Chapter 451 Water Mirror
Liu Jing paid respects to Song Zhong as a disciple, and then greeted Qi Wukai, who was next to Song Zhong, who was wearing a long sleeve and a white beard hanging down his chest.

Qi Wukai's style name is Guangming, and he is an old man of Qide. He has learned the Five Classics thoroughly, and his name is inferior to Song Zhong.

When Liu Biao set up the school, he ordered Song Zhong and Qi Wukai to compose "Five Classics", "Book of Changes", "Book of Changes", "Poetry", "Li", "Chunqiu" on the grounds that "the chapters and sentences of the Five Classics are cumbersome and far from the essence". The so-called "Hou Ding", as a textbook for Jingzhou official studies, has greatly improved the efficiency of students' learning.

Since the study of Wenjing has become an official school, it has been prosperous to the extreme for hundreds of years, so that a commentary on a classic is often worth millions of words, which has caused the plight of scholars who are not able to master a single art.

The ancestor Guangwu once studied in Taixue and was well aware of its disadvantages. He once asked Zhong Xing, who was proficient in "Yanshi Chunqiu", to "define "Chunqiu Chapters and Judgments", remove its repetition, and give it to the crown prince."Emperor Han Ming also "made his own "Five Schools Say Chapters and Sentences".

The emperor Huan Rong and the famous official Zhang Huan also made large cuts to the scriptures, but they were still not systematic until Liu Biao ordered Song Zhong and Qi Wukai to compile the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences".

Moreover, "Five Classics Zhangju Houding" is not limited to modern classics. For example, "Zhouyi Zhangju" included in "Five Classics Zhangju Houding" is based on the ancient Chinese classic "Fei Shiyi".

This is the first time since this dynasty that the study of ancient Chinese classics has become a textbook for official studies. Liu Biao's move can be regarded as a pioneering move.Song Zhong and Qi Wukai also established the status of a generation of Confucianism by virtue of the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences Later".

Although Qi Wukai is an elder of Confucianism, he did not dare to trust Liu Jing, and returned the courtesy with a smile.

There is another person standing beside Song Zhong, who is about fifty years old, average in stature, ugly in appearance, but has a certain elegance.

After Zhuge Liang's introduction, Liu Jingfang knew that this person was "Mr. Shui Jing" Sima Hui.

To be honest, Liu Jing was quite surprised. Sima Hui was a celebrity in China, who could have imagined that his appearance was so unbearable.

It is said that when Sima Hui lived in seclusion in Yuliangzhou before, Liu Cong heard his name and went to visit him. At that time Sima Hui was plowing and hoeing in his home. Liu Cong saw his ugly appearance and simple clothes, and thought he was a servant of the Sima family. He asked: "Is Mr. Sima at home?" Sima Hui replied, "I am."

As a result, Liu Cong yelled from left and right: "Yong! General Zhulang wants to see Lord Sima, you garden slave, how dare you pretend to be Lord Sima?"

Sima Hui is a "good gentleman", without the lofty arrogance of ordinary celebrities, and he doesn't get angry when he is scolded, so he returns home immediately, shaves his head and wears a headband, and comes to see Liu Cong.Liu Cong knew he had made a mistake, so he apologized to Sima Hui with a big salute.

Liu Jing and Sima Huisu had no intersection. When Sima Hui was studying in Xiangyang, Sima Hui still lived in seclusion in Yuliangzhou, but Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xiang Lang and others had all studied under Sima Hui and had personal friendships, so they seemed very different. Hot outside.

Liu Jing is also quite concerned about Sima Hui, and his words are very close. He is different from Song Zhong and Qi Wukai, and he is by no means a simple "teacher". "Shui Jing" is a rare talent.

Zhuge Liang once said that Sima Hui didn't have no intention of official career, but knew that "Liu Biao's nature is dark and will harm good people", so when he met Liu Biao, he deliberately hid his clumsiness, willing to be treated as a young scholar, and hid in the official school to teach and educate people.

In history, Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, intending to reuse Sima Hui, but Sima Hui was seriously ill at that time, and died soon after, leaving only a few fables and the name "Water Mirror". drowned in the waves of history.

Liu Jing didn't have much confidence in recruiting Sima Hui in his heart, so he planned to let Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong test each other's tone in private.

Next, Liu Jing met several officials, scholars, and officials of Cao, and then said in public: "Since Dong Zhuo's chaos in the country, for more than ten years, the world has collapsed, people's love has changed, discipline has declined, Confucianism and Taoism have fallen into disarray." Worse. Although Liu Jingzhou has a lot of unsatisfactory things, when the country is in chaos and when the rites are late, the revival of literature and prefaces, the prosperity of Chinese studies, is from the beginning.”

Liu Jing affirmed Liu Biao's achievements in Xingxue.Liu Biao has been in charge of Jingzhou for more than ten years. During this period, he has won the hearts of the people for his lenient government and kindness. As the final winner, Liu Jing speaks a few good words to the losers. If you can use this to gain people's hearts, why not do it.

Liu Jing's words had an extremely significant effect as expected, and then invited teacher Song Zhong to take a ride together and enter the school city.

The school cities all over the world are built in imitation of Taixue, and Jingzhou official school is no exception. It is composed of three major parts: the teacher's house (doctor's house), the student's alley (Zhusheng's alley), and the inner and outer podiums.

Among them, the foreign podium is the landmark building of Jingzhou official school. It is ten feet long and three feet wide.

Liu Jing's car went around the outer podium and stopped in front of the lobby door. Liu Jing entered the hall, and as soon as he sat down, he ordered someone to fetch bamboo paper and put it in front of the cases of Song Zhong, Qi Wukai, Sima Hui and others.

Looking at the earthy-yellow paper in front of him, Song Zhong couldn't help but let out a "huh" and took a piece of paper in his hand, only to feel that the paper was firm and tough, even and smooth, and he couldn't put it down for a while.

Song Zhong is well-informed, but he has never seen such fine paper, including the famous Zuo Bo paper, which is far inferior to this paper.

Song Zhong looked at Liu Jing and asked eagerly, "Zhongda, where did you get this paper? Leiyang? No, I have used a lot of Leiyang paper, and it is definitely not as good as this."

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Sir, I also know that my disciple is good at calligraphy. When I brush ink, I often feel that the paper is flimsy and unsatisfactory, so I want to make paper that is usable. After many attempts, my disciple finally made it out of tender bamboo. Good paper."

"Tender bamboo?" Song Zhong, Qi Wukai, Sima Hui and others were all stunned upon hearing this.

As far as they know, the raw materials for making paper are mainly soft things such as bark, linen, and fishing nets. Although tender bamboo has the word tender, it is bamboo, and the material is hard. How can paper be made?

Liu Jing didn't explain much about this, the technique of making bamboo paper is Jingnan's top secret, how can it be leaked at will.

Song Zhong, Qi Wukai, and Sima Hui obviously also knew that this matter involved confidentiality, so they didn't ask any more questions.

When Liu Jing mentioned that bamboo paper has been mass-produced and is gradually replacing bamboo slips as the carrier of Jingnan official documents, Song Zhong was overjoyed and immediately asked Liu Jing for bamboo paper.

Liu Jing happily agreed to give ten thousand sheets of bamboo paper to the official school, and then said: "The ancestors of the past were ordered to recruit talents and talents, Guangwu Zhongxing, and all the talents have arrived. Now Jingzhou is set up, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. It is the time for employing people. Students, all of them are outstanding in the country, I want to refer to the A and B examinations of Taixue to select talents, what do you think, sir?"
