Chapter 51: The Classmates of the Frank Hall
"Haha, Wen Xuan, haven't you seen Tang Er's face, his face is so angry that it turns into a pig's liver color, it's happy, it's really relieving!" Xu Feng laughed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm afraid this time it will make Tang Er depressed for a while, Wen Xuan's idea, hehe, it's really bad!" Cui Ye also smiled.
"Haha, carving insect skills, I can't be praised by the two brothers!" Although Zhong Hao is humble, he is a little complacent in his heart.
Zhong Hao gave the two packets of medicine to Yipin|Lou's welcoming guest Xiao Er and went home, Xu Feng and Cui Ye saw the excitement in the Yipin|Lou Tianzi Hall, so they rushed to Zhong Hao to tell him about the embarrassment they saw Tang Er.
Xu Feng said to Zhong Hao: "Tang Er's method of dealing with you is simple and rude, and your method of revenge against him is vicious and vicious, haha, but it is a report and a report!" ”
Zhong Hao said in a deep voice: "There is a way to be good, and retribution is not happy." He almost killed me in the army, and I only lost his reputation, which is not enough. Anyway, you have to put him in prison for a few days before you can take revenge on him! ”
Xu Feng's eyes lit up and said, "Hey, Wenxuan still has a good idea?" Let's hear it."
When Cui Ye heard this, his eyes lit up and he listened.
"My idea is...... I haven't come up with an idea yet! ”
"Okay, you Wenxuan, it turned out that you were entertaining us, you should fight!"
The three of them laughed, Zhong Hao remembered something, and said: "The two brothers are both great talents, and the younger brother still needs to ask for advice on this work!" "When Zhong Hao entered Songlin Academy, it was the beginning of September, and Zhong Hao suddenly remembered that tomorrow would be the sixth day of the first month, and Deacon Yuan gave him the homework for this decade, but he hadn't done it yet!
Zhong Hao can barely do this rhythmic poem. This kind of poetry is limited to topics, rhymes, and rhythms, and there is no need to write any ideological or artistic qualities, but it is a strict rhyme. Of course, because there are strict restrictions, it is impossible to write too high artistic conception.
If Zhong Hao really wants to write those poems with high ideological and artistic content, he will never be able to do it with his own talent. But if it's just a pile of rhetoric to make it rhyme, Zhong Hao can do it. In fact, there have been so many imperial examinations in the Two Song Dynasty, I am afraid that there must be tens of thousands of test-taking poems, but there are almost no test-taking poems handed down in later generations, which can also be seen how empty and empty this test-taking poem is.
On peace and policy, it is basically an argumentative essay of ancient sayings, Zhong Hao has read some collections of current essays, and feels that this discussion and strategy can be reluctantly made by himself. But this discipline, Zhong Hao really can't do it. Cui Ye and Xu Feng were here today, so they took the opportunity to ask them about the practice of this discipline.
When Xu Feng heard Zhong Hao's words, he couldn't help but look surprised: "When my father was admitted to Wenxuan, he appreciated Wenxuan's sentence 'If you know high and strong, your text has its own sound of gold and stone'!" Wen Xuan actually wanted to ask me for advice on this method of Discipline, wasn't he entertaining Senior Brother again? ”
Cui Ye also smiled: "Wenxuan's literary brilliance is flying, and he is also extremely proficient in this rhythm, rhyme, and battle. In Cui Ye's opinion, to be able to write "Liweng Rhyme" and "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" must be extremely familiar with rhyme.
Zhong Hao said abruptly: "I didn't have a teacher before, but I just learned some enlightened knowledge from my ancestors, and I really don't know the requirements and format of this endowment!" Two brothers, let's do literacy for the younger brother! ”
Only then did Xu Feng and Cui Ye know that Zhong Hao had not seriously worshipped his teacher except for his grandfather to enlighten him, so it was understandable that he would not be able to do it. Thinking of the amazing and gorgeous lyrics that Zhong Hao made, he was able to make them without learning poetry under the guidance of a famous teacher, and he felt that he was extremely talented.
At that moment, Xu Feng and Cui Ye instructed Zhong Hao, and Zhong Hao was humbly taught.
In the end, Xu Feng said: "Although my father respects ancient literature, but now that the imperial court is a scholar, the intention of 'poetry must be Xikun, and literature must be too learned' is still very clear, at least for a period of time, it is still quite advantageous to use 'Xikun style' and 'Taixue style' to take the exam!" When Wenxuan has free time, he should also study the 'Xikun Style' and 'Taixue Style'. Xu Feng has participated in the provincial examination of Jinke, although he failed to win, but he still has a lot of say in this regard.
