The Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: The Competition in the Central Plains

"This is a good idea. Director Wang said with a smile:"Since King Jin inherited the imperial court, there have been many things and complicated affairs. It is also a great pleasure to be able to write poems under the stars and the moon outside. Oh, by the way, you made up for the Yongxing Order, how did you do?"

"It's not bad. Once I went to the people for overt and covert visits to observe the people's sentiments, and I felt that the people were quite satisfied."Wang Jian said:"As long as there are no murders and arson, there will be no major incidents in the county. When I was the minister of Langye Kingdom, I loved writing poems and painting to pass the time. Now in Yongxing, in addition to handling county affairs, I also sort out previous poems and articles"

"A few years ago, Du Tao rebelled, and you sent a letter to the imperial court to persuade the imperial court to attack. Your"Jian Shang Shu and Encourage the Emperor to Conquer" can be said to be of high literary talent, majestic and inspiring. Perhaps it was because of your superiority that King Langya at that time, now His Royal Highness the King of Jin, sent my cousins ​​Wang Dun and Tao Kan to attack him. Du Tao had to surrender to the court, and later rebelled again for some reason. Finally, Du Tao died under the pursuit of Tao Kan's army. My cousin cherishes your talents and plans to ask you to serve as the secretary of his general's palace and join the army. I wonder what Mr. Wang wants?!"

"What about this? I need to think it over carefully before I give you an answer. Wang Jian cupped his hands and saluted:"Then it's settled. On the evening of the seventh day of July, we will drink and talk happily on the Zhuque Bridge, watch the moon and compose poems." You can not only look up to admire the moon, but also enjoy the reflection of the moon in the Qinhuai River."

At dusk half a month later, several carriages, oxen carts, and donkey carts arrived at Zhuque Bridge one after another. From these horse, oxen, and donkey carts, Diao Xie, Wang Cheng, Xunsong, Zhuge Hui, and Ji Zhan got down one after another. , He Xun, Xue Jian, Wang Jian and Wang Dao. The nine people greeted each other and came to the Zhuque Bridge. In addition to the driver, there was a servant following each vehicle. The driver tied the horse, cow and donkey to On the trees by the river, they then put the tables and stools they brought from their cars on the Suzaku Bridge, and then arranged the food and wine they brought, and then gathered by the river to chat about their daily life. The nine people sat on their own In front of my desk, night has fallen

"Lord Wang Jian, why are there nine people?"Xun Song asked jokingly. Wang Jian smiled and said:"Do you even need to ask, because among the single numbers, nine is the largest."

"Ha ha ha ha!"There were bursts of hearty laughter on the Zhuque Bridge, and the aroma of wine and food also filled the air on the Zhuque Bridge. The nine people all held a cattail leaf fan in their hands. They all held the cattail leaf fan in their left hand and drank from the wine bottle in their right hand. Everyone There is no need for servants to pour the wine, they all drink it themselves, and no one is trying to persuade anyone. Some people passing by stop to watch and point.

"The weather is hot these days. I wonder if the stars and moon in the sky are hot?"Putting down the wine bottle, Diao Xie looked at the sky and shook the fan in his hand. Zhuge Hui said:"There are three hundred and sixty days in a year, and the sky and the world are different. I guess the stars in the sky are not hot."

"Mr. Zhuge, you are neither a star nor have you flown to a star. Why do you say stars are not hot? Is it because the stars are high? Ji Zhan said with a smile.

"I also think it's not hot above the stars. Isn't there a saying that says,"It's cold at high places"? Xue Jian also said something and smiled:"Everyone has food and drinks.""

"Gentlemen, you are not stars, how do you know stars are not hot? Xun Song said:"But I know it must be very hot on Vega today.""

