When Sun Yuanqi finished writing the letter, it was still the end of June. And then came July. At this time, Chongshi Middle School and Jingshi University Hall began their final exams. This exam has a different meaning for many students.

For the students of Kyoto Normal University, they began to prepare to pass the examination in accordance with the original "Regulations" and proceed to different directions of arts and sciences. According to later statistics, in the 25th year of Guangxu (1899), "there were 49 people who were promoted from arithmetic to Gezhi and chemistry". In other words, there are 49 people studying science.

For the first and second year students of Chongshi Middle School, there are not many options other than upgrading. For the third-year students of Chongshi Middle School, they are faced with a major choice in life: work? Or continue reading?

Those who come to Chongshi Middle School to study, the family is either more enlightened or poor, and it is a more realistic choice to work in the society, such as primary schools in the county and villages, factories, telegraph offices, etc., with stable jobs and generally more generous salaries, at least to maintain food and clothing.

If you continue to study, you have to choose: the first is the imperial examination, which is similar to the national civil service examination in later generations, and after passing, you can enter the ranks of civil servants. In the Wuxu Reform Law last year (1898), Kang Youwei demanded the abolition of the Bagu text, the change of the examination strategy, and the gradual abolition of the imperial examination system through the Guangjian School. However, the new policy implemented by the reformers lasted only three months before it was overturned, and all measures to reform the imperial examination system were in vain. All of a sudden, all the old systems, including the eight-share examination, were restored again. This kind of imperial examination continued until August of the old calendar in 1905, when Zhang Zhidong, Yuan Shikai and others called for the immediate suspension of the imperial examination, and under social pressure, the Qing ruler ordered the imperial examination to be stopped. Between 1898 and 1905, the imperial examination was still the first choice for scholars. But for the students of Chongshi Middle School, this path is almost non-existent. In front of those competitors who have been trained in private schools since childhood, and whose professions are to write the Eight Strands and memorize the Four Books and the Five Classics, the students of the church school have no competitiveness.

The second is to go abroad. Although at the end of the 19th century, the Chinese people's understanding of the East and the West had gradually broadened, the high cost, the long distance, and the awkward foreign language made the vast majority of people regard it as a daunting path.

The third is to go to university. This path may become the goal of many students in the years to come. But at the moment, I'm afraid there is still no one to care about it. Why? Because around 1899, there were not many universities in China in the modern sense. In addition to the Jingshi University Hall in Beijing, the only famous ones are the "Western School" (changed to Beiyang University Hall in 1903, the predecessor of the current Tianjin University) founded in Tianjin by Sheng Xuanhuai in the 21st year of Guangxu (1895) and the "Nanyang Public School" (the predecessor of the current Shanghai Jiao Tong University) founded in Shanghai in the 23rd year of Guangxu (1897).

The Western School is divided into two levels: the first class school (higher school) and the second class school (middle school), and the curriculum pays special attention to the study of subjects such as mechanics and law in addition to the "middle school".

Nanyang College includes four new types of school education: first, the Normal Academy, the earliest new type of normal school in modern China, with a minimum study period of one year; second, the outer courtyard, which is an affiliated primary school of the Normal Academy, where students are divided into four classes and are promoted to the middle courtyard after three years of study; Third, the Intermediate Academy, or second-class school, is a secondary school with four classes of study; Fourth, the Upper Academy, or the First Class School, is a university-like school, which is also divided into four classes, in which the top students are promoted to the Normal College. The number of students is 40 in the Normal College; The outer, middle and upper hospitals are each divided into 4 classes, with 30 students in each class. The funds for running the school were donated by the merchants and compradors of the Merchants and Telegraph Bureaus, so it was named Nanyang College.

As far as the 30 third-year students of Chongshi Middle School are concerned, most of them choose to work, and only a small number choose to go to university; As for the imperial examination and studying abroad, there is none.

But none of this affected Sun Yuanqi too much, and Sun Yuanqi couldn't give them too good advice in addition to being in charge of classes and correcting homework.

