Chapter 67 In the third section, the old Xunzi sang a generosity song when he first went out of the mountain to salute

In the beginning of autumn, Gongsun Longzi came to Cangshan Mountain with thirteen disciples accompanied by Mr. Chunshen.Xunzi used Mengtian's method to deal with him, and he just sat leisurely in the orchid grass on the hillside with Lord Chunshen, listening to the battle between the old and hot Gongsun Longzi and the disciples of Cangshan.It was also three days and three nights, and Gongsun Longzi finally "worshiped today".During this debate, Li Si, Han Fei, Chen Xiao, Gan Luo, and Lu Tian showed their talents and were called "Five Talents of Cangshan Mountain" by Chunshen Jun. They each gave each of them a set of exquisitely woven orchid grass crowns, and each of the disciples of the school's lesser students Give a bucket of wine; give Gongsun Longzi a bronze cart, two hundred Yingjin, three carts of Lanling wine, and a bluegrass crown for each disciple.As a result, the mountain was full of cheers, and the disciples of the two schools spent their time discussing their studies. Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi reminisced about the old days, and the Cangshan Academy was lively for half a month.

Suddenly for more than half a year, Lu Tian has become a junior junior who is quite popular with the students. The three big disciples with very different personalities all got along very well with Lu Tian.Li Si, the senior disciple of the Consulate-General's Academy, felt that this young junior was very knowledgeable, capable and diligent, but he came to help him with trivial matters when he had free time, and never made a single mistake.Han Fei is the noble son of South Korea. He is sharp-edged and arrogant, and he also stutters and speaks slowly. He is usually alone and rarely gets close to the students. In stark contrast to Li Siqia, he has "" among the young disciples. Hot Lee Leng Han".It is such a hard-to-get-together Han Fei, but he agrees with this young junior who has just entered the library. He often pulls Lu Tian away from the group of young students to go to a secluded place to argue and refute. an hour.Xiao Ganluo was indignant, so he often yelled: "Brother Han Fei is also paranoid! Only discussing with Lu Tian, ​​are we so unworthy?" Han Fei smiled coldly when he heard that, and sang leisurely: "Lu Tian has ordinary knowledge, and he is well-known. Keep in mind that you are versatile, but you are superior to me! Such a lively scripture, friendship is also beneficial!" Chen Xiao is a honest and honest person, and feels that although his junior brother Lu Tian is young, he is faithful in his words and deeds without any pomp. The knowledge of ancient books is not as arrogant as Han Fei's for no reason; he often takes the opportunity to meet each other, or go up the mountain to pick orchid herbs, or get a errand from Li Si's place, and always ask this little junior brother to be his helper, talking about learning all the way It's fun.A group of junior disciples also felt that Lu Tiantian was outstanding in learning, but he was much more gentle than Xiaogan Luoqian; whoever had difficulties but found Lu Tian, ​​this new junior would help enthusiastically without any excuses; They also regarded Lu Tian as a friend.Little Gan Luo, the foreman of the junior school, was very displeased. Whenever he provoked Lu Tian to quarrel over trifles, Lu Tian laughed and avoided it for a while. After losing his temper for a while, he smiled happily.

As winter came, the Cangshan Academy became much quieter. Xunzi paid great attention to methods in running schools and educating people, with a degree of leniency and strictness, and appropriate tension, which is quite different from the philosophers of the Warring States Period.Since Confucius opened his private school, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the private school of scholars has become a common practice.They are both private schools, but their methods of educating people are quite different.Among the four major schools of thought, Confucianism and Mohism are the strictest, with their own customized teaching and their own grades. Students have to follow the teacher's footsteps for several years of study, live in groups and have little freedom; Taoism is the most loose, with fewer disciples and more education. There is no custom; Legalists mostly rely on official schools. Except for a few Legalist masters such as Shen Dao, who gathered in Jixia Academy, the largest official school in the world, most of the other famous Legalists are in the government; Official officials, on the one hand practice government affairs, and on the other hand, they are taught by teachers in addition to political affairs, which is not a very academic system.The rest, such as the military family, the famous family, the peasant family, the yin and yang family, etc., are all disciples who follow the teacher's whereabouts and are taught and received privately by the teacher at his discretion. It cannot be said that there is no way to educate people.

