Chapter 34 Joy of Teaching and Learning Like a Master and Apprentice
The tired bird has returned to its nest, and it is time for the sisters to stay.
The sisters took turns bathing so that they could take care of their belongings.
Before going to bed, Qingqing suggested playing a puzzle game for a while, and Ling'er readily agreed.
"Why does 6 plus 8 equal 1?" Qingqing tilted his head and asked.
Ling'er thought for a while and said, Then I'll test you too: "Why is 12 plus 12 equal to 1!" Ling'er was not to be outdone.
"Ghost elf, do you already know the answer?" Qingqing asked happily.
"yes, 24 hours a day."
"Why is 1 equal to 4?" asked Qingqing again.
"Well, I don't know." Ling'er touched her head and said.
"Actually, you can figure it out with a little brain. Think about it: how many seasons are there in a year? ”
"Oh, there are four seasons."
"I'll test you again on a heavy topic: Why is 1 equal to 3? It's a big question about life. ”
"Sister, do you know life? I would like to hear about it. ”
"Life seems to be long, but in fact, there are only three links, that is, 'life', 'love' and 'death'." Qingqing said solemnly.
As soon as she heard the word "death", Ling'er suddenly remembered her parents and was saddened.
"Sister, in fact, I think we were born as human beings, we are already very happy, thanks to our parents for giving us a healthy life, with this, I am very satisfied, for those who ask their parents to ask their parents for that, I am the first to look down on them. I have summed up one sentence: 'Since I have a soul, the cultivation is in the individual', and as for the next two major links, it will happen naturally, but we must pursue the second one with our hearts. Qingqing said seriously, "Sister, don't be sad, your parents are gone, and I will be your family in the future." Ling'er seemed to be a little relieved.
"Here, let's hug it." The two sisters hugged each other tightly, and Ling'er held back the tears of missing her loved ones.
"Okay, I understand, we don't have to ask too much of our parents, we have to fight for ourselves in the future." Ling'er seems to have grown up a lot all of a sudden.
The sisters soon fell asleep.
After breakfast, after spending 240 copper coins, I arrived at Qingqing in XA County and proposed to visit a wise man to introduce the places of interest and customs of Xin'an.
Someone helped introduce an old Mr. Zhang.
Qingqing arched his hand and said, "Mr. Su Wen is highly respected and has learned from the past and the present, how about introducing this place to my sisters?" ”
"The girl is a studious person, I would like to explain it in detail."
"Then there's Mr. Law."
"Xin'an is one of the main birthplaces of Heluo culture, and the history can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. Extrapolating from Qin Shizhi County, it has a history of more than 1,000 years. As early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese nation lived and multiplied here, creating a brilliant ancient civilization and Chinese culture. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were active in this area, so people also called Xin'an "the mountains and rivers in the surface", "the hometown of the emperor", "the ancestor of China", and "the root of the Yan Emperor". There are many Yangshao cultural sites in the territory, including the famous national key cultural relics protection unit, the country's largest epitaph museum - Qiantang Zhizhai, as well as Hanhan Guguan, Wang Qiao Cave, Dongzhen Temple and other cultural landscapes. "Poetry Saint" Du Fu's "Three Officials and Three Farewells" in the "Xin'an Officials" was written in Xin'an, perhaps the poet would not have thought that his sour stroke would become the backdrop and accent of today's prosperity. ”
"Excuse me, sir, is Wang Qiao a person from that dynasty?" Qingqing humbly asks for advice.
Wang Qiao is undoubtedly the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Wang Qiao Cave" is dug by the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xie Wan Xia Gong Cave is interconnected, the former Xie Wan Cave is dug to avoid chaos, the Xia Gong Cave is dug for the "good deeds" for "Wang Qiao", and for the stone statue, the two holes communicate with each other in and out, and the rest of the decay is not clear. ”
"Thank you, sir, for your doubts."
"The mountains are high, there are many ridges, the river valley is broken, there are seven ridges, two mountains, and one river", "this is the geomorphological characteristics of Xin'an. ”
"It's quite changeable, and the earth spirit can be a master." Qingqing sighed.
"May I ask if this is the 'Emperor's Hometown', can you elaborate on this?"
"The tenacity of the ancestors, the piety of the Yellow Emperor to sacrifice to the sky, the detachment of Lao Tzu riding a green ox into the customs, the heroism of Yang Fu moving the Hanguan, and the sigh of Du Fu worrying about the country and the people; The Yellow Emperor's secret capital Qingyao Mountain, the Taoist holy land Jingzi Mountain, the Rotten Ke Mountain, the dangerous Hanhan Valley Pass, the stone carving Tang Shuqian Tang Zhizhai...... The world is long, the wind and clouds are turbulent, Mu Ziqi, Phi Qinyue, Fu Han Battlement, Northern Wei Grottoes, and Song Yun of the Tang Dynasty...... On the land of Xin'an, you can listen to a moving story when you pick up a handful of water; Grab a handful of loess, and you can feel the rhythm of the pulse of history. ”
"What a Xin'an that shook the past and the present! Sir, can you tell us a little bit about the historical allusion of Yang Fu's transfer of the letter? Qingqing pleased.
"Then I will first talk about the great significance of Hangu Pass, Hangu Pass is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses built in Chinese history, here was the ancient battlefield where war horses neighed, known as 'one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open'. This is also the place where Lao Tzu, an ancient thinker and philosopher, wrote the 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching". For thousands of years, many Taoists and Taoists at home and abroad have made pilgrimages here to worship their ancestors.
