Chapter 1178 The way to govern people, don't be in a hurry
March fifteenth.
The sky had just turned white, and the rows of bamboo buildings along the river were lit up one after another. At this moment, all the students were busy washing or eating breakfast...
"Master, it's dawn, get up."
"I'll sleep a little longer."
"Master, today is the fifteenth day. It is the day for Mr. An's morning reading and lectures. If you arrive late, there will be no place for you."
"fifteen?"
The student suddenly jumped out of bed.
Mr. An’s morning readings and lectures are only twice a month. Who would miss it?
In the past three years, I don’t know how many students have broken through just because they listened to Mr. An’s morning readings and lectures.
There are also people who have broken through several realms in a row.
Even a quasi-confucian scholar has traveled thousands of miles to come here.
Every time Mr. An reads and lectures in the morning, countless students will break through, which shocks the world of the Song Dynasty again and again, and makes the entire literary world of the Song Dynasty eclipse. Now every time Mr. An reads and lectures in the morning, countless people will come to see him.
Later, the county town dozens of miles away almost became an empty city...
There were tens of thousands of literati from all over the country.
There are tens of thousands of students.
If the number of people who come to join in the fun is included, the number has already exceeded 100,000, and may reach 200,000 at the most.
On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the banks of the Weishui River are extremely lively.
Just like a street market.
Although the place where Mr. An reads and lectures in the morning is still the same place as before, the appearance has changed drastically. It has become high-end, grand and classy. Moreover, the flowers, plants and trees in these places are thriving, full of vitality and incomparable even in winter.
Lush.
Not only do the plants and trees grow fast and wonderfully, but even the flowers bloom brightly and beautifully.
At this moment, there were already students taking up positions on the lawn at the foot of the hillside.
There are also some servants who started to occupy positions here yesterday evening. After all, the position under the hillside is limited and belongs to the center of the inner circle. Moreover, the lawn under the hillside is only so big and can seat up to a thousand people.
.
But how many students come to attend the class?
Tens of thousands!
Including the common people, the number is more than 100,000.
Fortunately, Mr. An's voice can travel tens of thousands of miles. Even in the academy town, Mr. An's lectures can be clearly heard.
But the center position is always the center position.
Generally speaking, everyone has acquiesced that only those scholars who have opened up the world in their minds are qualified to enter the lawn.
The frontmost position at the bottom of the hillside requires a bachelor's level.
On the hillside, you need a quasi-great scholar.
Others can only be outside the lawn, or in distant places such as the other side.
In these places, there are flowers, trees, and other buildings. It is difficult to see the hillside, and it is even harder to see Mr. An.
"Young Master, today is the fifteenth day, which is the day for Mr. An's morning reading and lectures."
In a certain bamboo building, a servant called Ji Lun.
"roll!"
Ji Lun shouted angrily.
The servant looked embarrassed because Ji Lun had told him last night to wake him up. But now...
"Little Lord……"
The servant had no choice but to continue calling.
"What does Mr. An's lecture have to do with me, Guilun? I'm not one of those bookworms..."
"But young master..."
"roll!"
"Little Lord……"
However, at this time, the surrounding bamboo buildings were very noisy. Ji Lun, who had been awakened, could not sleep anymore, and his face became angry.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter.
From the surrounding bamboo buildings, students kept coming down in a hurry and heading towards the hillside.
"Brother Xian, this is the first time Brother Yu has come to the academy. I wonder what rules need to be followed to listen to Mr. An's lectures?"
Some students were quite excited and looking forward to it, and some nervously asked their classmates.
"Rules? Listening to Mr. An's lecture, there are no rules." The companion thought for a while and said, "Oh, by the way, generally only scholars can enter the lawn..."
"How long does it take for Mr. An to read and lecture in the morning?"
"Mr. An usually reads in the morning within half an hour, and lectures for one to two hours."
"How was Mr. An's lecture? What will he lecture this time?"
"How about the lecture?"
The companion seemed stunned for a moment, then said: "Every time Mr. An finishes his lecture, dozens of people will break through immediately, and hundreds of people will break through within three months..."
"Are there really so many people breaking through?"
The student couldn't help but be shocked. Although he heard it not once or twice, he still couldn't believe it, "Mr. An's lectures are really so good?"
"Oh, when you listen to Mr. An's lectures, you will know what is enlightening and enlightening." The companion said with some pride, and then added, "Every time Mr. Zhi An talks, he will not say it in advance.
However, every time Mr. An reads in the morning, he only reads the Book of Songs..."
At this moment, he looked back at the student and couldn't help but exclaimed: "As long as you listen to Mr. An read the Book of Songs once, you will be immersed in the world of the Book of Songs. Mr. An's voice is full of charm, like a saint
As he was reciting, Ling's soul was beating along with it..."
"So exaggerated?"
"Exaggeration? No, no, no, this is not an exaggeration. Mr. An's recitation is more amazing than what I said. Once you hear it once, you may never forget it..."
"Never forget it?"
"right!"
The young man nodded, closed his eyes at this moment, and said: "As long as you close your eyes and think carefully, the sound of Mr. An's reading will sound like it is ringing in your ears. Moreover, every time you think about it, you will gain some understanding of the Book of Songs...
