Chapter 251: If the name is not right, the words are not right (monthly ticket)
In the end, the news naturally reached the Great Chen court. The court gave him some mercy and Emperor Taizu Gao personally sacrificed his sacrifices and ordered him to be the loyal and righteous man.
It is said that the emperor later moved his loyalty and courage and wanted to posthumously confer him as king, but was stopped by the ministers. The reason for the suspension was not that he was not qualified to enjoy the title of king, but because the three words "Zhengyi Hou" have become a symbol, which is a great glory. No matter how noble the title is, it has been eclipsed in front of the three words "Zhengyi Hou".
Therefore, Emperor Taizu Gao's idea was just given up.
This person was the first. He was not carried into the Confucius Temple because of his literary reputation. He enjoyed a lofty status like Mencius and the seventy-two disciples of the Confucius School.
Almost every year, the academy holds sacrifices.
Even in the palace, there are special sacrificial activities, and among the people, there are special ancestral halls. On his death day, it has become a place for many people to remember.
However, Chen Kaizhi has only read some of his deeds in the classics and history, but he has not been impressed by it. This is not because of the heavy workload.
He nodded and said calmly to Liu Mengyuan: "It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful to students."
But after returning home, Chen Kaizhi was a little embarrassed when he thought about his mission.
The tribute is nothing more than words like Aoi, which exaggerates his achievements and mourns his experiences. Chen Kaizhi can also be familiar with such tributes, but...
Since Mr. Liu specifically explained it, you should not take it lightly.
So he went out to buy a few books about this Zhongyihou, and then read them carefully before talking about them.
Such a hero needs to study hard to write a tribute.
…………
Qufu.
The center of this cultural context, the building of Yansheng Gong Mansion, will always be the most amazing building here.
With generations of expansion and repair, Yanshenggong Mansion has been continuously expanded for several miles, and its scale is no less than that of the imperial cities and palaces of various countries.
In addition to glazed tiles, the buildings here are white walls, carved beams and painted roads, but they are also full of ancient charm.
The seven major palaces around the periphery of Yansheng Gong Mansion were much more overshadowed, but even so, these major palaces can be called gorgeous.
Every brick and tile here seems to have a origin, and every building seems to have a deep meaning. Only on the periphery of Yansheng Gong Mansion and the seven major dukes, the countless thatched cottages and the magnificent duke mansion seem to have become two extremes.
Here, countless scholars who come to visit build thatched cottages and study here, and some people regard this place as a place for learning and learning. Therefore, each gathering place for thatched cottages will specially open up a place to study, or scholars who are frugal or ragged poets. They will always gather here at special times, then study here, and exchange knowledge with each other.
There are the sounds of reading everywhere, because no one who can't read a big word is allowed to approach unless it is a license, and there is no smoke here. Because the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, all the food and food are from the other side of a river, where countless servants will be delivered on time.
This is a place that every scholar yearns for. Even in the early morning, it is not a rooster who crows, but a boy selected from the Yansheng Gong Mansion. He will wear a silk scarf and a Confucian shirt on his head, and then slowly climb to the Wen Tower of Yansheng Gong Mansion. This Wen Tower is ten feet high and has no obstacles on all sides.
The boy sat cross-legged here, and then started singing with the purest ancient rhyme: "Learn and practice it from time to time..."
Starting from the first sentence of the Analects of Confucius, when the boy started reading, the loud voices were also scattered in the center of the Qufu cultural context. Then, there were already children preparing in the literary buildings one by one. They began to echo with the sound of reading in the distance with their tender voices.
It didn't take long for countless reading sounds to gather together.
This ancient tone pierces the dawn of a new day, and the loud voices break through the sky. At this time... it is the third hour of Mao.
At the third hour of Mao, the sacrifices of Yansheng Gong's Mansion also began.
The three major items of sacrifice, descendants, and the text of sacrifice and cold pork.
The descendants of the direct descendants are here to tell the sages that their families are already flourishing.
The sacrificial text preaches the achievements of sages day after day. Although the sacrificial text has never been changed for hundreds of years, the only thing that has been changed is the title of sacrificial sage. In short, the title has become more and more lengthy, and even a single title may not be able to hold a single piece of sacrificial text.
The last cold pork is the top priority. The descendants need to eat it, and the sages also need it. This is the so-called sense of substitution. Just like if the descendants are good, they will inevitably become substituted for their own deceased ancestors. I think the deceased ancestors must be lonely under the spring, so they must burn some paper beauties. The more they burn, the more they represent filial piety.
But the Yanshenggong Mansion is different. The ancestors were sages. How could sages love gorgeous carriages, how could they love beauties, and how could they be interested in brocade clothes and clothes? So the sages had to eat cold pork. After eating them year after year, hundreds of years, the world has become unrecognizable. Even the Yanshenggong Mansion is becoming more and more magnificent. For the sages who have long passed away, cold pork remains unchanged.
After the sacrifice, the sound of reading with ancient rhymes finally came to an abrupt end when I read the first article of learning, "I don't worry about the fact that I don't know, but I don't know."
