    The Music Emperor's chest felt tight after being hit. When he saw the person coming from the distance, he was like a wandering god. He was about to gather his momentum and let out another majestic sigh!  With a sigh, all directions moved, and all directions hit him. The tree was as big as the wind, and it was thrown straight into the air.

    Falling to the ground, countless brave soldiers rushed towards him. Before the Music Emperor could see who it was, he had already raised his musical sword and started killing the enemy with all his strength.

    The one who sighed was none other than Jin Shengtan (1608-1661), a well-known person with a famous name, Ruocai, who was born in Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province) in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in Nanzhili (renamed Jiangnan Province in the Qing Dynasty).  Ming Zhusheng.  After entering the Qing Dynasty, he had no intention of becoming an official and aimed at criticizing classic Chinese literature. He was known as the pioneer of vernacular literature.

    Jin Shengtan is arrogant and eccentric. He wears shell glasses and is talented. He is known as the number one child prodigy in Wu County.  Wang Yingkui said of him: "The intelligence is peerless, but if the intention is not clear, the devil will come to possess him."  When you write, you will be able to distinguish between the waves and turn them over, and you will often receive divine help.

    Xu Zeng said: Sheng Tan was sparse in nature and liked to have leisure time. He was proud of being by the waterside and under the forest. He also liked drinking and was often invited by drinkers every day. When he had some free time, he became impatient.  Sometimes when you are excited about storytelling, you can write as hard as the wind, and you can get one or two volumes in one day. If it lasts for more than three days, your enthusiasm will gradually fade away, and the drunk will pull you away.

    Qiu Weiyuan said in his 1897 book Shuyuan Tuyu: He spent many years trapped in green felt, facing the Buddha's fire, practicing Zen and waving his bows, and appreciating the taste of Taoists.

    Jin Shengtan commented on "Zhuangzi", "Li Sao", "Historical Records", "Du Fu's Poems", "Water Margin" and "The Romance of the West Chamber" one by one, calling it the "Six Books of Talents".  Zheng Zhenduo said: Over the past three hundred years, "Water Margin" and the seventy chapters criticized by Jin Shengtan have almost become a noun.

    In February of the 18th year of Shunzhi, at the age of 54, he was imprisoned for the Weeping Temple Case. The title stirred people's hearts and advocated chaos, which was a crime under the national law. There was a letter from his family in prison: The words are for the elders to read: Eat pickles and soybeans together, and the elders will eat them together.  It tastes like walnuts. Once I teach this method, I have no regrets.  Jin Shengtan's masterpiece.

    On July 13th (August 7th) of the same year, he was executed on the streets of Sanshan, Jinling.  Last words before execution: Chew dried tofu and peanuts together, it tastes like ham.  , there were eighteen fellow victims; it is said that when his head fell to the ground, two pieces of paper rolled out of his ears and read: It hurts.

    Hu Shi said that he was a great eccentric in the 17th century. He wrote thirty-three wonderful articles in "Unhappy", full of wit and wit, and the content can be found everywhere in life.  It's like pulling out a sharp knife on a vermilion plate in summer and cutting the green watermelon.  What a joy!  If there are three or four scabies in the private parts, it would be nice to take a hot bath and close the door to bathe.  .

    Jin Shengtan was deeply influenced by Li Zhi, a philosopher in the late Ming Dynasty.  A lifelong rebel against tradition, the concept of the Six Talents Book was inspired by Li Zhi.

    Li Yu, a famous drama critic in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, said in "Xian Qing Ou Ji. The Second Pattern" that reading "The Romance of the West Chamber" reviewed by Jin Shengtan can make the hearts of talented people die.  It has been more than 400 years since the creation of "West Chamber", and "West Chamber" is regarded as the first lyricist.  I don't know tens of millions of people, but those who can clearly point out the reason why it is the first, there is only one Jin Shengtan's comment on "The West Chamber".  That¡¯s it.

    He was erudite and talented, but it was a pity that the social politics and social morals at that time were so corrupt that he had no intention of pursuing an official career.  He was humorous throughout his life and left many thought-provoking humorous deeds.

    One year, Jin Shengtan went to Beijing to take an exam, and the test question was "I am not tempted when I am forty."  From Confucius¡¯s Forty Years of No Confusion, Jin Shengtan wrote thirty-nine moving characters after the test question.  The examiner asked him why he wrote this?  Answer: Confucius said that one cannot be tempted at forty, so one must be tempted before the age of thirty-nine.  The examiner was so angry that his face turned green, and he was expelled from the examination room for insulting the sages and sages.

    After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he was dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty's style.  He also wrote a poem to satirize the authorities, saying: Qingfeng is illiterate, so why bother reading books?

    Later, a group of scholars were arrested for exposing the corruption of county officials. In order to support these scholars with a sense of justice, Jin Shengtan gathered some people to cry in the temple.

