Chapter 12 -3

"Does your idea that God is nature contradict your belief in science?" "Master, you are right. But I should tell you that there will be no contradiction. The gods in our place are not as stubborn as the Christian Gods.The meaning of God to us is just 'nature', all generated phenomena are not man-made, and are dealt with by him.He is often reasonable, tolerant, and beautiful.What a man cannot do is his own doing, and what a man can do is his doing.Man being a little wiser never hampers his power.Science can only conflict with superstition, or be hindered by superstition, or destroy superstition.The God here is not superstitious, he does not reject knowledge, and he has nothing to do with science.Science may be able to create a rainbow in the sky, but because of historical progress, human beings have become a little smarter and understand how to make a rainbow, but the value of the original non-human rainbow still exists.Man can imitate miracles, God should agree and be happy. "

"But science is destroying natural theology." "Teacher, what's the point? People are subdued by a power they don't know. The emperor's power can't go to this remote place, so everyone believes that God is in control of everything. Before science can make everyone believe in themselves , as far as they are controlled by God, when science is advanced enough to dominate the souls of all people, God will gradually hide and disappear, and we don’t need to worry about all this. But the position God occupies in human emotions, except for his domination Outside of nature, it is just an abstract thing, which is integrity, honesty and love. The first thing in science is truth, which is the inheritance drawn from divinity. No matter how advanced science is, it will not abandon integrity and love, so my god here It will exist forever and will not be destroyed.”

The people in the city obviously agreed with this theory.That God explained, but he was unwilling to fully admit what he fully agreed with.After his friend had finished speaking, he went on to say: "Sir, from another point of view, although science is a matter of seeking truth, its power of denial and destruction will have an impact on a nation based on God. , when accepting or converting, the people will be disturbed emotionally and habitually. I would like to ask you to pay attention to this point. I usually do not think much about this issue, and I seem to be doing it now. Throwing a brick to attract jade."

The master said: "Teacher, you are too polite. You understand that these empty words were only given to me when you came here. In normal times, I don't feel like wandering my mind on this theory. You mean to think that we are a little smarter. Judging from the progress of other nations, we have reached the point where we cannot believe in God, but at the same time our own ability is too weak, and we are too weak to believe in ourselves alone. The result will happen A bit of social tragedy will result in chaos in all order, and a period of uneasiness as a result. Teacher, this is certain and inevitable. But this tragedy will only happen in the city, and has nothing to do with the countryside. Prophecy is tasteless. Unreliable, but if this prophecy is based on the reason of the teacher, then we might as well predict that the apparent unity of the Chinese revolution is not optimistic. China believes in God, and a few people who have received some scientific education to make the country rich and strong come back from abroad , before being able to apply science, they first deny the rule of God, and think that changing the organization can change the belief, so the society is disintegrating, and there are constant conflicts. This kind of conflict may teach us a lesson in chaos for thirty years. This prophecy I'm bold enough to speak to you and we can see what happens from now on."

The people in the city smiled. From his friend's smile, the master could see that the prophecy was denied by the meaning of "a bit too bold assumption", so he continued the following reasoning. "Teacher, according to this prophecy, the peace in the countryside will naturally be lost one day. The wavering of the peasants is not in belief, but in economics.But this is just our little bit of prophecy, and this prophecy comes from a little dew, so we might as well return to the discussion of dew.Please pay attention to that little yellow flower over there beside the clump of white stalks, how amazing it is!Who said such a decent word: Nature does not randomly grow an extra hair on a flower.You see, it's really..." The combination of the two should have a lifespan of eighty years, but they were attracted by the color and arrangement of grass and flowers in the morning light and dew, and lingered for about ten minutes. The two had some pleasant and frank conversations while looking at the yellow flowers, and a woman's singing in the distance brought them back to "personnel affairs".

The singing is like a ray of light, fresh and happy floating in the slightly humid air, making people fascinated and moved. People in the city said: "My lord, now I can understand the reason why people in XX place make people speak beautifully, because you have everything in this place, and there is such a melodious singing voice!" The master smiled slightly, looking at the side where the singing was coming from, "Teacher, this sentence of yours should be left for those singers to hear. It is an honest sentence. But you have to be careful, because every drop of shining dew, It can wet your shoes, and it is important not to let every song poison you emotionally."

