Chapter 1282 The old man who raised ducks
As he said that, he led a few people to the left side of the courtyard of the old house: "This used to be a place where the cultural protection unit stored debris. Later, I heard that it was going to be sold, so I put this place away. "It was freed up."
"No wonder it's much better preserved here than there." Zhou Zhi nodded.
This was originally the "village" of the British Crown Prince on the outskirts of the city. By the Qing Dynasty, it no longer had one pavilion, one pavilion, and one terrace. It was surrounded by a fence and became the "tertiary property" of Haichao Temple. , it was repeatedly renovated over hundreds of years, and finally formed the layout of the old Beijing courtyard.
However, this courtyard is a little different from others. The main room is like a pavilion, and there is an octagonal room on the right side. If you look carefully, half of the courtyard in front of the main room is two steps higher than the other half.
These are estimated to be the largest remaining relics from that time.
Two stone tablets lay quietly at one foot of the patio, with dents appearing on the tops.
Uncle Ge said: "The people at the Cultural Preservation Office said that these two monuments were of little value, so they did not take them away. In fact, when they were erected here, they were sharpening knives for everyone. This depression is where the knives were sharpened. "It's ground out."
Zhou Zhi has seen too many things like this, even Jiachuan is not exempt from it, let alone the capital city with so many monuments.
Wait to look at the two stone tablets, one of which is engraved: "The distant water has not turned white, and the long strips have returned to a new yellow. Scaled fish come out of the bank, and birds fly in the forest. After the cold, the body is still brown, and in spring There is a lot of wine in the general field. It’s as busy as yesterday, and it’s a good year again.”
Another piece is engraved with: "The Drum Tower is connected to Houhu Bay in the west, and the Silver Ingot Bridge crosses the sunset. The waves are not connected to the Taiye, but the clear green is still sent to the distant mountains. In the old courtyard, there are pines and locust trees, and the fairyland plays the music in leisurely years. Baishou Lian Teachers have been chatting for a long time over tea, the spring breeze is chilling and the evening is coming "The crow returns."
Looking at the inscription, the first stone tablet is engraved with "In the 23rd year of Daoguang's reign, Guimao Mengqiu was awarded Jinshi and Luo Wenjing, the censor of the Xicheng Duchayuan, for the record. Ren Huang Zhengse's "Spring Day Crossing Yinding Bridge" "Poetry."
The second block is engraved with "In the 23rd year of Daoguang's reign, Guimao Mengqiu was awarded Jinshi and Luo Wenjing, the imperial censor of the Xicheng Duchayuan, and was honored as a young master in the Xibei Song Dynasty. Weng's poem "Crossing the Yinding Bridge on a Spring Day". br>
Zhou Zhi pointed at Luo Wenjing and said: "This guy is a flatterer."
"What do you mean by a good brother?" At this time, Mr. Qiao couldn't help but pick it up. Old habit, I started dropping articles.
"This is a poem he copied from someone else's poem about Yinding Bridge. I don't know who the Ming Dynasty man Huang Zhengse is in the front, but the Song Xibei in the back is a famous literati in the Kangxi Dynasty, the six sons of Hou Xueyuan, and one of the ten most talented men in Kangxi. 1. He was praised by Emperor Kangxi as 'Incorruptible and Honest' Song Luo is the best governor in the world."
"Xiandi Bowenqiang remembers such a person, and I admire him."
"Actually, I don't remember him because of him. Political achievements and literary talent." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Because. There is a picture of "Teaching Inkstones in the West" by the Qing Dynasty painter Yu Zhiding. In order to understand the characters in the painting, I went to check this person's life. "
"Yu Zhiding was one of the top ten famous figures in the Qing Dynasty. One, the inner court enshrinement during the Kangxi period, to describe the characters in detail He was famous for his small portraits, and it was said at that time that 'all the celebrities and ministers of the moment were painted by his hand.'"
"As a close comrade of Emperor Kangxi, Song Nao, Yu Zhiding painted several small portraits for him, such as "Professor of Xipi". "Inkstone" is one of them. ”
"Is there any allusion to the teaching of inkstone pictures?"
