Chapter 47 The Confucian Temple Riddle
Pei Min has been listening to the command of Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, and he tirelessly lingered around the stalls on the left and right, coaxing the two little guys so that they couldn't close their mouths.
I couldn't help but be stunned when this wrong style of painting suddenly appeared, but seeing Li Zhiying's look of expectation and excitement, he also became a pioneer.
No doubt!
In addition to Xiaoqi Xiaoba, the happiest is Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying.
Everyone else has seen this scene more or less, even if they are not in Chang'an, but in other places, but on a different scale.
But Li Zhiying is different, although she has been living in Chang'an, it is the first time she has really participated in such a party, just like a child, overjoyed and happy.
In order not to reveal her identity, she specially changed her name to "Brother Min", commanding him to rush left and right, and she was never tired of it, and she was virtuous with Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba.
It took them an hour to finish a long street.
Little Seven and Little Eight are full of all kinds of gadgets, and their little stomachs are round.
Li Zhiying has a delicate volunteer laborer, still jumping and jumping, and she is very happy.
The group walked into the Temple of Confucius and paid homage to the Holy Master Confucius.
For Confucius, later generations praised and deprecated him. Some even blamed him for his mistakes.
In fact, most of those who belittle Confucius have a common problem, on the one hand, they regard Confucius as a saint and measure him by the benchmark of a saint, and on the other hand, they infinitely magnify his faults, so as to achieve the effect of slander.
But I don't know that great people like Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Shimin are all human beings, and everyone makes mistakes.
Compared with Confucius's outstanding contributions to Chinese culture in his lifetime, some unconventional people in later generations prefer to study his shortcomings. People who do not know the truth are often convinced by these unconventional statements, and thus follow the crowd.
Pei Min was born in the liberal arts, so he naturally knew how much Confucius had contributed to the inheritance of Chinese culture.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a saying called learning from the nobles. Only the children of the nobility had the right to learn knowledge, and ordinary people were born to work and were not qualified to learn culture.
The aristocracy also looked down on the common people by nature and did not associate with Bai Ding.
It was Confucius, the first to put forward the saying that there is no class in teaching!
He broke that constraint. There is no distinction between nobles and commoners, no borders and Huayi, as long as there is a desire to learn, everything is taught and classless.
Therefore, there were 3,000 disciples of Confucius, including Lu, Qi, Jin, Song, Chen, Cai, Qin, Chu and other different countries, which not only broke the national boundaries at that time, but also broke the distinction between Yixia and Xia at that time.
The idea of education without class has cross-era significance in the history of education development, and it is precisely because of Confucius's education without class that remarkable results have been achieved. Other schools of thought also rushed to follow Confucius's practice, and the vigorous cultural innovation of a hundred schools of thought was born.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the most brilliant and star-studded era of Chinese thought and culture.
During this period, there was an unprecedented academic situation in which hundreds of schools of thought criticized each other and contended with each other, which occupied an important position in the history of the development of Chinese culture and thought.
And it is Confucius who promotes the situation of a hundred schools of thought, and only after Confucius can there be a hundred schools of thought.
Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it does not deny that "there is education without class" is a historical inevitability.
Even without Confucius, history would have followed this path as the times progressed, but that could have been a hundred years later.
There is no doubt that this thought of Confucius has directly promoted the development of the entire Chinese culture and presented a grand occasion of cultural contention.
Not to mention his Confucianism, for this alone, Confucius's exploits deserve the respect of any Chinese descendant.
The holy teacher, four words, Confucius deserves it.
For such a person, Pei Min was very respectful, and respectfully led the little seven and eight to worship.
Suddenly, in front of the Confucian Temple, there was a noise of gongs and drums.
On the high platform, an old Confucian with white hair but full of anger shouted: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the Shangyuan Festival is naturally indispensable to guess lantern riddles." This year, all countries came to congratulate, and Chang'an gathered literati and writers from all over the world, heroes and foreign friends. On this day of national celebration, the temple also conforms to the festivities, and has prepared a number of lantern riddles for others to guess and play, and has prepared a few small gifts, thinking that it is a colorful head! The winner will get last year's new champion Wang Wei, Wang Majie's calligraphy and painting. ”
Pei Min listened from afar, and couldn't help but be a little moved.
Another famous figure.
"Master, let's go and have a look?" Li Bai looked at the high platform in the distance.
Pei Min's Wang Changling, Wang Zhilian and Wang Wei are known as the three kings and have a close relationship with each other.
And Li Bai was good friends with Wang Changling and Wang Zhilian in Shanzhou, and often heard about Wang Wei's deeds from the two of them.
Wang Changling and Wang Zhilian's talents are all first-class in the world, but they are highly respected in the face of Wang Wei, who is much younger than them, and even ashamed of themselves.
Li Bai has long had the heart to meet with him.
Pei Min has not only heard of Wang Wei's name in history, but also in reality: Wang Wei is a native of Puzhou, Hedong, born in the Wang family of Hedong, is a well-known supernatural power in Chang'an, and his talent has been shown early, and when he was fifteen years old, he has become the darling of the princes and nobles of the capital, and he is famous in Chang'an. When Pei Min was still serving in Chang'an Yushitai, he had already heard of Wang Wei's name, but he didn't have a chance to see him.
Wang Zhihuan once invited Wang Wei to come to Longyou to serve, but for some reason Wang Wei did not agree, but chose to take the imperial examination in Chang'an, and successfully won the title of champion, becoming a Qiliner in the limelight in Chang'an.
Pei Min has not yet answered.
Little Seven and Little Eight have also made a fuss!
"Look at the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, guess the lantern riddles first, then look at the lanterns!"
"Good! Let's take a look! "For Xiaoqi Xiaoba, Pei Min has nothing to ask for.
Pei Min, Li Bai, and Wang Zhongsi opened the way as always, gently pushed away the crowd, and squeezed to the front.
The temple above gave the first mystery!
As the confetti of the ceremonial flowers flies, banners like couplets fall from above.
I saw the banner read: "Half swallow and half spit out, type!" ”
Lu!
Pei Min flashed this word in his mind, guessing riddles is a kind of entertainment that appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was called "hidden language" at that time, and it began to be called "riddle" in the Han and Wei dynasties. It can enlighten thinking, cultivate sentiment, and increase knowledge, and has always been deeply loved by the general public.
The riddle is generally composed of three parts, namely the riddle, the riddle, and the riddle.
The riddle is the question given by the examiner, the riddle is the range of guessing, and the riddle is naturally the answer.
Half swallowing and half spitting is the riddle, typing a word is the riddle, and the riddle is naturally the word "Lu".
Perhaps the first puzzle, the answer is particularly simple.
Pei Min thought of the answer in an instant.
But before he could speak, someone had already replied: "It's the word 'Lu'!" ”
Miao Zhu smiled: "Congratulations to this son for winning the first place!" Please accept the fuse, and after the riddle is over, you will receive the corresponding gift according to the number of fuses. ”
Pei Min looked over, but it was a young man with a short figure, he took the fuse from the hand of the attendant arrogantly, and said to the companion who was about the same size as him beside him.
What to say, Pei Min didn't understand, but the tone was undoubtedly Japanese.
