Bai Ze's brain is buzzing, so many stories are really a bit brain-slapping, and it takes a long time to digest and digest.

"Soon, soon......" Lingyu looked out the window and said something incomprehensible.

"What joy is happy?" Bai Ze looked back.

Lingyu glanced at Bai Ze pretending to be profound, and did not answer, or rather, it was not yet time to speak.

"Go ahead!" Seeing Lingyu like this, Bai Ze continued the unfinished story.

Because Zhu Rong taught human beings to use fire, people worship Zhu Rong very much, but the water god works together to see the eyes, thinking that everything in the world is inseparable from water, why do human beings only worship Zhu Rong, but not worship themselves, the more they think about it, the more angry they are. So the water from the four lakes and five seas rushed to Kunlun Mountain, extinguishing the holy fire on Kunlun Mountain, and suddenly the whole world was pitch black. Zhu Rong was very angry when he learned that he rode the fire dragon and fought with Gonggong, the water finally flowed down, and the flood fell down from Kunlun Mountain, Zhu Rong took the opportunity to launch an attack and burned Gonggong to the ground. Gonggong lost badly, and crashed into Buzhou Mountain in a fit of anger, who knew that Buzhou Mountain was a pillar of heaven, and the pillar of heaven was broken, and the sky also collapsed, bringing disaster to all things in the world, so it attracted the story of Nuwa mending the sky.

Legend has it that there was a laurel tree in the moon that was 500 feet high. In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Wu Gang, who was obsessed with the way of immortals and did not concentrate on learning, so the Emperor of Heaven was furious, detained him in the Moon Palace, ordered him to cut down the laurel tree in the Moon Palace, and said: "If you cut down the laurel tree, you will get immortal arts."

Wu Gang began to cut the laurel, but every time Wu Gang cut an axe, the axe was raised and the tree wound was immediately healed, day after day, Wu Gang's wish to cut the laurel has not been achieved, so Wu Gang in the Moon Palace perennial cutting laurel, never cut down the tree, so that later generations can see the image of Wu Gang cutting laurel endlessly in the middle of the month.

There was a man named Sun Jing in the Jin Dynasty, who read until late at night every day, and was often afraid of dozing off, so he tied his hair with a rope and tied it to the beam of the house. He used this method to prevent himself from dozing off.

During the Qin Dynasty, the government built the Great Wall, and countless poor people were arrested for forced labor. Wan Xiliang is one of them. A few years passed, and the neighbors who had gone to build the Great Wall had returned. Wan Xiliang did not come back. His wife, Meng Jiangnu, went along the Great Wall to find her, crying as she searched, but she couldn't find her husband. After that, the Great Wall was cried down by him.

Legend has it that many years ago, the Yellow River broke its mouth there. It took years of hard work to close the breach. Many of the people who blocked the embankment were disaster victims, and they were already homeless, and when the Yellow River water was blocked, some simply did not leave, and lived in the temporary hermitage built when the embankment was blocked. They cultivated the land there, started a family and raised children, and gradually there were more people, and it became a village, which was named Guijiazhuang. After several years, the dry water from Xingyang flowed into the Yellow River there. As a result, there are more people coming and going from north to south, and it has become a lively place.

Later, Wancang was caught by fire, and his eyes were blinded and he became a beggar. went to a rich man's house to beg for food, and after eating a bowl of noodles, he felt like his ex-wife Lilac was cooking, and when he asked that was the case, Wancang was ashamed and went into the stove. The Jade Emperor read his remorse and sealed Wancang as the king of the stove.

In order to build the Great Wall, Qin Shi Huang arrested people everywhere to do laborers, and he didn't know how many people died of starvation and exhaustion! Meng Jiangnu rescued Fan Xiliang, and when she saw that he was knowledgeable and reasonable, her eyebrows were clear, she fell in love with him, and Fan Xiliang also fell in love with Meng Jiangnu. The two of them were heart-to-heart, and after obtaining the consent of their parents, they were ready to get married. On the day of marriage, a team of officers and soldiers broke in and grabbed Fan Xiliang with iron chains to work on the Great Wall. The good happy event turned into an empty one, and Meng Jiangnu was full of grief and anger, thinking about her husband day and night. Hearing that her husband had died, Meng Jiangnu cried bitterly. After crying for three days and three nights, the Great Wall was cried down, revealing Fan Xiliang's body.

