Books | Pu poverty will never be limited by your imagination

in this article is taken from "History of the temperature",authorized for publication.

When it comes to "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi", we always think of those foxfairy and ghost first. But behind this wonderful book known as the"King of Short Stories" in China is the story of the author's bumpylife.

If you want to describe the era when Pu Songling was born, four words areenough: born in troubled times.

Pu Songling was born in 1640. That year was the first four years of theMing Dynasty's demise. China has been plagued by years of famine andwar. The Ming Dynasty was beset by internal and external troubles.

From a big age to a small background, Pu Songling's family environment can bedescribed in four words: the family environment is average.

Pu Songling's hometown is now Pujiazhuang, Hongshan Town, Zichuan District,Zibo City, Shandong Province. It has long been the home and attraction ofcelebrities, but at the time it was just an ordinary small village.

Pu Songling's family has not had a good life since their father took theclass. Puban is also a scholar. He always wanted to be a successfulcandidate, but he failed to return to the list. He had no choice but to dosmall businesses and barely support his family. However, despite hisaverage exam skills, he is also a good teacher. He asked his four sons toread poems and books, study hard and have good academic results.

The most prominent one is Pu Songling.

However, unlike his brother, Pu, although he was also required to read thesebooks science test, is more interested in reading, "light readings,"especially novel: "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius""Mean."

It should be said, He is one of the most promising brothers-to gain fame, standout and add glory to the Pu family.

Pujiazhuang

Pu Songling is really a blockbuster.

At the age of 18, he went to Zichuan County for the first time and easily wonthe first place. After that, he went to Jinan and tried to win the firstplace. Pu Songling won first place in both competitions and is alreadywell known in the county. He then made up his mind to take the collegeexam-the equivalent of a provincial exam.

In the fifteen years of Shunzhi (1658), Pu Songling, who was only 18 years oldand qualified as a "newborn", sat at the table of the collegeentrance examination with determination, spread out the papers given by theexaminer, and the title was "the rise of fleas."

"Flea" means "get up early," and "flea" means"get up early." To quote "flea from a good person" inUniversity.

This story is about Qi people having one wife and one wife (this is also thesource of the idiom "Qi people's happiness"). He goes out early everyday and returns with wine and food. He and his wife and concubines saidthat he and Daguan nobles ate together every day. But his wife becamesuspicious, because she had never seen him take a nobleman home fordinner. One morning, the wife followed her husband and found out that hehad only stolen food and drinks from the cemetery and returned home. Afterhis wife went home, she and her sisters-in-law cried, and then rebuked herhusband who tried to continue pretending to come back.

According to the writing style of the eight-strand writing, the article shouldimitate Confucius and Mencius's tone in the order of "breaking thequestion", "supporting the question", and "opening" toexpress his views and understanding. The story of The Romance of the ThreeKingdoms is generally centered on the last sentence of Mencius: "From agentleman's point of view, if a person is pursuing wealth and wealth, then fewpeople can pass by not shame his wife and concubine. And cry to be elevated toa higher position "(from a gentleman's point of view, few people can bepromoted to a higher position by not shaming and crying his wife andconcubine!) Began the discussion.

But Pu Songling is not.

His first sentence, "Broken Topic", was:

"It is also a wise plan to get up early."

"Fan" also comes from "Journey to the West", which means"peep." The whole sentence means "(wife gets up so earlybecause she decides to peek."

Although strictly following the "off-topic" format of eight articles,this sentence caused suspense when it appeared, which can be called detectiveThe beginning of the novel-imagine, even now, if the first sentence of thebeginning of the novel is "I got up early today because I decided tofollow my husband", does it make people feel like reading it?
