Dress to be a celebrity

"A sage can fulfill his own nature, so he can truly see the nature of that person, just like me, so that he can also fulfill his nature. If he is not benevolent, teach him to be benevolent; if he is unrighteous, let him be righteous... "

"Wait a minute! There should be another explanation here—"

The guests on the stage were explaining the section "Only sincerity in the world can fulfill one's nature; if one can fulfill one's nature, one can fully realize one's nature", Xu Yu couldn't help but stood up and interrupted him.

Just now he endured the shame and only said that he didn't know how to do it, and asked questions such as "how can a sage fully realize the nature of people and things". To judge what the other party said, he stood up and wanted to speak by himself, but the host came up and held him down.

Of course, it’s not that the host, Song, pushed him into a chair because he was a northern man, taller and stronger than their petite Suzhou talents, but Song Shi stopped him from speaking his own essence, Overwhelm the chance of the Fujianese!

Before he could ask "Why is it so easy to fulfill human nature", Song Shi held up a loudspeaker and shouted: "Did Xu Jun just fail to understand the sentence 'can fully exploit his nature' just now, or is there something else? What's puzzling?"

The mover originally told him to "wait a minute" and forced him to stand on the stage awkwardly, but now he also recovered, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was sorting out his thoughts and trying to convince him later.

Xu Yu admitted that he didn't understand once, but now he refuses to pretend to be ignorant again. He also picked up the speaker hanging from the seat, and said directly to the audience: "Of course I understand the above, it's just" Can do the best of human nature'—”

Song Shi immediately stopped him: "The phrase 'can fulfill human nature' should be interpreted as a sage who is purely based on the principles of heaven and not mixed with human desires, so he can fulfill the nature of destiny. However, no matter whether people in the world are virtuous or foolish, the sage sees them as Sex is also the same as oneself, but it is hindered by selfish desires and cannot understand its own nature, so the sage extends himself to others and leads him to return to his original nature. Is this what Mr. Sun said just now?"

Sun Juren nodded again and again: "That's what I said just now, I don't know why Jun Xu doesn't understand?"

Xu Yu was blocked twice by Song Shisan, but instead of throwing out his high-level discussion, he rose up to ask questions, and said rather aggrievedly: "Brother Sun just said that he can fulfill human nature, but he only talked about the sage's understanding of human nature." , so he can fulfill his nature, but he doesn’t talk about how to make mediocre people can also fulfill their nature.”

Forced by his question, Sun Juren couldn't turn his head around for a while, his face turned red suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I was talking about 'Anyone who is not benevolent, teach him to be benevolent; anyone who is unrighteous, call him To be righteous, to be rude and unwise, tell him to be polite and wise. If you don’t understand something, wait until I finish speaking and ask again. Is it the etiquette of your Suzhou scholar to interrupt people’s conversations like this?”

Although he was right, once he said this, it was no longer an academic dispute, but a fight on stage.Song Shi hurriedly intervened to mediate a sentence: "Mr. Xu is young and has a quick temper, so if you have any doubts, you should ask him immediately. Senior Sun is fortunate not to argue with him. Just now Senior was talking about the sage who educates the world with benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, so that people will be able to understand." They all have their own natures, so let's explain to Xu Jun alone after finishing the lecture."

He seems to be just recounting where Sun Juren invited him, omitting the phrases "doing his best" and "doing his righteousness" just now as "educating the world with benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom". Start with the two characters, and explain how the sage can fulfill his human nature.

Sun Juren asked him to understand the key points, and immediately broadened his mind. He first finished what he had prepared before, and added a paragraph "Establishing politics and religion, guiding them through order, so that everyone can return to their nature."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Yan again with lingering fear, and saw that he had nothing else to pick on, so he continued talking.

Song Shi was also worried like him, for fear that when he talked about "being able to fully grasp the nature of things", Xu Mingren would come up again with "Why do you say that the sage's nature of seeing things is the same as seeing people" and "How to fully realize the nature of things".Fortunately, Sun Juren had been prepared for a long time, and he would rather talk in detail than miss one point, so that people can pick out the fault, and finally finished the topic smoothly.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, Song Shi applauded unconsciously, and praised "Good speech", Teacher Huan in the town hall also followed his example and clapped his hands with a smile, praising Sun Juren for his meticulous speech, without any mistakes or omissions, by the way He also praised Xu Xuan's saying "Listen to the lecture with your heart, draw inferences from one instance".

Both the teacher and the host applauded and praised people like this. Sun Juren, who was still a little nervous after the lecture, was about to start to confess his ignorance, and the next student, student Liu, also clapped his hands.Xu Yu, a native of Suzhou, didn't know what special customs they had in Fujian. Seeing that there were many people applauding, he started clapping himself.

With the help of a few of them, the remaining talented scholars on the stage also applauded blankly.The students listening to the lecture in the audience were even more clueless. Seeing the guests on the stage applauding, they involuntarily (also drummed up.

Hearing the warm applause that he hadn't heard for a long time, Song Shi suddenly remembered that China doesn't seem to have the habit of applauding speeches. This time he is considered a pioneer of the times?

Now that you have led, let’s lead to the end!

He picked up the microphone and put it near his mouth, and said emotionally: "Sun Juren just explained in detail and clearly, and student Xu asked just right. After hearing this scene, Mr. Song felt that all the difficulties in this chapter have been resolved. Everyone If you feel the same way, please follow me and applaud him for encouragement!"

He raised his hands in front of him and clapped them hard, Huan Ling was the first to agree.The applause on and off the stage continued, and they were asked to arouse their emotions, and continued to applaud passionately with his applause.

Song Shi didn't know when there was an applause ceremony in the modern sense in his own history, but when he went back today, he could write an article to commemorate this first group applause in history, which can be used by later generations of scholars for archaeology.

