Chapter 266: Xiaobai, petty bourgeoisie, traditional literature?

Seeing the situation in the audience, Sun Yueling sighed in his heart, it seems that scholars are also good things, those boring one-man speeches can't arouse their interest at all, only fierce arguments and confrontations will stimulate their eyeballs, make them feel happy and worthwhile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But in that case, it doesn't matter if they argue it. As long as the heat is grasped well and does not cause conflicts between many parties, then it is not impossible to let the various literary schools discuss and discuss each other.

After thinking about this, he said to Zhong Yansong, who was standing on the stage: "Young Master Zhong, the rules have been decided, why don't you hurry down, is it possible that you want to reason with the Tan family in person?" ”

Zhong Yansong sneered and said, "You would have been fine if you were like this." With that, he jumped off the stage and walked back to his seat.

Although the rules have changed, it does not mean that anyone can speak on stage, Sun Yueling immediately asked each school that if they want to send people to the stage to debate, they must be approved by their Fenghua Society, and as always, only one person can be sent. Under the argument of both sides, if one side is willing to concede, then the other side sends a representative to argue with the winner; If both sides are in dispute and are unwilling to admit defeat, then the one who came to the stage first will back down and let the next representative come to the stage to debate.

Although the rules were a bit harsh and unsatisfactory, everyone in the audience still reluctantly agreed, and some people shouted to start debating quickly, don't waste everyone's precious time.

After some deliberation, Sun Yueling decided to follow the original order of his speeches, and the next school to take the stage, the "Yunjian School", sent people to the stage to debate. After a while, a young man sitting in the front seat stood up and strode towards the high platform.

The crowd immediately let out a burst of exclamation, and there was a lot of discussion.

"The Yunjian faction actually sent Su Song's talented son Chen Zilong?" Han Xiaoshui was taken aback, obviously incredulous.

"He's Chen Zilong?" Sun Yueling saw that this person was very young and not amazing, and he couldn't imagine that he was Chen Zilong, a talented man in Jiangnan who was famous in the world for his poetry, and later founded "several societies" and finally fought against the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Zilong strode onto the high platform, and after bowing to Tan Yuanchun, he said proudly: "Although what the Tan family said just now is quite innovative, it is too claustrophobic after all, and it may be difficult to ascend to the hall of elegance. ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers. Chen Zilong was really young and vigorous, and as soon as he exited, he was ruthless in the confrontation, which ignited the fuse of this debate and made the atmosphere suddenly tense.

Tan Yuanchun squinted at him and said lightly: "It turned out to be a sleeping son, I want to hear it, what do you have to say?" ”

Chen Zilong looked around the audience and said loudly: "What Mr. Shicai said, only the only way to express one's soul and return to elegance is the way of writing, and I can't agree with this plea. From ancient times to the present, good articles, are tempered by the painstaking efforts of the predecessors into chapters and sentences, have their own rhyme, whether it is Qin Wen Han Fu, we must pay attention to rhyme and chapters, if you go as you like, random writing, will it not become a flashy slang language, such a shallow sentence, can only be widely circulated among the common people in the market, and how can it get into the eyes of Confucian masters? ”

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Fang Cai also said that the article does not have to follow the past, but must change with the times, don't you know, we have learned the scriptures and the poems we have recited since childhood, and the poems we have recited since childhood are all good articles left by our predecessors. Therefore, in the next thought, the time and the text change because of the world, but it is not what you say wanton and change, but to pay attention to the rules, grasp the proportion, especially in the 'guide to the beauty, ridicule and sneer' to change, everything should be aimed at the joys, sorrows and sorrows of real life, reflecting the beauty and ugliness of the world, not just changing between the lines, although there are changes between the two, but the core of the 'change' is not the same, if it is like you, it can only become' 'The world's dry sentences' have been reduced to a niche for self-entertainment, and it cannot be accepted by real scholars from the heart. ”

These words were impassioned, and they refuted Tan Yuanchun's words in detail, and immediately provoked endless applause from the audience.

