Chapter 88: Tianwen

The black characters on the white wall are like stars in the eternal night, shining and combined, like the nine heavens of the Milky Way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

From the very beginning, "In the beginning of antiquity, who preached it?" The top and bottom are not formed, why should they be tested? "Ask the heavens and the earth to be yellow, and the universe is desolate.

To the middle of the "Kyushu Ann Mistake? Kawasani Ho Chun? The eastward flow does not overflow, who knows why? "Ask about the composition of the earth and the reason why the rivers flow eastward.

and then to the end of "I tell you to block Ao for not long." How can you try to give yourself and be loyal? "Ask the rise and fall of Chu and the history of the world.

The whole poem has more than 300 sentences and more than 1,500 words, and the prominent one is the word "ask".

Whether it is the principle of heaven and earth, the end of survival and death, the retribution of good and evil, and the theory of magic and ghosts...... Almost everything, although Mingyue had also read it in his previous life, but now he read it on the spot in front of the Jixia School Palace, as more than a hundred questions came into view one by one, one by one into his mind, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart that "my life has an end, and there is no end to knowledge".

Like the young scholars next to him who came to Jixia School Palace for the first time and saw their shocked faces, Mingyue also issued a heartfelt admiration.

"It's really worthy of "Tianwen"!"

"Chang'anjun knows about this work?"

The handsome young man who called himself Tian Jia said curiously: "Then Chang'anjun knows why this poem was composed, and why does it appear on the entrance wall of this Jixia School Palace?" ”

"I heard that Qu Ping, the doctor of the State of Chu, has been to the State of Qi twice, and I think his works are also widely circulated in the State of Qi." Mingyue smiled: "My mother is the princess of King Qi Min, she has always liked Qu Ci, and she also used the words in Qu Ci to give me a nickname, I think she also admired Qu Zi's demeanor when she was young......"

Tian Jia looked at Chang Anjun, and was a little curious about what his nickname would be? However, it seems that the other party does not intend to reveal it to a new acquaintance, so his face turned red, and he coughed and said in a low voice:

"Yes, more than thirty years ago, Qu Zi was an envoy of the Chu State, and he came to Linzi twice, and also visited the Jixia School Palace. However, "Tianwen" is different from Qu Zi's other poems, the most popular in the Jixia School Palace is to discuss the problem in the form of questions and answers. “

"It turned out to be inspired by the Academy Palace." Mingyue is clear, unlike chapters such as Lisao, the depth of "Tianwen" has far exceeded that of ordinary literary works.

Qu Zi's "Tianwen" was originally only widely sung by Corporal Ji, and then because King Min had no way, Mr. Jixia scattered, and the school palace was abandoned for a time. In the Battle of Linzi of the Five Kingdoms, the outer wall of the school palace was also destroyed. Until the restoration of the king, the palace was rebuilt, and Xunzi was elected as the sacrificial wine, so it was suggested to write the full text of "Tianwen" on the outer wall. “

"First, it is to commemorate Qu Zi's ...... who died by throwing himself into the river"

Speaking of this, Tian Jia's voice was a little gloomy, she was different from other princesses and nobles, she had little interest in red makeup, but she was fascinated by those profound knowledge and popular poems. Among them, the most admired is Qu Yuan, the tragic and miserable life of Dr. Sanlu, which also made her young shed tears countless times, feeling that this is a lost talent.

Second, this is not only a question that Qu Zi left for Jixia Xuegong, but also a mystery that everyone in the Xuegong wants to solve all their lives. The sacrificial wine hopes that everyone who enters the school palace will enter with full doubts, have the courage to ask questions, discuss with each other, and finally find the answer when they leave the school palace. “

"Xunzi is really well-intentioned, Qu Zi's proud work is placed here, it is really appropriate!"

Mingyue has an extra layer of admiration for Xunzi, unlike Mencius, a regional discriminator who scolds all the Chu people and Chu scholars as "Southern Barbarian Dove" and disdains them, Xunzi is much more lenient in this regard.

He is telling the world unmistakably that the attitude of seeking up and down in "Tianwen" is the spirit of Jixia Academy!

"It's really worth the trip this time."

Thinking like this, Mingyue was even more looking forward to seeing Xunzi himself. He calmed down, left the Zhaobi that had been coiled for a long time, and continued to walk towards the depths of the school palace.

However, Tian Jia was still immersed in Fang Cai's admiration for Qu Yuan, she remembered that when she was hunting in Yingqiu Mountain, Chang'anjun's conversation was extraordinary, and she was justified when pointing out the country, so she asked: "I don't know what Chang'anjun thinks of Qu Zi?" ”

This question was asked suddenly, Mingyue thought for a while, and said, "He is a good poet and a good doctor. ”

"What else?" Tian Jia was not enough, and continued to ask.

