Chapter 2197
Chapter 2199 The Fight of Flowers (107)
Smallpox was once called "生肉" and is said to be brought back by soldiers who went out to fight, and later it was called "pea 肉". The term smallpox appeared recently, taken from a Buddhist term, referring to "天天生肉, fairy scattered flowers". Auspicious things may be a way to express the condition in a tactful way. Europeans lack the patience of the Chinese, and the name for smallpox comes directly from the Latin variola, which means infectious diseases.
Whether it is a euphemism that comforts people or a direct statement that scares people, it expresses bad news.
In the seventh year of Qianlong, a strange disease occurred in a village near JYG. First, it was hot all over, and it was as hot as a soldering iron. Then the bones began to grow outward quickly, piercing the elbows, knees, bear sugar and throat, and the death was terrible. It is said that this disease was first brought by a groom and a chef. They went to Yinchuan to repair the Ningxia water conservancy project that was damaged by the earthquake in the third year of Qianlong.
The government ordered the spread of rumors and sent troops to isolate the people in the village. Later, people discovered that not everyone would die if they had this disease, and some people stopped growing and cured without medicine after they had some bulges under their skin.
After about two years, no one died of such a strange disease. When the war between Qianlong and Junggar began, the soldiers withdrew, and the villagers no longer stayed in the original village and were separated.
This is a legend that the imam heard when he was studying in Lingzhou, Gansu in his early years. It was like the various "secret news" heard by the juren in the palace. Some people call it "secret history". However, the real history should be the historical materials compiled by the emperor, but not written into the official history. The rumors and rumors spread by the palace maids and eunuchs themselves are no different from folk legends, and they are all added fuel to the fire.
By the way, the imam hoped that Nick could appear from the northwest, rather than from the tiger killer, and head north to Russia to return to Europe. Nick agreed to his request, and he was still looking for the ancient plant mentioned by the word "王", hoping that it did not refer to "that kind" plant.
The fifth day of the fifth month is the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, we should drink realgar wine, eat rice dumplings and salted duck eggs, but the Governor's Office of Nanhe ignored it because of the chaotic chaos. On the sixth day of the sixth month is the Tianzhao Festival, which is a festival for washing, drying, and enjoying lotus. This custom originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties. That day was originally a birthday for Cui Fujun. Because he was a clean official during his lifetime, he became the confidant of King Yama after his death, became the judge Cui, and became the number one figure in the underworld. He was wearing a red robe, holding a life and death book and soul-catching pen in his hand, standing beside Yan Luo.
The way to pass in the Qing Palace was that the Luanyi Guards took out all the Luanyi ceremonial guards to dry. This was not only for the festival, but also for the emperor to set off for Rehe.
The fear of smallpox by the Manchu emperors made them build the smallpox temple in the palace. This is the goddess of acne worship among the people. What's more, the summer heat of BJ is unbearable. Meeting Mongolian princes in Rehe not only saves the "tiring and exhaustion of boats" but also plays a role in isolation. During the Shangyuan Festival held by BJ, the princes who have never had acne will not be invited.
The lotus flowers in Qingyan Garden are also about to bloom. Juren said that on the Zhongyuan Festival every year, people will set lotus lanterns in Guanghua Temple in Shichahai, and a lot of lotus flowers are planted in Qianhai.
He had never thought before that he had taken "Xiren" to Guanghua Temple to set up lotus lanterns. At that time, many people went in pairs.
Nick discovered that there was a tradition of worshiping tigers in the local area. The size of the South China tiger may not be as big as that of the Siberian tiger, but it can also be fatal to the tea pickers. It is also possible that Wu Song killed a South China tiger, and the tigers in the Tiger City were all Siberian tigers. They could tie it with them with bare hands and fists. Only then did the "Tiger-Fuing Arhat" gain recognition and was named the host of Nihua Temple by the emperor.
People in the wild think that sunset and sunrise are like two charming women. You yearn for them, but you cannot possess them at the same time, so they will not blindly chase the sun like Kuafu.
The story of Kuafu chasing the sun is recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Northern Classic", and the country of Zhuzeng, which was judged by Nick as a close relative of the Xiaoyang tribe, is also in that volume.
Could it be that some monts were raised by the Jurchens after eating the turtle shade, just like tigers in the tiger city, and then one of them ran out?