Only the Xunzi Academy has a unique academic system, which is rare in the Warring States period. Xunzi's teaching has three methods: one is to solve puzzles in a leisurely way, the other is to talk in a single class, and the third is to gather learning and give lectures.The carefree and clear-eyed disciples are honest and honest disciples who are confused about learning and are ashamed to speak; Xunzi often finds a few people inadvertently, and walks in the mountains with fragrant orchid grass on sunny days, talking while walking; disciples are completely out of restraint , Questions came out one after another, flashes of inspiration often appeared, and many problems were suddenly resolved during the leisurely walk.Single-course narrators, who specialize in elite disciples with exceptional talents and achievements in learning, such as Li Si, Han Fei, and Chen Xiaoganluo, are often called by Xunzi to Zhiyishutang for individual talks; these narrations are not long-winded, Instead, he listened to the disciples explaining the theoretical principles, listening to the disciples' self-cultivation insights, dialing in a few important points, and finally commenting on them, pointing out the direction of future cultivation, and the elite disciples suddenly realized.Gathering lectures is to gather all students to clarify the most important and basic topics.Gathering lectures is the syllabus of teaching, and a lecture is a topic opening.From then on, it ranged from January to March, and the disciples debated and debated around this topic in order to grow their hair.

In addition to the three methods, Xunzi still has the most unique feature from other philosophers, which is to encourage his disciples to innovate and surpass their teachers!If a disciple can not stick to what the teacher said, not stick to the current theories, but have independent ideas, Xunzi will greatly praise him.Xunzi once wrote "Encouraging Learning", and at the beginning, he set up surpassing the teacher and honing knowledge as the yardstick that students should have: "Learning cannot be stopped (learning cannot be stopped). Youth is taken from blue and green is blue; ice, Water is colder than water for it... Therefore, wood can be straightened by the rope, and metal can be sharpened to benefit. A gentleman who is knowledgeable and considers himself day by day, then he knows and does nothing wrong!" Later, Li Sihan Fei and others all came out of Xunzi. However, his knowledge is very innovative from Xunzi's, which is exactly the way Xunzi educates people!

Xunzi was also lenient and strict in controlling his disciples. Cangshan Academy does not have a deacon who specializes in academic affairs, and the daily affairs of all disciples are managed by "capable disciples".Can it work?Two-step resolution: first recommended by Xunzi, and then recommended by his disciples.Six years ago, Xunzi chose the capable Li Si at a glance.After being publicly recommended and confirmed by his disciples, Li Si took charge of the affairs of the school and was called "concurrently leading deacon" by his disciples.Later, Xunzi saw that Li Si did have practical talents, so he handed over the affairs of dealing with the magistrate of Lanling County to Li Si.Over the years, the Cangshan Academy, which has a staff of hundreds but shrinks to tens of students, is in good order. Even Chun Shenjun, who comes here for a few days from time to time, is full of praise.

The winter scene in the Cangshan Academy is one of the many peculiarities of Xunzi's educating people. Every winter, Cangshan Academy enters a half-suspended state.For one thing, there are no lectures in winter.In windy and snowy days, the students gathered around the stove in the thatched hut with one room for four, or read and discussed studies, or the sea and the sky were broad, so Cangshan became much quieter.Second, Xunzi allowed disciples who had trouble at home to go home in winter to save trouble.Every year at the beginning of winter, many disciples leave the museum and go out of the mountain, and then fly back like migratory birds in the spring.Three things, students staying in the mountain in winter have many conveniences: they can live freely, practice martial arts freely, and travel freely within Lanling County, as long as they return to the mountain within three days.With all kinds of conveniences, many disciples are unwilling to go home easily to save trouble, and they always stay in the mountain to enjoy the happy winter as a last resort.

It was snowing heavily on the third day of the beginning of winter, so Lu Tian, ​​a junior junior, went into the Shengli She with a smile. Shenglishe is the hut of Li Si and Han Fei.In the Cangshan Academy, junior disciples live in four people, while adult disciples and senior disciples who have been crowned live in two people.The disciples of each house discussed and decided on names, and they all named their huts.Li Si and Han Fei lived together, and Han Fei didn't bother to think about such trivial matters, so he let Li Si use the word "shengli".When Lu Tian lifted the straw curtain and pushed open the wooden door, he saw Han Fei alone sitting on the wooden couch with his back to the door, meditating. Next to the stove, he took out two lotus leaf bags from the leather bag and opened them, and then lightly went to the wooden shelf in the corner to fetch three pottery bowls and set them up. .

"If I were a king, brother Li Si would be the prime minister!" Han Fei's rap was not without ridicule. "I'm afraid you can't be king." Li Si stepped into the door, patted the snow on his body, took off his worn silk robe and hung it up carefully, and smiled at Lu Tian, ​​"We have all the wine and meat, Brother Lu He Dong Is it?" "Oh, Lu Tian?" On the couch, Han Fei turned around and stepped down, threw away the snow-white fur that had been tangles, and moved to the burning stove with great interest, "Boy sneaked in, why did you just do something boring?"

