Chapter 1020 Now Specialized in Jinwu Zang Meijiao (I)

After the Fujian monk finished speaking, he hurriedly explained: "In the sixth year of Xianping (1003 AD), Jianzhou (now Jianou) maritime merchant Zhou Shichang was drifted to Japan by the sea breeze, and the merchants of our country (Japan) took in the **** businessman, and seven years later, the Japanese businessman Fujikiyoshi accompanied Zhou Shichang to return to China. The emperor (Song Zhenzong) asked about Japanese customs, and Fujiki Yoshishi wrote this poem to answer the question. ”

Zhao Xing shook his head when he heard this answer. There are a few words he knows the origin of, such as "sake", which means rice wine, which is called "mash" in modern China, and this brewing method was introduced to Japan during the Jin Dynasty.

The word "脍" is also Chinese, that is, the "脍" of "脍popular people", which was also introduced to Japan in the Jin Dynasty. As for the "golden sword", it refers to the bronze knife given by Cao Pi to the Wa Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms era, and the Wa people called this knife "Heavenly Cloud Sword".

The "golden knife purple scales" mentioned in this poem means by the Japanese: use the golden knife given by **** to cut the Chinese meal - purple scales.

The Japanese merchant Fujikiyoshi chose the words "sake", "guan" and "golden knife" here to express to Song Zhenzong that Japan even respected the Han and Tang dynasties in terms of eating habits - but he played the harp to the cow at the time, because most Song people did not know about it......

However, the noblewoman's words did not "talk about the piano to the cow", Zhao Xing understood: the other party was complaining that he was a gentleman again, "reaching out in the coffin to die and asking for money", or robbing by fire.

Zhao Xing smiled indifferently, and asked with a poem: "The golden crow is in the West House, the drums are urging a short life, there is no guest host on the spring road, and I will leave home tonight." ”

Zhao Xing's sentence has made several detours, if he is not extremely familiar with Han and Tang culture and Chinese allusions, he may not know what Zhao Xing said. This way of speaking around the bend is thought by the Song people to be "subtle" and "modest", and the Japanese people think it is "elegant". Before his words fell, a room full of high-ranking Japanese officials and Chinese "Su crazy fans" cheered in unison, and they violently tapped their thighs with folding fans in their hands to show their appreciation for this sentence.

They were so excited because the poem was written by a Japanese man, it was written hundreds of years ago, and the author was Prince Otsu of Japan.

He was executed for treason, and before his death, he composed this "Death Poem".

But in fact, this poem is a paid poem, and it is sung with the "Death Poem" of Jiang Wei, a five-generation person. When Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was in power, Jiang Wei was denounced by the villain who invited merit for using the incident to satirize the government, and was sentenced to death.

There is no hotel in Huangquan, who will stay tonight? ”

In the poem, Jiang Wei sees death as a journey, so much so that he asks innocent questions such as "whose house will you stay at tonight?"

To be honest, Jiang Wei's poems are much better than those of Prince Dajin, but Zhao Xing's answer here with the poems of Prince Dalu is also a disguised flattery. What he used this poem to illustrate is: My teacher Su Shi was also denounced by Shen Kuo for writing poems, and almost stepped into the back road of Jiang Wei, and I risked my life for the teacher's life, and brought **** "Jin Wu" to the "Western Kingdom", but you asked me to send letters to the war-torn Kanto, "Whose house to stay at tonight" I don't know, you still care about the question of whether you have money with me - the money is what I should earn, and I got it in exchange for my life.

This poem by Prince Otsu has an unparalleled place in the history of Japanese literature. When Zhao Xing first arrived in Japan, he asked out of caution

The work of a famous local poet, at this time at the time of the rise of samurai culture, this poem, which is full of calmness in the face of death, was immediately introduced. So much so that Zhao Xing didn't remember the famous poems in "Ancient and Modern Collection" and "Pillow Grass Collection", but remembered it alone.

Zhao Xing's fawning was very effective. At this time, the Japanese were full of admiration for ****, and suddenly a **** raised a son to recite their favorite poem, which made them feel very honored, so they were not enough to express their feelings unless they cheered violently...... Well, as a result, they all forgot what they were arguing about...... As a result, the more intense they cheered, the more the noble lady thought that if she didn't give money, she didn't give a lot of money, and she was simply embarrassed to live.

Aren't they applauding the high payouts they're about to pay...... Well, everybody forgot about that.

"So-**** people, you say, what do you want?" The lady asked cheerfully.

******************************

Two days later, Su Shi was returning to the Snow Hall with Wang Gong, and a large brick house had been erected on the east side of the Snow Hall, near the river. The workers also built a small bamboo shed on the brick roof.

The exterior walls of this brick house were not decorated in the slightest, and the interior walls were smooth, and Su Shi felt that the walls seemed to be different from ordinary mud, faintly tinged with gray. It made him curious.

Mrs. Wang greeted her happily and said with sincere appreciation: "This group of children is really working so fast. Lo and behold, they also put up a shed for you on the roof, saying that you could sit on the roof and watch the scenery. ”

Wang Gong looked at Su Dongpo's house, which obviously did not conform to the style of the time, and was very interested, and he pulled Su Shi around with great interest.

A wooden ladder spirals up the exterior wall to the roof. Wang Gong and Su Dongpo stood at the end of the wooden ladder, watching a few workers busy. Cheng Wang stood at the top of the stairs and explained while blocking the two: "Master, the mud on the roof is not hard yet, and you can't step on it yet...... Tomorrow, tomorrow will be fine. ”

Su Dongpo's eyes fell on the busy workers. A worker is squatting there to smear mud, and another is mixing white lime into the mud. He shook his head, pointed to the lime and said, "That's not right, your teacher once asked me about the limestone, but his usage is wrong, this thing shouldn't be mixed into the mud, it should be brushed up when the mud is dry." ”

Cheng Wang replied: "Master, this is right, the teacher specially explained." It is said that the roof can be plastered with such plaster, so that it can be stepped on at will, and it does not leak rain. ”

A clattering pulley sound blocked Su Dongpo's question, he looked over along the sound, and found that a wooden frame had been built in the corner of the house, and a pulley was tied to the shelf. With the sound of pulleys, a large bucket of water swayed up to the roof, and the workers removed the bucket from the pulley and lowered the hook...... After a while, a bundle of bamboo mats was hoisted up by the pulley.

Wang Gongyi pulled Su Dongpo's sleeve and said, "Let's go...... You're right, this disciple is really proficient in miscellaneous science, and he is not generally proficient. ”

He was talking about Zhao Xing. Although Zhao Xing was not at the scene, the house was built under the leadership of Zhao Xing's disciples. Looking at those children who look like little adults, and who are familiar with the way of commanding craftsmen, they have erected such a brick house in two days, so it can be imagined that they have done similar things more than once.
