The owner of Xiaohengxiang Room said in Volume III of unofficial history Grand View in Qing Dynasty: "Fair uncooked rice does not eat noodles or occasionally, but rice never tastes good. When drinking, there are only ten plates of pork and a pot of tea. "

Cai Heng's Biography of Insects, Volume II: "Duke Ji Wenda said that he was a wild monster. He turned around and ate meat at a meal, and there was not a grain of rice in his mouth. The Japanese ruled several women. Five drums are like one time, once in the house, once at noon, once at dusk and once in bed. An indispensable person. In addition, those who are lucky are often there. "

Sun Jingan's Qixia Pavilion Wild Riding: "Hejian Ji Wenda, a great scholar. When I was young, I could see in the dark, and I was endowed with a unique talent. If you don't listen to your wife for a day, your skin will crack and you will feel weak. I tried to edit Siku Quanshu and stayed in the inner court. After a few days of marriage, my eyes are red and my cheeks are as red as fire. Pure temple occasionally sees, frightened, asks what's wrong, and is honest with the public. He smiled and ordered two maids to accompany him. The editor went back to his room to rest. He was given by the second maid-in-waiting in the class. Wenda is happy to praise people and call it' the cloud of concubinage'. "

Lu Xun's comments on Ji Xiaolan and Yuewei Caotang (see Chapter 22 of A Brief History of Chinese Novels, Novels of Jin and Tang Dynasties in Qing Dynasty and Their Tributaries).

Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio has been popular for more than one hundred years, with many imitators and many people paying attention to Ji Yun.

Although Notes of Yuewei Caotang is a book of "Talking to Send Sun", its legislation is very strict, and its essence is to catch up with Jin and Song Dynasties. "Preface" says: "The authors of past dynasties in Myanmar, such as,, Zhong Yuan, etc., have learned a lot about the classics, and Tao Yuanming, Liu, are unpretentious, so they are naturally wonderful and far-reaching, but they dare not make arbitrary changes, but they are not good at wind education during the big purpose period" (20), which is so. The result is different from the legend in the serial. However, compared with the books written by people in Jin and Song Dynasties, Yue Wei was too biased. Gai is not satisfied with novels, but also wants to benefit the people, that is, he naturally violates the spirit of Jin and Song Dynasties. At the end of the stream, it is easy to fall into the talk of karma.

But Ji Yun has a long writing style, many secretaries and an open mind. Therefore, people who measure the situation of ghosts and gods, send people to express their opinions, and if they want to be witty, it is enough to solve the problem; There are textual research and sentiment. The narrative is elegant and interesting. Therefore, no one can come from behind, and it is not just a matter of borrowing and expecting.

"Luanyang Xia Ji" was published, that is, it was published according to this book, based on "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio"; "If so, I smell" and so on, the lines are more extensive. Lu Xun's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio

[Edit this paragraph] Legends and anecdotes

Ji Xiaolan, a gifted scholar in the Qing Dynasty, was a scholar during the Qianlong period, from editing and studying for a bachelor's degree to the history of the Ministry of Rites and assisting the university students. He was the editor-in-chief of Sikuquanshu for more than ten years. In his later years, he wrote 25 volumes of Notes of Yuewei Caotang, which is as famous as Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. He is a genius of dialogue, with profound cultural background and keen wit. Everything in the world, ancient and modern poetry, is right. He is handy, and his perfect writing skills are amazing. Stories about Ji Xiaolan's couplets are recorded in notes and unofficial history, and widely circulated among the people.

One winter, Ji Xiaolan followed Qianlong's southern tour to Bailong Temple, which coincided with the monk ringing the bell. The solemn ancient temple is full of bells and full of poetry. The seven characters of "Golden Bell Hood of Bailong Temple" are written with a pen. When Ji Xiaolan saw it, he knew that Qianlong intended to test him, so he calmly wrote a pair of couplets: "The Jade Emperor was swimming in the Yellow Crane Tower". Gan Long immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Good job!" .

