The tree house under the village is suffering from depression (2). On the leap month of May 5th (3rd), if there are actors, tell them immediately, "Are you entertaining the public?" Laugh and laugh. Because the field is under a stream tree. Clouds don't rain, the wind is silent, cloudy but not dry. So the neighbors gave birth to the Zhou family, Zhou's guests and friends, villagers herding firewood, tillers plowing calves, carrying loads, carrying water and salt to park and get together.
At the beginning, this was a heavy case. A woman was lying on her back, her feet standing upright to support her eight-year-old child. She repeatedly lies on her back, or kneels with her hands folded upright, or her shoulders are connected, and her feet are upright and flexible. Suddenly it's another foot bearing, and the fist is like a lotus. Two men, a woman and an old woman sang golden drums and mixed folk songs with Buddhist songs for a long time. Another woman appeared, for example, lying in front, carrying a box vertically, rotating four corners, with her back on the opposite side and her back behind; As soon as the child files a case, he worships as before. When I was a child, I received a mallet, half in length and half in diameter. Turn your feet around or throw them vertically to accept. After the woman stops, a man climbs up the stairs with his feet still vertical. He can take five steps, his son goes to the top and then goes down the stairs by himself. Sympathize with their work, take a break and have a drink.
His people even moved to other places, choosing grass and shallow slopes to go to the stone, but using wood as a raft, about eight feet from the ground. A person stepped on it, Fu Fenmo, waving a miscellaneous song and laughing, striding calmly, jumping from time to time, and then dancing a big knife and returning to the sacrifice ceremony in central Hunan. This play is very common in my hometown and Jiangzuo. There are taller people who can't dance. Finally, put a soft rope, which is tall and long; The girl walks, holding a bamboo pole and carrying stones at both ends as a balance. When she reaches the end of the rope, she needs to step back, lie on her back, stand on one foot, squat down, carry a pole, or jump in the air. Singing a drum song is the longest, and everything has a name, which is only ten minutes. When I was a girl, my wife Sopamon jumped up and down, pretending to be deaf and dumb, exploring the steps from east to west. When she fell, she fell and shook like a war for a long time. Still holding the pole, the stone is heavier and the balance is covered.
Fang appeared on the stage, and the viewer saw danger. The salt made him feel chestnut, creepy and dizzy, fearing that he would fall. People in the field of vision are all at leisure (4) calm and quiet, and eight-year-old people are also like ancestors (5), such as Zen monks. This is all sincerity, but it is a dedication to learning, bleak and bitter, and it is difficult to move. It is necessary to assess the situation in order to get its dedication; Xi has a long ambition, and even though he is good at it, it has never lost its luster. Removing obstacles in the world is simple. The same is true of Fu Quyi (6)! Therefore, knowing that the best comes from the best, covering its ambition to condense its gas and pneumatic its day, the energy efficiency ratio of non-halogen quenching (7). Its meaning is known to students, but its body is not useful for the world (8); Instrument, Qin also know, and zhi, with the people and the country play, private money stolen its name (9). Zhuang refers to Liaozhinong Pill (10), Jieniu (1 1), Qiwei cicada (12), and chicken-raising with Celastrus japonicus (13). People who look at the viewer for a long time forget that it is a risk, just like the road ahead. What's more, it can touch people!
It is rumored that his ancestors came to Lingling from Henan (16), and it was passed down for three generations, with more than 100 people. The family has a thin field, and it is quite hard to pay tribute. He took his wife and daughter-in-law, his brother's son, and the baby he was holding, sticking his mouth in all directions. If she wins, give her land tax. Wherever we go, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Yuexi, Yunnan and Guizhou) 17_, all of them are shouldered, and the equipment is not borrowed. Knowing the nature of vegetation, I continued to eat and feed my children.