At that moment, Zhong Hao only agreed. However, Zhong Hao didn't want to go over to participate in the imperial examination, he just wanted to be able to fool this course and stay in Songlin Academy.
Zhong Hao had homework to do, Xu Feng and Cui Ye didn't stay long, and after chatting with Zhong Hao for a few more words, they said goodbye and left, and made an appointment to meet again another day!
The ten scriptures of the Analects and the ten ink meanings of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Book of Rites, Zhong Hao naturally copied them directly by rummaging through the scriptures and commentaries. As for the poetry and strategy, it took an afternoon of brain cells, Zhong Hao also figured it out, although the writing was mediocre, but Zhong Hao was quite satisfied, the format and rhythm were right, and he didn't force too much at this level.
……
In the Songlin Academy, in a small pavilion surrounded by clear water, Xu Shanchang, who has a broad crown and a long beard, is teaching.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The so-called way of heaven and earth is actually the way that everyone can get, but all things in the world, the way of the Tao, are not the way of eternity. Everything has life, and naturally there is death. In fact, this principle of impermanence in the world is the way of all things in heaven and earth. Therefore, the so-called Confucianism is not constant, everything in the world is changing, and the theorems of the past may not all work in the present, so everyone must learn to think, have their own opinions, and live and learn according to the current situation......."
This small pavilion is called the Hefeng Pavilion, at this time, the students of the Songlin Academy are all on the futon in the pavilion, surrounding Xu Shanchang to listen to the lecture, Zhong Hao also knelt on a futon at this time, listening to Xu Shanchang's lecture.
Although the hall also has its own lecture hall, as long as the weather permits, Xu Shanchang prefers to sit and teach with all the disciples in this lotus pavilion. In this way, the communication is also more cordial and convenient.
After Xu Shanchang finished speaking, he asked a disciple sitting beside him: "Ziming, what do you feel about the lesson taught by the teacher today?" "This disciple is Liu Xu, the word is clear, and he is a disciple that Xu Shanchang values a lot.
Liu Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Today's teachings of Master Xu are thought-provoking. In the past, Zhao Xianggong once said that he ruled the world with half of the Analects, and his disciples never understood its meaning before, and even thought that half of the Analects could govern the world was pure nonsense. Isn't that if you have read the Four Books and the Five Classics, you will be able to dominate the world. Today, after listening to Master Zhang's teachings, I suddenly realized that Zhao Xianggong's half of the treatise on ruling the world is not a lie. Zhao Xianggong reads the general Analects, declars the meaning and introduces, obtains its essence, and learns and applies it lively, so that he can govern the world. Reading is not reading, but thinking, understanding, and using. This is true of Confucianism, and it is true of all other schools. The so-called believing in books is better than not having books, only reading but not doing, it must not work, and reading needs to be appreciated in the practice of life. The disciple was stupid, so he could only think of so much for a while, and begged Master Xu for advice. ”
Xu Shanchang's lecture is not a blunt explanation, but aims to rely on the disciples to think and comprehend on their own. When Xu Shan saw Liu Xu for a moment, he could comprehend so much, and he couldn't help but smile.
What Xu Shanchang is talking about today is part of the opening chapter of the Tao Te Ching, and he mainly wants to explain the principles of Confucianism from Taoist culture. In the Great Song Dynasty, the tide of the integration of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism was flourishing, and the three religions were theoretically integrated, and the three schools were moving closer to each other, infiltrating each other, and melting each other. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Mr. Xiyi Chen Tuan entered Taoism from Confucianism and was proficient in Buddhism, and his "Wuji Tu" and Neidan Theory are the products of the integration of the three religions and cultures. At this time, Confucianism also absorbed the culture of Buddhism and Taoism, and gradually began to form a system of science based on Confucianism and melting and Taoism. Zhou Dunyi, the founder of science, wrote the Taiji Diagram, which comes from the Taoist tradition and uses Yili and Taoist terminology to explain the theory of the creation of the universe. Of course, at this time, it will take a few more years for Zhou Dunyi to create a science system. But at this time, the exchange of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism is indeed the general trend.
Xu Shanchang asked a few more disciples, and their answers were quite satisfactory to Xu Shanchang.
When Xu Shanchang asked a question, Zhong Hao secretly hid behind a tall scholar. Xu Shanchang's lecture today, Zhong Hao listened to it and didn't understand anything, and he was really afraid of being asked by Xu Shanchang, he really didn't have any opinions to express, it was too embarrassing.
Xu Shanchang had actually noticed Zhong Hao a long time ago. Today, Deacon Yuan showed the approved assignments for this ten years to Chief Xu. Xu Shanchang also deliberately watched Zhong Hao's schoolwork.
