Folk story 1: Did the Bodhisattva give it? Fish temple?

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, social unrest and natural disasters continued, and people built temples to worship immortals. Even the emperor was interested in building temples.

It is said that there is a child named He Sheng in Taiping Village, Ganzhou Prefecture, who has been clever and sensible since childhood. One day when he was six years old, Xiao Hesheng, who was playing outside, was called home and said that his mother had hanged herself. He Sheng came home and saw his mother lying flat on the ground and his neighbors wiping their tears. To say that the child's life is really bitter, his father left their orphans and widows a year ago and died of illness. Now his mother has died for no reason. Just when everyone was worried about a small life, Mr. Li, who originally hired his father as a long-term worker, took the initiative to adopt him. This member Li has only one daughter, as old as He Sheng. Seeing that He Sheng was talented, he paid Xiao Hesheng to go to a private school under the persuasion of his wife, and planned to recruit him as a son-in-law in the future and support himself in the future.

In a blink of an eye, He Sheng is eighteen. This spring, He Sheng bid farewell to his family and went to Beijing to take the exam. On this day, he was resting on a desert grass when he suddenly heard a cry of animals. Looking for sound, he saw a rabbit trapped in a hunting trap. He Sheng knows that the poor can't eat meat all the year round, and they can only improve their lives by catching some wild animals. However, when he looked at the struggling hare, He Sheng relented and let it go. Say that finish, He Sheng took out a big steamed salted fish from the dry food bag and put it on the clip, then he went on his way.

The exam will be over soon. On this day, gongs and drums suddenly roared in front of the lobby of the inn where He Sheng lived. It turned out that He Sheng won the first prize, and the court sent someone to pick him up to meet the current emperor.

When he came to the court, the emperor fell in love with him as soon as he saw his handsome appearance. The emperor had a beloved princess who wanted to betroth her to He Sheng, so he waved his hand and sealed He Sheng as Xu. How many princes and nobles dream of such a good thing, but He Sheng knelt on the ground and said, thanks to the emperor's grace, I have nothing to repay in my life, but my name is Ma Xu and Mary. ?

When He Sheng made this remark, not only the emperor was shocked, but also the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty looked at each other. The emperor's face turned white for a while. What should he do if he is so disobedient? The emperor's high hand was gently put down again. He glanced at He Sheng kneeling on the ground and asked, Maybe you have a wife, but I don't mind. Divorce her. ?

He sheng knocked three songs in a row:? The emperor doesn't know that although I don't have a wife, I have already made an engagement with Mr. Li's daughter. ?

? What, Mr. Li? Maybe I can't compare with a member! ? The emperor pulled down his face.

He Sheng told the story that he had no parents since he was a child, and Mr. Li brought him up. Finally, he said: Miss Li has raised me for more than ten years, and I grew up with her. Although I have achieved fame now, I can't forget my roots. The champion lang can be improper, but the ungrateful lang can never be! ?

The emperor was stupefied. Why did he make such remarks? He was reasonable. But how can the king of a country tolerate the opposition of a little scholar? What does he mean? Where is the emperor's face? We have to find a way to kill two birds with one stone, which can save face and keep this talent. Thinking of this, the emperor rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

The emperor said:? He Sheng, I want to test your real talent and learning. I will submit it online. If you are right, I will agree to your request. If you are wrong, don't blame me. ? Hearing this, He Sheng had to obey orders.

? My first half is:? Dong Qiming, Xi Chang Gung, Nanji Beidou, I am the Star Master. When the emperor finished, he proudly brushed his beard.

Why did the ministers of the Qing Dynasty sweat profusely? He Sheng blinked a few times and said, Lang Lang? Your majesty, I am embarrassed. What is my second part? Spring peony, summer peony, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum flower, I am Tan Hualang.

He Sheng's second couplet was well done, and the emperor Wanli couldn't help clapping his hands and cheering, and all the officials in the Qing Dynasty cheered in unison, but what about the emperor's? Okay？ When the words came out, He Sheng knocked three times: Thank you, Ron? Emperor Wanli was surprised at first, and then he understood. Emperor? Golden mouth and jade words? Why is it for yourself? Fight? He won the third place. Although he was not the No.1 scholar, he was content to marry Miss Li. And the emperor, seeing how clever he was, let him work in imperial academy.

In a blink of an eye, three years passed. On this day, when he went to court, He Sheng told the emperor that he would go back to his hometown to get married. The emperor immediately agreed, saying, You have been in the Imperial Academy for three years, and you have done a lot of good things for me. Recently, I heard that there is a magical fish temple at the junction of Liangzhou and Ganzhou, saying that Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared. I want you to be an inspector, observe people's feelings for me, and report back to Beijing on schedule. Take a look at the place for me when you pass by after you get married, and come back and leave early. I also want to know the details. ? He Sheng kowtowed at once.