During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin, because he failed to seek official positions in the Qin State, and was looked down upon by his family after returning home, so he borrowed Taigong's "Liutao" and "Yin Fu" and other books on the art of war, and studied diligently day and night. Whenever in the dead of night, when my head is dizzy, my eyes are astringent, and I always want to sleep, I stab myself in the thigh with an awl to make myself sober up and read again. 9. Classic folk tales Kuang Heng, a native of the Western Han Dynasty, was very poor when he was a child, and he liked to read very much, but there was no oil lamp at home at night. When the lamp was lit in the neighbor's house, Kuang Heng dug a hole in the wall and let the light shine through the hole to illuminate the reading.

The Seven Fairies Zi'er, according to legend, is the seventh daughter of the Jade Emperor, she is the most ingenious and kind-hearted. One day, the Seven Fairies learned that there was a young man surnamed Dong Mingyong in Danyang (now Xiaogan), who had to be sold into slavery because his family was poor and had no money to bury his dead father.

The seventh sister was deeply moved, and privately married Dong Yong for a hundred years in Heaven and achieved a marriage under the big locust tree. It's a pity that the big locust tree, who was the matchmaker, was happy for a while, and said that "a hundred years of good cooperation" was "a hundred days of good cooperation", which caused Dong Yong's seventh sister to only have a hundred days of fate.

The seventh sister used skillful gold shuttles to weave 10 pieces of brocade silk to redeem Dong Yong, preparing to renovate the homeland and love the white head. Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor was very angry when he learned about it, and urgently summoned the seventh sister back to the palace, and the seventh sister had to fly away in pain. Her weaving school was turned into a shuttle stone, and the loom was left in the world, and people could still hear the "click, click" of the loom in the dead of night.

Once upon a time, deep in a mountain, lived a kind old couple who had a young son. As the youngest son grows up day by day, the family, which is not rich in the first place, is becoming more and more unable to eat. Although the youngest son is young, he is very sensible, and when he can run out to play, he takes the initiative to beg his mother to go to the mountains to collect firewood.

On a warm winter afternoon, he carried a small bamboo basket up the mountain by himself. However, not long after he walked, his stomach began to rumble, and he was hungry, because there was too little food at home at noon, and he was reluctant to eat more, and he dared that if he ate too much, his parents would starve. So as soon as he put down the bowl that afternoon, he hurried out the door. He thought that maybe he could find some wild fruits in the mountains to soothe his poor belly.

He walked and walked, and walked farther and farther, and the more hungry he became, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he sat down on a rock. Suddenly a strong wind blew, and he quickly put on his hat and wrapped his head tightly. Listening to the sound of "knock" "knock" and "knock", he felt that something on the top of his head gently smashed over his head, and then the wind stopped, he took off his hat, turned around, and wanted to find out, what was it just now, knock over his head, his eyes lit up, and found that there were red fruits in the weeds next to the stone, and he was almost about to drool, so he quickly picked one up and tasted it, "Wow, it's so sweet." It was a small wild fruit he had never eaten before. He ate a few more, and felt full.

Then, closing his eyes and looking at the sunlight in the sky, he felt that he was in a wonderful place, so beautiful and beautiful, and there was a little elf flying into his ear and whispering to him, "I have prepared a little surprise for you in a tree hole not far ahead, please remember to bring him home." ”

When he opened his eyes, he wanted to quickly pick up the little wild fruit on the ground and let his parents taste it together, and taste how sweet this little wild fruit was. After picking up the little wild fruit, he walked to the small tree hole in front of him in disbelief, hoping that what the elf said was true.