People in the city say, "I want you to tell me God's view on these matters." "Gods have no prejudices on this matter, but the sons of gods have an opinion on this matter. When the gods and witches of the XX tribe went around alone to cheer up the ghosts and gods of the people on the border, they walked across our Changling Mountain, and in the mountains But the above said two sentences: good shochu intoxicates people for three days, and good singing intoxicates them for three years. This slightly exaggerated description adds to the glory of the local area. But it is a joke, because the decent man was not drunk by singing , but fell in love with the mute."

"I would like to understand all the legends that this witch left on Wang Shanbao." So the master told his friends everything about this witch, and when they went up to Changban, they saw everything in the mine, and heard the singing of the stone workers in the mine and the sound of beating stones, and they entered soon. To that weird place, it was swallowed up by a stone cave. 8. In the chestnut forest Autumn is the season when everything is ripe.From under the eaves of houses everywhere, from the faces of farmers, from the fields, from the water, from anywhere, one can see that nature is completing all kinds of things, and the year is coming to an end, resting the world with that solemn winter.

But in the mature autumn, before the freezing cold turns the dew into hoarfrost, all things shine on people's eyes with a moving, almost charming grace.Spring smiles like a child, and autumn smiles like a loving mother.In this season, as usual, everything is extremely gorgeous and elegant, and the weather is extremely clear and dry for a long time. In the blue sky, you can often see migratory birds lined up or written in long lines in the void.There is a moon when it is late, and the moonlight often wets everything like white water;Everywhere in Kusama is filled with the sound of insects, and the sound of insects is like a report, complicated and slightly desolate.The thin dew wets people's clothes, making people feel a little melancholy in the memory of "summer is gone".In the morning and evening, the fine clouds in the sky are reflected by the sun into a thin red glow, and the leaves of the trees are coated with various colors suitable for their virtues.Under such circumstances, on the walls of the XX Fortress, one can hear the silver-painted and vermilion horns carved by XX people every day, and the clarinets made of reed leaves, echoing the singing voices of young men and women in XX. Floating on the plain embroidered with flowers, wandering in the sparse woods.

Whose handwriting should it be to decorate this wilderness with such sounds and colors?This wilderness is so gorgeous, whose idea should it be? According to the words of the owner of that side of the mine, everything in ×× is controlled by the local gods of the town, and this kind of god's disposition makes any visitor from afar have only words of praise and thanks. Everywhere where the singing was going, there were big black eyes, and the same pretty face, darkened by the sun.There is no lack of lingering melancholy everywhere, and joy and enthusiasm are overflowing everywhere.Wherever there is singing, in another season, you can find a scattered pile of dry grass, covered with wild flowers of various colors.

There is no trace when the years pass, and there is no direction when sorrow comes.In this situation, city people feel a little uneasy, which disturbs the mood of this cautious and self-respecting city people.Every day I ride a horse to various places around XX, and I am often shaken by the phenomena that can be encountered everywhere in that place. At first, I often smile because of it, and then sometimes it turns into a wry smile.What does this distant guest lack?No, people in this city don't lack anything, but when they come here, they get some undeserved and unsuitable environment, which makes them feel a little uneasy. He hadn't completely forgotten some of the things he had said to the general on Xinzhai Road, but half of what the leader of the same place said to his friends as a joke.He knew his friend's character, he was upright and respectful, and he didn't really believe that the woman from XX would disturb the mood of this distant guest, nor was he worried about how that kind of joke would affect him.A gentleman in the city usually behaves dissolutely and speaks cautiously. This kind of person usually does not talk about women.But there is another kind of person who, at a certain time, speaks freely and casually. According to that kind of stranger, it can almost be said to be a little frivolous, but this kind of person