The first volume of the seventh grade
1. Tongqu (Shenfu)
I recall that when I was a child, I could look straight at the sun with my eyes wide open and my eyesight was excellent. Every time I meet something small, I have to observe its texture carefully, so I can often feel the happiness beyond the thing itself.
On summer nights, mosquitoes make thunderous calls. I compare them to cranes flying in the air. When I think about it, there are really hundreds of white cranes ahead. Looking up at them, even the neck became stiff. I left a few mosquitoes in the white curtain, slowly spraying smoke, making them fly and screaming at the smoke, forming a picture of a white crane in Qingyun, which really made me feel very happy.
I often squat down where the earth wall is uneven and where there are flowers and plants, so that my body is as high as the table. I regard bushes as trees, insects and mosquitoes as beasts, the protruding parts of clods as hills, and the sunken parts as gullies. I am happy and satisfied with my imaginary journey in this realm.
One day, I saw two bugs fighting in the grass. I squatted down to observe. I am very interested. Suddenly, a huge beast came from the mountain and fell from the tree. It turned out to be a frog. When its tongue spit out, it ate both bugs. At that time, I was still very young, so fascinated that I couldn't help but exclaim. When he came to his senses, he caught the frog, whipped it dozens of times and drove it to other yards.
2. Ten Analects of Confucius
1. Confucius said, "Isn't it fun to learn (knowledge) and then practice (review) at a certain time?" Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Others don't know me, but I don't dislike it. Aren't you also a gentleman? "
2. Ceng Zi said: "I will reflect on myself many times every day: Have I tried my best to work for others? Is it honest to associate with friends? Have you reviewed what the teacher taught you? "
3. Confucius said: "Only by reviewing old knowledge can we have new experiences and discoveries, so we can be teachers."
4. Confucius said: "If you only read and don't think, you will be confused and get nothing; It is dangerous to dream without reading. "
Confucius said, "I will teach you the attitude of knowing and not knowing: knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing-this is wisdom."
6. Confucius said: "When you see a wise man, you should look up to it. When you see an immoral person, you should reflect on whether you have similar problems with him. "
7. Confucius said, "When several people walk together, there must be a teacher. I will choose their advantages to learn and I will correct their shortcomings. "
8. Ceng Zi said: "A scholar must be broad-minded and determined, because he has a great mission and a long way to go. Isn't it important to realize the ideal of' benevolence' as your mission? Until death, isn't it far? "
9. Confucius said, "Only in the cold winter do we know that pine trees and cypresses are the last to shed leaves."
10. Zi Gong asked: "Is there a sentence that can be pursued for a lifetime?" Confucius said: "That is probably forgiveness (Tao)!" ! Don't impose what you hate on others. "
4. Rock (Pu Songling)
The "mountain city" around the mountain is one of the eight scenic spots in Zichuan County, but it often does not appear once every few years. One day, Sun and his friends were drinking upstairs. Suddenly, he saw a lonely pagoda on the top of the mountain, towering into the sky. Look at me, I look at you, surprised and confused, thinking that there is no Buddhist temple near here. Not long after, I saw dozens of palaces with high roofs with blue tiles, only to know that they were originally "mountain cities". Not long after, the high city wall (appeared again) and the short concave-convex wall (at the top) stretched for six or seven miles, which turned out to be a city. There are pavilions, halls and neighborhoods in the city, which are clearly presented in front of us, countless. Suddenly there was a strong wind and thick smoke, and the whole city became blurred. After a while, the wind stopped and the sky was mysterious. All the previous scenes have disappeared. There is only one tall building, which is connected with the sky. There are five rooms on each floor, and the windows are all open. There are five bright places, the sky outside the building.
Point to the number layer by layer, the higher the room, the smaller the bright spot; Counting to the eighth floor, the bright spot is only as small as a star; Further up, it becomes dim, as if there is nothing, and its level cannot be seen clearly. People come and go upstairs, each doing his own thing, some leaning against (the railing) and some standing with different postures. After a while, the building became lower and the roof could be seen. Gradually, it becomes the same as ordinary buildings; Gradually, it became a high bungalow; Suddenly, it shrunk to the size of a fist, to the size of a bean, and finally disappeared completely.
