"The heaven and earth have righteousness, and are mixed and endowed with fluid shapes. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars. To people, it is said to be vast, and it is so vast that it blocks the sky. The imperial road is clear to the barbarian, and the palace is open to the Ming Dynasty. The time is at the end of the season.
See them one by one: the Taishi slips of Qi, Dong Hubi of Jin, Zhang Liangzhi of Qin, Su Wujie of Han; the head of General Yan, the blood of Ji Shizhong, the teeth of Zhang Sui, the tongue of Yan Changshan; or the hat of Liaodong.

The cauldron is as sweet as stuffing, but you can't get it if you ask for it. There is a ghost fire in the underworld, and it is dark in the spring courtyard. The cows are on the same soap, and the chickens roost and the phoenixes eat. Once it is covered with fog and dew, it is divided into barren ditches. If it is cold and hot again, it will be a hundred years.
Since the establishment of Yi, it is sad to be in the field. For my peaceful and happy country, how can there be other mistakes and cleverness? Yin and Yang cannot be thieved. I am dedicated to this. I look up at the white floating clouds. I am worried for a long time. The sky has its peak. The day of the wise man is far away. The punishment is
In the old days, books were spread out on the wind eaves, and the ancient roads illuminated their colors."
Wang Xiyuan was sitting in a sedan chair, reciting poems and lyrics all the way. This "Song of Righteousness" is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation by Wen Tianxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Wen Tianxiang: (1236 AD to 1283 AD), his first name was Yunsun, his given name was Tianxiang, his given name was changed to Song Rui, and his given name was Lushan. His nickname was Wenshan. He was from Ji'an (now the name of Jiangxi County). He passed the exam in the fourth year of Baoyou's reign (1256), Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty.
The first Jinshi, he served successively as a punishment in Hunan, and knew Ganzhou. In the first year of Emperor Gong Deyou (AD 1275), the Yuan soldiers crossed the river. Wen Tianxiang raised troops to serve the king. Faced with a crisis, he was ordered to go to the Yuan camp to negotiate peace. He was detained for resolutely resisting, and later took the risk to escape.
, supported Zhao Gang, the king of Yi, went to Fujian to recruit soldiers, marched into Jiangxi, and restored many prefectures and counties. Later, he was defeated and captured to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. In the end, he was killed for his unyielding and wrote to the Duke of the country.
Dakui was riding on his horse and heard Wang Xiyuan's poems, most of which were impassioned poems. He couldn't help but sigh, "We haven't reached the end yet, but Mr. Wang is reciting some passionate poems to strengthen his courage. It's really useless."
He's a scholar," Dakui thought it was funny. If reciting some clichés worked, why would Ming soldiers go to war? They could just bring a group of scholars to defeat the enemy with poetry.
Anyway, having nothing to do, Dakui was also attracted by Wang Xiyuan's poetry, but he couldn't remember a complete poem. Although Dakui was not good at writing, he was still quite quick-witted. He couldn't read poems but he could change them.
After a moment, Dakui loudly chanted: "Li Bai didn't pay for the boat ride. The boatman kicked him off the boat. The water in Peach Blossom Beach is a thousand feet deep. I don't know if Li Bai is dead or not."
This poem immediately made everyone burst into laughter, as if the pain of traveling all the way had become much lighter. Sitting in the soft sedan chair, Wang Xiyuan not only shook his head secretly, but also muttered in his mouth: "Hey, the words are crude and insulting to the gentlemen.
ah,"
Dakui didn't care about being polite, he just enjoyed himself. He rode his horse in front of the team and sang "Eighteen Touches" loudly. Along the way, birds and sparrows flew away from the nearby mountains, and a female animal from the other side of the mountain had a hard time giving birth.
After traveling for more than two months, we entered the territory of Jiangxi, passed Guangxin Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Qing'an Prefecture, Chenzhou Prefecture, and Yongzhou Prefecture, and then headed west to Guilin. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Guilin had close contacts with the Central Plains. During the Qin and Han Dynasties,
, Guilin is an important passage from the Central Plains to Lingnan. Guilin's landscape has beautiful and handsome features, majestic momentum, magnificent postures, implicit and profound meanings, and is full of poetic and painting taste. It was already a world-famous scenery in the mid-Tang Dynasty.
