Chapter 67 mistake

——The common beginning of Chinese stories In China, mistakes are not necessarily a bad thing. The poet Chouyu has a poem titled, the last sentence "My Dada's horseshoe is a beautiful mistake" has been like a famous flute for forty years, and I don't know how many lips have played it. Then it blew. "Three Kingdoms" records that Zhou Yuya is good at rhythm, even after drinking, she can still easily distinguish the mistakes of musicians.At that time, there was a folk song that sang: "There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Lang Gu." The later poets were troubled, and deliberately rewritten two sentences: "To make Zhou Lang Gu, always mistakenly stroke the strings." The girl was greedy for Zhou Lang's facial features, and played a few wrong notes in the story, causing him to look back frequently. Zhou Lang, who was so romantic and handsome, never expected that he would be hit by a sweet trick of playing the piano.

In China, the mistake in the story seems to be the cleverness of the girl playing the piano, which is kind and beautiful-think about it, if you can't get a few notes right, how can you earn your attention?Mistakes, sometimes almost a necessity for Chinese stories.Don't feel weird if you see plays like "Flower Field Mistake", "Kite Mistake" and "Into the Taoyuan by Mistake". A German dramatist Brecht wrote "The Chalk Circle of the Caucasus", which not only took the Chinese story as the blueprint, but also learned the performance method of Chinese Pingju. In the end, even the judge who judged the case was very Chinese.He deliberately misjudged the two cases, but instead saved the two marriages. It was a complete Chinese-style blunder, and he became a good place by himself.

As a Chinese reader or viewer, although he is well-trained, when the storyteller's pear blossom bamboo slips slammed or when the book was full and he was about to cover the book and sigh, he couldn't help but think, huh?Why did it happen again? Why did all the plots clearly start with a little mistake?Let's talk about it first, Nuwa refined stones to mend the sky, but it happened that she refined 36,501 yuan.Originally, 36,500 was a complete number, very accurate and correct, and it could just make up for Can Tian.Since Nu Wa is a god, she is actually discerning in her heart, but she deliberately wants to let her always correct self make a mistake once, and make her always shrewd method make a mistake. "Correctness" should only be a requirement for work, and "wrongness" is a difficult problem that she is willing to leave to herself. She wants to see how that extra stone will go back and forth between the world, going in and out of reality, and going through many trials and tribulations. Love robbery.

It was this little bit of error, so there was a stubborn stone under the Qinggeng Peak of Wuji Cliff in Dahuang Mountain, and because of this stubborn stone, the future psychic gem was brought out. The whole movie turned out to be just a 36,500th error in mathematics and slipped out of the track, and gradually evolved into a series of absurd and vague plots.Mistakes in the world are often not beautiful, but beauty is often not wrong. Only when you are lucky enough to encounter "beautiful mistakes" can you produce a story of singing and crying. The casting error in the wedge is similar to the Greek myth "Pandora's Box", they are all curious, to pry into the mysteries that human beings should not pursue.

But in comparison, Hong Taiwei's "unpacking" is much more complicated than Pandora's "opening the box".He finished walking at the end of the right corridor of Sanqing Hall, and found a strange and mysterious building: there were more than a dozen seals crossed on the door cracks, and there were four "Halls of Subduing Demons" hanging above it, which are said to have been since the Tang Dynasty. Eight or nine generations of celestial masters personally pasted another layer of cover, and Suo Confucius also poured copper juice.Hong Taiwei couldn't help the temptation, broke the lock, tore off the seal, kicked down the gate, slammed into the stone tablet, removed the stone tortoise, and finally picked up a large bluestone slab measuring one foot square, only then did he see that there was a The abyss.In an instant, the black smoke rose up, scattered into golden light, and shot out.With just one thought, he let go of thirty-two heavenly stars and seventy-two earth evil stars, a total of one hundred and eight demon kings...

This is how the one hundred and eight heroes in "Little Hu Zhuan" came about. That recklessness unexpectedly coincided with the way of heaven in the dark, as early as in the calculation of the celestial master-Chinese stories will always find order in chaos and disorder.After all, these one hundred and eight heroes once made the desolate age full of enthusiasm, and gave the crooked world a straight heart.Of course, Yao, Shun, Confucius and Mencius should not be missing from the history of China, but if it weren’t for Taiwei Hong’s disturbance in Fumo Temple, we would have lost Lin Chong who ran at night or Lu Zhishen who was drunk and shot out of the mountain gate. It would be a pity to think about it!

