Ming Dynasty Zhengtong years, eunuch Wang Zhen power for personal gain, every court meeting, bureaucrats around the world in order to curry favor with him, more to offer jewelry and silver, governor Yu Qian every time to the capital to play things, always do not bring any gifts. His colleagues advised him that: "although you do not offer gold and treasure, climbing power, should also bring some famous local specialties such as incense, mushrooms, handkerchiefs, etc., to send some favors ah!" Yu Qian laughed and raised his sleeves and said wryly, "with the breeze!" In order to show that the flattery of the corrupt officials of the mockery. The idiom of "two-sleeve breeze" has been passed down since then.
He once composed a poem entitled "Poem on Entering Beijing":
"Mushroom with silk handkerchief and thread incense,
This is a disaster for the people who use it for their own purposes;
Going towards the sky in a clear wind and with two sleeves,
lest the people in the capital talk about the shortcomings of the country.
Silk handkerchiefs, mushrooms, and thread incense were all specialties of the place where he worked. In his poem, Yu Qian said that these things were originally for the enjoyment of the people. But because of the officials to requisition and search, but became the people's scourge. He showed his attitude in the poem: I have nothing to bring to Jinjing, only two sleeves of clean air towards the sky. The word "luyan" in the poem means "lane" or "hutong", which means "folk" or "common people".
2. In the Same Boat***
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the states of Wu and Yue often fought each other. The people of both countries also regarded each other as enemies. Once, people from both countries happened to **** together in a boat to cross a river. When the boat first sailed, they glared at each other from the boat, looking as if they were going to fight. But when the boat reached the middle of the river, it suddenly encountered a big storm and saw that the boat was about to capsize. In order to save their lives, they didn't care about their hatred for each other, they rescued each other and worked together to stabilize the boat, and only then did they escape from this natural disaster and arrived safely at the other side of the river.

5.Jianglang Talent
Jiang Yan of the south China province, the word of the Wentong, when he was young, he became a He became a famous literary writer when he was young, and his poems and essays were highly praised at that time. However, as he grew older, his writing was not only not as good as before, but also regressed a lot. His poems came out blandly; he could not write a single word even after he had put pen to paper for a long time, and occasionally, when inspiration came, the poems came out, but the lines were dull and the contents were so flat that they were not desirable at all. So there was a legend that once Jiang Yan stopped at the riverside of Zen Ling Temple in his boat, and dreamed that he saw a man who claimed to be Zhang Jingyang; he asked him to return a piece of silk, and he took a few feet of silk out of his bosom and returned it to him. Therefore, his writings were not wonderful afterward. There is also a legend; once Jiang Yan was taking a nap in a smelting pavilion; he dreamed that a man who called himself Guo Pu came to his side, asked him for a pen, and said to him, "Brother Wentong, I have a pen with you for a long time, so you should be able to give it back to me now!" Hearing this, Jiang Yan took out a five-colored pen from his pocket and returned it to him. It is said that after that, Jiang Yan's writing mind dried up, and he could not write any more good essays.
6.
When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in Dazhe Township, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in Wuzhong (present-day Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province) responded. Xiang Liang's father, Xiang Yu's grandfather, was Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu. Xiang Yu's father died when he was a child, and he grew up under the care of his uncle Xiang Liang. At a young age, he was determined to avenge his country's shame. When his uncle taught him calligraphy, he didn't work hard; when he was asked to learn swordplay, he refused to work hard either. Xiang Liang was so angry that he scolded him for his lack of talent. But Xiang Yu said, "Reading and writing, at most, I can only memorize my name, and I can only fight with a few people even if I learn swordsmanship well, but I want to learn the skill that one person can fight against ten thousand people." Xiang Liang thought that his nephew had great ambition and taught Xiang Yu the art of war. Xiang Liang himself, being good at making friends, rushed to help when people had any big events, and the local people liked him so much that he became the leader of the great and powerful in Wuzhong, and even the local officials had to respect him a little bit.