I also heard that some people who get up early and are in a hurry see houses, markets and shops on the mountain, which is no different from the situation on earth, so people call it "ghost market".
5. Two pieces of Shi Shuo Xin Yu
First, recite the snow.
On a cold snowy day, Dr. Xie brought his family together to talk about poetry and papers with his sons and nephews. Suddenly, it snowed heavily, and the teacher said happily, "What is this heavy snow like?" Hu Er, his brother's eldest son, said, "It's almost like sprinkling salt in the air." His brother's daughter said, "Blowing catkins all over the sky is better than style." A teacher smiled happily. Dao Yun is the daughter of Xie Wuyi, the eldest brother of a teacher and the wife of General Zuo Wang Ningzhi.
Second, Chen Taiqiu and his friendship period
Chen Taiqiu invited friends to go out and meet at noon. It's past noon, Taiqiu left without waiting. Only after Qiu left did the talents come. Chen Yuanfang, the eldest son of Qiu, was playing outside the door when he was seven years old. The man asked Fiona Fang, "Is your father at home?" Fiona Fang replied, "If you haven't come for a long time, he has already left." The man lost his temper and scolded, "What a shame! I asked someone else to go with me, but I left without them. " Fiona Fang said, "You have an appointment with my father to start together at noon. If it is not noon, it is not trustworthy. " It is impolite to scold your father for your son. The man felt ashamed. He got out of the car and tried to shake hands with Fiona Fang, but he walked into his car door without looking back.
6. Four fables
Third, Naoko suspects his neighbor.
There was a rich man in the state of Song. The wall collapsed because of the heavy rain. His son said, "If we don't build it quickly, thieves will come in." The old man next door said the same thing. (But rich people don't listen. Sure enough, I lost a lot of property that night. The family admired their son's cleverness, but suspected that the theft was done by the old man next door.
Fourth, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
Among the people living near the frontier fortress, there is a person who is good at speculating good and bad luck and mastering several tricks. Once, his horse ran to the residence of the Hu people for no reason. People came to comfort him for this. The old man said, "Why can't this be a blessing?" A few months later, the lost horse came back with the good horse of the Hu people. People came to congratulate him. The old man added, "Why can't this be a disaster?" There are many good horses in the fortune teller's house. His son likes riding horses, and as a result, he fell off his horse and broke his thigh. People began to sympathize with him. The old man said, "Why can't this be a blessing?" A year later, the Hu people invaded the frontier fortress on a large scale, and all the able-bodied men took up arms to fight. Nine out of ten people near the frontier fortress died. The man was saved in the battle only because he was lame, and the father and son saved their lives together.

1. quotient (Wang Anshi)
Fang Zhongyong is a civilian in Jinxi County, who has been farming for generations. When Zhong Yong was five years old, he never knew pen, ink, paper and inkstone. (One day) he burst into tears and asked for these things. My father was surprised by this, so he borrowed it from his neighbor's house. (Zhong Yong) immediately wrote four poems and inscribed his name. This poem is about supporting parents, uniting people of the same clan, and spreading it to the scholars in the whole town to watch. From then on, he was assigned to write a poem, and (he can) write it immediately. The literary grace and truth of the poem are worth seeing. People in the same county were shocked by him and gradually invited his father to be a guest. Some people even paid Zhong Yong to write poems. His father thinks it's profitable, so he drags Zhong Yong to visit people in the same county every day and doesn't let him study.
I've heard a long time ago. In the era of Ming Dow, my late father and I returned to my hometown and met him at my uncle's house. (He) is twelve or thirteen years old. Letting (him) write poetry is not as good as his previous reputation. Seven years later, I came back from Yangzhou and went to my uncle's house again. When I asked Fang Zhongyong, I replied, "(He) completely disappeared and became an ordinary person."