behaves cautiously and self-respectingly. Buckle gentleman. The owner of the castle of XX placed the status of his friend on the status of the latter kind of person.Precisely because he estimated that there would be no problems with the people in this city, when he met a bridle for a trip, he would always point out the places where the singing was, and tell his friends one by one with a smile that there were lights here and there. The place where the eyes meet the beating heart.Or when meeting a friend who came back from a walk on horseback alone, he would always ask the friend with a cordial and reserved air, "For those who come from the city to hunt, have you encountered any tigers worthy of your shooting?" The one in the city smiled slightly, shook his head, made a sign that he was a little more lively than usual, and also with a bit of humor, and replied to his friend: "At the side of the gemstone pit that produces gemstones, this person, as usual, Empty. For he cannot yet know which gem is better than the rest!" The village owner said, "Flowers must be irrigated with rain, and love must be cultivated with love. Here, being overly careful is not acceptable, and being overly restrained is simply a sin." "I remember the two poems you quoted on the road last time: Zhu Hua doesn't feel proud, and Bai Lu can't be sympathetic. The reason for being timid is that you haven't forgotten these two poems." "Yes, teacher, the two words Long Zhu said have drawn the outline of the soul of a woman. However, according to his opinion in another song, it has the following meaning: loving flowers is not the beauty of loving flowers , only for yourself to be young, a lover should not gain a woman's love in vain, but also give her your own youth. Love is a combination of rights and obligations. God cannot save him who looks at him from this duty. " "But gems are of five colors, who should be the best one?" "Everything you think is good, according to the rules here, you can pick it up with your hands?" "I don't know how to..." "Yes, teacher, I understand what you mean. In the city, you should decorate your woman's pride with humility and wrap your woman's body with silk. This is the city's rule. You have to abide by this rule, Only women can be obtained. But there is no need for anything here! This is a frontier place, a place where God disposes. The young women here are useless except for love and the wisdom and truth gained from love. You might as well take a risk. When you meet a beautiful face and beautiful arms, be bold and talk to her, and you will be able to hear her beautiful voice. Just don’t forget this local rule, you can’t be in front of women Lie; when she asks you, you have to answer according to what she wants to understand. After you let her know everything about you, let her also know the respect you have for her beauty. Everything will come to an end Go and set it up. Try it, sir, let those shining arms burn your eyes. Don't worry about tomorrow, take care of today. When you are in the city, I have nothing against you for the history of the past and the future You live for your hope, but here you should live for your life. A scholar only knows about tomorrow and yesterday, and I want you to understand today." People in the city laughed when they heard this kind of preaching: "This kind of game can't be done..." The village owner didn't allow his friend a chance to continue, so he hurriedly said: "Teacher, let me ask you, hunter What is a tiger? Tiger hunting is also a game! All games depend on whether you use your whole life to deal with the situation. Be loyal to your life: pay attention to the days that will never come, praise the flowers in spring, and come In autumn, let’s feel sad about the moonlight. Nothing can be fixed forever, which proves that you are a living person, that is, you can leave a little bit of your own memorable life on these small points that are not fixed, and everything else is completely useless!” Although the two discussed this matter so enthusiastically, they still treated it as a joke and did not hope that this matter would become a serious event.But at another time, there were some small problems because of this, which caused this one in the city to think a little bit.There is little prejudice in a joke, but there is no lack of some kind of truth.When the village owner's jokes were repeated over and over by the one in the city, these jokes fermented in the young people's emotions, causing a little poisoning.While hearing the singing of XX people, I often hear a call in my soul, "Scientists, you can't do it. If you can't appreciate history, you should make a little history yourself! "It should be possible for a man, knowing