Chapter 132: Ci Fu and the Book of Ten Thousand Words(1/2)

   As the saying goes, poetry relies on love, and gives things.

Poetry, songs and fu are at the end, but among the four Jinshi exams in the Song Dynasty, poetry and fu are the most important.

Nowadays, poetry has become a secondary factor, retreating behind fu.

Now that Zhang Yue has entered the Jinshi class, the difficulty lies in learning fu.

The one who impressed Zhang Yue the most in the fu is the "Six Kings, one in the four seas, the mountains of Shu are everywhere, and the Afang is out."

Of course there is another negative teaching material, that is, Liu Ji's "Heaven and Earth are crushed, all things are thriving, and the saints are born."

And Ouyang Xiu's words, "Scholars are stabbed, examiners are beaten."

Fu is half a poem and half a essay.

This article is prose, and prose is an article that does not rhyme or is unbalanced.

But Fu not only rhymes, but also change rhymes. Sometimes it has to be parallel or irregular.

As for poetry, it has seven-character verses and five-character verses or even three-character verses, but the length is short, but the fu is generally long.

Therefore, fu is called poetry and literature.

Another feature of Fu is that it is to lay the text and write the story of things.

Take Sima Xiangru's Lin Fu as an example.

……There is a slight crack, the flow is reversed, the flow is turbulent, the turbulent flow is irrigated, the clouds are bulging, and the clouds are bulging, and the rubber is tilted. The waves are rushing, and the arrival of Xiase. The rocks are rushing...

The whole article in Shanglin Fu is like this.

Many Han Fu are like this. In fact, most of them are not real scenes, but Sima Xiangru depicts all the imagined and created scenery into the scenery of Shanglin Garden, giving people a sense of high quality.

This is not like this in one generation or two generations. The fu in the Tang Dynasty was like this. Han Yu implemented the "Ancient Literature Movement" because he thought that such fu was too false. To put it bluntly, the literati were purely "showing off skills" and had no actual content.

It is considered that "if the illusion is too large, it will be different from each other, and if the illusion is too large, it will be contrary to the situation."

In the Song Dynasty, this virtue was restored, but in the second year of Jiayou, who was the chief examiner of Ouyang Xiu, he once again implemented the "Ancient Literature Movement". If you dare to write like this, you will be "scholars and examiners."

The fate of Liu Ji, the first person in the Imperial Academy, can be seen.

To learn fu, one is to read and memorize rhyme books, and the other is to have a large vocabulary.

If you feel that your ancient vocabulary is large, you can try to read the reading comprehension of Sima Xiangru's "Shanglin Fu" and "Zixu Fu".

Emperor Wu of Han sighed when he read Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu" and said, "I am the only one who can't be at the same time as this person!"

As a result, the eunuchs from Shu people on the side said proudly that this was done by Sima Xiangru, a fellow minister.

After Emperor Wu of Han met Sima Xiangru, Sima Xiangru said that "Zixu Fu" was a fu for hunting by princes and kings. I will write for you another article "Shanglin Fu" by the emperor.

Although Zixu Fu and Shanglin Fu both talk about hunting gardens, almost none of the two articles are similar, which shows how large Sima Xiangru's vocabulary is.

Now Ouyang Xiu advocates the ancient Chinese movement and has always changed the law and fu in the field of science to literary fu, but it has never been satisfactory.

Just like Ouyang Xiu wrote his own fu of autumn sounds, he had to take into account both parallel and scattered things.

Originally, Zhang Yue was also a supporter of Ouyang Xiu's ancient Chinese movement.

But he also understood why the ancients had to rhyme in poems and songs?

Rhyme is not just for rhetoric, but for the convenience of reciting. So many poems in the Book of Songs are preserved in the form of singing, and are finally recorded on paper.

No matter how good the poem is, if it is difficult to recite, it does not have the conditions for survival.

After all, there was no condition for Baidu to read casually in ancient times, so it is of course best to keep it in your mind through such catchy ways as poetry.

