Where did this joke come from?

The original text is as follows:

As soon as Kong Yiji arrived at the store, all the drinkers looked at him and smiled. Some shouted: "Kong Yiji, you have added a new scar on your face!" He didn't answer. He said to the cupboard, "Heat two bowls of wine and ask for a plate of fennel beans." I will pay a lot of money.

They shouted loudly again: "You must have stolen from others again!" Kong Yiji opened his eyes and said, "How can you make people innocent out of thin air ..." "What innocence? I saw with my own eyes what book you stole and hung it up the day before yesterday. "

Kong Yiji blushed and the veins stood out on his forehead, arguing that "stealing books is not stealing ... stealing books! ..... how can you steal the matter of a scholar? "

Kong Yiji's creative process

Kong Yiji wrote it in the winter of 19 18. At that time, "New Youth" was taken as the position. Although the prologue of the New Culture Movement has begun, the countercurrent of feudal retro is still rampant. Although 1906 abolished the imperial examination system, the social foundation for training people like Kong Yiji still exists, and the Confucian and Mencius' way is still the core content of social education, so it is possible to produce a new "Kong Yiji".

To save the younger generation, we must not let them follow the old path of Kong Yiji. Lu Xun chose the Xianheng Hotel in Luzhen, a corner of the society, to artistically show the life of this poor intellectual in the society more than 20 years ago, that is, by comparing Kong Yiji's life track with the current education situation at that time, to inspire readers to think about social education and school education at that time and criticize the feudal education system and the imperial examination system.
