Chapter Ninety-Eight: Righteous Brother
"Kindergarten Qionglin" is a good book, and it is said that Mao Taizu can still recite it fluently in his old age.
Since the publication of this book, it has quickly been regarded as an important enlightenment reading, and the folk so-called: reading "Zengguang" can speak, and reading "Qionglin" can read.
Of course, "Zengguang Xianwen" has not yet been written.
Compared with the collection of folk wisdom in "Zengguang Xianwen", Xu Yuanzuo attaches more importance to "Kindergarten Qionglin". This book is all written in the Chinese style, which is very good for cultivating a sense of language. Even if a person who doesn't write an essay pays attention to the sense of language in his speech, it will make people look up to him, at least he won't think that this person is vulgar.
Second, it's not just about teaching. Because the predecessor is "Idiom Test", it can be seen that the content is mostly allusions, and it is in the form of teaching examples to enrich a person's knowledge reserve as quickly as possible.
In addition, you can also learn about the sages and celebrities of the past dynasties, astronomy and geography, rules and regulations, customs and etiquette, birth, old age, sickness and death, weddings and funerals, birds, beasts, flowers and trees, court literature and military, eating and drinking utensils, palace treasures, literature and affairs, and many other aspects. There are also many aphorisms in the book, which have been recited for hundreds of years.
This is more like a general manual of social knowledge, so that teenagers can have an understanding of society before they leave society, and it is also a crash course for improving their qualifications.
Xu Yuanzuo suspected that for a long time in the future, he would only have these teenagers at the level of "fifth and sixth grade elementary school". And "Kindergarten Qionglin" can cultivate a group of talents who are almost at the level of junior high and high school - many allusions and famous sentences in this book are indeed the knowledge points in the Chinese paper of the college entrance examination.
The whole book of "Kindergarten Qionglin" is only more than 21,000 words, as Xu Yuanzuo, who was born as a liberal arts tyrant, can he write down this set of "Kindergarten Qionglin" silently?
If you can silence the whole text, there will be ghosts!
Mao Taizu was still able to recite in his later years, because this was what people memorized when they were young, and the so-called Tongzigong is also.
Xu Yuanzuo was also a child when he memorized this, but it was only used as an enlightenment reading, and there was no imperial examination to be examined. I first went through "Kindergarten Qionglin", the purpose is to lay a foundation for reading the following books. What's more, this book is a general quotation style of the Analects, and the context is completely unconnected, and a few sentences are missed or misplaced, and it cannot be checked out.
But who's to say it has to be exactly like the original? The main theme of righteousness is not lost, and with a slight addition, the effect can be achieved!
Xu Yuanzuo paid attention and decided to attribute this set of best-selling masterpieces to his name.
Thinking that I finally have the opportunity to embark on the road of copying the public, I am still a little excited in my heart!
So, this Spring Festival holiday finally has something to do.
Xu Yuanzuo entertained others for New Year's greetings, and from the third day of the new year, he went to the big family in Zhuli and Lu Fuzi's house to pay New Year's greetings. In the end, his family's foundation is unstable, and he is trying to squeeze into Hechun Hall to be the leader, so he is still humble, lest people think he is arrogant and don't take him to play.
It is this low-key and humble attitude that makes the seniors have a good impression of him, and they have entrusted him to ask his father Xu Fan how he is well, and at the same time invite him to Hechun Hall on the fifth day of the first month to participate in the internal gathering to welcome the God of Wealth.
Xu Yuanzuo originally expected this kind of internal gathering to have some inside information, but who knew that the pattern of the crowd was too low, and there was no high-level business discussion such as internal pricing, it was all about talking about some short nonsense in the parents, and they went home after eating refreshments. However, it was this small gathering that allowed Xu Yuanzuo to get to know the head and brain of He Chuntang, and he suddenly realized that the little Zhu Li turned out to be the final say of the six families.
