"Three Songs of Remembering Jiangnan"

- Bai Juyi

The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old; The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan?

Jiangnan recalls, the most remembered is Hangzhou; Looking for Guizi in the middle of the month in the mountain temple, the county pavilion pillow looks at the tide. When will I visit again!

Jiangnan recalls, followed by Wu Palace; Wu wine a cup of spring bamboo leaves, Wu Wa double dance drunk hibiscus. Meet again sooner or later!

……

The great sage of the Tang Dynasty, Mr. Zui Yin, once wrote "Three Songs of Remembering the South of the Yangtze River", which attracted countless literati and students, and Suzhou and Hangzhou became the best choice for literati and ink writers to write poems and send their feelings to the landscape.

And Jiangnan recalls, the most memorable is Hangzhou.

There are many poems to describe Hangzhou, countless, within Hangzhou, and belong to the West Lake, the most famous ten scenes of the West Lake are: Spring Dawn at Su Causeway, Remnant Snow on the Broken Bridge, Wind Lotus in the Quyuan, Fish in the Flower Harbor, Oriole in the Willow Waves, Sunset on Leifeng, Moon in Three Pools, Autumn Moon in Pinghu, Twin Peaks in the Clouds, Nanping Evening Bell.

And today's Hangzhou, in addition to the West Lake, Qiantang River, Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams, etc., has another scene, which is the poetry conference held by the Egret Academy once a year in the "Egret Wenyuan".

The reason why the Egret Garden can become a scene in Hangzhou is because of its grand scale, the large number of participants, the beauty of the scenery of the Wenyuan and the champion word hanging on the top of the Egret Peak every year.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the various factions within Hangzhou.

Hangzhou is not like Suzhou, there is a clear division of the city, but the land will always be divided into north and south, the Egret Academy will steadily occupy a large area in the southwest of Hangzhou, that is, the generation around the West Lake, all kinds of academies, Wenwu Academy rose from the ground, built in the beautiful place of the West Lake, the place of small bridges and flowing water, of course, in order to attract more people to come to worship under the Egret Academy.

With the advantage of geographical advantages, and under the banner of teaching and educating people, the most attractive thing is naturally a large number of trialists, but they rarely enter the upper echelons of the Egret Academy, because the Nine Great Masters don't like trialists.

They had thought that Egret Academy would become the cleanest and most ideal land for the aborigines, a literary home free from the invasions of trialists.

It's just that in recent years, with the changes and development of the times, there have been disagreements within the Egret Academy, there are always people who can't stand the temptation of the world, this temptation is never heard of, and it is also brought to them by the trialists, maybe in the world of science and technology, it can be made into a TV series, called "The Temptation of Power", or written into a book - "The Counterattack of the Little Scholar".

What the trialists know, hundreds of years before and after the novel gadgets, always can't listen to it, can't finish writing, the influx of trendy ideas, so that this group of scholars have a kind of hallucination, scholars can also play like this?

Can you put the girl? Can you be a troll? Can you lash out without being responsible for the consequences? Can they even preach their own ideas like Buddhism and Taoism and lead believers to resist tyranny?

Of course, the words of the sister, they are all listening to the trialists, this is just one of them, the testers' knowledge and word of mouth, as if opening the door to a new world, try to ask which scholar is not with a big dream, before it was self-cultivation Qi family rule the country and the world, now it is different, they feel that they can turn over and be the master!

The awakening of scholars is different, if a literate person wants to rebel, it is much more clever and insidious than the peasant uprisings of previous dynasties.

The world is not a family world, the emperor takes turns to do it, and whoever does it knows.

But after all, this kind of trendy thinking has not been fully popularized, and not everyone can accept it, and the idea of loyalty to the monarch that has been ingrained for thousands of years is not so easy to eradicate, especially most scholars who admit to death. Because of this, Egret Academy has developed into what it is now, saying that it is a college but not teaching and educating people well, dancing with guns and sticks all day long, and ganging up everywhere is ambitious; It is said that it is a sect of rivers and lakes, but it is still a little bit worse than the taste of rivers and lakes. It's made into a four-like.

In fact, this is essentially the same as the situation of the Southern Beggars Gang, both of which are the impact of the trialists on the world, and the economic interests affect the beggars and ordinary people, and the influence of the new trend of thought is naturally the literati and scholars.

To put it bluntly, the economic and cultural influence brought by the trialists is reflected in all aspects and fields, but ordinary people are more affected by the economy, while the literati are more affected by culture.

All in all, the influence that the trialists brought to the cultivation world was originally a trend that led to benign development, but the trialists were too different from the aborigines in terms of their way of doing things and thinking.

The changes in Suzhou South City and Yangzhou West City are essentially to slow down and ease down the drastic changes in the cultivation world, and slowly digest the influence brought to them by the trialists, so as to move towards a correct but stable development trajectory. In Hangzhou, there is no such conscientious trialist to initiate transformation activities.

……

Speaking of Hangzhou, of course, in addition to the Egret Academy, there are still many other forces in Hangzhou. The local aboriginal forces, the most famous are nothing more than Lingyin Temple and Jingci Temple, Buddhism, generally do not compete for fame and fortune, but have cultivated themselves to live the world, so they generally do not participate in the battle in Hangzhou.

