    [1] "Two Poems of Qujiang - Part 1" by Du Fu. Poem

    A piece of flower flies to reduce spring,

    The wind blows thousands of points and worries about people;

    Let's see the fascination through the eyes,

    Don't get tired of getting too much wine into your lips.

    The small hall nest on the river emerald,

    Lying Qilin on the high mound at the edge of the garden [1];

    ?Physics should be enjoyed in detail,

    Why use a false name to trip this body.

    Liu Hao heard the commotion outside, thought it was refugees making noise, and didn't realize it.

    Thinking of the sweet date between Wan Zhedu and Yu Meipan in the cubicle of the Dizang Temple yesterday, I couldn't help but think of my sweetheart.

    A gust of wind blew by, and a few petals fell, making her feel that the color of spring was gone.  Let's watch the falling flowers fly by before my eyes, and I am no longer tired of drinking too much wine.

    The emerald birds make their nests on the towers on the Qujiang River, and the formerly majestic Shi Qilin is now lying on the ground.  Thinking about the passing of time, you really should take advantage of the good time to fall in love to the fullest, why bother to let the vain glory of being equal to each other bind your heart?

    Suddenly, Ruyan broke into the door and shouted: "Good sister, Mrs. Wang told you to go downstairs immediately!"

    Liu Haohao feels that something is wrong with Ruyan today, why is she so panicked, maybe this little girl has done something wrong again, she is a little bit guilty!  Then he laughed and said, "What trouble have you caused again? Just tell me, can I eat you up?"

    "Sister, a group of robbers came outside the door, and they want to rob Yu Meipan to become Mrs. Yazhai. The specific situation will be understood after meeting Master Wang. Go, go, go!"

    Seeing that Ruyan was so anxious, Liu Haohao couldn't bear it, thinking not to make the little girl anxious, said: "Ruyan, don't panic about such a trivial matter!"

    "Small things? The old lady won't tell Yu Meipan, for fear that she will be scared to death" Ruyan said while grabbing Liu Haohao's sleeve, dragging her away.

    Liu Haohao usually walks gracefully and gracefully, and her toes are not allowed to show beyond her skirt.  Now being dragged downstairs by Ruyan, walking quickly, how can the three-inch golden lotus bear it?  Repeatedly said: "Slow down Ruyan, slow down Ruyan!"

    Yu Meipan, who was next door, heard the commotion in the verandah, and came out to ask, "Good lady, what's the matter?"

    Liu Haohao comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, a group of refugees are causing trouble, Mr. Wang asked me to write a memorial to reflect the situation You stay in the house and don't go out!"

    Yu Meipan responded, "Got it, got it."

    Liu Haohao was dragged and dragged by Ruyan to Wang Shouchang's residence.

    Hearing a lot of crying inside, he knew that something serious happened, so he lifted the skirt and stepped into the room. She wanted to comfort the old lady first, and said: "Madam Yu, don't cry, let alone be afraid  " Seeing that the old woman was so old, crying like a helpless child, my own tears flowed down involuntarily.

    Liu asked Ruyan to take care of the old lady, and then came to Wang Shouchang and asked, "My lord, what happened?"

    Wang Shouchang said: "First, Timur led five thousand grass bandits to rob Miss Yu and go back to be Mrs. Yazhai These inhuman guys, who have no loyalty to the country and family, plunder the people recklessly, and now they are coming to burn this building.  The Pujiu Temple, built like a heavenly palace, is really lawless!"

    The old lady burst into tears and shouted: "Son, my poor son!"

    Liu Haohao asked: "Is it possible to transfer the soldiers from Shaanxi to encircle and suppress?"

    "We definitely won't be able to get out of people! Besides, even if half a person rushes out at the risk of death, I'm afraid we won't be able to mobilize soldiers."

    "Why is this?"

    "One, now all the yamen in Shaanxi are doing disaster relief, and they can't take care of the bandit suppression at all; the other thing is that Timur was the doctor of the imperial historian in Shaanxi back then, and he has a lot of connections. Why didn't he stop the bandits after several times?  What? I am afraid that Timur has private deals with the local government, the so-called 'well water does not violate river water'"

    [2] "Nine Poems Before Leaving the Fortress. The Sixth" by Du Fu. Poems

    Draw a bow when it is strong, and use an arrow when it is long;

    When shooting a man, shoot a horse first, and when capturing a thief, first capture the king.

    ? Killing is also limited, all countries have their own borders;

    If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more.

