Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard.
Wang Xizhi likes calligraphy since he was a child. After decades of hard work, his calligraphy art has finally reached the peak of transcendence and is known as the "book saint".
When Wang Xizhi 13 years old, he happened to find that his father had a calligraphy book of Shuo, and he stole it. His father worried that he was too young to keep the secret of the family heirloom and promised that he would teach when he grew up. Unexpectedly, Wang Xizhi knelt down and asked his father to allow him to study now. His father was very moved and finally agreed to his request.
Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy very hard, even eating and walking, and he really kept practicing. Without pen and paper, he scratched on his body, and over time, his clothes were cut. Sometimes I practice my handwriting to the point of forgetfulness. Once, he forgot to eat when he practiced calligraphy, and his family sent the meal to the study. He didn't even think about it. He dipped it in ink and ate it. He still thought it was delicious. It was already dark when the family found out.
Wang Xizhi often writes in the pool, so he washes the inkstone in the pool. After a long time, he ran out of ink, so he was called "Mo Chi". At present, Lanting in Shaoxing, Xigu Mountain in Yongjia, Zhejiang, Guizong Temple in Lushan and other places have places of interest known as "Mo Chi".
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art and industrious spirit are praised by the world. Legend has it that Wang Xizhi's marriage was decided by this. Wang Dao, Wang Xizhi's uncle, was the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He and his contemporary teacher Xijian are good friends, and Xijian has a beautiful daughter. One day, Jane told Wang Dao that he wanted to choose a satisfactory son-in-law for his daughter among his sons and nephews. Wang Dao immediately agreed to be selected by him. Wang Dao came home and told your sons and nephews about it. My sons and nephews have long heard that Miss Xi's family is virtuous and beautiful, and they all want her. It is rare for a family to choose a husband, and nephews are busy dressing up. Wang Xiangzhi, however, didn't ask about it, and still lay on the bed in the east wing and devoted himself to the art of calligraphy. After seeing Wang Dao's nephew, the Xi family went back and said to Jian, "The Wangs are all nice, but they know that choosing a husband is a bit stiff and unnatural." Only the son of the east wing doesn't mind lying in bed, just gesticulating on the table with his hand. The county magistrate said happily: Dong Chuang's son must be Wang Xizhi, who has made great achievements in calligraphy. This son is hidden and devoted to his studies. He is just the son-in-law I want. ? So she married her daughter to the king. Wang Dao's other sons and nephews are envious and call him? East bed, fast husband? Since then, "East Bed" has become the laudatory name of son-in-law.
Historical allusions of Zhang Qian's missions to the Western Regions.
In the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, some Huns surrendered to the Han Dynasty. From their conversation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew a little about the Western Regions (now Xinjiang and the west of Xinjiang). They said there was a Yue family (Yu? -ZH and), defeated by the Huns, fled to the west and settled in the western regions. They held a grudge against the Huns and wanted revenge, but no one helped them.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that since Yueshi was in the west of Xiongnu. If the Han Dynasty can unite the Yue people and cut off the contact between the Xiongnu and other countries in the western regions, isn't this equal to cutting off the Xiongnu's right arm?
So, he made an imperial edict, asking capable people to contact the Vietnamese. At that time, no one knew where the moon kingdom was and how far it was. It takes a lot of courage to undertake this task.
There was a young doctor (official name) zhangqian (sound qiān), who thought it was a meaningful thing and applied first. With him taking the lead, others have the confidence and a hundred warriors respond. There was a Hun named Tang Yi's father in Chang 'an, and he was willing to go to Yue's country with Zhang Qian.
In 138 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to look for the Yue people with 100 people. But to go to the Yue people, you must pass through the territory occupied by the Huns. Zhang Qian walked carefully for a few days, but they were surrounded by Huns and all were captured.
The Huns didn't kill them, but sent people to disperse them and control them. Only Tang Yi's father and zhangqian have lived together for more than ten years.
After a long time, the Huns were not so strict with them. Zhangqian consulted with Tang Yi's father. Seeing that the Huns were defenseless, he rode two fast horses and ran away.