He picked up the weeds in front of the tree hole, slowly put his head into the tree hole, haha, really, really like the elf said, what a surprise, a lot of beans and dried fruits, there are 7 kinds of them, he put them all in his hat, and took off his coat to cover them, and happily took them home. The next morning, my mother used the ingredients he picked up to cook a big pot of porridge, which was today's eight-treasure porridge, and the whole family was full.

Of course, the remaining ingredients became their seeds, planted in the fields, and stored after harvesting, and every year today, the old couple and their family cooked this porridge, first, to thank the elves, and secondly, to commemorate the beginning of their happy days.

Yu Zhongwen was a senior official in the Sui Dynasty. When he was a child, one year, the Ren family and the Du family in the village both lost a cow, and the two families went out to look for it separately, but they didn't find it for a long time. Later, when someone finally found one for them, both families rushed to say that the cow was their own, and the two sides argued, and the lawsuit was brought to the state, and the state officials could not judge, and the case was suspended.

At this time, Governor Shi (official name) Han Weijun had an idea and said to the governor: "The young Yu Zhongwen is very smart, why don't you call him to judge the case?" The governor was unimpressed, saying: "If you have no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well!" This case is not good for adults, let alone teenagers? Han Bojun said: "My lord's words are wrong. As he spoke, he introduced to the state official the anecdote of Yu Zhongwen following his father to meet Emperor Wen of Sui when he was 9 years old: The emperor asked Yu Zhongwen: "I heard that you like to read, what are the things recorded in the book?" Zhongwen replied calmly: "Serving your parents and serving the monarch, a thousand words are nothing more than the words 'loyalty and filial piety'. Emperor Wen of Sui was amazed by Zhongwen's ability to summarize, and praised again and again: "Well said! You can say that again! Han Bojun said: "My lord, do you think you can let this kid Yu Zhongwen try to deal with this case?" The governor readily agreed, and immediately ordered him to go to Yu's house with a red invitation.

Yu Zhongwen arrived at the state capital, asked about the situation before and after, and said with a smile: "This case is easy to judge. As he spoke, he asked Ren and Du to drive all their cattle to the big playground in front of the state capital. He shouted, "Herd the cattle!" With that, the cow ran straight to Ren's herd.

The crowd on the field cheered: "It's the Ren family, it's the Ren family!" Yu Zhongwen coldly saw that the Du family was not convinced, so he shouted: "Slow, drive that cow out alone." When the ox came out, Zhong Wen ordered the servants to whip him fiercely, and the people of the Ren family rushed forward, resisted with all their might, and took the whip away; The people of the Du family just shouted from the side: "Don't fight, don't fight." "The shout was weak, like acting.

Yu Zhongwen saw it, and then interrogated the Du family sharply: "If it is found out that this cow is not your family, and you insist on fraudulently claiming it, in addition to ten times the fine, you will also have to bear legal responsibility!" The Du family knew that they couldn't hide it from Yu Zhongwen, so they had to admit that they were guilty of fraudulentness.

Yu Zhongwen's reputation for breaking the cow case has spread since then.

Zhang Ce, a scholar of the Later Liang Dynasty, was brilliant and knowledgeable when he was young.

Once, in Dunhua, Luoyang, where his home is located, when digging a sweet water well, an ancient tripod was raised. The rusty and mottled copper tripod is inscribed with a line of seal characters: "Wei Huang Chuyuan Army Spring February, Craftsman Ji Qian." "The workmanship is very delicate and exquisite. The neighbors all think that this is a rare cultural relic. Everyone was very happy, as if they had received a windfall.

However, Zhang Ce looked at Gu Ding for a while, smiled bitterly, and said: "Folks, it's not that I said to spoil the fun, this 'Gu Ding' is a fake by later generations, and it is by no means a treasure of the Cao Wei era. ”

When they heard this, they were all shocked. An old pedant was not convinced, and sneered: "Alas! You are only twelve or thirteen years old, how can you know the authenticity of an antiquity hundreds of years ago? ”

Zhang Ce's father, Zhang Tong, also felt the same way, and asked angrily: "You have to be humble!" Zhang Ce was not annoyed, but said softly and slowly to the old pedant: "Old gentleman, the younger generation has the courage to tell me the basis, please advise." The old scholar smiled and said with a stinging expression: "I would like to hear the high opinion." Zhang Ce talked eloquently: "In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, after Cao Cao's death, the Eastern Han Dynasty was changed to Yankang. In October of this year, Cao Pi accepted the Zen concession of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, became the emperor, established the Wei State, and changed the era name to Huang Chu.

