2. Stories and legends

The legend of flour falling from the sky and falling snow. One winter, Luo Yin failed the imperial examination again. He was very depressed, and he was short of money, so he had to Earn a living by selling calligraphy in Chang'an Market. One day, he even ran out of money to buy ink sticks, so he wandered around. At noon, I was really hungry, so I walked into a store to beg for food. However, after entering several stores, the store owners all said as if they owed him more and paid him less in his previous life: "The imperial salary is increasing every day. I can't even finish a meal, you young lazy man, get out!" After Luo Yin walked out of the fourth snack bar, he raised his head and shouted to the sky: "Oh my God, what sin did I commit in my previous life? Oh, God, please give me some flour." Just as he finished speaking, he heard the north wind howling, and white flour suddenly fell from the gray sky. For a time, people on Chang'an Street took dustpans and brooms and went out of their houses to snatch the flour given by God. The bosses all held protective sticks in their hands, commanding their servants, "Hurry up! Hurry up!" Within ten minutes, the people grabbing flour began to fight, and suddenly, there was a chaos on the street. Slapstick chaos. At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers riding white horses came. They waved their whips in their hands and whipped them at the chaotic crowd. The leader of them shouted to everyone: "Listen, everyone, the flour falling from the sky is the imperial grain. You must give it all to us. Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy." Seeing this, Luo Yin regretted that he had opened the mouth of Chrysostom, and it was about to lead to a disaster. horrible disaster. So, he shouted to the sky: "Oh my god, I would rather be hungry, and the flour will be ready soon." It's amazing to say that with Luo Yin's words, the flour falling from the sky immediately turned into melting snow. It turns out that God misunderstood Luo Yin's "It's good to fall and rest" as "It's good to fall and snow".

Luo Yin's Xiucai It is said that Luo Yin was very talented in literature when he was young and could export poems. However, because his family was poor, he often had to go out to work as part-time workers to survive. One day near the Qingming Festival, he helped his employer farm, and there was a drizzle in the sky, so he ran back to his employer's room to eat snacks. His employer brought a pot of wine and a plate of rice. At this moment, three people came to his employer's house. Scholars, so the host invited them to dine together. The scholars looked down upon the young farm boy in front of them and deliberately raised difficult topics with Luo Yin, saying: "Faced with this situation, everyone might as well write a poem to express their feelings before they can do anything." If you can do it, you can eat it. If you don't do it, you can only stare." Luo Yin was secretly amused, but he said deliberately: "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Three. The scholar laughed proudly and said: "This is my rule before eating. Anyway, I have something to say first. If you can do it, you will have a full meal. Don't do it because it will make your mouth water." So one of them immediately waved his sleeves and sang first. : "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and scholars go to the countryside to look for poems. Eat some rice and drink a glass of wine, and you will definitely go to Longmen in the coming year!"

After hearing this, Luo Yin nodded and shook his head and said, "Noble man. He has great ambitions, but his talent is lacking." Before Luo Yin could finish his words, the second person couldn't wait to sing: "It's rainy during the Qingming Festival, and it's hard work for scholars to go to the countryside to worship their ancestors."< /p>

Luo Yin laughed out loud and said: "It turns out he is a fake filial son!" At this time, the third scholar could no longer hold himself back, so he waved his hands and read loudly: "The rain is falling during the Qingming Festival, scholar. I went to the countryside to visit Jiao Jiao. After eating and drinking, I found a beautiful house with gold hidden in it. Luo Yin said with a sneer: "Disrespectful, disrespectful." But he ignored Luo Yin's ridicule and kept urging him to write poems.

Luo Yin waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious - don't be anxious. My poem is still long. Please listen patiently and don't interrupt in the middle, otherwise I won't be able to continue." The scholars thought that Luo Yin They couldn't do it, so they made excuses and said together: "Don't interrupt, don't interrupt, just keep going!" Luo Yin coughed lightly and calmly chanted: "It rains in the Qingming Festival, and the old farmer is hungry. "Drink a glass of old wine to moisten your throat, and eat some rice to fill your belly." Luo Yin tilted his neck and finished the wine, chewing the rice and continued reading: Two or three are not enough, add four, five, "Six, seven, eight"? He ate while thinking, and before the scholars could react, he ate up a plate of rice. Then, he burped and continued the last two sentences: "Fill your stomach and go to the fields. There's no time to talk nonsense! "After that, he walked away, and the remaining three scholars sat there and stared.

