Chapter 2 Lishui

one At this time, it was "the soup and the flood are cut, and the vast mountains are full of mountains and mausoleums"; the people of Lord Shun (2) (3) are not all crowded on the top of the mountain above the water, some are tied to the top of the tree, and some are tied to the top of the tree. Sitting on wooden rafts, some of which have small wooden sheds, look very poetic from the shore. The news in the distant place was uploaded from the wooden raft.Everyone finally knew that Mr. Gun had not had any effect because he had treated the water for nine whole years. The dragon above was furious and exiled him to Yushan. It seems that his son, Young Master Wenming, took over. (4) His baby name is Ah Yu. (5) The famine has been going on for a long time, the university has been disbanded long ago, and there is no place to open a kindergarten, so the people are a little chaotic.Only on the Wenhua Mountain (6) are there still many scholars gathered. Their food is all transported by flying car from the Qiji Kingdom (7), so they are not afraid of shortages, so they can also study knowledge.However, most of them were opposed to Yu, or simply did not believe that there really was such a Yu in the world.

Once a month, as usual, there will be a rustling sound in the air, and the sound will become louder and louder. The speeding car can be seen clearly, and a flag with a yellow circle drawn on it is shining brightly.Just hang a few baskets five feet above the ground. Others don't know what's in them, they can only hear the upper and lower talking: "Ancient-looking forest!" (8) "Guru is a few miles away..." "O.K!" (10) The flying car flew towards the Qiji Kingdom, there was no more sound in the sky, and the scholars were also quiet, it was everyone eating.The water waves around the unique mountain, bumping into the stones, can't stop surging.After waking up in the afternoon, I am full of energy, so the theory will overwhelm the sound of the waves.

"Yu came to control the water, and he must have failed, if he was Gun's son," said a scholar with a stick. "I once collected the genealogies of many princes, ministers and wealthy families. After a lot of research, I came to a conclusion: the descendants of rich people are rich people, and the descendants of bad people are bad people—this is called 'inheritance' Therefore, if Gun does not succeed, his son Yu will certainly not succeed, because a fool cannot give birth to a wise man!" "O.K!" said a scholar without a stick. "But you have to think about our Supreme Emperor (11)," said another scholar who didn't hold a stick.

"Although he was a little 'stubborn' before, he has changed for the better now. If he is a fool, he will never change..." "O.K!" "These are all nonsense," another scholar stammered, immediately turning the tip of his nose red. "You were deceived by rumors. In fact, there is no such thing as Yu. 'Yu' is a worm. Can worms control water? I don't think there is one in Gun. 'Gun' is a fish. Fish and fish can control water. Is it right?" When he said this, he kicked his feet very hard. "But Gun did exist. Seven years ago, I saw him go to the foot of Kunlun Mountain to enjoy plum blossoms."

"Then, his name is wrong. His name is probably not 'Gun', but his name should be 'Ren'! As for Yu, he must be a worm. I have many evidences to prove his non-existence. Call everyone Come to the public review..." So he bravely stood up, took out a sharpener, scraped off the bark of five large pine trees, made a slurry with the leftover bread crumbs and water, mixed charcoal powder, and wrote on the trees with small tadpole characters. It took thirty-nine twenty-seven days to obliterate A Yu's textual research.But anyone who wants to see it has to take out ten young elm leaves, and if they live on a wooden raft, they will be given a shell of fresh sphagnum moss instead.

Anyway, there is water everywhere, you can't hunt, you can't plant land, as long as you are alive, all you have is idle time, and there are quite a few people who come to see it.Crowded under the pine tree for three days, there were sighs everywhere, some were admiration, some were Pilao.But at noon on the fourth day, a countryman finally spoke while the scholar was eating fried noodles. "Among people, there is someone named A Yu," said the countryman. "Besides, 'Yu' is not a worm. It's the simple Chinese characters of our countrymen. The gentlemen all write 'Yu'. (12) is a big monkey..."

"Is there anyone called a big monkey?" The scholar jumped up, quickly swallowed a mouthful of noodles, his nose was so red that it turned purple, and shouted. "Yes, there are even those called Agou and Amao." "Mr. Birdhead, don't argue with him," said the scholar with the stick, putting down the bread and standing in the middle. "Country people are fools. Get your family tree," he turned to the country people again, and said loudly, "I will definitely find that your ancestors are all fools..." "I've never had a family tree..."

"Bah, it's you who are the ones that make my research imprecise!" "But there is no need for genealogy, my theory is not wrong." Mr. Bird Head said even more angrily. "Previously, many scholars wrote letters in favor of my theory, and I have brought those letters here..." "No, no, then you should check the family tree..." "But I have no family tree," said the Fool. "Now that there are so many people in such a mess, and the transportation is inconvenient, waiting for letters from your friends to agree, as evidence, is really more difficult than building a dojo in a snail shell. The evidence is right in front of you: Your name is Mr. Bird Head, isn't it Is it really the head of a bird, and not a man?"

"Hmph!" Mr. Birdhead was so angry that even his helix turned purple. "You insult me ​​like this! You say I'm not human! I want to go to Lord Gaotao (13) with you to have a legal settlement! If I'm really not human, I'd rather make a big deal—that is beheading, do you understand? ? Otherwise, you should sit back. Just wait, don’t move, until I finish eating fried noodles.” "Sir," the countryman replied numbly and calmly, "you are a scholar, and you should know that it is already afternoon, and others will be hungry too. It is a pity that the stomach of a fool is the same as that of a wise man: hungry too. I'm really sorry, I'm going to fish for moss, and I'll surrender after you've got the paperwork." So he jumped on the raft, picked up the net bag, picked up the water plants, and drove away in a normal way.The spectators gradually dispersed, and Mr. Bird Head started to eat fried noodles with red ears and the tip of his nose, while the scholar holding a stick shook his head.

