Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bitch and the Archway

"What's going on?" Sima Fa couldn't help but ask.

Ren Mo just smiled bitterly, shook his head, and then said depressedly and angrily:

"You will know the Tao when you come with me. ”

Sima Fa didn't want to read a book anymore, and his curiosity was also aroused at this time, so he followed Ren Mo and strode over, but he returned to the lotus pond, and then walked along the wooden pavilion to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The water pavilion is also not interesting, if you look closely, the bark on the handrails around it has not been peeled off, at first Sima Fa felt a little shabby, but after looking at it for a long time, he felt that there was a kind of "wild crossing without a boat self-horizontal" pastoral freshness, away from the hustle and bustle of the market.

When he came to the front of the pavilion, he found that the invited scholars had gathered here, but they were pointing and discussing the couplets on both sides of the pavilion. Sima Fa is talented in poetry, and those who are good at poetry are often extraordinary in couplets, so he set his sights on it with a bit of arrogance.

Under this look, Sima Fa's first reaction was to frown, and he couldn't help but say loudly:

"What an ugly word!"

Yes, the words on the threshold are really crooked, extremely ugly, even some Mengtong's pen practice works can also be better than the past, so that Sima Fa often has to guess with Meng to accurately determine what the words are.

Seeing this ugly word, he was even more contemptuous in his heart, so he read it word by word from top to bottom:

"The sound of the wind, the sound of the field? Oh no, it should be the sound of rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear?"

As soon as he finished reading this upper link, Sima Fa still had a disapproving look on his face, but when he saw the lower link and read it out slowly, the expression on his face turned into shock little by little, and he waited until he finished reading. was already suddenly moved:

"Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything cares about !!"

"This !!!" Sima Fa recited this couplet several times in a row, and the whole person stepped backwards several steps! Almost sat down on the ground, if struck by lightning! Chewing the meaning of this couplet carefully, he was a little stupid for a while!!

At this time, the academies often had their own school mottos, such as the school motto of Hengqu Academy, which is also a sentence that has been passed down through the ages:

'Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people. For the sake of the saints, for the sake of eternal peace!"

Another example is the school motto of Bailu Academy: the sun and the moon have two rounds of heaven and earth, and the heart of the sage has ten thousand volumes of poetry and books.

However, the disciples of Donglin Academy, who think highly of themselves, feel that the school motto of these academies is too straightforward and utilitarian, and they don't know how to cover it up at all.

But in essence, in Donglin Academy, there is just a lack of a school motto that can be pinpointed and engraved into the depths of the literati of this Donglin line!!

Therefore, if the rest of the schools see this couplet, at most they will admire and admire it. But for the Donglin Party members who advocate humility and tranquility, but are politically ambitious, this couplet pierced directly into their hearts!

Tie the dragon with his bare hands. The white body of the counselor of the world is their highest ideal.

After reading this couplet, the people of Donglin Academy suddenly felt that it was a real statement of their purpose and principles. Even the course of learning has been condensed into the 22 words of this couplet! To put it vulgarly, the mentality of the Donglin Party people who want to set up a bitch and an archway is vividly described!

There are clouds in ancient books: Chaowen Dao. Death at night!

For the sons of Donglin Academy, this wind and rain couplet is like the Tao in their hearts!!

How could this not make the talented Sima Fa foolish?

Even if the current mountain of Donglin Academy came in person, he would be moved!

***

The sound of the wind, the rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the voice.

Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned.

This couplet is very unceremoniously copied from his own memory, in his past life, this couplet was written by the leader of the Ming Donglin Party, the great Confucian Gu Xiancheng!

Gu Xiancheng studied Confucian classics intensively, but he did not write any books that have been handed down to the world, and the only somewhat famous "Gu Duanwen's Testament" is only circulated in a small circle.

However, Gu Xiancheng can be famous through the ages because he has condensed his lifelong knowledge and his strongest feelings into this famous couplet!

With this couplet alone, he can complete the three major steps of Confucianism's virtue, meritorious service, and speech, which shows the depth of the meaning and high status of this couplet.

This link integrates the sound of reading and the sound of wind and rain, which is both poetic and profound. Xialian has the ambition of ruling the country and leveling the world. The wind is to the rain, the home is to the country, the ear is to the heart, and it is extremely neat, especially with overlapping words, such as hearing the sound of books.

Lin Fengjin had conducted a survey of the major academies before, and was surprised to find that Donglin Academy did not have this iconic couplet that could be attached to their bones and even their souls.

For Lin Fengjin, this is as strange as seeing Li Ning's advertisement but not seeing the famous advertising slogan "everything is possible", so after his investigation, he found that this should be due to the fact that although Donglin Academy is there, the great Confucian Gu Xiancheng has not yet been born.

