Chapter 11 (129) Xiaoman (8)
Shang Yuan wanted to misunderstand Chen Pu, and Chen Pu was indeed faithful, but he forgot that there were not only Chen Pu and Nanyang in this study, but also a king of Dingzhou and Tian Xiu. The king of Dingzhou didn't say anything, he was as honest as a fool, but Tian Xiu was not a person who could be coaxed lightly. She was already suspicious of Mr. Youque's past and origins, and Shang Cheng said that Zhou Xiang had half of "Shu Dao Difficult" in his hand, which was quite a bit of a desire to cover up in her eyes. Three of the four stickers were written by Shang Cheng, "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" was written in Fangzhou, and "Attacking the Heart" was written in the capital, and the time and place were in line with Shang Cheng's itinerary, and she had just heard that Shang Cheng was resolutely opposed to the southern expedition and advocated appeasing the bureaucrats who were rebelling in the southwest...... With so many clues gathered together, she suddenly had some guesses in her mind.
But she didn't say anything, and then discussed two sentences with Nanyang Chen Pu, and then she pretended to be interested and came over to sit down and drink water.
She drank two sips of tea soup, chewed another date, looked around at a few calligraphy and paintings in the study with her face high, and saw Shang Cheng holding a scroll as if bored, so she asked, "What book is Uncle Ying reading?" "It's just a conversation tone that has nothing to say.
Shang Cheng didn't expect that his words had been exposed, he was holding the book and reading it intently, when he heard Tian Xiu speak, he said casually: "Tianwen." "Flipped the frontispiece again." …… Oh, it's a transcript of the fifth year of Kenjong's reign. ”
Tian Xiu just wanted to find an excuse to speak, where to pay attention to whether Xianzong Xiande was five or six years old, so he said: "Is it Qu Zi's "Tianwen"? ”
Shang Cheng nodded. Tian Xiu has always been indifferent to him, and he doesn't like to take care of Mr. Qingshan, who he has been looking for for a long time.
"This is a fake ...... Qu Zi"
"It's not a fake." Shang Cheng shook his head. When he was studying, his research direction was ancient idealism and materialism, and Tianwen, as one of the representative works of ancient materialist thought, was naturally within the scope of his research. "Tianwen" is the pinnacle of Qu Yuan's ideological achievements, it is a poem in the form of poetry to show the poet's understanding of the natural world and his thinking about history, and also puts forward many simple arguments and judgments.
Tian Xiu also shook his head and said, "Uncle Ying may have seen Qu Zi's other words, right?" Looking at "Lisao", "Nine Songs", "Nine Chapters", "The Conjuring", "Buju" and so on, which one is not Hongbo Liya, should be Cifuzong? The unique "Tianwen" is peculiar and weird, the rhetoric is bland and the allusions are unfamiliar, six or seven out of ten, no one can understand the deep meaning between the words, can it be said that it is not a forgery? According to the Jin Dynasty Xie Ao's "Hanshu Collection", when Liu An, the king of the southern Han Dynasty, compiled the "Chu Ci", he removed the "Tianwen" four times, and it was not until Wang Yuzhang revised the "Chu Ci Chapters and Sentences" that it was officially entered. After that, after the years, the "Wang Yiji" that included Wang Yuzhang's life articles has many deaths, but the full text of "Chu Ci Chapters and Sentences" has been circulated, but Wang Harmonic in the Sui Dynasty, Wang Hui and Du Chang in the Tang Dynasty, they all talked about "Tianwen", saying that the "Chu Ci Chapters and Sentences" that were fortunately handed down during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, or see "Tianwen", or not see this article, which is quite hesitant. The root of this is that the "Tianwen" is incompatible with the rest of Qu Zi's poems. ”
Shang Cheng closed the scroll and listened patiently to her. He did not study history or literature, except for Liu An, the king of Huainan who wrote "Huainanzi", Wang Yi, who compiled "Chu Ci Chapters and Sentences", only had one impression, and he had never heard of any other Xie Ao, Wang Huan, and Wang Hui.