However, whether "Yu" is a worm or a person is still a big question. two Yu is really like a worm. More than half a year has passed, and the flying car from Qiji Kingdom has come eight times. Nine out of ten wooden row residents who have read the words on the pine tree have beriberi, but there is no news of the new water control official.It wasn't until the tenth flying car came that news came that Yu did have such a person, that he was Gun's son, and that Jian released (14) the Minister of Water Conservancy. Jizhou Qi Festival (15), it will be here soon. Everyone was a little bit excited, but indifferent, and didn't really believe it, because everyone's ears were numb when they heard such unreliable rumors.

However, this time it seemed that the news was very reliable. After more than ten days, almost everyone said that the minister was indeed coming, because someone went out to fish for floating weeds and saw the official boat with his own eyes; he also pointed to a black and blue pimple on his head and said In order to avoid it too slowly, he ate the flying stones of the officers and soldiers: this is the evidence that the minister has indeed arrived.Since then, this man has been very famous and very busy. Everyone rushed to see the pimple on his head, almost sinking the wooden raft. Later, scholars called him to study carefully, and determined that his pimple was indeed true. It's really lumpy, so Mr. Bird Head can no longer hold on to his prejudices, so he has to leave the textual research to others, and collect folk tunes by himself. The arrival of a large group of canoes came about twenty days after the bump on the head. On each boat, there were 20 officers and soldiers paddling oars, 30 officers and soldiers holding spears, and flags at the front and back; On the top of the mountain, gentlemen and scholars had lined up on the shore to greet them. After a long time, two fat middle-aged officials appeared from the largest boat, surrounded by about twenty warriors wearing tiger skins. , went to the stone house on the highest peak with the people who greeted him. Everyone was on both sides of the water and land, probed their brains and inquired carefully, only to realize that the two were just investigation commissioners, but not Yu himself. The officials sat in the center of the stone house, and after eating bread, they began to investigate. "The disaster is not serious, and the food can be used perfunctorily," said a representative of scholars and an expert in Miao language. "Bread falls from mid-air every month; there is no shortage of fish, though somewhat earthy, but fat, my lord. As for the lowly people, they have plenty of elm leaves and seaweed, and they are 'full of food all day long, and have nothing to do with it',— — It’s just that I don’t bother, I just need to eat these. We also tasted it, and the taste is not bad, it’s very special..." "Besides," another scholar who studied "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" rushed to say, "Elmus (16) leaves contain vitamin W (17); seaweed contains iodine, which can treat scrofula. Both are very suitable. for hygiene." "O.K!" said another scholar.The officers glared at him. "As for the drink," the scholar of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" continued, "they have as much as they want, and ten thousand generations can't finish it. It's a pity that it contains a little loess. Before drinking, it should be distilled. I have taught it many times. However, they were stubborn and absolutely refused to follow suit, so they created countless patients..." "Even the flood, isn't it caused by them?" A gentleman with five long beards and a caramel-colored robe rushed to ask again. "Before the water came, they were lazy and refused to fill it. When the flood came, they were lazy and refused to pour it..." "That's what it means to lose one's spirit," Fu Xi, sitting in the back row with a mustache, smiled at the sketch writer. "I went to the Pamirs, the wind is strong, the plum blossoms are blooming, the white clouds are flying, the price of gold is rising, and the mice are sleeping. I saw a young man with a cigar in his mouth, and the mist of Chiyou's face... Hahaha! There is no way. ..." (14) "O.K!" We talked like this for a long time.The officials listened very attentively, and at the end of the day, they were asked to draw up a public statement, and it would be best to have a statement that explained how to deal with the aftermath. So the officers disembarked.On the second day, it was said that it was because of the fatigue on the road, no work, and no customers; on the third day, the scholars invited them to appreciate the ancient pine trees on the highest peak, and in the second half of the day, they went to the back of the mountain to fish for eels until dusk.On the fourth day, it was said that it was because of the exhaustion of the inspection, and there was no work and no visitors; on the afternoon of the fifth day, it was reported that the representatives of the lower people were heard. The representatives of the lower people were elected four days ago, but no one refused to go, saying