This is the first year of the early Huang Dynasty, where did February come from? It can be seen that the seal inscription on the ancient Ding says 'February at the beginning of the first year of the Huang Dynasty', isn't it too ridiculous? The old scholar and Zhang Tong listened, glanced at each other, and said no more. Everyone said one after another: "Mr. Zhang Tong, why don't you take out the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to check it?" ”

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was taken, Zhang Tong opened the "Book of Wei" and took a look, and sure enough, what was recorded in the book was exactly the same as Zhang Ce's statement.

The old pedant's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Ce is really a little genius who knows the past and the present!" 4. Chinese folk tales During the Song Dynasty, not long after Liu Zai was transferred to Taixing County, he received a complaint from a peasant.

The farmer said: "A relative in a neighboring county rented my cattle, but hatefully, he stole the lease deed while my family was at a funeral. For more than ten years, I came to the door several times to ask for cattle and rent, but he did not admit it, and lied that he had sold the cattle. Therefore, please ask Lord Liu to make the decision for Xiaomin. Liu Zai asked: "Why hasn't it been solved for more than ten years?" ”

The farmer replied: "I have complained to the government many times, but there is no deed certificate, and because it involves a neighboring county, the government has been shelved." Liu Zai stood up, paced back and forth, and said to himself: "It's been more than ten years, how can you get it back all at once?" Gotta think of a plan. ”

Later, Liu Zai ordered two beggars to find them, and after asking them to eat and drink, he told them the reason for the incident, and explained it like this, and then put them in a prison cell. The next day, the interrogation began. Liu Zai slapped the wood in surprise and asked loudly: "Have you two ever stolen cattle?" The two beggars immediately confessed: "It was a cow that was stolen." ”

Liu Zai continued to ask, "Where did you get the cattle?" The beggar replied, "Sold to a neighboring county." ”

Liu Zai asked: "Do you remember which household?" ”

The beggar replied decisively: "Remember, remember." Liu Zai commanded left and right: "Okay! Then take them to point them out. ”

When they came to the neighboring county, the two beggars went straight to the tenant's house and said, "I sold it to this one." "At first, the tenant did not admit it, but the beggar tried his best to insist. The tenant was anxious, went back to the house and took out the deed, and swore that "I rented the cow, and there is a deed to prove it." Everyone present laughed, and the tenants woke up like a dream, knowing that they had fallen into someone's trap. Eventually, the cattle and rent had to be returned to the tenant. Scheming is small wisdom, not great wisdom. A man who works in his heart is never a match for a man of wisdom.

One day, Confucius and his disciples took a carriage to a place to give a lecture, and when they saw a six- or seven-year-old child playing with dirt on the road, Zigong shouted loudly and was about to rush over, but the child blocked the road and shouted: "Stop, there is a city here in front of you, you can't get there, you go back and take a detour!" ”

Zigong hurriedly stopped the car and shouted angrily: "You naughty boy is messing around, this is Confucius's car, let it go!" ”

"No matter who you have to be reasonable, let me ask you whether you are hiding from the city or the car?" The child said with a clear eye.

Everyone was stammered by the question, Zigong was angry and anxious and was about to have a seizure, when Confucius stepped down from the car and hurriedly stopped him and said, "The child is reasonable, don't mess around." ”

As he spoke, Confucius stepped forward and bowed to the child and said, "The prodigy is above, and the old man is polite." We have important things to do, so let's borrow a way to let us go! The child asked, "What is your business?" "Traveling the nations." "What do you do when you travel around the world?" "Lecture and preach." "To teach and preach, you have to have a set of skills and talents, so what do you know?"

