Tao Yuanming's depiction of a paradise is well known to everyone and is very fascinating. In his "Little Bean Shed", the Qing dynasty Zeng Yandong also talked about a sea wonderland, which has a peach charm. Let's take a look at it today and have a taste.
Outside the city of Nanchang Province, there is a Huangniuzhou, where there is a family surnamed Jiang. The Jiang family has been doing business in the Guangdong area of Fujian Province, and the maritime trade has been in the seafaring trade for decades.
Jiang Mou was kind in life, and Tong Shu was not deceived. When you see someone catching birds, you must buy them and release them. He often said, "Birds are like music, they are very good, but what is the point of being locked in a cage and listening to their cries of mourning?" ”
Once, his ship went from Fujian to Guangdong. When I crossed Oiso Island, a hurricane suddenly blew. The clouds are thick and the waves are fierce. The boatman sailed with the wind, and the ship entered a vast ocean, and did not know where it had drifted. Then the mast broke, the boat broke into the water, and all a hundred or so people drowned in the sea.
Jiang Mou also fell into the water, thinking that he was dead. Suddenly he noticed that there was a piece of wood beside him, so he hugged it tightly and rose and fell with the wood in the waves. One day and night in the floating and sinking seawater, Jiang Mou almost collapsed, but the sea breeze was even more fierce.
Jiang Mou came to the shore with the waves and felt that the sea water became shallower. But he was so weak that he couldn't get up. The waves pushed the sand to his side, and the waves kept lapping at his body.
Soon, the wind weakened, the tide leveled, and the sky cleared after the storm. Jiang Mou was already lying on the beach at this time. The afterglow of the sea breeze was still there, his clothes were still wet, fortunately it had just entered autumn, and the weather was not too cold.
Jiang Mou looked up and saw only a rock in front of him. He walked slowly over, dragged the rattan up to the top of the rocky mountain, and found that on three sides was the sea, and the water and sky were connected. Only the west side of the rocky island, overgrown with grass and trees, can not see the road clearly.
Jiang Mou thought to himself, "I didn't die from a fish turtle, why am I still afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards?" It's useless to look at the sea, let alone grunt in your stomach. So he came down from the top of the rock and walked into the grass and woods.
After entering, I saw that the dates were already red and fell all over the ground. Jiang Picked it up and ate it, no longer feeling hungry. Looking between the rocky crevices, a walkable mountain path is slightly revealed. Jiang Mou walked out two or three miles and heard the sound of chickens and dogs barking. In the cracks of the woods, the corners of the village are faintly revealed.
Jiang Mou ran happily, yes, it was a village. Although there are few people, they are gathered in one place, clean and tidy. Outside the village, an old man walked slowly with a cane, a long and fluttering beard, and a Taoist dress, which was no different from the Han dress.
Jiang Mou went forward to greet him, and said that he encountered the sea wind and the ship broke into the water, and asked the old man to be kind and take him in. The old man said, "Listening to your accent, it seems to be from Jiangxi." Jiang replied, "I am from Nanchang County." ”
The old man said, "We are fellow countrymen." "After saying that, I led Jiang into the village." When the old and young people in the village saw the old man, they all bowed their hands respectfully. Jiang Mou thought that the old man must be a rich gentleman in the village.
When I got to the door, I went into the house, and when I entered the room, the old man's home was very majestic. Jiang Mou fell to his knees, and the old man lifted him up and said, "Fellow, why should this be so?" Now that you're here, let's stay here for the time being. He pointed to the small bedroom next to him and let Jiang live. Inside the clothes and beds, all very well equipped.
Jiang Mou lived for half a month, and the daily dishes and rice were very exquisite and clean, and there was no meat and vegetable wine. The servants who come in and out are all Jiangxi accents. Jiang therefore asked everyone how far this place is from China, and the answer was vague.
One day the old man said to Jiang: "You know how to calculate accounts, help me keep accounts every day." Jiang agreed to come down. It's just a matter of remembering the rice dishes of hundreds of people every day. In the morning, someone sent the purchased things to the Jiang family, and after a few years, Jiang registered them in the account book.