He can understand Tian Xiu's views on "Tianwen"; It is not surprising that she said that the poem was a forgery. In fact, when he first came into contact with Tianwen because of his research topic, he also felt that it did not look like Qu Yuan's work. The literary and artistic form of Chu Ci, as well as the Han Fu formed by the derivation and development of Chu Ci, pay attention to literary style and rhythm, which has the characteristics of poetry and prose at the same time, pursuing both gorgeous and delicate, and pursuing hearty and smooth; This characteristic was particularly distinct in the late period of the development of the Han Fu, and even developed into a genre with a certain pathology. Literary works have always been inspired by feelings, because when the author witnesses something, it arouses the resonance of the mind, and then gives it to the text; However, many of the late Han Fu prose works are upside down, in order to express their feelings, in order to express their feelings, a large number of gorgeous rhetoric are dragged together indiscriminately. These articles look either extravagant or majestic, and they are also catchy to read, but unfortunately they are all disease-free**, which can neither stand scrutiny nor be pondered repeatedly. After the Tang Dynasty, almost all of the prose that developed to the extreme were empty articles, and as a result, they pushed themselves to a dead end, and finally gradually replaced by the prose advocated by the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties headed by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan. However, the prose did not withdraw from the dual stage of literature and history, and its gaudy rhetoric and seemingly magnificent chapters were also very popular, and it struggled for twenty or thirty years until after the May Fourth of the 20th century......
He asked him with a smile and asked Tian Xiu with a smile: "It is said that the rhetoric of "Tianwen" is not magnificent enough, so the national style poems of Zheng Feng and Qi Feng in the Book of Poetry are gorgeous?" This is what is left over after Confucius deleted "Poems". The "Confucius Family" of the "Historical Records" said that there are more than 3,000 poems in total, and those that have been deleted do not know what they look like. "This is what he wrote down when he read "Historical Records" a few days ago, and this is when it comes in handy." Like the national style chapter in the "Book of Songs", the words and sentences of "Tianwen" are also simple and straightforward, which is not exactly the inheritance of the characteristics of the strong life atmosphere in the literary creation of the Spring and Autumn Period? In addition, Chu Ci's works are full of strong romanticism, for example, "Nine Songs" is full of myths and legends, and they are full of strange imagination and unrestrained feelings, not only borrowing a lot of myths and legends from the Central Plains, but also deeply influenced by the local witch culture, and the poem "Tianwen" is a great work produced under the collision of northern and southern cultures. ”
Just as Shang Cheng couldn't understand ancient words, Tian Xiu also couldn't grasp the precise meaning of "romanticism" and "cultural collision", but this did not affect her understanding of Shang Cheng's words. She didn't want to debate with Shang Cheng about the authenticity of "Confucius deleted the "Poem", but Shang Cheng asserted that "Tianwen" was Qu Yuan's article, and she felt unacceptable, so she retorted: "Since it is a pseudo-Tuo Qu Zi's name of swagger, maybe it is a person who is at the same time or a little later as Qu Zi, and it is naturally learned vividly by comparing it with the pre-Qin literary style." But there is always a mistake in Baimi, and its form and spirit have not reached the charm of "Poetry......"
Shang Cheng interrupted her and said, "Don't you put a big hat on someone as soon as you come, okay?" You say it's not good, it doesn't have verve, you can give an example to illustrate it. He flipped through the book casually, and changed the concept of the word "Shen Yun" from the beginning to the end. "I think it's a good poem. Although it doesn't rhyme, and it doesn't read well, we can't ask Qu Yuan's old master to speak the Central Plains dialect in the same Beijing accent as we do. Maybe in the era in which he lived, the people of Chu emphasized it like this? They themselves feel that it is enough to suppress the rhyme. Besides, people are feeling when they see things on the way to exile, and they are not specially written for us descendants, who cares if we read it smoothly or not? ”
Tian Xiu looked at him coldly, was silent for a moment, and then said: "You respect this forgery so much, I think you understand it......"
Shang Cheng turned his face and stared meaningfully at Tian Xiu with an unobscured eye. You can't argue with me, so you switch to the method of agitation?
Tian Xiu was not scared of him, and stared at him intently, without even the slightest hint of concession in his eyes.
