Article 4 Short Ancient Folk Tales

During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Zhang Ce, a scribe of Houliang, was a young man of great talent and knowledge.

Once, when he was digging a well for sweet water in Dunhua Li, Luoyang, where his family lived, an ancient tripod was unearthed. The rusted and mottled copper tripod inscribed with a line of seal characters: "Wei Huangchu Yuanjun spring February, the craftsman Jiqian." The workmanship of the tripod was very fine and elaborate. Everyone in the neighborhood thought it was a rare artifact. We are very happy, as if we have got a flying fortune.

However, Zhang Ce looked at the tripod for a while, smiled bitterly and said: "Folks ah, not I say spoiled words, this 'ancient tripod' is a descendant of the fake, is by no means the treasures of the Cao Wei era."

The crowd was shocked. There is an old pedant but not convinced, sneered: "Alas! This kid is only twelve or thirteen years old, how do you know the authenticity of an antique hundreds of years ago?"

Zhang Ce's father, Zhang Tong, felt the same way and angrily chided, "You should be more humble!"

Zhang Ce was not angry, but just said softly and slowly to the old scholar: "Old sir, the late generation dare to say the basis, please teach."

The old scholar smiled and said, "I would like to listen to the high opinion."

Zhang Ce spoke eloquently, "In the 25th year of Jian'an, after Cao Cao's death, the name of the Eastern Han Dynasty was changed to Yan Kang. In October of that year, Cao Pi accepted the abdication of Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of Han, and became emperor, establishing the state of Wei and changing the year to Huangchu. This was the first year of Huangchu. May I ask where February came from? Evidently, the seal script on the ancient tripod says something like 'the first two months of the first year of Huangchu', isn't it too ridiculous?"

The old pedant and Zhang Tong heard, looked at each other, no longer speak.

The people have said, "Mr. Zhang Tong, why don't you take out the Three Kingdoms magazine to check it?"

"Three Kingdoms" was taken, and Zhang Tong opened the "Wei Shu" to see, indeed, the book recorded with Zhang Ce's statement is exactly the same.

The old scholar's face was flushed red, and he quickly said, "Little Ce is really a small genius who knows everything about things past and present!"
