Chapter 40: A Tribute to Culture
readx;
The literati of the Song Dynasty were fanatical, cherished their reputation, and if necessary, it was not uncommon for them to die to preserve their reputation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Shangying is not easy to fool, she looks like the kind of person who can die for her doctrine at any time.
Since childhood, he has been sharp and melancholy, reciting ten thousand words every day, and the sages of Confucius and Mencius have had a deep influence, and he can be regarded as a great Confucian for a while.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong, Cai Jing served as the prime minister, and was convicted of his words and demoted to the prefect of Henan.
Life has ups and downs, and when you are old, you will finally have enlightenment, and when you read the Vima Sutra, you will finally have an understanding and return to the Dharma.
After painstaking research, he wrote "The Protector of the Law", which added a strong touch to the philosophical theory of religion.
In his later years, Zhang Shangying was a pure, a person who was detached from low-level interests, and after paying tribute to Shi, he visited old friends with a clear conscience after his death, and these were the tenets of his religious philosophy.
A young man, such atmospheric poetry is really rare, Luo Bingwang recited poetry at the age of seven, and Cao Chong was called an elephant at the age of eight, both of which are synonymous with prodigies.
This son casually went to a green building and made "Touching the Fish" with such a high degree of singing, and Liu Sanchang is alive, which is this level.
He said that this kid had come to Chang'an, and he was going to take office in three days, but he didn't believe it, and under the guidance of the guards, he finally found the kid's residence.
What is a big family, what is said is that these losers, it is great that there are two stinky money and the yard is very diligent, such a gentleman can have a few catties of ink in his stomach, and besides, he is a military and reckless man, and he can make such beautiful poems, and he will be laughed at when he says it.
It's better to be famous when you meet, and the words spoken in your mouth are not at all reserved as a literati should have, and there are no rules for laughing and laughing.
There are no rules for the subordinates in the family, and the random groups of three or five say some market slang, and the hippie smiling faces are not serious, but the food is very particular, and it tastes very good.
"With such literary brilliance, bending to the general, do you have resentment in your heart?"
The political system of the Song Dynasty was controlled by a group of literati, and the military generals were inferior everywhere.
"Thank you, sir, for your heartfelt words, the kid is just casual and doesn't have a clear plan for the future.
Donghuamen roll call is out of reach for the boy, a reckless man, can not be elegant, for the chaotic and complicated court, the boy is more willing to gallop unrestrained.
You old-timers are stabilizing the rear in the court, and we are galloping on horseback and expanding the territory, all for the sake of the court, and it is difficult to say which is more important.
It's just that the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, after Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, the status of the military generals plummeted, and they could not be compared with the literati, which was determined by the needs of the imperial court.
But now that there are internal and external troubles, the literati can only watch the enemy's steel knife slashed at the neck of their relatives and scold people, and pick up guns to determine the world, or look at those rude soldiers.
The kid does things with his heart, not the position of approaching the emperor in the court, and besides, that position is not something that ordinary people can get, the exclusive right of eunuchs, I haven't seen it yet, boy.
In contrast, the kid felt that riding a tall horse, standing in the black cloak against the wind, pointing to the blade, galloping horses, and rolling heads was what the kid and I yearn for.
Forget it, leave it to you stubborn people to do, boy, I've got enough blood licking from my knife. ”
said it very generously, and did it a little decisively, this is what Wu Xi, a person from later generations wanted to do when he came to the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhang Shangying laughed, the smile was very far-fetched, I don't know if Wu Xi talked about his pain, or touched his bottom line, in short, he was unhappy in his heart.
Breakfast was already used up, and the servant replaced it with tea, and Zhang Shangying drank it greedily, as if he would never drink enough.
"Not only is the food at home very special, but even the tea has an intriguing smell. ”
This is dissatisfied with Wu Xi's remarks, the arrogant posture cultivated by literati since Taizu is not allowed to be criticized by others, but today a hairy boy has really taught him a lesson.
Even if the heart has entered the Buddha, Hongchen old things can't help but be remembered often.
"Boy, I'm just a person who can't speak, sir, it's my nature to go straight, if I talk around the corner, my tongue will be knotted, for the sake of the tongue, the kid won't be a man against his will. ”
This can be regarded as an apology, Zhang Shangying also got off the donkey, giggling and laughing.
