Besides, disciples of Dharma teachers often participate in this kind of "traveling around the world" activities. If you neglect others today, it will be your disciple's turn to be treated poorly tomorrow.
This time, almost the entire academy was mobilized. Not only was the current mountain chief Shen Ke as busy as anything, but even brother Nai Shen Dao, who was frail and sick and had been idle for a long time, also came forward and patrolled everywhere in the academy.
All the teachers and students of the academy had a day off for general cleaning. Even the stone slabs outside the courtyard gate were washed clean by the mountain spring water. Many flowers were transplanted into the academy, which can be said to be completely new.
.
Lin Fengjin had a great headache doing these chores. Fortunately, he was very popular. Even the disciples of the Dong clan had a very good impression of him. Therefore, he was obviously a leader among the outer disciples, so it was his turn.
The jobs in his name are often done by grateful classmates who have received his help.
Lin Fengjin did not refuse the show of kindness from his classmates. He smiled and said thank you, and then said that he would treat him to dinner in the evening. The group of classmates were already familiar with each other, and he did not feel that he was like other children from rich families showing off their wealth.
I happily agreed.
The next day, disciples from major academies arrived in droves. Most of the disciples following this trip were outstanding disciples of their own sect. However, among this group of scholars, the majority were from the Confucian Donglin Academy.
, and then there are the disciples of the Confucian Hengqu Academy.
After questioning, it was learned that after the disciples from Fei Gong Academy and Wude Academy disembarked, they turned back and headed there because they heard that the Chu Ting City in the neighboring county by the sea was very majestic and had earth veins running through it.
However, these are all superficial phenomena. The actual truth is that disciples from several academies got together and argued and argued fiercely. It happened that there were several talented people among them, all outstanding figures. No one was convinced.
Who, even Xue Zheng, who was in the same line, couldn't hold it back, so it was very unpleasant, so they parted ways.
When a guest comes to your door, according to the rules, it is natural for the host to come out to accompany the guest. There is also an issue of identity equality. Even if we take the current terms, even if Tianchang Academy is just a private college, and Donglin Academy,
Non-Government academies and other colleges are at the level of Peking University and Tsinghua University, and there is no need for the dean to come out to accompany and receive a student professor.
In addition, all the major academies want to show fairness, so although most of the disciples they lead are internal disciples, there are still disciples from the outer sect. After all, the financial support given by the outer sect disciples to the academy at this time is an important thing that cannot be ignored.
link.
Therefore, when receiving these guests, Tianchang Academy also adheres to the principle of receiving Xuezheng. The elite disciples who entered the Donglin Academy were naturally Shen Gu, Zheng Gong, Lu Ping, Ou Qi and others to receive them.
The outer disciples of Donglin Academy who came with them were selected, but no matter whether they were academics or scholars, they all felt that Lin Fengjin was the best candidate to come forward to receive Lin Fengjin because he was so kind and kind.
I also wanted to see what the elites of Donglin Academy were like, so I happily went there.
The etiquette of meeting scholars is very complicated, and the subsequent exchanges between scholars naturally involve visiting the mountains and rivers, reciting poems and composing poems. The scenery around Tianchang Academy can be distinguished, except for the lychees blooming on both sides of the Qingxi River.
Beyond the flowers, the Xishan Huiting Pavilion behind it looks quite peaceful, so it’s natural to go there for some fun.
The mountain road up Xishan Mountain is not steep. In addition, Tianchang Academy has been here for forty years and has also maintained the scenery. Therefore, along the way, you can see the clear stream beside the mountain road, the interlaced pines and cypresses on the roadside, and the singing of birds in the empty mountain.
, which also feels refreshing.
When the Donglin disciples who were traveling with him were climbing, even though they were tired from the journey, they were all walking vigorously, giving directions and chatting and laughing. After Lin Fengjin saw him, he immediately knew that some of the rumors in the market were true.
If you think that the nerds carefully cultivated by major academies are just nerds who can only immerse themselves in studying, then you are really wrong. Especially a major academy like Donglin Academy, which is one of the best among Confucian schools, must pay more attention to the legacy of ancient times.
The rules passed down are passed down.
There is a saying called "Extend generals and enter prime ministers", which is the ultimate requirement for scholars! If you go outwards, you can expand the borders for generals, and if you enter the center, you can rule the world for good prime ministers!
From ancient times to the present, it has been stipulated that a gentleman should practice the six arts.
Namely: etiquette, music, shooting, imperial control, calligraphy, and number!
Among them, not to mention the four arts of etiquette, music, calligraphy and arithmetic, the assessment of the two arts of archery and imperialism alone is very difficult.
The assessment standards for shooting are divided into five types from easy to difficult: Bai Ya, Shen Lian, Yan Zhu, Xiang Chi, and Well Instrument.
White arrow: The arrow must penetrate the target and the arrowhead turns white, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful.
Participate in the chain: one arrow is placed in front, and the three arrows in the back are continuous. The arrows belong to each other. If the arrows are linked together, it is the so-called three consecutive shots.
Note: For a fast arrow, you need to bend the bow and set the arrow to hit the target within one breath.
Xiangchi: The minister and the king shoot, the minister and the king stand side by side, and the king retreats by one foot.
Jingyi: Four arrows are connected in a row, and the arrows are instantly drawn and shot four times in a row. The next arrow must hit the tail of the previous arrow!
