Complicity. The idiom "沆瀣連線線線線組級組級� If you look at the origin of this idiom, you will feel that it is still very interesting.
Tang Yulin is a notebook written by Wang Yan of the Song Dynasty in imitation of "The World Says New Language". The World Says New Language" is a notebook of Liu Yiqing during the Liu and Song dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties**, and the seventh article of Lu Xun's "History of China" says: "Although it is just a small language, it is all words and movements in the world, and it is out of the cage of the monster." It is distinguished from the "Book of Ghosts and Spirits of the Six Dynasties". Chen Zhensun, a bibliophile and bibliographer in the Southern Song Dynasty, described "Tang Yulin" in his private collection catalogue "Zhizhai Shulu Inscriptions" Volume 11 "** Family Class": "Chang'an Wang Yan Zhengfu wrote, with Tang ** fifty families, imitating "Shishuo" divided into 35 categories, and 17 benefits, for 52 doors. But the "Tang Yulin" we see today is divided into eight volumes, only eighteen are listed, listed in the previous one to five volumes, and six to eight volumes are addendums, without separate doors. The story of "Collusion" is from Book 7:
Cui Xiangxin knew the tribute, and he got Cui Lian. Shi Mu has the same surname, and Lian is the most known. Tan Zhi said: "The protégé of the lord is in cahoots. ”
Wang Yan was a person in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a Hanlin scholar Qian Yizi Xibai, who was the son of Qian Liang, the king of Wuyue, and the nephew of Qian Yu, and his uncle Qian Yu and brother Qian Kun attached to the Song Dynasty. He also wrote a notebook**, The New Book of the South, in ten volumes, and the fifth volume of the fifth volume also contains this incident, which is placed together with another anecdote from the field:
Du Xianquan, the twelfth year of the middle school, let Lu dispose of the power. There is a drama that says: "The right to judge and the right to deal with the protégé can be said to be the right not to lose power." In another two years, Cui Xin let Cui Lian go, and Tan Zhi said, "The protégé of the lord is full of anger." ”
Tang Yulin" is known as the comprehensive mining of 50 kinds of Tang people, and Qian Yi is from the early Song Dynasty, which shows that this story has been widely spread in the Tang and Song dynasties. Judging from the narratives of Wang and Qian, the story itself does not mean to disparage and satirize Cui Xin, in fact, Cui Xin did not cheat on the admission of Cui Lian, but was just made a joke by "Tan Zhi" because of the names of the two people.
Xianlian: "Chu Ci" Qu Yuan's "Far Travel": "Drink the six qi and drink the sunrise, gargle the sun and contain the morning glow." Wang Yi's "Chapters and Sentences": "Abandon the grains and suck the Tao." Eat the essence of the day, and eat the yuan symbol. "Lingyang Ziming Sutra": Spring food morning glow, morning glow, the beginning of the red yellow gas is also about to come out. Autumn food is reduced to yin, and those who are reduced to yin will be red and yellow after the sun is gone. Winter drinks are in the middle of the night, and those who are in the north are also in the middle of the night. Summer food is positive, and those who are positive are also in the south of the sun. And the Xuanhuang Qi of Heaven and Earth is the six qi. ”
and "Anthology" Volume 18 Ji Shuye (Kang) "Qin Fu" "Meal Lianxi with Chaoxia" Six Ministers Note: "Xin, Hu Langche;."Lian, Hu Jieche. (Zhang) milling (pronounced xiǎn) said: 沆瀣, clear dew also, eat and drink;The morning glow, the red clouds, will be brought and admired. Han Sima Xiangru also said in "The Fu of Adults": "Breathing is like a morning glow." According to this, it can be seen that "沆瀣" is a two-tone conjunctive word, the original meaning refers to the water vapor at night, or refers to the dew condensed by the water vapor, in the minds of the ancients, this is an extremely clean thing, containing the aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, the two buddies surnamed Cui in the Tang Dynasty used them in their names. They never imagined that because of such a joke, even such a beautiful word, in the impression of today's people, it has almost become a dirty thing.
