The "Declaration Form" that Zhang Yue encountered in his dream.
"Declaration Form" is a famous calligraphy calligraphy written by Zhong Yao. It is said that Zhong Yao practiced calligraphy very diligently. Regardless of the occasion or place, he would write whenever he had time and practice whenever he had the opportunity. When sitting with others and chatting, he would practice on the ground around him. When he rested at night, he would practice calligraphy.
I used the quilt as paper, but over time, a big hole was made in the quilt.
However, the original post of the "Declaration Form" is said to have been sewed in the lapel of Wang's clothes and carried across the river by Director Wang during the Eight Kings Rebellion. He later gave it to his nephew Wang Xizhi, who in turn gave it to Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu liked this post very much.
After his death, he was buried with this post.
The "Declaration Table" that is now passed down is believed to have been presented by Wang Xizhi, and it was included in the "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" in the royal secret collection of the Song Dynasty.
When Zhang Yue wrote the first character "Shang" in the "Declaration Form", he encountered a setback and was not satisfied no matter how he wrote it.
Zhang Yue also knew that it was because his writing skills were not strong enough.
But luckily it took some effort.
In addition to talent, the most important thing in calligraphy is kung fu. Isn't Zhong Yao very diligent in practicing calligraphy? Even when sleeping, he scratched the quilt with his fingers, so that there was a big hole in the quilt.
But no matter how diligent Zhong Yao is, can he be as idle as himself?
While practicing calligraphy here, Zhang Yue's writing skills were as good as usual.
On weekdays, Zhang Yue couldn't bear to stay here for six hours, so he only read for five hours most of the time. Now Zhang Yue forced himself to write for six hours, so he persisted.
Moreover, Zhang Yue planned to study for two hours, then write for two hours, and finally read for two hours. If so, he would finish the six hours before quitting.
It rained all night long.
When Zhang Yue woke up the next day, the basin in the house was filled with rainwater.
Scenes of leaking huts have long been commonplace.
Zhang Yue dipped water into the earthen basin next to the bed and wrote the words "Shang Shu declares Sun Quan..." on the desk. His writing skills improved slightly at first sight.
Guo Lin was just coming back from washing up. Seeing Zhang Yue practicing calligraphy so diligently, he also thought it was a good idea, and then he also put his finger on the earthen basin beside the bed... After writing a few words, he didn't understand, and put it on the tip of his tongue...
Guo Lin and Zhang Yue put on their clothes, drank two bowls of porridge, and then went to the Zhang clan to study. Along the way, Zhang Yue saw Guo Lin frequently rubbing his fingers on the bark of the tree. For some reason...
They entered ethnic studies through the back door.
Yesterday when they walked through the main entrance, they had already figured out the general structure of the Zhang Clanology.
After entering the gate, the left side is the residence of professors and lecturers, and the right side is the dormitory place for students. Passing a gate to the north is Zhoujin Hall, with corridors in front and back, an inkstone pond in the center, and willows planted all over the courtyard.
.
Behind the day sleeping hall is the shooting garden in the center, the kitchen is in the northwest, and the school warehouse and library are in the northeast.
Jianzhou Fu School and Pucheng County School both had special transcription offices for the purpose of writing servants. Jianzhou Fu School even adapted to local conditions and even printed books for profit and collected money to support students.
Today they entered through the small gate in the northwest corner, which is where the cook comes in and out. When they passed the shooting garden, they saw many ethnic studies students already practicing shooting here.
Scholars in the Song Dynasty still had the ancient style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, with southerners practicing archery and northerners practicing horseback riding.
Then the two of them came to the door of the pavilion, and the steward of the pavilion opened the door for them.
Inside the pavilion door is the school warehouse and library, which are usually managed by a minister.
This minister was an old man in his fifties, with a stern face and an air of not disturbing strangers.
"Are you here to copy books?"
"Yes." Guo Lin saluted respectfully.
"Well, this is the place. You are not allowed to go upstairs, and you are not allowed to drink water or light candles in the pavilion. You must inform me before leaving the pavilion, and then you are allowed to leave. This is also the case when you go out to pay tribute..."
