The sun after the snow is like flowing water, elegant and restrained.

Under the banyan tree in the center of Xiahe Village, Zhu Ping'an and others picked up the pen, spread out the rice paper, dipped the ink into the pen, and the pen walked away from the dragon and snake.

The persuasion couplet is none other than Pu Songling's couplet, and he also used this couplet to comfort a scholar who fell on the way to the last children's exam. Because this couplet is so classic, the whole couplet is majestic and inspiring, and this couplet has become a famous sentence for the ages, urging many people. I believe that this couplet engraved on this monument will definitely be able to urge future generations to forge ahead, and it will be a contribution to Xiahe Village and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Where there is a will, there is a way, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all;

The hard-working people do not live up to the sky, and the salary is paid for the courage, and the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. ”

After writing this couplet, Zhu Ping'an thought for a while, and wrote another couplet:

"Men don't show their ambitions, and they are born with an eight-foot body."

This sentence has also had a great impact on later generations, inspiring countless people, and its meaning is very clear and inspiring, that is, it wants to tell people to work hard in their lifetime and not to be a person who does nothing. Theoretically speaking, this sentence will not be said by Feng Menglong in "Warning the World" decades later, but writing it out today should have a greater effect.

After writing these two sentences, Zhu Ping'an put away the pen, and the village boss and others on the side held the brush with a completely soy sauce mentality, and did not write a few words; Zhang Juren on the other side of the pen is like a god, has written a couplet, the pen has also been put away, not ready to write a second pair, holding the village hometown treasured tea, slightly blowing the tea, savoring.

belch

The uncle next to him, Zhu Shouren, has a very good posture, a kind smile, an elegant posture, horizontal eyebrows and a flowing beard. Of course, the green scarf on his head and the confident gaze are indispensable, and a couplet has been written. I was writing the second couplet, and I was very confident and fast, and about three minutes later, Uncle Zhu Shouren's second couplet came out.

"I'm ashamed. Ashamed ......" Uncle Zhu Shouren said humbly after receiving the pen.

After the village elder and the village were all written, they also put away their pens, and put aside the rice paper on which they had written a few words without blushing or panting, and said self-deprecatingly that the book will be hated less when it is used. They weren't going to write it. I have the consciousness of being a green leaf.

So at this time, there are only two couplets written by Zhu Ping'an, one couplet written by Zhang Juren, and two couplets written by Uncle Zhu Shouren.

A couplet written by Zhang Juren is: "The heart is higher than the sky, and the ambition is unrewarded; Determined to become a talent, everyone can be Yao Shun. ”

In fact, in terms of level, the couplet written by Zhang Juren is very good, but it is slightly inferior to Zhu Ping'an's two couplets, especially the first couplet.

Uncle Zhu Shouren's two pairs of confident couplets were also placed on the table, together with Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Juren.

"Wear the stars and the moon and read more; Yunfan went straight to school. ”

"The faint ink plum Ling Han is alone this year, Ruixue is a good year; Top Gun will send happy students to the golden autumn next year. ”

Uh, how can I say it, the couplet written by the uncle is full of smoothness. But that's it, and it feels a little cheesy, and I don't feel much after reading it, but the uncle is very confident in these two couplets, and after writing it, he still has a sense of accomplishment.

After the uncle put the couplet on the table, he first glanced at the couplet written by Zhang Juren, well, Zhang Juren is worthy of being Zhang Juren, and this couplet is indeed better than his own. The uncle, who was originally very confident and confident, had a little more restraint on his face, but he was still quite optimistic about the couplet he wrote, after all, he had been thinking about it for many days.

And then. The uncle stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Ping'an's two couplets again, but saw the first pair, "Where there is a will, there is a way, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all; The hard-working people do not live up to the day, lying on the salary to pay for the gall, and the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu" couplet, the uncle's breathing was short, and he dragged off a small handful of the beard on his chin with a shake of his hand, and his face was red like a boiled prawn.

After reading the two couplets written by Zhu Ping'an, Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at the two couplets he wrote. I can't wait to go back in time, so it's good if I don't write it myself.

