Since it's a academy, it must be my uncle and grandfather who think that I should make up for the traditional Chinese culture here, anyway, looking at this momentum, it should be good inside, so we entered this courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I thought that this hotel must at least have a cash register or something, who would have thought that not only would there be no cash register here, but all the settings and belongings in it were moved from home one by one.

My uncle and I found someone to put our luggage in our room, and then we went to the yard and walked around. We found that this academy is different from other places, many of his books are books that we have rarely seen, and many of them are wild histories, can it be said that this academy has become more and more obscure because of the passage of time?

We came to an open study, casually flipped, did not find a satisfactory foothold, the stool under the feet was taken away, had to continue to search for books, in this pass, a book came into my sight, this book is "Youyang Miscellaneous", how can there be such a book here, and is this a real book?

First of all, we have to know what "Youyang Miscellaneous" is, "Youyang Miscellaneous" is a collection of Tang Dynasty notebook novels, with a total of 20 volumes and 10 sequels, written by Duan Chengshi (803~863). The content of this work is complex, including natural phenomena, allusions to literary texts, social sentiments, real estate resources, plants, trees, insects and fish, prescription medicine, Buddhist stories, Chinese and foreign cultures, and product exchanges. The nature of this book, according to the author's own preface, is said to belong to the Zhiwei novel, "those who are not ashamed of stubbornness, and the book of Zhiwei novels is also." "But in terms of content, it's far beyond the subject matter of Shikai. "Youyang Miscellaneous" has 20 volumes in the first volume, and 10 volumes in the sequel volume with a total of 6 articles, including: loyalty, etiquette, Tianjia, Yuge, pot history, shell compilation, strange environment, good omen, bad omen, material revolution, tricks, strange arts, art, strange instruments, music, wine and food, medicine, black, thunder, dreams, sense of things, thieves, strange things, wide knowledge, language resources, ghosts, corpses, Nuogao Ji, Guang Dongzhi, derogatory, temple tower records, etc., the content involves immortals, Buddhas, ghosts, monsters, Tao, demons, people, animals, plants, wine, food, dreams, Tomb robbing, prophecy, bad omen, thunder, funerals, tattoos, treasures, politics, court secrets, gossip, science and technology, folk customs, medicine, minerals, biology, paranormal phenomena, murals, astronomy, geography, it can be described as all-encompassing. While recounting the stories of Zhiwei, "Youyang Miscellaneous" also preserves a large number of precious historical materials, anecdotes and folk customs of the Tang Dynasty for future generations. There are "Jindai Secretary", "Xuejin Discussion Original", "Hubei Xianzheng Testament", "Four Serials" photocopied editions, etc., all of which are 30 volumes.

The author of this book classifies and catalogs the immortals, Buddhas, ghosts, people, animals, plants, wine, food, temples, etc., some of which belong to the category of legends of Zhiwei, and some of which record exotic and exotic things from all over the world, which are similar to Jin Zhanghua's "Naturalist Chronicles". His descriptions, or old news, or his own writing, "are so strange and indifferent, absurd and nonsensical, and the secret books of the posthumous texts are often wrongly written, so although the commentators are ill with their exaggeration, they cannot but quote each other" ("The General Catalogue of the Four Libraries"). Many of them are quite secluded and weird, such as the Taoist art is called "The History of the Pot", the book of banknotes and Buddhism is called "Bei Bian", the funeral is called "The Corpse", and the weird one is called "The Legend of Nuogao" and so on. In the sequel, there are 2 volumes of "The Legend of the Temple Tower", which details the architecture and murals of the Buddha Temples in Chang'an, and preserves many precious historical materials, which are used by future generations to compile the history of Chang'an. Youyang mentioned in "Youyang Miscellaneous", that is, Xiaoyoushan (in today's Yuanling, Hunan), according to legend, there are stone caves under the mountain, and there are thousands of books in it. During the Qin period, some people avoided chaos and lived in seclusion to study here. When Emperor Liang Yuan was the king of Xiangdong, he was in Jingzhou, so he could gather books, and he was endowed with the language of "Visiting Youyang". The New Tang Dynasty Book? Duan Chengshi's Biography said that Duan Chengshi was "erudite and strong, and many strange secrets", so he compared the family collection of secrets with Youyang Yidian. The content of his book is extensive and complex, so it is named "Youyang Miscellaneous".