Mr. Wang said: our knowledge and understanding ability are innate. His talent is far higher than that of ordinary talented people. Because he didn't get the education the day after tomorrow, he finally became an ordinary person. A naturally intelligent person like him will become an ordinary person if he has no acquired education. Therefore, those ordinary people who are not born smart now may not be ordinary if they don't receive the acquired education.
2. Sun Quan advised Xi Zijian.
At the beginning, Sun Quan, the prince of Wu, said to the general, "You are now in an important position and have great power. You should study hard!" Lv Meng refused on the grounds that there were many military affairs. Sun Quan said, "Do I want you to learn classics and become a learned man? You only need to learn knowledge extensively, and you don't need to study deeply. You said you had a lot of things to deal with, which one can compare with me? I often read books and feel that I have gained a lot. " Then Lumeng began to study.
Lu Su, a famous Soochow player, passed by here to discuss world affairs with Yang He. Lu Su was very surprised when he heard this opinion, and said, "Your current talent and strategy are no longer comparable to those of that year!" Lv Meng said: "For ambitious people, after a few days apart, you should polish your eyes and re-examine his talents. Dude, why do you see things so late! " Then Lu Su visited Monroe's mother, became friends with Monroe, and then left.
3. ventriloquism
There is a man in Beijing who is good at performing ventriloquism. One day, there happened to be a big banquet for guests, and an eight-foot wide curtain was hung in the northeast corner of the living room. The ventriloquist sat in the curtain with only a table, a chair, a fan and a piece of wood. The guests sat around together. After a while, I heard a clapping sound from the curtain, and the whole audience was quiet. No one dares to speak loudly.
I only heard dogs barking in a deep alley in the distance. A woman was awakened, yawning and stretching, and her husband was talking in his sleep. After a while, the child woke up and burst into tears. The husband is awake, too. The woman patted the child and fed him. The child is still crying with nipples in his mouth. The woman patted the child and hummed him to sleep. Another big boy woke up and chattered. At this time, the woman patted the child's voice with her hand, hummed in her mouth, the child cried with a nipple, the voice of an older child just woke up, and the husband shouted at the voice of an older child. All this sounded at the same time, and all kinds of voices were vividly interpreted. All the guests cocked their heads and listened intently without craning their necks, smiling and secretly admiring, thinking it was wonderful!
Before long, the husband's snoring began, and the voice of the woman patting the child gradually stopped for a while. I vaguely heard the sound of a mouse, the knocking of pots and pans, and the cough of a woman in my dream. Hearing this, the guests relaxed a little and sat up straight gradually.
Suddenly a man shouted, "Fire!" The husband stood up and shouted, the wife stood up and shouted, and the two children began to cry together. When braking, hundreds of people were shouting, hundreds of children were crying and hundreds of dogs were barking. With the sound of the collapse of the middle house, the crackling sound of the fire burning, the whistling wind, thousands of voices sounded together; It is also mixed with the cries of hundreds of people for help, the shouts made by firefighters when they pushed down the burning house, the sound of grabbing things in the fire, and the sound of splashing water. There is no sound that should be there. Even if a person has hundreds of hands and hundreds of fingers on one hand, he can't clearly point out which kind of sound; Even if a person has hundreds of mouths and a mouth has hundreds of tongues, he can't tell one of them apart. In this case, all the guests changed their faces without fear, left their seats, raised their sleeves, exposed their arms, and their legs trembled, almost wanting to rush to escape.
Suddenly, when I woke up, all kinds of sounds disappeared. When the curtain was opened, there was still only one person, a table, a chair, a fan and a piece of wood.
4. Two short essays
First, Kuafu's daily classic mountains and seas
Kuafu raced against the sun until the sun set; He felt thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he went to the Yellow River and Weishui to drink water. The Yellow River and the Weihe River are short of water, so we go to the great lakes in the north to drink water. I died of thirst before I got to the Great Lake. His abandoned cane turned into a peach garden.