Hong Taiwei's nonsense is like a naughty boy pushing down the altar, scattering the fresh melons and fruits in the curling smoke all over the ground, thus making the pure offerings in the heavens turn into snacks for children in the world.Comparing the two, I would rather see Hong Taiwei violate the secret, because there is no story without mistakes-and how can a life without stories be tolerated? What is the reason for one?Speaking of it, it was also because Baihua Fairy made a small administrative mistake, so there was a plot where all the flower fairies were relegated to the mortal world.Made a mistake, and spent a long life to make up for it, this is actually part of the human story!

Perhaps because we are an agricultural society, our stories are full of respect for the four seasons and the timing of wind, frost, rain and dew.In order to make a bet with someone, the old dragon king deliberately delayed the raining time by two hours and reduced the rainfall by three inches and eight points. As a result, he was beheaded tragically.However, the Dragon King is a male, and it is ruthless to use the criminal law to pursue responsibility.Speaking of which, the fate of female fairies is much better. Feminism in China's fairy world has always been quite high. Apart from the queen mother who is the iron lady of the fairy world, the female fairies also hold important positions.Like "Hundred Flower Fairy", it is the most beautiful task.Later, because the game of visiting friends did not return, the ordering system was messed up, and the snowy night of all flowers was ordered to open ahead of schedule by the empress of the world.This "beautiful mistake" led to a very popular punishment in China's immortal world-relegation to the mortal world.This kind of immortal who has become a human is the so-called "exiled immortal" (Li Bai was once suspected of having this identity).Fortunately, their punishment is very different from that of the Dragon King, otherwise, if they also cut off the heads of the flowers, it would be a mess of red and purple, wouldn't it be sad!

Now that Baihua has entered the mortal world, each of them has a different life experience. They are frivolous and beautiful, and they are unconventional, and each strides their own life journey. This period of beautiful mistakes and beautiful punishments are too good to be envied! From a comparative literary point of view, some people think that Chinese stories often lack rebellious heroes.Gods like Zeus, who kill their fathers and stand on their own feet, and Athena, who have to use an ax to cut the head of their fathers to jump out, are rare in China.Prince Nezha, who is still considered a troublemaker, would never dare to "rebel" once he conflicted with his father.Chinese stories always start with a small mistake, such as refining an extra stone, accidentally breaking a glazed cup, and opening the magic seal on the jar too early. (Guan Gong was born prematurely because of this, and had a fetus-like red face all his life.) It is not rebellion, it is an understandable petty crime, it is a mistake, it is carelessness, it is a whim or a momentary oversight. "Treason" is too strong, that's not the Chinese way.There is only "wrong" in Chinese stories, and "wrong" is both a "wrong" mistake and a "staggered" mistake. The staggering is not a serious matter, but the interaction between two people or two things - in the intertwined relationship between people It doesn't matter if it's wrong.Like a fairy of a hundred flowers, when he comes back from the dust, he is still a fairy, still pure and fragrant, and still blooming on time as accurately as he is in charge of military orders.Even during the period of punishment, it was also a beautiful punishment. They are daughters of the world, Lan Xinhuizhi, born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, all of them "inspect their talents and show off their beauty". I couldn't help but be in awe.

There are many advantages to being young, and the most arrogant one is that you have the capital to make mistakes. When young people make mistakes, you have to support them. Once, I assigned students homework and asked them to read dozens of poems every time. Poems, recorded on tapes and turned in.Some students read very well, and sometimes they read and sang very well.Some of them have no intentions. Su Dongpo's "A good year must be remembered, it is when orange, yellow and orange are green", for some reason, several students read it as "A good year must be remembered", I shook my head and smiled Well, no matter what he thinks, Su Dongpo probably won't be too angry.The original sentence was "Please remember these beautiful scenery", but now it has become "You have to remember the beautiful scenery".There are good times every year, but you have to have good people to remember!You are my friend who can remember the beauty of the world!

Sometimes mispronounced poems also have their own secrets and passwords to press, as long as you have a heart willing to accept them. In China, those small mistakes, those unintentional mistakes, are like a fork in the road after deviating from the main road.The forked road also has its own impressive scenery, and the "winding path" seems to be able to "pass through the secluded" with confidence.There are mistakes, and life and the world may as well adopt Chinese-style small mistakes, small mistakes, or small inaccuracies in addition to its severe restrictions and tragic rebellion.Allowing fork roads can be the starting point of another road, and allowing mistakes is a beautiful plot in Chinese stories.
