Chapter 39 stone

Counting books and counting money, you must not forget your ancestors.The better life is, the more I miss my ancestors.The more I miss my ancestors, the more anxious I feel-the ancestors and ancestors have great names, but their voices and appearances cannot be heard.If there is a lack of voice and appearance, there will be no attachment to missing.It is rare for us to be filial, at least some of the ancestors of successful people have manifested their spirits in optical or electronic form, and we have a rough impression of the following ancestors, for example, Kangxi looks a bit like Zhang Guoli, and Qianlong looks a bit like Zhang Guoli. Like Zhang Tielin, Qin Shihuang sometimes looks like Jiang Wen, and sometimes he looks like Chen Daoming.etc.

Of course it's not enough.As descendants of Yan and Huang, what we think most about is the ancestors of our ancestors, that is, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.Missing always starts after breaking up. The problem is that the separation between these two masters and us has been too long.In addition to the incarnate life experience, brilliant political achievements, great inventions and illustrious military exploits, Yanhuang's dignity, official history such as "Historical Records? Five Emperors Benji" are not detailed.If it is based on unofficial history, most of the jigsaw puzzles made are monsters or half-human and half-beast.The statue of Emperor Yan in Xiannongtan in Yilan County, Taiwan has a human body with the head of a cow, horns on the head, and green, red, and black faces.The rest of the sages, according to Zhang Dai's "Night Sailing Boat": "Yao has eight colorful eyebrows. Shun's eyes have double pupils. King Wen has four breasts. Cangjie has four eyes. Yu's ears have three leaks." Except for frightening the underage descendants of the ancestors, they are all worthless. .The only desirable and inspirational thing is the advantage of height: "People in China are one foot long, and the emperors are the Yellow Emperor, Yao and King Wen; , people and ministers are old, so there are few."

Even the detailed description given by Shixin Shi will vary from person to person and cannot be fully believed. "Historical Records The Family of Confucius": "Confucius was suitable for Zheng, and lost with his disciples. Confucius was independent of Guo Dongmen. Zheng people may say that Zi Gong said: "There are people in the East Gate. Their mantles are like Yao, their items are like Gaoyao, and their shoulders are like Zichan, however, is less than three inches below Yu from the waist down, and he is like a bereaved dog." Zigong told Confucius the truth. Confucius smiled happily and said: "The shape is not yet. But it is said to be like a bereaved dog, yes! Yes! '".That is to say, for the observation results of Henan people, as the observed person, Confucius himself only scored 50 points.According to this standard, the statues of Confucius made by the descendants of the past dynasties have lost their spirit and form.

Although everyone on the earth is equal in the face of time and memory, the stones that cannot stand us in China are more spiritual than those in foreign countries.Recently, someone discovered a mountain in Henan that "resembles the two emperors of Yan and Huang in terms of appearance, image, verve, momentum, and manner." The relative height of the head is 1458 meters, and the shape is a high bun, wearing a coir raincoat, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes." The Henan Provincial Tourism Bureau hosted a demonstration meeting with the participation of experts from all walks of life.According to reports, experts were unanimously amazed by this, but the comments I saw on the Internet generally said that the two stones did resemble two adult men, such as Dong Cunrui and his comrades in arms, Guan Gong and Zhou Cang, Boyi and Shuqi , Marx and Engels, etc., just not like Yandi and Huangdi.Occasionally, one person agreed, but also pointed out that according to the picture, "Yanhuang turned out to be twins."

In fact, the "image" mentioned by experts is like the 106-meter-high granite giant statue of Emperor Yan and Huang that has been built on Xiangyang Mountain on the bank of the Yellow River.It is impossible for people to know about stones, probably due to the same provincial origin, and they gradually become alike as they grow.Therefore, no matter how you say it, you are serious about saying it is not like and saying it is exactly the same, and each has its own reasons.Especially the natural one. After all, it is a magical workmanship of nature. As long as it has a selling point and is conducive to tourism, why not?The stubborn rock at the foot of Qinggeng Peak once sold itself to Taoist Kongkong like a literary youth who was eager to publish a book: "The unofficial history has always followed the same pattern. It is better that I don't use this trick, but it is novel and unique... Although I dare not say that it is better than all the people in the previous book, but the whole story of the deeds can also relieve sorrow and boredom, and there are a few crooked poems and familiar words, which can be used for food and wine."

In fact, such pictographic stones are produced in all provinces of China, not only Henan. Let’s not talk about "Nitou Mountain" and "Wangfu Stone". The more explosive one is the "invisible" "invisible stone" made of three mountains that was accidentally discovered by Pan Hongzhong, a farmer in Guangdong, outside the Leshan Giant Buddha in 1989. Sleeping Buddha." As for tourist attractions such as Huangshan and Guilin, there are mountains and peaks on the side, and there are countless stones that look like dogs, especially along the Lijiang River. According to the tips of the tour guides, it is simply a stone age animal. In the farm, the animals are thriving.However, for enthusiast players, their eyes are not limited to stones and common animals.The year before last, Wang Xingling, a native of Sichuan, read five characters for "dragon" on a normal map of China.Dayou, "spread out the map, and a dragon flew out", it turned out that such a high-profile event did not necessarily happen after drinking, let alone 5!

Needless to say, we just love things that look like something else.In fact, as far as the apparitions of the Virgin Mary that appear and disappear in churches in southern Europe, as far as the face on the surface of Mars that can't be kissed for a light-year, the commonality of human games is a joy.Another commonality is that the ideology behind all "pictographic discoveries" at home and abroad is all based on happiness and auspiciousness. Sometimes it is difficult to completely break away from low-level interests. For example, in the Yugoslav movie, the Nazi officer asked his orderly: "Schmidt , what do you think that bridge looks like?" "Like an ass, sir!"—but at the very least, it's entertaining and entertaining.Once this criterion is surpassed—for example, the "Shanghai World Financial Center is shaped like the Japanese national emblem and Japanese command sword" that has been arguing on the Internet recently, if you play beyond the bounds and get dizzy, it will not be educational, let alone interesting. .Finally, I would like to borrow the scientific maxim on the notice board at the entrance of the casino in Macau to share with all "pictographic game" fans: "Play with spare money and keep it entertaining."
