Ping An does not understand, please also enlighten me!
Zhu Pingan’s voice resounded in the lecture theatre, echoing in Yang Guoliang’s mind and in the minds of everyone in the lecture theatre.
The Great Dao was simple!
Zhu Pingan’s question was very simple, but it pointed directly to the root of Yang Guoliang’s theory of “the style of the king and the virtue of the queen consort”.
If the skin doesn’t exist, the hair will not be attached to it!
If you can’t answer Zhu Pingan’s question, then Yang Guoliang’s theory, no matter how lofty and politically correct it is, is still just a bubble.
While Yang Guoliang was pondering over Zhu Pingan’s question, other people in the scripture office were also racking their brains to ponder over Zhu Pingan’s question as to why the gentleman referred to King Wen of Zhou and the lady referred to Zhou’s future!
Bells and drums, zither and serpent, these musical instruments only the king of Zhou was entitled to enjoy?
Obviously not, the king of Zhou can use the bells, drums, zither and serpent, the nobles also use these musical instruments for banquets, and the common people can also use these musical instruments for rituals and marriages. It’s just that the rank is different, and the rehearsal is different. (only the south side) two rows of dancers. The common people could also use musical instruments in weddings, funerals and rituals, but the number of people could not exceed the number of “scholars”. For the rich people, if they are happy, they can ask two people or themselves to play the zither or drums.
Then how to explain the gentleman, lady refers to the Zhou Wen Wang, Zhou Queen?
The people racked their brains and thought hard without success.
“Dr Yang, please also enlighten me.”Zhu Pingan stood on the stage and once again arched his hand.
“Lady ……Gentleman ……”
Yang Guoliang stayed on the stage, his face was like ashes, his forehead was sweaty, his hands were also full of sweat, his brain seemed to be pressed by an invisible boulder, it wouldn’t even work, his lips were a little white, muttering.
Outside the window a breeze blew, carrying the scorching temperature outside, blowing into the lecture theatre, also blowing on Yang Guoliang’s face.
The wind was weak and only turned up a page of scrolls, but blowing on Yang Guoliang’s face caused Yang Guoliang’s body to stumble.
Was the wind too strong?
Or is this great hall too hot?
Why do I feel a little unable to stand, wanting to vertigo over like ……Yang Guoliang struggled to maintain his balance.
“Huh.”
At this time, the scripture lecture place suddenly came a hehe laughter, in a full and cloudy atmosphere, full of confidence.
Accompanied by the hehe laughter, a person under the podium stood up.
With his hands behind his back, he looked askance at Zhu Pingan, his figure was tall and erect, like a hero who stood in the midst of the wind and waves to save the day.
His figure was so magnificent.
It was him!
King Jing’s House Scholar – Ma Huating.
When Yang Guoliang’s mind went blank and he didn’t know how to answer, Lord Ma Huating Ma stood out.
Ma Huating’s hefty laugh attracted the attention of the crowd as he rose and looked disdainfully at Zhu Pingan, a mockery on his face as he asked loudly and rhetorically, ”Has Scholar Lang never heard of Spring and Autumn Brushwork? What is the Spring and Autumn brushwork? It is also known as streamlining, which is also used in the Poetry and Scripture. What is streamlining, that is, its articles do not name names. Guan Ju” a text, do not have to use this technique, omitted the name of the king of Zhou Wen, is also to avoid the name of the monarch.”
Ma Huating used two points to hit back at Zhu Pingan. One is the Spring and Autumn Brushwork, although the Spring and Autumn Brushwork is famous because of Confucius, it was used by people before Confucius, and it was only named because Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals using this technique more often. Spring and Autumn brushwork is streamlining, you can streamline the names, but also streamline the views and opinions. The Guan Ju may have used the Spring and Autumn brushwork, streamlining the names of King Wen and Queen Zhou and replacing them with the names of the monarch and the lady.
Another is to avoid the name of the monarch. In feudal times, in order to show the majesty of the king or his honourable relatives, it was stipulated that people should avoid calling him by his name in speech or writing his name in writing, and replace it with other words. This is the case with Guan Ju, which avoids the names of King Wen and Queen Zhou and replaces them with the words “gentleman” and “lady”.
Spring and Autumn writing style, avoiding the monarch.
Heh.
What a good reason.
After Ma Huating finished, he looked at Zhu Pingan with a smug look, just like an overwhelming king.
