You Mengying: When Chicken Soup for the Soul Meets Shadgy Netizens

Rereading the Qingyan of the Ming and Qing Dynasties recently, I laughed out loud at the comments in "Youmengying".

There is a hot search on Weibo "What would it be like if ancient people had a circle of friends?" I think it is probably like "Youmengying".

The blogger posts chicken soup jokes in a serious and quiet manner, while a few literary and wretched men are making excuses or causing trouble, or like "Brother, you are so awesome", "Old iron 666", or A look of obscene lust.

A publishing house turned it into a circle of friends and it sold very well. Speaking of which, my hands are itching to place an order.

Qingyan, also known as "Qingyan sketches", or good words, clear words, meaningful words, and cold words, became popular in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

They are generally short in length, with contrasting sentences, and often use aphorisms and parallel sentences.

And the themes are wide ranging, including thoughts and reflections on family, country and world, history and literature, worldly affairs and life, and even life interests such as flowers, birds, fish and insects, mountains, forests, springs and stones.

The most important thing is that it is rich in connotation, has aphoristic philosophy, and can make people savor and ponder carefully.

The more famous ones are "Cai Gen Tan", "Moaning Language", "Xiao Chuang You Ji", "Night Talk Around the Fire", "You Mengying", etc.

It can be said that it is a must-have outfit for flirting with girls when traveling at home. It is much better than the young man's 45-degree angle looking up at the sky.

"You Meng Shadow" is one of the best. Lin Yutang "has been tirelessly promoting the book "You Meng Shadow" for decades." As early as the late 1930s, "You Meng Shadow" was "Translated into English, titled "Sweet Dream Shadows".

"You Mengying" shows the intellectual taste of the middle class and the life attitude of traditional Chinese literati.

The singing and singing of Zhang Chao and his fans is regarded as a time-travel of the "Weibo body", a celebrity and a man of unrivaled style. There is a sense of vulgarity in the seriousness, and there is also vicissitudes in the vulgarity. Just like what is said in Hong Kong movies: gentle on the outside, open on the inside.

According to statistics, more than 120 writers have written more than 500 comments for it, which is unprecedented.

These include: the author of "Yingmei'an Yiyu", a scumbag from a generation who dared to open up the frontier, Zhang Zhupo, the unruly and argumentative person who commented on "The Plum in the Golden Ping", the famous opera writer Kong Shangren, the author of "The Peach Blossom Fan", and Wang Shizhen, a great poet of the generation. , painting leader Cha Shibiao, mathematics master Mei Wending, etc., as well as rare and elegant people such as diplomatic ambassadors, bird masters, chess geeks, etc. who are rare in the classics.

Let’s take a look at the circle of friends of this group of wretched, artistic and funny ancient men.

Worrying about the clouds for the moon, worrying about beetles for books, worrying about the wind and rain for flowers, worrying about the fate of talented people and beautiful women, this is truly the heart of a Bodhisattva.

Yu Danxin said: As you say, there will be peace and happiness!

Sun Songping said: The so-called "a gentleman has lifelong worries"!

Huang Jiaosan said: "I worry about the fate of talented people and beautiful women." It really makes people wet their blue shirts with tears.

Zhang Zhupo said: The fourth worry is that those who are afraid of poor life cannot bear it.

Jiang Hanzheng said: When I read this book, I couldn't help but worry about it.

Zhupo said again: "Jiangzi's words are just because he is worried about himself."

Listen to the sound of birds in spring, the sound of cicadas in summer, the sound of insects in autumn, the sound of snow in winter, the sound of chess during the day, the sound of flutes under the moon, the sound of pine wind in the mountains, and the sound of bullying by the water. Fang is worthy of being born in this world. If an evil young man scolds and insults, and a fierce wife criticizes, it is really not as good as deafness.

Huang Xianshang said: These various sounds are quite easy to obtain and can be appreciated by human ears.

Zhu Jushan said: The old man of the mountain lives in the mountains and forests of the city, so he said this. If we were in the city of Guangling for a day and asked for the sound of a bird, it would be like the song of a phoenix, Gu Keyi said!

Zhang Yuan said: It can be seen that the evil young wife is not as good as the sun dealing with birds and insects.

