Daming Super Daddy

Compared with this guy in front of him, those so-called tall, rich and handsome people in later generations are simply weak!

"I have Wang Yuwen, Guo Xueru, Zhang Yu, Huang Linger, Song Zixuan... I have met Your Highness!"

The five talented men and beauties bowed to Zhu Song as a scholar, and the attitude of one or two was somewhat arrogant, but thinking about it, it was true that at a young age, they dared to compete in six arts with Zhu Song, who had been in a mess for the past two days. Dare to compare.

"Several of you are free!" Zhu Song waved his hands to the five people and said, "Yanhua, are you sure it's these people?"

"Yes!" Yanhua nodded and said: "Six arts of a gentleman, which one to compare first, your Highness, let's decide!"

The six arts of a gentleman refer to ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics, among which ritual, music, calligraphy, and arithmetic are literature, and archery is martial arts.

"You wait for a while!" Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "The six arts of a gentleman are a total of six items. How do we judge whether we win or lose? Is it possible that we only rely on our opinions?"

"Your Highness, please rest assured that for today's comparison of the six arts, the official has specially invited all the officials above the rank of attendant from the Imperial Academy."

As soon as Zhu Song finished speaking, Fang Xiaoru stood up and said.

After all, Fang Xiaoru is a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and he is in charge of the entire Imperial Academy, but he still has the face of inviting a few colleagues to come out as judges.

"Your Majesty has met His Highness the King of Han!" A dozen or so people in official robes stood up.

"Today, I'm going to trouble you adults!" Zhu Song politely saluted several officials of the Imperial Academy, and said, "Then, let's start!"

"Okay, since this matter has been decided, let everyone in this garden be a witness. If the six arts of a gentleman win the four arts, he will be the winner! Do you have any objections?"

Among the crowd, Fang Xiaoru had the highest status and reputation, so Fang Xiaoru stood up and asked everyone.

"No objection!"

Zhu Song, Yan Hua and others shook their heads at the same time.

Fang Xiaoru discussed with the adults of the Hanlin Academy for a while, and said slowly:

"There is a cloud in "Zhou Li Baoshi": 'To raise the sons of the country to teach the way is to teach the six arts: one is called five rituals, the other is called six music, the third is called five shooting, the fourth is called five control, the fifth is called six books, and the sixth is called six arts. Nine numbers.’ Fortunately, let’s follow the order of ‘combine the five classics and practice the six arts’!”

"The first competition is etiquette!" Fang Xiaoru said.

Damn, etiquette!

As soon as Fang Xiaoru finished speaking, Zhu Song was in pain and unable to speak.

Although the six arts are the six arts, they can also be divided into minor arts and major arts. The major arts refer to rites, music, archery, and royal arts, while the minor arts refer to calligraphy and mathematics.

If you talk about music, archery, imperial control, and counting, it's okay to talk about it, but it's really difficult for Zhu Song to die with etiquette and calligraphy.

The so-called etiquette refers to etiquette, which is similar to the moral education of later generations. It is divided into five rituals: lucky, bad, guest, military, and good.

Zhu Song never went to school in his previous life. If you want to talk to him about the professional ethics of bodyguards, he can't beat him to death.

Let’s talk about the book, the book actually refers to calligraphy, such as: writing, literacy, composition and so on. If it is subdivided, it is divided into six books: pictographic, referring to things, knowing, pictophonic, Zhuanzhu, and borrowing.

Zhu Song is also able to recognize traditional Chinese characters, if asked to write?? Our men should not be ashamed!

"No, I have to find a way to avoid these two arts!" Zhu Song's mind began to run at high speed, but on the surface he remained calm.

"Your Highness, do you have any objections to the comparison of etiquette with the first art?" Fang Xiaoru couldn't help asking when Zhu Song remained silent for a long time.

"what?"

Zhu Song pretended to wake up, and said: "This king was thinking just now, since you dare to come here and compete with this king in six arts, you must already know the "Story of the Stone" that this king made the day before yesterday!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Song deliberately put on a condescending look, saying:

"Well, I won't take advantage of you. Among the six arts, I will give up the 'ritual art' and 'calligraphy' automatically. In this way, you will win two rounds first. If you can win in the other four arts If you beat this king with any two skills, even if you win, what do you think?"

