The four drums come in, and the dawn unwinds.
It was not until the beginning of the application period that Cui Xie copied the three questions of "Linzhi", "My Son of God" and "Many Destiny" that had already been printed in the PDF on the draft paper, revised it according to the requirements of this proposition, and copied it on the official test paper After the first two questions, only one question, "Mandate of Heaven," is left, and it will be transcribed when the question "Incomprehensible is in place, and the people's interests are in place" is completed.
The title comes from "Tai Ya·Fake Music", the first sentence is "Fake music gentleman, showing virtue." In "The Doctrine of the Mean", it is written that "Jia Le is a gentleman, the constitution makes virtue", and Jia Le means beauty and happiness. However, if the ancients wrote wrong words, they were called tongji, and later generations could not easily correct them. Even a sage like Zhu Xi could only add the correct words to the back and reinterpret the poetic meaning.
Since the creation of Sage Zhu, the original texts and prefaces of the Book of Songs have not been read seriously by the students of later generations, and they have been annotated according to the scriptures. The preface of the poem says that "False Music" is a poem praising King Cheng, but Zhu Zi said that "False Music" is "probably" a ritual. If you write a poem of thanks, then when they write an essay, they have to follow the idea of a poem of ceremonies, and they also need to contact the above to write a sentence or two along with the "Fuyi".
"Falcony" is a very pure and simple poem of "bin corpse", which is to invite the former king to enjoy the sacrificial food, and to bless the royal family.
However, the public corpse in the festival is not a real corpse, but refers to the ancestral temple sacrifice, designated by the King of Zhou to play the role of the former king, accept the sacrificial ceremony on behalf of the former king, bless the royal family and the nobles of the world, and the sacrifice is completed when the public corpse is raised. The corpse refers to its identity - it is not a human being but the corpse of the ancestors.
The two poems "Falcony" and "False Music" are next to each other in the volume of "Daya". Song Confucians all thought that "False Music" was a tribute to the gentleman after the public corpse was sacrificed. May the king make his virtue shine, be solemn and majestic, and guide the world. poem. Although this poem mainly praises the king's "Jia Le", it also implies a bit of euphemism and persuasion. This gentle irony is in the last sentence "I don't understand the position, the people are the best."
The full text of this paragraph is: Zhi Gang Zhi Ji, Yan and friends. Bai Pi Qingshi, charming in the emperor. Do not understand the position, the people's wealth.
The friends among them do not refer to current friends, but to court officials. Baipi means princes, puzzling means not being lazy, and ying means rest. If the monarch can guide the four directions and make all the ministers depend on them, the ministers will naturally be submissive and love the emperor; if the cardinal and important ministers are in their positions, the ruler and the ministers will be handed over to each other, and they will be able to govern and harmonize with people; at this time, the people can rest in peace.
This sentence is exactly the meaning of euphemistically admonishing the monarch to be diligent in government affairs.
If you only want to be simple and smooth, you can follow the title text and write "the gentleman in ancient times did not neglect government affairs, so it is suitable for the people to rest", but writing this way is too bland, and the whole article is bound in "" Diligence" in the word. And breaking the topic is the general outline of the article. Once the topic is broken, it is difficult to expand the content of the article to the main theme of the entire poem.
And the real theme and program of this poem is not the satire of the last light sentence, but the first sentence of "fake a gentleman, show virtue", which is the first hymn to praise the monarch's virtue and government, and praise the blessing as a "public corpse". , I wish the gentleman a happy life.
How can we deduce the virtue of the gentleman from the comfort of the common people... Cui Xie wrote several "Jia Le" on the manuscript paper, and there was a vague idea of grasping the word "de" as a clue in his mind, but he couldn't String it together.
Time passed little by little, the supervisor had circled twice in front of him, and the sun was gradually slanting towards the roof of the examination shed. In order to prevent cheating in the examination room, if you can't finish the questions within the application time, you will not be given a chance to follow the candle. Only after finishing the questions, only one or a half-draft is left to transcribe.