In the history of Lin Fengjin, Donglin Academy is divided into two periods, the Northern Song Dynasty existed for more than 100 years, and then abandoned, after more than 400 years, the Ming Dynasty Wanli 32 years was rebuilt by Gu Xiancheng and others, so Lin Fengjin estimated that the current Donglin Academy should belong to the Northern Song Dynasty in history, so Gu Xiancheng has not yet appeared, and naturally there is no such famous couplet.

So at this time, Lin Fengjin unceremoniously sacrificed this couplet, which became the most powerful weapon to solve the current crisis!

There is no doubt that Lin Fengjin has become crowded here all of a sudden, and it is true that the threshold has been broken.

After receiving the urgent notice from the same door, these scholars came to the door in an endless stream to watch, first, with pleasure, wanting to see the dejected expressions of the scholars in Donglin Academy who were above the top at this time, and secondly, they came at Lin Fengjin's ugly hand.

Because whether it is this couplet or Lin Fengjin's words, they have left a deep impression on the viewer, mainly because the contrast between the two is too strong.

For example, it is as if you meet a very innocent girl, only to find that her middle finger is not painted with nail polish, and even the nail of her middle finger is carefully trimmed short. (If you don't understand this sentence, you can go to the book review area to post for advice.......)

Therefore, people who have been here to Lin Fengjin, when talking to others, will inevitably subconsciously tell what they are most impressed by, and the excellence of the couplets is something that can be tasted by a reader, but to what extent Lin Fengjin's words are bad, it can only be seen with his own eyes to be the most intuitive.

At this time, everyone has a topic to talk about: why did you make such a famous couplet for the ages, but the words are written worse than a fucking dog!!

This couplet was like an incomparably heavy stone, smashing the surface of the lake, and the shock wave set off was so fierce that even the initiator Lin Fengjin had never imagined it.

The travel team of Donglin Academy this time was originally dominated by a deputy mountain chief Gu, but before leaving, an old timer of the academy who had been away from the world for 30 years also suddenly moved to visit an old friend in Guangnan, so he walked all the way.

This old-timer is one of the famous Confucians in China, named Ruan Xian, who is good at swordsmanship, and has not been outstanding, and belongs to the kind of grandmaster-level figure who has supernatural powers and Confucianism and Taoism. At this time, his cultivation was completely unhindered by external objects, no matter in winter or summer, he only wore a linen shirt, and if he had seniority in his rotation, he would not even have the status of Shen Zhijiang, who founded Tianchang Academy, as high as him.

This old man is affectionate and sexual, indulgent, unruly, often naked and dancing swords after getting drunk, and fornicating with his nephew's maidservant. The most famous is one time, when his relatives and friends drank together, he also came to participate, not with a wine glass, but with a large basin of wine, and he was drunk. At that time, a large group of pigs came to drink, and Ruan Xian drank with the pigs. He drank and played the piano at the same time, but he had a lot of fun.

At this time, there was no QQ and ** era, so although Lin Fengjin made this couplet shocked everyone, but when the news reached Xuezheng who came to the school, it was also late at night when the mountain chief was in the ears, so although many people wanted to go and take a look, by the way, to see what kind of talent wrote such sentences, and they did not rush to the night because of their own identity.

However, Ruan Xian is not like this, he is a person of the most affectionate and sexual, to put it ugly, he is an old stubborn donkey, he must do it when he thinks of it, as soon as he heard the twenty-two words of this couplet passed down by others, he immediately became obsessed with the place, and he was addicted to it for longer than Sima Fa!

As soon as he woke up, he immediately rushed over overnight, ignoring the dissuasion of others, and grabbed a student's neck to let him lead the way!

Ruan Xian stood outside the pavilion, looking at Lin Fengjin's dog-like rotten words, and at the threshold couplet that clearly interpreted the Dao Zhi Principle upheld by Donglin Academy, a seventy or eighty-year-old man with a gray beard and hair suddenly fell to the ground and cried, slammed his head against the pillar of the pavilion and burst into tears, and his mouth repeatedly chanted:

"How can I be a thief, how can I be a thief, how can I be a thief, how can I be a thief, how can I be a thief!!!!"

At this time, those academicians who didn't know Ruan Xian's temperament were here to see the strangeness and point their fingers, but the Donglin scholars who knew Ruan Xian's temperament, in desperation, deeply felt that this elder really had some truth in his words.

The content of this couplet is also appropriate to describe it as a beautiful woman who has captivated the city and the country, but the words that carry this couplet are so ugly! (To be continued......