According to ancient rituals, the emperor is testing the skill of driving a carriage, but now he is testing his riding skills!
The assessment standards for imperial examinations are also divided into five types from easy to difficult: singing and luan, chasing water chariot, crossing the king's table, dancing to cross the road, and chasing birds to the left.
Ming Heluan: When riding, you can control the mount so that the sound of its hooves corresponds to the beat of the music nearby.
Water Chariot: Riding a horse to gallop along a river bank that is only half a foot wide without falling into the water.
Guojunbiao: Even if you are running at high speed, you can still be polite and courteous when passing by your superior or teacher.
Wujiaoqu: While galloping at high speed, chop down eleven wooden stakes with an elegant dance-like posture, and drive freely at the same time.
Bird-by-bird left: You must shoot the specified number of animals within the specified time, and you must use your left hand (non-dominant hand) to hunt during the mounted shooting process.
In the Great Academy, outstanding disciples still need to master the six arts while completing their studies before they can enter the academy.
After entering the room, you are qualified to teach the secrets of nourishing qi and try to echo the stars in the sky. As the saying goes:
The heaven and earth have righteousness, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds.
Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars.
To others, it is said to be vast and overwhelming.
The imperial road should be Qing Yi, Hanhe Tu Mingting.
When the time comes, we can see each other and draw pictures one by one.
The so-called Confucian cultivation of awe-inspiring Qi is just a name for a category, but the school of cultivating awe-inspiring Qi is the most widespread and has the most practitioners.
Just like the zhenqi in martial arts novels, if it is broken down, there are other ice zhenqi, purple cloud magical power, etc.
As far as Lin Fengjin's knowledge at this time is concerned, the Legalist's Qi-nurturing technique is called "Law of the World", and the most famous Qi-nurturing technique of Bailu Academy is the "Mindful of Fish" method¨
Only when Qi-nurturing skills reach a certain level can one be qualified to nourish hope. Only when one is successful in cultivating hope can it be said to be the trilogy of establishing virtue, meritorious service and reputation.
To establish virtue means to create a law and to benefit the people; to establish meritorious service means to save people from disasters and help people in time; to establish words means to get the key points of what you say and to be able to spread the theory. To put it simply, it means to be a good person, do things and learn knowledge.
At this time, Lin Fengjin looked at these disciples from Donglin Academy. It was obvious that they were very proficient in the six arts and had even learned Qi-nurturing Kung Fu. Judging from their high spirits, Shen Gu, Zheng Gong and others were originally considered The elites on one side, especially Shen Gu, have clearly reserved talents from Xirong Jinshenlu, but when compared, it is obvious that the two are not on the same level.
When we got to Xishan Mountain and sat down in the back pavilion, the servants accompanying us came over to make tea. It was still early and it was not convenient to set up a banquet, so we served lychees, a local specialty.
As a landowner, Tianchang Academy naturally used the lychee treasures to entertain guests this time: "Green in the West Garden", which was very precious. During the David Dynasty and the Longyou Period, this lychee was so famous that it caused trouble Corrupt officials harassed and harassed people, and the people were overwhelmed and angrily cut down all the green lychee trees. As a result, only two trees behind Xiyuan Temple survived.
Although this tragic incident happened hundreds of years ago, the green lychees now hanging in the West Garden are extremely precious because it is not easy to transplant. After listening to the introduction, the students at Donglin Academy couldn't help but sigh a few times, "tyranny" Stronger than a tiger."
It was originally June or July, and even though the mountain breeze was cool, I was still feeling hot all over from walking. After soaking in the cold mountain spring for a long time, it was just the right time to eat these lychees.
Lin Fengjin had already eaten enough of the famous green lychees, so he didn't have much appetite. However, the West Garden's green lychees are quite famous, and they do have their own uniqueness.
At first glance, the fruit is bright red and purple when ripe, but there is a green line that runs straight through the bottom like an emerald. The fruit pedicle has a small fruit like a mung bean; the fruit shoulders are raised on both sides of the pedicle, and the side with the small fruit is slightly higher. , is called the dragon head, and the other side is called the phoenix tail. When the fruit is ripe, it is red and purple, with a green line running straight through the bottom, hence the name "Hanglu".
After peeling off the skin, the flesh is tender, crisp, sweet and fragrant. The special feature is that it condenses fat without spilling pulp. It is wrapped in gauze and the paper remains dry overnight. Therefore, it has long been recorded in classics: "It is as crisp as a pear when hanging green. , the slurry is gone, remove the shell and keep it in your arms, it will not change for three days.”
A great scholar from the previous dynasty even wrote in praise: the shell is like red silk, the membrane is like purple silk, the flesh is as white as ice and snow, and the slurry is as sweet as cheese...
At this time, the mountain peaks are continuous, the sun is shining, there are clear springs, and there are delicious food in front of us. More importantly, a group of scholars are gathering here, so instead of reciting two poems and singing two lyrics, then It's really weird.
However, Lin Fengjin did not intend to be in the limelight, at least not in a place like this.
The reason is also very simple~ In the current general environment, Lin Fengjin's own strength is indeed too weak. Even if he plagiarizes and recites some famous poems that will last forever, it will definitely not be difficult to detect him once he interacts with others. As for the rest of the classics and history, they are a fool! The extra characters are also written in a mess, so what's the use?