Guo Lindao: "Yes."
"Everything here is my decision. You can't object, otherwise you'll be kicked out!" the minister said sternly.
The library has two floors, and they copied manuscripts on the lower floor. The library is very small, with only two low desks, reed mats, pens, ink, paper and inkstones. It would be unbearable to copy here for a day.
The minister gave a few more instructions, went upstairs to get a book, locked the door and left.
Facing a desk full of pens, inks and papers, Zhang Yue now understood with empathy why Ban Chao put out his pen and shouted out the phrase, "The great man An Neng has been writing and inkstone for a long time."
Zhang Yue first studied ink and poured water in preparation. Later, a minister came here and brought a stack of manuscripts for Guo Lin to copy, but Zhang Yue did not have a draft.
Zhang Yue was stunned for a while and thought: "What is this?"
The commission letter is paid based on the number of pages per day. If you don't write a word, you will have no income.
"Senior brother, do you need help?" Zhang Yue asked Guo Lin, who was writing furiously after sitting silently for a while.
Guo Lin glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "No need."
Guo Lin's words were a little cold, and he seemed to be still angry from yesterday.
Zhang Yue couldn't stand the smell of dust in the room, so he walked outside to get some fresh air. He happened to see the minister just now sitting by the door of the pavilion, holding a book and reading carefully.
Even at such an old age, you are still so diligent in studying!
Zhang Yue finally understood why there have been so many outstanding librarians from ancient times to the present.
Zhang Yue walked back to the house again, and heard Guo Lin frowning: "Junior brother, can you stop walking around like this..."
Guo Lin felt that his words were a bit harsh again, so he softened his tone and said: "I know... you shouldn't have been like this yesterday... You have no work now, and you may have offended the chief of the prison. I will go with him later to make amends to him."
.”
Zhang Yue said: "Senior brother, we don't need to apologize."
Guo Lindao: "If you don't want to apologize, I will go and apologize. When you are new here, you have to endure everything."
Zhang Yue suddenly said: "Brother, I have gained some insights from reading Yi recently."
"What do you think?"
Zhang Yue said: "My experience is that 'the terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with great virtue'. The Book of Changes uses the Qian hexagram to represent the sky, and the Kun hexagram to represent the earth. Between Qian and Kun, there is one yin and one yang. The relationship between them is
For example, husband and wife, monarch and minister, host and guest, teacher and student, employer and employer...
"Therefore, the heaven is moving in a healthy way, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement, that is, when the gentleman is in the host position, and you are the husband, monarch, and father, you should constantly strive for self-improvement and not count on others. The terrain is weak, that is, when the gentleman is in the guest position, such as you are the wife or minister,
As a son, you should be a moral person, be as tolerant as possible, and cooperate with the boss."
In fact, Zhang Yue’s words come from the school motto of Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College, which is to strive for self-improvement and be virtuous.
Guo Lin stopped writing and said: "Do you want to use the Kun hexagram to describe your and my current situation?"
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "As expected of you, senior brother. You can understand immediately after hearing it. The Kun hexagram corresponds to the Qian hexagram, which can refer to the present day. We are new here, so we are guests."
"The hexagram Kun and Yuanheng are good hexagrams. There is a saying in the hexagram that a gentleman has a bright future. He must first lose his mind and then gain it. It is important for us to persevere."
Guo Lin nodded and said, "That makes some sense. You can tell me more about it."
Zhang Yue said: "The change from the six Yao lines is the change of the Tao. On the sixth day of the lunar month, we walk on the frost, and the solid ice arrives. It's like we are entering the guest house for the first time, just like the senior brother said just now, we are just here. At this moment, it seems that our feet are stepping on
There is frost above, but there is solid ice below, making you and I both uncomfortable."
"Sixty-two, the straight square is large, and there will be no disadvantage if you don't get used to it. Although you and I are new here, we have no conflict of interest with the chief executive, and it will not be disadvantageous to you, so you can rest assured."
