This is the general situation of the ancient city of Xi'an that Ye harmless saw, so we will return to the main story -

Looking at the scene at this time, yes harmless, I saw him holding the little black donkey while walking and looking up at the face of the stout and straight Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and unconsciously, he had wandered to the south gate of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. "Ziyu-" A big flower cat had a flash of inspiration and was attached to the harmless body of the "three cats", but he didn't know it.

So, he tied his donkey to the bushes under the tower, intending to climb the striking tower and look down on the old and dilapidated Kyoto.

As mentioned above, the third prince has his own unique personality, just like a cat, he loves to be alone, loves to think independently, and loves to investigate major mysteries that he does not understand. Now that he has come to Beijing to catch the exam, although he has a heavy responsibility, he still has not forgotten the various mysteries he wants to clear in his heart, nor has he forgotten the great rebel killer Aliyekul and Yanshan Lang Demon he is looking for, he has not forgotten the earnest advice of Jingmei Daoist to him, he has not forgotten the beautiful sustenance of his relatives in his homeland, and he has not forgotten his infinite reverence for the world's rivers and mountains. Like many literati and swordsmen in the past, Ye Wuwu is also a chivalrous man who loves to travel the world's famous rivers and Buddhist temples and ancient temples, and he is also a scholar who often places his affection on landscapes and pastorals and scenic spots. Seeing things and thinking about feelings, watching mountains, composing poems and paintings are things that are easy to come by. From this point of view, it is not difficult for you to imagine that the third prince Ye is already an enterprising person who cultivates literature and virtue inside and practices martial arts outside; What's more, his literary and martial arts are extraordinary, of course, most of this is due to the three famous teachers of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism that he admires, namely the Confucian name Cao Luzhuang, the supreme master of the Buddha's martial arts, and the third is the Jingmei Taoist from the Ziyang Cave of the towering Kunlun Mountains. Therefore, it is not too much to praise the third prince who looks like a literati scholar here, Ye Wuwu, who is already a wandering "lone thousand" hero who wanders the world, but it is appropriate. Although he had a stunt, he did not make a public appearance in public; And he didn't mention it to his relatives back home, because he knew in his heart that he had been thin and weak since he was a child, and his parents had already explicitly forbidden him to practice martial arts, and his brothers and sisters would not know that he had practiced good martial arts while studying abroad; However, there will be a day, and the third prince is also very confident, confident that he will one day show his skills in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and all the rebellious people and things on the rivers and lakes will be cleared by him!

However, Ye Wuwu knew in his heart that in order to do a good job in this major event of governing the world, it was far from enough to rely on his personal passion, fantasy and meager strength: the first thing that must be insisted on is that "righteous people first correct themselves", "don't take the good as small and do nothing; Don't take the evil as a small thing", the good and the small good things have accumulated a lot, and they will eventually become the great good and great virtue that the world praises; Then what we need to do is to call on all the aspiring scholars and all the masses of the people, talented people, and even mediocre, wicked, and wasted people to arm their minds and take action, and fight a resolute and thorough "war" against the "insidious cunning" and evil spirits of all kinds in the world. However, the "conquest" mentioned here includes all the battles in the great universe and the human world, which of course includes the just battles that the world yearns for; For unjust wars, it is for people with lofty ideals and righteous people to stop or reconcile. Broadly speaking, this "conquest" also includes the "war" within and between the "civil and military skills". For this, yes has a premonition. He had a premonition that in the near future, there would be wars of all kinds, such as "wars of the rivers and lakes," "wars of literature," "wars of technology," "wars of art," and even "all kinds of wars" and "three religions and nine streams." Therefore, how to prevent or weaken the intensity of these wars and restore peace in the world will be a great responsibility for a man with lofty ideals like Yahweh.

In the past, Mencius said: "The benevolent are invincible." ”；“ Those who are benevolent are also people. In short, the Tao also. These two sentences are from Mencius's famous sayings in "Mencius, King Hui of Liang" and "Mencius: Wholeheartedly", which are to the effect that no one can defeat the monarch who practices benevolent government. Because benevolence wins the hearts of the people, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and no one dares to be an enemy of them. Ren means the relationship between people and people. Putting 'benevolence' and 'people' together is the principle of human beings. If everyone can "get along with each other with benevolence", the Tao of Confucianism is realized. Mencius also said in "Mencius: Lilou Shang": "Everyone is close to his relatives and grows up, and the world is peaceful." The meaning of this sentence is also very clear, that is, "everyone can love their parents and respect their elders, then the world will be peaceful." ”

The three sayings of Mencius used above also illustrate such a truth - "To protect the people and the king, Mo Zhi can also reign." "Mencius means that no one can resist to let the common people live a happy and stable life and use such a 'royal way' to unify the world.

For the third prince who was deeply influenced by Confucius and Mencian Confucianism, he knew how to use the principles of "moral government" and "benevolent government" to govern the country and stabilize the world; But what is lacking today is the power of justice, the power and a wise king. Ye Wuwu knows very well in his heart that in order to make the world stable for a long time, the country rich and the people strong, this is by no means a wish, easy to do, this requires a long, long and remote process of change, it takes time to wait, it needs to wait with life, it needs more people and heroes to work hard, and we must not fantasize and look forward to a peaceful and happy world without brutality and tyranny. Tomorrow will be better, but she still needs to brew and create with the disdain of tonight.

