Chapter 4 I am a man of culture

Huang Shang spread out "The Analects of Confucius" and put it on the desk.

Lines of small regular characters are printed into the eyes, square, smooth, meticulous, and neat as if they were printed with type.

Since it is the same, it is obviously not printing.

Although woodblock printing existed in the Tang Dynasty and was developed and perfected by Bi Sheng in the Song Dynasty, movable type printing was born, but it was not within the reach of ordinary students.

This volume of Analects was completely copied, using the font commonly used in examination rooms, Guange style, which is well known to later generations.

However, Guange style is a term from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. In this era, it was called Sanguan regular script.

Huang Shang turned over page after page.

This is what "he" wrote.

Not only is it beautiful and neat, but it also has a sharp edge and has everyone's style.

The only drawback is that the paper used is very rough and the pen and ink on the side are of inferior quality.

No other reason.

poverty!

Huang Shang's background was not good.

If he was born into a famous family, given the power of scholars in the Song Dynasty, it would be impossible for his family to be killed by martial arts men later.

In the room, which was not spacious at this time, there were stacks of books, all of which Huang Shang had transcribed word for word.

Practice in the summer and practice in the winter.

There is no slack day.

This is the future champion!

It has been half a month since I became Huang Shang.

During this period of time, Huang Shang successfully inherited Huang Shang's knowledge.

Facts have proved that his judgment was accurate. Duan Zhengchun took the Jianghu route, while Huang Shang took the historical route.

If you don’t know that this world is the Eight Tribes of Heaven and Dragon, you will feel like you have traveled back to the Song Dynasty.

I thought that integrating into ancient life would be boring, but I was unexpectedly impressed.

At this time, Huang Shang spread out a piece of paper, grinded it, held the pen, and wrote four sentences on it:

Establish a mind for heaven and earth! Establish a destiny for the living people! Continuing the unique teachings of the past saints! Creating peace for all generations!

The pen moved quickly and smoothly, and it was completed in one go. When Huang Shang looked at the words written by himself on the paper, he couldn't hide the smile on his face and murmured: "I am also a cultural person!"

On earth, he is a scumbag.

If I hadn't been able to study and didn't even go to college, I wouldn't have gone to Hengdian with the dream of becoming a star.

Are you a celebrity? What is CNKI? Cultural knowledge is secondary.

Before Huang Shang came to the heavens, he might not have had as much knowledge as a primary school student.

Especially when it comes to writing, I can't stand it.

He had imagined the glorious moment of walking on the red carpet and signing his name, and he even practiced his signature.

Be sure to write the signature as "Emperor" in a domineering manner.

However, due to my poor foundation and my reluctance to find a professional person to design it, my signature looked crooked like an "eel", which was really unsightly.

The past is hard to look back on.

Finally one day, the scumbag in elementary school changed.

Knowledgeable and memorized, full of knowledge!

With this foundation, Huang Shang immediately decided to continue studying after coming into contact with the world.

This is actually the general trend of the dynasty.

Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.

This is the idea that the Song Dynasty has been promoting for less than a hundred years since the founding of the country.

Even Song Zhenzong has a poem that has been passed down through the ages: There is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beauty like jade in the book.

It's not a metaphor, it's a real reality.

Because these two sentences are abbreviated versions, the real chapter is like this:

Rich families don’t need to buy fertile farmland; they have thousands of grains of millet in their books.

There is no need to build a high hall to live peacefully. There is a golden house in the book.

When you go out, don’t regret having no one to follow you. There are so many cars and horses in the book.

When marrying a wife, don’t hate an unscrupulous matchmaker. There is a beauty in the book.

The man wanted to fulfill his life ambitions and read the Five Classics diligently in front of the window.



These words are absolutely no exaggeration. The status and welfare of scholar-bureaucrats can be imagined.

To give another more practical example, later generations know that the Song Dynasty valued culture over military affairs, but how heavy and how light was it specifically?

In the Song Dynasty, the contribution of military generals to the expansion of territory was not as glorious as the honor of being named on the golden list of literati.