The weather in July was already very hot, and the elementary school in the courtyard was still open day after day. Because Sun Yuanqi felt that this group of children were too old, some of them had missed the best enlightenment period, and their receptivity gradually deteriorated. This is regarded as a "make-up class" in later generations, and parents are not happy, and the education department does not allow it. But Lao Tong, Lao Zhao, Lao Zheng, and the parents of these students don't think so: "Mr. Sun is really attentive!" If they don't obey, they will be beaten! ”

"yes, yes. Mr. Sun, don't be polite to them. Hitting is kissing, scolding is love, not beating or scolding will not be successful! ”

"That's right! Disobedient, whip them with a big board! ”

"If Mr. Sun is reluctant, tell me, and I will hang him up and beat him!"

The murderous words made Sun Yuanqi sweat when he heard it.

One day in mid-July, Sun Yuanqi was teaching a group of children of all sizes in the primary school. The third-grade students of Chongshi Middle School came, and the leaders were Han Yu and Chen Jide. They didn't bother Mr. Sun, and went to the laboratory prepared for them on weekdays.

When Sun Yuanqi passed by after class, they were discussing the future. At this moment, Sun Yuanqi remembered Taizu's words: "Just a classmate is young, in his prime; The bookseller was angry and scolded Fang Xuan; Pointing to the country, inspiring words, the dung was ten thousand households. ”

Seeing Sun Yuanqi walk in, the students stopped arguing, stood up in unison, and said, "Hello sir! ”

Sun Yuanqi motioned for them to sit down, and walked straight to the podium where he had been sitting before, on the podium was the recently compiled and written "Elementary Physics Textbook" mechanics (below), thermal credit, and electromagnetic credit, three of each, two volumes each, which were the results of the three grades of Chongshi Middle School this semester. After they all sat down, Sun Yuanqi asked, "What did you just talk about?" ”

They all smiled at each other, and one of them said, "Sir, we are discussing the future!" ”

"Future?" Sun Yuanqi knew this student, named He Chongmin, who was very stocky. The word "future" is somewhat heavy for students like the late Qing Dynasty, and the many disasters and difficulties of history have made many people have not had time to display their ambitions, that is, the storms of politics have been extinguished, and they have disappeared silently in the years. The so-called "sorrow enlightens the saint, and many difficulties prosper the country" is precisely this wave of treacherous history that gave birth to a group of outstanding scholars and politicians. Then he quickly came back to his senses and asked, "What is the result of your discussion?"

The students below are all muttering to each other, "You come first", "You come first". Sun Yuanqi said: "Then you come one by one, say it and let me hear it." Chen Jide, you come first. ”

Chen Jide, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, stood up: "I plan to go to the Western School in Zhili to study machinery, and my goal is to be an engineer and design weapons and ships." Our crushing defeat in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle must be rewarded with shame! ”

Sun Yuanqi and the other classmates all nodded in approval. Sun Yuanqi thought to himself: Forty or fifty years after the victory over Japan, I don't know who here can see it!

The second is He Chongmin: "I want to join the army, start as a pawn, and fight to resist foreign humiliation!" ”

Everyone cheered, and Sun Yuanqi thought to himself: It will be the Boxer Rebellion soon, followed by the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and then a few years of stability, and then the Xinhai Revolution and the Dharma Protection Movement.

The third is that I want to be a writer. The fourth is to become a primary school teacher, hoping to open up people's wisdom.

When it was the turn of the fifth person, he was a little shy and squirmed and said, "My family wants me to be a buddy in the store......"

The other students burst into laughter, and compared to the grand plans of others, this is indeed not the future. The classmate's face flushed in laughter. Sun Yuanqi didn't smile, and nodded as usual: "This is also excellent." ”

"Ah——?h The students were all surprised by Sun Yuanqi's words.

Sun Yuanqi explained: "The same is a buddy, and it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Those who love their jobs and work hard to learn their skills are good guys. is also selling meat, someone goes down with a knife, one catty is one catty, and one catty two taels is one catty and two taels; And for some people, if you go down with a knife, one pound becomes nine taels, one pound and one tael. This distinguishes between high and low. When Sun Yuanqi said this, he remembered Zhang Mingui.

"If you are a good man, you can consider being a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, some people are good, the financial resources are wide, and the customers are surplus, which can be like Shanxi Yinhao, open all over the country; Someone didn't do it well, and the store closed down in three or two days. This also distinguishes between high and low. When Sun Yuanqi said this, he thought of Carrefour and Wal-Mart.

