Profile

It is said that in the Western Jin Dynasty, a young farmer named Wang Zhi went up the mountain to collect firewood and came to the cave entrance. Wang Zhi is bold and curious. He thinks that people say there are immortals in the cave. Why don't I go in and have a look? Because the hole is very small, it can only pass through one person. The depth of the hole is more than three Zhang, and the width and height of the hole are about two Zhang. Wang Zhigang went into the cave and saw nothing. In an instant, light seemed to come in from the top of the cave. Two children were playing go. Wang is good at playing chess and is attracted by the superb chess skills of the two children. As if no one had entered the hole, the two children ate jujubes while playing chess, and sometimes handed them to Wang Zhi. After watching a game of chess, the child said to Wang Zhi, "you should go home, too." Wang Zhi leaned over to pick up the axe. Unexpectedly, the handle of the axe was rotten and only the iron axe was left. When Wang Zhi came back to the village, he didn't know anyone. He asked the villagers about his parents and found out that they had been dead for more than 100 years. Since then, later generations have called this mountain "Langke mountain". Similar to Liu Yiqing's youminglu of the Southern Dynasty, there are stories about Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao who met fairies and returned home after half a year for hundreds of years.

Source of allusion

Yu Xi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote Zhilin in the reign of emperor Mu Yonghe (345-356): "there is a stone room in Xin'an mountain. When Wang Zhi enters the room, he can see two boys playing chess and watch them. Before the end of the game, it was considered that his cutting salary had been rotten, so he returned to the village A few words, the characters, things, causes and consequences clearly. Concise text, but also contains a wealth of meaning, people endless aftertaste, reverie. According to Yu Xi's records, the book of Jin records: "when Wang Zhi entered the mountain, he saw two children's go. When you sit and watch, the axe is rotten. " During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (471-476), Li Daoyuan quoted Dongyang Ji as saying in the book of Zhejiang water, Volume 40 of shuijingzhu: "there was xuanshiban in Xin'an County. In the Jinzhong Dynasty, there was minwangzhi. When he cut wood to the stone room, he saw four children playing the piano and singing. Because of his stay, he relied on Ke to listen to it. The boy with a thing such as jujube seed and quality, quality contains it will no longer hunger. In a moment, the boy said, "where are you going?" he went away, and the axe was rotten. It's been decades since I've been home, and my family's affection has withered. There's no time for me to return. " There are many differences between this record and Yu Xi's. Li Daoyuan's account is very specific and vivid, but it is obvious that Li Daoyuan is a northerner and has heard something different. Yu Xi is a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. It should be said that Yu Xi's narration is more appropriate. Shuyi Ji, written by Ren Fang (460-508), a member of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, states: "in Shishi mountain of Xin'an County, the woodcutter Wang Zhi cut wood to the highest level in the Jin Dynasty. See the boy several people chess and song, quality because listen to it. The boy uses one thing as the quality, such as the jujube seed, which makes him hungry. After a while, the boy said, "why don't you go?" when you start to see, the axe will be rotten, and when you return, there will be no one to return. " The title of the book of Sui, jingjizhi, is "biography of Dongxian", which says: "Wang Zhi, a native of Dongyang county (Xin'an was under the jurisdiction of Dongyang county at that time), went into the mountains to cut trees, and met several children in the stone room, singing and laughing at go. The essence is the view of the axe. The boy with a thing such as jujube seed and quality, make contain its juice, then do not feel hungry and thirsty. Tong Ziyun said, "you have been here for a long time, but you can return it." The quality of the axe has been rotten, and it has been hundreds of years since the quality came home. " In the Qing Yuan period of the Song Dynasty (1195-1200), Zhu Mu wrote in his Fang Yu Sheng Lan about Lanke mountain in Quzhou: "when Wang Zhi, a woodcutter of the Jin Dynasty, entered the mountain, he suddenly saw two boys playing chess under the bridge and watched with their axes. The boy said, "your axe is rotten!" when he came back, he saw that the village had reached the centenary cloud In addition, Zhang Junfang's yunhang Qijian also recorded this matter. There are many articles about Wang zilanke in Ming Dynasty, such as shangyoulu by Liu Yongbin, Qingxia Dongtian travel by Hu Han, and langkeshan by Liu Wenming. In the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty (1573-1620), Xiao Liangyou wrote in his dragon whip shadow: "King Zhi of Jin, a native of Quzhou, went to the mountain to cut wood to the stone room, and saw two boys playing go. The character set axe to watch it. The boy took things like jujube stone and character, and contained them without hunger. Even worse, the axe is rotten. It has been hundreds of years since I came to my home. After returning to the mountain, he got the way. People often see it because it is named "langkeshan." In the early Qing Dynasty, Cai Fangbing's "revised Wenyu Ji" recorded: "Quzhou Fu mountains and rivers: Langke mountain, south of Fu City, a stone chamber, the Taoist Scripture is called the eighth cave of Qingxia. When the woodcutter Wang Zhi entered the mountain, he saw two boys playing chess. If you look at things like jujube seeds, you will not be hungry. At the end of the game, Shi Zhi said, "your axe is rotten!". In addition, Yu Yu, Liu Zhaoyuan, Wang Guanwen, Zhou Hong. Gu Yuanxi's "longjianhu manuscript", "dijinlou", "Yiyuan sketch", "Jieyuan anthology", "lanyinguan manuscript" and other books all contain the monographs about Wang Zhiguan's chess.
