Mosquitoes in summer sound like thunder. I compare them to flocks of cranes flying in the sky. In my heart, hundreds of mosquitoes have become cranes. I looked up and my neck was stiff. I let mosquitoes stay in the curtains, slowly inhale the smoke and let them fly against it, watching it be a white crane in Qingyun. Sure enough, it is like a crane in the cloud, which is refreshing.
I often crouch in a place where the earth wall is pitted or where the flowers are overgrown with weeds, and observe carefully, taking grass as the forest, insects and ants as the beasts, convex soil as the hills and valleys as the valleys, enjoying myself.
One day, I saw two bugs fighting in the grass. I was very happy to see them. Suddenly, a huge monster came down from the mountain and fell from the tree. It turned out to be a frog. As soon as his tongue came out, the two worms were swallowed by it. I was young and lost in thought, so I cried out in fear. After a pause, he caught the frog, whipped it dozens of times and drove it to another yard.

When Dongpo took office in Qiantang, someone complained that a man owed 20 thousand yuan to buy a spiritual scroll, so he was asked by the official. He said that my family made a living as a fan only because my father died. It has been raining since this spring, and the weather is cold, so I can't buy ready-made fans. I didn't mean to owe him money. Dongpo stared at him for a long time and said, bring the fan you made temporarily and I'll sell it to you. After a while, the fans arrived. Dongpo took 20 blank curling fans, picked up a writing pen, wrote running script and cursive script, and drew dead wood and bamboo stones with a wave of his hand. Tell the man to sell it outside and pay back the money. The man went out with a fan in tears. As soon as he entered the mansion, some busybodies rushed to buy a fan for several thousand dollars, and the ones in his hand were sold out immediately. The ones behind him could not be bought, and they all left with regret. The fan seller sold the fan and paid the debt.

During the reign of Song Taizong, there was a Wang Zhu who studied Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and learned the essence of Xi's calligraphy, and was elected as an academician. When Taizong was in the imperial court, he liked to practice calligraphy. On several occasions, he asked the housekeeper to give Wang Zhu comments with her own works. Wang Zhu often thinks that it is not perfect. So Emperor Taizong studied more attentively, and then which work was evaluated by Wang Zhu, he still said as usual that it was not good enough. When someone asked him what he meant, Wang Zhu said, "The handwriting written by Emperor Taizong is already very good, but if it is said that it is well written at once, I am afraid that the emperor will no longer write with his heart." Later, Taizong's calligraphy was excellent, surpassing the ancients, and the world believed that Wang Zhu encouraged him.

Eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth are all human-like spirituality. They can talk and think. One day, the nose and mouth at the bottom of the five senses said, "What skill do you have over me?" The nose said, "I can tell the smell from the smell. I know what I can eat and what I can't eat." Every time I tell you, you can eat with your mouth open or your mouth closed. So my position should be above yours. "When I finish my nose, the more I think about it, the more I feel important, not under my eyebrows or eyes. I can't help asking my eyes, "What talent do you have, but your position is higher than mine? "Eyes tell nose:" I can see things far away, perceive the beauty, ugliness, goodness and evil of things, collect information for my brain, and let him judge the advantages and disadvantages of my environment, which is convenient for us guys to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. "So above you." The nose feels a little reasonable: "I am convinced when you say that." But what ability does that eyebrow have, above me? "Before eyes open, the eyebrows took the woman:" I don't understand what you said, and I don't want to compete with you. "But what would this face look like if I grew under my eyes and nose?"