It is a scenic spot, and the saying "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" has been passed down to this day. Dakui has heard of its name for a long time but has never seen it. Since he is passing through this place this time, he should visit it.
The team crossed the Li River and headed west, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.
Every time Da Kui expressed his admiration, the entourage could not help but feel like they were covered in chicken skin. Master Zhang was really sharp in his words. When he saw the steep peaks and green mountains, he sighed with emotion: "Oh, there are Bianzui here (Shandong dialect: ducks are called Bianzui)." ) is not a great place.
When he saw the water of the Li River, he actually said that he would go fishing when he had some free time. Not only that, he spoke loudly every time, causing his rough words to echo in the distant mountains.
After traveling for several days, the team of carriages and horses arrived at a small town called Xiangshan Town. The scenery here is unique, but the town got its name from the mountain, which is called Elephant Trunk Mountain.
Elephant Trunk Mountain is located on the edge of the Li River, at the outlet of the Taohua River. The trunk of the elephant extends right into the Li River, resembling a divine elephant drinking from the river. Elephant Trunk Mountain is world-famous, but Pheasant Mountain not far from it is rarely known. Speaking of which, there is an amazing fairy tale.
One day, two monsters, one big and one small, came to Guilin. The little one rode on the big one. The little one called himself "Pheasant and Phoenix" and the big one was called "Elephant". The people of Guilin had never seen these two monsters before. , all ran out to watch the fun.
The pheasant demon sneered and patted the elephant's head gently. The elephant stretched out its long trunk, rolled up an old man, and threw him into the Li River in the distance. People suddenly felt that a disaster was coming and closed their doors one after another.
The pheasant demon laughed loudly and said: "From now on, I will be the king of Guilin. If anyone disobeys, I will ask the elephant to eat him." Then he asked the elephant to pull up trees, destroy fields, and flood rivers. Everything was fine. The city of Guilin was turned into a mess by two goblins. This scene made Old Man Shan, who turned into an old horse herder, panic and hurriedly ran to call Chang'e.
Chang'e said angrily: "Where did you come from, a monster, and you dare to come and act tyrannically?"
The pheasant demon said: "If I don't show you anything today, you don't know my advantages and disadvantages." After saying this, he conjured thirty-six hands and carried eighteen weapons, and attacked Chang'e. Chang'e fought with the pheasant demon for several seconds. After a round, the pheasant demon realized that he was outmatched, so he got into the ground and ran away.
The pheasant demon found the elephant and saw the elephant taking a bath in the Li River. He was so angry that he cursed: "I almost lost my life. If you don't help me in the fight, you are just having fun here. You will kill me with your anger." Then he pulled out his whip and beat him hard. The elephant's skin was torn, and Chang'e chased after it. The pheasant demon turned into a golden light and fled away. Chang'e found Ganoderma lucidum and let the elephant eat it, and the elephant's injured body recovered.
The elephant was very grateful to Chang'e for saving his life. He thought about the many bad things he had done with the pheasant demon in the past and decided to change his past. So he decided to stay in Guilin and use his good deeds to wash away his sins. It plowed the fields in the spring. Fighting the drought in the summer and harvesting the grain in the autumn, he finally won people's trust and love. The pheasant demon came to Guilin the next year. When he saw the elephant actually helping the people to work, he yelled: "You are such a loser. You can eat and drink with me." You are so majestic, but you are here to be a slave! Come with me." At this time, the elephant was no longer what it used to be. It refused to leave. After hearing the news, people came and surrounded the pheasant demon, cursing: "Devil, get out! Get out! Stay far away, we don’t want to see you,”
The pheasant demon was so angry that he whipped out his whip and beat the common people until their heads were bruised and bloody. The elephant got angry, threw out its proboscis, rolled up the pheasant demon and threw it into a toilet in Guangdong.