When Emperor Qin Shi Huang passed through Wuzhong on his last tour, many people came to watch. The people standing on both sides of the road, at the sight of this mighty (lǐn), luxurious and magnificent emperor's carriage Mercedes Benz, all stood dumbfounded, the atmosphere did not dare to gasp (chuǎn). Only Xiang Yu, who stood a head taller than others in the crowd, stared at a pair of big eyes under his thick eyebrows, and said offhandedly, "What's so great about this, anyone can replace him!" Xiang Liang was so scared that he quickly covered Xiang Yu's mouth and quietly warned, "You are talking nonsense here, if you let others denounce you, you will have to exterminate your nine clans." Back home, Xiang Yu complained to his uncle, "You always let me practice martial arts and learn the art of war, so that I will never forget the hatred of my family and country, why are you so timid and afraid of things today?" Xiang Liang said, "We are trying to do something great, we can't be impatient. If we want to take revenge, we must learn to wait for the right time."
That very year, Qin Shi Huang fell ill and died on his way back to Xianyang. The next year, the Second Emperor succeeded to the throne, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in Dazhaxiang. After the news came, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were so happy and excited that they felt the time had come to avenge Chu's death, so they killed the local county magistrate, gathered up 8,000 sons and daughters, and rose up to fight against Qin.
After a short while, news came that Chen Sheng had been defeated by the Qin general Zhang Han, and Xiang Liang quickly led the 8,000 soldiers from Jiangdong across the Yangtze River, advancing to the western front. Some scattered anti-Qin forces, such as those led by Chen Ying, Ying Bu and Lu Chen, all defected to Xiang Liang's army, which grew to 60,000 to 70,000 men at once. But by this time, the King of Chen had already been killed by the traitor Zhuang Jia, and Zhang Chu's regime had been torn apart. At this critical moment, Xiang Liang held a meeting with the leaders of the rebel armies in Xue County (present-day Teng County, Shandong Province), and discussed to elect a leader of the rebel army. At this time, an old man in his 70s named Fan Zeng rushed to offer his advice. He said to Xiang Liang, "Chu was most unfortunate when Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. King Huai of Chu was tricked and died in Qin, and the people of Chu miss him to this day. When you rose from Jiangdong, many people came to join you because your family had been a great general of Chu for generations, and people want you to restore Chu. If you appoint the descendant of King Huai of Chu as the ? King, you will surely be able to call on more common people."
It seemed to Xiang Liang that Fan Zeng's words made sense, so he sent his men around to look for the descendants of King Huai of Chu. It didn't take long to find Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu, who was only 13 years old and working as a goat herder for a family. So Xiang Liang led everyone to make Xiong Xin as the king of Chu, in order to comply with the Chu people's nostalgia for their homeland, still call him "King Huai of Chu". After the news spread, many more people rushed to join Xiang Liang's team.
Xiang Liang placed King Huai of Chu in Xuyi (northeast of Xuyi County, present-day Shandong Province) and continued his westward march with his own troops. He defeated Zhang Han at Dong'a (northeast of present-day Yanggu County, Shandong Province), and then defeated the Qin army to the east of Puyang (northeast of present-day Shixian County, Henan Province), and then captured Dingtao (south of present-day Heze City, Shandong Province). At this time, the old aristocrats of Qi, Zhao, Yan and Wei had also established kings in their own lands and restored the names of their own countries, and the world of Qin Dynasty was about to be finished. Xiang Liang ordered Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who had come to join him not long ago, to rush westward with their troops. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang killed Li Yu, a general of Qin Dynasty. Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Han quickly asked the Qin government to send reinforcements. Taking advantage of Xiang Liang's complacency after his victory and his lack of defense, he attacked Dingtao and killed Xiang Liang. As soon as Xiang Liang died, the ranks of the rebel army suffered great losses, and Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and Lu Chen had to retreat to the area of Pengcheng (present-day Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province) and take a defensive position.
