Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio on the tip of the tongue.

Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is placed in the fourth article of Volume II of hanger-on Pavilion.

It is said that the manuscript is divided into eight volumes. At the end of the first volume, the pig dragon is repeated with the article 24 of the second volume, so that Pu Songling drew a cancellation symbol at the beginning and end of the latter "pig dragon" and wrote a word "heavy".

There are 42 articles in the first volume of Qing Ke Ting, and 39 and 24 articles in the second volume fall within a reasonable range, so it can be inferred that the arrangement order of Qing Ke Ting and the original manuscript may be roughly the same, perhaps by Pu Songling himself.

I want to correct the previous statement that hanger-on Pavilion was originally edited by Gao.

There will be repeated chapters in the two volumes that are not far apart, and there is no content connection between the chapters of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, which means that Pu Songling may be arranged according to the chronological order of writing. It's well written. When you see that the number of words is almost the same, you will integrate a book.

It takes a long time to write a serial, and it will not be released until it is finished. Some short pages are likely to be copied by Pu Songling and sent to several distinguished guests, and then collected and compiled into books.

The same article was returned one after another. Pu Songling received the manuscript of Pig Woman Dragon one after another, the first one was put in the first volume, and then he was busy with the subsequent writing. After receiving the second one for a while, he put it in the second volume.

After sorting out the whole article, I found that there was duplication, so I deleted the second one.

The story of the pig female dragon is not strong, and it is roughly divided into three paragraphs, or three sentences.

The first sentence introduces the female pig dragon. Pig dragon is a Chinese alligator. As the name suggests, crocodiles live in the Yangtze River valley. It used to live in a wider range, such as Shandong, but that was at least 80 million years ago.

Pu Songling's readers live in Shandong. Pu Songling has been to Baoying as far as possible. In Shandong or northern Jiangsu in the early Qing Dynasty, apart from fossils, they have never had a chance to see Pig Polong. So Pu Songling felt it necessary to explain first.

The third sentence tells a horror story similar to Jaws.

The second sentence is the focus of this article, which is about how crocodiles eat. People in China are foodies. A serial studio normally eats peaches and pears, but abnormally eats snakes, excrement, stones and crocodiles.

The second sentence: "If you hunt it, you will get the meat of Chen and Ke. These two surnames are friends and forgives, and they dare not eat dragon meat. "

Why can only Chen and Ke eat pig?

Chen Youliang was born as a fisherman, dared to oppose Yuan, became emperor on his own, and was bold. He once caught crocodiles and crocodile Chen Di.

1363, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang staged a Red Cliff War at the end of Yuan Dynasty in Poyang Lake, and Chen Zhongjian died.

His son Chen Lijiang was sent to North Korea by Zhu Yuanzhang on 1372. At that time, Li Chen was about twenty-one years old. 1408, Chen Li died in North Korea at the age of 57. According to the conditions of the ancients, he barely passed, not short-lived.

After Chen Li's death, North Korea's Li Dynasty gave 50 stones of Mi Dou and 65,438+000 rolls of paper to make a coffin.

Qing dynasty 1 stone = 2 hugs, 1 hugs = 5 buckets, 1 bucket = 10 liters, which is about 60 kg now.

In other words, Li Chao gave 3,000 Jin of rice and miscellaneous grains, all calculated on the basis of cheap rice, up and down 1 10,000 yuan.

Today, Chen is said to be the most popular surname on the Korean peninsula, and many people consider themselves descendants of Chen Youliang.

Chen Li is the second son of Chen Youliang. Chen Youliang's eldest son, Chen Shaner, was captured on the battlefield and fell into the hands of Zhu. It is estimated that he will die or die after that Anyway, it has been more than 600 years now, and I'm sure I'm right.

Judging from Chen Li's age, Chen Shaner may have descendants, so there may be descendants of Chen Youliang in Chinese surnames.

Zhu Yuanzhang also exiled Chen Youliang's father and brother to Chuzhou, and they also had descendants in China.

How did Ke's surname become a descendant of Chen Youliang?

Wang Shizhen, a literary critic in the Ming Dynasty, first discovered this phenomenon in Ju Louis. It is said that according to the transcript of Shipu, Chen Ke, Chen Li changed his surname after he went to Sichuan, so Chen Ke came into being. The evaluation of Wang Shizhen's historiography in the General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu is: "Everyone can distinguish the essence, which is beneficial to textual research", but Wang Shizhen obviously thinks too much about Chen Ke.

It's better to read serials, check historical materials and believe in genealogy than to have no genealogy at all. Genealogy is extremely unreliable.

