Xia Xia Liaozhai: Of course I'm a ghost, I just came to have a good time with you
It's probably raining again all night, and it hasn't stopped yet. There was a lot of traffic, and you could still hear the sound of thunder. No matter how new it is today, the weather is still old, and it has something in common with the title of "Liao Zhai" I watched last night: the mountains and the wilderness, the green lights are cold and quiet. My soul is also lost in the ghost story.
I watched the 1987 version of Liaozhai. At the beginning of the film, a dimly lit lantern walked towards a deeper depth, and the soundtrack was like a ghost crying. For the first time, I didn't dare to continue reading, but I couldn't help being curious, so I found a book to read.
When I was a child, I watched the stories of Nie Xiaoqian, Yingning, Xin Shishiniang, Xiaocui and other fox demons and ghosts on TV. I just remember that they were all beautiful, kind-hearted, and the ending was good. Infatuation tragedy. But apart from the textbooks on Ventilator, Promoting Weaving, Mountain City, etc., I haven't read Liaozhai. The last time I had an idea, I only read the article "Kao Chenghuang", and it was over. This time, it was because I remembered the mood of watching Liaozhai when I was a child, and maybe this desire will last a little longer.
After reading more than ten short stories, I felt that Liaozhai is good, suitable for summer reading, and cool. I got acquainted with some monsters and ghosts, and saw how they tricked people, how they had lingering feelings with people, but also felt that corpse transformation, mandrill, and biting ghosts were not scary, even with the title of the 1987 version of Liaozhai, it seemed like a lantern made of human skin, ghostly. No longer afraid of walking in the deep forest. Liaozhai is designed to scare people, don't think of yourself as a human being, just think of yourself as one of the goblins and ghosts. They go down the mountain to make fun of people, and you follow along, how can ghosts be afraid of ghosts?
It is only one of the reasons that it is cool to read Liaozhai in summer, and the second is that it is easy to dream in summer. The whole Liaozhai is all kinds of idiots, dreaming all kinds of dreams.
"A Bao" is about the six-fingered scholar's grandson Chu, who is willing to cut off a finger to prove his sincerity in order to marry the beautiful Miss A Bao. After getting what he wanted, under the persuasion of his wife, he studied hard in the cold window and got the first place in the exam. Both of these are the dreams of a scholar, but "I'm fascinated and can't move" is a little more weird, making the impossible wish finally come true.
The story is different when it comes to "Axiu". Fifteen-year-old Liu Zigu went to his uncle's house to play, and met Axiu, the daughter of the owner of the grocery store, who was naturally beautiful and unparalleled, so he fell in love with him, and made a promise before returning home that he would look good when the plums were ripe. )Come. Axiu replied: Plum is my favorite. You have to come early. This is the line of the 1987 version of Liaozhai. The plot of the marriage agreement is also found in the play. The original text did not say this, but said:
The accumulation of half a month was observed by the servant, and the Yin and the uncle wanted to return. Uncomfortable. With all the xiangpazhi powder and other kinds in the market, they are kept in a closet, and when no one is there, every household picks it up and thinks about it.
It looked more like a dream. The woman whom I missed when I was fifteen years old may not be seen for the rest of my life. But it is clever that there are actually fox immortals in the world, who play tricks on you, startle you, and do what you want.
When Liu Zigu became sick with thoughts and looked at what he looked like, the fox fairy came, and turned into the appearance of Axiu in memory, and he was happy with Liu Zigu. It seems that cultivating a human body is just a matter of picturing the world. This section can be described as a typical Liao Zhai bridge section. This section is quiet, the ghost of the fox, and the son is fascinated by it. Wisdom is often those humble servants and the like. The old servant of the son's family is as shrewd as the Tathagata Buddha who can distinguish the true and false from the Sun Wukong. What happened was a ghost.
