"Where is the iron?" (See Taiping Guangji, Volume 262)

There is a man named Hu in Fengxian County who forgets his name, spoils food and plays games out of line. It's good to send an inspector in the city, but it's the same. The communication is good. Every time I know chess, it must be from Dan to dusk, and my character has stopped and I am tireless. However, when I killed you, I entered the middle door. Later, I came to play chess again. In this case, I go out early and come back late every day, and I have never set a dish for Zhang, so I am hungry and frozen to death. Got it. Cover it and come back.

Comments: secular goods, secular food, secular and contemptuous. Kim, be stingy. This word means stingy. Character stops, and character is the meaning of playing chess here. The ancients promoted calligraphy and painting in Qin, chess and calligraphy, and played a few games of chess, which also showed a person's character.

Inspector Zhang often plays chess in Hu county magistrate's office, one game a day. Hu doesn't care about the food of his subordinates. "However, you killed Jun and entered the middle gate. Later, you came to play chess again." However, I went into the back room for a while and opened a "small stove" by myself. Zhang was very unhappy when he learned about it, so he used the word "where is the iron" to allude to Hu.

At dusk, he said, "Let's go. This is extremely difficult. " Hu Weiwei is just. When Zhang left, Hu suddenly thought, "This person is very ignorant. What's the point? " Urgent order to chase it. When he arrived, he asked, "What is the meaning of knowing the public?"

Zhang Fukuan sat down and said, "Sir, don't you know there is no iron?" Said, "I don't know." He said, "I've seen the furnace master, but what about iron drills and long sticks?" Only this one is. The fire in the furnace is raging, and the iron juice may not have melted, so that this stick has been lit in the furnace, and it will come out when it moves. Only this is iron. " Say goodbye.

When Hu came into the room, he talked to his wife. Think twice before you act, you will know that he bites himself every day, but when he dies, he comes out to play chess. Guests who are tired of eating in Jin are often laughed at by people at that time.

Comment: Yi and Yin are in the same bed, so it is meaningless to simply borrow the sound here. Hey, sharing a bed, eating and drinking without restraint.

Zhang explained that the allusion of "grasping iron" should be forging process, whether it is quenching, tempering, normalizing or annealing. The processes of heating, cooling, reheating and cooling are indispensable.

It's true that the iron drill is on fire and the county magistrate is on fire. I just don't know if "grabbing iron" means "gluttony". hahaha.