Luoyin Forest of Steles is located in Xindeng, Fuyang City, Zhejiang Province. In order to promote Sinochem's national culture and commemorate the ancestors , to teach future generations, in 1995, the Fuyang Municipal Government chose the site on the north hillside of Dixianming Mountain in Gexi, Xindeng Town to build the Luoyin Stele Forest. A number of granite steles were erected in the stele gallery, inscribed with inscriptions by Liu Haili, a famous contemporary calligrapher, etc. Fine calligraphy art. There are two open-air courtyards in the Forest of Steles, with two steps up and down. There are more than 40 pieces of fine calligraphy art inscribed by the famous contemporary calligrapher Liu Haili. There are more than a dozen pieces of black marble carved on the corridor walls. There are Luo Yin's poems written in seal script by contemporary Chinese calligraphers. Walking up more than 40 steps along the corridors on both sides of the courtyard is the Luo Yin Memorial Hall. There is a two-meter-high stone statue of Luo Yin in the memorial hall. Next to the statue. A black marble tablet is engraved with Luo Yin's poems written in seal script by Jiang Zhenghua, Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress.

3. Life

Luo Yin, the first year of Tian_ (904). On the orders of King Qian of Wu and Yue, he took a wooden boat from Ruian to the mouth of the river and walked to Ditou Village in Jujiang (now Xinpu Township, Taishun County) to look for Wu Qi (formerly a doctor of Pingzhangshi admonishment) to assist in the administration. The earliest record of shipping from Rui'an on the Feiyun River to the mouth of the Taishun River

Luo Yin's satirical prose is a masterpiece, and it can be called a masterpiece of ancient sketches. His "angry and grievance words are not something that can be used to vent his anger" (Fang Hui's "Slanderous Book" postscript). Luo Yin himself also believes that "it is to warn the world and warn the future" ("Slanderous Book"). Re-ordered). For example, "Heroic Words" uses two so-called "heroic words" by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, which profoundly exposes the robber nature of those emperors who claim to be "heroes" who save the people. A warning (meaning that he may not have the heart to be humble and honest, just because he is arrogant and arrogant, and then he will be arrogant), brilliant thoughts like this are revealed from time to time in Luo Yin's essays. "Speaking of Heavenly Chicken", "Han Wushan Hu", "Sanlu Dafu Yi", "Xu Er Kuang Sheng", "Mr. Mei's Monument" and other chapters are all laughing and cursing, and they are interesting in writing, showing his understanding of reality. In his article "The Crisis of Essays", Lu Xun had a very insightful view of the status of essays in the literary history of the Tang Dynasty: "The style of poetry declined in the late Tang Dynasty, and essays were released. Brilliance. However, Luo Yin's "Slanderous Book" is almost all about resistance and anger; Pi Rixiu and Lu Guimeng consider themselves hermits, and others also call them hermits. The short essays in it have not forgotten that the world is just the brilliance and sharpness in a bed of mud. "

Luo Yin was famous for his poetry in the late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties. Some of his popular poems spread among the people and became classic famous sayings. For example, "Every time comes, heaven and earth are all working together, and the heroes are not free" and "Family wealth" "Don't seek for your descendants", "If you have wine today, you will be drunk now", "No matter how ruthless you are, you will be moved", etc. Another example is the satirical poem "Snow": "Even if you have a good harvest, what will happen in a good year? There are poor people in Chang'an, so it is not advisable to have too many good fortunes." !" The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, but for the poor people, it turns out to be a disaster. His epic poem "Xi Shi" is also better written: "When the family and country rise and fall, why should the people of Wu blame Xi Shi? If Xi Shi conquers the Kingdom of Wu, who will be the one who will destroy the Kingdom of Yue?" The first sentence has a somewhat fatalistic meaning, but his objection to blaming Xi Shi for the collapse of Wu King Fu Chai is indeed a powerful reversal of traditional stereotypes. Many people I like his poem "Giving Yunying to the Prostitute". There is a story in "The Biography of Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty". The original text is as follows: When I was poor, I came to Zhongling and saw Yunying, a prostitute in the camp, who was talented and thoughtful. After that, Ying said: "Luo Xiucai has not yet shed his white hair" and wrote a poem: "Zhong Ling was drunk for more than ten springs and saw Yunying's upper body again. I haven't become famous yet married, so I may be inferior to others.