5. Wolf (Pu Songling)
A butcher came home late that night. He had sold out all the meat in his load, leaving only some bones. I met two wolves on the road and followed them for a long time.
The butcher was afraid and picked up a bone and threw it out. One wolf got the bone and stopped, and the other wolf followed. The butcher picked up another bone and threw it over. The wolf who got the bone stopped later, but the wolf who got the bone first followed. The bones have been thrown away, and the two wolves are still chasing together as before.
The butcher was embarrassed. He was afraid of being attacked by a wolf. I saw a threshing floor in the wild. The owner piled firewood on the threshing floor and built it like a hill. The butcher then ran over, leaned over the pile of firewood, put down the burden and picked up the butcher's knife. Both wolves dared not go forward and stared at the butcher.
After a while, one wolf went straight away, and the other wolf squatted in front like a dog. After a long time, the wolf's eyes seem to be closed, and it looks very leisurely. The butcher suddenly jumped up, cut the wolf's head with a knife and killed the wolf with several knives. The butcher was about to hit the road when he turned to the back of the haystack and saw another wolf digging a hole in the haystack, trying to get through and attack the butcher from behind. The wolf's body is already half, showing only his ass and tail. The butcher cut off the wolf's hind legs from behind and killed the wolf. I realized that the wolf in front pretended to sleep, which was originally used to lure the enemy.
The wolves were too cunning, but after a while, both wolves were hacked to death. How many tricks can animals use? This is just a joke.
6. Mulan poetry
One sigh after another, Miss Mulan walked back and forth at the door. The loom stopped, the loom stopped, and only the girl sighed. Ask the girl with such a sigh, what are you thinking? (Mulan answers) Girl, I didn't miss anything. I saw the conscription documents last night and learned that the king was recruiting a large number of soldiers. There are so many conscription documents, each with his father's name on it. My father has no adult son, and Mulan has no brother. I am willing to buy saddles and horses instead of my father from now on and apply for them.
Buy horses in the east market, saddles and cushions under saddles in the west market, chews and reins in the south market and whips in the north market. In the morning, I said goodbye to my parents and set off. In the evening, I camped by the Yellow River. I can't hear my parents calling for my daughter, but I can only hear the rushing of the Yellow River. In the morning, I bid farewell to the Yellow River and set off. In the evening, I arrived at Heishan Mountain. I can't hear my parents calling for my daughter, but I can only hear the chirping of Hu Bing's war horses in Yanshan.
March Wan Li to the battlefield, cross the pass, climb mountains and mountains, as fast as flying. In the cold wind in the north, there was the sound of fighting, and the cold moonlight reflected the soldiers' armored shirts. After countless battles, the soldiers won ten years later.
When he returned victorious, he appeared in front of the emperor, who was sitting in the palace. Mulan, who was awarded the title of meritorious service, was the highest and won more than a thousand gold. The son of heaven asked Mulan what she wanted. Mulan doesn't want to be an official like Shang. She wants to ride a good camel and send me back to my hometown with its feet.
Parents heard that their daughter was back and helped each other to meet her outside the city; When my sister heard that she was back, she dressed up in front of the door. My brother heard that my sister came back and was busy sharpening the knife and killing pigs and sheep. Open the door in the east of my boudoir, sit on the bed in the west of my boudoir, take off my shirt, put on my former girl's clothes, arrange my hair as soft as a dark cloud in front of the window, and stick a yellow flower on my forehead in front of the mirror. When I went out to meet my comrades, they were all surprised. They all said that we had traveled together for twelve years and didn't even know Mulan was a girl.
Male rabbits like to scratch their feet, while female rabbits always squint. When they run next to each other on the ground, how can they tell who is male and who is female?

1. Peach Blossom Garden (Tao Yuanming)
In the first year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a Wuling man who made a living by fishing. One day, he sailed along the river and forgot the distance. Suddenly I met a peach blossom forest. Peach trees grow on both sides of the river, and there are no other trees within a few hundred steps. The grass on the ground is bright and beautiful, and flowers are falling. The fisherman was very surprised. Further on, he wanted to go to the end of the forest and see what had happened.