Yang Fu, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, a native of XA County, has two things in his life that are most passed down to later generations, namely moving east to Hangu Pass and going south to quell the rebellion. According to historical records, in 112 BC, Yang Fu was named the general of Lou Chuan, led the naval army, and pacified the Nanyue Kingdom together with Lu Bode's army, and was named the Marquis of Liang for his military exploits. At that time, Hangu Pass mainly referred to Qin Pass, that is, Qin Hangu Pass in Lingbao North. Strangely, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not give him a fief in the Guanzhong region west of Qinhangu Pass, and let him be a marquis east of Qinhangu Pass. In history, the Marquis of Guanzhong was more orthodox and had status, and he became the only 'Marquis of Guanwai', so he suggested to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the Qinhan Valley Pass be moved 300 miles eastward to the location of today's Hanhan Valley Pass in Xin'an. Moving a militarily significant pass 300 li east would not only help expand the Gyeonggi region, but also strengthen the ability of the pass to balance the region. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gladly accepted that this was the famous story of 'moving east to Hanguguan' in history. ”
"It seems that Yang Fu is really the hero of my Han Dynasty, worthy of the 'great husband and true hero', worthy of being the 'essence of the universe' and the 'primate of all things', but this is also due to the wise decision of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"Yes, the girl is very insightful!" The old gentleman exclaimed.
"Buy dried cherries! Sweet and sour dried cherries! A girl was carrying a basket of dried cherries and shouting loudly, and the crumpled fruit was dark red and red, giving off a nice smell.
"Girl, how do you sell this?" Qingqing asked curiously.
"A pound of silver."
"Alright then, two pounds." Qingqing plans to give Mr. a catty.
"Thank you girl for being so cheerful."
"I should thank you, this cherry has to be dried as a fruit, I don't know how much energy it will waste." Qingqing said to the girl sincerely.
The two sisters invited their husband to eat together, and suddenly felt a lot of relish.
"Sir, why do these cherries smell so good and delicious?"
"Because this is a cherry produced in the northern part of XA County, the soil, climate and other natural conditions in Wutou, Cijian and other towns are very suitable for large-grain cherry planting, and the cherry planting in Wutou Town has a history of many years."
The two sisters listened to the stories told by the husband as they went.
Come to the stall selling strange stones.
"Sister, these stones are so amazing, or let's give them a name before leaving."
"Of course."
"Brother Tai, shall I choose a name for your strange stone?"
"Wow, please." Boss Qishi said excitedly.
"This is called 'mushrooming after the rain.'" Ling'er said with certainty.
"It's called the rising sun." Qingqing said proudly.
"The strange stones of the Yellow River are naturally formed, and they have ornamental, playful and collectible value." The gentleman patiently explained.
"Oh, maybe the fickle human heart is not as definite as a stone." Qingqing sighed worriedly.
"Is the Second Emperor of Yan and Huang really a legend or a legend?" Qingqing asked.
"The two emperors of Yan and Huang are just legendary figures, and their inventions and creations are also the crystallization of the wisdom of the sons and daughters of the Yellow River in ancient times, but as the symbol of the ancestors of the Chinese nation and the embodiment of the founder of Chinese civilization, they are still infinitely respected and remembered by future generations. Therefore, in the Yellow River Basin and the land of China beyond the Yellow River Basin, there have been many legends about the Yan and Huang Emperors, and many places of interest related to them have been left behind. ”
"Is this the only area where they have their victories?"
"Girl, far more than that, in addition to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in SXHL County and the Yandi Temple and Yandi Mausoleum in BJ City, the more famous ones are Jingling Palace in SD Qufu, the Yellow Emperor's hometown in Xinzheng, the Temple of Heaven in Wangwushan in Jiyuan, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Lingbao Jingshan, the Yellow Emperor's City and Huangdi Spring in Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor's Temple and Xuanhuangtai in SC Dujiangyan, the Xuanxuan Palace and the Ancestral Tomb in Yanting, the Xuanyuan Peak of Huangshan in AH Huangshan, the Xuanyuan Terrace in Yueyang, the Xiandu Dinghu Peak in Jinyun in ZJ, the Wendao Palace in Pingliang in GS, Xiling Mountain in Yichang in HB, Ancestral Temple, Shennong Temple in Suizhou, Shennong City and Shennongjing in SX Gaoping, Shennong Wugutai in Huaiyang, Statue of Emperor Yan and Huang in Zhengzhou, Emperor Yandi Mausoleum in HNYL County, etc. ”
"These long-standing legends and places of interest have played an immeasurable role in enhancing the sense of identity of the Chinese nation, stimulating the national pride of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and enhancing the cohesion of the Chinese nation." Qingqing sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Sir, 'Confucianism is the treasure of the country, and Shi is the guest of honor', thank you for telling me so much valuable knowledge today, this is your honorarium, please accept it."
After that, Ling'er had already given 10 taels of silver to both hands, and Qingqing also gave a pound of dried cherries to Mr. who had left it on purpose, and said softly: "Please give the old lady a taste." ”
"This, this, makes the old man ashamed!" The gentleman was so moved that he wanted to shed tears.
"Sir, you don't have to be humble, you have to be like my young lady, who is talented and arrogant, and even the Jade Emperor is not in his eyes." Ling'er played the round playfully naughtily.
