Chapter 204: Erection of the Monument Title
In the morning, a large number of Jinshi have gathered in front of the Tribute Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and the title of the gold list has gone for more than half a month, in the days of the celebration activities, it is the most proud time of their lives, and now they are summoned to the Tribute Academy, which is to pay homage to the first saint and the first teacher, and it is in vain to thank Confucius for the blessing of his old man, and he has today's scenery. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, the way of Confucius and Mencius became the orthodox academic of Chinese feudal society, as the founder of Confucianism, Confucius, naturally also worshiped by the dynasties, and the literati and Confucian scholars of the past dynasties also worshiped Confucius as a sage and teacher.
Moreover, after worshiping the first saint and the first teacher, it is to carve the inscription tablet for the Jinshi, in order to pass on the posterity, which is the legendary Liufang Baishi, which is an extremely glorious thing, where will the Jinshi shirk, and they will come happily one by one.
All sacrificial activities are very cumbersome, and like this kind of ritual of worshiping saints, if it is better to say that Confucius alone is better, the problem is that there are only a few ancient sages who can be called saints, and there are even more Confucian scholars at the division level, hundreds of jinshi, who start worshipping from early in the morning, until noon, the ceremony is mostly carried out.
At this time, the weather is clear, the sky is cloudless, if it is autumn and winter, it is a fortunate thing, and now it is April summer, there is no dilution of clouds, the golden sun shines down directly, and many Jinshi are kneeling and worshipping, the body can be described as sweaty, I can't hate to be shirtless, cool down, but in this solemn occasion, who dares to do such a humiliating thing, can only forcibly endure, sneak loose clothes, or wipe sweat with a soaked silk handkerchief.
Finally, when the official burned the prayer and announced the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the Jinshi secretly stood up as if the Buddha was relieved, showing a joyful smile, without scruples, the weather was really hot and annoying, and the sleeves of the ancient robes were relatively wide, so there was no need to remind them, and the Jinshi waved their sleeves to take advantage of the wind.
Occasionally, a few hard-working taxis took out the books they carried with them as fans, and fanned them with smiles on their faces, of course, there are also people who are naturally afraid of heat, and they carry fans all the time, not to mention, which makes others envious, but before these people were secretly complacent, everyone's attention was focused on the hands of Chu Zhen, Feng Jing, and Teng Maoshi, to be exact, the fans in the hands of the three people.
I saw that under the scorching sun of Chu Zhiren, there was no trace of sweat on his forehead, and while talking and laughing, the delicate and elegant folding fan in his hand swayed slightly, looking so chic and handsome.
"Xiuying's fan, why is it so ...... Different? Someone couldn't help but ask, and his eyes didn't take his eyes off the folding fan.
"What's weird, this is called a fan, but it's really rare to have a fan." Although folding is not a popular thing, after all, there are also well-informed people who come out to explain their questions, Teng Maoshi quietly glanced at Chu and nodded with a smile, but he did not say anything and shook it gently, and he looked even more personable.
Actually, not at all. I saw three people holding folding fans. Chic and dignified. has already attracted everyone's attention. Fortunately, everyone is a local person. No matter how hot your eyes are. Keep your demeanor as well. There are also people who want to borrow a look. But he didn't dare to speak because he was reserved.
See what others are thinking. Chu Zhen smiled and said, "Two days ago." I was playing in the city with Shi Xiuying. It's hot. Sweat rained down. Suddenly, I saw a fan for sale in a shop somewhere. It's quite elegant. The shape is also novel. It's not as small as a small fan suitable for a little lady to flutter butterflies in flowers and catch the moon and fly lightly. I bought a few handles. It's still quite comfortable to use. â
The reason why folding fans can replace group fans. It became the beloved of the literati. To a large extent. It is also because the fan is small and chic. From ancient times to the present, it has been deeply loved by women. Slowly evolved into their personal ornaments. Manly husband. Naturally, I am embarrassed to swagger through the market with women's things. Make people laugh. After the appearance of the chic folding fan. Nature has become an indispensable line of merry youth.
"It's really something new. There seems to be calligraphy and painting on the fan surface. Someone chimed in. I don't know if Chu Zhen invited Di Tuo.
Alerted by someone. Everyone's eyes fell on the fan again. I saw the three of them in the hands of Chu Zhen in the fan. Or green mountains and green waters, insects, fish, birds and beasts, flowers and trees. There are also words of poetry attached to it. Between inches in a small place. It forms a playful painting environment.
What is Ya. What is sex. In the hot summer. Others wipe sweat with sleeves or silk handkerchiefs. And people are comfortable shaking the handle of the fan, delicate and beautiful. When the fragrant wind lingers. You can also enjoy the calligraphy and painting on the fan surface. It's an indescribable enjoyment. Aware of the envious gaze of the crowd. A smile quietly bloomed at the corner of Chu Zhi's mouth. Know you're halfway there.