    At this moment, the little monk Wuchen was out of breath, rushed in from the outside, and gasping, said: "Report to Master, it's not good! The robber said, if you don't sacrifice Miss Yu, you will be killed soon."  Set fire to the monastery! Master, hurry up and find a way!"

    Elder Ming became even more anxious when he heard the report. Now the fire is almost burning to his eyebrows.tidy.  So he turned to Wang Shouchang and said, "Envoy Wang, come up with a clever plan and save the temple!"

    Wang Shouchang said: "Elder, I am old and ignorant, I have no idea."

    Liu Haohao said: "Elder Ming, don't worry! Master Wang has ten guards here, all of them are brave and good at fighting. I don't know how many monks there are in the monastery, plus the people who took refuge, there will be two thousand people, can we fight for it?"  He fights?"

    "There are more than 300 monks in the temple, but they are all Buddhist practitioners, not warrior monks. The fleeing people are so hungry that they can't stand up. How can they fight? If they have the ability to kill thieves, they can't fight.  I will not flee to Pujiu Temple to take refuge."

    Liu found a stool and sat down to meditate.

    Everyone looked at her, hoping that she would find a way.

    At this time, there was the sound of the robbers outside the temple shouting to kill again, which was really frightening.

    I saw Fakong, who was watching through the crack of the mountain gate, rush in again, and said: "Report to Master, the robber said that if you don't sacrifice the young lady, you will attack the mountain gate, so come in!"

    Liu Ruyan was in a hurry, and cursed: "You monk, you only know to come in to remind you, don't you see that everyone is trying to find a way? You won't resist for a while? You won't take a bow and arrow and kill that barking dog  , shot an arrow into his mouth, to see if he still screams"

    Fakong said wronged: "How can we have bows and arrows here? Have your guards brought them? Give me one, I really want to kill!"

    "Fakong, don't be rude! Amitabha."

    Silence, another silence.

    Just listen to Liu Haohao talking to himself: "Shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first."

    Everyone looked at her again.

    Notes

    [1] Kirin

    Kylin refers to the traditional Chinese auspicious animal.

    The ancients believed that wherever the kylin haunts, there must be auspiciousness.  Sometimes it is used as a metaphor for a person with outstanding ability and both ability and political integrity.  "Book of Rites. Li Yun Ninth": "The lin, phoenix, tortoise, and dragon are called the four spirits." It can be seen that the status of the unicorn is at least equal to that of the dragon, not lower than that of the dragon.

    But Qilin is also the grandson of Yinglong. "Huainanzi. Terrain Training": "The hairy calf gave birth to Yinglong, Yinglong gave birth to Jianma, Jianma gave birth to Qilin, Qilin gave birth to common beasts, and those with ordinary hair were born to common beasts.  "

    (1) Historical origin

    The ancients called the male Qi and the female Lin. "Book of Song": Qilin is a benevolent beast.  The male is called Qi, and the female is called Lin.  Kirin is an auspicious god's pet, which is associated with peace and longevity; because of its profound cultural connotation, kylin is made into various ornaments and ornaments in traditional Chinese folk etiquette for wearing and placing in the home, with the intention of praying for blessings and blessings.

    (2) Appearance and demeanor

    Judging from its external shape, it is a combination of lion head, antlers, tiger eyes, elk body, dragon scales, and oxtail.  But it is said that Qilin's body is like a musk deer, and it was regarded as a god by the ancients.

    Kylin is a deity that the ancients believed existed.  Among the many folklore in China, although there are not many stories about the unicorn, its unique preciousness and spirituality are truly reflected everywhere in people's lives.

    (3) The meaning of the auspicious beast

    There is a Chinese folk saying that unicorns send children. Another image of unicorns is a dragon head, a horse body, and dragon scales.  The tail hair stretches like a dragon's tail.  Its comprehensive aspects are not as extensive as that of dragon and phoenix, but its reputation is not too small.

    Kylin is the auspicious animal that Chinese people most hope to appear, and their appearance represents the happiness of a generation.  Therefore, people hope that Kirin will always be with them, bring them luck and light, and get rid of bad luck.  When this belief in ancient times was passed down, the auspicious meaning of the unicorn was recognized by the general public and firmly existed in people's consciousness. The unicorn became a symbol of a certain idea, a certain kind of  The expression of artistic conception, the display of a certain power, and inspire people's imagination, guide people's spirit to match a certain idea, enter a specific state, give people hope, comfort and some power of pursuit, and melt into folk life  Among them, it is manifested in all aspects of national culture.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
