Mountain Miscellaneous

Chapter 76 Shooting of the Six Arts, First Reading of "Book of Changes" (First Update) (Subscribe)

A deity makes a mountain, not its altitude.

Zhong Nanshan was originally unknown, but he was named after Li Changqing.

After some media missed the opportunity to interview Li Changqing, they took a team up the mountain to search.

But the cabin is located in the weeds, and there is a mountain cover.

It is difficult to find the address of the cabin without local villagers leading the way.

While the reporters were busy on the mountain, Li Changqing sat on a recliner and went into various schools of thought.

Next to the inkstone washing pool in the bamboo forest, Li Changqing painted the picture of "Clouds Dwelling, Bamboo Trees, Prosperous Orchids and Mountains".

The whole painting looks immersive, people seem to be traveling in the painting!
Li Changqing washed the pen dipped in ink in the inkstone washing pool, and the black ink spread in the water.

The water in the pool is full of thick black waves, and the plum blossoms near the stones are like ink paintings.

The tree beside the inkstone washing pond in my house is blossoming with light ink marks.

The pool water turns black, and the white plums turn black!

Mission accomplished!

Li Changqing's calligraphy and painting have reached a very high level.

"Congratulations, Brother Li!", Yan Hui came out from the bamboo forest and said to Li Changqing.

"Brother Yan is here to present new rewards?" Li Changqing said.

"Of course it is!" Yan Hui said.

"Brother Yan, please advise!" Li Changqing said.

"The six Confucian arts of ritual, music, imperialism, number, calligraphy, and archery, Brother Li is already proficient in number, music, and calligraphy."

"Complete the task of washing the inkstone pool, and you can start a new study!"

Yan Hui witnessed Li Changqing's growth and progress, and expressed his satisfaction.

"Is it a kind of etiquette, imperialism, and shooting?" Li Changqing said.

"If a gentleman doesn't fight, he will shoot. He bows up and goes up, and he goes down to drink. If he fights, he will be a gentleman." Yan Hui said.

"Shooting is not only a kind of physical activity, but also a method of self-cultivation and cultivation of a gentleman's demeanor."

Yan Hui quoted Kong Sheng's exposition on shooting in "The Analects of Confucius", Li Changqing understood the reason and nodded.

"Brother Li, please come with me, the reward is more exciting than you imagined!" Yan Hui said mysteriously.

"En!", Li Changqing followed Yan Hui out a door.

Chongwen is written on the left side of the door, and Shangwu is written on the right side.

"Brother Li, this is Wenwu Hall!" Yan Hui said.

"Seeing that there are shooting ranges, bows and arrows, why is there a sword room?"

Seeing the rows of shining swords on the wooden shelf, Li Changqing was puzzled.

"Haha, the arrow method is taught by Confucius himself, but the zither, sword, book, and box are also standard equipment for Confucian disciples!"

As Yan Hui said, he picked up a strong bow, grabbed an arrow feather and drew the bow to the string.

The arrows fell like meteors, and nine shots in a row were nailed to the red heart of the target a hundred steps away.

Then go to the wall of the sword room, take down a sword and dance.

As light as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

"Good, good, good!", Li Changqing praised repeatedly in surprise.

"It's just a trivial trick. Confucianists such as Li Taibai, Xin Qiji, Wang Yangming, etc. have a lot of experience in this!"

"Each sword corresponds to the insights of Confucian sages. If you are interested, you can learn it by yourself in the future!"

"However, sword dancing and archery are just ways to keep fit, so don't indulge in them!"

After Yan Hui finished the demonstration, he worried that Li Changqing would go astray and warned.

"Thank you, Brother Yan, for the reminder!" Li Changqing said.

After the two exchanged a few words, Yan Hui left on his own.

Li Changqing practiced drawing the bow on the shooting range, and his body and perseverance were well exercised.

After persisting to the limit, Li Changqing wandered around the sword room.

On the pillar to the west of the sword room, there is a poem written.

"Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu hooks are bright with frost and snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like shooting stars."

"Kill one person in ten steps, and leave nowhere for a thousand miles. Go away and hide your name and name."

From two sentences in Li Bai's "Xia Ke Xing", a sword is hung on the pillar, and the word "Qinglian" is engraved on the sword.

Too much to chew, Li Changqing has no idea of ​​practicing for the time being.

Withdrew from all schools of thought, Li Changqing felt sore all over his body, and his bones seemed to be falling apart.

After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, the whole person is much more relaxed, ready to read a book for a while.

Among the six classics, Li Changqing has read "Book of Music", "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Li" and "Spring and Autumn", and only the last one is "Book of Changes".

"Book of Changes", also known as "Book of Changes", is divided into the Jing Department and the Biography Department.

"Jingbu" mainly includes 64 hexagrams and 380 four lines, which reveal the typical meaning of 450 hexagrams and Yi hexagrams and judge the corresponding good and bad.

"Biography" includes "Wen Yan", "Zhuan Zhuan", "Xiang Zhuan", "Xi Ci Zhuan", "Shuo Gua Zhuan", "Xu Gua Zhuan", "Miscellaneous Gua Zhuan", a total of seven kinds of ten Chapter, called "Ten Wings", is the commentary on the scriptures of "Book of Changes" by the disciples of Confucianism and the exposition of the principles and functions of divination.

However, the content of the annotations of the "Book of Changes" produced by various schools of thought is far from comparable to that circulated in the market. One book is as thick as three "Ci Hai", and the content is extremely complicated and difficult to understand.

Li Changqing did not directly read the original text of the "Book of Changes", but first read the explanations of the "Book of Changes" by the sages of the past to achieve a preliminary understanding.

The sky is reddened by the sunset glow, and the mountains in the distance are dyed a layer of golden yellow.

The media reporters who failed to find Li Changqing on Zhong Nanshan all went down the mountain one after another, and drove back to their residence in Guyang County.

At the foot of the mountain between the second peak and the third peak, Mary, David, and Allen of the Global Times were close together.

In the bushes in front of them, there was a pair of green eyes staring at them coldly, it was a gray wolf.

"Damn it, why are there wolves on this mountain?" Allen said in horror, holding the camera.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a lone wolf who left the team!" David said calmly.

"But there may be other wolves nearby, let's go!" Mary said with a trembling voice.

"Well, be careful!" David said.

The three of them moved back to back and slowly.

But the gray wolf followed not far away, slowly consuming the physical strength of the prey.

When they climbed to the outermost mountain peak, the sky darkened, and the three of them were basically exhausted.

"David, I can't walk anymore!" Mary's legs seemed to be filled with lead.

"We can't stop. Once we stop, the wolves will think we have lost and attack immediately!"

David's knowledge of wild survival is relatively rich, he analyzed.

"Wait, it sounds like someone's voice!"

Allen vaguely heard, and said uncertainly.

"Over there, is Li Changqing's reading!"

Mary's Chinese is very good, and she has a profound influence on Li Changqing's reading voice.

"Mary, are you sure?" David asked.

"In the name of God yes, let's go!"

Mary seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, and suddenly came excitedly.

Ellen supported Mary, and David held a branch on guard.

The gray wolf kept a distance of about three meters, staring at Mary, Ellen, and David cautiously.

"Mary, it seems that you are right, there are really people reading in the mountains!"

After walking for a while, David also heard the sound of reading.

"Look, over there, there is a fire!" Allen said excitedly.
