Chapter 1: Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West
The rank of ancient official position is the ancient official position, which involves the signature of the official, the name of the official, and the position of the official. The situation was different from dynasty to dynasty, and the official position was also different. However, it can be broadly divided into two categories: central and local official positions.
Local official positions: In the Qin and Han dynasties, the main administrative region was the county, the governor of the county, Qin called the county guard, and the Han called the Taishou; The main administrative regions of the Sui and Tang dynasties were prefectures, and the state officials were called Thorn History, and the subordinate officials were Changshi and Sima; In the Tang Dynasty, in some important military towns, there were envoys with festivals, and subordinate officials included marching horses, staff officers, and secretaries; In the Song Dynasty, the state officials were called Zhizhou, and the county officials were called Zhixian.
From the Yuan Dynasty onwards, a new system of administrative divisions emerged in China, with the highest level of administrative divisions being the provinces [abbreviated as provinces]. Each province has a prime minister, from a product; Pingzhang political affairs [provincial governor] two members, from the first product; One member of the right, one member of the left, and two products; Participate in the governor's affairs [member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee] two members, from the second grade.
The provincial government handles government affairs in a group of officials and implements the system of group officials being responsible and meeting in circles, that is, through the collective meeting of provincial officials to be jointly responsible, the officials have a division of labor, cooperate with each other, and contain each other, and each provincial official cannot exercise power independently, but must be assisted and restrained by other colleagues.
The Yuan Dynasty is divided into nine grades, each of which is divided into positive and subordinate grades, with a total of 18 grades. Since most of the officials in the government in the Yuan Dynasty were Mongol nobles, their rank was one level higher than that of other dynasties.
[1] "Song of the Rose" Li Jilan. poem
Liu Yun, whose name is Pingyao, is the governor of Jiangxi Province.
Her wife, Bai, is the only daughter of an old Xiucai. Although the old father-in-law has a full stomach in his life, he has never been able to pass on his knowledge to his daughter.
In the second year of marriage, Bai also gave birth to a daughter to Liu Yun, and in order to express the harmony between husband and wife, he named him Haohao.
The little girl is not only handsome, but also has a very smart brain, her parents regard it as a treasure, and carefully teach her poetry, calligraphy and painting, needlework, and red, and want to cultivate a good girl with both ability and political integrity.
One day, Liu Yun was resting in the courtyard with her six-year-old daughter in her arms. Seeing his daughter's cute appearance, he suddenly became interested and wanted to test his daughter's talent, so he casually pointed to a rose in the corner of the wall and teased: "Can you make poems?" Xiao Haohao's pink little face showed a childish childlike interest, smiled crisply, and said in passing:
The low tree wins the leaves, and the light fragrance increases self-passage;
After a long time, the mood is chaotic.
[่ฎตjรนๅฒ]
Liu Yun was shocked when he heard this. This surprise is that at such a young age, he knows how to use the literary expression technique of "homophony", which is extraordinary; The second surprise is that the sentence "frame", homophonic "marry", this is a song of roses, and secretly it is a woman to be married.
Little girl, just think of getting married? Liu Yun's sixth sense predicted that it was not good, and he couldn't help but sigh: "That's it, this girl is unusually smart and has bizarre ideas, and I'm afraid it will take a lot more thought for my daughter's growth." Liu Yun's face was full of worry.
[2] "Re-sending Pei Lang to Depreciate Jizhou" Liu Changqing. poem
The ape cries and scatters the twilight river,
People are self-sad, and the water flows freely;
The same as the prince goes farther,
A lonely boat in the green mountains.
In the third year of Yuan Zhizhi [1323], Liu Yun was transferred to the capital as an official.
But he was an upright man and spoke straightforwardly, and as a result, he offended the powerful people of the dynasty. After staying in the capital for less than a year, together with his colleagues, one was demoted to Gansu, and he was demoted to Sichuan.
[3] "The Girl is Ashamed" Book of Poetry
The girl is ashamed, and the years are worry-free.
Slender steps, exquisite and unique in the world.
After coming to Chengdu, Liu Hao fell in love with this "land of abundance" all of a sudden, and Chengtian was carefree.
She looked at the free clouds in the sky and said with emotion, "There are so many beautiful places in the world! I want to be a white cloud and be able to drift freely. She gave herself the name "Yunyan".
After his father Liu Yun came to Chengdu, he had nothing to do.
