Chapter 30 Gui Hou

Luo Tan In the foreign market, it has long been extinct to sprinkle a bottle of strong water on the woman he hates.Sprinkling the lawyers he hated with filth lasted only two months.The longest one is to create rumors to slander the literati they hate. This has been said for several years. I think it will only be less and not more. There are many idlers in the foreign field, and they can still live by "eating white food", not to mention sometimes playing a few rounds of horse generals.The twittering of the little lady is not a place for leisure.I am one of the people who often reads rumor-making magazines, but what I read is not rumors, but the methods of the rumor writer, to see what strange fantasies, novel descriptions, sinister framings, and evasive truths he has.It takes talent to spread rumours, and if he does it well, even if it is my own rumour, I'm afraid I will love his ability.

But it is a pity that most of them do not have such talents, and the author is still "filling in" in rumor literature [2].This is not my personal opinion.Novels that tell stories in the literary world are not popular, and foreign history is no longer done, [3] it can be seen that many people have shaken their heads.It's always the same when you talk about it, and even if you have a bad memory, you will get bored after listening to it too much.If you want to continue, you must have talent at this time; otherwise, the audience will be separated, and you should change to another play to attract seats.

For example, let's say "Killing Son News" [4] before, this time it must be "San Niang Jiaozi" [5], "Old Dongren, alas, alas, alas!" And the literary field is actually like a theatrical field, and it has gradually "returned to the people's morals" (6). It also hurts honesty. This journal will stop publishing this manuscript in the future. ... I will not be responsible for the previous statement." Also respectable. Especially respectable is the replacement of the clerk.This is not to respect his "no responsibility", but to respect his thoroughness.In ancient times, although there were people who "put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha immediately", there were also people who "put down their official seals and recited Buddha's name immediately" and finally "put down their rosary beads and became an official immediately". Great faith in the world: It's a bit embarrassing for people to do things.

However, what is particularly embarrassing is that honest literature is not as easy to appeal to readers as rumor literature, so there must be writers with greater talents. If it is difficult to find for a while, the publication will be inferior.I thought, it would be better to use the Er Chou who was joked about earlier to wear a long beard to sing an old-fashioned play, then, for a while, it would be special and interesting.November 4th.

The Nanguo officials please play Yu for the king. Hundreds of people. King Xuan died, oe⊥趿ⅲ was dispirited and dispirited and imprinted! 〔3〕The "novels of stories in the literary world" and "foreign history" mentioned here refer to those maliciously fabricated by some reactionary and boring literati at that time. Works alluding to people in the cultural circles, such as Zhang Ruogu's "Po Han Fan", Yang Cunren's "New Confucian Scholars" (only the first chapter was written), etc. [4] "Sha Zi Bao" once showed adultery and murder and superstitious thoughts. [5] "San Niang Jiaozi" is an old play that promotes the idea of ​​righteousness. "Old Dongren" is the old servant Xue Bao's name for the master Xue Guang in the play.

〔6〕The phrase "people's morality is strong" can be found in "The Analects of Confucius Xueer": "Zeng Zi said: 'Be careful in the end and pursue the distant future, and the people's morality is strong.'" [7] For "Wei Yan", see Note [4] on page 182 of this volume.The twentieth issue of the first volume of the journal (October 15, 1933) published the "Notice of Reorganization", stating that the original founder He Dayi and other eight people had broken away from the journal. From the twentieth issue, Qian Weixue and other four people took over, and at the same time, the "announcement" of You Qian and other four people was published; the few sentences quoted here are from the latter "announcement".
