Changsha city south of the wonderful peak, this mountain rises from the ground, although only more than 20 zhang, but in the east bank of the Xiangjiang River towering toweringly, is the highest place on the plain on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. Several miles from north to south, the mountains and forests are dense, the ancient trees are growing, the towering clouds are on the surface, the river is in the ring, the mountains are lined up, it is the first wonder in the south of Changsha City. At this time, Changsha has no wonderful peaks, and there is no smoke from the battlefield where the Japanese invaded Changsha four times, and only the lonely alleys under the high-rise buildings remain.

Xiao Yungui was a little emotional when he revisited here, he had a female netizen who studied at Hunan No. 1 Normal School in the past, and he also went to his girlfriend's school to play. His girlfriend told him about the history of Hunan No. 1 Normal School, the predecessor of Hunan No. 1 Normal was the Changsha Chengnan Academy, and Chairman Mao also studied at Hunan No. 1 Normal when he was young. His girlfriend also told many allusions to Chengnan Academy, but at that time, Xiao Yungui only cared about the beautiful woman in his arms, and he didn't remember the details of what his girlfriend said, but he still remembered the place names such as Miao Gaofeng and Chengnan Academy.

Walking on the mountain road paved with granite slabs, surrounded by lush beauty, Xiao Yungui sighed and said: "This place is really an outstanding person, since Mr. Zuo is revisiting the old place, there are many wonderful scenes here, why not explain one or two for this king?" ”

Zuo Zongtang snorted and said unceremoniously: "The King of the West was born recklessly, will he have such a Yaxing?" ”

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and said with a smile: "Chengnan Academy is so famous here, this king has heard of it in the city, it is as famous as Xiangzuo Yuelu Academy, it is said that many famous people in the Hunan literary world are from these two academies, this king has long wanted to come and see, today I have the opportunity, and there are people like Mr. Zuo who are familiar with the affairs of the academy by his side, of course, he must be vassal." Xiao Yungui didn't really want to listen to Zuo Zongtang talk about the history of the academy, he just wanted Zuo Zongtang to have something to boast about, and he would praise a few words casually, so that Zuo Zongtang felt a lot of face. Since ancient times, literati have good faces, Xiao Yungui plans to do what he likes, and has the heart to make friends with Zuo Zongtang again.

After Zuo Zongtang heard this, he really smiled and said: "It's rare that the King of the West respects the academy, so Zuo will talk about it." At that moment, Zuo Zongtang slowed down with his hand, and said slowly: "This Chengnan Academy was originally the residence of Zhang Jun, the father of the great Confucian Zhang Yan in the Song Dynasty, in Tanzhou. At that time, the Chengnan Academy, named the Academy, was actually a private garden, and Zhang Jun and his son carefully created ten views of the south of the city. Lize Hall, Book Building, Yangmeng Xuan, Moon Pavilion, Cirrus Cloud Pavilion. Poetry clouds: the victory of the pavilion, the victory of the pavilion, the green bamboo and the yin of the moon and the valley of Congzheng, the overlapping Nanfu of Gaoqiu, and the lake of a pond like a blue lake; Nahu Lake in the middle of the boat and Cai Ling boat. ”

Xiao Yungui exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Zhang Jun still has such a beautiful scenery here. ”

Zuo Zongtang smiled and said: "No, Song Chunxi, Zhang Yan was called as a member of the Ministry of Officials, and when he left Changsha, the ten scenes were gradually deserted. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Cangran Temple on Nanfu was changed to the Gaofeng Temple, but the four-character plaque of Zhang Jun's handwritten Chengnan Academy was still retained in the temple. During the Ming Zhengde period, Wu Shizhong, the senator of Huguang Province, and Fengwu of Hunan Province had sought to restore the Chengnan Academy in Miaofengfeng, but this place had been based on the Ji Domain, and it was not until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty that the Changsha Mansion pushed the official Zhai Tai to build five schools under the Gaofeng Temple, and it was restored during the Wanli period. In the fifty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty of this dynasty, Li Wenjiong, the head of Yuelu Academy, wrote a poem "Huai Zhang Jun's Former Residence", which is now the Chengnan Academy. Poetry: Yuanchen Yamiao counts, and fights against the book. Shu Road An Panshi, Pingjiang recently car. The pavilions are fragrant and grassy, and the ponds and marshes are white and sparse. The string chanting leaves a legacy. Inherit the family and look up to Confucianism. ”