that they had never met the officials.So most of them presumed the one with the pimple on the head, thinking that he had the experience of seeing officials.The pimple that had calmed down suddenly felt like a needle prick, and he cried and insisted: Be a representative, or give me death!Everyone surrounded him and held him accountable for days and nights, saying that he was a self-interested individualist who disregarded public interests, and would not be tolerated by China; the more intense ones even squeezed their fists and stretched them out in front of his nose, demanding He is responsible for the flood this time.He was so thirsty that he thought that it would be better to take the risk of making sacrifices for public welfare than being forced to die on the raft, so he made up his mind, and on the fourth day, he agreed. Everyone praised him, but the warriors were a little jealous. It was the morning of the fifth day. Everyone dragged him up early in the morning and stood on the shore to listen to calls.Sure enough, the officials called.His legs trembled immediately, but he immediately made up his mind. After making up his mind, he yawned twice again, his eye sockets were swollen, and he felt as if his feet were floating on the ground, and he walked onto the official ship. up. Strangely enough, neither the officers and soldiers with spears nor the tiger-skinned warriors beat or scolded him, and kept him in the middle cabin.The cabin was covered with bear skins, leopard skins, several pairs of crossbow bolts, and many bottles and jars, which dazzled him.After taking a closer look, I saw two fat officials sitting on the top, opposite to myself.He didn't dare to see clearly what it looked like. "Are you a representative of the people?" asked one of the officials. "They asked me to come up," he replied, looking at the wormwood-like pattern of the leopard skin that spread on the bilge. "How are you?" "..." He didn't understand the meaning and didn't answer. "How are you doing?" "Thanks to my lord, it's okay..." He thought about it again, and said in a low voice, "Perfunctory...you bastard..." "What about food?" "Yes, leaves, water moss..." "Can you still eat it all?" "Affordable. We're used to everything, and we're able to eat. Only some little beasts are still yelling. People's hearts are going bad. Damn it, we'll beat him." The adults laughed, and one said to the other, "This guy is honest." When the guy heard the praise, he was very happy and became more courageous. He narrated eloquently: "We always have a way to think about it. For example, sphagnum moss, it is best to make slippery emerald soup, and one piece of elm leaves is used as a soup. Peel the bark and do not peel it off. You have to leave one, then next spring, the branches will still grow leaves. There is a harvest. If, thanks to your lord, you catch an eel..." However, the adults didn’t seem to like listening to it very much, and one of them yawned twice in succession, interrupting his speech and saying: “You guys should come together with an official report, and it’s best to also bring a statement of how to contribute to the aftermath. .” "None of us can write..." He said anxiously. "Aren't you illiterate? This is really called not seeking to make progress! There is no way, just pick a portion of what you eat!" Frightened yet happy, he withdrew, touched the pimple, and immediately passed on the command of the adults to the residents on the shore, on the tree and on the row, and said loudly: "This is sent to the top! Do it! Clean, meticulous, decent!..." All the residents were busy at the same time, washing leaves, cutting bark, fishing for moss, making a mess.He himself is a sawn board to make Jincheng's box.Two of them were very polished, and I ran to the top of the mountain overnight to invite scholars to write. One is for the lid of a box, asking to write "Shoushan Fuhai", and the other is for making a flat forehead on my wooden raft. Write "honestly".But scholars are only willing to write a piece of "Shoushan Fuhai". three When the two officials returned to the capital, most of the other inspectors also came back one after another, only Yu was still outside.After they rested at home for a few days, colleagues from the Water Conservancy Bureau arranged a big banquet in the bureau to welcome them. The members were divided into three types: Fu, Lu, Shou, and at least fifty large shells (19).This day was really full of traffic, and before dusk, all the hosts and guests had arrived, but the courtyard had already been lit (20), and the smell of beef in the cauldron penetrated to the nose of the tiger (21) outside the door. They swallowed together.After drinking for three rounds, the officials talked about the scenery along the way of the water town, the reed flowers are like snow, the muddy water is like gold, the eels are plump, and the moss is slippery...etc.After getting a little drunk, I took out the folk food that everyone had collected. They were all packed in delicate wooden boxes with words written on the cover, some were in Fuxi Bagua style (22), some were in Cangjie Guiku style (23), let’s enjoy these