Again, after the Qin general Zhang Han broke the main force of the Chu army led by Xiang Liang, he thought that the Chu army was so badly wounded that there was no need to worry about it, so he left Xiang Yu and his men alone and led his army northward across the Yellow River to attack Zhao She, who was then calling himself the king of Zhao. The king of Zhao and his strategists Zhang Er and Chen Yu were not prepared for the Qin army's attack and were defeated in the first battle, so they retreated to Julu (present-day Pingxiang County, Hebei Province) to defend themselves. Zhang Han sent his generals Wang Li and Shibu Ma to besiege the city of Julu like an iron barrel. The Qin army laid an iron wall of defense outside the city, while Zhang Han himself led his main force to transport grain and grass to supply Wang Li's besieging army.
The Zhao army, besieged and unable to cope with the siege, hurriedly sent people around to ask for help. The Yan and Qi armies of the two countries authorized the Zhao army to arrive a long time ago, but at the sight of the Qin army's strong force, no one would act as an egg that touches the stone, and all of them shrank away from the Qin army.
Again, King Huai of Chu received a letter from the king of Zhao asking for help, and hurriedly prepared reinforcements, sending Song Yi as the general, telling him to take Xiang Yu, the second general, and Fan Zeng, the last general, to go north to save Zhao.
Song Yi led the army from Pengcheng. The generals had been resting for several months, and now they heard that they were going to fight against the Qin army's main force, and they were all eager to fight. Song Yi, however, was a cowardly and selfish villain. He used sweet words to gain King Huai's trust and tricked him into gaining the military power, but he did not want to go down to the city and fight with the Qin army at all. When he came to Anyang (east of Caoxian County in present-day Shandong Province), he ordered the whole army to rest in place, and this stay was for more than 40 days, and he himself drank and enjoyed himself in his tent every day, and never raised his troops to support Zhao.
It was too much for Xiang Yu to bear, so he came to see Song Yi: "To save an army is like putting out a fire, now that the king of Zhao is in danger, we should immediately lead our troops to cross the Yellow River and join forces with the king of Zhao, and we will surely be able to defeat the Qin army greatly!" Song Yi squinted at Xiang Yu for a moment and said slowly, "How do you know the wonders of the art of war! Our goal is to destroy the Qin army, my idea is to let Qin and Zhao fight to the death first, so we can reap the benefits. On the battlefield, I can't compare to you, but when it comes to strategizing, you are far worse than me." Xiang Yu was robbed of his words, he forced himself to hold his fire and walked out of the tent with a grunt of anger.
Song Yi sneered at his back and then drafted an order, which was announced to the whole army, saying, "The generals should fight like tigers and wolves, but anyone who doesn't obey the order will have to be beheaded." This is obviously directed at Xiang Yu, telling him to obey orders.
How can Xiang Yu, who is a hot-tempered man, swallow his anger? One morning, fully armed, he strides into Song Yi's army tent and again asks for immediate troops to save Zhao. Song Yi lost his temper and shouted, "My military order has been given, do you want to test the order with your head?" Xiang Yu yelled, "I want to borrow my head for the order!" Song Yi, who was originally a straw man, was scared and softened into a ball, and Xiang Yu chopped off his head with a sword. When the generals heard that they killed Song Yi, they all immediately expressed their willingness to obey Xiang Yu's command and embraced Xiang Yu to act as the superior general.
Once the power is in his hands, he will be able to carry out his orders. Xiang Yu became the commander-in-chief of the Zhao-aiding army and ordered his soldiers to bring enough rations for three days each, and then ordered to smash all the pots used for marching and cooking. Xiang Yu said, "Without pots, we can go lightly and save the critical state of Zhao immediately! As for eating, let's go to Zhang Han's camp to get pots to cook!" After the army crossed the Zhang (zhāng) River, Xiang Yu ordered his soldiers to sink all the ferry boats and burn down all the tents. The soldiers saw that there was no way out, and if they didn't win the battle, no one would be able to survive.