On this day, He Sheng and his party came to Liangzhou, more than 200 miles away from their hometown of Ganzhou. Just entering Liangzhou, He Sheng suddenly heard a child crying sadly from the roadside. He went to a broken farmhouse, and there was a white-faced woman lying on the broken straw mat, next to a five-or six-year-old child who cried her eyes out. This situation reminds He Sheng of the tragic death of his mother when he was a child. He asked a farmer what was going on. The farmer told him that the farmer's husband died of illness more than a year ago, leaving orphans and widows. In order to protect their mother and son, farmers borrowed money from local rich people and worshipped the fish god in the fish temple, and the interest could not be repaid. Finally, she was seduced by the rich man. She felt ashamed and found herself nearsighted in a rage.

? Fish temple He Sheng one leng. The other party told him that there is a magical fish temple given by Guanyin Bodhisattva at the junction of Liangzhou and Ganzhou, which is hundreds of miles away. In order to pray for peace, many poor people burn incense and worship the fish god every day. He Sheng was surprised that he had lived in Ganzhou for so many years and had never heard of this temple. How come even the emperor knows it in just a few years? Immediately, He Sheng ordered his men to arrange the peasant woman's affairs and set off for the Fish Temple.

He Sheng did not disturb the government of Ganzhou, but came to the Fish Temple with his entourage in casual clothes. He saw that the temple was richly decorated and people came and went in front of it. When he stepped into the temple gate, two big men who looked like your official jumped out and stopped him to collect the entrance fee. He Sheng didn't want to reveal his identity, so he immediately took out his money. There is a small door behind the temple. When he got to the door, two big men stopped him and said that the tribute to the fish god was specially supplied by the temple, with five taels of silver each time. No way, He Sheng took out the money again. Finally, I came to the fish statue, which was two feet long and glittering and lifelike.

The next day, He Sheng arrived in Ganzhou. When the magistrate saw that He Sheng was an inspector sent by the emperor, he dared not neglect him and immediately hosted a banquet. During the dinner, He Sheng told the magistrate that he immediately informed the people of Fiona Fang thyme to meet at the Fish Temple the day after tomorrow. He had something important to say, so the county magistrate dared not ask the wise man and immediately informed the local officials.

Two days later, there was a sea of people in front of the Fish Temple. The people heard that the emperor sent an inspector to observe the people's feelings. He Sheng and Ganzhou magistrate stand on a high platform. He asked the magistrate of Ganzhou, has anyone seen this fish god? The governor of Ganzhou immediately called a middle-aged man in his forties. The man said, Sir, I set a hunting trap here more than three years ago. When I came, I found a big salted fish in the trap. Fiona Fang Fiona Fang has no family for dozens of miles. How did this big salted fish get trapped? Guanyin Bodhisattva must have appeared to save us poor people. So I quickly reported it to the government? Middle-aged people just said here, Ganzhou magistrate took over: at that time, I thought it was an epiphany. In order to pray for peace on this side, I built this temple to benefit the people! ? He Sheng asked the middle-aged man again: Is that big salted fish missing an eye? The middle-aged man nodded and asked: How did the master know? He Sheng asked again. Is this big salted fish still there?

The middle-aged man said: Now, it is carefully preserved in the temple. I'll send someone to get it ? After a while, the big salted fish was served, and it really happened. At this time, He Sheng held the big salted fish high above his head and said, folks, you must ask me why I know this big salted fish, because it was put on the clip when I was rushing to take the exam. He Sheng told the story at once, and the scene was in an uproar. He Sheng waved to the villagers. Fellow villagers, there are no immortals in this world, but some people are far-fetched ? He told the story of the tragic death of the child's mother who met in Liangzhou boundary because of worshipping the fish temple, and asked his men to tear down the so-called fish temple immediately and lift the investigation of Ganzhou magistrate.

After returning from the Fish Temple, He Sheng immediately rushed to Taiping Village in Ganzhou. Mr. Li's family was overjoyed and immediately let He Sheng and Miss Li marry each other. On the night of the bridal chamber, He Sheng told the story that he was almost recruited as Xu in Beijing. The young lady heard tears in her eyes and cried with He Sheng in her arms: I didn't expect you to be so good. There is one thing you should never bear a grudge against my father. He has already regretted it. Our Li family is sorry for you. My father shouldn't have forced your mother to death? It turned out that Mr. Li took a fancy to He Sheng's young and beautiful mother. After He Sheng's father died of illness, Mr. Li sent someone to propose with silver. He Sheng's mother died of anger and fear and swallowed their anger. Feeling guilty, Mr. Li adopted He Sheng, sent him to school and took him as his husband. At this point, He Sheng was in tears. I've heard a long time ago. Although your father forced my mother to die, he provided me with schooling and brought me up. I can't hate him! ?

A week after their marriage, He Sheng took his wife to Beijing and told the emperor about the Fish Temple. Who knows, Emperor Wanli on the dragon throne was very angry after hearing this: How dare you break into the Fish Temple? Somebody, pull him down and behead him. ?