first. After arguing almost to the point of a fight, it was decided that the piece that said "Guotai Minan" was the first, because not only the characters were simple and difficult to read, but also had a simple and honest style from ancient times, and the words were also very decent, which could be announced to the history museum. After assessing the unique art of China, the cultural issue finally came to an end, so it was time to inspect the contents of the box: everyone praised the delicacy of the cake.However, I probably drank too much wine, so there was a lot of discussion: some took a bite of the loose skin cake, admired its fragrance, and said that they would hang their crowns and retire tomorrow (24) to enjoy such a blessing; It's terrible, but the taste is rough and bitter, which hurt his tongue. To share the troubles with the people like this, it can be seen that it is difficult for a king, and it is not easy for a minister.A few rushed forward again, trying to snatch the cakes they had bitten, saying that there would be an exhibition to raise donations soon, and these had to be displayed, and it would be unsightly to bite too much. There was also an uproar outside the bureau.A group of beggar-like big men, with dark faces and strangely worn clothes, actually broke through the line that cut off traffic and broke into the bureau.The guards shouted loudly, and quickly crossed their bright daggers left and right, blocking their way. "What?—See it!" A tall, thin and rough man with thick hands and feet stood in front of him and said loudly, startled for a moment. The guards fixed their eyes in the twilight, stood at attention respectfully, raised their arms, and let them in. They only stopped a panting woman in a dark blue homemade robe who was chasing after her, holding a child in her arms. "What? Don't you know me?" She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her fist and asked in surprise. "Mrs. Yu, how come we don't know your family?" "Then why didn't you let me in?" "Mrs. Yu, it's not a good year. From this year on, we must uphold customs and people's hearts. There is no difference between men and women. Now that yamen doesn't let women in, not only here, not only you. This is an order from above. Don't blame us." Mrs. Yu stayed for a while, then raised her eyebrows, turned around, and shouted: "He killed a thousand knives! What kind of funeral is he going to! He walked past the door of his house and didn't even come in to take a look, so he ran to your funeral! Being an official is an official, what good is being an official, carefully like (25) your Lao Tzu, To be exiled to the army, but also to fall into the pool and become a big bastard (26)! This is a heartless killing of thousands of swords!..." At this time, disturbances had already occurred in the lobby of the bureau.As soon as everyone saw a group of reckless men running towards them, they all wanted to avoid them, but they couldn't see the dazzling weapons, so they bit the bullet again and looked intently.Those who came were also approaching. Although the first one had a dark and thin face, he could be recognized from his expression as Yu; the rest were naturally his attendants. This scare scared everyone away from drinking, and there was a rustle of clothes, and everyone immediately retreated below.Yu went straight to the mat and sat down on it, probably in a grandiose manner, or because of the wind on his knees (27), he did not sit with his knees bent, but stretched out his feet, pointing the soles of his big feet to the senior officials. , and don't wear socks, the soles of the feet are covered with chestnut-like calluses.The entourage sat on his left and right sides. "Your Excellency, are you returning to Beijing today?" A bold member of staff asked respectfully, walking a little forward on his knees. "Sit closer!" Yu didn't answer his question, but only said to everyone. "How did the investigation go?" The senior officials walked forward on their knees, looked at each other, and sat in a row under the remnant feast, seeing the bitten loose skin cakes and the gnawed beef bones.Very uncomfortable-but dare not ask the cook to come and collect it. "My lord," said one of the dignitaries at last. "It still looks like a good impression. Pine bark water plants produce a lot; as for drinks, they are very rich. The people are very honest, and they are used to it. My lord, they are all good at enduring hardships. , world-renowned people." "Beizhi has already drawn up a fundraising plan," another senior official said. "We are going to hold a strange food exhibition, and we will also invite Miss Wei (28) to do a fashion show. Only tickets are sold, and there will be no donations in the announcement, so we can see more people." "That's good." Yu said, bending over to him. "However, the most important thing is to quickly send a batch of large rafts to pick up the scholars to the plateau." The third official said, "At the same time, send people to inform the Qiji Kingdom, let them know about our culture of respect, and provide relief. Just send it here every month. Scholars have a report here, which is