In the 24th year of Jian 'an in Han Dynasty (AD 2 19), Cao Cao was stationed in Banggukou, Hanzhong to manage state affairs. When he saw the river running down, he marked the word "Xue Kun" on the stone, and his entourage reminded him that "Kun is short of water".
Cao Cao clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Is a river short of water?" It has become a beautiful talk through the ages. Later, it was carved on a boulder in the river and has been passed down to this day.
Extended data:
"rolling snow" original stone
The original stone with the words "Rolling Snow" was written by Cao Mengde on a boulder in the river below the dam of Shimen Reservoir. A piece next to the plank road at Shimenkou was re-carved by later generations according to the Zhongyuan dialect in the river to protect this peerless book. At the beginning of the construction of Shimen Reservoir, Hanzhong Museum specially sent masons to completely carve the word "Xue Kun" on the boulder in the river and transport it to Hanzhong Museum for preservation.
At that time, another boulder in the river had the word "jade basin", which was all chiseled and transported to Hanbo, and all the cliff stone carvings in front of Shimen, such as "ode to Shimen", Shimen inscription and Dakaitong, were demolished to avoid being flooded. This was undoubtedly a good thing under the special historical conditions at that time.
The model of "Yecheng Santai" returned from Japan, and the Three Kingdoms Exhibition ended successfully.
On April/0/day, 2065438, more than 30 pieces (groups) of cultural relics of the Three Kingdoms, carefully selected by Chinese and Japanese experts, gathered in the Henan Provincial Museum, such as the rare original of "Rolling Snow" by Cao Cao, Cao Song, the father of Cao Cao, dressed in "silver jade clothes" and the leading stone component of Qingtongquetai, and other China countries.
According to the organizer, the 1 17 (group) exhibits exhibited this time were carefully selected from thousands of collections of more than 30 museums in 10 provinces and cities by experts from China and Japan who visited more than 70 sites and museums related to the three countries in China for three years. Among them, there are more than 52 pieces (groups) of national first-class cultural relics, including the rubbings of "Xue Kun" recognized as Cao Cao's suicide note, the silver carved jade clothes and painted pottery talking and dancing figurines unearthed in Anhui, as well as exquisite handicrafts such as cash cow, stone to ward off evil spirits and bronze chariots and horses.
The wild waves flowed by the stone edge, and there was nothing beside the word "Kun". Cao Cao asked the true meaning of "Xue Kun"
In the 20th year of Jian 'an (AD 2 15), Cao Cao made a westward expedition from Zhang Lu to Hanzhong. When he passed the stone gate on the plank road, he saw the river hitting the stone and splashing the rolling snow waves, which made him deeply moved. He immediately wrote down the word "autumn snow" to remind Cao Cao that the word "autumn" was missing three points, but Cao Cao was joking. Therefore, later generations compiled this story into a jingle: "Wild waves and huge waves flow along the stone, so you don't have to point to it next to the word' Yi'."
What is the real intention of Cao Cao's inscription "Autumn Snow"? According to Zhou Li Chun Guan Sifu and Yi Lee Li Jing, the word "Yi" means "Yi Yi", "Yi Guan" and "Yi Long Pao", while "Yi Yi" and "Yi Long Pao" mean "Yi Yi" and the word "snow" symbolizes nobility and purity.
Therefore, the word "rolling snow" is the embodiment of Cao Cao's domineering and lofty prestige. This kind of artistic conception and mentality can only be understood outside words, so Cao Cao wrote the word "rolling snow" without forgetting the word "rolling snow" and wrote it as "rolling snow" Unfortunately, no one understood it at that time, but thought that Cao Cao wrote the scenery with scenery, ignoring the true intention of Cao Cao's inner world.
If you look closely at the word "Xue Kun", you are bold and unrestrained with your pen, and there is indeed a trend of stormy waves. The word "Xue Kun" is round and smooth, like a needle hidden in cotton wool, which is a wonderful work of calligraphy.
