Chapter 123: A Strange Beggar!
The heat of summer is not blocked by the shade of those potted flowers and plants outside the house, so the temperature in the house is a little high, Wang Yao because of the relationship between those growth potions, so the body temperature has been kept at a very normal level, and he will not sweat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the old man Jin is different, although he is asleep, he has been turning over on the bed, coughing from time to time, looking at the old man's thin figure, Wang Yao's eyes are full of worry.
Old Man Jin's spirit is very good, not even worse than Mr. Qigong, but the nutrition is too poor, Wang Yaogang looked at himself in the kitchen, except for a corner of the yard where some vegetables are planted in a small yard, there are basically no vegetables in the old man's house, because there is no refrigerator, there is that kind of special cured meat in the south.
This kind of cured meat is a product of Sichuan, it is salted and can be stored for a long time in the summer, but the taste is extremely salty, so it is usually fried in a pot without salt.
There are not too many fresh vegetables and meat to supplement nutrition, and the old man is also old, and he will definitely not be able to bear it for a long time, Wang Yao frowned and thought about how to help the old man, so as not to embarrass the old man.
He knew that although the old man lived a poor life, he would definitely not accept alms from others, which was a kind of style.
The old man's coughing made Wang Yao a little distracted, but Wang Yao still helped to rewrite the unfinished manuscripts with a brush, and sorted them out, waiting for threading.
The old man Jin Wensheng still used the kind of manuscript paper in the past to bind it with twine after writing, and then wrapped it in a book cover, because this kind of manuscript paper is very cheap, and now the kind of bookbook that is bought is five cents for a Tianzi grid, only thirty pages, and five cents can buy at least more than 100 pages of larger manuscript paper.
Sorting out manuscripts is a somewhat complicated process, not simply copying books, because many manuscripts are temporary records of the author, so it is necessary not only to record them completely, but also to mark, tone or source, and so on.
These manuscripts are the posthumous works of Gao Yuanjun, a master of fast calligraphy, and there are a large number of old passages that were almost destroyed during the revolution, all of which are treasures that have been passed down for a hundred years, and they are the treasures left by these old artists who are desperately persecuted and sacrificed their lives.
may be because of the shadow left at that time, Master Gao Yuanjun did not hand over all these ancestral things to the organization, but left a part of them for Jin Wensheng, hoping that these things can continue to be passed on among the people.
When sorting out these manuscripts, Wang Yao was holding a pious mind, respectfully and meticulously sorting them out, and did not dare to relax in the slightest, for fear of neglecting the efforts of the sages.
Wang Yao tidied up motionless like this, until nightfall, for fear of disturbing the old man who was still asleep, Wang Yao did not dare to turn on the light, but lit an oil lamp for lighting.
The old man seemed to be really tired, and he didn't mean to wake up after sleeping all afternoon, but what made people happy was that the old man Jin didn't seem to cough anymore.
Wang Yao finished sorting out the entire manuscript, which can be regarded as more than 200 pages that Old Man Jin had sorted out before, and this manuscript has a total of nearly 400 pages.
The moment Wang Yao stopped writing, the system also gave a hint.
'The host collects the complete repertoire of "Bamboo Board Quick Book", "Water Margin"'
Bamboo board fast book and Xihe drum are a kind of storytelling, but there are some gaps in the way of performance, Xihe drum is known for rapping, bamboo board fast book in addition to rap and physical movements, because bamboo board fast book is mostly a heroic theme such as "Water Margin", so there are often physical movements to increase the stage effect.
Fast-paced rap and vivid physical performance make this art go abroad, which is the so-called rap.
There are more than 100 sub-segments in this "Water Margin" sorted out by Wang Yao, which are adapted from some classic plots in "Water Margin", among which Wu Song's has 25 sub-segments, such as "Jingyanggang", "Tiger Tune", "Happy Forest" and so on.
It is rumored that the origin of the bamboo board quick book is that it was developed by thinking that SD's down-and-out martial arts champion collected some small pieces written by the local Wu Song's story and performed martial arts on the bamboo board.
Speaking of this Wu Zhuangyuan, some people speculate that he is the greatest philanthropist in the late Qing Dynasty, private educator Wu Xun, who was born in SD, has the reputation of 'Ancient Beggar', because he was recorded in the official history as a beggar.
In ancient times, beggars could not be counted as human beings, at most they were on the same level as animals, and had no status at all.
But this Wu Xun is a strange person, his original name is Wu Qi, the seventh in the family, lost his father at the age of seven, began to beg for a living, was hired as a child labor at the age of fourteen, and was bullied by his employer because he had no knowledge.
At that time, he realized what a terrible thing it was to be illiterate without knowledge, and decided to beg for a career, in order to prevent more children from being harmed by these black-hearted businessmen and suffering the same illiterate as him.