Xiang Yu commanded the Chu army to encircle Wang Li's army, and started 9 fierce battles with the Qin army. The Chu army crossed the river, and each of them took one for ten, and ten for a hundred, all of them were like the fierce tigers of the lower mountains, and all of them fought bravely. Above the sand field, smoke and dust, killing sound shook the sky. Chu army generals fight more and more fierce, straight to kill the mountain shaking the ground, blood flow into a river. After many encounters, the Chu army finally outnumbered and defeated the Qin army, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, captured Wang Li, Shibuma was so desperate that he set fire to himself (fén) and died, and Zhang Han retreated with the remnants of his troops and defeated generals. Those reinforcements sent by the old aristocrats were admired and scared when they saw Xiang Yu's great victory. From then on, Xiang Yu became the upper general, and all the armies of the vassals were under his command.
Zhang Han led the remnants of his army to retreat dozens of miles and sent people to Xianyang to ask for reinforcements. But Zhao Gao was busy seizing the throne and didn't send a single reinforcement. Zhang Han, in a desperate situation, led the remaining Qin army to surrender to Xiang Yu.
In the vicious battle of Julu, Xiang Yu's Chu army defeated the main force of the Qin army, and the mighty Qin dynasty was no longer able to resist the attack of the peasant insurgents. Soon after, Liu Bang's team fought their way into Xianyang and overthrew the Qin dynasty. Xiang Yu immediately took his troops westward, but he fought with Liu Bang for the world
7. Broken Mirror Reunited
The idiomatic story of Broken Mirror Reunited is derived from a good story about Yang Su, a native of Huayin and the Duke of Yue in Sui, who was a man of beauty.
Yang Su (楊素), known as Didao (处道), was instrumental in helping Emperor Yang Jian (隋文帝) to end his rule, unify the world, and establish the Sui Dynasty. He was not only a resourceful and talented man, but also an accomplished writer and martial artist. In the dynasty and the countryside are all powerful, quite famous.

Because of Yang Su's success in breaking Chen, coupled with Princess Lechang's talent, Emperor Wen of Sui made a mess of things and sent Princess Lechang into Yang Su, giving her as Yang Su's concubine. Yang Su both admire Princess Le Chang's talent, but also coveted Princess Le Chang's beauty, so more favor, but also for the Princess Le Chang special mansion. However, Princess Lechang was always depressed and silent.
Originally, Princess Lechang and her husband, Xu Beiyan, knew each other well and had a deep love for each other. Chen will die, Xu Deyin had tears to his wife, said: "The country is in danger, home security can not be preserved, you and I have become inevitable separation. With your looks and talent, you will certainly be plundered into the mansion after the fall of the country, we are separated for a long time, living in one side of the name of the husband and wife, only day and night to think of each other, dreaming of the divine meeting. If God has eyes and does not cut off our love affair in this world, you and I will surely see each other in the future. So we should have a token in order to recognize each other and reunite in the future." After saying this, Xu Deyin split a copper mirror in half, and the husband and wife each hid half of it. Xu Deyin added: "If you are really plundered into a rich and powerful family, on the 15th day of the first month of next year, take your half of the copper mirror to the market to sell it, and assuming that I also survived the world, I will definitely rush to the city on that day and ask for news about you through the copper mirror."
A loving couple, at the time when the country's mountains and rivers were in ruins, suffered from the pain of separation, though they had survived the disaster. It is easy to look forward to the second year of the first month of the fifteenth, Xu Deyin after a lot of hard work, dislocation, finally rushed to the city street, and saw an old man in the sale of half a piece of copper mirror, and the price is expensive, people do not dare to ask for it. Xu Deyin look at half a piece of copper mirror, know that his wife has been whereabouts, can not help but tears. He did not dare to be slow, busy according to the price of the old man to pay the money, and immediately led the old man to his own place. Eat and drink has been over, Xu Deyin to the old man to tell the story of the broken mirror a year ago, and took out his own collection of the other half of the bronze mirror. Trembling Soso two halves of the bronze mirror has not yet kissed, Xu Deyin has long been sobbing ...... selling mirror old man was moved to tears by their deep love of husband and wife. He promised Xu Deyin, must be between them to pass the message, so that the couple reunited as soon as possible. Xu Deyin wrote a poem on the moonlight and asked the old man to bring it to Princess Lechang. The poem reads:
Mirror and people are all gone, mirror return people do not return.
