Bang!
"What a virtue of husband and wife, the head of the code of conduct, the beginning of the king's teachings. Your Highness King Jing's words are very good and hit the nail on the head. If a poem like "Guanju" cannot be the first poem, what poem can be the first poem?! King Jing's attainments in the Book of Songs are already ahead of the others."
As soon as King Jing finished speaking, Ma Huating, the lecturer in King Jing's palace, excitedly slammed the table, praised King Jing's explanation, and highly praised King Jing's attainments in the Book of Songs. He said that King Jing was already at the forefront of the Book of Songs.
Damn it, if you want to flatter someone, just flatter that person, why are you banging the table?!
It gave me a shock.
Is what King Jing said really that good?! Do you have to be so excited? It's like you've heard heavenly music.
Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes and glanced at the excited Ma Huating with dissatisfaction. "You slammed the table too suddenly. Could you give me some buffer time? King Jing had just finished speaking and you slammed it, catching people off guard at all."
"Your Highness King Jing has a point. Husband and wife are the fundamental principles of human relations. In ancient times, schools, academies, and private schools were established to clarify human relations. If human relations are clear to the upper class, the people will be close to the lower class, and the country will be governed and the world will be peaceful. The Guanju is the most exemplary poem in the fundamental principles of husband and wife. It can influence the world, educate the villagers, and stabilize the country. The Guanju is the first poem in the Book of Songs, which is in accordance with the will of heaven, the will of the people, and the trend of the times."
Lord Zhang, the chief lecturer of Prince Jing's Mansion, was also stroking his beard. He first glanced at Prince Yu, then looked at Prince Jing with a smile and nodded approvingly.
Old Master Zhang was very satisfied with King Jing's performance today, especially King Jing's answer just now, which made Old Master Zhang very happy.
King Jing is the most distinguished student of Mr. Zhang, and also the student that Mr. Zhang is most proud of.
He is of noble status but humble, and respects teachers and education.
He is quick-witted, diligent and conscientious.
He is young but mature, steady and calm.
He deserves to be getting closer and closer to that position...
Having such a student is enough for my life.
When he thought about the possibility of becoming a great imperial teacher in the future, Zhang Laos heart was burning with excitement...
Mr. Zhang is not greedy for wealth and fame, nor does he pursue high positions and high salaries. He just likes fame and reputation. For example, he is happier to hear people call him a famous teacher than to hear someone call him Mr. Zhang.
"Doctor Yang has studied "Guanju" for several months and concluded that it is the words of King Jing. What do you think?" Elder Liu Boqing smiled slightly and asked Doctor Yang.
“Your Highness Prince Jing’s words make sense, but…” Yang Guoliang first nodded and praised Prince Jing, then shook his head slightly, fell silent, and turned his gaze to the window. His eyes were deep and wise, as if he had traveled through thousands of years.
"Please teach me, sir."
King Jing stood up, bowed, and humbly asked Yang Guoliang for advice.
"In fact, it is remarkable that Your Highness Prince Jing can see that Guanju is a virtuous couple, which is the head of discipline and the beginning of royal teachings." Yang Guoliang said to Prince Jing with a look of approval.
"Please enlighten me, sir." King Jing had a look of curiosity on his face and spoke sincerely.
"It's not really an education, these are just some immature ideas. Please feel free to give your comments." Yang Guoliang smiled and shook his head, then bowed to everyone calmly and calmly, as if he was standing on a mountain top and giving orders to the world.
For a moment, Yang Guoliang on the podium had an extraordinary demeanor.
"The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The fair lady is the ideal match for the gentleman... Common people think this is a poem about love among the peasants, but wise people can see that it is a poem about the virtue of husband and wife. Yang has studied "Guanju" for more than a month and fortunately got a glimpse of another way."
Yang Guoliang stood on the podium and said with high spirits.
A glimpse into another way.
Yang Guoliang spoke slowly and softly, but every word he said was powerful and thought-provoking.
This aroused the interest of everyone present, and they all looked at Yang Guoliang on the podium with burning eyes.
Yang Guoliang really enjoyed this feeling.
"When I read "Guanju", I found that the whole poem is full of the style of a king and the virtue of a queen!!!" Yang Guoliang said as he put the "Book of Songs" in his hand hard on the table with a serious face.
"The demeanor of a king, the virtue of a queen?"
Everyone was shocked by the point of view put forward by Yang Guoliang, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Yes, this is the demeanor of a king and the virtue of a concubine." Yang Guoliang was very satisfied with everyone's surprise. He smiled slightly and nodded vigorously, then continued:
"Guanju is the Guanju in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Guanguanjujiu, on the island of the river, a beautiful lady, a gentleman's ideal match... ... What is a lady? A lady is a title for a woman who has not yet married. It refers to the wife of King Wen, when Tai Si was a virgin. A gentleman refers to King Wen. Jujiu is the king's ju. Birds are sincere but different. The king's ju attaches great importance to feelings. They have a fixed partner and do not mess around. The male and female birds live together and respect each other like guests, which means that there is a difference between men and women. A beautiful lady refers to the virtue of the queen and the concubine Guanju. Guanguanjujiu, on the island of the river. A beautiful lady, a gentleman's ideal match... ... It is said that when King Wen of Zhou heard the singing of a female bird, Guanju, by the river, he thought of finding a wife whose character was like that of the female bird, who could live with him till old age and help him to manage his family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.
"'The water chestnuts are uneven, flowing left and right'. What is water chestnut? It is a kind of water grass, and it is a kind of water grass that can be used for sacrifice. The state affairs are sacrifices and wars. Since ancient times, sacrifices have been the top priority of the state. Through various sacrificial activities, people can be educated to be grateful to their ancestors, heaven and earth, ghosts and gods. When people understand gratitude, they will have awe. With awe, they will know how to be filial to their parents, respect teachers and education, be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and society can be peaceful. The word 'flow' means 'ask', and 'left and right' means help. Who will pick the water chestnuts for sacrifice? Only fair ladies can do it. Only fair ladies with virtue can pick water chestnuts. If you are not, then if you pick water chestnuts to sacrifice to your ancestors, your ancestors will not come to enjoy them. The same is true for King Wen of Zhou to govern the country well, so he wants to find a fair lady, a virtuous concubine, to help him sacrifice to heaven and earth, govern the country, and pacify the world."
"'A beautiful lady, I seek her day and night, but I cannot find her. I think about her day and night. I am so carefree, tossing and turning'. What does this mean? It means that King Wen of Zhou was thinking about finding such a virtuous concubine whether he was awake or asleep. When he couldn't find one, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, constantly reflecting on himself, finding his own shortcomings, and correcting them. This shows that King Wen of Zhou was sincerely seeking a virtuous concubine for the people of the world to help him govern the country, manage his family, and bring peace to the world."
"The following part, 'The uneven water chestnuts, picked on both sides. The graceful ladies, accompanied by the zither and the harp,' refers to the fact that the empress and other women went to pick water chestnuts and sent them to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to the ancestors. Because the empress and other women were very virtuous, when she went to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, King Wen of Zhou praised her virtue by playing the zither and the harp."
"That's it. Guan Ju and Lin Zhi's words are the style of a king and the virtue of a queen. They are the style that King Wen used to guide the world and correct the people. Therefore, they are used by the people in the village and the country... This is Yang Mou's slightly immature and humble opinion. I hope you can correct me."
After Yang Guoliang finished speaking, he put away the "Book of Songs" and bowed leisurely to the people in the audience. His words were heard loudly in the room.
