Yang Xiu's anecdotes and allusions.

Liu Yiqing's Shi Shuo Xin Yu, the original text is: "Wei Wu tasted Cao E tablet, and Yang Xiu followed it. On the back of the monument, I saw the inscription' Yellow silk young woman, grandson (jρ) mortar (Jiμ)'. Wei Wu said, "Can you explain? A: A few words of "thanks", the case "The Story of the Later Han Dynasty": "In the first year of Yuanjia, the county was still long, and Wu was buried next to Jiangnan Road to erect a monument." The inscription on Cao E's tablet reads "Written by Han Danchun, a disciple of Shangzi Boping, the magistrate of Shangyu County". Shangyu, county name, twenty-five years after Qin Shihuang, Guli Huiji County. So this monument is in Huiji, and according to the "Shangyu County Records" published in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, "Cao 'e Temple was originally located on the west bank of Cao 'e River, and was old in Jiangdong, which belonged to Shangyu, but was destroyed by wind and rain and moved here, so it was moved to Huiji", so this monument is in Shangyu, Shaoxing, and Cao Cao has never been to Jiangnan in his life, so it can be clearly inferred that this matter is purely fiction. Perhaps Luo Guanzhong also found this problem, so in his Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he turned it into Cao Cao's hometown in Cai Wenji, where he passed Lantian, and saw the extension of the inscription, which covered up this obvious flaw, which was well-intentioned. Besides, the stone tablet of Cao E still exists, and I have seen it. However, by the first year of Han Yuanjia (A.D. 15 1), the stone tablet standing in Shangyu County had long been lost. Later, in the second year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (A.D. 358), Wang Xizhi also went to the temple to write Cao E tablet, the words on which were engraved by Wu Maoxian of Xin 'an. The silk book of this monument is now in the Liaoning Museum, with inscriptions by Xu Seng, Man Qian, Huai Chong and others in the Liang Dynasty, as well as those by Han Yu and Song Gaozong. The existing Cao E Monument was reprinted by Wang Anshi's son-in-law Cai Bian in the eighth year of Song and Yuan Dynasties (A.D. 1093). This monument is 2.3m high and 1 m wide. It's regular script, vigorous and smooth. It occupies a high position in the history of calligraphy in China, and it is precious because it has lasted for thousands of years.

Wei Wu tasted Cao E's tablet computer, and Yang Xiu learned a lesson from it. On the back of the tablet is the words "yellow silk young woman, eldest grandson (jο) mortar". Wei Wu said to Xiu, "Can you solve it?" A: "Solution." Wei Wu said, "You have nothing to say. Let me think about it. " After walking three miles, Wei Wu said, "I found it." Tell Hugh not to remember what he knows. Show said, "yellow silk, colored silk, is the word" unique ". Young women, as well as girls, use the word' wonderful'. Sun Tzu, a woman, is also on the word' goodness'. Wine, also from Xin, is in the word' qi', and the so-called' wonderful spirit' is also. " Wei Wu also remembers it, which is the same as Xiutong. But he sighed, "I just didn't see it clearly, but I felt thirty miles away."

Wang Wei Cao Cao once passed under the Cao E Monument, and Yang Xiu followed him. I saw the words "yellow silk young woman, grandson mortar" written on the back of the tablet. Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu, "Do you know what this means?" Yang Xiu replied, "Yes." Cao Cao said, "Don't say it yet, let me think about it." After walking thirty miles, Cao Cao said, "I've figured it out." He asked Yang Xiu to write down his understanding. Yang Xiu wrote: "Yellow silk is colored silk, which is combined into a' unique' word; A young woman means a girl, and the girl synthesizes a' wonderful' word; The grandson is the daughter's son, and the woman synthesizes a word' good'; Mortar is a hard thing to bear. After hard work, I synthesized a word' word' (qi): this is the' wonderful word'. " Cao Cao also wrote down his own understanding, and the result was the same as that of Yang Xiu, so he sighed and said, "My talent can't catch up with you, and I thought about it for three miles." Yang Dezu is Wei Wu's main book. When he became foreign minister, he began to construct Cu and Jué. From the outside, people wrote the word "live". Then go. Yang Jian, no matter how bad it is. In fact, the word "live" he said is the same as the word "broad" in "door". Wang Zheng thinks the door is too big. "

Yang Dezu (Yang Xiu) was appointed as the master book of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei. At that time, he was building the gate of Guo Xiang Building. As soon as the rafters were built, Cao Cao personally came to inspect them. After reading it, I had someone write the word "live" on the door and left. When Yang Xiu saw it, he immediately pulled down the door. When it was completed, he said, "Add a word" live "to the door, which means" wide ". Wang Wei is just too big. " People paid Wei Wu a glass of cheese, and Wei Wu vomited a little. They covered their heads with the word "he" to show the public that they could not understand. The next time I went to Yang Xiu, I spat in the toilet and said, "What is there to doubt?"

Someone gave a glass of cheese to Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei. Cao Cao ate a little and wrote the word "He" on the lid for everyone to see. No one can understand what this means. When it arrived at Yangxiu in sequence, Yang Xiu took a bite and said, "Cao Gong taught us to have a bite each. What is there to hesitate about? "
