Chapter 249. Ancient version of "The Legend of the Crazy Woman"
Speaking of China's four major obscene books, we have to mention this "The Biography of the Crazy Woman", because this book is very special compared to other books, such as other "Ruyi Langjun Biography", "Feiyan Foreign History", "Embroidered Couch Field History" These books appeared in the era of most of them are written with male eyes to write the pleasure of the bed boudoir. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info but "The Legend of the Crazy Woman" writes about these fragrant things from the perspective of the heroine, if the author of this book "Furong Master" is a woman, then it is very likely that this person is the first person in the world to write with the body.
This book uses flashback penmanship in simple and close Chinese to tell the story of the young girl Shangguan Ana's initial love, less personal affairs, and even after marriage, she was sent back to her mother's house as a "corrupt woman", and then converted to Buddhism, and cleansed her lustful heart with cool water.
For edition scholars, the various versions of this book are curious, this book is also known as "The Legend of the Crazy Woman", and there are books written in the Spring Garden, lithographs and various manuscripts circulating. There is also a book of the Seonghuabo in Kyoto, Japan.
However, after many scholars' research, they feel that the earliest version of this book should be engraved in the 29th year of Qianlong, so it is known as the "Qianlong engraved version". Unfortunately, this edition has been lost, and the best version is the Shokabo edition in Kyoto, Japan.
But for those literati and writers, it is the content of the book that is important. "The Legend of the Crazy Woman" is one of the most distinctive literary novels of the Ming Dynasty. The book is dictated in the first person, and there is an opening and ending with "I" at the beginning and end. It belongs to the self-described biography style, which is rarely seen in ancient China. This kind of flashback and autobiography structure is mostly believed to have been introduced from the West after the May Fourth Movement, but it is obviously not credible if you examine it carefully. In addition, although "The Legend of the Crazy Woman" is also a novel that promotes the indulgence of men and women, and describes the happiness brought by the union of men and women at length, "The Legend of the Crazy Woman" is written in the first person in a woman's voice, focusing on the feelings of sex from a woman's point of view, which is very distinctive; The curvaceous sex with thirteen men in the book, the psychological changes, and the facial features are all different, which is obviously a kind of personal and serious writing, completely avoiding the clichés of most such novels, which undoubtedly makes "The Legend of the Crazy Woman" stand out and stand out in the forest of glamorous books.
As a Shanghai-style literary bigwig, Huang Shang was once obsessed with finding various versions and manuscripts of "The Legend of the Crazy Woman". So much so that once in the glaze factory was deceived by a small guy in a workshop, the other party deceived him with an imitation manuscript of eight oceans, so that he was later known by Huang Shang's old friend Qian Zhongshu, and wrote a poem and joked: "Asking for a good book is a foolish woman, and it is rare to find a beautiful woman and a sweet sister." ”
In the forties and fifties of the last century, Huang Zongying was a famous "sweet sister" in the film industry, and Rong Dingchang (Huang Shang) admired Huang Zongying well. Unfortunately, his quest failed, and he said lightly: "Then I will make your clothes." Since then, there has been a yellow dress. The so-called "all over the world, the idiot is a woman, and it is rare to find a beautiful sweet sister." "The upper link is to say that Huang Shang is looking for this ancient obscene book "Crazy Woman", and the lower link is to ridicule him for picking up girls. It can be seen that being able to own an ancient book "The Legend of the Crazy Woman" is a dream of many traditional Chinese literati.
At this moment, Lin Yi opened the ancient book with a little excitement, and when he saw it, he was shocked, it turned out to be an engraved book, it couldn't be that---
Lin Yi's hands trembling a little when he turned the book, opened the title page of the book, and found the tablet page, Lin Yi looked carefully, and saw that it was very clearly written on the tablet page: Wanli forty-five years, Ruyi workshop engraving. Then there was a big red seal, which Lin Yi carefully recognized, but it was the four big characters of "Seal of Impostor".
