In the past, I taught my children to recite the second chapter in " wolf three " in the Stories from Pu Songling . Among the wolf three stories, the second chapter is more famous and has been selected into the junior high school Chinese textbook. In fact, these three are written very well. I asked my children to recite all three. Let's look at the first chapter now.
A slaughtered meat is back, and the day is over. When a wolf came, he looked at the meat on the load, which seemed to be very coveted; when he slaughtered, he showed it with a blade, and let it go; when he left, he followed it. It is better to hang the trees and take them with the fleas if you want the meat. Then he hooked his flesh and hung his feet among the trees, showing him an empty load. The wolf stops. Slaughtered back. Meishuang went to pick up the flesh, looking at the huge thing hanging on the tree, like a person hanged to death. Shocked. If you go near it, you will die. Looking up, I saw that the mouth was filled with meat, and the hook was pierced with wolf palate, like a fish swallowing bait. At that time, the wolf's leather was expensive and worth more than ten gold, so he slaughtered Xiaoyu. It is ridiculous to seek fish from a tree, but if a wolf is caught, it is also ridiculous.
Different versions of the Stories from Chinese Studio, this "Wolf" has slightly different texts, similar. But I think it is very strange, because Pu Songling was from the early Qing Dynasty and is not very long since now. There are various versions of ", Liaozhai, " during the circulation process. Each version has a large text difference. The order of the articles is different at present and after, and some articles have different names, such as "Jiang Fei", and some versions are called "Flower God". The most incredible thing is that some versions have different numbers. As a book written by the Qing Dynasty, the difference between this version is even greater than that between the different versions of the Records of the Han Dynasty , which is indeed a bit incredible.
The text of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is vivid and interesting, cherishing the ink like gold, and the brushwork is concise and intriguing. "Three Rules of the Wolf" fully reflects these characteristics of Pu Songling. Let's analyze them sentence by sentence.
slaughtered meat returns, the day is dusk,
slaughter refers to butcher, goods, refers to selling, selling things, noun is used as the verb , a butcher returns from selling meat, it is already too late. For some reason, when I saw that the sun was getting late, I remembered the "Sunny" mentioned by Mr. Lu Xun in " Mr. Fujino ",
and the Tang Dynasty poem "Where is the village at dusk? The smoke and waves on the river make people sad."
There are many chapters in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" with butchers as the protagonists. Some chapters may not be the first protagonist, but they also mention butchers. Butchers should be a very old profession. Perhaps humans made a living by hunting from the beginning, so butchers may have a longer time than growing crops. In the Warring States Period, there were very famous butchers in , such as Zhu Hai , who helped Xinlingjun steal talismans and save Zhao, Li Bai's " Heroes Walking ", " will eat Zhu Hai, hold a cup to persuade Hou Ying . " tells the story of Hou Ying and Zhu Hai.
The famous butchers in history also have Fan Kuai . Fan Kuai killed dogs, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty there was Zhang Fei , and Zhang Fei killed pigs. Among the literary works, in " Water Margin ", there is Zhen Guanxi Zheng Tu, and
"Scholars" there is Fan Jin's father-in-law Hu Tuhu .
snatch a wolf, snatch, pronounced as XU, suddenly meaning. A wolf suddenly appeared. The plot is abrupt and the pen is very sudden. There is no need to lay the groundwork or turn, giving people a very dangerous feeling. Just like in a very calm scene, a monster suddenly appears.
Look on the meat on the shoulder, it seems to be very coveted, Look on it, pronounced as KAN, meaning peeping. The wolf peeked at the meat in the butcher's burden and seemed to be drooling. It seemed that the wolf was traveling all over the world to eat meat.
slaughtered, showed it to him with a blade, let it go, and followed it. There is nothing difficult to understand about . The butcher was very scared and used the butcher to scare the wolf with the butcher knife. The wolf retreated a little, and the butcher continued to rush on, and the wolf followed again.
