Chapter 62 The Book
Lin Yanchao heard Chen Xinggui say this and thought for a while: "I haven't decided on this sutra yet. Let me think twice before replying to Brother Chen."
Chen Xinggui showed a very understanding expression and nodded, "Okay, Brother Lin, just say it at that time. My friends and I happened to be managing the Spring and Autumn Period, and they have the name of the Spring and Autumn Society. There are many disciples in the club who are in the Shangshe and Zhongshe. They work hard on their own studies on weekdays. They only gather together to discuss and discuss when they are preaching. Sometimes they can get the guidance of the mountain chief himself. Do you know that the mountain chief was the Five Classics and the whole province was the best in the Spring and Autumn Period."
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. He admired the knowledge of the mountain leader and hoped to get his guidance.
Lin Yanchao was now sure that Chen Xinggui was indeed an invitation, but after thinking about it, he said, "Thank you very much. Brother Chen respects me so much and invites you warmly. I will reply to you after thinking about it carefully."
Chen Xinggui smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Lin, don't worry, there is still half a month left."
After Chen Xinggui left, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but figure out what Chen Xinggui was doing. Is this what he meant to win over? "Is it a trap? Or a show of kindness? Lin Yanchao thought to himself that he was a poor family and there seemed to be nothing worth framed by the other party, but showing goodwill is not enough.
After Chen Xinggui left, Lin Yanchao felt deeply lack of common sense. He actually made a difficult decision to choose which scripture in the Five Classics.
As the saying goes, there is a specialty in arts. During the Han Dynasty, there was a doctor of the Five Classics, and one doctor of the scriptures was assigned to teach disciples based on family law.
At that time, most scholars only treated one classic, but there were very few people who treated both classics. Xu Shen, the author of the literary interpretation of the characters, said that he was well-versed in the Five Classics. Ma Rong, a master of classics, praised him for his achievements in classics. In addition, there were not many people who could be regarded as treating both the Five Classics.
When the Song and Ming dynasties were in the Song and Ming dynasties, more and more people studied the classics. But even though the great scholars at that time dared to speak and understand the Five Classics, if they were teaching their disciples, they would only dare to choose one.
Therefore, Lin Yanchao wanted to select this sutra, preferably one of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Book of Songs, especially the Book of Songs. Lin Liao treated him very well. If he learned the Book of Songs himself, he would definitely teach him all his money. In addition, Shan Chang and the Shan Lang might not be able to teach him the other three sutras.
Lin Yanchao did not want to manage the Spring and Autumn Period and the Book of Songs, so he wanted to manage the Shangshu.
In his previous life, I happened to read articles by several masters of Chinese studies studying Shangshu. I had some of the experiences and opinions of the ancients in this era. As for the other four classics, he could not even touch them.
There is another reason. In the dark, he has such a love for the Shangshu.
Confucius once said this on the Six Classics, "When you enter the country, your teachings can be seen. Your kindness and integrity are taught by poetry; you are distant and far-reaching, and you are taught by calligraphy; you are broad and easy to teach; you are quiet and subtle, and you are taught by easy to teach; you are respectful, frugal and solemn, and you are taught by etiquette. You are taught by spring and autumn."
The general idea is that when you go to a country and look at the customs, you can tell the country's education. Being gentle, gentle, simple and honest is the result of the teaching of the Book of Songs; being well-versed in ancient times is the result of the teaching of the Book of Songs; being broad-minded and open-minded is the result of the teaching of the "Music"; if it is clean and quiet and insightful, it is the result of the teaching of the "Yi"; being dignified and respectful is the result of the teaching of the "Li"; being good at word and narration is the result of the teaching of the "Spring and Autumn Annals".
"Book of Shu" is Shangshu. The character Shang is the word Shang, which means ancient books and records it from the three dynasties. Zhu Xi wrote the preface to the doctrine of the mean, and the sixteen-character heart passage that followed Confucian sages is the Great Yu Mo in Shangshu.
As Confucius said, reading the Book of Documents can make you miss the notice.
Lin Yanchao decided not to rush to draw a conclusion, and he should dig more information.
Lin Yanchao first went directly to the bookstore and borrowed a list of test questions for the country's Fuzhou Prefecture. In this list, the list of Chinese-style people with the same list of Chinese names, ages, and origins also records which books were selected as the scriptures for the candidates' examination.
Lin Yanchao finished reading this question catalog and summarized it. The most common people who learned poetry in our mansion, Spring and Autumn, Yi, followed by the fewer books of etiquette, and the fewest people in the mansion. Lin Yanchao couldn't help but want to curse his mother. There were so few students who took Shangshu as the scriptures, which shows that there were very few teachers in the mansion who could teach Shangshu.
Whether to follow the trend and change the position, the Book of Songs seems to be good. Didn’t Confucius say that the three hundred and one sentence of poetry can be concealed without evil thoughts. The general meaning is three hundred poems, and one sentence summarizes it, which means that the three views are correct.