"Luo Yin is talented and Yunying is beautiful in both beauty and beauty. How can he be inferior to others? It's just that society didn't give them a chance, right? Every time I read this poem, I am moved. Maybe it is because the experience is similar to theirs. Tu Zhongfu in the Ming Dynasty said: "If "Ans." "Yunying Jianxiao" and "Ti Xinbang" are two masterpieces, which are really worthy of tears. " ("Preface to the Collection of Keluo Jiangdong")

Legend has it that Luo Yin, the Earthly Immortal, is the "True Dragon Emperor". The Jade Emperor was afraid that he would cause trouble if he became emperor, so he sent heavenly soldiers and generals to replace Luo Yin. At that time, Luo Yin gritted his teeth, and all the immortal bones in his body were replaced, except for the gum bone. Although he could not become an emperor, he was left with a "sage mouth", which is strange to say. Whatever you say will work, everyone wants to get him to say good things, but they are also afraid of making him say bad things. There are many stories about Luo Yin among the people in Shuidi.

Luo Yin blocked the river

There is a Nanliu River in Yulin and a Beiliu River in the north. It is said that they were the same river in the past. Why were they divided into two rivers later? Speaking of the two rivers flowing in the north and south, it has something to do with Luo Yin. !

When Luo Yin came to Guangxi from Guangdong, he saw a surging river, like a ferocious dragon, flowing from the top of Darong Mountain to the South China Sea. The river bed was very high, and the water often rose during heavy rains. The fields on both sides of the river were flooded and villages were washed away. If there was a drought and the river was low, it would be difficult to raise the water to irrigate the crops. Therefore, the people along the river lived in poverty and had always hated this river. Determined to block the river and change its flow, Luo Yin asked the mountain god for a stone mountain and walked all night, taking a rest and walking. After 8864 twists and turns, he finally came to the place where the river was about to enter the sea. He tentatively pushed the stone mountain into the river. He felt that the water was coming fiercely and it was difficult to change the direction of the river, so he lifted the mountain and carried it forward. Walking back, he wanted to find a suitable place to block it again. As he walked, he suddenly heard the crow of a chicken. Luo Yin hurriedly pushed the stone mountain into the river bend, and the river water was blocked and overflowed. One stream continued to flow south, while the other stream turned north. From then on, the river was divided into two rivers, one flowing south and one flowing north. It was getting better day by day.

Besides, Luo Yin heard about the chicken and knew that Shishan could no longer pick it up. He felt uncomfortable blocking the river bend and looked at the night sky. , he counted with his fingers. Why did the rooster crow before midnight? Luo Yin felt strange, so he went to the uncle from the nearby village and asked: "Whose rooster crowed just now?" "Uncle Shetan replied: "Whose chickens don't crow!" "What's that weird sound?" Luo Yin asked. Uncle Shetan laughed and said, "I learned how to crow." Luo Yin was very angry, slapped him twice, and shouted: "You usually act like a bully and ask the people to offer sacrifices in vain, but you don't accumulate any merit for the village. Instead, after you are drunk and full, you scream in strange ways, almost It's bad for me. Listen! From now on, there will be no place for you to eat and sleep in the village, but you will live at the end of the village. ”

Later, the uncle of the community finally repented. He patrolled the village day and night, exorcising evil spirits and correcting the people, and bless them for peace. The villagers thought of his good deeds, so they built a community altar next to the village to worship during the New Year and festivals. After three days of wine and wine, Luo Yin never built a temple for Uncle Shetan. Coming to Guan in Suoyue

Eating Pork

One evening, a group of villagers were eating and drinking leisurely. Suddenly they saw Luo Yin walking over. Some people ran away for fear of causing trouble. Luo Yin felt strange and stepped forward to ask an uncle who had not left yet: "What were you talking about just now? Grandpa Bo said: "The harvest has failed year after year, and everyone has not eaten meat for a long time." We were chatting just now and wanted to eat enough pork. Luo Yin smiled and said, "What's the problem? You can ask everyone to wait tomorrow." "

After the uncle left, Luo Yin went to a corner of the road to defecate: It happened that the county magistrate was beaten and returned home. When he passed by the corner and saw someone dared to defecate in the way, he couldn't help but get angry. Luo Yin immediately ordered the yamen servant to seize the heavy responsibility. The yamen servant jumped into the air, staggered, and fell like a "hungry dog ??grabbing shit." Luo Yin saw that the yamen servant had chewed a mouth full of shit, and said with a smile: "It's really useless, I can't finish my shit."

