Shi Zhongshan's Traditional Culture

Shi Zhongshan was originally a strange mountain. According to legend, there are huge stones at the foot of the mountain, which look like a big clock and are magnificent; Passers-by waddled or curled up like bells. Some leisure writers who drank some ink thought that the mountain was named "Shi Zhongshan" because it was full of bells and dew and beautiful people.

When the origin of such a name spread to the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a much-told story about Su Dongpo. When the old man was in a bad mood, he did another set.

One day, he sat in front of a stone and didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly, the wind passed, and there was wind, perhaps the hum of the mountain. Anyone who has climbed the mountain and heard the sound of the wind knows that the sound of the wind blowing on the earth below the mountain is different. Anyway, Mr. Su Dongpo heard the bell and knocked on the stone with a small hammer. Or "Dangdang"-"it must be a bell", and Su Lao may have snickered slightly. Mr. Su Dongpo is a standard beard.

He continued to walk there for a long time, made textual research and thought that the evidence was conclusive and it was indeed a clock.

The old man was in a good mood for the time being. He wrote down that Shi Zhongshan didn't take this name because the stone was shaped like a bell, but this was rumored by his predecessors, and he had never been to the field for evidence collection. This is all nonsense! Through my own research, the big stone that the wind blows at the foot of Shi Zhongshan will give off a huge bell with high agitation-this is the authenticity of the origin of Shi Zhongshan's name.

Of course, Su Lao's original text is not written in this way. To put it bluntly, there are dozens of words, but the writing is different. As soon as I put pen to paper, hundreds of ancient words came (hundreds of ancient words are equivalent to thousands of words now). He thinks that people who make mistakes will also be scolded, and he thinks that the origin of Shi Zhongshan's name is correct. Because of Su Dongpo's pride, there are more beautiful stories in the world, and the beautiful story of Shi Zhongshan has been passed down from generation to generation, and Shi Zhongshan's name is even louder-beautiful Shi Zhongshan!

It's hard to say whether Mr. Su Dongpo's statement is right or wrong. Privately, he thinks Mr. Su's reasons are not very desirable. For example, how many people can hear the sound of the wind blowing Shi Zhongshan stones like bells now? But the old gentleman writes well and the article is more beautiful. Even if he made a mistake, he wrote beautifully. Wrong to spread Shi Zhongshan to every corner of China and make Shi Zhongshan beautiful and colorful. After thousands of years, it becomes clearer and clearer. Looking at the contemporary literary world, who can compare with the great writer Su Dongpo?
