Volume 1 In Search of a Thousand Years Chapter 53 The Palace of Lantai
Qu Yi originally wanted Qu Yuan to rest at home for a day, and then let him accompany him to see the driver when the rest was over, thinking that on the first day of taking office, he should first go to the early dynasty to listen to the government, and some representatives of the Confucian faction in the school palace would be there at that time, so that Qu Yuan could quickly get acquainted with the people in Lantai.
After deliberation, it was decided to get up together to participate in the early court discussion. Qu Yuan just took advantage of today to sort out the books he read at Zhao's house, as well as the notes that Zhaoyue had painstakingly excerpted.
Qu Yuan was holding the bamboo slips he had brought back from Zhaofu in his arms. Walk through the corridor, push open the study, put a hug of bamboo slips on the desk, open these bamboo slips, admire the beautiful handwriting on the bamboo slips, and remember that Bixia first arrived in Qu Mansion and wrote the font of her hometown, and later always said that she wanted to follow the customs of the countryside, so she also learned the script of the Chu State, looking at the words of Bixia on the bamboo slips to write better and better, and she couldn't see that she was a beginner at all.
After appreciating it for a while, Qu Yuan began to seriously interpret the above content, Bixia always has different ideas from ordinary people, the bamboo slips are outlined with lines connecting words after words, and the words recorded by the entire bamboo slips have become a net, simple and clear, so that Qu Yuan quickly stirred up the content of the whole book, and unconsciously his face was full of smiles, and he finished reading all the content in a while.
After sorting out the bamboo slips, Qu Yuan put these bamboo slips on the bookshelf and put another layer, and accidentally touched a volume of poetry on the lower layer, which was Bixia's "Tour in the Mountains" made in Jishan that day, so he re-arranged all the excerpts of "Qingshan Xing", "Shao Si Ming", "Da Si Ming" and "How Difficult the People" he did on the way home, and wrote them silently behind "Mountain Ghosts", and revised and improved the content of these articles, and then re-placed this volume of "Poetry Collection".
Listening to his father's wishes, he will take himself into the palace tomorrow to meet the king. After that, he went to Lantai Palace with those great Confucians, those representatives of various families and factions in Chu State.
Qu Yuan has heard of Lantai Palace, and every time he can only stand outside Lantai Palace and look at Lantai from a distance.
According to legend, the three platforms in Yingzhong were first built by the ancestors to resist the floods of the Han River, and the Lantai can be traced back to Shun planting orchids here, hence the name.
Later, Lantai became the palace of the king of Chu. The indoor pavilions are scattered, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and the mountains are full of Lanhui fragrance, so it is called Lantai Palace.
Later, he followed his father to Lantai, but later he was left outside the Lantai Palace by his father and waited for his father to come and pick him up after the meeting.
When you come to Lantai Palace, the first thing you see is Mochou Lake, and when you see the lake and mountains here, you will throw your worries and sorrows into Mochou Lake, so that your sorrows will be eliminated. The Ten Thousand Flowers Array is the place where the King of Chu and the harem concubines played. It is a labyrinth, a game played by the nobles of the Chu court at that time. There is a pavilion in the middle, called "Mandarin Duck Pavilion".
On the edge of the lake, you can see a palace on the shore of the lake, which is the cool breeze in summer, and it is the first choice for the king of Chu to escape the heat in summer. The screen behind the throne is hand-carved with the totem of the first emperor, which is a symbol of royal power. The state of Chu used the phoenix as a totem.
The ancient Chu people dissolved worship into associations, and blended the beautiful characteristics of many ordinary birds in the world: cranes, pheasants, eagles, and eagles into a "phoenix", and they used "phoenix" to express their feelings of longing for the national take-off, hoping to achieve the goal of defeating the countries and unifying the hegemony.
This is like an old man, although after years of polishing, the traces of vicissitudes have been, when you look at it, it is simple and elegant, so that people can still feel the breath of traditional Chinese culture.
In summer, the academy is so beautiful under the cover of green trees, and grass has grown in the cracks of the roof tiles, and the mottled walls show its antiquity. The left and right sides of the west-facing gate are inlaid with eye-catching stone tablets, and you can see the Lantai Palace written by it.
Walking into the outer courtyard, the old houses in front and back are brick and wood structures, and the trees in the middle, which look so quiet and ethereal. It's a great place to study. It is no wonder that several sons of the King of Chu are in Lantai, as well as the knowledgeable old masters recruited by the Chu State, are also arranged here to teach the princes, nobles, and young masters.
Walking in the corridor under the eaves, there are a few small birds flying around among the trees, making people feel as if they have entered the back garden of the old house, and occasionally you can hear a few birdsongs.
It's a pity that after walking around in it for a while, people were driven out, because they didn't know themselves, and they didn't have a pass.
After that time, Qu Yuan's yearning for Lantai Palace became stronger and stronger. He also learned from his father why Lantai was so strict.
Lantai has the nature of cultivating talents and disseminating cultural knowledge for the Chu State, and its influence on education in the entire Chu State is also huge.
Although the Lantai of Chu State is not as good as the scholars of Qi State, it is also a wide range of wise men from all over the world, if it can open the door for the children of the poor family, will it be able to recruit talents for the imperial court more widely,
At that time, the academy had the basic elements of a university in later generations, and it was a higher education university hall with educational functions as the main body, academic discussion and contention, and the function of serving real politics.
The most vast Jixia School Palace is by no means a return to official learning in history, but an innovation in inheritance and rebirth in change: the combination of official and private learning, so that official learning can go out of the official government and become a university in society;
In the exchange, development, innovation and breakthrough of learning, the continuous growth and emergence of philosophical masters have truly possessed the essential attributes of "the so-called university is not a building, but also a master".
While inheriting and developing the essential attributes and many advantages of Confucius's private learning, the Xuegong also innovated and transcended private learning in the following ways: changing the teaching of one person to the teaching of many people gathered by masters; Change the inheritance and contention of one family's learning into a hundred schools; change the focus on imparting historical knowledge to the study of reality and facing the future; From individual private education to private education consortium entity. And in the form of state-run official schools, it actively influenced and guided the development direction of private schools in the Warring States period.
The palace is also a place for the monarch to consult and inquire about politics and for scholars to discuss state affairs. The fundamental purpose of the rulers of Qi State is to use the strategic wisdom of the world's wise men to complete the political goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army and striving for the world. Because they know that "those who want to rule the world peacefully and become famous must be honored and corporal...... Those who go far are entrusted to the ride, and those who want to overlord are entrusted to the virtuous.
The king of Qi consulted the scholars on state affairs and world affairs, which made the scholars play the role of a think tank, and the palace became a political consultation center. He also used "micro words" to say that Qi Xiang Zou Ji urged him to change the law and innovate. King Xuan of Qi and Mencius discussed political affairs many times, exploring ways to unify the world.
( Five beetles and six lice, stricter than Qin Ling; Wei Qi and Chu are quite literary. Qi opened the first of Zhuang Qu, the palace of Chu Guanglantai, Meng Ke Hotel, Xunqing Zaiyi, so Ji fanned its breeze; Lanling is lush and vulgar, Zou Zi is famous for talking about the sky, Su Zheng is galloping with a carved dragon, Qu Ping is connected with the sun and the moon, and Song Yu is in the wind and clouds。。。。。。 ”)