Xiao Yungui sighed and said: "It turns out that these ten scenes have been deserted, and there are only five schools, and this Chengnan Academy is really a pity." ”

Zuo Zongtang smiled again: "This is not true, the beautiful scenery is deserted, naturally someone will recover, the school is insufficient, and naturally someone will expand." In the tenth year of Qianlong in this dynasty, Yang Xifu served as the governor of Hunan, and at the beginning of getting off the car, Yang Futai went to Yuelu Academy to try to give birth to children, however, there were few children Liao Liao who came to take the exam, and asked why, only because Changsha City to Yuelu Academy encountered a little wind and waves across the Xiangjiang River, and the scholars were afraid to move forward. Yang Futai decided to move the students of Yuelu to study in the city on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. It happened that one of the Metropolitan Yamen Empty Office was found in Duzheng Street, so it was converted into a academy, because the academy was in the southern corner of the city. It is called Seongnam Academy. This move is very popular, the division, the road, the guard, the pastoral officials have donated to raise the silver, the calendar month completed the study house 80 rooms, divided into the friendship, the main respect, into the virtue, the sincerity, the house, the Ming Tao six fasts, and imitate the Yuelu book plaque hanging lecture hall. Huang Ningdao, the prefect of Yuezhou, donated to build the Imperial Library in the south corner of the academy. Zhu Xi, Zhang Yan and the sages of the Meritorious Academy. Since then, His Excellency Tianxin has been chanting. ”…,

Xiao Yungui said curiously: "According to what Mr. Zuo said, shouldn't Chengnan Academy be in the city?" How can it be at the peak of Miaofeng? ”

Zuo Zongtang twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Zuo Mou's words have not been finished, in the second year of Daoguang, the governor of Hunan, Zuo Gongfu arrived, and Zuo Gong only felt that His Excellency Tianxin's Chengnan Academy was close to Shanhua County, the city was noisy, and the students were allowed to retreat, so the Chengnan Academy was relocated from His Excellency Tianxin to the wonderful peak of the founding more than 600 years ago. The restored Seongnam Academy restored the "Ten Scenes". During the Daoguang period, Jinshi and Yunnan-Guizhou Governor Lao Chongguang's "Chengnan Academy Fu" has ten scenes. Fu said: The grass is looping, and the mountains and rivers are lingering; Nahu Lake is for it to trace, and Gaofu is for its attention. The visit to the old is based on the moon pavilion, and the shadow of the dangerous column is still there; Knocking on the cloud pavilion, the hidden chant can be continued. The name of the boat listens to the rain, and the idle and soft rise of three drafts; The boat is full of Ling, slow down a new song, open half an acre, raise Mengdi I am smart and stand three rafters, and Lize becomes my knowledge. Looking at the color of the red waves, the spirit of Xiaoxiang is as beautiful as new; Yang Shengyu Xianguan, the origin of Minluo is near. ”

Xiao Yungui listened to Zuo Zongtang's narration, stood in the mountain road, and took a closer look at the beautiful scenery here, which was indeed refreshing, looking at Zuo Zongtang and suddenly smiled: "This Zuo Fu will not be Mr. Zuo's relative." ”

Zuo Zongtang's face was stunned, and he snorted: "It's just my own family, Zuo Fugong and Zai are not relatives." ”

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled: "Just kidding." ”