The words sound just fell and several guards dragged He Sheng in front of his royal highness. He Sheng suddenly laughed. Unexpectedly, I believe in the non-existent fish temple, but those poor people who have been fooled! ? At this time, Wanli also burst out laughing. Hurry and pull He back. ? Several guards busy He Sheng frame back to the temple. I saw the emperor Wanli step down from the dragon chair and come to He Sheng. He Aiqing, I have sent someone to inquire about the Fish Temple. Now I send you to inspect various temples all over the country and severely punish those who swindle and cheat under the banner of immortals. ?

It is said that the number of pilgrims in temples all over the country has suddenly decreased, and many ordinary people are no longer superstitious. And He Sheng, the official grew bigger and bigger, and finally became a college student in the Imperial Academy.

The second folk story: clever alliance to save people

Zhou in Qing Dynasty was a native of Qingyan, Guizhou. He was knowledgeable and recognized as a gifted scholar at that time.

One year, in the spring season, Zhou Yuhuan visited the top ten Buddhist temples and stayed at the temple for the night. Just before he fell asleep, he suddenly heard a weak voice from the next room. Listen carefully, it turns out that someone is reading a couplet repeatedly. Ten thousand bricks, hundreds of craftsmen, and ten Buddhist temples. ?

Zhou Yuhuan became interested as soon as he heard it. He got up and asked the monk in the temple: Who lives next door?

The monk replied:? A few days ago, a scholar named Huang came up with such a line when he visited our temple, but he couldn't think of it. A few days later, he forgot to eat and sleep, thinking hard. Now his life is dying! ?

Zhou Yuhuan asked? Can't anyone help him?

The monk replied:? There are four figures in this couplet: 10,000, 1000, 100 and 100. These four figures are decreasing by 10 times. Couplets are hard to match. Many people have tried, but no one can match. ?

After returning from becoming a monk, Zhou Yuhuan thought for a long time and failed to figure out the bottom line.

The next day, Zhou Yu left Shifang Temple by boat with regrets. On the way, he passed a bridge with the inscription? Eight immortals bridge? Three words, this scene, let his heart suddenly enlightened, ordered the boatman to quickly turn around and return to the Ten Buddhist temples.

Although Huang Shusheng in the temple has been in bed for several days, he is still whispering the sentence:? Ten thousand bricks, hundreds of craftsmen, and ten Buddhist temples. ?

Zhou Yuhuan stood outside the door and responded loudly and rhythmically: one boat, two oars, four people crossing the Eight Immortals Bridge. ?

Hearing this, Huang Shusheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his spirit was greatly boosted. He exclaimed, Miaolian! There are still four numbers in the bottom line: one, two, four and eight, which are tripled. Wonderful! That's great! ?

Huang Shusheng? Heart attack? After elimination, I will walk hand in hand with Zhou Yuhuan and enjoy the beautiful scenery together!

The third folk story: writing couplets for toilets

During the Republic of China, a county magistrate in a county in Shandong province took? Advocate civilization and improve weathering? Nominally, five beautiful public toilets have been built in the county. After the completion of the new toilets, the county magistrate will cut the ribbon one by one, not only ringing gongs and shooting, but also putting red couplets on both sides of each toilet.

Supposedly, county governments are all writers who play with pens. It is not difficult to write a few pairs, but when I heard that it was written correctly for the toilet, I shook my head and sighed one by one, indicating my incompetence. The county magistrate promised four more questions, but there was still no response.

Guo, the secretary of the county government, met the county magistrate to make things difficult. He thought one of his friends, Zheng, was an excellent student in Tsinghua University. He was then the principal of a county middle school. He is good at writing couplets and pleading with county magistrate.

In the evening, Secretary Guo came to the county middle school with a bottle of good wine and a pack of pig heads and found his friend. They chatted over coffee. When President Zheng learned of Secretary Guo's purpose, his face suddenly changed. Brother Guo, it's not difficult to write a few pairs, but I've never heard of the one used in the toilet. Wouldn't it be a joke if it got out? No, I'm sorry the Yu Can brothers can't do that. ?

Secretary Guo was in a hurry and quickly grabbed President Zheng and begged. Brother Zheng, my brother is a policeman of the county government. This matter has been guaranteed to the county magistrate. If Brother Zheng refuses to help, I'm afraid my brother's work will be suspended. ?

President Zheng couldn't get rid of it, saying, come on, come on, for the sake of our friendship, silly brother will throw caution to the wind. ?

The next day, President Zheng stayed up all night, thinking hard until dawn, and finally wrote five couplets that he had never written before:

Never close the door all day.

I haven't seen anyone before.

You must bow when you enter the door.

Cover your nose before crossing the street.

It's comforting to think about it (damn it),

There must be a small discount (urinating) when entering the station.

Everyone was nervous when they came in,

Everyone was calm after going out.

Come and stand, don't squat,

The deceased was either male or female.

Secretary Guo did not bear the great trust of the county magistrate and gave the couplet to the county magistrate. The county magistrate praised it after reading it, and even praised President Zheng as a talent.
