The first snow in winter made Luoyang covered in silver inside and outside. On the Luo River outside the city, the cold wind blew and snowflakes drifted. Yuwen Wen looked at the bleak snow scene, and after a long time, he turned to look behind him.

A barrier like a wall was raised in the open space on the shore behind me. There were tents and smoke rising from the barrier, and laughter and joy.

Today, Yuwen Wen took his family to travel in winter and set up camp on the banks of Luoshui to prepare for a picnic. Among the picnic foods, there is a very special one called "Yanyue Wonton".

It's actually dumplings.

The history of dumplings has a long history, but it was not the name at the beginning. At least in this era, the name of the food that is shaped like dumplings in later generations is still "Yanyue Wonton".

At this moment, the concubines brought the little guys to make "Yanyue Wontons" and enjoyed it.

However, Yuwen Wen did not share the fun of packing "Yanyue Wontons" with his family, but slipped out, stood by the Luoshui River, and looked at the river view.

There was dumplings (sister-in-law) by the Luoshui River. A thought suddenly appeared in his mind: was the goddess Cao Zhi met by the Luoshui River? Was it the goddess of the Luoshui God Mi Fei, or was it alluding to his sister-in-law Zhen Mi?

Yuwen Wen was inspired by the Luo River and remembered a "historical unsolved case".

The famous "The Goddess of Luo River" (formerly known as "Ganzhen Fu") was written for the talented man Cao Zhi of Jian'an. He wrote down his encounter with the Goddess of Luo River on the banks of Luo River and his longing and love between him.

In this fu, Cao Zhi used beautiful words to outline the beautiful image of the God of Luo. Although the love between man and god is vague, it cannot be combined due to the different ways of man and god, and finally expresses infinite sadness and melancholy.

"The Goddess of Luo River" is a famous work throughout the ages, but the creative background of its work is not simple.

It is said that the reason why Cao Zhi wrote this "The Goddess of Luo River" was that he had a crush on his sister-in-law, the wife of Cao Pi, Zhen (rumored to be named Zhen Mi).

My sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy, and her sentimental brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is secretly in love with her sister-in-law but can't let go. There are only countless sighs at night...

Therefore, whether this classic written by Cao Zhi was feeling a fruitless relationship with his sister-in-law, or whether he dreamed of the Luo Shenfei in Luoshui with mixed feelings. Since the ancient times, there have been many different opinions.

More than a hundred years after Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo River" was published, Gu Kaizhi, a talented man in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, known as the "Three Excellent" (excellent talent, outstanding painting, and ecstasy), drew the "The Goddess of Luo River" based on Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo River" and became a famous work heirloom.

The picture scroll of the Goddess of Luo River is divided into three parts, which depicts the love story between Cao Zhi and the Goddess of Luo River in a tortuous and detailed and layered manner.

The first part is about Cao Zhi meeting the Luo God on the banks of Luo River. In an instant, the two fell in love at first sight.

The second paragraph depicts the scene when Cao Zhi (man) and Luo Shen (god) have to part with hatred. The third paragraph is the scene where Cao Zhi reluctantly leaves Luo Shu and turns back three times in one step.

In later generations, the whereabouts of the original manuscript of the Goddess of Luo River were unknown, and only a few copies were left, telling future generations the sad love story between Cao Zhi and the Goddess of Luo River.

Now, the original work of the Goddess of Luo River is in Yuwen Wen's hands. Of course, he knew that the Goddess of Luo River is a masterpiece of all ages, but because he was not very adaptable to the "ancient painting style", he actually couldn't see what was good about this painting.

In his opinion, Cao Zhi's sad and beautiful feeling in the so-called Goddess of Luo River in the picture of the Goddess of Luo River felt that it was the result of "over-interpretation" by later generations. He thought about this authentic work for a long time, and the thought that came out of his mind was...

If you like it, confess your love! So what if you are rejected? At least let your goddess know that you like her and you like her very much!

I don’t even dare to confess my love, I deserve you, a literary youth, to be unrequited!

And your sister-in-law whom you have a crush on was sentenced to death by her scumbag husband!

Afterwards, I was so sad that I drank wine by the Luo River. What else do I do? It’s useful!

According to Yuwen Wen's idea, the literary young man Cao Zhi deserves to be a dog-licking dog for the rest of his life. Otherwise, if he really wants to stay with his sister-in-law Zhen for the long term, he should fight with Cao Pi for the position of Prince of Wei.

If you fight for the position, you will usurp the Han Dynasty and become the emperor in the future. If you become the emperor, will it be easy to get your sister-in-law?

Although doing so will cause great reputation, what criticism do you fear if you like Zhen so much?

Even the overlord dared not even betray her, and he dared to say he loved her?

Yuwen Wen did not empathize with Cao Zhi's regret. What he loved was almost taken away by that time, but he chose to die with the foolish emperor and did not retreat.

Otherwise, even if you save your life, you will be like the rumored late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu, and your wife will be summoned to the palace by the emperor a few days later. She will have to be released after a few days. When she comes back, her legs can't be closed. The young couple can only hold their heads and cry, but they can't change anything.

Several whistles interrupted Yuwen's thoughts, and he followed the sound toward the river.

There are two ships on the river surface, one is a steam boat and the other is a steam boat.

Although it has already begun to winter, the water level of Luoshui is still acceptable, so the two steamships can still sail in Luoshui, but the two ships are obviously different: one ship has a paddle wheel on the left and right sides, while the other ship has no paddle wheel at all.

Prince Yuwen Weicheng hurried over and reported to Yuwen Wen that "everything is ready." Yuwen Wen nodded and ordered: "Then let's start!"

The horn sounded, and the two steamboats then pulled the whistle and sailed towards the upstream river section at the same time.

The paddle steamer was paddling forward against the paddle steamer, and a large amount of water splashes were stirred up on both sides of the hull. The other steamer, although there was no paddle, still had water splashes at the stern, and also moved forward.

At the beginning, the two ships "run side by side", but not long after, the steamship without paddle wheels gradually took the lead.

From "popping out" half of the hull to "popping out" one hull, then the distance between the two ships becomes larger and larger.

A steamboat without paddle wheels throws the paddle wheel steamboat behind.

The two steam boats have the same boat type, the same draft, and the same boiler. The only difference is the paddling method.

One is paddle wheel paddle, and the other is propeller paddle. The steam boat propeller paddles are obviously faster than the steam boat propeller paddle wheel paddles.

In the autumn of the sixth year of Mingde, paddle wheel propeller steamship was trial sailing in Huangzhou; ten years later, in the winter of Mingde, propeller propeller steamship, which was a result of countless people's efforts, was trial sailing in Luozhou.

On the shore, Yuwen Wen galloped and followed the leading steamship closely.

At this moment, his mount was running at a normal speed, and its speed was similar to that of a steamboat. If he drove the mount and ran with all his might, he could throw the steamboat away. However, Yu Wen Wen, who was cheering loudly, was reluctant to leave, and followed the steamboat and never left.

It seems that hundreds of years ago, Cao Zhi, who met the Luo god by the Luo River, was inseparable from the goddess in his heart.

In the winter of the 16th year of Mingde, I came to Dongdu and went out to Luochuan.

Seeing a beautiful woman by the Luo River.

Its shape is like a stunning geese and a gentle dragon.

Its body length and width ratio is six, cargo capacity is 2,000 hu, and it is equipped with a special ship boiler, and has an improved steam engine.