"I'm still young, it's not okay to hide, sooner or later I have to face it, the first proposition you kid put forward is a false proposition, and the latter thing deviated from the original course, and the old man was almost surrounded by you. ”
"Let it be, some things have to be done by someone, the entire Song Dynasty 50 million people, not bad boy me, without my court still runs very well, I'm just a passerby, a clown who jumps off the beam, please let the kid go." ”
"Don't think too high of yourself, it's just a temporary appearance, it's hard to say what will happen in the future, it depends on how you grasp it, you are a student, the old man accepted it, after the military camp came back, he took the time to come to Bailu Thatched Cottage to study, and the old man taught in person. ”
"Then thanks to the love of Mr., the boy is better than obeying his fate. ”
Wu Xi knows that if he doesn't agree, it's these people who are stubborn, if you don't agree, I'll be killed in minutes.
For the sake of the healthy growth of the older generation, Wu Xi compromised.
"How's the writing of Sir's "Dharma Protector Fallen"?"
After talking about the future, it is natural to turn to academics, "Protecting the Law" is the essence of Zhang Shangying's lifelong academics, which is very important to him and also to the development of society.
"Do you know the old man's book?"
"That's natural, often read it, wonderful, hand can't let go of the volume, and the food is not sweet. ”
"That's nonsense!"
The old man was angry, he was already blowing his beard and glaring, and now he was really angry.
He can fool him about the affairs of the court, but he can't fool around with academic matters at will.
"Why is the gentleman angry?"
Wu Xi asked cautiously.
"Okay, very good, since you said that you have read this book, you must have some impressions, can you briefly describe some of the content in it?"
"This ......"
It's not that Wu Xi doesn't want to say it, but it's hard to say it, if you want to say that you have read it, it's true, when I went to school in later generations, I often watched some miscellaneous things, and "Protector of the Law" was naturally among them.
It's just that the age is a little old, and I can't remember it clearly, and my thoughts are turning quickly, looking for some memories of that era.
"Summarize the essentials, just prescribe wisdom. If you can keep the precepts, you will decide not to fall into the three muds, if you can concentrate your strength, you will decide to exceed the six desires, and if you can set your wisdom and be clear, you will reach the Buddha's insight and enter the Mahayana position. ”
After shaking his head, he waited for the old master's praise.
I didn't see any movement for a long time, and when I looked up and secretly looked, Zhang Shangying was completely standing on the seat, like a stone statue standing still.
After a long time, there was finally movement.
"Concentration, yes, is concentration, and the place that can't be broken through for a long time is completely opened by the words of a seat. ”
Zhang Shangying put down the teacup in his hand, stood solemnly, and respectfully gave Wu Xi a big salute.
Wu Xi wanted to stop it, but the old man was very strong, so he had to insist on finishing it.
This is a tribute to Xuewen, not to Wu Xi.
After the salute, he hurried away, and the old servant followed behind, waiting carefully, for fear that if there was a mistake, it would be separated from heaven and man.
When he was about to walk out of the door, he turned around and scolded and said, "Remember, boy, this matter is not over yet, I don't have time to clean you up today, prepare the rattan another day, and wait to be smoked." ”
Wu Xi was confused, and he didn't understand what this old man was going to do, others should be happy when they read his books, why he was like this.
Lao Meng had already laughed out of breath, standing at the door and shaking his head constantly.
"Old Meng, what's the matter? You laugh at me too?"
"The head of the family is wrong, the head of the family is knowledgeable, the old man admires, the fault is that your scholarship is too profound. ”
"How do you say this? Say one, two, three, and spare you from dying. ”
""Dharma Protector Fall" is Mr. Tianjue's life's work, all kinds of truths are very profound, it is difficult for us ordinary masters to read, but this book has not yet been published, how do you know the content of the family?"
"Ahh
"I don't dare to say that I steal books, at least, there are people in this world who want to share his theories, and he may not be able to accept this.
If you think about it, a person has worked hard all his life on this matter, and you have made it clear in a few words, if it gets out, won't he spend the rest of his life in a mess?"
Wu Xi then figured out the reason, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, wanting to catch up and explain, but found that explaining this kind of thing was so pale that it could only get darker and darker.
That's it, no matter how he understands it, he can't go up and say that he traveled to the Great Song Dynasty in the later life, and he knows everything that happened after that.
If he said this, not only did the old man not believe it, but he would also be treated as a neurotic and locked up in a mental hospital for the rest of his life.
After all the calculations, it is better to go around yourself, and it is better to keep a low profile in the future, cherish life and stay away from Confucianism.
When I am not in the mood to do things, I am left to drink, and as soon as I drink, I think of the second pot head of the later generations.
Then Lao Meng's hateful face sounded, and he was finally able to find something to do for him.
handed over the recipe for Lao Meng's winemaking, and hid aside to steal the fun, such a huge project can be endured by him.
After dinner, Zhang Shangying sent someone to the house to spread the word that he would visit Cui's house tomorrow.
The Cui family is a real high-ranking family, so they can't lose their manners, not to mention that there is a beauty in the Cui Mansion that haunts Wu Xi's dreams