At this time, the whole Qufu seemed to be full of vitality.
The heads of the seven great dukes' mansions have gathered in Xingtan.
So the high-ranking Yan Shenggong, wearing a Confucian sling sewn with the best silk, slowly left the Dacheng Palace and came here slowly.
The Apricot Hall is a square pavilion with double eaves, hip roofs on all sides, cross ridges, two floors of yellow tiles and flying eaves, and double brackets. The caissons in the pavilion are carved in fine carvings, painted with golden dragons, and colorful colors. According to legend, Saint Kong once gathered his disciples to give lectures at the Apricot Hall, so many apricot trees were planted around here.
As soon as Yan Shenggong arrived, the descendants of the seven great dukes stood up and bowed deeply to Yan Shenggong.
Yan Shenggong also looked solemn and gave him a gift.
Then, like stars holding the moon, Yan Shenggong knelt down.
Next to him, a ritual official stood, and he would always start singing at the right time, of course, he still used ancient rhyme.
After singing, Yan Shenggong's expression was dull.
Although he was solemn, he seemed a little tired. He obviously hadn't had a good sleep, so he just said lightly: "Have you ever read the articles sent by Tianren Pavilion?"
The seventh prince nodded one after another.
So Yan Shenggong sighed: "I'm so amazed, what about the intentions of all the dukes?"
Yan Shenggong could not laugh, so he always had a tight face. He didn't know which generation of Yan Shenggong set the rules set by Yan Shenggong after the construction of Yan Shenggong's Mansion.
Since Yan Shenggong could not laugh and always had a tight face, then... the head of the seven major dukes' mansions could not laugh anymore, so that the Confucian scholars who had entered Qufu gradually began to stop laughing.
Laughing becomes an act of rudeness, and being rude is a taboo.
Duke Wen Cheng slowly said: "This is a strange literary style, good!"
Wen Zhonggong had a calm face and echoed: "Good!"
This all expresses the praise for this article.
Only Wen Zhenggong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked thoughtful: "Although he is good, it is quite controversial."
A trace of understanding flashed through Yan Shenggong's eyes.
The source of the dispute is from various countries.
This is an article sent by the Great Chen Tianren Pavilion, but here are the Great Xian and Yansheng Gong Mansions of Chu, Yue, Yan, Xiliang, Shu and other countries. They are not just an academic institution or a place for sacrifice. Here, every move is closely related, even...
This is a stage to balance the interests of various countries. For example, the guards guarding here must be warriors from Yan State, while the ritual officials here must be selected from Chen State, and even those responsible for the car driving must be the drivers of Xiliang State.
Wen Zhenggong added another sentence at this time: "However, although they disagree and think that the article is too simple, they also like it."
If you have some praise, it is worthy of fun.
If you just criticize such articles, it will appear to be a little smaller and everyone thinks it is good, but you say it is useless, which is something that affects your reputation.
But when you have some praise and criticize it for a few more words, it becomes fair.
Yansheng Gong nodded: "I want to recommend each scholar, what do you think of the public?"
The seven great masters looked at each other.
In fact, this idea is not only Yan Shenggong, but even they agree with it.
The responsibilities of the Yansheng Gong Mansion are in addition to sacrifices and encouragement to learn. If this article is implemented in each study, it can make scholars achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is of great benefit to the Yansheng Gong Mansion. The more scholars there are in the world, the more prosperous the education will be. The more prosperous the sages will have.
Wen Zheng said righteously: "I am afraid of it, but if the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth."
Yan Shenggong nodded.
Yes, one article needs to be promoted to various studies. So how can the person who writes this article be a fledgling boy?
Yansheng Gong must first correct the author's status before the article can be implemented, otherwise it will be opposed by various countries.
"Just..." Wen Zhenggong looked at Yan Shenggong deeply, looked like he wanted to speak but stopped, swallowed gently, and finally knocked him down: "I'm afraid that all countries will criticize you."
Yan Shenggong said expressionlessly: "Then, we will choose thirty children of all generations, choose great scholars to teach each one, observe the results, and then make a conclusion."
The seventh prince nodded, thinking that this method was the safest.
In fact, this is the so-called experiment in later generations. Mengsheng, who has not yet been taught, was divided into two classes, and taught according to their aptitude. One of the classes uses the Three Character Classic to teach, and see if these Three Character Classics are really effective.
If the results are obvious, even if countries complain, it will be difficult to publicly object.
But if there is no results, this matter will naturally be given up.
After saying this, Yan Shenggong suddenly said, "Are you ready for the eulogy of Zhongyi Hou?"
"It has been prepared and is jointly polished by sixteen great scholars."
Yan Shenggong expressed his satisfaction. Although Zhongyi Hou was a native of Dachen, he represented the spirit of the Han Dynasty. All countries promoted this Zhongyi Hou, and even Chu and Yan State had special sacrificial activities. After all, the word Zhongyi was vigorously promoted by the royal family of various countries.
