Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 716 Hundreds of families on the lantern
"These paper lanterns all have writing on the surface."

At the same time, outside the Tang family's house, the atmosphere became more and more lively because of the lantern festival.

You must know that Dai County had a large population at this time, so the impact became larger.

Originally, the population of this county could not be said to be large, but because of Chen Zhi's previous publicity, people from surrounding counties gathered here.

These people who can be attracted here are all here because of the general outline of the general code. Most of them are literate and have a certain thirst for humanities classics. Of course, they also have a longing for strange things.

Under such circumstances, as soon as you discover the scenes on the streets, you will inevitably be inspired by literati feelings, and you will have all kinds of thoughts. Immediately after discovering the words on the lantern, you immediately became interested and rushed over.

"It's a somewhat familiar passage. This sentence seems to be talking about the three ancient generations."

"The lantern here says magic power, which is the content of Legalism."

"The lantern in front of me describes the sayings of Zhang Yi and Su Qin, which are the words of the Politician and Hengjia!"

"The best is like water, but its meaning is mysterious. This is the teaching of Taoism!"

"Taoist science? It seems to be the same here. Come and take a look."

"Hahahaha! Brother Li, you are mistaken. Your words seem to be describing the natural world, but in fact they are the way of gods. You are a Taoist sect or Taoist religion, which means five buckets of rice!"

"You... aren't you talking nonsense? How can you tell?"

"The sentence on the lantern here is enough to explain it. Look, it says, 'Excellent words, diligent pursuit, etc., all have their own meanings, etc...', isn't it referring to the Taoist way and the immortal way? ?”

But they said that as soon as these people discovered the words on the lantern, they felt as if they had discovered a new world. They couldn't wait to read it, and then rushed to analyze the words on it and which school they belonged to.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Jingsheng and others clicked their tongues for a while. They could feel that these people originally only came to watch the fun, but after reading the words on the lamp, they immediately became immersed in it, as if they had participated in the dinner.

"This group of people basically cannot enter the dinner palace." Lu Jian looked around and whispered, "Most of them are people who have come to the city to receive the general outline of the Tongdian these days."

"No wonder," Luo Yang immediately understood when he heard it, "I said why these people don't know how to restrain themselves. When they saw a sentence, they wanted to tell the whole world that they understood what it meant, but couldn't help but say it. The origins and sources of those articles and sentences are clearly lacking in background, and they are deliberately showing off, after all, the more lacking something, the more they want to reveal something."

"Brother Luo, you don't have the qualifications to say that," Wang Kuai joked, and after getting Luo Yang's angry gaze, he turned around and said, "However, the words and sentences on these lamps really cover everything. The few sentences you will see come from many classics, and they are divided into hundreds of schools. It is not a small project to write it out. Even if it is done in the palace, many masters and masters must be invited. I don't know how the Fujun made the preparations within a few days, or, this dinner has already been scheduled?"

"I'm afraid it's not what you think," Zhang Jingsheng shook his head and pointed to a lantern in front of him, "Look carefully at the words on it."

"What's wrong?" Wang Kuai and others were a little confused. They took a closer look, and Luo Yang directly read the sentence written above——

"The meaning of the characters in the scriptures is taken from the image to govern the thread. The longitudinal thread is light, and the horizontal thread is weft; the extension is the meaning of organization."

After reading it, the son of Luohou scratched his head and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

Lu Jian looked at it for a while and said, "I have never seen this statement in other classics, but it sounds like it is explaining what a 'scripture' is."

Wang Kuai took a quick look, nodded in agreement, and then pointed to a few lanterns on the side and said: "These lanterns are actually describing the same problem, but they are based on different viewpoints. For example, this one is talking about ancient people talking about The text is the scripture, but the other one means to say more. The so-called 'scripture' is the crystallization of wisdom summed up by the ancients after repeated debates." Obviously, compared to other children from poor families and down-and-out scholars who came here, Wang They have been educated in aristocratic families since they were young. In terms of knowledge and background, they are much higher than others, and their vision is even more precise. They can clearly explain the meanings on several lanterns in a few words.

Their behavior attracted the attention of several young people nearby. These people came closer quietly and listened silently, hoping to learn some useful insights.

Regarding the actions of these people, Zhang Jingsheng and others did not comment, but talked as if no one was around.

"What I want you to see is actually not the content on the lantern, but the handwriting, this calligraphy!"

As Zhang Jingsheng said these words, Wang Kuai and others beside him were all stunned for a moment, and then they subconsciously looked at the few lanterns around them, and suddenly discovered something.

"But the light behind the paper reflects the handwriting a little brightly, so that the calligraphy on the paper is ignored. This calligraphy... this calligraphy..." The more Wang Kuai looked at it, the more dumbfounded he looked.

"It's all done by one person!" Lu Jianze closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, "And this person's calligraphy is really amazing. I think there is only one person in the entire Dai County who can have such calligraphy skills. "

When Gu En heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

"It was Mr. Chen Fu who actually wrote these sentences himself?"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone shouting on the road——

"Paper and pens are sold! Paper and pens are sold! One piece of paper and one pen, only [-] yuan! The quantity is limited, so hurry up if you want to buy!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Gu En and others suddenly changed.

A piece of paper and a pen, that’s thirty dollars?It's not much different from robbing.

Everyone looked for the sound and saw several men who looked like merchants. They were panting and sweating on their heads. They were all carrying large packages. At this time, they were putting the packages on the ground and spreading them out. It's a lot of paper and pen.

But the paper was just ordinary hemp paper, and the pen wasn't necessarily a good one. The tip of the pen was so hairy that Zhang Jingsheng and others couldn't help but shake their heads at the sight of it.

"How can anyone be mentally retarded to buy such a thing?" Luo Yang said bluntly with contempt on his face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he received resentful looks from many people around him. Then these people took two steps forward and came to several merchants to bargain.

"Yours is too expensive. It's all blank linen paper, and it costs two or three cents. What's wrong?"

"That's it! Cheaper!"

"Hurry, the money is here, give me the things!"

This scene made Gu En, Luo Yang and others puzzled for a while.

Luo Yang couldn't help but said: "It's strange enough to suddenly sell paper here. Why are there people buying it openly?"
