Chapter 44: The Magical Song of Baked Cakes
Yan Qiu looked very carefully and seriously, and she didn't seem to hear me when I spoke.
I saw Jiang Rou standing aside and no longer looking at the inscription, presumably because it was as difficult as me to understand the meaning inside, so I went to communicate with Jiang Li: "Jiang. Understand, do you understand this? ”
Jiang Rou nodded incomprehensibly and closed her eyes slightly.
I immediately asked, "Then tell me what's going on?" ”
Jiang Rou said: "These are dozens of ancient poems, which are about what someone has seen and heard in his life, so as to express the author's infinite love for life and express the author's lofty philosophical thoughts." ”
"So?" I listened to Jiang Rou's explanation, and I went to see the inscription again.
When I read "The eunuchs appointed Bao Sheji, eight thousand female ghosts chaotic the dynasty." When he said this, he completely collapsed and asked Jiang Rou: "What do these two sentences mean?" What kind of love for life does the author express? How does it look like a dancing god? ”
Jiang Rou didn't answer me.
As soon as I looked up, I saw that the guy was covering his mouth, laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes.
Only then did I realize that the impassioned wording just now was all made up by this guy himself, and I actually naively believed it.
I stretched out my hand and poked a finger on her head, pretending to be angry and said, "Okay, you bastard, you dare to lie to your brother, you are not allowed to eat for a while." ”
was accused by me like this, she didn't repent, she didn't cover her hands and mouth, and laughed out loud.
I was so angry that I ignored her and waited for Yan Qiu's conclusion.
Yan Qiu remained silent for five minutes, looked at her and muttered, "Baked cake song? ”
Because the pinyin abbreviation of the baked cake is SB, we often use the baked cake to scold people.
She suddenly said this, and I was the only man here, I thought she gave me a new nickname "Brother Baked Cake", so I said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, how did you learn to be vulgar?" Wasn't it all right just now? Say yes and don't hold grudges. ”
Yan Qiu got up, no longer looked at the stone tablet, turned his head to look at me with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't know what I was talking about, just pointed to the stone tablet and said, "This is the song of baked cakes." ”
"Baked cake song? Selling the lyrics of the pancakes? Jiang Rou asked.
Yan Qiu sighed helplessly, shook her head and said, "It seems that I have to teach you again, it's really annoying." ”
I clearly remember that Yan Qiu likes to give lectures the most, and now she is actually starting to get bored, and there are really a lot of new things we have encountered along the way.
Yan Qiu thought for a while, and decided to start with a riddle, she asked: "Half like the sun and half like the moon, I was bitten by the golden dragon." Do you know what it is? ”
Jiang Rou shook her head, indicating that she was not good at guessing riddles.
It just so happened that I knew this secret language, so I said happily: "This is the baked cake, I also know this allusion, Zhu Yuanzhang became the Yellow Emperor, but he still can't forget his preferences when he was a poor man, just took a bite of the baked cake, Liu Bowen came to Jin, so he used a bowl to buckle the baked cake, test what Liu Bowen is, Liu Bowen gave the answer is these two poems." ”
Yan Qiu affirmed my statement: "Since you know the song of baked cakes, do you want me to explain?" ”
I was very puzzled, I didn't know what the riddle had to do with the stone tablet in front of me, I was stunned by Yan Qiu for a while, and hurriedly asked: "What does the secret language of the baked cake have to do with these inscriptions, is it all secret words?" ”
Yan Qiu rolled her eyes: "It seems that you only know one thing and don't know the other, the allusion you said is just the beginning of a conversation, and later Zhu Yuanzhang asked many questions, and Liu Bowen answered them all in the form of limericks, and this inscription is the poems that Liu Bowen said at that time." Later, someone recorded all the conversations between the two and compiled them into a book, which was called "The Song of Baked Cakes". ”
Yan Qiu spoke bluntly, and it was very easy for me to understand: "It turned out to be a dialogue between the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, it was just fun?" I don't know who carved this monument? Idle. ”
"It's not as simple as you think." Yan Qiu continued: "This "Song of Baked Cakes" is not a simple dialogue, after many generations of historians have researched, in fact, these poems that Liu Bowen said at that time are prophetic poems, and many things in the future are hidden in the poems. Maybe it's all predictable. ”
"It's not that exaggerated, is it? Are you saying that a person in the Ming Dynasty even predicted the events of the 21st century? "I kind of couldn't believe it.