very interesting. They think that culture is the lifeblood of a country, and scholars are the soul of culture. As long as culture exists, China will also Existence, everything else is secondary..." "They think that China's population is too large," said the first official, "reducing it is the way to peace. Besides, those people are just foolish people, and their joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys are by no means as subtle as the wise men think. .To know people and discuss things, the first thing to do is to rely on subjectivity. For example, Shakespeare (29)..." "Fucking fart!" Yu thought in his heart, but he said loudly: "After researching, I know that the previous method: 'Yun' is indeed wrong. We should use 'Guide' in the future! I don't know what you guys think. What's your opinion?" (30) It was as quiet as a tomb; the faces of the officials also showed death, and many people still felt that they were sick, and I am afraid that they will have to ask for sick leave tomorrow. "This is Chi You's method!" A brave young official quietly angrily. "The humble opinion of a humble position, I thought that adults should take it back." A senior official with white beard and white hair felt that the rise and fall of the world was tied to his mouth at this time, so he put his heart on the line and put death on the line. Unexpectedly, he resolutely protested: "It's the old man's established method. 'If you haven't changed your father's way for three years, you can be called filial piety.'——The old man has ascended to heaven for less than three years." Yu didn't make a sound. "Besides, how much effort did your lord spend. Borrowing God's breathing soil (31) to drown the flood, although God's anger was aroused, the depth of the flood was a little shallower. This seems to be treated as usual." Another official with gray beard and hair said that he was the godson of Yu's uncle. Yu didn't make a sound. "I don't think adults are as good as 'Godfather's Gu' (32)," a fat official saw that Yu was silent, thinking that he was about to be subdued, so he said a little frivolously, but there was still a smile on his face. A layer of oil and sweat. "According to the family law, restore the voice of the family. The adults probably don't know what people are saying about the boss..." "To put it simply, 'Yan' is a good way to judge in the world," the old official with white beard and hair rushed to say, fearing that the fat man would make trouble. "Other things, the so-called 'modern' ones, the former Chi You family was bad at this point." (33) Yu smiled slightly: "I know. Some people say that my father has become a yellow bear, and some people say that he Changed the three-legged turtle (34). Some people also said that I was seeking fame and profit. Just say it. What I want to say is that I checked the situation in Shanze and asked for the opinions of the people. I have seen through the facts and made up my mind , no matter what, it must be 'guided'! These colleagues also agree with me." He raised his hand and pointed to the sides.Officials with white beards, flower beards, fair faces, fat and sweaty, and fat but not sweaty, followed his fingers and saw a row of black and thin beggar-like things, not moving. , don't speak, don't laugh, like cast iron. Four After Master Yu left, time passed really quickly, and before he knew it, the situation in the capital became more and more prosperous.First, some rich people wore cocoon silk robes. Later, they saw oranges and grapefruits being sold in big fruit shops, and Huasi kudzu hanging in big silk shops; Later they had bearskin mattresses and fox fur coats, and the wife also wore red gold earrings and silver bracelets. As long as you stand at the gate, there is always something new to see: a cart of bamboo arrows today, a batch of pine boards tomorrow, sometimes lifting strange rocks for rockery, and sometimes fresh fish for raw fish; Sometimes there is a large group of big tortoises one foot and two inches long, all shrunk their heads and put bamboo cages on them, and they are loaded on the cart and pulled towards the imperial city. "Mom, look, what a big turtle!" the children shouted when they saw it, and ran up to surround the car. "Little devil, get the hell out of here! This is the treasure of Lord Long Live, be careful to kill him!" However, news about Lord Yu also increased along with Zhenbao's entry into Beijing.In front of the eaves of the people and under the trees beside the road, everyone is talking about his stories; the most popular ones are how he turned into a yellow bear at night, dredged the Jiuhe with his mouth and claws, (35) and how Heavenly soldiers and generals were invited to capture Wuzhiqi, the monster who made waves, and put him at the foot of Guishan Mountain.No one mentions the matter of the Emperor Shun, until (36) more, but only to talk about the worthlessness of Prince Danzhu (37). The news that Yu was going back to Beijing had been spread for a long time. Every day, a group of people would stand at the gate to see if his guard of honor would arrive.not at all.However, the news spread more and more tightly, and