Chapter 203: Poetry Club (4)

Once there are more people, the sound in this hall will be more noisy, and from time to time there will be people laughing, of course, a little louder will attract everyone's attention, and then the voice will naturally be lowered again. Wan Qiyang, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, observed these current situations, and still sighed a little in his heart about this kind of assembly, because he also found that there was a women's group in the hall, that is, several women also appeared in the poetry meeting. In the morning, he found this problem when he went shopping, and now there are many shops on the street that specialize in selling women's products, of course, feminine products here refer to eyebrow pens, cinnabar rouge and other painting and makeup products, of course, jewelry pendants, etc.

In the women around the coastal cities, they either draw eyebrows and eyes, Fu Fan Shi Zhu, and make up in the mirror, and women's consumption is becoming more and more extravagant. Dressing up has become fashionable, so there are more and more women's products stores. In addition, embroidery, weaving, sewing and other female workers became one of the important ways to spend time in the Ming Dynasty. Women engage in female popularity out of hobby, and secondly, they are influenced by the ancient precept that women have four virtues. Once a woman has a crush, she will personally embroider a beautiful purse for the other party or tailor clothes for Lang Jun. After Dong Xiaowan married Mao Bijiang, "she threw away the orchestra, washed all the lead, and carefully studied the female red, so that she did not leave home for the whole month", as a result, Dong Xiaowan's female red skills improved by leaps and bounds, "not only embroidery Yan is skillful and fresh, but also good at cutting and weaving characters and wisps of gold palindrome." ”

And the woman who happens to be in this green building, everyone who can be the top card or is unusually red and purple, it is all qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the female red can also be used. is much stronger than those modern female stars, but the status of this profession is much lower, and it is completely a character that is looked down upon.

"Young Master Mo, maybe the poetry club is about to start, and it will depend on you in a while, and we will come with you!" Wan Qiyang's thoughts were interrupted by Jiang Shusheng's words.

"Brother Jiang, you are the main force. I'm just watching the fun, hahaha. Wan Qiyang is also a little relaxed, he thinks that even if he is in this outfit, he will be thought to be coming to cheat to eat and drink or to see the makeup of 'everyone' Ning Xing'er.

"Brother Mo, you are wrong, you don't know, now in our hall, there have been several groups, do you see if there are already a few pieces of faces, each talking about its own." Zhang Xiaopang hurriedly said it again, and at the same time, the two of them stayed together because they knew Jiang Shusheng.

Sure enough, Wan Qiyang also discovered such a phenomenon at a casual glance. "Then after a while, it will compete according to the situation of this group?" Wan Qiyang also asked casually.

That's probably what it meant, and several people nodded. Wan Qiyang also smiled dumbly, when did he seem to become the core of this group, is it because he looks a little older?

At this moment, there was a sound of the piano in the hall, Wan Qiyang thought it was the sound of the piano, it was indeed the sound of the piano, but it was not the piano, but the guqin was not the guzheng. Because the voice is slightly low, everyone needs to be quiet to hear clearly, like the qin played by Zhuge Liang standing at the head of Xicheng during the Three Kingdoms period is the guqin. The most ancient representative repertoire of the guqin is "Jieshi Tune. The song "Youlan", describing Confucius's ambition to use the empty valley Youlan as a metaphor, has been more than 1,400 years now. There are also "Guangling San", "Chic Yunshui", "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", etc., and there are thousands of existing piano scores. China's historical records record the legend of Yu Boya and Zhongzi's meeting bosom friend in the high mountains and flowing waters, as well as the story of Kong Ming's skillful use of the empty city plan in the "Three Kingdoms" and the story of the 100,000 army of Sima who retreated from the qin are all guqins rather than guzheng. The body of the guqin is made of a single wood, and the surface of the qin is tied with seven strings, so it is called "seven-stringed qin" in ancient times. The strings are tied by velvet rope and tied around the string shaft, which is a "horseless instrument" of plucked music; The guzheng is made up of a frame, a panel, and a base. The earliest Zheng was 5 strings, which developed into 12 strings at the end of the Warring States Period, 13 strings in the Sui Dynasty, 16 strings in the Qing Dynasty, 21 strings in the 60s of the last century, and 24-26 strings in recent years. The strings are evenly arranged on the surface of the zither, and each string is supported by a herringbone string horse, which is a "horse instrument" of the plucked music category. The sound of the guqin is subtle and deep, simple and elegant, expressive and rich in connotation, and extremely rich, so it was listed as the first of "piano, chess, calligraphy and painting" by literati and scholars in ancient times; The guzheng is basically a string of 1-2 tones, moving the string horse (column) in the same string, which can be adjusted as the pitch, the range is wide, the volume is grand, the timbre is pure and beautiful, melodious and pleasant.

When everyone was quiet, a crisp voice sounded in the hall, and Wan Qiyang naturally knew the owner of this voice, because it was Xiao Cui who was talking at this time who took him and Jiang Shusheng upstairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 'Xingfang Pavilion' to participate in the 'Poetry Friends Association' organized by Miss Xu Xiaoqian, everyone will meet friends with poetry, which not only cultivates everyone's sentiments, but also provides a warm guarantee for the people who suffered in Jingjiang." At this time, Xiao Cui paused, and according to custom, Wan Qiyang quickly applauded and shouted: "Okay! How do you know that only his voice sounded, which was particularly abrupt at the moment, but Wan Qiyang was so sophisticated, and after calling it well, he still stood up without humility or arrogance, "Xiaocui said it so well, in order to show my support, I personally sponsored two hundred taels of charity money for this charity event." ”

At this time, a low voice quickly appeared in the hall, obviously someone was discussing, and some were mainly asking what the identity of this person was, whether it was a scholar or a businessman, and there was a way to learn and excel, and if it was a business, it would not be on the table. And Zhang Xiaopang even understood it, and hurriedly picked up the silver ticket and ran to the rostrum to hand over the donation.

China has a tradition of "charity" since ancient times, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the king of Zhou had set up the post of "Situ" in the central administrative position. In addition, the social assistance measures adopted during the famine period are called "famine administration". One of the acts of non-governmental charity is to provide meals directly to the roadside to those in need, which is the so-called "soup kitchen". Although it is simple, it is one of the most popular acts of charity, inherited from generations in China. It is widely recognized in ancient and modern times that charity requires sufficient economic strength. So, where did the money for charity come from in ancient times? Judging from historical data, as in modern times, ancient charity funds mainly came from state financial allocations and private donations. In ancient times, the most active and enthusiastic people in charity were monks. The purpose of Buddhism is to benefit all sentient beings, to do good deeds to help others, and to devote oneself to charitable activities is also an inevitable choice for monks. The founders of the "Six Diseases Hall", the earliest charity in China, mentioned above, are both Buddhists of Jingling Wang, Xiao Ziliang, and Wenhui, Prince Xiao Changmao. The best official charity work in ancient times should have been done in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, corresponding charitable organizations appeared in various fields, and there were "Futian Yuan" and "Nursing Home" for the adoption of beggars, the disabled and the lonely elderly; There are "Anji Hospital" and "Huimin Pharmacy"; Dead have a "leaky garden"; Children have "Juzicang" and "Salesian Bureau...... These are government-run charitable organizations and welfare institutions. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, various new types of mutual aid and relief organizations in the form of "guilds" directly promoted the great development of non-governmental philanthropy.