Mingyue had no choice but to say again: "Although he is not a wise person, he can be described as a wonderful talent......

"Not wise!?"

Tian Jia, who admired Qu Yuan, was furious, and couldn't help but raise her tone, and her voice, which was deliberately suppressed and was similar to a boy's voice change period, also became sharp, and Chang Anjun frowned when he heard it.

She thought that her identity was exposed, so she hurriedly shut up, and saw that Chang Anjun was not more unusual, so she raised her eyebrows and said: "Chang Anjun's words, I'm afraid it will be unfair to Qu Zi!" Qu Ziqi is well-read and strong-willed, clear in controlling chaos, and adept at rhetoric. Consult with the king on state affairs and make decrees; When you go out, you will meet guests and contact princes, how can you say that you are not a wise person? “

Mingyue looked at her slender neck without an Adam's apple, and then looked at her long eyelashes that trembled slightly from anger, which almost confirmed the conjecture, and she had a bottom in her heart, so she smiled:

"I mean, Qu Zi has been searching all his life, but he has not made any practical changes in the country, and he cannot prevent the decline of the Chu State, and the Yingdu has fallen, and half of the mountains and rivers have been lost. In the end, he only ended up throwing himself into the water and dying, so it seems that he is indeed not a person who settles the country. If there is a fallacy, I would like to hear about it. “

Tian Jia argued for Qu Yuan: "Qu Zi can't help it, at that time, King Chu Huai was unconscious, and in the court of Chu State, Shangguan Doctor and Zilan's generation were also greedy for money and afraid of death, and they couldn't tolerate Qu Zi, so they slandered and deceived the public, causing King Chu Huai to alienate Qu Zi." Later, King Huai was deceived by Zhang Yi again, and he was defeated and cut down, and his six counties died, and he died in Qin, laughing for the world. ”

"When the new king of Chu ascended the throne, he forgot all the national shame, the traitorous ministers continued to be in power, Qu Zi wanted to save the king and rejuvenate the country, but he was exiled again, and he stayed in the land of Xiangyuan in the south of the Yangtze River for ten years. By the time Yan Ying fought a battle, the Chu State had lost half of the country, and Qu Zi was powerless to recover it......"

"Qu Zi's text, its text, its rhetoric. Qu Zi's nature, his ambition is pure, and his deeds are honest. It is precisely because of his honest behavior that he will not be tolerated by the treacherous people until he dies, and Qu Zi does not want his bright whiteness and the dust of the world, and would rather devote himself to the belly of the river fish, and the cicada will to die in turbidity! “

Speaking of this, Tian Jia was already a little excited, and concluded: "In my opinion, Qu Zi's ambition is to compete with the sun and the moon!" ”

Mingyue didn't think so, the smoke and clouds of history gathered and dispersed in the sky above Miluo, leaving a heartbreaking river and endless thoughts from generation to generation, and the mourning for Qu Yuan was also mixed with too many personal emotions, especially the girl's heart like water in front of her.

Qu Yuan's Chu resignation was divorced, and he hated it in his previous life, but Qu Yuan was too tall in many literary works, especially his political talent, as if King Chu Huai appointed him, and the Chu State could reverse its fate and defeat Qin in one fell swoop.

Naive!

He said lightly: "If Qi Ji is bound by the reins, what is the difference between it and a bad horse?" “

As soon as these words came out, Tian Jia was shocked, and said angrily: "I know what Chang'anjun is thinking, as a prince, you must be thinking, Qu Zi is in such a chaotic world, he should be like Zhang Yi and other people who are short and long, choose good trees to live in, and the whole world is turbid, why not follow the flow and raise its waves?" Everyone is drunk, why not feed it and sip it, you don't have to be attached to Chu. As everyone knows, this is the rare thing about Qu Zi! Qu Zi loves his country and his people, so he will die for the country and the people! ”

Mingyue shook her head: "No, I didn't look down on Qu Zi because he was patriotic and didn't go, I just felt that if he really wanted to save the Chu State, why should he have pinned his hopes on the King of Chu?" ”

Tian Jia was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Mingyue smiled: "I mean, if I were Qu Ping, I would never rely on the faint monarch to wake up and change my ways." When the Qin people invaded, it was better to stand up by themselves, with Qu Zi's prestige among the Chu people, raise their arms and shout, according to the land of Jiangnan, handsome hundreds of thousands of Chu people in Jiangnan and Guizhou to resist Qin, and in time, recover Yingdu, turn the tide and help the building to fall, but it can be carried out! ”