Among them, Li Yuan's spirit and courage are written: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of people who broke the grass for no reason. and the Dragon Gate Battle, with all the arrows in one room, and eighty people. "This is something that does not exist in the canonical history. For another example, Luo Bingwang's "Seeking Wu Cao" was passed to Wu Zetian: "Then Tianlan and 'Moth Mei refuses to let people, and the fox can confuse the master', just smile." To 'a handful of soil has not dried, and the six feet of solitude are safe', exclaiming: 'How can the prime minister gain or lose such a person'. "It's a stroke of genius. There are also stories such as Li Bai asking Gao Lishi to take off his boots, and Wang Bo writing articles that are beaten in the quilt, etc., which are even more popular and widely circulated.

From the perspective of the history of Chinese novels, the most valuable part of "Youyang Miscellaneous" is the Zhiwei novel. Lu Xun once spoke highly of it, believing that this book was "competing with the legendary novels of the Tang Dynasty". At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Songling, a native of Zichuan, wrote the famous collection of Zhiwei novels "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", which pushed this genre to a peak. It should be said that "Youyang Miscellaneous" is an important work of the six dynasties, the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, which has had a great impact on later generations. The "Summary of the Four Libraries" compiled by Ji Yun and others in the Qing Dynasty pointed out: "His books are many strange and indifferent, absurd and nonsensical. And the cheats of the testament are often wrong. Therefore, although the commentator is ill with its exaggeration, it cannot but be cited by each other, and since the Tang Dynasty, it has been promoted as the leader of novels. ”

"Youyang Miscellaneous? There is a plot in "Tianjia", which is vivid and twisty, quite literary, similar to the story in "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", which is about the year of Yongzhen, the people of Dongshi Wang Bu, who knows books, Tibetan swaddling tens of millions, businessmen, and travelers. There are fourteen or fifteen years of women, gorgeous and intelligent. The two orifices of the nose are like honey locust seeds, and their roots are like twine, which are inches long, and they hurt the heart to the touch. His father broke millions of dollars, and he couldn't bear it. One day, a Buddhist monk begged for food, because he asked the cloth: "I know that the monarch and the girl have a strange disease, but when I see it, I can stop it." "When Bou was overjoyed, he saw his daughter. The monk takes the medicine, the color is white, blows in his nose, a little clear, takes it off, and produces a little yellow water, and there is no suffering. Platinum of the Cloth Reward. The Buddhist monk said: "Those who cultivate the Tao are not subject to generosity. Only beg for this polyp. Then he cherished it and left, and walked as fast as flying. Bu also means its sages and saints. Ji monk went to five or six squares, and there was a young man, as beautiful as a crown of jade, riding a white horse, and then he knocked on the door and said: "Is there a suitable Hu monk?" "Bu Yan Yan entered, with the description of Hu monks. His people sighed and displeased: "Ma Xiao is a monk!" "Bu is surprised, what is the reason? He said: "God loses happiness and the two gods, and they know that they are hidden in the nose of the monarch and daughter, and I am also a celestial person, and I am ordered by the emperor to take it, and I don't mean that this monk will take it first." I deserve to be dismissed! "The cloth party saluted, raised his head and lost. The absurd story is written concisely, interestingly, with a complete structure, a vivid plot, and a vivid image, which is not inferior to other famous Tang Dynasty legendary novels. It was "Youyang Miscellaneous" that established Duan Chengshi's position in the history of literature and made him a famous writer of the Tang Dynasty. Duan Chengshi's son Duan Anjie, under the influence of his father's literature and art, became a rare musician in the history of Shandong.

