Zheng Banqiao is a famous painter and calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. His poetry skills are relatively good, and he is often amazing. In order to please officials from Beijing, a salt merchant thought, "If only a famous Zheng Banqiao could write a six-foot couplet, it would be great." Therefore, when talking about Zheng Banqiao, Zheng Banqiao offered 1200 yuan. In order to save money, salt merchants want to give Zheng Banqiao a 50% discount. Without saying anything, Zheng Banqiao put pen to paper on the spot, wrote the first couplet: "The Real Prime Minister of Longhushan", and gave it to salt merchants. The businessman was very happy when he saw the great momentum and good sentences, so he quickly asked for the next couplet. Zheng Banqiao said unhurriedly, "I told you it was 1200 yuan, and you only gave half the money, so I'll write half a word for you!" Salt merchants are eager to get Mo Bao, so they have to obediently bid another five hundred and twenty. Zheng Banqiao went on to write a couplet "The Living Immortal on the Kirin Pavilion". In the end, both sides happily wrote this story.
Zheng Banqiao studied calligraphy.
Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, loved calligraphy since childhood. He copied the calligraphy styles of famous ancient calligraphers. After some hard work, he finally wrote something almost identical to his predecessors, and it can confuse people. But people don't appreciate his calligraphy very much, and he is in a hurry. He studies and practices harder than before.
One summer night, he and his wife were sitting outside enjoying the cool. He wrote on his thigh with his finger and on his wife. His wife hit his hand angrily and said, "You have your body, and I have my body. Why not write about your own body and write about other people's bodies? " When sleeping at night, Zheng Banqiao thought, everyone has his own body, and writing has his own font, which is different! Why do I always learn other people's fonts instead of writing my own style? Even if you learn the same as others, it's just someone else's font. What's the point without innovation and your own style? From then on, he learned from the strengths of various schools, combined official script with seal script, grass, lines and model letters, and used painting to write, and finally formed a "six books and a half" which was highly praised by people and often called "rocky pile", and became a famous painter and calligrapher with high reputation in Qing Dynasty.
Tang Bohu Legrau
Tang Bohu is a gifted scholar, but he is honest and clean. This year is coming, and he has no money to use. I think I will get some yearbooks from old Chao Ge when he lives near me! After a little thinking, I wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets for Ge Lao. Ge Lao was very happy when he heard that the couplets were sent by Tang Bohu, and he was rewarded with thirty taels of silver.
After the servants of the Tang government sent them away, Ge Lao opened the couplets and read them carefully. I saw that it said "this year is really unlucky." Every word is as big as a bowl, and there are two sesame-sized "nothing" written below, but Ge Lao's eyes can't see it. I thought, "This year is really good, but not bad. "This year is really bad? "What a bold Tang Bohu! Why does he come to scold me every year and I give him money back? Won't he bully me too much? I went to see you and asked the emperor for severe punishment. "
So, he took a couple to the Golden Hall of Babel and kowtowed to the emperor, saying, "My emperor has the final say. Tang Bohu is a daring fanatic, ignoring the emperor and insulting court officials. It's outrageous. " The emperor asked, "Why did you curse?" "He wrote me a pair, and people said something auspicious. He said I was unlucky. Please have a look. " The emperor looked at the couplet and said it was true. Truth: Tang Bohu, this is your fault. The new year is coming, how to write such a pair to Ge Lao? Tang Bohu was declared to join the Temple.
Tang Bohu came to the golden palace and said, "Long live the Lord, what's wrong with me?" The emperor said, "Why did you write couplets to scold Ge Lao for no reason? He is a court minister, so you should respect him. " Tang Bohu said, "Ge Lao must have misunderstood. How can I scold him? " "This is not you write lang lang characters? Still sophistry. " Pass it to Tang Bohu. "This pair can't be wrong. I'm "really good this year. I'm unlucky. How can I swear? " The emperor said, "There are no words at all." "Aren't there two smaller words?" The emperor saw two smaller words "nothing". Say, "A little?" "Big words count, small words don't count? Do I have to write a word on the paper when writing a document? When the emperor was asked to remain silent, Tang Bohu turned to Ge Lao: "Ge Lao, I wrote a couplet for you, but you said I scolded you and sued the emperor." . What do you think we should do? "Seeing that things were difficult, the emperor shirked and said," Mind your own business. Tang Bohu took Ge Lao outside the Golden Hall and said quietly, "This has ruined my reputation. I can't let you rest, because the Spring Festival is coming soon, and I won't give you too much entanglement. Just pay me three thousand two hundred pieces of silver. " Ge Lao had no choice but to give him three thousand two hundred pieces of silver.
Zhu Zhishan was a great scholar in Ming Dynasty, but he was humorous and greedy. One day, Tang Bohu Wen Zhiming was drinking in a place in Zhu Zhishan. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhishan got there after learning about it. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Eat well now, and I don't need to come." Say, sit down and eat wine.
Tang Bohu winked at Wen Zhiming, and then said to Zhu Zhishan, "Today we have a rule that we must recite a poem as a riddle and name an insect, otherwise we are not allowed to eat." Zhu Zhishan smiled and said, "Well, you go first." Tang Bohu intoned, "The dishes are delicious and the wine is mellow. You are an uninvited gentleman. If you are not afraid of being rejected by others, you will crash into the banquet and run your own camp. " Wen Zhiming went on to say, "The lights are bright, and I like Yingying. I am this gentleman who came uninvited. I hate eating people, hungry and greedy. "
Zhu Zhishan, the uninvited guest, knew that they were making fun of themselves for freeloading, but pretended not to understand, so he also sang a poem: "It's just the right time. I suggest you don't blame the food on your plate. This man is brilliant. How can you get a poem if you don't let him eat or drink? "
After singing, the three of them laughed at each other, drank heartily and ate as drunk as a fiddler.
Please guess which three insects are the answers to the riddles written by the three of them?

If the county can still drive, please call back. " People laughed from ear to ear when they heard the story and Miffy's poem.
