In this world, each of us must play a different role in front of different people.
Running for life every day, not even the time to collapse.
Only in the dead of night can you lick the wounds of the lone shadow on the wall.
At dawn, I had to comb my hair into the shape of an adult again and put on the mask of a serious person.
But there are always some people who are naturally mavericks.
For example, Jin Shengsi, who is known as "the first improper person in the world", is such an outlaw.
Like to read evil books and forbidden books
Jin Shengsi's real name was Zhang Cai, and after the Manchu Qing Customs entry, he changed his name to Jin Renrui, the word Shengsi.
It means that the golden man is on top, and the saint can not sigh.
That is, there was no Internet in ancient times, otherwise such a name could not be reported and banned?
Compared with those well-known scholars, Jin Shengsi's childhood was relatively poor.
The poor birth means that Jin Shengsi can't fight his father, and everything can only rely on himself.
He entered a private school at the age of nine, studied hard, and loved to read, after all, the children of poor families were not qualified not to work hard.
But like our childhood, class is only a task, and everyone loves to read extracurricular books more.
Jin Shengsi especially likes "The Tale of the West Chamber" and "Water Margin".
These two books were considered by the literati at the time to be "obscene and thieving" books.
Even if ordinary people like to read, they also secretly read, even if they are discovered, they must say:
bah! I would like to see what kind of fallacious and hereticalories such evil books tell, so that I can criticize them.
And Jin Shengsi never shyed away from it, and later even published his own review version.
Love to write college entrance examination zero score essay
After completing his studies, Jin Shengsi naturally went to participate in the imperial examination and go to the examination for Xiucai, but he always did not take the usual path.
Jin Sheng sighed and went to take the annual examination, which was titled "Xizi Laiyi".
The original intention was to write an essay on the matter of saving the country by the West Shi Curve.
But Jin Shengsi directly wrote a poem about oil:
"Open the east city, the west will not come;
Kainan City, Xizi does not come;
Kaibei City, Xizi does not come;
Kaixi City, Xizi came, and I was glad to see this beauty. ”
Obviously, this became a standard college entrance examination zero score essay, which was approved by the examiner: Xiu Cai went to the end! Show to go!
And Jin Shengsi has to be a scribbler in the annual examination every year to frantically brush zero points essay.
Once the title was "If this is the case, it is not touching the heart".
From Mencius: "Gongsun Ugly asked: "The Master Jiaqi's Qing Xiang has to walk the Path, although it is not different from this overlord." Does that move you?" Mencius said, "No, I am not moved for forty years." ”
And Jin Shengsi replied: In the middle of the empty mountains and poor valleys, the gold is ten thousand and two, and the dew is white and white, and there is a beautiful person, please ask the master if he is moved? A: Moving, moving... Wrote 39 moving words, which means "forty and unmoved" after 39 times of moving the heart.
He ridiculed the saint and was simply stripped of his name.
Wang Yingkui's "Essays on Liu Nan" says that Jin Sheng sighed:
"Whenever he encounters an examination of the age, he either resigns to the shiwen with slang, or writes a small poem at the end of the volume, and satirizes the examiner. He was deposed, renamed into Pan, and so on."
In the end, Jin Shengsi decided to prove his talent to the examiners, and wrote the exam questions in a disciplined manner, and sure enough, he was admitted to Xiucai.
To this end, he happily carved a seal of "sixth-class talent" and stamped it everywhere.
Soul dancers are good at dancing big gods
At the age of 20, he chose a very promising career: dancing gods.
Jin Shengsi called himself the Master of the Temple, and became a very famous god stick at that time.
Now we talk about Kim Sung-siu mainly as a literary critic.
However, at that time, Jin Shengsi's fame mainly came from his status as a god stick.
And Jin Sheng sighed and jumped the great god is also really skilled, Jiangnan celebrity Ye Shaoyuan has invited Jin Shengsi to his home many times to help him.
Ye Shaoyuan's daughter Ye Xiaoluan died early, and thinking of her daughter, Ye Shaoyuan wanted to complain to the daughter of the underworld through Jin Shengsi.
This kind of thing is rare to pour Jin Dacaizi, he imitated Ye Xiaoluan's literary style and wrote poems in the support, as if Xiao Luan was reborn, causing Ye Father and Ye Mother to tears and ripples.
This incident was widely circulated at that time, became a good story, and eventually became one of the materials for Cao Xueqin to write "Dream of the Red Chamber".
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and other peasant rebels defeated the official army and invaded Henan and Huguang.
Ye Shaoyuan asked Jin Sheng to ask about current affairs.
Jin Sheng sighed and asked the god to come up, and the self-proclaimed possessed Master of the Temple said to Ye Shaoyuan:
Rogue thieves will not cross the river, and Suzhou will not be spared after ten years.
Eleven years later, in the second year of Shunzhi, the Manchu Qing eliminated Li Zicheng's Dashun and Nanming Hongguang regimes. Iron Hooves stepped into Jiangnan, and Ye Shaoyuan, who was ill at the time, remembered Jin Shengsi's prophecy, and sure enough, it was all fulfilled.
Jin Shengsi also impressed Qian Qianyi when he went to give Qian Qianyi a helping séance.
Jin Sheng sighed that he did not want money, but only asked Qian Qianyi to "write a poem for himself, so that he could shine in the world."
Through Qian Qianyi's biography, Jin Shengsi finally entered the mainstream literary circle at that time and no longer gave people support.
Reviews of books over the original
Jin Shengsi published his own commentary on "Water Margin" in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.
"Water Margin", because it wrote about the peasant uprising, was originally considered to teach people to be thieves.
And Jin Shengsi believes that the last fifty times of "Water Margin" from the beginning of accepting Zhao'an are written by Luo Guanzhong, so he made a big stroke of the old man's pen and directly deleted the last 50 times of this "horizontal addition of dog tail", only retaining the first seventy times written by Shi Nai'an, and as a result, his version was directly popular for three hundred years.
He rated "Zhuangzi", "Departure from Sorrow", "Shi Ji", "Du Gongbu Collection", "Water Margin", and "Xi Xiang Ji" as "Six Talents Book", and made his own review version, and as a result, his version became a bestseller, "a scholar for a while, who loved to read the holy sigh book, and almost edited it at home".
Joke about life
In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661), the new county commander of Wu County in Suzhou, Ren Weichu, blew up three fires as soon as he took office, and harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes appeared in an endless stream, causing dissatisfaction among the local scholars. Jin Shengsi and more than 100 other celebrities at that time were preparing to jointly petition, but they were framed as "weeping temples to resist grain and instigating rebellion", and Jin Shengsi and 18 other celebrities were arrested and sentenced to death. This is the famous "Weeping Temple Case" in history.
Before the execution, Jin Shengsi's two sons, Pear Er and Lianzi, came to bid farewell to their father, and Jin Shengsi looked at the young son who was crying and crying, and could not help but feel affectionate in his heart, and finally left a couplet: "Lian (pity) son is bitter in his heart, and Pear (away) is sour in his abdomen." ”
The spitting holy hand did not seem willing to die like this, and made one last joke with the world before he died.
Legend has it that after Jin Shengsi was beheaded, two balls of paper fell out of his ears, one with "good" written on it and one with "pain" written on it.
Jin Sheng sighed that his life was down, but he lived a different kind of wonderful life in his own way.
Even if he is sentenced to death, he still uses practice to tell us how to joke with his life.
While we are all pretending to be serious, Jin Shengsi is teaching us with strength that a tough life does not need to be serious.
