Dress to be a celebrity

The lecture conference was held right next to the Dragon Boat Festival, and I watched the lively dragon boat race as the opening ceremony program without spending more money, which was cheaper.Even when drinking wine under the tree, you can see someone playing a water swing on the stream in the distance-the swinger swings high from the river again and again, swinging to the highest point and turning over, just like the high-altitude in the Olympic Games Diving, sparked a splash and cheers.

The guests looked at the water swing, and those who wrote poems wrote poems. In the Song Dynasty, they asked someone to bring paper and pen, Go, Touhu, Shuanglu and other playthings for them to pass the time.Gradually, it was approaching noon, and the sun was shining brightly. The coachman who had been arranged earlier came driving the carriage, and took everyone to the Song Academy in front of Jiaoyi Mountain for dinner.

He drank Xiangdong wine and ate Wuping fish.

Wuping County is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although seafood is less, fresh fish and shrimps are readily available.What's more, the summer bamboo shoots of Maozhu in this county are very sweet and delicious. Bamboo bamboo mats grow next to the forest. At lunch time, they are all turned over to make different dishes and served on the table.

Fish naturally has to sit with sheep to get a good name.Most of the residents in Wuping County were immigrated from the Central Plains area in the old dynasty. They are good at cooking mutton stewed in red soup and mutton boiled in wine. , Stewed mutton.

There are few local sheep farmers, so there are slightly fewer mutton dishes and more pork dishes.The piglets in June have been eunuched, there is no fishy smell, the fat has not yet been fully raised, and the fat and thinness are even and tender.

The hooves are marinated with nitrate to make crystal meat, the loin is picked out and hung with batter for soft frying; the pork belly can be simmered in wine to make Dongpo pork, or braised in large pieces, or steamed with preserved vegetables and buckwheat, or combined with rock sugar Stewed into cherry meat, or deep-fried with a flower knife, poured red sauce to make lychee meat... and chopped into fine saozi, steamed into lion's head, local style Yong Tau Foo, any dish is delicious big move.

There are also chicken, duck and goose meat, steamed in powder, boiled in white, and fragrant, all served whole.For example, small birds such as quail and oriole are either fried and burnt on the whole plate, or chopped into puree for snacks, put together into boxes and placed around the main dishes.

Zan Box is not considered a main dish, but a snack with wine, which mostly contains marinated or dried fish, meat, chicken, goose, dried and fresh fruits, salty snacks, and roasted five-spice beef jerky.

The imperial court forbids the slaughter of farm cattle, and the only time when beef can be eaten is when the cattle are dying of old age, and the government sends people to slaughter them, so that they can occasionally eat meat.So every time he encounters slaughtered cattle, Song Shi will buy a few pieces back to satisfy his cravings—the brisket will be stewed on the spot, and the tendon meat will be braised as beef or roasted into beef jerky.

Most of the jerky is five-flavored, taking care of the light taste of the Fujianese. Only at their table with officials from other provinces, there is spicy shredded beef soaked in cornel oil in the box.Fang Tixue's hometown is in Huguang, and he is also a person who can eat spicy food. When he saw the red oil, he directly pointed his chopsticks at the shredded spicy pork with fine white sesame seeds on the surface.

The spicy taste is strong, slightly bitter and pungent, but the bitter taste is overwhelmed by the salty, sweet, spicy and spicy taste of the beef jerky itself, and the slight bitterness is refreshing.This beef jerky was obviously soaked in cornel oil, but it was refreshing, without congealed lard, and without the smell of rapeseed oil. I don't know where his family got such a skillful cook.

No matter how he tasted it, he couldn't taste the cooking method of this spicy oil, so he pointed to the beef and asked County Magistrate Song how it was made.

Master Song said with a smile: "This dogwood oil is not fried with lard, but with tea seed oil. It tastes natural and fresh. Previously, the Xiaguan family liked to eat lard and sesame oil. Since I became an official in Guangxi, I saw tea oil for sale. , I often buy tea oil to eat instead of lard and vegetable oil.”

Vegetable oil has a smell, which is not as refreshing as camellia oil, but lard is still more fragrant than camellia oil. If it weren't for his son to take care of it, he would rather use more lard for cooking.

Song Shi was sitting with him at this table, so he stood up and explained: "Camellia oil is light and clear, clears heat and detoxifies, cools blood and stops bleeding, can nourish the liver, improve eyesight, and benefit the intestines and stomach. Regular consumption can make the body light and healthy, and it is not easy to accumulate phlegm and dampness." ..."

When he brought a group to Jiangxi, there was a travel goods souvenir shop he cooperated with that sold tea oil. He also recited the soft publicity that Zhu Yuanzhang named tea oil as "imperial cooking oil" after he ascended the throne, and brought the group to others. Going to the store to scan the goods.