that he has a long solitary life to come, to suddenly determine himself in his youth, and to make an astonishing history in his own life, just for this reason. . But how is this history created?Who gave him that bit of fanaticism?Who can make him tremble at a smile?Who is good enough to occupy the noble heart of this young man from the city? "All plants and trees can only grow under the sunlight, and the love of XX people always exists in the sunlight." With a kind of expectation, the people in the city went to the turret of XX stone castle, overlooking the scenery of the wilderness.A tender song shook the man's soul, and it soon carried him out of the castle, down the hill to the chestnut grove. The location of the chestnut forest is about half a mile down the slope in front of the stone castle. Walking south along the chestnut forest, we re-enter the road that passes through the border Daling.To the east is the road to the mine.To the west is a branch of Daling, which stretches obliquely to the Changlong, about two miles away.On Longban, there are Tongcha Qizi, Wangshan, and mountain fields divided into small plots for planting sweet potatoes and millet.On the other side of the big ridge, Huang Xiao, which can be used to make paper, grows all over the ridge. It is dark green all the year round, and it turns black in the morning and evening in the fog.In the flat field in front of the castle, there is a woman in white with straw on her back, walking slowly with the family dog. This woman is singing in advance. In the mountains and fields of Longban, as well as in the Xiaoli of Daling, there are women's singing.In the chestnut forest, someone was blowing a sheep's horn, the sound was low and gentle like a sheep's cry. When people in the city came near the chestnut forest, they were attracted and moved by the sound of the ram's horn, so they walked towards the chestnut forest.The yellow sun shines through the leaves, and the fallen leaves are spread on the ground like a beautiful carpet.In the chestnut grove, a child with bare arms was leaning against an old chestnut tree, happily blowing his goat horns painted with scarlet patterns, echoing the singing from far away. It looked like a small animal that was frightened after seeing a stranger, but when the stranger smiled, it stopped the sound of the horn.People in the city said: "Xiaotongnian, you can't play badly." The child is like a mountain spirit, shaking his head slyly to strangers, without answering. The people in the city said, "Show me that." The child still didn't say anything, but just looked at the stranger. over him.It turned out that the horns were made the same as the horns used by wizards. They were exquisitely shaped and polished very smoothly. On the lower part of the horns, extremely beautiful curves and fish-shaped patterns were painted with vermilion lacquer.The end of the horn is a spring made of reed bamboo, and three small holes are chiseled on the horn compared with the previous part, so the sound it blows is more pleasant than that of an ox horn.When people in the city saw this beautiful thing, they put it in their mouths and blew a few monotones, and the children laughed when they saw it.The child shouted and laughed "Where, which, which", grabbed the goat's horn back, and blew it proudly in front of the guests.And for the sake of Longshang's singing, I changed the tune, and on that simple instrument, I covered the small hole with one hand and the bottom of the horn with the other, and cleverly played a new tune to match the singing in the distance. . one After a while, something fell from the head, startling the townspeople, and the children laughed when they saw it.It turned out that the chestnuts that fell from his head were the chestnuts that he had exploded.Seeing this, the child remembered the respect for the guests, stuffed the goat's horns into his waist, climbed up the chestnut tree in a short while, picked a lot of tender thorn balls and threw them down from the tree, and then slipped away like a little monkey. Come down, use a small stone mallet to take out the half-brown and half-white chestnuts in the prickly ball for the guests, hold the chestnuts with one hand and offer them to the guests, and bite the chestnuts, and tell the guests, "Eat this way, eat this way, you will feel like sweet-scented osmanthus. where." So people in the city sat with their children under the tree to eat the chestnuts with sweet-scented osmanthus flavor, while listening to the moving singing on Longban.After a while, I saw the child hurriedly took out the horns and blew it a few times again. Someone shouted from another place, and the child replied sharply, "Yo... here we come!" After