After the "New Tang Dynasty Book" volume 89 "The Biography of Duan Zhixuan", there is a small biography of Duan Anjie: "Anjie, Qianningzhong, is the son of the country, good at music and rhythm, and can self-quyun." His musical works have been lost, but the "Yuefu Miscellaneous Records", also known as "Pipa Records", compiled by him, have a certain position in the history of the development of music, opera and dance in China. The music and dance of the Tang Dynasty created a diverse, beautiful and harmonious Chinese folk music and dance on the basis of integrating the characteristics of domestic ethnic music and dance and absorbing the beneficial elements of foreign music and dance. Duan Anjie's "Yuefu Miscellaneous Records" recorded the main information about music clubs, haiyou, songs and dances, musical instruments, and music after the opening of the Tang Dynasty, and what is particularly precious is that he was not confined by common opinions, and was a singer, pipa player, and performer with low social status, thus improving the status of "Yuefu Miscellaneous Records" in the cultural history of the Tang Dynasty.

Master once said that as a descendant of Laoshan Mountain, I should not only inherit the essence of my own sect, but also have some perception and understanding of some cultures in the land of China. The content of Zhiwei novels is very complex, which can be roughly divided into three categories, such as the trivia of showing off geographical naturalism, such as Dongfang Shuo's "Divine Strange Scripture" and Zhang Hua's "Naturalist Chronicles"; Historical rumors and stories other than the official history, such as "The Story of Han Wu" and "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" by the name Ban Gu; Tell about the strange superstitious stories of ghosts and gods, such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji", the old title Cao Pi's "Legend of Lieyi", Ge Hong's "Legend of the Immortals", and Tao Qian's "Hou Sou Shen Ji" and so on. Zhiwei novels had a direct impact on Tang Dynasty legends.

Generally speaking, Zhiwei novels refer to novels with the color of gods and monsters in the Han and Wei dynasties, and most of them come from the strange theories of wizards and alchemists.

After the Han Dynasty, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism gradually prevailed, and the superstitious preaching of ghosts and gods was widely spread, so there were many books on Zhiwei. Many of the works of the Six Dynasties are named after "Zhiwei". For example, Zu Taizhi's "Zhi Wei", Cao Bi's "Zhi Wei", and Pu Songling's Liao Zhai Zhiyi (the word "Zhi Wei" comes from "Zhuangzi?"). Getaway": "Those who are harmonious are also strangers." Modern writer Lu Xun's "A Brief History of Chinese Novels" specifically lists the first and second chapters of "The Ghosts and Spirits of the Six Dynasties".

Lu Xun's "A Brief History of Chinese Novels" said: "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the theory of immortals has prevailed, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a great wind of witches, and the ghost road became more and more intense; Theravada Buddhism also entered Middle-earth and gradually spread. All of this are Zhang Huang ghosts and gods, praised as supernatural, so from the Jin to the Sui, there are many ghosts and gods in the book. Some of his books are from the literati and some from the believers. The works of the literati, although they are not like the two schools of interpretation and Taoism, are intended to teach from the gods, but they are not intended to be novels. It is pointed out here that the reason for the prosperity of strange novels in the Wei and Jin dynasties was stimulated by folk witchcraft, Taoism and Buddhism, and the author's attitude was to record strange legends as facts. As a basic generalization, Lu Xun's summary is correct. However, it should also be noted that the origin and actual appearance of the novel are more complicated. There is a big difference between focusing on Shinto and bizarre deeds, and how much of life is expressed in the novel.

Among the existing Zhiwei novels, there are signed Han works, mainly entitled "The Story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" and "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" by Ban Gu, and "The Story of the Cave and the Underworld" by Guo Xian.

So, why do so many novels, as the descendants of Laoshan and the Laoshan faction, attach so much importance to this "Youyang Miscellaneous", not to mention anything else, when I was still practicing, my senior sister said that one day if I can find the outer part of "Youyang Miscellaneous", then I can get the way of ghosts.

She also told me that the content of the main part of this book seems to be strange to ordinary people, but those who have really done this will know that many of the phenomena he describes do exist, and according to her analysis, there must be an outer chapter that talks about methodology, that is, those real methods of fighting ghosts are in the outer chapter.

When I think of my sister, I can't help but think of a lot of past events, I really wonder if she is really in Hong Kong now?