Wang Shizhen made a start, so Tan Qian, a historian in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, recorded in the book "Mixed Sisters in Zaolin": "Tartar is also a descendant of Chen Youliang." He didn't say anything about Chen Li, but he didn't say the source of historical materials either. It is estimated that it changed hands from Wang Shizhen, because Wang Shizhen was famous in the late Ming Dynasty and monopolized the literary world for 20 years, so Tan Qian thinks that Wang Shizhen may not be right in this matter, and he will never be completely wrong.

In fact, Wang Shizhen is talking nonsense. He hasn't seen that genealogy. He heard it from someone.

I won't list the historical works later than Pu Songling, but they are repeatedly strengthening and refining this nonexistent evidence.

Then, something interesting happened.

The popular saying on the Internet is: "In the fourth year of Shunzhi, Ke Yongsheng, the governor of Huguang, wrote in his memorial to Shunzhi that Chen Youliang had a legacy of rejuvenating the country and a thief named Ke Gong Hu ............."

Now that they have ascended the throne, let's sit down and talk about what Ke Chen Zhi said.

Wait, what the hell is Ke Yongsheng, governor of Huguang?

At the end of the second year of Qing Shunzhi, the governor of Huguang and Sichuan was established, with Luo Xiujin as the first; At the end of the fourth year of Shunzhi, Governor Huguang and Governor Sichuan were set up respectively. The governor of Sichuan has never been appointed. He is an empty title. Luo Xiujin served as Shunzhi for eight years and was succeeded by Zhang Changgeng.

Check the records of Shunzhi Qing Dynasty, including: "Ke Yongsheng, the general commander of Huguang, reported that the Ministry of War inspected Syria in Xingguo and other places. Chen Youliang's early legacy. Divided into two surnames: Chen Ke. Entrenched in Wuning, Jiangxi. Huguang Xingguo and those who live in Xingguo, you Han. By the Ming dynasty, it had been suffering for 300 years. There are also those who embrace Ke Chong and become attached to He Tengjiao. Self-reliance is king. Take his client Chen as handsome. Build a village by the mountain. Burning and looting counties. Capture Xingguo state. Kill Wuchang Tongzhi Zhang Baimeng. "

It turned out that Governor Huguang was mistaken for Governor Huguang.

Ke Yongsheng, from the official to the commander of Daqing Military Region, participated in the war south of the Yangtze River. His main "merit" was the second executioner of Ganzhou Massacre, and then he went to Wutai Mountain to rebuild a Buddhist stupa.

Ke Baochong, who reported to the emperor, was an anti-Qing national hero.

In order to clarify his relationship with local thieves with the same surname, Ke Yongsheng adopted the popular saying of rejuvenating the country and further confirmed that Ke's surname was "the legacy of Chen Youliang"; At the same time, the bigger the anti-thief, the higher the martial arts.

This kind of skimming seems clumsy, but it is actually a vaccination. Ke Yongsheng lived to the 14th year of Kangxi, and when he died, he was the third-class Adahavan, the governor of Shanxi. He is not stupid.

When Ke was in Jiaodong, he captured another anti-thief, Guo Erbiao. I don't know whether it was anti-Qing or anti-Ming, and solved the siege of Jimo.

This incident was later mentioned by Guo Wei, an anti-corruption thug of Kangxi.

Guo Shen's political opponents framed him as Guo Erbiao's son to retaliate.

Kangxi is notoriously capricious, repeatedly kick down the ladder, forcing Guo Xian to defend himself and distance himself from Guo Erbiao.

Guo Shen also played a friendship role in a serial, and his story will be told then.

Conclusion: The surname Chen mentioned in Pig Woman Dragon may be descended from Chen Youliang, while the surname Ke is descended from Chen Youliang. It's just the folklore of Yangxin County and Wuning County, which is not necessarily true.

It's just that this legend is generally believed to be true, and this legend is also very common later.

Let's talk about dragons.

When the pig female dragon touches the word dragon, it will be associated with the emperor's luck. Unfortunately, it's not a real dragon, it's a giant. There is another story about it, which is also related to Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is not very good.

Amin poet Heng wrote: "Ming Taizu (Zhu Yuanzhang) crossed the river to take Zhang Shicheng ... pigs and dragons attacked the riverbank and collapsed. God was restored to an old fisherman as a way to kill the giant. Ask anyone, just say Yan surname. "

Zhu Yuanzhang is really untouchable.

When you meet a real dragon, the pig dragon is either eaten or killed.

I said eating Chinese alligators is not normal.

The Chinese alligator is the smallest crocodile in the world and the most docile crocodile. It is an endangered animal and a first-class protected animal. It is illegal to eat it.

Hunting, buying, transporting and selling are all crimes.