Zhong Hao's schoolwork, Deacon Yuan gave a Zhongping comment, in fact, in the eyes of Xu Shanchang, he is also inferior, I am afraid that Deacon Yuan took Zhong Hao into the Xu Shanchang's special approval to enter the class of spontaneous nature, so he opened the net and gave Zhongping.
Xu Shanchang couldn't help but be a little strange, it is said that Zhong Hao's level should be very high, could it be that he looked away? Fortunately, his own Sanlang Xu Feng's words made him understand. It turned out that Zhong Hao had never worshiped his teacher, and no one had taught him this poem, and it was purely his own thinking. Xu Shanchang was relieved. From this point of view, although Zhong Hao's arguments and strategies are written a little jerky in order to conform to the format, they are all substantial and insightful. Puyu still needs to be carved, and it is obvious that Zhong Hao lacks only someone to guide him.
Today, Xu Shanchang deliberately did not ask Zhong Hao, for fear that he would not be able to answer and hit his confidence, after all, Zhong Hao had just entered the school and needed to study more. Xu Shanchang made up his mind that in the future, he would give more guidance to Zhong Hao and focus on training.
Xu Shanchang was almost done with today's class, so he announced the end of the class.
As soon as Xu Shanchang left, all the students of the Frank Hall gathered around Zhong Hao. They were very curious about this junior disciple who could be directly admitted to the Frank Hall.
There are more than a dozen students living in the school, and when Zhong Hao first came to Songlin Academy, he met him in a hurry. In addition, more than a dozen of them are studying like Zhong Hao, Zhong Hao has not seen them yet, so he salutes each other one by one.
"I heard that Wen Xuan is the talent who did the "Water Tune Song Head" at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting?"
"Since Wen Xuan has written to Ye Xingshou, he must be very familiar with Ye Xingshou, I wonder if you can take us to meet Ye Xingshou?"
"A while ago, it was rumored that Zhong Hao, the talented man who did "Water Tune Song Head", was imprisoned, Wen Xuan, is this true?
Zhong Hao didn't dare to admit it in public, if he did, maybe someone wanted to step on Zhong Hao to become famous, and then he would come to himself to compete, it would be very annoying. After comparison, people feel that their level should be like this, but they can't compare to slap themselves in the face, and people just take advantage of this to become famous. Of course, Zhong Hao knew that he wouldn't be able to hide this matter for a long time, and sooner or later it would be known that he was that Zhong Hao, but Zhong Hao still felt that he could delay it.
Zhong Hao said with a smile: "Senior brothers, you are laughing, the younger brother is only a shallow learner, how to make such wonderful words!" It's just the same name! ”
Everyone just didn't believe it, but Zhong Hao didn't let go, and everyone had no choice.
Zhong Hao said: "In the future, I will need more guidance from your senior brothers." The younger brother would like to invite you to go to the natural restaurant, have a few drinks, let's have a good time, I don't know if you can enjoy a few thin noodles and get together! "These students in the Frank Hall, there will definitely be people who will be high school scholars in the future, Zhong Hao is happy to have a good relationship with them, and maybe he will be able to have a thigh in the future.
The students of the Spontaneous Hall are not only the children of rich and noble families, but also many of them are the children of poor families. Those students from poor families heard that there was a banquet to eat, and they still went to the natural residence, but they were very happy. But the children of those rich and noble families coaxed: "There is no joy in wine, it's boring, it's better to find a more elegant green building, let's listen to the music, and talk about the wine at the same time, that's the fun!" ”
Zhong Hao's money was all spent on buying Yan Liben's map of the tower and looking at the river a few days ago, and he still didn't have the money to pay the bill when he went to Qinglou. At the moment, he said with a bitter face: "The little brother and aunt don't let the little brother set foot in the land of Fengyue too early, this little brother of Qinglou has been longing for a long time, but he has no courage!" ”
Everyone laughed at Zhong Hao. However, since Zhong Hao's family didn't let him go to the land of wind and moon, everyone couldn't force it, and finally went to the natural residence. Now in Qingzhou City, going to eat in the natural residence is priceless and not much cheaper than going to Qingzhou.
Everyone is a well-educated talent, and poetry is naturally indispensable during the banquet. However, Zhong Hao did not participate on the grounds that he was not knowledgeable, and if he participated, he was afraid that he would be punished for drinking. Fortunately, Zhong Hao is the youngest junior brother among all the people who has been the latest to enter school, and he is the proprietor of the treat, but no one forced him.
The literati drink feast, the poems and songs, and the couplets of the wine order are all indispensable to have a discussion. After this banquet, Zhong Hao looked tired, alas, this is really not easy to do!
Zhong Hao felt that it would be better to pretend to be a talent as little as possible in the future!