Tan Yuanchun sneered and said: "The way of the world has changed, and the way of writing has naturally changed with it, how can you be like you short-sighted people, sitting in the Elephant Trunk Tower, reading the Four Books and Five Classics, touting each other and being contented, while ignoring the voices of ordinary people in the world?" I think that the article is a matter of the world, not only the reading scholar can be the text, even those women, children, old and young can also be written, but I don't know, Bai Letian composes poems every time the old woman looks at it, Wang Jiefu writes words and knocks sentences, nothing more than to make the article simple and plain, familiar and easy to understand, if you say that, the text and sentences have to quote the classics, pretend to be profound, make the article obscure and cold, difficult to understand its meaning, and how can it be recognized by the world's readers? ”

Chen Zilong laughed and said: "Tan everyone, I will secretly change the concept, I just said that the text should change to a certain extent, not as random as you said, you slandered me for pretending to be profound, obscure, it is really ridiculous!" When did I say that the article must be written obscure and profound, on the contrary, I believe that the poem should be 'thick and spiritual, deviant and close to the truth', and the meaning of the text should be 'deep and eternal, enough to prosper and reach the feelings', this is what our Yunjian faction has always advocated 'judging the situation', not like you Jingling faction only know 'Ning Jin Ning, unwilling to pick up a word', write at will, blindly express, and finally fall into a narrow and vulgar realm, the text only reflects their own temperament, shallow and inferior, deviating from real life, and difficult to enter the eyes of the Fang family! ”

Tan Yuanchun's face turned red with anger when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Chen Zilong, I actually oppose retro learning, just because you quote the scriptures in vain, don't know how to be flexible, follow the rules and follow the old rules, and copy and plagiarize every sentence The words of 'vigorous' are clearly partial generalizations, biased cognitions, wantonly slandering our Jingling Doctrine, and slandering our Jingling School......"

The two argued endlessly on the stage and did not back down from each other, which made Sun Yueling, who was watching from the audience, laugh. But if you think about it, what these two people said is indeed reasonable, but both are biased.

After watching it for so long, his impression of these literary genres has become clearer and clearer, and the so-called public security faction that began to come to power is probably the representative of the so-called Xiaobaiwen in later generations. Jingling faction, it is one step more refined than the public security faction, it is the elite old Baiwen in the small white text, it can also be said to be a small bourgeoisie, although it is still the popular and straightforward set in the bones, but it can also be regarded as paying attention to the four words "thick and exquisite", but after all, it is still too monotonous and persistent, and it is not recognized by orthodox scribes.

The Yunjian School is the representative of traditional literature, and its position in the literary world has always been important, and it is the type that represents the "high and great" in the literary world, paying attention to elegance and standardization, paying attention to real life, and reflecting social phenomena. Especially in this era of relying on the imperial examination, the Yunjian School pays attention to the scriptures and advocates the way of ancient learning, which is in line with the minds of most scholars, so it is more influential in the Jiangnan area.

For a very simple example, the college entrance examination essay will not always test those petty bourgeois essays or popular fantasy essays and fairy tales, and the main content of the Daming scientific examination is also based on the Confucian orthodoxy of the Four Books and Five Classics, rather than the popular prose travelogues and novels and poems at that time.

After another tea time, the two people on the stage still scolded each other and refused to back down. Sun Yueling couldn't, so he had to go to the stage to dissuade them, let them act in accordance with the rules of the conference, and invited Tan Yuanchun to step down and replace the representative of another school on the stage to debate.

Although Tan Yuanchun was angry, he couldn't violate the rules of the conference after all, so he could only snort angrily, throw down the sentence "I'll reason with you again in the future", and walked off the stage angrily.

As soon as Tan Yuanchun went, Chen Zilong smiled and bowed his hands to the audience. The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause to cheer for him, a young student, and support the various doctrines of the Yunjian School.

Han Xiaoshui came to Sun Yueling's side at this time, and said in a low voice: "This Tan Yuanchun represents Heshan Academy, and he is a person supported by the Jinling Club, it seems that they are prepared this time and want to show off at this conference." We at Fenghua Academy must be careful not to let them dominate and occupy the dove's nest! ”

Sun Yueling nodded in understanding.

