    [1] "Northern Wind - Xia Que" Li Bai. Poem

    In December of Youzhou Missing Woman,

    ? Stop singing and stop laughing.

    Leaning on the door and looking at pedestrians,

    Nianjun's Great Wall is bitter and cold, but sad.

    Don't raise your sword to save the side,

    ? This is the tiger inscription and the golden scorpion.

    There is a pair of white-feathered arrows in it,

    Spiders spin webs and produce dust.

    Arrows are empty, and people who die in battle today will never return.

    Can't bear to see this thing, it has been burned to ashes.

    The Yellow River can still hold soil,

    North wind and rain are hard to deal with.

    Zhao Luanluan stood upstairs, leaning against the window, watching the passers-by.

    How she longed for her lover to appear in her field of vision: You went to the Great Wall to guard the border, why there is no news so far.  The Great Wall, what a bitterly cold place that is, you have to take care!

    When you left, you only left me a quiver with a tiger skin and a gold handle, and a pair of white feather arrows inside What do you mean!

    It has been hanging on the wall, and I dare not move it, and my thoughts will churn when I look at it.  When the envoys arrested me, I took nothing but this quiver and those two arrows.  I wear it on my back all the time and hold it in my arms when I sleep.

    Today, the arrow is still there, but why haven't you come back?  Some people say that you have already died in battle in the border townbut I don't believe it!  Why don't you write me a letter?  Are you really dead?

    How can I bear to see this old thing if people don't exist?  Or burn it!  

    Although the Yellow River is deep, it can still be fortified with soil, but the hatred of parting and death in this life is as overwhelming and boundless as the long north wind and snow.

    Shunhua ran out of the bedroom smelling a smell of smoke. Seeing that Luanluan was burning her beloved quiver, she rushed forward and snatched it out of the stove.

    "How did you burn it?" She fluttered the burning quiver with her hands, and muttered to Luan Luan, "You man, why are you doing this? I won't let you sleep in your arms at night, so you just burned it! Who the hell?  What!" She found a rag and wiped it again, then put two arrows in it, and hung the quiver on the wall again.

    Luanluan took Shunhua's hand and sat down, asking: "Sister Hua, if I leave, will you have to beg again?"

    "Go, where are you going? You can't have those bad thoughts!"

    "Is it true that you can't go back to your home?"

    "Leave me alone, tell me about you!"

    Luan Luan said listlessly: "I have nothing to say."

    Shunhua said: "Tell me about your plan!"

    "What can I plan."

    "Isn't it the palace examination in March next year? Can the emperor not return to Dadu in February? At that time, the Chagatai envoys will definitely leave Wanping. Tell me, we will all be free!"

    "So what if I'm free?"

    "You can go find your brother Liu!"

    "Should I go find him?"

    "Yeah, it's so close to the Great Wall, anyway, you'll have nothing to do when you go home, so you might as well go to the Great Wall to find him."

    "Yes, yes," Luan Luan stood up happily, "You can go with me, anyway, you can't go home!"

    Shunhua touched her belly and said, "I, I won't go!"

    "Oh~oh~" Luan Luan regained her spirits, "Well, I will write you a letter, and you can find someone to take it to Dongping to invite Mr. Qian."

    Shunhua asked worriedly: "Just a letter, old man, can you come?"

    "I have something else for him."

    After Luan Luan finished writing the letter, he folded it and said, "After your brother's illness is cured, can you go home now?"

    "yes!"

    "Then hurry up and find someone to deliver to Mr. Qian!"

    Shunhua asked again: "Didn't you say that there are other things?"

    Luanluan whispered in Shunhua's ear for a long time, and finally said: "Let Brother Heizi find a way to get it out"

    Shunhua jumped happily and went out of the room, bumped into the big long legs head-on, and teased: "Don't worry, you look very energetic wearing this green hat!"

    Seeing Shunhua wearing a big padded jacket and wanting to go out, he asked, "Where are you going?"

    "Go find Brother Hei!"

    "Shall I go for you?"

    "Need not!"

    [2] "Snow" Poetry by Luo Yin

    ? It is said that the good year is auspicious, what is the good year.

    There are poor people in Chang'an, so it is not advisable to do more for Rui.