"
The sky is getting brighter and brighter.
In front of and behind the young man were the literati rushing to the hillside.
When they arrived, the lawn was already full of people, and there was almost nowhere to stay. But after all, they had opened up a world in their hearts and were qualified to enter the lawn.
All we can do is squeeze together.
On the other side of the river, there are people standing on tiptoe to look out, and there are also many vendors pushing carts and carrying burdens to sell...
On the hillside.
The Seventh Princess, Ning Song and others were already waiting there.
"Meet Mr. An."
"Meet Mr. An."
When Feng Qingyan appeared, the literati sitting around stood up to greet him. Feng Qingyan nodded and began to read in the morning...
Or the Book of Songs.
When his voice sounded, a mighty righteousness rose from heaven to earth.
The vast righteousness was like the coming of a heavy fog, covering an area ten miles away, which was extremely astonishing.
After about half an hour, he stopped.
At this moment, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest. Many students who woke up quickly went to solve their personal problems. After all, Mr. An will give lectures for one to two hours...
but.
The students who heard the morning reading for the first time were dumbfounded and extremely shocked.
It seemed that my soul was resonating, and my body was trembling uncontrollably.
First, the sound of Mr. An’s reading was like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, which was deafening and made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies; second, there were more than one student who really made a breakthrough on the spot...
Even the proud Ji Lun was dumbfounded. He actually had an impulse in his heart to give up the piano and follow the text. Fortunately, he held back and woke up in time, otherwise he might have abandoned the piano and followed the text.
If he really does this, it may cause his heart to become unstable.
About two moments later.
Many students have returned to their seats, but it is still noisy. After all, several students are breaking out, and it is difficult to calm down in the excitement.
"quiet!"
At this moment, the seventh princess stood up and shouted.
Then the scene quickly became quiet. Feng Qingyan opened his eyes, looked around and said: "What we are talking about today is etiquette. The Master said: "The clouds of etiquette, the clouds of etiquette, the clouds of jade and silk, the clouds of music, the clouds of music, the clouds of bells and drums!"
"
"But before I talk about the etiquette, I would like to ask you, how many officials are there in total, including Chunguan Zongbo, Dazongbo and below?"
The students at the foot of the hillside were stunned for a moment, and then they all answered, first and then later.
"Seventy-year official."
"Seventy-year official."
"Seventy-year official."
"What are the ten methods of "Tianguan"?"
Feng Qingyan asked again and looked at a student.
The student was very excited and immediately stood up and saluted, saying respectfully: "Six canons, eight methods, eight principles, eight handles, eight unifications, nine positions, nine Fu, nine styles, nine tributes, nine liang, these are the Ten Officials of Heaven."
Law."
Feng Qingyan nodded. This was just a very simple question. He looked at another student and asked, "What are the six strategies for curing officials by harming them?"
"The first is integrity and kindness, the second is integrity and ability, the third is integrity and respect, the fourth is integrity, the fifth is integrity and law, and the sixth is integrity and discrimination." The student was quite nervous, after all, he was in front of countless literati.
"How many times does the word 'yi' appear in "Zhou Li"?"
Feng Qingyan looked at everyone and asked.
Everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, looking a little stunned. Who would count how many times the word "Xuan" appeared?
For a moment no one answered.
"No one has an answer?"
Seal Qingyan Road.
In fact, Ning Song and others knew how many times it had appeared, but they knew that Mr. An was not asking them.
So there was no answer.
"Forty-nine times."
A woman's voice rang out, immediately attracting countless eyes, it was Tu Ning.
At this moment, even the Seventh Princess was a little surprised. She didn't seem to think that Tu Ning would know the answer. This is just a little fox who has been studying for a few years, and she can't even compare to a little fox? And Tu Ning can say it in one sentence
The answer shows that she has already read "Zhou Rites" well, and is the kind of person who knows it by heart...
Feng Qingyan smiled and nodded, saying: "It is indeed forty-nine times. How many times does the word 'Shi' appear in total?"
Everyone was stunned again.
"The word 'Shi' seems to appear one hundred and thirty-one times."
Tu Ning thought hard and was not sure.
At this time, Ning Song and other would-be scholars looked at Tu Ning in surprise. They naturally knew that she was a vixen.
but.
This little fox actually defeated 100,000 people.
"That's right, study hard."
Feng Qingyan nodded, looking quite satisfied.
"yeah!"
Tu Lu couldn't help but scream secretly, feeling happy for Tu Ning and shouted: Sister Ning, I, the Tushan clan, rely on you.
"Can you all know the six kinds of music?"
Feng Qingyan asked again.
Everyone was stunned again when they heard this, and some people looked a little confused.
This may not be a question of whether you know it, but maybe you don’t know what the six joys are, or you only know one or two of them...
"What is Liule?"
There were students on the lawn asking in low voices.
"have no idea."
"It seems that there is a kind of music and dance mentioned in Zhou Rites. The name is..."
In fact, half of the literati here may not be able to name Liule, but most of them have heard of it. However, basically no one knows Liule...
This is true even for quasi-great scholars such as Ning Song.