When discussing the exquisite elegance of the folding fan, everyone has come to the inscription stele forest of the Tribute Academy, since the first year of the founding of the Song Dynasty Jianlong began the first imperial examination to take scholars, according to a tablet at a time
There are already more than 30 stone tablets in the place, and after coming here, the books are reprinted ă§6k Literature Network Îąp.
People gradually shifted from the folding fan to the inscription tablet, with excitement and reverence, looking at the great achievements of the ancestors.
Thinking that his name will also be engraved in it in the future, leaving his name in history and being worshiped by future generations, no one can hide his excitement, if it is not for the courtesy officer around, I am afraid that some people can't help but cry with joy.
The system of the inscription of the Jinshi is generally standardized, the stele is decorated with the main moire pattern, the basic engraved with a unified seal character "Ci Jinshi inscription", the material is white marble, and the format of the inscription stele is the inscription of the stele name, the stele body is the content of the text, it is engraved in a straight row in block letters, the stele body is divided into two parts, the upper part is the royal edict, affirming the motive purpose of the imperial court to open the branch to take the scholar, accompanied by a series of beautiful words, and the lower part is the list of Jinshi.
Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, from the deepest part of the stele forest to a stele forest with obvious traces of relatively new, with red silk cloth covered in front of the stele, no need to remind, everyone knows that this stele is the inscription of the current science and technology scholars, hundreds of jinshi scramble to watch, but unfortunately there is a red cloth block, can not see the content of the above, people are anxious, have begged to look at the ceremonial officials.
"The auspicious time has not yet arrived, so don't worry." The ceremonial officer said with a smile on his face.
In ancient times, the saying of good luck and evil entered the hearts of the people, and what to do, they all paid attention to the good fortune and avoided the evil, and when they heard the words of the courtesy, everyone had no choice but to hold back their anxiety and wait for the so-called auspicious time to come.
I was anxious, and the weather was hot and sultry, and the Jinshi, who had just felt cooler, began to sweat profusely again, especially when I saw a few people in Chu Qian, stroking the fan and shaking it slightly, relaxed and comfortable, the more envious I felt in my heart.
Finally, when the ceremonial official said auspicious, with the concerted efforts of several Jinshi, the red cloth on the stele was torn off in an instant, and when he brushed it, the front of the stele was immediately crowded with anxious Jinshi.
I saw that the upper part of the inscription is the beginning of the royal edict, which is the official name and name of the written edict, that is, the words written by Zhao Zhifeng, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and then the text of the inscription, which is nothing more than how many people have been admitted to this department.
Nearly 500 Jinshi names and places of origin are densely engraved on the front of the stele, and the upper part of the stele has the content of the edict and the like, and the rest of the space is not much, so the name of the Jinshi is not too big, some Jinshi who stand too far away, can't see their names at all, they are in a hurry, they can't help but squeeze hard, and the scene suddenly becomes extremely lively.
Finally, when the one hundred and ninety-eight jinshi found the location of their names one by one, they scattered with satisfaction, and eagerly expressed the excitement in their hearts, and the ceremonial officer also stood up and announced the end of the title activity, allowing all the jinshi to move freely.
It is rare to make a pilgrimage to the Tribute Academy, and there may not be a chance to come again in the future, of course the Jinshi are not willing to leave so quickly, and they are in groups to watch the other Jinshi inscriptions in the stele forest, looking at the names of the senior officials and ministers who are familiar with each other, but it has aroused the ambition of many people, and they are all named on the stele, since they can do this, then they will not be far behind.
If you are a modern person, you will be excited and difficult to suppress, and there will be many choices to express your emotions, but in ancient times, especially the literati, generally speaking, there was only one choice, that is, to fill in the lyrics of poetry.
When the scholars were inspired and the poems were gushing, there was a problem, this is the stele forest of the sacred temple of the ancestor of the Gongyuan, next to it are stone stele buildings, occasionally a few trees, but there is a lack of the four treasures of the study necessary for the poetry and lyrics, and this time it is to worship the holy master, not to participate in the literati banquet, no one has prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Although there is no shortage of people with strong memory among the Jinshi, occasionally a few can still be unforgettable, and the poems they compose, in a short period of time, will not be forgotten, but the literati who have been accustomed to leaving ink treasures when chanting the wind and the moon, there is no pen and paper in front of them, and they always feel that something is missing.
Of course, since someone can carry books, then naturally there will be people who carry pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the problem is that there are more monks and less porridge, hundreds of Jinshi, one person and one poem, there are hundreds, and some people make poems, are mass-produced, can carry paper, certainly not too much, of course, can not meet the needs of everyone, there are a few clever Jinshi, immediately thought of going to the Gongyuan to ask the officials for it, although everyone felt a little embarrassed, but helplessly, it can only be so.