After breaking five, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival was slightly weaker. Xu Yuanzuo went to the county town, paid New Year's greetings to Xu Cheng, and kowtowed to Xu Fan - he is also his father. It's just that I didn't see Xu Jie, which is quite a pity. This may be the sequelae of Xu Yuanzuo's choice to recognize his "father-in-law" instead of "father" that day, Xu Ge always plays with the emperor and the empire in the palm of his hand, you are a little guy and you are still bargaining with me, how can you do it without giving a little face?
With such a clear thought, Xu Yuanzuo did not force it, and rushed back to Zhuli that day and started his great cause of copying the public.
Speaking of which, the profession of copyist is not so easy to do. Words are the embodiment of a person's heart, and they are also the embodiment of ideas. Jin Yi Yushi can't write "Dream of Red Mansions", and the prince and grandson can't write "Water Margin". If Li Yu hadn't been a prisoner, where would he have made "Breaking the Array"?
It's not that Xu Yuanzuo can't recite the words of Nalan Xingde, but what about reciting it? No one would believe that he did it. This doesn't need to be examined at all, just look at the person's usual speech style, and you can see it when you get there.
Therefore, "Kindergarten Qionglin" is good on this, there is no gorgeous literary algae, no cold allusions, and no profound philosophical speculation. It can be seen as a well-read but not proficient reader, taking notes in addition to reading. As for life experience, it has never been touched on at all.
So the title of the book was changed to "Kindergarten Transcription".
Xu Yuanzuo first wrote down the things he remembered in his head, not to mention the content and text, and even the style and volume were a little incomplete. He clearly remembered that this book was four volumes and thirty-three chapters, from astronomy and earth, the imperial court when he was old, to the Buddha's ghosts, gods, birds, beasts, flowers and trees, but he only remembered thirty chapters in his mind, and three chapters did not remember what they were at all.
The teacher was unfavorable, Xu Yuanzuo was quite shocked, and when he filled in the blanks for the remaining thirty chapters and wrote them out silently, it took ten days and only got more than 10,000 words.
Thinking about the book he memorized several times decades ago, he still remembered half of it, Xu Yuanzuo was quite complacent. This self-satisfaction has been diluted even with the joy of the Shangyuan Festival.
When his sister and brother went to the street to watch the lights, he was still at home writing books, filling them in, and even on the boat back to Xia Wei, he still kept pondering, and from time to time used charcoal to record the sentences he had picked up on the wooden board.
It is this kind of tireless work, and by the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, Xu Yuanzuo has already silently uttered 17,800 words, which is already a grand spectacle.
It is in response to the old saying that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
originally thought that no one would come back in the off-season of the first month, but who knew that Xu Fan actually invited Zheng Yue, the magistrate of the county, to take a group of Qingke to the garden to enjoy the snow and flowers.
Everyone sat separately in the warm pavilion, and at this time, Xu Yuanzuo was not only a partner of the Xu family, but also Xu Fan's righteous son, who was obliged to hold a pot and pour wine and serve on the side. Serving everyone with him was a young man with red lips and white teeth, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was: demure like a flower shining on water, and his actions were like the wind supporting a willow.
It is Xu Fan's son-in-law Xu Yuanchun.
Xu Yuanzuo saw Xu Yuanchun for the first time, but he was stunned in his heart, and said secretly: The three generations of the Xu family's poetry and ceremony, sure enough, there is a pseudo-mother! Not only is the image soft, but it also comes with background music: Sister Lin fell from the sky, like a light cloud just coming out!
With this appearance, the style of the whole book has changed!
Xu Yuanchun had also heard of Xu Yuanzuo's name a long time ago, and he was not very happy to see it, especially thinking: My father already has a son-in-law, why bother to collect moths? What's more, Ben Shao is self-motivated and has a promising future, but this righteous brother is the son of a businessman, who is obsessed with business and stubbornness......
Since Xu Yuanzuo came to Daming, he has not exercised, and he only has a diet nutritious meal to eat, and at this time, his fat is gone, and his muscles are smooth. It is lean but not thin, strong but not strong, especially full of energy and full of energy.
Xu Yuanchun saw the real person at this moment, and when he saw him with such a physical appearance, he couldn't help but change his mind, and secretly praised: It's just that he is reckless and frivolous in his belly, but it turns out that his bones are strange and not vulgar.
