Late Ming scribes loved to rub rice

author:Tan Ye Shi

Of course, the scribes have dark-skinned people, but on the whole, the group personality of this class is not very fond of eating the food that comes from the mouth, the scribes have a keen mind, their shame is stronger than others, most of them would rather starve to death, and they do not eat Zhou Su, but the late Ming seems to be an exception, they love to party, they love to go to the rich man's house to eat and drink for free, the eater is majestic, let go of the belly and eat, the eater laughs and giggles, and expands the guests of the Ding Pot Feast, as if it is a bustling world of communist and common food.

Zhu Chengcai Khan, a descendant of Emperor Mingzong, made money, the family had money, but did not save privately, every three to five, called scribes, led prostitutes, to his home to sip a meal, in the middle of the Autumn Festival, held a big party, invited Zhang Xianyi of Nanjing and more than one hundred and twenty other shizi whales to drink from the sea, and even called more than forty prostitutes such as Ma Xianglan to accompany the wine. There is a person with a golden luan, who originally held a wedding feast at home and married his daughter-in-law, but did not sit at home, but came here to rub rice, people asked why, he said, eat at home, where there is rubbing rice with everyone to eat with the taste. www.lsqn.cn all night, set up flowing water mats, thousands of miles of feasting tents, can set a few days to count a few days, the song of the song, the dance of the dance, the poetry of the poem, the painting of the painting, nothing, the donkey shouts twice, howls two voices, "Salty phase for the ink, the string song, the cultivation of the face, the feast set, if the hope of the son to go to the lock courtyard." ”

There is Wang Bochou, who has passed the examination once, did not win, has not been killed since then, and has not re-read, just written poetry, just mixed with the liquor bureau, every party, whether there is an invitation to him or not, he will bring a mouth, and then bring a pair of belly, eat and drink in the mountains, the family can not see the shadow of people in January and a few months, and then how to issue a notice "Wang Bochou, your mother called you back to dinner", and could not shout back.

This Wang Bochou, who looks like a table of talents, Slaughter dragon said that he is eight feet long, talented, the family property is not much, but there are also thin fields and hundreds of acres, self-sufficiency can also get by, but he often does not take any points, to eat at other people's homes, to eat, not to say a song, not to say a poem, at least to sing a lotus flower fall, this Wang Bochou is just bored to eat. Other people's families marry their daughters-in-law to make happy wine, other people's families have a full life to make three dynasties of wine, or what red and white joy is not, but when it comes to the time of the meal, acquaintances are also, raw people are also, this Wang Bocong does not say a word, from the table to the table, once on the table, they are all a strong index finger movement, only to hear his throat rattling, after eating, chopsticks thrown, gone, from beginning to end, did not hear him squeak. Wang Bochou made a poem about the phoenix, which should be a self-metaphor: "There is a phoenix outside the sky, wandering independently." Thirsty to drink the pulp, hungry to eat Kunlunzhi. The singing of the trees is red, and the music is returned to the sky. The whole world can see it, and the birds dare to guess. "Neither the pulp nor The Kunlun Zhi belong to him, he drinks when he is thirsty, and he eats when he is hungry, so he does this kind of pie, and other dynasties are really rare in the world." Why did the late Ming have him? Birds of Prey Dare to Guess? We can't guess why.

There are really many late Ming dynasty kings and uncles, they neither participate in the imperial examination, go into the system to seek a living, nor do they follow the budding of the late Ming bourgeoisie to go to the sea to do things, or wander among the gentry, or run to the homes of rich lords, or write poems and sell paintings, make a few small money, drink a few literary friends and poets, and have a meal to eat, such as Wu Kuo's character is not low, and the poetry name is also known in the world, but "travels to the gentry in cloth, wears a white scarf, and spits like a bell." "Not at all because of the short mouth of the eater, deliberately flattering the rich man and the gentleman, after eating, there is no shame, but it is a pretentious argument," Hua Chenyue Xi, the poetry wine club, the guests and friends talk about the banquet, the sound prostitute will gather. ”

