Chapter 5 hard work

——Bibi Xiaoxing, three or five in the east Bubi Xiaoxing, three or five are in the east.Su Su Xiao Zheng, Su Ye is in the public.Life is different! He is a little star, and Wei participates in Pleiades.Su Su Xiao Zheng, holding a quilt and a quilt.My life will not last. ——"Zhaonan·Little Star" (superior) Since the little girl left me alone and bravely drove this antique car out to show off in the city, thanks to readers and adults, I didn’t get many rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs. From time to time, some people expressed a little surprise and doubt to me—— —How can you understand something so ancient?You must know that it is not easy to recognize all the characters on it.

I admit that there are more new words.I was always stunned when I read it, ah, this word still has the meaning of this pronunciation.However, it is as difficult as it is difficult, but it is definitely not the reason why people with such a high IQ are now discouraged.In fact, don’t worry about those characters you don’t know or read, just treat them as dialects. Anyway, many characters are hard to find in the dictionary, and you don’t need to use them in normal speech.Just like Cantonese, listening and speaking is OK. There are some characters that Cantonese can’t write by themselves. Not to mention looking too mysterious and difficult.In fact, it is far less powerful than modern people relying on horses and thousands of words when they have nothing to say. Like "Daya·Shengminzhi", a mighty long poem written from legends to trace the achievements of ancestors and the morality of today's people is only a few hundred words. For modern people to write, at least 10,000 words or more are required, and the words do not convey the meaning.Another one, I think the key to knowing and not knowing is a matter of mentality.Let me tell you the truth, when I memorize English words, I just memorize one and forget the other, and the grammar is even more confusing, but no matter how difficult the scriptures are, I can read them and remember them.Because I always feel that the grammar of English is opposite to that of Chinese, and I subconsciously fear and resist.This shows that it has nothing to do with IQ.

In my heart, it is like a flower on the other side, even if it cannot be picked, it will always survive in my heart. In fact, it is just a folk song, not as distant and inaccessible as imagined.It's just that when we crossed the river, we silently left it in another era. When you turned around to look for it, it had already submerged in the river.So you gradually get used to singing "The little mouse went to the lampstand, stole the oil to eat, and couldn't get down." Instead of "The big mouse, the big mouse, there is no food for me." Look for it with the elegance of poetry, look at it with the depth of the scriptures, it may be the voice that sounded in our hearts in the previous life in the previous life.The songs we used to sing together.

The three hundred poems are just the innocent memory of the previous life. In the past, I was very suspicious of the old Chinese private school education method. The teacher didn't give much explanation for a text, but kept asking the students to shake their heads and read to death.Later, I gradually realized its benefits, which is that it does not make people feel dependent.Especially for words like ancient prose, which are both meaningful and unspeakable, once explained, they are as horrible as a dried corpse.If the teacher tells everything, the students will have no room for thinking.

For example, the word "嘒小星" in "嘒小星" (read Huiyin) means shimmering light, and the meaning of bright stars. "Shuowen" explains it more vividly, saying it means speaking in a low voice, that is, the shining little star blinks its eyes from time to time, as if whispering in a low voice.Only when you understand it can you get close, and you can imagine its artistic conception. What you see is not only the text itself, but also a real touch like a light touch on the tip of the nose.Of course, if you just want to know its pronunciation, it is another matter to show off as knowledge.

Today, instead of digging into political history, or talking about emotional principles, we will talk about social and people's livelihood topics from "Zhaonan·Little Star". "Little Star" is a humble official who sighs injustice to his fate of running around day and night. On a quiet night, when thousands of households are sleeping, the little official who is busy with the king's affairs walks alone at night, accompanied by only the stars in the sky.When the little official first woke up, his eyes were sleepy, and he could only see stars in the sky, but he couldn't tell what they were.So at the beginning of the poem, he only said, "Baby little star, three or five is in the east." When he gradually regained consciousness, he realized that it was Sanxing and Pleiades.He thought of himself, leaving his wife, throwing away the incense quilt and warm blanket, although he was following the king's order and did not dare to slack off, but when he thought about it carefully, some people died in bed, and some people stopped the night march.If you don't comfort yourself with the fact that different people have different fates, I really don't know how to relieve my depression.

