What is the year of Qianlong Wuyin, and what is the year of QingQianlong Wuyin?

Ji Xiaolan, a great scholar in Qing Dynasty, wrote many fantastic stories, one of which was particularly wonderful. Ji Xiaolan's claim that he witnessed all this with his own eyes is not empty talk.

He said that on May 28th, the year of Wuyin (the 23rd year of Qing Qianlong), he went to Taipingguan to celebrate the birthday of his good friend Mr. Wu. There were many guests and friends from the north and the south at the dinner party, which was very lively.

After three rounds of drinking, an old man with a white beard in his sixties came.

Get up, listen to the accent is from the south, but I don't know where it is from. The old man spoke politely and said that he would perform a little magic trick for the guests present.

All the guests cheered to see what kind of tricks he was going to perform. The old man was in no hurry and ordered a big chimney, enough to hold four or two pieces of tobacco. After the old man said "make a fool of yourself", he lit the tobacco and smoked it. He smoked while smoking, and it took him a long time to finish smoking. Guests and friends are not surprised. Some people think that the old man is just joking and can't perform any tricks at all.

After smoking, the old man asked for a big bowl of tea, drank the tea in one gulp and said to Mr. Wu, "Do you want to prolong your life?" While speaking, he opened his mouth and spit it out. After a while, he saw two white cranes "flying" from him, coming and going, flying on the roof, flying to the corner like a shuttle, which was a cloud of smoke.

The guests were dumbfounded, and suddenly there was silence between the banquets. Then, the old man's throat creaked, and then he spit out a cigarette line from his mouth. The smoke line goes up vertically, and when it reaches the roof, it spreads out into the shape of water waves and clouds, slowly drifting around, and suddenly becomes a small white crane about an inch long, hovering up and down, left and right, and it takes a long time to turn into smoke.

After the old man's trick performance, he bowed to the outside with his fist, and all the guests and friends came in succession.

Mr. Wu was very happy when he cheered. He drank three cups for the old man's superb skills. However, all the guests and friends were still not happy and asked the old man to perform for you again. The old man smiled without a word, followed him to propose a toast to the master, and said, "My master is tired, let me entertain you by acting.". If I can't do it, I'll show you a few tricks. "

After all the guests were seated, they began to perform magic tricks. He picked up the used pipe, filled it with tobacco and swallowed it. After a while, he saw a white cloud flying high and slowly forming a small pavilion with carved columns and painted windows, which seemed to be painted.

No one is not surprised by this. The pavilion floated in the air until it reached the front of the party and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. For Mr. Wu, this is "a supplement to the sea house" and a great success. Mr. Wu was deeply gratified and ordered a reward. It can be seen that the apprentice's skill is not inferior, and it is high for both the master and the apprentice. Their technology can't even be compared with the exquisite pagoda that appears under the tiny light on their fingers.

Ji Xiaolan said: "I have seen from the biographies written by the ancients that a master threw his glass at flying cranes, birds and flowers and bright moons. I didn't think it was true, but I didn't know there were really masters in the world until I saw the' smoke screen play' performed by the master and the apprentice. Later generations don't agree with the strange skills written by predecessors, but they are few and strange. I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. There are guests and friends calling. If it is true, it is quite clever. "
