Pu Songling probably started writing Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio when he was a private school teacher after separation. His good friend Zhang found that Pu Songling's writing of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio influenced the examinee, so he wrote a poem to persuade him to stop writing novels and concentrate on the exam. But Pu Songling didn't listen, but wrote. No matter what anecdotes a friend hears, he should learn about them and write them in his own works.
2. Pu Songling's wife Liu is very virtuous. When Pu Songling went out to be a tutor, his wife supported the elderly at home and brought home the bacon, living in a desolate farmhouse. At night, the wolf may run into the yard, and she will spin all night. She always keeps anything delicious for Pu Songling, and sometimes it goes bad after a long time.
Such a good wife is a dross wife of daily necessities. So some experts who studied Pu Songling found a clue that Pu Songling had a second wife. What is the basis?
In Pu Songling's anthology, there is an inscription about the portrait of Chen Shuqing. The article says: The author of the article and Chen Shuqing are free to fall in love, but their parents don't agree. Finally, the two eloped, and then it was tragic.
But it was quickly verified by experts that Chen Shuqing was an article written by Pu Songling to a man named Wang in the Wangjiaguan of Quanfeng Township in Zichuan after his return from the south, so that Pu Songling's so-called second wife no longer existed.
Pu Songling was very clever when he was a child. This year, Pu Songling's grandfather Pu invited Liu Tiezui, a famous local geomancer, to show him the land and build a grave for himself. Coming to the southeast slope of Liu Quan, Liu Tiezui said that it is backed by Hongshan and facing Liu Quan, which is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. He also said that if Pu Yu Sheng was buried in this cave after his death, his fourth generation of grandchildren would have a generation of Wen Kui.
Pu Yu Sheng was very dissatisfied when he heard about it, and it was not until the great-grandchildren occupied the cave tomb. I was hesitating when Pu Songling said, "Grandpa, what is the fourth generation afraid of? If my grandfather's grave was moved to this cave, wouldn't Wen Kui be born in my generation? " Before Pu could answer, Liu Tiezui pointed to Pu Songling and said to Pu, "All right, Pu Weng, come out, your grandson is it!"
Pu Songling's father, Pu Yun, is also a well-known local scholar. He is humorous by nature and often meets some scholars. It is inevitable to tease each other when chatting. One day, scholar Li Daosheng visited Pu Yun, and eight-year-old Pu Songling made tea for his guests with boiling water. Puyun and Li Daosheng talked for a while, and then they had a good time.
Li Daosheng said: "One year there was a flood, a piece of Wang Yang was flooded, and the wells in the village were also inverted. After the flood receded, people went to fetch water and found that the well was full of toads-all toads! " Li Daosheng say that finish, just burst out laughing. Pujiazhuang was originally named Manjingzhuang. The implication of this sentence is that all Beijing villages are toads.
Before Pu Yun could figure out how to respond, he heard Pu Songling say: The day before yesterday, my second uncle's cow gave birth to a calf, and all the other calves were born with their heads down first and their tails down again. I don't want my uncle's calf to be born, but my husband gave birth to a cow's head.
I asked my second uncle why, and he said,' It's natural to give birth to a cow with the head down first and the tail down later. The calf lowered its tail first, and then lowered its head. It's upside down (Dao Sheng)!
In a word, Li Daosheng patted Pu Songling's little head with joy and repeatedly praised: "This child is so smart at an early age, and his future is limitless!"
5. Pu Songling's neighbor Li was drunk and fought with others, killing each other by mistake. County local history led a group of autopsy and officials to come to autopsy and arrest people. Fang Dianshi is a famous brutal official in the county. He wanted to rip off for a long time, but he never succeeded.
This time, Li Da killed people by accident. Fang Dianshi thought it was a godsend, so he asked the chief to take Pu Yun to the county government as a witness to extort money. Pu Yun was angry, but said, "What do I care if Li Da kills people?"
Fang Dianshi said savagely, "Li Da is your neighbor. How can you say it has nothing to do with you? " Pu Yun wanted to defend himself, but suddenly he saw Pu Songling squeezing out of the crowd. He took his hand and said, "Dad, go and have a look. The house next to Wang Jiujia in the west is on fire!" "
Fang Dian was about to escort a group of prisoners back to the official residence. Seeing a child running in to make trouble, he shouted, "What does a fire in the west have to do with your family?" Get out of here! "Pu Songling immediately said," Sir, what does my family have to do with killing people in the East? "Say that finish, he went home with Pu Yun.
Fang Dianshi was speechless when asked, so he had to watch them go home.
