Chapter 270: Luoyang Cheng Yi (Fourth Update)
After reading a large stack of lyrics, Gan Qi returned to his seat and raised his glass to take a sip with Zhao Zonghan, but he was actually a little tired.
Gan Qi didn't notice the eyes around him, but Zhao Xiaomei did, and said to Gan Qi: "Mr. Gan has just read so many words, why don't you pick out a few good works?" β
Gan Qi replied casually: "It's all so poorly written, I really can't see it, but if there is one that is too eye-catching, I will pick it out." It's a pity that Zizhan is not here, if Zizhan is here, just fill in a song, and it will be better than everyone in the audience. Zizhan's words, that's what they call words. β
Zhao Zonghan heard Gan Qi talk about Su Shi, so he continued: "I don't know when Zi Zhanzi will be able to return to Bianliang, and I miss it tightly." β
"Next year, next year." Gan Qi also remembered Su Shi and Su Zhe's brothers, and said goodbye in a hurry, as soon as the brothers left, in this capital, Gan Qi seemed to have a lot less fun.
Zhao Xiaomei said again: "Mr. Gan, look around." β
Gan Qi looked around left and right, looked at those eyes, and understood, shook his head, and said: "Next time I do such a thing to judge the high and low, I can't do this, today is considered to be insightful." β
Today is really insightful, in the past, Gan Qi only knew the upper limit of poetry, what good poetry is, today is considered to be learning, and I really understand, the standard of good and bad, should be lowered. You can't use those ancient masterpieces as a standard to judge ordinary people.
It's just that Gan Qi knew a little late, and now he has come back to his senses, and if he had come back to his senses just now, he wouldn't have offended so many people.
Hu Ying in front of his head, he was selected by thousands of people, but only five or six songs were selected, which was also Gan Qi's standard that affected Hu Ying just now. If it was in the past, I would always pick out a dozen or twenty songs.
Where is five or six pieces of background music enough to sing? After a few drinks, the music has to stop.
The song is singing, and Hu Ying will also evaluate one or two after each song is sung, where and where it is well written, how good it is, and then praise the lyricist a few times.
was praised by Hu Ming, what a glory is that?
One or twenty people should have been boasted, but now only five or six have been boasted.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Gan Qi again, so a large stack of lyrics were rejected by Gan Qi, who knows if he wrote such a good lyrics, was he vetoed by Gan Qi?
The vast majority of literati will feel that they write well, at least enough to stand out in front of Hu Ying.
Someone finally couldn't help but speak: "Everyone, since this question is written by Gan Daojian, should Gan Daojian also fill in a song?" β
The person who spoke, Luoyang Cheng Yi, he has an elder brother named Cheng Hao, and Cheng Hao is a new science and technology jinshi. The brothers are from Luoyang, and they also took the exam together, and the two brothers also studied in Taixue, but they don't go now. One is in high school, and the other is in the first place. Cheng Hao has already gone to Juxian County to take up the post of chief bookkeeper, and only Cheng Yi is still waiting for the next exam in Bianliang.
Hu Ying naturally recognized this Cheng Yi, who had studied in Taixue, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, you haven't been studying in Taixue recently, but you don't know how powerful Jian is, don't underestimate Dao Jian." β
The Cheng brothers are also Hu Ming's protΓ©gΓ©s, not only the protΓ©gΓ©s, but also the founders of science, the source of their doctrine came from Hu Ming, and later the two brothers added their own opinions and slowly perfected the entire doctrine. Fundamentally, in terms of its impact on society, science is the further conservatism of feudal moral principles and feudal hierarchies.
There is not much problem in the doctrine of science, but when it is popularized, the impact on society as a whole is too great. In ancient China, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the social atmosphere was relatively open, and even in the Northern Song Dynasty, the social atmosphere actually had many similarities with the modern open society. However, after arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing dynasties, it became more and more feudal and conservative, and even indirectly affected many national policies, such as closing the country to the outside world. In this regard, science has a great deal of responsibility.
The word "closed country" did not exist before the Song Dynasty, such as the Han and Tang Dynasties, their own power could reach thousands of miles away in the Western Regions, and they had a lot of exchanges with foreigners and influenced each other. Even in the Song Dynasty, there was no curfew, there were many exchanges with foreign countries, and even the Maritime Silk Road reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, and even later generations could dig out many sunken cargo ships of the Song Dynasty at sea.