it seemed to be more true.On a half-cloudy and half-clear morning, he finally entered the imperial capital of Jizhou amidst the crowds of people.There is no guard of honor in front, but a large number of beggars.At the end was a big man with thick hands and thick feet, with a black face and yellow beard, and his legs were slightly bent. He was holding a big black and pointed stone in both hands - "Xuan Gui" bestowed by Lord Shun, and said repeatedly, "Excuse me, excuse me, Let it go, let it go (38)" and squeezed into the palace from the crowd. The people were cheering and discussing outside the palace gate, the sound was just like the sound of the waves of the Zhejiang River (39). Lord Shun was sitting on the dragon seat, he was already old and he couldn't help feeling tired, but now he seemed a little frightened.As soon as Yu arrived, he stood up courteously and saluted. Gao Tao went to greet him first, and then Shun said: "You can also say a few good things and I will listen." "Hmph, what do I have to say?" Yu Jian replied shortly. "I just want to grow every day!" "What is 'Zizi'?" Gao Tao asked. "The flood is overwhelming," Yu said. "The vast mountains and mausoleums are so vast that all the people are submerged in the water. I take a car on a dry road, a boat on a water road, a sledge on a dirt road, and a sedan chair on a mountain road. Yitongshu and Heyiliang give everyone food and meat to eat. Let the water from the fields flow into the river, let the river water flow into the sea, and Hejiliang gives you something rare to eat. If there is not enough food, adjust the surplus to make up for the shortage. Move. Everyone Only then did it calm down, and everything became the same.” "That's right, those words are really good!" Gao Tao praised. "Oh!" Yu said. "Be careful and be quiet when you are an emperor. Have a conscience for the sky, and the genius will still give you benefits!" Lord Shun sighed, and entrusted him to manage the country's affairs. If you have an opinion, speak it face to face, and don't speak ill of it behind your back.Seeing that Yu agreed, he sighed again, and said, "Don't be disobedient like Danzhu, who just likes to wander around. He has to punting on dry land, and makes trouble at home, making life hard. I really don't like it." Pleasing to the eye!" "I asked for a wife, and I left in four days," Yu replied. "When I gave birth to Aqi, I didn't treat him as his son. So it was good to be able to control the water and divide it into five circles. It covered five thousand miles, counting twelve states, and reached the sea. Five chieftains were established. It's very good. But there are Miao No, you have to be careful!" "My world is really thanks to your efforts!" Master Shun also praised. So Gao Tao, together with Lord Shun, bowed his head in awe. After he retired from the court, he hurriedly issued a special order, asking the people to follow Yu's behavior. This caused the merchants to panic first.But fortunately, Master Yu's attitude has changed a bit since he returned to Beijing: he is not particular about eating and drinking, but he is generous when doing sacrifices and religious ceremonies; his clothes are casual, but he should dress beautifully when going to court and visiting guests.So the market was still not very affected, and after a while, the merchants said that Lord Yu's behavior should be imitated, and Lord Gao's new decree is also very good; finally, the peace is so peaceful that even all the beasts can dance, and the phoenix also flies to join in the fun. (40) November 1935. ==================================================== ============== (1) Before this article was included in this book, it had not been published in newspapers. (2) "Tangtang Flood is cut, Haohao Huaishan Xiangling" comes from "Shangshu·Yao Dian": "Tangtang Flood is cut, Huaishan Xiangling is dangling, vast and vast." Kong Anguo's note in Han Dynasty: "Cutting, hurting." "Huai, bag; Xiang, going up." It means: the flood caused harm, surrounded the mountain mightily and submerged part of the hills. (3) Shun, the emperor in ancient Chinese legends.The name is Yushi, which is common to Yushun.According to legend, the floods were rampant during the time of Yao, and after Shun succeeded to the throne, he ordered Yu to control the floods, and the floods were subsided. (4) Regarding the story of Gun's flood control, "Historical Records Xia Benji" has the following records: "When Emperor Yao was in power, the flood waters flooded the sky, and the vast mountains and Xiangling mausoleums made the people worry about them. Yao asked for those who could control the water; The ministers and the four mountains all said that Gun could be used....So Yao listened to the four mountains and used Gun to control the water. The water did not stop for nine years, and the function was ineffective. So Emperor Yao asked for help, and even got Shun. Hunting, seeing that Gun's water control has nothing to do, he killed Gun on Mount Yu to die. The whole world regards Shun's punishment as right." According to "killing", it is usually interpreted as "killing", but "Shang Shu · Shun Dian" Kong Yingda Shu They think that "flowing", "releasing", "running" and "killing" "all mean exile". According to this statement, Gun died there after being exiled to Mount Yu. (5) Yu The hero of water control in ancient my country and the founder of the Xia Dynasty. "Historical Records Xia Benji" says that Yu "named Wen Ming" was ordered to control the water after his father Gun was killed: "When Yao collapsed, Emperor Shun asked the four mountains and said: 'There is something that can make Yao beautiful (according to that is the method of water control. Those who do things) are envoys.' They all said: 'Bo Yu is Sikong, and he can achieve the merits of Mei Yao.' Shun said: 'Oh, yes!' Order Yu: 'Women (ru) level the water and soil, Wei is to encourage it! 