In this way, even if you accidentally feel the scene after many years, you can recite or sing a poem or song you have recited when you were memorized in your childhood.

After understanding this, Zhang Yue was no longer so repulsive to Fu.

However, compared to the classics, learning to tutor is really about talent.

Even if Sima Xiangru did not meet Emperor Wu of Han, he would be a saint.

Zhang Yue has also started to learn fu now. Fortunately, in Taixue, Gezhai studied knowledge in Luting every day, and also had a well-educated scholar-in-law to serve as lecturers, which gave Zhang Yue a way to learn. Unlike when he was in Wuxi in the past, it was difficult to find this book.

The system of the Imperial Academy is to "talk in the hall and practice in the veterinary school."

The Chonghua Hall lectures every ten days, and the Imperial College direct lectures are taught by themselves, and the daily exams are also in Chonghua Hall.

As for daily study, I am in the vegetarian hall.

This vegetarian house is a bit different from the school dormitory, with some seminar rooms, study rooms and dormitory feeling.

Every day, Zhang Yue must come to the Luting Pavilion to attend the banquet.

This furnace pavilion is placed in every vegetarian restaurant. Because it can be used to lift the furnace in winter, it is called the furnace pavilion.

The Luting Pavilion is the study room and seminar room of the vegetarian house. In addition to making fires in winter, the windows on the east and west walls will be opened in summer.

Zhang Yue walked into the furnace pavilion from the south. The name of the person who was given the title was hung beside the windows on the east and west walls. The following words were written in small characters, including the Jinshi, the Jinguan, etc.

On the north is a solid wall, with three plates hanging on the wall.

The central board is the top priority and is called the Guangzhai card.

This is the rule left since the time of the Tang Dynasty. Any student who has passed the imperial examination and who has become an official and returned to the provincial imperial examination should return to school to perform the ritual of Guangzhai.

In addition to giving gifts, you also need to pay a sum of money to our Zhai, which is called Guangzhai. If you serve as the prime minister, the top scholar, and the commander of the Cao, you must also give us another batch of valuable gifts to our Zhai and then write them on the Guangzhai sign.

As for the two left and right pieces of Guangzhai card, the name and place of the students in Shubenzhai on the left (received honors in the Imperial Academy), Zhang Yue has been listed on this board after performing the "Secting Zhai" ceremony and officially became a member of Yangzhengzhai.

On the right side, the Taixue Learning Rules, Yangzhengzhai Rules, and a pair of Furnace Pavilion seats are attached next to it (see the Easter Egg Seal in the picture of Furnace Pavilion).

In the center of the pavilion is a stove, and the seats are all surrounded by the pavilion, with a total of about twenty-four seats.

The full amount of one vegetarian is thirty people, but why there are only twenty-four seats? Zhang Yue doesn’t understand why.

However, compared to the two-point life of classrooms and dormitories in the past, it is good to go to the Luting Pavilion to attend banquets or self-study on weekdays.

Zhang Yue usually learns fu writing in Luting. When Zhang Yue was the leader of Zhai Liu Ji was there, Zhang Yue also asked him how to write articles.

In the Taixue, the fasting commands to implement the rules of academic rules and regulations. As for the fasting commander, he coordinates the matter. Although the fasting commander does not have the responsibility to supervise his studies and answer questions, Liu Ji is the "first person in the Taixue". Perhaps because he is too famous, he is beaten up by Ouyang Xiu, but there is no doubt about his talent.

When Zhang Yue asked Liu Ji for advice, he said, "If you learn my articles, you will be beaten by the examiner in the future. Don't blame me."

Zhang Yue smiled.

Liu Ji was either because of Zhang Yue, Zhang Heng and Zhang Dun's relatives, or picking up girls that day to help him stand out, but he was also giving full guidance to Zhang Yue's learning.

Zhang Yue asked him if Sima Xiangru's Shanglin Fu is now that Zixu Fu cannot be learned anymore, and instead learns Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan's articles, you can take the exam by writing the articles easily and easily.

