洋猩說故事 Talovich Tells Stories

I am a tea freak. Tea has a long and glorious history. Today we are telling one part of that story, concerning the finest tea, pu’er.

To the best of my ability, the stories I tell are historical fact, not fiction. I dress up the stories to make them sound better, but they are all based on historical fact. This time, however, I am telling a folk story from Yunnan, and cannot vouch for how factual it is. But it’s a great story, one of my favorites, and I think you’ll enjoy it, too.

本猩說故事，一則求罕為人知的精彩經歷，一則求信史。此回說雲南民間故事，真假莫辨，但本猩覺得精彩。您說呢？有馬幫、馬鍋頭、押解官員、紫禁城品茶。

話說，清朝雲南濮茶莊要送貢茶進京，沿路發生了奇妙的變化。

古人表達法與我們不同，有時候不容易了解他們要傳達甚麽。

今天的故事從大禹的父母，鯀與有莘氏的女兒修己開始。修己吃了薏苡（薏仁）而懷孕，所以舜帝賜姓姒（苡、姒都從「以」得聲）。夏朝末，二龍出現，留下DNA（漦），千年後，童謠「檿弧箕箙，實亡周國」，小妾遇玄黿而千代美人褒姒出現了。。。好複雜齁。故事精彩，慢慢聽就明白了。

最近講鄭莊公、鄭武公，今說鄭武公出生前一年的事，西元前七七一年。申侯也上場。

擴展版圖，先把女兒嫁給了胡國的君主。犧牲了軍師關其思。

胡是赤戎後裔，申是西戎國。伐胡的故事出自韓非子、說難。

Our story today begins in 761 bce, when the ruler of Cheng/Zheng married the daughter of the ruler of Shen. Her first son was a difficult delivery, coming out feet first, so she named him Breech Birth and carried a grudge against him. She preferred her second (surviving) son, Tuan / Duan, and encouraged him to overthrow Breech Birth, once he had succeeded to the throne, as Ruler Chuang / Zhuang, which means "impressive."

東周初年，西元前七六一年，鄭武公娶了申侯女兒，叫武姜，生了寤生、共叔段。媽媽偏心，希望弟弟可以篡位，看鄭莊公怎麼處理。沿途發生很多破音字，如共（一聲）、祭（ㄓㄞˋ）、洩洩（ㄧˋ ㄧˋ）與借字（寤/啎、忤），可是故事照樣精彩。