"Brother Han Fei has far-reaching plans, and alcoholics dare not disturb him." Lu Tian chuckled. "You're as tall as you are! I want to drink today!" Han Fei was delighted to see Lu Tian. "Look, two big brothers!" Lu Tian tapped the exquisite clay pot lightly, "I went to Lanling the day before yesterday and bought this pot of 30-year-old wine and ten catties of soy pork! It's the first snow today, just to congratulate How is winter?" "Okay!" Han Fei smiled, "The money will come from Han's account, and all other money this winter will be counted on me."

"Brother Han is getting bigger." Li Si smiled faintly, "Last Lixia last year, Xinzheng only sent you one thousand old Korean coins and twenty Han gold. Every time you go to Lanling, you buy hundreds of bamboo slips and drink alcohol. It costs hundreds of dollars at every turn. At present, Han only has more than three hundred dollars left in his account, and I am afraid that even this can of old wine is not enough to pay." "You, why didn't you say it earlier..." Han Fei blushed and even forgot to sing. "Brother Han Fei, don't worry." Lu Tian smiled brightly, "Brother Li Si is kind, wouldn't you be annoyed if you said it too early? I'm just talking about it today, just to remind my brother. How much do you care? How much is the foreign money?" It’s not about studying, the Korean account has no money, just wait, and the Korean royal family can’t care about you?” It turned out that the Xunzi Academy was assisted by Lord Chunshen, but it selected people for their talents and learning, and did not charge students for learning money, and did not even accept Confucius' five pieces of dried meat.Once the disciples enter the library, the food and clothing expenses will be paid by the taxes allocated by Lanling County. Although they are not rich, they are still able to support their studies.After Li Si was in charge of academic affairs, he came up with an ingenious idea. He asked Xunzi to let his disciples take turns to go to the mountains to pick orchids during various spare time and school breaks, and transport them to Lanling to sell to the orchid paste workshop. The money accumulated was used to supplement the students' food and clothing.In this way, the students of the Cangshan Academy can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing, and a group of talented young people from poor and common people can study with peace of mind.However, the students' family backgrounds are different, and their food and clothing are different. When the poor children live and live in peace and contentment, the noble children have many extra needs.Xunzi has a broad mind and advocates self-cultivation. It is not like the Mohist school who seeks for all disciples through ascetic practice and allows wealthy disciples to spend "foreign money" in addition to sharing food and clothing in the academy.The so-called foreign money refers to private money sent to disciples by wealthy people.In order to prevent unscrupulous people from stealing and other embarrassing things, Xunzi ordered Li Si to properly control "foreign money".Li Si has a law: "Foreign money" belongs to the students' private money, but it must be kept in a stone cabinet set up by the school; each person has an account, and he is allowed to spend extra during the study period.Han Fei is a child of the Korean royal family, and he has a lot of foreign money. Hearing what Li Siyi said today was a big surprise, how can he not feel embarrassed?If Lu Tian hadn't said something with a smile on his face, the two of them would have been embarrassed. "That's right, I just reminded Brother Han Fei, how could he!" Li Sixian laughed. "The country is not the country!" Han Fei stomped his feet and sighed, obviously he was no longer interested in Li Si. Lu Tian hurriedly poured out the old wine and gave each of the two seniors a bowl, and invited He Dong to have a drink.Li Siyuan was well-rounded and sophisticated, and Han Fei also managed to keep his dignity. After drinking a bowl and laughing, the unhappiness disappeared just now. "What do the two seniors mean by 'shenglishe'?" Lu Tian was looking for a topic. "Brother Li Si got it, say it yourself." Han Fei always disdained to talk about trivial matters. Li Si smiled and said: "The rope is the law and the standard. The sharpener is the whetstone." "Brother understands." Lu Tian nodded again and again, "The teacher's "Encouraging Learning" is also the purpose!" "Brother Lu." This is Li Si's peculiar name for Lu Tian after he debated Gongsun Longzi.At this moment, Li Si poked the red charcoal in the stove, and suddenly asked, "I have been in the mountain for more than six years, and I have to leave the mountain to stand on my own. Where do you think I should go?" "Brother scared me!" Lu Tian smiled, "Brother Han Fei should speak first." Li Si smiled faintly: "Brother Fei and I have been in the same room for six years, how can we say nothing?" "Of course!" Han Feifeng said with a flash of breath, "Brother Li Si is a great talent in politics. When he enters a weak and small country, he will be successful in his career. For example, when Shang Jun entered Qin Dynasty! But that's the case, how can I talk about Li Si?" Brother Li went to Korea and joined hands with me to revitalize Korea. But brother Li Si said that Korea is hopeless, and the Central Plains is hopeless, so it is