The road to becoming a god of Chinese scholars

Wang Xianzhi was very interested in ancient characters, and Yu Juexiu learned a lot of ancient characters from him, and Zhonglan was one of them.

"Zhonglan Kingdom?" Professor Ding pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his tone full of astonishment, "Is there really such a country?"

On Professor Ding's left, the chubby Professor Guan looked at Yu Juexiu and asked, "How do you know this is the language of Zhonglan Kingdom?"

Standing on the right side of Professor Ding, Professor Du, who was somewhat short, had an expression of disbelief: "Isn't Zhonglan a legend?"

When Yu Juexiu heard what the three professors said, he understood why they looked at him in surprise.

"The Kingdom of Zhonglan really existed. It was a very small country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Its scale was about the size of seventy or eighty rural households." Yu Juexiu introduced in detail, "This country existed for a short time. ,It took about ten years from its establishment to its demise. Because the surname of the person who created this country was Lan, it was named Zhonglan.”

These words caused the expressions of the three professors to be shocked, pleasantly surprised, and suspicious. The reason why they were suspicious was that when they studied the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, they had not seen any documents that officially recorded the Zhonglan Kingdom.The reason why Zhonglan Kingdom is said to be a legend is because they once saw it in a letter from a scholar-official in Qi State. The scholar-bureaucrat said that Zhonglan Kingdom is an ideal country, where they can live freely and carefree.

Only the scholar-bureaucrat of Qi State mentioned Zhonglan in his letters, but after searching through the documents of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there was no such country as Zhonglan, so they believed that Zhonglan was an ideal country dreamed up by Qi's scholar-bureaucrats.

"During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, wars were frequent, and the people's lives were not peaceful. The king of Zhonglan Kingdom took his family and fled to a mountain where there was nothing to contend with. They originally wanted to build a place similar to Xanadu, but later because they came to seek refuge Their number has increased, so they simply call themselves the country." Yu Juexiu knew this from what his brother Wang Xianzhi said, "People in Zhonglan are self-sufficient, and their lives are pretty good. The king of Zhonglan thinks about them now It is a country that must have its own script, so it imitated oracle bone inscriptions and seal script to create Zhonglan script."

Professor Ding, the three of them, and Director Huang were all taken aback.

"The people of Zhonglan have no contact with the outside world, but their existence is still known by the people of Qi. At that time, there was a rumor that there was a treasure of gold in Zhonglan. The gold is for myself." Yu Juexiu said, "At the beginning, Qi State sent envoys to threaten and warn Zhonglan State, asking them to obediently teach the gold treasure, but Zhonglan State has no treasure and cannot hand it over. The people of Qi thought that they did not hand over on purpose, so they directly sent troops to kill all the people in Zhonglan overnight, and turned Zhonglan upside down, but they did not find the so-called gold treasure. The king of Qi was afraid that the news would spread Later, he set fire to the entire Zhonglan Kingdom because of his bad reputation, and warned everyone not to disclose the affairs of Zhonglan Kingdom, so there are very few records about Zhonglan Kingdom.”

After hearing Yu Juexiu's words, everyone in the audience looked shocked.

Professor Ding looked at Yu Juexiu with burning eyes, and asked curiously: "Comrade Xiaoyu, how did you know the existence of Zhonglan Kingdom?"

"I read it in a book." Although he heard it from Wang Xianzhi, his senior brother Wang Xianzhi had some records about Zhonglan Kingdom.

"Impossible. We searched through all the documents of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, but we couldn't find any records about the Zhonglan Kingdom. Where did you read it?"

"You just said that all the people in Zhonglan Kingdom were killed overnight, and they were also burned by fire. How could there be any records?"

Professor Ding and the three of them thought that what Yu Juexiu said was a bit ridiculous, without any basis at all.

Being questioned by the three professors, Yu Juexiu was not angry, and said calmly: "Although all the people in Zhonglan Kingdom have been killed, the people who were responsible for destroying Zhonglan Kingdom are still there. From the book, this At that time, Ren should be the striker responsible for destroying the Zhonglan Kingdom. He was deeply concerned about the Zhonglan Kingdom all his life, and wrote about the Zhonglan Kingdom when he was seriously ill, including his confession.”

"What book, what is the author's name?"

"There is no title, and the author's name is Shi Shan."

Professor Ding hurriedly asked: "Comrade Xiaoyu, do you have this book?"

