Liu Yuxi served as an official to supervise the imperial history, but was later degraded many times for following Wang Shuwen to participate in the "Yongzhen Reform", which is known in history as the "Second King and Eight Sima Incident". After Liu Yuxi was demoted, he served as a magistrate for more than twenty years. The Buried Chamber Ming is a small essay he wrote when he was in Hezhou (present-day Hexian County, Anhui).

"Buried Room Ming" is not only wonderful in the whole article, but the famous sentences in it not only added glory to the article at that time, but even today, it is still deeply praised by people, and the frequency of citations in later articles is high enough to be breathtaking.

"Buried Room Inscription", Buried Room Of Inscription also. The Burrower, ugly, not ugly, and see how the author tells it in a short text? And why has it become a famous article throughout the ages?

At the beginning of the article, the words are amazing, "The mountain is not high, but the immortal is named." The water is not deep, there are dragons and spirits. "Whether a mountain is famous or not has little to do with its height, but with whether there are immortals living on it." Whether the water has aura or not depends not on the depth of the water, but on whether there is a dragon diving under it.

Interior view

The magic of this exquisite metaphor of language has become a famous sentence for thousands of years that has been sought after by posterity since its birth. As soon as the brilliant pen of this life came out, the literati of later generations flocked to cite it, and countless of them also came out.

At the beginning of the chapter, the landscape is set up as a metaphor for Bixing, pointing out the main theme of the whole article: those who have virtue live in it, and the burrow is not ugly.

Specifically, what is a burrow that is not ugly?

The view from the interior is not ugly either. "The moss marks are green, and the grass is green." Moss crawled up the front steps as if an exquisite green carpet had been laid over it. The grass color penetrates the curtain, reflecting the verdant green of the room. Quiet and elegant chic place, why ugly?

The people who come and go in the room are not ugly either. "There is a great deal of humor in talking and laughing, and there is no white ding in the exchanges." Everyday travelers, celebrities also. Frequent contacts, erudite Confucian also. Good speech, extraordinary conversation, not mediocre and other idle people also. What's so ugly?

What did the people in the room do? "You can tune the piano and read the Golden Scriptures." "Tune" people, calm and flowing also. "Vegetarian", elegant and unconventional also. "Qin" person, Yawu also. "Gold" people, noble also.

And "no silk bamboo chaotic ears, no case of labor." "The 'chaotic', the noisy bureaucracy of the world." Laborers", the fatigue of the multitude of official documents and political affairs. "None", Yukiya, Yukiya. So, why is it ugly?

In history, how many handsome and talented people, and how many literati rioters, have not encountered the experience of a bumpy life with a bad career? When they were demoted from Beijing to an official place, they inevitably showed a bitter mood. This is the natural principle of human nature.

Fan Zhongyan wrote "The Record of Yueyang Lou", and Ouyang Xiu wrote "The Record of drunken Pavilion", which is no different. They appear to be emotionally stable and calm, but in fact they are not. On the one hand, it is because they are broad-minded and open-minded, and at the same time, it also reflects their "attainment is to help the world, and the poor are good at their own." "Literati sentiments.

Although they have been belittled and sad in their hearts, they have not sunk, they are not pessimistic about the future and despair about the future, they are still full of confidence and hope.

Liu Yuxi, of course, was no exception, and then wrote: "Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Western Shu zi Yunting." "Comparing Zhuge Liang's grass hut with Yang Xiong's simple living room, this is exactly the case. I live in a burrow here, but I am also a virtuous and talented person who can compare with the sages of the past! It deepens the connotation of expression, raises the level of debate, and enhances the power of persuasion.

"Buried Room Ming" integrates narrative, scene writing, discussion, lyricism, and reasoning in one furnace, short and concise, concise and concise, easy to understand and fresh and elegant. It is catchy to read, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, such as a small bridge watching the flowing water, such as looking at the blue sky and admiring the white clouds, such as drinking a clear spring, such as tasting fragrant tea. The afterglow is long and endless, and the release of the scroll is still unfinished.
