Talk about Ruanzi

Appreciation of Elegance in Shi Shuo Xin Yu: Chapter 15

"The founder Shao (Zuyue) lucky strike, Ruan (Ruanfu) lucky strike, from now on. The same tired, but not judged. Some people are interested in their ancestors. They regard property as their material. When the guests arrived, the screen was not finished, and the other two small ones were leaning behind their backs and leaning against obstacles, with uneven intentions. Maybe there was a pity, but when he saw that he was blowing his own horn, he sighed, "I don't know how much I have left in my life!" " "Look carefree. So the outcome is decided. "

This article was written by Zuyue and Ruanfu, each with his own hobbies. Zu Yue loves money and regards it as life. Ruan Fuhao is proud and carefree. This can be reflected in the romantic environment of Wei and Jin dynasties. Some noble literati pretend to be romantic, but they are really misers. The real scholar-officials such as Ruan Fu are "more famous than others", taking hobbies as entertainment, which truly reflects the romantic and grotesque of celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Zu Yuezu was originally a royal family in Youzhou, and later moved to be a general in Pingxi and a secretariat in Youzhou, where he served as a public official, with a large number of guests and a rich family. However, it did not show the slightest openness and romance of Wei and Jin celebrities, but regarded money as life; When a friend comes to visit, he hurriedly hides the treasure he is enjoying alone, and the property that is not completely hidden is blocked by himself. In just eight words, it profoundly depicts the ugly face of a gentry like Zuyue. Finally, when the founder followed the Soviet mutiny and lost to Schleswig, it was still disgusting and hard to change. He even invaded the land of his ancestors in the village under the jurisdiction of Schleswig, causing strong dissatisfaction among the squire. Coupled with his potential to usurp the Lord, Schleswig took this opportunity to kill Zuyue. It can be said that Zuyue is a typical social freak that existed in the aristocratic literati class in Wei and Jin Dynasties: greedy for money and profit. His special hobby of "property" is different from the optimistic and open-minded attitude of celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties. He regards money as a "wall", but it is just the greed for money shown by the elite in the social system at that time.

Ruan Fu was also a celebrity, and his father was Ruan Xian, one of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" who was famous all over the world at that time. He is seldom clever and tall. He inherited his father's refined personality, and he couldn't even let it go. He personally blew the fire and polished it, and his friends did not hide their special hobbies. They smiled and sighed, "I don't know how many times there are in life." Thus, the elegant and generous style of a celebrity is fully displayed, which fully conforms to the bohemian character of celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Just like the absurdity of Liu Ling's drunkenness, the true feelings of Ruan poor women crying. Ruan Fu's love is also a thorough exposure of the laissez-faire and absurd character shown by celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Being able to "brag" and avoid guests, and expressing his pursuit of "self" and "returning to nature" with a completely open mind, the frankness of an extraordinary celebrity is fully revealed. Is Ruan Ji's "Gift for Us"? It can best reflect the inner ideological realm of this kind of scholar-officials!

The fifteenth "Generosity" in Shi Shuo profoundly describes and depicts the different views of Zuyue and Ruanfu on things and life in just a few words. Zu Yue takes money as his life, Ruan Fu's laissez-faire and open-mindedness, and sees the big from the small, thus depicting the straightforward and grotesque literati character of the times concisely and clearly, which is manifested in the pursuit of money and the true elegance of the literati class, and also reveals the speech category of Shi Shuo from the side.

In addition, bricks (shoes) and China culture;

Tile is a great creation of working people in ancient China, and its emergence and development (boots, shoes, etc. ) are inseparable from people's productive labor. The emergence of literature is also based on human productive labor, so the tomb is closely related to the ancient culture of China, and it is repeatedly shown in ancient literary works. In Shi Shuo Xin Yu, in addition to the elegance in the fifteenth cycle, it is also recorded in the first "Wen" that Ma Rong was "jealous of the name of Xuan" and pursued disciple Zheng Xuan. "Xuan was also suspected of chasing, but he sat under the bridge and found it on the water and saved him." In addition, in the second chapter of Anger, the image of Wang Shu's embarrassing state of "grinding it with his fangs" when eating eggs can't help but make people smile.

Besides Shi Shuo, Dong is also described and expounded in other ancient books.

In the explanation of the name, this is the explanation of "Gong": "Gong, Ye. For two feet, you can practice mud. " And Yan Shigu's "Urgent Articles" notes: "Those who are embarrassed, use wood for it, apply two teeth, so practice mud." The article "The World in Zhuangzi" mentioned that Mozi's disciples "take Gang Gang as their clothes". This may be the earliest record of the tomb.

"Zhuangzi Art Garden" records that "mesons push trees to burn, and Jin Wengong cuts them to control them." Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" contains "travel far"; Xie qigong, invented by Xie Lingyun in the Southern Dynasties, "pull out the front teeth when going up the mountain, and pull out the back teeth when going down the mountain". Li Bai, a poet, once wrote the famous sentence "Xie, climb the green ladder". Another white poem in Yue Nv's Poems is "The bricks are frosty, but there are no crow's head socks". Su Dongpo once went out in the rain and "borrowed a hat to return". In Lu You's poems, there is a sentence of "lying down and listening to the sound of deep mud and shallow mud", but the paintings of Ma Yuan, a famous painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, have been handed down from generation to generation. Ye Shaoweng, a poet in the Song Dynasty, also mentioned in his poem "The Garden is Worthless": "You have to pity your dog's teeth and print moss, but you can't open Chai Fei for a long time; The spring garden can't be closed, and an apricot is out of the wall. " I wore clogs to visit my friends, but I didn't see them. The author sympathizes with the moss covered with fangs. There is also "climbing a cliff" in Liu Ji's Collection of Honest Liu Bo Wencheng Documents in Ming Dynasty. Xin Qiji's "Man Jiang Hong" wrote, "When you get to a good place, you have to bring a staff. How long will it take? "

There are also records about cloves in history books and family instructions, such as "Jin Xuanwu Ji": "There are many thorns in Guanzhong, and the emperor sent two thousand people from the army to walk with soft flat-bottomed clogs, and the thorns learned." "Yan Family Instructions" records that "when the Liang Dynasty was in its heyday, your children were ignorant, and ... they all smoked clothes and shaved their faces, and Fu Fenshi and Zhu drove long eaves and high teeth."

In A Dream of Red Mansions, one of the four classical novels, there is also a record of Jia Baoyu wearing Tang clogs. In the 45th chapter, "Gold talks to each other, and the wind and rain are boring" and in the 40th chapter, "Snow and red berries in the glass world, pink-scented babies cut fishy".

In addition, clogs (shoes) are symbols of love, power and respect in the ancient history of China. The love story of gifted scholars and beautiful women exchanging shoes has haunted China's classical novels for thousands of years. In ancient marriage engagement, after both men and women were satisfied, the man gave a bride price, and the woman took shoes, hats and so on as a return gift. There is a chapter in Jin Yong's novel "Eternal Dragon Slayer", in which Zhang Wuji took off Zhao Min's shoes, so they turned their enemies into friends, and all's well that ends well.

In ancient officialdom, various boots represented different official ranks. Ancient official boots, also known as thick-soled soap boots, are boots with black and white backgrounds. Civilians can't wear it. Only officials or their children can wear them. The story of Kou Zhun's boots on his back is familiar to people in folk literature. The boots on his back are official boots.

Taking off shoes or putting on shoes for others represents infinite respect for this person. Cai Yong's story of meeting RoyceWong, Cao Cao's story of meeting Xu You barefoot, and Sean's story of "kneeling for the elderly" are legendary stories.
