Chapter 1099: The Legend of Double Happiness
This stone ladder is not too high, about six or seven meters in total, and there is a round stone like a manhole cover at the top of the stone ladder that blocks the exit.
He turned his head and looked around, the place where the stone staircase was built resembled a small storeroom, the space was not large, and it was very shady, mainly acting as a connection, and in the corner of the wall were some messy miscellaneous items, and some rusty ironware.
Wu Yi walked over to take a look, and found a few complete books inside, books are of great cultural value to the archaeological community, and they can also play a great role in studying the culture of the ancients, but because the paper is easy to weathered over time, there are not many books unearthed in the ancient tombs over the years.
At this time, Wu Yi was still a little surprised to see such a well-preserved book here, and carefully picked up a copy, only to find that this book was very rough to the touch, it was printed on hemp paper, hemp paper is made of bast fibers of hemp plants, it is not easy to be damaged, and the toughness is also very good, no wonder these books can be preserved so far and have not become a puddle of mud.
I looked at the title of the book again and smiled Wu Yi, this is still a book from the Song Dynasty, the book is called "Luoyang Jingentry Old News Collection", and the rest of the books are also of the same kind, "The Biography of Concubine Mei", "Blowing Sword Record", "The Biography of Master Li" has everything.
Wu Yi has also heard of one or two of these names, which can be regarded as more popular during the Song Dynasty at that time, and it is still somewhat famous until now, when Wu Yi followed his father to the capital to visit Panjiayuan, he also used to buy a copy in Panjiayuan, but it was a new book reprinted and old, I didn't expect to be able to meet the real thing in the ancient tomb today.
Wu Yi wanted to laugh a little, it seems that the contractor in ancient times was also quite empty, just like the current contractor always likes to play mahjong in the office, they are actually nested in the ancient tomb.
Wu Yi flipped through a few pages at random, and put away these books, a total of eight, this thing is a jump goods, of course it is not worth much if you don't like it, but if you meet a collector of ancient books, it is a treasure with no price, even if it can't be sold in the end, it is displayed in your own antique shop, it is also a beautiful landscape, and there is naturally no reason not to accept it.
Holding a few books, Wu Yigang wanted to go back to see how Ye Wuxin was doing, but when he looked up, he saw a few rows of crooked fonts on the wall, blowing off the dust on them, and only then did he see that the word "Xi" was written.
These "Xi" characters are not the same, obviously not written by the same person, like the people at that time were here to compete to see who wrote well, but their calligraphy is obviously not very good, written one by one like a worm crawling, seeing these, Wu Yi is a little smacked, there is a folk saying called "Jin has three are endowed with Luoyang paper expensive, Song has Wang Anshi double happiness full of wall", it seems that it is really not without a target.
Everyone should know the meaning of the first half of this sentence, there was a literary scholar named Zuo Si in the Jin Dynasty, he spent ten years to write a book of ancient strange books "Sandu Fu" based on the climate, human feelings and products of the capital of Wei, Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.
Because printing had not yet been invented at that time, and there were too many people copying, the paper in the capital Luoyang was in short supply, and the price of paper in the city rose sharply for a while.
As for the second half of the sentence "Song has Wang Anshi and is full of happiness", it is a more interesting story.
It is said that in the seventh year of the emperor's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Song Dynasty posted notices all over the country that he was going to open examinations across the country to select talents.
When Wang Anshi walked to Wangjiaying, he happened to see a large family crowded in front of the door, and the traffic was busy.
Miss Ma, the daughter of Ma Yuanwai, is a well-known local talented woman, proficient in poetry and songs, Wang Anshi has also heard of it for a long time, and has admired it for a long time, so he stepped forward and prepared to give it a try.
I saw a beautifully decorated marquee hanging in front of Miss Ma's house, and a pair of couplets flashed on the lampβ
"The marquee is gone, the marquee is gone, and the lights are stopped"
If anyone can match the next couplet, it will be recruited as the son-in-law of the Ma family.
Wang Anshi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a suitable answer, and the exam was imminent, so he didn't dare to delay more time, so he continued on the road.
In the examination room, Wang Anshi played to the fullest, the answer sheet was very good, others did not write half of it, he handed in the paper, the chief examiner at that time saw Wang Anshi answer the paper so quickly, he intended to test his knowledge, pointed to the flying tiger flag in front of the examination room and said,
"Flying Tiger Flag, Tiger Flag Flying, Flag Rolling Tiger Hide"
When Wang Anshi heard it at the time, he also knew that the examiner wanted to test his depth, and he thought of the horse lantern outside the horseman's house, so he replied without thinking, "The horse lantern goes, the horse lantern goes, and the lantern stops."
The examiner pondered for a few seconds, his face was overjoyed, and seeing that Wang Anshi was so talented and quick at a young age, he finally put his exam paper on the top.
On the way back to his hometown after the exam, Wang Anshi passed by the door of the horseman's house, and saw that the couplet was still not matched, so he stepped forward and wrote the following couplet:
"Flying Tiger Flag, Tiger Flag Flying, Flag Rolling Tiger Hide"
Wang Anshi's handwriting dragon and phoenix dance, the pen is like a god, the font is strong, the battle is neat, and he naturally became the son-in-law of the Ma family.
A few days later, Wang Anshi and Miss Ma got married, and on the same day, people outside the gate shouted joyfully, and two newspapers reported loudly:
"Lord Wang's official star is high, the title of the gold list, the first champion, early tomorrow morning, the emperor summons, please go to the Qionglin banquet!"
On the same day, Wang Anshi can be described as a proud horse's hoof, not only successfully won the first place, but also married a beautiful daughter, which is really happy!
So, he wrote two big red "Xi" words in a row, linked them together and pasted them on the door, and recited a poem.
"The coincidental couplet becomes a red double happiness, and the sky and the earth prove the knot. The title of the gold list is the night of the cave room, and the small Dengke meets the big Dengke! β
This incident was a very sensational at that time, and the good story became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, so from that time on, some people began to imitate each other, and whenever there was a festive holiday, it would be on the door and utensils with a big red "ε" word, which was a good omen.
Even many children, when they are usually idle, like to carve the word "Xi" on the wall, one is fresh, and the other is fun.
Therefore, in the streets and alleys at that time, the word "Xi" could be seen almost everywhere on the wall, and there was a later saying that "Jin has three capitals to give Luoyang paper expensive, and Song has Wang Anshi and Wang Anshi are full of happiness".
Wu Yi used to think that this was a bit exaggerated, it is very likely that Wang Anshi deliberately hyped himself up in order to improve his influence when he changed the law back then, but at this time, he saw that even the tomb wall in the ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty was engraved with a large number of "Xi" characters, Wu Yi was also a little dumbfounded, this rumor, it is really true!
Then, Wu Yi didn't stay here for long, turned around and walked back to the stone room, as soon as he entered, he happened to see Ye Wuxin standing up by himself holding on to the wall, and stomping his feet and walking a few steps, it seemed that there was no big problem.