The pheasant demon never expected that the elephant would hit its master, so he decided to vent his anger. After he returned to Guilin, there was a severe drought in Guilin, and the people were fighting the drought. The elephant was stretching its proboscis into Shuiyuetan, sucking up the water. When the water came, it sprayed on the crops. The pheasant demon took the opportunity to secretly pull out his sharp sword, rode up on the clouds, and came to the top of the elephant's head. He stabbed the elephant's back suddenly, and the sword passed through the elephant's belly and stabbed into the ground. The elephant was firmly nailed to the spot and could not move. When Chang'e saw this scene, she picked up the demon mirror and took a look. She saw a golden light falling from the sky, and the pheasant demon was smashed to death behind the elephant.
Later, both the elephant and the pheasant demon turned into stone mountains, namely Xiangshan Mountain and Pheasant Mountain respectively. The pagoda on Xiangshan Mountain was the hilt left by the pheasant demon when it pierced the elephant. People regard Xiangshan Mountain as the symbol of Guilin, and Pheasant Mountain is no longer the symbol of Guilin. No one remembers it. Chang'e's demon mirror hit a pheasant demon and broke into seven petals. The people hung it on the mountainside of Mount Putuo, and it became the famous Seven Star Rock.
Da Kui listened with great interest to the local people telling the story of Elephant Trunk Mountain. He felt that the story was quite meaningful. If you sacrifice yourself for the people, you will naturally be loved by the people. If you do too much injustice, you will surely suffer the consequences.
At nightfall, Dakui came alone outside the camp and looked at the outline of Elephant Trunk Mountain in the dark night. He couldn't help but have endless reveries in his heart. The bright moon was in the sky, reflecting the Lijiang River and the gurgling water. The meaning was similar. If we talk about the land of abundance, this place is comparable to Taihu Lake. The beauty is beyond compare.
Da Kui was looking at the scenery and sighing, but he faintly saw a person standing by the river not far away. The situation was similar to his own. He also felt that he was near the river. It took several months for the carriage and horse team to reach this place. People and horses were exhausted, except for the soldiers on guard duty, the rest went to bed early. At this moment, Dakui was alone and felt bored. This time he saw someone going out for a hike at night. Dakui suddenly felt that this person was very close to him, so he entered the camp. , brought a jar of fine wine, which was rice wine that Dakui bought from the local people. It was a beautiful thing to enjoy the night view and have a drink with such beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day.
Dakui walked slowly to the riverside, pretending to be nonchalant and walked toward the person on the riverside. He glanced at the person inadvertently. He was wearing a plain white robe and already looked thin. However, a light blue cloth tied around his waist made him look so thin. The man is even more delicate, and he looks like a Confucian scholar in his dress. Originally, Dakui didn't know much about the customs and customs of this place, but seeing the beautiful mountains and clear waters, Dakui couldn't help but think of the old saying: There are outstanding people in such a beautiful place, and there are well-educated people. Not surprising.
The man in front of me is a scholar at first glance. People say that he is poor in literature but rich in martial arts. He is so poor. He must be so thin because he has been starved of food all year round. But it doesn’t matter whether he is fat or thin, as long as he can drink. , Dakui didn't think anything else and just walked to the man's side.
"This brother is so elegant," Dakui said hello first.
When the thin Confucian scholar saw Da Kui, he quickly bowed his hands and said, "Brother, I'm so polite."
"Hahaha, wouldn't it be nice to be accompanied by fine wine on a moonlit night on the Li River," Dakui said with a smile.
The Confucian scholar was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You and I have never met each other, why are you like this?"
Dakui smiled again and said: "It's necessary to know each other before we meet. Once we meet, it is fate. It is a big sin not to share the fine wine with others."
"Brother, what you said is quite interesting," the Confucian scholar nodded and smiled.
Since it was getting late and the Confucian scholar had his back to the moonlight, Dakui could not see clearly what this person looked like. However, Dakui was quite interested at this time and just wanted to find someone to drink with him. He immediately opened the wine seal: "This is the local rice wine. I don't know how it tastes. Please invite me first, brother."
