The City Deceives The World

"After the fisherman arrived at the source, he saw the entrance of the cave. 'It was extremely narrow at first, and then it was accessible to people. After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land was flat and vast, and the houses looked like it.'

Doesn't this scene look like the hole in No. B? Although there is a translucent black light on the surface, you can vaguely see that the structure is like this.

Same thing. "

"Huang Haopeng" smiled.

He is not giving a report now, so he is relatively relaxed.

It's just that he has some doubts. These inferences and memories always feel a little inconsistent with his memory bank.

"The second half of the sentence——"The land is flat and the houses are like. "

-

So neat, so orderly, but ancient cities were indeed planned very carefully, every place and every line was meticulous, but these are all big cities.

For example, on maps of old Beijing and maps of ancient capitals like old Xi'an, there are lines and rules everywhere. They are very strict and cannot go beyond the rules.

However, the fisherman did not go to a big city at that time, nor was it a military town.

He went to a Peach Blossom Spring, and according to the description, the Peach Blossom Spring was only about the size of a village and had a small population.

As far as I know, the villages of the ancients did not seem to have so much particularity. The houses in the villages were basically built in an intricate style around the ancestral hall.

Lin Zhijian took out his cigarettes, threw one in and lit it.

He blew out a puff of smoke and motioned for him to sit down.

"So, what do you mean, what do these 'the land is flat and the houses look like' recorded by Tao Yuanming refer to?"

Huang Haopeng sat on the sofa to one side.

Finally, he said: "Family, big family!"

"Aristocratic families in ancient times were different from today. Many families had houses and gardens, covering an area of ​​hundreds or even thousands of acres.

If it is too unrealistic to describe a free and carefree small mountain village with flat land and scattered houses, then wouldn't it be very appropriate to describe a neatly built manor? Is it combined?

The aristocrats of ancient aristocratic families with long inheritance were even stricter than the royal family, and it was normal for them to plan neatly.

As for the lack of walls, it's very simple. If there are no other people in that place except their clan members, then there is no need to build a wall outside the manor.

Only in this way can we explain why such a building rule is a small village, because those who can come to such a place must be direct descendants of the family, and the number of people is naturally small. "

Lin Zhijian looked more serious and sat in a more upright posture while listening.

"Bamboos and mulberries are most luxuriant in May and July, while peach blossoms are in March. There is a huge time fallacy here.

I don't think Tao Yuanming would make such a big mistake.

There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo species.

This sentence has great ambiguity and contradiction with "The Peach Blossom Spring". Of course, there is also a poem about the peach blossoms beginning to bloom in Jinshan Temple in April.

But this is related to the altitude and climate, and fishermen cannot climb mountains with their fishing boats. This is unrealistic.

But it would make sense if Peach Blossom Spring was not in this world.

You can't expect another world, or a small world or spiritual land like the one described in the novel, to abide by the events and rules here.

So I think it was March when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

Fisherman Peach Blossom saw the black light hollow under the peach blossom forest. He bent down and walked in. It was narrow at first and then wide. Then it suddenly opened up and he saw neatly repaired houses on the other side.

"Anymore?"

Huang Haopeng nodded.

He lit a cigarette for himself: "Men and women are dressed like outsiders. Since Yun's ancestors escaped from the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife to this desperate situation. He never came back, so he was separated from outsiders. When I ask what time it is now, I don't know whether there are Han people. Wei and Jin.

This sentence.

First of all, I don’t know much about what people dressed like during the Qin Dynasty.

However, the Qin Dynasty fell in 206 BC, and although I don’t remember the general existence time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty very clearly, it was probably between 300 and 400 AD, which means there was a difference of five to six hundred years.

Even in ancient times, clothing was enough to undergo several earth-shaking changes in clothing, but isn't it strange that the people in Peach Blossom Spring dress the same as outsiders?"

Huang Haopeng: "Why? Because they are not isolated from the world. At least there will be people coming in and out every once in a while, but they can't talk to outsiders."

"As soon as the fisherman left, he went to report to the prefect."

Huang Haopeng laughed. "When I was in school, my Chinese teacher said that fishermen are greedy for rewards, but I found that if a small village levied a little more tax, the rewards would be huge? Is it a big benefit?

So.

What is the reason that makes the fisherman start to look for it everywhere, mark it, and then go straight to the prefect's mansion as soon as he leaves the Peach Blossom Spring?"

"Because the fishermen were frightened. In ancient times, there were strict regulations on what kind of cloth to use, how high a house should be built, and what specifications it was based on status.

For a foolish fisherman, everything in the Peach Blossom Spring seemed to him to be the same as rebellion, so he hurriedly went to report to the prefect. "

Lin Zhijian pondered for a moment. "There is a paragraph at the end of the article: Liu Ziji from Nanyang was a noble scholar. When he heard about it, he went there happily. But he failed to find the disease and ended up with no one interested in him.

Could it be explained that because it is a black light void, it closes as soon as the fisherman leaves, so no one can find it?"

Huang Haopeng nodded. "There are reasons for this, but I think the greater possibility is that Liu Ziji did not die of illness, but was silenced because of his entanglement.

But no one cares about it, perhaps because it is suppressed by the secular forces in that place.

Who dares to be careless about such a major kingly matter as rebellion? How can it be that no one cares about it?"

Lin Zhijian was also a little frightened.

I am afraid of scrutinizing everything. Such an inference is simply terrifying and terrifying to think about.

"It does make sense, but "The Peach Blossom Spring" is just a preface for Tao Yuanming to use the clue of the Wuling fisherman's whereabouts to pursue his ideals and vent his dissatisfaction."

Glancing at Huang Haopeng, his subordinate seemed a little off today, as if his thinking was too active.

Not as serious and old-fashioned as before.

"But it's also possible that Tao Yuanming just recorded these things, or he himself experienced these things. He just wrote what he saw from a different perspective."

"The Eastern Jin Dynasty inherited the old system and implemented the clan system to protect the privileges of the high-ranking gentry, nobles and bureaucrats.

Therefore, Tao Yuanming, who was born as a small and medium-sized landowner, had no opportunity to display his talents.

In the first year of Yixi (405), he resolutely resigned as magistrate of Pengze County, finally broke with the rulers, and retired to the countryside for a long time to cultivate remote fields. .