These long narratives are not enough to fully explore the harmless inner world and lofty ambitions of the third prince, but from now on, in his actions, you will have a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the harmless inner aspirations of the third son. The gentleman said: "You can't learn." Mencius also said, "My life has an end, and my knowledge has no end." Looking at the scene at this time, the third prince is harmless, he has long been attracted by the two sides in front of him, the inscription with fresh and beautiful fonts, which is the reproduction of his diligent study and insight into the world. The so-called "insight into the world is knowledge, and the connection of human feelings is the article." "Diligent in thinking and discussing, people will naturally increase some knowledge.

What are these two inscriptions? Why is it so favored by characters like the third son? To tell you the truth, yes is not only a chivalrous swordsman, but he is also a rare calligraphy obsesser. He once used the "fox fairy pen" given by his childhood classmate Liu Zhentian to hone the painting style and font of many painters and calligraphers, whether it is Zhang Zhi Zhang Boying, a person from Dunhuang Jiuquan in the Eastern Han Dynasty who is respected as the "grass saint", and Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who is known as the "calligraphy saint"; is still the plump masculine of Tang Yan Zhenqing Kaishu and the slender beauty of Chu Suiliang, as well as the dragon flying phoenix dance of "Zhang Cao Zhang Peak" Zhang Xu; Whether it is the typical "Wei and Jin demeanor" of Gu Kaizhi's paintings, which can be called "painting" for thousands of years, or the painter Lu Tanwei and Lu Tanwei who are as famous as Gu Kaizhi, and Zhang Seng Miao in the Qi Liang period of the Southern Dynasty and Yang Zihua, who is known as the "painting saint", Zhan Ziqian, the painter of the famous Sui Dynasty "You Chun Tu", Han Huang, the author of the famous Tang Dynasty painting "Five Ox Pictures", and Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty, who "sleepwalked" in the Ming Dynasty, for the fonts and artistic styles of these famous artists, the three princes have feasted their eyes and tried their tastes with their own mouths.

There is a saying that "calligraphy and painting are not divided like sisters", even if the calligraphy style of the painter, yes harmless has also come to Mo to practice, and it is "blue out of blue, and better than blue". Not to mention the font style of everyone who is purely famous for calligraphy, Ye Wuwu has already practiced them to perfection and mastery, and it can simply reach the point of reaching the peak, confusing the true with the fake, the truth is difficult to distinguish, and the truth is not as good as the fake; And his font changes freely, Mo who is like whom, and can create an original style in one, which is simply amazing - it is incomparable! Because of his talent in this area, his influence on future generations will continue to flow for thousands of years. Although he had no way of knowing which descendants he influenced in the field of calligraphy and painting, perhaps the contemporary Ye harmless at that time would speculate and estimate that his style of calligraphy and painting would affect the spread to future generations. Even if he could dimly know something in his dreams, it was only a handful of people.

Therefore, for the famous calligraphers and painters of later generations, such as Gu Hongzhong, the author of the famous long scroll figure painting "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" in the Song Dynasty, Dong Yuan, the painter of "Xiaoxiang Picture", Fan Kuan, the painter of "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", Li Tang, the painter of "Cai Wei Tu", Zhang Zeduan, the great author of "Qingming Riverside Picture", Wang Ximeng, the author of "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and Su Hanchen, the depictor of "Autumn Court Drama Baby"; Liang Kai, the painter of the Southern Song Dynasty's masterpiece "Splashing Ink Immortals", and Ma Yuan, the painter of "Walking Song"; The author of "Wen Ji Returns to Hantu", the author of Jin Guo, Zhang Gen; Luo Yang Ma Junxiang, the painter of the large-scale painting "Chaoyuan Map" of the Sanqing Palace in the Yuan Dynasty, and many craftsmen led by his son, Zhao Mengfu, the author of the calligraphy and painting of "Quehua Autumn Color Map", Huang Gongwang, the masterpiece of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", Ni Zhan, the painter of "Autumn Ji in the Fishing Village", Zhao Mengfu's grandson, and Wang Meng, the painter of "Zhichuan Migration Map";

Although they come from different eras, countries and regions, there must be common characteristics of "calligraphy and painting" between them, and there are endless and inextricable influences and connections. It is difficult to say that these later generations of famous calligraphers and painters were not influenced by the writers of classical Chinese calligraphy and painting; It is even more difficult to say that this all-round man who can be called a collection of calligraphy and painting art styles of all schools is harmless, and his influence on future generations has not affected the famous calligraphers and painters who have been thousands of years away from him, thousands of miles and thousands of miles!

Through this long and deep association and reverie, can you reflect the harmless inner world and radiation of the third prince? It's also hard to say, maybe it can, maybe it can't. This depends on the creation and fate of characters like Ya Harmless, will naivety make him unique? Could it really give him the ability to lie so much?