"When the county magistrate heard that it was Luo Yin, he hurriedly got off the sedan chair and came forward to apologize. He nodded and bowed and said, "Mr. Luo Yin, just now we were blind and couldn't see Mount Tai. Please don't be offended. I hope you'll bear with me!" Luo Yin said with a straight face: "You have to send five big fat pigs to the village tomorrow, otherwise?" Before Luo Yin could finish his words, the county magistrate rushed on: "Oh, I beg you, please stop talking, I will definitely do it for this trivial matter. "

After the county magistrate returned, he was always afraid that Luo Yin would say bad things about him, so early the next morning, he sent five big fat pigs. In this way, all the men, women, old and young in the village were happy. I had a meal of pork.

It was so sour

A rich man was not satisfied with having one grandson. He wanted to have more children in order to "enrich his family with children." When it was time to celebrate the New Year, the rich man wanted to ask Luo Yin to say something that would fulfill the purpose of "Sun Duo", so he invited him to come to the banquet. The chef prepared a table full of "sauerkraut" for Luo Yin. There were all kinds of sweet and sour carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised and sour pork, etc. The rich man personally accompanied Luo Yin to the table. The rich man said: "My grandson is one year old. Thank you for your presence. I will prepare a glass of water and wine. It is not respectful." please! "All the guests raised their glasses, moved their chopsticks, and devoured their food. The old rich man frequently asked for wine, and his face was full of joy, but Luo Yin did not taste the wine or meat. The rich man asked: "Ms. Luo, don't these dishes suit your taste?" Luo Yin smiled and did not answer. The rich man put a piece of sweet and sour carp in front of him. Luo Yin couldn't refuse, so he picked it up and took a bite. He frowned and snorted, and the rich man hurriedly asked: "Does this taste sour?" many? Before Luo Yin could answer, all the guests answered in a flurry: "So much sourness! So much sourness!" When the rich man heard this flattery and auspicious words, he beamed with joy and picked up another piece of sour buckle. When the meat was brought to Luo Yin, he thought he would say it was "too sour" after eating it. Unexpectedly, Luo Yin bit into the piece of marinated pork and shouted: "Ouch! It's so sour!"

How strange that the rich man's grandson really died before the banquet was over. A celebratory "New Year's Eve drink" unexpectedly turned into an unlucky "Mourning Wine".

Tea in road shops

People who carry burdens to go to the fair often stop at road shops (tea shops) on the way to drink tea. Sometimes even if you drink unboiled tea, you won’t feel bad about your stomach. Why? Legend has it that Luo Yin's "Sage Mouth" said this: "If the tea in Lupu is not boiled, your stomach will not be bad after drinking it." "

Once, Luo Yin passed by a road shop. The weather was very hot at that time: he went into the shop to rest and asked the shop owner for a bowl of tea to quench his thirst. The shop owner was adding firewood to the stove and said: " The tea hasn't boiled yet, please wait a moment. "Seeing that the firewood was almost finished, but the water hadn't boiled yet, the shopkeeper was anxious. He looked around for some, and moved here and there, but he still couldn't boil the tea. Seeing that the shopkeeper was sweating profusely, Luo Yin added more He was very thirsty, so he said, "Don't look for firewood to burn!" The shop owner said, "If the tea is not boiled and passers-by drink it, wouldn't it make them feel bad?" " Luo Yin could no longer hold back his thirst. He scooped a large bowl into the pot with a wooden spoon, swung it a few times, and drank it. The shopkeeper said worriedly: "I'll have a stomachache later. Don't worry. Blame me. Luo Yin wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Lupu tea won't be boiled, and it won't hurt your stomach after drinking it." ”

Oddly enough, from then on, sometimes even if the tea was not boiled, passers-by would drink it without getting upset. Some road shop owners simply set up a bucket of boiled water for free. Let passers-by drink.

Luo Yin's reincarnation

The Jade Emperor finally knew about Luo Yin's "sage mouth" and his efficacious words. , How could it happen? So he sent the God of Thunder and the God of Rain to arrest Luo Yin.

