Chapter 169 Daily Lessons
Lin Yanchao felt a lot of pressure in his letter, and he couldn't help but feel the pressure on his shoulders. ≤≤Little≤Say,
In particular, Lin Feng's last advice in his letter is to work on one's own business and to achieve one's own knowledge. Don't seek others, but seek yourself.
Lin Yanchao believed that, and thought to himself, Lin Feng was right, studying cannot be urged by others for the rest of his life. For example, when he was in the social school, everyone was studying hard to get into school. But after entering the school, the motivation for studying was gone, and students were content to be content with happiness and not enterprising. That's all, even the hard work he had made was wasted.
Therefore, it is good for many students to go to the academy to study after entering school. There will be teachers there to arrange your homework for you and study step by step every day. This is also because many students are willing to go to the academy to study again.
But what the academy professors are after all is the way to read by others, not the way to read by oneself. If you don’t learn by yourself, can you only go to the academy if you want to study in your life? I have never heard of any famous scholar in ancient and modern times who read from the academy?
So be careful to be alone. To put it bluntly, reading depends on yourself. It is better to teach a fish than to fish!
Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao also reflected on himself. He had a strong sense of utilitarianism in his past, and this was not a down-to-earth and knowledgeable attitude. So he rejected Master Zhang's idea of introducing himself to study in other academies. Before the exam, he followed Lin Qun to teach him how to study.
Lin Yanchao drips water and grinds the ink, thinks carefully for a while, and then writes back to Lin Yan.
My teacher has re-edited the knowledge of ancient and modern times. In front of him, the vast sea is like a lost child, and I don’t know where to start. After being guided by the master, the disciple has some understanding.
Having written this, Lin Yanchao referred to the twelve ways of reading in later generations, so he wrote about it.
Disciples have set eight methods of daily reading.
Get up early, the lights are on the 3rd and the chickens are on the 5th, and the sky is getting up.
Caring for peace. Be careful and speak less and be cautious and arrogance. The disciples who lost their pride in the past should be wary of them.
Confucianism is different from other studies. It lies in the word "respect".
Reading scriptures is the same as the same. If you don’t understand one scripture, you won’t read the next scripture.
Read history, read the collection of children, and read thirty volumes a day.
When I study literature, I write one ancient article every day and one contemporary article.
When writing, copying the calligraphy for half an hour every day.
Health care, work holidays, and diet.
After writing these, Lin Yanchao did not say it well, but wrote letters to Lin Yan to report, but was preparing to persist for a long time as a way to check one's body and study. This is also the best way to repay the teacher for his own cultivation and practice it.
Lin Yanchao also cared about Lin Feng. He knew that Lin Feng went to the prefect of Suzhou and was definitely not happy. Although the old relationship between the Lin family was still there, it was a bad thing for Zhang Juzheng after all. The officials of Zhang Juzheng's faction would definitely make a small stumbling problem for Lin Feng.
Lin Yanchao decided to cheer up the teacher in the letter, so he wrote, "But there is no Yao and Shun in the world, so you can't do anything wrong?"
This is a sentence from Su Dongpo's "Jia Yi Theory". Jia Yi is a talented person who is not met with talent. Su Dongpo regrets this article, even if there are no king or minister like Yao and Shun in the world, can a real man not do anything? A real man can do far away from what he does. He must wait for the opportunity. If he achieves great things, he must be patient.
Lin Yanchao thought to persuade him with the words of Su Dongpo, who Lin Heng admired the most, and he should be able to listen.
After writing the letter, the next day, the people from Lin’s mansion came to pick it up.
Below, Lin Yanchao studied at home every day and became a scholar at home.
After the daily class is set, Lin Yanchao will do it every day.
Every morning, I get up at the first hour of the first day of Mao (5:15), which has always been Lin Yanchao's biological clock that is too accurate.
After washing up, I started reading the scriptures, which was the Thirteen Confucian scriptures. I read them according to the method of not reading the next scripture if I didn’t understand one scripture.
After reading Chen Shi, after breakfast, I first wrote a classical article and ancient article, and then took three types of books to read.
After lunch, Lin Yanchao had the habit of taking a nap, but several of his Philosophy teachers repeatedly reminded himself not to sleep during the day.
This is really a very complaining rule. In history, Zeng Guofan dared not sleep during the day, for fear of being slaughtered and slaughtered. Therefore, after finishing official duties every day, he only dared to take a nap before dinner.
Well, Lin Yanchao could only bear the pain and switch to a little bit.
After half an hour of snooping (actually, I took a nap), Lin Yanchao got up and read again.
After reading the collection of thirty volumes of the Daily History, Zi, Lin Yanchao began to write his masterpiece.
This project of annotating for the Shangshu is quite large. Lin Yanchao wrote more than 100 words a day in this book, and never stopped. He had been persisting for three months. Before he knew it, he also wrote more than 10,000 words. The manuscripts were full of thick stacks. Lin Yanchao looked at his progress. If he was to write annotation for the Shangshu or to verify the ancient Chinese texts of Shangshu, he would not be able to complete it without ten years of hard work.
So Lin Yanchao decided to write separately, and the ancient Chinese proofs of the Shangshu were written first. As for the grand project of the Shangshu, he would postpone it.
After the split, things are much simpler.
Lin Yanchao has read a lot of pre-Qin ancient Chinese and memorized comments, which must be thanks to the accumulation of books he had read in the library. Otherwise, Lin Yanchao would not be able to write the Five Classics in the college examination room, which makes countless people admire his level of knowledge about the past and present.
But his level is OK in his home, which is far inferior to Yan Ruoyu, the author of "Shangshu Ancient Literature and Verses".
To write annotations and evidence of ancient Chinese essays in Shangshu, in addition to understanding the ancient Chinese essays and spreading the annotations, there is also a set of skills in exegesis.
Speaking of which, the n writing methods of the word "心" seem quite funny today, but it is a real skill in exegesis.
The body training in exegesis is to understand the font to grasp the ancient meaning of this word.
Many great scholars of the Han Dynasty studied these throughout their lives, in order to accurately restore the meaning of each word and every word in the classics of the sages. Different characters were also different in the ancients' different ways of writing a word, and often a word would look like a book.
Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, Pu Xue's "n kinds of writing characters in Hui" became a science. Today, the simplified Chinese characters used by people actually have very few new characters created by later generations. Most of them still use different characters created by ancient people, and the fewest strokes are used as today's simplified Chinese characters.
However, after all, doing academic research is still separate from the profession. For example, it is beneficial to Lin Yanchao's writing of time. However, if the skill of exegesis is used, it will not be tested in the imperial examination, but Lin Yanchao was not allowed to learn to write books.
Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish how much it is to write a book to Lin Yanchao's career. However, if you fail to pass the imperial examination, then relying on this book "Shangshu Ancient Literature Review" can be said to be able to become Lin Yanchao's shortcut to Zhongnan.
This is considered as buying yourself an insurance policy! (To be continued.)