arriving, he smiled at the guests, and the same horn Like a fleeing roe deer, it ran quickly and disappeared immediately. After the child left in the chestnut forest, it suddenly became quiet.The people in the city sat down, looked at the magical and wonderful sunlight in the woods, smiled and sighed softly. Suddenly, the singing voice of a woman nearby, like a bird that can sing, moved its clear and beautiful throat.The singing seems to be getting closer and closer. If his estimation is correct, the woman should be someone who came back to the mine from Longshang. At this time, she was looking at a shortcut through the chestnut forest. Should have walked past him. He looked at the side where the singing was overflowing.But for a moment, I saw a blue skirt and a pair of bare long legs appearing in the bushes at the end of the chestnut forest.After a while, the whole body appeared, and the people in the city saw her, and she saw the people in the city, so she stopped singing suddenly and stood still.A daughter of ×× God, a ghost, and a model!The slightly surprised expression is still the same as that of a roe deer when it sees a stranger.But this half-human, half-beast, she didn't think about running away, she hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and still walked over. People in the city stood up to block the woman's way, because they saw a bamboo basket hanging on the woman's wrist, and there were some flowers in the basket with a little purple fungus, so they obeyed the language habits of the ×× people and said: "You The moon is like a fairy, the sun is like a god, you are not a shooting star, a guest from afar, would like to know where you are coming from and where you are going, and can you stop for a while?" The girl saw the man blocking her way in front of her, wearing an unusual attire, but speaking to herself with a humble and melodious voice from a foreigner, it was a bit of a surprise, so she couldn't help being a little bit surprised, He took two steps back and looked boldly and persistently at the man in front of him with a pair of beautiful and pleasant eyes. There was a questioning expression in his eyes, as if he was saying: "Who are you? Who sent you to this place? Use this kind of language that is not suitable for your status, to talk to a country woman?" But seeing the look of the man in front of him, he suddenly seemed to understand again, and smiled with a row of white and thin teeth. Because of that kind of transparent intelligence, the people in the city became a little shy, and remembered all the things that the leader of the place said, and said the following few words in a gentle tone again. "Usually I only hear about poisonous fungi, Today I personally heard the toxic song, "… He meant to go on like this, "The poisonous fungus makes people dizzy, and the poisonous singing makes people tremble." With the typical demeanor of a young girl, the girl shook her head as a sign of denial, and then cut off his empty words with words: "Good bacteria are only steamed by moisture, who knows that tomorrow will be rainy and sunny? A good voice is nothing more than a gust of wind, and after the wind passes, the voice leaves no traces. " The people in the city remembered the parable of the wine and said: "Good shochu will intoxicate you for three days, A good singing voice should be intoxicating for three years. " Hearing this, the girl stretched out three fingers, as if she could see the meaning of three years from her fingers. Seeing that her fingers were funny, she continued casually: "He who has never seen a tiger will retreat when he sees a cat, and he who has not eaten wine People get drunk when they see bad things." When he finished speaking, he laughed.This laughter is dangerous and poisonous in front of a man. This made the people in the city feel a little bit embarrassed, as if they understood that things were going to get worse this time, they lowered their heads and got another meaning. Then he raised his head, faced the girl, and made a turn for himself: "I would like to be a sunflower forever face to face with the sun, whichever way you turn, I will turn to whichever way." one The ray of sunlight cast a magical radiance on the girl's face. The girl shook her beautiful head. After hearing this, she turned here and there, escaping to the ray of sunlight, and then stopped suddenly. After stopping, he said softly: "The windmill turns around all day long, and after the wind passes, it will keep a straight face." Said and said to himself: "Sunflowers are not easy to make, The windmill is too lively. " But everything is not so completely messed up. The girl's wit and innocence are the same things that shine in