Different from person to person, naked and wandering, Tao Ran has the color of enjoying himself. Live in harmony. Men and women are taught skills when they are five or six years old, and they are self-sufficient when they are old. Take Tao as home, drama as field and teaching as career. Its body is stubborn because of cold, summer, wind, rain, snow and ice, which means it is difficult to travel far, human feelings are tempered, and men, women and children are stubborn. You are quick-witted and quick-witted, more powerful than an ape, but your mind is as broad as an elk.
I am deeply touched by this. My husband didn't do what Wang taught him not long ago, but he suffered greatly between the wizard of laughter (18) and the summer rain (19). However, knowing the size of heaven and earth, everything is generated, and the rice is solid and unbiased. He thought he was an actor and walked tens of millions of miles. He is a smart and beautiful family, and has always regarded it as a play, which he finds useful. When you are old, you can't do anything (20). You can still get some medicine to try, and you can remember it by lip service. Gu zai, Wang said that chickens call dogs steal, and the reason why scholars don't come is (2 1)! Being sick can't make chickens sound like thieves. Lv Huiqing's flattery (22) once made chickens sound like thieves. It's enough to make the world strange, but the taste of Meng is not known. Xin Lingjun and Zhao Yan knew about it (23), so they used it to collect pulp, blogs and butchers (24), and it was a dead horse bone that went to town before, so they repaid their grievances (25). There were Bird and Wu Hao in the Song Dynasty (26). Although Han Hefan can't use (27), it is better to take Xixia as a joke. Sad husband!

"Sparsely said:" reckless, careless. Crack, light and thin. " (8) Zhuang Sheng: Zhuangzi, a famous Zhou thinker during the Warring States Period. Not for the world: Laozi and Zhuangzi advocated quietism, which was repeatedly reflected in Zhuangzi. For example, in Wandering Around, Yao allowed the world to be allowed. He said, "A wren is nesting in a deep forest, but there is only one; The mouse drank the water from the river, but the river was full. It's up to you to decide whether to return to the forest, which is useless to the world! " Another "Human World": "The mountain wood is self-broken (self-cut), and the paste is self-fried. Guangxi is edible, so cut it; Paint can be used, so cut it. Everyone knows the useful use, but they don't know the useless use. " Both.

Su Qin lobbied the six countries to unite against Qin, in order to make the six countries seal each other. Later, it was broken by Zhang Yi until Qi made a guest appearance and was stabbed to death by Dr. Qi. Zhang Qian entered the Qin Dynasty and worshipped each other. The Lian Heng policy separated the six countries from the Qin Dynasty, and the treaty collapsed. When King Hui of Qin died, his son did not like Zhang Yi and died in Wei.

The country of "Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour" said that some people in the Song Dynasty were good at preparing medicines (medicines without turtle hands) for treating chapped skin in winter, and rinsed cotton wool from generation to generation. Later, they sold the prescription to a man, who used it to lead troops against the Vietnamese for the king of Wu in winter, won the victory and got the fief. (2 1) Wang: Wang Anshi.

Translation:
Old Shulu is recuperating in the hut of Jiuniuba. On the last day of March in the seventeenth year of Kangxi, an acrobatic foreman came to my door and said, "Shall we open a venue to relieve the master?" My old man nodded with a smile. Acrobatics classes lined up under the big tree by the river. It was cloudy without rain that day, and it was cool, cloudy but not dry. In this way, the neighbors, the whole Zhou family, his guests, friends and relatives, as well as the shepherd boy, woodcutter, plowman, people carrying umbrellas on the road and boating in the river, all stopped their work, put down their things and got together to watch the performance.