If it hadn't been for Dazheng Taizu who traveled in advance to change history, he would now be able to figure out whether the story is true or the history of the Ming Dynasty specially provided by the tea oil manufacturer.However, the story can be doubted. It is true that tea oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid, and linoleic acid, and it is healthier than eating animal oil.

Fang Tixue laughed and said, "You actually know something about medicine? There are people in our hospital who sell camellia oil, but not as much as vegetable oil, and have never eaten it. If it really has the benefits you mentioned, I should buy more in the future It came to eat."

Song Shi hurriedly said modestly: "The student doesn't know any medical skills, but he saw the villagers planting this tree to extract oil for a living, asked a few more questions, and looked it up in medical books."

Looking at the box of bright red shredded beef, Fang Tixue couldn't help talking, and he must praise him: "Zhu Zi said: When talking about the order, you know the first; , it will live up to the sage books you have read all these years."

He followed Zhu Zi's Neo-Confucianism, and loved to talk about "knowledge and action are always necessary".

In the afternoon, the Lecture Conference was held. When he gave a lecture on the stage, he also talked about Zhu Zi's theory of knowledge and action: "Knowledge and action are always necessary, just as eyes can't do without feet, and feet can't stand without eyes."

Although knowledge and action have priorities, they cannot be separated. The two are like human eyes and feet.

To be a scholar must understand the principles of the world and know the affairs of the world.However, if one only knows it but does not practice it personally, then one's "knowledge" is not truly penetrating and complete "true knowledge"; only after "practicing it" in person can one deeply understand the truth sought.Knowledge and action promote each other, the clearer the knowledge, the more steadfast the practice, and the more steadfast the practice, the more clear the knowledge.

Although the theory of knowing and doing is known to everyone, Fang Ti's teachings are profound and simple. He also quoted the other two of the three sages in the southeast as "extending knowledge, strengthening and practicing each other", "knowledge and action must be mutually developed", and his disciple Chen Chun's "knowledge and action are mutually beneficial". "Progress in parallel", progressively, step by step, analyze the truth that knowledge and action are related to each other.

This lecture was enough for a big class, and there was silence in the audience, all memorizing and pondering the truth of Tixue's lecture.

Song Shi was also desperately taking notes in the audience - this was said by Mr. Tixue himself. He will take the exam in the province in the fall, and the examiner who will issue the papers will still be Fang Tixue. Write down the philosophy of Tixue. In order to grasp the central idea and not go astray.

Many people in the audience had the same thoughts as him, so Tixue naturally understood this and just waited for them quietly.It wasn't until the lecture stopped for a while that all the beings in the audience came back to their senses, and under Song Shi's guidance, they got up and thanked Mr. Fang for the lecture.

Master Fang smiled lightly, and nodded to County Magistrate Song who was sitting on the chairman of the stage.

After a while, Song Xian walked up with the hem of his official robe, and acted as the host himself, and said to the students in the audience: "If you have any questions, you can write down the questions you want to ask on a piece of paper, and fold them carefully. Alright. Later, there will be officials from the office bringing boxes to collect, and the two adults and two old gentlemen who will give lectures at the end of the meeting will each pick three questions from it and answer them."

You can't follow the press conference and let them ask questions with their mouths. You have to filter out suitable questions like an online interview.

But such an opportunity to ask questions usually does not easily fall on these ordinary students.Everyone in the audience was in an uproar, and they didn't even bother to make up their notes. They hurriedly searched their brains to think about what they wanted to ask, or discussed with their friends from the same country.

Fang Tixue listened to the buzzing voices below, but did not leave the stage, but swept the audience, coughed, and said calmly: "The principle of 'knowledge and action are necessary' that I just said, have you ever explained it clearly? If you know this truth, the problem is not limited to 'knowledge and action'."

Alas!Wouldn't it be possible to ask questions around the Four Books, and get more points for the exam questions in next autumn's exam?

The sentient beings hurriedly crossed out the word "knowledge and action" that they had just written, thinking hard about how to ask questions to formulate the exam questions.Fang Tixue had a panoramic view of their small movements on the high platform, shook his head with a smile, walked slowly to the leadership seat, knocked on Song Shi's table in the guest seat, and asked relaxedly: "All the students are already dead at this time. You know what I'm talking about, and you're thinking about what to ask this academy, but you student only writes, don't tell me you don't know it?"

Song Shi was focused on listening to the lectures, and was not studying the exam questions at all, so when he was called, he was calm and calm, and he stood up and said "yes".

