1、 Hou Jiaying. China Today, Oct2007, Vol. 56 Issue 10, p62-66英文原文 Good fox, bad foxIn the 2,000 years of Chinese parables, the fox has always been a popular character. For the first time, they appeared before their prototypes. They were both kind and vicious. They gradually ingested peoples souls by

2、pretending to be glamorous and charming young women.In the Ming Dynasty （1368 - 1644）, the famous writer Pu Songlings story about the fox was described in his famous Strange Stories. He modeled them as beautiful creatures, reflecting human loyalty, love, generosity, justice and willingness. The virt

3、ue of helping others. In the past three centuries, readers who read Pu Songlings works have already regarded these characters as fox spirits rather than .Ma Ruifang, a Chinese scholar and expert professor, devoted himself to the study of Strange Tales of Liaozhai, and served as a host to interview p

4、rofessors from the University of Chicago. At that time, two professors who studied Pu Songlings work expressed great surprises. How did the 17th-century Chinese writer create the most famous story about foxes in the story of “Heng Niang”, the “Ghost Mother,” the “Ghost Story” of the 500 most-known s

5、tories in the Chinese society that was deeply rooted in the feudal system at that time. The implicit suggestion to his wife is that they should use womens tenderness to ensure that their spouses passion is permanent, just as lawyers rely on American newspapers and magazines in the 1980s to seek out

6、opposite-sex friends.The ideal world for womenThe plot in “Heng Niang” is a classic love of husband, wife and mistress. Heng Niang is a kind fox and is also a human wife. She has a neighbor called Hong Daye. Hong Dayi has one wife and one wife. The wife Zhu is far more beautiful than the little one,

7、 but she is only slightly older than her grandmother. However, to the surprise of Zhu, it is her husband Hong Kong that loves her. In the same way, Heng Niangs husband also has a small sister, who is obviously younger and more beautiful than Heng Niang, but he still loves her wife deeply. When Zhu a

8、sked Hengniang why she was like this, Hengniang told her that it was human nature to abandon old things, pursue new things, craving for something that was not available and full of mysteries. At Hengniangs suggestion, Zhu will take a lenient and generous attitude towards her husband and sister-in-la

9、w over the next month, allowing them to spend days and nights together. Heng Niang also suggested that Chu should change her appearance. In the next month, try not to dress up, wear old clothes, and keep yourself busy with housework. But on the last day of the month, she will put on new clothes, new

10、 shoes, design a beautiful hairstyle, and dress herself up. Just as Heng Niang had expected, the light of love returned to the eyes of Hong Daye. When he saw Zhu, and before dusk came, he would knock Zhus door. However, Zhu still complied with Hengniangs suggestion, using fatigue as an excuse to gen

11、tly but firmly rejected him. The next day, she followed the same strategy. On the third day, the sun had not yet landed, and the great cause slipped into her room and waited for darkness. That evening, the couple had spent the happiest night since their wedding. Afterwards, when the great cause aske

12、d her if he could spend the evening with her, Zhu expressed opposition and told him that he must wait another three days before allowing him to enter the house again.Zhu is pleased to tell Hengnian that she has regained her great business success. Heng Niang told Zhu to continue to use the female tr

13、icks she taught her because although Zhu is very beautiful, she lacks femininity, so her husbands passion is being revived and can only be short-lived. Heng Niang explained that charm includes a womans lifestyle, various behaviors, such as the way she walks, the way she speaks, and even her husbands

14、 eyes. Heng Niang instructs Zhu on all proper female habits and tells her to practise herself in front of the mirror every day. In this case, of course, Zhu eventually won back the husbands loyal love. The charisma mentioned by Heng Niang was defined by the famous writer and poet Luo Binwang of the

15、Tang Dynasty （618-907） as “The Charm of Fox” 1,000 years ago. He created this word and gave it its hidden meaning in a prose about Empress Wu Zetian who convicted him. In any case, the Queen should feel honored, not provoked by this allusion.Another story about fox in “Ghost Stallion” - Jiaona. This

16、 story praises the sincere friendship and love between man and fox. When a young scholar, Kong Xueyu, became seriously ill, his friend, a fox, advised him to let his sister Jiaona cure him. A young woman whose image and way of doing things is like the grace of a willow, full of tenderness and dazzli