    &nbsIn the early days, there were people with similar functions in the early stage of the slave society, which was the prototype of the original catcher.  According to historical records: Dayu worked very hard to control the water. Once he gathered the leaders of various tribes, which is what we call the water control summit, to discuss the issue of water control. The leaders of all other tribes arrived, and only one tribe leader Fangfeng  Shi later arrived.  Dayu ordered a trial, and finally executed Fangfeng.  This is the earliest record in our country's history books. In the early days of the slave society, a certain criminal suspect was tried and beheaded for execution.  It can be seen from the story that at that time, there appeared a group of people looking for evidence and arresting and interrogating people, which was the earliest embryonic form of the police.

    (1) Responsibilities of the police

    The catcher is usually dressed in casual clothes, with a badge on his waist to indicate his identity, and an iron ruler and rope in his pocket.  The foreman is called "capture head" and "team head".  The common people call the catcher "Catcher", "Pai Tou", "Tou Weng", "Pai Weng" and so on.  In the legal provisions of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, arresters are called "should be arrested" or "should be arrested", that is, "people who are originally responsible for arresting criminals."  In some Dazhou counties, the police are often equipped with horses to perform official duties, so they are also called "horse fast".  For hikers, it is called "fast step", "vigorous step" or "chuzu".  The number of arrests in the "main service" of each state and county is determined by the size of the state and county.

    The detection tasks undertaken by the police are all time-limited, called "ratio". Generally, 5 days is a "ratio", and a "ratio" is 3 days for a major homicide.  After a "limit", if the case cannot be solved, the police will be beaten.

    catching fast was a "low business" in ancient times, and it was strictly stipulated that their descendants could not take the imperial examination.  Even if they leave the police industry, their children and grandchildren are not allowed to take the exam within three generations.

    Why are you so strict on arrests?

    This is because the profession of being a police officer is looked down upon by others: first, it is unlucky to deal with criminals;  Therefore, taking part in the imperial examination is simply degrading and lowering the value of the official team.  After all, discrimination is the ugliest phenomenon in ancient society!

    There is no salary for the police, and the annual food subsidy is only about ten taels of silver. It is difficult to support a family, so extortion has become a trend. They often set up various names to collect benefits, and even negotiate with the state and county  Officials colluded, or made unjust, false and wrong cases, or expropriated the common people, and arrested them arbitrarily.

    (2) Who else was not allowed to participate in the ancient imperial examinations?

    As an important official selection system in Chinese history, the imperial examination system broke the monopoly of the traditional gentry status, and made it possible for the children of ordinary people to counterattack.  This seems to be an equal and fair opportunity. People change their destiny through knowledge and become respected officials.  But for those below, it's not so fair.

    1. Women

    It is the consensus of the entire feudal society that women are not allowed to take part in the imperial examination, which stems from the strong consciousness of patriarchal society.  In ancient times, women were regarded as men's subordinates. In the same class, men's status was higher than that of women. This was the orthodox thought of feudal culture and the foundation of patriarchal social stability.  In other words, if a smart woman takes the imperial examination and becomes the No. 1 scholar, and later becomes a high-ranking official and manages a group of big men, how embarrassing is that for a man?

    2. Criminals

    Criminals refer to those who committed crimes. Such people were not recognized by orthodoxy in ancient society, and they were looked down upon by the world. What they did was against the interests of the common people.  The imperial examination is to select outstanding people. They have noble morals, profound knowledge, and always have the interests of the people at heart.  It seems justifiable that criminals cannot take the imperial examinations, but should we give them an equal chance when criminals rehabilitate and want to be good people again?

    3. Ding You

    Ding You is the ancestral system.  Specifically, if the parents of a court official die, regardless of their official position, they must return to their ancestral home to observe the funeral for 27 months from the day they learn of the funeral.  After all, every dynasty and every generation of emperors advertised that they governed the world with filial piety. In this way, they could not leave their hometown to take the scientific examination for three years, and thus missed an opportunity to take the examination.

    3. Businessmen

    In the ancient social hierarchy, merchants had the lowest status, but they were the richest.  If they are allowed to take scientific examinations and become officials, then they will infringe on the interests of the people for their own self-interest, which is not conducive to the stability of the agricultural society.  The ruler naturally wants to impose restrictions to ensure social stability.

    Businessmen have money, but they cannot escape the castration of power after all.  Such as: Shen Sanwan, a wealthy man in the Ming Dynasty.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