After more than a year, Jiang Mou was honest and reliable, and the old man liked him very much and asked him: "Do you miss your hometown?" Jiang Mou cried and said: "I am very happy to be accepted by your old man; but there are parents at home, looking forward to my return, I have not come home now, I am afraid that they will cry and break their intestines." ”
The old man said, "I'm a good place here, and it won't be difficult for you to go back." Jiang Mou listened to this, fell to his knees, and begged him to help return to Jiangxi. The old man promised to talk about it the next day.
The next morning, Jiang took the account books to the hall and handed them all over to the old man. The old man went out on crutches and came to the beach.
There is not a single ship at sea. The old man threw his crutches in the water and instantly transformed into a giant ship. Lao Weng and Jiang Mou climbed up, and then Lao Weng asked Jiang Mou to close his eyes and not open them.
Only the sound of the wind and waves was heard, and then the sound became farther and smaller, while the voices of the village market loomed. The old man said, "It's here." Jiang Mou opened his eyes and couldn't help but be surprised.
It turned out that what came into sight was the Tengwang Pavilion of the "Tengwang Gaoge Linjiangzhu". The old man walked into the cabinet, and Jiang followed, only to see that the god case was full of Daoist account books. The old man took the oranges offered to the gods on the case, peeled them off and gave them to Jiang Mou. Jiang Mou ate it, and the old man closed the peel of the orange and placed it on the god case.
Jiang Mou followed the old man to the kitchen and saw many knives and knife plates, and the kitchen utensils were messy. The old man took a letter and handed it to Jiang and said, "Someone asked you, you give this to him." Jiang hid the letter in his sleeve. Then the old man turned over and went into the stove and disappeared.
Jiang Mou shouted anxiously: "The old man has entered the fire stove." However, the chef who heard the noise grabbed Jiang and said, "This is the place where the Heavenly Master eats and fasts, what kind of person are you, who dares to trespass here?" Jiang Mou replied: "I just came in with an old man, and he suddenly entered the stove." ”
After taking out the letter, the cook opened it and found that it was the expression of the previous Heavenly Master praying for rain. There are two typos in the middle, which are deliberately circled. Jiang Mou pointed to the citrus fruit on the table and said that one of them was empty. So the chef is no longer embarrassed by Jiang.
After hearing about this, the Inspector of Jiangxi inquired carefully and knew that Jiang Mou was happy to be charitable and charitable, so he set up a stone monument of "Good People's Place" at the door of Jiang's house. At this time, Jiang Mou knew that the old man was Xu Zhenren of Jingyang. After that, Jiang Mou practiced ji shan more seriously, and he and his mother eventually achieved high life expectancy.

Outside the city of Yuzhang Province, there is Huangniuzhou, where the Jiang family lives. Taste the merchants in Fujian, Guangjian, navigation up and down, decades also. Jiang Sheng is good and does not deceive Tong Shu. See people catching birds and birds, they will be sold and released. Each day: "A few hours in Upanish, willing to listen." In the thorns of this man's cage, what is the same as listening to his cries of mourning? ”
One year, from Fujian to Guangdong, over The Island of Taiji. The hurricane burst out and looked around. The long rainbow hangs in the sky, and the sea water shakes. The boat master entered, and entered the ocean to the downwind, ignorant of what it was. And the mast was broken, and a hundred people drowned, and the river also went to the middle of the waves. I thought that there was no physiology, and I suddenly felt that there was wood next to me. The river embraces, the wood rises, and the waves fall. Floating and sinking day and night, the river is exhausted, and the wind is getting madr. The river follows the waves to the shore, feeling that the water is shallow, the body is not self-sustaining, and the waves push the sand across the body, as if they are also striking.
