A few days ago, when I read "Tang Poetry Chronicle", I saw the following allusion:
Wuji ridiculed Ouyang Xun's obscene shape: "Shrug your arms into a mountain, bury your shoulders and be afraid of coming out." Who's Lin Pavilion painted this macaque. The inquiry responded: "The head of the rope is warm and the back is warm, and the crotch is cold." Only because the heart is muddy, so the dough is dough. Taizong smiled and said: "Inquire about the queen is not afraid of the queen."”The great calligrapher Ouyang Xun and the eldest grandson Wuji were officials in the same dynasty, Ouyang Xun was not good-looking, a little mountain-shaped shoulders, and a short neck, and the eldest grandson Wuji made fun of him like a macaque in person. Ouyang Xun was quick to think, and he opened his mouth and replied, saying Eldest Sun Wuji, you have big braids to warm your back, and you don't dare to wear open shorts for fear of catching a cold stomach, your heart is muddy and doughy, how can a big fat man be embarrassed to laugh at me. Taizong probably admired Ouyang Xun's shrewdness, and said in the middle: Ouyang, are you really not afraid of the eldest grandson queen?
Behind the ridicule and wit between the courtiers, there is a somewhat light taste of literati. Searching for previous notes, there are still a few similar stories or remarks, which are kneaded together and shared.
The literati are light, since ancient times" This sentence comes from the Three Kingdoms Wei Cao Pi's "Classics ** The original text is as follows:
Literati have been light on each other since ancient times. Fu Yi is in Bangu, and he is in the middle of the ear. And Gu Xiaozhi, with his brother Chaoshu, said: "Wu Zhong can belong to the text, for the history of Lantai Ling, and he can't rest by writing." "Madame is good at seeing herself. The text is not one, and it is rare to be good, so it is based on each other's strengths, and each is light. The Chinese saying: "There are disadvantages in the family, and you can enjoy a thousand gold." "I don't see the trouble.This is to take the matter of Fu Yi and Ban Gu to talk about the various styles of writing articles, and we must judge ourselves and others, and we cannot cherish ourselves with a broom and take the literati lightly. Fu Yi and Ban Gu both have literary names, but Fu Yi is the history of Lantai Lingshi, and Ban Gu wrote a letter to his younger brother, saying that Fu Yi "can't take a break from writing". Cao Pi is the inherent "invisible" problem of the batch class.
Since then, the topic of the contempt of literati has often been brought up, either as an after-dinner anecdote, or as an argument for the struggle on the platform, which has continued in history. Let's take a look at a few interesting facts:
(1) Attacking each other by name or place of origin
Zhuge Ling and Wang Cheng fought for the order of the surname, and the king said: 'Why not talk about Ge and Wang, and Yun Wang and Ge?'The order said: "Donkey and horse, not horse and donkey, donkey is better than horse evil?".(The World Speaks New Language, Arrangement Tune).If you say that the era with the most cheap people in history, I am afraid it must be the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Song Dynasty. The above two stories are from "The World Says New Language", Zhuge Ling is Zhuge Hui (once Jiang Ning Ling), Wang Chengxiang is Wang Dao, the two compete for the order of surnames, Zhuge Hui compares donkeys and horses. Xi Chisel and Sun Xinggong did not know each other, but the two belittled each other by their origins, Xi Chisel Tooth is a Chu person, Sun Xinggong quoted the original words of "The Book of Poetry, Cai Jiao" Xinggong is a native of Taiyuan, and Xi Chisel also quoted the words in the "Book of Songs, June" to fight back, when the Zhou Dynasty attacked the Lynx had been to Taiyuan.Xi Chisel and Sun Xinggong did not know each other, and they sat together in Huan Gong. Huan Yusun: "You can speak with Xi to join the army." Sun Yun: "'Stupid barbarism', dare to be with the big state!."Xi Yun: "'Bo felling lynx', as for Taiyuan." (The World Speaks New Language, Arrangement Tune).