At this moment, they couldn't help but look at each other, as if asking, can you? However, the answer they received was that they shook their heads slightly.
Won't!
"The six Confucian music are respectively "Yunmen Dajuan", "Daxian", "Dashao", "Daxia", "Dayi" and "Dawu".
Feng Qingyan pondered for a while and said.
However, the students at the foot of the hillside were a little dazed. Didn't they say that they were talking about etiquette today? Why were they having fun while talking about it?
And, keep asking questions.
"Among the six kinds of music, what is sacrificing to gods? What is sacrificing to earth gods? What is sacrificing to the surroundings? What is sacrificing to mountains and rivers?"
Feng Qingyan asked again.
"The "Yunmen Dajuan" is a sacrifice to the gods of heaven, the "Daxian" is a sacrifice to the earth gods, the "Da Shao" is a sacrifice to the four directions, and the "Da Xia" is a sacrifice to the mountains and rivers."
At this moment, Tu Ning answered, attracting everyone's attention again.
"What is Le De?"
Feng Qingyan asked.
"Zhong, harmony, only, mediocrity, filial piety, and friendship are the six virtues of happiness."
The seventh princess answered loudly.
Feng Qingyan nodded and asked again: "What is Le Yu?"
The Seventh Princess frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Xing, Dao, satire, recitation, speech, and speech, these are the six languages of happiness."
"What is rhythm?"
"Huangzhong, Taicu, Guxi, Ruibin, Yize, Wushe are the six yang laws; Dalu, Jiazhong, Zhonglu, Linzhong, Nanlu and Yingzhong are the six yin laws." The Seventh Princess.
I said it in one breath, and I felt happy in my heart.
Because she founded Fengming Qin Society, she checked a lot of information and happened to see it.
Many students down the hillside changed their expressions slightly, because they didn't know this. Even Ji Lun was like this...
"What is the sound of music?"
As soon as Feng Qingyan's words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This, I understand!
"Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu, are the five sounds of music."
Many people spoke up to show that they knew.
"What are the eight notes of music?"
When Feng Qingyan asked again, many students were stumped.
However, Ji Lun blurted out: "Gold, stone, silk, bamboo, gourd, soil, leather, wood."
Feng Qingyan nodded and said: "Six virtues, six languages, six rhythms, six tones, five tones, eight tones, and six dances form a great harmonious music, so that ghosts and gods can harmonize all nations, harmonize all peoples, and comfort guests.
Use it to speak to people from afar and use it as an animal. This is the ritual..."
"...To bring harmony to the ghosts and gods, to bring harmony to all nations, and to harmonize all peoples..."
Ning Song thought to himself, always feeling like he was about to catch something, but he was still a little short.
The old teacher thought silently in his heart, as if he had caught something.
At this moment, Feng Qingyan said again: "If we talk about governing the people safely, we must not be good at etiquette. What about the way to govern people?"
Everyone started to think about it, but the more they thought about it, the more anxious they became, and the more anxious they became, the less they could figure it out.
Feng Qingyan did not rush to continue talking and let them continue to think. Even Ning Song and other would-be scholars were thinking seriously.
Today, Mr. An is not only giving lectures, but also testing their knowledge...
"The way to govern people is not to be impatient with etiquette."
After a moment, Tu Ning hesitated and said, not sure.
"good!"
Feng Qingyan smiled and nodded.
At this time, everyone looked at Tu Ning in shock. Tu Lu couldn't help but clenched his pink fist tightly, looking quite excited.
"What are the three books of rites?"
Feng Qingyan asked again, but when no one answered, he said: "Heaven and earth are the foundation of life; ancestors are the foundation of species; kings and teachers are the foundation of governance. Without heaven and earth, evil arises? Without ancestors, evil comes out? None
The ruler and master will govern badly? If the three of them die, there will be no peace for the people. Therefore, etiquette serves the heaven above and the earth below. Honoring the ancestors and honoring the ruler and master are the three foundations of etiquette."
"What are the similarities and differences between rituals and rituals?"
Feng Qingyan continued.
"Music comes from the middle, and etiquette comes from the outside. Music comes from the middle, so it is quiet; etiquette comes from the outside, so it is written. Great joy must be easy, and great etiquette must be simple. When there is great joy, there will be no resentment, and when there is great etiquette, there will be no fighting."
Tu Ning answered again.
"anything else?"
"Those who are happy are the same, and those who are polite are different. If we are the same, we will love each other, and if we are different, we will respect each other."
"More?"
"Music refers to the harmony of heaven and earth; ritual refers to the order of heaven and earth. Harmony means that all things are transformed; order means that all things are differentiated."
"Great happiness is in harmony with heaven and earth."
"The great gift is the same as heaven and earth."
"Happiness is created by heaven, and rituals are controlled by earth. If it is not controlled, it will lead to chaos, and if it is too much, it will be violent. If it is understood in heaven and earth, then rituals and music can be established."
"Rituals are in line with the people's hearts, music is harmonious with the people's voices, government is carried out, and punishments are used to prevent them. If rituals, music, punishments, and government are extended to all directions without contradicting each other, then the royal way is ready."
