Chapter 24 Lou Liang

On the wedding night, Wang Shouren made a strange disappearance. There is no record in the history books whether the bride had any opinions on him, and he probably dared not raise them if she had opinions—he would disappear if he didn’t raise opinions. If you simply come to the world to evaporate, wouldn't the bride be miserable? Therefore, Wang Shouren's married life is still harmonious and full of thrushes.According to history books, Wang Shouren's main life achievement during this period was practicing calligraphy, and summed up a series of laws and experiences.Practicing calligraphy diligently during the honeymoon, it is obvious that Wang Shouren did not attach much importance to the bride, but it is also possible that he used calligraphy to cover up his happy honeymoon life. There is a lack of information on this, so it is difficult to say more.

After the first year of their wedding, Wang Shouren took his wife on the road back to his hometown of Yuyao.Taking a boat to Guangxin, he visited an important eccentric in Chinese history.How strange is this person? In the seventh year of Yingzong Tianshun, that is, in 1463 A.D., this man went to Beijing by boat to rush for the exam, but suddenly returned when he walked to Hangzhou.People asked why, and he replied: "I can't go this time. If I go, not only will I not pass the exam, but there will be a catastrophe." Hearing what he said seriously, don't be afraid that you will be ashamed to enter the examination room because you are not knowledgeable enough, right?

It is not that he is not knowledgeable enough, but that his knowledge is too high.In this year, a fire suddenly broke out in the Gongyuan where the examination would take place. The candidates were burnt to the ground, wailing loudly, and burned to death and injured countless people.Only this person had the foresight and escaped.The explanation of the great Confucian Huang Zongxi is that this person has been quiet and clear for a long time, and after a long period of quietness in his heart, he will naturally produce supernatural powers of foresight. It turns out that this person has superpowers... But there is something more bizarre than superpowers.This person once went to Gusu by boat. There is a scenic Hanshan Temple in Gusu. Zhang Ji of the Tang Dynasty wrote a famous poem that has been passed down through the ages:

The moon falls and the sky is filled with black crows and frost, Jiang Feng Yuhuo confronts Mianmian.Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the midnight bells to the passenger ship. This poem is widely rumored, and all the guests have to recite this poem when they arrive in Gusu to show that they are very knowledgeable.But when this man arrived in Gusu, what he chanted was different from others. What he chanted was: The moon falls, the sky is full of frost, and the sky is full of frost. I rise up alone to astrology and sleepless nights. Listening to this poem, it is quite flat and rhymes.But what does it mean to "lonely astrology and sleepless nights"?

The person explained: This is the case, because my knowledge is too great and my level is too high, so high that it is earth-shattering. Even my every move is followed by the stars in the sky. Even when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, the sky There is a row of stars following closely behind my buttocks.So the meaning of this poem is: Once I do something, the stars in the sky will not be safe. God, even when I went to the bathroom, there was a row of stars behind my butt... Who is this? This person... Not many people know him now, but at that time, he was a well-known scholar in the world.This person's surname is Lou, first name is Liang, style name is Kezhen, and name is Yizhai. He is from Guangxin Shangrao.When he was young, Lou Liang devoted himself to the study of sages, so he broke through his iron shoes, traveled thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights, looking for famous teachers everywhere.He first found a lot of people, and found that those people were all tutors who taught how to pass the imperial examination. They were excited when they talked about exam-oriented education.

In the midst of this disappointment again and again, Lou Liang went to Linchuan to visit the great scholar Wu Yubi. But this Wu Yubi had a strange problem. Although he was very knowledgeable, he never accepted students. If someone came from thousands of miles to study, he would be beaten out with a big stick, and he was not polite. But when Lou Liang came, Wu Yubi was overjoyed. He went out to greet him and said: "The old man is smart, and the good friend is smart too." What is smartness?That is to say, Lou Liang, like Wu and Bi, sought exquisite and delicate skills in learning.One is a student who cannot find a teacher, and the other is a teacher who does not accept students. These two treasures have finally met.At that moment Wu Yubi handed Lou Liang a hoe: go, go to the field to hoe the teacher.

At that time Lou Liang was holding a hoe and felt a little dizzy: ... Teacher, I am here to learn... Teacher Wu Yubi earnestly taught: Knowledge is everywhere, and there is great knowledge in plowing and hoeing.The more minutiae in life, the more we must study and comprehend carefully, because knowledge lies in these details. Lou Liang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately took the hoe to hoe the ground.It didn't take long before he became Wu Yubi's apprentice, and when he left the teacher, he had already surpassed the teacher—at least, Wu Yubi didn't dare to say that when he went to the bathroom, he was followed by a row of stars Such words.
