0684 General's Brilliant Pen
After the day, the government and the people of Jingzhou began to resume work, all industries resumed production, and some people who came from afar also left one after another.
However, the envoy from Gangneung, Li Tai still graciously kept them for a longer period of time, although he did not have time to accompany them personally, but he instructed the government officials to arrange a rich program of activities for them.
"Everyone, please see, this is Jingzhou Mansion School. Since the completion of the pavilion, the state and county have selected students from all walks of life to study here, and more than 10,000 people have learned the scriptures and understood the meaning here, and ...... are literate."
With the larger the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, the scale of Jingzhou Mansion School is also getting larger and larger, and it is already a building complex that is difficult to ignore in the city.
"Northerners or also knowledge?"
When someone in the team suddenly said such a sentence, it immediately caused the entire tour team to laugh. When it comes to riding and archery martial arts, the southerners may not be proficient, but when it comes to learning literature and art, they will inevitably have a sense of superiority.
Hearing these laughter, several members of the state government who were tour guides couldn't help but look gloomy, but a young subordinate officer stepped forward and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Generally speaking, the northerners are indeed less academic. Especially in Nanyang, the old famous people in this township did not keep the township industry and abandoned the land, so that this township has been reduced to a wild wilderness for many years, and the people do not know how to read and learn.
After General Li entered the rule, he deeply felt that the morality of the countryside was degenerate, and only learning could be stopped, so he built this state to learn, invited the people to teach, and did not have to learn deeply, but knew the righteousness, and the nostalgia and customs were changed. It is not as good as the southern country to learn fine arts, but the people's wisdom is open, each knows what to do, and thanks to the blessing of General Li, he can still live and work in peace and contentment in this troubled world. ”
When the people in Jiangling heard this, they couldn't be happy, especially the people from Nanyang who were reprimanded for not keeping their hometown and abandoning their land, and their faces were even more faintly hot at this time. Although it was not they who made this decision back then, it was also their ancestors.
"Listening to Han Lang's tone, it doesn't seem that he is from this township in the north?"
Someone looked at this young subordinate officer and asked with a smile, originally didn't care much about the little follower arranged by the state capital, but now he also took it seriously.
Han Xian, who had not yet switched from the fighting state of maintaining the dignity of the state capital, also nodded and said after hearing the words: "The lowly people who are in Anlu live in Huainan for a long time. Hou Jingzuo raged in the countryside, and the lowly villagers were not spared, and their relatives were abused, but only one person was spared. ”
Although he was still stabbing these Jiangling people with words, after all, it was related to his own life experience, and Han Xian's voice couldn't help but be hoarse and sad when he talked about this.
When everyone in Jiangling heard this, they all showed sad expressions, no matter what their identities were, whether they had experienced it or not, the Hou Jing rebellion that was still rampant was a pain in the hearts of them, the officials and people of the Southern Dynasty.
Several people in official positions in Jiangling couldn't help but feel complicated when they heard that Han Xian had been rescued and sheltered by General Li. They may not be very capable, but they still have a basic sense of morality and right and wrong, and their own people have to rely on the generals of other countries to rescue and protect them when they are in trouble, which in any case shows the mediocrity and incompetence of the people in the country!
Han Xian did not continue to dig into this topic to stimulate these Jiangling visitors, and after striking a blow to the contempt and arrogance of these people, he and several colleagues in the state capital led them to enjoy the palace school.
Regardless of the level of education in the state capital, there is really nothing to say about the environment of this school.
The school itself covers a huge area, various forms of buildings are scattered in it, there are paved smooth brick pavements in the school, and there are some flower beds, fruit trees, bamboo forests and other garden landscapes between the pavilion courtyards for students to come and play and rest, and even their visitors can't help but feel relaxed and happy when they linger here.
Compared with the Northern Dynasties, the society of the Southern Dynasties itself was very urbanized, and there were not only government offices and residences of officials and magnitaries, but also many mansions and small houses in the city.
As a result, many large cities, including Jiankang and Gangneung, are often overcrowded and haphazardly planned, so a large area of land in the center of the city is of great value in itself, and it is rarely used for this purpose, either as a residence of a powerful person or as a royal garden.
Xiao Yan, the martial emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Gang, the current puppet emperor, and Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong who sat in Jiangling, each of them flaunted their studiousness and etiquette, and they also accepted a group of talented people to study and talk about metaphysics and Taoism by their side.
Regardless of whether their academic research path has deviated or not, the academic atmosphere they have created is very enjoyable for many people in the Southern Dynasties.
Therefore, when they saw that the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion was so attentive to the construction of the mansion, these Jiangling people were not only surprised, but also secretly had a good impression and curiosity about the rulers in this area.
