Scarecrow and Qin figurines

Warring States Policy. Zize has a story of a dialogue between a peach terrier (a peach wood man) and a clay puppet man (a clay man).

The peach stem is called the earth puppet: "The son (you), the soil of the west bank, the son (molded) thinks that he is a man, and in August of the year, when the rain falls, the water arrives, then the ru is ruined." Tu Yue: "Not really." I, the soil of the West Bank, my remnants, then the West Bank ears. Imago, the peach stalk of the Eastern Kingdom, carved the child to think of people. When it rains, the water comes, and the flow goes away, then the drifter is like an ear."

The Scarecrow and the Qin Figurines - I would like to use this article to comfort the ordinary of us

On the journey back home from Lingnan, the repetitive and monotonous scenery hurriedly swept past the car window, like a large number of primary school students' compositions in front of the class teacher, and the pages were hurriedly turned over to look lackluster.

The mountains outside the mountain could not see the towering momentum, which made me, a foreigner who grew up in the Jianghan Plain, eager to climb the mountain, a little disappointed. I even suspect that the mountains here are not as high as the skyscrapers of Yangcheng. The water in the water definitely does not have the feeling of Haohao soup, which makes me, a wanderer who grew up drinking the water of the Yangtze River, have the feeling of "once in the sea". Shan Shui dodged and dangled out of the car window, as if a schoolboy who did not have to do his work knew that his composition was a flowing account and did not want people to look at it carefully.

The sleeper car bumped all the way forward, making people sit restlessly, and I was groggy and looking forward to arriving home early.

At this moment, the fields outside the car window gradually attracted my attention, and I found that when the rice fields in Lingnan were still in sight, the green and yellow harvest was in sight, and the car traveled to the territory of Hunan, and the rice fields were already the scene of autumn harvest. The rice on the side of the road has almost been harvested, only a few old farmers in Liao Liao are packing rice stalks into small piles, and the rice fields are full of piles of "scarecrows". In fact, they are not scarecrows, but straws are piled up in the ground, with heads and arms in human form, but I am happy to call them scarecrows, because these scarecrows are stacked in piles, dozens of groups, hundreds of thousands and arrays, immersed in the qin terracotta warriors.

How did you suddenly think of the Qin figurines thousands of miles away? I have no reason to know, maybe it is just a distraction for a moment.

The scarecrow swung all the way to the field as a phalanx, and surrounded pedestrians and vehicles from the two wings of the highway, which can really be described as imposing and strictly waiting, but the scarecrow phalanx has a flaw -- although the position is there, the queue is not rectified, some are crooked from side to side, some are piled up, as if they are whispering, if you pay attention, you can also see their posture of covering their mouths and laughing and playing with each other, where is this better than the silent majesty and frightening killing spirit of the Qin figurines? It was like Sun Wuzi's first practice of king Wu's two-team favorite. But that's what attracted me to the Scarecrow, and I couldn't help but compare the Scarecrow and the Qin Figurines.

Two thousand years ago, the Qin people, under the coercion of the First Emperor and the blood, tears and sweat, burned and cast the world's eighth wonder - the Qin figurines - with the heart of daring to be angry and dare not speak; six thousand years ago, our ancestors sweated into the soil and bred the world's first rice with sincere prayers and full of expectations, thus giving birth to the "scarecrow".

A Qin figurine can not be bought for a million, it is a real priceless treasure of the city, and a large piece of scarecrow can not sell for a few dollars, or burned or buried or abandoned no one is sorry. But without the Qin figurines, we still have the Great Wall to be proud of, and without the scarecrow's rice, what can we take to get a full meal?

The Qin figurine is a miracle that everyone admires the world, and the scarecrow has little fame except that the writer named Sanmao has described it, and it seems that it is only worth Sanmao.

The Qin figurines have been buried deep in the loess for two thousand years, without any intervention in the historical process of China, but a few decades ago, a farmer accidentally dug the head of the Qin figurines in order to dig a well, and almost scared to death, and since then the Qin figurines have had a little economic fame and fortune. Although the influence of the Scarecrow is not widely known, it is remembered in the annals of history and legend. When the Three Kingdoms were established, the Scarecrow repeatedly performed miracles, Zhuge used it to borrow 100,000 arrows from Cao Cao, Huang Gai used it to burn away a million soldiers in Chibi, and Xu Sheng of Eastern Wu used it to create a false building in the city of Doubt, stretching for hundreds of miles to the riverside, frightening Cao Pi to look at Jiang Xing and sigh: "Although Wei has a thousand groups of martial horses, it is useless, and it is not possible to achieve it", the Qin king Fu Jianxing poured his troops into the country, holding the ambition of throwing the whip to plug the river and approaching the fat water, but he saw that the grass and trees on the Bagong Mountain outside Shouyang City were all soldiers, and finally the whole army collapsed in the sound of the wind and cranes, resulting in the demise of the powerful Former Qin and the formation of the situation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It has had a profound impact on the course of China's history. Therefore, although the Qin figurines array Qi Wei looked like an invincible master, they could not stick to the First Emperor's Jiangshan and passed it on to the world. Modern people worship its mighty momentum, but it really does not contribute to history. But the Scarecrow has a profound impact on Chinese civilization, and in all fairness, who is ordinary and who is great?

The Qin figurines have been buried for more than 2,000 years, can they still be preserved for 2,000 years since excavations and excavations in the dome of Huayu? No one can guarantee it, but one thing I know- in the sun, in the wind and rain, I am afraid that it will turn into dirt in half a day, unless the nuwa is under the mortal or can be reshaped. However, the scarecrow is not afraid of life and death, every year there is a year of life, the wind and rain cannot be destroyed, the wildfire is inexhaustible, the life and death are endless, as long as human beings still have the feeling of hunger, the scarecrow will exist for a long time.

"Those who are good for fire are not good for water; those who are good for water are not good for fire." Qin Qiao was afraid of water and not afraid of fire, and the scarecrow was not afraid of water or fire. The Qin figurines were born in the fire, and the burning kiln fire may have been lit by the scarecrow. Even a single stroke of water can make the Qin figurines collapse, but the scarecrow thrives in the silent drizzle of moisturizing things, fire is the terminator of the scarecrow, and fire also achieves the nirvana of the scarecrow.

Unconsciously, twilight quietly fell, and the smoke in the farmhouse in the distance outside the car window was thick with smoke, and there was a lot of smoke all around, which was very similar to the portrayal in Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden and Rural Residence": Ambiguous Distant People's Village, Relying on the Smoke in the Ruins. The burned embers of the scarecrows on the fields were still pouring out silently, and I could smell the only remaining smell of rice after the burn. Is this a battlefield where the smoke of war is not over? The Scarecrow, who was lying on the ground and in the process of ashes, really looked like a dead soldier, for whom did it fight? Win or lose?

I don't know how many years later, the heavens and the earth were flooded, returned to chaos, the Qin figurines finally returned to dust and soil, and many years later, the yellow land that found the Qin figurines grew strong rice and wheat seedlings, and whenever the harvest season was harvested, the scarecrows on the land were particularly neat and majestic, and it was vaguely the heroic posture of the Qin figurines.

- The above is the scenery of more than twenty years ago, when the rice fields were not yet harvested by machines, orange poles could be burned, and sleeper cars were mostly used between the lakes and Guangzhou.
