Chapter 56 Realm
PS: I did not explain please, please forgive me.People in the Tang Dynasty called themselves ministers to members of the royal family and even the emperor himself, and called themselves XX, servant and me to ministers, and eunuchs called themselves slaves when they saw their masters.As for the tea ceremony painted by Wang, it is a later mature tea ceremony, which is different from the mainstream tea ceremony in the Tang Dynasty. There are many kinds of tea ceremony, not necessarily in the mainstream tea ceremony.Even what kind of tea goes with what kind of tea ceremony is also particular.Even water and tea sets, firework, etc.More will be introduced later.In addition to the tea ceremony, there are other elegant things that Xiao Huahua will play out slowly.

Even if you don't watch the World Cup, this promise will be fulfilled.The following is about to enter the first small climax of the book.

This issue involves too many aspects, and it is the reform of ancient prose.In fact, Wang Bo and others proposed it very early, but they still used parallel prose. It was not until Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan that this huge literary reform event officially kicked off. At that time, Han and Liu had a huge influence in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty. There are also Li Ao, Li Han and other students to help them advocate.That's how it was, and it was ridiculed and criticized by many people in the world.Even in the Song Dynasty, some people continued to criticize the ancient Chinese. In his article "Preface to Li An's Second Life", Zeng Gong deliberately talked about this matter.

In fact, after the news of Wang Hua's dispute with Wang Shu in Hanlinzhai spread, some people still agreed with Wang Shu's views.Perhaps Wang Hua's poems are well written, but this kind of essay is not very good, although it has a clear theme and clear arguments.

But that's it, Han and Liu didn't reverse the situation.Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, Pi Rixiu, Lu Guimeng, Luo Yin and others also wrote some articles in ancient style, but their influence was not great.So in the Five Dynasties, parallel prose flourished again.Former Shu Niu Xiji once pointed out in his "On Articles": At that time, the articles "forgot the way of enlightenment, and won with coquettishness".

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Wang Yucheng and Liu Kai began to advocate ancient prose again, but the two fought alone, and the effect was not satisfactory.Especially when it came to Song Zhenzong, led by Yang Yi and Liu Yun, the trend of formalism in pursuit of beautiful rhythm swept the literary world at that time.Later, when Shi Jie came out, he began to criticize Yang Yi's flamboyance, but Shi Jie's own achievements and status were destined to not be ideal.

Until another literary master, Ouyang Xiu, relied on his political status and influence in the literary world, he opened the clarion call for the reform of ancient prose. Not only he alone, but also his peer Su Xun, students Su Shi, Su Zhe, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Su Shi's disciples There are also Huang Tingjian, Chen Shidao, Zhang Lei, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi and others who are all experts in ancient prose, which made the ancient prose movement reach a magnificent stage.Later, the efforts of Song Lian, Tang Shunzhi, Wang Shenzhong, Gui Youguang, etc. in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Tongcheng School and Yanghu School in the Qing Dynasty, officially made people recognize that ancient prose was higher than parallel prose because of its practicality.

This is how many years of hard work, and among them, Han Su and others are all literary giants in Chinese history!
But who is Wang Hua? Don't think that he has received two words of praise from Wu Zetian, but in his heart he is a 13-year-old boy with no name or status.If you want to launch the ancient prose movement, you simply want to bring the Tang Dynasty into communism.

But Wang Hua didn't directly criticize the parallel prose. He asked: "Everyone, do you remember the three lacquer boxes made by the boy?"

Lao Du, He Zhizhang, Li Longji, and Princess Yuzhen have all seen each other. As for Liu Youqiu, he has only heard about it. Now that the three lacquer boxes have entered the palace, he is not yet qualified to enter the palace to see them.But the others nodded their heads.

"So have you ever seen what ornamentation I used?"

Except for the second lacquer box, Wang Hua's three lacquer boxes really haven't used any decorations.

"On the pattern of utensils, engraving decorations can make the pattern more layered. But this is just the end, and the meaning expressed by the pattern is the theme. If there are too many decorations, the theme of the pattern will be covered. It will be superfluous."

For example, the same one is the enamel color bowl produced in the Yongzheng period. The auction price of the peony pattern bowl with four seasons inside and outside has reached RMB 700 million, while the brocade pattern bowl with hundreds of flowers of similar size is only RMB 10,000+.In terms of painting skills, the latter is several times more than the former, because the decoration of the latter is cumbersome, making the theme of the latter less clear than the former.In the end, the prices differed by ten times.

If Wang Hua played on the three lacquer boxes like the enamel-colored brocade-patterned bowls, embellishing countless patterns, not to mention the time and cost, maybe because the theme is not clear, it will not cause a sensational result in the end.

