"Forget sichuan mulberry. Half light and half shadow. What do you mean? What's the point?

This sentence comes from the feeling that Xiaoyu's friend was rescued after drowning. Forgetting Sichuan refers to the grave, and Sang Zi refers to the hometown. Here should refer to the two realms of life and death respectively. Because Ziwuyu is telling the story of a monster, this sentence should be to express that the distance between man and demon is getting closer and closer, and the light rain is between the monster and man, half light and half shadow.

"Forgetfulness, mulberry. Half light and half shadow. " Ziwuyu, a collection of short stories by Yuan Mei in Qing Dynasty.

Extended data:

There are 24 volumes of Meridian Jade, 10 volumes of the Jade Language of Xunzi, and 34 volumes of * * *, and more than 1,200 short stories are collected. Yuan Mei's first sentence in Zi Wu Yu Xu is: "Strange, strong, chaotic, divine and silent." This is actually a comment on the title of the book, that is, the author is saying "weird, brave, rebellious, ghosts and gods."

Woods is full of bizarre stories about reincarnation, ghosts killing them and ghosts acting like ghosts. All kinds of images of gods and ghosts can be seen everywhere, and there are few stories about town gods, land, ghosts, slaves, etc., which do not involve ghosts and gods at all, and more advocate the superstitious thought of "karma" and fatalism. It is with these images and grotesque stories that Yuan Mei shows readers a complete underworld society.

Most of the stories in Meridian Liuzhu are magical things about ghosts, especially ghost stories. Most of these stories should promote the idea of karma, punishing evil and promoting good. For example, the story "Watching Cause and Effect" is seen through the eyes of a scholar: the flower seller Wang had a dispute with the dung picker and mistakenly pushed the dung picker, causing the dung picker to stumble and fall to death; 16 years later, the dung picker was reincarnated as Li's son and threw stones by mistake, causing Wang to stumble and die. Death in the same place and in the same way can really be described as "no fault". This story looks really ridiculous.

Another example is "Mountain of Yin and Yang", which combines a person's good and evil in the dead with rewards and punishments in the underworld: "Those who are frank and open will see that this road is feasible; Those who take advantage of it and resort to deceit will throw thorns at themselves and suffer from it. " The evil in the Yang world must be "Yin and Yang fire to eliminate evil, followed by Feng Gang to raise its dross, which will cause insects when it falls on the mountain, and fish and shrimp when people are in the water". People who do good, "the road is easy." Similar absurd stories occupy a large proportion in Yu Woods. This story of what goes around comes around, punishing evil and promoting good, although objectively has the function of persuading people to be good and purifying social atmosphere, promotes feudal superstition, and today's readers should pay full attention to it.