"Xiaoxing" also has a beautiful hidden meaning - concubine.Such beautiful misunderstandings are often conjectured by a group of poets in ancient times. They thought that ""Little Star" will benefit the next. The wife has no jealousy, benefits the concubine, and enters the emperor. Knowing that his life is high or low, he can do his best." It’s in your heart.” The views of utter rotten Confucianism make people helpless, so they can only forgive them under the excuse of the limitations of the thinking of the times, so as not to anger themselves.Fortunately, this strange theory was not widely recognized in ancient times.

Li Shangyin's poem "For You" says: "Because of You Yunping's infinite beauty, Fengcheng is cold and afraid of the spring night. Marrying for no reason and getting a wealthy son-in-law, I will live up to the fragrant quilt and the early court."Some people say that the poetic flavor evolved from "Poetry: Crowing of Chickens", "Insects fly away, sweetness and son share dreams", and others say that Li Poetry developed from "Little Star" "Hold the quilt and the sack, and the fate is not endless". Come, you can.From the perspective of family members, the wife complains that her husband does not sleep together, which is called letting down the quilt;It can be seen that Li Shangyin obviously also believed that "Little Star" was a poem about the self-injury and suffering of a small official.

Small officials are not much better than ordinary people, they are just a kind of people, like flowers in a flower pond, they just come out of joints.Since ancient times, "people" has been a powerful and humble concept. It is said that it is powerful because the people have taken on the dynasties one after another, established them and destroyed them without hesitation. The real implementers of history are not chosen by time to stand in the limelight. The heroes at the top of the wave are the people; they are humble because in the past China, the people did not even have the concept of independence, and they were often called "the small people who are struggling with life". Strategies for survival are as worthless as rice grains dropped on the ground in a rice shop.The people are too inclusive: slaves, free people, petty officials, and even officials can all be called people to some extent.If you look at it from a different dynasty, the descendants of the previous dynasty are just the people in the eyes of the new ruler.

Most of the year's harvest is handed in, and the rest is not enough to support the family.This kind of encounter is compared to free people. If it is a slave girl, it is even more humble. There is no so-called personal freedom and personal value, which is equivalent to a dowry of goods.Ancient Greece was even more outrageous. As long as the slave owners negotiated, there was nothing that could not be exchanged for slaves, such as salt. Fortunately, personal self-esteem will help people to actively ignore these things and build a relatively strong self-protection mechanism in their hearts.This psychological barrier is not easy to be removed until people are desperate and have a mental breakdown. People always have more self-esteem than self-abandonment.Even if they keep claiming that the small people deserve to die, no one really thinks that they are small people, and they are willing to live three points lower than others.Or simply resign to fate like a slave.

