Chapter 478: Stone Statue of Confucius
"Ahem, that, Uncle Fang, Uncle Wei Chi, although this toilet is easy to use, there is no need to make a fuss? Your Majesty is still waiting! ”
Li Yi stood outside the toilet and shouted at the top of his voice, he was very helpless, I don't know what these two old people think, they have to take a dip in the toilet, saying that they want to feel it. The most helpless thing is that Li Er didn't stop him, and after he walked around, he walked around the teaching building, full of interest, and he was not annoyed at all.
"Okay, here it is, you stinky boy, ** you urge too!"
Cheng Biting Jin muttered, and then Li Yi heard a sound of Xixi Suo Suo from the toilet, followed by the sound of flushing. Then there was the sound of rushing water, and after that, the sound of rushing water.
Li Yi slapped his forehead and rolled his eyes wildly!
After waiting for a stick of incense, the second general Hum Ha walked out unsatisfied, and when he came out, his face was still curious.
"Are the two uncles comfortable?"
Li Yipi didn't smile.
"Haha, it's comfortable, that, Yi boy, go back and let your craftsman come to my house!"
Cheng Yanjin said it very naturally, as if the craftsmen were like their family.
"Well, I'll go too!"
Yu Chigong also answered.
Li Yi didn't even bother to roll his eyes.
"You two better wait, let's line up first!"
"Queue? What's in line? ”
Cheng Yanjin was stunned.
"What do you say?"
Li Yi glanced at Li Er and said helplessly.
Hmph, the second general suddenly understood.
"Ah, hahaha, that's okay, don't rush first, let's go!"
The three of them walked out of the teaching building slowly, mainly because the second general couldn't get up quickly.
"Your Majesty, the time is almost up, the ceremony is about to begin, let's go to the square first!"
Out of the teaching building, Li Yi directly found Li Er.
Li Er had nothing to do, nodded, and walked towards the square with a group of people.
Along the stone steps that extend in all directions, everyone chatted while enjoying the scenery, and it didn't take long for them to come to the square.
The square is circular, the whole square ground is paved with flat stone slabs, the square area is very large, enough for thousands of people to stand in it without looking crowded, the square is surrounded by a whole circle of flower beds, and the most conspicuous building is a stone statue of Confucius nearly ten meters high in the middle of the square, the whole stone statue is carved by a huge stone, mobilized dozens of stonemasons, it took nearly a month, meticulously carved, to see the completion, it can be said that this stone statue is the highest and most conspicuous building of the whole academy.
As soon as Li Eryi came here, he was attracted by the stone statue in the center of the square.
"Boy, you are really willing to spend the money, you can actually make such a big stone statue!"
"Uncle Li, the boy spent all his savings in the past two years in order to build this academy, and this stone statue is not bad, mainly because the boy thinks that a academy should have an object of admiration, the previous academy hung the portrait of Confucius on the wall, and the boy felt that it would not play a role at all, so he created this stone statue, I think, in this way, all the students who came out of the Shanshui Academy can know what is the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the style of Confucianism!"
When Li Er heard this, he couldn't stop nodding, he didn't feel that there was still a trace of envy in his eyes, and he was happy when Li Yi saw it in his eyes.
Li Er was quite calm, but the scholars behind Li Er were already trembling with excitement.
They were still discussing whether to abandon the official and come here to teach, mainly because the environment here is too good, and it is not far from Chang'an, so it is really a good home, so they all want to come and occupy a position as soon as possible; However, they can't give up their official positions, although their official positions are all fictitious, and they basically have no rights, but in addition to worship, it's also a symbol of status, isn't it?
But now it's different, Li Yi made such a stone statue of Confucius, which immediately became a holy place in the hearts of Confucian scholars, this is not an exaggeration, where there is Confucius, there is Confucianism, this is by no means a lie, it can be said that the Shanshui Academy has this stone statue, if there is a great Confucian affirmation, then the Shanshui Academy will be immediately raised.
"Li Xiaoyou, I don't know if your stone statue has a historical basis?"
Suddenly, an old voice rang out.
Li Yi looked at it fixedly, and was stunned for a moment, there were many officials who came today, there were nearly twenty people, and Li Yi didn't look at them one by one, mainly because he was not very interested in these old scholars, but he didn't expect that his negligence would reveal such a big guy.
Gai Wenyi!
Gai Wenyi may not be familiar with it, but if you want to say that his brother Gai Wenda, it is a big name, not to mention anything else, in terms of learning, like them, the great Confucians of the time, what is a great Confucian, what is a book and a book is a common thing, let's just say that one of the most special things is that when Wu Meiniang entered the palace, it was Gai Wenda who handled it single-handedly, and even the name Wu Zhao was changed by him, and he was a character of Niu B!
Li Yi has been in Chang'an for two years, and he naturally knows all these people, not to the beginning, no one is unfamiliar with them, but the two gods known as "Ergai", Li Yi naturally knows.
Li Yi didn't dare to slack off, this was a figure at the same level as Kong Yingda, bowed down, and replied respectfully: "Dr. Huigai, the image of this statue of Confucius is based on the joint study of ancient books by Confucius (Kong Yingda), Yan Shilang (Yan Liben), and Family Teacher (Fang Xuanling), and it is basically in line with the image of Confucius Sheng!" ”
In fact, the biggest credit for this stone statue still belongs to Li Yi, as a person of later generations, he is no stranger to the portrait of Confucius, and the most exquisite stone statue of Confucius in ancient times is the Confucius statue of Wu Daozi, but unfortunately, now Wu Daozi has not been born, so he can only let Li Yi do it for him.
When Gai Wenyi heard this, he turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling replied.
"I and the old man are involved in this stone statue, but Yi'er has given a lot of opinions on the specific image!"
Everyone looked at Li Yi and was immediately amazed, making a stone statue of Confucius is definitely a big deal, especially with the participation of Kong Yingda, a descendant of Confucius, it is even more sloppy, however, this is it, Li Yi can still give his opinion and be adopted, which is enough to prove that Li Yi has a lot of knowledge.
Li Yi didn't want to be public, but since Fang Xuanling had made a name for him, he was not modest.
Li Yi stood up, pointed to the stone statue of Confucius with his palm, and explained lightly: "In terms of image, the costumes and posture of this stone statue of Confucius are based on the diagram of Confucius Xingjiao; The age is about 60 to 70 years old, because this time is the peak age of Kong Sheng, and his facial expression is gentle and fierce, powerful but not fierce, respectful and peaceful. Embody the image of solemn kindness, kindness and harmony, humility and wisdom. ”
Everyone nodded uncontrollably, Gai Wenyi listened, looked at the stone statue of Confucius carefully for a long time, nodded, and did not speak again, obviously acquiescing.
Seeing that Li Yi had successfully passed everyone's approval, Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing smiled at the same time.
