Chapter 34 Eat Tea and Chat

Elegant, moderate, and like-minded, from afternoon to evening, Zhang Xianling's good impression of the young man in front of him is slowly accumulating bit by bit, "That's right, chess is a big change when it comes to the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the nineteen-line chess table is also finalized at this time, and at the same time, the prosperity of chess in the Southern Dynasties is really spontaneously yearning."

Zhang Xianling took a sip of the tea that had just been poured up, "In your opinion, why is chess so prosperous in the Southern Dynasty?" ”。

If it is just gossip in the front, then the question of Zhang County Order has a faint meaning of the school examination, after all, those who Tang Que said earlier can know as long as they have read the book, but this question is not conclusive at the moment, it depends on the respondent's own ability to analyze and synthesize historical materials, and this historical data is not only a historical material of Go, but is related to the politics, economy and mentality of the entire Wei and Jin dynasties. Therefore, when Zhang Xian ordered this question, the old master Yan who was talking next to him had already stopped talking, and wanted to listen to how Tang Que answered, and Lin Xuezheng also looked at it with interest.

Tang Que didn't expect Zhang Xianling to have such a question, thinking about it, this question is the same as the university exam in later generations, if you answer more, it will be an essay question, and if you only grasp the muscles, it will be a short answer.

Tang Que quickly organized the answer by adding tea and water for Yan and Lin, and waited for the tea to be poured and sat down before he slowly spoke: "From the perspective of students, there may be many reasons for the prosperity of Go in the Southern Dynasty, but the first one should be due to the hobbies and advocacy of the upper-class celebrities and magnates. Shen Yue of the Southern Dynasty said in the "Preface to Chess" that the Han and Wei dynasties were famous and virtuous, high-quality products came out of the room, the Jin and Song dynasties were famous scholars, and Yi thought about the stream, which is not a lie. Sima Shi to the Jin Dynasty Wei, as early as the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, there were many prominent people and celebrities who were good at chess, such as Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Wu was very good at chess, and the level of chess was on par with the famous players at that time, such as Shanzidao, Wang Zizhen, Guo Kai and others. At that time, the seven sons of Jian'an, who were represented by celebrities and scholars, were also very good at chess, among which Wang Cang and Ying Ying wrote "Go Fuxu" and a chess monograph "Yishi", which has been handed down to this day.

After Wei to Jin, Go is all the rage, and has formed an exclusive style of celebrity chess, Ruan Ji, Pei Yao and other celebrities are good at this, and then in the most famous Wang Xie family in the Southern Dynasty is not lacking in good chess people, Wang Dao, Wang Yue, Wang Xizhi, Wang Tanzhi, Xie An and others are all famous players for a while, not only Wang Xie, at that time celebrities such as Dade Zhi Dun and others are almost all bad at chess, the longest reigning Emperor Xiao Yan of the Southern Dynasty is a chess addiction, every night up here. The so-called good at the top, will be very good at the bottom, these princes and dignitaries love this way, it will definitely affect the entire Shilin trend, so it is not surprising that the world is good at chess", this was Tang Que's original answer, but the more he said himself, the more sure he was.

Just like in the history of literature, if the princes and nobles strongly advocated a certain genre, it will have a great impact on the creation of the entire literary world, and the prosperity of palace style poetry is the best example. Go is no exception.

After Tang Que finished saying the first one, he stole a glance at Old Master Yan, and saw that the old master was stroking his beard and nodding with a smile, so he immediately put his mind at ease. Although Zhang Que and Lin Xuezheng knew that Tang Que would be able to answer, they didn't expect him to answer such a question, the answer itself was nothing, but when thinking of this one, the answerer's own overlooking thinking angle really revealed the atmosphere and height, and when he thought of the environment in which Tang Que lived, this was particularly rare.

Zhang Xianling smiled slightly, held the teacup and said: "The argument is very high, the words are well-founded, this article is good, you go on to say it."

"As for the second article, it is because the Southern Dynasty was politically dark, political turmoil was frequent, up to the emperor, down to the scholars, the common people had a sense of shortness of life, and the dynasty was precarious, and there was no way out at that time, and the scholars used Go to sit in seclusion and escape from the world is also an important reason to promote the prosperity of chess in the Southern Dynasty", Tang Que had just finished speaking, and Lin Xuezheng was already the head of the jaw corresponding, "Listen to what you mean, there is a third reason?" ”。

"Yes, according to the students, the third reason lies in Go itself, not only because of the stereotype of the nineteen-line chess table, but also because of the promotion of 'quality chess'. It is the emergence and implementation of this kind of Go grading system that makes the game more competitive and stimulates the competition of chess players, thus promoting the development and prosperity of Go in the Southern Dynasties.

Tang Que answered this article from the perspective of later generations, and discussed the prosperity of Go in the Southern Dynasty from the perspective of competitive sports in later generations, which conflicted greatly with the concept of Go in the concept of Zhang Xianling and others, so that the three of them thought for a long time after listening to it, and finally Zhang Xianling took the lead in saying: "Nanye, what do you think?" ”。

Nanye is Lin Xuezheng's word, listening to Zhang County's question, Lin Xuezheng did not answer directly, but looked at Old Master Yan and said, "What do you think of the teachings?" ”。

"The argument is novel, and it can be regarded as the words of a family", Old Master Yan looked at Tang Que with a warning in his eyes as he spoke, "However, according to what Confucius and Mencius said about chess, the true meaning of the way of chess lies in self-cultivation.

Old Master Yan's words were very pedantic, and he faintly had the posture of asking questions and answers between master and apprentice, and Tang Que could only get up and be taught.

Originally, it was a leisurely conversation under the moon, but after Master Yan got this one, the atmosphere at the scene changed a little, so far Lin Xuezheng and the two of them didn't want to say anything, Zhang Xianling simply snorted and said: "The speaker is unintentional, smelling the foot ring, and the strict master is really true of the high apprentice." However, Tang Cheng has some insight at a young age, which is indeed rare, and when I was in Beijing in the past, I also made friends with a few good chess talents, if there is a chance in the future, Tang Cheng, you might as well meet them."

Lin Xuezheng also blamed Old Master Yan for not eating the ancients, which ruined Zhang County's good mood, and at this time, he naturally followed Zhang County's words and asked with a smile: "Now the Go national player should be Feng Wang's most popular, but what the adults are talking about is him?" ”。

"This person is too arrogant, I heard that there are good deeds to praise his invincible world, Feng Wang actually has a look on his face and no humility, it is just a chess without quality, such a person deserves the reputation of a national player, but the recent figure Wang Jixin is good at all arts, and there will be great achievements in the future", Zhang Xianling said Feng Wangshi's face was disapproving, "If you want to say that you have seen the same good in the capital, it is the San Lang on the palace of the Prime Minister of Anguo who is the most outstanding."

Speaking of this San Lang, Zhang Xianling's eyebrows were full of approval.

Although Tang Que has also studied history, after all, he studied literary history, and he is not familiar with the title of "San Lang", or Lin Xuezheng's words gave him a new understanding of this person, "An Guo Xiang Wangfu Saburo, what did the adults say is Li Sanlang Li Longji, who was once praised by the former queen as 'my family's thousand miles of horses'?" ”。

"It's not him! Although this person is young, he is generous, and getting along with him is really like a spring breeze, but it is a pity that he is not the eldest son of the prince's mansion, and the status of his biological mother is ...... lowly", Zhang County Ling Xu thought that it was inappropriate to talk about the royal family privately, and suddenly stopped talking after saying this, "Come, taste tea."
