Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

"Zai, bearing also, just this one word, it can express the wonderful function of the article."

If it is said that Wang Anshi suppressed nearly a thousand students in a reasonable way.

Then Ouyang Xiu is completely teaching as an elder.

Of course.

He mentioned Qi Heng at the end, which really made Qi Heng baffled.

The words "Wen Yi Zai Dao"... are exactly what Zhou Dunyi, the great Confucian of the dynasty, said. He did borrow this sentence in Caiwei Xiaozhu a long time ago.

Could it be that Zhou Dunyi hasn't had time to say it yet?

However, it doesn't matter.

At least not right now.

Soon some students retorted: "According to what you said, don't distinguish between Xikun style, Taixue style, and ancient style."

"It's just a narrative tool anyway."

"Wouldn't it be easier to use the vernacular?"

Ouyang Xiu twisted his beard and smiled.

"You are right in saying that."

"The vernacular and the ancient text have the same origin, but the vernacular is suitable for daily life, while the ancient prose is more concise and can better reflect the beauty of the text."

"How about this--"

"I won't explain the big truth to you. I believe that you can understand what Jiefu said. I may not be able to explain it better than Jiefu."

"Let's actually give an example."

Having said this, he paused.

Then he looked around, not knowing what he was looking at, what he was looking for.

But the next moment.

He suddenly pointed to a horse led by soldiers in the distance.

"Look there."

"There was a dog lying in a pool of blood."

"It seems that people like Dianqiansi came in a hurry, and a certain general on horseback accidentally trampled this dog to death."

"We don't care about any reason."

"On this matter."

"How do you think it should be expressed in articles?"

Liu Jinglun was stunned and turned his head quickly.

But everyone on the long street also turned their attention to the dog in the pool of blood.

Everyone frowned in thought.

Ouyang Xiu waited.

He looked directly at Liu Ji.

"You are Luoyang Liu Ji?"

"I heard that you are well-received in the Tai Academy, and everyone says you have the talent of the number one scholar."

"It starts with you, you talk first."

Liu Ji did his part.

He pondered for a while, and then said: "Chiliu Yi, crossing the long street, lying down and killing dogs."

Standard Taixue style.

Ouyang Xiu didn't comment, but asked again.

"Is there anyone else to do it?"

soon.

Then some students came by the way.

"There are dogs lying on the long street, there are horses galloping, and they are killed with hooves."

Ouyang Xiu nodded casually.

"That's right. Although it's not as succinct as Liu Ji's, it's at least complete."

"Any more?"

Liu Ji was thoughtful.

Another student said: "There is a horse that escapes on the long street, and a lying dog is killed by it."

This is the expression method that Xikunti has always been used to.

Ouyang Xiu still nodded.

"More concise."

"The expression is also complete enough."

"Any more?"

to here.

Everyone naturally understood what he meant.

It is a complete expression of this matter in the most concise words.

It's just that the expressions of Liu Ji and the others were so concise that they couldn't be more concise. After a while, no one really could say anything more.

Ouyang Xiu waited a little longer.

Seeing that no one spoke, he pointed to Su Shi.

"Zizhan, come here."

Su Shi did not hesitate.

He looked back at Liu Ji's group of students.

"Six words are enough."

"Yima kills dogs in Taoism."

For an instant.

Long Street was silent.

This is indeed a complete description of this matter in the most concise and concise language.

And the most important thing is that these six characters, whether it is Bi Liuji's Taixue style or the later Xikun style, must be fluent and beautiful.

……

"I won't say more."

"Why did I dismiss Xikun Ti and Taixue Ti?"

"And why respect the ancient style?"

"You can understand too."

"I hope you can think about it too."

"We study for scientific examinations and to be officials, but what is the purpose of being an official?"

"Isn't it just to carry forward the ideas of the sages and educate the people?"

"But if our own articles and words are not ideal, then how can we promote the inheritance of Confucianism and educate the people?"

Ouyang Xiu finally concluded.

Nearly a thousand students from Taiyuan Academy were all silent.

They had to admit that no matter how much they hated Ouyang Xiu, what he said were the most obvious facts.

He also told them with practical examples.

Compared with the ancient style, Xikun style and Taixue style are really unnecessary.

First came Wang Anshi's impassioned statement.

Then there is Ouyang Xiu's earnest teaching.

In this massive farce, nearly a thousand students were completely defeated.

Liu Ji laughed miserably.

"' 〃 Even so..."

"Even if you, Mr. Ouyang, want to set things right and rectify the name of the ancient style."

"But you are ruthless and ruthless in the major matters of the scientific examination, how do you know that you will not overcorrect?"

"How unfair to us people...?"

His words quickly resonated with all the students of Taiyuan Academy.

to be honest.

They don't need to care about Taixue style and Xikun style, but they must care about scientific examinations and Jinshi background.

It's the only thing they care about.

Ouyang Xiu was abnormally silent for a moment.

Then he looked at Qi Heng inexplicably.

"I'm not going to lie to you."

"Before I made this decision, I mentioned this matter to Qi Yuanruo."

"He also advised me not to use the knife on you in the scientific research."
