"Banqiao Miscellaneous" author Yu Huai gave Zhang Chao's "Dream Shadow" "Inscription"

The Qing Dynasty talent Zhang Chao spent fifteen years compiling a collection of essays "Shadow of Dreams", which is extensive, beautiful in words, elegant and interesting, and beautiful in the warehouse. What is valuable is that he also consciously asked famous artists and everyone to read it, and then made some comments to let readers interact with the text, in the form similar to today's Weibo posts on the Internet, but the time is more than three hundred years earlier.

"Shadow of dreams" book, there are two inscriptions in front of two small prefaces, and some versions are directly printed into four prefaces, we want to say here is the first inscription, the preface is Yu Huai, the original text has no punctuation, not segmentation, near Hezhai refers to a variety of versions of punctuation segments as follows:

In addition to reading history, Yu Qianjing reads no less than hundreds of barnyard novels since the Tang Dynasty. Not only can you prepare for the will, but also increase your awareness, such as those who travel to famous mountains and rivers, they will explore the cliffs and valleys; Those who play Qiao Song Gu Cypress will pick beautiful grass and flowers. Refreshed and pleasant. This non-turban [nài dài], chapter and verse corrupt Confucianism also knows.  

  Therefore, Yu Yu wrote poems in his spare time, recording ancient anecdotes and modern news, from young to old, and wrote dozens of miscellaneous works. For example, "Speaking History", "Speaking Poems", "Dang Jian", "Yingjian", "Dongshan Tanyuan", "Khan Qingyu Language", "Yanlin", "Non-Vain Language", "Tea History Supplement", "Four Lotus Flowers Zhai Miscellaneous Records", "Man Ong Manga", "Zen Forest Manga", "Reading History Floating White Collection", "Ancient and Modern Books and Characters Discernment", "Autumn Snow Cong Talk", "Jinling Wild Copy" and the like, although the engraving was not engraved, and the friends borrowed it, several times in the southeastern counties, straight to the proud clouds and look at the Junshan Mountains! 

  Tiandu Zhang Zhongzi's heart is fast, the family is full of ethereal, the chest is full of stars, the pen is full of flowers, and the ink is drenched. His writings are on a par with Yu Qigu and compete for wealth, such as Sun Bofu and Taishi Ziyi meeting at the Shrine; Another example is when Shi Chong and Wang Kai smashed the coral.  

  His book "Shadow of Dreams" is a wonderful aphorism. What is said cannot be said, and what is said is not said. The taste of the exhibition is low, like the meal emperor pulp, listening to the vast music of the juntian, I don't know that this body is in the earthly world below. To:

  "Self-discipline should bring autumn qi, and the world should bring spring qi."  

  A slave can be a slave, but a slave cannot be a slave.  

  It does not harm the good people of the world, and it is harmful to the evil people of the world.

  To seek happiness is to learn immortals, and to avoid suffering is to learn Buddha. ”  

  Super super mysterious, absolutely better than Xu Qing talk. When people are engraved in their hearts and lungs, they are not just Pevey Scholars!

  Man holds the old man Yu Huai Guangxia system

The author of this "inscription" is Yu Huai, that is, the old man who wrote the "Itabashi Miscellaneous". Yu Huai (1616~1696), literary scholar of the early Qing Dynasty. The character is hearty, wordless, the number of Man Ong, Guangxia, also known as the hushan waishi, the cold railway people, in his later years to call himself an old man. Originally from Huangshi, Putian, Fujian, he was born in Nanjing and grew up in Nanjing.

