Today, I shared with Teacher Jia Xingjia and broadcast "Liaozhai" live
First of all, from a literary point of view, the story of "Baby Ning" has a special poetry and is more modern.
It is said that there is a young Xiucai in the costume of a prince in Juxian County, Shandong, his family is very solid, his father died very early, he is a young celebrity, 14 years old in The Xiucai, became a famous young man in the local area.
On the first day of the new year, he went out with his cousin, and he saw a girl holding a plum blossom.
Prince Fu saw a beautiful girl he was scared silly, this girl is very lively, followed by a little girl, she said to the girl, "a child Lang's eyes burn like a thief", this is very similar to the "History", just say that this little boy thief eyebrows rat eyes stared at me not like a good person, she threw the plum blossom on the ground and walked.
The prince lost his soul and picked up the plum blossoms to go home, basically not eating or drinking acacia and becoming ill. Relatives know that he is sick and come, this Wu Xiucai of course knows why he got sick, he said that in fact, we have visited the fourth girl, she lives in the mountains 30 miles west, she is my other aunt, that is, your aunt's child, we will see if we can give you a kiss.
The prince dressed the young man half better when he heard it, and the ground was normal, but he couldn't wait for the left side of the house, and the right side couldn't wait, so he took the plum blossom up the mountain to find it. He waited until a beautiful and quiet valley, which was already full of flowers and trees, and he found such a small village in the valley. There is a particularly neat and elegant family in the village.
Pu Songling said that the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms in this family are particularly luxuriant, and some green bamboo is also planted. In such a beautiful environment, the prince heard a voice, Pu Songling's original name was weak, euphemistic and shy such a voice called Xiao Rong. Then a figure flashed by, and he saw a woman walking and planting apricot blossoms on her head, who was the person he was thinking about.
Then the prince must have known that he was waiting here, and he did not go in, but sat at the door and waited. After waiting for most of the day, an old lady came out of the house, and the old lady chatted with him and asked what you were doing, who were waiting for.
The old lady asked him who it was, and this old lady actually said that we are not outsiders, I am your aunt, saying that it is the sister of the prince's mother, and the information she said about the wang family is in line with the prince's family, and then she directly invited the prince's clothes to her own home. Let them just call that Xiao Rong, that is, the lady to cook, and chat with the prince.
The old lady said where Ning Gu was, and at this time the baby Ning he was thinking about appeared. The prince asked, saying how old is my cousin this year?
The prince said that my cousin was exactly one year younger than me and 17 years old, and the old lady said which one my niece and daughter-in-law had hired, and the prince said that I had not yet married. At this time, the old lady said that you and Baby Ning are a couple, but unfortunately you two are in-laws, is there any obstacle?
During the process of talking to the old lady, his eyes had been staring at Baby Ning. At this time, the little girl who was present continued to say that she said that the eyes of this little thief had not changed.
Baby Ning laughed and pushed the girl and said let's go see if the peach blossoms bloom, and then the two of them will leave.
Since The prince was a relative of the family and a nephew, he was left at home by the old lady. Baby Ning's home is a very chic small courtyard, said to have a half-acre garden, white stone paved road, three rows of grass houses in the yard, growing a lot of trees.
The prince got up early in the morning to walk in their house, heard a sound in the tree, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Baby Ning climbing on the tree. Very naughty a little girl.
The prince said you don't fall, grabbed her down, and secretly pinched Baby Ning's wrist in the process. How to say it? It is also the expression of the teenager's emotions, and Baby Ning does not avoid it in the process, and she also laughs.
The prince took out the dried plum blossom and said that this flower was still thrown down when you were on the yuan last year. At this time, since the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms should be in March and April, the prince said that you read my obsession, can you pity me.
Baby Ning was very frank, saying no problem, what do we say if we are relatives? Some of the flowers in our house are, what flowers you like, you find an old servant to hold a big one. He said I don't love flowers, I love people who take flowers.
Baby Ning said that we are relatives, and of course relatives have relatives. The prince said that we are not the love of relatives, but the love of husband and wife. The love of husband and wife is to share a bed, and Baby Ning looked down and thought for a while and said that I don't like to sleep with people.
After a while, Prince Fu and Baby Ning met again at the old lady's place, and the old lady said what did you do in the garden just now? Baby Ning said I was chatting with my cousin, and the old lady said what did you say for half a day?
After arriving home, of course, the mother of the prince was surprised, the son was too out of the ordinary, went out empty-handed, and brought back such a beautiful girl. But she was still very strange, and she had to ask the girl where she came from.
