Chapter 35: One Refuses to Admit Defeat and the Other Doesn't Believe in Evil
"The sky is a quilt, the ground is a bed, the flowers are like brocade, the grass is like a mat, and the blue sky and white clouds are new houses!" The Iron Gate Dao speaks of a free mind and infinite courage.
"Morning practice, twilight martial arts, tenderness like water, good times like dreams, the Cowherd and Weaver Girl enter Hong Kong!" Wu Zhi conforms to his nature, caters to humanity, and expresses a happy life that is positive and ordinary, and ordinary is embellished with blissful pleasure. —Note 1
"Little brother, what's your name?"
"The old man is above, the surname is Wu below, and the single name is a straight word."
"Straightness is justice for all ages!"
"Ordinary people in the world are convinced!" This puts the title above the name! The right thing is the way of doing things, and the question is the principle of self-cultivation and family governance.
"For the officials, the people eat and eat!"
"Fool the people for the merchants!" This is to lead the topic to criticize the bad social atmosphere.
"The boss has only spoken for half a sentence, and it has already been, yes, yes, yes!"
"The subordinate plies are up to a thousand words, and they are always uh-huh, oh-oh-oh!" This is a satire of the existing status quo of officialdom and the workplace, and the upper link is about the unhealthy trend of the subordinates slapping the bosses and blinding the public, while the lower links are talking about the evil spirit of the superiors' contempt and inaction for the subordinates.
What is exposed is the false harmony within a system and the so-called "reliance" on the top and bottom.
"Love your wife, love your son, love your family, and if you don't love your body, it's equal to zero!"
"There is money, power and success, there is no health and nothing!"
This also talks about the simple truth that "health is a blessing" when life is struggling and paying. You have to remember to stop from time to time, slow down the pace, enjoy the family, cherish yourself, don't advance too much of today's body for tomorrow's success, don't only care about the future happiness and ignore the happiness of the present.
"Looking forward to the fairy trail, Bai Yexian, Lin Yexian, Su Yexian, I will buy drunk lakes and mountains today, non-immortals are also immortals."
"Timely and happy, spring, summer, autumn, winter to find poetry in the wind and snow, unhappy and happy."
It turns out that this pair of Shanglian has quite an article, every sentence cuts "immortal", Bai, Lin, and Su refer to Li Bai, Lin Kui and Su Shi respectively, recording a kind of otherworldly life of "buying drunk lakes and mountains", such as in fairyland; The next couplet of Wu Zhi is cut to 'music' sentence by sentence, depicting a vivid picture of the four seasons of music, and the poem in the wind and snow refers to a unique style, even if it is cold in the snow, it is still necessary to have fun in time.
This sentence comes from "Ancient and Modern Words", someone asked Zheng Qi: "Is Xiangguo a new poem?" Zheng Qi replied, "Poetry is on the back of a donkey in the wind and snow on the Baqiao......
"People were Buddhas, and people can become Buddhas?" It was Wu Zhi's turn to ask the question, and Wu Zhi pointed to the Buddhist shrine enshrined on the board.
"A woman is inferior to a maid, and a woman can be called a slave!" The Tiemen replied with the self-proclaimed name of his daughter's family, and neatly matched this "analysis of the word couplet".
"This is a riddle poem, type, you can guess, listen to it: half of it is hairy, half is light, half is flavorful and half fragrant; Half of the grass on the mountain is eaten, but half is hidden in the water. "After a long battle, the Iron Gate Daoist changed his strategy and wanted to win by surprise.
"Fish in the water, sheep on the mountain, left, west, right and east are paired. One doesn't eat mountain grass, and the other doesn't hide in the water. Wu Zhi groaned slightly, still answering more than a poem, and pointed out that the riddle was a "fresh" word.
"Yan's father carries the sun and the moon on the street to sell, and the loving mother grinds the world day and night. Excuse me, boy, what kind of business is this talking about? ”
"Old man, I answered with a riddle poem, listen well, the riddle is the answer you want, what about the riddle, hit two names: fried tofu!"
"Fried tofu? Just four words? "The Iron Gate Daoist kept touching his beard.
"Just four words."
"Two names?"
"Two names!"
"There it is! I replied with a couplet: Li Bai fried tofu, bit the yellow cover, and ...... the white inside" The Tie Fei Taoist thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with the answer to the riddle, and also came up with a couplet who thought he was impeccable, so he was particularly proud.
However, he was relaxed, but he really stumped Wu Zhi as he expected. The two of them have been competing in this round, becoming more and more witty, and the previous poem of the Iron Gate Taoist compares tofu with "sun and moon", and uses "Qiankun" as a grinding handle, which vividly and humorously reflects the life of craftsmen who make a living from tofu.
And Wu Zhi's answer to "fried tofu" directly picked out this industry, and at the same time hid the names of two historical figures in this simple four words, because after the tofu is fried just right, it will appear to be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, white and tender on the inside, and the outside is covered by clothes made of a layer of golden oil, just in response to the "white inside" and "yellow cover", I thought that he could kill the iron doorman, but I didn't expect him to struggle for a while, and the ghost made the god send him, not only answered the answer, but then borrowed the question to play, and said casually" Li Bai fried tofu, bit the yellow cover, and Li Bai "returned to the rhythm of pairs, and this casually turned out to be a sharp crooked move, which was really not good for matching, and almost forced himself into a dead end......
If you really dig a pit yourself, do you want to bury yourself in it......
This old man is really ruthless enough!
Is it just like this, he will be checkmated?
Wu Zhi was unwilling and pondered.
Oh, I knew that I wouldn't pretend to be forced before, and I would just answer a "Su Xiaomei's tribula groom Qin Shaoyou" directly, and it would be over, and the same could point out the question of "tofu", touching on the line of the couplet of the iron doorman......
Because "teasing" is "tofu"!
What should I do now, is it necessary to prove that the sentence "ginger is old and spicy" can't be fulfilled?
Suddenly—
"There it is! Han Hong eats watermelon, wraps blacks, and contains red! Wu Zhi happily came out of the lower link, and at the same time, he also added two names to the next link, and one corresponds to the present, and the other corresponds to the ancient, hehe, so that you can also know what the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
"Bao Heizi, I know, the famous Longtuge University scholar Bao Zheng, a good official in the Renzong period, but who is Han Hong?" The Iron Gate Daoist is a little disobedient.
"It's a personal name anyway! Just because you don't know doesn't mean no one knows......"
"Okay, you've got it!"
Again!
One of the two does not admit defeat, and the other does not believe in evil!
The Iron Daoist rolled up his sleeves, while Wu Zhi put his hands behind his back, the Iron Daoist kept stroking his beard, and Wu Zhi raised his head high.
"The five sons of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Mozi have been famous through the ages!"
"The six kingdoms of South Korea, Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Yan were prominent for a while."
"Zhou Yu looks at the small bridge and flowing water!" This couplet is not only the artistic conception of the picture, but also implies two names, namely Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, who are husband and wife.
"Shan Yu forced Zhaojun out of the plug!" The lower link also has a picture artistic conception, and the artistic conception is just the opposite of the upper link, if the upper link is written about sex x happiness, the lower link is desolate, and it also implies two characters, namely Wang Zhaojun and her Hun husband. —Note II
Note 1: Inbound: One refers to talking and speculating, and being in good spirits. The second refers to the joy of men and women. This refers to the second meaning.
Note 2: Some of the couplets or poems in the text have been edited and processed by me, or adapted, which cannot be found on the Internet. For example, Li Bai and Han Hong are my own right, and Zhaojun's exit is also my right. And the beginning of the chapter is the introduction to the book, which I wrote before I started the book.