17、ng wisdom, appearing around him. Jiao Na did a surgical operation for Conson and fed an elixir of elixir into his mouth. This medicine was depleted of her life energy and carefully cultivated. When Confucius resumed consciousness, he fell in love with the gentleness, quietness, beauty, and love of t

18、his young woman. Therefore, Confucius requested Jiao Nas brother to marry her. However, because Jiaona was too young to marry, her family made her than her big sister Song Niang instead of her. Matsugami was as beautiful and kind as Jiaona, and the couple had lived a happy and happy life.A few years

19、 later, Kongs friend, fox cousin, told him that there was a thunderstorm that would come to their home and that they would all be destroyed unless Kong Sheng could rescue them. In spite of his own safety, Kong Xueyi immediately responded to his request. On that stormy night, Kong Shou held a sword a

20、nd guarded the entrance to the cave where the fox family lived. Suddenly, a black whirlwind circled out of the hole and Jiaona was in the center of the hurricane. Confucius used his sword to make every effort to insert the black wind. In the end, Jiaona fell to the ground and was saved. As Kongs hel

21、p to her, Kong Sheng was attacked by lightning. Afterwards, the storm slowed down and the skies returned clear. The fox family was safe, but Conson was in danger. Jiao Na sacrificed the last elixir of life that had been made with a thousand years of practice and spit it in his long-lived mouth and o

22、nce again saved him. With Persians insistence, the fox family moved to live with him. In order to avoid more disasters, the fox family lived in seclusion in a quiet courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was only open to Kong Sheng and Song Niang. Several years later, Kong Sheng and Song Niangs childr

23、en grew up, and he became a grey-haired old man. He maintained close friendship with the fox cousin and the married Jiaona and their family.Xiao Cui is another lovely fox story. Xiaocui is a very cute and lively fox, but her appearance is a pretty young lady. One day, her mother took her to the hous

24、e of a surnamed family to steal. She seemed to want to abandon her daughter. The Wang family is a local family with a face, only one child, and it is a mentally retarded person. He was neither a playmate nor a man willing to marry him, but Xiao Tsui made a good friend with him and married him. Altho

25、ugh Wang Jia first liked Xiao Cui, her unruly manner aroused their resentment. They often scolded and reprimanded her, but Xiao Cui quietly accepted this treatment. When Wang Wang was framed by his political opponents, Xiao Cui used her wisdom to save the whole family in dire straits. Moreover, she

26、also cured her husbands mental illness. However, Xiaocui knew that her parents-in-law could never accept her rebellious attitude toward the feudal system at that time. She inadvertently discovered that a young woman looked like her and secretly arranged for her to replace him at the kings house. Bef

27、ore secretly leaving, Xiao Cui admitted to her husband that she was actually a fox daughter. Several decades ago, her mother escaped the thunder robbery under Wangs robe. At that time, Wang was sheltering in a temple. Although Master Wang did not realize that he had given the fox mother help, she fe

28、lt grateful for the reward she had at that time. It is for this reason that she left Xiaocui in her care.Evil foxRumors are often used to describe foxes. However, such clever and beautiful creatures are often described in ambiguity and humility. There is such an example in the rumors of tiger tigers

29、. This is an allegory of swindlers and rogues. It means that they will bend others to boast of their powerful power. Its origin was a story about the king of the Chu state two thousand years ago. The king asked his minister: There are rumors that the northern princes are afraid of the Chu Ling Yin Z

30、hao shirt. Is that really it? His minister answered the kings question through a parable: The king of the forest tigers eat a When it just captured the fox, the fox told it:You cant eat me because I have Gods instructions and let me be the leader of the beast. If you dont believe me, then go with me

31、 through the forest and see if There are other animals that dare to block my path. The tiger agreed. Sure enough, all the animals fled far when they were close. The tiger does not understand that animals are afraid of it, not foxes, that they dare not eat foxes.Minister Jiang Yi continued to point o

32、ut that the kings territories cover an area of 2,500 square kilometers, and the military power has reached a million people. All of them are under the command of the Shojo shirt. The northern princes are undoubtedly afraid of the zhao yi shirts, but his position is as the kings military powers controller and supreme imperial power. Jiang Yi warned that if the king is forced, his advantage will be weakened. Then the king gradually diluted Zhaos military power.The scolded foxShe is the leading actress in the God List and is a typical example of the evil fox.
