The Epiphyllum comes from the Buddha's Kingdom. It is said that when it blooms, it is not only bright, but also fragrant, so it is also called "Fragrant Cereal". Whenever monks recite scriptures and mantras and beat wooden fish, they can dance with these sounds of burning chants.

Epiphyllum comes from the Buddha's Kingdom. It is said that when it blooms, it is not only bright, but also fragrant, so it is also called "Fragrant Tan". Whenever monks recite scriptures and mantras and beat wooden fish, they can dance with these sounds of burning chants. Unfortunately, although the eerie is spiritual, it is short-lived. It often blooms in the morning and fades at dusk. Therefore, with the foundation and concentration of the Buddha, I will burst into tears when I see it.

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a Hanlin bachelor named Dai went to Shaanxi to serve as a supervisor and presided over the examination of children's students in a certain county. That day, Inspector Dai held the roster and sang the title one by one. When he was singing the "Chapter", a six or seven-year-old child had just tied a bun on his head, and a red silk wrapped around it, but his lips were red and his teeth were white. He held a pen bag in his left hand and went forward with the scroll with his right hand. When Superintendent Dai saw that his name was indeed "seven years old" and blamed him for being too young, he scolded and said, "Go! This is the examination room for the imperial court to open a vocational examination. It is not a place for children to dance and play. What are you here to do?" Chapter, but he bowed calmly and replied, "Although the boy is young and ignorant, he is determined to visit this literary battle site." Superintendent Dai saw that he was not very angry, so he frightened, "Can you write an article? If you become a silly monument, I will teach you a lesson with a whip!" But Chapter was not afraid and replied, "Although the boy dared not say that he would definitely be among the top, he would not fall to the point of being beaten." Superintendent Dai thought that the child was talking nonsense, so he asked the Confucian instructor sitting next to him. The Confucian instructor replied, "This child is extremely smart and is known as a child prodigy; his father's name is Zhang Jiuru. He has been taking the scholar for many years but failed. He is still a child. Inspector Dai suspected that Zhang Jiuru brought his son in because he wanted to catch the knife for his son after he got the exam and let his son become a scholar. In order to eliminate the possibility of cheating, Dai Superintendent called a follower to take the chapter to several Mukes' office and resting places, allowing the Mukes to take care of him and take care of him, and then continued to sing the title. After being received by the singer, they entered the examination room one by one. After a while, he really sang "Zhang Jiuru", but he saw that he was over forty years old, with slow movements and a dull expression, and looked like a pedantic village school scholar. The inspector asked: "Is Chapter your son?" Zhang Jiuru nodded and responded, "That's right." The inspector said seriously: "What should he do if such a young child is to take him to take the exam? It is a court ceremony to open a court. How can he be regarded as a joke? If you do any tricks to hide the world and exchange the sky for the day, once you reveal your true face, the law will not forgive you!" Jiuru was so scared that he said yes and bowed back.

The official examination began. The gate of the examination institute was closed, and the Inspector Dai sat high above the lobby, and half a day passed without realizing it. In the afternoon, he accidentally walked to the guest's place and suddenly heard the laughter and noise of children inside, and there were also arguments with adults. The dear student Dai was surprised and pushed the door open, but saw Chapter throwing his hat in the corner of the wall and squeezing his pound on the couch. The supervisor scolded him a little, and the chapter had already rolled out of bed, put on his hat, tidy up his clothes, and stood aside in a regular manner. Seeing his childish face, he looked very funny and laughed, "I knew you couldn't write articles, how about it? I didn't say it in half a day in the morning, and it was half over the afternoon. You didn't think about how to write an article, but you only knew how to play naughtyly. Is this your three village school?" Chapter stared at the eyes and asked, "There is no question, how do you ask me to write articles?" The inspector suddenly remembered: he only asked the guests to take care of him in the morning, and looked at him, but he didn't. Some people asked him to give the questions to test, and he found it funny, so he asked the murmurs, "How is this kid?" The murmurs said, "It's extremely smart, but it's too naughty, it's hard to control him. However, I read a lot of books. When we asked some questions, he answered them very well, and there were few that were difficult to control him." The supervisor nodded slightly, and asked the murmurs to give him the questions, and brought him a few small steaks to sit down and make them. There were also fruits and pastries on the table for them to eat. The chapter frowned slightly, and then held the pen and wrote, but when he saw him flowing into the water, it seemed as if he had already written a draft. After a long time, a scattered article was written.After the chapter was copied, he knelt down and submitted it to the inspector respectfully, saying, "The boy was ashamed of not having a pen like a rafter. Because it was almost dusk, he was scribbling. It was just better than handing in a blank paper. I hope you can understand it." The inspector was surprised after hearing his gentle and humble words. When he read the article again, he couldn't help but admire it. After seeing this, the guests praised it. The supervisor wanted to test his ability to adapt, so he said to him, "I'll make a pair to see if you can match it." He looked up and saw the " Lanting Collection Preface " posted on the wall, and he casually selected a sentence from it, saying, "There are mountains and steep mountains here, and lush forests and bamboos." After a brief thought, he replied, "I'm afraid you won't carve the insects and seal carving, and the broken pieces will be edited." This is a sentence in " West Chamber ", and all the guests in the curtain shouted in unison. Inspector Dai deliberately pretended to be angry and said, "What kind of love do young children know about men and women, but they actually read "The West Chamber"? Well, I will give another couplet: 'The boy reads the West Chamber.'" The chapter was too late to think about it, and blurted out: "Sir, the East Chamber." "The East Chamber" is the name of the stars in the sky, which corresponds to neatly. He also said that he was the stars in the sky and descended to the earth. The supervisor was not happy, and his face suddenly became soft. Then, he pointed to a big tree in the courtyard and said, "The old tree has been a thousand years." The chapter responded and said, "The fragrance has appeared." The supervisor was stunned, afraid that this was an ominous sign. At this time, the officials and servants had already come to their hands on their hands, and the candidates outside had handed in their papers. Chapter also wanted to go out, but the supervisor had forgotten his worries just now. Thinking that such a smart child is indeed rare, he caressed and said, "Good child, he is really talented. I will be the master of giving you a blue shirt to wear, it will be a bonus." The meaning of this sentence is very clear, that is, he has already won the scholar. But when the chapter heard this, he was not only displeased, but his back looked miserable. He knelt on the ground, tears fell like rain, and kowtowed straight, "bang bang bang", trying his best to refuse. The inspector was surprised and asked, "You have a noble aspiration and are not greedy for fame and fortune, so what are you going to this examination room?" Zhang Jie cried and said, "The boy has difficulties in his heart, but he dare not say it. He will definitely be guilty if he says it."