The performance has begun. Several tables have been folded. A woman was lying on her back, propped up and holding a child about eight years old, pushing it around. Sometimes she lies down, sometimes she gets up, sometimes she straightens her neck, and sometimes she bends with her hands folded. Let him stand on his head and put his shoulders on the woman's feet. Children's feet are also upright, and their hands and feet can flex freely and make various postures. Then the woman put one foot on the child, and the child curled up like a lotus out of water. Under the table: two men, a woman, a girl and an old woman are singing folk songs and Buddhist songs while beating gongs and drums. It was a long time before the women and children came down. On another occasion, Mrs. Guang came to the stage, lying like that woman just now, with her feet up, pedaling the table, turning it around, holding its sides and back; The child went up, stood on the table supported by the woman's feet and bent down to stand up as before. After the child came down, the woman hammered with her feet. The mallet is a foot and a half long, and its diameter is about half its length. Women pedal it in circles, lift it up and throw it high, and then catch it with their feet when it falls. After the woman's performance, a man went to the table, lay down, and cocked his feet, propping up a five-step ladder with his feet. The child climbed to the top of the ladder, then stood upright and got down from the first ladder. My old man pitied them for their hard work, told them to have a rest and asked someone to bring them wine to drink.
After the break, the acrobatic class changed the performance venue to another place, picked a flat ground with short grass, picked up all the stones and tiles, and then picked up a stick to walk on stilts, about eight feet from the ground. A man painted his face, waved a fan in his hand, sang songs and told jokes on stilts and strode up and down. He jumps on stilts again and again, and then jumps, rotates and dances on it with a big knife, which is very rhythmic. This kind of performance sometimes happens in my hometown and Jiangdong area, even stilts are more than ten feet high, but performers can only walk on them and dare not dance.
Finally, a soft rope was pulled out, one foot high and two feet long. A girl is walking on a rope. She has a bamboo pole in her hand, and stones are tied at both ends to keep her balance. When she reached the end of the rope, she walked backwards, sometimes lying on her back and sometimes standing by herself. Sometimes you walk with your back bent, or walk with a bamboo pole like a load. Sometimes people fall and hang on the rope, and then jump on the rope in the air. The people below are playing drums, singing and acting. They all have names. The performance time of rope walking is the longest, about half an hour. After the girl came down, a woman asked for a handkerchief, blindfolded her, pretended to be blind, and then jumped on the rope. Like a blind person, she tried to grope with her feet and walk on the rope. Sometimes she slipped like she was about to fall, and sometimes she shook her body like she was scared. It took a long time to finish the performance. She also holds a bamboo pole, and two stones are heavier to keep balance.
When the acrobatic class first came on stage, the audience saw the thrilling place, their thighs trembled, their hair stood on end, they were dizzy and nervous, for fear that the performers would fall. Everyone in my old man's observation team can keep calm and calm. Eight-year-old children are also serious, wholeheartedly like a scholar, and their concentration is undisturbed, like a meditation monk. This is because he has been single-minded for a long time, focusing on the repeated practice of performance skills, working hard to tackle key problems, constantly losing and fighting without wavering, mastering the key to the action and finding the place to exert his strength; He practiced for a long time until he reached perfection, turning the most dangerous job in the world into a simple job. Acrobatics is such a success. From this we can know that the most exquisite skills come from the most ordinary training. It is by no means rude and rash to concentrate on the spirit and push his mind with it. Zhuangzi knows this. He loves himself and doesn't use his talents in society. The same is true of Zhang Yi and Su Qin, who repeatedly refined and used their talents, toyed with the fate of other countries and loved wealth, thus damaging their health and reputation. Zhuangzi talked about Yi Liao playing marbles, the cook killing cows, hunched over and catching cicadas, and Xie Zi raising cockfighting in the season. And that fool can walk backwards on the extremely high cliff road, with his heels exposed outside the cliff; Men in Lvliang can dive into the water, walk hundreds of steps in a waterfall 30 feet high and 40 miles long, and then come out. No one is not trained like this. -In a word, focus. My father looked at the audience again. They watched it for a long time, forgetting the thrill of the performance, as if they were performing on a smooth road, and their feelings were integrated with the performers. Habit can change people's temperament, what a powerful force it is!