Confucius replied: "It's not the old man who boasts, I know a little bit about everything from astronomy to geography. ”

The child asked, "Do you know how many eyebrows you have?" Confucius said, "How can you know that the eyebrows themselves cannot see?" The child's eyes rolled and then asked, "I can't see it, but you can see the stars in the sky, do you know how many there are?" "The stars in the sky are so vast that they can be counted?" Confucius said embarrassedly. The child smiled and said, "Oh, you are too much; There is one on that day, the morning is like an ice tray, and the noon race is a jade ring, and I will ask you when it is near and when it is far away? Confucius thought for a long time and still couldn't answer, so he sincerely said to the child: "I am still a shallow learner, and I really don't know the above things, I would like to worship you as a teacher, and I hope to give me more advice." As he spoke, he kowtowed. Later, Confucius taught his disciples on this matter: "Don't force yourself to know what you don't know, but you must know what you know, and don't forget that you don't know what you don't know. 6. Chinese folk tales During the Song Dynasty, the Khitan sent 200,000 Liao soldiers to invade the border, and the border was tight. That Gongfu Liulang Yang Yanzhao is in Suicheng. Suicheng is now Suicheng Village, twenty miles west of Xushui County. It is bordered by the Puhe River in the north, and across the river is an ancient Great Wall. Suicheng was small and insufficient, and the defenders of the city were only 3,000 people. The Liao soldiers came quickly, and then the soldiers came to the city, surrounded the city, and attacked the city several times for several days, each time more fiercely. However, the defenders and the common people of Suicheng did not seem to have any uneasiness as usual. Liulang felt strange, and he asked the common people: "Aren't you afraid that the Liao soldiers are attacking the city like this?" The common people replied: "With General Yang guarding here, the Liao soldiers will not be able to break it!"

When Yang Liulang heard that the people trusted him like this, he felt even more responsible. So he gathered all the young men of the city, gave them swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and mobilized them to cooperate with the army to defend the city. The army and the common people are all gearing up, swearing to live and die with Suicheng.

It was October, and the weather suddenly turned cold. Seeing this scene, Yang Yanzhao was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered the army and civilians to draw water to irrigate the city. In the evening, water was poured on the city wall, and immediately a layer of ice froze was formed, and water was poured all night, and ice was formed all night. By the next morning, ho, the tall wall was white and shiny like a great wall of ice, hard and slippery, impossible to climb. The Liao soldiers rushed to the city, came to the city, kicked and slipped out, slipped and slipped, and some finally climbed to the half-waist, and fell down again when they slipped out.

The Song army lying in wait in the city took the opportunity to roll wood and thunder stones, and thousands of arrows were fired, killing and wounding countless Liao soldiers. The Liao soldiers could not attack the city for several days, so they had to order the retreat. Yang Liulang took the opportunity to open the city gate wide, and personally led the army to rush out, only to kill the Liao soldiers who lost their armor and fled in embarrassment. In this battle, thousands of Liao soldiers were captured, nearly 10,000 horses were captured, and a large number of weapons were obtained.

Because of this battle, Yang Liulang was promoted by Song Zhenzong as an official, and was promoted to Mozhou (now Yanzhou, Renqiu County, Hebei) by the Baozhou (now Baoding, Hebei) border capital inspection envoy. The Khitan invaded the border, burned and looted all the way, and the people suffered greatly. Liulang Yang Yanzhao successively led his troops to repel more than 100 attacks by Liao soldiers, making the border pass peaceful for a time, so he was deeply loved by the people.

When Yang Liulang was fifty-seven years old, he died of illness in Juzhou. The emperor sent an envoy to accompany Liulang's eldest son, Yang Wenguang (Yang Yanzhao's son is called Zongbao in the play, and Zongbao's son is called Wenguang) to escort Lingshu back to his hometown of Taiyuan. The people of Zhengzhou went out of the city, knelt around the hearse and wept silently, demanding that Liulang be buried in Juzhou, with his spirit in the sky, to guard the border. Yang Wenguang and the emperor's envoy felt that it was difficult to resist the public feelings, so they asked Ma Tongchi to report to She Taijun for ruling.