"Yes, when Song Ruo's son Song Zhu was seriously ill, his wife was still pregnant with the child. Song Zhu told his father that if the child was a son , then wait until he is twenty years old and give his inkstone to He."
"Sure enough, he got a son, so Song Nao followed his son's last wish and gave Song's inkstone to his grandson when he turned twenty, and told him to make good use of it. It also means that the elders encourage their children and grandchildren to study and become talented. That painting is about Such a story."
It was quite interesting to dig up the allusions, and everyone listened with great interest. Wei Yi asked: "Then why do you say that this Luo Wenjing is a flatterer? He is from the Daoguang Dynasty, Song Nao? It's from the Kangxi Dynasty, so I can't take a picture of it." Zhou Zhi. Pointing to the two stone tablets: "You can see from the names he addressed the poet Huang Zhengse of the Ming Dynasty and the poet Song Nao of this dynasty. He had no respect for Huang Zhengse, but he was extremely respectful to Song Nao. This is not a flattery. What is it?”
Sister Feng said with a smile: "I have gained a lot of experience by following you. If I were to look at it myself, I thought this Young Master Xipi Song Yaweng was a village primary school teacher and an old man who raises ducks part-time!"
< br> Zhou Zhi laughed so hard: "Young Master is a very high official position. One of the three orphans in ancient times. Although it was an empty title in the Qing Dynasty, it was still a rank. The old man of Xibei and the duck duck in Xibei Weng was Song Nao's self-title in his later years. He was also a painter and connoisseur, and his two self-title seals can often be seen on some handed down calligraphy and paintings."
Sister Feng sighed quietly: "I probably know how I can afford this yard..."
"How do you say it?" Wei Yi asked with a smile, holding his classmate's arm.
"Just talking about this young master's calligraphy and painting, I can't recognize it when it is placed in front of me! Isn't that what he deserves to be rich?!"
"Hehehe, that's true." Wei Yi agreed, and then glared at Wu Qiaomu: "Teacher Yuan said you don't have enough eyesight to touch these things blindly. The water in that line is very deep, so you just write down and write down to cultivate your sentiments. Just don’t go!”
“I didn’t plan to go either. "Wu Qiaomu is very honest: "My dad said that elbow is a character that means wealth. It means that it is easy to pick up money when walking and win lottery tickets. We can't compare with him."
" Qiaomu. Does your dad still understand this? When will you tell me?" Sister Feng suddenly became interested.
"He also listened to what Jiuzi's fourth cousin said."
"In fact, they don't know how to criticize people," Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "The elders all study Confucian classics , they believe that the "Book of Changes" and astrology are not used to predict personal fortunes. If they are, they refer to people involved in national fortunes. If they are used to infer the blame of ordinary individuals, it is a failure. "
"Zhouyi has had Xiangshu and Yili since ancient times. Although they are related to each other, under the general Xiangshu there are three sects: divination, disaster and prophecy, and prophecy. The Yili sect is Lao-Zhuang, Confucianism, and Shishi."
"My fourth cousin and my godfather are obviously leaning towards the righteousness school, and they stay away from Xiangshu."
"But your fourth cousin will give it to you. ." Sister Feng said.
"That's when I used my eight characters as a teaching material to explain to us some gameplay of Xiangshu Yishu." Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly: "He doesn't talk about these things."
"Including the godfather who talks about astrology Yes, I will only tell us about the common knowledge of ancient Chinese astronomy. As for the astronomical phenomena that are often mentioned in ancient books, such as 'comet entering the Ziwei Yuan', 'year star violating the emperor's constellation', and 'Yinghuo guarding the palace', they are really regarded as astronomical phenomena. Just watch.”
"Yes, there are no mystical problems in the eyes of wise men. At most, there are only 'problems that cannot be solved with current knowledge.' They would rather regard mystery as a part of philosophy to explore and study, but will not use it as a carrier of worship. ." Wu Qiaomu said.
"Just don't be superstitious and treat the unknown with a puzzle-solving mentality." Zhou Zhi said.
"I know why you two are brothers." Sister Feng felt funny.