'Yu paid homage to Jishou and gave way to Qi, Houji, and Gaotao. Shun said: 'Go and see what you have done!'" There are many legends about his water control deeds in "Shangshu", "Mencius" and other pre-Qin ancient books. There are descriptions. (6) The activities of the scholars gathered on the "Cultural Mountain" written as an interlude in this article are about thirty people including Jiang Han, Liu Fu, Xu Bingchang, and Ma Heng in the cultural and educational circles in Peking in October 1932. The irony of suggesting to the Kuomintang government that Peiping be designated as a "Cultural City".At that time, Japanese imperialism had already invaded the northeast of our country, and North China was also in danger. The Kuomintang government implemented a policy of surrender and betrayal. After abandoning the Northeast, it was preparing to retreat from North China.Jiang Han and others wanted to prevent the southward movement of ancient cultural relics, but they used the reason that Beiping was not important politically and militarily at that time, and proposed to ask the Kuomintang government to withdraw its armaments from Beiping and designate it as an undefended cultural area. It is extremely absurd claims.They said in their opinion that there are many precious cultural relics in Beiping, all of which "are the lifeblood of the country and the place where the national spirit rests...they must never be sacrificed."He also said: "Because Beiping has various cultural facilities, most of the country's specialized scholars of various cultures gather in Beiping...Once all the various cultural facilities in Peking are removed, these scholars will of course inevitably be separated." Requirement " The government designated Peiping as a cultural city, and moved all military equipment to Baoding." (See "World Journal" in Beiping, October 6, 1932) This actually met the needs of Japanese imperialist aggression and surrendered to the Kuomintang government. The "theory" of the traitorous policy is exactly the same.Although the Kuomintang government did not openly designate Beiping as a "Cultural City", it was finally handed over to the Japanese imperialists, and most of the ancient cultural relics were shipped to Nanjing in batches in early 1933.Between September 18th and his death, the author wrote many essays exposing the KMT government’s capitulation and traitorism, and satirized the so-called “Cultural City” in an essay at that time (see “Pseudo-Cultural City” Free Book · Chongshi").What this article satirizes in the episode of "Cultural Hill" is the absurd remarks reflected in the submissions of Jiang Han and others. Several of the so-called scholars were modeled on some representative figures in the cultural circle at that time.For example, "a scholar with a stick" alludes to "eugenicist" Pan Guangdan.Pan once explained heredity based on the genealogy of some bureaucratic landlord families, and wrote "The Distinguished Families of Jiaxing in Ming and Qing Dynasties" and other books; his "theory" is the same as that of some bourgeois scholars in European and American countries about race same kind of stuff.Another example is Mr. Bird Head, alluding to Gu Jiegang, a textual research scientist. According to the interpretation of the characters "Gun" and "Yu" in "Shuowen Jiezi", he said that Gun is a fish and Yu is an insect like a lizard (see "Ancient History Bian" Volume 1, pages 63 and 119). The name "Niaotou" comes from the word "Gu"; according to "Shuowen Jiezi", the word Gu comes from the sound of Ye, which is the name of a bird, and the original meaning of Ye is head.Gu Jiegang once worked in the Ballad Research Association of Peking University Research Institute, collected Suzhou ballads, and published a volume of "Wu Ge Jia Ji". Therefore, it is said that Mr. Bird Head "went to collect folk songs". (7) Odd Arm Country See "Shan Hai Jing Overseas Western Classics": "The country of Odd Arm is in the north. Its people have three eyes in one arm, yin and yang, and they ride horses." Guo Pu's note: "The people Goodness is ingenuity, to take hundreds of birds, to make a flying car, and to travel far away by the wind." (8) The transliteration of Gumao Lin's English Good morning, which means "good morning". (9) How doyou do is a transliteration of English How doyou do, which means "Hello". (10) OK American English: "That's right." (11) Taishanghuang