He has not only memorized many papers on "knowledge and action are necessary", but also mastered Wang Yangming's "knowledge and action unity" theory of mind and Wang Fuzhi's materialistic view of knowledge and action "after action is prophetic". Jump forward 600 years.

But Fang Tixue didn't really want to listen to his report, so he replied in the same relaxed tone: "Students have listened to the teacher's lecture today, and it is only the first "knowledge". Only after earning a good reputation in Qiuwei can I dare to say "knowledge" to the teacher."

Fang Tixue laughed loudly and said, "You student is very courageous. Kai has a reason to use the words of a sage as an adjustment? This court will see what grades you can get next year-you don't think I will be able to find out when you return to Beijing. You, there is Huan Tongpan here who is your senior brother, I will only ask him for the list of the township examination!"

Song Shi bowed his head and said humbly: "Teacher, don't worry, the students will hand over the rankings to the teacher in person." Even the papers have to be handed in front of the teacher, and the number of candidates in the test depends entirely on the teacher.

Mr. Fang didn't know that he had the guts to fatten him up. He dared to take the exam in Fujian, but he only thought that it would be easy to pass the exam in Shuntian Township. He had a good senior brother by his side to guide him. After a few years, he waved his sleeves in satisfaction. Tell him to sit down.

He also sat back in the seat, and said to Huan Ling beside him, "Nephew Huan is very good with Song Ziqi, and I will also tutor him in the future. If you brothers and sisters have all become young Jinshi, it will be a good story to tell. You first Weng's face is also radiant."

Huan Ling replied: "We are also planning to do so. Junior Brother will go back to the mansion with me after the Dragon Boat Festival, and will bother Uncle Nian at that time. I hope Uncle Nian will not give up."

He naturally took care of everything, and talked about Song Shi's affairs as if they were his own. Fang Tixue didn't realize what was wrong, so he responded directly.

At this time, County Magistrate Song was hosting on the stage. He didn't know that someone had already taken his old father's position quietly, communicating with the teacher about his son, and he was still conscientiously hosting on the stage. The next person please Speaking of officials, Mr. Zhang, the former doctor of the anthology department of the Ministry of officials, came to the stage.

They arranged the lectures in the order of their official positions: Although Fang Tixue was a seventh-rank censor, he was in a humble position, and even a third-rank official in Beijing had to bow down in front of him, so naturally no one dared to rank him In front of him; after that, Zhang Langzhong, who was once a doctor of the fifth-rank official department, but left his position of real power and nobility early, and returned to his hometown to become a famous lecturer; Mr. Wang, who served as the magistrate of Huzhou, retired from his old age and became an official; the last thing he saw Huan Ling, who served as the general judge of the sixth rank.

Zhang Langzhong opened his own academy to teach. He has rich teaching experience. He does not talk about Neo-Confucianism, but the basic theories related to the exam. In the past 40 years since the founding of the country, almost all the questions in "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" have been given. The exam questions are most likely from " "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", and "The Analects of Confucius" is a book that records Confucius' words and deeds, and it is more likely to be a topic, so he picked a section of "Bayi" to talk about it.

Wang Zhifu, on the other hand, has been an official close to the people for many years. He puts practice first, and he talked about "Beixi Ziyi" written by Chen Chun, the successor of Zhu Zi.

Chen Chun's statement that "strengthening action is the main thing, and knowledge is secondary", is more in line with his wishes than Zhu Zi's statement.But before Fang Tixue talked about "knowledge and action are necessary", he could not continue to talk about knowledge and action, so he talked about "respect" in "Beixi Ziyi".

Zhu Zi talked about "the principle of living in respect and poverty", and he started from the word "respect" and told the audience how to maintain respect and cultivate the mind: when there is nothing to do, the mind is calm and calm, and the mind does not wander outside things; One thing, don't be swayed by the second and third.

Although it had nothing to do with the exam, and it wasn't the thought of Zhu Zi, the editor-in-chief of the textbook, Song Shi listened very carefully—this kind of respectful work is also very useful for procrastination.If you can really concentrate on one thing and not be disturbed by idle books, chores, outside sales, and the sound of playing ball, your learning efficiency will definitely improve a lot!

Come back and write a motto and stick it on the wall.

After Wang Zhifu's lecture was over, everyone in the audience stood up to express their thanks as usual, and then discussed what questions to ask him.Song Shi quickly wrote a question of the mean and folded it up, then he focused on the seat in front of him and watched Huan Ling walking towards the stage without blinking.

Finally it was his brother's turn to give a lecture.

His senior brother is very knowledgeable, and he can be among the top ten in the country!

He quietly straightened his back a little bit, energized himself, grasped the brush, and just waited to write down the content of his entire lecture.
