Zhou Yunxi personally presided over this competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, which really surprised everyone.
He is a literary master of Xiyu Kingdom, a teacher of today's emperor, and a resident of Xiao Xiang who is most admired by countless literati and students.
However, thinking about the most gorgeous stands, there is the noble emperor, everyone is relieved, the emperor himself came to watch the competition, except for Xiao Xiang, who has such qualifications to preside over this competition?
Under the attention of nearly 100,000 people, Zhou Yunxi calmly came to the most eye-catching position in the main ring, he first saluted respectfully to the stands where the emperor was located, and then looked around with his eyes, and saw that all the people were quietly waiting for him to speak, he muttered for a moment before he said slowly:
"On the occasion of the Lantern Festival, the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard of the West Rain Country has also reached the final moment, and the two grand events are held at the same time, which is also the first time in thousands of years."
"At this moment, I actually remembered a song I heard recently, called "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which has these few sentences: 'The sea is laughing, the tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs are remembered with the waves; The sky is smiling, the tide is in the world, and God knows who loses and who wins', which can express the mood at the moment. ”
"In the past countless years, we have conducted a competition every year for the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, and countless young geniuses have also appeared, no matter how beautiful they once were, the era that once belonged to them has passed, and now it is your era."
"The number of people who signed up for the competition this year is more than 50,000, and now there are only 3,000 people left in the finals.
"However, the competition will continue, who can have the last laugh and become a genius among geniuses? God knows who wins and who loses, I only know that everyone standing on the field now has the potential to become the best and hopefully become the person who will go down in history. ”
"I hope that in this competition, whether it is a literary competition or a martial arts competition, each of you can give full play to your best state and hand in the answer sheet that satisfies you, I am very much looking forward to it, because there have been poems among you that make me ashamed, and I hope to make persistent efforts in the finals and write a beautiful chapter that shocks the past and the present."
"Okay, to make a long story short, I announce that the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard is now officially started!"
As soon as the words fell, the scene immediately burst into deafening applause and cheers, which seemed extremely excited and excited.
In the morning, there will be a literary competition, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry, five items, you can choose a single project, or you can choose multiple items for the competition.
Each item is directly judged on a score, with a score of 10 for a total of 50 points.
The square is divided into five areas, namely piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry.
There are 200 people in each area who are in charge of supervision.
The competition time of Wenbi is two hours, the topic of poetry, calligraphy and painting is drawn on the spot, the piano category is free to play, you can choose to play the existing tune that you are good at, you can also create a new piece to play on the spot, and Go can challenge the eight-dan chess player or directly challenge the highest-level nine-dan chess player.
In the final stage, 3,000 people stood on the same **, and all the previous results were not counted.
When Zhou Yunxi announced the official start, many people went directly to the calligraphy area, because this is the easiest task to complete, after drawing the topic, they went to the calligraphy area on the edge of the table to write on the spot, there are two hundred supervisors on the spot, and there are two tables in front of each supervisor, which can supervise two people to write on the spot at the same time.
All calligraphy topics are a seven-character poem, and whichever one is drawn, which one is written on the spot.
A total of 3,000 people participated in the finals, and about 1,000 people went to the calligraphy area to participate in the calligraphy competition, and a third of them went at once.
In addition, it is to the painting area, which is the second largest number of people in the five categories, about 800 people, the same 200 overseers, 400 tables, on-site lottery, on-site painting, as for the topic of painting, it is also an on-site lottery, it is not limited to painting orchids, all flowers may be drawn.
These two areas are the largest number of people, followed by the guqin area, there are about 500 people to participate in the competition, the same is 200 supervisors, however, a supervisor can only supervise a piano table, this area does not need to draw lots, just queue up to participate.
The smallest number of participants was in the poetry area and the Go area, of which there were about 400 people in the poetry area and about 200 people in the Go area.
The 120 people who entered the Go finals before were basically in the chess category, and because the finals could participate in the competition in five categories, some people also came here to participate in the competition first.
After Mu Qianmei pondered for a while, she went to the painting area to participate in the lottery, the competition system stipulates that people who participate in the painting lottery can choose poetry, calligraphy and painting synchronization, that is to say, after drawing the topic of painting, you can paint alone, or you can use calligraphy or poetry to synchronize the competition, or even the three are synchronized, therefore, some people are with such a mind to the calligraphy and painting area to draw lots, some choose two of them at the same time, and some choose three at the same time, Mu Qianmei naturally wants to synchronize the three, so she came here to draw lots.
Liu Tingfeng went directly to the Go area, and went straight to the nine-dan chess player to participate in the competition.
