Chapter 841: The Theory of the Book of Songs
Hey, wait a minute.
When Zhu Pingan was recalling history, his eyes inadvertently glanced at King Yu's back, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and an inexplicable thought flashed through his mind, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night, In an instant, darkness returned again.
I feel like I have seen King Yu somewhere? !
This inexplicable thought made Zhu Pingan frown and think.
Logically speaking, this should be the first time he has met Prince Yu. After all, he has only been in the capital for half a year, and the only places he has been to are the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Punishment, Shuntian Mansion, and Xiyuan. The two princes came to the capital a few years ago. He just opened a mansion and did not live in Xiyuan. He had no chance to meet King Yu and King Jing in these places.
But why do I always feel like I have seen King Yu somewhere?
Is it because I have seen the portrait of King Yu in modern times?
Zhu Pingan thought for a moment and decisively rejected this speculation.
In modern times, there are only two portraits of King Yu on Baidu Encyclopedia, but they are both "Portraits of Zhu Zai, Emperor Mu Zong of the Ming Dynasty" left by the painter after King Yu became emperor.
You also know that the level of portraits of ancient painters was average, especially those for emperors, which were even more distorted.
The two portraits of King Yu on Baidu Encyclopedia are contradictory. It seems that they are not the same person. Moreover, the two portraits depict King Yu who is about thirty years old. There is basically not much similarity between King Yu himself, and the most similar one only has a more than ten percent resemblance.
So, Zhu Ping'an was definitely not thinking that he had seen King Yu somewhere because he had seen a portrait of King Yu in modern times.
It feels like the same one I have seen in the past few days? !
How strange.
But why can't I remember it?
Zhu Ping'an was walking and thinking, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the lecture hall of the main hall. After arriving at the lecture place, Zhu Ping'an stopped being persistent. Forget it, since he couldn't remember it, then forget about it. There are so many similar people in the world. Maybe in recent days, he and someone like him have met each other. Maybe there was a chance encounter with a passerby who looked similar to King Yu.
There are only ten tables, chairs and a podium in the lecture hall. Apart from this, there is nothing else. It can almost be called simple, which is in sharp contrast to the splendor of the main hall.
The only advantage is that the windows are bright and clean.
It may be that Emperor Jiajing deliberately used the simple environment to remind his princes not to be pampered and forget the purpose of coming to the main hall.
Emperor Jiajing's oral edict was to lecture on the Classics, so the theme of today's lecture is undoubtedly the Five Classics.
Liu Boqing Mr. Liu is a leading figure in the literary circle. Today's lecture is hosted by Mr. Liu.
"The Four Books and the Five Classics, the Four Books come first and the Five Classics follow, but the name of the Four Books began in the Song Dynasty, and the name of the Five Classics was earlier than the Four Books, and its name began in the Han Dynasty. The Five Classics refers to "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", The five books "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn" are all composed of Edited by Confucius Sheng, there was originally the "Book of Music", but unfortunately the Emperor of Qin "burned books to entrap Confucian scholars" and the "Book of Music" was lost after the fire of Qin. Of course, these are all clichés. Okay, I won’t say any more, let’s start preaching. Five. In terms of classics, Dr. Yang is a master. Even when I encounter problems in the Five Classics, Dr. Yang's theories often make me enlightened. I heard that Dr. Yang happened to be studying the "Book of Songs" recently, and we can just enjoy it. .”
With modern masters Like the old professors who held the lecture, Mr. Liu first traced the origins of the Four Books and the Five Classics, and then lamented the regrets of the "Book of Music". Then he transitioned to the main topic and invited Yang Guoliang, a doctor of the Five Classics from the Imperial College, to share his recent study of the "Book of Songs" experience.
"Mr. Liu has given me the award, and Liang is really unworthy of it." Yang Guoliang stood up and shook his head humbly, but the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Mr. Liu, the leading figure in the literary circle, praised himself so much that Yang Guoliang felt as sweet as honey.