Taolin stops at Heyuan, next to a hill with a small hole that seems a little bright. The fisherman put down the boat and got in through the hole. At first, the hole was very narrow and only one person could pass through. After dozens of steps, the front suddenly opened up. The land here is flat and open, with neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboo. The paths in the field crisscross, and you can hear the crowing of chickens and dogs in the village. There, people come and go, plow and work, and men and women dress exactly like people outside the Peach Blossom Garden. The old man and the child are full of joy and appear satisfied.
When people there saw the fisherman, they were all surprised and asked where the fisherman came from. The fisherman answered him in detail. The man invited the fisherman to his home. They said that in order to avoid the troubles of the Qin Dynasty, the ancestors led their wives, children and neighbors to this isolated place and never went out from here again, thus cutting off contact with outsiders. They asked what dynasty it was, but they didn't know there was a Han dynasty, let alone Wei and Jin dynasties. The man told them in detail what he had heard, and they all sighed and regretted it. The rest also invited the fisherman to their home, and all took out wine and rice to entertain him. The fisherman stayed here for a few days and then left. People here told him: "The situation here is not worth telling outsiders!"
After the fisherman came out, he found his boat and went back along the old road, marking everywhere along the way. Back in the county, I visited the satrap and reported the situation. The satrap immediately sent someone to follow him, looking for the mark he made last time, but he got lost and couldn't find his way again.
After hearing the news, Nanyang Liu Ziji, an aristocrat and celebrity, happily planned to go, but it didn't come true and soon died of illness. Since then, no one has asked for directions or visited.
2. Two short essays
I. Inscription in the Humble Room (Liu Yuxi)
The mountain doesn't have to be high, it's famous and immortal. The water doesn't have to be deep. For dragons, this is supernatural. Although this is a humble house, it's just that my personality is beautiful (so I don't feel humble). Moss is green, growing on the steps, and grass is green, reflected in the curtains. I talk and laugh with learned people, and there is no such thing as ignorant people. You can play simple guqin and read precious Buddhist scriptures. No loud music disturbs your ears, and no official documents make you physically and mentally exhausted. Just like Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage in Nanyang and Yang Ziyun's porch pavilion in West Shu. Confucius said, "What is so simple?"
Second, Ailian said (Zhou Dunyi)
There are many lovely grasses, trees and flowers on water and land. Tao Yuanming only loves chrysanthemums in Jin Dynasty. People all over the world have loved peonies since the Tang Dynasty. I only like lotus flowers. It grows from the sludge, but it is not polluted. It was washed with clear water, but it didn't look attractive. Its stem runs through the middle, straight, fragrant, more fragrant and upright. You can watch from a distance, but you can't play lightly.
In my opinion, chrysanthemum is a hermit in flowers; Peony is a precious flower; Lotus is a gentleman among flowers. Alas! Tao Yuanming seldom heard of this hobby of chrysanthemum after that. Who else likes lotus like me? Of course, there are many people who like peony.
3. The story of a nuclear-powered ship (Wei Xueyi)
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a very handy man named Wang Shuyuan, who could carve houses, utensils, figures, birds, animals, trees and stones from wood with a diameter of one inch. He didn't imitate the shapes of these things, didn't follow the original appearance of wood, and each one had its own shape. Wang Shuyuan once gave me a boat carved with peach stones. Originally carved is Su Dongpo's boat trip to Chibi.
The ship is more than eight minutes long from beginning to end, about two meters high. The high and open part in the middle is a hut covered with a canopy made of bamboo leaves. There is a small window next to it, four on the left, four on the right and eight on the left. Open the window, and the carved railings are opposite. Close the window, and see the inscription "The mountain is high and the moon is small, the truth is clear" on the right, and the inscription "The breeze is Xu Lai, the water is quiet" on the left. The inscription is drawn by azurite.