After a while, the group came to a small garden pavilion to rest for a while, and suddenly a Jiangling man pointed to the pillar on the pavilion and exclaimed: "Here is also preaching the "Anthology"? ”
Hearing this exclamation, everyone also stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that the surface of the stone pillar of this small pavilion was carved with the "Selected Preface" of the late Prince Zhaoming, which naturally surprised them.
Han Xian explained with a smile on the side: "General Li once said that the "Zhaoming Anthology" is a selection of masters, and those who learn from the master can observe their selection methods and rules, so as to become their own method of study. Those who learn from the following can read through the selected texts, and the righteousness and rhetoric are both eloquent and emotional. If there is an aspiring scholar in the world, how can he not learn? Therefore, General Li personally wrote the preface, which was recorded in the school! ”
The "Anthology of Literature" edited by Prince Zhaoming has a high reputation in the Southern Liang Dynasty and has always been praised as a model for school selection. And when I heard that General Li also respected and valued "Zhaoming Anthology", I was both excited and happy and embarrassed for a while.
The joy is naturally that they are happy that their own people and culture can be recognized and satisfied by foreigners, and the embarrassment is because the topic of Prince Zhaoming is in a relatively taboo state in their Jiangling, after all, their lord Xiangdong King ordered someone to kill the son of Prince Zhaoming before, and the other son of Zhaoming, King Xiao Jing, is also in a hostile state with Jiangling.
The king of Xiangdong himself is not a generous person, so although the topic of Prince Zhaoming is not explicitly forbidden in Jiangling, if you talk about it unscrupulously, then someone will come to test whether your neck is hard enough!
Therefore, when they learned that the "Zhaoming Anthology" was an important and highly respected textbook in Jingzhou Prefecture, these Jiangling people were both proud and full of entanglement.
In this complicated mood, someone suddenly noticed a blind spot, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask Han Lang, is this preface really written by General Li himself?" ”
After being reminded by this person, everyone in Jiangling immediately paid attention to the calligraphy of this inscription. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you can't help but let out exclamations again and again when you see it.
Li Tai's European style script in the world just came to this world soon aroused Su Sui's surprise and attention, a few years later, in such an environment in ancient times, whether he was a subordinate official of the overlord or a governor of the state and county, he also inevitably uploaded and handed down the article writing, calligraphy is naturally more and more proficient in practice, more and more rules.
Ouyang Xun's European style script was originally based on the development of calligraphy in the Southern Dynasties, and took the essence of the famous masters of the past dynasties and became a self-contained, although Li Tai himself did not hold the attitude of concentrating on practicing calligraphy but daily use, although he was relaxed and proficient at the same time, although he may not have the essence of European style, but it can also be called full of charm.
Calligraphy occupies a very large proportion in the literary and artistic life of the scholars of the Southern Dynasties, and it is precisely because of this social atmosphere that many famous calligraphers, including the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, were born.
Even if these people from Gangneung do not have extraordinary calligraphy attainments, they also have a certain aesthetic appreciation. Therefore, when they saw Li Tai's calligraphy with both form and spirit and strong meaning, everyone was fascinated by it, and they each hugged a pavilion pillar and refused to let go.
This pavilion only has an octagonal pillar, naturally not everyone can get it, some people stand in the center of the pavilion for a long time, so they can't help but scratch their ears and cheeks in a hurry, it is not good to crowd and snatch in front of them, so they simply rushed to Han Xian and others and said: "May I ask Han Lang and all your nobles, are there any other General Li Da ink blots that are considerable?" ”
Han Xian and the others did not have superb calligraphy attainments and aesthetic taste, so they naturally didn't understand why these people were so obsessed and anxious, but after hearing this, they still shook their heads again and again and said no. It's really a joke, all the ink sketches made by General Li are all military and political secrets of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, how can he casually publicize it to outsiders like them!
Out of their love and admiration for General Li's calligraphy, these people stayed here and lingered until the night, which caused many onlookers and students to be unconscious, and finally left under the advice of Han Xian and others.
However, when Han Xian and others invited them to the next step of the trip on behalf of the state government the next day, most of them were reluctant to go, but said that they would return to the government to study, and they also prepared pen, ink and paper, apparently planning to go to copy and learn books.
Faced with this situation, Han Xian and the others could only reluctantly cancel the rest of the trip temporarily, and then accompany these people to Fuxue, and at the same time couldn't help muttering to themselves, General Li's writing style is really so superb and charming?
These guys naturally don't know that General Li's skills don't stop there, purely because their cultural quality is too low, so they are low-key and restrained on weekdays, and they are too lazy to flatter the blind man.
However, Li Tai fortunately still has a little skill to win on the battlefield, so that he will not have nothing to show in this cultural desert of Western Wei. Soon after the New Year, his skill came in handy again, and Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, led tens of thousands of horses from Yecheng to Huainan.