She Jun proposed to make another coffin, put Liulang's clothes and treasure knife inside, and repair Liulang's tomb in the north city of Juzhou to comfort the local people. Since then, the Liulang Tomb has been built in Juzhou, which has become a memorial place for the people to commemorate the national heroes. The civil officials get off the sedan chair here, the military attachés get off their horses here, and the people worship every festival.

A long time ago, there was an orphan in a village, and it was his kind neighbors who adopted him and brought him to adulthood. When the young man reached the age of twenty, he built two huts on the edge of the village and began to live independently.

No matter who was in trouble, he would be eager to help, and everyone praised the young man as a hardworking and kind child. He went out early and returned to the field every day to work hard, but he was busy with the work in the field and couldn't take care of the work in the house, and often ate cold meals and leftovers. One day, when the young man came home from his work, he saw a large snail on the side of the road, and out of curiosity, he took it home and kept it in a water tank. The next day, the young man went to work in the fields as usual, but when he came home and was ready to cook, he found that the hot meal was already on the table. The lad thought it was done for him by kind neighbors? Unexpectedly, for several days in a row, when the young man came home from work, he could eat fragrant meals. So the young man thanked the neighbors, but they said they didn't do it. The young man was puzzled, and was determined to get to the bottom of it. That morning, the young man took up his hoe again and went to work in the field, and he did not wait for evening, but came back early to hide outside the fence and watch the movement of the house. I saw a beautiful girl come out of the water tank, busy making a fire and cooking, and after a while, the smell of food wafted from the house. The young man quickly pushed the door into the house, went straight to the water tank, and saw that the big field snail was only an empty shell lying quietly in the water tank. The young man walked up to the girl who was cooking and asked, "Girl, where are you from?" Why help me?" When the girl saw the young man suddenly break in, she didn't know what to do, she wanted to go back to the water tank, but the young man blocked her way, so she had to tell the truth. It turned out that the girl was a white water plain girl in the heavenly galaxy, because the Jade Emperor knew that the young man had no parents since he was a child, and he sympathized with him, and because the young man was willing to help others, he sent her to pretend to be a snail to help the young man.

Miss Tianluo said: "I originally wanted to help you for a few more years, and then leave after you have become rich and married a wife, but you suddenly broke in today and knew my identity, and I can't stay in the world anymore." The young man was very remorseful, blamed himself for being too reckless, and repeatedly begged Miss Tianluo to stay. The snail girl pointed to the snail shell in the water tank and said, "I will leave the snail shell to you, you use it to hold grain, and a lot of grain will come out, you can use this grain to help the villagers." ”

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the sky, followed by heavy rain. After the storm, the snail girl was gone. The young man looked at the snail shell and looked at it for a long time, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Later, the young man used this snail shell to hold grain, and the shell was always full of grain, and there was more and more food at home. But the young man still worked hard and gave a lot of food to the villagers. The villagers who were helped were very grateful to the snail girl, and everyone built a temple to commemorate the helpful snail girl.

Once upon a time, there were two brothers, the eldest was arrogant and domineering, and the second was gentle. After the death of their parents, the brothers divided the family property, the eldest divided the good land and good houses under his own name, and the second child only got one ear room and one acre of thin land.

One day, the second child heard a sparrow cry at home, and when he went out, it turned out to be a young finch that fell from the nest on the eaves and broke his leg. He looked strange and pitiful, so he picked it up, found a strip of cloth, carefully wrapped it around its leg, and then put it back in the nest. The little finch's legs healed quickly, and when it came out of the nest, it flew as freely as any other sparrow.

In the spring, when it was time to sow seeds, the sparrow flew to the windowsill of the second child's house with a watermelon seed in his mouth, put the watermelon seed down, and flew away again. The second child felt fun, so he planted this seed, and soon sprouted, growing a particularly strong seedling seedling, under the careful care of the second child, produced a pillow-sized watermelon, picked it off on August 15 and carried it home, with a knife everything, actually cut out a golden doll.