The Cheng brothers, together with Sima Guang and others, are also the most staunch conservatives in this era, and the vanguard of opposing Wang Anshi's reform are also in this group of people. The Cheng brothers, who were supposed to be the great Confucians of the Northern Song Dynasty after Hu Ming, would have set up shrines for the two brothers in several dynasties after their deaths, and received incense from their descendants together with Confucius.
Hu Ming's words obviously knew that Cheng Yi seemed to be unhappy, so he was reconciling his words, and he didn't want to see any overt and secret conflicts between Cheng Yi and Gan Qi. Even in Hu Ming's heart, he still felt that Gan Qi and Cheng Yi were all the way, and they were both people who had insights into Confucianism, and if the two sat together and communicated, they would definitely become friends.
But the young Cheng Yi didn't seem to understand what Hu Ying meant, and replied: "Mr. Hu, the students just think that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gan Daojian organized this poetry meeting, how can they not fill in a song?" β
But there are still people who speak out in support of Cheng Yi: "Mr. Hu, Uncle Zheng is right, how can the poetry club held by Gan Daojian not have Gan Daojian's masterpiece?" β
"Yes, please Gan Daojian write a song for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Hu Ying saw that everyone opened his mouth and said, his face sank, he had lived for dozens of years, how could he not understand these things? Looking back, Hu Ying also knew that he probably pushed Gan Qi to the forefront, turned his head to look at Gan Qi, and also felt a little self-blame.
Dr. Gong was on the side and said, "Sir, don't worry, Gan Daojian is not a cowardly person. β
"It's all to blame for the old man's inconsiderate thinking, alas, ......," Hu Ying sighed softly.
What should come is still coming, Gan Qi knew that he had offended someone, and he couldn't hide, so he got up and gave up his hands with everyone, and said: "Thank you for not giving up, appreciate your face, and fill in a song below, you are at ease." β
Everyone looked at Ganqi and waited for Ganqi to come out.
Gan Zheng, who was sitting by the window at the end, had a slight smile on his face at this time, and muttered: "There will always be a day when the indiscriminate will be blown out." β
Beside Gan Zheng, sitting was Liu Ji, the former chief of Taixue, who heard Gan Zheng's words and asked, "Duan Nian, are you really so sure that he is indiscriminate?" β
Gan Zheng nodded firmly: "Brother Boshou just doesn't want to believe me." β
"It's not that I don't believe it, but Gan Daojian's performance in Taixue, it's really not like what Duan Nian said, every time he has a big argument, although I don't like this person either, but I have to say that he still has some talent. Otherwise, Mr. Hu would not have valued him so much. Liu Ji replied.
Gan Zheng still shook his head: "Brother Boshou, just wait and see, Gan Qi's father is just an ordinary man, he has never raised any big names, no matter how talented he is, he can't leave many masterpieces." Moreover, poetry and articles, with different topics and themes, where can there be so many suitable for the occasion? You see that he has been famous for more than a year, and the real masterpiece is just those few articles, and today he has offended many people, and he is forced to fill in the words again, and look at it. β
Sometimes, once a person falls into a thing that he can't accept, it's really difficult to climb out. It's useless for anyone to say, Liu Ji said that Gan Qi often has big arguments in Taixue, Gan Zheng still doesn't want to believe it, maybe even if Gan Zheng sees Gan Qi in Taixue with his own eyes, he may not want to believe it. This kind of thing can probably be described as "self-deception".
Who is Ganch? Is it Gan Zheng who watched him grow up, and even when he was young, the two were classmates, Gan Qi studied? That's a joke, it's a joke that Gan Zheng has watched for more than ten years, this is called Gan Zheng, who watched Gan Qi grow up, how can he believe that Gan Qi is a great talent?
Liu Ji shook his head, looked at Gan Zheng, who was already a jinshi, and looked up at Gan Qi, who was going to get a pen. He was a little puzzled.
It is also necessary to say that Liu Ji's attitude towards Gan Zheng has also changed, in the past, the two intersected, and Gan Zheng treated Liu Ji with a humble attitude, but now Gan Zheng is a jinshi, and Liu Ji has fallen behind. Liu Ji now has some humble attitude towards Gan Zheng. This is how it is.
