Saint of the Confucian way

The news of Zhang Longxiang's poetry swept the Shengyuan continent like a gust of wind.

Since only scholars with a higher position can enter the discussion list, the rest can only wait for the announcement of those candidates in the prosperous area.

There are several foreign jurors in the middle of Wen you. Because they didn't go to see the discussion list, they heard someone shouting. They immediately took out their official seals. All the people nearby closed their mouths and looked at these jurors quietly.

After a few breaths, a man opened his eyes, nodded and said, "Zhang Longxiang has indeed made a poem called" viewing Dongting Lake and giving it to Qing Jun. "

The shopkeeper of the restaurant immediately shouted, "come on! Put on the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

The waiter on one side immediately picked up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and rushed to the lifting man.

The man nodded, picked up his pen and wrote, while writing and reciting.

In August, the lake level is low, and the water is too clear.

Steaming clouds and dreams, waves shake Yueyang City.

If you want to help others, you will live in shame and holiness.

Sitting and watching the anglers, they only envy the fish.

After reciting the first and chin couplets, the people nodded one after another, but many people were surprised when they listened to the complete poem.

"Poetry is a good poem, but... It shouldn't be..." Zhang Zongshi muttered to himself with many scholars.

"Is there anything special about this poem? Can Mr. Wang explain it?" a young scholar asked the old scholar beside him.

The old scholar smiled: "I'm not talented. I don't mention the last neck and tail couplets. I only talk about the first and chin couplets. Although the first sentence" August lake level "is straightforward, it accurately describes the characteristics of Dongting Lake in August, that is, the water of Dongting Lake has risen to the same level as the shore. Once the word" level "comes out, people seem to feel that the water of Dongting Lake is almost overflowing. The words are skillful and real It's rare. Fang Xusheng once wrote a song "the moon rises on the sea, and the ends of the world share the same time", in which "life" rather than "rise" shocked the world. It was precisely at the Mid Autumn Festival cultural conference. Of course, the word "Ping" was slightly inferior to the word "life."

The nearby scholars nodded gently. Unexpectedly, the old scholar had such extraordinary knowledge and listened quietly. Even those scholars put down their official seals.

"In the second sentence," Hanxu "refers to the scene in which the water surface reflects the sky, while Taiqing refers to the sky. The water reflects the sky, which is mixed with the sky. The previous sentence describes the shape of Dongting Lake. The words used to describe the appearance of Dongting Lake are accurate. This can not help but remind people of the scene taken by Zhang Mingzhou's poem" in the daytime, the Yellow River flows into the sea ", They are all picturesque. "

"Yes, sir." the young scholar nodded again and again.

"Yunmengze is the nickname of Dongting Lake, and Yueyang is also the nickname of Baling city. The water vapor on Dongting Lake is steaming, and when the wind blows, the waves roll. The wind and waves are so big that it seems to shake baling city. Do you know the beauty of the sentence 'wave shakes Yueyang City'?"

"Student... I don't know." the boy's face was slightly red.

"In the first two sentences, the lake is full, and the lake is mixed with the sky. One is that there is more water, the other is that the water surface is broad, but anyway, it is just a great lake. Now it seems that the waves of Dongting Lake can shake baling City, which echoes with the front and makes Dongting Lake have the potential of the sea. It is said that Zhang Mingzhou is very human and has to admire his talent when he sees this poem with his own eyes."

"Why don't you say the last four sentences, sir?"

The old scholar smiled and said, "I'm too old to understand the last four sentences. After that, the old scholar stopped talking.

Many scholars understand what the old scholar said, but some people think carefully and vaguely understand something.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is an expert. When he saw the old scholar, he didn't talk about the last four sentences. He knew there were taboos, so he smiled and said, "come on, give the old gentleman a twelve year old baling cellar! Who can continue to interpret the first four sentences? If it is recognized, our store will also give a pot of twelve year old baling cellar!"

Many happy wine readers have bright eyes. Baling old cellar is one of the three famous wines in Xiangzhou. More than ten years are very expensive. I didn't expect to give twelve years here.

I saw a middle-aged boy who was addicted to alcohol and said: "No, I think more about the whole poem. As you know, although the wind and waves of Dongting Lake are strong in autumn, it is too exaggerated to say 'waves shake Yueyang City'. Then, why does Zhang Longxiang write like this? In my opinion, there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Zhang Longxiang has great pride in his heart and thinks that he will attack baling city with the potential of heaven and earth and win the position of the top four talents Fang Yun! As for the second possibility, it's just that Zhang Longxiang's thoughts fluctuate and his talent fluctuates. He wants to show his strength and echo with the winds and waves of Dongting Lake, so as to form a "wave shaking Yueyang City."

"That's right!" many readers nodded gently. If it took time, everyone present could make this interpretation, but this poem can be interpreted so quickly as soon as it appeared, which shows that this person is quite talented.

"OK, give this guest a pot of Baling old cellar of twelve years!"

Therefore, people began to discuss the first four sentences of the poem. They all felt that the words "Ping", "Hun", "steaming" and "shake" were used very accurately. It was clearly a text, but it moved the Dongting Lake. It was really a rare good poem, at least a poem of Dafu, and maybe even Mingzhou.

However, many people keep talking about these four sentences and avoid the latter four sentences.

After a long discussion, a scholar smiled and said, "brother Zongshi, I don't think everyone will mention the last four sentences. You have to stand up and tell the truth."

Many scholars looked at Zhang Zongshi with a smile. Only he was most suitable for this dirty job.

Zhang Zongshi had long known that someone would say so, but smiled and said: "The last four sentences are nothing to me. It's nothing more than that Zhang Longxiang feels a little ashamed to live idle when the emperor is holy and bright. He wants to cross the Dongting Lake, but he doesn't have a boat or paddle. He sits idle on the shore and looks at the fishermen. He has envy but no fish. The last four sentences are simple and easy to understand. There's no truth or falsehood."

"Zong Shi, you have changed and are dishonest!"

"Yes, brother Zhang, it's not good, very bad!"

"As the owner of the virtual Holy Blood Poetry Wall, if you don't do it, who will do it? Go ahead, I'm a Ju Ren, with an official seal, and I can post your words on the discussion list." a Ju Ren smiled.

Everyone asked Zhang Zongshi to tell the truth. Zhang Zongshi refused, but had to speak.

"In that case, I can't afford to be infamous. Even if Zhang Mingzhou is a meritorious hero of the two mountains, he has to be commented! The first four sentences of this poem are good poems, but the last four sentences can only be said to be fake poems! In a word, the last four sentences are about seeking an official. In the next four sentences, Zhang Longxiang wants to leave the literary world and compare breaking through the gap between the two worlds to crossing the Dongting Lake, but he is looking for an official again He didn't find a suitable place to settle down. After all, Shengyuan mainland was not familiar with him. So he said that Qingjun was a holy and wise monarch without conscience, and he felt ashamed in front of him. He didn't envy those fishermen, but the officials who were valued by Qingjun, and wanted to hold an important post in Qingguo! The phrase "wave shake Yueyang City" actually implied that he could be a pioneer in Qingguo Attack Fang Yun and Jingguo! "