In fact, this time the Fenghua Society held a speech conference, and the Fenghua Society planned to let its affiliated Fenghua Academy give a speech, in an attempt to use the interests of the host to promote its own academic views and life philosophy in front of all the readers, so as to enhance the influence of the Fenghua Society in Jiangnan and even the entire world. But the Yunjian faction and the Jinling Society in front of him seemed to be prepared, and I don't know how many people they mobilized in the back, which made the Yunjian faction respond to every call, and the servants gathered, as if they had become a real champion in the literary world.

A smile appeared at the corner of Sun Yueling's mouth, and he said lightly: "The good show is ahead, have you ever been here?" ”

Han Xiaoshui replied: "Here I am, I am preparing to take the stage to debate at this moment." ”

"That's fine, let's just stay at ease and continue to watch the show!" Sun Yueling sat down again when he heard this, and his demeanor became as relaxed as ever - although the Yunjian faction was powerful, he was not unprepared, in order to deal with the Yunjian faction under the control of the Jinling Society, he had already planned.

Next, in full view of everyone, a gray-clothed Confucian student slowly picked up the stage and walked towards Chen Zilong, who was standing in the middle of the stage. When Chen Zilong saw this person on stage, his face changed, but he quickly calmed down again, and he became the same as he was pointing at the beginning.

"It turned out to be the Ainan Yingai family of Yuzhang Society?" Some people in the banquet couldn't help but shout, causing more people to exclaim.

Sun Yueling took a long time, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly.

This Ai Nanying is the founder of the Jiangxi Yuzhang Society, and the head of the successor of the "Tang and Song factions", and the Yunjian Society in the south of the Yangtze River has always been inconsistent, and his views on the current literature are also disagreeable, and they are very different.

He was very calm in his heart, not afraid that Ai Nanying would not be able to argue with Chen Zilong. One is because Ai Nanying has always been famous and good at argumentation; The second is because the Tang and Song schools of Ai Nanying are popular schools south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, which have been inherited for a long time, and they are not the Yunjian school that has been established for only a few years; The most important thing is that, in his view, although the two are both traditional literature, the Tang and Song factions represent the reformers in traditional literature, while the Yunjian faction represents the conservative school of traditional literature.

After Ai Nanying took the stage, the crowd erupted in surprises again, unexpectedly Ai Nanying, as the leader of a faction, actually put down his face and personally went to the stage to reason with Chen Zilong, a young descendant, it seemed that he was not convinced, and he was bound to compete with the Yunjian faction, and he was speechless; At the same time, everyone felt very happy, and felt that the trip was worthwhile, and the more fierce the confrontation on the stage, the more exciting and lively they felt.

Unexpectedly, after Ai Nanying came to power, she did not directly debate with Chen Zilong, but looked around the audience and said loudly: "Students, we scholars have been studying the scriptures and history since childhood, and we have been worrying all night, what have we learned? ”

Everyone was surprised that he had such a question, and they didn't know what he wanted to say.

Ai Nanying didn't wait for everyone to answer, and said to herself: "On the temple today, the people of the clear stream have been deposed, and the people who jump off the beam are rampant, so that the mountains and rivers are discolored, and the sun and the moon are covered with dust. ”

Ai Nanying seemed to be more and more angry the more she spoke, and waved her fist in the air: "The initiator of all this is Wei Zhongxian, the head of the eunuch party, Wei Eunuch acted perversely, bewitching the Holy Lord, so that I will be a rich wolf tomorrow, and the world will be sluggish. ”

When many scholars in the audience heard about Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs, they were also angry and echoed his words loudly. All of a sudden, the audience became boiling, and countless people began to scold Wei Zhongxian and reprimand the various sins of the eunuch party.

Sun Yueling was taken aback, he didn't expect Ai Nanying to come to such a show, wantonly slandering the nine-thousand-year-old father-in-law Wei in public, this is not a fun thing. It is impossible for the eunuch party not to send spies to monitor such a grand event, and Ai Nanying's method will only bring harm to everyone.

Although Sun Yueling thought so, Ai Nanying on the stage seemed to have become even more out of control, and continued: "Mao Yilu, the lackey governor under Wei Gelding's tent, actually openly built a shrine for Wei Eunuch in Suzhou City, which is simply a great muse in the world, and has not been heard of since ancient times......
