Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Childhood Infatuation [Act 4] Maze (29)

The creamy rococo terrace immersed in the moonlit night is illuminated by the bright lights as if it were painted with a faint golden glaze. Compared with the noisy and bright venue, only the night breeze blows here, bringing the rich fragrance of seasonal flowers such as golden cinnamon and moon season, which is particularly quiet and elegant.

"Crossing the Milky Way at night, I don't know how to find a way. Hurriedly looking for a shallow place, suddenly realized that it was dawn. [126] "Seeing that there was silence outside, Oshima Hirohan leaned on the openwork iron guardrail, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion," I remember that Han Changli, a great poet of China, once warned the students of Guozijian that 'in the poor years of the vultures, burn the ointment and follow the sundial'. [127] It is a pity that he forgot that his body and mind are like bowstrings, and he must loosen them after a long time, otherwise the strings will break and the bow will break, and he will no longer be able to follow the warriors to gallop across the field and establish meritorious deeds. I have missed how many beautiful scenery in the world, and I will regret it for the rest of my life! ”

Yoshio Kato lowered his eyes and laughed, knowing that Hiroshi Oshima was sarcastic for his hard work, and his hard work was nothing more than making a wedding dress for others. Even sarcastically saying that he will never be his political opponent, it is better not to ask about everything in the future, and it is better to unload his armor and return to the field. He then became more and more calm, and his voice was soft: "I don't want Oshima-kun to be a fan of Duyi culture, and he also has a lot of research on Chinese literature, and he really deserves to be a talent who has been appreciated by his predecessors in Shan County[128]. As the "Book of Rites" says, 'one piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts' [129], so when everything is relaxed, it is even more necessary to 'listen to the Tao in a sequence, and specialize in the arts' [130], that is, each is good at his own ability and fulfills his responsibilities. Otherwise, how can he be like Han Changli, who has both 'civil and military' and cultivates the 'Tao'? ”

At this time, accompanied by the cheerful rhythm of the cancan dance, a loud laughter and dense broken steps sounded from the room, and it was obvious that the venue was still gathering disturbances and full of interest.

But Hiroshi Oshima was not happy about this, but put on a face of national characters, and scolded Yoshio Kato in his heart for being so hateful - first, he laughed at himself for knowing the way of relaxation, but he didn't know the whole sentence and its source, and it was self-defeating to sell himself and boast; Second, he ridiculed himself as if he was familiar with Han Yu's writings, but in fact he swallowed dates, only knowing one but not the other, which was just the so-called "half a bottle of water" by the Zhantang monk of the Song Dynasty in China [131]. He crumpled the Cuban cigar in his hand for a moment, and sneered: "No wonder Kato-kun, under the guidance of the predecessors of Hioki, successfully forced the 'Hongxian Emperor' of China to sign the 'Twenty-one Articles'. But I have heard that the old thing is very stubborn, and will not agree to the fifth clause [132]. It seems that in terms of both 'civil and military' and 'Dao', I will indeed give you more advice in the future. ”

Exegesis:

[126] This is the work of the Japanese singer Kitomo in the early Heian period, and the song is titled "The Song of the Emperor Kanpei on the Night of Tanabata and Other Songs".

[127] Han Changli, that is, the famous poet Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty, the word retreated. Because he called himself Changli, he was called Han Changli and wrote "Mr. Changli's Collection". This sentence comes from the "Explanation of Entering Study": "Burning anointing oil to follow the sundial, and constant vulture to poor years", describing the hard work or study all year round, without a moment of rest.

[128] That is, Yama Aritomo, the veteran of the Nagasu faction in Japan during World War II, Hiroshi Oshima's father, Kenichi Oshima, was one of his cronies, and was mentioned in the third act of the second chapter of the text, "Disillusionment".

[129] from "The Book of Rites_ Miscellaneous Notes": "Zhang is not relaxed, and the civil and military are also capable; Relaxed but not relaxed, civil and military for the also. One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs. ”

[130] from Han Yu's "Shi Shuo", this sentence is a famous sentence in the article.

[131] The whole sentence is "a bottle does not sound, half a bottle swayes", which is a metaphor for the modest and silent people who are full, while the shallow people prefer to show and boast about themselves. From the Song-Zong Gaolu "Da Hui Pu Zen Master Zongmen Arsenal - Zhantang Monk": "Your bottle is self-clean, but there are these evil water in it, and you are dissatisfied, just ring, if you don't make a sound, you have to lean forward and wash it, but it is full of a bottle of good water and it doesn't sound, because it doesn't sound?" The lid is full. ”

[132] Nichi, that is, the Japanese minister to China at that time. For details of historical materials such as Yuan Shikai and the "Twenty-One Articles", see notes [12] and [13] in Chapter 2, Act 3, "Disillusionment".