After listening to Wang Hua's words, several people fell into deep thought together.Wang Hua also said: "Parallel prose tends to be in antithesis, rhythm, allusion, and rhetoric. Of course it becomes gorgeous because of this, but also because of this, it may become flashy and unrealistic, which is not conducive to practicality. On the contrary, ancient prose is mainly composed of single sentences in scattered lines. , Simple and free, it is more conducive to expressing one's own thoughts. But maybe it is the kid who has lost his knowledge, so he came up with this reason to find an excuse for himself."

Anyway, I don’t want to do what Han Yu wants to do. It’s too troublesome. It’s not interesting to fight with a large group of literati all day long. Let Han Yu finish it after waiting 100 years.

Wang Hua didn't know that Wang Bo was not the one who initiated this statement.As early as in the Western Wei Dynasty, Su Chuo had imitated Shangshu to write "Dagao", advocating Shang and Zhou ancient prose to reform the style, but it didn't work.Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty issued an edict to prohibit "Wenbiao Huayan", and Li Er wrote a letter to ask Wenhua to be reformed, but none of them reversed the trend.

This topic is too big, and Lao Du thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, but when faced with this topic, he dare not make a sound.Anyway, he came here today, which opened his eyes, but it also made him depressed continuously.

Wang Hua also said: "I personally think that no matter whether it is parallel prose or ancient prose, it is just like the current poetry. Poetry, there are also verses and quatrains. Just because you like seven-character poems, you can’t say that five-character poems are bad. Just because you like regulated poems, you can’t say that ancient style poems are not good. In fact, the quality of poetry depends on the poetry itself. The same is true for articles. In the mind of the boy As for the quality of an article, I don't use parallel ancients to distinguish the content of the article, but the kid privately uses three realms to compare the content of the article."

"Please speak," said Li Longji.

In any case, it was very worthwhile to come here this time today. I read many words that I hadn't seen before, and heard many truths that I hadn't heard before.Even Li Longji himself sighed, why did he miss that opportunity at Qizhenxuan.If I extended a helping hand at that time, I think this young man would be very grateful to me.Unlike now, although the attitude is very polite, it is clear that there is a kind of indifference in the politeness.

"The first level can be described in one sentence. The westerly wind withered the green trees last night. I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world. The second level can also be described in one sentence. The belt is getting wider and I don’t regret it. It’s for Yi Xiao. The person is haggard. The third layer is that people look for him thousands of times, and suddenly look back, but the person is in a dimly lit place."

"Can you explain it in detail," Lao Du finally put down his airs and asked after hearing some meaning.

"The first meaning is like the roads in this world. There are tens of thousands of roads, some are mountain roads, some are waterways, some are Pingyang Avenues, and some are rugged trails, but which one is suitable for you to walk on? The same is true for the article. For example, some people Write generously, and some people write beautifully, but it is impossible to write every style by yourself. From learning articles, to writing articles, to starting to reflect on the direction that suits you, this has entered the first level. But To find your own direction, you need to keep learning and improving. This is a process of persistent pursuit, and this is the second state. The third state is that in the process of searching, you finally find your goal. It turns out that the person Just stand where you stand. Only then can it be called a great achievement. When you write at your fingertips, they are all articles, and if you write them casually, they are all wonderful essays. Or to explain in other words, a mountain is a mountain, a mountain is not a mountain, and a mountain is a mountain .”

This comes from the Zen master Qingyuan Xingsi of the Song Dynasty who proposed the triple realm of meditation, and these few people have also never heard of it.He Zhizhang stretched out his hand and said, "Please tell me."

Although Wang Hua was young, after this interaction, even He Zhizhang was impressed by him.He said these two words in a respectful tone.

"In the beginning, because of ignorance, I didn't think about things. Mountains are mountains, and water is water. People use parallel prose, and I also use parallel prose. If others use ancient prose, it is wrong. This is the state at the beginning. But after thinking about it, Why is a mountain a mountain? Water can’t be called a mountain? Just like the article, why parallel prose must be good, I started to reflect on it, and had doubts, so I saw that a mountain is not a mountain. Finally, after a thorough enlightenment, I realized that a mountain is still a mountain, just like Articles are the same, no matter whether they are parallel prose or ancient prose, as long as they are written well, the meaning expressed can be clearly conveyed to others, and people can enjoy a kind of beauty, this is the last realm.”

After hearing such wonderful words, several people forgot to drink tea and thought deeply together again.

But there was one exception, the little girl Pianzi was rolling her eyes, and she didn't know what wrong idea she was going to make.