unreasonable!" Li Si waved his hands again and again: "Young people are awesome, I'd better listen to brother Lu." "There is no salvation in the Central Plains?" Lu Tianlue thought for a while and clapped his hands suddenly, "By the way, Gan Luo said he was going back to the Qin State! How about Brother Li Si going to the Qin State? You can't see the countries around the Central Plains!" "Not necessarily." Li Si shook his head, "Chu State wanted me to be the sheriff a long time ago." Han Fei sneered: "The ambition of the county guard is nothing to talk about!" He put down the big bowl and went to bed. "A person who eats fine clothes and jade doesn't know what to buy!" Li Si sighed while pulling charcoal. "The two elder brothers are both right." Lu Tian chuckled, "This is Shenglishe. Brother Han Fei encouraged Brother Li Si to be more ambitious, that's right! Brother Li Si didn't try to be vain but was practical, that's even more true! Let me say, Brother Li Si still has another way, the country of Zhao! In today’s world, only the country of Zhao can compete with the country of Qin. The teacher is from Zhao, and he has a good relationship with Lord Pingyuan. You might as well ask the teacher to recommend a letter and go to Zhao country to do something big Merit!" "At least that's the way it is!" Han Fei suddenly got off the bed and moved to the burning stove. "Carve a boat to ask for sword ears." Li Si shook his head and smiled contemptuously. "Then it's Qi State! Qi Wangjian is looking for talents!" "The glue sticks are buzzing." "Yan Kingdom!" "It's the opposite." "Wei country!" "Cross the road and lose the sheep's ear." "Where? Only Chu State?" Lu Tian suddenly became cautious. "The moon is bright and the sky is breathing, why worry so much!" Li Si recited a sentence with emotion. "There are many hesitations about major matters, and brother Si is also chronically ill!" Han Fei frowned and smiled coldly, "The ambition of the world does not care about the details, and the journey of a thousand miles does not count the ups and downs. If you are like this, you will not be worried about your position and you will not be able to stretch yourself. Worrying about the empty space is necessary to make a solid living. Worrying about this, worrying about that, there will be no country at all! But as a man, if you admire a country, you should go there generously, regardless of the ups and downs, not afraid of dangers, even if you die nine times, you will have no regrets For example, Shang Jun and Fan Ju, both of them went through all kinds of ups and downs when they entered the Qin Dynasty. It's like you, hehe, I didn't win!" Han Fei's thin, sharp-edged face became even more stern. After taking a sip from the bowl, it stopped abruptly. "Brother Han Fei is serious..." Lu Tian hurriedly closed the field with a smile. "It doesn't matter." Li Si waved his hands and smiled, "Brother Fei and I are fighting against each other, how come one day? Hesitating is not good, but making a rash decision is a lot of defeat!" Li Si sighed and said loudly After drinking a bowl of old Lanling wine, and wiping the corner of his mouth with his patched sleeves, he was very emotional, "When I was young, I was a village official, and I saw the rats in the official warehouse living under the big house, enjoying the hoarding of millet in peace, and there was no one there. Worry about dogs being harassed! Rats in the latrines eat poor, dirty food, are frequently harassed by humans and dogs, flee in panic at every turn, and even die suddenly for no reason. They are the same livelihood as rats, but their circumstances are worlds apart! So what? It’s different in the place! At that time, Li Si thought, the human condition is like a mouse! In the ear..." Li Si seemed to be a little drunk, and tears glistened in his eyes, "For example, Brother, born as a prince, bells and whistles are eaten, you can be a king and a dignitary when you advance, and you can be a great scholar when you retire. Naturally, he treats everything like grass, and makes a decisive decision when encountering problems. As for success or failure, he can completely ignore it! But like Li Si , was born in the common people, grew up in poverty, not only bears the worries of the family's livelihood, but also bears the hope of the family's great family, and even wants to achieve the success of his own family. If you advance, you will struggle, and if you retreat, you will be devastated. Even if you have great ambitions and talents, how can you not Think twice before acting!" "Brother Li Si..." Lu Tian couldn't help sobbing. "It's nonsense! Where do you come from?" Han Fei said coldly. Seeing Lu Tian staring at him in a daze, he couldn't help but angrily knocked on the pottery bowl and cursed, "Bird! The royal family's children don't get hit! You can't do anything!" People in cloth clothes, Han Fei hates it too! How free and easy are people in clothes? You can choose a strong country, you can choose a wise leader, stay if you agree, leave if you don’t agree. At that time, leaving a name in the history, why not do it! But what about the children of the royal family? The family is entangled with grievances and grievances, the court is entangled, and the country cannot be chosen, and the master cannot be ministered. And just watch from the sidelines, only guarding the prince's