Chapter 297: The Yellow Emperor Casting Mirror
Li Bing muttered as if enchanted: "The Yue Nu world is white, and the Mirror Lake is cool in May." ”
He suddenly asked Shi Liya, "Sister Shi, where is this mirror lake?" ”
Shi Liya replied puzzledly: "Li Bing, do you want to travel in late spring?" ”
Li Bing stopped laughing, and said very solemnly and excitedly: "Sister Shi, how can I have the heart to travel, but when I dreamed of Yin Si, the Son of Yin Si said to me, the whereabouts of the ancient artifact Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, I should have an understanding within three days, I just heard you say the word 'mirror', I suddenly thought, this should be a clue, it is a hint from God, you tell me, where is the mirror lake." ”
Shi Liya didn't feel a little excited when she heard Li Bing say so seriously, she didn't expect that her unintentional words would inspire Li Bing,
She said excitedly: "The Legend of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan records: the emperor cast the mirror to the image, for fifteen, the mirror treasure mirror, in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor cast bronze for the mirror, which was a great invention at that time, the mirror was enshrined as an artifact, especially the mirror cast by the Yellow Emperor himself, not only can see the appearance of people, but also can distinguish the good and evil of people's hearts, but also drive away evil spirits. ”
Li Bing asked anxiously: "Sister Shi, are there any yin and yang treasure mirrors among these fifteen mirrors?" ”
Shi Liya said: "I don't know this, I don't know if there is a yin and yang treasure mirror in the bronze mirror cast by the Yellow Emperor, the ancient medical masterpiece "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" records: "The emperor and the Queen Mother of the West will meet in the palace of the king, but cast twelve large mirrors, and use them with the moon," Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor cast a mirror by the lake, and this lake is now called Jianhu. ”
Zhao Wan'er said puzzledly: "Sister Shi, didn't you just say that the Yellow Emperor made fifteen mirrors, why is it now twelve." ”
Shi Liya smiled: "I don't know much about this, maybe the literature is different, the ancients believed that the mirror can ward off evil spirits, mainly because the mirror has the effect of reflecting light, can reflect the harmful 'evil gas' back, from the perspective of modern science, the mirror can not only change people's perception of space, but also absorb or reflect energy, change the light and climate of the space." ”
Shi Liya then introduced: "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Biography" revealed that after the Yellow Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West met in Wangwu Mountain, the Yellow Emperor cast twelve large mirrors, which were used in turn by month, the diameter of the first mirror was one foot five inches, and then decreased by one inch per month, and so on, the twelfth mirror should only be three inches, which has reached the level of exquisite loveliness, and the Yellow Emperor often grinded the mirror by the lake himself, and for thousands of years after that, the grinding mirror stone was smooth and recognizable, and did not grow weeds. ”
Li Bing interjected: "Sister Shi, you first tell me where that Jianhu is." ”
Shi Liya blinked mischievously and said, "Li Bing, do you know Qiu Jin." ”
Li Bing blurted out: "Qiu Jin, she is so famous, of course I know that Qiu Jin despises feudal etiquette and advocates equality between men and women. ”
"She later actively participated in the revolution, and successively participated in revolutionary organizations such as the Triad, the Guangfu Society, and the Alliance, and the Liaison Society planned to respond to the Pingliuli Uprising unsuccessfully, and later organized the Guangfu Army with Xu Xilin and others, preparing to revolt at the same time in Zhejiang and Anhui, but unexpectedly she was arrested and calmly took up justice in Xuantingkou, Shaoxing."
"Mr. Sun Yat-sen paid tribute to the tomb of Qiu Jin and wrote a couplet: 'Edo Ya Danchen, I am grateful for the approval of the alliance; Xuan Ting sprinkled with blood, ashamed of my recruitment of chivalrous women, and said: 'Before the recovery, the first person of the Zhejiang people to join the alliance Ms. Qiu also, this autumn Ms. will not be reborn, and the sentence of 'autumn wind and autumn rain is sad', and the sentence of 'autumn wind and autumn rain is sad', and it is not forgotten,'",
As soon as Li Bing finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, Qiu Jin calls herself 'Jianhu Woman', so that Jianhu should be in Shaoxing, Zhejiang." ”
Shi Liya said he: "I didn't expect that Li Bing, who studied engineering, also knew so many historical allusions, yes, Jianhu Lake is indeed in Shaoxing." ”
Li Bing paused unconsciously and said, "Sister Shi, I still have a question, in the poem you recited, it is called Jinghu, why is it called Jianhu now." ”
Shi Liya said: "There is a mirror lake in the north of Shaoxing city, there is Jianhu Lake in the suburbs, Mirror Lake, more famous, the literati and ink writers of the past dynasties like to visit the mirror lake and chant poems, in the tourism brand promotion, the mirror paste has always been considered the place where the Yellow Emperor cast the mirror. ”
After listening to this, Li Bing was overjoyed and smiled happily: "That's right, I think we should go to Shaoxing Mirror Lake for a visit." ”
Shi Liya smiled and said: "Li Bing, you are also so anxious, in my opinion, the place where the Yellow Emperor cast the mirror is not necessarily the mirror lake, but the Jianhu Lake is more likely." ”
Li Bing looked at Shi Liya puzzled and said, "How is it possible, the Emperor of Yin asked me to find the ancient artifact Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, the place where we go, of course, should be related to the mirror word." ”
Shi Liya smiled: "The ancient mirror, is the meaning of the big basin, its name is Jian, "Shuowen" said: "Jian can take water in the bright moon, because it can be followed, so it is used as a mirror," at the beginning of the three generations, Jian is made of tile, so the ancient Jianzi is not next to the gold word, so, I think, the real mirror place, may be Jianhu. ”
Li Bing thought about it for a while and thought that what Shi Liya said was not unreasonable, but since Jinghu and Jianhu were both in Shaoxing, it was easy to do, just go to both places.
Zhao Wan'er listened attentively, imagining the mirror cast by the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, I don't know how amazing it should be.
Shi Liya couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhao Wan'er's distracted appearance, and said to Zhao Wan'er: "Sister Wan'er, do you want to hear about the legend of the Yellow Emperor's bronze mirror." ”
Zhao Wan'er was greatly surprised, and urged Shi Liya to tell her quickly,
Shi Liya told the story: In ancient times, there was a man named Wang Du, he had a mirror cast by the Yellow Emperor, and his friend Xue Xia had a sword, the texture on the left was like a flame, and the texture on the right was like a water wave, shining and aggressive.
Xue Xia asked to use this sword to compete with Wang Du's treasure mirror, Wang Du readily agreed, they entered a dense room, Wang Du took out the treasure mirror, the mirror spit out brilliance, illuminating the whole room, the two can see each other, as if they were in the daytime, and the sword is gloomy, only after Wang Du put the treasure mirror into the mirror box, the ancient sword spit out the brilliance, but it is only one or two feet of light,
Xue Xia stroked the sword and sighed: "The magical treasures in the world also have the theory of mutual restraint. ”
Since then, every full moon night, Wang Du will place the treasure mirror in the dark room, and the brilliant light it emits can illuminate the surrounding places several zhang away, but if the moon shadow shines into the dark room, the treasure mirror will become dull, because the sun and the moonlight are the first rays of the universe, and no treasure can match them.
The mirror cast by the Yellow Emperor faithfully reflects the physical space outside, but creates an illusory space inside, and the whole world is curled up in the bronze mirror.