They ran west for dozens of days, suffered a lot, escaped from the Xiongnu territory, did not find the Yue people, but broke into another country called Dawan (in modern Central Asia).
Dawan and Xiongnu are close neighbors, and all the locals understand Xiongnu dialect. Zhang Qian and Tang Yi's father can speak Hun dialect, which is convenient to speak. They met King Dawan, who had long heard that the Han Dynasty was a rich and powerful country. This time, he heard that the envoys of the Han Dynasty had arrived, welcomed them, and sent someone to escort them to Kangzhou (about between Lake Balkhash and Aral Sea today), and then from Kangzhou to Renyue.
After being defeated by Xiongnu, the Yue family moved to Daxia (now northern Afghanistan) and established the Yue family country, unwilling to fight against Xiongnu again. Zhang Qian's words did not interest the King of Yue, but because Zhang Qian was an envoy of the Han Dynasty, he was received politely.
Zhang Qian and Tang Yi's father lived in Dayue's home for more than a year, went to a big summer and saw many things they had never seen before. But they couldn't convince the big moon family to deal with the Huns and had to come back. After passing through the territory of Xiongnu, he was detained for a period of time. Fortunately, the Huns were in civil strife, so he fled back to Chang 'an.
Zhang Qian didn't come back until he was away for thirteen years. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he had made great contributions and named him as a Chinese medicine practitioner.
Zhang Qian made a detailed report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty about the countries in the Western Regions. He said:? I saw Qiongshan in summer (in today's Sichuan Province, Qiongyinqi? Ng) Bamboo sticks and fine cloth produced in Sichuan (now Chengdu, Sichuan). The local people said that these things were sold by Tianzhu (now India) merchants. ? He thinks that since Tianzhu can buy things from Sichuan, it must be not far from Sichuan.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian as an emissary and set out from Sichuan with gifts to make friends with Tianzhu. Zhang Qian divided the troops into four teams and went to Tianzhu separately. Four groups of people walked two thousand miles each, but they couldn't find it. Some were beaten back by local tribes.
A group of people going south were also blocked when they arrived in Kunming. The envoys of the Han Dynasty bypassed Kunming and went to Yunnan and Vietnam (in present-day eastern Yunnan). The last generation of Dian Yue Wang was originally from Chu, and was isolated from the Central Plains for several generations. He is willing to help Zhang Qian find the way to Tianzhu, but Kunming is blocked in the middle and can't get there.
When Zhang Qian returned to Chang 'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that although he didn't find Tianzhu, he was satisfied with making a friend who had never been in contact with Yunnan and Vietnam.
After Wei Qing and Huo Qubing wiped out the main force of Xiongnu soldiers, Xiongnu fled to the north of the desert. Many countries in the western regions saw that Xiongnu had lost power and influence and were unwilling to pay tribute to Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took this opportunity to send Zhang Qian to the Western Regions again. In 65438 BC+065438 BC+09 BC, Zhang Qian and several of his deputies made friends with the Western Regions with 300 warriors, two horses each, more than 10,000 cattle and sheep, gold, coins, silks and satins and other gifts.
When Zhang Qian arrived in Wusun (Xinjiang), King Wusun came out to meet him. Zhang Qian gave him a generous gift, suggesting that the two countries become relatives and fight against the Huns together. King Wusun only knew that the Han Dynasty was far away from Wusun, but he didn't know how powerful the Han Dynasty was. He wanted help from the Han Dynasty, but he was afraid of offending the Huns. So Wu Sun and his subjects discussed how to deal with the Huns for several days, but they still couldn't decide.
Afraid of delaying the day, Zhang Qian sent his deputy with gifts to contact Dayuan, Dayue and Khotan respectively (in Hotan, Xinjiang today, Khotan sounds ti? N) and other countries.
King Wu Sunguo also sent several translators to help them.
Many of these representatives have been away for many days and have not returned. King Wusun sent Zhang Qian back to Chang 'an first. He sent dozens of people to visit Chang 'an with Zhang Qian, and took dozens of marooned horses to the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy to see them, and he also met the horse sent by King Wusun, and gave special treatment to Wusun's emissary.
