In the Song Dynasty, there was Xie Shi who measured words so magically
Go quadripartite
Word measurement, that is, according to the shape structure of the word, the divination method of measuring the auspicious and the evil and the bad luck is a type of fortune telling. In the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Xie Shi, who was very good at measuring words.
Xie Shi, zi runfu, living at the turn of the song dynasty between the north and the south, a native of Chengdu, Sichuan, is the founding father of professional word measurement, and has the reputation of "word measurement holy hand".
------------------------------------
When Xie Shi was not old, in his hometown area, word measurement became famous. At that time, in order to test Xie's ability, a person wrote a "nai" word for testing. Generally speaking, the more strokes of a word, the more complex the structure, the better it is to take apart the explanation, this "is" word, is really too few strokes.
Xie Shi was indeed very skilled, and he replied: "The word 'nai' is close to the word 'and', and if it is lacking, you will not reach the first in your life." "This means that you will not succeed in obtaining meritorious titles, and you will not be able to become an official in your lifetime." Later, the fate of this person was indeed as Xie Shi said.
- The word "Chao" must have been written by tianzi
Xie Shi's ability to measure words was superb, and he soon passed into the palace. Song Huizong also had the intention to see how skilled this person was. So he wrote a "chao" and asked the eunuch to take it to Xie Shi.
Xie Shi read this word and carefully examined the people who came. He said, "You didn't write that word. The eunuch was very surprised and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Xie Shi replied, "When the word 'Chao' is taken apart, it is October 10, and this day is the emperor's birthday." If it wasn't written by the Son of Heaven, who could have written it? ”
(Note: Song Huizong was born on May 5, because this day is a fierce day, so he changed his birthday to October 10, and decreed to the world, naming this day "Tianning Festival".) ）
------------------------
The Second Emperor hui qin, who was captured by the northern kingdom, was succeeded by Zhao Zhao, and was succeeded by Emperor Gaozong. He also wanted to meet Xie Shi as a person. One day, he traveled in a micro-suit, found Xie Shi, and wrote down a "ask" (ask) word for him to test.
Xie Shi looked at it for a moment and thought to himself: This word looks like a jun on the left, and looks like a jun on the right, and this person should not be a mortal. He didn't dare to say this casually, so he asked someone to write another word.
- One on the earth is the king
Zhao Shuo used the crutch in his hand to write a "one" character on the ground. Xie Shi firmed up his thoughts, he said: "Adding a horizontal to the soil is a king's word, you should be the king of the dynasty, right?" So he bowed his head and prayed.
Zhao Zhao saw that this Xie Shi was indeed not simple, and after returning to the court, he ordered his men to find Xie Shi and let him enter the court as an official.
——Qin Tou is too heavy, and there is no light under the pressure of the sun
Later, Qin Ju became the dictatorship of the state and ran amok. One spring, when Zhao Zhuo was idle, he called Xie Shi and wrote a "spring" word for him to test.
Writing is written first and then down, so this "spring" word, the upper half of the ink is heavier, the lower half of the ink is lighter. Xie Shi said, "Qin Tou is too heavy, and there is no light under the sun." "This Qin character is too heavy, the suppressed daylight has lost its color, and it is bluntly said that Qin Juniper has monopolized power and deceived the lord with weight.
Soon, this matter reached Qin Juniper's ears, and he secretly hated Xie Shi. Soon, he found an excuse and exiled Xie Shi to a remote place and handed over to the local officials for strict control. The officials elected by the emperor, Qin Ju, could also be punished at will, which showed the great power of his power.
------------------------------------------------------
On the way to exile, at the foot of a mountain, Xie Shi met an old man. I heard that this person was also good at measuring words, xie Shi intended to test him, so he wrote a "謝" character for testing. The old man said, "Standing in the middle of every word, you should be a person engaged in divination." ”
---------------------------------------
The old man asked Xie Shi to write another word, and he said, "I will test your fate." Xie Shi wrote another "stone" in the palm of his hand.
The old man said, "It's very unlucky!" You write a stone on the skin of the flesh, and the stone is broken; there is a soldier next to you. Shi Jia pawn is broken, it seems that this time you are more fierce than ji less. Later, Xie Shi did indeed die in Lingnan, and responded to the old man's words, which is the last word.
---------------------------------------
Xie Shi was very convinced, and he asked the old man to write a word as well, saying, "I want to test what kind of person you are." The old man said, "Just measure me as a word." ”
This Xie Shi really had two shots, and opened his mouth and said, "A person standing next to a mountain is a 'immortal', you are probably a god, right?" So he bowed his head and bowed his head and asked to be a teacher.
At this time, Xie Shi, who was wearing shackles and locks, was very envious of this old immortal who came and went freely, and was willing to get more clear guidance from the old man, he said: "My word guessing skills are not much worse than yours, but you are now a floating immortal world, but I have fallen into the net, why is this?" ”
The old man said, "You just treat other people's words as words, talk about words, live by words, enlighten others, and ignore yourself; and I completely regard myself as a word, so I have fully understood myself and seen through life, which should be the difference between the two of us." ”
Xie Shi admired the five bodies and threw himself to the ground, deeply realizing that it is really a strong hand in the strong, and there are capable people behind the capable people.
