Generally speaking, "Li San" refers to three poets in the Tang Dynasty: Li Bai, Li He and Li Shangyin. In western parlance, they are all figures with laurels on their heads. The "Li San" I am talking about here is just the opposite of these three, not at the high end, but at the low end. They are foreigners living in my small village, beggars in the old society, and they don't even know their names. Everyone only uses their surnames, such as Dali, Zuili and Li Er.
Our small village is in the east of the canal between Beijing and Tianjin, which bends from west to east and then north. It's a winding street, but there are only forty or fifty families. However, it is only a mile away from the town, and there are shops where you can easily buy rice noodles and meat, until Mobil kerosene and Taibai ancient sugar. When I was very young, there was a man in the village who was said by fellow villagers to be very rich. First I went to the Japanese NCO School, then I joined the army and became a teacher of a miscellaneous army. As an official, he is powerful and rich. At that time, in addition to building a house, buying land and marrying a little wife, we also had to build an ancestral temple, cautiously pursuing the future and honoring our ancestors. So I sat in the west of the village and built a quadrangle-style ancestral hall from north to south. To the east of the ancestral temple is Guandi Temple. There is only one room where Guandi shares with Zhou Cang and Guan Ping. Compared with God, it seems that ghosts come from behind. The ancestral temple is only busy twice a year, but Tomb-Sweeping Day and New Year's Day are usually empty. I don't know if I want to use waste or because of a special opportunity. When I was in primary school, a group of foreigners lived in it, which was usually called "Hua Zi" at that time. There were five or six people in all, and of course, three others were impressed, all of them were Li.
In the old society, there were many people begging for a living, and there were many kinds. The highest is the so-called monks, including monks, nuns and Taoist priests. It is said that they can make the living blessed and the dead free from sin, so they have to receive special respect. They should call the teacher, send money and meals and call for support. In short, they don't belong to a group of beggars who are "famous" but not "real". They lived in the ancestral temple for several years, and suddenly a strange thing happened in the middle, which surprised the villagers.