"It's also a good shopkeeper, and it can also be divided into three, six, nine and so on. Some people have made a fortune by deducting catties and pounds, shoddy, and being abducted; Some people rely on honest management, harmony to make money, benefit the country and the people, and their families are very rich. This also distinguishes between high and low. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo's Xiangao was a businessman, because he saved his country, which was recited in ancient and modern times. Therefore, there is no distinction between high and low occupations, and the key is my mentality. When Sun Yuanqi said this, he remembered Shi Chuanxiang.

The students all nodded solemnly.

The student bowed to Sun Yuanqi, his eyes reddening: "Thank you, sir." ”

"You should also pay attention to learning at work. Only by learning can we make progress. If you want to study in the future, or if you encounter any problems in life, you can come to me. Sun Yuanqi motioned for him to sit down, "You are all like this. At least, I can barely help with physics and mathematics. ”

In this way, one by one, they spoke about their choices and future.

Han Yu, who has always been lively, was surprisingly quiet today, sitting there without speaking. Sun Yuanqi looked awkward, so he asked him by name: "Han Yu, what about you?" ”

Han Yu stood up and shouted at Sun Yuan: "Sir-"

Sun Yuanqi replied, "Well, I'll listen." ”

"Hehe, I think it's better to follow Mr." Han Yu grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Oh? Studying at Beijing Normal University? Not bad. Sun Yuan nodded.

"No, no." Han Yu waved his hand again and again, "I want to be a disciple of Mr., the kind of beginner disciple!" ”

"Huh?" Sun Yuanqi opened his mouth wide and almost didn't stand up: I'm going to take a graduate student?

As everyone knows, in traditional Chinese society, this way of learning from teachers and teaching from teachers has always been the main form of knowledge transfer. This kind of master-apprentice relationship who worships the doorwall is very close, no less than that of father and son. On weekdays, everyone says "a teacher for one day, a father for life", but in fact, it is this kind of relationship.

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi was surprised, Han Yu immediately explained: "I told my family, and my family agrees very much. And after I graduated, the old man at home didn't let me work now. I love physics again......"

Just said this, Sun Yuanqi couldn't persuade him, so he agreed in a daze. I thought to myself: I might as well find a scribe to help me organize my textbooks and textbooks.

There is the first, there is the second, there is the third. After a round of introduction, Sun Yuanqi inexplicably accepted four disciples, well, recruited four "graduate students". From then on, I can live the life of a "boss".

"Study for the Rise of China!" After seeing their introductions, Sun Yuanqi stood up, borrowed the famous words of the founding prime minister, and began to start the last lecture to the students in the audience: "This is what I expect from you. Unfortunately, you live in an era of internal and external insults, and you need to face many troubles, and your work and study are limited. But you are also fortunate that these turbulent times have given you the opportunity to work hard. This year is the 25th year of Guangxu, and the Western calendar is 1899, and we will soon enter the 20th century. In the first half of the twentieth century, the land of China will undergo earth-shaking changes, yes, earth-shaking changes! We were caught off guard by many changes, but as your teacher and friend, I have one expectation: no matter what you do, you will not betray your motherland or your nation. Whoever dares to count the classics and forget his ancestors will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever! ”

Sun Yuanqi paused, and then said: "The country is poor and weak, and the people are ignorant, all of which require you to struggle and enlighten. Although politics plays a great role in improving people's livelihood and enriching the country and strengthening the army, at the same time, it is also the dirtiest and dirtiest. If you are academically wrong, just change it; Politically wrong, there is no place to die, and there is no room for change. If possible, I hope that you can be a pure person, a noble person, a person who is beneficial to the country and the nation! The Chinese nation has stood in the East for thousands of years, and he will not lose the country and the species, and now these setbacks will only make the future glory more brilliant! This requires us to irrigate with sweat, youth, and blood. Students, I hope you will live up to the expectations of the motherland and the people! ”

Sun Yuanqi finished speaking. The students in the audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically. The applause rang out for a long time before it subsided.

Early the next morning, Han Yu came over with three other students.

