Chapter Seventy-Seven: Enlightenment in the Lonely Mountain

I have to say that reading in retreat is really enlightening.

After Xu Yan looked through Lei Li's anthology, he found that this Lei Great Grandmaster was really a true believer in Wang Yangming's Xinxue.

In fact, the time when the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were mainly concentrated in the period before the Zhengde Dynasty.

After Jiajing, Yangming Xinxue rose, and its status in the imperial examination gradually surpassed that of Cheng Zhu Lixue.

From Wanli to the end of the Ming Dynasty, this is even more so.

Xu Jie admired Yangming Xinxue very much and lectured at Beijing Normal University. Later, Li Chunfang was even more so, and even wrote a Cheng essay when he was the chief examiner of the examination in the second year of Longqing.

This article uses Wang Xue to interpret the scriptures, and the words of "Zhuangzi" are included in the text, which has attracted a trend.

Just like Tang Shunzhi, the leader of the Tang and Song factions and one of the three masters of Jiajing, put forward the "theory of true colors", advocating that "those who do not wash the source of the heart, independent objects, and have only one eye for the present and the ancient" cannot create a masterpiece, and advocate that the composition "is straightforward and indelible, and it is written by hand, although it may be omitted, but there is no smoke and sour stuffing habit, it is the first excellent text in the universe".

These views are essentially consistent with Yang Ming Mind.

In the Wanli period, represented by Li Zhen and Yuan Hongdao, who were the leftists of Wang Xue, advocated that the article should seek the heart, seek curiosity, seek differences, and seek interest, and integrate the ideas of Zen Buddhism and Lao Zhuang into the imperial examination, which was a great innovation.

Yuan Hongdao even proposed: "The use of the profession is to care about the success, from time to time it is not timely, not poor and new and extremely changeable from time to time, so although there are three orders and five governors, and the trend of the text is unstoppable, the time is also for it."

In general, Lei Li's views on the imperial examination articles are not as radical as those of Wang Xue's leftists Li Zhen and Yuan Hongdao, but they generally belong to the same type as Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, and Tang Shunzhi, that is, the moderate Wang Xue.

There are many types of Wang Xue, and there are great differences between different factions.

But everything changes and does not deviate from its roots, and the root is still Wang Yangming's Wang Xue in Zhejiang.

The representatives of Wang Xue in central Zhejiang are Qian Dehong and Wang Ji.

Wang Longxi belongs to the bold and casual school, highlighting the word 'Xuan'.

Qian Xushan belongs to the mellow conservative faction, highlighting the word 'real'.

In Xu Yan's view, whether it is Tang Shunzhi, Li Chunfang, Xu Jie, or Lei Li, it should be Qian Xushan's Wang School that is admired.

It's like stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it.

Very, good, very good!

Xu Yan had strong restraint so that he didn't laugh out of the pig's cry.

If there is anyone among Wang Xue's protΓ©gΓ©s who values 'unification' more than Qian Dehong, Xu Yan really can't think of it.

With the guidance of such a good teacher, Xu Yan's article can bring the style of the 'unified' school of Wang Xue in Zhejiang to the extreme.

What type of articles Lei Li prefers, Xu Yan specializes in what type of articles he writes about. If he likes it, he doesn't believe that Lei Li doesn't like it!

Of course, Mr. Qian did not guide in vain, and a few jars of Ningbo soju seem to be indispensable.

However, compared with successfully passing the hospital examination and getting the fame of Xiucai, what is the difference between a few jars of soju?

"Good boy, what are you smiling at? Isn't it stupid to write an article? ”

Qian Dehong appeared behind Xu Yan at some point, which really startled him.

Xu Yan tried his best to calm his mood down, and his heart really said that someone handed him a pillow whenever he wanted to sleep.

"Teacher, students have something to ask for."

Knowing the apprentice Mo Ruoshi, Xu Yan knew what he was thinking when he opened his mouth.

I saw Mr. Qian pouting and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, when did the teacher treat you badly?" ”

Xu Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand and said, "I also ask my teacher to teach me how to integrate the style of Yangming Xinxue into the imperial examination articles." ”

Qian Dehong stroked his chin and short beard, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, it's not bad, I realized it after just a day's work." As a teacher, he really didn't see the wrong person. ”

Xu Yan hurriedly sent a sycophant: "If you can't understand this thing, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for your old man." ”

"Well, since you are so sincere, I will personally give you some guidance as a teacher. If it is said that Wang Xue's successor is the second teacher, no one dares to call it the first. ”

Qian Dehong said confidently.

Xu Yanxin said that there is nothing wrong with this, Qian Dehong is among Wang Yangming's many disciples, and it is no problem to rank tied for the first place.

A rich old gentleman opened a small stove, and the improvement of the level of the article was rubbing.

"Just take an article and read it."

Xu Yan hurriedly handed over the article he had just made respectfully.

With just one glance, Qian Dehong found the problem.

"There is nothing wrong with your idea, but it is written too deliberately, and it is obvious that Cheng Zhu has read too much of the article. This kind of article is too rigid and rigid, and the county and prefectural exams can still be regarded as good works, but the higher you go, the more difficult it is to get ahead. ”

Xu Yanxin said in his heart that he deserved to be everyone, and he hit the nail on the head when he saw the problem.

In fact, Qian Dehong belongs to the conservative faction in Wang Xuezhong, and even he thinks that the article is too neutral, which is really too rigid.

"You can be more daring."

Tsien continued: "Don't be afraid to digress. At least that's the case during the college exam. ”

The chief examiner of the college examination is undoubtedly Lei Li, and Qian Dehong knows Lei Li's temperament and article preferences well.

In this case, bold problem solving is naturally the most profitable.

"But you can't be too casual, you have to take it back."

Qian Dehong said leisurely: "Writing an article is like cooking, and it is very important to master the heat." If you want to learn the style of writing as a teacher, you can't do it without practicing dozens or hundreds of articles. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yanzhi had a black line on his face.

Dozens of hundreds of articles?

That's more than he thought.

He originally thought that he could find the true biography by relying on Mr. Qian's guidance and practicing three or five articles, but now it seems that he is too naΓ―ve.

But for the sake of the hospital test, he decided to fight!

Isn't it just a sea tactic, and he hasn't experienced it.

What's more, this time it's more targeted, but it's just a style of practice.

"You've also read the teacher's article, and the style should be obvious. The next step is to practice. That's good, the topic is good for the teacher, you practice three articles a day, so you should be able to practice it in a month. ”

Where did Xu Yan dare to refuse, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Qian Dehong squinted his eyes and groaned:

Zhizhang rode a horse like a boat, and slept under the well.

Ruyang three buckets began to face the sky, and the road was salivating at the mouth of the koji car.

Zuo Xiangri spends 10,000 dollars, drinks like a long whale sucking hundreds of rivers, and holds a cup of music and is called a sage.

Zongzhi is a chic and beautiful young man, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind.

Before Su Jin Changzhai embroidered Buddha, he often loved to escape Zen when he was drunk.

Li Bai wrote 100 poems, and slept in a restaurant in Chang'an City.

The Son of Heaven couldn't get on the boat, and claimed that his ministers were immortals in wine.

Zhang Xu had three cups of grass sage, took off his hat and exposed his crown in front of the prince, waving the paper like a cloud of smoke.

Jiao Sui Wudou Fang Zhuoran, talking about the four feasts.

"Good apprentice, don't you pour wine for the teacher?"
