Chapter 43 don't read cheating books

"Du Lie New Book" is a book written in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The author Zhang Yingyu, whose life is unknown.He collected some of the deceitful cases he had seen and heard, a total of more than 80 kinds, and explained them in detail, with the intention of teaching people how to avoid deception.This book was not widely circulated, and it gradually disappeared in China. Scholars copied it back from abroad decades ago to make it flourish again. Originally, it was only collected in several series of books. Bizarre books are becoming more and more popular on the street stalls. I saw a book store that had dozens of kinds of cheating books on display, and "Du Lie New Book" was one of them.

Are these books teaching people to cheat, or teaching people to avoid cheating?From the publisher to the reader, there are probably two kinds of intentions.In my opinion, it's useless no matter what.There are two types of deception, one is professional, and the other is from the heart and the opportunity.The former is taught in secret, which cannot be learned from cheating books; the latter does not need to be learned, and everyone can learn it without a teacher.As for anti-fraud, the former cannot be prevented, and the latter cannot be prevented. If everyone is on guard, society will collapse.

There are also two types of stories in "Du Lie New Book", one is ordinary people defrauding ordinary people (there are also some theft and robbery, which have little to do with fraud), and the other is professional deception.I have always admired and been curious about professional liars, and felt that without them, we would be so stupid that we would not know Iyhudi.In the world, there was Qin Shihuang, Xu Fu and Lu Sheng; Han Wudi, Luan Da and Shao Weng; Tang Xuanzong, Ye Fashan and Luo Gongyuan; Song Huizong, Guo Jing and Ye Lingsu; Ming Shizong, there were Tao Zongwen and Lan Daoxing, if we hit our feet with stones, we will bleed, and if we squeeze our heads with doors, we will feel dizzy. Wouldn't it be unreasonable to have no bad results?

During the period of the Republic of China, artist Lian Kuoru wrote "Jiang Hu Cong Tan", and once cited an example of "changing foreign faces", saying that the news of being deceived was published in newspapers, and everyone knew it. Ineffective, so making the deception public is the best way to prevent deception.But this method of preventing deception is not reliable. The deception that has been made public is still being used. If the method is slightly changed, we will be fooled. The first article in "Du Lie's New Book", "Take off the satin on a fake horse", and the following "Take off the bag on the road", etc., are the tricks that were later called "Meteor Chasing the Moon". Said, some tricks, can be said to be in the middle of the game, sometimes, just after talking about others, it is my turn immediately.Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty, his nephew and grandson-in-law Li Gan died after taking elixir. Han Yu wrote an epitaph for him, denouncing that taking elixirs "killing people is unacceptable", "The one who is good after the death is also said that the dead are unreasonable." But I am not... I will die and regret it. Woohoo! It’s sad, it’s sad.” It can be said that the analysis is clear, but he himself is old and his body is useless, and he secretly eats sulfur. As a result, Bai Juyi has The poem says: "Take sulfur when you retreat, and you will not be cured once you get sick."

Some of the tricks in "Du Lie New Book" have a long life.Going forward, in Song Dynasty Hong Mai's "Yi Jian Zhi" "Guan Wang Futou" records the shaman Zhu of Guan Gong Temple in Tongzhou. He accidentally found that someone's appearance was very similar to the yellow-clothed god in the temple, so he asked this person to go to the city. I ordered a big Futou (a kind of hat), and the shopkeeper hadn’t seen him for a long time. Later, when I went to the temple, I saw a statue of a god in yellow clothes. It was the person who came to the store to make the big Futou. Soaked in obscene biography, a government competes to pay respect to each other." In "New Book of Du Cheats", the article "Monk defrauds people with Kalan" is almost exactly the same as this one, except that one defrauds property and the other defrauds people's beliefs, which is exactly the same origin.It will be said later, the twenty-fourth chapter of the novel: "This monk has shaved his head for many years, put salt on his head, and went to the place where the cattle were grazing. The tongue came to lick his head. Whenever a cow licked salt, his eyes would water. He said it was his father, and went to the house crying and begging for alms. When the alms came, he sold them for money. "This story is exactly the article "The monk recognizes the cow as the mother" in "Du Lie New Book". The only difference is that one is a bull and the other is a cow, so there is a difference between recognizing the father and mother.Later, Ding Zhitang's "Shiyinzhai Shebi" in the late Qing Dynasty wrote that the thief told the cloth dealer, I want to steal the samovar pot from that house. If you see it, don't say anything. The cloth dealer said, "It's none of my business if you steal from him." I don't say anything.The cloth dealer looked around with interest for a long time, but he did not see the cooking pot being stolen. Looking back, he found that his cloth was missing several bundles. "strip.

Let's talk about it later... and let's talk about today.When I watch TV and newspapers, I often talk about some cases and teach everyone to be careful. I think that those professional scammers exist everywhere, and they are not a serious problem in society. In the big deception, but be careful every day, beware of your neighbors, beware of innocent passers-by, and beware of some trivial things, you may not see the forest for the trees.
