Chapter 2121: The Battle of Flowers (29)

   Chapter 2121 Flower War (twenty-nine)

  Su Dongpo also wrote a poem:

   The flowers faded and the red and green apricots were small. When the swallows, green water around people. There are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world.

  The swing in the wall is outside the wall. Pedestrians outside the wall, beautiful women inside the wall laugh. The laughter gradually faded away, but the sentimental was ruthlessly annoyed.

The scene described by the word    is a passer-by who heard the laughter of the girl in the fence swinging on the swing, and couldn't help but stop to imagine the scene.

The woman has been locked in her boudoir since she was 12 years old. Occasionally, she can hear the singing of the salesmen walking on the streets. Some curious women will hold a mirror, stay in the dark and peep at the gate, and see what is coming in. people.

  A wall not only isolates the opportunities for communication between male and female relatives, but also produces two different ways of life. When the Peony Pavilion is performed in the Admiral's Mansion, the people also have their own celebrations. Puppet shows are popular in Fujian, Zhejiang and Chaoshan areas. The biggest difference between these puppets and European puppets is not only the clothes and the dress of the characters.

Puppets are mentioned in the Iliad and Odyssey. The origin of European puppets is considered to be in the ancient Greek period. Even the performance of religious themes is a myth, while Chinese puppets were first used in funeral ceremonies, or they were all used to replace living people. Burial objects.

   It is very cruel to treat living people as funeral objects. At least after the death of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, there were concubines buried for him. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, if there were no living people buried, it means that this person was not a person of high power, and Shang Yang abolished this cruel and inhumane funeral system through reforms, although he did so in order to have more farmers farming, and more soldiers to fight.

The earliest name of the puppet was "human figurines". At first, it was made of ceramics, and then it became wood. In "Shuowen Jiezi", the "puppet" was made of paulownia wood. It can be seen that the ancient Chinese believed that puppets were soulful.

   They made the puppets very beautifully to make them look like a living person, but there was no dramatic element to the intention. In "The Rites of Zhou", Fang Xiangshi wore a bear skin, a golden mask, black clothes and a scarlet skirt, holding a shield in his hand to search for the plague ghost in the palace and drive it away. What is particularly interesting is that Fang Xiang's family is also responsible for exorcising ghosts from the tomb, so as to prevent wild ghosts who are not the tomb owner from enjoying the sacrifices that the tomb owner should enjoy.

   And Fang Xiangshi's ritual of exorcising ghosts in the tomb is called "Family Funeral". Probably at the end of the Han Dynasty, some people deliberately asked to perform puppet shows and sang elegy at banquets in order to prove their bravery. The main content of the elegy is to express grief for the deceased. The appearance of these two funeral rituals at the wedding is really shocking, so some people think that this is a sign of the impending demise of the Han Dynasty.

The puppet show is derived from religious rituals with witchcraft nature. Even if it is not performed in funeral ceremonies later, its exorcism effect has not deteriorated. For example, it will be rehearsed in the so-called "evil spirit" situations such as the completion of temples and fires, and pregnancy is prohibited. woman watching. In some places, it is called "God Opera", and the content is mainly to exorcise evil spirits and invite blessings. Therefore, puppet opera has a mysterious and mysterious color, and it is also the most taboo type of folk opera. .

  There are many things in the Forbidden City that are not accessible to the common people, and even those literati who participated in the imperial examinations, such as "Bai Ding" and Juren, have access to different information.

   Emperor Shunzhi set the capital at BJ in the Qing Dynasty. Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchens in the state, changed the country's name to Daqing. The capital at that time was Xingjing, and later it was changed to "Tokyo" Liaoyang. After Nurhaci died, Huang Taiji came to the throne, and after expanding Shenyang, it was changed to Shengjing, and Shengjing was used as the capital.

  Huang Taiji did this mainly to avoid smallpox, but this plague was still unavoidable, and smallpox still spread in the palace. Even Emperor Kangxi was chosen to be the emperor because he had experienced smallpox.

The establishment of the Jehol Mountain Resort was not entirely because the emperor liked extravagance to escape the summer and cool off. You can understand that it was a quarantine area, so as to prevent the leaders and soldiers of the foreign nations from bringing smallpox into the densely populated BJ, or the Han people. Infect smallpox to those who are outside the country.

   not only strengthens the relationship between the central government and various ethnic groups, but also reduces the risk.

Dayuer is a Mongolian woman, she grew up on the grassland, Mongolia is her hometown to her, and Aisin Gioro Fulin grew up in BJ City, his teachers are almost all Han Chinese, and Still the champion of the Ming Dynasty, he can even discuss the "Book of Changes" with Cao Benrong, which involves a question. The Manchu Qing Dynasty "conquered the world at once", should they continue to "govern the world at once"?

  As a Manchu ruler, after Shunzhi came into power, Han officials were re-used, and their status was significantly improved. Fan Wencheng even became a minister of state affairs. No Han officials had ever held this position before.

  Nurhaci, Huang Taiji, etc. all stipulated that Han officials could not hold their seals in each yamen, but Shunzhi ignored this rule, and whoever had a higher official rank would have the seal.

  The tsar wanted Manchu Qing to recognize it as a colony of Tsarist Russia, and Shunzhi asked the tsar to pay tribute in return. The first battle between Tsarist Russia and Manchu Qing to sign the Treaty of Nerchinsk began in the Shunzhi period, and the treaty was not signed until the Kangxi period.

  In another way of understanding, the emperor surnamed Li in the Tang Dynasty was also a member of the Xianbei tribe, but they fought against the Turks together with the Han nationality, and they also recognized Laozi Li Er as an ancestor, and they became part of the history of China.

