Chapter 120: Chen Ziang's visit

It was Mid-Autumn Festival, and the court gave three days off, but there was no holiday in Qingxin Village. More than 300 students in the science school are still in class.

In the turbulent autumn, Tang Song did not leave Qingxin Village. In the afternoon, a guest who had heard of Tang Song for a long time came to the village.

The man who came was thin and short, but his mind was high-spirited. He spoke Jiannan accent, which was the youngest and the lowest official position among the poetic world today. He was famous for his "thousand gold slamming the piano" with a sword.

As soon as he came, he did not go to the office, so he wanted to visit the school buildings. Although there was no clear order at this time, Chen Zi'ang's assistance in the scientific examination in February next year was a foregone conclusion, and it was called the assistant. It was just because he did not have enough official position to lead, and he was actually the actual person in charge of the scientific examination in the next spring.

He was responsible for the scientific examination. Now he came to Qingxinzhuang to see the general students. This is also the only thing that comes with the questions. At this moment, Tang Song guided him to walk through all the school buildings.

Chen Zi'angchu had few conversations and read very carefully. During this period, he stayed in several school buildings for a long time and listened to the lectures of teachers from various subjects. Among them, he stayed in agricultural science schools the longest.

After he finished his turn, it was already half an hour. When Tang Song invited him to the office, the tea cooked by the servants was almost boiling.

Tang Song waved his hand to ask the servant to retreat and personally ordered tea. Chen Zi'ang took the teacup and saw Tang Song'an sitting down, and asked, "This place is called Tongke, how many more are there?"

"The Jinshi class is to teach lyrics and songs. In addition, there are also six subjects of Ming Jing, Ming Dharma, Ming Purpose, Ming Agriculture, and Ming Agriculture. In fact, it cannot be considered a division of subjects, but can only be considered six courses. Every student in my village must learn these six courses..."

Afterwards, Tang Song raised a teacup, meaning to invite him to drink, "But I am different from the Imperial College. For example, the Ming Sutra only recites scriptures, understands scriptures, and does not distinguish scriptures; for example, the Ming Sutra is to teach only the general outline of the "Tang Law" and some of the most commonly used laws and regulations, with the purpose of making students understand the laws of our dynasty. The creation of the rules is also to make students understand the basic rules and routines of creation rather than the specific construction process and skills of the other three subjects…”

"What do you mean is to only take the essence, not as much as the small details?"

"Yes," Tang Song nodded, "The general science is not to cultivate craftsmen, but to cultivate officials... not only to recite poems and essays, but also to understand all kinds of people's livelihood. (Look at "" yz For example, if you want to recruit mulberry farming, you must always have some understanding of the matter of mulberry farming. To build water conservancy, you must always have some understanding of the creation methods. In this way, the other party can focus on the people's governance, so that they will not rely solely on imagination, but will eventually waste money, grain, and manpower..."

Chen Zi'ang was drinking tea while listening to Tang Song's words, "Since Is it because of the general subject, why is the Mingshu and other subjects in the school of learning?

"I have said just now that the general subject is not to cultivate specialist talents in each subject, but to cultivate officials who are well-versed in civil affairs. Since this is the case, why should I set up a Mingshu subject? All officials who may not be qualified must be great calligraphers? The quality of the writing has nothing to do with the quality of the ability to manage government, so it is not set up..."

As soon as Tang Song finished speaking, Chen Zi'ang asked immediately: "Since that's the case, why bother to set up poems and sing them and essay them and write them to the Ming Dynasty?"

"The establishment of the Ming Jing is to let students understand the righteousness of the world. Poetry and songs are to let students have the ability to communicate with officialdom. Since they become officials, they will inevitably have to interact with local scholars and colleagues in the officialdom. They do not understand poetry and songs at all, and it is difficult to deal with such scenes as "

Chen Zi'ang didn't ask any more questions to sip the tea. However, when Tang Song saw him like this, he asked, "What does Lord Chen think of the design of a general science?"

"I won't say anything else. I just say that even if your general science is not light, the art is heavy, at least, the art is important. This one alone has been a system of teaching and education for more than a thousand years. The general science... must be attacked by the soldiers. The future existence is still unknown. If you can pass this time, it will not be too late to talk about the advantages and disadvantages..."

After hearing this, Tang Song smiled and did not ask any more. Chen Zi'ang said it right, the so-called self-cultivation, family, country and peace, education in this era focuses on self-cultivation, that is, moral cultivation is the most important content and foundation of education. The purpose of education is to cultivate students into moral perfections and saints, so that this is the right way and the great way. As for the others, it is not important.

In the final analysis, the educational concepts of this era are condensed into four words, one emphasizes Taoism and neglects arts. However, the educational concepts of general subjects are the opposite. This is no wonder Chen Zi'ang made a judgment that Shi Lin attacked him.

The matter of Tongke was already said, Chen Zi'ang finished drinking a cup of tea but had no intention of leaving. Tang Song was puzzled and asked with a smile: "What are the instructions?"

"Don't mention 'adult' anymore. I already know that it is because of your recommendation. Prime Minister Lu just chose me to help with the exam..." After the official said that, Chen Zi'ang smiled very cheerful, "I'm going to say that, in addition to seeing the general subject, I also want to use a precious place to watch the grand occasion of the Neighborhood Poetry Festival tonight..."

Tang Song was surprised, "Brother Bo Yu's poems are famous all over the world, but the Eight Old Poetry Club has never invited you?"

