Chapter 46: The Six Arts of Confucianism for Beginners (2)

Mi Fang said, "It's okay, then I'll go and read some books with Brother Shen!"

Shen Guhong had long been accustomed to Mi Fang staying by his side, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the library pavilion!"

The two of them walked towards the library pavilion, but Fang Hongjie, Fang Hongyuan and others were surprised for a while, they all wanted this boy to go to the library pavilion today, what was he going to do?

Walking into the library pavilion, the smell of ancient agarwood incense hit, which made Shen Guhong feel refreshed for a while, he didn't know the first time he came to this library pavilion, but today, it feels different from the past, the main thing is that he is no longer the Shen Guhong of the past.

Mo Qingfeng built this Taibai Academy, and the collection is not only Confucian classics, such as "Zhuangzi", "Mozi" and various theories, there are some here, but the most of them are undoubtedly Confucian, followed by soldiers.

Shen Guhong took out a copy of the Book of Changes, read it for a while, but couldn't understand anything, and then took a few copies in a row, but he was not interested, and inadvertently, he came to the place where the soldiers had a book collection.

The history of the military family can be traced back to the legendary Yellow Emperor period, but there are no writings left during this period. The real military books are only "The Art of War" and "The Art of War".

There are too many legends in "Taigong's Art of War", but it is not as realistic as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Shen Guhong took out these two books and read them for a while, but in a blink of an eye, it was already noon. When he looked back, he saw that Mi Fang was holding a copy of "Poems" and reading it very interestingly, and he couldn't bear to disturb it at the moment, so he continued to study "The Art of War". In the past day, when the two of them came back to their senses, it was already evening.

Back at the residence, Mi Fang made some more things, and the two of them ate together. After Mi Fang cleaned up, she came to Shen Guhong's house again.

Shen Guhong said: "This Uncle Mo went to Kuangshan Temple to find Master Xinyou to play chess again?"

Kuangshan Temple was built in the Zhenguan period, where Li Bai once studied. Mo Qingfeng built this Taibai Academy, which meant to admire the sages. From Taibai Academy to Kuangshan Temple, it is only half an hour away. This is a mountain road, and if the terrain is flat, it will take only half the time.

Mi Fang said: "Every fifteenth day of the new year, the master has to go to the master to play chess, what is there to be surprised about?"

"Where's Yingting, hasn't he come back yet?" Shen Guhong asked again.

"Yingting is a martial arts idiot, he has no problem practicing martial arts all day without eating!" Mi Fang replied.

Shen Guhong smiled and said: "What about you, I haven't seen you practice, you don't know that Uncle Mo's martial arts can be called the top in this world, if you go out in the future, you are defeated by three or two little Luo Luo, then you will fall Uncle Mo's prestige!"

Mi Fang pursed her lips and said, "That's okay, Master said, I practice for half an hour a day, and I can resist Yingting for a day!"

Shen Guhong knew that although Mo Qingfeng was a Confucian master, his martial arts were biased towards Taoism's quiet inaction, and people with a light temperament would get twice the result with half the effort when they practiced, and said with a smile: "Then Yingting knows, isn't it going to be so angry that he smokes?"

Mi Fang smiled: "Yingting is very strong, just let him have some in the future, who called me a sister!"

Only then did Shen Guhong know that Yingting was a few months younger than Mi Fang. At that moment, the two of them talked for half a night before they rested.

On the second day, Shen Guhong and Mi Fang went to the Library Pavilion again, Duan Jing, Yang Qi and others were secretly surprised when they saw this, after all, in their consciousness, when did Shen Guhong go to the Library Pavilion for two days in a row?

Shen Guhong took out two books today, one is "Spring and Autumn" and the other is "Left Turn", looking at their classification, they both belong to Confucianism. These two books are much easier to understand than the "Book of Changes", but when I look at it, I am attracted by the stories inside, and it is a little half a day when I look at it. At this moment, Mo Qingfeng walked in.

Shen Guhong was surprised to find that since Mo Qingfeng walked into the library pavilion, his heart was like a calm lake, and he could clearly reflect Mo Qingfeng's every move, which was a feeling he had never had before. At this time, he couldn't help but think that if he could have such a wonderful feeling when he was fighting with someone, what move would the enemy make first?

The more Shen Guhong thought about it, the more excited he became, but at this time, that wonderful feeling was gone, he knew that this was just a wonderful realm that he had entered unintentionally, and if it was deliberate, it couldn't be had.

"Spring and Autumn?" Mo Qingfeng's voice came out, obviously surprised by the book Shen Guhong read.

"Let Uncle Mo laugh!" Shen Guhong is now completely lost in internal strength, and he can't learn martial arts, looking at this "Spring and Autumn", in fact, he has some ideas in his heart to test his fame.

Mo Qingfeng said with a smile: ""Spring and Autumn" contains many principles for governing the world, and if you look at it, it may be useful in the future." However, among the Confucian doctrines, the most useful and useful are the six arts of Confucianism. ”

Shen Guhong frowned and said, "The Six Arts of Confucianism?"

