Sit under the pine eaves at night and sleep in the bamboo pavilion.

When you take medicine, you can return to the mountain.

Clever is not clumsy, busy should not be idle.

There is no way to cultivate, that is, this is the entrance.

Liuyi Spring is in the south of the lonely mountain, also known as the bamboo pavilion.

In the sixth year of Song Zhezong's Yuanyou, Su Dongpo and Master Huiqin once cried together to mourn Ouyang Xiu here.

Xu Yan accompanied Qian Dehong all the way, and was very emotional when he saw Su Shi's "61 Spring Ming".

"Climb the lonely mountain and look at Wu Yue, the joy of singing the mountain and drink this water, then the public legacy is strong, or see it in this spring."

Qian Dehong put his hands behind his back, and pointed to the bamboo in front of him and said, "Good boy, in the past, Mr. Yang Ming learned from the bamboo grid, so you didn't have any ideas?" ”

Xu Yan smiled bitterly: "Where can the student compare with Mr. Yang Ming." ”

"Mr. Yang Ming was in a very bad environment when he lived in Longchang. He often asked himself the question of what a saint would do if he were in his environment. ”

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "This is a bit difficult. Mencius, his old man, was an aristocrat, not to mention Confucius, his old man, traveled around the world and received countless disciples. No one seems to be as unlucky as Mr. Yang Ming. ”

"A saint just adapts to the environment."

Qian Dehong nodded without hesitation.

"It is precisely because Mr. Yang Ming realized this that he had the following mental learning."

Xu Yan felt that what Mr. Qian said was very reasonable, and he finally had the opportunity to discuss psychology, so he naturally refused to let it go.

"Dare to ask my mentor Mr. Yangming what he thinks of Zhu and Lu's teachings?"

"Zhu Zi obtained the principles of heaven through the scriptures, and then practiced them. Lu Jiuyuan obtained heavenly principles through meditation, and then practiced them. Both of them believe that there is a sequence of knowledge and action. Mr. Yang Ming, on the other hand, believes that knowledge and action are one. That's the big difference. ”

Qian Dehong explained in harmony.

"Doesn't Mr. Yang Ming also advocate meditation?"

Xu Yan asked.

"That's different. Lu Jiuyuan advocated meditation in the hope of obtaining the truth from his heart. Mr. Yang Ming advocated meditation because the people of the world were impetuous. He just wants people to calm down this way. Therefore, Mr. Yang Ming and Lu Jiuyuan's hearts are completely different. ”

After a pause, Qian Dehong continued: "Lu Jiuyuan advocates self-cultivation, and Zhu Zi focuses on learning. It was in vain to argue for Zhu and Lu. Mr. Yang Ming neither denied Zhu Zizhi's theory, nor was he hostile to Mr. Lu Xiangshan's psychology. Mr. Yang Ming believes that the similarities and differences between Zhu and Lu should be treated fairly. ”

Xu Yan realized.

"So, what's the fastest way to learn Yang Ming Xinxue?"

"First, aspire."

Qian Dehong talked eloquently.

"A student who doesn't want to be a saint is not a good student. If you want to learn thoroughly, you must make up your mind to be a sage. ”

"Second, study diligently. Didn't the teacher tell you, there is a road and a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea. Diligent study is the only way to improve character. ”

"Third, make amends. Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. ”

"Fourth, responsibility. Friends should always use reproach to persuade each other. ”

Xu Yan nodded.

"The student understood."

"Good boy, you are still far from enlightenment."

Qian Dehong said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, you are still young, and you have time." ”

...

...

Returning to Gushan Academy, Xu Yan began to study hard again.

But it didn't take long for Mr. Qian, who was unwilling to be lonely, to come over and give Xu Yan a question.

The title he came up with was very simple, with only four words: the afterlife is terrifying.

Just looking at the title seems to praise the afterlife. This is not the case.

The title is from "The Analects of Zihan": The future is terrifying, and I don't know if the future is not now. Forty or fifty and unheard, Si is not afraid.

The literal meaning of this topic is so simple that Xu Yan wonders why Mr. Qian has such a question.

It can't be a knock on him, right?

Seeing Xu Yan's suspicious expression, Qian Dehong explained: "Young people are enough to accumulate learning and become virtuous, which is terrifying, so Confucius has a successful future. Anzhi will not be as good as me today if he has both ability and political integrity in the future. Forty-fifty and obscure. Therefore, Confucius was not a warning, from the young to the fearful, to the old and not afraid, sad. ”

Really!

Xu Yan knew that Mr. Qian was going to start preaching.

What a headache!

Isn't this persuasion argument already said once in Liuyi Spring, why did it change again?

But Xu Yan couldn't refuse to listen.

After all, Mr. Qian is his mentor.

Since you can't refuse, you can only enjoy it.

Xu Yan had the heart to take this opportunity to discuss with Mr. Qian to solve the problem, so he asked: "Dare to ask the teacher, how to solve this kind of problem?" ”

Qian Dehong saw Xu Yan's humble desire to ask for advice, and he was interested for a while.

"A gentleman cherishes an inch of yin, persists for several years, decades, and will achieve success if he really accumulates strength for a long time."

Qian Dehong paused, and then continued: "The saint is in the young, and he is in the future, and he is not in the police. ”

Xu Yan tasted a product and exclaimed: "This is absolutely unsolvable." ”

This is not Xu Yan's boasting, it is really Qian Dehong's ingenuity.

Ordinary people see that this topic is broken from one point, and few people can throw out arguments as dialectically as Mr. Qian.

For the young, success and non-success are only a thought.

As for the exactly, it depends on the analysis below.

Unconsciously, Mr. Qian made a trick and hooked you to read down.

"Come again. Today I will only talk about solving the problem. ”

Mr. Qian seemed to be aroused, and continued to ask: "The ambition of a gentleman is not reached." ”

Xu Yanxin said that this topic is not biased.

Title out "Mencius": Flowing water is a thing, and it is not possible to do it without Yingke; The ambition of a gentleman is also in the way, and it is not up to the rules.

"Good boy, try to solve it."

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "The learning of a gentleman lies in the Tao, and if it does not accumulate and cannot change, it will not become a pattern." The way of the saint is big and fundamental, and those who learn it will gradually make progress in order to reach it. ”

Qian Dehong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your analysis is good." The teacher will teach you how to solve the problem skillfully in this situation. ”

After a pause, Qian Dehong said loudly: "On the creation of a gentleman, there is an order. After stamping the seal, the order of learning is also. Those who are committed to the Tao can not do this. ”

Xu Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard it.

The so-called Dao cultivation refers to the improvement of moral cultivation.

Wang Shouren once said in his biography: The ancient book of "University" is said to be a good thing and a word, and it is also said that the poor reason is like the poverty of its nest, and it is also said to be poor by body.

However, Mr. Qian broke the problem and did not follow the pattern, found a unique way, and chose to start from the perspective of "order".

This avoids dwelling on the interpretation of the gentleman's ambitions.

When more than half of the 100 people have solved the questions like this, the examiner who marked the paper must have vomited a long time ago.

At this time, when you see an article with a novel angle, the marking officer must be moved to tears, right?

It's not impossible to check it right away.

After all, there are so many articles, if you read them all, you will be tired and vomit blood.

A good start is half the battle, and this is a major skill for the imperial examination.