The monitor told me that his ancestors moved from Henan to Lingling. This industry has been handed down for three generations and has taught more than 100 apprentices. There is not much land at home, so I can't afford to pay taxes and work. So, I took my wife, my wife's sister-in-law, my nephew and the baby in my arms to perform everywhere to make a living. If I had money, I would use it to pay taxes. They have been to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and remote areas outside the Great Wall. Along the way, I only walked on my shoulders and feet. I took everything with me and didn't borrow it from others. They are familiar with the characteristics of wild vegetables and wild fruits. When you have no money to buy food, pick them to feed your stomach and feed your children.
I think this monitor in a tattered cotton gown is very happy on the floor of Le Tao Tao, although it is difficult to live around. People in the class live in harmony. Boys and girls are taught to learn skills at the age of five or six, and when they are old, they will return to their hometowns to support the elderly. They made money from it and lived all their lives. Wherever they go, they are home. Performing acrobatics means cultivating and passing on their skills from generation to generation. Their bodies have been tempered and strengthened by cold and heat, wind and rain, snow and ice for a long time; Their will has been carefully tempered and firm after a long journey, hardships and worldly wisdom. Men, women and children know everything, but they are more agile and clever than apes, and their temperament is warm and cheerful like elk.
I am deeply touched by this. For a long time, the lessons of ancient holy kings have not been advocated and implemented. These actors, among those who pretend to be singers, clowns and ghosts, are a kind of people who are very annoying in summer rain. But from now on, we can know that in the vast world, everything can adapt and grow, barnyard grass and rice can also bear fruit, and God is not biased towards everything. Although they think they are acting, they have been to thousands of places in Wan Li, whether it is the halls and houses of dignitaries or even the secluded Sanzhai, and the audience did not regard them as acting. But I think their skills are useful. I am too old to wash silk cotton. How can I try the medicine for chapped hands and feet? Mean! Regarding Meng Changjun, Wang Anshi said that these thieves are under his command, so smart people don't go to him; I said, a person is worried that he can't find a chicken to call a thief! A flatterer like Lv Huiqing might as well be called a thief. Meng Changjun didn't know that these people, who were called thieves, could attract talents from all over the world when they got into his hands. Xinlingjun and Yan Zhaowang know this truth, so Xinlingjun can take in Gong Xue, gambler Mao Gong and butcher Zhu Hai who sells meat for their own use. In the spirit of buying the bones of a swift horse with a thousand dollars, we recruited wise men, and finally made Yan prosperous and avenged Qi. There were Bird and Wu Hao in the Song Dynasty, because Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan didn't reuse them and went to Xixia to help the Japanese invade the Song Dynasty. After reading these facts, do you still think what I said is unreasonable? How pathetic!
Peng (16 10- 1683) was born in Nanchang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi). After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he lived in seclusion with Wei and his brother and refused to be an official. Although his prose achievements are not as good as Wei Xi's, it also has many good structures. His "Nine Cows and Eight Views Arrive at the Drama" not only shows deep sympathy for the vagrant life of acrobats, but also shows their will, physique and "wide as elk" after years of cold and summer tempering, braving the wind and rain and stepping on the ice and snow. In this paper, the acrobats' superb skills such as lying on their backs, carrying things with their feet upright, walking on wooden bridges and stepping on soft ropes are vividly described, which makes people feel immersive. What is particularly commendable is that the author has also caused some enlightening discussions, arguing that the reason why acrobats have such exquisite skills and are so calm when performing is because: "This is all about honesty, but it is a professional knowledge. It is bleak and difficult to overcome difficulties. Only by judging according to the situation can we get its professionalism; Zhi has been good at this for a long time, but it is a simple journey. It's easy to mention the dangers in the world. Fu Quyi is also a natural person! Therefore, knowing that it is natural, covering it with ambition, pneumatic, is not the energy efficiency of halogen. " This argument is very philosophical.
