Chapter 77 Lonely Mountain Enlightenment

I have to say that studying in seclusion can really lead to things.

After reading Lei Li's collection of essays, Xu Yan found that Master Lei is really a loyal believer in Wang Yangming's Heart Studies.

In fact, the time when the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty took Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as its sect was mainly concentrated before the Zhengde Dynasty.

After Jiajing, Yangming's study of mind emerged, and its status in the imperial examination gradually surpassed that of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

This became even more true from Wanli to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Jie highly praised Yangming's study of the Heart and gave lectures in the capital. Later, Li Chunfang was even more so, and even wrote a work article when he was the chief examiner of the association examination in the second year of Longqing.

This article uses Wang Xue to interpret the scriptures and uses the words of "Zhuangzi" to make a trend.

Just like the leader of the Tang and Song sects, Tang Shunzhi, one of the three great masters of Jiajing, proposed the "original color theory", advocating that "those who do not cleanse the source of the heart, separate the appearance of objects, and have eyes in the present and ancient times" cannot create a good work. He advocated composition "but straighten the chest and write it with handwriting. Although it may be omitted, there is no habit of smoky and fireworks, which is the best word in the universe." If not, although he followed the "rope arrangement", "there are only these few words of the mother-in-law's tongue" and there is no "true spirit and indelible view of the eternal period, even though his writing is skillful, it cannot be avoided as a lower-level article."

These views are essentially consistent with Yangming's study of mind.

By the Wanli period, represented by the left-wingers of Wang Xue, Li Zhi and Yuan Hongdao, advocated the pursuit of articles and seeking the heart, wonders, differences, interests, and integration of Zen Buddhism, Lao Zhuang and other ideas into the imperial examination, which was another great innovation.

Yuan Hongdao even proposed: "The purpose of doing business is to be honest, and from time to time, it will not be straightforward; from time to time, it will not be new and change, and from time to time. Therefore, although the three orders and five supervisions are indefinitely, the trend of literature cannot be stopped, and it is done at the same time."

In general, although Lei Li's views on imperial examination articles are not as radical as those of the left-wingers of Wang Xue, Li Zhi and Yuan Hongdao, they are generally of the same type as Xu Jie, Li Chunfang and Tang Shunzhi, namely the moderate Wang Xue.

There are many kinds of Wangxue, and there are many differences between different factions.

But the root cause is Wang Yangming's Wang Xuexue in Zhejiang.

The representatives of the Wangxue in Zhejiang are Qian Dehong and Wang Ji.

Wang Longxi belongs to the bold and casual school, highlighting the word "Xuan".

Qian Xushan is a mellow conservative, highlighting the word "real".

In Xu Yan's opinion, whether it is Tang Shunzhi, Li Chunfang, Xu Jie or Lei Li, the ones that are praised should be Qian Xushan's Wangxushan's school of thought.

This is simply a place to search for something without any effort.

Very, very good, very good!

Xu Yan was so strongly restrained that he did not laugh and screamed.

If there is anyone among Wang Xue’s disciples who value “reciprocity” more than Qian Dehong, Xu Yan is really unable to think of it.

With such a good teacher instructing him, Xu Yan's article can bring the literary style of the "Regularity" school of Wangxue in Central Zhejiang to the extreme.

Xu Yan specializes in what type of articles Lei Li prefers. He doesn’t believe that Lei Li doesn’t like it!

Of course, Mr. Qian was not in vain for guidance. It seems that a few jars of Ningbo Soup is indispensable.

However, compared with successfully passing the college entrance examination and getting the reputation of a scholar, what is a few jars of soju?

"Good disciple, why are you giggling? Could it be that you are stupid to write articles?"

Qian Dehong appeared behind Xu Yan at some point, which really scared him.

Xu Yan tried hard to calm down his mood, and thought to himself that someone handed him a pillow when he wanted to sleep.

"Mr., the student has something to ask for."

No one knows the master, and Xu Yan knew what he was thinking about when Qian Dehong opened his mouth.

Mr. Qian curled his lips and said, "If you have anything to say, when did you treat you badly?"

Xu Yan was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed, saying, "I would like to ask my teacher to teach me how to integrate the style of Yangming's mind into the imperial examination articles."

Qian Dehong stroked his short beard and smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad. After only one day of watching it, I realized it. As a teacher, I did not see the wrong person."

Xu Yan quickly gave a flatterer: "If you can't even understand this little thing, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you?"

"Forget it, since you are so sincere, I will give you some advice for yourself. If you say that Wang Xue's successor is called second, no one dares to be the first."

Qian Dehong said confidently.

Xu Yan thought that this sentence was nothing wrong. Among Wang Yangming's many disciples, it would be fine if Qian Dehong ranked first.

The rich old man gave a small lecture, and he was able to improve his writing skills.

"Take a piece of article to read."

Xu Yan quickly handed over an article he had just made respectfully.

Qian Dehong only glanced at it and found the problem.

"Your idea is not a problem, but you write too deliberately, obviously because Cheng and Zhu read too much. This kind of article is too rigid and rigid. County and government-level exams can still be considered a masterpiece, but the more you go, the harder it will be to make it."

Xu Yan thought to himself that he is worthy of being a great man, and he is looking at the problem to the point.

In fact, Qian Dehong is a conservative in Wangxue. Even he thinks that the article is too central, which is really too rigid.

"You can be bolder to solve the problem."

Qian Dehong continued to preach: "Don't be afraid of being off-topic. At least this can be done during the college entrance examination."

The examiner of the college entrance examination was undoubtedly Lei Li, and Qian Dehong knew Lei Li's temperament and articles very well.

In this case, boldly solving the problem will naturally benefit the most.

"But you can't be too casual, you need to collect it."

Qian Dehong Youyou said: "Writing an article is like cooking, and mastering the heat is very important. If you want to learn the writing style of a teacher, you can't do it without practicing a few dozen or a hundred articles."

When Xu Yan heard this, he looked straight and looked dark.

How many 1100 articles?

This is much more than he thought.

He originally thought that he could find the true teachings by relying on Mr. Qian's guidance, but now it seems that he is too naive.

But he decided to fight for the hospital examination!

Isn’t it just a tactic for a sea of ​​questions? It’s not that he hasn’t experienced it.

What's more, this time it's more targeted, but it's just a practice style.

"You have read the articles of being a teacher, and the style should be very obvious. Next is practice. This is better, and the teacher will give you the best questions. If you practice three articles a day, you should be able to practice them in a month."

Xu Yan dared not refuse, so he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, my teacher."

Qian Dehong squinted his eyes and said:

Zhizhang is like riding a boat, and his eyes fall into the well and sleeps under the water.

The three dou of Ruyang begin to approach the sky, and the road meets the chariot and salivates.

The left prime minister spends tens of thousands of dollars a day, drinks like a long whale sucking hundreds of rivers, and holds a cup of joy to be called the wise man of the world.

The elegant and beautiful boy of the sect raised his cup and rolled his eyes to the blue sky, as bright as a jade tree facing the wind.

Before Su Jin ate a long time before embroidering the Buddha, he often loved to escape from Zen while drunk.

Li Bai's hundred poems were written by a bucket of poems, and he slept in a restaurant in Chang'an City.

The emperor called him not to board the boat, and claimed that he was a wine-filled immortal.

Zhang Xu's three cups of Grass Saint's Legend, took off his hat and exposed his head in front of the prince, and his brush strokes fell like clouds and smoke.

Jiao Sui was outstanding in the five dou sides, and he talked about the heroic signs and shocked the four banquets.

"Good disciple, why don't you pour wine for your teacher?"