He also said: After reading this, you will know the wonder of your deafness.

On the Lantern Festival, you should consider Haoyou, on Dragon Boat Festival, you should consider Liyou, on Chinese Valentine's Day, you should consider Yunyou, on Mid-Autumn Festival, you should consider Danyou, and on Double Nine, you should consider Yiyou.

Zhu Jushan said: Where should I belong among my friends?

Wang Wuzheng said: You should listen between the noble and the rhyme.

Wang Mingyou said: There are many Li friends in Weiyang, few wealthy friends, and even fewer Yun friends. As for Danyou and Yiyou, their traces have been reduced.

Zhang Zhupo said: Friends are easy to get, but those who are willing to consider them are difficult to listen to.

Gu Tianshi said: On New Year's Eve, you must consider your unhappy friends.

Xu Yangu said: But I can't drink it all the time.

You Jinyong said: If you drink lanterns during the Shangyuan Festival, gather silk at the Dragon Boat Festival, drink the twin stars on the Chinese Valentine's Day, drink the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and drink chrysanthemums on the ninth day of the Chongqing Festival, then my friends are all ready.

What people need can be incorporated into poetry, and what things need can be incorporated into paintings.

Gong Banqian said: The things that cannot be painted are pigs, Adu things, and evil boys.

Zhang Zhupo said: Poetry also seeks to be visible and attract people, and painting also seeks to resemble an object.

Shi Tianwai said: People can put it into paintings if they need it, and things can be put into poems if they need it, which is also wonderful.

Mr. Huang Jiuyan said: "People in ancient and modern times must have their couples. The only one who has no couples throughout the ages is Pangu!" He said: "Pangu also had no couples, but we are not old enough to see them. Who is he? When this calamity is over, he will be the last one."

Sun Songping said: With such a vision, it is like looking at the back of an ox!

Hong Qiu Shi said: Not even. There must be two people. There are three people who are partners, there are four people who are partners, and there are five, six, seven, or eight people who are partners. This is something we must not know.

Flowers can invite butterflies, stones can invite clouds, pines can invite wind, water storage can invite duckweeds, platforms can invite moon, bananas can invite rain, and willows can invite cicadas.

Cao Qiuyue said: If you collect books, you can invite friends.

Cui Lianfeng said: You can invite me to make wine.

You Genzhai said: How can we find such a virtuous master?

You Huizhu said: Who is the virtuous master other than Xin Zhai?

Ni Yongqing said: Choose Poems can invite slander.

Lu Yunshi said: Accumulating virtue can invite heaven, and cultivating hard can invite earth, but there is no intention to invite each other. But if you invite someone, it is very different from someone who invites fame and fortune.

Pang Tianchi said: Being unkind can invite wealth.

If the scenery is extremely secluded but really desolate, it is misty and rainy; if the scenery is extremely elegant but really embarrassing, it is poor and sick; if the sound is extremely rhyming but really vulgar, it is the sound of selling flowers. also.

Xie Haiweng said: The thing that is extremely vulgar in words but actually lovely is Aduwu.

Zhang Zhupo said: I am fortunate to be in an extremely elegant state.

Firstly, I hate that the book bag is easy to be eaten; secondly, I hate that there are mosquitoes on summer nights; thirdly, I hate that the platform is easy to leak; fourthly, I hate that the chrysanthemum leaves are too scorched; fifthly, I hate that the pine trees have many ants; sixthly, I hate that the bamboos have fallen leaves; and seventhly, I hate that the osmanthus has many fallen leaves. The lotus is easy to thank, the eight hates the locust for concealing the anemone, the nine hates the peanut thorn, and the ten hates the puffer fish for being poisonous.

Jiang Yao'an said: There are no giant ants in Mount Huangshan pine, so you don't have to hate them.

Zhang Zhupo said: All the hateful things in Ande can be found in Huangshan Mountain!

Shi Tianwai said: I have two other hatreds: one day, a talented person has no ability, and the other day, a beautiful woman is unlucky.

Looking at the mountains upstairs, the snow at the top of the city, the moon in front of the lamp, the clouds in the boat, and the beauties under the moon are a different scene.

Jiang Yunning said: Looking at the clouds in Huangshan is even better.