The two walked side by side in front of everyone, talking and laughing, Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang and others followed behind, listening to the two answers, Lin Fengxiang frowned and said: "How can His Royal Highness the King of the West respect this teaching gentleman?" Li Kaifang smiled and said in a low voice: "I see that this teacher has some skills. Lin Fengxiang sighed and asked, "Where can I see that I have the ability?" Li Kaifang smiled and said: "Our King of the West is so capable and polite to him, will he have no ability?" Lin Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "You can really say this mouth." ”

While speaking, he had already arrived in front of the mountain gate of Chengnan Academy, and saw a pair of couplets written on the pillars of the mountain gate: "This is the only person who does not enter the sainthood, so he will be crazy, and it is difficult to stand in the middle; Learning must be learned, the time has passed, and now is waiting, when will you turn back. ”

Xiao Yungui stood with his hands in his hands, waved his cloak, pretended to be gentle and chic, raised his head and read the couplet aloud, but he didn't expect the ancients to write from right to left, but he was used to reading from left to right, becoming the lower couplet in front and the upper couplet in the back, which made the sound of the upper and lower couplets upside down.

Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but burst out laughing, Xiao Yungui glanced at him, although these words were all traditional characters, he still recognized them, and said strangely: "Could it be that this king has mispronounced the words?" ”

Zuo Zongtang smiled slightly: "The words are not mispronounced, but they are just upside down." ”

Xiao Yungui's old face turned red, and he coughed lightly and said, "It turns out that I should start reading from the right, this king doesn't read much, but it makes Mr. Zuo laugh." ”

Zuo Zongtang shook his head and said: "This couplet also pays attention to the rhythm of peace, the king of the west comes from a humble background, and it is not surprising that he doesn't know, but does the king of the west know the meaning of this couplet?" ”

Xiao Yungui sighed, although he studied liberal arts in college, he didn't like poetry and songs, and he couldn't understand the meaning of this couplet.

Just as he was talking, a soft and familiar voice floated over: "This couplet is deeply philosophical, the upper link talks about being a man, and the lower link talks about learning, persuading people not to be reluctant and stealing peace." ”

The sound followed the people, only to see a female general of the Taiping Army with a yellow scarf on her head, standing in front of the two of them, Xiao Yungui was slightly surprised, this female general is as delicate as a flower, but she is her own cheap wife, the flower of Taiping, Hong Xuanjiao.

Zuo Zongtang was also slightly surprised, he didn't expect that a female general of the Taiping Army could recognize the true meaning of this couplet, and said slightly: "Does this female general know who made this couplet?" ”…,

Hong Xuanjiao smiled slightly: "This couplet is the work of Lu Kun, a lone man in the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xinwu is upright and honest, and he and Shen Li and Guo Zhengyu are known as the three sages in the world during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zuo Zongtang nodded, and arched his hand: "The female general is heroic, I didn't expect that she would be rich and rich, Zuo admired." "You must know that there are not many literate people in these years, and women who can read are even rarer, and the woman who can tell the origin of this couplet can of course be called a rich man.

Xiao Yungui's face was triumphant, and he walked to Hong Xuanjiao's side and stood side by side with her, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zuo, introduce you two to you, this is the king's wife, Hong." Madam, this is Mr. Zuo Zongtang, a famous man in Hunan Province. ”

Hong Xuanjiao and Zuo Zongtang were taken aback together, Hong Xuanjiao didn't expect that the person in front of him who looked like a teacher would be Zuo Zongtang, one of the four famous ministers of Wanqing, and Zuo Zongtang was surprised that this woman turned out to be Xiao Yungui's wife.

I saw Xiao Yungui and Hong Xuanjiao standing side by side, one with a rude face, the other with a soft and beautiful appearance, it was really a difference between cloud and mud, Zuo Zongtang sighed slightly, it was really a flower inserted into cow dung.

Xiao Yungui asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" He had the boss's suspicion in his heart, why did Hong Xuanjiao suddenly become knowledgeable? It seems that he knows much more than he does in later generations.

Hong Xuanjiao glanced at him and said, "It's okay left and right, come out and have a look." Ignoring Xiao Yungui's puzzled gaze, he walked straight forward.