If this article can't be written, then his exam will really become a "viewing field", just a three-day trip to spring! If he couldn't even finish the first scene, would he have the nerve to meet Xie Ying? A failed student who didn't finish the first round of the exam and Jin Yiwei's outstanding civil servants are too unsuitable!
The nib of his pen repeatedly traced the last word "Le" many times, and the ink was soaked into the wooden board. It wasn't until the scratch paper was wet that he woke up abruptly, picked up the scroll and blew it. The dark music word on the scroll was heavily imprinted in his eyes, and a sentence was drawn in the flash of lightning—
Musicians, virtues of China!
He was also thinking about how Le and De could get in touch, so he just got in touch!
Although this is the music of music, not the music of leisure music in poetry, but there is a sentence in "Book of Rites, Music" that "music people are also music". Music itself is the embodiment of the joy of people's hearts, and music is the essence of virtue. "A gentleman makes music through music" and uses music as the method of education. People are educated by music, and they can also subtly infect peaceful and submissive virtues.
A gentleman is beautiful and happy, with a glorious character. And the sound of virtue is made into music, and the people are influenced by music, educated and infected with the virtue of a gentleman, benevolence, filial piety, loyalty and obedience, and the country will be stable because of this, and the monarch will be protected against it. Praise the gentleman, make virtue manifest, and preserve the original intention of the world
The word "happy" is certain, and the article will come out!
Cui Xie threw the wet scrap paper aside, took out a new one and spread it in front of him, and started with the word "le" to break the title - "That is the great achievement of music, see the profound connotation of a gentleman!"
"Music is the flower of virtue." Musicalization is virtue. The people's sense of music and the way of Taoism, doesn't it reflect the virtuous virtue of a gentleman who is "incomprehensible"
After he wrote the "virtue of a gentleman", he directly began to talk about the method of music transformation: the gentleman transforms his own way into the music of peace and happiness, and the music contains the way of education, so that people can be at peace!
This kind of solemn music and music with the way of a gentleman circulated from the court to the four fields, and the music spread the king's heart and the king's government to the hearts of the people without hindrance, leading them to be kind; The greed and selfish desires in the heart make the world peaceful.
This is changing customs and habits, and this is the effect of educating with music.
In the first four comparisons, "Le" entered "Virtue", and how the "Jia Le" of the gentleman became the "pleasure" of the common people. The title sentence was spread to the main theme of the whole article. The last four comparisons will return from the poetry subject.
There is a saying in the mean, so the virtuous must be ordered. Ordained by heaven, that is, the king. To be a monarch, he must guide and discipline the four directions, and maintain the people in a unified manner, and not let loose.
From the word "Guangji", it was written into the paragraph of "Zhigangzhiji, Yan and friends" where the original title is located. The ministers and the common people are all subject to the monarch's guidelines, each is in his own position, and each performs his own way.
When the ruler is not slack and the people are happy, only when the people are happy can the country be at peace. This is the painstaking effort of "Gongshi" to write this poem in response to the poem "Falling Shadow" presented during the king's sacrificial ceremony.
The writing of the article here is almost complete, but the meaning of the person who asked the question has not been written yet. Dare to pick this kind of poem with the meaning of satirizing and persuading the king as a topic in the examination room, which itself has the meaning of persuading the emperor.
This question is probably not written by Yin Gelao, but by Wu Youyude. Wu Yude is the teacher of the future Emperor Hongzhi. The temperament of the master and the apprentice is a bit similar, and he will definitely be a good pair of monarchs and ministers in the next day. But this question originated in the Chenghua Dynasty, and it is destined to be an unpopular question, and most of the students who answered the question did not dare to write sarcasm.
But he wanted to write a try.
Not to try to figure out the examiner's mind, but to make this article more complete and more in line with the original meaning of the title; it is also that he, as a student of Li Dongyang, who has earned his reputation for so long, should have a bit of a teacher's character. What's more, just a little bit of advice on the paper to persuade the monarch to accept the remonstrance is not a taboo thing, and the emperor will not be cruel enough to send him to the imperial prison just because he persuades Bai Xi.
