"Smile Well" Literary Knowledge

Smile Well", written by Shi Chengjin in the Qing Dynasty. Existing in the fourth year of Qianlong's reign (1739)

The original two volumes of "Heirlooms" and the full continuation of "Ren Shi Tong". Perhaps it is because the work

is so excellent that after the publication of "Smile Well", some people continued to change the name of the author

and falsely add their own name on it, in an attempt to take advantage of it. To make a name for yourself, or to claim it as one's own. In the reign of Guangxu and Xinsi of the Qing Dynasty (1881), some people divided the stone book and signed it as follows:

"In the summer and May of the Xinsi year of Guangxu, the Taoist Zhimi inscribed it in Shenjiang Inn", there is time.

There are people in the place, which is really impressive. In the summer of June of the following year (1882), there was another title

The owner of the Pinghua Hall. It is said that the Mi Taoist version was carved, and it was renamed "New Ping Xiao De Hao". Another title: "Different Talks and Laughter Series". This communication process can also be described as a "strange".

Shi Chengjin, a native of Yangzhou, was named Tianji and named Xingzhai. He is filial to his relatives and loyal to his parents. He has written four episodes of "Heirlooms", which take common things at home and narrate them in simple slang

with the intention of persuading the world, which is quite popular.

As one of the four episodes of "Heirloom", "Smile Well" naturally

does not abandon its purpose of persuading the world. Shi Chengjin's "The Autobiography of a Good Laughter" puts it clearly

Plainly: "Yu Nai wrote a book of jokes, and his comments are warning, so that readers who have ever been guilty of partiality,

ambiguous All kinds of greed and delusion will make you feel ashamed and repent when you hear his laughter, and you will become a good person." It is precisely because of this that he "named his book "because of his good laugh".

The title poem of "The First Collection of Laughing Well" also goes like this: "People use jokes to laugh, and I use jokes to wake people up.

Although playing Samadhi, it can be called a golden needle to save the world. "Using light-hearted and funny jokes

to shoulder the important task of persuading the world and saving people is also the "wonder" of "Laughing Well".

It is precisely because Shi Chengjin had this purpose in mind when creating jokes that he did not forget to seriously add his own comments after each

joke. For example, at the end of the chapter "Consideration

Two Hundred Years Old Birthday", the author said: "Two hundred years later, thousands and hundreds

people came to congratulate them, how to greet them one by one? , how to entertain, how to express gratitude, you must also worry about it in advance, so as not to be obsessed with it. "The writing is written in reverse, which adds to the charm of the joke. At the end of "The Prostitute with Black Teeth

The Prostitute with White Teeth", the author goes on to say casually: "Nowadays, people tend to cover up their bad deeds in many ways

and show off their good deeds when they meet others. , there are many prostitutes like this, the most ridiculous ones. They only have a little money, but they are full of wealth. They have only read a few books, but they criticize people everywhere. , showing that she is very talented; she can only do a few ordinary things, but she exaggerates her ability. It seems that she is always a prostitute who boasts about her white teeth.

The span between a prostitute and someone who laughs at the self-showing off of the world is quite large.

It can be seen that the stone-turned-gold joke never departs from its roots. Naturally, such forced work often brings with it some turban-like spirit, and it can also be enjoyed by others.
