"Don't say that a woman is not a heroic creature, she sings on the wall of the dragon spring every night!" This is Ms. Qiu Jin's poem. What do these two lines of poetry mean? It can be understood as the courage and courage of a heroine. But if the poem is interpreted only from the literal meaning, will the sword hanging on the wall really roar at night?

Yes, this is true!

When I was very young, I heard my father tell the story of his childhood. There is one thing that I still remember deeply. My ancestral home is in the rural area of ​​northern Anhui, and my father grew up in the countryside there. When he was a child, he had some weapons left by his ancestors, such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds. However, in my father's generation, there were no martial arts practitioners in the village, and these ancient cold weapons were placed casually at the base of the wall and other places.

My father said that on a night when there was a moon, when the moonlight shone into the house through the window paper, you could hear these weapons making clear sings. This sound was like singing lightly, or crying, and it was particularly clear in the quiet night. My father heard this sound more than once when he was sleeping when he was a child, and no one thought it was strange. It seemed that weapons that were full of blood should have a roar at night.

If this kind of thing is told from others, it may be a horror story or a mysterious story, but it feels like water when it comes to my father. I don’t doubt the authenticity of the matter at all, because I know what kind of person my father is. A rural child who is diligent and motivated was admitted to university in the 1960s and later became a water conservancy engineer and flood control expert. He received the party’s education throughout his life, and his belief in matter-based governance has never wavered. When he talks about these things, he is as calm as if he is talking about a rain one day.

I asked my father about the origin of these weapons. He said that this was left during the Nian Army Uprising in the late Qing Dynasty. The place in my hometown was the center of the Nian Army activities. I was very interested in these things, and even thought that this might be a valuable antique, so I asked where it is now. My father said calmly that when the steel was made in 1958, they were all collected and made steel. Some things of that generation were really disgusting!

Later, I was a little older, and when I read a passage from "Water Margin", it evoked my memories. In the 27th chapter of "Water Margin", "The mother Yasha sells human flesh on Mengzhou Road, and meets Zhang Qing from Wudu's head cross slope", Zhang Qing said to Wu Song: "It's a pity that a man was seven or eight feet long, and he also ruined the numbness. The villain was a little late and had removed him four feet. Now he only had an iron ruler with a head head, one was soaked and the other was here. Nothing else was tight, and there were two items that were the most rare: one was a few beads made of one hundred single eight human head bones; the other was a ring knife made of two snowflakes and iron. I thought this man killed many people. Until now, the knife would roar in the middle of the night."