Ni Yongqing said: When you are an official, you look at Jinshi, and when you are dividing money, you look at literati.

Bi Youwan said: Every time I look at the willows after the rain, I feel that all the dust has washed away them.

You Jinyong said: It’s okay to see snow on the mountains, flowers in the snow, and beauties in the flowers.

The person inside the window is writing on the window paper, and I am writing on the outside of the window, which is excellent.

Jiang Hanzheng said: If a debt collector draws on a piece of paper outside the window, I will see him go away.

It is better to be rich than to be poor; to live with worry is better than to die with joy.

Li Shengxu said: If you live according to the principles, you will be happy but not happy; if you die against the principles, you will be happy but not happy.

Wu Yeren said: I would rather be rich.

Zhang Zhupo said: My wish is too extravagant. If I want to be rich and simple, how can I fulfill my wish?

Those ancient things that are not passed down to the present include howling, swordsmanship, playing chess, and playing ball.

Huang Jiuyan said: Those who were better in ancient times than today were official prostitutes and female Taoist priests.

Zhang Zhupo said: Today's people are absolutely better than those in ancient times. They are capable officials, cunning sticks and shameless.

Pang Tianchi said: Today's teachings must not be passed on to the latter, as they are also eight-legged.

Poetry monks appear again from time to time. If a Taoist priest can write poems, it is nothing more than the sound of footsteps in an empty valley.

Bi Youwan said: It is not difficult for monks and Taoists to be able to write poems; But it is a pity that monks and Taoists do not know the mystical ear of Zen.

Gu Tianshi said: Tao is the third among the three religions. It should be done by a person with the weakest talent, so he must know poetry! Xuanyuan is bright, Changli is fabled.

You Jinyong said: Among monks, snobbery comes first, followed by poetry.

Ni Yongqing said: What I hate is that the method of fasting is not taught.

No childish thing can be disgusted with, except the donkey.

Huang Lüsi said: All old things are detestable; but pine and plum trees are not.

From the age of fourteen or fifteen to twenty-four or five, in these ten years, regardless of Yan, Qin, Wu, or Yue, most of their voices were charming and moving; at first glance, they could tell whether they were beautiful or evil. . "Hearing with the ears is worse than seeing with the eyes", this is what I believe.

Wu Tingweng said: I always use the surplus of ears to make up for the lack of eyesight. Now that I read this, I know that your words are also good again.

Jiang Hanzheng said: The curtain is a prostitute's clothes, which is also very special.

Zhang Zhupo said: If there is an ugly young maid in the house, they should whisper across the screen and put out the candles before they go to bed. How?

Ni Yongqing said: What should we do if we speak harshly of others because of our appearance?

The eyes cannot see by themselves, the nose cannot smell by themselves, the tongue cannot lick by itself, and the hands cannot hold by themselves, but the ears can hear by themselves.

My younger brother Mushan said: Don’t you hear it with absent-mindedness and listen without hearing it? Brother, you are deceiving me!

Zhang Zhupo said: The heart can be confident.

Shi Shiang said: Gu Gu said: The eyebrows and eyes do not know each other, just because they are too close.

Joining couplets, crossing one's neck in essays, responding to orders in the palace, and sending envoys to the country are all the joys of the world.

Di Liren said: Now that we have our heads together and our necks crossed, even if we want to join sentences or write essays, we may not have time.

Wang Zhouci said: It is not easy to envoy a country.

Sun Songping said: Handan’s old dream, I feel disappointed about it.

Zhang Zhupo said: Putting your heads and necks together is a pleasure; couplets and essays are also a pleasure. Therefore, if the two pleasures are combined into one, then two nights should be combined into one night. However, one moment of happiness is better than one day.

Shen Qizhang said: I am afraid that Heaven will also see jealousy.

In "Water Margin" Wu Song asked Chiang Kai-shek: "Why is your surname not Li?" This is a wonderful statement.

Xian Weiqiu asked: Then why is your surname not Li Ye?

Zhu Qigong said: Unless you abstain from drinking, if you encounter a red dress that is not literate, you will definitely be impressed.

Chen Dingjiu said: I'm not good at drinking, and I swear I won't talk to anyone who doesn't drink. If I don't know the taste of Hongqun, I won't be happy to get close to her.

