Chapter 12 Wenshan Academy

When they parted, Zhao Qingqing cried like a tearful person, because she knew that she would not be able to see her brother Ling in the future, although she was engaged to a baby kiss, but she was not sure if Brother Ling would come to marry her in the future, maybe he would never come again.

Ling Lingqi could only comfort her and said, "Qingqing, don't cry! don't worry, I will definitely come to see you." Our family went to a neighboring county, not far away. I'll come to see you whenever I have time!"

Zhao Qingqing nodded reluctantly, but the Quan family on the side said anxiously: "Qingqing, hurry up, we're leaving." ”

Ling Lingqi and Zhao Qingqing reluctantly parted. Ling Lingfa took his wife and children to a neighboring county, rented a house, and then worked as a teacher at the Wenshan Academy opened by the famous poet Lu Fangweng. At this time, Lu Fangweng had passed away, and it was Lu Fangweng's second son Lu Zilong who presided over Wenshan Academy.

Ling Lingfa is still quite a talented scholar in Shaoxing Mansion, although he has not been admitted to the examination, but he was admitted to the Xiucai examination when he was very young, so he was hired to Wenshan Academy as a teacher, which is very suitable for him.

Ling Lingqi also followed his father into Wenshan Academy, but he was a student, and his father was a teacher.

The founder of Wenshan Academy was Lu You, and Ling Lingqi was very surprised. Because he knows that Lu You is also a native of Shanyin in history, he was born in a literary family, he can write poetry at the age of twelve, he likes to read military books and practice swordsmanship since he was a child, and he won the first place in the martial arts test at twenty-nine, and has been a petty official in Fujian and Jiangxi, and later transferred to Chengdu, Sichuan, Leshan and other Shu places to serve, and he has been repeatedly excluded. From the end of 1189 to 1210, he spent twenty years in Shaoxing, so he opened the Wenshan Academy, where students not only had to learn literature, but also martial arts. In the words of later generations, it is a civil and military school, of course, this is much taller than the civil and military schools of later generations.

After entering the south gate of Yuyao County, turn right for a short distance to see Shuyuan Street, where Wenshan Academy is located. Come here, at a glance you see a tall stone archway, the gatehouse is engraved with three golden hooks and iron characters: "Academy Gate", the font is square and upright, graceful and generous; on the pillars on both sides are written vertically a line of gold characters, together it is a couplet, and it is also a famous patriotic poem written by Lu You: "Wang Shi set the day of the Central Plains in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Na Weng."

With an extremely curious psychology, Ling Lingqi followed his father through the stone archway, and entered the gate of the academy. This world seems to belong to scholars, and in an instant, Ling Ling Qi felt that the glitz and noise in the market immediately disappeared. This Wenshan Academy really deserves to be called the four major academies of Shaoxing Mansion!

There is a row of pavilions no more than two stories high in the academy, all of which are ancient buildings, elegant, simple, exquisite and beautiful. These carved railings attic are hung with a color of black background gold plaque, inscribed "Wenxuan Pavilion", "Drunken Book Building" and other plaques, from the font obviously all from the famous handwriting, showing a kind of elegant taste.

When Ling Lingqi followed his father into Wenshan Academy, those students were practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts arena. More than a hundred students, large and small, were neatly arranged in a phalanx, and at this time, they were meticulously practicing their swordsmanship under the supervision of two gentlemen.

Ling Lingqi didn't know much about swordsmanship, because the national arts he practiced were mainly Xingyi, Tai Chi and Baji and other internal martial arts, and few people used swords in the prosperous era of national arts. Even if you practice big guns, it's to integrate boxing.

Equipment training is the preferred content of ancient marching and fighting, and hand-to-hand training is only an auxiliary, which can be seen from those ancient martial arts classics that have been handed down. In the era of the prosperity of national arts, the practical application of martial arts equipment in military life has withdrawn from the historical stage, but the training of equipment has an irreplaceable role in the improvement and supplement of hand-to-hand training. For example, Xingyi boxing is a boxing technique of "taking off the robbery for boxing", and the frame structure of the boxing itself is completely evolved from the frame of the big gun. For this reason, equipment training, especially the training of big guns, is to understand and improve the level of Xingyiquan.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the country was weak and bullied by the great powers, both the government and the boxing masters vigorously advocated martial arts to save the country, and established the Central Guoshu Museum, and took out the martial arts of various sects and factions to sort out and exchange, practice and improve together, with the goal of enhancing the people's physique and saving the country, these martial arts are finally called Guoshu.

Ling Lingqi also knows that traditional equipment is a practice method. For example, swordsmanship pays more attention to the wrist, the forearm is practiced with a single sword, the upper arm and chest are practiced with a stick, and the body is calm and twisted with a closed knife. However, the military use of swordsmanship is relatively limited, and generally speaking, I have not heard of how many generals use swords. In the army, the main thing is guns and knives. The sword is commonly used by people in the rivers and lakes and scholars, of course, for scholars, the decorative significance of the sword is greater than the actual combat significance.

Ling Lingqi followed his father and walked straight through the martial arts arena to the hall.

At this time, he saw that there was indeed a middle-aged scholar sitting there in the hall, Ling Lingfa hurriedly stepped forward and made a compilation: "Student Ling Lingfa greets Dean Lu!"

Indeed, Ling Lingfa also had to call himself a student in front of Dean Lu Zilong, because Lu You was already an ancient man at this time, but in the eyes of all readers, Lu You was a writer-level existence! Moreover, Lu You was both civil and military, not only did he write poems and articles well, but also had a good martial arts. This kind of force value is comparable to Liangshan's good man Wu Erlang. Therefore, the gentlemen who came to Wenshan Academy to teach were all very famous, and Ling Lingfa was also able to enter the academy to teach because of his talent, coupled with the recommendation of someone.

It is also very difficult to enter the academy to study, only talented students are recruited here, and all students entering the academy must be interviewed by the dean Lu Zilong.

That Lu Zilong really looks like a great Confucian, wearing a white Confucian dress, under the thick eyebrows, a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes, long black hair tied up with snow-white ribbons, it looks quite a feeling of elegance and luxury.

Although Ling Lingqi was following behind his father, he also noticed that Dean Lu was looking at him with curiosity.

Lu Zilong said politely: "Mr. Ling, please take a seat, this young man is your son Ling Lingqi, right?"

Ling Lingfa nodded and said, "It's the dog!" After speaking, Ling Lingfa turned his head to Ling Lingqi and said, "Xiao Qi, don't salute Dean Lu yet!"