It is a temporary killing, the tide is encountered, and the sun is clear. The river has been creeping on the sand bank. The wind is still whirring, the clothes clip can be half dry, fortunately the early autumn is not cold. The gods looked up to the north, all of them were rocky and crawling away from the porpoise. Attached to the vine kudzu, and the peak, on three sides are the ocean, water and sky meet. Dokdo is facing westward, the grass is full of stones, and there is no path. Jiang Xiaoyun: "I Jiang Mou's immortal fish turtle, is he stingy with tigers and wolves?" Looking at the ocean is useless, and the belly is in the middle of the orange. "So the edge fell into the grass and trees." See the mountain dates are red and fall off the ground. Jiang Zhizhi, not hungry, looking at the rocky edge, slightly exposing a line of tracks. In the second and third miles of the river tail, I heard the sound of chickens and dogs, and gradually faded like a bush in the corner of the house. Jiang Xi ran, no he, actually the village also. Although there is little smoke in the household, the watch is all in order. Outside the village, a weng Ce came with a staff, long beard, fluttering makeup, no different from China. Jiang Qian gave a speech, telling him that the boat had been damaged by the wind and hoped to beg for mercy. Weng Yue: "Listen to Er's voice, like a Jiangxi person." Jiang Yue: "Nanchang County." Weng Yue: "My township also." "Lead into the village, the old and young in the village, all arched. Jiang Yi Weng BiLin was a gentleman. To the door, inside, to the church, very majestic. Jiang Creeping and Weng Ye's rise, he said, "Xiangli also, why should Erer?" At this point, you can temporarily shelter. "Refers to the ear room, and the clothing is ready."
Jiangju half a month, the daily vegetable rice is quite clean, not as good as meat wine. The servants who come and go are all Jiangxi's voices. Jiang Yin inquired about his people, how far to go to China? The crowd replied vaguely. And Weng Yiyi called out to Jiang: "Erneng accountant, for our division day palm." "Jano. Only diary hundreds of people rice dishes. In the morning, some people scooped up things to go to the Jiangsu Institute, and the number of them was only registered. If it is the year, Jiang Gucheng and Weng Xizhi ask Jiang Yue, "Does Ru also miss his hometown?" Jiang wept: "The elders are kept and raised, and they have fulfilled their wishes; but the family has loving relatives, and they hope that the son will not return, and they are afraid of breaking their intestines and ears." Weng Yue: "This place is also good, and it is not difficult to return." Jiang heard the words and knelt down to return to the province. Weng Xu to another day.
In the morning, Jiang Bao booked the hall and handed over the weng one by one. Weng Nai ce went out with a staff, to the seashore, and there was no boat. Weng threw his staff in the wave, that is, a giant ship. Weng and Jiang Dengzhi made Jiang close his eyes and not open his eyes, but he heard the sound of the wind and waves. It is fading away, and the township dialect is faintly coming. Weng Yue: "To the end." Jiang stared at the surprise, then "Tengwang Gaoge Linjiangzhu" also. Weng entered the cabinet, and Jiang followed, and saw that your excellency's case incense was covered with charms. Weng took the case on the offering of the god orange, dissected its zhen, and jiang. Jiang Zhizhi, Weng Yang with an empty skin to place the room. Jiang went to the kitchen with Weng again, and saw that before the knife was full, the anvil was mixed. Weng holds a letter with Jiang Yue: "People ask Ru, so as to yizhi." Jiang Na was in his sleeve, and Weng turned over into the stove and disappeared. Jiang Qianyue: "The elder goes to the fire." And the chef insisted: "In this place where the heavenly master is fasting, why should the idle people be good at this?" Jiang Yue: "Suitable for the elderly, suddenly into the stove." ”
So the seal letter was issued for examination, and it was dismantled, that is, the morning Heavenly Master prayed for rain. There are two typos, which are especially circled. Also refers to the citrus fruit, empty one. Jiang Fuzhi inquired about his goodness, and signed the stone table in the state known as "Good People's Place". And Jiang Shizhi knew weng zhi as Jingyang Xu Zhenren also. Cultivating good deeds, mother and son are on the shouyun.
(Qiru Clan: "Chicken dog in the clouds, the house soars, is it not clear that there is a place in the world?") According to this, the traces of the gods and immortals are still in the human world. The first is the peach blossom flowing water to clean the ears. "It's also true. )
