Broken Sword Becomes Dagger

Food oriented There is no dagger in the picture, just a laughing ear. The emperor's sword is used for rituals; the knight's sword is used for killing people; as for the short dagger, it is used for evil purposes. The above was all made up in 2011. After thinking about it for a while, I still haven't forgotten why, so I wrote down these ridiculous nonsense and reluctantly called them fan fiction. I'll write about the mistakes later. The source of this article is the TV series "Sima Qian". In the play, Ren An gave Shi Qian a bottle of poison before he was sent to prison so that he could commit suicide and avoid humiliation. However, Shi Qian still chose to live in pain for the sake of "Tai Shi Gong Shu". Eight years later, in the same late autumn, Ren An, who was also in jail, did not know that the Yizhi silk string that was supposed to be delivered to him was placed on the emperor's desk. When the emperor read it, he couldn't help but slap the case several times. He was shocked, angry and praised, and his emotions were so mixed that it was difficult to distinguish. After the emperor calmed down, the jailer who presented the letter mentioned another anomaly: the square ruler was rolled up with the dagger at its tail as its axis. The emperor speculated that Shi Qian also wanted to give Ren An a choice to commit suicide, but he could no longer confirm it to himself. The emperor played with the simple but exquisite craftsmanship, and found the descendant of the craftsman who forged it according to the inscription engraved near the hand guard. He was a craftsman under the rule of Xia Yang Tieguan. He admitted that this was a product of his deceased father and was given to his childhood friend. He did not want to see this thing again thirty years later. The emperor felt that the dagger was particularly sharp and wanted to adjust it to his residence. The craftsman declined, saying that he did not have this level of craftsmanship, and it was more because of the raw materials of the dagger itself. Their ancestral relatives were all well-known craftsmen in Zhao. When the First Emperor ordered the soldiers from all over the world to cast giant bells and soldiers, there was a shortage of craftsmen in the pass. The chief iron official, Ma Chang, recruited craftsmen from the six countries to fill the vacancies (it seems that he also moved to the six countries to fill the gap? Check again.). There was great chaos at the end of the Later Qin Dynasty, and the ancestors returned to the Three Jin Dynasties after being homesick. Although they traveled lightly, they still took away a few swords. His father had heard from his ancestors since he was a child that those swords were used in the Qin Palace, and they might have been used by the Emperor of Qin. Later, his father received a great favor from Guo Xie when he was young and wanted to use one of the coins as a thank you gift. Guo Xie refused, saying that it was a nobleman's sword and that it was too long to be used. So his father remelted the sword and made it into a short sword and sent it again. Guo Xie really liked it, so he finally accepted it and wanted to collect a hundred gold rewards. His father stopped him and only asked to be Guo Xie's neighbor. His father admired Guo Xie's loyalty and always followed him and was proud that no one could compare with him. Guo Xie tried to persuade his father, but to no avail. At this time, the craftsman hesitated and fell silent. The emperor vaguely recalled the sensational commoner knight thirty years ago, and asked calmly, "What happened to Guo Xie after he entered the Guanzhong and fled?" The craftsman said that his father had been following him. Later, Guo Xie settled his mother's family in Xia Yang. When he fled alone, he was determined not to let his father follow him anymore, so he deliberately asked his father to take care of his family. His father could not refuse Guo Xie's entrustment, and felt that it was a righteous act to save Guo Xie's family. After many instructions, I finally said goodbye to Guo Xie, and then he asked someone to tell my mother the details, and my mother also moved us to Xiayang. The Sima family who lived here for generations was quite famous, but because Sima Tan was an official in the court and had family assets, he was among the people who moved to the mausoleum. (There are probably many doubts here when Shi Qian's grandfather was there, and then the issue of clan separation is not very clear yet.) Sima was happy that his life was approaching and was unwilling to leave his hometown. After procrastinating to pack up the whole family, he sent someone to send Sima Qian to Maoling first, where he died alone in his hometown. Sima happy set up a private school in the ancestral hall, and I went to study with him. We children around ten years old learned books, numbers, etiquette and music, but Sima Qian learned differently from us. I asked him what he was reading, and he said it was "Li". But the same content is dictated to us and he has to read the tablets? He said that this was the difference between small arts and great arts. I was confused and didn't understand. He said that I would understand it naturally after I learned it (I didn't understand it either, and I hadn't learned it yet, so I went to read the book. But there was definitely something wrong here. Sima happy probably couldn't read that many classics, and judging from Sima Tan's direction of study, I guess Sima Xi Ma happy was also from Huang Lao's side. He was from the Confucian side of teaching? Maybe he could fool him by using the Zhou system and already worshiping Confucianism.) From then on, he got to know the local customs and went to his house to see the slips collected from his great-grandfather, and took him to his house to watch his father work. When his father knew that he was moving to Maoling, he asked him what he thought. He said that the elders wanted him to see more. His father laughed when he heard that he really knew little. One day later, Sima Qian returned Guo Xie's sword to his father on behalf of his grandfather, saying that someone from Chang'an had sent it to him. His father couldn't stop crying. He also came to say goodbye to me because my grandfather felt that he could not drag it out any longer. I wanted to give him something as a farewell gift. My father said that the sword was originally given by Guo Xie to Sima Xi. After receiving it, Sima Xi read the inscription and asked Guo Xie's family before sending it over. He simply asked me to pick it up and give it to Sima Qian. He thought for a while and felt that it was a bit funny for a child to carry a knife, so he hurriedly made it into a long dagger so that I could send it to him. However, when he thought about Guo Xie later, he lamented that he had not transformed his knife into a more perfect one. When Sima Tan was buried, only Sima Tan came back. More than ten years later, Sima Qian brought Sima Tan's coffin back. (Funeral customs still need to be made up, but on the one hand, there were no special regulations in the Han Dynasty at that time, and on the other hand, Tan Qian and his son seemed to be a special case in this matter). All rituals were simplified according to Sima Tan's instructions, but Sima Qian still stayed in Xia Yang for more than a year. His father, who had become an iron official craftsman in Xia Yang, asked him for the long dagger, carefully tempered it into a short dagger and gave it to Sima Qian again. Then I just heard from him and felt sorry for him. But at that time, my father was old and seriously ill, and I couldn't stay away. It wasn't until today that I saw the dagger again and learned about his current situation, so I missed him through boring narratives. The emperor thought it was an interesting story, so he gave the dagger to the craftsman and allowed him to go back and work as a craftsman in compliance with his wishes. Is this almost an outline? You probably need to have a thorough understanding of all aspects of Western Han Dynasty life and customs before you can write about it, right? A certain statement when looking up the information is also very interesting: the two people described in "The Assassin's Biography" and "The Ranger's Biography" seem to be similar, and the writing is similar but different. Perhaps the main author of the former is Sima Tan and the latter is Sima Qian. But because of the uncertainty of age, some say that they were all written by Sima Tan. It seems that the code was garbled once. Is that so? If you have any more questions, please leave a message and give me some directions. Thank you~
