Chapter 12 What are the Six Arts?
Li Sanbai became more and more imposing the more he spoke, and while walking with his head held high on the Yunshui platform, he shouted with a question: "What is music, what is shooting, what is royal, what is a book, what is a number?"
The voice questioned, knocking on Yun Bufan's heart, which made him at a loss for a while, not knowing how to answer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a while, Yun Bufan sneered: "What is the Six Arts, it is defined by the sage, we ordinary people, we only need to study the Six Classics according to the teachings of the sage, and we can obtain the essence of the Six Arts! Li Sanbai, you are so pretentious, but in fact you don't say the slightest bit of content, do you think you can bluff the nine ceremonial officials present?"
Sure enough, some of the nine ceremonial officials looked at Li Sanbai and suspected that he was really just pretending.
Li Sanbai smiled: "No matter how much you read, but you don't think about it, how can you get the essence of the six arts?"
"Today, I'll tell you what the Six Arts are!"
As he spoke, his expression suddenly became calm, and a pair of dark eyes seemed to cover the stars and the night sky.
Nine ceremonial officials, aristocratic officials, and onlookers, in an instant, they only felt that this village boy seemed to be able to really say what the six arts were!
Yue Zhengjun looked at Li Sanbai's eyes with doubts, and for the first time looked at this young man in cloth, Yan Qinghuai's eyes were extremely bright, as if what he had been insisting on had finally been recognized by the world, Ao Wen's eyes seemed to be open and closed slightly since he came to Yunshuitai, and he glanced at Li Sanbai's somewhat thin figure.
In the midst of all the attention, Li Sanbai looked at Yun Bufan, there was no anger in his eyes, no anger, and only persistence and confidence in what he thought and understood in his heart!
"The so-called six arts are etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics!"
Yun Bufan smiled coldly: "Everyone knows it, do you need to say more?"
Li Sanbai ignored him and continued: "The so-called etiquette is to respect the sky, fear the earth, and people, and know the taboos of heaven, earth and people!"
"Etiquette is not red tape, not the rules of respect and inferiority, but to teach people how to live in harmony with heaven and earth, know how to stop advancing and retreating, and know how to behave!"
As soon as Li Sanbai said this, the tens of thousands of people present only felt a "boom" in their hearts, and it seemed that a thunderclap sounded out of thin air, opening up a world they had never imagined before.
"Pedal~", Yun Bufan took three steps back, and instantly knew that he had lost the debate of the six arts!
In just one sentence, Li Sanbai said the essence of etiquette, how could he not be defeated?
No matter how high he is, no matter how he learns from his family, in the face of such a straightforward and almost Taoist judgment, with just one sentence, he will be defeated!
Li Sanbai ignored him, and was still talking: "The so-called music, life in the world, what you see and hear, all move people's hearts, music, is the world feels all things and plays it, splashes their own feelings, and moves the original intention of all things!"
After saying these words, Yan Qinghuai's eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at Li Sanbai, and some things hidden in his heart seemed to be uncontrollable, and they were about to gush out.
She has been playing the piano since she was a child, and she has already set up a lifelong ambition for the word music, and after listening to Li Sanbai's words at this time, she only felt that he was really her lifelong confidant, and she couldn't live up to it!
A group of courtesy, nobles, officials, and even many people who love music, after listening to Li Sanbai's words at this time, I felt that he said the indescribable voice in his heart, and looked at Li Sanbai's eyes, gradually reducing a lot of previous strangeness and rejection.
Li Sanbai felt the subtle changes in the atmosphere around him, looked at Yun Bufan and smiled slightly, and continued: "The so-called shooting, life is between heaven and earth, the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the sky is infinite, and the man is only a seven-foot body, compared with heaven and earth, how insignificant! Shooting is to condense the whole body and spirit on an arrow, extend oneself, and explore the infinity of heaven and earth!"
"Good!"
As soon as these words came out, a roaring cheer suddenly sounded all around, one after another, endlessly.
"Good!
"I have practiced archery for many years, and today I know the essence of archery!"
Everyone in the human race cultivates immortals, and everyone practices martial arts and arrows, Li Sanbai's words suddenly made everyone feel the same way, and the sound of the mountain shouting for a long time continued.
Li Sanbai smiled slightly, became more and more confident, straightened up, and continued in a loud voice: "The so-called royal, the poem says: 'Trembling, like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice', since people were born, they have been affected by disasters and winds outside, and their hearts are on fire inside, just like driving by the water......"
When he was talking, a voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting him: "Li Sanbai, stop!"
This voice is a little old and a little weak, but it resounded wonderfully in the ears of tens of thousands of people at the scene, as soon as Li Sanbai heard this voice, even if he was talking about it, he couldn't help but stop abruptly and couldn't speak.
Everyone went along the prestige, only to see that the one who interrupted Li Sanbai at the exit was the former Ling Yin of the Chu State-Ao Wen!
When Ao Wen served as the commander of the state of Chu, he assisted King Wu of Chu to integrate national strength, sweep the south, and unify the southern countries, so that the state of Chu became strong and prosperous from then on, and only then did the successive orders of the state of Chu Yin come from the Ruo Ao clan.
It can be said that the strength of the Chu State and the power of the Ruo Ao clan all started with Ao Wen!
However, at this time, Ao Wen stood there, but everyone couldn't feel his magnificent demeanor, only that he was a dying old man, and he didn't know when he was going to return to the west.
Ao Wen tapped the cane in his hand, opened his half-closed eyes, looked at Li Sanbai and said: "Li Sanbai, the law cannot be passed on lightly!
Li Sanbai bowed to Ao Wen and saluted: "Lord Ling Yin's instructions, the grass people dare not disobey it! It's just that whether the grass people win or not is not something that Lord Ling Yin can judge, but depends on how the nine ceremonial officials decide!"
As he spoke, he looked at the nine ceremonial officials, Ao Wen nodded and said, "You're right, I really can't overstep my bounds, Grand Celebrant Official, what do you think of the victory or defeat of the Six Arts debate this time?"
The officiant in the center listened, took a step forward, bowed to Ao Wen, and then said: "In my opinion, in this Six Arts Debate, Li Sanbai wins!"
"Li Sanbai wins!"
"I also think that Li Sanbai wins!"
......
All of a sudden, the nine ceremonial officials said their judgments, and they all said that Li Sanbai was victorious!
Although Yun Bufan had already expected the defeat, he did not expect that he had lost so badly, and every time the official said the words "Li Sanbai wins", his face would turn pale.
Finally, the officiant said proudly: "Li Sanbai explained the essence of salute, music, and archery, which is to expound for the saint, how can he not win with such great talent?
After saying that, he actually took the nine ceremonial officials to bend down together and bow to Li Sanbai.
Li Sanbai stood up proudly and accepted it calmly, he knew that the nine ceremonial officials were not worshipping themselves, but courtesy, and it was the six arts!