Spring and Autumn are also good. Confucius practiced Spring and Autumn, and used subtle words to make the rioters afraid!
But after thinking about it, Lin Yanchao still couldn't bear to give up Shangshu, but there was no teacher who could guide him and was proficient in Shangshu, which was useless. Forget it, it was still half a month before he could determine this sutra. Lin Yanchao wanted to ask others more opinions and then decide. After returning to the house, most of them did not sleep. Lin Yanchao's grades were sometimes high and sometimes low, and now everyone treated Lin Yanchao as a weirdo, and they couldn't figure out what his real power was and whether he was cheating.
In the name of the Sheshe, only Yu Qingzhou and Lin Yanchao had a good relationship after having a close relationship that night. Lin Yanchao took the opportunity to ask him if he could choose the Shangshu to write this sutra. Yu Qingzhou was surprised and asked: "Why do you want to choose the Shangshu?"
Lin Yanchao did not hesitate and said three words shamelessly: "I like it! Haha!" Yu Qingzhou scolded: "It's not that I like it or not. The disciples of the academy usually only treat the "Spring and Autumn Annals" and the "Book of Songs". Unless you have learned by yourself, or have other scholars before coming to the academy, you will generally not treat other sutras."
Lin Yanchao didn't say anything. Yu Qingzhou lowered his voice and said, "Why are you so casual? You tried the second place in the last monthly class. If you all got the results, you would have a lot of hope to go from the outer class to the middle class, and from the outer class to the inner class student. But next month, if you choose the Book of Documents as the sutra, who will teach you how to do the sutra, then there will be no chance."
Lin Yanchao said immediately: "What if there is more money for students in the outside class and students in the inside class, I won't believe it. Once I enter the middle class, I will be smarter. It's not the same where to study." Yu Qingzhou shook his head and said: "You really don't know the rules. You think there is no difference between students in the outside class and students in the inside class. Let me tell you the truth. For the past 100 years, no student in the outside class has participated in the child swab, and he can get the precedent for scholars."
"Can't students from outside classes become scholars?"
Yu Qingzhou nodded and said, "It's very difficult. Usually, I'll lose the grade in the county exam. There are few grades in the palace exam. Even if I'm lucky enough to pass the grade in the palace exam, how can I pass the college exam? Yanchao, you have to know that the promotion and restitution in the boy exam is ten times more difficult than the three children of the academy. In the academy, you can't even become an internal class student. How can you expect to rely on the Chinese exam? Once you go back to the house as soon as possible!"
Lin Yanchao was slightly surprised. Yu Qingzhou sat cross-legged on the bed and said in a senior tone: "You know that it's difficult now, so it doesn't matter if you take the New Year class, but the monthly class in half a month and the quarter class in one and a half months will not be missed for you, as you still have hope of entering the inner room."
After hearing Yu Qingzhou's words, Huang Biyou, who was standing by, also came over and said, "Brother Yanchao, if your next monthly class is still ranked the same as this New Year class, even if you do well in the quarter class, you will not have the chance to enter the inner room."
Speaking of this, Huang Biyou said proudly: "I had known that I had made a bet with Brother Lin this time. Whoever lost would write two thousand words of submission."
‘Then let’s compete again for this monthly class.’ Lin Yanchao is quite serious and authentic.
Huang Biyou blushed when he heard this, and Yu Qingzhou said, "Brother Huang, don't be cowardly, you are the eighth place in the house this time."
"Hmph, who is the same as him?" After saying that, Huang Biyou left with his sleeves.
When a few people heard this, they all laughed in a low voice.
Yu Qingzhou looked at Lin Yanchao's confident look and thought to himself that this kid had no confidence. But he didn't have the confidence to ask Huang Biyou to make a bet.
"It's better for Brother Ye, stay out of the matter." Yu Ziyou said with a smile.
Ye Xianggao smiled, said nothing, and continued reading.
When Yu Ziyou saw Ye Xianggao's arrogant look, he immediately said to the others in the tone of a senior: "Instead of arguing about these, it is better to spend more time studying. Those disciples from the middle and upper classes will not wait for you."
‘Of course Brother Ye is not here, it’s easy for you to enter the inner room.’
For those who are the best in these three exams, it is no difficulty to enter the inner room. After Yu Ziyou's words, everyone felt uncomfortable when they thought of being occupied by a place like this.
Why can this person get the first place as soon as he enters the outing house? Why does he have such good grades? This is what other people's children are said to be, and no one will like it.
Therefore, Yu Ziyou's words were quite successful in inciting them.
Ye Xianggao of course heard it and snorted: "Brother Yu, I heard that after every season, there are only two disciples who enter the inner room after the season exam. In this way, even if you are the second in the outer room, it will be useless if you are the second in the outer room, you are not lucky. I think you are better at working harder than others. Besides, you may not be able to be ranked second in the outer room in the end."
