Chapter 93 what is he trying to do

Guiyou (1693) in the 32nd year of Kangxi. This later genius was born in a scholar's family in Wujiang, Jiangsu. Four years later, I felt that I was really not good at flattery, so I went home due to illness. At the age of Guiwei, Emperor Kangxi made two tours to the south and issued edicts to let him return to his post, but he refused because of his old illness. A well-known rhetorician, excellent in poetry and painting.It was this grandfather who did not know what kind of inspiration came from, and named Xu Lingtai Xu Dachun, with the word Lingtai. It is said that the word Lingtai comes from Taoism and is a term for practicing inner alchemy, but Xu Lingtai himself Said to be related to Buddhism.Later, because Emperor Qianlong used the name Xu Lingtai in the edict calling Xu Lingtai to Beijing, in order to show respect for the emperor, he changed the name to Lingtai.

In short, although the name is weird, it is extremely accurate. Obviously, this student Xu Lingtai developed according to the idea of ​​this name, so parents who just gave birth to a baby can refer to it. Then introduce the parents of student Xu Lingtai. His father is Xu Yanghao. He is more interested in water conservancy projects. He was once hired to edit "Wuzhong Water Conservancy Chronicle". Relatively unpopular major. When Xu Lingtai went to school, like everyone else, he started studying in a private school, and his school age was about the same. He entered a private school at the age of seven.

How did Xu Lingtai perform in the private school?In order to let everyone understand this secret history, our program team specially interviewed his private school teacher to give you an exclusive revelation. Private school teacher: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. As for this student, I felt that he was a little different at the time. The specific performance was that he was unwilling to follow the crowd and liked to think independently. As for his academic performance, it was very average. He could only recite A few lines of text, and the biggest feature is that it seems to be remembered faster (it is still forgetful).”

Okay, thanks to the private school teacher for breaking the news. It seems that there is nothing special about Mr. Xu at this time. Let us continue to observe in the future. Thanks to the reporters ahead, let's turn back to the studio. By the way, with the growth of age, it seems that it is time to consider the way of the imperial examination, which is also the expectation of the Xu family, so Xu Lingtai started to study stereotyped essays when he was fourteen years old, and this time he studied well. It was still at the top of the list, so Xu Lingtai's enthusiasm came, and he found the teacher at the beginning, and asked: "Teacher, who is the best writer of the stereotyped essay we have learned?"

The teacher replied proudly: "Some former sages of our Qing Dynasty wrote that is the best." Xu Lingtai asked innocently again: "Then how many years will I be able to catch up with their level?" The teacher's answer was also very encouraging: "You should be ready after a few years of study." (It seems that the teacher is very satisfied with Xu Lingtai's intelligence level) Xu Lingtai was a little dizzy from the teacher's encouragement, and the question asked next was a bit out of line. He asked: "After those few years, will I stop studying?"

Hey!The teacher saw that this child was endless, and I really had to block him, so he replied: "Then you have to study Confucian classics, and there is no end to learning Confucian classics." Unexpectedly, student Xu Lingtai became more enthusiastic: "Teacher, which of the scriptures is the most difficult to learn?" The teacher looked at the student who was becoming more and more arrogant, and had no choice but to answer: "It is the first of all the scriptures, and of course it is the most difficult to learn!" Xu Lingtai said very seriously: "Okay, then I will start researching!"

Then leave behind the already dizzy teacher and leave. But he didn't finish his mouth addiction. He started to act. Fortunately, there was no shortage of Xu family books. Soon, Xu Lingtai brought out a large pile of annotated books and put them on his desk. , and then, like a graduate student, start writing a dissertation on . This classmate is really unusual, and I don’t know who taught him this set of learning methods, the effect is surprisingly good, please pay attention to the judges who have children and the judges who are studying hard, I want I will talk about Xu Lingtai's learning method later. Its power is indescribable. If you understand it, how can you know that it is not you who will win the toad palace in the future?

Let's watch with our eyes wide open. Xu Lingtai's jaw-dropping performance has begun. When he had almost comprehended it, the teenage student Xu Lingtai began to have a strong interest in Lao Tzu. This time, he didn’t need to ask the teacher, he could do it by himself, so he found relevant annotations from various schools. , Start researching, and if you have any questions that you don’t understand, you can read this comment, and then look at that comment.But it doesn't matter if you look at it this way, he decided to start annotating by himself. Oh my god, everyone, see clearly, our classmate Xu Lingtai started writing books by himself when he was a teenager.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry. He wrote a little bit every day, and wrote a little bit every day. This book has been written for twenty years, and then it was published and included in "Siku Quanshu". The "Summary of Siku Quanshu" commented: "Its exegesis seeks out ancient meanings, and chooses those that connect up and down; its interpretation is mainly concise and concise... It is still a rare book in the annotations of "Laozi." Don't get me wrong, don't think that he hasn't done anything in the past 20 years, just commenting here, if so, then he is not a genius.

When he was 18 years old, his father said to him: Don’t just focus on liberal arts, but study science and engineering. I think hydraulic engineering is a good major. You can study it. Xu Lingtai had a lot of energy and didn't know where to use it. After hearing what his father said, he hurriedly asked, "What's the use of water conservancy projects?" Father Xu: "Of course it is useful. Water conservancy projects can irrigate more farmland and prevent floods. It is of great use!" Xu Lingtai is very happy, it turns out that the water conservancy project is so useful!So I brought a pile of books on water conservancy engineering, started to read them madly, and then wrote papers on water conservancy engineering. ).

At the age of twenty, Xian Xiang entered Pan to make up for all students.It was at this time that I suddenly became interested in martial arts (probably because I secretly read martial arts novels at night), and my body was weak, so I began to learn martial arts from a teacher. After two years, I practiced martial arts and mastered Sanda proficiently. The method of martial arts of mother and son with spear and stick.I also tried to practice weightlifting. I started lifting light objects and increased it every day. Later, I was able to lift three hundred catties of boulders.There was no Olympic Games at that time, otherwise Xu Lingtai would probably come to try weightlifting. Also at the age of twenty, it took another half a year to study astronomy systematically. The learning method was also to bring astronomical works since the Han and Jin Dynasties, and search for stars while studying, so people in the Xu family often It was found that Xu Lingtai's eyes began to shine at night, and he ran to the courtyard with a book, and began to look for stars in the sky according to the book. Don’t think that Xu Lingtai can just find the stars, that kind of level is too low-level (of course, astronomy enthusiasts who are not a certain level can basically not do it at this level), he also verified the operation status of each star, "Longitude travel times", that is to say, really and systematically studied the operation of celestial bodies. This is how the legendary Kung Fu of "watching the sky at night" has been practiced!
