What conversations in history can be called divine replies?

When talking about God’s reply, I always think of the pre-Qin strategist Zhang Yi first.

Back then, Zhang Yi studied under Guiguzi. After completing his studies, he lobbied the King of Chu, hoping to gain the attention of the princes. As a result, Zhang Yi was innocently beaten hundreds of times in Chu State.

When he got home, his wife said to him: "If you hadn't read so many books to lobby the king, you wouldn't have been beaten like this." ?

Zhang Yi did not reply directly, but opened his mouth and asked: "Is my tongue still there?" ?

The wife said: ?Still. ?

Zhang Yi said: ?The tongue is enough. ?

This is the origin of "Three-inch Tongue". Later, Zhang Yi really used his eloquent skills to travel around the various vassal states.

Zhang Yi was able to realize his ambitions by virtue of his sharp tongue, while others were appreciated by the emperor for their eloquence and became powerful.

In the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhong Yao’s two sons, Zhong Yu and Zhong Hui, were smart and well-known in their hometown for their outstanding wisdom.

When Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi heard about the reputation of these two children, he said to Zhong Yao: "You can ask these two children to come to see me." ?

Zhong Yao brought his two sons to see Cao Pi.

After entering the palace, Zhong Yu’s face was sweating.

Emperor Wen of Wei asked: Why is there sweat on your face? ?

Zhong Yu replied: "Your Majesty is so majestic. I am wary and sweaty like rain." ?

There was no sweat on Zhong Hui’s face. Cao Pi asked: ?Why don’t you sweat? ?

Zhong Hui replied: ?Your Majesty is so majestic that my ministers are trembling and do not dare to sweat. ?

One is sweating and the other is not, and the reasons are very sufficient and impeccable. When brothers Zhong Yu and Zhong Hui grew up, they both received important positions in Wei.

Speaking of "sweating without daring to break out" and "sweating like rain", I think of Deng Xi, a representative of the famous scholars (philosophical schools of pre-Qin and Confucianism and Taoism).

"Lu Shi Chun Qiu" records the following incident of Deng Xi.

One year there was a flood in the Jianshui River. A wealthy family member in the state of Zheng drowned and his body was salvaged ashore. Wealthy people went to redeem the body, but the price charged by the body collector was too high. So wealthy people went to Deng Xi for advice.

Deng Xi said: Don’t worry, he can’t give the body to anyone else except selling it to you. ?

In the end, the person who retrieved the corpse couldn't wait any longer and went to Deng Xi for advice.

Deng Xi said: Don’t worry, if he doesn’t buy the body from you, how can he buy it elsewhere?

I don’t know the outcome of the story, but Deng Xi has been offended by being clever all day long. He killed many people and was finally executed by the ruling officials of the state of Zheng.

Speaking of famous figures, why not mention Keiko? Keiko is also a representative of famous figures.

One day Huizi and Zhuangzi were playing on the bridge. Zhuangzi looked at the fish in the water and said, "This fish is so happy swimming around." ?

Keiko said arrogantly: ?How can you know the happiness of fish if you are not a fish? ?

As a famous barber in the pre-Qin Dynasty, how could Zhuangzi admit defeat: "You are not me, how do you know that I don't know the happiness of fish?" ?

Keiko continued: ?Because I am not you, I don’t know whether you know the happiness of fish. Therefore, you are not a fish, so you don’t know whether the fish is happy or not. Is there anything else you want to say? ?

Is this the daily life of two gangsters meeting each other?

When it comes to Gang Jing, we have to mention Mao Qiling, a great scholar of the early Qing Dynasty. Others always look for someone who can speak up. If two people have no communication, how can they start a fight? But Mr. Mao is different. From the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the contemporary great Confucians, no one can escape from his fight.

Su Shi has a poem: "Three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo are the duck's prophet when the water in the spring river is warm". Mr. Mao Qiling thought that what Su Shi said was wrong: There were three or two peach blossoms. Did Su Shi count them? Are you sure it's not one branch or four branches? Why is Chunjiang Plumbing a duck prophet? Couldn't the goose know first?

Su Shi must have never imagined that he would still be criticized after being dead for hundreds of years.

Classmate Yuan Mei can’t stand looking at such a weirdo as Mao Qiling. Yuan Mei once said that if Mao Qiling's ideas were followed, the Book of Songs would be nonsense.

?Guan Guan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou?, why? Is it Jujiu? Not another bird? Why is it at Hezhou? Can't it be by the river? If you say this, people should stop talking, stop writing poems and articles, it's good to be mute, you can't go wrong.

Now that Su Shi has been mentioned, I have to mention one of Su Shi’s famous sayings.

Su Shi’s old friend Zhang Xian married an 18-year-old concubine when he was eighty years old. He was very proud of it, so he wrote a poem:

I am eighty years old. You are eighteen, you are a beauty and I have gray hair. He and Qing are reversed and originally belong to the same Geng. There is only a sixty-year-old in between.

Su Shi knew about it and wrote a poem to echo it:

Eighteen-year-old bride with eighty-year-old husband, pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks sleep in pairs at night, and a pear tree presses the begonia.

One of them: "A pear tree weighs down begonias" can be said to be a famous saying through the ages. Nowadays, people still say it from time to time when they see the beautiful scenery, which seems very cultural. But what this sentence means is that the white pear blossoms suppress the red begonias. You can figure it out for yourself.

Su Shi was a natural joker and a famous poisonous snake man, but he also had his moments of weakness.

Su Shi liked to fight and tease each other with Zen Master Foyin. One day Su Shi came to visit Foyin and asked: "What do you think I am?" ?

Foyin said: ?I think you are a Buddha. ?

Su Shi was very proud after hearing this.

Foyin asked Su Shi again: "What do you think I am?" ?

Su Shi wanted to embarrass Foyin, so he said: ?I think you are a piece of shit. ?

Foyin remained silent after hearing this.

This time it seemed that Su Shi had taken advantage, but when others reminded him, Su Shi suddenly realized: It turns out that he is the shit. Foyin has Buddha in his heart and sees all things as Buddha; Su Shi sees others as shit, which means that Su Shi has shit in his heart.

Foyin's silent reply can be said to be the most wonderful thing about it. Not only does it not contain curse words, but it also makes you very proud.

I have said so much above, and it seems that they are all arrogant jokes. It can be said that it is a reply from God, or it can be said that it is not. Then I will talk about a real God's reply dialogue, a real person with lotus flowers in his mouth and a wise heart and wonderful tongue.

Mr. Lu Kanru, a famous Chinese scholar and leading figure in ancient literature research, studied in France in the 1930s.

At the doctoral thesis defense meeting, the examiner suddenly asked Lu Kanru a question: Why doesn't the Chinese Yuefu poem "Peacock Flying Southeast" say "Peacock Flying Northwest"? ?

This question is very tricky. If you only look for the answer from this poem, it will appear bland and clumsy, not very persuasive, and will be looked down upon by the examiner: You are a famous scholar in classical literature, but your level is no more than this. .

Of course Mr. Lu understood the trick, so he replied: "Because" there is a tall building in the northwest, and it is as high as the floating clouds. ?

The examiner was stunned for a moment, and then praised the answer: There was a towering building blocking the road in the northwest, and he couldn't fly over it, so he had to fly to the southeast.

This sentence comes from "Nineteen Ancient Poems". This answer not only shows Mr. Lu's quick thinking, but also reflects Mr. Lu's profound attainments in classical literature, which cannot but be admired.

Actually, I think we can also answer: "Look northwest, shoot at Sirius", or "Look northwest, look at Chang'an, pitiful countless mountains".
