allusion

The 17th chapter of Li Baojia's officialdom in Qing Dynasty: "this kind of people will never die until they reach the Yellow River. Now we're not good at everything. We can just give him a one-stop plan. What do you think? " another saying is related to the winged birds: in ancient times, there was a small village near the Yellow River. There is a child named Liu Sheng, who is in a poor family. After helping his family to do things every day, his favorite thing is to listen to the calls of various birds in the deep woods behind his home. Gradually, Liu Sheng also learns to distinguish different types of bird calls. Slowly, he also learns the calls of various birds. After a long time, even the birds can't tell whether the sounds are true or false The birds in the sky are happy with him. Year after year, day after day. Liu Sheng also grew up. This year, Liu Sheng was 16 years old. His only mother was too tired to get out of bed and needed more money to buy medicine. However, there was no main labor force in the family. The mother and son worked hard every day just to feed themselves. How could they save some money to see his mother? In the past, when Liu Sheng was free, he would learn to listen to the beautiful bird calls for his neighbors, so Liu Sheng's popularity has always been very good. Two days later, the neighbor saw Liu Sheng go up the mountain to pick herbs every day, and asked him what was the matter. Liu Sheng told them all about what happened, but they were all poor people. Although everyone did something, it was not enough. When people had no choice, a neighbor said that a member of the village opposite Huang wanted to buy a young servant. If he sold himself for ten years, he would get ten liang of silver. The young man watched his mother become more and more ill, so he had to apply. Mr. Huang thought that he was good-looking, strong and intelligent, so he kept him. But he paid half of the money in advance, and the other half could only be taken back after ten years. When Liu Sheng took the money, he told his neighbors to take it back first, and he kept it. Mr. Huang asked him to take the servants' clothes, and later he was in charge of the garden. Besides, there is a daughter named Huang Ying, who is young and beautiful. But she is very fond of raising all kinds of birds, most like to listen to a canary call. Every time Liu Sheng raises flowers and plants grass in the garden, he can hear all kinds of bird calls. He is curious and goes to find out the truth secretly. " He happened to see a lovely girl among the birds, watching the beautiful canary singing. The beautiful song of the canary and the beauty of the Oriole soon moved the young man's heart, but he also knew his identity. No matter how hard he tried, he and she were impossible, so he only took her as a dream and hid her in the bottom of his heart. In the twinkling of an eye, two years passed. In the middle, Liu Sheng could only go back and lie down when his mother died. He spent the rest of his time in Huang Fu, taking good care of the flowers and plants. He was satisfied with the girl's happy laughter. He hoped that these flowers could open their most beautiful appearance in front of the girl's eyes. Even if she didn't know that he existed, it didn't matter. As long as it made her happy, it was the most important thing! It's a pity that the girl didn't care about the flowers all the time. In her eyes, she couldn't see anything except the Canary! But the bird always has a time limit for its life. Although the canary was taken care of by the girl, it died in the end after the death of her beloved canary, the girl was in agony and tears all day. His father bought another one for her, but it was useless. She was still so sad. At this time, Liu Sheng saw it. It was really heartache. He recalled that at that time, the bird's call, slowly think ah, learn ah, finally in his efforts to give him learned. He came to the girl's Embroidery downstairs, hiding in the flowers, slowly learning the Canary's cry, and cried. The young lady heard the familiar voice, she was happy and listened quietly, thinking that the Canary could not bear to be born again. After a while, the girl finally couldn't help calling the maid and went downstairs to look for the bird. At the beginning, Liu Sheng was so engrossed that he didn't notice anyone approaching. However, when he saw the person he was thinking about day and night in his heart, he wanted to run away again, but he couldn't move his feet. The girl was disappointed to see that the cry came from his mouth, but she was more curious. He asked Liu Sheng to teach him. Naturally, Liu Sheng was willing, but the call was not so easy to learn. Huang Ying did not learn it after a while, so he asked Liu Sheng to sing to her. Liu Sheng combined the thousand kinds of bird calls he knew before and soon attracted many birds to join in. The girl was even more happy when she saw them. They were so happy Like flowers before and after a long time. After a long time, councillor Huang finally found out about it, so he let all the family members arrest Liu Sheng, beat him half to death, and asked someone to carry him to the nearby Yellow River and throw him away. " "When the girl heard that her lover had suffered such a tragic event, she immediately burst into a pool of blood and fainted. She lost her life. Then they saw a beautiful one winged bird, which jumped out of the heart of the yellow warbler. The bird turned into a two winged bird and could not sing. It just ran towards the Yellow River. The bird only had its right wing and could not fly. Some people saw it Strange then followed in the past. Although the bird couldn't fly, it was very fast, and soon it caught up with the Yellow River. Liu Sheng, who was about to be thrown down into the Yellow River, closed his eyes when he saw the bird. Then he was thrown down by the servants. At this time, Liu Sheng, who was thrown down from the Yellow River, jumped out of his heart a bird with the same left wing as the beautiful bird, jumped up from the corpse that was about to fall down from the Yellow River, and joined the right winged bird that the girl had turned into, and flew to the sky. The birds sing their own songs and fly to their happiness. The bird's voice was so beautiful that everyone was attracted by it. Later, people said that the bird that could sing was changed by Liu Sheng's heart, while the bird that couldn't sing was changed by Huang Ying's heart. They really loved each other and became birds after they died. People called this kind of bird a double winged bird. From then on, there will be a double winged bird in the world. Some people were moved by Liu Sheng's perseverance and said, "if you don't reach the Yellow River, you will never die. It means that you have made up your mind to do something." It's a matter of time. There is such a saying in the world!
