Idioms and allusions

Source: Volume 7 of Er Cheng Yi Shu: "hunting is not so good today. Uncle Zhou Mao said, "it's not easy to say, but it's just like before." The next 12 years. Because we see it, we don't know the result. " Note: "Ming Dao (that is, Cheng Hao) 17 years, good hunting. Twelve years later, at dusk, when I saw a hunter in the field, I didn't feel happy. " Cheng Hao liked hunting when he was young, but when he saw it in his old age, he didn't feel happy. Later, he used the words "I'm glad to see a hunter, I'm glad to see a hunter" to show that I can't forget my old habits. Cheng Hao, a famous scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, was known as Mr. Mingdao in the world. He was smart as a child, and he was very famous when he was young. His younger brother Cheng Yi is also a famous scholar. He often gives lectures. People call them "Er Cheng". Later, their theories were inherited and developed by Zhu Xi, who called them "Cheng Zhu school". When Cheng Hao was 16 or 17 years old, he loved hunting very much. Later, when he concentrated on his studies, he had no time or energy to hunt. Once, he said to his friend regretfully, "I don't have a hobby of hunting in the future." when a friend named Zhou maoshu heard this, he went to Cheng Hao and said, "that's not necessarily what you said. Don't make it that easy. I think it's not that you don't like hunting, but that you bury your mind. Maybe one day this kind of mind will sprout, and you will go hunting happily for a while, just like when you were young. " Cheng Hao could not agree with what Zhou maoshu said, but he just laughed for a while. Zhou maoshu's words were verified 12 years later. Once Cheng Hao came back from a trip. When I saw someone hunting in the field, I immediately thought of the fun of hunting, and my hands itched with joy. But he suddenly recalled what uncle Zhou Mao had said. He just suppressed his desire to hunt and went home. Cheng Hao, whose name is Bochun, is called Mr. Mingdao by scholars. He is Cheng Yi's brother, so he is also called "Dacheng". Cheng Hao was born in an official family. He became a scholar at the age of 25. He was a local official for the first time and made great achievements. During the reign of emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi began to carry out political reform. Cheng Hao was dismissed as an outsider because he disagreed with Wang Anshi and criticized the "new law" in Shangshu. After the death of Shenzong, zhe Zong succeeded to the throne, and the "old party" represented by Sima Guang came to power. Cheng Hao was called as Zong Zhengcheng. Before he left, he died of illness. Cheng Hao is a Confucian scholar, a famous philosopher and one of the representatives of Neo Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty. When people talk about Cheng Hao, they often associate with the image of a master who holds a book and does not laugh. After all, the Neo Confucianism of "Er Cheng" has a profound influence on later generations. who would have thought that such a Taoist master loved hunting when he was 16 or 17 years old. Hunting is probably the "Golf" in the literati circle of the Song Dynasty. You see, Su Shi also has a word: "Jin Mao Diao Qiu, thousands of riding volume Ping gang." Later, Cheng Hao began to study. Who was his teacher? It's Zhou Dunyi. Zhou Dunyi, whose name is Mao Shu, is called Lianxi. Many people don't know about him, but they are catchy about his love lotus. Although Zhou Dunyi accepted "Er Cheng" as a student, his temperament is quite different from those of the two students. He has a "mountain and forest ambition", a free and easy mind, and a spirit of immortality. After Cheng Hao went to school, he "overflowed in various schools". As he grew older and more learned, Cheng Hao had no time and energy to go hunting. For this reason, he once regretfully said to his friend, "I don't have a hobby of hunting in the future!" this sentence was heard by his teacher, Zhou Dunyi. The teacher didn't agree with it, so he went to Cheng Hao and said: "that's not necessarily what you said. Don't make it that easy. I think it's not that you don't like hunting, but that you bury your mind. Maybe one day this kind of mind will sprout, and you will go hunting happily for a while, just like when you were young. " Cheng Hao finally agreed with Zhou Dunyi, but he just laughed for a while. What teacher Zhou Dunyi said was verified 12 years later. One evening, when Cheng Hao came back from going out, he passed a field and saw people shouting and chasing in the field. Cheng Hao saw that someone was hunting here! Cheng Hao suddenly recalled the fun of hunting when he was young. He felt an impulse in his heart and felt his hands itch. But when he recalled what Zhou Dunyi had said, he suppressed his desire to hunt and went home.
