Chapter 680: The Winter Solstice All living beings(1/3)
"Your destiny is not allowed to obey?"
"Third Brother..." Wang Anli looked at Wang Anshi in surprise.
He knew his brother's character.
As the saying goes: If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening!
Want him to give up his way?
impossible!
He would rather die than change his ideals and ambitions.
If he was willing to beg for justice in this regard, Xining would not have quit his face for nine years.
"The method of calculating geometry is also the way of the saint!" Wang Anshi said lightly: "In the beginning, the reform and the promotion of math and legal science was my opinion!"
This is also the trend since the ancient Chinese revival movement.
Everyone said that they wanted to be retro and went straight to the era of the saints.
Of course, we must be in line with the saints.
And what are the saints advocate?
A gentleman’s six arts should not be neglected!
Teach without distinction, teach according to your aptitude!
"Besides..." Wang Anshi turned the booklet to the last page and handed it to Wang Anli: "Let's read it with He Fu!"
"This is the real birthday gift given to me by the official family!"
Wang Anli lowered his head and saw a line of standard regular script. His calligraphy was very shallow, but his skills were good.
People can make it difficult to know it.
This is the words in the "Analects of Confucius. Taibo".
Then, Wang Anli's pupils suddenly magnified!
Because what catches your eyes are different ways of pronunciation.
People can make it through, but not know it.
If the people can be used, they should be used; if they cannot be used, they should be known!
If the people can do it, let it be followed; if they cannot, let it be known!
...
Wang Anli's brain went down at this moment.
He raised his head in horror and looked at Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi also looked at him.
Their brothers are both Confucian masters, so naturally they all know what this new way of pronunciation means for Confucian classics?
It means that their brothers can use this to cut and separate the sage's words.
And Wang Anshi was the one who was looking forward to it!
A book "Speech" and a book "New Meaning of the Three Classics" are basically about their own ways in the name of a saint.
The Six Classics Notes to Me?
wrong!
I write the Six Classics, and the Six Classics should be based on my wishes!
This way of using symbols to pronounce sentences seems simple, but when it comes to Wang Anshi's hands, its effect is far better than that of the army of 100,000!
This will subvert the world's literary world!
Wang Anli's hands were trembling.
So much so that he did not notice the mathematical symbols such as adding, subtracting, multiplication and division attached to these pronunciations, using a comparison table between Arabic numerals and Middle-earth numerals.
"Third Brother..." He trembled with his voice cords.
"Yes!" Wang Anshi looked at him: "Hefu, Hefu needs to help him at this time!"
Of course, if you are interested in learning, you can only ask the government for money.
The surplus money and commercial tax in Jiangning Mansion are what Wang Anshi needs.
In addition, talents also need help recruiting Wang Anli, the former governor who has not yet retired.
Wang Anli nodded, probably: "Don't worry, third brother, everything is covered by my younger brother!"
If this matter is done, the Wang family’s descendants will benefit greatly!
Their brothers can also achieve success and be remembered in history.
There is no reason why he doesn't do it!
...
On November 1st year of Yuanyou, Gengwu (16th), the winter solstice.
As soon as Zhao Xu woke up, Empress Dowager Xiang and Empress Dowager were already wearing brand new clothes and were in front of his couch.
The three girls Di Qiang, Meng Qingqing and Wen Xunniang also put on new clothes and stood pretty on the side.
"The official family is happy and healthy in the winter solstice..." The Empress Dowager first congratulated.
"Sixth brother is happy and healthy in the winter solstice!" The Empress Dowager Xiang also smiled and sent her blessings. At the same time, a female official presented a brand new black fur coat to the emperor.
"I wish you happiness and good health in the winter solstice..." The female officials bowed together.
Zhao Xu smiled: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is happy and healthy in the Winter Solstice..."
"You are happy and healthy in the winter solstice!"
The Winter Solstice is one of the most important festivals in the Song Dynasty.
Now, the winter solstice is the New Year!
This is because, in the traditional humanistic consciousness, the winter solstice is a symbol of the peak of Yin.
From this day on, the yang energy will gradually recover.
In traditional society, this means that the beginning of a new year.
In fact, in the Zhou Dynasty, November was the beginning of the year.
In the Song Dynasty, where the retro atmosphere is very strong, it naturally pays more and more attention to the winter solstice.
And for Zhao Xu, starting today, he will have winter vacation.
Classes will be closed from the winter solstice and will not be reopened until the beginning of spring of the coming year.
"Please show your imperial footsteps, wear new socks, and wear new shoes." Meng Qingqing and Di Qiang each held a pair of brand new shoes and socks on the left and right and went forward to worship.
Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, then stretched out his feet.
Wearing new shoes and socks on the winter solstice is also an extremely ancient tradition.
Meng Qingqing stepped forward softly and put on a pair of new socks made of cashmere spinning for Zhao Xu, while Di Qiang put on a pair of brand new silk shoes for Zhao Xu.
Then Wen Xunniang stepped forward: "I beg you to change your clothes for the official family."
Zhao Xu stood up, Wen Xunniang stepped forward and put on new clothes made of sable fur gifts from the Liao people.
"The official family is so handsome!" When the Empress Dowager saw it, she couldn't help but praise: "He is already a good man!"
Xiang Empress Dowager nodded slightly: "It's all the honor of blessing, supporting and taking care of the empress!"
Then she said to Zhao Xu: "Sixth Brother, let's go, I will take my sixth brother to step on the positive line and accumulate blessings!"
Wearing new shoes, new socks, new clothes and then stepping on the yang line on the winter solstice is a tradition since ancient times. This is called practicing auspicious clouds and auspicious energy, accepting new things and seeking blessings. At least in the Han Dynasty, there was such a ceremony.
Modern people should be inherited from the tradition of the Winter Solstice when wearing new clothes in the New Year.
There are also New Year greetings, congratulations, and gatherings.
In fact, it was also inherited from the Middle Ages of Winter Solstice Festivals.
So, the two palaces and the female officials and officials surrounded Zhao Xu and went to the sundial of the Hanlin Astronomical Bureau in the imperial city.
Here, all the officials of the Astronomical Bureau are ready.
"I welcome the sages of the two palaces. Your Majesty the Emperor is here!" Su Song led his ministers to worship. Because he had an order, he could not be praised for his congratulations on the winter solstice, so no one would congratulate him.
Surrounded by the two palaces, Zhao Xu walked to the sundial, took his own steps in the sunlight of the winter solstice, step by step, step on the dark lines of the sundial, just like what he did after waking up from Qingning Palace.
Take every step, be careful.
Boldly test and make careful arrangements.
...
Liaoyang Prefecture, palace.