There are three people sitting in the bow. The man with a tall hat and many beards in the middle is Su Dongpo, with Fo Yin on his right and Lu Zhi on his left. Su Dongpo and Huang Lu Zhi look at a painting and calligraphy banner together. Su Dongpo's right hand holds the right end of the calligraphy and painting banner, and his left hand gently presses Lu Zhi's back. Lu Zhi left hand holding the end of the banner, right hand pointing to the calligraphy and painting banner, as if to say something. Su Dongpo showed his right foot, Huang Luzhi showed his left foot, each leaning slightly, and two knees close to each other were hidden in the folds under the banner of calligraphy and painting. Fo Yin is very much like Maitreya Buddha. He opened his heart, exposed his chest and looked up. His expression has nothing to do with Su Dongpo and Huang Luzhi. Fo Yin put his right knee flat, bent his right arm and supported it on the boat, and erected his left knee. His left arm leans against his left knee and hangs rosaries, which are clearly counted.
There is an oar at the stern. There is a boatman on the left and right sides of the paddle. The man on the right wears a cone-shaped bun, with his face up, his left hand leaning against a crossbar, and his right hand pulling the toes of his right limb, as if shouting. The boatman on the left holds a palm leaf fan in his right hand and touches the stove in his left hand. There is a pot on the stove. The man's eyes are looking at the tea stove with a calm look, as if listening to whether the tea is boiling.
The back of the ship is slightly flat and its name is engraved on it. Those words are "the apocalypse is in autumn, and the book of King Yushan has just been engraved". (handwriting) as small as a mosquito's foot, with clear hook, clear picture and black color. There is also a seal engraved with the words "Chu Pingshan people" and the color is red.
A total of five people were carved on a boat; Eight window carvings; A awning carved with leaves, paddles and stoves; Carve with a teapot, carve calligraphy and painting banners, and carve rosary; Couplets, titles and seal scripts are engraved with 34 words * * *. But counting its length, it's less than an inch. It was originally carved from a long and narrow peach stone. Gee, the technique is really clever and wonderful.
4. A trip to the Avenue (Book of Rites)
Those who practice the Tao, the world belongs to the people, select talented people (to serve all), and (all) stress honesty and advocate harmony. Therefore, people should not only support their parents, but also raise their children, so that the elderly can live their whole lives, the middle-aged can serve the society, and the young children can grow up smoothly, so that No Country for Old Men, No Country for Old Men, No Country for Old Men, No Country for Old Men, No Country for Old Men and No Country for Old Men can enjoy a smooth development. Men should have jobs and women should get married in time. (people) hate the phenomenon that wealth is abandoned on the ground (but collected and stored) instead of enjoying it alone; I hate the behavior of refusing to try my best in the same job and always not working for self-interest. In this way, no one will conspire, no one will steal property and make trouble, and (every household) will not have to close the door. This is the so-called "Datong" society.
6. Three Gorges (Li Daoyuan)
The Three Gorges is 700 miles, with mountains on both sides and almost no gaps. Layers of peaks and rocks cover the sky and block the sun. If there were no noon and midnight, we would not see the sun and the moon.
In summer, floods overflow the hills on both sides of the river, and the upper and lower sewers are cut off. Sometimes the emperor has an imperial decree, which must be conveyed quickly. He started from Baidicheng in the morning and arrived at Jiangling, which is 1200 miles away in the evening. Even if he rides a galloping horse and flies in the long wind, it's not that fast.
Spring and winter festivals, white rapids, dancing waves; The green pool reflects the mountains on both sides. On the extremely steep mountain peak, there are many cypresses and waterfalls with strange postures, where the water is clear and the trees are luxuriant, the mountains are steep and the green grass is abundant, which is really interesting.
In Chuqing after the rain or first frost Day, every morning, the Shan Ye in the forest is cold and bleak, and there are often apes singing in the heights, and the sound is continuous and abnormal. The echo echoed in the empty valley and it took a long time to disappear. So the fisherman sang: "The Wuxia Gorge of the Three Gorges in Badong is long, and the ape cries three times and tears his clothes."