No more Chang'e's shadow, leaving the bright moon shine.
Le Chang Princess saw her husband's poem, think of her husband at hand, it is difficult to see each other, it is a great sadness, all day long face miserable, water and rice do not enter. Yang Su repeatedly interrogated, only to know the reasons, but also could not help but be y moved by the true feelings of the two of them. He immediately sent Xu Deyin called into the house, so that he and his wife were reunited. The whole of the mansion marveled at the reunion of Xu Chen and his wife and the magnanimity and adulthood of Yang Su, the Duke of Yue. In a joyous celebration of gratitude. After the banquet, the couple returned to their hometown in Jiangnan hand in hand. This good story was spread around, so there is a broken mirror allusion, has been passed down to the present day.
8. Santa Claus under the moon
In the family of the immortals, there is a special management of earthly marriages under the moon Santa Claus, legend has it that, who can become a husband and wife, are under the moon Santa Claus beforehand with a red rope tied foot selected, so the folk more than his statue, set up a temple, in order to protect the blessing of.
In the old days, Hangzhou's West Lake, there is a moon under the Santa Claus shrine, young girls in love with spring, the widowed man of the couple, to burn incense, draw lots, make a wish, an endless stream of people. In the shrine, there are seven, seven, four, seven, seven, nine sticks, the first stick is: "Guan Guan Ju, in the river of the continent. The first one is: "Guan Guan Ju, in the river's continent. The fair lady, the gentleman's son good martial arts." The last one reads, "May all lovers in the world be united in love." The theme of people's prayers to the old man under the moon is very skillfully pointed out.
It is said that the Santa Claus was first discovered in the Tang Dynasty.
In the early years of Emperor Tang Taizong's reign, there was a man named Weigu, who lost his parents when he was a teenager, and always wanted to get married early and have a family, but he proposed to the Emperor in many places, and none of them succeeded. This time he came to Songcheng and stayed in a store. The guest who stayed with him introduced him to the young lady of Pan Fang, the former Secretary of Qinghe, and agreed to meet the other party in front of the Longxing Temple to the west of the store the next morning. Weigu was eager to propose marriage, so he ran to the temple at dawn. At this time, the moon will set, but the moonlight is still bright, only to see an old man sitting on the steps against the backpack, examining the paperwork by the light of the moon. When he looked at the document, he could not read a word. Wigu asked curiously, "What kind of book are you reading, old man? When I was a child, I had studied hard, and I did not know any words, even the Sanskrit of the Tianzhu can be read, but this book is the only thing that I have never seen, how come?" The old man smiled and said, "This is not a book of the world, how can you have a chance to see it?" Weigu asked again, "Then what kind of book is it? The old man said, "A book of the underworld." Wei Gu asked, "Why would someone from the Underworld come to Ramie here?" The old man said, "It's not that I shouldn't have come here, but you went out too early, so you met me. The officials of the Underworld are all in charge of the affairs on earth, so of course they have to come to earth often. He also asked, "What are you in charge of?" The old man replied, "The marriage book of the people in the world." Weigu listened to the great joy, and asked: "I am alone, I would like to get married and have heirs, in the past ten years, I have been courting in many places, but I have not succeeded. Today, someone has asked me to come here to discuss the proposal of marriage to Ms. Pan Sima, can it be successful?" The old man replied, "The opportunity has not yet arrived. Your wife, now just three years old, will not enter your house until she is seventeen." Weigu was greatly disappointed, and asked in passing, "What is in the old man's backpack?" The old man said, "Red rope, with which to tie the feet of the man and woman who should be a couple. When the local people sit down, I will quietly give them tied, then, even if they were born in the enemy's home, or a noble and a lowly like heaven and earth, or one side ran to the ends of the earth as a businessman, or wu land chu country different township, as long as this rope - tie, no one can escape. What is the use of pursuing other people when your feet are already tied to that one?" Wei Ku asked again, "Then where is my wife? What does her family do for a living?" He answered, "She is the daughter of Mrs. Chen who sells vegetables north of this store." Wigu said, "May I meet her?" The old man said, "Mrs. Chen used to carry her here to sell vegetables. If you come with me, I can point her out to you."
