Ma Liang is a fairy tale written by Hong, a famous children's literature writer and theorist in China, in the 1950s, which shows people's sufferings, justice and kindness in feudal society.
Story details: In the ancient Tang Dynasty in China, there was a child named Ma Liang. He likes painting very much since he was a child, but because his family is poor, he can't even afford a brush! One day, Xiao Fang Niu passed by the school auditorium and saw a painter painting for a senior official. He walked in unconsciously and said to the painter, "I really want to learn to draw." The painter smiled: "poor children also want to learn to draw!" " "Say that finish threw Ma Liang out. Ma Liang was very sad and thought, I don't believe that poor children can't even learn to draw!
Magic brush
Since then, he has made up his mind to learn painting and practice hard every day. Year after year, Ma Liang never stopped learning painting. His cave walls are painted with overlapping pictures, and the twists are all painted. Of course, the progress is also very fast. It's just that the painted bird can't call, and the painted fish is lifelike, but it can't swim.
On one occasion, Ma Liang drew a rabbit at the door, and the eagle hovered in the sky at the door all day. Once, he drew a wild wolf behind the mountain, scaring the passing cattle and sheep from grazing nearby. Unfortunately, Ma Liang has no pen to draw! I think it would be nice to have a pen. One day, Ma Liang had a dream. In the dream, an old man with a white beard gave Ma Liang a golden pen. Ma Liang woke up and found that he did have a beautiful brush in his hand!
Ma Liang
Ma Liang was very happy. Everyone said, "I have a pen!" " "One day, he drew a bird, and the bird immediately flapped its wings and flew into the sky. He drew a fish with a stroke, and the fish bent its tail and swam into the water. He was overjoyed: "How wonderful this magic pen is! "Since Ma Liang got this magic pen, he has painted for the poor in the village every day: whoever doesn't have a plow, draw him a plow; Whoever has no cow, draw him a cow; Whoever has no stone mill, draw him a stone mill.
There is no windtight wall in the world, and the news soon reached the ears of a landlord in the village. The landlord sent two servants to arrest him and force him to paint. Ma Liang was born a difficult person. He saw through the landlord's bad heart. No matter how the landlord threatened Ma Liang to paint gold and silver treasures, he refused to do so. So the landlord locked him in a dark room.
When the sun went down, the sky began to snow heavily. The landlord thinks that Ma Liang will freeze to death if he doesn't starve to death. So the landlord quietly came to the door of the hut, only to see the red light at the door and smell a delicious smell. The landlord was surprised to see through the crack of the door that Ma Liang not only didn't die, but also lit a big stove and baked and ate hot steamed buns on the fire!
Ma Liang's story
The landlord thought that this stove and cake must have been painted by Ma Liang, so he asked his servant to kill Ma Liang and take the magic pen. A dozen fierce servants rushed into the hut, but they didn't see Ma Liang, only a ladder on the east wall. Ma Liang saw Tintin coming and went over the wall. The landlord hurried up the ladder to chase after him, and just climbed three steps and fell down. It turns out that this ladder was painted by Ma Liang.
Ma Liang escaped from the little black room. He knew he couldn't live in the village, so Ma Liang drew a beautiful horse, jumped on his horse and ran to the road. I didn't go far when I heard a noise behind me, torches were brightly lit, and the landlord rode a fast horse with a bright steel knife in his hand and caught up with a group of servants.
We will catch up with Ma Liang soon. Ma Liang took his time and drew a bow and an arrow with magic. As soon as the arrow came up, it hit the landlord in the throat with a whoosh. The landlord turned over and fell off his horse. Ma Liang patted the horse and the horse ran forward quickly.
Ma Liang traveled day and night on the road for several days and arrived in a small town. Being far from home, he stayed here. He painted many pictures and took them to the neighborhood to sell. Because he was afraid that others would know, he stopped painting. He painted either a few mouths or a broken leg. One day, he drew a white crane with no eyes. However, Ma Liang accidentally splashed a drop of ink on the crane's face, and the crane opened its eyes and flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Magic brush
Now, the whole town is sensational. Local officials immediately told the emperor about it. The emperor issued an imperial edict and sent someone to call him to Kyoto. Ma Liang has heard many stories about the emperor bullying the poor, so he can't paint for the emperor! The emperor asked him to draw a dragon, but he drew a gecko; The emperor asked him to draw a phoenix, but he drew a crow.
Geckos and crows are ugly. They crawled around in the golden palace and started fighting, making the palace a mess. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the guards to seize his magic pen and beat him to death. The emperor got the magic pen and drew it himself. He drew a golden mountain first. The insatiable emperor painted one picture after another and drew many overlapping pictures. Nice painting, this is Jinshan! But piles of stones; If you press it too much, it will collapse and almost hurt the emperor's foot.
The emperor had no choice but to let Ma Liang out, and said something nice to him, saying that he would give him a lot of gold and silver, and he would marry the princess to him and recruit him as a son-in-law.
Ma Liang wanted to get the magic pen back, and he pretended to agree. The emperor was very happy to see Ma Liang agree, so he returned the magic pen to Ma Liang and asked Ma Liang to paint for him. The emperor thought, if you can't draw a golden hill, draw a cash cow! On a cash cow, Qian Shengqian. How nice it is to shake it gently and lose a lot of money! He asked Ma Liang to draw a cash cow.
Magic pen Ma Liang's story
Ma Liang made up his mind and said nothing. With a wave of his hand, an endless sea appeared in front of him. The blue water, without a ripple, shines like a jade mirror. The emperor was very unhappy when he saw it. He looked blank and scolded, "I told you to draw a cash cow, but who told you to draw the sea!" "
Ma Liang drew an island in the middle of the sea. He drew a tall and big tree on the island and said, "Isn't this a cash cow?" When the emperor saw the tree, it shone with dazzling golden light. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in his throat. Giggling, he said anxiously to Ma Liang, "Draw a boat quickly! I want to shake money in the middle of the sea! " Ma Liang rowed a big wooden boat, and the emperor took his relatives and many ministers aboard.
Ma Liang saw that they were all on the boat, so he drew a storm and waves. Immediately, the sea rippled and the big wooden boat began to shake. The emperor was afraid, shook his hand at Ma Liang and shouted, "That's enough, Feng! The wind is strong enough! " Ma Liang pretended not to hear and kept drawing the wind. Soon the waves jumped onto the boat. The ship tilted and it was in chaos.
The emperor held the mast and kept shouting, "The wind is too strong! The boat is going to capsize! Stop painting! " Ma Liang ignored him and continued to maintain his style of painting. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it is raining heavily. The waves became more fierce, and the sea kept pressing on the ship like a collapsed high wall. The ship capsized and broke, and the emperor and they both sank to the bottom of the sea.
Both the emperor and the civil and military officials were buried in the sea, and Ma Liang's story was widely circulated among the people. Ma Liang also disappeared silently in the world. So, where did Ma Hou Liang go? Some people say that they have returned to their hometown to reunite with their relatives, while others say that horses have traveled around. So far, no one knows where Ma Liang has gone!