Placed together, the contrast is too great.

After Zhang Juren read the two couplets written by Zhu Ping'an, he was amazed and full of praise:

"Although Zhu Xiandi is young, he has a deep foundation, the use of the dictionary is flexible and innovative, the upper and lower links echo nature, and run through the clouds in one breath, such as flowing water, and the upper joint uses the allusions of Xiang Yu to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and break the Qin soldiers, and exhort the younger generations to have Xiang Yu's determination to fight to the end and have no hesitation. The next joint is an allusion to the Yue Wang Goujian's lying down salary and tasting courage and destroying Wu Xue's shame, encouraging future generations to learn from the Yue Wang Goujian's perseverance of hard work and self-encouragement. Doing anything, with determination and perseverance, will it still not be successful? The whole couplet is magnificent, inspiring, and breathtaking. ”

"Zhu Xiandi's second couplet is short and capable, 'The man does not show his Lingyun ambition, and he is born with an eight-foot body', life is so long, if there is no fighting spirit, if you don't work hard, how can you experience the glory of the moment of success? People should work hard in their lifetime and not be a person who does nothing. ”

"It's wonderful, I'm a little enthusiastic when I read these two sentences."

Zhang Juren was full of praise and sighed at the two couplets written by Zhu Ping'an, and when he saw the couplets of his uncle Zhu Shouren, he didn't express any opinions after reading them.

This move made the uncle who was already a little ashamed of himself next to him even more embarrassed.

"Brother Zhang has an overreputation, 'The heart is higher than the sky, and the ambition is unrewarded; Determined to become a talent, everyone can be Yao Shun', Brother Zhang's couplet is more inspirational, and it will definitely become the driving force that inspires our students in Xiahe Village to study hard and make progress. Zhu Ping'an arched his hand and said, "Uncle's two couplets, well, are also excellent." ”

It's also excellent

After listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, Uncle Zhu Shouren's face turned even redder......

Where are Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Juren being humble to each other, touting each other, and finally the village is breaking the siege, and the couplets of Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Juren are engraved to inspire the future generations in the village, of course, in the mind of the village, Zhu Ping'an's first couplet is to be engraved on the stone tablet, and the other couplets can be engraved elsewhere.

Muramasa's words made everyone happy, and the matter of erecting the monument was over.

"Persuade the younger generations that spirit is precious, and material is also indispensable. I have been able to study so far thanks to the care of the whole village. Since it is to persuade the younger generations, I will also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and hand over the 50 taels of congratulatory rites given to me by Brother Zhang Juren Zhang to the village to buy grain as "learning valley", so that the children in the village can study with peace of mind, and the students will be provided by the village every year with a number of "learning valleys". Ping An is young and inexperienced, so I will ask the village and the village elders to do this. ”

Zhu Ping'an said that he handed over the 50 taels of congratulations given to him by Zhang Juren to the village zheng, and asked the village zheng and the village elder to be responsible for the affairs of the "school valley".

"For the sake of the village, I hope the village is bothering a lot."

The village was about to resign, but Zhu Ping'an insisted on putting 50 taels of congratulations in the hands of the village, and the village accepted it after a few resignations.

The village elders and onlookers in the village were full of praise for Zhu Ping'an's behavior, and many onlookers in the village applauded loudly.

"Brother Zhu Xian's high style and bright festival is really a model for my generation."

Originally, Zhu Ping'an's literary knowledge had already made Zhang Juren admire, and Zhu Ping'an's behavior at this moment made Zhang Juren even more amazed by Zhu Ping'an's character.

Of course, not everyone thinks so, for example, when his mother Chen saw Zhu Ping'an hand over 50 taels of silver to the village to buy "Xuegu", she pinched Zhu's father's arm on one side......

Zhu Ping'an's reputation also spread farther and farther with the two couplets and the move of "Learning Valley" in the village. Shanghe Village, Gushan Town and the surrounding areas heard Zhu Ping'an's name, and there was no one who didn't give a thumbs up. (To be continued.) )