"On the eighth day of May in the 24th year of Dazheng Xintai, at the self-study meeting of the [-]nd Fujian Lecture and Exchange Conference, the host Song Shi and the judge Huan Ling guided more than [-] audience members to applaud the guests on stage."

This is a day that can be remembered in history.

He applauded excitedly for history, and the guests on the stage also applauded excitedly for himself. Even Xu Yan forgot the aggrievedness he had just wanted to be in the limelight, and his chest was filled with passion. The good atmosphere of the Fujian Lecture Conference.

Even when they held a seminar in Suzhou, they only gave lectures on stage by themselves. After the lecture, they listened to the comments of famous experts and the praise of scholars of the same generation. applaud?

Even if there is no comment, the thundercloud-like applause is enough to enjoy the pleasures he has done in his life!

He recalled the feeling that there was only a piece of applause for him in the world, and if there was a gods help in his writing, he would create a brilliant work with every word and every word in a blink of an eye.

In the evening, Zhu Hao and a few friends thought that he had been wronged and lost face on stage, so they came to comfort him, but they saw that he looked proud and forgot to go on stage to pretend to be ashamed of not knowing the chapters and sentences.Without waiting for everyone to speak to persuade him, he took out his new essay to share with them with a bright face.

Everyone passed it on and read it, and they wanted to praise his handwriting for getting better and better, and they wanted to praise his articles for their brilliance, but rather than praise him, they wanted to ask why his attitude changed from "to rectify the name of a talented scholar in Suzhou" Has it become a lecture society that does its best to praise Fujian?

Because he was the first one to be applauded and praised by hundreds of people at the Fujian Lecture Society. Praising Fujian's conference is praising him!

He smiled and said nothing, and after everyone had read the article, he shook the page and said, "No matter how busy Song Shi was, I wrote an article to praise his lectures, and he always had to take a look at it. Whenever he read After reading my article, I don’t believe that he can’t be moved by my literary talent and calligraphy, so I will send this article to him as a condition and ask him to print it into a Song book edition for me.”

He really took the article, and found a gap between classes to find Song Shi, and offered the article to him, asking him to print a few copies of this article for himself with Song's printing method, so that he could give it to others.

Of course, he is not too many to print dozens or hundreds of copies.

Song Shi looked at his weak Chu script, and almost wanted to check if he had a fever—a calligrapher with a reputation in history didn't use his own calligraphy to print books, so he came to him specially to ask him to print them. Cheng Pang Zhonghua hard pen calligraphy?

Xu Yu said very firmly: "That's right, I want to print more and send them back to my hometown. Xu Yu said that this article still has a bit of literary talent, so I will send it to Brother Song for collection."

This is also the calligraphy of celebrities in their early years, and it can increase in value after being collected for a few years, so there is no disadvantage.

Song Shi put away the article unceremoniously, and replied: "Since Brother Xu intends to ask for a copy of my new engraving seal, how about I print two hundred copies for you? Brother Xu's calligraphy is excellent, and the article is elegant, I want to include this article in the quotations of this Fujian Lecture Conference, I wonder if Brother Xu can agree?"

This [maybe in the future] celebrity article proves that he invented the applause ceremony in the Song Dynasty, which is much more natural than his own writing to boast.

The two hit it off immediately, and when Song Shi returned to the county government office, he took out waxed paper and carved his article non-stop.After engraving, put a layer of fine tissue paper under the gauze for brushing ink, and then sandwich wax paper under the tissue paper, and finally spread the fine leather paper for printing on the bottom of the printing box, press the gauze back on the box, and lift the ink. The roller is printed.

He printed many books, and he also printed experience.

If a piece of cotton paper is sandwiched between the gauze and the waxed paper during printing, the excess ink will be absorbed by the cotton paper and then flow onto the waxed paper. question on the page.Originally, a wax paper could only print more than [-] pages. After adding cotton paper, the consumption of wax paper was also reduced. A wax plate could clearly print more than [-] articles, and the workload of engraving was also greatly reduced.

Although there were a lot of participants in this conference and there were many quotations from the lectures, their brothers and sisters took turns to engrave and mimeograph, and on the closing day, almost all the quotations from the conference were printed.

Except for officials like Huang Xunyin who needed to go to work on time, most of the talented scholars and celebrities who came to the conference could get their printed Quotations before leaving Wuping.

Xu Yu not only took his copy of "Quotations", but also added two hundred single-page articles, which was more than others, and the articles written by himself were included in "Quotations", which can also be used in the name of the conference. Provinces, even introduced to the capital...

He will be able to end next year in Chunwei, and his articles and talents may have entered the capital earlier, and they will be remembered in the examiner's mind. Are you afraid that you will not be awarded a Jinshi?

He had long forgotten about the dispute between Suzhou and Fujian, he came here full of thoughts, and returned satisfied.Although the talents who came with him did not have articles printed in Quotations like him, his glory is the glory of Suzhou talents. When everyone returned to the voyage, they looked at the new books in their hands and were quite proud that their masterpieces of Suzhou talents could be included in the book. in.

It should be noted that this "Quotations" originally only printed the content of the lectures on the table, and even the articles of the Fujian people were not included in the book. It can be seen that the articles of their Suzhou people still overwhelm Fujian!

Not only Suzhou talented scholars reaped surprises from this conference.Among the well-known Fujian scholars who participated in the conference, many people also encountered a surprise from the provincial government after returning home——Fang Tixue personally posted a post and invited several officials who showed their profound knowledge in the two Fujian lecture conferences Jinshi will be the same examiner in the provincial examination this autumn.

The author has something to say: refer to Li Dongyang's straight talk, Zhang Juzheng's four books straight explanation, if Mr. Li bears with it, he will change Zhang Juzheng's wool in the future
