Chapter 204 Six Arts of Confucian Scholars and First Class Scholars
In the Fenglin courtyard, in front of the stone table.

When a woman like Lan uttered the words "the road is obstructed and long", the air became quiet.

Inside the teacup on the table, the curling white smoke gradually thinned out.

At the gate of the courtyard, two academicians who were waiting in front of the teacher looked inside the door, and then looked at each other curiously.

Beside the stone table, the two academy gentlemen were speechless.

Yan Jidao stared at the bright-eyed Confucian woman in front of him.

He knew that the trend of their conversation at the moment meant asking questions, and the next step was likely to be a serious discussion about their own Confucianism and Taoism, questioning and demonstrating each other, so that both sides would sharpen their way.

Even if they talked for three days and three nights, Yan Jidao didn't find it strange.

However, he wasn't prepared to agree.

Yan Jidao picked up the teacup, but only touched the rim of the cup with his lips, and then put it down. He looked up at Zhu Weirui, nodded, and shook his head again.

Zhu Weirui's bright eyes gradually dimmed, she also nodded, and smiled slightly, "Today, if you bother me, senior will return to the academy some other day, and Weirui will come to the door to apologize with a gift. If there is nothing wrong, I will take my leave first."

"Mr. Zhu is polite, this old man will send this note to Zhao Ziyu, please go slowly."

Zhu Weirui put away her own teacup, got up and saluted, then turned and left.

While stroking his beard, Yan Jidao watched Zhu Weirui's back as he left.

He didn't ask Zhu Weirui, because he was very unfamiliar with calligraphy and didn't know much about it, but also because Yan Jidao didn't like Zhu Weirui's "leftist way" and didn't think calligraphy could give birth to a new way of calligraphy.

In his view, isn't calligraphy the carrier of words for poems, songs, and scriptures?

Official script, cursive script, regular script, as long as the writing is correct, clear and not ugly, as for how beautiful these characters are, it is not necessary. Excessive pursuit is just putting the cart before the horse and wasting energy.

Can you still write flowers?
Where are the Daoist essays written by the various schools of thought created by the various schools of thought at Jixia Academy?As long as you can be very subtle, knowledgeable articles have insight into the way of heaven, even if you write ghosts and symbols, God will have to pinch your nose to recognize it.

Besides, let’s not mention the special characters of the primordial ten thousand races, just say that the ancestors of the human race created characters with the original intention and intention, just as a way and tool to record the language and make it pass on for a long time.

Today, over tens of thousands of years, the calligraphy that has been developed to pay attention to writing is nothing but the idle and boring interest of the ordinary scholars of the Yamashita Dynasty.

The monks of the hundred schools on the mountain put their main energy on the heaven and earth, and they have never heard of any mortal who can enter the Tao by studying calligraphy. How can the monks of the hundred schools care about such a small technique under their noses.

These are not just Yan Jidao's understanding, this is actually the default common sense in the entire Xuanhuang cultivation world.

Calligraphy is not like painting Dao and Le Dao. The latter two can embody the "Da Dao" and are recognized monks' roads. As for calligraphy, apart from the meaning that a single character thinks given to it, how can it go away? Self-expression, to contain the Dao like a whole article?

In history, there were people who didn't believe in evil and wanted to try. They also wanted to use the Dharma to enter Taoism. However, in the end, whoever didn't hit the south wall had a bloody head, and the most recent famous "example" was in Lin Lu Academy.

In front of Yan Jidao.

Yan Jidao watched Zhu Weirui's back disappear from sight, and sighed softly.

This woman must be very lonely, living in a Confucian academy, surrounded by fellow students of the same school, but she couldn't find a "commoner"...

He slowly looked back.

Confucianism in the Xuanhuang Realm has six arts, which have been explored by Confucian sages for tens of thousands of years.

Jing Yi Yi.

Poetry and art.

Etiquette.

Le Yi.

Chess.

painting art.

For these six arts, Confucianism has a corresponding way of cultivating Taoism, and mature cultivation methods for Confucian students to choose and study.

These are also the six arts that the new students of the Confucian Academy must learn in the first year after admission.

Among them, it is divided into two major arts and four minor arts.

The two major arts are classics and meanings, poetry and prose.

Si Xiaoyi is the remaining four.

Zhu Weirui gave up Confucianism, Confucianism and Taoism, which had a bright future, and turned to the "small art" of calligraphy. This matter was not only widely spread within Confucianism, but also had a lot of repercussions among other schools of thought.

"First-class Confucian scholar, why bother to leave Jixia Academy and come to this small Wangque Island..."

Yan Jidao turned his head and stared at the distant mountain, muttering.

For monks of the Hundred Schools, the transition from a scholar to a gentleman is extremely difficult.

Taking Confucianism as an example, new students who enter a Confucian academy can obtain the title of scholar as long as they can be accepted by the master of the academy.

But the title of gentleman is very difficult, the proportion is very small, and there are only a few middle-level Confucian academies, and they are the mainstay of the school.

Once awarded the title of Gentleman by Zhongzhou Confucian Temple, even an unknown person can instantly become famous in Jiuzhou 72 Academy.

Just like the new gentleman of Siqi Academy that Zhao Rong learned about in the Shanshang Mansion newspaper not long ago.

The first-class Confucian scholars are a special existence among the vast number of Confucian scholars.

The Zhongzhou Confucian Temple takes a certain number of years as a period. Among all the young Confucian scholars in this period, a small group of scholars with the most potential are selected, and they are included in the roster and marked as first-class scholars.

The Confucian Temple focuses on observation and training.

They are all candidates for the gentleman.

Zhu Weirui is such an existence.

Scholars talent, great cultivation.

They are all the top among Confucian scholars of the same generation.

Originally, the future is great, the gentleman is hopeful, and the female gentleman can be included in the annals of Confucianism, becoming one of the few existences and remembered by future generations. After a period of time, there will be several people who hit the south wall.

Yan Jidao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly frowned slightly.

This time Zhu Weirui came to Linlu Academy, but for some reason, the head of the mountain asked her to be an art teacher.

This matter has gradually been criticized and discussed in the academy.

It's not that she is not qualified to be the art teacher of the new students - if even the first-class Confucian scholars are not qualified to pass on the arts to the new students, then other ordinary gentlemen should simply be dismissed and go back.

There are complaints from all over the academy that the head of the mountain actually approved the seventh art besides the "six arts of Confucian scholars" taught by Zhu Weirui, which is the calligraphy art she named.

Looking at Jiuzhou 72 Academy, this behavior is the first time.

Even if you are Mr. You Lan who is welcomed by all the men in the academy, you can't mess around with such bad manners.

Suddenly, Yan Jidao seemed to remember something, he got up and went to the house, and took out the homework papers handed in by his disciples in the past.

This has been corrected by his big disciple Li Jinshu before.

Yan Jidao rummaged through it, and pulled out a particularly conspicuous scroll. After flipping through it, it was indeed signed by Zhao Ziyu.

　Thank you brothers for voting for Jianniang's monthly ticket, thank you!