One day, he was enjoying the shade under the plane tree in the courtyard, and he suddenly realized when he looked at the plane tree, and chanted: "The court removes an ancient tree, and it rises into the clouds." โ
Xiao Haohao was playing in the yard, she didn't raise her head, and casually continued her father's poem: "The branches welcome the birds from the north and south, and the leaves send the wind to and fro." โ
The father was very happy, because his daughter's sequel poem was neat and cleverly conceived, and it really lived up to his usual teachings. But I added a lot of worries in my heart, because if I broke this sequel poem and looked at "welcoming the birds from the north and the south, sending the wind to and fro", isn't this dust? This couldn't help but add more worries to him.
[4] "Eight-year-old Peeking in the Mirror" Li Shangyin. poem
At the age of eight, he peeked in the mirror, and his long eyebrows could already be drawn.
At the age of ten, he went to the green, and Hibiscus was used as a skirt.
Twelve learned to play the kite, and the silver armor was never unloaded.
Fourteen Tibetans and six relatives, unmarried.
Fifteen crying spring breeze, under the swing on the back.
Eight-year-old Xiao Hao already knows that she loves to dress up.
She often quietly ran to her mother's dresser, secretly painted herself a long thin eyebrows, and when she went out and was bumped into by her mother, her mother would look at her angrily, and Xiao Hao hurriedly ran away shyly.
On a late spring morning, the breeze blows.
Liu Hao and a few friends came to Kumho to play, and the bold Liu pretended to be a lotus fairy. She took off her skirt and wrapped the lotus leaves around her body, with her blushing cheeks, she really looked like a blooming lotus flower.
The partners teased her: "The Minjiang River is singing a song, do you dare to wear it like this to sing to the song?" โ
Liu Hao was provoked by his partners, and really came to the riverside wearing lotus leaves.
[5] "Two Bamboo Branch Words. One of them" Liu Yuxi. Poetry Hong Chen. Qu Huo Zun. song
Yangliu Qingqing River level,
Hear the singing of Lang Jiang.
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west,
The Tao is sunny but sunny.
The lively riverside, the willows are green. In this beautiful spring, people dance and sing the eastern Sichuan folk song "Bamboo Branches". They are accompanied by drums and piccolos to sing about the good life and innocent love.
On the mirror-like river, a small boat floated leisurely, and a white-clothed young man on the boat looked at Liu Hao's costume, and his singing voice was so beautiful.
Hearing the young man's singing, Liu Haohao's face turned red and his ears red, why did he have such a state of mind? Is the boy affectionate or ruthless to himself? Even though the boat was far away, the song still echoed in her ears.
[6] "Remembering the Dead Father" Zhou Shuran. poem
I thought about my relatives and cried all night, and the dawn was restored.
Afraid of hurting the mother's mind, secretly flowing to the pillow.
In the third year of Yuan Taiding [1326], the governor of Yuanjiang Road [now Yuanjiang County, Yunnan] rebelled.
At that time, the Yuanjiang River was very large, and almost all the areas on the east bank of the Lancang River and the west bank of the Red River were included in the jurisdiction of Yuanjiang Road.
The imperial court ordered Liu Yun to send an envoy to Yuanjiang. But unfortunately, Liu Yun's health was not very good at that time, so Liu Bai had to take Liu Hao to Yunnan with him in order to take good care of his body.
They were placed in the inn.
On the third day of arriving at the post station, unexpectedly, Pu Shuang bombarded the post station with a cannon. With a loud bang, the house collapsed, and Liu Yun hurriedly used her body to protect her daughter, so that Liu Yun could save her life, but Liu Yun was seriously injured and died soon after. At that time, Liu Hao Hao had just turned ten years old.
After they brought Liu Yun's body back to Chengdu for burial, the mother was reluctant to continue living in the old house in the city, avoiding seeing things and thinking about people. So he sold the old house, quit the servant, spent a little money, built a secluded room on the bank of Huanhua Creek, and took his daughter to live in seclusion, living a quiet life isolated from the world.
[7] "Xing Xiangzi. Trees around the village - Shang Rong Qin Guan. word
Trees surround the village, and the water fills the pond.
Leaning on the east wind, wandering in Haoxing.
The small garden is a little, and the spring is exhausted.
There is peach blossom red,
Plum flowers are white, cauliflower is yellow.
Huanhua Creek is a beautiful place. The delicate rhododendrons are interspersed among the green yellow seedling trees, which looks even more charming; The creek bank paved with cattails sets off the white rocks on the bank, which contrasts with the turquoise stream; The meandering stream flows quietly in the shade of the sycamore trees, and when the stream flows under a covered bridge, the water suddenly widens, and the stream from the south also gathers here to form a small lake.
