A hundred flowers are blooming under the willows, and a beautiful feast is held in Qionglin.
The jade flute is on the fairy island and the moon is on the fairy island, and the silver candle is on the purple sky.
Sitting by the Lielong Pond, the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda is first.
I got drunk and helped me mount my horse, and my sleeves stirred up the smoke from the furnace.
Zhu Hengjia wanted to treat again. He didn't want to treat him at first, but just after the Battle of Huguang, the treasury was empty. When the cannon was fired, ten thousand taels of gold came out. It was not that he earned ten thousand taels of gold, but spent ten thousand taels of gold. Because of the lack of silver, he even asked
After Yan Tianfeng drove the Qing army out of Guangzhou, he stopped at the border of Guangzhou and Huizhou; he also sent envoys to recruit Li Chengdong. It is best to surrender without fighting. Save money!
But I really can’t do without an invitation to this meal! This is not an ordinary meal, it is the most important favor banquet among the four imperial examination banquets. The invitation is not ordinary people, but Zhu Hengjia’s small court, which selected scholars for the first time in the imperial examination.
One hundred top three-level Jinshi. Among them, the first-level award is given to Jinshi and the third person (number one, second place, third overall); the second-level is awarded to 17 people with Jinshi background; the third-level is awarded to 80 people with the same background as Jinshi.
This meal was originally supposed to be served in April, but it was delayed for half a year because of the war.
The four banquets of the imperial examination, as the name suggests, are four meals. There are civil and military examinations. Inviting military examiners to a meal is called "Yingyang Banquet"; inviting military examiners to a meal is called "Huiwu Banquet";
"Ming Banquet"; inviting Wen Jinshi to have a meal is called "Enrong Banquet".
The other three meals did not require Zhu Hengjia's invitation, but this "favor banquet" had to be hosted by Zhu Hengjia himself.
"Martial Arts" was created by Emperor Wu Zetian. Emperor Zetian did not like red makeup and preferred armed weapons, so he had two banquets, "Ying Yang" and "Hui Wu", which lasted until the Ming Dynasty.
The "Ying Yang Banquet" is hosted by the provincial-level officials in charge of the martial arts examinations. The examiners and the new martial arts examination candidates are invited. The "Ying Yang Banquet" means "the martial arts is soaring like an eagle".
The "Hui Wu Banquet" is invited by the officials of the Ministry of War, and those invited are new martial arts candidates. The martial arts palace examination is different from the martial arts provincial examination, so the scale of the martial arts banquet is much more grand than the Ying Yang Banquet. It is easier to recruit people to the Chinese martial arts, and the Chinese martial arts Jinshi
Difficult. Eighteen things must be mastered in martial arts: one bow, two crossbows, three spears, four knives, five swords, six spears, seven shields, eight axes, nine axes, ten halberds, eleven whips, twelve maces, thirteen axes
, fourteen pieces, fifteen forks, sixteen heads, seventeen cotton ropes and lassoes, eighteen white dozen.
In later generations, as long as you are proficient in any of these eighteen martial arts, you can call yourself a martial arts master and open a martial arts school to recruit apprentices. In this era, you have to be skilled in the eighteen martial arts to become a martial arts scholar and become a military commander.<

