My 1979

Heaven Devouring War Emperor

Giant Owl

When Liu Yu and his brothers were young, they were hated by Wang Kai, who once summoned them to stay overnight, intending to get rid of them silently. He ordered them to bury him in a mortar, and after that he would be harmed. Shi Chong was on good terms with Yu and Kun. When he heard that they were staying with Kai, he knew that something might happen, so he went to Kai at night to ask where the two Lius were. Kai had no choice but to hide the truth, and answered, "I am sleeping in the back room." Shi then went straight in, led him out, and left in the same carriage. As the saying goes: "Young man, why do you so easily accept someone's accommodation?"

The Fighting Years

Wang Rong and He Qiao suffered a great death at the same time, and both were praised for their filial piety. The king used chicken bones to support his bed, and cried and prepared gifts. Emperor Wu said to Liu Zhongxiong, "Have you visited Wang and He several times? I heard that He was overly sad and distressed, which made people worried." Zhongxiong said, "Although He Qiao was well-dressed, his spirit was not damaged; although Wang Rong was not well-dressed, he was sad and weak. I think He Qiao was filial when he was alive, and Wang Rong was filial when he died. Your Majesty should not worry about Qiao, but worry about Rong."

The Goddess Above All

At first, there were dozens of people who annotated Zhuangzi, but none of them could understand its main points. Xiang Xiu explained the meaning beyond the old annotations, with wonderful and unique analysis, and promoted the mysterious style. Only the two poems "Autumn Water" and "Supreme Joy" were not completed when Xiu died. When Xiuzi was young, Yi died, but there is still another copy. Guo Xiang was a man of mean conduct but with great talent. Seeing that Hideyoshi's work was not passed down to the world, I secretly took it as my own. He added his own annotations to the two chapters "Autumn Water" and "Supreme Joy", and changed the chapter "Horse's Hoof". As for the rest of the chapters, he only added some fixed sentences. Later, Xiu Yi wrote a different version, so now there are two Zhuangs, Xiang and Guo, but the meaning is the same.

The Best Doctor

When Pang Shiyuan arrived in Wu, the people of Wu all became friends with him. When he saw Lu Ji, Gu Shao and Quan Cong, he compared them and said, "What Lu Zi said about a slow horse is that it has the advantage of being fast. What Gu Zi said about a slow ox is that it can carry heavy loads and travel far." Someone asked, "If what you said is true, is Lu the better one?" He replied, "Although a slow horse is agile and swift, it can only catch up to one person. A slow ox can travel a hundred miles in a day, but how can it catch up to one person?" The people of Wu did not object. "Quan Zi likes to have a good reputation, just like Fan Zizhao of Runan."