So he began to beg at the age of 20, begging for ten years, at the age of 30 in Guantao, Tangyi, Linqing 3 counties of more than 300 acres of land, his way of begging, at the beginning of the singing of beggars, later not good at learning can only learn donkeys, horses, cattle and other livestock The cry attracted people's ridicule.
What's even more peculiar is that when he was begging, he would also tell everyone his dream of begging and learning: "Pick up the thread, wrap the thread egg, and devote yourself to cultivating a righteous college; ”
Along the way, countless people ridiculed him for wanting to run a school as a beggar, which was wishful thinking, but Wu Qi silently persevered.
Ten years later, Wu Qi bought a field in his hometown to prepare for the establishment of a school, and the rest of the money was lent to merchants in the form of loans to earn interest.
Another nineteen years later, Wu Qi was forty-nine years old, at this time he already had a hundred acres of fertile land, more than 4,000 hanging money, even richer than the squire, but he still begged along the street never stopped and never enjoyed himself, has always been to save money to build a school, and it is a fellow villager who helps him plan the school.
Wu Qi's actions made Yang Juren of the same township very appreciative, but seeing that he was old and had no children, he persuaded him to marry a wife and have children first, but Wu Qi did say, "Don't marry a wife, don't have children, cultivate righteousness and selflessness." The mind made Yang Juren throw himself to the ground.
When Wu was seventy or fifty years old, he finally established the first school, spent 4,000 yuan of savings, hired local people to teach, and personally knelt down to beg those poor children to go to school.
He spent 30 years kneeling and begging to run a school for the children of poor families, and he also knelt to beg the children of those poor families to come to school.
On the first day of school, Wu Qi had to worship the teacher first and then the students, and this ritual lasted for many years. Every time he hosted a banquet to entertain the teacher, he invited the local gentry to accompany him, while he stood outside the door, waiting to kowtow to the food, and hurried away after the banquet to eat some leftovers.
Wu Qi seems to have an obsessive and pious attitude towards education and knowledge, he is obviously a headmaster-level figure, a great benevolent person, but in the face of students and teachers, he seems extremely humble.
He knelt down to thank the diligent teacher, and he knelt to be vigilant to the lazy teacher.
Once the teacher overslept during a nap, and the students were playing in the school, Wu Qi went straight to the teacher's room, knelt down and sang loudly: "Mr. sleeps, the students are messing around, I come to kneel and beg, it's a hundred." The teacher was very ashamed and would never dare to be lazy in the future.
For students who are greedy for fun and don't study seriously, Wu Qi will kneel down and tearfully persuade "You don't need to study hard, and you will have no face to see your father and brother when you go home."
It is said that men have gold under their knees, but this man in his fifties may not have bowed down when he beggs, but he bowed down to these students and teachers, this kind of fanaticism for knowledge moved everyone, teachers did not dare to be lazy and taught hard, and students were dissatisfied with slackness and studied hard.
Wu Qi used such a humble and pious, even praying way to keep the school going, no one understood what he was for, for money, or for fame?
Two years later, Wu Qi cooperated with a local monastery to establish a second school, and Wu Qi still used the money he begged to run the school.
Wu Qi wholeheartedly set up a righteous school, in order to avoid the burden of his wife's room, he did not marry a wife in his life, did not buy a home, his brother relatives and friends repeatedly asked for funding were rejected by him, he sang: "Regardless of relatives, regardless of the reason, I have repaired several places for righteous learning." ”
Later, the SD governor heard about Wu Qi's righteous deeds and was shocked, so he went to visit in person, raised two hundred taels to raise donations, and exempted the students and teachers from servitude and taxes, and gave Wu Qi the name Wu Xun.
Take the meaning of 'training in the world'.
At the same time, Emperor Guangxu personally awarded Wu Xun a plaque of 'benevolence'.
Wu Xun's righteous and good deeds shocked the government and the opposition, and the Qing court awarded the title of 'Yi Xuezheng' and rewarded him with a yellow coat.
Wu Xun died in his private school, and the record of "Qing History Manuscript" said, "(Wu Xun) was sick, and when he heard the sound of recitation, he still opened his eyes and smiled."
He was 59 years old.
On the day of the funeral, all the officials and gentry of Tangyi, Guantao and Linqing counties sent the funeral and were buried on the east side of the Chongxian School in Liulin Town, Tangyi County in accordance with the will of Wu Xun. More than 10,000 villagers from all counties automatically participated in the funeral, and there were crowds of spectators along the way.
It is a truly great personality that has earned such a great reputation.
People can't understand Wu Xun's kneeling and praying for the school, but they will be moved by Wu Xun's spirit of selfless dedication.
The spirit of Wu Xun was admired by the descendants, and the Qing court built a monument for him in recognition of his great contributions to the cause of education.