Where there are martial arts, there are liberal arts.
The "Deer Ming Banquet" is hosted by local officials and invites internal and external officials (examination room staff) and new science and education candidates. One theory is that it originated in the Tang Dynasty because "The Book of Songs Xiaoya" was sung at the banquet.
It got its name from the poem "Lu Ming": "Long Lu Ming"... It is also said that it originated in the Ming Dynasty. When banquets were held for people to have dinner, a dish of deer breast was served to show the emperor's great kindness and the importance he attached to talents. Deer and "Lu"
"" is a homophonic pronunciation, which means that passing the examination in a new subject is the beginning of entering "lu".
This banquet is held on the day after the provincial examination results are released. During the banquet, not only the poem "Lu Ming" is sung, but also the Kuixing Dance is performed. It is grand and lively. If you don't know how to sing and dance, it is best not to participate in the imperial examination to avoid embarrassment.
The "Enrong" banquet is so special that it must be invited by the emperor himself. Without an emperor, it is enough to supervise the country. The invitations are from the top three Jinshi and all the literary stars of the Ming Dynasty.
The "Enrong Banquet" originated from Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. At that time, he decreed that after being awarded a Jinshi, no one else was allowed to announce it. Only I, the emperor, could announce it. And he would invite the new Jinshi to have a meal in the royal garden: Qionglin Garden.
.So the banquet was called "Qionglin Banquet". After the second year of Zhenghe, it was renamed "Wenxi Banquet". In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was renamed "Enrong Banquet".
Although the Ming Dynasty officially called this meal the "Enrong Banquet", it originated from the "Qionglin Banquet" in the Song Dynasty, so the people often called this meal the "Qionglin Banquet".
In the Anhui Huangmei Opera "The Girl Attached to the Horse", there is a aria: "In order to save Li Lang from his home, who would have expected that he would be the number one on the imperial list... I have also been to the Qionglin Banquet, and I have also beaten horses in front of the street..." Lyrics
The "Qionglin Banquet" in "Qionglin Banquet" is the "Enrong Banquet" invited by Zhu Hengjia. From the singing, it can be determined that the "female consort" on the list of emperors must be from the Song Dynasty or after the Song Dynasty.

Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the new scholars sat in their seats. These are all talented people from our Ming Dynasty! You should take a good look.
Zhu Hengjia secretly took a look at these Jinshi, especially the three literary stars sitting at the top: number one, number two, and number three.
The one at the top is Wang Jiezhi, the new top scholar. He is forty-one years old. His courtesy name is Shizi and his name is Naiyuan. He is from Hengyang, Huguang. He has red lips and white teeth, an extraordinary air, a graceful demeanor, and a dignified appearance. At first glance, he can tell that he "has the spirit of poetry and calligraphy in his belly."
That kind of great talent is the eldest brother of the great Confucian king Fuzhi.
Zhu Hengjia knew that Wang Jiezhi was not only a good reader, but also a practical man who advocated applying what he learned. Historically, he was extremely dissatisfied with the trend of scholars at that time competing for empty talk and exalting their reputations. He once said to Wang Euzhi: "This is the time when scholars in the Han Dynasty called for
It is also a sign of disaster. Articles about mourning will appear in less than ten years."
As if he found Zhu Hengjia peeping at him, Wang Jiezhi smiled slightly. This smile was as gentle as the spring breeze and as warm as the morning sun.
Zhu Hengjia secretly praised him for being a great intellectual, showing his elegance in every move he made.
The one sitting below Wang Jie is the second best person in Xinke, Shi Dacheng. He is twenty-eight years old, named Jichao, and named Li'an. He is from Yinxian County, Zhejiang Province. This man was the official who was elected in the 13th year of Chongzhen. He is elegant, elegant, handsome and handsome.
Chic.
Zhu Hengjia gave special instructions that candidates from the Tatar-occupied areas, who were all righteous men with Ming dynasty in mind, would be arranged to take exams in Guilin, and accommodation would be provided free of charge during the exam period.
Zhu Hengjia watched Shi Dacheng, and the more he watched, the more he fell in love with him. I heard that this man had a very filial nature. Once his mother was sick and the medicine was ineffective. In his anxiety, he actually followed the ancients and cut off the flesh of the thigh and mixed it with medicine to treat his mother's illness. It became a good story in the local area. Historically, this man was the first number one scholar from Zhejiang Province in the Qing Dynasty. During the palace examination, his test paper was rated third. When Emperor Shunzhi saw that his regular script was neat, he said: "This man's regular script is neat, so he must be a gentleman." He was appointed by Emperor Shunzhi. For the number one scholar.

