Who can tell us something interesting about the ancient literati in China?

1. Wang Xi (xρ), a calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty in China, loved calligraphy, and used to eat Chinese ink as garlic paste.

2. Xia Sai Qu by Tang Lulun: "Wild geese are soaring in the bright moonlight, and the leaders of the Tatars are fleeing in the dark. We are chasing them with light horses, heavy snow and heavy bows and swords." Hua wrote a poem and asked, "When it snows in the north, the geese return to the south early. How can you see geese flying when the moon is dark and windy? " However, some scholars said: "There are geese in the first snow in Northern Cyprus, and the snow reflects the geese." Su Dongpo's interesting story

Su Dongpo was a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He had a deep friendship with Huairen, a monk in Baiyun Temple at that time, and they appreciated each other. But when they are together, they often bicker and tell many humorous stories.

One day Su Dongpo went to play with monk Huairen again. As soon as he entered the temple gate, he shouted, "Where's the bald donkey?"

When monk Huairen saw that it was Su Dongpo, he said with a smile, "Dongpo eats grass."

2 "Shoupeng Wang's limerick"

Shoupeng Wang was the number one scholar during the reign of Empress Dowager Cixi in Qing Dynasty. Someone once questioned that she was the top scholar of that year.

Because of the completeness of Empress Dowager Cixi's birthday at that time, it was said that it was useful for reading officials to read Shoupeng Wang's name. In order to win the favor of Cixi, Shoupeng Wang, who was not the first, was transferred to the first place. Empress Dowager Cixi was very lucky when she saw this name at first sight, which indicated that she (Wang) would live as long as Peng Zu. Peng Zu, originally a figure in myths and legends, is said to have lived for 800 years, and is a veritable old birthday girl.

Shoupeng Wang's three words can coincidentally symbolize the longevity of Empress Dowager Cixi, and her inner love can be imagined. Therefore, she selected Shoupeng Wang as the top scholar and rewarded the scholar.

In fact, Shoupeng Wang's attempt to celebrate Cixi's birthday is just a coincidence, and there is no necessary connection. Afterwards, Shoupeng Wang also made a doggerel to attack the matter:

"Some people say that I am accidental, and I say that it is difficult to be accidental.

Even if there are accidents in the world, there can be accidents and accidents. "

3 Ji Xiaolan's pipe

Ji Xiaolan, a great scholar in Qianlong, often usurped Sikuquanshu. He is full of energy and can write dozens of articles day and night. He is a heavy smoker, and ordinary pipes can't satisfy his addiction, so he specially asked craftsmen to make a pipe four or five times larger than ordinary pipes, which can hold a lot of cigarettes in the barrel.

When he goes to court every day, the smoke in his pipe can be sucked from home to the meridian gate in the sedan chair.

Once, his pipe was stolen by a thief, and all his family were frightened. He was afraid that the master would blame him and could not bear it. After reporting this to him, he smiled and said, "My pipe is so big that no one can use it. You take two dollars to the Liulichang thrift store to make sure you can find it. " As expected, who went to Liulichang and found this pipe.

4 "Wu Bangdian Borrows Tea"

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a famous scholar Wu Bangdian appeared in Fengxi, Chaozhou, and officially worshipped the official position of Baoqing, a monk who was then a member of the General Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

He is humorous and good at guessing riddles. Once, he was shy at home, so he sent a servant wearing a straw hat and clogs to his neighbor's house to ask for a bag of things. The servant asked him what he wanted, please make it clear. He said it goes without saying, you will know when you go. The servant inexplicably went to his neighbor's house and told him what his master said. The neighbor smiled and asked him to bring back a pack of tea. It turned out that this was a charade. Servant is "human", straw hat is cursive top, and clogs on feet are wooden characters under herringbone. Together, it is a word "tea".

It's wonderful!
