The blue-robed scholar spoke again, but at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, he wanted to break the jar and vow to embarrass Song Mu.
Since Song Mu said that understanding the path to study is the most precious, I still don’t know this, but I don’t know, Song Mu, can you set an example for us, and don’t just talk about it?
This was already full of provocation. When I said it, there was silence in the venue.
At that moment, Li Dong was about to stand up and angrily scold the ignorant scholar, but Song Mu reached out to stop him. At this moment, Song Mu just looked at him and then scanned the people around him.
"That's okay. I think you all want to see Song write such an article about studying?"
Everyone nodded, and many of them had a look of expectation in their eyes. Although the blue-robed scholar made the crowd a little embarrassed, for them, what they wanted to see more was the article written by Song Mu.
.
After all, many poems and articles of Song and Mu have been circulated in the world, but it is difficult for people to see them with their own eyes.
Song Mu also smiled slightly when he saw this, nodded slightly, and said to everyone.
"In that case, I will also write an article. It seems that there is quite a connection between it."
Song Mu said this with some emotion, as if he suddenly recalled the past.
"This is something Song's master, Mr. Huangfu, told me. At that time, when he was studying in the Northern Kingdom, he met an old Confucian scholar who had a nephew who studied at Chang'an Imperial College, but because of his arrogance and ignorance, he
If you regress in your practice, you will be sent back."
"He taught me several times and even scolded Mr. Huangfu in front of him. At that time, he talked about how difficult it was to study. After what he said, both the master and the nephew were very moved."
"Song will write down the original story today, hoping to share it with everyone."
Hearing this, many people in the venue immediately stood up. This time they all looked at Song Mu, their eyes widening.
But the blue-robed scholar's face suddenly froze. Although he was indeed angry about what he said just now, but now that he woke up, he realized what he had done.
But after the words were spoken, the blue-robed scholar did not want to lose his momentum and just looked at the scene.
At this moment, Song Mu was just laying paper on the desk again, then grinding the ink and picking up the pen.
Qin Gang and Li Dong also stood up immediately and stood next to Song Mu to watch.
After a while, Song Mu put down his pen and began to write on the paper.
"I was obsessed with learning when I was young, but my family was poor and I had no way to read books... It was very cold, the inkstone was hard, and my fingers could not be bent or stretched..."
Song Mu slowly started writing. At this moment, everyone looked over with wide eyes. As someone next to him began to recite this article softly, everyone's expressions were different for a while.
What Song Mu wrote is an article about the path to study, and in this article, every sentence is described in a straightforward manner, but it clearly reveals the difficult situation of a scholar studying.
"Yu Li waited on the left and right, leaning over to ask questions and ask questions; or when he was yelling at someone, he would become more respectful and courteous, and would not dare to say a word; when he was pleased, he would ask again...
…”
When Song Mu wrote this sentence, many scholars in the audience grinned, as if they had seen what they once looked like, and were actually a little relieved.
Song Mu slowly started writing, writing hundreds of words eloquently on the paper.
As the article went on, everyone became clearer and clearer, and everyone finally saw the difference.
"If his work is not perfect and his virtues are not perfect, it is not because of his low nature, but his heart is not as sharp as my ears. Is it anyone else's fault?"
But when Song Mu wrote this sentence, everyone in the scene suddenly became stunned, and this time they felt a little confused and enlightened.
What it says above is that the path to study has been replaced by the encouragement to study. However, the difficulty of studying for the ancestors is compared with the ease of studying for the descendants. If the study is not as good as that of the predecessors, it is just the fault of one's own inattention.
When these words come out, it is already saying that a person is not expert in learning, is extremely slack, and has already revealed his philosophy.
At that moment, someone was stunned, looking at Song Mu writing quickly, and murmured.
"Master Song wrote it like this, as if he had Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning" and Mr. Chang Li's "Teacher's Theory" right in front of him."
Everyone was stunned, but they couldn't stop nodding at this moment. When sighing at the splendidness of the article and the story, they couldn't help but admire the exquisite philosophy displayed by Song Mu.
Song Mu, on the other hand, wrote all the way down, and finally wrote the last sentence of this article.
"To say that people from Yu Mian Township are scholars is because of Yu's ambitions; those who slander me for boasting about my great fortune and being proud of my fellow villagers don't know what I am doing!"
When the article was finally completed, everyone once again exclaimed.
This article is written as a warning to the descendants from a literary forerunner. What it says is reasonable and well-founded. The principles in the future complement each other and the difficulties in studying before, and it is inspiring and enlightening.
Everyone had nodded, feeling that the article written by Song Mu had been completed by everyone, but the blue-robed scholar was standing in the crowd, but he lowered his head in shame when listening to these sentences.
Articles like these are the ones that have truly touched the hearts of everyone. It is only through the arduous path of study that we can realize these truths.
Song Mu also wrote the title for this article.
"Preface to Xuanyuan Scholar"
After the article was completed, there was a sudden surge of literary energy on it, and everyone was in an uproar. At this moment, they all looked at Song Mu.
Song Mu had already raised his hands to the crowd, and then looked at the crowd. Seeing the blue-robed scholar lowering his head in guilt, he immediately said to the crowd.
"The success of this article depends on the guidance of my ancestors. Now I write it with deep emotion. I ask you to share your encouragement with Song."
Everyone said yes, and most of them were sincerely convinced at this moment. Song Mu also took advantage of this and brought the topic back again. It seemed that all the conflicts that had just happened did not exist.
This made those people present who had the intention of causing trouble all look pale, and even felt a little ashamed. It turned out that all the things they had done to create difficulties were easily solved by Song Mu.
Song Mu quickly turned this theme into practice again, saying that studying is for practice. In addition to the remarks and articles just now, there is a new intention. When everyone is refreshed, they also know that studying requires humility.
The purpose of making things difficult is no longer for studying.
As a result, the atmosphere in this scene finally became much more harmonious.
After such a day, everyone had gained a lot, and Song Mu was also satisfied with it. After everyone dispersed, Li Dong also spoke next to Song Mu.
"Master, your lecture today was really wonderful. I don't think anyone will do this again after tomorrow."
Song Mu also nodded and sighed this time.
"These things are actually unavoidable. Xuanyuan Academy grabbed the limelight when it was first established. My practice has been criticized in the literary dynasty. Such debates based on academic grounds are inevitable."
"But it doesn't matter. What happened today, if everything changes again, you will have a way to deal with it."
"I can rest assured that I can leave all this to you."
Li Dong was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Song Mu with some confusion and asked.
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you think you will stay in this academy forever?"
Song Mu looked at Li Dong and nodded.
"Yes, after all, this literary journey is still very long, and I still have many things that I have not accomplished."
"Now that I finally have this strength, I have to resolve a lot of regrets from that relationship."