One day, Luo Yin was passing by a village, and there was a sudden strong wind and rain. : "Pointing to the wind, pointing to the rain, Luo hid in the tile kiln. " Luo Yin said as he walked into a nearby broken tile kiln. The wind stopped blowing and the rain stopped falling. But then there was thunder and lightning again. Luo Yin said casually: "Fortunately, it's me in the tile kiln. Hiding place. "He said "hidden" as "buried", and as soon as he finished his words, there was a thunderbolt, and thunder and lightning knocked Luo Yin unconscious. Soon, there was strong wind and heavy rain again, and the potile kiln collapsed, and Luo Yin was buried like this. In the kiln.

Besides, there is a Yuanwai in the village, and his family has a rich girl. This girl is smart and talented. Although she is only eighteen years old, she is not yet married. For the apple of your eye.

One day, a member of the staff found that the young lady was looking thin and in a daze, so he invited a doctor to see her. After checking the pulse, the doctor quietly said to the member of staff: "Your young lady is expecting a baby!" The member of the family panicked and hurriedly consulted with his wife. The lady scolded her daughter for her misbehavior, and the young lady burst into tears. The lady asked the maid again, and the maid said: "The lady has always behaved upright. She has never been out of the boudoir. She has never done anything shameful." The lady asked again and again, and the lady told everything she remembered. come out.

It turns out that two months ago, one day, the young lady was tired from studying, so she went to the back garden with her maid to play. The young lady saw the citrus branches in the garden, and the smell made her mouth water. The maid picked a ripe and big one and gave it to the young lady. Strange to say, after eating that tangerine, the young lady became pregnant without knowing it, and often slept with a scholar in her dreams.

After hearing this, the lady felt that the strange thing happened in the citrus tree. She asked the police to send someone to dig up the tree by its roots. The roots of the citrus tree were so long that they dug into a broken kiln more than a mile outside the wall, where they found a body. The dead body had not yet rotted, and its face was as red as a person who had drunk wine and fell asleep. The member ordered someone to dig up the body, put a coffin in it, and reburied it in the back garden.

A few months later, the young lady gave birth to a boy, who was petite and lively. When the member and his wife met him, they loved him very much and raised him as a grandson. Later, the officials found out that the corpse in Powayao was Luo Yin, and that the young lady became pregnant after eating tangerines, so they named the grandson "Gan Luo".

IV. Introduction

Luo Yin (833-January 26, 910), courtesy name Zhaojian, was a native of Xincheng (now Xindeng Town, Fuyang City, Zhejiang Province) and a poet of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the thirteenth year of Dazhong, he arrived in the capital to take the Jinshi examination, but failed to pass the examination after seven years. In the eighth year of Xiantong's reign, he compiled his own text as "The Slanderous Book", which became increasingly hated by the ruling class, so Luo Gun gave him a poem and said: "Although the slanderous book is better than one person," he wrote. Later, I took the exam intermittently for several years. I took the exam for the General Secretary more than ten times. I claimed that I was "in the exam period for 12 or 13 years". In the end, I failed and returned, which is known in history as "the top ten but not the best". After Huang Chao's uprising, he fled the chaos and lived in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain. In the third year of Guangqi's reign at the age of 55, he returned to his hometown to live under the leadership of King Qian of Wu and Yue. Later Liang died on December 13, the third year of Kaiping's reign (January 26, 910). Luo Yin was famous for his talent and learning in his hometown since he was a child. His poems and articles were outstanding and highly praised by people at the time. He and two other talented people of the same clan were collectively called "Three Luo".

In the late Tang Dynasty, Luo Yin, like many others, wanted to use the imperial examination to enter an official career and show his ambitions. But although Luo Yin was famous, he failed the exam six times, so he changed his name to Luo Yin. Luo Yin's talent and learning were indeed outstanding, and even the prime ministers Zheng Wei and Li Wei at the time admired him. However, because the irony in his test papers was too strong and he was also arrogant, this made him incompetent in the ancient Chinese society that valued modesty. Very isolated, the examiners resented him. One time when he was applying for the examination, there was a severe drought, and the emperor issued an edict to pray for rain. Luo Yin wrote a letter to remonstrate, saying that floods and droughts existed like heaven and earth and could not be eliminated immediately. He advised the emperor to pray with all his heart. , then the common people will be grateful to Your Majesty no matter how severely their crops are affected. Finally, he said that neither the former emperor nor the ministers could do anything for His Majesty, not to mention that it was done by a few unknown people. He believed that this method was not advisable. Luo Yin's words were too blunt and somewhat ironic, and in the end the emperor did not listen to him.