Lin Yi's heart was shocked, and he almost dropped the book he was holding to the ground. Because the two pieces of information on this page directly tell Lin Yi the age of the book, its origin, and who the collector is.
First of all, this engraved ancient book is even earlier than the legendary "Qianlong engraved book", and nearly a hundred years earlier!
Secondly, the collector of this book turned out to be a famous writer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Who is Mao Xiang? If you like to read history books, you should have heard of the "Four Great Princes of the Late Ming Dynasty".
Among the ancient and modern sons, in addition to the four monarchs of the Warring States, there are no more colorful than the four sons of the late Ming Dynasty - Chen Zhenhui, Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi, and Mao Kaijiang. These four people are loyal and righteous, and they are filial piety and love guests, and they are well-received. And Lin Yi is so familiar with Mao Xiang because he read Gao Yang's novels.
Mao Xiang Ming Wanli was born, the name Xiang, the nickname rope, the word Bijiang, the number of the nest people, the number one Pu An, also known as the Park Nest, in his later years, he called himself a drunken tea old man, and he was a private Mr. Qianxiao. Jiangsu Rugao people, now such as the city water city garden is the former residence of the Mao family. A literary scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, he was known as the "Four Sons of the Ming Dynasty" together with Tongcheng Fang Yizhi, Yixing Chen Zhenhui and Shangqiu Hou Chaozong, at the age of 83.
He has written a lot of books, and the great man Chairman Mao has made a conclusion. According to the Central Literature Publishing House's book "Mao Ze Dong and His Secretary Tian Jiaying", on January 8, 1942, Tian Jiaying published an article entitled "Starting from Hou Fangyu" in Yan'an's "Liberation Daily". But Mao's and his predecessor Tang Bohu and other Ming Dynasty "four great talents" in the Ming Dynasty, the personality is suave, informal, sometimes known as "Southeast Xiuying" and "people like good women", his marriage and love life is also very legendary, which is understandable at the time. According to research, in addition to the "dew couple" in Mao Bijiang's life, there are more than 10 women who have a relationship with him in the literature.
It can be seen that it is reasonable for this amorous impostor to hide a book of wind and moon "The Legend of the Crazy Woman" in his hand.
Just when Lin Yi was making all kinds of guesses, suddenly, a wisp of book fragrance came out of the "Crazy Woman" in his hand, and floated into Lin Yi's nose leisurely.
In a trance, Lin Yi seemed to have returned to the war-torn era of the Jin Ge Iron Horse.
The troubled times are scattered, and the face is thin.
A beautiful woman was tattooing flowers on the red line of the green building, and a gust of wind blew, and the embroidery she embroidered was blown downstairs by the wind.
The white horse's hooves trampled on it, and a noble scholar got off the horse, picked up the embroidery, looked up, and smiled at her.
At sunset, she was drunk.
It's like finding a lifetime of happiness.
……
The hibiscus tent is warm, and the bright moon hangs high.
He drew her eyebrows, painted her, drew the shameful picture of the spring palace, and taught her to write by hand, whispering in her ear, telling her that he was leaving, but he would come back to marry her, and he would definitely be.
……
He's gone.
She looked forward to it day and night, standing on the eaves of the green building, waiting for the tall white horse, waiting for the people on the horse.
Since he left, she no longer accepts guests, let the bustard insult, let the guests humiliate, she cleans herself and loves herself, only for him to guard herself like jade.
……
He still did not come, but the city began to be in chaos, and the Tartar soldiers came, and they burned and killed and took prisoners, and did all kinds of evil.
She was taken by a bearded Tartar, who said that he would redeem her and marry her. She didn't want to.
One night the bearded man rushed in and forcibly took possession of her, she was no longer clean, and she became a disgraced woman.
The bearded man laughed shamefully, what chastity does a prostitute learn to keep, a dog's grass!
……
She cried for three days and didn't sleep for three days.