    This incident offended the governor Zhu Guozhi.  So Governor Zhu ransacked Jin Shengtan and his group and sent them to jail, and he was also sentenced to death.

    After Jin Shengtan was imprisoned, he saw the jailer blackmailing and exploiting the prisoners, so he wanted to treat the prisoner in the same way.  One day, he said to a jailer: I have a secret recipe hidden in my body. If you let me eat well and treat me well, I will pass on this secret recipe to you so that you can make a fortune.  As expected, the jailer treated him as an honored guest.

    After Jin Shengtan's death, the jailer found a note in his clothes, which actually said - Dog meat cooked with white beans is as delicious as dried tofu.  The jailer was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

    There are many witty and unrestrained people in ancient times, but Jin Shengtan can still make fun of his opponents in a humorous way even when death is about to happen. Jin Shengtan is the first person.  Maybe he was born at the wrong time, but he was full of a sense of justice, which made his life so short.  However, death may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai, so Jin Shengtan died generously.

    No matter how he laughs and curses in the face of life, although life is short, it is bright enough.  Before his death, he was able to use his wit in such a cool and unrestrained way, even when he was defenseless, so that the jailer did not dare to treat him badly.It was only after his death that he discovered that he had been deceived. These few last words brought his humorous personality to the extreme, which made people marvel!

    The manuscripts written by Jin Shengtan are also full of joy. Reading his stories and articles makes people feel that he is really a living and charming person, so cute!

    First: In the seventh month of summer, the red sun stops in the sky, there is no wind, and there are no clouds; the front and back courtyards are as impressive as a roaring furnace, and not a single bird dares to fly.  Sweat broke out all over the body in channels.  Put the food in front of you and don't eat it.  If you want to lie down on the ground, the ground will be as wet as cream, and flies will come and attach to your neck and nose, and they will not be driven away.

    Just when there was nothing to do, suddenly the big black axle made a rapid and surging sound, like millions of golden drums.  The eaves slide over the waterfall.  The sweat on the body suddenly subsides, the ground is as dry as a sweep, the flies are gone, and the food is ready to eat.  What a joy!

    The second one: I haven¡¯t seen you for ten years, but suddenly we arrive at dusk.  As soon as he opened the door and bowed his head, he didn't even have time to ask about the boat coming from the land, or order him to sit on the bed, so he walked in quickly and said humbly to his wife: "How can you fight for wine like a Dongpo woman?"  My wife happily took out the gold hairpin and gave it to her.  It can be planned to be a three-day offering.  What a joy!

    Third: Sitting alone in an empty space, I am thinking about how annoying it is to see a rat on the bedside at night. I don¡¯t know if its rattling will damage my weapon, and if it sneers, it will tear me apart.  The center was confused and confused, and suddenly saw a Suan cat, paying attention and wagging its tail, as if it was frightened.  Hold your voice and hold your breath, and wait for it less often, then it will rush as fast as the wind and make a chirping sound.  But this thing has gone.  What a joy!

    Fourth: In front of the study, pull out the truncated crabapple, redbud and other trees, and plant 10 or 20 banana trees.  What a joy!

    Fifth: On a spring night, I had a quick drink with all the noble people, until I was half drunk. It was difficult to live in the place, and it was difficult to get in.  A boy on the side who understood what he was saying was suddenly presented with more than ten large paper cannons, so he got up to attend, took fire and set them off.  The aroma of sulfur enters the brain from the nose and makes the whole body feel happy.  What a joy!

    Sixth: When walking on the street, I saw two people arguing about one thing. Their eyes were cracked and their necks were red, as if they were not wearing clothes. They also held their hands high, bent their waists low, and still used the same words in their mouths.  His harsh words will continue for years to come.  Suddenly a strong man walked over without thinking, Zhenwei drank from him and was relieved.  What a joy!

    Seventh: The children recite the book thoroughly, like water from a bottle.  What a joy!

    Eighth: After dinner, when I had nothing to do, I went to the market for a leisurely walk. I saw some small things, and I bought them again. The purchase was completed. The difference was very small, but the market children were struggling and they would not forgive each other.  Then he took out a piece from his sleeve and threw it at the same weight as the one in front of him.  Shi'er suddenly changed his smile and held his hands in front of him, saying he didn't dare.  What a joy!

    Ninth: If you have nothing to do after a meal, you overturn the empty basket.  Then we see that there are no less than dozens of old and new documents and deeds in arrears. The person may live or die, but there is no way to repay them.  Carrying people on their backs, they pulled out the fire and burned it. Looking up at the sky, it was clear and cloudless.  What a joy!

    10. Xia Yue Ke was barefooted, holding an umbrella to cover the sun, watching the strong men singing Wu songs and stepping on orange trees.  The water surges up for a moment, like rolling silver and snow.  What a joy!  (To be continued.)
