Chapter 57: Right and Wrong, Right and Wrong (I)
"Yu You's so strange and obedient, he is old and not declining. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The land with a long gong is separated, and the crown cuts the clouds.
Wearing the bright moon and wearing Baolu.
The world is turbid and unavoidable, and we gallop high and ignore ......"
Li Shuchong silently recited Qu Yuan's "Wading the River", walked to the river beach step by step, faced with the tumultuous flowing water, and continued to read softly:
"I mourn the joy of my life, and I am alone in the mountains. I can't change my mind and follow the world, so I will be miserable and end ......up poor."
The pain of falling out of love is only one aspect, and what you do is not understood by others is the most painful. Li Shuchong's mood was very heavy at the moment, and he remembered the conversation with the fisherman before Qu Yuan threw himself into the river. The fisherman asked, "Aren't you a doctor of Sanlu, why did you come here?" Qu Yuan said, "The whole world is muddy, and I am the only one who is innocent; The fisherman said, "A saint is not bound by external things, but is able to change with the world." The whole world is muddy, why don't you go with the flow? Everyone is intoxicated, why don't you drink some thin wine? Why do you want to be banished by the quality of beautiful jade? Qu Yuan said: "I have heard that those who have just washed their hair will definitely shake off the dust on their hats, and those who have just taken a bath will shake off the sand on their clothes. Who can let his innocent body be polluted by foreign things? I would rather throw myself into the river and die in the belly of a fish than expose myself to the dirt of the world. So he wrote "Huaisha", and then held the stone and threw himself into the Miluo River to die.
Li Shuchong walked on the river beach, but he was thinking of this great patriotic poet in his heart. In the dark, he had the illusion that Qu Yuan was not dead. As long as there are people looking for his spirit and learning his poetry, he has not died. It is said that Sima Qian went to Changsha for field investigations, and although he did not find any traces left by Qu Yuan, he found his own "Historical Records"; later Li Bai and Du Fu both went to Changsha and went to pay homage to Qu Yuan. Du Fu wrote in "Huai Li Bai at the End of the Days": "We should share the soul of grievances and send poems to Miluo." I hope that Qu Yuan's poetic soul can accompany and bless the down-and-out Li Bai. In modern times, Lu Xun not only admired Qu Yuan, but also respected Sima Qian, who was the first to write a biography for Qu Yuan. Lu Xun praised "Historical Records" as the swan song of historians, the "Lisao" without rhyme, and his own "Scream" was also called "Lisao" without rhyme by later generations. It seems that Qu Yuan's people are all the same people.
Li Shuchong couldn't help but imagine: If Qu Yuan had not been exiled, but had been in the same dust with the light and had a proud career, would he still be able to write the heart-wrenching "Lisao"? If that were the case, Qu Yuan would not have been Qu Yuan, and the state of Chu would have just had one more "Heshen" official, but it had lost that great writer who had never been seen before. Qu Yuan suffered, but the history of Chinese literature was blessed.
Li Shuchong sat down on the river beach, and he had a sense of déjà vu here. Moreover, recently, he found that he always had a deep feeling when thinking about problems, and he thought to himself, could it be that I had been here in my previous life? Or had I also emulated Qu Yuan's actions in my previous life? Or was the best bookworm in his mind brought him more experience? Unfortunately, he couldn't wake up the best bookworm, so he couldn't verify this problem, unless the bookworm took the initiative to communicate with him.
No matter what difficulties there are in front of him, Li Shuchong decided to follow the call of his heart, continue his dream, rebuild Changnan Academy, and inherit Chinese civilization, which is imperative!
As for right and wrong, let's leave it to the latecomers to comment. Li Shuchong, who had figured it out, stood up again. Looking around, not far in front of Xiaogang Village, a little farther away is Dongbu Ancient Street, they are the classic movie "Shining Red Star" in Changnan County of the main location of the filming, the film crew from Beijing three times Changnan County Egongtan, to complete this classic movie. In the face of this situation, Li Shuchong couldn't help but think of a lyric in the song "Red Star Follows Me to Fight": The eagle spreads its wings and flies, even if the wind and rain are sudden? Okay, let Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit turn into a red star to fight according to me!
After adjusting his mentality, Li Shuchong returned to the road, rode an electric car, and continued to inspect Gaoling Village.
Passing by Xiaogang Village, passing through Dongbu Ancient Street, it didn't take long to come to the foot of Gaoling Mountain. Li Shuchong parked the electric car in front of a farmer's house on the side of the road, locked the car, asked an elderly man to help take care of it, and walked along the path.
On the way, I happened to meet an old man surnamed Ding, who was also going up the mountain. Li Shuchong saw that Ding Laohan was about sixty years old, with a tall and thin figure and strong spirits, probably because of his perennial work, his back was slightly bent, even so, the old man still looked very tall, and it was estimated that he was quite burly when he was young. Hearing that Li Shuchong was going to see Jinji Stone, Ding Laohan happily led the way, and it turned out that the old man's home lived in Dingjia Natural Village, Gaoling Village, near Jinji Stone. The two stepped on the ancient bluestone slab together, took big steps, and moved forward steadily. According to Ding Laohan, when going up the mountain, the steps should be a little bigger, so that it will be more effortless.
Along the way, the old and young talked, and Li Shuchong found that Ding Laohan was actually very talkative, and he often hit the nail on the head, and he seemed to be extraordinary, not at all like an ordinary rural old man. After learning that Li Shuchong planned to rebuild Changnan Academy, Ding Laohan also praised it. Seeing that although Li Shuchong was young, he attached so much importance to traditional Chinese culture, Ding Laohan opened the conversation. It turned out that although Ding Laohan had not studied due to the times, he had a family history. According to genealogical research, Ding's distant ancestor was Chen Shi, a celebrity in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During Chen Shi's tenure as the county magistrate of Taiqiu County (now Yongcheng County, Henan Province), he loved the people like sons, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. One night, a thief sneaked into Chen Shi's house, hid on a beam, and tried to steal something while the Chen family was asleep. Chen Shi did not make a statement after finding out, but took the opportunity to admonish his children and grandchildren to be strict with themselves, strive to be motivated, and not to learn the behavior of "gentlemen on the beam". After the thief listened, he jumped off the beam and pleaded guilty. Chen Shi saw from his face that the thief was also forced by life, so he gave him two silks and let him go back. After the news spread, theft in the county rarely happened.
Li Shuchong suddenly realized: "What you are talking about is the allusion of the gentleman on the beam." But Chen Shi's surname is Chen, and your surname is Ding, how can he be the distant ancestor of your family?"
Ding Laohan rested for a while, and then said: "The grievances and grievances here will start with the Battle of Poyang Lake and Zhu Yuanzhang......"
