One and a half months later, Donglin Academy also ushered in the busiest day every two years. That was when many academies who thought they were qualified came to challenge the title of the best academy in the world. Although Donglin Academy was already famous.
It has held the title of "No. 1 in the world" for decades, and has slowly begun to show some signs of decline. However, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it still maintains an extremely strong position.
At this time, the scene in Donglin Academy was definitely not as messy as the Tianchang Academy where Lin Fengjin was before. All daily life was as usual, calm as before, showing the demeanor of a famous family. And when the famous teachers from other academies led the team,
After arriving with his disciples, Donglin Academy was very calm.
Just sending out a great scholar to greet them seemed to be a great honor. Only when the other three major academies arrived, two great scholars were dispatched, which was already extraordinary. As for those hidden sages who guard the fate of the world's literary and ink
People of this level have not moved at all.
Lin Fengjin originally thought that this grand event had nothing to do with him, but he was simply called away before the competition started. Why? It turned out that it was his "Wind and Rain" couplet that caused it
thing.
We are all scholars, and what we pay attention to is all-round development. We can't just start competing with each other in martial arts and show off our ferocity. Therefore, it is customary to have a literary meeting before the competition begins. As the saying goes, martial arts is second to none, and literary competitions are not second to none.
Without No. 1, the affairs of this literary meeting cannot be like that in martial arts, where it is clear whether a mule or a horse is drawn out and beaten.
And the literary meeting cannot be like the National Science and Technology Examination. Everyone should be quiet and write dozens of articles to choose the top candidate and the second overall winner. Too much time is wasted, so the competition is nothing more than debates and couplets.
, poetry.
And these things are not something that can be achieved through hard work alone. What matters is talent and talent. Just like the examination of candidates, it is not uncommon for people in their seventies or eighties to succeed in the examination and become officials by relying on hard work and perseverance. However,
Among the great poets of the past dynasties, it is rare for anyone to be a late bloomer. Someone of seventy or eighty years old suddenly comes out with a famous poem, so Donglin Academy has been suppressed in this regard for several consecutive years, and it is quite shameful.
Although this matter may not necessarily affect the final ranking of No. 1 in the world, after all, the right or wrong of the truth ultimately depends on whose fist is bigger, but for the academy leaders who are used to being No. 1 in the world, it always feels very...
I was a little angry and wanted a good start, so I called Lin Fengjin over.
At this time, Lin Fengjin had been fully investigated by the academy's senior officials, and they spoke highly of him. In the past, many people believed that Lin Fengjin had copied Fengyu Yilian from other places. Now, at least 80% of them believe
People believe that Lin Fengjin wrote this wonderful couplet himself.
Therefore, at the academy literary meeting before the competition, Lin Fengjin was called over by Mr. Hai without any psychological preparation and asked him to attend the meeting. However, considering that Lin Fengjin had been there for so long, it was nothing special.
His work came out, so the academy that participated in the cultural fair did not place great hopes on him, but had already arranged a number of related seed players.
Therefore, after Lin Fengjin learned that he was called by the Wenhui, he didn't really take it as the same thing. He estimated that he was just like a "spare tire" and "jack", sitting on
It was enough to take advantage of the situation there, rely on the remaining power of the "Wind and Rain" couplet to show off, and get to know the people. However, after Lin Fengjin went there, he realized that his idea was a little naive.
According to the usual practice, neither the literary meeting nor the academy competition will be held inside Donglin Academy, because the statue of Mencius in Donglin Academy exudes its majesty all the time, and the scholars of this academy are here.
Under its influence, people will naturally become pure and righteous and quickly enter the best state, while other scholars in the academy will become upset and agitated and weakened a lot.
Therefore, in order to prevent others from gossiping, the places where the literary conferences and competitions were held were all in the square outside the entrance of Donglin Academy. It is extremely spacious and the floors have been renovated and are all inlaid with black water-polished marble.
It is very luxurious, surrounded by dense trees and fragrant flowers. The ten-meter-long statue of Confucius on the square stands majestically and makes people admire.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing at this time is the famous couplet on both sides of the archway of Donglin Academy: "Thousands of ancient and modern books disappear forever, and a window of dim dawn sends the fleeting years away." I don't know when it was removed.
, and the newly written couplet is written in calligraphy like an iron hook and a silver stroke, unusually vigorous:
"The sound of wind, rain, and reading are all in my ears."
"Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs should be concerned about everything."
Anyone who hears this stormy couplet will be amazed at the hint of pretense and arrogance expressed in this couplet. It is indeed very similar to the style of the people of Donglin Academy. At this time, they even saw it being written.