Zhu Hengjia likes Shi Dacheng because he feels that he has robbed Shunzhi of his talents. Happy!
You can’t read a book without borrowing it, and you can’t use it without grabbing it!
Sitting under Shi Dacheng is Lu Liuliang, a new beauty. He is 19 years old, from Chongde County, Zhejiang, and his courtesy name is Zhuangsheng.
This person is an undergraduate prodigy. He has been in Guilin for a year. He has passed the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination, and won the top prize.
Seeing the name Lu Liuliang, Zhu Hengjia was so happy that his thighs almost swelled. This Mr. Lu Liuliang is famous in history. He took it as his mission to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty all his life. He wrote books and theoretically profoundly explained the Manchu rule of China. Unreasonable. Even after he had been dead for many years, Emperor Yongzheng was so angry that he ordered his corpse to be dug out of his grave, executed, and launched a literary prison.
Lu Liuliang, who was "a very enlightened person when he was young, could not forget it even after reading it three times". At the age of 13, he entered the society with poetry and prose. He was knowledgeable and versatile, and had twenty-four unique skills, including "everything astronomy, prophecy, music rhythm, art of war, astrology, and arithmetic." , Linglan, Qingwu, Alchemy Sutra, Brahma Book, all are well understood. Gong calligraphy, can bend five stone arcs, and hit the target with arrows. Yu Zhi holds the goblet and throws the pot, plays the piano and plectrum, imitates the inkstone, and is a skill. They are all excellent. However, there is no such thing as a divine meeting, and people will not see their achievements and study hard."
He was not only talented in literature but also in martial arts. He dared to fight against the Manchus at the age of fifteen. When the Qing army went south to attack Emperor Hongguang, his third brother Lu Yuanliang followed Shi Kefa to guard Yangzhou. Lu Liuliang and his nephew Lu Xuanzhong (who was four years older than Lu Liuliang) dispersed the family wealth. He recruited volunteers to compete with the Qing troops who entered Zhejiang and fought against the Qing in the Taihu Lake area. Later, they fought against the Qing troops in Lanxi (downstream of Taihu Lake, near Wuzhen) and were defeated. Lu Xuanzhong was arrested and killed. Lu Liuliang was heartbroken and even "had hemoptysis as a child." , the death of Fang Lianggong (Lu Xuanzhong), he vomited for several liters, almost died."
Later, he called the collection of poems from this period "Wanganji". During the battle against the Qing Dynasty, he was hit by an arrow in his left thigh, leaving a lifelong wound. "Li Couple Geng Shi" records that "the scar from the arrow entered the bone and the vagina was painful. His disciple Yan Hongkui annotated: "The disciple said that he was hit by an arrow in his left buttock, and it always hurt when it rained."
Such a loyal and righteous man, if he were not too young at only nineteen years old, Zhu Hengjia would have wanted to give him the top spot.

Zhu Hengjia signaled to Tang Han, the minister of Guanglu Temple, that the dishes could be served and the meal was ready.
Dishes were served one after another.
You can't serve the dishes randomly, you have to follow the "Ming Huidian" conscientiously.
"Ming Huidian" clearly stipulates the banquet specifications for the Jinshi Enrong Banquet. It is so clear that it is difficult to change the name of the dish.
"Enrong Banquet" is divided into upper table, upper middle table, middle table and third class. There is no lower table. This is also a characteristic of Ming Dynasty. You can only go up but not down. There is one seat for each person at the upper table, and those who sit are the first-class Jinshi and the third class.
There are three people, namely the number one scholar, the second person, and the third flower. The people at the upper and middle tables are from the second class Jinshi, and the middle table is from the third class and the same Jinshi background. They sit separately. The dishes, snacks and wine are all served differently.
Serve the table: five plates of wine, five plates of fruit, five plates of tea and snacks, one chicken duck, one plate of small steamed buns, two plates of small silver ingots, two pieces of stick bones, one sheep back skin, two flower heads, and five soups
Taste, four-color dishes, one big steamed bun, one plate of extra mutton, and seven kinds of wine.

You cannot eat the food immediately after it is served, you must follow court etiquette.
The etiquette officer led the new Jinshi, and other officials saluted nine times, performing nine tunes and seven dances.
The first round played "Song of the Flame Spirit"; the second round played "The Song of Imperial Wind" and danced "Dance to Calm the World"; the third round played "The Song of the Emperor Ming" and danced "The Dance of Fuping the Four Barbarians"
"; the fourth round, played "The Song of Tiandao Zhuan" and danced "Dance of Cars and Books"; the fifth round, played "The Song of Zhenhuanggang" and danced "The Dance of Hundred Operas"; the sixth round, played

"Leaping in the Deep Dance"; in the ninth round, "The Song of Riding the Six Dragons" was played.
The wine and vegetables were delicious. Looking at the hundred new scholars, Zhu Hengjia suddenly found the kind of pride that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty had.