Instead, Shang Cheng avoided his gaze first. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord Tian, I know you have an opinion about me. Yes, I admit it, it's my fault, I shouldn't have asked around for your news, and I mistook you for ......" he retracted his smile and said seriously and sincerely, "Although I didn't mean to make a mistake, I still want to sincerely apologize to you again." One by one, I can't stop it. Without waiting for Tian Xiu to speak, he said again, "But I still have to say that this "Tianwen", it is indeed not a fake!" This judgment is not that he is following the crowd, but his own judgment. In order to understand "Tianwen", he spent more than three months in the library, flipping through more than a dozen pages of excerpted materials to check various ancient books, and sometimes the materials in the library of the Normal University were incomplete, and he had to go to other university libraries and city libraries to borrow books, so that he finally understood the poem and thoroughly understood its meaning. He was sure that this was definitely Qu Yuan's work!
Tian Xiu immediately attacked the shield of the son with the spear of the son, and she said: "Please also give a detailed example to show that it is not a fake." ”
Shang Cheng was dumbfounded at that time. There are three or four hundred sentences in one "Heavenly Question", with a total of 1780 questions, and each question is a mythical story. Some of these stories belonged to the Yellow River cultural region at that time, and some were circulated in the Chuyue cultural region in the south, but Shiyi has shifted in time, and now it is more than a thousand years away from the end of the Warring States period where Qu Yuan lived, and the northern and southern cultures have long been almost integrated, how can he give examples to prove it?
Tian Xiu looked at him with an embarrassed look on his face, and finally couldn't hold back a smile, and said lightly: "Mr. Yu Que is good at the art of war, good at miscellaneous studies, and his attainments in calligraphy are even more commendable. ”
As soon as she heard her say the words "Mr. Youque", Shang Cheng suddenly became dumbfounded. But then came a burst of relief. He knew that he had lived in Beijing for such a long time, and many things could not be deceived. But it's not a big deal. He wasn't a deep person in the first place, and he had long felt that he had to hide it all day long, and he had to be restrained, and it was so tiring to be alive!
However, he still cautiously stretched out a finger, pointed up and then down, pointed at Tian Xiu and then at himself, and then looked at Tian Xiu. He knows calligraphy, so don't talk about it, otherwise you're going to be a shame! Throughout the ages, is there any calligraphy that everyone can even get wrong with the rhyme of a small order?
Tian Xiu is a person as smart as ice and snow, and when he saw his gesture, he immediately understood that this was saying "God knows what you know and I know". She didn't plan to go out and make a noise, so she nodded her head and said yes. In fact, she has long been very curious about Shang Cheng, but she has the guidance and admonition of Chang Xiu and Li Mu, and she is also from an official family and knows the truth on the way, so she didn't learn what Shang Cheng looked like when he first saw "Qingshan Manuscript", and ran in all directions to inquire about Shang Cheng's teacher and origin.
She nodded and agreed to help Shang Cheng hide it, but she also felt that this matter was very funny. Her father Tian Wang is a world-famous Confucian scholar, since she was a child, she has been bound by various principles and rules of Confucianism, and when she grows up, she is not surrounded by splendid figures like Chang Xiu and Li Mu, or she studies by herself, and then teaches students. To be honest, it's rare for her to have an easy time when she's grown so big. Now she has reached a tacit understanding with Shang Cheng silently, which makes her feel quite innocent in her childhood. She even learned from Shang Cheng's appearance, and quietly tapped her finger at Nanyang Yiyi, who was leaning down on the desk to read the sticker, Princess Nanyang should also know about it, right? She still remembers that Nanyang called Shang Cheng one by one.
Shang Cheng grinned and nodded slightly.
Tian Xiu smiled and pointed to the sky, then to the ground, to Shang Cheng, and then to himself, and finally nodded Nanyang, knowing the land one day, knowing that you know me, Nanyang knows, and other people let them be ignorant! She didn't refer to Chen Pu again, it seems that she knows Princess Changsha very well......
Looking at Chen Pu concentrating on stretching out his fingers to copy the words on the book, and the serious appearance of reciting words in his mouth, Tian Xiu felt that this matter was really fun!
