China's Top Ten Wrongs (10)
NO10: Den disciple
The person who thought that he was more wronged than Chen Shimei was none other than The Disciple Deng.
This story takes place during the reign of King Xiang of Chu, who was in a period of decline in the Chu Kingdom, and the decline of the Chu State had a general trend and the reason why the King of Chu Xiang himself was dim, and his dimness can be known from two short stories.
The first is the story of "making up for the dead sheep" learned in the textbook, and the second is the story of "deng disciple lustful endowment" that we are talking about today.
It is said that during the Chuxiang King's period, there was a "literary attendant" named Song Yu, and this Song Yu was Song Yu, one of the so-called four beautiful men in China. Song Yu not only looks good, because the teacher Qu Yuan is also quite literary, once the King of Chuxiang dreamed of a beautiful woman who had been thinking about it and ordered Song Yu to write it down, there was song Yu's "Divine Daughter Endowment", which created the image of the Goddess of Wushan used by the literati of successive dynasties to cite as a beautiful woman, and because it originated from the spring dream of the King of Chuxiang, it was extended to be a matter of cloud rain by posterity. Song Yu, whose literary talent was so good, was naturally deeply loved by The King of Chuxiang, and often took him in and out of the court.
People red is not much. The deeply favored Song Yu was jealous and attacked by political enemies. First, someone complained to the King of Chuxiang, saying that Song Yu was lonely and did not unite with his colleagues. Song Yu opened his other ability that few people could defeat, the mouth cannon. He told King Xiang of Chu that he had seen people singing in the vegetable market, from the simple "Xiali" and "Ba Ren" to the advanced "Yangchun White Snow", and there were fewer and fewer people around who could sing along with them. Because of the high and the widow, you ordinary people don't understand it. Where I am lonely, it is clear that you do not understand my grand ambitions. The words silenced the King of Chu and the accuser. Not only did the mouth cannon win the victory, but also three commonly used idioms were handed down: lower riba people, Yangchun baixue, Qu Gao and widow.
Another doctor of the Chu Kingdom, who did not learn his lesson, had to challenge Song Yu, and this unlucky egg was called Deng Disciple. Deng Disciple told the King of Chuxiang that Song Yu was a good-looking and person, and it was very inappropriate to often go in and out of the harem with you. Song Yu retorted, "It's not me but the disciple who is lustful. King Chu Xiang was strange in his heart, thinking that everyone knew that Deng's disciple was very ugly, and it was also very ugly to get a daughter-in-law, how to be lustful. Just ask Song Yu what this is.
Song Yu said: There is no beauty in the world compared to the beauty of the Chu Country, the beauty of the Chu State is the best in my hometown, and the most beautiful of the beauties in my hometown is a girl in my eastern neighbor. This girl, the devil's figure, is not tall or short, her face is naturally beautiful, she does not need to rub powder and rouge; there is no place that is not beautiful in the eyebrows, skin, waist, teeth. When she smiled slightly, it was even more difficult to describe, to let the playboys of Yangcheng and Xia Cai see it, it was not strange to be confused! However, this "daughter of the owner" often climbed the wall to peek at me, and for three years, I had not paid attention to her. And the disciple, his wife, with messy hair, slanted ears, chapped lips, and missing teeth, walked up, bent over, limping, and full of scabies and hemorrhoids. But Dr. Denpa, on the other hand, liked her very much and had already had five children with her. Then it is self-evident that I am with the disciples.
King Xiang of Chu was confused and did not think that this was a sophistry, but felt that what Song Yu said was reasonable. This is what became known as the "Disciple of The Lustful Endowment". As a model of being a high-ranking official without abandoning the wife of the chaff instead of being a, Deng Disciple became a synonym for a lustful person, whining and mourning. Although the disciple of Dengzi was stoned and dropped his own foot, it was indeed too wrong to be put on the hat of a lustful person.
Song Yu's mouth cannon does have a set, observing the neighbor's little sister so carefully, even knowing that someone else's ugly wife has hemorrhoids, and there is no one who can win a bad reputation. However, the daughter of the eastern neighbor he created also became a synonym for the beauty described by later generations. Li Bai's poem includes: "Since ancient times, there have been beautiful colors, and the west is close to the east." ”