"Your Highness looks down on us?" Zhu Song's words ignited the anger of the other five people except Yan Hua.

"I didn't look down on you, but I don't want to take advantage of you!" Zhu Song curled his lips and said, "Lord Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Xiaoru is eager for Zhu Song to lose, and now this arrogant and arrogant Han Wang, the two arts will automatically admit defeat, why don't you hurry up and settle down?

"Your Highness is righteous, you are willing to give up the competition between the two arts!" Fang Xiaoru smiled happily: "In that case, let's start the competition from the 'Le Yi' later!"

Chapter 53 Isn't this Kunqu opera?

The first than 'Le Yi'!

The so-called "music art" refers to music, which includes six kinds of music, namely: Yunmen, Daxian, Dashao, Daxia, Dalui, Dawu and other ancient music.

It is said to be six music, but in the current Ming Dynasty, these are rarely used. After all, those ancient music are not even accessible to ordinary people, so even if it is a competition, it is just a simple competition of music and music.

"Then... who of us will come first?" Zhu Song looked up at the six people in front of him, and said, "Forget it, the competition of the six arts was proposed by you anyway, so you can start first!"

"Since Your Highness is so kind, I will be disrespectful!"

The leader, Wang Yuwen, nodded proudly, and said: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness's song "Buying Flowers" and "Wang Ning Mei" are enough to shock the world! However, I think that the music in the world is nothing more than love and love. Therefore, the six of us discussed, and Ms. Huang Linger will present "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" to His Royal Highness!"

"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is one of the four ancient Chinese folk love stories. Since the Western Jin Dynasty, it has been circulated among the people for more than 700 years.

Zhu Song was not surprised that Yanhua and others chose "The Butterfly Lovers", on the contrary, he looked very interesting.

After all, he has been in Daming for so long, and Zhu Song has never seen anyone perform "The Butterfly Lovers", or "Meng Jiangnu" and "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" in any form of music or art.

Given such a good opportunity today, how could Zhu Song let it go?

Huang Ling'er stood up and said to Zhu Song: "Your Highness, this song is played by a little girl, but the instruments used in this piece of "Blessings of Love" are too complicated, and the little girl will have several musicians to assist, you see..."

"No problem!" Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "How many people just let them come up, since it's a competition, why would this king care about these details?"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Huang Ling'er saluted Zhu Song, turned around and picked up a three-stringed musical instrument, lightly fiddled with her bare hands,

Edge!

The sound of sanxian sounded, and then a colorful boat floated on the artificial lake. Before a cup of tea, the sound of drums, boards, flutes, sheng, sanxian, pipa and other ancient musical instruments sounded on the boat one after another.

"Is the music so mixed at this time?" Zhu Song wondered in his heart, "But why does this instrumental music sound like an opera?"

Just as Zhu Song kept muttering in his heart, Huang Ling'er's vermilion lips parted slightly, and a soft voice came out of his throat: "As I wish, joy is better than flying immortals. Traveling in a masculine costume, who has seen it in ancient and modern times... Butterflies pass through the forest, hidden Low and high. Containing smoke, warming the distant village..."

puff!

Zhu Song, who had calmed down and planned to listen to the song, squirted out a sip of iced fruit wine.

"Crap, isn't this Kunqu Opera?" Zhu Song's eyes widened, and he said to himself, "Who said there were no operas in the Ming Dynasty? I fought with him!"

Kunqu opera, also known as Kunqiang or Kunshanqiang, is one of the oldest operas in China and a treasure in traditional Chinese culture and art.

In fact, Zhu Song is ignorant. Kunqu Opera appeared as early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was produced in the Kunshan area of ​​Suzhou. Its distribution area was only limited to the Suzhou area at first. In the Wanli period, it expanded with Suzhou as the center. To the south of the Yangtze River and north of the Qiantang River.
