Chapter 68 Pulse

Anyone who has seen the lithographic books popular in Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty probably remembers that in addition to the famous Tongwen Lithograph Bureau, there is also a company called Maiwangshanfang.The word pulse and hope is very unfamiliar, not only today's "shufaxiaosheng" will not know whether it is a noun or a verb, but even some "Tongru" who have worked hard in investigating things to gain knowledge may not necessarily know the origin of these two words .In fact, to put it bluntly, Maiwang is a silverfish, a small silvery-white bug with a long tail that we often find in old books or wardrobes.

But why is it called Pulse Wang?The source is Duan Chengshi's "Xiyang Zazu", he said: "At the end of Jianzhong, the scholar He satirized. He bought an ancient book on yellow paper and read it in a volume. The volume in the volume was four inches in size, like a ring for no reason. Why was it cut off? Water dripped from the two ends of the break, and the rest was burned. Those who satirize the Tao say that the king is solid and vulgar, and that he cannot become a feather when he encounters this, and his fate is also. According to the fairy scriptures, the silverfish eats three gods, and then turns into this thing, which is called Pulse Wang, which is reflected in the night In the same day, the star, the star envoy descends immediately, and you can ask for the pill back. Take this water and drink it, and immediately change your bone to be a guest. Because I read it from an ancient book, there are several leaks, and I read it for meaning, and it is all immortal words. The satirical party cried V."

The silverfish that can turn into a pulse is commonly called bookfish or silverfish, and its scientific name is heplomasaccharina. "Erya" explains that the worm is called a scorpion, a white fish.The commentary says that insects in Yishu are yellow at the beginning, and become powdery when they get old. They look like silver, and their shape is slightly like a fish.Although this silverfish is also common in the south, it does not seem to cause as much damage as the young pupae of another small black shellfish.Because it is not the kind of guy who can turn thread-bound or foreign-bound books into "exquisite boards".

Because the pulse that can make people soar in the daytime is formed by silverfish eating the fairy characters in the book, so some fools who are eager to become immortals specially wrote the fairy characters to feed the silverfish, hoping that it will become pulse hope soon .It turned out that he couldn't turn into a god, but he got crazy first. This is really a big joke.See "Northern Meng Suoyan" written by Song people.The son of Tang Shangshu Zhang Jian, a young man heard that Biyu entered the Taoist scriptures. Because moths eat the characters of immortals, they have five colors in their bodies.Zhang Zi was puzzled by this, but cut out the characters of immortals and put them in a bottle. He caught fish on the wall and threw them into them.

Originally, there was a golden house in the book, and there was Yan Ruyu in the book, which was enough for a nerd to dream for a lifetime, and now with the opportunity to soar in the sky, naturally there is no other way to choose except to become a psychopath.