There is a rare word in this Inscription [nài dài], which means stupid and incompetent; ignorant. Qing Dynasty Gu Wenying "Wuxia Dialect Examination · 襶襶" said: "褦襶, can not do things and be stupid, Wu proverbs call stupid people for the folds." ”

Yu Huai is also good at using the opportunity to promote himself, he gave Zhang Chao the inscription of "Ghost Dream Shadow", and did not forget to introduce his own writings to the world. Among them, the "History of Speaking", also known as the "History of Yuzi Saying", is ten volumes, and the Yu Huaixin clan of the Jiang Table. The Eight Volumes of the Dongshan Tanyuan (東山談苑) are signed xia pi ren (余氏郡望) as "Lower Pi County"). The "Khan Qingyu Language" is very extensive, and all of them record the matter of the party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The eight volumes of the Four Lotus Flowers Miscellaneous Records, also signed by Pi Yuhuai's handbook, are written after the Jiashen National Change, and the contents of the collection are: anecdotes, utensils and antiques, flowers, plants, animals, fragrant tea, folk talks, etc., all. The first volume of "Yan Lin", signed by the Putian people, recorded eighty-six rules about Yan Zhi, for his seventy-one years old. Author of a volume of "Tea History Supplement", Signed Puyang Ren, Ziyun: "Tea addicts, Xiang authored the book "Tea Garden", for people to steal the manuscript. ...... Those who have not been prepared are called "Tea History Supplement", which is also the meaning of "History of Tang" supplemented by Shu Ji Shaosun and Li Zhao's "History of Tang". ”

Ziyun here refers to Yang Xiong, a scholar of the Western Han Dynasty, who is good at cifu; Junshan refers to Huan Tan, a philosopher and classicist of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Tiandu Zhang Zhongzi Xinzhai" refers to Zhang Chao, the author of "Shadow of Dreams", Tiandu is the name of the peak of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui, and Zhongzi is an honorific title for the second person in the brothers. Zhang Chao (1650 – c. 1709), courtesy name Shanlai, was a native of She[shè] County (present-day She County, Huangshan, Anhui).

"Sun Bofu and Taishi Ziyi" is Sun Ce and Taishi Ci.

Translating Yu Huai's preface into modern chinese is:

In addition to reading the history of the scriptures, I like to read wild history novels, and I have read hundreds of novels since the Tang Dynasty. Reading novels can not only comprehensively examine the records left by predecessors, but also increase insight. It's like visiting a famous mountain and river must go to the place of cliffs; Playing with Qiao Song GuBai, you must pick beautiful grass and flowers. This can make people's eyes refreshed, and their arms are pleasantly open. These are not things that the pedantic literati who only know how to find chapters and excerpts can understand. Therefore, in addition to the poems, I recorded ancient and modern anecdotes and news with a pen, and from my youth to old age, I wrote dozens of miscellaneous works, such as "Speaking History", "Speaking Poems", "Dang Jian", "Yingjian", "Dongshan Tanyuan", "Khan Qingyu Language", "Yanlin", "Non-Vain Language", "Tea History Supplement", "Four Lotus Miscellaneous Records", "Man weng manga", "Zen Forest Manga", "Reading History Floating White Collection", "Ancient and Modern Books and Characters", "Autumn Snow Cong", "Jinling Wild Banknote" and so on. Pinran did not come out in print, but friends all borrowed and copied from each other, almost all over the southeastern counties, and they could almost stand proud of Yang Xiong and Huan Tan. Zhang Chao, a native of Huangshan, has a rich collection of books at home, with extensive knowledge in his chest, rich in Chinese culture, beautiful writing, and dripping ink. His writings are on par with mine, competing with each other for their wealth, just like Sun Ce and Tai Shi Ci met at the Shrine, and like Shi Chong's sour scene of crushing Wang Kai's material. His book "Shadow of Dreams" has many aphorisms and wonderful theories, saying truths that others cannot say, and telling things that others have never said. Carefully tasting this book is like drinking the drinks of immortals, and it is like listening to the music of the heavens, making people forget that they are still in the world. As for things like "When restraining oneself, you should have the harsh atmosphere of autumn, and when you treat others, you should have the grace of spring", "Maids can do rough work in place of slaves, slaves cannot do fine work instead of maids", "Those who have no damage to the world are called good people, and those who harm the world are evil people", "If you want to seek paradise, learn Taoist immortals; If you want to escape the bitterness of life, you can learn the Dharma", the words are high, better than the Jin Dynasty Zhi Daolin and Xu Yuan's qing talk a lot. People should be engraved in their hearts, not just remembered!