Mo Qingfeng saw that even Shen Guhong and other scholarly heirlooms did not know much about the theory of the six arts, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, the development of Confucianism to this day has taught a bunch of nerds who only know the theory of reading, but there are not many people who are really useful but remember, so he said: "Strictly speaking, these six arts do not belong only to Confucianism. The earliest record of the name of the six arts is in the "Zhou Li, Diguan", one is said to be five rites, and six is said to be music, three is said to be five shots, four is said to be five masters, five is said to be six books, and six is said to be nine numbers. ”

"The theory of ritual and music is the essence of Confucianism, which has been passed down to this day, and among the six arts, only two or two are still prosperous. It's just that it's too heavy on ritual music, but it has become a shackle that binds people, and the six books involve the creation of words and interpretations, and some of them can also be seen in today's rationale and lexicon, but for the six books, later generations follow Xu Shen's "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", and the status is also very high. As for the other three arts, I am afraid that many Confucian protégés have not learned anything now, but what is really useful is the five masters, five shots, and nine numbers. ”

Shen Guhong said: "Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, the status of Confucianism is much higher than that of the hundred schools of thought, and it is normal to abandon some things!"

"That's true, the art of the five pilots, in today's words, is the art of driving, you should know that during the Warring States Period, the importance of chariots on the battlefield. The art of the five controls requires that the driving skills of the Confucian must reach a very high level, as for the nine numbers, it is an important knowledge involving the duties of the six ministries such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. Mo Qingfeng said.

Shen Guhong is an extremely delicate person, and he can hear it at the moment that Mo Qingfeng deliberately avoided the "five shots", so he said: "Five shots refer to archery, right?"

The reason why Mo Qingfeng avoided archery was because this way was really a martial arts, and now Shen Guhong couldn't learn martial arts, so he avoided it, at this time Shen Guhong asked, he had to say, "That's right, these five shots have white arrows, Shenlian, Zhuan, Xiangqi, and Jingyi." The white arrow pole is the arrow through the target and the arrow is white, the requirement is accurate and powerful, the link is to be able to fire three arrows at the same time, the note is to require the archery person to grasp the trajectory of the arrow, the requirements of the ruler come from the ceremony, and the time of the same shooting, let the king a foot, the well instrument requirements are higher, not only to be able to fire four arrows in a row, but also to the arrow and arrow are in the target. ”

Shen Guhong nodded and said: "So a real Confucian is not a nerd, but requires both civil and military skills." ”

"That's right!" Mo Qingfeng couldn't help but nod. The real Confucianism is the martial arts that can secure the country, and the literature can determine the country. His life is also a bumpy life, now it is not a year of confusion, he has no ability and nothing to achieve, he can't help but feel a lot of emotion, he originally pinned his hopes on Shen Guhong's body, but by mistake, it made Shen Guhong lose the opportunity to practice martial arts, and now in this academy, no one can really inherit his mantle.

Shen Guhong listened, but a novel idea was born in his heart: "Martial arts, the most important thing is to step by step, now that I have no internal strength, if I persist, it is not impossible to practice again." These six arts of Confucianism, let me Shen someone learn it well!"

The key here is to think through, Shen Guhong once again asked Mo Qingfeng for a lot of Confucianism, so, during the day he read and write, learned from the hundred schools of thought, especially Confucianism and soldiers, but at night he secretly went to the back mountain to practice archery. His internal force is not really gone, but it can't be mobilized, but there is no internal force, but the strength of a pair of arms is extremely strong. After practicing for less than three months, he has been able to achieve the "white arrow" realm in the "five shots", and the arrow passes through the target, which is accurate and powerful. Six months later, he was barely able to fire three arrows in a row, but he couldn't hit all of them. After a year, three arrows were fired in a row, and two arrows could hit the target, and two years later, three arrows were fired in a row, and all the arrows hit the target.

Five years later, Shen Guhong has been able to fire four arrows in a row, but he can't all hit the target. Seven years later, his archery skills have been able to achieve four arrows in a row, and the arrows are all on target, nine years later, he has been able to grasp the trajectory of the arrows, and at this time, let alone four arrows in a row, even if it is five arrows in a row, it can be done. In the tenth year, when he closed his eyes, he could penetrate Yang in 100 steps and fire six arrows in a row.

It's been ten years, and he has been in Dakuangshan for ten years, and his internal strength has not been cultivated, but he has cultivated a powerful archery. Once his arrow leaves the string, even a top master like Mo Qingfeng will be cold. Ten years have passed, and he has grown from a young man with a drooping hair to a handsome son. Due to the fact that the true qi in his body was full and could not be mobilized, his body looked extremely strong. The handsome face lined his figure, but it revealed an extraordinary temperament of deep mountains and majestic shores, but it lacked a bit of scholarly atmosphere.

If it weren't for the loss of internal strength under the circumstances, how could Shen Guhong have such archery skills today?