Yu Juexiu nodded lightly: "Yes, there are many characters of Zhonglan Kingdom recorded at the back of this book, and each character has a corresponding seal script, so I can understand the characters on it."

Upon hearing this, Professor Ding and the other three professors couldn't sit still, and asked impatiently, "Where's the book? Can you lend it to us?"

"The book is in my hometown, Ningdu." Yu Juexiu touched his nose guiltily, "I read this book when I was in junior high school, and it is still a question of whether it is still there."

Curator Huang asked: "Xiaoyu, why do you have this book at home?"

Yu Juexiu apologized to his deceased grandfather in his heart, and lied without changing his face: "My grandfather found this book at a local farmer's house when he was sent to the lower levels."

"Why didn't your grandfather hand over such an important book to the country?" Professor Guan said very dissatisfied.If Yu Juexiu's grandfather had handed over the book recording the Zhonglan Kingdom to the country a few years earlier, they would have known about the existence of the Zhonglan Kingdom.

Yu Juexiu was choked by what he said, and after a while he said: "Grandpa's favorite hobby is collecting. He has liked to collect all kinds of things since he was young, so..." Grandpa, I'm sorry, let you Take the blame.

Professor Ding and Director Huang could understand the feelings of these folk collectors, so they didn't feel that Yu Juexiu's grandfather did something wrong like Professor Guan did.

"Comrade Xiaoyu, can I trouble you to go back to Ningdu and show us this book that records the history of Zhonglan Kingdom?" Professor Ding now knows that Zhonglan Kingdom is real, and he can't wait to fly to Ningdu now and take Which book did Yu Juexiu's grandfather collect.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it these days. I'm going to National TV tomorrow to give guidance on the rules and etiquette for Director Zhang's new drama." Yu Juexiu has a lot of things to do when he returns to the imperial capital this time. "If the three professors don't mind, I can translate all the characters on this leaf to you first, and return to Ningdu after I am done."

Professor Du said anxiously: "If you don't have time to go back to Ningdu, we can go to Ningdu."

Seeing the eagerness of the three professors, Yu Juexiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Three professors, it's not that I don't agree to let you go, but that you may not find them if you go. A few years ago, there was a fire in my house, and my grandfather's study It was burned that year, and many books, calligraphy and paintings in his collection were burned, and it is a question of whether this book recording Zhonglan Kingdom is still there." The fire in the study was true, and Yu Juexiu's grandfather fell asleep at the time I didn't notice that the cigarette butt thrown on the ground was still burning.At that time, there were many books and manuscript papers on the floor of the study, and they burned.Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and no disaster was caused.However, there were indeed a lot of books and manuscript paper missing at that time.

When Professor Ding and the others heard what Yu Juexiu said, they felt very disappointed.

"In a few days, I'll go back to Ningdu to look for this book, and if I find it, I'll give it to the three professors." It's a bad feeling to lie. If I had known it, he would have pretended not to know Zhonglanwen.

Professor Ding looked at Yu Juexiu solemnly: "I'm sorry, Comrade Xiaoyu, this book is very important to the history of our country." A major discovery.

"Professor Ding, don't worry, I will look for it carefully when I go back." When the time comes, enter the system and borrow this book from senior brother Wang Xianzhi.

"Thank you so much." Professor Ding said with a smile, "I would also like to ask you to translate the words on the back."

"Ok."

The restorer gently turned the leaf over, and the back was still full of words.

There are a few words on the back that are very vague. Yu Juexiu is not sure what is written, but he guessed based on the words on the front and the back: "It is two sentences in the Book of Songs. Out of its east gate, there are women like clouds. Yun, bandit I think about it."

Suddenly, I found that there were two words at the bottom of the leaves.

"Lu Peng." It should be the author who wrote these few sentences.

Professor Ding and the other three professors wore white gloves and followed what Yu Juexiu said just now, observing word by word.

"Hearing what Comrade Xiaoyu said, I found that the characters on the leaves really resemble each other." According to the characters read out by Yu Juexiu and compared with the characters on the leaves one by one, each character is quite similar.

"The characters of Zhonglan Kingdom were created by combining oracle bone inscriptions and seal characters, so they are easy to recognize." Even if he didn't know the characters on it, he could still guess them.

Next, Professor Ding and the other three professors took Yu Juexiu to chat about the matter of Zhonglan Kingdom.To be precise, they asked Yu Juexiu about everything about Zhonglan Kingdom, such as the basic necessities of life, customs, history and culture of Zhonglan people.