In the Go area, there are only two levels of challenges in the eight-dan and nine-dan sections, one hundred and eighty players in the eight-dan chess game, and twenty players in the nine-dan chess, and the eight-dan chess player who can successfully challenge the nine-dan chess player will get ten points, and the eight-dan chess player who can successfully challenge the eight-dan chess player will get eight points, and if the challenge fails, the appropriate score will be given according to the chess surface of the chess game, so as long as you understand the rules and can reach the level of a section, you can basically score one point, and you can get one point at the lowest.
Like Liu Tingfeng, there were only sixteen people who directly challenged the nine-dan chess players, and the rest participated in the challenge of the eight-dan chess players.
Mu Qianmei's lottery in the painting area was expected by many people, because when she signed up, it was a work of poetry, calligraphy and painting "Molan", and the rumor that Ji Yuanqiu praised the three masters of poetry, calligraphy and painting had reached the peak had already spread throughout Yulan City.
Probably out of respect for the strong, the people who came to the painting area to draw lots consciously stepped aside and let Mu Qianmei be the first to draw lots.
When Mu Qianmei was the first to walk to the lottery table, she suddenly became the focus of the scene, and everyone was curious, what kind of topic could she draw?
After everyone else stood on the side, Mu Qianmei didn't want to delay everyone's time, and immediately walked calmly to the lottery table, three thousand bamboo sticks were erected in a square lottery box, and there was a person who supervised the lottery behind the lottery table, Mu Qianmei did not hesitate, nor did she choose, but casually took out a bamboo stick from the lottery box, took a look at it herself, and then handed it to the person who supervised the drawing.
After the overseer took the bamboo stick, he asked in a low voice:
"Does Miss Mu paint alone, or is she painting at the same time?"
Mu Qianmei replied softly:
"Poetry, calligraphy and painting are synchronized."
Immediately loudly announced:
"Listen to Xuelou Mu Qianmei, the topic drawn is, poetry, calligraphy and painting are synchronized, chrysanthemum."
Many people subconsciously repeated:
"Ju?"
At this time, after announcing the start of the competition, Zhou Yunxi had also come to the observation deck on the third floor of the Youlan Palace, sat with the emperor and the civil and military officials, and was specially arranged by Wu Changhao beside him.
Seeing that the topic drawn by Mu Qianmei on the field was chrysanthemum, Wu Changhao looked at Zhou Yunxi and asked:
"Teacher, the poems, calligraphy and paintings on this topic seem to be depicted by literati throughout the ages, and it is extremely difficult to surpass their predecessors, right?"
Zhou Yunxi replied respectfully:
"Back to Your Majesty, it is true, the literati and writers of the past dynasties have called plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum as the 'four gentlemen in flowers', and their qualities are proud, secluded, tang, and yi, which have become the symbol of their metaphorical ambitions, and are also common themes in poetry and artist calligraphy and painting, among which plum blossoms symbolize the proud snow of the waves, and the noble warriors; The orchid symbolizes the fragrance of the deep valley and the world's virtuous; The green bamboo symbolizes elegance and modesty, and is a humble gentleman; The chrysanthemum symbolizes the graceful frost, the hermit outside the world, they are not charming, and they are independent and independent. ”
"Chrysanthemum has a proud state, can stand alone, stand tall in the autumn wind, not afraid of severe frost, also known as the evening festival, the flower of the hermit also, make people forget to dispel sorrow, comfortable and content. There have been many excellent works handed down through the ages, so it is extremely difficult to stand out in the vast sea of chrysanthemum works. ”
After listening to this, Wu Changhao pondered for a while, and then continued:
"I remember that Mu Qianmei had written plum blossom poems before, and exchanged three plum blossom poems for the teacher's plum blossom villa, which shows that her plum blossom poems are very well written; When she signed up for the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, her work was "Mo Lan", which was also highly praised by Ji Yuanqiu, and even praised that she had reached the realm of perfection; The four gentlemen in this flower, she has won two of them in the world, and now the topic of the lottery is chrysanthemum, can she continue to write brilliantly? ”
Zhou Yunxi still replied respectfully:
"Back to Your Majesty, the literati of all dynasties will basically refer to one of the four gentlemen in the flowers, so they are often only good at one of them, even if there will be works in the other few items, but their level will be slightly inferior, and there has never been a situation where the four types of works of literati are excellent."
"Miss Mu Qianmei is now in two of them, both of which have surpassed the ancients, and now it involves the third category, whether he can continue to be brilliant, Weichen will wait and see."
After listening to Zhou Yunxi's words, the civil and military officials nodded their heads one after another, expressing their approval, and Wu Changhao also said with a smile:
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Mu Qianmei slowly walked to the competition hall and sat directly in front of the first desk, on which the four treasures of the study and colored pigments were already placed.
