What is the original text of Xi Gong and Wang Xizhi Marrying a Daughter?

Original text:

It is said that Taifu was in Jingkou and sent a letter to the Prime Minister Wang to beg for a son-in-law. The Prime Minister sent a letter saying, "Pick any one in the East Wing." The door guest turned to Bai and said, "Both the Wangs and the Langs can respect them. When I heard that I was looking for a husband, I was salty and reserved. Only Ichiro is lying flat on the east bed, if you don't smell it. " Xi Gongyun: "Great!" It's easy to visit it because I married a woman.

Translation:

Let's talk about it. At Jingkou, a doorman was sent to the palace to personally write a letter and present it to the Prime Minister Wang, asking him to choose a husband. Prime Minister Wang read the letter and said to the generals, "Go to the east wing and choose whatever you want!" After seeing the East Wing, the janitor rushed back to Zhifu and said to the teacher, "All the sons of Prime Minister Wang are worthy of praise. I heard that I chose a son-in-law for you. I pretended to be extraordinary. There is only one young man lying on the bed in the east, with his abdomen exposed, as if I had never heard of it. " The teacher said, "This is the best son." Later, he was investigated and turned out to be Wang Xizhi, so he married his daughter.

Appreciate:

A western philosopher said, "I like people who are free in spirit and soul." Without a free mind, how can people appreciate the beauty of the world and the happiness of life? How can we engage in the most imaginative and pioneering life creation? Unfortunately, the secular world and the environment often force people to change this free and beautiful mind and put various spiritual shackles on themselves. As a result, people gradually lost their innocence and "self". Vanity and affectation are one of the common customs that erode people's free mind.

Wang Xizhi, who was praised by later generations as a "book saint", still maintained a frank and refined mind under the siege of secular vanity. There are many records about him in Shi Shuo Xin Yu, but the one that can best show his unique innocence is Dong Chuang Tan Abdomen.

Things seem to happen very suddenly-Chi Jian, a teacher who lives in Jingkou, finally worried about her daughter's lifelong event and wanted to choose a good husband among the sons and nephews of Prime Minister Wang Dao. Coincidentally, Prime Minister Wang is also a man of temperament. The beauty of reading a letter is that he sends a teacher's favorite pupil to the "East Room" to choose-this saves the red tape of paging children to meet guests in class, which is really refined! It's just that they ate the loss of Zhulang in the East Palace: they just heard the news that Taifu was looking for a husband. Who doesn't want this kind of luck to fall on themselves? It happened that they might as well change clothes, so they had to "compete" in appearance and tolerance. For this plot, the text only uses the words "smell it to find a husband, or be proud". Although the writing is too simple, "Zhulang" treats it with an open mind and has made some reservations, for fear of accidentally revealing the informal and laughing mode, which can be seen between the lines.

However, all this is a foil. The real protagonist of this article is Wang Shaoyi (Xizhi), who later shocked me with his exquisite calligraphy art. What is he doing at the moment when bamboo waves are contending for pity? It's incredible to say that he actually enjoyed lying on the "east bed" and even showed his rather ugly stomach! Such a presumptuous and informal attitude, in Chi Jian's "husband" list, I'm afraid I can only fall in Sun Shan. However, the development of things is also very strange: after listening to his favorite pupil's "Back to White", Dr. Xi said without hesitation: "Great!"

Concise, cadenced words, with the help of a teacher's protege's meaningful description, depict a wonderful portrait of Wang Xizhi's "lying on the couch"-a pure teenager who has never been eroded by secular manners and vanity, a handsome boy who is unwilling to give up his free personality for some utility (as a teacher's husband)! At first glance, his behavior seems shocking, however, it is the most touching proof that he has not lost his honest nature. When many people are bound by secular views, those who can keep this frankness and refinement are truly ambitious people, and only then can they have a free life and magnificent creation! This kind of life is beautiful, and it is also pursued by outstanding figures in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Its strongest response in people's minds is the three words that Dr. Xi blurted out-"It's just so good"!

About the author:

Liu Yiqing (AD 403-444) was born in Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu) in the Southern Dynasties, lived in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) and was a writer in the Southern Dynasties. The nephew of Emperor Wu of Song Wudi, the second son of Daofei in King Liu, Changsha, and Liu Daogui, the king of Linchuan, had no children, that is, Liu Yiqing was the heir, and Linchuan was awarded the post of Jingzhou secretariat. Liu Yiqing, the nephew of Emperor Wu of Song, is the best of these kings. He was known by Emperor Wu of Song at an early age and praised him as "this is my home, Fengcheng".

He is "pure in nature and lacks lust." Love literature, recruit people from all over the world, and get together under the door. Liu Yiqing, the imperial clan of Liu and Song Dynasties, was outstanding in talent since childhood. He is the author of Shi Shuo Xin Yu and You Ming Lu.

15-year-old Liu Yiqing rose to the top of the list. Among them, he served as secretary supervisor, in charge of books and works throughout the country, and had the opportunity to contact and exhibit royal classics, which laid a good foundation for the compilation of Shi Shuo Xin Yu.

17 years old, promoted to Zuo Assistant Minister of Shangshu (equivalent to former Deputy Prime Minister), is a very important minister. However, his uncle Liu Yu pioneered the practice of usurpation and killing, which made the royal family kill each other. Therefore, Liu Yiqing is also afraid of an accident. At the age of 29, he begged for a diversion and dismissed his servant. He once held official positions such as Jingzhou secretariat, and has been in politics for 8 years with good political achievements. Later, he served as Jiangzhou secretariat.

Shi Shuo Xin Yu, also known as Shi Yu and Shi Shuo Shu Xin, has different classifications. Because Liu Xiang wrote Shi Shuo in the Han Dynasty (the original book was lost), later generations distinguished this book from Liu Xiang's and renamed it Shi Shuo Shu Xin, which was renamed only after the Song Dynasty. According to its contents, Shi Shuo Xin Yu Yu Can is divided into 36 categories (first divided into upper, middle and lower volumes), such as virtue, speech, politics, literature and founder. There are several stories in each category. There are more than 1200 books in Book * * *, each of which has different lengths, some lines and some words.

Shi Shuo Xin Yu is an excellent historical material to study the romantic life in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Among them, there are vivid descriptions of the activities of celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties, such as beautiful speech, commenting on topics, and various personality characteristics, such as comfortable life, noble birth, simplicity and arrogance, pursuit of life and wide hobbies. Throughout the book, we can get the group image of several generations of scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Through these characters, we can further understand the fashion of the upper class in that era.

The characters in the book are all real people in history, but some of their remarks or stories are hearsay and do not conform to historical facts. This book has a considerable space and is a mixture of books. For example, the stories of individual characters in the Western Han Dynasty, such as Guizhen and Yuan Xian, were collected from Historical Records and Hanshu. Other parts are also collected from previous records.
