Life is a long journey, along the way will enjoy a lot of beautiful scenery, but also meet a lot of strangers. As the saying goes, a hundred people are a hundred, a thousand people have a thousand faces. Some people are enthusiastic and generous, benevolent and charitable, some people are hypocritical, do not learn no skills, they are also like different scenery, let people feel inexhaustible.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a talented man who had a rough life and read countless people, although his talent was great, his life was difficult, and he often suffered from hunger and cold, which was unimaginable. Caizi wrote many poems in his lifetime, some of which were popular and superb; some of which were blurted out, but also worth pondering. The following two small poems of Zheng Banqiao are vivid and interesting, but they have profound meanings and are worth savoring.
Wing Crab Qing Dynasty: Zheng Banqiao Eight claws rampage in all four wilds, and the two-jaw dance is mighty, Knowing that there is nothing in the abdomen, he dipped ginger vinegar with wine and groaned.
Zheng Banqiao had served as a zhi county in Wei county, Shandong, and one day a messenger reported that the prefect was passing through Wei county. Zheng Banqiao did not dare to be idle, and hurriedly took people out of the city to greet him. When he came to the outside of the city, he looked far away, only to see the dust on the road, and the brigade of people and horses huddled forward and backward to protect a palanquin. Don't say that everyone knows that the prefect is slowly coming, so everyone sighs in unison, it is not majestic.
When the palanquin was getting closer, the poet took a look at it, and immediately ordered the messenger to beat the palanquin and return to the palanquin. Everyone felt inexplicable, but they could only do as the county order commanded. After returning, everyone looked at each other, but they didn't understand it, Zheng Banqiao twisted his beard in his hand, and sneered: "I only saw a car of silver, I didn't see anyone in the car!" ”
The big guy guessed in his heart, still didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd. The head of the class next to him knew the details, so he quietly said to the crowd: The prefect is from the donation class, and it is estimated that the money spent on buying officials is enough for everyone to carry a palanquin, but he does not have a little real talent in his stomach.
At this time, the prefect also came in on his toes, and the poet finished the ceremony and gave the other party to the seat. Although this adult was unhappy in his heart, he thought about it for a moment, a Seven Pin Zhi County is proud of himself, I am a hall prefect, how can I see it in general. So his heart was like Lu Xun's A Q, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
After some greetings, everyone was talking and laughing, and the messenger put on a banquet. When the adult saw someone serving a plate of river crabs, his heart moved, so he pointed at the river crab with chopsticks and said: "This thing runs rampant in the rivers, there is no one in sight, and it has long been heard that Zheng Da is very popular, why not take this thing as the title and chant a poem to help the wine rejoice?" ”
Zheng Banqiao knew its meaning, pondered slightly, and recited this poem. When the prefect heard the five words "there was nothing in the abdomen", he knew that the other party was laughing at himself, but because his literary talent was not as good as Zheng Banqiao, he felt that he had no place to be self-conscious, so he had to drink awkwardly, and then find an excuse to leave quickly, but the people around Zheng Banqiao could not help but laugh!
Yong kettle The tip of the mouth and the abdomen are high, and only when they have enough to feed themselves will howl. Laughing and unable to tolerate the big thing, two or three inches of water began to wave.
Zheng Banqiao did not want to go with the flow, and did not want to bend his waist for the sake of five buckets of rice, so he followed Tao Yuanming's resignation and left, but after that, his life was extremely hard. On the ninth cold day, he wore only a cotton coat, and there were many patches on the neckline and cuffs. In the event of a strong wind, he found a cloth belt to tie his waist, and finally felt a little warm.
The poet once came to the Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy Yamen Gate, two pawnbrokers, one fat and one thin, were basking in the sun in front of the door. They saw that someone was about to enter the door, and they hurried to shout at him to go farther. The poet saw their fierce and evil appearance, and knew that yama was good to see and the little devil was difficult, so he accompanied the smiling face and said that he had something to do and needed to see the adult. The other party saw the poet's poor and sour appearance and did not inform him at all.
The poet was about to get angry when the thin man came to the round field, and he told Zheng Banqiao that as long as you make a poem, you will be allowed to enter. Zheng Banqiao is angry and funny, and he doesn't want to entangle with them, so he lets the other party solve the problem.
The two pawnbrokers scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks, and the thin man suddenly saw that one of the kettle mouths in the room was breathing, so he moved at the opportunity, pointed to the kettle and said, "Let's take it as the title." When Zheng Banqiao saw it, he didn't feel funny in his heart, and after a little thought, he recited this poem.
The poet uses the metaphor of "the sharp mouth and the belly are too big and unbearable" to compare them to shallow ignorance and arbitrariness. As the poet spoke, he pointed out, as if referring to the kettle on the brazier rack, and as if to two pawnbrokers. The other party pondered for half a day before realizing that the poet was laughing at himself.
At this time, the salt transport envoy heard the noise outside the door, came out to take a look, but recognized that it was Zheng Banqiao, and quickly invited him to sit in. When the two errand boys inquired, they learned that what they had just blocked was Zheng Dacaizi, one of the eight monsters of Yangzhou, and they couldn't help but be surprised, although it was the middle of the ninth winter, both of them were frightened and sweaty. So the poet would rather indulge in the landscape than be with it!
These two small poems of Zheng Banqiao are witty and interesting, but they have profound meanings and are worth savoring. As the saying goes, people cannot be disguised, and the sea is incomparable. We should not bully others in dealing with the world, but we should have real talent and practical learning, otherwise sooner or later we will laugh and be generous.