A year later, Zhang Qian died of illness. Zhang Qian's deputy sent to western countries also returned to Chang 'an. The delegates summed up the places they have been to, and they have always been to 36 countries.
Since then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has sent envoys to visit western countries every year, and the Han Dynasty has established friendly exchanges with western countries. The envoys and businessmen sent by the western regions are also in an endless stream. China's silk and silk products are transported to West Asia and then to Europe through the Western Regions. Later people called this route? The Silk Road? .
Archimedes
In 2 15 BC, Roman general Maceiras led a large army and brought warships to the historic city of Syracuse. Maceiras thinks Syracuse Gu Chenghui Jr. is self-defeating. Hearing the great reputation of the Roman army, the people in the city did not surrender in Kaesong? However, the question and answer of the Roman army was a series of terrible darts, arrows and stones.
The small shields of the Romans could not resist countless stones, large and small. They were killed and ran for their lives. Suddenly, countless giant crane-type mechanical giants protrude from the city wall. They grabbed Roman warships, hung them in mid-air, and finally threw them on rocks by the sea, or threw them heavily into the sea. The ship was wrecked and people died. Maceiras was lucky not to get hurt, but he was frightened. He completely lost his pride when he first came and became confused. Finally, we had to order a retreat and sail the boat to a safe place. The Roman army suffered heavy casualties and was stunned by the ancient Syracuse.
But where are the enemies? They can't even find a shadow. Maceiras finally said with emotion to the soldiers around him:? How's it going? In this geometry? A hundred-handed giant? In front of us, we have to give up fighting. He threw our warships as a game. In a flash, he threw so many darts, arrows and stones at us. Isn't he worse than the mythical giant with a hundred hands? Maceiras said that? A hundred-handed giant? who is it? It turned out that all the educated people at that time knew that Archimedes, the human wizard, lived in the ancient city of Silas. Archimedes, who is over 70 years old, is a world-famous great scientist.
He used levers, pulleys, cranks, screws and gears to defend the ancient city of Sila. He not only used manpower to start the machine for projecting darts, arrows and stone bullets, but also used wind and water power, and used knowledge about balance and center of gravity, curves and the use of force from a distance. No wonder Maceiras easily found the reason for his fiasco. That night, Maceiras approached the city wall overnight. He thinks Asmid's machine can't work.
Unexpectedly, Asmid had already prepared short-distance instruments such as trebuchets, and forced back the Roman army's attack again. The Romans were scared to death. As soon as they saw the wooden beam or rope on the wall, they ran away screaming. Archimedes is here. ? Archimedes was born into a noble family in Syracuse, and his father was an astronomer. Under the influence of his father, Asmid was fond of learning, thinking and arguing since childhood. When I grew up, I traveled across the ocean to study in Alexandria, Egypt. He learned philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, physics and other knowledge from Conon of Samos, a student of the famous scientist Euclid at that time, and finally learned from others and mastered the rich Greek cultural heritage.
After returning to Syracuse, he insisted on keeping in touch with scholars in Alexandria and exchanging scientific research results. He inherited the rigor of Euclid's proof theorem, but his intelligence and achievements were far higher than Euclid's. He closely linked mathematical research with mechanics and mechanics, and used mathematics to study practical problems such as mechanics. Protecting mechanical giants and trebuchets in the battle of Syracuse is the most vivid example, which strongly proves that? Knowledge is power? The truth. During his study in Alexandria, he often walked along the Nile. In the season of long drought and no rain, he saw farmers laboriously pumping water from the Nile to irrigate the land, so he created a spiral water pump to take water from the river through spiral rotation, which saved farmers a lot of effort. Not only used today, but also the original prototype of all propellers used on water and in the air at present.
Hugo
Victor? Hugo is the leader of the French Romantic Movement and one of the greatest writers in the history of French literature.
