Chapter 70 Won Sang Keun Suk

Yuan Xiang and Gen Shuo, two people from Shan County in Kuaiji, were hunting. They passed through many deep mountains and mountains. They saw a herd of six or seven goats and chased them.After passing a stone bridge, it is very narrow and steep.The sheep go, and the roots and others also cross to the cliff.The cliff is red, and the wall stands, which is called Chicheng.There is water flowing down, wide and narrow like a piece of cloth.Yan people call it a waterfall.There are mountain caves like doors in the sheep path, which can be passed by suddenly.After entering, the interior is very open, and the vegetation is fragrant.There is a hut in which two girls live, both fifteen or sixteen years old, very beautiful, and dressed in green clothes.One is Yingzhu and the other is □□.Seeing the arrival of the two, he said happily, "I hope you will come early." So he became the family.Suddenly the two daughters went out, and Yun Fu had a son-in-law, so they went to celebrate.Dragging your shoes up the cliff, it's like a breeze.The two of them wanted to return, and dived to return.The second daughter chased it back and knew it, but said: "You can go by yourself." She used a wrist bag and roots, etc., and said: "Be careful not to open it." So she returned.After going out, the family opened their eyes.The sac is like a lotus flower, once it is lifted, it is repeated, until it reaches five covers, there is a small blue bird in it, and it flies away.The root also knows this, but it's a pity.The back roots are plowed in the fields, and the family is paid by ordinary wages. If they see that they are not moving in the fields, they will look at them, but they have shells like cicadas.

①Shan County: Set up in the Western Han Dynasty, now Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province, named after the Shan River, belonged to Kuaiji County at that time. This article is selected from "The Postscript of Searching Gods". This is a story of entering the fairy cave, enhanced and polished by the same narrative motif. "Hanzi", the second volume of "Biography of Liexian", said that Hanzi followed the dog into the mountains, and he had to meet the guards of the immortals.When encountering fairies, it is as early as "Dongting Mountain" in Volume 10 of "Supplementary Notes".This article may be influenced by the above story. It is about a hunter chasing sheep in the deep mountains and mountains, and encounters Erba Shuli in a fairyland by chance.There are more similar legends in the Southern Dynasties, such as "Huang Yuan" and "Liu Chen Ruan Zhao" in "You Ming Lu"."Pianpian" in the Qing Dynasty also followed this motif.The story mode is mostly to set up characters with special identities, such as herb pickers and hunters, in short, they go in and out of inaccessible places, and because of getting lost, they are introduced by sheep, dogs, flow cups, lamps and candles, etc., and the people they meet are often self-recommended pillow mats Afterwards, things turned and the stars changed, expressing the feeling that "seven days in the cave, thousands of years have passed in the world", the world is like a dream, and the fleeting emotion, with the sense of loss of life, aging, sickness and death in the world, contrasts the extraordinary nature of immortality, thus It uniquely expresses a kind of expectation that transcends the limitations of life in the world, and its endless reunion with fairies reflects the playfulness and desire for superhuman love.

The article "Yuan Xianggenshuo" is not the best work among similar themes, but the same book is a famous article through the ages.Both paradises are set up with mysterious secrets. "Yuan Xianggenshuo" uses the cliffs of Chicheng as a screen and the water curtain waterfall as a barrier, which is more majestic and beautiful; it is accompanied by peach blossom pavement and streams, which is more feminine.Entering from the mountain pass, the fishermen see the land is flat and open, and the houses are like houses. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo. Hospitality for fishermen.The beauty of the style and the honesty of the characters are incomparable, which contrasts the anxiety of the people of the time "the ancestors avoided the Qin Dynasty, and led their wives to this desperate situation" for the world's chaos and their desire for the perfect and beautiful paradise on earth.In contrast, "Yuan Xianggenshuo" describes the environment in the cave, only one sentence "the inside is very flat, the grass and trees are fragrant", and only "a small house" is set up. Isn't it desolate and simple for fairies to live here?The phrase "I hope you will come early" shows the pain of waiting. "So it's a house family", can't help but act too hastily.The second daughter went out to celebrate the "recovery of a son-in-law", making people feel that the fairy of the daughter country is like an old girl who can't get married, isn't it also sad?Yuan Xiang and Gen Shuo sneak back, and the two daughters don't know about it, and they give each other gifts. The secrets of Xianshu are hidden in a bag that is not allowed to be opened, but only a blue bird flies away when it is opened.So people fall into thinking in this loss and recovery, gain and loss: the rooted soul that sloughed off from the cicada, did it go away as a blue bird?Or do you want to find the immortal mansion again and not enjoy the peace?Or because of the resentment of family members for opening their wrists?The story ends abruptly, leaving an aftertaste.However, there was no account of Yuan Xiang's whereabouts, which ultimately left people with incomplete regret.
