The coronal needle of the sun's corona moves slowly, and the sky becomes brighter and brighter.
As the sun comes up, the spring cold dissipates, and Zhang Yue doesn't need to wear any more cold clothes, otherwise it will be like writing an article while having a runny nose due to the cold.
Zhang Yue has been sitting in front of the case and thinking for a long time. It is really uncomfortable to sit like this for a long time. Many scholars on the side have changed their positions.
Zhang Yue also moved slightly, rubbed his numb legs, and then looked at the test questions in front of him.
Before Dong Zhongshu wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, the world view at that time was mostly filled with ghosts and gods. However, when he transformed into a more practical view of heaven, he tried to analyze social philosophical issues using Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and the Book of Changes.
Zhang Yue wrote the character "王" on the manuscript paper. The upper horizontal line of the "王" character represents heaven, the lower horizontal line represents earth, and the cross can be used as a human character to connect between heaven and earth.
Dong Zhongshu directly said in Chun Qiu Fan Lu that the ancient writers who combined the three paintings were called kings. The three are heaven, earth and man. And the one who combines (three) paintings is the king.
Therefore, this is how the king reaches the heaven and the earth. This is explained from the word image.
Bai Hu Tong Principle records that when the king goes, the world will return. This is explained from the pronunciation of the word.
So how can a king who knows everything about heaven and earth write an article? How to solve the problem?
Zhang Yue raised his head and saw that the spring sky was high and the blue sky was vast. Countless scholars were among him under the eaves, and the occasional spring breeze blew the curtains that separated the corridor.
While the curtain was rising and falling, Zhang Yue's brow suddenly passed by.
Zhang Yue's frown twitched, and with the flick of the curtain on his brow, this moment was like an enlightenment, and all the obstacles in his chest were gone. Zhang Yue already had some concerns, and immediately raised his hand and wrote on the scroll, "The king leads the people."
, one in the world'.
This is the beginning of a poem, and it is also a break from the title. There are hidden waves at the bottom of the pen.
Chunqiu Fanlu is Dong Zhongshu's painstaking work, and its core viewpoint is the theory of the connection between heaven and man and the great unity.
During the two thousand years of feudalism, the two schools of Confucianism and Legalism have been fighting back and forth. Regarding each other's views, it can basically be said that your views are honey and the other's arsenic. What you agree with, I firmly oppose.
But only on the theory of great unification, there is a surprising consensus.
In other words, no matter what changes are made, the law remains unchanged, but the theory of great unification never changes.
This is the six kings, one in the four seas.
With this sentence, the whole article is like picking up the collar of a fur coat, and all the hairs on it suddenly become smooth.
With a break from the title, the entire article below can be centered around this theory. Zhang Yue continued to write, "The king leads the people, and the four seas are unified. The six concords are Mu De Feng, and the nine states share the same line. The king is ordered to control the first month to unify
All things in the world must be worshiped as a starting point.'
In the great unification, first the king rules the world, then the six states share the same virtue and the nine states share the same law.
Human morality and law extend throughout the world.
Confucianism and Legalism have differences here. Confucianism talks about common virtues, and Legalism talks about sharing laws. But to govern, you must use both Confucianism and Legalism.
After that, the king makes rituals and music... all the laws and conquests come from the king... this is the one in the world.
Zhang Yue finished the first paragraph quickly, and at the beginning of the second paragraph he said, "The husband, the king, must not be ignorant of heaven."
This is how the frame comes out.
Although the problem solving is exciting enough, if you insist on asking for praise in the palace examination, you will easily fail, which will make some examiners unhappy and make it difficult to enter the higher education. You must have your own opinions and opinions, but you must not show your sharpness and offend others.
The king leads all the people, and one man governs alone. Who will supervise it? We must learn from the mistakes of Qin's demise.
Zhang Yue went on to write that the king must observe the will of heaven, carry out the will of heaven, and follow the way of heaven and the way of humanity.
If Zhang Yue continues to write like this, he will be copying the theory of "the feeling of heaven and man", which lacks new ideas.
Zhang Yue changed his writing and quoted Mencius' "Heaven sees me and the people see me, and God listens to me the people listen". God's will is the public opinion, and the heart of heaven is the people's heart.
No matter how people understand the way of heaven, it is still people who understand it, not the true way of heaven, so it will ultimately fall into the human heart.
Is the human heart the heart of one person? No, it is the heart of all peoples.
In this way, the whole article is structured. The king has access to heaven, earth and people, and must uphold the way of heaven. The way of heaven is public opinion, and the king needs to always be aware of public opinion. If the people like it, he will do it, and if the people don't like it, he will not do it.
Such an article combines Chunqiu Fanlu and Mencius' valuing the people and putting the people first.
This was also the original intention of the letter I wrote to Wang Anshi.
My way is consistent.
Only when the writing is consistent with the ambition can one express his thoughts directly.
It can be said that Zhang Yue has a lot of knowledge in mind, and his writing is full of spirit. Each stroke seems not to be written on paper, but like an old official carving words on bamboo slips with a knife, or a craftsman carving on a stone wall with a chisel hammer.
Since this article appeared in the world, why have sages worked so hard, and why do some people spend their whole lives and blood to write this article?
The purpose is to convey the Tao through writing, not to be lost to the public, but also to leave a legacy for future generations.
When Zhang Yue finished his last stroke, he drew back his pen and finished a poem.
After Zhang Yue was writing, he realized that someone was standing beside him. When did the other person come and how long had he been standing beside him, he was not aware of it at all. He was so absorbed in what he was writing just now.
Zhang Yue lowered his head slightly and saw the hem of the other party's bright yellow robe. He was immediately shocked and hurriedly got up from the seat. Then he avoided the table and fell to the table, speechless for a moment.
The other party didn't say anything, but bent down and removed the paperweight from the case, picked up the paper he had just written, and looked at it in detail.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel uneasy at the moment, wondering how the other party would evaluate his article.
Finally, the man said to his left and right: "A good word."
There is not a word to comment on whether the test paper is good or bad. Could it be that my paper cannot satisfy the other party?
However, Zhang Yue knew that the other party was famous all over the world for his free handwriting. It was such a high praise to praise him for his good calligraphy.
Zhang Yue saw that several people in purple robes beside him all said yes.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, these guys should be in charge.
After saying that, the other party bent down again and put the test paper on his desk, pressed it down again with a paperweight and said: "Good test!"
"According to the decree."
Zhang Yue waited for the other party to leave, then stood up and sat on the table again. Looking at the flat test papers spread out on the desk, he felt excited for a moment.
Zhang Yue raised his head and looked at the emperor. The emperor was a little thin. Although he had reached the age where he knew his destiny, he had a refined and elegant demeanor.
Now he is patrolling the examination room accompanied by several purple-robed officials. He stops next to every candidate with a meticulous manner. During this period, he also talks to Han Qi and other officials, and he is quite approachable.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but put aside his previous prejudices. He was really a good official.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue took his eyes back to the scroll again, calmed down and continued writing. It was past noon, and there were still two questions.
At this moment, the eunuchs from the palace came with food tables.
There are candidates at every table, including pastries, side dishes, and a bowl of Qibao Leicha. This is really thoughtful.
Zhang Yue was also hungry, so he took a break. He put away the papers, then took a sip of the steaming Qibao Leicha, and immediately felt refreshed.