Seeing through the truth that night, I originally thought that there might be "add oil and vinegar" in the play, showing the fox fairy so open-minded and cheerful, but I didn't expect that it was actually written like this in the original text:
When the girl arrived in the evening, she said to Liu: "You know you are suspicious, but the concubine has no him, but it's just a matter of time." Before the words were finished, the servants rushed in. The girl said, "You can give up the soldiers! When you come with wine, you should say goodbye to Ruozhu." Liu Yi was frightened and forced a wine meal. The female chatted and laughed as usual, raised her hand to Liu and said, "Your Majesty's concerns, the generals' plans are meager, why do you fight the Rong? Although the concubine is not Axiu, she is quite self-deprecating. Does the king see it as before?" Liu Mao said. Vertical, silent. The woman listened to the leak three times, sipped the cup, stood up and said, "I'll go, and after the candle, I will compare the pros and cons with the bride." Then she turned around.
I don't know if it is really for the sake of "comparing with the bride", the fox fairy cast spells to make Liu Zigu and Axiu reunite, and it really makes the dream come true. After that, I continued to play some tricks, but it was also a necessary part of Liaozhai, which was harmless. It's like the author came up with another gadget and made a trick by the way, all the officials laughed.
Why is "Axiu" different? Liu Zigu stopped reading. The original text was not written. In the play, Liu Zigu and his mother said: I stopped studying and wanted to do business. After thinking for a while, my mother agreed. I don't know how many articles in Liaozhai wrote about studying hard and hoping to gain fame, but the feeling I read recently is this: Why do I take the test again.
My favorite one I read recently is "Snake Man". It tells that there was a snake tamer in Dongjun who kept two green snakes named Daqing and Erqing. Daqing died a few years later, and Erqing disappeared. Every time the snake man went to the forest and grass, he would look for it subconsciously, hoping that Erqing would come back, and then he really got his wish. Erqing also brought back a small snake, the snake man named Xiaoqing. From then on, "showing off your skills in all directions, making no profit".
In general, the snake-man's approach to snakes is only two feet as the rate. If it is too large, it will be too heavy, and it will be easier to get rid of it. After another two or three years, it was more than three feet long, and the sleeping hut was full, so I decided to leave it. One day, I went to the east mountain of Ziyi, and I fed them with beautiful bait and wished them away. After going, it will return in a short time, winding outside. The snake man waved and said, "Go away! There is no feast that lasts for a hundred years in the world. From now on, if you hide in the valley, you must become a dragon. How can you live in the hut for a long time?" The snake went away, and the snake man watched him. It has come back, lingering, touching with the first touch. Xiaoqing was in the middle, and also trembled. Snake Man Wu said: "Do you want to say goodbye to Xiaoqing?" Xiaoqing walks out, and it seems to be telling each other because he is talking to each other.
This part is the most touching. There is a feast that lasts a hundred years in the world. After hiding in the valley, you will definitely become a dragon. How can you live in the middle for a long time? Later, the snake man returned Xiaoqing to the forest and reunited with Erqing.
When the two snakes met, they were intertwined like caramel, and they started after a long time. The Snake Man asked Xiaoqing, "I've wanted to say goodbye to you for a long time, and now I have a company." He said to Erqing, "The original gentleman has brought him here, but he can still be taken away."
There are few harmful spirits in Liao Zhai stories. Those who don't show their emotions or tell their stories just come to scare people and leave. "The Girl in Green" even stated from the beginning that of course I am not human, but I will not eat you, just to have a good time with you, would you like to?
"Yuewei Caotang Notes" also said: I heard that there was a village girl, who was thirteen or fourteen years old and was attracted by a fox, just like a husband and wife, but the girl was not crazy, nor was she sick, and her diet and daily life were like ordinary people, and the girl was very at ease. Huheng gave money, rice, cloth, and silk, which was enough for the family, and made hairpins, hairpins, and clothes for women, as well as quilts and pillows, which were worth hundreds of gold. The father-in-law is also very at ease. So after the year, the fox suddenly called out to his daughter's father and said, "I will return to the mountain, and your daughter's hut is also a little ready, but I am in a hurry to find a good husband. I will not come again." Your daughter is still perfect, no doubt I will always give up.
I just came to have a relationship with you, but now the fate is over, I want to go back, you will live a good life in the future.