Surrendering to fate, thinking that it is God's arrangement, is not only a sign of cowardice, but also a kind of self-preservation consciousness of human beings. Doctor Shi can exchange one or several concubines with a horse or a piece of silk.The alluring color like the green pearl is worth only three Dendrobium pearls.Now for any woman, even if you hold a sack of pearls, it is impossible to exchange her with your body forever, let alone want her to die for you. As for male slaves, their status was even more humble.Bailixi, a senior official of Qin Mugong, was a descendant of a famous family and a famous official of a generation, but the value of this official was very low, only worth five sheepskins, because he was once a slave. Bailixi's life experience is really "a child without a mother, it's a long story", and it can be traced back to the beginning of Zhou Dynasty.The descendants of Yu Zhong, the second son of Yu Zhong, the second son of Zhou Taiwang Gugong Danfu, who was granted by King Wu of Zhou, are in Yu State (in the north of Pinglu County, Shanxi today).In the Spring and Autumn Period, Yu Zhong had a descendant named Xi, who was also called Baili Xi because he lived in Baili Township, and he served as a doctor in Yu State.In 655 BC, the State of Yu was destroyed by the State of Jin, and both Baili Xi and Lord Yu became prisoners of the State of Jin and became slaves.At this time, Qin Mugong asked Jin Xiangong to marry him, and Jin Xiangong married his daughter to him, and at the same time sent Baili Xi to Qin as one of the dowry servants.Unwilling to be a slave, Baili Xi ran away halfway, but was captured by the Chu people soon and became a slave of the Chu State.Duke Mu of Qin is an ambitious monarch who has been paying attention to recruiting talents. After hearing that Bailixi is a talented person, he is determined to chase him back.He was afraid that using a large amount of money to redeem Bailixi would cause Chu to pay more attention to Bailixi, so he used five sheepskins to redeem him as a fugitive slave according to the slave's value at that time.After talking with Bailixi, Duke Mu of Qin praised him greatly, made him a doctor, and consulted him on national policies at any time. It seems that it is indeed better to be an official, so as to get rid of the status of a small citizen, and this body is farther away from a slave.However, there are fundamental differences in being an official, whether you are an official with real power or an official without power, whether you are an official who handles affairs or an official who is in charge of affairs, and whether you are a corrupt official or an honest official. The poem "Bei Shan" says: "Either swallows and swallows live in rest, or serve the country with all their might; Palm;..." It can be seen that the same "king minister" and the same "duty" have different jobs and different experiences. A non-revolutionary person like me has no intention of condemning anything. Some things, if you condemn yours, they exist in others. Like Koizumi, if you condemn him again, won’t he still be the same?The same is true of social reality, and condemnation cannot replace reality.The reality from ancient times to the present is that the lower the position, the lower the benefits, and the easier it is to become a victim of officialdom strife.When something happens to the superiors, they are often used as a scapegoat for the first time. Strictly speaking, petty officials are not officials, such as county magistrates and masters, etc., are not naturalized by the court, even if they go to prostitutes, the court's official laws will not control them.Although Jiao Zhongqing is a promising person in the eyes of his mother, he has a bright future.In fact, there are so many people like him in the huge bureaucratic system, he is not a star of hope at all.Even if you spend your whole life, you may just be a low-level official. It is not easy to be an official and to be a petty official. It is not easy to be able to be "proficient in swords and pens and proficient in official ways" like Song Jiang in the movie.This requires that the acting skills of flattering the superiors and threatening and scolding the inferiors must be very proficient in order to be able to enjoy it.This guy Song Jiang has a deep scheming mind, and he went to Liangshan by relying on his experience as a small official to deceive people's hearts, and slowly emptied Chao Gai to gain real power.But such successful examples are extremely rare. (middle) Judging from the phenomenon reflected in the Book of Songs, the welfare of public officials in ancient times was even more problematic than it is now.Not only "Zhaonan·Little Star", but "Yefeng·Beimen" is also a small official with a humble position and heavy responsibilities, who is in a difficult situation and has nowhere to tell, complaining about his busy work and difficult life. Coming out of the north gate, full of worries.I am poor all the time, I don't know how difficult it is.Already Yanzai!It's true, what is it called! The king's affairs suit me, and the political affairs benefit me.I enter from the outside, and the people in the room hand over to me.Already Yanzai!It's true, what is it called! The king obeys me, and the political affairs leave me alone.I go in from the outside, and people in the room destroy me.Already Yanzai!It's true, what is it called! I went out of the city by the north gate, and my heart was very sad.Distressed and poor, no one knows how hard it is for me.Forget it, it's all arranged by God, what can I do! I was assigned errands by the Wang family, and the official duties of the yamen also increased.When I came home from outside, my family scolded me one after another.Forget it, it's all arranged by God, what can I do! The Wang family's errands