When I came out and hung it on the portal of Donglin Academy, I suddenly felt that this couplet was really the finishing touch, and the external image of Donglin Academy became taller, fuller and more complete after receiving this couplet.
Lin Fengjin was following a group of senior fellow apprentices at this time, and shrank back very cautiously. He seemed to be looking at his nose and his heart with a straight face, but he still couldn't help but take a sneak peek at his "masterpiece".
I can't help but feel proud in my heart.
At this time, people from all the major academies came to the square. The cultural gathering was an elegant and sacred event. The most that a loser like Tianchang Academy could do was take a bath, burn incense, and fast. But for someone who is the leader in the world,
For Donglin Academy, it is impossible to be so hasty. In addition to those entering the venue, the other teachers and students also asked to watch and cheer near the square.
The first thing that appeared was actually two elephants, which were called the guiding signs. Then a white elephant covered in gold and jade jewels slowly appeared. This was a precious elephant, a prelude to clearing the way. Then, it was followed by
It is a large sedan chair carried by thirty-six people. The curtain of the sedan chair is opened, and inside is the sacred portrait of the ancestor of Confucius. Then there is a large sedan chair carried by twenty-four people. There are
It is a portrait of Mencius.
Immediately afterwards, there were at least seventeen or eighteen large sedan chairs that appeared slowly, and they filed out. These large sedan chairs were carried by twelve people. This does not mean that the sedan chairs are particularly heavy, but to show respect - everyone can
It is understood to be similar to the current welcome sedan with a displacement of 6.0 and above - the portraits placed inside are the portraits of the founders of several academies participating in the meeting, to show respect for each other, whether they are Mohism, Yin Yang, Taoism, Legalism, etc.
Etc., as long as they are the founders of the academy or famous figures, their portraits will almost appear.
"Pah, pah, pah...", as the four solemn-faced concierges at the front of the honor guard waved their silent whips, the deep and solemn sound of the trumpets sounded, and the honor guards of the saints set off, and the paddock stopped for a week.
Then, another 128 Tianjing boys performed martial arts dance and Wende dance. Flags and umbrellas were displayed on all sides. The dance movements were either vigorous and powerful, or elegant and solemn.
Finally, the chiefs or representatives of the major academies came out, respectfully presented a glass of sacrificial wine, bowed in greeting, and then took out the sacrificial inscriptions they had written, recited and burned them to show respect for the ancestors. After offering the wine,
The chimes around them chimed, the sound of silk and bamboo rang out, and the smell of ambergris began to burn in the two large cauldrons next to them that were difficult for one person to hug.
At this time, people from the major academies sat down in order according to the pre-arranged positions. After sitting down, if you look down from a high place, you can see that the major academies participating in the meeting are all of their own, but Donglin Academy is
It is located under the statue of Confucius, sitting in a long row, as if it is the leadership seat on the top rostrum, and the several major academies below are also clearly separated, as if they are the masses sitting below to listen to the report, from the momentum
It's more than a step lower.
Lin Fengjin had extraordinary eyesight. Although he was sitting in the back row, he took a peek and found that Shanyan Academy was indeed present. Yujia Baishui was also present, but he didn't know the Pan Jue he was talking about who looked so awesome.
Where is Senior Brother Mingpan? Lin Fengjin was also surprised to find that several hostile looks were directed at him. When did he attract such hatred?
As soon as the essay meeting came, the first essay question was given by the top essayist of the previous session, the second best, and the third best, and it began to enter the fierce debate stage. The words were foaming at the mouth, which made people feel the power of a verbal battle. Such a move
After some debate, Donglin Academy had a slight upper hand, which was a rare good start.
But at this time, when the other academies discovered this, they began to join forces to attack Donglin Academy. One said that your previous arguments were flawed, and the other said that your arguments were completely fabricated, and they were all based on quotations from scriptures.
That makes perfect sense. However, the people at Donglin Academy are not economical either. They seize the little advantage they have and refuse to give in, without even revealing any flaws.
At this time, the scholars in other academies were also a little impatient. One of them made a gesture. This was the agreed meaning, which was to change tactics. Among the Legalist Rule of Law academies, there were already people
Pay attention to the people in front: Say something to avoid their sharp edges and attack where they must be saved.
In fact, this is nothing, but the problem is that while the man was talking, he looked at Lin Fengjin. Although he was far away, there was a burning hatred in his eyes. Lin Fengjin had excellent eyesight and saw this.
With everything in sight, I cursed in my heart. I didn’t kill your father, nor did I steal your wife. Why are you looking at me like that? (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
