Chapter 51: The Ultimate Ancient Musician
"Brother Ren, walking thousands of miles is as important as reading thousands of books. Why is it called a blowing platform, why don't we study it. ”
"The stone tablet is also engraved with Shi Kuang's life deeds." Katsuki said.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. It turned out that this genius musician called himself a "blind minister" and a "blind minister", and Katsuki felt that such a senior who was so unrestrained and unrestrained really had a pure heart! Yes, it's not the appearance that attracts people, but the inner "qualities"!
Shi Kuang "knows the rhythm of music", not only knows the music of the piano, but also makes good use of the sound of the piano to express the sound of nature, depicting the beautiful posture of the birds flying and the melodious chirping, which can make the phoenix come to the ceremony; It can make the horses stop grazing, raise their heads and listen to the origin of the six horses; It can make foraging birds stop flying, listen eagerly, and be drunk at the most drunk, and will unconsciously lose the food in their mouths.
There is even more unique: when he played "Qing Hui", more than a dozen cranes flew from the south, stretching their necks and chirping, while lining up in a neat queue to spread their wings and dance, when he continued to play, the sound of the crane's joy and the sound of the piano naturally blended into one, echoing between heaven and earth for a long time; When he played "Clear Horn": the mysterious music flowed from the musician's fingers, from the northwest, the clear sky suddenly rolled dark clouds, and when the second string of sound drifted away from the temple, he saw a violent storm coming. When the third string of sounds suddenly started, but the sharp wind howled, overturning the palace tiles, tearing apart the curtains in the palace, all kinds of sacrificial heavy weapons were shattered, and the tiles on the house fell to the ground.
Don't look at him as a blind person, but he attaches great importance to the reinforcement of acquired learning. One day, Jin Pinggong asked Shi Kuang: "I am seventy years old this year, and I plan to study, but I am worried that I will have more than enough strength in my twilight years, Aiqing, how is this good?" ”
Shi Kuang himself created this famous saying, but he was very humble and said to Jin Pinggong: "King, I once heard a good question, to the effect that 'when you are young, you love to learn, just like the newborn sun, life is full of infinite possibilities; When you are middle-aged, you love to learn, just like the sun at noon, you can warm yourself and others, and you are infinitely beautiful; In his later years, he loves to learn, just like lighting a candle as bright, so that the whole life is full of hope, and brings good luck to himself and others. After some heartfelt persuasion by Shi Kuang, Jin Ping Gong thanked him convincingly: "This is very true! That's true! Thank you Aiqing, fortunately for your guidance, otherwise, my Great Jin Dynasty would have suffered the disaster of destroying the country and exterminating the species! ”
No wonder the Tang Dynasty poets Meng Jiao and Han Yu once wrote poems for the world: "Hitting the stone is fire, and there is no smoke if you don't hit the yuan." People learn to know, and they don't learn unnatural. Everything must be lucky, and he has to be not my sage. Youth must be early, how can it grow into youth"; "Reading is not expensive, and reading is ten thousand times more profitable. Read ancient books in front of the window, and look for books under the lamp. The poor are rich because of books, and the rich are expensive because of books. Du Ruo remembered the Tang poems that Brother Ren had taught him to recite, and couldn't help but blurt out them, and sighed, "It seems that it's not too late to learn!" ”
"Yes, what is even more exaggerated is this sentence, Confucius said: 'When you hear the Tao, you can die at night.'" Kaki also said sincerely.
Seeing the introduction on the stone tablet, Du Ruo couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ren, why is this Jin doctor called 'Jin Ye'?" ”
"Maybe it's his life's ambition, because his musical realm is unique, almost unmatched, as his name suggests, 'Liberal', so he is not afraid of the powerful all his life, independent and special, and does his own thing, which is extremely commendable in ancient times." Kaki thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh, the art is high, and people can be bold." Du Ruo understood the reason.