The title on the gold list means Jinshi. Note that it is not the number one scholar. The number one scholar is the first place, and the number of Jinshi will be more.

In each imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, there were probably more than 300 Jinshi places.

Accumulated over the years, one-tenth of the entire civil servants in the imperial court were born as Jinshi.

Of course, this is a big wave, one in a thousand, but looking at a country, how many people open up its borders and expand its territory?

That can go down in history!

As a result, in the Song Dynasty, the benefits were not as good as being a Jinshi!

In this case, before gaining fame, it would be foolish to give up writing and join the army, or join the martial arts.

Even if you want to change the system, you have to stand at the top. When you are at the bottom, it is impossible to change the injustice. Only by getting ahead can you have a chance!

Just as I was intoxicated with the pleasure of writing and writing, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Huang Shang opened his mouth, and a man wearing servant clothes walked in.

There is no gentle maid, no cute sister, and no eternal enemy.

There was only one servant beside Huang Shang, who was hired.

This is very convenient, after all, we are not particularly close people.

These days, Huang Shang replaced the original Huang Shang. The servant didn't notice it. After entering, he bowed meticulously: "Alang, it's dinner time."

Huang Shang nodded and put down his pen: "Let's go."

For modern people, three meals a day is a habit, but in ancient times it was basically two meals a day.

In the entire Song Dynasty, only Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, the capital, was used to having three meals a day, from the emperor to the common people.

Fortunately, this is Kaifeng Mansion.

When Huang Shang walked out of the dilapidated courtyard, a wave of people rushed towards him.

Huang Shang adapted quickly to this majestic and graceful city.

After all, I used to hang out in major film and television studios all day long, and I also joined the ancient production crews with exquisite costumes and props, and also went to Shuntian Mansion, the capital of the Qing Dynasty. The difference is not that big, but it is much more real than Along the River During the Qingming Festival.

Of course, compared with the TV series, there are still many differences.

The most obvious misunderstanding in the Qing Dynasty was about braids, and the most obvious misunderstanding in the Song Dynasty was about sedan chairs and horses.

It seems to be an ancient practice for civil servants to ride in sedans and military attachés to ride horses. However, in fact, in the Song Dynasty, civil servants did not ride in sedans and rode on tall horses.

You must know that the Song Dynasty lacked horses. It is perfectly feasible to find an excuse to ride in a sedan chair. However, today's literati hate treating people as animals. It is not like the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations. There was no shortage of horses, but the civil servants were so weak that they could not even climb on the back of a horse.

Yes, I can't walk without taking a sedan chair.

Of course, because horses were rare in the Song Dynasty, the cost of raising one was not small.

With Huang Shang's current worth, he can't afford it.

So when traveling, you either need to stretch your legs or rent a horse.

At this time, Huang Shang signaled, and the servant looked left and right, then quickly walked to the street.

The man was standing next to some horses. When he saw Huang Shang's master and servant approaching, he immediately smiled and said, "Guest, do you want to rent a horse?"

The servant nodded, handed over the money, picked the strongest horse, and Huang Shang got on the horse.

This kind of horse renter is equivalent to the taxi driver in later generations, who brings several horses waiting for people to rent them.

Huang Shang was not the only poor person, and the speed of horses was much faster than walking, so this industry came into being.

Horse renters like this can be seen everywhere in Kaifeng Prefecture, and they earn a lot of money.

Huang Shang just went out to eat, which didn't have to be the case, but he sat upright on the tall horse, and his field of vision suddenly broadened. He kept scanning his eyes, writing down the streets one by one, and thinking from other people's perspective.

If he is a reincarnation person, after coming to Kaifeng Mansion, besides specifying the target, where will he usually go?

This is related to whether the reincarnator can appear naturally and inadvertently expose his identity as Huang Shang when he appears.

When Jiang Taigong fishes, even if he is willing to take the bait, he must be above the Wei River.

Otherwise, we'll see who will ask him to come out...

I was contemplating several scripts when a loud call suddenly came from behind:

"Huang Shengzhong! Huang Shengzhong!"