The joy in his heart is beyond words. Since then, the second child has lived a prosperous life. Besides, the eldest felt strange when he saw the poor brother suddenly become rich, so he went to ask the second brother how he got rich. The second child will not tell lies, and tell him the truth. When the boss listened, he had a bad idea.

When he returned home, he took a ladder to look for a sparrow's nest on the eaves, and took out a little finch that had not yet come out of the nest, and broke its leg, and the little finch "chirped" in pain. After that, he also followed the second child's practice, connected the little sparrow's legs, wrapped them in strips of cloth, and gave them medicine.

Then he put the sparrow back in the nest. The sparrow came out of the nest and was able to fly, and brought him a watermelon seed. When spring came, the boss happily planted it, and devoted all his attention to this seedling, hoping to produce a golden doll.

The watermelon was knotted, and it was quite big, and on August 15, he took it off and took it home, and slowly cut it with a knife. The boss couldn't mention the strength at that time, and muttered to the bone person: "It's gold and not gold, it's nothing, but what are you suffering!" ”

Since then, the eldest has been unlucky, and the situation is getting worse day by day, but the life of the second child is getting more and more prosperous.

Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang in the late Qing Dynasty, was edicted to enter Beijing, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was promoted to the Empress Dowager, but because she failed to get the order to return to office, she did not dare to leave Beijing for a while. Who would have thought that this would be a year.

Zhang Zhidong has a wide nature, has nothing to do in the capital, and is so bored that he panics, so he often takes his servants to the antique street glaze factory to hang out, from the east exit to the west exit, where the antique shop must go in to have a look. After a long time, the owner of the glaze factory did not know him. One day, Zhang Zhidong came to an antique shop, and saw an octagonal jar on the Zhu column in the store, and there were words on the eight sides of this jar, and the seal, subordinate, and grass were prepared, which seemed to be the inscription of the ancients.

Although Zhang Zhidong has the heart to identify, the moss and purple moss on the cylinder body are mottled and blurred, and the handwriting is blurred, making it difficult to read sentences. There is a defect on the side of the mouth of the cylinder, revealing a very fine red wire, and it appears that the cylinder is hewn from a single boulder. There are several colorful goldfish in the tank, swimming proudly among duckweed and algae.

Zhang Zhidong fell in love with this stone jar and asked the shopkeeper what age it was made. The shopkeeper replied: "Don't hide it from my lord, when I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell me that my ancestors used to gamble with others, and the other party lost 10,000 taels of silver and couldn't pay, so he used this jar as collateral. It is rumored that this jar is an antiquity in the palace of the Ming Dynasty. After breaking into the king Li Bai into Beijing, he took all the gold, silver and jewelry away in a car, and abandoned this cylinder, so this cylinder was lost to the people.

As for what generation made it, who made it, the small knowledge is shallow, and there is no way to test. Zhang Zhidong listened to the shopkeeper's words, and couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, so he asked the price of the stone jar. The shopkeeper replied: "The last words of the ancestors, where the emperor's relatives and relatives and the eight banners come to buy, they must have more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Judging from the small, the old man seems to be unable to buy this cylinder. Zhang Zhidong listened, laughed, and said that he had bought this tank. Subsequently, he left the antique shop. Back at his residence, Zhang Zhidong borrowed 5,000 taels of silver from a few old friends because he didn't have so much silver around him for a while.

The next morning, Zhang Zhidong came to the glaze factory and wanted to buy the jar for 5,000 taels of silver, but the shopkeeper said that he would not sell it.

Zhang Zhidong said: "This jar is fortunate to meet me, the master of the goods, so I am willing to give 5,000 taels of silver, although there are many rich people in Beijing, but no one may be willing to buy this thing with a lot of money." The shopkeeper replied, "The master is a knowledgeable person, which is good." However, the antique industry has always paid attention to selling personal goods.