the personality. On the one hand, it checks the guest's absurd delusions about her, and on the other hand, it obeys the stranger's request. On the floating roots of the chestnut tree, I sat down very quietly.Sitting in front of strangers, she looked so natural and unfazed that it made the people in the city tremble a little in their tone of voice.After the strange man had finished speaking, he couldn't speak any more, so he drew the corners of his mouth together and made a suspicious mark to the strange guest.He said in a low voice: "A beautiful cloud never rains, and a beautiful flower never bears fruit." Seeing the stranger's silence, I thought that I didn't quite understand the meaning, so I explained: "Pleasant words make people happy, but pleasant words can't be taken seriously." People in the city made some young men's reports to a woman; this report has the flamboyance and exaggeration that XX people allow, and it is naturally very moving.He compared women to be as delicate as jade, as smart as ice, and as gentle as cotton wool.He also compared a woman's singing to a tonic, and her eyes to a blessing. The woman listened to the mixed enthusiasm and intelligence of the man from afar with a smile, but said softly: "The gorgeous empty words of the guest's mouth, the gorgeous empty words of the leopard Flowers; on the one hand, it makes people recognize your beauty, and on the other hand, it makes people suspect that you are a little tricky." At the end, he nodded his head again, as if to say: "I understand, I understand everything, I don't believe it!" This kind of situation stirred the blood of the people in the city. After thinking for a while, he looked up at the sky and at To the ground, there is something to say.He defended that magnificence: "If magnificence is a sin, there should be no colorful rainbows in the sky; there should be no green grass embroidered with yellow flowers; there should be no pale stars embedded in the blue sky!" The girl shook her head uninterruptedly, expressing her dissent.That beautiful and delicate head, on the slender neck, twisted like a lily on its flower stalk. "Who has ever seen an eternal rainbow in the sky? Ask Xingzi Xingzi will not admit it. How many worms and birds I have heard, There are enough lies and I don't believe them all. " City People said: "If there were neither sun nor rain in heaven, Five rainbows will naturally not grow in front of your eyes, If I see your eyes and arms, Words of praise will always be on my lips. " The girl said in a low voice, "Oh, it's always by my mouth, but it's always by my mouth!" After she finished speaking, she looked at the strange guest in front of her again, and saw that the guest didn't notice this sentence, so she put her finger on it. Bending down and counting, while counting, he said: "The sun is about to set, the flowers are about to wither, and the face and mouth are easy to dry up." Made's beautiful arms spread out, and with an unusually graceful demeanor, she smiled at the stranger, ended her opinion, and said the following words: "I understand that everything is impermanent, everything is uncertain, and who is willing to listen seriously to the lies of impermanence?" one A bee took a straight line and flew over their heads from west to east, but then flew back, circled around the girl's head for a while, and stopped on the flowers in the bamboo basket beside it.The bee helps the imagination of the people in the city. "Because everything is impermanent, everything is becoming and everything is about to perish. one A woman's beauty is best preserved in the memory of her friends. Regardless of yellow flowers and vermilion flowers, never refuse the bee's approach, Regardless of strangers or acquaintances, men's respect should not be rejected. " The girl said: "The flowers are smeared with honey to make the bees happy, Putting honey on words to make women happy: It's a pity-- The green bamboo behind the big house has no heart, It will not be sunny in Huangmei in April. " People in the city quoted some golden sayings of Long Zhu, some lyrics of wizards, and many idioms of xx people heard from the head of the land, and explained all his respect for her from the sky and the underground river. , this kind of moving statement, but only got the following echoes. "The spinach tree grows as green as the fields, At this time, if you have a mind, you will lose your mind after a while. " After speaking, when the stranger bowed his head to think about the answering words, the girl stood up, hung the basket on her wrist, and shot lightly and quickly towards the chestnut forest like an arrow. It disappeared after a while. People in the city were completely crazy when they saw the direction the girl was going.But he smiled when he arrived. He had seen countless shining stars and countless shining gems, but today he saw a shining soul.At first he sat on the fallen leaves in the chestnut grove soaked in the bright sunlight, and then he sat on the dry and creaking leaves. "Domestic birds don't fly very far," the words made him sink into deep thoughts. 