"The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a miracle building, and the miracle is not the tower itself, but the miracle is that it has experienced and witnessed thousands of years of Chinese cultural history. ――――Excerpt from "The Ruins of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda"

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a cultural treasure in Chinese history, and it is also a world cultural heritage, a national key cultural relics protection unit, and a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. Located in the Great Ci'en Temple in Chang'an City, it is regarded as a symbol of the ancient capital of Chang'an and Shaanxi Province.

According to the survey of the Ministry of Culture of China and the World History UNESCO, in Chinese history, since the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system has been produced from the beginning to the end of the Tang Dynasty, from the Tang Dynasty to the Chinese Empire, a total of 638 champions have been produced, of which 621 people have left their own ink treasures on the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, more than 40,000 Jinshi have also left their names on this pagoda.

This pagoda, from a thousand years ago, has been standing to the present, in which the Chinese history experienced by this pagoda can be said to be a history book of China's national development.

In the first imperial examination that began during the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the first champion in China was the fifth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, and the champion of the Renwu branch was Sun Fujia. The last champion is the Republic of Tang, Liu Chunlin of Jiachenke.

From the first champion to the end of the last champion, the name engraved on this tower faithfully records the development of China's entire historical era bit by bit.

The imperial examination system has selected a large number of outstanding talents with real ability and practical learning to govern the country and secure the country, and constitute the backbone of the ruling clique from the central to the local bureaucracy. But then came a kind of historical spectacle: the champions were named after their writings, and there were very few people who had high achievements in literature and art, and few people entered the ranks of everyone. They are champions. Poetry and lyrics. Everything. There are often poems and books handed down, and some even have books. However, since high school, the vast majority of them have devoted themselves to their careers, have no intention of writing, are keen on officialdom, focus on the gains and losses of wealth and wealth, and have no intention or ability to persistently explore literature and art.

Among the more than 600 champions. Except for Yang Shen, Liu Gongquan and a few others who have achieved high achievements, most of them have mediocre literary achievements and are difficult to pass on for thousands of years, which has also become a mystery that is difficult for future generations to explain.

But despite this, there are still many strange people among these champions, such as Luo Binwang, the champion of Zhenguan for ten years, the champion of high school at the age of sixteen, on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, "If life is not young, the youngest of the sixteen" is full of innocent joy.

There is also Yang Shen, the champion of the Tang Mingzong period, "Young police sensitive." At the age of eleven, he was able to write poems, and at the age of twelve, he planned to write "Ancient Battlefield Texts" and "Treatise on the Passing of Qin". Thirteen-year-old poems are full of Jinghua, and were accepted as high feet by the leader of the poetry circle Li Dongyang, at the age of nineteen, at the age of twenty-four, he became the first champion of Sichuan since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. This kind of heroic writing.

When we walk into the Temple of Mercy and Grace, it is like a time and space journey on the tower, every qiē here is exactly the same as a thousand years ago, but the towering pine and cypress has been thousands of years old, and not far from the huge pine and cypress, there is a towering building, that is, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Because the Temple of Mercy and Grace was built by the Tang Dynasty Emperor Xuanzang for the return of Tang Xuanzang from the Western Regions, it has a prominent status and grand scale that other temples cannot match. It is composed of thirteen courtyards, in the temple, there are bells, drum towers to confront each other, and the main building of the central axis is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Xuanzang Sanzang Temple. The bell tower hangs an iron bell of the Ming Dynasty, weighs 30,000 catties, and is cast with the words "Morning Bell of the Wild Goose Tower".

Tang Xuanzang in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, entered the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to retreat the righteous books, placed many scriptures, Buddha statues, and relics he brought back from the Western Regions, this Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built by him personally, until today, we can still see the four words "Xuanzang supervised the construction" on the stone tablet at the entrance of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which makes people sigh that the life of the people in the Tang Dynasty seems to be like in front of the eyes of modern people.