In the forty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Baoyu and others took a boat to Hengwuyuan. Jia Baoyu got off the boat after discussing the topic of "breaking lotus leaves". He felt gloomy and bone-bone at the port. However, it was autumn, which happened to meet the scenery. Compared to the fear brought by the mandrill, the story of "黑黑黑黑" even when summer approaches, it makes people feel cold all over their bones.
He remembered the monk he met at Faxing Temple, and the poem he read: The ancestor saved me from the world, and the iron tree blossomed and began to see spring. The transformation and reincarnation reincarnation reincarnation, and rebirth. If you want to know that there is color and you still find color, you must know that there is invisible but tangible. Color is empty and color is color, and the color must be clear.
That is the story recorded in "Warning and Awakening Words" in the late Ming Dynasty. The legendary poem was written by Xu Xian. He finally chose to become a monk. He did not reunite with Xu Xian as in folk legends, and he also reunited with the children they gave birth to.
It is precisely because of this story that Juren has inspiration. Lan Ruo means "Shi". Lan Ruo Temple is a temple. It is really nonsense. In this fictional place, there is a thousand-year-old tree spirit living. She controls female ghosts such as Nie Xiaoqian, allowing them to seduce passers-by and absorb their spirits.
In that story book, the magic flower would drill vines into people's ears, smash the internal organs and bones inside, leaving behind human skin, and the human skin would become exactly the same as those Jurchen soldiers who broke into Shanhaiguan.
Some well-crafted paper-making artists will make paper men the same as real people, but they only look like humans on the outside and are "empty" inside, so are the "corpses" that people carry away in the temples really "physical"?
This sounds like a god and ghost story, but is it possible that a ghost can escape the backlash of shadows. It is like that tree spirit, and needs to absorb the flesh and blood of passers-by?
The monks were afraid of it, but they could not get rid of it, so they had to get together.
It is unknown whether there is a beautiful female ghost "Nie Xiaoqian", and no one knows how big the "tree" is. There is a thousand-year-old Bodhi in the courtyard of Faxing Temple. It turned into purple vine flowers that night, and there is a woman who looks very much like Wanning playing the flute under the tree.
Wanning can't play the flute, which Nick asked about. She felt that the sound of the flute was like "the fox cried at night", which is the sound of the fox crying at night.
Of course, we all hope that "monsters" can be as cute as fox fairies. Many scholars who failed the exam regard "fox fairies" as their fantasy concubines. Some people believe that they can transform into human forms, and then there is a situation where the juren's friends are trapped by students.
They do not think they are wrong, but instead feel that they have taken down a pedantic and hypocritical disguise. As the stories of these literati relieve loneliness spread, people began to believe in "fox fairies" and believed that they would cure diseases. There are secret folk religions of worshiping fox fairies in the capital, and even in the palace.
Those eunuchs lost gambling and owed a lot of debts. How can they have money to treat themselves?
When they went to the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Doctors served the emperor, civil and military ministers and nobles. Once these people were infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable.
There is also a disease called heart disease in the palace. There is a guard who is on duty outside the Jingshan wall inside Xi'an Gate. He complained that the meals his colleague cooked that day were not delicious. There was also an imperial kitchen in the palace, but they would not cook for the guardian gate, and then the colleague fell ill.
The last time Nick saw a madman chasing a child with a kitchen knife in Guangzhou, the scene was similar at that time. However, although the juren was frightened and avoided, the guards did not hide. They still took some time to subdue him.
That place was close to the "Guande Hall" in Jingshan, which was used by Emperors of the Qing Dynasty for sacrifices and related religious rituals. Later, the guard was sentenced to 100 strokes.
Those Jurchens who "destroyed" the enemy found that the "corpse" lying on the ground was exactly the same as themselves, but the inside was empty.
A drum instrument also needs to be covered with a layer of skin. Only when the drumstick hits it will make a "dongdong" sound. If the skin is not empty, it will make another sound, similar to a high-five. The storyteller and the official in the lobby have a gavel, and they also wake up the wood, raised it high, and slapped the table with a "bang".
Different "awakening wood" have different functions. Officials use it to keep the hall quiet, while storytellers attract the attention of the audience. He wants to "vernacular" a story, or continue to tell what he said in the last time.
Or it means the end of a paragraph. If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown.