9. Day and Night The person who came here from the city gave him a kind of introspection stimulation for the gods spoken by the master of Wangshan Castle and the people he saw in the chestnut forest. The pulse of the city was obviously affected by the extreme big impact.Everything strange on this frontier is shaking his soul powerfully.Even this kind of quietness and peace, because it can give people many opportunities, the same kind of leisure that seems to be too much, let people think about themselves, it can also be said that this kind of quietness is extremely scary.The mountains on the border are magnificent and silent, and all human beings live in accordance with the order that has been arranged for a long time.The sun warms everything, and the rain and snow cover everything. Everyone is upright and peaceful. They always try their best to help their neighbors and acquaintances, and they always only see them smiling at each other.From this good habit that everything is a kind of morality, the hearts of young men and women are bred with immeasurable enthusiasm and wisdom. This enthusiasm and wisdom make everyone's emotions and words as beautiful as brocade and as clear as water.Goodness is a natural endeavor, hypocrisy has no place here.The people have grown up in a simple life, but they do not lack all kinds of noble virtues of human beings. Therefore, people in the city often think that: if everything here is very good and right, then in many other places, Is there something wrong?Naturally, this kind of thinking is fruitless, because people in the city come to exaggerate the virtues of primitive tribal people's life, and it still becomes a kind of prejudice! After arriving here, it is necessary to temporarily forget about the city.Forget that kind of life, that kind of habit, that kind of morality, but this city dweller, after forgetting everything, can't forget a good friend who lives in the city.The friend was a botanist, and had developed a great interest in such questions as natural religious history and ritual.Before the people in this city came to the place of ××, they heard that the general, who was superior in knowledge and morality, talked about many poisonous plants, as well as the attitude of believing in gods in the place of ××, and the witches who are the mediators between gods and humans. There were various ceremonies, so in a little free time, he wrote a long letter to tell his friend all kinds of situations.In this letter, many trivial things were described, and even the adventure that happened in the chestnut forest a few days ago was mentioned.The latter part of the letter said: ...Old friend, we should admit that when we were together in the corner of the office in that government, our daily lives were dominated by affairs and responsibilities; what we saw were countless Specimens, countless tables, some numbers, a pile of history.On the faces of our group of colleagues, we may occasionally find a smile, but what is that?That smile is really miserable and tasteless, and that smile only expresses the sense of boredom and emptiness that every living person feels when he is too tired from business.In that case, we naturally also become a table, and a small number.But this place is full of life, life is everywhere, and this life overflows every solitary corner and floods every heart.Everything is always quiet, but it only takes one person to sing a little, and the singing will give birth to invisible wings and fly everywhere. Wherever the singing goes, there will be brilliance and happiness.When I got here, I realized that I am a living person, and I understand all kinds of things that are always confused in many books. My friend, my report is, of course, brief and sloppy, because, if I am allowed to speak clearly, such an account would not suffice without thirty pages of letter paper.The master of Wang Shanbao said it well, according to his meaning, words cannot be properly flattered to everything created by gods ruled by gods.Where I live now, every stone, every stalk of grass, every sound does not allow me to look for words that match their virtues.Let me see it slowly, let us wait and talk later. I live here, please don't worry about me, because before my future, we were worried about all the customs and legends here, but this anxiety can be said