Stepping into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, we can see the wall is carved full of words, these are the poems and songs carved by the Jinshi of the past dynasties, which show the social characteristics of their times, personal life and ambition, standing in front of these inscriptions, as if talking to the ancients thousands of years ago, making people sigh that time flows, thousands of years of time is changeable, and the changes between the stars also let us appreciate the style of the ancients.

Professor Cai Yuanpei of Nanshan Academy once made a rubbing of all the words on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda during the Tang Dynasty and the Republic of China, and kept all the photos, compiled in the book "The Remains of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda", which profoundly analyzed the psychological changes of the champions and scholars of the Chinese dynasties, so as to deduce the social environment, and is a textbook-style book with great research value.

In 1402 of the Tang calendar, UNESCO also included it in the "100 Classic Books of the World......

The small pine tree in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was a little bad transplanted, Xu Yang always felt that the tree was planted crookedly, how awkward the little pine tree looked, but Xiao Wu and Xiao Di didn't care at all, today it was hard to persuade the master to take them to the Great Ci'en Temple to see the Wild Goose Pagoda, this kind of good opportunity, they will not waste a minute or a second of time.

"Master, my husband said that you want to transfer him to the news department of Nanshan Academy as the news editor-in-chief, what kind of job is this, how can I let my husband participate in the imperial examination and have a future." Ci'en Temple is very large, Xiao Wu does not believe in Buddhism, Xiao Di does not believe in Buddhism, Xu Yang does not believe in Buddhism, the three of them are purely here to play today, Xiao Wu walked towards Xu Yang.

"One mouthful, one husband, this marriage is really different, and the elbows will be turned outward." Xu Yang also said with a smile.

"Oh~ Where is it, master!" Xiao Wu hurriedly explained. But some reddened faces betrayed the truth in her heart.

Sixteen-year-old Di Renjie was more calm, turned his head to Wu Zhao and whispered: "Don't say more to the master, I listen to the master's orders, the master said that I am not suitable for officialdom, I also think what the master said is very reasonable, and it sounds quite interesting to be the editor-in-chief of the news." ”

Xu Yang nodded, "Xiao Di's personality is a little too upright, jealous and hateful, if you become an official, it is easy to offend people, but his character is very suitable for being a journalist, seeking truth from facts, and never false reports, which is really a rare quality in my Datang now, and the teacher now sees that the editorial department of the academy is now publishing more and more exaggerated news in the "Datang News", which cannot be said to be their mistakes, after all, exaggeration can attract people's attention, but such reports lose the authenticity of the newsFor example, the wild goose pagoda in front of me, the latest issue of "Datang News" actually reported that on the day the pagoda was built, there was a glow rising into the sky, and there were Buddha statues appearing in the sky, this kind of false report, I have reacted like the editor-in-chief of Ma Zhou, but there seems to be no response over there, I am very disappointed, so I plan to let Xiao Di enter the news newspaper of Nanshan Academy, exercise for a few years, and then I hope I can see a new news newspaper editorial department. ”

After listening to Xu Yang's words, Di Renjie also nodded heavily, "The disciple will follow the master's teachings, and the disciple will also try his best to change the news newspaper's reporting of false news." ”

Newspapers are mouthpieces, Xu Yang does not want a national newspaper to become more and more entertaining, although Chang'an is now full of newspapers, but Xu Yang still hopes that there can be a newspaper that adheres to the bottom line and justice, and does not report false news, especially "Datang News", which has become a national newspaper of Datang.

"Master, master, since you arranged your husband into the newspaper office of Nanshan Academy, what about me?" Although Xiao Wu, this girl, is married, she still looks like she is very arrogant, thinking of what to say, so Xu Yang often has a headache.

"You are a girl's family, don't you just teach your husband and children at home......" Xu Yang prevaricated.

"No!" Wu Zhao was not happy, "Master, the homeless squad in Chang'an is managed by me for the master, if you want to talk about the timeliness of the news, I can definitely help my husband!" That's why I'm going to join the newspaper office of Nanshan Academy! ”…… (To be continued......)
