What kind of person is Dong Fangshuo? Is it a feng shui master?
Dong Fangshuo wrote many works in his life, including Answering a Guest Difficult, On Non-Gentlemen, Sealing Mount Tai, Responsibility and the Wall, and Poems on Examining Children, which was later included in Oriental Taizhong Collection. Sima Qian called him a "funny hero" in Historical Records, and Xiahou Zhan, a native of A Jin, wrote On Dong Fangshuo Painting, praising Dong Fangshuo's noble character, wisdom and humor. Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in Tang Dynasty, wrote this article as a monument. Lingxian county still preserves this monument.
In the early days of Emperor Wudi's accession to the throne, people who were virtuous, upright and literate were widely accepted. Scholars and Confucian scholars all over the world have written to apply for jobs. Dong Fangshuo also wrote a letter to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. It cost three thousand pieces of bamboo slips when writing, and only two people can afford it. It took Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty two months to finish it. In his self-recommendation, he said, "I lost my parents in Dong Fangshuo when I was a teenager, and I grew up with the support of my brother and sister-in-law. I didn't study until I was thirteen, and I studied very hard. I have read enough literature and history books for three winters. At the age of fifteen, he learned fencing; at the age of sixteen, he learned poetry and read 220,000 words. /kloc-at the age of 0/9, he learned Sun Wu's art of war and manipulation of war, and learned the use of various weapons and the drums of soldiers advancing and retreating in battle. I also read 220,000 words in this book, totaling 440,000 words. I admire Lutz's brave words. Now I am twenty-two years old and nine feet three inches tall. His eyes are bright, like bright beads, and his teeth are white and neat, like arranged shells. He is as brave as Mencius, as agile as Qing Ji, as frugal as Bao Shu, and as loyal as Wei Sheng. I am such a person, enough to be the minister of the son of heaven! Chen Shuo took the death penalty and then worshipped. " Emperor Wu read Dong Fangshuo's boastful recommendation, praised his spirit and ordered him to stay in the bus department. His salary was not much, and he was not summoned by Emperor Wu. After a while, he was dissatisfied with his present situation. During a day's trip, I saw a dwarf and threatened him: "Your time has come! The dwarf asked him why, and he said, "It's useless for a dwarf like you to live in the world. You can't farm, you can't be an official and govern the people, and you can't go to the front with weapons. People like you are not good for the country, just living in the world and wasting food, so now the emperor will kill you all. The dwarf burst into tears after hearing this. Dong Fangshuo said to him, "Don't cry for a while. Here comes the emperor. Here he comes, you should kowtow and apologize. "After a while, Emperor Wu rode by, and the dwarf cried and bowed. Emperor Wu asked, "Why are you crying?" The dwarf said, "Dong Fangshuo said the emperor would kill us short people!" " Emperor Wu asked Dong Fangshuo why he said this. Dong Fangshuo replied, "Chen Shuo would say that when he was alive, and he would say that when he died. The short man is only over three feet long, with a bag of rice and 240 yuan. I'm over nine feet tall (1.94m), but I only get a bag of rice, 240 yuan. The dwarf was so full that I panicked. Your majesty is looking for talents. If you think I'm right and you're a talented person, please use me again. If you are not a talent, come back to me and don't let me waste food here. " The emperor smiled and appointed him to be summoned by the Golden Horse Gate, so that he would have more opportunities to meet the emperor.