"Since the last Ningbichi literary meeting, Young Brother Tang's reputation is no less than me. Has the Eight Olds invited you?" Chen Zi'ang put down the teacup and looked at Tang Song with a smile. "Your words, my poems, the Eight Olds wish you could not get rid of them, so how could he invite me?" Chen Zi'ang said to the emperor. Tang Song understood what he meant after thinking about it. When the two looked at each other, they couldn't help laughing out loud.

Like himself, Chen Zi'ang is also an alien who is marginalized by the literary and poetic world today. The root cause is that his poetry propositions are completely non-mainstream and are a force against the mainstream.

For hundreds of years since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the palace style poetry has occupied an absolute mainstream position in the poetry world, while Chen Zi'ang is the most aggressive in the current world to criticize the palace style poetry style and is a banner figure who can be a counter-palace style poetry style.

Cui Lu, Li Zheng and other gentry families were prosperous in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. They tried a lot in the emergence and prosperity of palace style poetry, and palace style poetry also brought infinite glory to these families. Because of this origin that lasted for hundreds of years, the gentry families naturally became the natural maintenance and beneficiaries of palace style poetry.

One is the leader of the anti-palace style, and the other is the maintainer of the palace style poetry. In this case, it is inevitable that Chen Zi'ang is not favored by the aristocratic families and the eight elders.

Chen Zi'ang became famous for many years, but he was always marginalized by the poetry world and his career was quite unsuccessful. It is actually related to his strong opposition to the style of palace poetry.

After the two equally rejected people laughed at each other, Tang Song felt much more relieved. He immediately called him to work as a servant and ordered him to prepare a place to enjoy the moon in the pavilion on the rockery of the East Courtyard.

Chen Zi'ang is a straightforward person and has a taste for Tang Song. Moreover, their poetry opinions are very similar, and both of them share the same hatred for the palace style poems. In addition, Tang Song's previous recommendation of Chen Zi'ang was the foundation. The two of them had a very pleasant chat during their business.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already dark, and the servants came to report that all the things that were watching the moon were ready to stop.

Upon hearing this, Tang Song stood up, and Chen Zi'ang also smiled and stood up, "Today's meeting with Brother Tang is really like a good deal, and I should have a happy conversation..."

"I want to do it, please"

Qingxin Village is a distinction between the princes and princes of the Li Tang royal family. It covers a large area. The four courtyards in the east, south, west and north are each in a system. Each courtyard has a top garden. The back garden of the east courtyard is just separated from the Myth Garden next door. There is a rockery in the back garden, and a small pavilion on the rockery is just for viewing the moon.

The rockery in the back garden of the East Courtyard is very large. The huge rocks that construct the rockery are all rugged and abrupt. There is a small path between them that can reach the pavilion on the top. The two of them wind up along the narrow path, step by step, wherever their hands touch and eyes see, there is endless wildness.

When I climbed to the top of the rockery, I saw that the palace lanterns had already been hung at the four corners of the Linglong pavilion that only accommodated three people. The table tables were also prepared, with four types of fruits and six-color dishes on it. There were a small red mud stove and a flying crane incense burner on both sides of the table table. The aroma of wine was already heard from the wine cup on the small red mud stove.

Chen Zi'ang looked back at the way he came, looked at the furnishings in Linglong Pavilion, and praised him, "Where is good..."

As soon as the two of them sat in the pavilion, they saw a servant coming from the door of the back garden with palace lanterns, leading two slim beauties behind the lamp.

Look at the beauty who is under the flowers, under the moon, under the lamp. At this time, the full moon is hanging high and the palace lanterns are blurred, which makes the beauty behind the lamp more charming.

Chen Zi'ang saw it first: "Young brother is so lucky to have such a stunning appearance on the moon. But someone came uninvited and disturbed the young brother's romantic meeting and became a villain..."

Tang Song had already stood up at this time: "Brother Bo Yu is wrong, so let me introduce you to a confidant..." After saying that, he left the pavilion and went down the rockery to meet Shen Sisi.

Seeing Tang Song coming to greet him with a smile, Shen Sisi shook her head, "The poetry meeting next door is about to begin, and the eight elders have already come to the door and you can still laugh..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Song smiled and greeted the jade beads following Shen Sisi holding the pipa.

The three of them returned to Linglong Pavilion. Chen Zi'ang had already stood up. Tang Song pointed to Shen Sisi, "Boyu, this stunning beauty is the confidant Sisi girl whom I just mentioned..."

Hearing the word "confidant", Shen Sisi's heart suddenly felt warm and she glanced at Tang Song with watery eyes.

This man finally has a little conscience. It's worth it. I always care about him. It's worth it. I'm here after a night.

After a thought, Shen Sisi was blessed as a gift, "Bo Yu? Can you ask if it's Chen Zi'ang, a great talent in Jiannan who has a daughter who has thrown the piano in front of him?"

"What a great talent, it's a ridiculous praise! Miss Sisi has been famous in Beijing for a long time, and she finally got to see her today. The great fate... Chen Zi'ang smiled generously and invited Shen Sisi to sit down.

After sitting down, Chen Zi'ang looked at the pipa in Yuzhu's arms, and smiled to Tang Song sideways, "Miss Sisi comes on the moon, and there is a pipa to accompany her. Brother Tang is already ready to fight with the eight elders next door?"

"Isn't I wary? I have no choice but to do it!" Tang Song mentioned the wine cup on the red clay stove, and added wine to the three of them and said in a faint voice: "The person has come to the door, I have no choice but to rise up and fight..."
