The official situation is like ink grinding, and the poetic realm is like a chess game with low quality
In November of the 37th year of Qianlong (1772), Anhui academician Zhu Jun raised the issue of the loss of the "Yongle Dadian" After gaining approval from Emperor Qianlong, he issued an order to compile the collected lost books together with "all the official engravings collected by the provinces and Wuying Palace". The imperial court gathered 360 celebrities, including Ji Yun, Dai Zhen, and Weng Fanggang, to organize and publish the "Sikuquanshu" and "Sikuquanshu General Catalog". There are also people who are indifferent and do not participate in this matter. For example: Qixin, the elder brother of Liang Shizheng, a scholar of Dongge University, was named Shoucun. After entering the Imperial Academy, he begged to be raised by his family. Liang Tongshu was the eldest son of Liang Shizheng. He was adopted by his uncle since he was a child.

But when Yuan Mei returned to Hangzhou, she had a luxurious meal, one host and one guest, just relative to each other. Therefore, Yuan Mei's "Ji Huai" says: "One meal is reserved and often chooses guests, and half of one's life is lonely and cold. It is not suitable to spend time." Liang Tongshu replied with many poems of "Anti-Wandering Immortals", two of which are recorded here: "I once served in the third hall of the main hall, looking at the banquet in the distance. Jie Xia Penglai. How can a flying star be caught in the net of the world? "What's wrong with the troubled mayfly? Since I secretly ate Ji Kangsui, I have felt a lot of pain in my chest."

He gets dozens of pieces of paper every day, and people ask for them one after another." He has no tired appearance. Mr. Gai is also a disciple of Zhao and Dong in his early years. However, he has been able to write independently since he was strong and did not bother to rely on the ancients, so his writings have no meaning, just like the children of the old family. It's just about following the rules and being fed and warm for the rest of your life. "I don't care about fame and fortune, and I make a living through calligraphy.

In the west room, Yu Xiao said: "You must have eight hundred years of life of Peng Zu to pay off this debt." Liang Wei smiled and wrote a poem to confess: "Wang Youjun returned from the tomb, and in his later years he paid the scrivener." I wish I could work hard as a human being. ''It's ridiculous to graffiti for more than four centuries, and I've spent half my life in ruins. , Wei Zhi Wuyunzhi was mistakenly told. There is no real reward in the world, and the name of the book has never been known. It is not necessarily the case that the Western family is better than the Eastern family. ''My hands are not separated and my eyes are not dim. Why do I want to break up my career? From now on, I will work hard and be lazy to serve the officials. '' Liang Tongshu's arrogance can be seen here.

Wang Futing has a saying: "The official relationship is like the ink that is polished, and the poetic realm is like the chess game that is not high." It is a footnote to Liang Tongshu's indifferent life. . In the prosperous period of Qianlong, it was especially rare and worthy of our remembrance.