Baby Ning called herself the niece of the Wang family, and as Baby Ning said, her father's surname was Qin, she was a daughter of the old lady, according to the feudal etiquette she should call this old lady Mother, because the old lady was the main mother.
In fact, the aunt of the prince's costume died many years ago. Wu Xiucai said that there was indeed such a thing, and that the uncle surnamed Qin had married a fox as a concubine after his aunt's death, and had also given birth to a girl, and as a result, the girl was taken away.
Baby Ning at home is also laughing non-stop, the whole family members are very happy, the old lady said that this child is beautiful is very beautiful, but it is too cute.
The old lady observed, and at first suspected that she was a ghost, but later found that she was normal in the sun, so she and the prince dressed her and the wedding.
During the wedding process, Baby Ning put on the kimono or smiled forward and backward, and even this ceremony could not be completed, which was also a thing that made them feel very distressed.
After Baby Ning passed the door, everyone liked her, she was a very qualified daughter-in-law, as long as the old lady was not happy, she could tease the old lady. If the servant made any mistake, he would also beg the young grandmother to calm the old lady.
She has only one characteristic, she is a person who loves flowers. She sold her jewelry to buy some good flowers to plant in her home.
During the time of passing through the door, the Wang family could say that flowers were flooded everywhere. From this point, Pu Songling was the one thing that led to the fact that there was a wood incense planted under the western wall of the Wang family, a shrub with small white flowers, and Bao Ning was still a habit of climbing the tree without any trouble. In the process of climbing, she was seen by a man from the west neighbor's house, and such a beautiful woman laughed like this in the tree, and he was about to collapse.
Then he looked at Baby Ning, who was born to laugh, so she saw that this person was also laughing, laughing while using her fingers to the corner of the yard.
But the old lady stopped doing it, saying that if we met a confused official who brought you to the hall and showed your face, where would my son's prince's face be put?
This question still makes sense, and then Baby Ning will not laugh from now on, you go to tease her she does not smile, she is either straight face, or change the habit of laughing before.
After this incident passed, one day Baby Ning cried with the prince and said that you and your mother-in-law were good to me, and I would tell you that I was a child born of a man and a fox. But my biological mother entrusted me to the ghost of my aunt who was already underground at that time, so I called it a ghost mother.
I have been dependent on her for more than ten years, and my ghost mother lives alone in the mountains, and she cannot be buried with my father, and she is lonely every day. Because Baby Ning belongs to the people between the two realms, she can contact the ghost mother every day.
From the perspective of the prince's clothes, whether it is the mother-in-law or your aunt, he has this obligation, so he is happy to do the mother's burial, and he also dreams of the old lady to thank him.
In the new year, Baby Ning gave birth to a son to the prince, and this son was not afraid of giving birth to people in his infancy, and he laughed when he saw people. According to Pu Songling's description, it is said that this son has the style of his mother Baby Ning.
When you listen to this story, you feel that it is not a very complicated story, nor is it like most of Pu Songling's stories, which have a metaphorical nature and reflect a reality.
This kind of description is basically very similar to the image of Baby Ning, Shen Congwen said that Cuicui is like a small beast, but Baby Ning is actually like this. The most rare point is that Pu Songling can use his identity as an old talent of that era, and he can imagine such a female image that has not been polluted by secular society and can even be said to be "defiled". Putting her in such a living environment, and he can appreciate her, is a rare thing.
As long as Pu Songling writes about flowers, he will always let flowers accompany her. At the beginning, he used dried plum blossoms to represent Bao Ning, and let the prince think about it day and night. When Baby Ning officially appeared, the home was full of flowers, and flowers were flooded everywhere she went. This way of writing is a kind of poetry writing, that is, Yun wants to dress and flowers, he corresponds to the influence of Baby Ning and flowers, a bit of intertextual effect, you have me, I have you.
The first line in the first appearance of the character of Baby Ning is "a child's eyes burning like a thief". Baby Ning did not run, Baby Ning directly said this sentence, at that time, this is the surprising place. And on the surface, this sentence seems to be that Baby Ning accused the prince of disrespect. She had no concept of courtesy, she was a small beast from between the green mountains and waters, and she said that the look in this person's eyes was very strange.
Later said that when the prince served to baby Ning's house and talked to this old lady, baby Ning did not officially appear, there is such a sentence, the window is vaguely peeping, this family is these three people, who is peeking?
