Chapter 40 The Golden Immortal Cave Talks About China
A wall is separated, no, it is a golden fairy cave separated by glass.
Cai Yuanpei, Chen Zhongfu, Qian Xuantong, Wang Jiawei, Zhou Shuren, Gu Hongming, and Hu Shizhi were sitting on the "high explosives" in the little woman's mouth, and they didn't know that there was a negotiation in the Leiyin Cave next door.
The seven people were engrossed in the third treasure of the "Four Treasures of Cloud Dwelling": the tomb beast of Song Huizong.
This thing is the largest and heaviest among the four treasures, and Qin Beiyang, who is hiding in the secret passage on the top floor, is worried about whether this tomb beast will crush the case.
Professor Wang Jiawei talked eloquently: "Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, the king of the fallen country of the Northern Song Dynasty. Jingkang's change, the sky fell apart, the Jin people captured Bianjing, he and his son Song Qinzong were exiled to the city of five countries by the Songhua River, and the father and son were locked up under a dry well. ”
"Song Huizong is a literati emperor, his own 'thin gold body', flower and bird painting 'courtyard style', poetry, calligraphy, painting, printing in one, both realistic and freehand, thousands of years of rare artistic genius, than the vassal and elegant Qianlong Emperor, I don't know how many times stronger. But when it comes to governing the country, I don't know how many times worse. Song Huizong is capable of everything, but he can't be a king's ear! ”
The legendary tomb beasts are all monsters with terrifying images and hideous faces. The tomb beast of the world's most talented emperor is a crane. It's a pity that it's not complete, there is a large piece of damage in the middle of the body, and you have to rely on the iron frame to stand firm.
Qin Beiyang looked down condescendingly, unable to judge whether the spirit stone of the tomb beast existed? But he couldn't feel the spirituality of the crane, and his Hetian warm blood jade pendant, as well as the nine colors, did not react.
But it is very much like the white crane that saved itself under the cliff of heaven - elegant, high and cold, slender crane feet, like a fairy soaring in the white clouds, the sharp beak of the crane pointed straight at the sky, as if to lead the song and soar into the sky......
Gu Hongming, who was in a robe and a horse coat, admired with glasses: "The Qing Dynasty has the original work of Song Huizong "Ruihe Picture" in the inner palace of the Qing Dynasty, and more than ten cranes hovering in the palace are delicate and delicate, both form and spirit, full of royal atmosphere, and are Song painting masterpieces. ”
Hu Shizhi, who was wearing a suit, asked: "Song Huizong was captured by the Jin people to the north and died, why is there still a tomb beast?" Appearing in the Four Treasures of Cloud Dwelling again? ”
Wang Jiawei replied: "Song Huizong was buried in Henan by the Jin people. Song Jin "Shaoxing Peace", the Jin people sent the skeleton of Song Huizong back to the Southern Song Dynasty and buried in Shaoxing Yongyou Mausoleum. After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty stole and excavated the imperial tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty, and this tomb beast must have fallen into the hands of the Yuan people. ”
"Kublai Khan the Great of the Yuan Dynasty gave this treasure to Yunju Temple, becoming the third treasure of the four treasures of Yunju." The old assassin gave the final answer, "You see, this is badly damaged, because when the Song Huizong underground palace was excavated, Xianhe killed a large number of Mongol soldiers. The Yuan people pushed out the fire gun, and only then did they shatter the heart of the tomb beast. ”
Everyone circled around the tomb beast of Xianhe Town, and found that the back was engraved with thin gold calligraphy - the heavenly bones are beautiful, fun and hazy, such as Qu Tie breaking gold, to thin without losing its flesh, turning everywhere hidden front, quite strong and elegant. It was originally a "thin muscle", but it was noble with "gold", which was the original creation of Song Huizong.
"The west wind shook the door at night, and the depressed lonely hall was faintly lit. Looking back at three thousand miles, there are no geese flying in the south of the mountain. Qian Xuantong read out the text on the tomb beast, "The poem of Song Huizong after being captured, the flow of time, quite the feeling that Empress Li was a prisoner in Bianjing. ”
The last paragraph of thin gold is from "The Analects of Weizi" - not righteous and meaningless. The festival of the young and the old cannot be abolished: the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, how can it be abolished? He wants to cleanse his body, and he is incestuous and incestuous against. A gentleman is also a gentleman, and he does what he is right.
Gu Hongming praised: "Song Huizong is not only proficient in calligraphy and painting, but also respects etiquette. ”
"Preserve the principles of heaven, destroy people's desires, and the science of science has harmed China for more than 700 years." Chen Zhongfu seized the opportunity to fight back, "Mr. Gu, your braids should have been cut a long time ago!" ”
"The braids on my head are tangible, but the braids of your hearts are invisible."
