Chapter 186: Six Arts Competition
I've found Senior Brother!Everyone, hurry up!" Not long after, the disciples of the Wufu Hall had already collectively rushed into the storage room.
"Senior brother, the teacher has said before, there is an important event today, and no one can be absent from the school hall, why are you still reading here!"
"Senior brother, you are the representative of our Wufu Palace, you must not be absent from this kind of activity, you can't delay it any longer, if you delay it any longer, you will be late!"
"I don't want to go!" she protested loudly, but no one else noticed.
"It seems that it's getting late, senior brother, this is the only book I found so easily, don't lose it. Ling Hao laughed and walked away.
A quarter of an hour later, under the leadership of Xi Yuan, Ji Qing and the two finally came to the scene of this important event-learning palace test.
"It's really lucky, I actually caught up with the palace test as soon as I came. ”
"What is so strange about that? ”
"The palace examination is not as simple as an ordinary martial arts competition, but the doctors of each hall select students, so that students can compete with each other according to the projects arranged by the palace, so as to increase the prestige and cohesion of each hall. ”
"In the beginning, the competition was the ...... of the six arts"
The six arts of course refer to the six skills that must be mastered: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.
As the aristocratic education system of the Zhou royal family, which began in the Zhou Dynasty in 1046 BC, the official school of the Zhou dynasty required students to master six basic talents: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.
From "Zhou Li Bao": "Raising the son of the country with Taoism is the six arts of teaching: one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five royals, five is six books, and six is nine numbers." This is the so-called "six arts" of "five meridians and six arts".
The Six Arts require students to master six basic talents: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. "Explanation of the Five Classics": "The six arts and several artists may replace [music] with [poetry], and those who use the poetry of the ancients to combine music are also authentic. ”

"Guangya": "Count, art." "It's just technology, methods, techniques.
Etiquette, do not learn "etiquette" can not stand, "Guanzi Herdsman" so-called "Cang Liao actually knows the etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know the honor and disgrace", folk marriage, funeral, school, apprenticeship, sacrifice since ancient times have the official of etiquette (Si Li), Confucius in the previous generation has been the official of the ceremony, Confucius is less that is, the practice of etiquette, "for the children to play, often Chen Yu Dou, set up etiquette" ("Historical Records, Confucius Family", in the national temple sacrifice, the ancient official standing Taichang Temple, ancestral hall and other ceremonial Yacao, the establishment of reading officials, praise Lang, worship and other ceremonial officials.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there were six departments: Suburban Society, Taile, Advocacy, Taiyi, Taibu, and Lixi, and in the Ming Dynasty, Taichang Division was set up, and Taichang Division was set up as Qing, Shaoqing, Cheng, Dianshu, Xielulang, Doctor, and Zanlilang.
If there is a "ceremony", there must be a "music" to celebrate the Yan Fang, and there must be the accompaniment of the five-tone palace Shangjiao Zhengyu, and the ancient government set up an official in charge of the music, and is responsible for the music of the celebration of the Yan Fang in the palace. History records that Confucius mainly had three teachers, and according to legend, he once "greeted the old man, learned to be happy with Changhong, and learned the piano from the teacher". Shi Xiang, a famous musician in the Spring and Autumn Period of Lu, one of Confucius's teachers, Confucius once learned to play the piano from him. In the "Historical Records", it is said that he "takes the chime as an official, but he can be in the qin". In the Tang Dynasty, the pear orchard set up a music official, which was composed of the pear garden teaching envoy, the pear garden envoy, the pear garden judge, the pear garden worship official, and the capital and the capital.
Shooting, "shooting" is one of the six arts in ancient China, Confucius said in the "Analects": "A gentleman has nothing to fight, he must also shoot, he rises and rises, and he drinks down, and his fight is also a gentleman." Therefore, "shooting" is not only a technique for killing the enemy and defending the country, but also a kind of self-cultivation and self-cultivation physical activity. Ancient Chinese "archery" consisted of two main sports: archery and slingshot, and the crossbow was also invented during the Spring and Autumn period.
Among them, archery has been more valued in history because of its very important role in military and hunting activities. Archaeologists have found a stone arrow 28,000 years ago at the Shiyu cultural site in Shanxi, which indicates that human beings have begun to use bows and arrows at that time.
Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty set up a martial arts system, in which nine criteria for selecting and assessing talents were stipulated, five of which were archery, including long stomping, horse shooting, foot shooting, flat shooting and barrel shooting.
The scope of "Go" is driving, but in both modern and ancient times, it includes "driving" in the fields of transportation and "driving" in the fields of politics, leadership, and management. Famous cases in ancient China include "Zhao Xiang Wang Xue Yu Wang Yu Wang Dynasty" and "Tian Ji Horse Racing", which shows that the art of control is not only a kind of fighting bravery, but also a kind of fighting wisdom, including the comprehensive optimization of a certain problem in terms of operations research, control and leadership.
Calligraphy, as the name suggests, calligraphy and painting art, it is wrong to count calligraphy and painting as a skill, calligraphy and painting in China is not only an elegant skill, but also a tool and magic weapon for cultivating the mind, many bureaucrats place their affection on calligraphy and painting, not only to exercise skills, but also an important means of cultivating sentiment and the embodiment of the ideological realm.
The specific name of the "Six Books" was mentioned for the first time in the Book of Han: "The ancients entered primary school at the age of eight, so the Zhou Guanbao clan was in charge of the country, and taught the six books, pictograms, elephants, images, sounds, transfers, pretenses, and the foundation of words." ”
Numbers, that is, mathematical numbers, have been extended to "mathematical, physical and chemical" numbers in modern times.
The ancient mathematics of Shenzhou has developed into a system very early, and the formation of the ancient mathematical system is marked by the appearance of the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in the Han Dynasty.
Ancient mathematicians attributed the origin of mathematics to the "Zhou Yi" and the "Hetuluo Book", such as the famous great mathematician Qin Jiushao during the Song Dynasty said: "Zhou teaches the six arts, and the number is real."
Bachelor's doctor, so he has never been a doctor. ...... From the river map, Luo Shu and the mysteries, the gossip and the nine domains are intricate and subtle, and as for the use of Dayan and the emperor, and the changes in personnel should not be, and the feelings of ghosts and gods can not be hidden. The "number" in the six arts should refer to natural and human changes, that is, the so-called "variables".
However, with the change of the times, the current items have changed and increased or decreased, such as riding archery, or comparing vertical and horizontal arts.
And in this school palace, there is no shortage of this kind of characters with their own merits, and the chief students of each school hall basically have their own strengths, not so much the six arts of the school, but a public stage for each school hall to test each other.
And Ling Hao, as a student of the palace, is at best an ordinary seat, and this kind of thing naturally can't match him.
At this time, he was taking out the fried lotus root clip he had just made this morning (fried lotus root clip is a local traditional snack in Hubei, which belongs to Hubei cuisine. This dish is a representative of Hubei cuisine, in line with the taste of the public, the raw materials are common and the price is moderate, and the preparation method is relatively simple. But in Hubei, on New Year's festivals or festive days, the three protagonists of Hubei vegetable meatballs, lotus root clips, and glutinous rice cakes are in charge, and other dishes may be leftover, but the lotus root clips are absolutely swept away. As one of the representative foods of traditional Hubei flavor, and has a long reputation) while watching the upcoming competition in the field, while eating snacks, like those who sit in front of the TV or computer screen to watch the football game in the future.
Yao Rong had already brewed tea leaves and poured a full cup for Ling Hao and Su Qian.
"Brother Ling, wouldn't this be very good, let the teacher see it, he will definitely punish us. Su Qian reached out and took a fried lotus root clip, and asked a little weakly.
"If Brother Su was so afraid of the teacher, he shouldn't have chosen to be his brother-in-law in the first place. Ling Hao smiled a little playfully.
"Who said I was afraid of him, I just ...... I'm just afraid that the teacher will reprimand me, and if he complains to my father again, I will definitely be taught a bad lesson. ”
"So you're worried about this. Ling Hao took a sip of tea nonchalantly, and then he saw several familiar figures in the attic opposite.
It's finally here.
"It seems that the sixteenth hall of the school palace has arrived this time, not bad, not bad. Deputy Mountain Chief Ji Xuan said with satisfaction.