Everyone gets drunk without being drunk.
The whole person felt a little elated.
Hmph, what we rely on is our true strength, unlike some people who rely on flattery and opportunism to come here and pretend to be a fool.
The airy Yang Guoliang glanced at Zhu Ping'an sitting in the corner with the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but raise his chin slightly.
Uh...
Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden? And if you raise your head so high, aren't you afraid of flashing your neck? Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.
This is what the ancients did. After Yang Guoliang was self-effacing, Mr. Liu persuaded him again, and Yang Guoliang walked up to the podium with a look of hospitality that was hard to refuse, and bowed his hands to everyone, " Mr. Liu’s kindness is hard to resist, so Yang has no choice but to show his shame.”
“My life has a limit, but I know there is no limit. It’s too late!” "Sutra" for several months, I feel more and more deeply about Confucius Sheng's words. "Guan Guan Ju Jiu, in the river island. A gentle lady, a gentleman..." "Guofeng Zhou Nan Guan Ju" must be the opening chapter of the Book of Songs. Everyone I have been familiar with it for a long time. But this short piece of "Guan Ju" alone has kept Yang Mou in awe for more than a month."
Yang Guoliang coughed lightly and began to sigh.
"What is "Guan Ju" about? It describes a gentleman's pursuit of a lady. When he doesn't find a lady, he feels distressed, tossing and turning, and can't sleep; when he finds a lady, he becomes very happy and makes people play the harp and sheng. Congratulations, in this way "friends" ""Happy" lady. This is a poem that expresses emotion and ends with etiquette, and has a very simple meaning to celebrate marriage."
Yang Guoliang opened the first page of "The Book of Songs" and pointed to "Guan Ju" This opening chapter speaks to everyone.
How naive, this Guan Jujiu is the culprit that made me have unreasonable thoughts about girls when I was a child... Zhu Pingan lowered his head and slandered, no matter how you read it, it is a folk love song Poetry is okay.
However, it is also possible to understand this "Guan Ju" as a poem in praise of marriage that starts with love but ends with etiquette.
Be happy but not obscene, sad but not sad, this is what Confucius commented.
It is quite suitable to sing this song "Guan Ju" at a wedding. Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
“The Book of Changes is the foundation of the universe, the Book of Books is beautiful, and the Poems begins with Guanyong. I have been thinking about why Confucius singled out the short poem "Guanyong" as "Guanyong". What is the opening chapter of "The Book of Songs"? "What is the purpose of Kong Sheng?"
Yang Guoliang said, scanning the crowd and raising a question.
Why did Kong Sheng choose "Guan Ju", a romantic poem about male and female love, as the opening chapter of "The Book of Songs"?
King Yu fell into deep thought, frowned and started thinking. He felt that he had caught something. He was about to ask everyone for advice when he heard King Jing's voice.
"The marriage between husband and wife is the great ethics of humanity. The marriage is the beginning of life for the people and the source of all blessings. The etiquette of marriage is correct, and then the goods and things are fulfilled, and the destiny is fulfilled. This is the first of the rules and regulations, and the end of the king's teaching. "Guan Ju" , the beginning of "Wind", so Feng Tian They are the right couple. Therefore, the people of the country are the same as the country."
King Jing stood up and said loudly, his voice was deep and strong, full of magnetism, his words were clear and logical, and he was from a high position. People think deeply.
What King Jing means is that the marriage of a couple is the beginning of human relations, and the morality of the world is based on the virtues of husband and wife. Taking Guan Ju as the first chapter of "The Book of Songs" can be used Influence the world, educate the people, and consolidate the country's rule.
Hearing this, King Yu’s expression darkened.
How to be bright when there is beauty.
My fourth brother has already said what I thought, and what I didn’t expect, my fourth brother has also said. The fourth brother is indeed much better than me...(End of Chapter)