"Sixty-three, you can be chaste, or you may work for the king, but there will be no success. As the saying goes, I am a guest, treat others with kindness, persistence is the most important, and you can do whatever the master tells you, without seeking any merit.
But I hope it will end."
Guo Lin clapped his legs and laughed and said: "Junior brother is right. How does the following change? How do you interpret six-four, six-five, and upper six?"
Zhang Yue thought for a while and said: "The first three lines of the six lines are the guest hexagrams, and the last three lines are the main hexagrams. Sixty-four means that the guest is the master."
"On June 4th, there is no blame or honor. At this time, you and I have become guests, just like half-hosts. But on the contrary, we must be more cautious and don't talk nonsense. It is best to have no merits and no faults.
"Sixty-five, Huang Shang, Yuan Ji. At this time, it is like the prime minister among the king and his ministers, the hostess who takes charge of the family on behalf of her husband, and the teacher's favorite disciple. This is the time when the host and the guest are most harmonious. The five lines are the hexagrams of merit."
"On the sixth day, the dragon is fighting in the wild, and its blood is black and yellow. At this time, the host and guest change places, the minister comes to the king, and the hen is in the morning, and there must be a fight with the original master's family."
Hearing this, Guo Lin laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting."
Zhang Yue said: "Therefore, it is said that the Kun Dao is in compliance with the law, and it follows the sky and moves in time. A family that has accumulated good deeds will have residual blessings, and a family that has accumulated bad deeds will have residual disasters. A minister will kill his king, and a son will kill his father. It does not happen overnight.
Therefore, the origin of it has come gradually, and it is not necessary to argue early because of the debate."
"This statement can be said to be the conclusion of Kun Gua."
Zhang Yue also didn't expect that he was just talking casually, but he had memorized a lot of hexagrams and articles in the I Ching, and he gradually became clear and clear like reading the text with his hands turned.
Zhang Yue remembered that these years seemed to flash by in his dream last night, and now...
The knowledge of the I Ching is neither profound nor mysterious, but it is so simple and clear.
While Zhang Yue was talking to Guo Lin, the minister outside the door stood outside the room and listened for a while, stroking his beard and smiling, showing that he had something interesting.
Zhang Yue and Guo Lin chatted for a while, and Guo Lin continued to be busy. He was also bored, so he immediately became addicted to sleep and fell asleep.
Not long after, I heard a bang!
Zhang Yue was woken up and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Heng standing in front of him.
Zhang Heng said: "You actually sleep during the day? I really don't know how your husband teaches you on weekdays?"
Zhang Yue glanced at Guo Lin, but saw that his face was full of shame and he was very ashamed.
Zhang Yue said: "Zhaizhang, I don't know the rule of Zijin Hall not to sleep during the day. The Zhanzhang doesn't arrange things, so I have to recuperate my energy."
You are not allowed to sleep during the day in Zujintang. Of course, this statement can be understood in reverse.
Zhang Yue is not a person who doesn't hold grudges. Zhang Heng said arrogant words to him twice and three times yesterday and today, but he just let it go once. How can he bear it if he doesn't retaliate today?
Even if I don't have a temper, I still get angry when I wake up.
Zhang Heng didn't expect Zhang Yue to dare to choke himself, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry.
At this time, the minister outside the door came in and said: "Chief, sir, it seems that I have something to ask you!"
Zhang Heng nodded, then threw a stack of papers on Zhang Yue's desk and said, "You have copied these. If you don't copy them well today, you won't need to use them tomorrow."
After saying this, Zhang Heng walked away.
Guo Lin on the side stepped forward to persuade Zhang Yue and said: "How did you say it just now? When you walk on frost, the ice will come. It's your first time here. Let's take our time as guests and take our time. Why are you angry with him?"
"That's what senior brother said."
Zhang Yue then saluted the minister and said, "Thank you very much for saving me."
The minister stopped, turned around, and said without denying, "Young Master is a smart man, but I advise you to restrain your temper, otherwise you will be here soon."
