A few days later, Fei Qian never expected that Li Ru would recommend him to Cai Yong.
Speaking of Cai Yong, he is really a great figure among literati. Just the halo hanging on his body can blind the eyes of ordinary people just by taking out any one of it.
There were so many great writers, great historians, great musicians, great painters, and great calligraphers of the Eastern Han Dynasty that I really doubted whether Cai Yong was a normal human being.
In terms of literature, Cai Yong is most famous for leaving "Xiping Stone Classic" to later generations.
It was still during the period of Emperor Ling. Cai Yong believed that some Confucian classics at that time contained many ambiguities and many errors in writing. In order not to hinder future learning, he specially requested to rectify these scriptures. After the imperial edict was granted, Cai Yong personally
The tablets were written on the tablets and ordered to be engraved and erected outside the gate of Taixue. There were 46 tablets in total. These tablets were collectively known as the "Hongdu Stone Classic", also known as the "Xiping Stone Classic". It served as a model for the world's scholars to revise texts.
During this time, the gate of Taixue was very busy. There were many people coming here every day to view the Mofu calligraphy. There were thousands of cars and horses, and the roads were blocked.
In addition, in terms of music, in addition to the much-talked-about story of Jiaoweiqin, Cai Yong also formulated the Cai Family Five Lanes, "Spring Outing", "Lushui", "Secret Thoughts", "Sitting Sorrow", "Autumn Thoughts"
”, later together with the Ji’s Four Lanes customized by another musician Ji Kang, namely “Changqing”, “Duanqing”, “Changside” and “Duanside”, they were called the Nine Lanes of Qinqu. After the Han Dynasty, they even became the royal
One of the assessment criteria for becoming a scholar.
Of course, part of the interest of later generations in Cai Yong comes from his daughters, Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji. I won’t go into details about this.
So when Li Ru informed Fei Qian that he had recommended him to Cai Yong, Fei Qian really couldn't believe it. Until he entered Cai's mansion, he still felt a little dazed like he was in a dream.
Cai Yong sat in the first place, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Cai Yong has not accepted disciples for many years. Firstly, his reputation is getting stronger, so he must be cautious about accepting disciples; secondly, his daughter encountered
The shabby things that happened to him really made him quite sad; thirdly, as he got older, he really didn’t have much energy to teach with all his heart, so he simply closed the door and stopped accepting disciples. But now he doesn’t know where Li Ru went to find him.
A friend's token was sent back with the condition that he accept Fei Qian as his disciple. This really put Cai Yong in a difficult position.
When Li Ru sent the token, of course he said it very casually and clearly. He clearly explained that Fei Qian's father had been kind to him in the past, and now he had achieved some success. When he learned that Fei Qian was interested in studying, he relied on his connections.
I found Cai Yong's keepsake, and it was up to Cai Yong to decide whether to accept it or not. Anyway, he had done what he should have done and had a clear conscience.
The most important thing is the sentence "have a clear conscience". You, Li Ru, have a clear conscience. If I, Cai Yong, refuse, then what I said at the beginning, "If you come with this thing, I will do whatever I can, and I will accept it," wouldn't it be a slap in the face to myself?
How can I have a "clear conscience" if I lose my face? It's been rumored that I, Cai Yong, broke my promise and gained weight. Then do I still want to be a human being?
Cai Yong looked at the young people in the hall. They were slender, restrained in charm, and handsome in appearance. They were somewhat passable, but regardless of whether they were holding back or not, they still felt a little heartbroken. But since everyone was here, he still touched them first.
To find out, ask first.
"What do you study?" - What have you studied, and what are you good at?
"Young man is well versed in the Six Classics, and prefers to do sutra calculation." Thanks to the blessing of the former Fei Qian, I can still remember most of the Six Classics, but Fei Qian can't do anything like trivial matters, but doing sutra calculation is different.
Just kidding, after all, future generations are also people who have gone to high school and college. No matter how awesome you are from the Eastern Han Dynasty, have you seen matrices, do you know calculus, and the general theory of probability...
In fact, Fei Qian also wanted to say, not only that, I also know about "washing in the gutter", "Biaane", and "Yamei Daddy" also know a little bit, but unfortunately these things were completely useless in the Eastern Han Dynasty...
Cai Yong was quite surprised, because Suan Jing was a very cutting-edge knowledge in the Eastern Han Dynasty and could not be played by ordinary people. At this time, "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" had only been written two or three hundred years ago, and many of its articles were obscure and unclear.
, Those who do not have strong imagination and deduction ability will be blind even if they read the words. For example, there is a description in "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", "If you seek evil to reach the sun, use the lower part of the sun as the hook, the higher part of the sun as the stock, and the Pythagorean
Multiply each one, combine it and divide it by taking the square root, and you will find the evil to the day." This is the Pythagorean theorem. If you have read it but not understood it, then arithmetic has no chance for you.
There is another book that is relatively better, just a little bit better, which is the famous "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". However, at this time, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" has not been compiled and annotated by Liu Hui, and it is still very messy and disorderly.
Although it is relatively close to some specific issues in life, it still belongs to the type of book that is not approachable.
Cai Yong suddenly became a little interested. After all, there are relatively few people studying this stuff in this era, and it is difficult to find colleagues. So he casually asked a question in Chapter Nine to try: "Now there is a city whose size I don't know. Go out of the north gate."
At twenty paces there is a tree. After going out of the south gate fourteen paces, turn around and then go west one thousand seven hundred and seventy five paces and you will see a tree. How many square meters are there in the city?
After walking 14 steps from the south gate and walking 1775 steps to the west, you can see the big landmark tree. Find the area of this square town.
Although the questions are short, they involve quite a lot. In addition to basic number operations, the most important thing is to know the theorem of similar triangles and the solution of linear equations in two variables. It is a moderately difficult question among the nine chapters of arithmetic.
, Cai Yong took it out at will and tried it to see if Fei Qian really understood arithmetic.
But this difficult question for middle school students was not a problem for Fei Qian at all. He asked Cai Yong for paper and pen, drew a picture, listed the equations, and calculated the answer directly.
Cai Yong stretched his neck and looked at it. This picture can probably be guessed as a schematic diagram, so what are the ghost symbols abcd1234 on the picture? He suddenly felt itchy in his heart, but he felt a little embarrassed to ask.
Fei Qian had the intention to show off the deceptive 30-yuan math problem in later generations, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. After all, the 30-yuan hotel question itself was a bit misleading. It was just mentioned in ordinary circumstances, like this
If people see through this in front of a great Confucian scholar, it will not be fun if the topic is extended to other people. He might be labeled as "cunning" and his life will basically be ruined.
So let’s pretend to be honest, everyone likes honest people, right?
After Fei Qian finished his calculations, he stood with his hands down, acting like an obedient student.
Cai Yongzi weighed it carefully, hesitated again and again, and expressed his affirmation of Fei Qian's arithmetic knowledge, and finally said: "That's all, I will accept you as a disciple. On the third and twelfth day of the Lunar New Year, you can come to Taixue to listen to my lectures; on the Lunar New Year,
Fifth, if you have any questions on the 20th day of the lunar month, you can come here and ask, how about it?" A registered disciple is also considered a disciple, and it does not count as a violation of the previous promise. As for whether there will be a chance to become a full-time official in the future, we will talk about it in the future. Let's send it away first so that we can take Fei Qian.
I asked my dear daughter if she could understand the paper that was used to solve the problem.