"Why is it so hot on Vega today? Wasn't it hot or very cold on Vega yesterday or tomorrow? Are you a Cowherd?"Wang Cheng said jokingly

"Your argument reminds me of Zhuang Zhou Mengdie’"Diao Xie said:"Hundreds of years ago, Zhuang Zhou was lying in the grass one day, and then he fell asleep unknowingly. In his sleep, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had turned into a butterfly. The butterfly was flying all over the sky. Flying to the sky, and then landing on the flowers and grass, wandering around, free and very comfortable. After Zhuang Zhou woke up, he couldn't find the butterfly. Zhuang Zhou said to himself,"Am I the butterfly or the butterfly?" What if he became Zhuang Zhou?'"

There was a burst of laughter from the Zhuque Bridge again. As the convener of drinking and composing poems during the Chinese Valentine's Day today, Wang Jian said nothing. He shook his head sometimes and nodded sometimes, not knowing what he was thinking. Director Wang saw that it was almost done and said:"My lords, everyone is laughing and joking in a lively manner. Have you forgotten why we are gathering today?!"

Zhuque Bridge suddenly became lively. Nine people stood up one after another, looking up to the sky. He Xun said:"If it is the fifteenth day, the bright moon will illuminate the sky. This is the so-called lack of moon stars. Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, and the moon is a semicircle, which does not affect our search for the two lovers Vega and Altair."

"There are so many stars in the sky, which one is Altair or Vega? It’s really hard to find!"Xue Jian said. Director Wang, who said little from beginning to end, said:"Altair and Vega are the two brighter stars in the sky. Everyone carefully found the Milky Way in the sky from the northeast to the southwest, and then looked for the brightest star on the west side of the Milky Way, which is Vega. To the east of the Milky Way, find three stars connected in a line. The star in the middle is the brightest, which is Altair, and the two stars at the ends are dimmer."

"There are two less bright stars on both sides of the bright Altair. What's going on? Xue Jian asked:"And, where is the magpie bridge?""

"The less bright stars on both sides of Altair are the two children of Altair! When the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl fell in love and got married in the human world, the Jade Emperor was furious and sent heavenly soldiers and generals to the human world to capture the Weaver Girl and bring her back to heaven. The Cowherd saw what was going on, what about the two children, a boy and a girl? But Cowherd is a mortal and has no way to go to heaven. But the cow that the Cowherd herded turned out to be a sacred cow. The Cowherd carried two children on one load, grabbed the sacred cow's tail and went up to heaven! Director Wang said:"As for whether you can see the Magpie Bridge, it depends on everyone's luck." Maybe if the sky is cloudy, the Magpie Bridge will appear"

"It is said that the Tianhe River also has some history?"Sima Hui said with a smile. Director Wang continued:"There is some origin. That sacred bull was so powerful that it was about to catch up with Weaver Girl. At this time, the Queen Mother took off the weaving shuttle and drew it between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. This was an incredible moment, the Milky Way separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl!"

"Hahaha!"The nine people laughed again and again. Wang Cheng said:"Master Wang Jian, have you finished the idea? There are eight of us, but we are here to appreciate your masterpiece!"

"about there. Wang Jian said:"I recite poems and ask Master Maohong to write them.""

"The best! Director Wang shouted to the servant by the river:"Bring me a pen and ink!""

Director Wang spread a piece of light-colored cloth on the table, dipped it in ink and prepared to write.

Wang Jian: Watching the Weaver Girl on Chinese Valentine's

Day. The Morning Bull and the Weaver Girl mourned for leaving home. One night and one night, this period is commendable.

He Yi The Xuanmen is open, and the flying pavilion is lush and lofty. Thousands of vehicles are driven faintly, and Khotan and Khotan cross the stars.

Six dragons are riding the Yao bridle, Wen Chi is carrying the Qiong chariot. The fire elixir is holding the rose candle, and the plain girl is holding the Qionghua.

The crimson flag is like spitting out electricity, and the red cover is like Zhenxia. Yunshao is noisy, and the spirit drums are beating in harmony. When the Xuanxuan is stopped and the silk is high, the family members are in the precarious state. The Ze is stained by fragrant dew, and the grace is attached to the orchid wind.

The bright hair is swimming along with the graceful Luan Luo Luo. Traveling together, we have different views, and we have many worries and resentments.

Because of the end of the three blessings, I think you belong to Huang'e.