Liu Ji stared at Zhang Yue for a while after hearing this, then said, "What kind of articles do you like, just learn what kind of articles you like? Can you just blindly understand the examiner's preferences?"

Zhang Yue was stunned for a while when he heard this, Liu Ji pointed his heart with his hand and said, "Eternal articles have their own meanings. You should ask here, but not elsewhere. I am not afraid of what I get from the 'red silk'!"

Zhang Yue couldn't help but admire him.

Red silk refers to the "red silk belt". Most scholars in Chengdu, Shu, like to wrap a "red silk" around their waists.

Liu Ji was immediately under the imperial examination last year.

Ouyang Xiu used the "scholar's stab, examiner's brush" to humiliate him, but he also wiped Liu Ji's articles from beginning to end with a red pen, which was called "red silk".

After such humiliation, Ouyang Xiu wrote the three big words "big mistakes" to criticize him. He said that this must be Liu Ji's article, and posted it in the Gongyuan for all examiners to appreciate it. After the exam, everyone saw that it was Liu Ji.

After ordinary people have experienced such insults, they either don’t take the exam or change their writing style. But I am not afraid of Liu Ji’s words, which really makes Zhang look at him more and more impressed.

But when Liu Ji saw Liu Ji's serious expression, "Sima Xiangru's Zixu Fu was written during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, but Emperor Jing of Han did not like verses and verses, so Sima Xiangru was always depressed and unable to succeed. However, when it was during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han who liked verses, Sima Xiangru took advantage of the times. If Sima Xiangru had made the right move early, could he write articles like Shanglin Fu in the future? Since ancient times, scholars have to insist on it. Don't let the articles look for people, but ask people to come to find your articles!"

Zhang Yue heard this and questioned: "If the exam will be Ouyang next year, will President Zhai still not express his words in this way?"

Liu Ji laughed and said, "That's right."

Zhang Yue nodded. This is really the true nature of a real man.

Liu Ji reminded himself that what he said makes sense, why do you need to learn whatever articles you like now?

Just like the next generation discusses all day long where the next voyage is? A big guy said, "When standing on the voyage, pigs will fly," but there are also big guys saying, "No matter where the voyage is, do your own thing well. One day, the voyage will blow on you. Keep looking for the voyage, and lose yourself."

It seems that Liu Ji is such a great man. He has seen through everything long ago, so he can persevere and remain unwavering.

Then after some time, Zhang Yue learned that Liu Ji changed his name to Liu Ying, and his character was changed from "Zi Dao" to "Zhidao". Not only that, he also changed his writing style. Once his writing was changed, his article was written even more "ancient text" than Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan's "ancient text".

After Zhang Yue found out, he couldn't help but curse. It was really Male Gobi. This man spoke like a fart, wasting his time.

So Zhang Yue had to pick up Han Liu again, read Ouyang Xiu's article carefully, and learn their writing style.

 The vocabulary and sounds must be memorized, but the article may not be certain. The article is based on talent, just like the composition of the college entrance examination. Most people will never get full marks in their entire life when practicing.

But whether the acquired efforts are useful, the answer is still useful.

There is a saying that "Su Wen cooks, eat mutton, Su Wen cooks, and eats vegetable soup." That is to say, if you memorize San Su's articles, you can eat mutton (being an official). If you don't memorize it, you can only drink vegetable soup.

However, reading Sansu's articles as an imperial examination model is still a matter of Jianyan after reading Jianyan. Now I am just trying to figure out the articles of Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan.

This dynasty studied for Ouyang Xiu.

In addition to poetry and essays, the most common discussions among students in the furnace pavilion are also major affairs of the court.

As Xiang Qi said before, "Daifatou Tuo Courtyard, the Censorate without an official". The student's life is indeed hard, and it is also a criticism of the government.

Some people also say that it makes sense that Tai students criticize the government because of their hard life.