refers to Shun's father, Gusou. "Historical Records Five Emperors Benji" said: "Yu Shun's name is Chonghua; Chonghua's father is Gusou.... Shun's father Gusou is stubborn." "Stubbornness" means ignorance and ignorance. In "Shangshu·Da Yumo", Confucius passed down the words that Shun "could thank his obstinate father with sincerity" and make him "faithful". (12) "Yu" "Shuowen Jiezi": "Yu, a female monkey." In the Qing Dynasty, Duan Yucai quoted Guo Pu's note and said: "Yu is as big as a macaque, with red eyes and a long tail." According to "Shuowen" , The strokes of the word "Yu" are simpler than that of the word "Yu", so "Yu" is said here to be a simple character of "Yu". (13) Gao Tao is said to be a courtier of Shun. "Shang Shu Shun Dian": "The emperor said: 'Gao Tao, the barbarians are sly Xia, the bandits are treacherous, and you are a scholar.'" "Scholar" is the official in charge of prison litigation.When Lu Xun was in Guangzhou in 1927, Gu Jiegang wrote to Lu Xun from Hangzhou in mid-July, saying that Lu Xun had infringed him on writing, and "planned to file a lawsuit after returning to Guangdong in mid-September, waiting for legal resolution." Lu Xun "don't leave Guangdong for the time being, so that the trial will start." Lu Xun replied to him at that time: "Please sue in Zhejiang as soon as possible, and then the servant will go to Hangzhou to take responsibility." Here is the dialogue between Mr. Bird Head and the countryman , implying this matter.See "San Xian Ji Response to Professor Gu Jiegang's Order "Pending Trial"". (14) Simplify the appointment of senior officials by ancient monarchs.Jane refers to the official booklet. (In the Qing Dynasty, it was said that foreign officials above the Taoist government were appointed by special orders as Jian Fang.) （15）从冀州启节《尚书·禹贡》叙“禹别九州”，首举冀州。孔颖达疏：“冀州，尧所都也。诸州冀为其先，治水先从冀起。”又《史记·夏本纪》也说：“禹行自冀州始。”按冀州为古九州之一，约相当于现在的河北山西二省及河南山东黄河以北地区。尧都平阳（今山西临汾），在冀州境内，故下文又说“冀州的帝都”。启节，指旧时高级官员启程、出发。节，古代使者及特派官员出行时所持的信物。 （16）《神农本草》是我国最古的记载药物的专书。其成书年代不可确考，当是秦汉间人托神农之名而作。 （17）维他命W维他命是Vitamin的音译，现在通称维生素。但并未发现维他命W。下文的瘰疬病，中医病名，主要指颈部淋巴结核一类疾病；而因缺碘所致的甲状腺肿大（俗虫大脖子）叫“瘿”，不叫瘰疬。这里是讽刺当时一些所谓学者的无知妄说。 （18）“伏羲朝小品文学家”的这段话，是对当时林语堂一派人提倡的所谓“语录体”小品文的模拟；林语堂主张的所谓“语录体”，用他自己的话来说，是“文言中不避俚语，白话中多放之乎”（见第三十期《答周劭论语录体写法》），基本上还是文言。这是一种变相的复古主义。其次，这段话中的“见一少年，口衔雪茄，面有蚩尤氏之雾”，是影射林语堂丑化进步青年的谰言（林语堂在他的《游杭再记》中有“见有二青年，口里含一枝苏俄香烟，手里夹一本什么斯基的译本”这样的话）。蚩尤是传说中我国九黎族的首领，相传他和黄帝作战时，施放大雾，后为黄帝所擒杀；由于民族偏见，旧日史书把他描写成非常凶恶的怪物。因此，蚩尤的名字也常被过去统治阶级用来形容他们所认为的“凶恶的人”。一九二六年，北洋军阀吴佩孚为了“讨赤”，曾经异想天开地拿蚩尤来比拟“赤化”，胡说：“草昧初开，部落时代，蚩尤肆虐，彼时无所谓法制，无所谓伦纪，殆与赤化无异”（见一九二六年七月十一日北京《晨报》）。他还说，查得蚩尤是“赤化”的始祖，因“蚩”和“赤”同音，“蚩尤”即“赤化之尤”云云。参看《华盖集续编·马上支日记》及其有关注。 （19）贝壳上古用贝壳为货币。 （20）庭燎庭院中照明的火酒。《诗经·小雅·庭燎》孔颖达疏：“庭燎者，树之于庭，燎之为明，是烛之大者。” （21）虎贲勇士，即下文所说的卫兵们。《尚书·牧誓》：“虎贲三百人。”孔颖达疏说，称为虎贲，是形容他们“若虎之贲（奔）走逐兽，言其猛也。” （22）伏羲八卦体伏羲，我国古代传说中的帝王。相传他曾画八卦。《周易·系辞传》说：“古者包牺氏（即伏羲）之王天下也，仰则观象于天，俯则观法于地，观鸟兽之文与地之宜，近取诸身，远取诸物，于是始作八卦。” （23）仓颉鬼哭体仓颉，一作苍颉，相传他是黄帝的史官，最初创造文字的人。《淮南子·本经训》中记有关于苍颉的一种传说：“昔者苍颉作书而天雨粟，鬼夜哭。” （24）挂冠归隐《后汉书·逢萌传》载：王莽时逢萌为了避祸，“即解冠挂东都城门”而去。后人因此称辞官为“挂冠”。 （25）禹过家门不入，见《孟子·滕文公》：“禹八年于外，三过其门而不入。”又《史记·夏本纪》：“（禹）劳身焦思，居外十三年，过家门不敢入。” （26）忘八乌龟的俗虫。古代传说鲧死后化为三足鳖。参看本篇注（34）。 （27）鹤膝风中医病名，结核性关节炎的一种。战国时楚国人尸佼所著的《尸子》中记有禹生“偏枯之疾”的传说：“（禹）疏河决江，十年未阚其家，手不爪，胫不毛，生偏枯之疾，步不相过。” （28）女隗《左传》中狄人之女多姓隗，如叔隗、季隗等。又《史记·匈奴列传》说：“匈奴，其先祖夏后氏（夏禹）之苗裔也。”匈奴就是春秋时的狄人。本篇中女隗这个人名，大概是根据这类记载而虚拟出来的。 （29）莎士比亚（WShakespeare．，1564—1616）欧洲文艺复兴时期英国戏剧家、诗人，著有剧本《仲夏夜之梦》、《罗密欧与朱丽叶》、《哈姆雷特》等三十七种。现代评论派陈西滢、徐志摩等经常标榜只有他们懂得莎士比亚，如陈西滢在一九二五年十月二十一日《晨报副刊》发表的中说：“不爱莎士比亚你就是傻子。”徐志摩在同月二十六日《晨报副刊》发表的《汉姆雷德与留学生》中说，“去过大英国”的留学生才能“讲他的莎士比亚”，别人“不配插嘴”。稍后的“第三种人”杜衡在一九三四年六月《文艺风景》创刊号发表《莎剧凯撒传里所表现的群众》一文，也借评莎士比亚来诬蔑人民群众“没有理性”，“没有明确的利害观念”等等。本篇中这个大员从“愚民”忽然拉扯到莎士比亚，是作者对陈、杜这类人的讽刺。 （30）“湮”鲧用的治水方法。《尚书·洪范》：“我闻在昔，鲧□洪水。”□（湮），填塞。“导”，是禹用的治水方法，《国语·周语》：“伯禹念前之非度，□改制量，……高高下下，疏川导滞。”导，疏通。 （31）息壤传说中一种能够自己生长，永不耗减的土壤。《山海经·海内经》：“洪水滔天，鲧窃帝之息壤以湮洪水，不待帝命；帝令祝融杀鲧于羽郊。”郭璞注：“息壤者，言土自长息无限，故可以塞洪水也。” （32）“干父之蛊”语见《周易·蛊》初六：“干父之蛊，有子，考无咎。”三国时魏国王弼注：“干父之事，能承先轨，堪其任者也。”后称儿子能完成父亲所未竟的事业，因而掩盖了父亲的过错为“干蛊”。 （33）摩登英语Modern的音译，原意为现代，这里是时髦的意思。 （34）这是古代关于鲧的一种传说。《左传》昭公七年：“昔尧殛鲧于羽山，其神化为黄熊，以入于羽渊。”唐代陆德明《释文》：“黄熊，音雄，兽名。亦作能，如字，一音奴来反，三足鳖也。”能，一写作熊。《史记·夏本纪》替代张守节《正义》说：“鲧之羽山，化为黄熊，入于羽渊。熊，音乃来反，下三点为三足也。束晰《发蒙记》云：'鳖三足曰熊'。” （35）禹化为熊的传说，见清代马骕《绎史》卷十二引《随巢子》：“（禹）治洪水，通辕山，化为熊。”按随巢子，战国时墨翟弟子，著《随巢子》六篇，清代马国翰《玉函山房辑佚书》内有辑文一卷。 （36）禹捉无支祁的传说，见替代李公佐《古岳渎经》：“禹理水，三至桐柏山，惊风走雷，石号木鸣，五伯拥川，天老肃兵，不能兴。禹怒，召集百灵，搜命夔龙。桐柏千君长稽首请命。……乃获淮涡水神，名无支祁，善应对言语，辨江淮之浅深，原隰之远近。形若猿猴，缩鼻高额，青躯白首，金目雪牙。颈伸百尺，力逾九象，搏击腾踔疾奔，轻利倏忽，闻视不可久。……颈鏁大索，鼻穿金铃，徙淮阴之龟山之足下。俾淮水永安流注海也。”（据鲁迅辑《唐宋传奇集》卷三） （37）丹朱太子尧的儿子。古书中都说他“不肖”（品德不像他的父亲），所以尧不把天下传给他而传给舜。 （38）“玄圭”见《尚书·禹贡》：“禹锡玄圭，告厥成功。”又《史记·夏本纪》：“帝锡禹玄圭，以告成功于天下。”圭，古代诸侯大夫在朝会和祭祀时所执的一种长条尖顶的玉器。玄，黑色。 （39）浙水的涛声浙水，即钱塘江，涨潮时涛声很大。 （40）关于禹同舜和皋陶谈话的情形，《史记·夏本纪》有如下的一段记载：“帝舜谓禹曰：'女（汝）亦昌言。'禹拜曰：'於！予何言？予思曰孳孳！'皋陶难禹曰：'何谓孳孳？'禹曰：'鸿水滔天，浩浩怀山襄陵，下民皆服于水。予陆行乘车，水行乘舟，泥行乘橇，山行乘[木辇]，行山木，与益予众庶稻鲜食；以决九川致四海，浚畎浍致之川，与稷予众庶难得之食；食少，调有余补不足，徙居。众民乃定，万国为治。'皋陶曰：'然，此而美也！'禹曰：'於！帝慎乃在位，安尔止，辅德，天下大应。清意以昭待上帝命，天其重命用休！'帝曰：'吁！臣哉，臣哉！臣作朕股肱耳目，予欲左右有民，女辅之。……女无面谀，退而谤予。……'禹曰：'然。……'帝曰：'毋若丹朱傲，维慢游是好，毋水行舟，朋淫于家，用绝其世，予不能顺是。'禹曰：'予辛壬娶涂山，癸甲（按应作予娶涂山，辛壬癸甲），生启，予不子，以故能成水土功，辅成五服，至于五千里，州十二师，外薄四海，咸建五长，各道有功。苗顽不即功，帝其念哉！'帝曰：'道吾德，乃女功序之也！'皋陶于是敬禹之德，令民皆则禹。不如言，刑从之。舜德大明。于是夔行乐，祖考至，群后相让，鸟兽翔舞，箫韶九成，凤皇来仪，百兽率舞，百官信谐。”又关于禹的吃喝和衣服，《论语·泰伯》记有孔丘的话：“子曰：'禹，吾无间然矣。菲饮食而致孝乎鬼神，恶衣服而致美乎黻冕，卑宫室而尽力乎沟洫。'”
