Chapter 69: "Chu Ci"!

He Yun rummaged through the cardboard box again.

Eventually, he found a 16-page book with a lilac cover among the stacks.

"The Complete Translation of Chu Ci", published by the Guizhou Provincial People's Publishing House, was printed for the first time in 1984, and this is it!"

Speaking of "Chu Ci", the most impressive thing for everyone is probably Qu Yuan's "Lisao", which is a huge work that describes Chu in the pre-Qin period along with the "Book of Songs".

But everyone doesn't know that "Chu Ci" is only Qu Yuan's "Lisao", the so-called "Chu" actually refers to Chu land, or Chu culture, and Ci is a literary form, belonging to Qu Fu, similar to poetry, words, and Fu.

In "Chu Ci", in addition to "Lisao", there are also many pages about the ancient myths and legends of Chu, which are many different from the myths and legends of the Central Plains, and it can be said that it is a new mythological system that is completely different from the Central Plains.

This is what people commonly call the Eastern Emperor mythological system!

What is the Eastern Emperor?

In fact, it refers to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, as the supreme god in the Chu land, the ancient Heavenly Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is supreme.

In addition, "Chu Ci" also records the characters in myths such as "Xiang Concubine", "Hebo", "Da Si Ming" and "Shao Si Ming".

These mythological characters also appeared precisely in "Qin Shi Mingyue".

Of course, in the original version of "Qin Shi Mingyue", these characters are not real immortals, but just characters of an organization, and their leader is the Eastern Emperor, who belongs to the Yin and Yang family among the hundreds of schools.

However, the myths and legends of the relevant characters are still very valuable for reference, so He Yun will translate "The Complete Translation of Chu Ci".

After all, this edition is easy to understand and the content is relatively complete, making it a rare book that can be used for academic research and can also be used by ordinary people to get started.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that He Yun will borrow it from Xinhua Bookstore.

Also, if this "Chu Ci" is an ancient book and there is no translation, even if he takes it to the school library, I am afraid that not many people will borrow it.

Classical Chinese!

Surely not many people will want to see it!

The books to memorize are enough for students to be distressed, how can they take the initiative to read such extracurricular books after class?

Isn't this self-inflicting trouble?

…………

After deciding on the reference book to read, He Yun read it non-stop.

On the first night, he had only read five pages of the "Records of the Historians," but he had recorded as many as seven pages in the textbook.

While reading, he understood Elder's annotations, digested the contents, and finally wrote down everything he thought in the textbook.

The next day, He Yun got up early in the morning, washed his face with hot water, brushed his teeth, and continued to look at it.

At half past eight in the morning, my mother came in.

"Four guys, it's breakfast, what are you watching? Let's see after eating! ”

"Alright, Mom! I'll be right away! He Yun turned his head and replied, put the pen on the textbook, and got up to go to the hall for breakfast.

To He Yun's surprise, his sixth sister actually got up.

"This girl got up so early?"

"Fourth brother, what are you looking at me for?"

"It's nothing, you have eye in the corner of your eye!" He Yun was stunned for a moment, and casually found an excuse and said.

But when He Xiaolian heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks and ran to the kitchen.

But after a while, she came back again, pouting, looking at He Yun, as if to say, "Fourth brother, you lied to me again?" ”

He Yun looked at her, but he pretended to be casual and lowered his head, drank the sweet wine in the bowl and boiled the glutinous rice cakes, and ate the chili radish in the bowl on the side.

However, the more Nizi thought about it, the more angry she became, and she snorted coldly at He Yun: "Hmph! I know to lie to me and ignore you! ”

At this time, the fifth sister He Ying also came over with a bowl, compared to the sixth sister He Xiaolian, she was much more "Sven", and she didn't speak, let alone greet them, she sat directly at the dinner table and ate silently.

Suddenly, the voice of the old village chief came from outside.

"Koga! Xiaohe, are you up? ”

"Village Chief, why are you here?" He Yun heard the shouts outside, and immediately walked out with a bowl.

At this time, the old village chief pushed the 28 big bars to meet him.

"Good news, Xiaohe! The people from the electric tube station are here, please hurry up and go with me to have a look! ”

"Good...... All right...... I'll go with you! He Yun responded, immediately turned around and went back to the hall, put down the sweet wine boiled glutinous rice in his hand, hurriedly pushed the twenty-eight bars, and followed the old village chief out.

In the village committee, a middle-aged man wearing glasses was followed by a young man.

These two men were the people sent by the power station.

The middle-aged man's name is Zhang Xin, and the young man's name is He Wen.

The two of them originally did not plan to come, but early in the morning, under the leadership of a leader in the town, Township Chief Li and Committee Member Zhang of Sanshui Township ran to the electric tube station, and the leader of the electric tube station had just gone to work at this time.

It turned out that the old village chief went to the electric tube station yesterday and reported the matter to them, but the leader of the electric tube station did not believe it, after all, this matter sounded a little unreliable, so he thought about delaying it for two days and then sending someone over.

But he didn't expect that he would be "blocked" early in the morning

There was no way, so he had to immediately send two people to hurry over.

"The two should be the leaders of the electric tube station, I am the head of this village, this is Xiao He, the propaganda officer of the township, and it is also from our village."

"Ahem, village chief, let's get down to business and start right away!" The middle-aged man with glasses was obviously impatient, and immediately said to He Yun and the old village chief.

"Okay, okay...... I'll take you two to see the route of the electricity right away! ”

Although the attitude of these two people was not very good, the old village chief still responded with a smile on his face.

He walked in front and led the two of them forward, introducing the specific circuit planning situation as they walked.

Although He Yun was very dissatisfied with the people sent by the electric power station, he still held back, followed the two, and walked forward.

After the four of them turned around, the old village chief beckoned to He Yun, who was walking at the back, and said, "Xiao He, hurry up, these two leaders want to ask you about money!" ”

"Two leaders, what do you have to ask?" He Yun responded to the old village chief, and then walked in front of the two of them.

"I just took a look, there is no big problem with this circuit, the route is more reasonable, if the pole is made of wooden poles, the price should be cheaper, every 50 meters to 60 meters to set one, your circuit is about 1,500 meters, that is, about 30 or so, if it is considered a wire, it is conservatively estimated that it will cost 2,500 yuan!"

"Just over two thousand? Doesn't it seem like much? As soon as He Yun heard the other party's words, he muttered to himself in his heart.

But at this time, the old village chief was a little puzzled: "Need so much money? Two leaders, if we make the poles ourselves, can we reduce the budget? ”

"Make your own ......? This one...... What are you going to do? Looking for a carpenter? ”

"No, it should be enough to cut down the small cedar trees in front of and behind each house!"