forced me, and the yamen's official affairs were also dispatched.When I came home from outside, my family ridiculed me one after another.Forget it, it's all arranged by God, what good idea do I have! The little official who was more difficult than "Little Star" appeared. He also has a humble position and a heavy responsibility. What may be worse is that because of his low income, he cannot satisfy his family. ridicule.No matter how busy and tired he is, no one will have expectations of him, so if he throws away his quilt, he may sleep separately.It's comforting to be rejected by outsiders, and ridiculed by family members, how embarrassing it is! Although this poem is ancient, what it says is not far away and has practical significance.There are too many people like this in every city. With meager wages, they work from dawn to dusk, and when they reach middle age, their careers do not improve, and they cannot afford houses or cars.The savings from hard work are not even enough to support their children to study abroad.The relationship with his wife has also entered a freezing period, the relationship has become a family relationship, love has become a habit, and even sex is entertainment.There are no more caring words to each other, only accusations, resentment, and mutual complaints are left.Life peels off its sweetness day after day, revealing its hideous and broken truth. Few people don’t dislike the poor and love the rich. The rich and the poor are undoubtedly an important criterion for the success of a person in the world. There is nothing wrong with some love and hatred; but for a woman, if you only use this to measure the success of your husband, it is superficial And stupid.Because you have never regarded him as a relative who can be relied on and help each other in times of trouble, but only a prescription to improve the situation. He is the prescription. You are obviously a patient who has been sick and regrets that the disease has never been good. Unsatisfactory career is a big ups and downs in life, like a long-term ulcer wound on the stomach wall, which is especially fatal to men.If there is warmth and comfort from family members, the wound will heal faster, and even if it is not good, the pain will be less.And as a wife, you don't have to torment yourself day by day in the regret that you don't have a front and rear eyes.Husband and wife should be frank animals that can lick each other's wounds, and support each other to get out of suffering. (Down) There is another poem in the Book of Songs about hard work, which impressed me deeply. It is "Zhaonan·Yin Qilei"—— Yin Qilei, in the sun of Nanshan.He Si violated Si, dare not say anything?Vibrant gentleman, come home, come home! Yin Qilei is on the side of Nanshan Mountain.He Si violated Si, dare not hold back?Vibrant gentleman, come home, come home! Yin Qilei, under Nanshan Mountain.Why is it against Si, why not?Vibrant gentleman, come home, come home! I was very moved when I read "Yin Qilei", as if the thunder of Nanshan was ringing in my ears, and the woman sighed when the wind and rain were approaching—why did she run away from home at this time?The burden of the king's affairs prevents you from resting for a while, my diligent and promising gentleman, come back soon, come back! Missing, such as this endless thunder.Many years later, a woman sang in the moonlight: "Under the moon, when I think of him, I weep silently...the him in my heart, come back soon!" I don't know the fatal connection between this song and the distant poetry, but when I saw the words "Guizai, Guizai!" for the first time, I couldn't help but think of this song. I saw that in another space, thousands of years of time were frozen, and the longing was so heavy that time couldn't bear it. This kind of transparent state of mind seems that I am the person who was on the long-distance service. Looking back at the stars like a dream, I know that there is someone behind me. I understand that person's thoughts, and she wants me to return home as soon as possible.Why don't I want to, I just can't help myself. Maybe in my previous life, I have watched over someone like this, and I have also been watched over by someone. "Yin Qilei" is similar but different from "Little Star". It also says that the work is very hard and the responsibility is heavy. The wife misses the husband who is on the job, but there is no smell of resentment. It is a hymn , the "she" who calls her husband to come and return is completely different from the family of the small official in "North Gate".Perhaps because the man mentioned in this poem is a "gentleman" rather than a petty official, his status is relatively noble.Therefore, even his relatives became aware of the righteousness—"The doctor who summoned the south went far to attack, and he did not hesitate to go to the place. His family and his family can encourage him to work hard, and persuade him to be righteous." I believe that there are levels of people's awareness, but the level of awareness is not the reason for my emotion.What I admire is the mutual understanding expressed in "Yin Qilei", the emotional way without complaints.God knows how important this is in the age of emotional scarcity! Sometimes I like to sit alone and think quietly, but most of the time I would like to communicate with the people around me, and don't talk about my feelings with each other.What a person does and how he lives is not important, the most important thing is that someone cares.If you are down and down, people around you still care about you, which proves that you are poor but not poor, and you still have the power to turn around.This kind of spare power is called the aspiration of the people among the emperors and generals, and it is called family affection and friendship among ordinary people.