A breeze blew, the trees and grass danced, making wonderful sounds, and Jiashu sighed: "Maybe Shi Kuang can play the wonderful sound of the wind blowing the leaves, but unfortunately we have no chance to appreciate it, so we can only listen to the beautiful sound of nature." For the sake of being bold and independent, let's continue to learn. ”
I have learned to "see the virtuous and think together, and see the unvirtuous and introspect introspectively." After that, Du Ruo sighed sadly: "The ancient people were really crazy, Shi Kuang actually blinded his eyes in order to surpass the teacher's piano skills, in fact, the price is too great, of course, I also believe that this is just a legend." ”
"I also believe that this is just a wild history, but no matter what, this is the wisdom of the ancients, focusing on their own strengths, studying without distractions, and striving to be better than the blue. Hey, there are gains and losses! "Kaki doesn't know what to say.
Jiashu analyzed for Du Ruo "Zai Yu Day. 'Rotten wood shall not be carved, nor shall the wall of dung be enclosed; Yu Yu and He Xu? ''Let me be hearkened to men, and believe in their deeds; Now I am also in the people, listen to their words and watch their deeds. Yu Yu and change is. Du Ruo understood: "Zai Yu actually slept a lot during the day and wasted his time." Confucius bitterly criticized him, as if the rotten wood could no longer be carved, and the walls like dung could no longer be painted; A sage like Confucius actually made self-criticism, at first he listened to what the other party said, he believed the other party's behavior, after the setback, now Confucius not only listens to the other party's words, but also examines his actual actions. In Zai Yu, he changed his one-sided attitude towards people. ”
In the past, Du Ruo only knew the meaning of "sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask", but she didn't know why, but today she understands: "This is the words of Confucius praising the great doctor of the country, Confucius praised the doctor Confucius Wenzi, thinking that he was 'smart and open-minded and studious, and was not ashamed to ask others, so he called him 'Doctor Wen'." ”
Then he studied "Yongye Chapter 6", and Du Ruo asked Jiashu to analyze "The life of a person is also straight, and the life of recklessness is also spared." ”
Katsuki said, "People should be upright in the world, and those who are not upright can only be lucky enough to avoid disasters in the world." ”
"Can you give an example?" Du Ruo asked anxiously.
"Let me tell you a story. Dong Xuan was the commander of Luoyang, Kyoto, during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu Jianwu.
Chen Liuren Dong Xuan was the Luoyang Order. Princess Huyang's manservant killed people and hid them in the master's house, and the officials couldn't catch them. One day the princess of Huyang went out and the slave drove. Dong Xuan led a group of people to wait for Hou at the west gate in the north of Luoyang City, stopped the car, forced it with weapons, announced the murder charge, and caught and killed the murderer on the spot. Princess Huyang immediately returned to the palace to cry to Emperor Guangwu. The emperor was furious and summoned Dong Xuan to kill Dong Xuan with a mallet. Dong Xuan kowtowed and said, "Please allow me to say a word before dying." The emperor said, "What did you say?" Dong Xuan said: "Your Majesty's holy virtue, Zhongxing Han family, if you set slaves and kill people, how will you rule the world?" I don't have to die with a gavel, I die myself. After saying that, he hit his head on the pillar, and his face was bleeding. The emperor ordered the little eunuch to come forward and grab Dong Xuan, asking him to kowtow to Princess Huyang to admit his mistake, Dong Xuan did not obey and forced him, Dong Xuan supported the ground with both hands, but refused to kowtow. Princess Huyang said to the emperor: "You used to be cloth, hiding fugitives, and the officials did not dare to enter, but now you are the world, can't authority be exercised on a local official?" The emperor smiled and said, "The Son of Heaven cannot be compared with Buyi. So he ordered: "Strong point order out!" "The reward is 300,000. Dong Xuan distributed the reward money to his subordinates. As a result, Dong Xuan was able to fight the wealthy nobles. In the capital division, no one was shocked. ”
"No wonder some people say, 'Man is doing it, the sky is watching,' 'If you can escape for a while, you will not be able to escape for a lifetime.' Du Ruo blurted out.
