original order

The text contains the Tao, and Confucians can't say it. Dao, how deep and unfathomable secrets are not passed on like the heart seal of Buddhism and the formula of Taoism! Of course everything is the way it is. Therefore, the Tao is in the heaven and the earth, like mercury pouring out of the earth, and the particles are all round; like the moon reflecting on the water, it can be seen everywhere. As big as governing the country and pacifying the world, as small as one thing, one thing, one move and one word, it doesn't matter. The text is one end of the Tao. The greatest of the texts are the six classics, which are sent by the solid way. Descending into the history of the dynasties, descending into the books of the masters, descending into the collection of the hundred clans, this is one end of the text, and its words are enough to make it clear. Going down again to barnyard officials' novels seems to have nothing to do with the Tao. However, "Han Shu·Yiwenzhi" is listed as a family, and the bibliography of the past dynasties is also recorded. Isn't it because although there are not many absurd and absurd ones, they are close to the right ones, and they are not without benefits in the human mind and the world. Mr. Hejian is held in high esteem by the world for his scholarly articles, but he is solitary by nature. Therefore, in addition to retreating from food, I only cherished the classics, and when I was old, I was too lazy to research and search. "Luanyang Xiaoxialu "Wait Five Books, the mouth is strange and strange, and everything is contained; the mouth is unrestrained, and everything is said. Therefore, in the book that teaches lust and guides desire, those who are good and talented, although they are humble for a while, eventually disappear into oblivion. And in the book of Mr., the pear and jujube are repeatedly engraved, and it is not tired for a long time. There are a lot of people who read and engraved, and there are many mistakes and mistakes, and there are rash goals such as the moment of Mingren>Lengzhai Night Talks, the readers are sick. Shi Yansu traveled with Mr., and tasted the engraving of Mr. Gu Huang's Listening to the Book, with a postscript at the end of the book, which Mr. You have not seen all the boards, so I asked Mr. Yu to combine the five books into one compilation, and each of them still retains its original chapter. The camp lamp hand school did not dare to worry about it, and asked the gentleman to inspect it and then copy it. Although it is not necessary to pass on the works of Mr. Yu at this moment, the mistakes of Yu and Lu are less than the original aspirations of Mr. to teach the world, or there is no small complement of Yuner, Jiaqing, Geng and Shen in August.

Yuewei Cottage Notes Volume 1 Luanyang Xiaoxia Record 1

In the summer of Qianlong Jiyou year, I was engaged in official business in Luanyang because of the arrangement of the royal collection. At that time, the calibration had already been completed, and it was only signed by the inspectors and officials. The day is long, and I have nothing to do, so I recite past experiences, and record what I remember, without any method. Novel barnyard officials, self-awareness has nothing to do with writing; street talk may be beneficial to persuasion. Therefore, temporarily hand over the copy of Xu Yulu and store it under the name "Luanyang Xiaoxialu".

According to Hu Yushi Muting, a person in his hometown raised a pig. When he saw the neighbor old man, he glared at him and became angry. He rushed over to bite him, but when he saw other people, this was not the case. At first, the neighbor man was very angry and thought about it. Buy pigs, kill them and eat them to relieve the hatred in their hearts. Afterwards, he suddenly woke up and said: Could this be the grievances mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures? There is no resentment in the world that cannot be resolved. The old man bought the pig at a good price, sent it to the Buddhist temple, and raised it as a "long-lived pig". From then on, when the pig saw the old man, he pulled his ears close to him, not as fierce as he used to be. I have seen a picture of a tiger subdued by Sun Zhong. Li Yan, a Brazilian, wrote a poem on the day: "A man rides a fierce tiger like a unicorn. How can Ibn be tame? Deed. To protect the heart of gold and stone together, do nothing to fear." This poem can be used as an explanation for this story.