In "Three Wolfs" written by Pu Songling, three butchers encountered wolves, used three different methods to deal with wolves. In this one, the butcher initially wanted to scare wolves with a knife, but wolves are very cunning and will not be scared away so easily. The wolf's ambition is terrible.
Slaughter and mourn the flesh of the wolf, it is better to hang the trees and take them with fleas. Butcher believes that what the wolf wants is the meat in the load, so it is better to hang the meat on the tree first and come and pick it up the next morning. The word "再" here means morning, and it is the word "再". The article "Wolf" we learned before was that the butcher threw the remaining bones in the load to the wolf, trying to escape while the wolf was gnawing the bones. The butcher did not expect to throw the meat to the wolf, but wanted to hang the meat on the tree. After reading this, I have two questions. First, isn't he afraid of the wolf coming to eat him? 2. Aren’t he worried that someone would take his flesh away?
Then he hooked his feet and hung them among the trees, showing him a empty load, and the wolf stopped. The butcher hooked the meat with a hook, hung it on the tree with his feet up, and showed the empty load to the wolf, and the wolf stopped following him.
slaughtered. Meishuang went to pick up the flesh, looking at the huge thing hanging on the tree, like a person hanged, and was shocked. If you go near it, you will die. butcher went home. The next morning, he went to pick up the meat. He saw a very long thing hanging on the tree from afar. He was shocked and hesitantly approached the tree and saw that it was a dead wolf.
Pu Songling really cherishes the ink and uses the words very concisely, and omits all the omitted places. The article gives people the feeling that he is a person who has been working out all year round, without any excess fat on his body, and all he sees are muscles and muscles. From the above two sentences, we can feel the conciseness of this writing. This conciseness makes the article extremely literary, which is due to the accuracy of Pu Songling's use of words.
looked up and saw that the wolf had meat in its mouth, and the hook stabbed the wolf's palate, like a fish swallowing bait. It turned out that the wolf jumped up to bite the meat hanging on the tree, and was hooked by a hook, just like a fish greedy for bait being hung up by a hook.
So we cannot be blinded by the little interests in front of us, and forget the dangers and traps behind the interests.
at that time, the price of wolf leather was high, worth more than ten gold, so I slaughtered Xiaoyuyan. At that time, the wolf skin was relatively valuable, and it was worth more than a dozen taels of silver, and the butcher made a small fortune.
It was originally a matter of the primitive human period, but to this day, fur has become a very precious material. Brezhnev loved fur coats very much back then. On the way to Japan and the Soviet Union in 1974, Air Force One landed in Anchorage, Alaska, and was given by a local fur merchant (also Ford's personal friend). When Ford set off and returned, President Bo saw him off. Ford found that his eyes were always staring at the coat, and seemed to like it very much, so he took it off and gave it to him.
In ancient times, the "gold" mentioned in the book did not necessarily mean gold, it depends on the specific situation. In most cases, the word "gold" alone refers to silver, and in earlier pre-Qin works, it may also refer to copper. Specifically, gold refers to gold in our current sense, platinum refers to silver, red gold refers to copper, black gold refers to iron, and lapis gold refers to lead.
If you seek fish from a tree, you will get it, which is ridiculous. is like climbing a tree to catch fish. A wolf originally wanted to eat meat, but it ended up in trouble. It's really ridiculous!
Seek fish by the tree, climb up the tree to find the fish. It is a metaphor for the wrong direction and method of doing things, and the effort will be gone. From "Mencius: King Hui of Liang": "If you do what you want and seek what you want, it is like seeking fish from a tree." During the Warring States Period, King Hui of Liang attempted to expand his territory and dominate the princes through war. Mencius disagreed with his thoughts and asked him what his attempt to expand was. King Hui of Liang said that he wanted to satisfy his greatest desire.Mencius said that hatred was formed through war, and the princes could not obey you. Doing so would be like climbing on a tree to find fish.
Pu Songling's "Wolf" is written very vividly and interestingly, especially the words are concise and accurate, and the scenes are vivid in my mind. The most worthy of our deep thoughts on the truth that it contains, you must not seek fish when doing things. I hope that the world can learn from it.
