Li Zhiyuan turned his head and cast his gaze over. When he saw that the person speaking was Xiao Changan, he immediately became interested and stared at Xiao Changan, waiting for Xiao Changan to speak.
Xiao Chu on the side looked indifferent, looking back and forth, constantly observing the surprised expressions of the talented people and the three old gentlemen in the field, with great interest.
Li Zhongkang's eyes were fixed on Xiao Changan, and when he saw that Xiao Changan was thinking without panic, and his expression was extremely calm, then the bad premonition in his heart became more intense, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
Zhang Jingnian, who was on the side, had previously blushed at the sarcastic looks from everyone, but now he saw that everyone was looking at Xiao Changan with a look full of hope and without a trace of sarcasm. A burst of jealousy arose, and he secretly hummed in his heart, "
Why should he be a loser among scholars?"
Zhang Jinnian's family was well off, so he naturally would not look down on a poor and humble boy like Xiao Changan. He thought that only those of Xiao Changan's class would be qualified to be regarded seriously by him if they became a scholar.
"Brother Chang'an, what is your second line? Tell me quickly and let us all look at it!"
At this time, everyone in the venue could not wait any longer, so they urged. Everyone had seen Xiao Changan's talents in the previous round, so naturally they had great expectations for Xiao Changan's second line.
Xiao Changan took another step forward, with a calm demeanor and no intention of plagiarism. After a moment, he softly said, "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, care about everything!"
As Xiao Changan's soft chant fell, everyone in the venue fell into silence again. They stayed there for about ten seconds before the entire second floor burst into thunderous applause.
"A genius! He is definitely a genius!"
"Someone can think of such a sentence!"
People in the venue could no longer suppress their excitement and couldn't help but open their mouths to praise. The applause continued in the venue, and the sound echoed in the ears.
At this time, Li Zhongkang's face was not as humble as he had shown before, and his expression gradually froze. Expressions of annoyance, jealousy, and anger appeared alternately on Li Zhongkang's face, making his expression even more ugly.
Why have you never heard of this Xiao Changan before? Is he really so talented?
Li Zhongkang almost wanted to bleed. His two opportunities to shine were snatched away, and it was the same person? And this person was a mud-legged man in coarse linen clothes? At this moment, the depression in Li Zhongkang's heart was evident.
Everyone on the second floor was in a state of recollection. Xiao Changan's second couplet of "Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, concern about everything" amazed everyone present.
If the ideological connotation of Li Zhongkang's second couplet just echoes the first couplet, then Xiao Changan's second couplet completely sublimates the content of the entire couplet.
In the first couplet, "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound reaches my ears" shows the picture of a scholar studying hard in the wind and rain. It also shows the character of a scholar. Regardless of the storm outside, I am still standing tall.
A firm confidence in studying. In the second line, Li Zhongkang also expressed the best wishes of every scholar, that is, because I studied hard, I "made it to the top of the list" in all levels of the imperial examination system.
But in Xiao Changan's second couplet, he takes a different approach, extending the connotation of this couplet from the depth of reading to the feelings of family and country that a scholar should have. Whether it is family affairs, national affairs or world affairs, I must care about everything.
This can't help but remind everyone of the current Daxia Kingdom. There are Turks in the north and Uighurs in the west. They have been engaged in wars and wars for many years.
As a scholar, even if the country is unable to go to the front line during the war, I still have to "care about everything" so that I can do something for my country within my ability. This second line overturns the idea of "being blind to what is happening outside the window".
, the value concept of "reading only the books of sages and sages" makes the feelings of family and country that a scholar should have emerge.
Everyone in the hall sighed repeatedly, how could Xiao Changan have such insight?
This time, it was not only the talented people in the field who were surprised, but also Chen Yuannian, who was on the throne. He thought that he had promoted people to become officials in these years, and he only thought about serving the country and doing some practical things for the people. He did not expect that Xiao Xiao
Chang'an was actually able to reveal the profound meaning in it?
Of course, what surprised all the talented people was not only Xiao Changan's new approach to the second line, but also its connection with the idea advocated by the ancients of "cultivate one's self, harmonize one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world".
After the state is in order, the country will be governed, and after the state is governed, the world will be peaceful." Doesn't the idea conveyed in "family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, care about everything" coincide with "cultivate one's moral integrity, harmonize the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world"?
"What a genius! What a genius!" Everyone in the venue sighed repeatedly.
All readers are inspired by this and think that this Xiao Changan can be named the number one talent in Dingyuan County! This is what many talented people are thinking at this time.
Li Zhiyuan's reaction from behind was even stronger. When Xiao Changan's words came out, Master Li's heart surged, and he carefully understood the meaning conveyed in that sentence.
However, when the people among them looked at Li Zhiyuan, they saw that Master Li was already in tears. The tears were flowing down his cheeks and soaked in his beard and clothes. However, this did not make Master Li appear embarrassed, because in Master Li's eyes
His face showed excitement and joy. This scene made everyone present feel the scholar's family and country feelings in Mr. Li Zhiyuan, and they couldn't help but understand this sentence more deeply.
Chen Changxue on the side was also a little moved. Seeing Li Zhiyuan's body shaking slightly, he wanted to step forward to help Li Zhiyuan, but Li Zhiyuan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
After a while.
Li Zhiyuan stood up from his seat and walked step by step towards Xiao Changan's position.
This scene made everyone even more confused. They couldn't figure out the meaning of Master Li's actions, and they didn't know what he wanted to do.
However, the next scene left everyone stunned, and they even wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes.
Mr. Li walked straight from his seat to Xiao Changan, then linked his arms and gave Xiao Changan a student salute.
Previously, Xiao Changan was a little surprised as to why Mr. Li was walking towards him, but when he saw Li Zhiyuan's actions, he was greatly surprised and hurriedly stood up to avoid Mr. Li's gift. If he had accepted this gift,
Haven't you drowned in the spit of students from Dingyuan County? Mr. Li is relatively senior in Dingyuan County and has been running a private school for more than 20 years. Many scholars in Dingyuan County are his disciples. It can be said that his disciples
There are many students all over the world, and many of his disciples are already living in temples.
"Mr. Xiao, thank you for your advice today! What you said today made me suddenly enlightened. I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao has such a great talent." Li Zhiyuan spoke sincerely and changed the title of Xiao Chang'an to Mr.
"this"
Xiao Changan was at a loss, and hurriedly returned a salute to Li Zhiyuan, and quickly stood respectfully beside Li Zhiyuan.
"Mr. Xiao, I have been reading poetry and books for many years in vain. After your on-demand broadcast, I finally had an epiphany. 'Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything should be concerned about.' This sentence can set the standard for our actions!"
Xiao Chu on the side was also stunned by Li Zhiyuan's actions. He stared blankly at Li Zhiyuan, who was behaving respectfully, and couldn't help but sigh.
"This old gentleman is really a man with a big heart and a Confucian style. No wonder he can write such a process that will last forever."