laurels and spending his life in vain! The corpse sits on a plain meal, and the shadows hang each other, such loneliness and anger, how can people bear it?!" "Brother Han Fei..." Lu Tian choked up again. The little hut was silent.It was already dusk, and the bright charcoal fire of the Liao furnace reflected the three of them, speechless for a long time.In the end, it was Li Si who was old and open-minded, filled the three pottery bowls with Lanling wine and said with a relieved smile: "Everything in life is difficult! It turned out that I made a wrong topic, which made Brother Fei unhappy. Come on, everyone has a bowl, let's just leave it alone." One side!" The reserved and aloof Han Fei has never uttered his heartfelt songs. Today, he sighed for the first time. Although his face was flushed, his heart relaxed a lot. He wiped the corner of his eyes and raised the big pottery bowl: "Today's words, Han Fei Brother Xie Desi too! Come on, do it!" Lu Tian quickly raised his bowl and praised: "The two big brothers are studying in the same class, and it is also a unique encounter. Do it! The two big brothers came to the same goal by different routes, and they showed their ambitions!" The three bowls collided suddenly, and there was a burst of Laughter filled Cangshan with the flying snowflakes. For a whole winter, Lu Tian lived in Shenglishe.The three roamed in the mountains during the day and chatted around the fire at night.When winter turns to spring, the orchids in the mountains are blooming green and yellow again, and an unexpected plan is brewing.Spring began in March, and the disciples who saved troubles returned to Cangshan in an endless stream.Li Si managed Yiying's academic affairs smoothly, and then walked into Xunzi's Zhiyi Workshop. "Li Si, if you have something to say, talk about it." "Teacher, the school affairs are ready, and the disciple wants to quit school and become self-reliant." "But westbound?" Xunzi smiled leisurely. "Exactly. The disciple wants to go to Qin." "Why did you choose Qin?" Xunzi was not surprised, but he still asked. Li Silue thought for a while and calmly cupped his hands and said: "Teacher Zeng Yun, there is no time to be lazy. Fang is going down today, when the tide of return is brewing, and it is also an opportunity for ordinary people to gallop their talents and lobby the hero. Teacher Li Sideng taught To become a talent, if you can't come out at the right time, you will be like a deer that ignores meat and does not hunt, and a person can do nothing but go out of the house. Si Benbuyi, if you stay in a difficult place for a long time, you will criticize the current situation in vain and do nothing. This is not the ambition of a scholar. .Only because of this, the disciple decided to go west and enter Qin, in order to expand!" "Judging by the general situation, you are still very appropriate, I have nothing to say!" Xunzi sighed and then smiled, "Li Si, you are not a bird in a canopy. This old man is very pleased! The date of departure is fixed, old man dear It will be a farewell for you." "Teacher... How about I hand over the school affairs to Chen Xiao?" "The school's affairs have already been established, and you can decide who is in charge." "Also. Lu Tian wants to see the teacher, so he asks his disciples to help him." Xunzi said with a smile: "The boy is too pretentious, just teach him how to do it." Li Si promised and hurried away.After a while, Lu Tian entered the Zhiyi hall with a green cloth bag in his hand, and prostrated himself on the ground in front of Xunzi: "Disciple Meng Tian, ​​meet the teacher!" "Get up." Xunzi stood up from behind the stone desk and smiled. , "Meng Tian, ​​you are not an old man's student, so you don't need to be a disciple. In the future, you will just be friends with me." I will be a teacher for life, and my disciples dare not overstep!" "My boy is more serious!" Xunzi said with a smile, "Okay! I will do whatever you want. If you want to be a disciple, you will be a disciple." "Hi!" Meng Tian was happy I have to get up and pick up the burden, "I have two things for the teacher!" "Meng Tian, ​​don't you know the laws of the Cangshan Academy?" "Teacher, this is not a gift, it's just stationery!" "The old man has no shortage of stationery." "This stationery is created by the disciples. The teacher will definitely use it easily." Meng Tian opened the package and revealed two small wooden boxes. When he placed the wooden boxes on the stone table in front of Xunzi and opened them, the eyes of the old Xunzi suddenly brightened—— One side polishes an extremely delicate Wenrun stone inkstone, and a long-tube brush that has never been seen before!Xunzi worked hard on copywriting all his life, so he could see at a glance that the two objects were unusual, and commented after looking at them: "This square stone inkstone is a She jade inkstone from the Chu State. It is expensive, but it is not very novel. Only this large brush is unprecedented in the world. , I wonder if it was made by a skilled craftsman?" Meng Tian smiled mischievously: "Teacher, try to write a few words first, to see if it goes smoothly?" Xunzi was also very curious, so he picked up a long-tube brush from the wooden box and looked at it carefully.Officials noticed that before the Warring States Period, the writing tools of the ancients were very different. Commoner scholars