Li Bai jumps over the moon

In front of the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, there is a Wende Bridge. According to the elders, when the moon is on the fifteenth day of the winter moon, standing at the bridge head and looking at the water, the shadow of the moon reflected in the water is just divided into two halves: one on this side of the bridge and the other on the other side.

why does the round shadow of the moon split in half? Here's a story.

It is said that Li Taibai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once came to Jinling (now Nanjing) and stopped at a restaurant next to Wendeqiao. It happened to be the fifteenth day of the winter moon, and in the evening, he sat alone in the restaurant enjoying the moon, drinking and reciting poems. Li Taibai loved the moon best in his life, saying it was clean and beautiful. That night, he looked up and saw that the moon in the sky was white and round, and he was very happy, so he drank a few more cups. In the middle of the night, Li Taibai took advantage of removal and went downstairs to Wende Bridge. As soon as he stepped onto the bridge, he bowed his head and suddenly saw the moon fall into the water. As the river moved, several black lines were added to the white moon shadow. Li Taibai was drunk at this moment, thinking that the moon was polluted by the river. Without taking off his boots, he opened his hands and jumped off the bridge to catch the moon. Who knows this jump, the moon didn't catch it, but it broke the moon in the water and suddenly split into two halves. -The story was handed down like this. Later, people built a platform next to Wende Bridge, which is said to be the place where the great poet Li Taibai enjoyed the moon.

Wang Anshi treats guests

When Wang Anshi was prime minister, relatives of his daughter-in-law went to Beijing to meet Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi invited him to dinner. The next day, Xiao's son dressed up and thought that Wang Anshi would be invited with a feast. At noon, I felt very hungry, but I was afraid to leave. It was a long time before Wang Anshi ordered a seat. None of the dishes are available. Xiao's son felt strange about it. After drinking a few glasses of wine, I served two pieces of Hu cake and then four pieces of meat. Dinner will be served soon, and only a vegetable soup will be placed next to it. Xiao's son is arrogant and indulgent. No longer pick up chopsticks, just eat a small part of the Hu cake, leaving all the sides. Wang Anshi took the remaining four sides for himself to eat. Xiao's son felt ashamed and went back.

Su Dongpo's riddle anecdote

Su Dongpo, a famous writer, calligrapher, poet and gourmet in the Northern Song Dynasty, was one of the eight great poets in Tang and Song Dynasties, and was a representative of the uninhibited poets. There are countless anecdotes in his life.

once upon a time, two scholars went to Beijing together to take the exam. They walked all the way, chanting poems all the way, and it was very lively.

On this day, they came to Taihu Lake in Xueyan, Changzhou. It was hot, and they were thirsty. When they saw a peach forest in front of them, they wanted to pick some peaches to quench their thirst. As it happens, an old farmer who was over sixty years old walked out of the peach grove, and the scholars explained their purpose to the old farmer. The old farmer smiled and said, "To eat my peaches, there must be one condition. I'll make a crossword puzzle for you to guess. If I guess right, I'll give it to you for free. If I can't guess right, I'm sorry. Please pick peaches elsewhere! " The two scholars thought it was difficult to guess a riddle! Therefore, he repeatedly urged the old farmer to come up with a riddle.

The old farmer said unhurriedly, "The two words' No' are upside down, the two words' Eight' are closely connected, and the word' Ten' stands in the middle." The two scholars froze after hearing this. Look at me, I look at you, and no one can guess.

As luck would have it, Su Dongpo came back from visiting friends in Wuxi and happened to pass by here. He saw two scholars muttering something in their mouths stupidly. When he asked, he said, "What's so difficult? Listen, I also wrote a crossword puzzle, and the answer is the same word as Lao Zhang's crossword puzzle. It looks like' no' on the top, and it looks like' no' on the bottom. It's either not going up or not going down. Hearing this, the old farmer nodded again and again and said, "Yes! Yes! Good answer! Good answer! I don't know Mr. Gao's name? "

Su Dongpo signed up, and the old farmer immediately admired him and said, "So you are Su Xueshi who has done many good things for Changzhou people! Please eat peaches, please eat peaches. "

The two scholars were ashamed and were about to turn away when the old farmer stopped them and let them eat peaches together. The two scholars thanked Su Dongpo for bowing, and Su Dongpo solved the mystery, which turned out to be a "meter". At this moment, the two scholars were filled with emotion: "It's really a threesome, there must be my teacher, and there is no end to learning!"