Today, when you meet the master, how can you sell it at a reduced price?" Zhang Zhidong smiled and asked the shopkeeper to accept the 5,000 taels of silver first, saying that he would definitely replenish it in a few days. The shopkeeper reluctantly agreed. Soon after, Zhang Zhidong's edict was issued, and he asked his subordinates to wrap the stone jar in thick felt and carry it to the return car.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion of Wuchang, Hubei, Zhang Zhidong put the stone jar outside the backyard study, and imitated the practice of the store in the capital, specially made a Zhu Fence to place the stone jar, and then, invited the learned officials of the provincial capital to come to verify what year and who made the stone jar. Among the officials who came were Liang Xinghai, the envoy of the inspector, and several naturalists who were eager to learn about ancient times.

After carefully looking at the stone jar, everyone did not know the age of the stone jar, let alone who made it, but they agreed that the stone jar was indeed a rare treasure, and they were amazed. Zhang Zhidong listened to everyone's comments, and couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows and laugh.

One night, a thunderstorm struck. The storm carried hail, and the momentum was like ten thousand arrows, pouring the river into the sea. In the morning, after the rain, Zhang Zhidong came to the courtyard, only to see that the stone tank had turned into a pile of mud, and a few goldfish were fluttering in the water. Zhang Zhidong suddenly realized, only then did he know that the stone jar was originally a fake, and he fell for the owner of the antique shop.

Just when Zhang Zhidong was annoyed, the doorman suddenly reported that Liang Xinghai came to see him. As soon as Liang Xinghai saw Zhang Zhidong, he asked, "Was the stone jar okay last night?" Zhang Zhidong told Liang Xinghai the result with a smile. Liang Xinghai felt sorry for Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Zhidong stroked his hair and laughed: "Fortunately, I only borrowed 5,000 taels of silver that day, if I really borrowed 10,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that I will pay the store." The people and things in this world look like ancient times, but they may not be so. ”

According to legend, the Xicang Bridge on the Xue River was built during the Ming Dynasty.

This three-hole stone arch bridge, which is said to be a royal project, is very large-scale, and there are many skilled workers who are recruited, and there are even more migrant workers who are requisitioned. When the bridge was built, the construction site was very lively, like a small market.

One day, a white-haired old stonemason came from other places to make a stone nest for the Hebei Ya family. He fought for several days in a row, and when he was resting, he would go around the construction site and watch people carving water beasts, stone lions, and stone pillars on the bridge railing.

Gao Xing also talked a few words with the masonry door, and even the leaders on the construction site, he also went up to nag a few words. Everyone said that this old man was a pedantic and a dog biting a mouse - nosy.

The old stonemason made the stone nest, and he said to the master, "You have so many stones, I will make you a stone pier, how convenient it is to sit and eat food." The master was glad to do so, so he let him continue the fight.

When hitting this stone pier, the old stonemason should not be too careful, he measured it, and someone asked him: "What is the effort of a stone stone?" When the old stonemason heard this, he just smiled and did not speak, and he knew to work with his head down. On the day when the stone was made, it was just in time for the stone arch circle of the bridge to close the dragon gate.

I don't know why, but at the end, there was just a small stone missing that couldn't touch the stubble. At that time, the sky was very cloudy, and it was going to rain heavily, and the stone arch circle did not close the dragon gate immediately. But it's too late to make it now! The masonry and the officials in charge of the project were in a hurry, like ants on a hot pot.

Just when everyone was embarrassed, the old stonemason walked again. He looked at the gap and said to the engineers, "I have a stone in there, see if it's appropriate to put it here." When the masons heard this, they immediately moved the stone with the old stonemason, and put it in the middle, but it was exactly the same, and it was tightly buckled. The bridge was built, and the officials were delighted. When I remembered to go to the old stonemason to thank him, there was still the shadow of the old man! In front of the light, there was a big red note that read: Construction Madaha, the bridge arch error. Lu Ban came to help, and thanked the farmer with silver.

After reading the note, people learned that the old stonemason was Lu Ban secretly helping the royal project. According to Lu Ban's instructions, the officials rewarded the family that beat the stone nest with twenty taels of silver.