In fact, this is a literary intuition, that is, the state of Baby Ning, she herself is a natural girl who has just opened her heart, but does not know what it is. She herself did not want to understand the meaning of her behavior, so Pu Songling also deliberately did not write it clearly, you are really a very amazing old show to describe the girl, and even the narrative angle chosen will be so accurate.
This is also a very interesting way to write in Pu Songling's entire 500 stories of "Liaozhai", which is an artistic intuition from him, he thinks that I want to present the role of Bao Ning, I will use this way. According to him, it is the half-masked way of writing the pipa.
Baby Ning in addition to the symbol of love flowers that we just said, is particularly fond of laughter, where to laugh. Even many people think she is stupid. Baby Ning is a state of humility, she is a person like a newborn, she thinks that the world is fresh everywhere, everywhere funny, everywhere there is a different kind of cognition than ours.
So it is an innate thing, it is a value concept that transcends the acquired shape, that is to say, it is difficult for you to take morality to strictly set it, you have to take morality to set the innate innocence, and the result is very embarrassing.
But the moral gap of Baby Ning does not mean that her feelings are blank, Pu Songling will be afraid that we really see her as a silly girl, specially arranged for her to be behind, that is, she wants to cry when she wants to give her mother a joint burial, showing that her feelings are complete and a very three-dimensional character.
Later, after Baby Ning caused trouble, the mother of the prince persuaded her that she meant this, you can laugh, you can't always laugh. In fact, this is a reasonable sentence, the prince has lost his father since childhood, and his mother grew up dependent on each other, the two people have a deep affection, according to our understanding, in the future, this daughter-in-law will have a lot of problems getting along. But this was handled very well, and after talking to her, Baby Ning never smiled.
This is the attitude of the humble people, the humble people have no intermediate state, I can't learn when you laugh, when not to laugh at this thing.
Baby Ning's name is actually very beautiful, baby baby, quiet Ning, repeat it, it will form an echo in your brain area. A lot of female friends will use it as a screen name, and I think it is also a very beautiful image.
Horror Story Sharing "Genetic Doom"
The plot of the story, said that there is such a standard American middle-class family living in a large house in the suburbs, the husband and wife with a son, a daughter and two children, the grandmother of this family came up to some very strange people, since then there have been a series of strange things in the family, husbands, wives and children in some very strange ways to die.
The actual story is that Grandma was actually a person who worshipped the Demon God Organization, and she chose her daughter's family as their sacrifice before she was born. So in the end, the remaining boys in their family became the bodies of the demon gods. In our nether jargon, it's called the takeover, so the movie ends there. Because it's a horror film, it's probably such a framework.
One of them explains that at the end of the day there was a man named Xu Hongru, who got a book from the side door and left way, he could drive away ghosts and gods, he made a mirror to show others, saying that what you shine is your future, some people look at themselves as generals, and when Xu Hongru comes up, he is wearing a yellow robe, the image of the emperor. This argument is actually a rebellious preaching.
There was a Qing soldier Gao Qiang, who killed two young girls from Xu Hongru's formation, which was really very similar to Mo Yan's way of telling stories, that is, the girl held a double knife, rode a high-headed horse, and took the knife as fast as the wind and frost. I think such an image is really going to enter the folk circulation, it is really too divine.
Then they were exhausted by this general, and later after Xu Hongru's defeat, he arrested Yu Dang and interrogated the two girls, saying that it was actually Xu Hongru's spell, and they were riding a bench, not a high-headed horse, and as a result, they used this magic to exhaust a real general.
In the other passages of the Liaozhai there are also records of Xu Hongru, and one section is Xiao Er, which refers to Xu Hongru's female disciple who got rid of this sect, but she still has these spells
The name White Lotus Sect is certainly familiar to you, it is a mysterious sect that often appears in the folk after the Song Dynasty, it has many branches, but people do not know much about it. Why? A few years ago, a famous sinologist, who is now a professor at the Shaw Chair at Oxford University, wrote a book on the White Lotus Religion in Chinese history in his doctoral dissertation.
The real prototype of the White Lotus Sect is actually the White Lotus Sect created by Mao Ziyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty. But the word has become a disaster in ancient times, including in the story of Pu Songling, and has become synonymous with a type of phenomenon.
When we encounter something terrible, clean up our cognition. For example, the tip of telling a story, why does he scare us, because we don't know what this gang is going to do, the horror thing will come out of nowhere, and you will have a sense of fear of the unknown.
In other words, from the perspective of a demon, he said what I organized believers to do, and it became a documentary, and it was not scary. If you analyze it well with knowledge, cognition, and reason, and disassemble it, it is not something that originally existed in our real world, but only recombined.