Shi Fucun said: With this layman’s opinion, we can drink freely without any worries.

My younger brother Dong Yan said: Fang Wai also abstained from alms, which is wonderful.

If you are tired of pressing for rent, you should finish your food as early as possible; if you like Lao Na's talk about Zen, you will inevitably give alms often.

Shi Zhongzhou said: The true feelings of lay people and the private wishes of our monks have been written down in one stroke.

The blind venerable said: I don’t know how to talk about Zen, and I don’t dare to ask for alms. I just write about the green mountains to sell my ears.

Everything can be forgotten, but what is unforgettable is a piece of fame and a heart; everything fades away easily, but what remains is three glasses of fine wine.

Zhang Zhupo said: It is the feeling of hearing the chickens dancing and having hot ears after drinking.

Wang Danlu said: If you are intolerant of drinking, fine wine will easily become weak. The most unforgettable thing is the famous person.

Lu Yunshi said: I am afraid that I will not get a good reputation. Danlu's words are truly true.

If it is suitable for the ears but not suitable for the eyes, it is like playing the harp or blowing the flute; if it is suitable for the ears but not suitable for the eyes, it is also like playing the sheng or blowing the pipe.

Li Shengxu said: Those who are suitable for the eyes but not for the ears are like beautiful women with roaring lions; those who are not suitable for the eyes and not suitable for the ears are like dandies with hateful faces and tasteless words.

Pang Tianchi said: What is suitable for the ears and eyes is the skillful speech that makes people look beautiful.

Look at Xiaozhuang, it is suitable to apply it after applying powder.

Yu Danxin said: Looking at the evening makeup, I wonder when Xinzhai thinks it is appropriate?

Zhou Bingzhi said: It cannot be said! It cannot be said!

Huang Jiaosan said: I was combing my hair under the crystal curtain. I wonder if I had applied powder at that time?

Pang Tianchi said: It is better to look at the residual makeup when you are slightly drunk, then your eyes will be dazzled.

The flowers cannot be seen falling, the moon cannot be seen sinking, and the beauty cannot be seen dying.

Zhu Qigong said: You are wrong! As Xun said, the beautiful woman will see her teeth become white and open, and then she will be happy!

Use pine flowers as food, pine nuts as fragrance, pine branches as tails, pine shades as obstacles, and pine waves as encouragement. There are more than a hundred pine trees in the mountain residence, which is really inexhaustible.

Jiang Hanzheng said: If there is a big ant in Song Dynasty, he might as well become the ant king.

Shi Tianwai said: Sitting under the Qiao pine tree, it is like seeing thousands of acres of waves always above your head in the Crystal Palace, it is a true fairyland.

Everything should not be engraved, but if you are reading, you must be engraved; everything should not be greedy, if you buy books, you must be greedy; Everything should not be delusional, but if you do good, you must be delusional.

Yu Danxin said: "Reading must be engraved." Please take away the word "reading" and give it to me. How about it?

Zhang Zhupo said: I am tired of engraving books, so please remove the word "no".

Yang Shengzao said: Doing good deeds without being crazy is to gain fame.

A beautiful concubine is not as good as a wise wife, and a lot of money is not as good as a smooth situation.

Zhang Zhupo said: This is the so-called "people who want to make progress". However, if your wife is not virtuous, how can you use a beautiful concubine? If you don’t have much money, how about a good situation?

Zhang Yuan said: This means that you cannot have both, and you have to give up one and take the other.

Wine can be used as tea, but tea cannot be used as wine; poems can be used as prose, but articles cannot be used as poems; music can be used as lyrics, but lyrics cannot be used as music; the moon can be used as a lamp, but the lamp cannot be used as the moon; A pen can be used as a mouth, but a mouth cannot be used as a pen; a maid can be a slave, but a slave cannot be a maid.

Jiang Hanzheng said: If you are a slave, you will be too close to me. I am afraid that I will "suddenly hear the roar of a lion from the east of the river"!

Zhou Xingyuan said: There are slaves who can be used as maids, but they are a little inferior.

He also said: In recent times, scholar-bureaucrats often indulge in this habit. We, the people who are rushing to steal this false reputation, also want to imitate and respect each other. We are all like this in the world. Doesn't Xin Zhai realize this?