The day dawned, and the person he wanted to wait for did not come. The old man then rolled up the book on the back of the bag to walk, Weigu hurried to follow, all the way into the market, there is a blind woman, holding a little girl about three years old - a girl dressed in rags, the appearance of a very difficult to see. The old man pointed him out and said, "This is your wife." Weigu was furious at the sight and said, "I'll kill her, will I?!" The old man said, "This person is destined to enjoy the title and honor, and it is because of you that you can be appointed as the county ruler, how can you kill her?" After saying this, the old man disappeared.
Wei Ku went back to his store, sharpened a knife, and gave it to his servant, saying, "You are very skillful and capable, if you kill the girl for me, I will reward you with ten thousand dollars." The servant agreed. The next day, the servant hid the knife and went to the market, stabbed the girl in the crowd, and the whole market was in an uproar. The whole market was in an uproar. The servant fled back in the chaos. He asked, "Did you hit the factory?" The servant said, "I wanted to stab the heart of the earth. I didn't want to hit only the center of the eyebrow." After that, Wei Ku and many other proposals, still not a success.
Fourteen years later, because the court remembered his father's great achievements, he was appointed as a senator of Xiangzhou. Wang Tai, the governor of Xiangzhou, asked Wei Gu to take part in the administration of the prison, and he thought Wei Gu had talent, so he married his daughter to him. The young lady was about 16 or 17 years old, with beautiful appearance, and Wei Gu was extremely satisfied. Just her eyebrows are often attached to a piece of flower tin, that is, when you wash your face, do not take it off. More than a year after the marriage, Weigu repeatedly asked the reason for wearing the flower tin, Mrs. sad tears, said: "I am only the niece of the assassin, not the real daughter. In the past, my father was the magistrate of Songcheng County, and he died in office when I was still in infancy, and my mother and brother died one after another. Only in the south of Songcheng there is a farmland, and nanny Chen live there. The farm was close to the inn, and I sold vegetables every day to make ends meet. Chen's pity for my young, do not want to be separated for a moment, so often carry me to the vegetable market. One day, I was stabbed by a heartless thief, and the knife wound is still there, so I covered it with a flower tin. Seven or eight years ago, my uncle came to the neighborhood as an official, so I came here with him, and now I am married to you as my own daughter." Weigu asked, "Is Chen - blind in one eye?" The lady said, "Yes. How do you know?" Wei Ku confessed, "I ordered you to be stabbed." He then recounted what happened in the past. After these ups and downs, the couple became more respectful and loving to each other. Later, they gave birth to a son, Wei Kun, who became the governor of Yanmen, and Mrs. Wang was named "Mrs. Taiyuan County".
After the story of Weigu spread, people know that there is a god in charge of the earth's marriage, but do not know his name, so they can only be called "the moon under the old man", referred to as "moon old". His shrine and statue were built in various places.

Later, when King Wen of Chu succeeded to the throne, Bian He cried for three days and three nights at the bottom of the Chu Mountain, his tears were all dried up, and blood came out of his eyes. King Wen sent someone to ask him why he cried so sadly, Bian He said: "What I am sad about is not having my feet cut off, but the fact that this world does not distinguish between right and wrong, and black and white is upside down. This is obviously a piece of precious jade, but it is considered to be a stone; I was originally a loyal man bent on serving the country, but I am considered to be an ignorant fanatic who deceives the king and disregards his superiors--this is what saddens me the most!" King Wen asked the craftsman to cut open the jade, and he got a piece of fine jade. In order to recognize Bian He's achievement in offering jade, he named this piece of jade as "He's Bi". From then on, He Shi Bi became a rare treasure. Later on, during the Warring States period, He Shi Bik was obtained by King Huiwen of Zhao. When King Zhao of Qin heard about it, he was so envious and jealous that he sent a letter to King Huiwen of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for He Shi Bik.
