Xiamen Communications (1) H． M． (2) brother: I've been here for almost a month, I'm lazy in a three-story building, and I don't write many letters to everyone.This building is right by the sea, and it is blown by the sea breeze day and night.There are quite a few shells on the seashore. I checked them a few times, but nothing special.There are not many people around, and the nearest shop I know is only one, which sells canned food and pastries, and the shopkeeper is a woman, who is probably a generation older than me. The scenery is not bad at first glance, with mountains and water.When I first arrived, a colleague told me: the mountains and seas are different in spring and autumn.He also pointed out the stones to me: this one looks like a tiger, that one looks like a toad, and that one looks like something....I forgot, and it's not quite the same.I am not sensitive to natural beauty and self-hate, so even if I celebrate the beautiful scenery on a good day, I am not very moved.But for several days, I couldn't forget the remains of Zheng Chenggong[3].There is a city wall not far from my residence, which is said to have been built by him.When I think that apart from Taiwan, this Xiamen is the last place where our China will die after the Manchus entered the border, I really feel sad and happy.Taiwan did not die until 1683, the 22nd year of the so-called "Emperor Ren", who revived the "Thirteen Classics" and "Twenty-one Histories" Stereotyped [4].Now, some citizens are eager to read the scriptures; the "Twenty-one History" on the temple board has also become a treasure, and antique bibliophiles spend a lot of money to buy and store them at home for the benefit of their descendants.However, Zheng Chenggong's city is very lonely. I heard that the sand at the foot of the city was stolen and sold to someone on the opposite side of Gulangyu Island, which is about to endanger the foundation of the city.

〔5〕One day early in the morning, I saw many small boats with heavy drafts sailing towards Gulangyu Island. They were probably the compatriots selling sand. The surroundings are very quiet; there is no new publication from Beijing or Shanghai to buy nearby, so sometimes I feel a little lonely, but I can't see the smoky "Modern Review".I don't know why, there are so many honest gentlemen and scholars writing, but it is not very popular. In the past few days, I want to compile my miscellaneous feelings for this year.Since I wrote these things, especially the things about Chen Yuan, several gentlemen who claim to be "neutral" have given me advice, saying that if you continue to write, it will be boring.But not because of the advice, but because of the changes in the environment, I have not had any miscellaneous feelings recently, and even forgot about the collection of old works.A few nights ago, I suddenly heard Mei Lanfang's [6] "artist" singing, which was naturally left on the gramophone, like a rough and blunt needle point, which made my eardrum very uncomfortable.So I thought about my miscellaneous feelings, which probably made the honest gentlemen who admired Mei's "artist" feel uncomfortable, so I didn't want to do it anymore.However, my miscellaneous feelings are printed on paper, they won't vibrate the air, I don't want to see them, and it's over if I don't turn them over. Why pretend to be neutral to deceive me.I would like my things to lie on the stalls and be bought by those who wish, but I don't want to be appreciated by honest men.People in the world probably love peonies the most, but there are also those who like Datura[7] flowers or nameless grasses. Peng Qi[8] even planted Bawangbian in teapots as bonsai.But looking at the old manuscripts, some of them are too unclear, can you copy some for me?

At this time, the wind is blowing again, almost every day, just like Beijing, but there is very little dust in it.Sometimes I also go for a walk by accident. In the mass burials, this is what Borel [9] said long ago in his book on Xiamen: the whole of China is a large cemetery.There are many inscriptions on the tombstones: some have the name of a concubine but no son; some have place names written across their heads; These things don't work because I read the book.If you ask an illiterate person who is in the grave, he will say his father; if you ask him what his name is again, he will say Zhang Er; and ask him what his own name is, he will say Zhang San.Just write it down, it will be clear.But the person who wrote the stele wanted to play with words and ink, so he became more and more confused. He didn't know that the study of "Golden and Stone Cases" [10], from the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, finally came to an end.

I'm still the same as before; but it's too quiet, and I don't want to write anything.

They should be repaired in time... from it." According to the "Twenty-one History" in the Ming Jian version (the version engraved by the Ming Dynasty Guozijian) in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty; By the time of Qianlong, there were twenty-four volumes combined with "Twenty-one History", "Old Tang Book", "Old History of the Five Dynasties", and "Ming History", which were designated as "official history" and engraved by the Hall of Martial Arts; The version engraved in the Hall of Valor.

〔5〕Zhenbei Pass near Xiamen University was built by Zheng Chenggong to defend against the Qing soldiers. The beach near the foot of the city is covered with white sand that can be used as raw material for glass. At that time, someone smuggled it to Gulangyu Island and sold it to a warehouse set up by Taiwanese , and then transferred to the glass factory in Taiwan under Japanese occupation. 〔6〕Mei Lanfang (1894-1961), named Lan, courtesy name Wanhua, was born in Taizhou, Jiangsu, and was a Peking Opera artist.