This year, I taught at Chongshi Middle School, teaching three grades at the same time, and many students crossed each other in class, and they were usually familiar with each other, and few of them could be named. The people who came with Han Yu were all like physics on weekdays, and they came a lot and asked a lot of questions. After coming and going, they got to know each other. The three students, Zhou Zongwu, Zishiwen, seventeen years old, Zhang Chun, Zirusu, sixteen years old, are all from Beijing; Gu Zhilin, the character Yuanjia, sixteen, is a native of Zhili.

When Sun Yuan met, first of all, regardless of whether they ate or not, he pulled them to sit at the table and talked while eating. The meal is ready, and there is a rough charter. Let Lao Zhao clean up another house first. There are nearly 30 houses in this courtyard, Lao Tong led his three children to live in two, Lao Zhao's family and Lao Zheng's family each have three rooms, except for the kitchen and utility room, the rest are used by Sun Yuanqi. Many of them are vacant, and it is not difficult to clean up one. asked Lao Zheng to buy a few tables and chairs.

Sun Yuanqi led the four of them to the study and roughly explained his plan: "I am really ashamed that you follow me. Since you're here, I'll have to teach as hard as I can. Because of my limited level, if I were to teach you, I would only be able to take four subjects: Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and English. I was the only teacher, and I didn't have the right teaching materials, so I went the same way I did. I will teach you lessons, you will record them, and then organize them into teaching materials, which can be provided to your juniors and disciples in the future. ”

The students all nodded in understanding.

Sun Yuanqi said: "In my place, I don't charge tuition or anything, and don't mention any constraints. If your home is far away, you can live in the courtyard. By the way, I have an elementary school here, you know. I have to go out to class on weekdays, so I can't take care of it. If you have time, you can give them lessons, and I will pay them as usual. Everyone is in this courtyard, so there is no need for a class schedule, it can be arranged and adjusted at any time. Basically, give the kids two hours in the morning, and then two hours for you. The same is true in the afternoon. If something happens that day, I'll trouble you to teach the children. ”

The students said yes again and again.

"Today is special, you go back and prepare. From tomorrow, classes will be held in earnest, and pen and paper will be ready. Sun Yuanqi sent them away. Because today, Sun Yuanqi also has something to do.

Yesterday, when Sun Yuanqi saw the three "Elementary Physics Textbooks" on the podium, he remembered that only the first half of the textbook for Mr. Sun Jianai was given. Seeing that the semester of Beijing Normal University has ended, if it is not printed quickly, I am afraid that there will be no textbooks for the next semester. And I haven't seen this "uncle" for a long time, so I need to go and walk around. Therefore, yesterday afternoon, I had already instructed Lao Zheng to prepare good things, just waiting to go today.

When the students left, they called Lao Tong, hired a car, and rushed to Lianzi Hutong.

Maybe it's a hot day, maybe it's not a New Year's holiday, compared to the time a year ago, there is obviously no popularity in front of the Sun Mansion now. As soon as the cart stopped in front of the mansion, the family members inside shouted through the door: "Master Sun is sick and there are no guests!" ”

Yes? Is the old man sick? Then you have to check it out!

Sun Yuan got out of the car, and Lao Tong had already run forward, knocked on the door and shouted: "So that the family inside knows that this is Lord Sun's nephew and grandson, who has come to visit the patient." ”

"Nephew?" The servants immediately snatched it out and asked happily, "How many old man's mansions are there?" ”

Lao Tong didn't know how to answer, and looked back at Sun Yuanqi.

Sun Yuanqi and Lao Tong didn't know the prominence of "Shouzhou Sun". At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in Anhui, the Shouzhou Sun family was second only to the Li family in Hefei, and in the early years, it was more powerful than the Zhou family in the east. Sun Jianai has five brothers: the eldest brother Sun Jiaze, the eighteenth year of Daoguang Jinshi; the second brother Sun Jiaduo, Daoguang twenty-one years of Jinshi; The third brother Sun Jiayi, Xianfeng was raised in the second year; fourth brother Sun Jiacheng; The fifth grandson Jianai, the champion of Xianfeng for nine years, is an official to a university scholar. It is known as "one class of three jinshi, five sons and four Dengke", which shows that its talents are prosperous. It's just that most of the descendants of these five brothers are doing business in Shanghai, and there are no outstanding political figures, so they are little known to later generations. Now what the servant is asking is asking which brother Sun Yuanqi is from Sun Jianai's house.

Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to say vaguely: "You said that it was from the Jingshi University Hall, and the uncle naturally knew about it." ”

A servant had already entered the mansion to report, and the other servants brought Sun Yuanqi to the mansion. When Sun Yuan came to the study, he saw Sun Jianai wearing a bamboo cloth robe, sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle, without a trace of illness. Hey, I just said that the old man is sick, isn't it okay now?

Sun Yuanqi walked a few steps briskly and kowtowed: "Say hello to your uncle." ”

"Get up!" Sun Jianai smiled and nodded, letting Sun Yuan get up: "What kind of wind is it today, blowing Baixi here?" ”

Sun Yuan was embarrassed for a while, and said vaguely: "I heard that my uncle is sick, so I came to visit." ”

"Oh?" Sun Jianai stroked his beard and looked at Sun Yuanqi with a smile, "If the old man is good, Baixi won't come?" ”

"Where, where!" Sun Yuanqi shook his head again and again, "That's for fear of disturbing my uncle's business!" ”

Sun Jianai suddenly sighed, and then said slowly: "Baixi, you really 'don't hear anything outside the window'!" ”

Sun Yuanqi was confused and didn't know where to start. I heard Sun Jianai say slowly: "Since the Queen Mother was in power, the old man has been begging for rest due to illness. A few days ago, with the permission of the emperor and the queen mother, he was already resigned on leave. In the future, you can recuperate at home with peace of mind, Baixi, you have to come and walk around from time to time! ”

Ah, the old man is sick and retired? Isn't it good to say that you are sick? Sun Yuanqi thought strangely.

Sun Yuanqi didn't know that Sun Jianai and Weng Tongyi were both masters of Emperor Guangxu, and after the failure of the reform, Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai, and Weng Tongyong was dismissed by the Empress Dowager Cixi, never used, and asked the magistrate to strictly guard him", that is, he was dismissed from all public offices and placed under residential surveillance. Therefore, Sun Jianai was also worried in his heart and repeatedly begged for dismissal, but the Empress Dowager Cixi needed a signature figure of the imperial party, so she did not allow it. Later, the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to abolish Guangxu and set up a new monarch. Sun Jianai strongly objected. Finally, the Empress Dowager Cixi was not happy, and in June of the 25th year of Guangxu, Sun Jianai's wish to resign was achieved.

Sun Yuan nodded and replied, "It will definitely be." ”

After gossiping for a long time, Sun Yuanqi mentioned the purpose of coming today: "Lord Shuzu, only half of the physical engravings printed in the Beijing Normal University Hall last time. It was only in the last few days that I had finished writing the last three volumes, and I brought them to my uncle, who were to be printed as soon as they were available. Otherwise, there will be no textbooks available for the next semester. After speaking, he took out the three "Elementary Physics Textbooks" and handed them to Sun Jianai.

Sun Jianai roughly flipped it over, put it on the table, and said to Sun Yuanqi: "The old man was originally in charge of the affairs of the university hall with the secretary of the ministry, but now he has resigned, but this matter is no longer in the hands of the old man. According to the report, the imperial court has appointed Xu Jingcheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, to temporarily manage the affairs of the University Hall. ”

"Huh? That's it......" Sun Yuanqi was a little disappointed. He had seen Xu Jingcheng this person, it was still when the Beijing Normal University Hall opened, Xu Jingcheng was the chief Chinese teacher of the University Hall, and Sun Yuanqi visited with other teachers and did not say a few words.

Sun Jianai seemed to see Sun Yuanqi's disappointment, and said, "If you go to visit Lord Xu, I'm afraid that things will be delayed." If you can trust the old man, put the book here first, although the old man has resigned, he is still a little thin. ”

"That's the best!" Sun Yuanqi thanked him repeatedly. This matter is settled.

Sun Jianai suddenly asked: "Baixi, have you read the old man and your "Four Books and Chapters" and "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics?" ”

Those two big letters, since they were taken back by Sun Yuanqi, have been thinking about reading them, for fear that this old man will ask. It's a pity that there is no punctuation in that set of books, and the whole text is full of large and small characters, which I really can't read, and I am not interested in turning two pages at most each time. Well, the hypnotic effect that comes with it is very good!