Yu Juexiu told Professor Ding and the three of them everything he knew about Zhonglan Kingdom.

When the Palace Museum got off work, Professor Ding and the three of them let Yu Juexiu go.However, before leaving, he pulled Yu Juexiu and repeatedly told him to find the book.

After saying goodbye to Director Huang, Yu Juexiu returned to his and Fu Jueheng's home.

The staff of the Palace Museum posted the video of Yu Juexiu's donated copy of the map of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains on the official blog, which caused quite a stir.

[I'm going, brother Xiaoyu donated the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains he copied to the Forbidden City, this is a great operation! 】

[That is to say, the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains copied by brother Xiaoyu will become a substitute for the original painting and unfold in the Forbidden City. Am I right? 】

[Yes, that's what it means. 】

[No, why did Xiaoyu brother copy the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains to be exhibited as a substitute?In other words, can the substitutes be exhibited in place of the real ones? 】

[Of course, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation. It is impossible to exhibit it all the time, otherwise it will damage the original painting.Before, there was a replica of the map of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains on display. 】

[Ancient paintings are too fragile. It can be said that there is a risk of injury every time they are exhibited. Therefore, many ancient paintings have replicas copied by modern masters. These replicas are displayed instead of the original paintings. Many people know about these famous paintings handed down from generation to generation. 】

[Not only ancient paintings, but also many ancient calligraphy works have replicas. 】

[There are also many antiques that have replicas. 】

[The display of replicas instead of the real ones is actually to better protect the real ones. After all, these real ones are too expensive and difficult to preserve.In order for our future generations to see these handed down treasures, these treasures must be well preserved and protected. 】

[The picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains copied by brother Xiaoyu is not inferior to the original painting, so it's okay to exhibit it instead of the original owner.Besides, when exhibiting, it will be marked in detail that this is a copied work, not an original painting. 】

[Is it on display starting tomorrow? I will make an appointment online now, and tomorrow I will go to the Forbidden City to see the map of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains copied by brother Xiaoyu. 】

【I'll go as well. 】

【Can I say that after seeing this news, our professor has asked us to organize a group to go to the Forbidden City tomorrow to see the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains copied by Brother Xiaoyu. 】

[Hahahahaha, so are we.Our professor not only wants us to watch, but also wants us to feel it well. It is estimated that after watching it, the professor will let us talk about our impressions. 】

Regarding the fact that Yu Juexiu's copy of the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains will be exhibited tomorrow instead of the original painting, there has been heated discussion on the Internet.

Netizens have said that only Yu Juexiu has the ability to let his copied works be exhibited instead of the real ones.This is the dream of many Chinese painting students, or Chinese painting masters.

Regarding the fact that Yu Juexiu's painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains was exhibited as a replica of the original owner, all those who study Chinese painting are convinced and have no opinion, even the notorious sunspots on the Internet dare not say anything.

Just kidding, when Yu Juexiu copied the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains and won the national style competition, almost all famous Chinese painting masters in China came forward to praise Yu Juexiu's painting.They also praised Yu Juexiu's level as a master, not inferior to them at all.

Heizi or keyboard warriors would not dare to disagree with all the famous Chinese painting masters no matter how hard they try to find fault.Besides, Yu Juexiu is now a well-known mathematician at home and abroad, and he is not allowed to be slandered at will.

Yu Juexiu, who was discussed by netizens, was struggling with one thing, whether to donate the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" given to him by Wang Xizhi to the Palace Museum.

"Brother, if I donate the "Preface to Lanting Collection" given to me by my husband to the Palace Museum, will my husband be angry?" After all, this is an adult gift from my husband.

Wang Xianzhi chuckled: "Father won't be angry, besides, no matter how good you are, let more people see father's "Preface to Lanting Collection."

Yu Juexiu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I feel a little reluctant." This is the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" written by Wang Xizhi himself. After it was sent to the Palace Museum, he lost it.

Wang Xianzhi was amused by Yu Juexiu's words: "Little brother, father can write another copy of "Lanting Collection Preface" for you."

Hearing this sentence, Yu Juexiu reacted belatedly after the meal, raised his hand and patted his forehead: "Yes, you can still ask me to write another copy of "Lanting Collection Preface" for me." Wang Xizhi It has been in the system. If he wants any calligraphy works in the future, he can ask his husband to give him another gift.