(2) Joking with appearance
An example of this is contained in the "Chronicle of Tang Poetry" at the beginning, and there is a similar story in "The New Language of the World":
Kang Seng Yuan's eyes are deep and his nose is high, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng adjusts it every time. Seng Yuan said: "The mountain of the nose face, the abyss of the eye." If the mountain is not high, it is not spiritual, and if the abyss is not deep, it is not clear. ”Kang Seng Yuan is a famous monk in the Jin Dynasty, especially good at Qing talk, he is a native of the Western Regions but was born in Chang'an, naturally with the blood of the Western Regions, with a high nose bridge and deep eyes, different from the Central Plains. Director Wang often makes fun of him for this, presumably because of "stinky foreigners with big noses" and the like. Kang Sengyuan's self-justification can be said to be unfamiliar with the culture of the Central Plains, neither humble nor arrogant, and naturally appreciated.Zhang Wuxing is eight years old, and he has lost his teeth, and he knows that it is not often when he arrives first, so he said: "What is the opening of the dog sinus in the mouth of the king?"Zhang Yingsheng replied: "It is making the monarchs come in and out from now on!."”
Zhang Wuxing lost his teeth at the age of eight, and was ridiculed for opening his teeth like opening a dog hole, and he replied: The dog hole is convenient for you to enter and exit. Eight-year-old is so smart.
(3) Making fun of life customs
Wang Mingqing's "Waving Lu" contains:
Zhao Zhengfu, Prime Minister Yuan Youzhong and Huang Taishi Lu Zhi are both in the pavilion, and Lu Zhi is often light with his Lu people. Every time the official comes to ask about the food, the husband will say: "Eat steamed cakes in the coming day." "A one-day dinner order, Lu Zhiyun: "I want to have one word from the beginning to the end, and compound it into one word." The husband pondered for a long time and said: "He Nu is a ghost Wei." Lu Zhi responded: "Come to the force and straighten it out", Ye Zhengfu's voice, sat down and laughed.Zhao Zhengfu is Zhao Mingcheng's father, Li Qingzhao's father-in-law Zhao Tingzhi, the word Zhengfu. Huang Luzhi is naturally Huang Tingjian. Huang Tingjian looked down on Zhao Tingzhi very much because he was from Shandong (the region is black, and it has been since ancient times). Zhao Tingzhi, a native of Shandong, was twice in the context of the party struggle in the Song Dynasty, which can not be said to be scheming, Li Qingzhao once commented that his father-in-law was "hot and warm-hearted", but his personality is likely to be an upright and simple, uninteresting person, and as a new party that supports the reform of the law, he is already on the opposite side of Su Shi, Huang Tingjian and other conservatives, and it is inevitable that he will be attacked by the old party.
Shandong people like to eat pasta, and it is difficult to change their habits, so every time the kitchen comes to ask what to eat tomorrow, Zhao Tingyi must say, "Eat steamed cakes in the future", and steamed cakes are steamed buns. Huang Tingjian, who is a cheap colleague, gave the order to the question at the dinner, five words in a sentence, and the first four words were combined into the last word, Zhao Tingzhi was more serious, so he said "He Nu is a ghost Wei", which was blunt when he listened. Huang Tingjian estimated that he had already made a good draft, "to make a good effort", and he must have been triumphant and proud at that time, learning Zhao Tingzhi's Shandong accent "Eat steamed cakes in the future"!is so cheap, and laughs at colleagues in public, no wonder he has been repeatedly belittled.
There are many more such stories, some are simple jokes, some are personal attacks, and even you are dead or alive. In modern times, Lu Xun has written several articles on the topic of being inferior to others, saying that literati are inferior to each other, which is nothing more than three situations, one is inferiority, the other is self-exaltation, and the third is criticism. It can be described as three points. Lu Xun said again: "It's disgusting to keep saying the same thing." In the so-called literary world, the year before last, there was a shout that 'literati have no line', last year it was a fuss about the 'Beijing School and Shanghai School', and this year a new slogan has been issued, called 'Literati are light'. "But we are not in the Han and Wei dynasties, and we don't have to be like the literati at that time. The literati of the Jieting Essay Period II Literati were also roughly as light as the Wei and Jin dynasties, with various trends of thought and schools surging, the old, the new, the Chinese and the foreign, disturbing and attacking each other. Lu Xun may have seen the drawbacks.
Wang Dingjun put forward in his memoirs:
As I said, the Chinese literary world.It hits the nail on the head. Looking at today, I really hope that there will be a few more people like Huang Luzhi, and more "light", so that they can stimulate a little bit of the sharpness of the times, right?Three. In the 10s and 40s, the literati were light;Five.
In the 10s and 60s, the literati harmed each other;Seven.
In the 10s and 80s, the literati forgot each other and were busy making money.
