文學中的山水清音

        古代有個「迂仙」，天性很笨。有天下雨，迂仙穿著借來的衣服外出，因道路泥濘慘摔，不小心跌傷一隻手臂、衣服也沾上不少泥汙。

僕人見狀，趕忙扶起迂仙，並邊走邊為主人按摩。迂仙立刻命令僕人住手，說：「你快拿水來洗我的衣服，手臂壞了，和你沒有關係。」

        僕人知道主人很呆，反問：「既然手臂受傷，您都覺得無所謂，那又何必關心一件衣服呢？」

        迂仙說：「手臂是我自家的手臂，誰會向我索討？」

        遇到這種本末倒置、毫無理性分析能力的主人，只好隨他，又能如何？

       In ancient times, there was a "Zhu Xian", who was very stupid. One day was raining, and Zhu Xian was wearing the borrowed clothes. Because of the muddy, he slipped and fell over and accidentally got injured on one arm and the clothes were stained with mud.

       When the servant saw this situation, he quickly helped master up and massaged. Zhu Xian immediately ordered the servant to stop and said, "You are going to wash my clothes immediately. The arm was broken and it has nothing to do with you."

      The servant knew that the master was very stupid and asked: "Since the arm was hurt, you don't care, then why care about a piece of clothing?"

      Zhu Xian said: “The arm is my own arm. Who will ask me for compensation?"

When you encounter such a master who is so irrational, what can you do? As long as he’s happy, just done it.

    P.S. 迂仙和愚公的寓言故事不同: 愚公是大智若愚, 而迂仙的迂是屬於迂腐的迂、不知變通的迂。因此, 在許多關於迂仙的故事中, 作者馮夢龍的每一條記載, 都離不開調侃的語調。