- Even after entering, the prison supervisor is still his boyfriend, so when he enters, he will have a honeymoon ahead of schedule.
The big deal is that the examiner didn't like his article, but this was the penultimate of the five sutras, and no examiner would read it carefully. If his previous articles are good enough, he will naturally be selected; if not, his overall level is not enough, and it is not in this sentence or half of the irony.
The time of application has not yet come, and there is still time to add another conclusion.
At the end of the classic annotation of "Fake Music", Zhu Zi's annotation "Fang Jiazhi, who is also regulated, covers the meaning of Gao Tao Geng's song", which is exactly the purpose of stamping this poem to satirize the monarch.
Gao Tao's "Gong Ge" persuaded Yao. First, he praised the monarch and ministers who were in their positions at that time, the monarch and the ministers were well-mannered, and each carried out his own affairs; he also persuaded Yao not to overstep his official duties, to pay attention to trivial matters, and to make the ministers become lazy in government affairs. make everything ruined. The poem "Fake Music" also followed the intention of the ancient sages to persuade and satirize, and in addition to the ode, he persuaded the cardinal and ministers to work hard on government affairs, so that the people could live comfortably.
He wrote Gao Tao and "Fake Music" from Tang, Yu, Xia and Zhou governance affairs, but they were all ironic.
When the monarch is in Kangtai, or when he has forgotten his worries, the ministers should take on the responsibility of satirizing and persuading the monarch. However, it would be difficult even to admonish the Emperor Ming. Gao Tao and Gong Shi could only embody the meaning of persuasion and satire in their odes, and later courtiers followed suit—for example, when he said that Empress Dowager Zhao took the future of his own descendants as an introduction, The Way of Aiko advised the Empress Dowager not to interfere in state affairs.
For the example of Chulong, he only wrote "the words of love for his descendants", but he did not write it all, and he could not write any more.
It can be said that it is a matter of success in writing here. If I write it again, it is not to persuade one hundred to ridicule one, but to point out that the emperor is not willing to accept remonstrance. He is just a candidate to be tested, and he is not a censor. He has no authority to advise, and the emperor cannot see what is written on this scroll.
He shook his head and chuckled, regardless of whether the article could fall into the hands of the question maker or what the room examiner would judge, he just slowly copied it onto the official scroll.
When the application time was about to pass, the field supervisor personally patrolled the field. Seeing that there was only one draft left on his examination paper, the words that flowed out of his pen slowly and slowly, he printed the draft with Zhu Yin, and then turned to the field captain and ordered it. Nodding, he promised three candles.
At dusk, the whole hall offered candles uniformly, and the patrol officer brought a candlestick, lit it with his own hands, and set the other two aside. Cui Xie didn't use three sticks, and when the first candle was burned out, all twelve rolls of paper had been transcribed clearly and cleanly, not even a single ink dot was left.
He also no longer gave himself the opportunity to regret the revision, rolled up the papers and walked to the official who received the papers, handed in the papers, and left the Dragon Gate.
People from the Cui Li family were waiting outside, nervously asking him why he came out so late today, how he did in the exam, and whether he had any clues. Cui Xie listened to their questions indifferently, asked the Li family to thank the teacher for his concern on his behalf, and then sent Cui's parents back to report the letter. The person who feeds the horses.
The man was wearing a black cloak, covering the upper half of his face, revealing only slightly upturned lips and a neat and powerful chin curve. However, Cui Xie saw his face clearly through the shadow of the hood at first sight, and he smiled at him with a sense of peace and joy in his heart.
The man also raised the corner of his lips towards him, nodded slightly, then got on his horse and disappeared into the deep street.
The family members next to him saw him smiling towards the empty place across the street, and asked inexplicably, "Master, is there anything over there?"
There was nothing, but there had been the person he most wanted to see.
Cui Xie still had a big smile on his face, and he didn't explain anything. He just got on his horse and said, "Go back. I'll show the question to the teacher tomorrow."