In the north and east of the city, there is no such good scenery and reputation, occupied by the forces of the trialists, and there is no decent leader, and a plate of scattered sand is not worth mentioning.

The Star Department of the Freedom Army is also one of these scattered sands, but in the past two years, it has slowly faded out of Hangzhou's field of vision, and has mingled with the Viper Legion, the True Love Legion, and the Hate Legion stationed at various swings leading to Suzhou outside the city, and no longer participates in the battle in Hangzhou.

In September this year, it is time for the Egret Wenyuan to shine, this month is also called the "Cultural and Educational Month" by the people of Hangzhou, fortunately, the fire caught up with the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers in July and summer, and caught up with the grand cultural and entertainment feast in September.

Of course, in Huo'er's heart, she will never have enough fun, the most regrettable thing is Hangzhou in the spring, she didn't appreciate it, and the broken bridge and remnant snow in the winter must have a different flavor, but it still has to see God's face, if it is too late, she will rush back to the Five Poisons Sect to participate in the ninth intra-sect martial arts competition.

Regret is regret, she still gained a lot from this trip, Hangzhou has almost been visited, and only the Egret Wenyuan in front of her is left.

The gardens of various scenic spots are crowded, rubbing shoulders, and there are all kinds of scholarly hats that cannot be seen at a glance, and groups of them flock to the Egret Garden, just waiting for a poem, which amazes the audience, is a blockbuster, and has soared into the sky since then.

In a small study house next to the Wenyuan, it was also crowded with people, but it was still possible to vacate a little space for everyone to sit. At a teaching desk in the corner of the study, there was also a group of scholars, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, tea and snacks on the table, but these scholars were high-spirited, pointing at the country and scolding Fang Xuan, looking very harmonious.

After a while, several people quarreled because of disagreement.

"Brother Wen, I don't know which ancestor you are?" One of the young men in a green hat asked with a fake hand.

"How? I can't argue with my talent, but you want to put forward the name of a teacher to pressure me? The scholar named Wen Ruolan had his nostrils facing the sky and flicked his sleeves disdainfully.

"What? I don't dare to mention the teacher's name, because I'm afraid of being embarrassed when I say it, right? The scholar in the green hat sneered, and insisted on comparing their respective teachers.

Among the three people watching the play, there was a cold and resolute young man who did not disdain to compete with these two, and after listening to such a superficial conversation between the two, he shook his head and ate flower and fruit snacks instead.

There is also one person, thin figure, vermilion hat, especially conspicuous among the five, seeing that the two are noisy, it is not a big deal to see the excitement, while snorting melon seeds while waving the flag and shouting: "I support...... Bah...... Support Brother Liu Yuan...... Phew...... Teacher, it's not a secret that can't be said...... Phew......"

The last scholar named Wen Shiyong sighed and hurriedly dissuaded: "It's all a battle of will, why make the atmosphere so stiff......

"Say it, listen up!" Wen Ruolan was agitated by Liu Yuan, and the thin scholar was agitated, and the words used by Wen Shi had long been regarded as a deaf ear, and he bowed to the northbound disciples, and said loudly: "The teacher is Yangzhou Gaoyou Academy, and the famous resident guest - Yang Chang!" ”

"Oh...... It turned out to be a Dongting resident, didn't he stay in Dongting Academy honestly, and went to Yangzhou to eat Gaoyou Academy? It doesn't seem to be as good as it could be...... Hahaha...... "Liu Yuan laughed loudly, and from time to time he looked back at the thin scholar, and the thin scholar also laughed a few times, if you want to see the excitement, you still have to coax the seedlings, no one cooperates with Liu Yuan's ridicule, won't he become a giggle alone?"

Wen Ruolan heard that Liu Yuan was so disrespectful to the teacher, and a nameless fire rose in her heart, and she shouted angrily: "Brother Liu Yuan! I think your teacher is the most holy teacher, and speaking out will also be praised by a few friends! ”

"Huh...... The Holy Ancestor didn't dare to say it, but he was also a well-known figure in the world. Liu Yuan raised his head and praised proudly.

"Everyone, don't argue, the teacher is the teacher...... A student is a student, how can he be determined by the teacher......" Wen Shi persuaded the two of them with two steps forward.

I don't know if his voice is too quiet, or his clothes are too mediocre, and his appearance is too outstanding, and no one is willing to take care of him.

Wen Ruolan shook her hand and pushed Wen Shiyong away, pointed at Liu Yuan's nose and said, "You say, I want to hear which 'famous' teacher it is!" ”

Wen Shiyong stepped forward again, and before he could open his mouth to persuade, he was pushed away by Liu Yuan, only to hear Liu Yuan say loudly: "I haven't seen the hillbilly in the world, listen up, my teacher is one of the thirty-six teachers of Egret Academy-Shen Agent!" ”

"Ah...... This ......"

"Hey......"

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, three different expressions of the three people were aroused. Wen Ruolan "Ahhhhh

Wen Shiyong sighed, he had long known Liu Yuan's teacher's name, and he wanted to persuade Wen Ruolan several times, but he couldn't listen to it, they were all surnamed Wen, and they were a family five hundred years ago, but why are you so unbreathable......

The one who coughed non-stop, naturally he was a thin scholar, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was stuck by the melon seed shell, but others didn't know, he knew it in his own heart:

"Shen intermediary, what the hell is the name, hahaha...... Ahem...... Ahem......"