   These belong to the emperor's mind, and a street juggler can never come into contact with it in his life. Similarly, he can't know if he has not worked in the Xilin Gioro family. Youdao is the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and this is not just because the servants are arrogant.

   Concubine Dong E had a miserable life in the palace, even though it wasn't her who was at fault.

   She was married, but the Shunzhi Emperor had a crush on her, like a nomadic leader from a Manchu army officer, and soon became an imperial concubine.

Not to mention the queen who was abolished as Concubine Jing, ordinary concubines were also jealous of her. The fourth son she gave birth to, died after only a few months. Women may not dare to hold weapons like men, white knives Go in, the red knife will come out, but you still dare to deal with a baby, such as poisoning or covering the child's face with a pillow to suffocate it.

   This invisible and invisible method is scoffed at by some people, and convinced by others. Regarding the death method of Concubine Dong E, there are different opinions in the palace. Although Xilin Jue Luo's family was a bit "yesterday's yellow flower" when they brought people into their home, they are the leader of the E Party and the family of Ertai in the "Zhang E dispute", and Zhang is what Zhang Tingyu said.

Heshen's original residence was not a mansion near Shichahai. In ancient times, there was a torture called "abandoning the city", that is, the body was not buried after execution, but was thrown there for public display. The execution ground in the Ming Dynasty was called Xishi, and there were A famous snack that sells donkey meat from Baoding, both raw and cooked, gradually that place is known as Donkey Meat Hutong, where Liu Yong’s house is located.

   Heshen belonged to Zhenghongqi, and Donkey Meat Hutong happened to be the territory of Zhenghongqi, where Heshen was born.

  Before the Yuan Dynasty, it belonged to the suburbs. When Kublai Khan built the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, it was only enclosed in the city. In the Ming Dynasty, it became the execution ground for prisoners. Yuan Chonghuan was in Lingchi in the West City.

   Not all of them have brought so many troubles on the road like Juren. He lived in the temple in Shichahai during one of the "contemporaneous periods".

  How could he know so much as a foreigner? It would be nice to have a place to stay. One night, he would light up a lamp to read at night, and unknowingly it was late at night, and then the oil lamp he lit turned green.

   In the thirty-three years of Qianlong’s sweltering summer, the hut he lived in was exceptionally cool, but no matter how cool it was, it wouldn’t be so cold in summer that a stove was needed to keep warm.

   He knew that he couldn't stay there for long, so he ran overnight to the Zhenwu Temple next door, which was a Taoist temple, and the Taoist priests told him about the past. At dawn the next day, I heard that someone had died in the temple.

  The room not far from where Juren's friend lived was sealed in the thirty-first year of Qianlong's reign.

   When the man was carried out, another seal was pasted in the temple, and the abbot of the temple was as solemn as "the old monk enters the meditation", as if he already knew what was going to happen.

   This is clearly a "Lanruo Temple", and friends of Juren would rather go to Donkey Row Alley to rent a dilapidated house next to the stinking barn, and no longer live there.

   Later, he contracted malaria and lost half his life. Although he was finally recuperated, he did not take the examination again after participating in the imperial examination in Qianlong's thirty-fourth year.

   After the capital of Shunzhi was established in BJ, the Qing court immigrated to the northeast to open up wasteland in Liaodong. In the fifth year of Qianlong, because of too many immigrants, the court announced a ban, but it was completely useless.

  There are only four ports along the coast, and no one cares about how to go on land. After the silk fabrics from Jiangnan and tea from central and southern China were transported here, they were transported to Liaoyang, Shengjing, Fushun and other places. They then sent ginseng, fur and other materials to big cities in the mainland, and they soon made a fortune.

  Juren’s friend also went to “Kandong” and became a grocery store owner. Although he couldn’t afford bird’s nest, abalone, and sea cucumber, he could still afford stewed vermicelli with pork and stewed chicken with mushrooms.

   On their side there is also the "Jumping God", which belongs to the shaman, with a scary wooden mask on his face and a tinkling bell and ribbon on his body, but it is not the same as the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

  While missionaries had brought heliocentrism and celestial kinematics, emperors during the Kang and Qian dynasties were more interested in those high-yielding American crops. With these crops, even if you can't eat rice and noodles, you can use potatoes and sweet potatoes to satisfy your hunger. This has led to a continuous birth of the population and an increase in the number of abandoned babies and beggars.

   Bewitching, confusing.

   "Zuo Zhuan" has a cloud, women confuse men, the wind falls down the mountain, it is called the mountain wind, and the chaos is extreme.

  Su Dongpo said: When tools are not used for a long time, insects are born; people feast and drown for a long time, and they are born sick;

  Corruption must be dealt with in order to cure poison. When dealing with corruption, one must be "noble" and maintain one's noble integrity.

  Wang Yangming compares the human heart to a mirror. As long as it is covered with light by dust, everything will be dirty. Therefore, it is necessary to grind the mirror frequently to restore its original appearance.

   This is very much like what Shenxiu said:

   The body is a bodhi tree, and the mind is a mirror stand.

   Wipe it diligently from time to time, and don’t make it dusty.

As for the realm that Huineng said, it is easy to say, but it is too difficult to cultivate. Not to mention Huineng, it is difficult to achieve the "mirror grinding" mentioned by Wang Yangming. After all, not everyone has such perseverance and insists on their own will without wavering. of. Even after Wang Yangming went to BJ, he happened to meet Zhang Juzheng's reform, and he had no choice but to get involved in the party dispute.

   In addition to seclusion in the mountains and forests, who can be alone?