Zhang Zhupo said: If a maid can be a slave, there is an owner of the slave; if a slave cannot be a maid, it is the same as the maid, but not unique to the maid.

Di Mushan said: Brother, when it comes to eating and drinking, I am afraid that the moon cannot be used as a lamp.

Yu Xiangke said: Using a slave as a maidservant means that the young lady is lagging behind when it comes to power.

Flies collect human faces, mosquitoes bite human skin, and they don’t know what human beings are!

Chen Kangchou said: It should be the reincarnation of Toutuo, who only wants to ask for charity.

The person who released the bacteria said: It is unbearable to tell!

Zhang Zhupo said: This is the essence of "Nanhua".

You Hui'an said: Human flesh and blood is only enough for flies and mosquitoes to chew on the ears. From the perspective of me, it is just like a human being; from the perspective of flies and mosquitoes, it looks so fishy and rotten!

Lu Yunshi said: Those who gather human faces are not flies but flies; those who bite human skin are not mosquitoes but mosquitoes.

Knowing clearly that they are human beings, they collect them and suck them, not to mention what they think of them as human beings!

The five colors are both excessive and inferior, but black and white are not excessive.

Du Chacun said: Don’t you know that there was Li Taibai in Tang Dynasty?

Jiang Hanzheng said: Haven’t you heard that "mysterious things are mysterious again"?

You Hui'an said: Those who know this way can only play chess! Laozi said: "Know the white and guard the black."

For humans, women are more beautiful than men, for birds, they are more masculine than women, and for animals, there is no distinction between male and female.

Du Yuhuang said: There are men who are more beautiful than women, but this is not a definite conclusion.

Xu Songzhi said: This is a statement about the rise of tea villages, but it is not a conclusive conclusion.

If there are no books in the world, then you must read them; if there is no wine, you must drink them; if there is no nameless mountain, you must travel; if there are no flowers and moons, you must You should admire them; if you don’t have talented people and beautiful women, it’s fine; if you do, you should love and pity them.

Di Mushan said: Easier said than done! That is to say, my Huangshan Mountain, how can I get there?

Those who are beautiful and ugly, and are not enemies of the mirror, will also regard the mirror as an ignorant and dead thing. If you use a mirror to gain knowledge, it will be destroyed.

Zhang Zhupo said: If you have knowledge through the mirror, you must turn your beauty into beauty.

I bought a good book of flowers, but I still care for it and pity it, and look at it as a flower that explains the language!

Shi Tianwai said: This kind of mind makes me recite the Buddha's name several times.

Li Ruojin said: Flowers can interpret speech, but they fall into the hands of rough and vicious warriors, or are killed by lions and thieves. Even if you want to love and protect them, how can you get them?

Wang Sizhi said: This statement is a feeling of compassion, that is, a heart of right and wrong.

The inkstone of an idle person must be beautiful, but the inkstone of a busy person must not be bad; the concubine who entertains love must be beautiful, and the concubine of Guang Si must also be beautiful.

Jiang Hanzheng said: "A beautiful inkstone can be used to paint ink, but that's OK; a beautiful concubine can attract jealousy, so what can I do?"

Zhang Zhupo said: Jealousy lies in my concubine, not in my beauty.

I would like to build an unobstructed assembly, one to honor the talented men of the past generations, and the other to honor the beauties of the past generations. As soon as you meet a truly eminent monk, you should do it.

Gu Tianshi said: If you have such a grand gesture, please wait until twenty or thirty years later, then I can also accept your kindness.

Shi Zhongzhou said: I am a truly eminent monk. Please do it right away. How about that? Otherwise, when will these two kinds of sluggish souls be liberated?

Jiang Hanzheng said: Although the folding of the card is complete, but there is no regular schedule, the talents and beauties will also complain again.

He also said: I am afraid that I am not a talented person but pretend to be a talented person, and I am not a beautiful person but pretend to be a beauty. Even though I have a hundred and eighty thousand mother-dramas, I still cannot cook the fragrant Dharma food. Does Xin Zhai think so?

Shi Yuanfeng said: Monk Zhongzhou, you must not take away my donor.