She looked at those familiar calligraphy and paintings, and looked at the "Crazy Woman" given to him by her son, her tears were dry and her throat was dumb.
……
In the VIP room, the bearded tartar was drinking and talking to the bustard about helping her redeem herself.
There was an exclamation from the girl in the green building.
When the bearded man and the bustard arrived in the room, they saw that she had already pierced one of her eyes with an embroidery needle.
ripples of blood and tears,
This is unswerving.
……
She became a blind woman, and no one wanted her anymore. She was abandoned in the green building, helping others sew and mend and wash clothes.
As the years passed, she grew old.
She is no longer in appearance, and has become a filthy blind old woman.
Occasionally, she would lean against the corner of the wall, and look at the sun in the sky with her blind eyes, and feel the scorching light, as if she had seen the tall white horse again, and the man who was smiling brightly.
He's back, waving to her.
At night, she would stroke the calligraphy and painting he had given her and the book he had given her countless times, treasured them like treasures.
……
She was lying in bed, literally dying.
She sold everything she could sell, but she couldn't bear to give up these five paintings and a book. She held them and felt life slowly slipping by.
She opened her mouth to say something to her adopted son, her lips were too dry to make a sound.
The oil lamp lit on the table made a "beep" sound, and when the last beep was made, the oil lamp slowly ran out and emitted its last rays of light.
She seemed to see everything again, and he greeted her on a white-headed horse, and she opened her arms and went back to her girlhood and smiled happily.
On the bed, she let go of the treasures she was holding, leaving an eternal smile on her face.
……
She was placed in a dark coffin, accompanied by the treasures, and the dust of a shovel fell, and the coffin was submerged in the dirt.
The sun dimmed, and everything fell silent.
She was inside, still smiling.
Smile happily.
……
"Hey, friend, how's it going? Give a price, and don't waste time! The voice of the horse-faced eighth master came to his ears.
The voice pulled Lin Yi back to reality from his hallucination.
In front of him was still the small cabin of the forest farm, and a group of fierce guys around him were all staring at him, and he was still holding the Wanli version of "The Biography of the Crazy Woman" in his hand.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, said with a smile on his face, "Do you know that it is illegal to buy and sell such things?" ”
laughed, the horse-faced eighth master laughed, as if he had heard the most ridiculous words, "Friend, you have nothing wrong with your brain, right?" To say these things here. "Someone next to him was about to make a move, and the eighth master stopped him." If you want to buy old goods, you have to know some rules, don't say anything--- then talk about it, these things are buried in the ground, the government can dig them, why can't we dig them? ”
"That's different, people call it archaeology, you call it tomb robbery." Lin Yi cut the railway.
"Grass, don't play with me, who wouldn't say good things. I'll ask you now, what price can I charge for these things! "The horse-faced eighth master is angry.
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I like these things very much, and I can give you a high price, but I can't accept them." ”
"Why?"
"Because if I accept it, it will be equivalent to helping you, helping you steal more tombs in the future!"
"Grass, are you okay, pretending to be justice, pretending to be positive energy? Lao Tzu asked you the last sentence, do you accept it or not? The eighth master gritted his teeth, looking ready to do it.
"No!" Lin Yi was categorical.
"Die!" The eighth master pulled out the sharp knife that was stabbed on the Taishi's chair and threw it directly at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was shocked, seeing that the flying knife had already flown towards the door in front of him, he said in his heart, it's over
At this moment, one hand grabbed the throwing knife
Blood flowed out from the blade, Huang Jiao's face did not change, he grabbed the sharp knife, looked at Lin Yi and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" ”
Lin Yi's answer was, "It's not good, I'm wetting my pants." ”
Such an answer and a question, if it were placed in normal times, it must be very comedic, but the situation in front of him seemed very weird, so that the eighth master and the others looked at the two of them unfriendly, and their eyes were full of cruelty. (To be continued.) )
