Twelve Floating Lights

Cut off the spring breeze and never return

Luo You from Xiangyang had great poetic talent, and was often called a fool when he was young. Once I visited someone's temple and wanted to beg for food, but I went too early and the door was not open. The host went out to welcome the god and asked why he was here at such a bad time. He replied, "I heard about your temple and wanted to beg for a meal." Then he hid beside the door. At dawn, he had his food and left without any shame on his face. He was a man who recorded his merits. He followed Huan Xuanwu in pacifying Shu. He visited the city walls, palaces, and buildings of Shu, as well as the width and narrowness of the roads inside and outside, and the number of fruit trees and bamboos planted. He memorized them all. Later, Xuanwu Piaozhou and Jianwen Collection were collected, and friends also participated. We talked about things in Shu together, and there were some things we had forgotten. All the friends were listed without any mistakes or omissions. Xuanwu checked the records of the city walls and palaces of Shu and found that they were all as he said. Those sitting there were amazed. Xie Gong said: "How can Luo You be inferior to Wei Yangyuan!" Later he became the governor of Guangzhou. When he was in charge of the garrison, the governor Huan Huo told his order not to stay overnight. He replied, "The people have already done this in advance. The host is poor, and may have money for food and wine. We have a long history, so please accept your orders on another day." Zheng Xi secretly sent people to investigate. On that day, he went to the home of his assistant in Jingzhou, where he felt very comfortable and at ease, just like a successful person. In Yizhou, Yuer said, "I have food utensils for five hundred people." Everyone in his family was shocked. Its origin is clear, but the sudden appearance of this thing must be the 250 stacks of black bamboo.

Remarriage March

Ruan Xuanzi discussed the existence of ghosts and gods. Some believed that ghosts existed when people died, but Xuanzi alone believed that ghosts did not exist. He said, "Nowadays, those who see ghosts say that they cut off the clothes they wore when they were alive. If ghosts exist when people die, do clothes also have ghosts?"

Extraordinary Taoist

The head blamed Qin Ziyu and said: "You are not as good as Wen Yong of Taiyuan, Xun Yu of Yingchuan, Zhang Hua of Fanyang, Liu Xu of Shiqing, Zou Zhan of Yiyang, and Zheng Xu of Henan. These few people are either outspoken and have no sense of rhythm or are naive and seldom talkative, or are too eloquent and have too many gestures, or are noisy and lack wisdom, or have a mouth like glue, or have a head like a pestle. But they are still impressive in their literary talent and detailed in their ideas, and they are like dragons and phoenixes, and they have all ascended to heaven."

Single woman

Lu Zhi asked Lu Shiheng in the crowd: "What are Lu Xun and Lu Kang to you?" Lu Shiheng replied: "You are like Lu Yu and Lu Ting." Shilong was dismayed. After leaving the house, he said to his brother, "Why are you like this? How could he not know me?" Shi Heng said sternly, "My ancestor's name is known throughout the country, how could he not know me? How dare you, you devil!" The debaters doubted the superiority of the two Lu brothers, and Xie Gong decided it based on this.

Xiuxian Apartment

When Chen Yuanfang was eleven years old, he waited for Yuan Gong. Yuan Gong asked, "Your lord is a virtuous man in Taiqiu, and people far and near praise him. What do you do?" Yuan Fang said, "My old father is in Taiqiu. He comforts the strong with virtue and the weak with kindness. He lets them do whatever they want, and they become more respected over time." Yuan Gong said, "I used to be the magistrate of Ye, and I did just that. I wonder if your lord follows my example or if I follow your father?" Yuan Fang said, "Duke Zhou and Confucius were born in different eras, but they were the same everywhere. Duke Zhou did not learn from Confucius, and Confucius did not learn from Duke Zhou."