to be a completely useless worry.Please also tell some of my best colleagues for me, it may be said that I am living in an imaginary Taoyuan. I have seen that mine with the boss.This is an old mine, and it was probably mined around the time of the birth of Jesus.Judging from the general trend of the strata, the amount of buried underground is still very considerable.However, they all use an earthen mining method, which is slow and very costly. This method made me laugh when I first saw it. This method, when the emperors of the Han Dynasty believed that alchemists needed cinnabar mercury, they must have known to use it. .Their expenditure really astonished me.However, I should tell my old friend here that this place consumes ore, but never consumes life.They understand the value of life better than we do, and live better than we do.Their bodies are very healthy, and their souls are all very healthy.In terms of wisdom, for example, their interpretation of life and the meaning of life seem to be a little bit wiser than our philosophers. ………… This is quite a confession of surrender!Part of the reason why people in this city fall in love so much is because of what they have seen and seen, and part of the reason is that the chief executive who is above all others represents the complete development of wisdom and morality in XX. Over the past few days, the local environment of XX has conquered the people in this city, but because of his words, the other person has also changed the concept of people in the city. After they saw the mine for the first time that time, they visited many miners' homes for a while.Finally, after talking on the barren rock pile for a long time, I rode an animal, detoured a little mountain road from the foot of the big ridge, and walked through the woods behind Wangshan Castle.Under Daling, they visited the local paper factory and admired various ancient trees with historical marks in the woods.When the two rested on the big bluestone slab under a huge fir tree, the master of Wangshan Castle, for his friend, talked about the history of this forest and the castle, and at the same time pointed out in detail the at the road.As a native of the city, he was familiar with all the places around the fort soon after he arrived. But in the mine he encountered a new thing. The market near the mine is very impressive. Every one or six days, people from small villages within 25 miles of the border gather here to do all kinds of business.On that day, people came very early, and from here you can see all kinds of goods and get to know all kinds of people. Those who came to the market included hunters who lived on hunting, tree fellers with unusually thick hands, grain merchants who came from the city with buckles on their shoulders, and cows wearing calfskin pants. There are sheep merchants, butchers with bold and broad faces, entertainers who play with dogs and knives, and there are piglets tied around the neck with straw ropes, but they wear silver collars and bracelets around their necks and wrists. A woman, there is a small landlord who rides a small smoke-colored mare with a copper bell hanging under the horse's collar, and rides into the street on the horse. 总之各样有所买卖的人，到了时候莫不来此，混在一个大坪里，各作自己所当作的事情。到了时候，这里就成为一个畜生与人拥挤扰攘混杂不分的地方，一切是那么纷乱，却有一种鲜明的个性，留在一个异乡人印象上。 场坪内作生意的，皆互相大声吵闹着，争论着，急剧的交换到一种以神为凭的咒语。卖小猪的商人，从大竹笼里，拉了小猪耳朵，或提起小猪两只后脚，向他的主顾用边境口音大声讨论到价钱，小猪便锐声叫着，似乎有意混淆到这种不利于己的讨论。卖米的田主太太，包了白色首帕，站到篱前看经纪过斗。卖鸡的妇人，多蹲到地上，用草绳兜了母鸡公鸡，如卖儿卖女一样，在一个极小的价钱上常常有所争持，做出十分生气的神气。卖牛的卖去以后皆把头上缠一红布。牲畜场上经纪人，皆在肚前挂上极大的麂羊皮抱兜，成束的票据，成封的银元，皆尽自向抱兜里塞去。忙到各处走动，忙到用口说话，忙到用手作势，在一种不可形容的忙碌里处置一切。在成交以后，大家就喘着，嚷着，大笑着，向卖烧酒的棚子里走去，一面在那地方交钱，一面就在那里喝酒。 场坪中任何一处，还可以见到出色的农庄年青姑娘们，生长得苗条洁白，秀目小口，两乳高肿，穿了新浆洗过的浅色土布衣裳，背了黔中苗人用极细篾丝织成的竹笼，从这里小商人摊上，购买水粉同头绳，又从那里另一个小摊上，购取小剪刀同别的东西。 one 切一切皆如同一幅新感觉派的动人的彩色图画，由无数小点儿，无数长片儿，聚集综合而成，是那么复杂，那么眩目，同时却又仍然那么和谐一致，不可思议。 还有一个古怪处所，为了那些猎户，那些矿工，那些带耳环的苗人，以及一些特殊人们而预备的，就是为了决斗留下的一个空坪。 ××地方照边境一地之长的堡上总爷说来，似乎是从无流血事情的。但这个总爷，当时却忘记告给他朋友这一件事了。堡内外农民，有家眷的矿工，以及伐竹制纸工人，多数是和平无争的。但矿地从各处飘流而来的独身工人，大岭上的猎户，各苗乡的强悍苗人，却因了他们的勇敢、真实以及男性的刚强，常常容易发生争斗。横亘边境一带大岭上的猎户，性格尤其不同平常，一个男子生下来就似乎只有两件事情可作，一是去深山中打猎，二是来场集上打架。当打猎时节，这些人带了火枪、地网、长矛子、解首刀、绳索、竹弩以及分量适当的药物同饮食，离了家中向更深的山里走去，一去就十天八天，若打得了虎豹，同时也死去同伴时，就把死去的同伴掘坑埋好，却扛了死虎死豹还家。另一时，这些人又下了大岭来到这五日一集的场上，把所得到的兽皮同大蛇皮卖给那些由城里赶来收买山货的商人。仍然也是叫嚷同无数的发誓，才可以把交易说好。交易作成以后，得到了钱，于是这些人，一同跑到可以喝一杯的地方去，各据了桌子的一角，尽量把酒喝够了，再到一个在场头和驻军保护下设立的赌博摊上去，很迈豪也极公正的同人来开始赌博。再后一时，这些豪杰的钱，照例就从自己的荷包里，转移到那些穿了风浆硬朗衣服，把钱紧紧的捏着，行为十分谨慎的乡下人手上去了。等到把钱输光以后，一切事都似乎业已作过，凭了一点点酒兴，一点点由于赌博而来的愤怒，使每一个人皆在心上有一个小小火把，无论触着什么皆可燃烧。猎户既多数是那么情形，单身工人中不乏身强力大嗜酒心躁的分子，苗人中则多有部落的世仇，因此在矿山场坪外，牛场与杂牲畜交易场后面，便不得不转为这些人预备下一片空地，这空地上，每一场也照例要发生一两次流血战争了。 这战争在此是极合理的，同时又实在极公正的。猎户的刀无时不随身带上，工人多有锤子同铁凿，苗人每一只裹腿上常常就插有一把小匕首。有时这流血的事为两种生活不同的人，为了求得其平，各人放下自己的东西，还可以借用酒馆中特为备妥分量相等的武器，或是两把刀，或是两条扁担。