7. Two short essays
First of all, thank you for the Chinese book (Tao Hongjing)
The beauty of mountains and rivers has been admired by literati since ancient times. Towering peaks soar into the clouds, and clear streams are crystal clear. The stone walls on both sides of the strait are colorful and complement each other. Lush trees and green bamboo last for four seasons. When the morning mist was about to dissipate, there were songs of apes and birds. When the sun is about to set, the fish swimming in the water are scrambling to jump out of the water. This is really a fairyland on earth. No one can enjoy the wonderful scenery of Lingyun in Kasper? during the Southern Dynasties.
Second, remember the night tour of Chengtian Temple (Su Shi)?
On the evening of 2006 10/2, I was about to undress and go to bed. When I saw the moonlight coming in, I set off happily. Thinking that there was no companion to play with me, I went to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin. Zhang Huaimin didn't sleep either, so (we) took a walk in the yard.
The ground of the courtyard is bathed in the clear and transparent moonlight like stagnant water. In "water", there are aquatic plants similar to algae and criss-crossing aquatic plants. It turned out to be the shadow of bamboo and cypress branches and leaves.
Which night is there no moon? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? It's just that there are very few "idle people" like the two of us.
8. Observe the tides (carefully)
Qiantang River Tide is a wonder in the world. The 16th to 18th (August) of the lunar calendar is the most prosperous. When the tide surges from the mouth of Zhejiang, it looks almost like a silvery white line. The tide is getting closer and closer, coming like a snowy mountain in Yucheng. The sound thundered, shaking the world, engulfing the universe and washing away the sun. The momentum is extremely majestic. Yang Wanli's poem "Silver in the sea is the country and jade in the river is the waist" describes such a scene.
Every year (in August of the lunar calendar), the governor of Lin 'an Prefecture in Kyoto comes to Zhejiang Pavilion to inspect the navy, and hundreds of warships are on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Then, five formations rehearsed, suddenly accelerating, jumping, separating, merging, and various changes. At the same time, there are people riding horses, dancing flags, raising guns and wielding knives on the water, as if stepping on the flat ground. Suddenly there was yellow smoke everywhere, and there were no people or things at all. There was a roar of water explosion, which sounded like a mountain collapsed. When the smoke cleared, the water surface was calm again, and there was no trace of a ship, leaving only the "enemy ship" destroyed by the fire, drifting with the tide.
Hundreds of Wuzhong athletes who are good at swimming, with long hair and embroidered flowers, are scrambling against the current and facing the tide with ten colorful flags in their hands. (Their figures) are floating and sinking in the high waves of Wan Ren, tossing their bodies and changing their postures, but the tail of the national flag is not wet at all. With this (performance), they showed their (superb) skills.
More than ten miles up and down the river bank are full of gorgeous costumes, and the roads are full of chariots and horses. Food and other things are twice as expensive as usual, and there are so many people renting sheds, even if there is a vacancy.
9. Look at the snow in the middle of the lake (Zhang Dai)
In December of the fifth year of Chongzhen, I lived in the West Lake. After three days of heavy snow, the voices of pedestrians and birds in the lake disappeared. After the early morning of this day, I rowed a boat, wore a leather coat and took a stove, and went to the lake pavilion to see the snow alone. The lake is full of ice flowers condensed by water vapor, and the sky and clouds, mountains and water are one integrated mass, and it is white. The (clear) shadow on the lake is only the trace of a long dike, the outline of a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and two or three figures on my boat.
When I arrived at the pavilion, I saw two people sitting opposite. They had already laid the felt. A boy is cooking wine in the wine stove. (They) were very happy to see me and said, "How can you meet such an (elegant) person in the lake!" Take me to drink with you. I drank three large glasses and said goodbye (to them). Ask them what their surnames are and learn that they are from Jinling and live here. After getting off the boat, the boatman muttered, "Don't say" xianggong "is stupid, there are people like you!"
