Chapter 616: The Essence of the Scriptures

"Poetry and words, songs and words, sound and harmony." -------- "Shangshu"

It is said that Chen Long took a seat in the VIP seat of Zheng Xuan's lecture conference, and carefully observed the heavyweight guests attending the meeting at close range, and happily satisfied his yearning for the heroes of the Three Kingdoms. I have to say that Zheng Xuan, as a master of scripture, has long been famous all over the world, which has attracted many Xiliang bigwigs and the leaders of the big families around the Yellow River.

And Ma Yunluo's name as the first beauty gang leader in Xiliang, beauty and status are not general, attracting the covetousness and coveting of young talents from all the clans, who doesn't want to gain both wealth and sex, so the competition for the number of people in the Hundred Ethnic Conference will be very cruel and fierce, and the competition for her has started from this moment.

As the host, Ma Yunluo introduced the guests and then introduced the agenda of the lecture conference, that is, the rules of participation. In fact, there is no limit to the allocation of places, in the process of Zheng Xuan's lectures, he will always put forward some scripture questions for young talents to answer, as long as Zheng Xuan is satisfied, he will write the name of young talents on the whiteboard behind him, which is considered to be a ticket to recruit relatives in martial arts. Of course, in order to show fairness, there is also a special time period for Zheng Xuan to give questions to the poor scholars who are waiting outside the courtyard, but whether Zheng Xuan can write his name on the whiteboard depends on the creation of the ancestors. If you go to the whiteboard, it is no less than being admitted to the imperial examination, and the poor scholar may become famous overnight.

After announcing the rules, Ma Yunluo, who was dressed in white like snow, smiled and gave time to Zheng Xuan, and finally it was Zheng Shi's turn to appear. Zheng Xuan stood in front of the stage, like Confucius and Mencius descended into the world, everyone stood up and saluted to show respect for Confucianism, Zheng Xuan bowed slightly, and all the talents sat down one after another, and the audience was silent in an instant.

Zheng Xuan's voice was a little hoarse, as if it sounded from the desolation of the universe: "The essence of scripture is the first to recommend "Rites" and "Music", and among the "Three Rites", the "Book of Rites" is the first to be recommended; Among the "Book of Music", "Music Theory" is the first to be recommended. Confucius deleted poems and set books and music; All the saints are gathered, and the six classics are completed; arson in the tyrannical Qin, burning books and pit Confucianism; Inherited classics, ruined in one fell swoop. Han excludes books and respects Confucianism; Qilu Zhusheng, silently write the original scriptures; "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn" Five Classics; "The Book of Music" is difficult, and one of the six classics is missing; Sonorous and encouraging, it is difficult to say its meaning; The king of the river, the dance of the eight hundred people; to the size of the wear, and there is "Music Chronicle"; Five tones and six rhythms, the bell strings are continued. Zhou Li is again, fortunately even ah. ”

As a rookie who had never studied scriptures, he finally managed to keep up with the rhythm and understand that Zheng Xuan was talking about the bloody history of scriptures. Raising his eyes to see the group of Confucians on the seat shaking their heads one by one, I couldn't help but think of Zhuge Liang's tongue fighting against the group of Confucians, and it was really the spring thunder of the tongue that was able to wake up the sweet dreams of these scholars.

The opening remarks have passed, Zheng Xuan's voice changed, he no longer chewed the words, and continued: "Today's grand meeting, one is for preaching, and the other is for marriage. Both are generally important and indispensable today. After saying that, he winked at Ma Yunluo, causing a slight laugh. Although Ma Yunluo was down-and-out and generous, he still blushed on his face, and he couldn't imagine that this master of scripture also had a joking side, so he couldn't help rolling his eyes at Zheng Xuan.

Chen Long also smiled, the dizziness just now disappeared, it seems that although this Zheng Xuan is a professor, he also has an interesting soul. Sure enough, Zheng Xuan's first question came, and he asked: "All the gentlemen here, do you like music?" ”

The first question is the question of "Music", who dares to stand up and answer after the music is difficult, so it is silent all of a sudden. Zheng Xuan sighed slightly: "The etiquette is broken, and I have seen the happiness bad." How can you be happy without joy? Yin and yang are not in harmony, and only noise is left in the world. ”

Seeing that Master Zheng was disappointed, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads, who wants to come out and offer their ugliness at this moment? Chen Long thought to himself, this is a good time to get the first place, his head is hot and he was just about to stand up, suddenly Chang'an Du Ji Du Bohou stood up behind a thin young man, with black sideburns and a pale face, his appearance was quite similar to Du Ji, and he saluted forcibly with a stubborn face: "Master Zheng is on top, the boy Chang'an Du Shu Du Wubo, who has learned music for a few days since he was a child, is willing to be the first to sacrifice ugliness." ”

Du Yi's face in front of him remained unchanged, stretching out his right hand to hold his beard, but his eyes were looking at the ground. Du Shu is his eldest son, although his father came to listen to the lecture this time, if this cannon does not go off, I am afraid that the Chang'an Du family will be the first to be eliminated, and there is really no face.

Zheng Xuan saw that someone finally stood up bravely, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "It turned out to be the son of Du Bohou." I heard that Chang'an Du Bo is very studious, and he is happy to pay attention to literature and wine, so that the teaching is backward, so Hedong studies are prosperous, which is the way of Confucius and Mencius. The world is very lucky! ”

After saying that, he bowed slightly to show respect, and Du Yi couldn't help but smile. Chen Long thought to himself, this Zheng Xuan has the kung fu to praise people in person, and his emotional intelligence is not low.

"Sage Confucius said, what is the core of music?" Zheng Xuan finally asked the first talent question, and Du Shu immediately replied without thinking: "The sage Confucius said: 'Change customs, don't be good at fun. Therefore, the core of the so-called 'music' should be to change customs. ”

Zheng Xuan's smile grew thicker, and then he asked, "Very good." How to explain these four words and why is it so important? ”

Na Du Shu was a proper salute and replied: "Xun Zi said: 'The musician is also happy with the saint, and can be kind to the people's heart, which is touching, and its customs are changing, so the first king guided him to be harmonious with etiquette and music'. From this, it can be seen that good 'music' can change customs, influence the crowd, and achieve the goal of harmony between the monarch and the people. ”

Zheng Xuan nodded and said: "Indeed, etiquette and music can educate the people and make ethics orderly." Let me ask you again, what does the so-called 'five tones and six rhythms' refer to in music theory? ”

Du Shu was completely no longer flustered, and replied solemnly: "The so-called 'five tones' refer to the five tones that specify the distance between the scales, namely Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, and the so-called 'Six Laws' refer to Huang Zhong, Taituan, Gu Xi, Ruibin, Yi Ze, and Wu Shot. ”

Zheng Xuan seemed to be very satisfied with Du Shu's one-by-one answer, turned around and waved his hand, and his entourage wrote Du Shu's name on the whiteboard on the wall, which was considered to have passed the assessment. Du Shu fired the first shot, got off to a good start, and finally sat down a little proudly, and in the cheers and applause of everyone, Du Yi in the front row was even more bearded, and he could no longer hide his joy.

But Chen Long felt that Zheng Xuan was a little dissatisfied with Du Shu's lack of performance. Chen Long couldn't help but rise a trace of confidence, if you talk about Yixing and the past and the present, who in this world can compare to the Lord of the Green Dragon? The decisive place is bound to be won!
