Chapter 286 Wen Dong Jinghua
After leaving the Fuzhou Guild Hall, Gu Xiancheng and Wei Yunzhong both looked solemn.
Gu Xiancheng was a very proud person. He thought that besides Wang Shizhen, I was the second most in the world. However, after seeing Lin Yanchao's argument for the ills of grain, he immediately became arrogant. After leaving the Fuzhou Guild Hall, he immediately stayed silent and returned to the Guild Hall to study. He was preparing to divide the difference with Lin Yanchao during the imperial examination.
However, Wei Yunzhong is a very open-minded gentleman, and he has one thing to say and two things to say. He admires this theory of ills. After talking to Weng Zhengchun and Ye Xianggao, he was also amazed at their talents.
The talents and knowledge of these two people are not only in Fujian, but also in other provinces, but both admitted that their knowledge is not as good as Lin Yanchao.
Wei Yunzhong can tell how talented Lin Yanchao is. After returning, he started chatting with his younger brother Wei Yunfu, fellow villagers Yang Hao and other scholars.
In Nanle, Wei Yunzhong, Wei Yunfu brothers, and his brother Wei Yunzhen are all very famous and talented, and are known as the Three Weis.
Wei Yunzhen passed the Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli and is currently the Promoter of Jingzhou. Because he dared to speak out, he was regarded as a clear stream in the court.
Wei Yunzhong and Wei Yunfu were not inferior to their brothers, and they had their own friends. They had a group of friends with each other. As for Yang Hao, they were friends with each other. Yang Hao was from Jingfu and was from Shangqiu, Henan. Although this person was not as good as the Wei brothers, he was good at military affairs.
After Wei Yunfu read it, Wei Yunzhong silently lamented: "This article describes emotions and events, is easy to speak, almost slang, but its meaning is extremely ancient. This person is really a great writer of articles."
Yang Hao said: "This article denounces the violence of officials and officials in the government, the sighs of stone trench officials, and the rumbling of snake-catching sayings. There is no today's articles with fat and poor meaning. It is a masterpiece like the Qin theory!"
Wei Yunzhong nodded and said, "No wonder Mr. Fengzhou left Beijing. He said that this person's article was chasing Su Han and would become a generation of literary master within ten years. In my opinion, within ten years, only in today's day, I, Wei, was convinced."
A scholar said, "I had traveled to Fujian and heard from the Shuntian Provincial Examination that Li Erzhang, even Li Zhuowu, who was arrogant and looked at his article, said that if this person was there, he should avoid the road and let this person go out."
After hearing this, the juren nodded, and finally someone sighed: "It is not only a blessing for us to go to the spring exam with this person, but also a blessing for us!"
Some people also said: "It may not be. It depends on whether Zhang Xiang is willing to abandon his selfishness and let his two sons escape the road and let Lin Jieyuan go to the same place."
After the first month of the year, all the juren who came to the capital to take the exam were here. After these juren went to the Ministry of Rites to hand over the exam, they would teach each other's writings.
It’s okay to have a general literary association. In addition to the current scholars, a few writers will also invite a few writers, as well as court officials, and even Hanlin attend the meeting.
Famous literary associations in the capital include the Xishan literary association, the Zou Shui literary association, etc.
The articles that comment on popular articles and scholars who are expected to win the championship in the imperial examination are indispensable at the literary conference before the imperial examination.
Those scholars who came to Beijing for the first time and had little reputation were eager to make a name for themselves through the fame and fortune of the capital. They inevitably shrunk their heads and wanted to squeeze into these famous literary associations. If they were for the articles and even for the Hanlin people to appreciate them, their reputation would definitely reach the examiners' ears. There were many Chinese opportunities.
However, there are three thousand juren and two thousand Imperial College students, and no one is Yi.
Every Juren is not in the countryside and is admired by countless elders. Many people's knowledge can be regarded as masters of Chinese studies today.
Therefore, it is very difficult for a person's talent and articles to be recognized by everyone.
Occasionally, there are some articles that appear at the literary meeting. Everyone praises them and says a few good words. At most, they can be passed into the hands of Hanlin officials. It is amazing to take a few glances.
However, such articles cannot cause trouble.
At the Xishan Cultural Conference that day, many Hanlins commented on the article. After looking at it, a scholar from Henan could not bear it anymore and handed over the article on the theory of ills of grain. He wrote the word "anonymous" on his signature, and then left the literary conference with the "return of the matter and leaving the clothes, hiding his merits and fame".
Perhaps this scholar did not expect that the Xishan Cultural Association would cause an uproar after he left.
The article on the theory of the ills of grains first came to the hands of an old juren.
This old juren who had been taking the exam for 30 years couldn't help but slap the table and read the article three times. He couldn't help but be amazed. After seeing the word "anonymous" written on the signature, he pulled his left and right and asked, "Who is this anonymous brother, who is this master?"
After hearing this, everyone said they didn't know, but they all said that they had read this masterpiece called "Anonymous".
Some people say that this person’s articles are mediocre, vulgar and shameless, and has written several erotic articles (commonly known as Xiao Huang’s Book).
Some people also say that this anonymous master has become famous for a hundred years and is probably already dead now.
Finally someone said: "This anonymous is anonymous!"
Everyone was stunned.
However, the article spread and everyone sighed after reading it: "This article does not seek rules, and its words seem to be rushing out, no longer checking, almost slang, and even an old woman can understand it. It is just like this article, and it is thought-provoking to read it."
After hearing this, everyone began to reflect.
There were articles from the Ming Dynasty, whether they were retro schools or Tang and Song schools, both schools were guided by the Qin and Han dynasties and took the Tang and Song dynasties as their slogans, but the articles were difficult to escape the barriers of their predecessors.
Even if there are one or two excellent articles among the two schools, in the eyes of Hanlin's craftsmen, they are complex and complex for the sake of extreme changes. Although some people shouted the slogan "As the world changes, literature also changes", no one knows how literature changes according to the world, and some people don't even know what the world is.
The theory of the illegitimate wording is very precise, and the thought-provoking articles after reading are immediately refreshing.
There were also excellent works in the previous articles. Although it may not be considered as such, the format has come to an end and reads the same. However, the articles such as the ingenious and appropriate words and allusions are judged immediately after comparison.
Several Hanlins at the Lianwen Conference were convinced and said, "As soon as this article is released, I am afraid that the world's literary style will change."
Of course, some people say it’s good, and some people say it’s bad. Scholars have always been inferior to each other, and some people always can’t stand others’ good.
A Hanlin said angrily: "In the past, it was Hanlin's articles, which were the benchmark for scholars all over the world. Now, an anonymous article leads the world's atmosphere, is not a joke."
So one person asked, "This person is not an unknown person, who did it?"
