Chapter 186: A Different Kind of Confucian Teaching
In the hall, Confucian was sitting on the chair of the elm south official's hat, his eyes closed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xie Shen didn't know if his old man was taking a nap, so he didn't dare to make too much noise, so he just stood with his hands tied and waited quietly.
It didn't take long for Confucius to open his eyes and say, "Since you're here, what are you doing standing there?" ”
Xu Shi caught a glimpse of the bamboo box in Xie Shen's hand, and Confucius asked more: "What are you holding in your hand?" ”
Xie Shen hurriedly walked up to Confucius and saluted, "The student has seen the teacher. This is a waterfall tea from Yuyao, and the students bring it to their teachers to try. ”
When Confucius heard that the bamboo box was filled with tea, he said with a sigh: "The old man of this Yuyao Waterfall tea also often drinks it, but the price has skyrocketed recently, and the old man is almost unable to afford it." ”
Xie Shen secretly slandered in his heart, and said in his heart, your old man is also a county teacher, how can you not afford to buy tea.
Moreover, the price of Yuyao Xianming is one grade lower than that of Qiantang Longjing, and Xie Shen has seen all kinds of dragon wells treasured in the Confucian study......
"The eaves are loose and the wind is swept away, and the light yin is the tea picking, and the invitation goes straight to the top of the lonely peak, and the city is competing for the valley before the rain.
Two baskets of east and west branches, a lamp of children reunited,
After the fried green has reached the end of the year, it is still trying to divide the waterfall spring. ”
I don't know when the Confucian edict came up with elegant meaning, and he actually recited poems.
When Xie Shen was about to admire, he felt that something was wrong.
Isn't this the poem he recited at the West Lake Yaji that day in praise of Yuyao Waterfall tea?
He never mentioned it to Confucius, so who said it?
Is it Xie Pi or Wang Shouwen?
Xie Shen, who was "trapped" again, only felt very depressed.
Poetry is good or not, but it also depends on where it is used.
Now that Confucius told his old man to suddenly recite this poem, what does it mean?
But he saw Confucius stroking his beard and said: "The old man heard that the price of Yuyao immortal tea has soared, and it is related to this poem. Since then, the poem has spread in the Shilin circle of Zhejiang Province, and the price of Yuyao Xianming has increased several times in a row. ”
After a pause, Confucius continued: "You wrote this poem? ”
Xie Shen was helpless in his heart, it was all up to this, what else could he do?
"Back to the teacher, this is indeed a student's clumsy work, which makes the teacher smile."
Confucius smiled noncommittally and motioned for Xie Shen to put the tea leaves on the bookcase.
"Actually, the old man didn't come to you for anything else, but to hope that you could put more thought into your studies. There will be a scientific examination in August this year, and you are the leader of Yuyao's students, so you must set an example. ”
After speaking, Confucius took out a thick scroll, nodded on it, and said: "These are all articles written by the old man on weekdays, you can take them and take a look." ”
Xie Shen was overjoyed when he heard this.
Although the nominal presiding officer of the examination is the Grand Master, sometimes the Grand Master will also ask the Sect to provide some advice.
As for grading, it is naturally a matter of county schooling.
There are so many papers in the scientific exam, and it is impossible for the great master to read them one by one.
In this way, doesn't it mean that Confucianism is the most crucial figure in the scientific examination?
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. There is a strong emotional overtone to this kind of thing.
The so-called each flower into its own eyes, and if you can't write an article that tastes the examiner, it is useless to be brilliant.
The fact that Confucius gave Xie Shen the article he had written was an obvious hint - you kid don't bother with anything else, just write it in the style of the old man!
In other words, Confucius is still a little worried about the level of Xie Shen's articles.
This can't be blamed on Xie Shen, although he was also a high-achieving student in his previous life, but after all, the people who competed with him on the same stage were all natives of the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with poetry, Xie Shen can still straighten his waist and chant a sentence Lao Tzu did not embarrass the traverser, but compared to Shi Wen, Xie Shen has to mutter in his heart.
It's easy to say if you meet a familiar part of him, but it's really difficult to do if it's unfamiliar.
He has the basic level of Baguwen, but it is obviously not enough to cope with the scientific examination, the township examination, and the general examination.
It was precisely when Confucius saw this that he gave his article to Xie Shen and told him to settle on a style as soon as possible.
After the style is decided, it is to add meat, this Confucian edict can't help Xie Shen, so he can only rely on Xie Shen to make up for it.
At least as far as the immediate examination is concerned, it is most beneficial to imitate the style of the Confucian teachings.
Xie Shen hurriedly punched the Confucian Sect and said, "Thank you for your advice!" ”
Confucius waved his hand and said: "You don't want to thank the old man, the old man just thinks that you are excellent in writing, and he doesn't want to have a pearl in the dust." ”
The competition in the township examination is fierce, and it is difficult for those who have not taken the examination to understand.
But Confucius is a person who has come over, and he is very clear about Xie Shen's strengths and weaknesses, so he has this remark.
Facing the guidance of his mentor, Xie Shen naturally had to keep it in mind
"Students must study the masterpiece's masterpiece and fight for Yuyao!"
Confucius nodded with satisfaction.
Young people should look like young people, if all of them are teenagers and old adults, what is the meaning of being submissive.
The so-called young mania is a positive and enterprising performance.
If you don't even dare to be crazy, your basic future will be worrying.
But madness also has to have a degree, and there are really not many young people like Xie Shen who know how to advance and retreat now.
"Since you have time today, you can also come to see how the old man copied this sunny post when the snow is fast."
The literati of the Ming Dynasty loved to post posts, and Xie Shen knew this.
But he didn't expect that Confucius also had this hobby.
As the Confucian edict bypassed the screen and came to another table, the young man was stunned. I saw that the walls were full of calligraphy, and there were also a lot of landscape paintings from time to time.
It is said that Confucianism's edict is to send love to the mountains and rivers without a heart, and it seems to be true.
Wang Youjun's fast snow is naturally the object of countless literati competing to copy, and it seems that Confucianism's edicts are also among them.
Xie Shen looked at the unfolded short scroll and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The essence of fast snow and sunny weather lies in the hidden front. The pen and the pen have been carefully processed, which can be described as not showing the edge.
The Confucian edict obviously has a deep understanding of the essence of it, and the post that comes out not only resembles but also looks like the true work of Wang Youjun.
"The teacher writes like a god, and the students admire it!"
Calligraphy is really not something that ordinary people can practice.
Xie Shen's handy writing is not bad, but it is nothing compared to Confucius's teachings.
Fortunately, the pursuit of writing articles in the imperial examination is clear handwriting, and everything else is irrelevant.
In addition, Xie Shen also has a good thin gold body, even if he mixes into the circle of ministers in the future, it will be barely enough. After all, there will be people who come to ask for Mobao at every turn.
But this did not prevent Xie Shen from admiring Confucius. Being able to control the flying white body so well, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.
Thinking of this, Xie Shen suddenly had an idea, but he didn't know whether to tell Confucius or not.