Supervisor quickly comforted him and said, "It's okay to say it, I won't blame you." Zhang Jie said, "My father has been trapped in the examination room for many years. The boy came this time, and originally wanted to serve him quietly. My father caught my sword. Unexpectedly, the adults asked me to be with the guests, and I didn’t expect that I would be promoted by the adults and passed the exam first. Although my father had no hope this year, what else would he hope for the next subject? I beg you to get rid of my name and accept my father. Then the boy will never forget the kindness of the adults.” After hearing this, the supervisor asked someone to call Zhang Jiuru’s test paper and opened it: not only did his handwriting look like a spring worm and autumn snake, but his literary and scientific knowledge are also incomprehensible, and there are many typos, which is a world of difference from the chapter test paper. The inspector spread the test paper in front of him, frowned and said, "What do you think you should do if your father is like this?" The chapter just kowtowed repeatedly, without saying a word. The inspector admired his ambition to give in, and pity his filial piety. He also liked his extraordinary intelligence. After thinking about it over and over again, he finally nodded and said, "I have always been pure and selfless. Today I will make an exception and make some personal feelings for you. But since you have such talent, you will definitely be able to go to high school after the course of your studies and have a bright future." The chapter suddenly burst into tears and laughed, cheered, and kowtowed to the inspector several times, then jumped away.

The exam was announced the next day. The first place on the list is Zhang Jiexing, who is also a very talented young man; Zhang Jiuru barely put it in the last place. When Superintendent Dai was about to leave by car, the new scholars came to see him off, and Zhang Jiuru also brought the chapters to worship under the car. The inspector said to Zhang Jiuru, "Your title of scholar was completely given to you by your son. A phoenix can fly out of the crow nest. Who said intelligence is out of heredity?" Seeing Zhang Jiuru's face was ashamed, the inspector asked the chapter again: "The first chapter is good, are you close to you?" The chapter replied, "Yes, it's my cousin." The inspector said, "You must leave after sending you thousands of miles, so you can go back too. Oh, I'll give you another couplet for you: 'Chapter, good chapter.'" The chapter responded and said, " Lu Meng , Lu Mengzheng ."Lu Meng was a general of the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. Lu Meng was an official of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was very wonderful to the present. The supervisor praised the Confucian instructors and others who sent each other, saying, "How can you not regard this child as a priceless treasure! "Then he took off a piece of jade in front of his collar and gave it to the chapter, and encouraged him, "You work hard and make progress. Next year, I will return your scholarship to you, so let this piece of jade be used as a certificate. "The chapter was so grateful that he burst into tears. The inspector's car had already gone far away and he was still crying.

Half a year later, the inspector Dai suddenly dreamed that the chapter was holding a flash of cereus in his hand and arrived slowly. He thanked him repeatedly for helping his father and giving him jade. When he was about to part, he chanted another sing:

"The green lotus is planted in Qiong Yao Island. After joining the World War, the fragrant tan is still good. "

Inspector Dai was shocked and felt very melancholy. The next year, when he was in charge of the exam, he was eager to find the chapter, but there was no trace of him. Inspector Dai hurriedly asked the Confucian instructor, but the Confucian instructor just shook his head and sighed, and called Zhang Jiuru over and asked him to tell him. Zhang Jiuru burst into tears and sobbed and said, "Jie'er Cheng'er's clear teachings are all at home and studying hard every day, but unfortunately he suffered from smallpox and died of premature treatment. When I was dying, I was still holding the jade given by the Lord and muttering to "Mr. Dai", so I asked him to use the jade to bury him. "Inspector Dai was shocked and sad. Zhang Jiuru said again: "When Jie'er was born, his mother dreamed that an old monk gave her a short-lived cereus. No wonder he didn't live long. "Using Dai was disappointed and suddenly remembered the "scent of the celestial celestial" chapter in the couplet last year, but unexpectedly it became a prophecy; when he thought of his strange dream, could this prodigy be the reincarnation of the fairy in the Epiphyllum? Because of his sadness, Using Dai wrote an article "Epiphyllum" in his apartment overnight to commemorate it.