Ji Xiaolan is familiar with poems and has a strong memory. His teacher once took a joint examination of Du Fu's "A Car Shop", saying that "the new ghost is crying there with the old ghost". He skillfully used the sentence "His life hangs by a thread" in Li Shangyin's Ma Su, which was seamless and neat, making his teacher admire you more than Lan.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/6, Emperor Qianlong saw the lotus in the pond for the first time. Qianlong got a sentence: "Lotus root in the pond, who did you hit with your bare hands?" . When Ji Xiaolan saw the castor on the left side of the pond, he asked the opposite sentence and replied, "What do you want from the castor on the shore?" . Similarly, the questioning is relative and flawless, which makes Qianlong amazed.

When Ji Xiaolan was selected as a Jinshi, he saw that there were many pawnbrokers in Beijing, so he casually recited a couplet: "East pawnbroker, west pawnbroker, east pawnbroker and west pawnbroker are things", but he couldn't make a couplet after thinking hard. Later, he ordered to go to Tongzhou to be an examiner. Seeing that Tongzhou is divided into north and south, he struggled for several months before reaching the bottom line: "Nantong House, North Tongzhou, North Tongzhou connects north and south." That's great.

One autumn, a troupe that often fooled people went to Ji Xiaolan's hometown to perform. Because the place is poor and the life is poor, the performer is very angry. Therefore, the actor who plays the role of "examiner" in a play satirizes the villagers there: "sour mustard, smelly cucumber, frowning at the entrance; Clinker coincided with Ji Xiaolan's visit to his parents in his hometown, so he angrily replied, "Destroy the pear garden, lose the scene, make a fuss!"

Ji Xiaolan once had a doctor friend with a bad temper. One day, Ji Xiaolan went to see a doctor because of a slight illness. The doctor's friend said to him, if I make couplets, if you can make couplets, the medical fee and medicine fee are free. Ji Xiaolan thinks this couplet can beat me? Then nodded yes. The first couplet reads: "ointment can be eaten, medicine can be eaten, and plaster can't be eaten." Ji Xiaolan took advantage of his temper and continued the second couplet: "Spleen is good for medicine, qi is good for medicine, and temper is not good for medicine." Touch its shortcomings and urge it to correct, pun intended, wonderful!

A magistrate heard that Ji Xiaolan was brilliant and good at dialogue, so he wanted to try it himself. One day, Ji Xiaolan was traveling in this county with his driver. He wrote an interesting couplet: "Rats, big or small, are called old". Ji Xiaolan thought for a moment, but it was hard to be right for a moment. He looked around and saw a parrot. He said quietly, "Parrots are hermaphroditic." The magistrate secretly marveled at Ji Xiaolan's talent.

Ji Xiaolan deftly confronted Emperor Qianlong.

Ji Xiaolan, a gifted scholar in Qing Dynasty, read books and recited poems to Emperor Qianlong every day after he entered the palace, which made him homesick for a long time.

One day, Emperor Qianlong saw Ji Xiaolan's heart and said to him, "You are moping all day, you must have something on your mind." Ji Xiaolan said, "How can I see it?" Gan Long went on to say, you are: "You think about your wife and children, and your parents." Ji Xiaolan immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, he will appreciate it if your Majesty allows you to take a vacation and go home."

Gan Long said, "As long as you are at the top of my list, you can take a vacation." Ji Xiaolan said, "Thank you for your words, thank God and thank the king." Emperor Qianlong was very unhappy when he saw Ji Xiaolan's bottom allied antithesis, so he allowed Ji Xiaolan to go back to his hometown to visit his mother.

Xiao Shenyang, the minister of Qing Dynasty, asked Ji Xiaolan, a knowledgeable man, to write an inscription for this beautiful garden surrounded by bamboo forests. Ji Xiaolan just a meditation, then a wave of his hand to the word "bamboo shoots". One day, when Qianlong was traveling here, he looked at the plaque with the word "Bamboo Bud" written on it and laughed: "This is Ji Xiaolan's swearing words, but you didn't know it!

[Edit this paragraph] About Ji Xiaolan's wife.

According to historical records, Ji Xiaolan had one wife and six concubines, which is normal for a college student who is an official and does not observe the ceremony, but it is not normal. Very emotional, and, 1740, 17 years old, married a 20-year-old horse in a neighboring county, and respected each other for life. Mrs Ma didn't die until Ji Xiaolan was 72. He has a concubine named Wen Luan, who was his childhood sweetheart. This is very rare in feudal society.