At the moment, he only replied, "Only a few pages...... In the past six months, I have to teach classes to the University Hall, and I have to teach the first, second, and third grades of Chongshi Middle School. There is also a primary school in the house, where children are taught to read every day. In the past few days, several middle school students have come and want to study physics specifically. Every day, I have to attend classes, revise homework, prepare for lessons, and write textbooks. It's too busy...... So, only a few pages were turned. When I have time, I will definitely read it, definitely! ”

"That's it! If you don't want to read it, forget it. The old man seemed to have guessed this result, and sighed: "Baixi, you have stayed in the ocean, you tell the old man, why can't we defeat those barbarians in China?" ”

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten!" Sun Yuanqi subconsciously said this sentence, and then explained: "First, our system is backward, whether it is the political system, the military system, or the education system, it is seriously out of touch with the real society, and it has become weak and corrupt, and it is vulnerable. Second, our science and technology are backward, and at the present stage, all science and technology were invented by Europeans and Americans. Stolen punches can't be won! Third, we are lagging behind in education...... Fourth...... Fifth ......"

Seeing Sun Yuanqi snapping his fingers, counting the backwardness of the Qing Dynasty one by one, Sun Jianai, as the emperor's master, naturally looked no better. Sun Yuanqi saw that the old man's face was very bad, so he stopped talking about it with interest.

After a long time, the old man let out a sigh: "Baixi, you have set up a new-style primary school, right?" It just so happens that the old man has a few grandchildren who are not successful, and you, as a brother, will take them and teach them well......"

This is a standard **, rich second generation, it's not easy to discipline! Sun Yuanqi opened his mouth, just about to refuse. The old man raised his hand to stop Sun Yuanqi from speaking: "The old man wants to see how the barbarians can defeat my China!" ”

After a while, Sun Jianai asked Sun Yuanqi again: "Baixi, you said that you started recruiting disciples?" ”

Sun Yuanqi smiled bitterly and explained: "There are several students who graduated from Chongshi Middle School who are very fond of physics and beg me to accept them. I thought, since they want to learn, if I don't teach them, wouldn't I be their teacher? Besides, the physics textbooks in China are not yet perfect, and I want to teach them and compile them at the same time. For later learners, it is always a little helpful. Therefore, he did not speculate and accepted them. ”

The old man nodded: "Academia is the public instrument of the world. However, at present, Jingshi is the first good district, and it is very taboo for assembly and association, so it is better to keep a low profile. Well, I know that Baixi has always been very peaceful, but the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop...... Oh, the old man will inscribe a plaque for you, or let Xiao Xiao know the difficulty and retreat. ”

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly thanked him.

The old man took out a cut jade plate from the bookshelf, spread it on the bookcase, and pressed it with a paperweight. He took out a long-edged sheep's hair from the pen holder, dipped it in the inkwell that had already been polished, licked the pen carefully, and then swiped it on the paper. In an instant, the house was filled with the fragrance of ink.

Sun Yuanqi leaned in with admiration on his face and carefully admired the celebrity's swings. Sun Jianai wrote in Yan Ti Kaishu, dignified and majestic, with a large bowl mouth for each word. In a moment, five big characters were written, but when I looked closely, it was "Physics Training Institute".

Sun Yuanqi was about to applaud. The old man shook his head, as if he was very dissatisfied with his work: "I'm old, my wrist strength is not good, and the glyphs are all scattered......" said, dipping it in ink again, and writing it again below, carefully examining it a few times, and seemed to be satisfied. After that, I picked up the pen again, wrote it again below, signed the name of "Shouzhou Sun Jianai", and then put down the pen, picked up the rice paper, carefully examined it, and blew gently from time to time to make the ink dry faster.

After reading it again, he stamped the seal before handing the paper to Sun Yuanqi: "Take this word, and choose the ones from it to use...... Originally, Weng Changshu was the first calligrapher in the dynasty, but unfortunately he was dismissed and returned to his hometown...... Alas, now the old man can be regarded as 'being honored in a place where there is no Buddha'......"