Cangzhou Liu Shiyu had a study in his family, which was occupied by fox spirits. This vixen talks to people during the day, throws tiles and stones to hit people, but just can't see its shape. Pingyuan Dong Siren, who served as the governor of the state, was a good official. After he heard about this, he went to exorcise the fox spirit in person. Just as he was talking about the difference between people and demons, suddenly the roof said loudly: "You are an official who loves the people very much, and you don't take money, so I don't dare to hit you. But you love the people for a good reputation. , I'm afraid of future troubles if I don't make money, so I won't avoid you. Don't say more, so as not to ask for trouble." Dong returned in a panic, feeling unhappy for several days. Liu has a maid who is very stupid. She is not afraid of the fox spirit, and the fox spirit does not hit her. Someone asked about this when talking to the fox spirit, and the fox spirit said: "Although she is a lowly servant, she is a truly filial woman. When Wei Shen sees her, he still wants to retreat, let alone my generation. !" Liu asked the maid to live in this room, and the fox spirit left on the same day.

Mr. Aitang said that he heard that an old schoolboy was traveling at night when he suddenly met his dead friend. The old pedant has an upright temperament and is not afraid, so he asks his dead friend where he is going. The deceased friend replied: "I was on duty in the underworld, and I went to Nancun to hook people, and I happened to be on the same road as you." So the two walked together. In front of a dilapidated house, the ghost said, "This is my husband's house." The old pedant said how do you know? The ghost said: "Most people are so busy with their livelihoods during the day that they cover up their original spirituality. Only when they fall asleep, when they think about nothing, their spirituality is clear and bright. Every word of the books they have read radiates light in their hearts. A person's whole body orifices are illuminated. They are ethereal, colorful, and brilliant like rust. People with knowledge like Zheng Xuan, Kong Kouda, and essays like Qu Yuan, Song Yu, Ban Chao, and Sima Qian, the light radiates into the sky. , competing with the stars and the moon for brilliance; not as good as theirs, the light is a few feet high, or a few feet high, in descending order. The lowest person also has a faint light, like a small oil lamp, which can shine on doors and windows. Humans can't see it, only ghosts can see it. The light on this broken house is as high as seven or eight feet, so I know it's my husband's home." The old scholar asked, "I've read books all my life, how bright is the light when I fall asleep?" He hesitated for a long time before he said, "I went to your private school yesterday, and you were taking a nap. I saw a high-level sermon in your chest, five or six hundred ink scrolls, seventy or eighty scriptures, three or four The ten strategies, every word turned into black smoke, shrouded the roof. The reading voices of those students seemed to be sealed in thick clouds and mist. I really didnt see a ray of light, and I wont tell lies. The old scholar was angrily reprimanded. Ghost, ghost laughed and walked away.

Mr. Li Youdan from Dongguang once saw two poems inscribed in the corridor in the abandoned garden of Xiangguo in Wanping County. The first song reads: "The west wind blows through the lattice, Xiao Xiaoqiu is full of grass. The moonlight penetrates the cornices and sees half of the berries and moss." Yunxing. Sit on the railing and listen to the Qiaolou drum, and count to the fifth sound." The handwriting was dim and did not seem to be written by a human being.

Mr. Dong Qujiang's name is Yuandu, a native of Pingyuan. In the 17th year of Qianlong's reign, he entered the Hanlin Academy. After passing the screening test, he was changed to a magistrate magistrate, and then changed to a professor of government studies. When he was young, he dreamed that someone gave him a fan with three quatrains on it, saying: "Dong Cao drank a horse on the day of Tianchi Lake, and he knew it because of his literary talent in the Western Garden. In fact, his mood never changed, and the moonlight and flowers shadowed the flag." In the south of the city, there are horses, and there is a case of Chuiyang with red scales. The golden Qushu carves Hu Jin, and I dont believe in Chen Wangs eight fighting talents. "Xiao Gu Dongdong painted candle towers, who personally pressed Xiaokouzhou? A period of sorrow." Most of the sentences were difficult to understand, and finally they were not verified, so I couldn't figure out the reason.