Ji's wife, surnamed Ma, appeared twice in Yuewei Caotang Notes. Appeared for the first time as a "local book". Volume 88 of Huaixi Magazine is a biography of one of Ji's maids, saying that Mrs. Ma likes this maid very much: "So Mrs. Ma finally loves her like a charming girl." The second time, she appeared as her mother-in-law Article 2 14 of the third volume of Huaixi Magazine: "The groom said that he (the second daughter-in-law) is very good at work, bearing, speaking and moral character." Ji cherishes ink like gold, and mentions Mrs. Ma twice, using more than 20 words. In terms of brushwork, I can't read the emotional color between husband and wife, but it looks a little polite and respectful from a distance. This is reasonable. To guess the life between Ma and Ji is nothing more than parents' orders and matchmakers' words. They got married in their teens and twenties. For a bureaucrat like Ji, the daughter-in-law to be married must be suitable and the horse must have a good family background. Education must be three obeisances and four virtues, entering the door of Ji's family, being filial to relatives and friends and being polite to Ji. When I first got married, I might be immersed in a gentle hometown with Ji for a while, but then Ji Zhong was promoted, and Ma's main responsibility was to honor his in-laws and raise children at home. Ji has room after room, and Ma's responsibility is mainly to take it as an example. When I went to Ji Xiaolan, I had my own personal property and didn't live with my parents. As a wife, Ma Shi legally became the general manager of the Ji Xiaolan family, managing the daily life of the family (although there will be a housekeeper, but at most it is the executive general manager of foreign affairs). However, Ma Shi's official duties when he was not at home had nothing to do with this, but he assumed the role of family chairman. Between Ji and Ma, the necessary transformation from the relationship between husband and wife from childhood to the cooperative relationship between family chairman and general manager has finally been successfully completed. When the general manager is in office, regardless of whether the work is done well or not, the chairman is always polite and respectful. It is estimated that General Manager Ma Shi did a good job, so Ma Shi was mentioned in Notes of Yuewei Caotang, highlighting her management of the wing and daughter-in-law.

Guo Tsefu is one of Ji's maids. The article 14 1 in Volume 2 of Huaixi Magazine is devoted to this woman, with more than 300 words, which is quite a lot. Ji briefly talked about the origin and fate of this woman. Focus on two things. First, when Ji was demoted to Xinjiang, he was "terminally ill" and went to Guandi Temple for a visa, knowing that he could wait until Ji came back, but he could not get well. Sure enough, Guo died soon after Ji came back. Second, after Guo's death, he dried his relics at home and wrote two poems to commemorate Guo: "Fenghua is still burning old clothes, and melancholy flies away." I only remember the vulgar language of Xiangshan, and I returned with Su Fan in spring. "(Guo died on the day of seeing off the spring)" A hundred folds of Hunan skirts are painted, and the breeze still remembers Shanshan, knowing the gods first, and finally regretting that Furong is not cold-resistant. "

Ai is another Historical Records of Ji, and it is the most used one in Ji, with 7800 words in two parts. Eighty-eight of the second volume of Huaixi Magazine is almost a biography of Shen Shi. In addition to introducing her own life experience, she volunteered to be a concubine of a rich family. "A woman died before she was 40 years old, which still makes people mourn. Green skirt and white hair, I don't want to be an orphan and rotten mouse ",and recorded a small poem she wrote:" Thirty years of dreams, my body is given to my daughter for collection. He told me all about my life, and he recognized the fifth mother of Gusu. " In addition, Shen Shi visited him at the residence of "Serving Yuanmingyuan" in Ji Xiaolan before his death. After Shen Shi's death, Ji mentioned two poems in Portrait, one of which is: "There are some similarities and some mistakes, but the sweet soul returns to the moon. When the spring dream is traceless, the most important thing is ambiguity. " Article 28 of Volume I of Continued Records of Luanyang specifically records a poem "Flower Shadow" written by Shen Shi shortly before his death. In the poem, there is a rhyme saying: "The number of red peaches reflecting the moon is oblique, and the shadow falls on the screen. Like three whirling flowers, only two are empty flowers. " It is said that Shen Shi's poem "Two empty flowers make a poem unpredictable" (a flower for Shen Shi died soon, and a flower for Shen Shi's handmaid died soon).