“Right ah ……Ta-Jen Ma has a point.”
“Ta-Jen Ma’s high opinion. Spring and Autumn Penmanship, is not just streamlining, omitting the name of King Wen of Zhou, Queen of Zhou is also normal ah. In addition, avoiding the monarch’s taboo, now is this way, ancient times is also this way ah, that’s why ‘Guan Ju’ did not write the name of Zhou Wen Wang Ji Chang, Zhou Queen Tai Si ah.”
“Right, right, that’s it. Ta-Jen Ma is as discerning as a torch, he found the problem at once.”
Ma Hua Ting’s words were like a cloud plucking and enlightening, and after he finished speaking, everyone else also came to a realisation, as if they were waking up from a dream, and they all echoed with emotion.
“Guoliang is ashamed of himself, fortunately there is Ta-Jen Ma’s high opinion. After today’s lesson, if Ta-Jen Ma has the time, please also make tea together to discuss Guan Ju.”
Yang Guoliang made a serious long bow towards Ma Huating, inviting Ma Huating to make tea together to discuss Guan Ju after class.
“Lord Yang is concerned, Ma is a bystander.”Ma Huating smiled modestly.
After exchanging pleasantries with Ma Huating, Yang Guoliang turned his head to Zhu Pingan and said, “Lord Ma’s words are Yang Mou’s words.”
At this moment, Yang Guoliang feels clear, as if he has recovered from a serious illness, what cold sweat on the head, cold sweat on the palms of the hands, dizziness and so on, all swept away, the spirit of the spirit can not be any better, and the whole person is also restored to a great style.
“Zhu Ta-Jen thought how, in my answer, can still satisfied?”Ma Huating confidently looked towards Zhu Pingan.
“Nonetheless.”
Zhu Pingan slightly ticked the corner of his mouth and slowly shook his head.
“What? Non also?”
Yang Guoliang and Ma Huating were both shaken.
“Scholar Lang has to respect basic common sense, don’t use strong words.”Following that, Ma Huating looked at Zhu Pingan and slowly shook his head and sneered.
“Ping An is the reason why he is speaking wrongly because he respects basic common sense.”Zhu Pingan faintly replied back.
“Please enlighten me.”Ma Huating’s face darkened.
“It’s not possible to talk about giving advice, it’s just a sparring match.”Zhu Pingan smiled faintly, arched his hand towards Ma Huating and Yang Guoliang, and continued, “What Lord Ma said just now about ‘Guan Ju’ omitting the names of Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Queens with Spring and Autumn brushwork, please forgive Pingan for not agreeing with it. The Spring and Autumn style of writing is a microcosm of who, where, and what, a single word to cover it, but it does not omit the subject. Kong Sheng wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals in the Spring and Autumn brushwork style, never omitting the subject, such as ‘In March, the Duke and Zhu Zhu Yifu made an alliance in Defiance’, ‘In Spring, the Duke will meet the Rong in Qian’, and so on.”
“What about avoiding the monarch, what explanation do you give.”Ma Huating asked in a cold voice.
“‘Guan Ju’ shuns the monarch? This is even more nonsense. Avoiding the monarch is to avoid calling the monarch by his name. If it is avoiding King Wen of Zhou, it is avoiding the word ‘Ji Chang’, not the three words ‘King Wen of Zhou’. Moreover, there are two poems in the Classic of Poetry that say “King Wen”, one is “Daya – Daming” and the other is “Daya – Siqi”, which have phrases such as “King Wen was first loaded, and the sky was made for him” and “King Wen’s mother”.These two texts have sentences such as “King Wen was first loaded, and the sky was made for him” and “the mother of King Wen”, which are in black and white, and they really refer to King Wen. Oh yes, these two pieces are also poems that speak of the marriage of King Wen and Queen Zhou, Dr Yang grasped these two pieces, perhaps it is more appropriate to the theory of ‘the style of the king, the virtue of the consort’.”
Zhu Pingan pulled the corners of his mouth and slowly shook his head, slamming a solid hammer in Ma Huating’s face, and in the end, he even suggested that Yang Guoliang should frame the two Psalms of Daya – Daming and Daya – Siqi in a serious manner.
Solid heart, old iron!
“Cough cough ……”
Yang Guoliang coughed, a fishy sweetness in his throat.
Zhu Pingan’s serious look, in Yang Guoliang’s eyes, was not only piercing, but also damn solid ……