The pacified Juren Wang Zhixin once went to Yulin with his father to take up his post. At night, he lived in front of the Lord Jing of a wild temple and heard someone muttering and talking above the Jing Pavilion, as if they were discussing poetry. Wang Zhixin was very surprised. There are not many people here, so why would anyone discuss poetry here? So I listened carefully, but I didn't hear the reason. Later, the voice became louder, and it was only heard clearly in the corridor. One person said: "Tang Yanqian's poems are not of high quality, but 'the grass and trees are suffocating, and the grass and trees are cold in the spring, it's a good sentence." , the wind, the sand, the wind and the yellow. If you dont go outside the customs in person, you wont see this kind of scene." The previous one added: I also wrote a couplet: the mountains are sinking, the air is merciless and blue, and the cold sound of the river is eternal in autumn. ." He himself thinks that these two poems are very appropriate to describe the scene of sunset in the border town. The two of them recited and admired together for a long time, and suddenly the bell in the temple rang, so the two stopped talking. After dawn, Wang Zhixin went to the Jing Pavilion to see, and saw that the door was locked, and the lock was covered with dust. Ren Zongzhen's name is Ju. In the end, I don't know who wrote the couplet poem "Moraine". The poet's soul grows and can get along with Ren Gong, probably not an ordinary ghost.

In Shangheya, south of Cangzhou, there was a rogue named Lu Si. Lu Si is a fierce and arrogant person, and he does everything bad. People are as afraid of him as they are afraid of tigers and wolves. One evening, Lu Si and a group of evil young men were enjoying the shade outside the village. Suddenly, a faint sound of thunder was heard, and the storm was imminent. Looking into the distance, I saw a young woman hurrying to hide in the ancient temple on the river bank to avoid the rain. Lu Si said to the villains, "We can rape her." Lu Si brought a group of evil young men to the front of the temple. He suddenly rushed into the temple and blocked the mouth of the young woman. All the evil youths stripped off the young woman's clothes and embraced rape. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot through the window lattice into the temple. Seeing that the young woman looked like his own wife, Lu Si hurriedly let go of her and asked her. Lu Shi was so angry that he wanted to drag his wife and throw her into the river to drown her. The wife cried out loudly, "You want to rape others and cause others to rape me. Tianli Zhaozhao, do you still want to kill me?" Chang Si had nothing to say, and hurriedly searched for the clothes, but the clothes had already drifted into the river with the wind. gone. Lu Si hesitated and thought hard, and had no choice but to go home with his naked daughter-in-law on his back. At that time, the rain was over, the sky was clear, and the moon was shining brightly. The embarrassment of Lu Si and his wife was clear. The whole village burst into laughter and rushed to ask them what was going on. Lu Si was speechless, and was so ashamed that he threw himself into the river. It turned out that Lu Si's wife returned to her parents' home, and she said she would only come back after staying for a month. Unexpectedly, her mother's house suffered a fire and there was no house to live in, so she returned early. Lu Si didn't know, which caused this difficulty. Later, Lu Si's wife dreamed that Lu Si came home to see her, and said to her: "I have sinned so much that I should go to the mud plow hell, and I will never be able to come out. Because serving my mother during my lifetime was considered filial piety, the officials in the underworld reviewed the archives. I have to suffer the body of a snake, and I am going to reincarnate now. Your step-husband will arrive soon, and you must serve your new in-laws well; the law of the underworld is the most serious crime of being unfilial, so dont jump into the soup pot of the underworld. On the day when his wife remarried, there was a red snake on the corner of the house peeping down with its head down, as if reluctant to part. The fourth wife Lu remembered the previous dream, and was about to raise her head to ask the snake, when she suddenly heard the sound of welcome drums coming from outside the door. The Chi Lian snake jumped a few times on the house and ran away quickly.