Yan Qiu replied: "That's true, the specific time of the incident is 1368, and what is said here are some predictions about the change of state power and the change of dynasty, so even if someone studies it thoroughly, they don't dare to tell it openly." ”
Jiang Rou didn't believe it very much, and asked Yan Qiu: "This is all a trick of the ancient warlocks, right?" Say something ambiguous to fool the people behind you. ”
Yan Qiu smiled and said: "This is all verified by many predecessors, so there is no need to doubt it, for example, what Zhan Xiao just said, eight thousand female ghosts mess with the dynasty, and eight thousand female ghosts synthesize one word is Wei, which means that Wei Zhongxian framed Zhongliang and disturbed the dynasty." Each of these poems corresponds to the major historical events that occurred after the dialogue at that time. ”
I was said by Yan Qiu hot and cold, goosebumps rose up, those who originally thought that they could pinch and calculate, all rely on superb observation and color skills, to calculate certain things, such as Liu Bowen guessed the baked cakes, it may be that he saw the dregs of the baked cakes that Zhu Yuanzhang ate, so he made a mistake, but I didn't expect that there was such a thing as a prophecy.
"This makes sense, the prophetic poem is quite incredible, and it makes sense to erect a monument in this strange place." I agree with the person who erected the monument.
"I just don't know who carved this monument, the identity of the person who carved the monument is the key, so far we still don't know where we are, maybe if we know the person who erected the monument, there will be clues." Jiang Rou analyzed seriously.
I said, "It's simple, it happened in the Ming Dynasty, and the person who erected the monument must have been in the Ming Dynasty or after the Ming Dynasty." I guess it's the Ming Dynasty, didn't the Qing Dynasty crack down on the anti-Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty? How can a monument be erected to promote and mythologize the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty? He asked Yanqiu again: "Who is the author of "Song of Baked Cakes"?" ”
Yan Qiu shook his head and said: "This is not recorded, the common people in ancient times thought that Liu Bowen was the only author of "Song of Baked Cakes", but in fact, these quotations were not recorded by Liu Bowen himself, just like "The Analects" Although it was said by Confucius, it was compiled by Confucius's disciples. However, ......" Yan Qiu did not continue to speak at this point, and there was a trace of uncertainty in her eyes.
I hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
Yan Qiu thought briefly for a moment and scratched his head: "But this inscription can't be called the real "Song of Baked Cakes". ”
It's not a good "Baked Cake Song", why haven't you talked about it for a long time? I really can't communicate with people who are academics, and I always make all kinds of arguments and then disprove them myself.
I was a little impatient and asked Yanqiu: "Why isn't it the real "Song of Baked Cakes"?" Is there a difference in content? ”
Yan Qiu replied: ""The Song of Baked Cakes" records all the conversations at that time, and this inscription is only engraved with the verses of Liu Bowen's prophecy, and there is no content of Zhu Yuanzhang's question and dialogue between the two, which can only be regarded as an important part of the excerpt of "Song of Baked Cakes". As he spoke, Yan Qiu turned his head and went back to observe the stone stele.
When Yan Qiu saw the bottom of the inscription, he took a deep breath, his eyes widened and he was stunned on the spot.
Jiang Rou noticed that Yan Qiu's expression had changed a lot, and shook Yan Qiu's arm and asked, "Sister, what did you find?" Is there a clue? Hurry up and talk about it. ”
Yan Qiu didn't speak, but trembled his arm to point to the lower part of the stone stele.
I followed Yan Qiu's finger and saw that it was the inscription of the entire inscription, with the words "Wencheng Qingtian" written on it.
According to my understanding, this Wencheng Qingtian, Eight Achievements means that the entire inscription is created by a person in the field, such as the meaning of the vegetable cooked pot, the poem into the thatched toilet, and the song echoing in the bathhouse.
But when I think about it, I don't think it's right, aren't these poems spoken by the monarch and ministers above the court? Why isn't it a poem into a palace, but a green field?
