& lt& lt Elvis Presley & gt；; The original author is Mr. Shi Yukun. The five mice in his works are lifelike, as if they came down from a paper, with distinct personality and lifelike. These five mice are: the mountain rat mouse and the golden pheasant. These five clever titles all have an allusion.
Mr. Shi Yukun's house is often haunted by rats, which often interferes with his writing. When he was writing Five Mice, it suddenly occurred to him whether he could organically combine the people in the novel with the mice in reality.
So gophers (rats in the ceiling or attic) and hamsters (real rats) wear mountain rat (rats in the wall), rats crossing the river (rats in sewers) and golden pheasants (rats raised artificially are the most exquisite and beautiful).
Due to the lack of literature, Shi Yukun's birth and death year, native place and family background, life story, writings and other issues are difficult to know today, and researchers have different opinions, among which there are many accidental misjudgments, which need to be clarified in combination with relevant literature and previous studies. Although the research on this issue is limited by the lack of data, some things can be roughly inferred from the relevant records.
Judging from the available information, Shi Yukun mainly lived in Jiaqing and Daoguang years, which was earlier than people's impression in the past. According to Notes of Non-factory, Shi Yukun, a native of Tianjin (quoted from Shi Yukun's Long Tu Gong An), is the author of Wang Jinian (191949), China Modern Literature Essays (novel Zheng) and so on. Fu Cha Guiqing once wrote a poem praising Shi Yukun, and prefaced it by saying, "Shi Sheng Yukun has been known as Liu Jingting by his stage name for nearly 20 years. According to Wu and Wu Shuo who disclosed this poem, "it is regarded as Daoguang seventeen years ago" (Tianjin Daily, August 29th 196 1, a valuable poem by Wu and Wu). So Shi Yukun became famous at least in the early years of Daoguang. In fact, he may have become famous earlier. In the repertoire of Qingsheng Pingban in the fourth year of Daoguang (1824), there are many important scenes such as Qionglin Banquet, Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses, Encounter and Hua Hu Die. " "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" was created by Shi Yukun, and the opera was based on it. It must have been after the "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" was widely circulated. According to common sense, artists have to undergo apprenticeship training for a period of time before they become famous. Even if Shi Yukun was gifted and made his debut early, he would have to be at least twenty or thirty years old to become famous. In this way, even by conservative estimation, Shi Yukun was born at least five years earlier than Jiaqing (1800).
Shi Yukun reached the peak of art mainly in Daoguang period and enjoyed a high reputation, which can be confirmed by relevant literature records. From the 23rd year of Daoguang (1843) to the 25th year of Daoguang (1845), Shi Yukun in Jin Tiyun's Di Zi Book devoted himself to describing the grand occasion of Shi Yukun. As the saying goes, "Yu Kun should be called a storyteller in Daoguang" ("A Ying on Shi Kun", in anthology, bookstore, page 198 1 303), and his neighbors also said that "those who worship foreigners in Daoguang take the three chivalrous men and five righteous men as the most important". As for the year when Shi Yukun died, it is still unknown. When talking about the edition of Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses published by Juzhentang in Guangxu period, Chongyi particularly emphasized that "this light was handed down by Shi Yukun", which revealed a sense of comparison between the present and the present. Supposedly, if Shi Yukun was still alive during Guangxu period, he would not have deliberately emphasized the time of "Daoguang". Some researchers speculate on the date of the first edition of The Legend of Loyalty and Righteousness, and think that Shi Yukun "should have died in the decade of Tongzhi (187 1)" (Zhao Kan's Shi Yukun and His Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses, Hebei Literature 1968). Li Jiarui thinks that Shi Yukun "died in the last years of Tongzhi" (Li Jiarui's From Shi Yukun's Long Tu Case-solving to Three Heroes and Five Righteousness), compiled by Wang Junnian (191949 "China Modern Literature Essays" (novel volume), 324 pages), according to Li Zongdong. However, Shi Yukun's death may be earlier. Cai Wei did not publish the Record of Beijing Artists as follows: "(Shi Yukun) died and praised Kun's disciple's book, which was famous for a while." (Quoted from Zhao's preface to "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, 1980) Zankun, a disciple book, is also known as Tan Kun, Yu Kun, Ping Kunlun or Shi Yukun. If this statement is true, Shi Yukun was in Daoguang for twenty-three years (1843) to twenty-five years. To be on the safe side, it is probably not a big problem to say that Shi Yukun died in Tongzhi years or before.
The reason why Shi Yukun can attract so much attention and have such a great influence in society is mainly because of his superb singing skills. "Disciple Book" Shi Yukun has a very vivid description of this: "The high price is superior, overwhelming the unemployed people in the rivers and lakes, alarming officials and spreading market effects." (Zi Dishu Shi Yukun, Guan Dedong, Zhou Zhongming, Zi Dishu Congchao, Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, 1984734). Shi Yukun's plays are Zidishu and Danxian, and some people call them "the ancestor of Danxian" (Chongyi's Miscellanies of the Ruling and Opposition since Daoism, 9 pages). Not only that, he also created a new genre of rap art-Shi Paishu, also known as Shi Yunshu. It can be seen that its performances were still very popular at that time, so that some bookstores took advantage of this to make a profit, "copy and sell in sections, publish another catalogue, and write if necessary." Even the storytellers at that time were full of praise for Yu Kun: "Take Mr. Yu Kunshi for example. Why can't you beat him? " He won't come out now. He went to that library and said it only three times a day, stringing dozens of dollars. Now he is famous in nine cities. Who doesn't know Master Shi? (The manuscript "Birthday of the Southern Qing Palace" is quoted from Liu Decai's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses", Feng Chun Literature and Art Publishing House, 1999, 2 pages). It is said that Shi Yukun once offered a sacrifice to Li (Jin Shoushen's Notes on the Old Library, Quyi1August 959-1month), but this record seems to be "sexual retreat, wandering around the market, the princes can't recruit" in the preface of Fu Chagui's poem Knowing Money. Judging from the description in Fu Cha's Birthday Poem, Shi Yukun is a folk artist with personality and backbone.
Shi Yukun is most praised for his innovation in performance content, especially his originality. He combined Bao Gong's trial with the chivalrous theme of Jianghu, and created a new novel theme-the case-solving chivalrous novel based on the historical case, which had a great influence on popular literature including rap, novels and operas in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Obviously, Shi Yukun is not the kind of artist who follows the trend. It has enjoyed a high reputation for decades and has become a folk artist with the same reputation as Liu Jingting. He was not only greatly welcomed by the people in the street, but also accepted by the literati. As the disciple Shi Yukun said, "He compiled the Bao Gong case in the Song Dynasty and made Shi Yukun at that time." For this set of books initiated by himself, Shi Yukun is still very emotional. According to the storyteller at that time, "Master Yu Kun talked about the case all his life" and "followed the text all his life" (the manuscript "The Break of Tianqi Temple" was quoted from the second page of Lu Decai's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses"). Shi Yukun created "three chivalrous men and five righteous men", and Hu Shi summed it up as: "Part of it is tradition and part is creation. Probably, most of the parts about Bao Gong are traditional, and almost all the parts about chivalrous heroes are creative. (The preface to Hu Shi's Three Heroes and Five Righteousness contains Collected Works on Hu Shi's Classical Literature, Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, pp. 1988,198) Because of the popularity of the Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses, other folk artists have followed suit. Before Shi Yukun died, there were people who said three chivalrous men and five righteous men with him at the same time.
