Zhuang Zize Yang Wei Ling Gong

Confucius said, "Your Wei Linggong used to be a bad king. He doesn't attend court meetings and international conferences. He drinks all day, listens to music, watches dances, or hunts rabbits and birds. It is strange that after his death, you will give him a posthumous title, not a faint man but a spirit man. What is his spirit? "

Mr. Da Tao, a historian, answered first. He read the book Shi Fa by the Duke of Zhou, knowing that the word "Ling" is a derogatory term here, saying that "Ling is buried."

Historian Mr. Bo Changqiao went on to answer. He thought the word "Ling" had both derogatory and commendatory meanings, and said, "It's outrageous to take a bath and have three wives in the basin to accompany him. However, loyal minister Shi Yu had something urgent to report, so he broke into the bathroom. Gong Ling hurriedly grabbed the bathtub to cover his nakedness, not daring. This is also a fact. He was so dissolute when his wife took a bath and so respectful in front of loyal subjects. This is why it is called Gong Ling. "

Historian [Gui] Mr. Wei finally answered. He thought that the word "mausoleum" was ordained by heaven, not by man, so he said, "When you are dead, you must ask the diviner first when you are ready for burial. Tortoise shell divination twice. The first omen indicates that the completed tomb is unlucky and another cemetery must be found. The second omen indicates that it is lucky to be buried in the sand dunes on the north bank of Jin Meng Ferry. Dunes demarcate the cemetery, dig deep into the grave and find a sarcophagus of unknown age. The sarcophagus was washed clean, and the wall of the sarcophagus was engraved with ancient Chinese characters that read' Future generations can't live like this, and Gong Ling moved here'. It can be seen that the spirit of Gong Ling has a long history and is not decided by our historians. Is the word "spirit" used here positive or negative? We don't know, only God knows. How can Da Tao and Bo Changqian understand! "