Lin Chunxiu during the Wanli period was a freelance writer, and also had a slight poetry name, but the family was surrounded by disciples, a poor poet, but he loved to drink to death, and if he didn't get that wine for a day, he couldn't get by for a day, so what to do? He went to rub wine to drink, he had a friend named Zheng Duo, the family situation can be, he went there every day to drink, drunk, drunk on the mad, a crazy scolding, scolding people, scolding friends, even Zheng Duo, who gave him wine to drink, is not angry, every day to give him wine, but also made a wine glass for him, engraved "Yunbo", Lin's number Yunbo, think it is dedicated, "his friend Zheng Duo, Doliang, day and drink, drunk and crazy." Duo du his drinkers, in order to make a pot, engraved the word 'cloud wave'. Thirty years as a day. ”

How lin Chunxiu is also a literati, regardless of his own face, going to other people's homes to drink and eat, is a strange, but what is even more strange is this Zheng Duo, who loses wine to him to drink, Yiqi; loses his wine and scolds him, erqi; strange and strange, actually thirty years as a day, to accompany the literati Lin Chunxiu, no complaints, no regrets, generosity and no demand, who has such a measure? Liu Bang went to his sister-in-law's house to eat a few more meals, and his sister-in-law scraped the pot to the point of loud anger, and his heart was full of resentment, how is it that he is also a family, Zheng Duo and Lin Chunxiu, no relatives and no reason, no desire for him, but so much respect, it is really rare.

In the late Ming Dynasty, between the literati and the rich, between the Han and the gentry, there was a different harmony from that of other dynasties. Late Ming capitalism has sprouted, "that is, the home of valve reading, not afraid of Jia", Mao Jin, who is famous for his engraving industry and bibliophiles in the late Ming Dynasty, is both a scribe and a bookseller, and the famous literary scholar Feng Menglong is also a businessman. They made some money, were kind to the rich, were willing to share with the literati, the merchants raised scribes, the scribes also loved the merchants, and in the late Ming Dynasty, the merchant's status was higher than his dynasty, and the literati raised it. Wang Shouren [Note: Wang Shouren (1472-1529), Han Chinese, from Yuyao, Zhejiang. The character Bo'an, the number Of Yang Mingzi, is known as Mr. Yang Ming, so it is also called Wang Yang Ming. The most famous chinese thinker, philosopher, writer and military figure of the Ming Dynasty. He is glad to "speak for the rich": "Soldiers are cultivated, farmers are nourished, workers are sharp tools, and merchants are currency." Juxtaposing rich people, scholars, farmers, and entrepreneurs, with no high or low value, is called "four peoples in different industries." Literati do not despise the rich, and the rich also value scribes, and it is not a matter of eating a meal. In general, arrogance is often triggered by contempt. The literati were full of pride, mostly because others looked down on him, "Oh, come and eat!" "The tone is so disrespectful, who eats your bowl of rice?"

The Ming bureaucracy did not look up to the literati, Zhu Yuanzhang [Note: Emperor Taizugao of the Ming Dynasty (21 October 1328 – 24 June 1398) was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, surnamed Zhu, Zhen Yuanzhang, and Han Chinese. He was the second monarch of commoner origin after Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao. In a sense, the state does not raise soldiers, so the people borrow this gap to raise soldiers. In this way, the late Ming Dynasty literati liked to rub rice, not because the literati had no way to give birth, or because the people took over the responsibility of the state, forming a new style of folk nurturing. Li Yu, who entered the Qing Dynasty from the Ming Dynasty, often took his family everywhere to fight the autumn wind, asked people for money to eat, his face was never red or ashamed, we often did not understand this, often laughed and ridiculed each other, in fact, this is most likely caused by the legacy of the late Ming Dynasty; in the early Qing Dynasty, another big man, Jin Shengsi, went to Wang Xueshan's house to get a thousand pieces of silver, said it was borrowed earlier, said that it was borrowed, said that it was returned after borrowing, Jin Shengsi promised to be good, but also robbed others of a meal, "Mr. Promise, Fu Yueyue, has been squandered, it is the language of the mountain: 'This thing is in the Jun's family, In the name of the scrooge, I have been sent by the king. Shuyama laughed. ”

A lot of gold, just a laugh? It is hard to imagine that he inherited the legacy of the late Ming dynasty folk cultivators.