had wooden pens, bamboo pens, stone pens, or even white clay pens. Bamboo lettering), brushes and so on.In other words, the writing brush before the Warring States period was only one of the writing tools, and it was only used by nobles and celebrities.The so-called writing brush at that time was a layer of wolf hair tied around the end of a bamboo or wooden tube. Repeated use for a long time, second, easy writing, third, round and beautiful handwriting; at the same time, there is a defect: the hair bundle is hollow, easy to leak ink, and ink stains often stain bamboo slips, wooden boards or parchment, so the writer needs to be extra careful.Nevertheless, due to the three benefits, writing brushes gradually increased in the Warring States period, but their shape was always tied to the outside, so they have never become a stationery that everyone is willing to use. The writing brush in Xunzi's hand is strange: a clump of thin, shiny snow-white hairs is stuck in the bamboo tube at the end.Apparently, this clump of white hairs is several times more than that of the kind of brush that is bound outside the tube. "The tuft is so thick, it absorbs so much ink!" "A lot of ink, a lot of writing, and frugality in the end." Meng Tian answered immediately. "Okay, try your hand." Xunzi took a large sheet of very precious parchment and spread it out.Meng Tian soaked the new brush in a clear water bowl, and began to grind the ink in the new inkstone.When the ink was ready to turn into juice, Meng Tian took out the brush from the clear water and shook it dry gently, and held it to Xunzi with both hands.Xunzi took the pen into the inkstone, and saw that most of the ink in the inkstone suddenly disappeared, and the large brush immediately swelled up, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a brush! It's an ink dragon!" The power of the ink dragon!" Xunzi picked up the pen, and felt that the brush was falling heavily, he couldn't help tightening his fingers and gathering strength in his wrist, a wave of heart force was born, and the large brush dipped in thick ink fell heavily on the parchment, and he swiped vigorously. , In a moment, there are three lines of majestic towering towers like mountains and mountains-the sky is always going, it does not exist for Yao, and does not perish for Jie! "Long live! The teacher can write in Qin Zhuan!" Meng Tian immediately cheered. Xunzi smiled lightly and said, "Qin seal script has many strokes. Look at how many characters you have written in ink dragon. What's your name?" After speaking, he brought the thin but still neat and tangible brush to his eyes, and he was very moved, "This thing is amazing. Also! No leakage of ink, solid strength, thick and thin according to the person, you can also store ink to continue writing, it is really a work of heaven! Where is it made by magic? I will thank you in person!" "Teacher," Meng Tian blushed suddenly, "this is what my disciples did." "You? Can you build things?" Xunzi was so surprised that his old eyes were straightened. "Teacher clearly observes." Meng Tian cupped his hands and said, "I have tasted good utensils. I once increased the Qin Zheng from nine strings to twelve strings. The timbre is quite rich and elegant. I left Senior Lu Zhonglian and went north to search for Lanling. Therefore, in the southwestern mountainous area of ​​Zhenze in the state of Wuyue, they hunted sheep and had a picnic. Seeing that the underarms of the wild goats here are flexible and straight, they suddenly had a whim, picked a lot of sheep's hairs and carefully selected them, and cut a few green bamboos to make a big one. I have two small tubes of writing brushes. The big one is for the teacher, and the small one is for my father, lest he scold me for running away from home.” "It's God's will! A new pen comes out, civilization flourishes, and Meng Tian has done a great job!" "The disciple dare not accept this praise." "What's the prize for the old man? Qingshi has its own Meng Tian pen!" "Meng Tian is blessed if the teacher does not refuse to accept the custom." "The boy can talk." Xunzi laughed loudly, "You made me two big disciples, so I accepted this Mengtian ink dragon brush! Hey, did this thing get its name?" "The disciple's intention is to name it with the three characters 'Xun Mo Guan'." "My boy! How can I steal my name?" Xun Zixuan obviously couldn't put it down holding a large brush. "Historically, utensils are mostly named after craftsmen. How about calling it 'Mengshi Daguan' made by Meng Tian?" "I don't dare to be a disciple." Meng Tian said with a blushing face, "The writing brush is a thing made in the past. Although the disciple has reformed it, it is still the writing brush. For example, the disciple reformed the Qin Zheng, and the Qin Zheng is still the Qin Zheng." "Meng Tian is sure to achieve great success if he is clear about his heart and far from his aspirations!" On the day of the vernal equinox, the Cangshan Academy made an exception and held a ceremony to leave the mountain. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, private schools flourished. Different from official schools, private schools mostly educated people in quiet places in mountains and seas, such as the Jiran School, Mohist School, Taoist School, Military School, Famous School, Farm School, Doctor School, Yin-Yang School, etc. There are countless.Therefore, when a student graduates and enters the world, he is called "coming out of the mountain".Those who come out of the mountain are also the etiquette of students leaving school after graduation.The climate of private schools in later generations declined greatly, and most of them were attached to official schools and were close to the cities. The word "coming out of the mountain" became synonymous with hermits becoming officials, and it was no longer a gift for students all over the world. This is a later story. At dawn, Xunzi came out of Zhiyifang, wearing a clean and tidy linen gown of natural color, a six-inch bamboo skin crown, a pair of thick and soft green cloth boots, and his gray beard and hair fluttering in the wind.As soon as he came out of the cave, the disciples who had already lined up in the corridor at the entrance of the cave shouted in unison: "Welcome, teacher!" Xunzi smiled lightly: "Who will be in charge?" Teacher: Disciple Chen Xiao is in charge of the ceremony, and the two disciples who came out of the mountain are already watching the ceremony in front of the altar!" After saying that, he turned around and waved his hands, and the disciples surrounded Xunzi on both sides and left the courtyard of the academy. On the emerald-yellow orchid grass hillside, there is already a high platform built of stone slabs. The offering on the incense table under the platform is not a pig's head or a sheep's head, but a clay pot of bright orchid ointment.Li Sihanfei and Gan Luomengtian, who accompanied them, were kneeling solemnly on the straw mat under the stage and watching silently.Hearing a shout from behind: "My master and the disciples on the mountain have arrived—" the four of them stood up together, turned around and bowed deeply: "The disciples who came out of the mountain welcome my master!" Xunzi still smiled lightly and waved to the disciples before and after He said: "Li is the heart. You are no better than the disciples of Confucianism. If you are too rigid and etiquette, you will lose your mind." The disciples shouted happily.Chen Xiao came over and whispered a few words in Xunzi's ear, and seeing Xunzi nodding, he shouted: "The disciple who came out of the mountain told heaven——Li Si——" Li Si stepped forward solemnly, and the washed white linen robe was rolled up by the wind, revealing layers of patches in his underwear and brand new straw sandals under his feet.On the altar, Li Si held the incense and bowed deeply to the sky three times, inserted the incense stick and cupped his hands to the sky and said loudly: "Haotian is above: Shangcai Li Si came out of the mountain today, determined to be upright, to promote the Dao, and to open the door of our teacher." Learn! If you cheat your heart and act privately, and recite my teacher's teachings on self-cultivation, you will be punished by heaven!" "Long live Li Si—" the disciples cheered. Han Fei walked up to the stage, and several young disciples laughed secretly.It turned out that Han Fei had always been slovenly. He wore an expensive embroidered robe that was crumpled and hung between his calves. His pair of leather boots were so dirty that they lost all luster. Although there was a four-inch jade crown on his head, his long hair was disheveled. It seems that there is no hairpin at all, and the image of Mai Tai is in contrast with Li Sicheng.It is also Xunzi who does not pay attention to careful conduct in educating people. If he was a disciple of Confucius, such deeds would definitely not be respected.Even so, Han Fei didn't realize it, his thin and bony body swayed up the high platform, and after worshiping, he cried out angrily and mournfully: "Huanghuang goes to the sky, the danger is so high! If you are always doing what you do, why do you cause the world to be perverted? With a clear heart, why trap Han Fei in a ruined country? It’s hard for Han Fei to stretch his talents and unreward his ambitions. The sun and the moon are wasted, and there is no loneliness and anger! Now that Han Fei is out of the mountain, there is a candle in the sky. I'll learn! If the sky is subtle and people can't meet each other, Han Fei is willing to be a prisoner of heaven, and he will die without regret!" The mournful chant echoed in the wind of Xi Xigu, but the disciples cheered for no reason. Chen Xiao was at a loss for what to do, so he couldn't help but glance at Li Si.Li Stanran said: "The etiquette is orderly, and there are rules for things. Don't make changes based on yourself." Chen Xiao suddenly realized, and seeing that the teacher was still as usual, he sang again: "The disciple tells the sky. My teacher came out of the mountain to give a message— —!” In this moment, Meng Tian and Gan Luo had helped Han Fei off the altar.Because Meng Tian is not a formal disciple of Chang Xue, and Gan Luo is a young student who may continue his studies after leaving the library, neither of them can be regarded as formally leaving the mountain, so they don't tell God.Although Han Fei felt sad for a while and couldn't help himself, but after all, a broad-minded man, he bowed to Xunzi when he stepped down from the stage and said, "My disciple is shallow. I blame heaven and myself, and I am ashamed of my teacher..." Xunzi waved his hands openly and said with a smile: "Tian What's the matter with responsibility? I have a bitter heart, so