Colourful pebbles cover the embankment at the upper end of the slope. A few white swans seem to have fallen in love here, wandering leisurely on the surface of the lake, observing the arrival of their new neighbors; The eastward water falls abruptly from the large rocks, forming a small waterfall that adds a vivid interest to the greenery.
[8] "Xing Xiangzi. Trees around the village - Xia Rong "Qin Guan. word
Far away from the wall, faint thatched hall.
Raise the green flag, next to the flowing water bridge.
Occasionally, I took advantage of the excitement and walked through the East Gang.
The warbler is crying,
Swallows dance, butterflies are busy.
Liu Haohao's home is built on the northern slope of the lake. The small courtyard is a flower wall surrounded by a wooden fence, and on the left is a pinch of emerald green bamboo, they are not willing to be lonely, some poke their heads out of the gap in the flower wall, and some simply step over from the wall. The breeze blows, the branches and leaves sway, making a rustling sound, which sets off the tranquility of this small courtyard.
The low-key and quaint earth-colored small building is outlined by the ebony-colored eaves, pillars and window lattices, and the large windows that almost reach the ground are inlaid on the wood-colored window lattices, which is more transparent. There are no large lawns in the garden, only winding stone paths and the scent of flowers scattered and inlaid along the road.
Looking up, a large area of begonias outside the yard is full of dense layers of pale red flowers, like several flying springs spraying flowers in the sun.
Liu ran forward excitedly, and some of the begonia flowers smiled happily, revealing pink "dimples"; Some begonia flowers looked at her "shyly", as if to ask her, "Why are you so beautiful?" โ
[9] "Like a Dream Order. Last night's rain and storm" Li Qingzhao. word
Last night the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden,
Heavy sleep does not kill alcohol.
Questionnaire curtain person,
But the begonias are still the same.
Know it or not, know it or not,
It should be green, fat, red and thin.
Last night's wind was very strong, and it rained lightly.
The mother and daughter worked all day and drank some wine in the evening, so they slept very deeply.
Just woke up, she was still a little drunk, and she looked lazy. Suddenly, she remembered that last night's rain was sparse and stormy, and the beloved begonia flowers experienced a night of wind and rain, and I don't know if the petals are scattered, whether they have been miserable and have become a fiasco?
The mother happened to come to her daughter's room. She rolled up the beaded curtains, and a bright sun shone into the window railing, "Little lazy worm, get up quickly, the sun is shining on your buttocks!" โ
Liu Hao only thought about her begonia tree in her heart, so she lay down in the quilt and asked timidly: "Mother, how are the begonia flowers outside?" โ
Mother looked out the window and replied nonchalantly: "Begonia flowers~ are still like that." โ
This was unexpected, and it seemed to give her an unexpected hope. Although she longs for the begonias in her heart, she also understands: after all, this is the twilight of spring, and there was a gust of wind and rain last night, and the begonia flowers will definitely not be what they were yesterday. So, she hurriedly corrected her mother's statement, "You know what? You know? The begonia tree should be full of green leaves, and there are very few flowers on the branches! โ
"Then you get up and go and see for yourself!" Mother said teasingly.
"I don't dare to look at it." "Pull up the quilt and cover your head.
[10] "Summer Pastoral Miscellaneous. The seventh" Fan Chengda. poem
The day rises and the night is hemp,
The sons and daughters of the village are in charge of their own households.
Children and grandchildren have not been solved for cultivation and weaving,
Also learn to grow melons in the shade.
In order to free his mother from the pain of losing his father, the young man made a good adjustment to the trivial and monotonous life.
My mother liked sweets, seafood and smoked food, and Liu Haohao made the meals fresh and delicious, and there were many kinds of dishes. She likes to study recipes, and when she sees strange flavors, she asks how to make them, and uses her own ingenuity to make them for her mother.
The tiger skin meat [i.e., oily meat] that people often eat now is the invention of Liu Haohao. Therefore, "Tiger Skin Meat" also has a little-known name called "Cloud Smoked Meat", although the name of this dish is a bit abrupt and beautiful, but it contrasts with "Dongpo Meat".
In addition, Liu Hao is also good at making candy. When she was in the capital, she used sesame seeds, fried noodles, starch syrup, pine nuts, peach kernels and sesame oil as raw materials to make halva, cut into four points long, two points wide, one point thick, like a square the size of a willow leaf, this kind of halva is yellow on the outside and crispy on the inside, sweet but not greasy, people call it "willow halva".