"I have already understood your speech in the class at Peking University." Qian Xuantong stood on Chen Zhongfu's side, "Later life thought that "Analects", "The Mean", "University", etc., are the braids in the hearts of Chinese. Chinese characters, in terms of their glyphs, are not pinyin but the last stream of hieroglyphs, which is not easy to read and write. If we want China to perish and make the Chinese nation a civilized nation in the 20th century, we must abolish Confucianism and the Chinese language! ”
Hu Shizhi couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Qian, if the Chinese language is really abolished, what kind of script should be used?" ”
"XUAN TONG MEANS TO USE ESPERANTO, WHICH IS GRAMMATICALLY SIMPLE, NEATLY PRONOUNCED, AND WELL-ROOTED!"
"Esperanto?" GU HONGMING NATURALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT ESPERANTO MEANT, "RIDICULOUS! ”
"The only way to do this is to abolish the Chinese language first, and save the Chinese language, and use the Roman alphabet instead. There is a long way to go to reform the Chinese language and sweep away the thousand-year-old poison of Confucianism! ”
In the face of the terrible future life, Gu Hongming said: "In the past, there was a family that guarded the priceless treasures handed down by the ancestors, such as the four treasures of Yunju, but when they saw that the family next door was arrogant, they smashed all their treasures, thinking that they could be as generous as the next door." ”
"Any treasure that has been used for 2,000 years can only be a bunch of ornaments. Even if the four treasures of Yunju are eaten, can they be eaten as meals? Can you wear a woven fabric? It can only satisfy the vanity of the literati of my generation. ”
"I was born in Penang, Nanyang, and my mother is a Westerner. It can be said that I, Gu Hongming, am half a foreign devil. When I was ten years old, I went to England to study, and before leaving, my father told me in front of the ancestral tablet: whether you are British, German or French, do not forget that you are Chinese. Mother takes care of me: Remember, China, China, people! ”
Cai Yuanpei said between Chen Zhongfu and Gu Hongming: "Taking the opportunity to appreciate the Four Treasures of Yunju, we debated the survival and abolition of Confucianism in the Jinxian Cave of Shijing Mountain, which is more important to the fate of China's future and the way of life in a hundred years than the Four Treasures of Yunju." At that time, I was studying at the University of Leipzig in Germany, and Mr. Koo was already a well-known figure. I invite Mr. Gu to come to Peking University to teach English literature, and I also invite Mr. Zhongfu to be the dean of liberal arts. ”
"It is a great blessing for China to have such a university president! I have studied and lived in Europe for 14 years, mastered English, German, French, Latin, Greek, and obtained 13 doctorates in literature, philosophy, science, and divine. Over the years, I have translated the Four Books and the Five Classics into English, so that Westerners can see the essence of Eastern civilization. ”
"Mr. Koo's spirit and perseverance are deeply admired by Zhong Fu! However, in the eyes of Westerners, Oriental civilization is just a plaything to satisfy their curiosity. ”
Even though Chen Zhongfu is full of fighting spirit, he must be polite in the face of everyone like Gu Hongming. The old assassin crossed his arms and listened with great interest.
Three years ago, Gu's English work "Spring and Autumn Day" was published in Europe, explaining that the Chinese have four virtues: profoundness, broadness, simplicity and spirituality. You don't see, four years have passed since the Great War in Europe, and rivers of blood have been shed and lives have been lost. The West is also reflecting on why a fratricidal catastrophe broke out. Is it just a contradiction between the German-Austrian bloc and the Anglo-French-Russian alliance? No, I have to look for it in the realm of civilization, how to solve the problem of Westerners? I gave the answer - the way of Confucius and Mencius, Confucian civilization. Voltaire, the master of Enlightenment thought, had already pointed out this clear path. ”
"Mr. Koo is right." Wang Jiawei put on a peacemaker attitude, "Westerners have science as a weapon, and we Chinese must learn science, but we cannot give up our inherent civilization." ”
"The inherent civilization you mentioned, but it was picked up by Yuan Shikai, not only to restore the ritual, but also to make strange sacrificial clothes, and what appeared with this incident was the imperial system."
Gu Hongming said with a smile: "You don't know, I once confronted Yuan Shikai in person. When he died, the whole city of Beijing mourned, but I invited the troupe to celebrate for three days! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle of words in front of the Four Treasures of Yunju has opened the eyes of my junior." Hu Shizhi opened his mouth and faced Cai Yuanpei respectfully, "Mr. President, I suggest that you study more problems and talk less about doctrine!" It is extremely difficult to study problems, but it is extremely easy to talk about doctrine. There are so many problems that China should urgently solve now. From the livelihood of rickshaw drivers to the authority of the President, from prostitution to official trafficking, from the Anfu Club to the war in Europe, from the emancipation of women to the emancipation of men...... Which one is not an urgent issue of burning eyebrows? ”
Twenty-eight years later, Hu Shizhi became the president of Peking University.
Seeing that this discussion was endless, Wang Jiawei said: "Oh, I forgot all the hard work to climb to this cave, just to see the style of the four treasures of Yunju - the first treasure, the handwritten "Heart Sutra" of Princess Jinxian; The second treasure, Wu Daozi painted the portrait of Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County; The third treasure: Song Huizong Xianhe Town Tomb Beast; What about the fourth treasure? ”
The Assassin "Daddy" had already put away the Crane Town Tomb Beast and took out the fourth treasure from the secret chamber - but it was a heavy stone letter.
