Chapter 304
Poetry meetings are often held in Tokyo, especially on various festivals. Poetry meetings are a must-have program.

Among them, the Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival are the most popular, and there are no fewer than seven or eight festivals in the city.

Most of the poetry gatherings are open and held in the open air. Anyone who is confident in his literary skills can go to participate. It is the best way for scholars to make a name for themselves.

Poetry gatherings are generally held in front of a government department or school, and the government department school participates in the organization and is responsible for maintaining order.

The common places for poetry gatherings in Tokyo are in front of Shangshu Shengmen, Mingliyuan, Qingxin Building, Ritual Department, and Taixue.

The most peculiar thing is that there is also a poetry club in front of the martial arts gate.

In the third year of Qingli in the Song Dynasty, a martial arts school was established in the Wuchengwang Temple. This is the first martial arts school since ancient times, and it is probably the first martial arts school in the whole world.

But this martial arts school only existed for more than [-] days at the beginning, and it was declared closed. It was really because it was not attractive, and no one was willing to enroll as a martial arts student.

Later, Wang Anshi reformed the law, and in the fifth year of Xining, he restored martial arts to the Wucheng Wang Temple. Wang Daxianggong proposed "seeking specialization, as well as civil and martial arts", and took the seven military books before Tang Dynasty called "Seven Books of Martial Arts" as the main teaching materials. There are also officials such as doctors of martial arts who train and lure scholars with the art of bow and horse martial arts.

In the fifth year of Chunxi, the military academy members were set up again. In the fifth year of Qingyuan, Zhuzhou Zhouxue followed suit and set up samurai houses. Officials were selected according to the students' martial arts skills. There is Tokyo martial arts preserved.

Wuxue and Taixue are only separated by the imperial street of the outer city, but the situation is quite different.

There are not many martial arts students, even less than [-]% of Taixue, and they are always looked down upon by Taixue students on weekdays, even the people in Tokyo City do not take martial arts students seriously.

After all, even if he passed the martial arts test, he would at most be a low-level official in the army, and his treatment and status could not be compared with that of a civil servant. Not to mention, if he encountered a war, he might lose his life.

It's just that although martial arts is half-dead, it seems to be a rivalry every year on festivals, and they also join in the fun and hold poetry meetings.

However, those who went to the Wuxuemen to participate in the poetry meeting, apart from their own students over the years, were only some military people who liked to say a few words on weekdays.

If you want to go to the poetry meeting, you have to choose a place. Zhao Fu and Zhao Fujin discussed going to the gate of Taixue.

After all, there are more young people here in Taixue, unlike Shangshusheng, there are some bearded old Ming passing by at every turn to show off his knowledge, and his poems are obviously not very good, but he can't bear to criticize them, not through drinking at home. Drinking two or three ounces of shochu, blowing his beard and staring at him, just crying and complaining about the hardships of the imperial examinations, which made the atmosphere of the poetry meeting completely lacking.

Besides Taixue students, most of them are students from other schools, including Guozixue students, who also come here to join in the fun.

Taixue was originally integrated with the Imperial College of the Ministry of Rites. During the Qingli New Deal, Taixue was separated from the Imperial College, but it still belongs to the Imperial College.

Guozixue is also affiliated to Guozijian. The difference between the two is probably that Guozixue only accepts the children of officials above the seventh rank in Beijing, while Taixue can accept ordinary people.

Therefore, Taixue has a larger scale, with about a few thousand people, while Guozixue has only about 200 people.

Although Taixue implements the Sanshe method, everyone is not far away. After all, none of them have entered the official career, so they can let go and express their feelings, and the atmosphere is the best.

Zhou Chu drove the carriage all the way out of Suzaku Gate and went straight to Taixue.

Zhao Tun was peeling and eating fruit in the car, and the siblings opposite looked at him with warm eyes.

Zhao Tun's current position in the literary world is already at the pinnacle. Although there are a few people who can compete with him in poetry and articles, such as Li Qingzhao, Zhou Bangyan, Ye Mengde, Zhu Dunru and others, but in terms of age Years old, who is not older, he is at least a dozen or 20 years old.

He is also the number one romantic talent in the world that the Emperor Daojun personally said, so he has the tendency to overwhelm everyone.

But those few were naturally dissatisfied. After all, Zhao Tun's royal status had become a shackle in the literary world, and it became a disadvantage for these literary enemies to attack him.

Probably, if it wasn't the prince, who would say hello, the most romantic talent in the world is said by the officials, and the officials are your father, so there is no reason not to praise your son.

In short, criticism in the literary world is a war without gunpowder, and the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty are just like this. No matter what prince or prince you are, if you want to overwhelm a generation and become a generation of Wenzong, you have to bear it, and you have to be able to take out that snowflake as big as a plate. Only when the things that weigh on the top of Mount Tai come out, so that others have no power to fight back, will they stop, and even turn around to praise you and admire you.

Although Zhao Tong's current poems and articles are prosperous and beautiful, they are not enough to overwhelm a generation, and they are still not ready.

But to deal with this kind of poetry meeting in front of me, it's an overkill.

Zhao Tang knew what the siblings were thinking, but with his current status, it was not easy for him to get involved.

Although he is young, and there are many people in their 40s and [-]s in the imperial academy, even the imperial student Chen Dong, who is famous for asking the six thieves to be punished by later generations, is actually in his thirties now.

But his status as a scholar in the literary world is there. The literati in the Song Dynasty have never judged their shortcomings based on their age, so he did not end well.

Zhao Tang ignored the eyes of the siblings, just ate the fruit, Zhao Fu opened his mouth several times but did not say anything, Zhao Fujin seemed to see what he was thinking, and his expression was slightly lost.

At this time, the sound outside gradually became lively, and the silk and bamboo orchestra could be faintly heard, and after a while, there was a turmoil of people, and there was even more movement of chanting.

Zhou Chu stopped the carriage at this moment, rushed into the carriage and said, "My lord, you have learned a lot."

Zhao Tong lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, only to see the lights in front of the Taixue gate were brightly lit, and the bright moon in the sky was like a mirror, illuminating this place as if it were daytime.

In front of the main entrance of the Taixue, a huge colorful shed was actually set up, not only full of professors, but also musicians of all kinds. Obviously, when they encountered good poems, they would start to sing on the spot.

And outside the colorful shed is already a sea of ​​people, most of them are students of Taixue and students from other schools.

However, although there are many people at the moment, they are in order, and there is even a small path leading to the flower terrace.

When the three of them got out of the car, Zhao Fu squeezed forward. He didn't take that aisle, but he knew that it was reserved for those who came to the stage to compose poems, so he lowered his head and rushed into the crowd, squeezing the students who were watching. "Ouch, ouch" kept yelling.

These students obey the rules because they obey the rules, but they are not all good tempered, and some want to get angry, but at Zhao Fu's age, there is really no way to get angry, after all, he looks like a child at first glance, so he has to take some public demeanor into account.

Zhao Fen opened the way ahead, and not long after, both Zhao Tun and Zhao Fujin came to the flower platform, and saw that a lot of red paper had been pasted on the pillar walls on both sides of the flower platform. Go up to show the glory.

The poems written this night are naturally related to Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion, and the moon. Zhao Tang looked up and saw that there were hundreds of poems.