His life almost spanned the whole19th century, and his literary career lasted for 60 years, with enduring creation. His romantic novels are wonderful and moving, vigorous and powerful, and have permanent charm for readers. Hugo 1802 was born in Shaoshangsong City in the south of France. My grandfather was a carpenter and my father was an American army officer. He was once killed by Napoleon's brother, King Joseph of Spain. Bonaparte conferred the rank of general on the king.
Hugo was brilliant and began to write poems at the age of 9. /kloc-Reading Music written at the age of 0/5 won the French Academy Award; At the age of 20, the King of Louis Stanislas Xavier gave him an annuity to publish a collection of poems, Odes and Miscellaneous Poems.
1827, Hugo published the play Cromwell and its preface. Although the script was not performed, the preface was regarded as a declaration of French romanticism and an epoch-making document in the history of literature. It greatly promoted the development of French romantic literature.
From 65438 to 0830, Hugo's play Onani was staged in the Grand Theatre of the French Academy, which had a great influence and established the leading position of romanticism in French literature. Onani tells the story of a Spanish robber of noble birth who rebelled against the king in16th century. Hugo praised the robber's chivalry and aristocratic temperament, showing a strong anti-feudal tendency.
1830 July, what happened in France? July Revolution? The feudal restoration dynasty was overthrown. Hugo enthusiastically praised the revolution, the revolutionaries, and wrote poems to mourn the heroes who died in the street fighting.
Notre Dame de Paris, published in 183 1, is Hugo's most romantic novel. The plot of the novel is bizarre, tense, vivid, unpredictable, dramatic and legendary. The story happened in the Middle Ages.
? April Fool's Day? On that day, wandering gypsy artists performed songs and dances in the square, and a gypsy girl named Esmeralda attracted passers-by. She dances beautifully. At this time, the vice bishop of Notre Dame de Paris Claude? Frollo suddenly fell in love with the beautiful Melada, and he fell madly in love with her. So he ordered the church bell ringer, and ugly quasimodo took Esmeralda away.
As a result, Fabi, the captain of the French king's bow and arrow, saved Esmeralda and captured quasimodo. He took the bell ringer to the square and whipped him, but the kind gypsy girl gave quasimodo water to drink. The bell ringer is ugly in appearance, but pure and noble in heart. He was very grateful to Esmeralda and fell in love with her. Naive Esmeralda fell in love with Fabi at first sight. When they were dating, frollo followed them quietly. Out of jealousy, he stabbed Fabi with a knife and ran away. Hermes Rada was sentenced to death for murder.
Quasimodo took Esmeralda out from under the gallows and hid it in Notre Dame. Frollo took the opportunity to threaten gypsy girls to satisfy his lust. After being rejected, he handed her over to the king's army and the innocent girl was hanged. Quasimodo angrily pushed frollo out of the church and died. He hugged Esmeralda's body and died. The novel shows Hugo's strong hatred for the feudal government and the church, and also reflects his deep sympathy for the lower classes.
? July Revolution? Then France established the financier Louis? Big bourgeois rule headed by Philip? July dynasty. ? The July dynasty kept wooing Hugo, and Hugo was elected to the French Academy on 184 1, and on 1845, Louis? Philip made him a French aristocrat and became a member of the House of Lords. Hugo's enthusiasm for struggle in creation has weakened. 1843 wrote a mysterious drama "garrison officer", which was booed by the audience and failed. Hugo was silent for nearly 10 years without writing.
1848 In June, the people of Paris held a revolution, overthrew the July Dynasty and established the Republic of China. Hugo didn't understand the revolution at first, but when the big bourgeoisie plotted to destroy the Republic, Hugo became a staunch pacifist. 185 1 year 65438+ February, Louis? Bonaparte staged a coup, and Hugo took part in the anti-coup uprising organized by * * * and party member.
Louis? After Bonaparte came to power, the Second Empire of France was established. He pursued a policy of terror and ruthlessly suppressed the rebels. Hugo was persecuted and had to go into exile. During his exile, Hugo persisted in his struggle with Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte. He wrote political satirical pamphlets and poems and lashed out at Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte's dictatorship. During this period, he published the novels Les Miserables, Marine Laborers and Smiling Man. Les Miserables is Hugo's masterpiece.