Wang Xianzhi shook his head with a broken smile: "Don't worry about it now?"

"Don't worry about it anymore." Yu Juexiu remembered that he still had something to look for Wang Xianzhi, "By the way, brother, about the matter of Zhonglan Kingdom..."

Yu Juexiu told Wang Xianzhi what happened in the Forbidden City today, and asked him to borrow the book.

"Okay, you can give them directly when the time comes."

"Brother, don't you just lose it?"

Wang Xianzhi looked at Yu Juexiu helplessly: "Little brother, there is everything in the system. Even if you give them that book, I can ask the system to make another copy for me."

When Yu Juexiu heard this, he was taken aback: "The system still has this function?"

"Of course, otherwise, where do you think these things come from in the system?"

Yu Juexiu: "..." He was wrong, he shouldn't underestimate the system, this system is simply against the sky.

"Besides, there are people from Zhonglan Kingdom in the system."

This sentence made Yu Juexiu almost choke to death on his own saliva, and he coughed for a long time before recovering: "Is there someone from Zhonglan Kingdom in the system?"

Wang Xianzhi nodded slightly: "Yes."

Yu Juexiu: "!!!!!!" He thought that the system only collected famous people in history, but he didn't expect that the system would also collect some ordinary people.

Wang Xianzhi thought for a while and said: "The famous and mysterious Loulan in modern times exists in the system."

Yu Juexiu: "..." So, have you collected all the countries that have existed in history?

Seeing Yu Juexiu's stunned look, Wang Xianzhi said amusedly, "There are many things in the system that you can't imagine."

Yu Juexiu came back to his senses, and said with a dull face, "I'm narrow-minded."

The Jinjiang system popped up suddenly: [Hahahahaha, host, now you finally know how cute Ben is. 】

Yu Juexiu: "..." His shock just now was instantly destroyed by the stupid image of the Jinjiang system.

The Jinjiang system said proudly: [As long as there are things that have existed in history, I have collected them all. Zhonglan Kingdom and Loulan are just a drop in the bucket. 】

Yu Juexiu said blankly: "You are amazing!"

The Jinjiang system was very proud: [Host, have you fallen under this lovely pomegranate skirt? 】

Yu Juexiu: "Take back what I just said, you are mentally retarded."

The Jinjiang system exploded: [Host! ! ! ! ! 】

Yu Juexiu chose to block the Jinjiang system in time, otherwise his ears would definitely be deaf.

After finishing the business with Wang Xianzhi, Yu Juexiu began to practice calligraphy.Although his current calligraphy is praised by many people as a master work in reality, it is still so-so in front of Wang Xianzhi, and he still has a lot to learn.

He thought that he must create his own unique calligraphy in the future, so as to be worthy of Wang Xianzhi's careful teaching, after all, the senior brother also created his own calligraphy at the beginning.

After practicing calligraphy, Yu Juexiu was called away by Gongsun Chou.

"Little brother, you have finished studying all the masterpieces of Confucianism, and the next step is the assessment."

Yu Juexiu nodded slightly: "Brother, I know." He has learned all the classic masterpieces of Confucianism, and he will face an extremely abnormal assessment next.He had a hunch that it would definitely be more demanding than the previous few assessments.

"This time, if you pass all the tests with excellent grades, you can go to see Mr.

When Yu Juexiu heard this, his eyes became sparkling and his expression became excited: "Don't worry, brother, I will work hard!"

"I believe you can do it, Junior Brother." Gongsun Chou said with a smile, "Sir, I am looking forward to meeting you."

This said that Diyu Juexiu's blood was boiling with enthusiasm, and his whole body was full of energy.

"I will never let you down."

"In this case, all assessments will start tomorrow."

After passing the Confucianism assessment, Yu Juexiu can officially become a disciple of Confucius and Mencius. At that time, besides listening to Confucius and Mencius' lectures every day, he can also be taught by Confucius and Mencius himself.

After finishing his Confucianism studies, Yu Juexiu had to learn the knowledge of several other schools of thought.Among them, he is most interested in psychology.He asked Senior Brother Gongsun that the person who taught him the knowledge of the mind was the famous Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yangming is a legendary figure in history, especially against the sky.When Yu Juexiu thought of studying with him, his heart was filled with anticipation.