why not be sad?" The disciples laughed, and Han Fei also blushed and laughed. The disciples sat in a circle around Xunzi on the grass under the altar.It is a traditional custom for the teacher to give a farewell warning to the disciples who leave the mountain, and it is also the most important part of the ceremony.Since the Spring and Autumn Period, every parting warning given by a master to his disciples has become a motto, or even a prophecy.So not only the disciples who go out of the mountain value it very much, but also the disciples in the museum are everyone's heart.Disciples all know that the teacher is not only profound in knowledge, but also proficient in yin and yang physiognomy. Although he wrote "Non-Phase" to criticize the technique of phasing people, he often has amazing words when he knows people and predicts people.It is also the first time that Cangshan Academy performed the ceremony for the two big disciples to go out of the mountain today. The teacher must have given special warnings, and he dared not be negligent or negligent. Li Si stood up solemnly and bowed: "Disciple, come out of the mountain, please ask my teacher for advice." Xunzi said slowly: "Li Si, the old man gave you sixteen characters, but if you can keep it, it will last forever. The sixteen characters say: If you rely on the public to hold office, and rely on integrity to manage things, you will succeed if you have a heart, and you will fail if you are sloppy." "Dare to ask the teacher to disassemble one or two." Xunzi is both indifferent and dignified: "A son is a political talent, but the joint is not in holding education and governing. In a political career, half of the talent is half, and half of the personnel. Knowing this, the road can be accomplished!" "My teacher's teachings, Li Si engraves them in his heart!" Han Fei stood up and bowed: "Disciple comes out of the mountain, dare to invite my teacher's proverb medicine stone." "Zi is a man of temperament!" Xunzi sighed softly, "But if you can deal with things with a constant heart, balance the theory, do politics and study, you can achieve great success!" Seeing that Han Fei was still looking at him in a daze, Xunzi thought for a while Add another sentence, "Qu Yuan is also a lesson for the son!" "Thank you, my teacher." Han Fei seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything. Chen Xiao walked over cautiously: "Teacher, it's time for the two senior brothers to start their journey." "Okay!" Xunzi stood up and waved his hands, "The old man will go out of the mountain with you!" With a cheer, the disciples surrounded the teacher and Li Sihanfei, and walked down the mountain road full of flowers and plants.Arriving at the mountain pass, looking at the first line of official roads down the mountain, almost everyone stopped at the same time and looked at the teacher whose forehead was already dripping with sweat.Xunzi couldn't help laughing and said: "I have to say goodbye after leaving the mountain, so the old man will sing a song. How about waiting for the four of you?" Li Si and Han Fei were still in a daze. Big up.Chen Xiao, the deacon, smiled awkwardly: "It's a pity! I didn't bring Teacher Guqin." "I have Tao Xun!" Meng Tian took out a dark thing from the leather bag and held it up with a loud laugh, "Teacher , Is it the style of Chu?" Xunzi smiled generously: "Okay! Chu Feng's Call of the Soul." Meng Tian agreed, holding the Tao Xun with both hands and sinking his heart, the deep, high-pitched and slightly sad Xun sound whimpered and fluttered in the mountain wind.Chu songs are in a style of their own, which is quite different from the songs of the Central Plains.First of all, the length of sentences in Chu songs is free, and the rhymes are also optional. Unlike the Central Plains, most of the four-character songs have one rhyme, and the rhymes are generally neat. Secondly, the melody of Chu songs has great ups and downs.There are more than 300 poems collected by Confucius, each of the Wenhua princes has a chapter, and even the state of Qin, which Confucius did not like very much, has a chapter of "Qin Feng", but only the songs of Chu Feng are not included.After Qu Yuan's death, "Li Sao" circulated in the Central Plains, and the unique charm of Chu songs finally became familiar to the Central Plains people.Xun Zi’s study has no boundaries, and his heart has no boundaries. In his "On Music", he said at the beginning: "Music is music, and it is inevitable for human feelings!" The unique theory of everyone in the Warring States Period!Xunzi loved the free and unrestrained songs of Chu, and when he told his disciples about the songs and music of the world, he said with emotion: "Although the sounds of elegance and praise are the same, they are not as good as the true colors of Chu songs!" Along with the long sobbing Xun sound, an old chant suddenly echoed in the valley—— Cangsha's passionate singing echoed in the mountains, but the disciples even forgot to cheer.But as scholars of the Warring States period, everyone knows the sorrow and sorrow of Chu Feng's Call of Souls. Today, when Xunzi sang it, the situation was very different, and it added a strong and exciting feeling, and the disciples were silent for a while.When Xunzi turned around, Li Si bowed deeply: "My teacher gave me a song, the words are far-reaching and inspiring, Li Si would like to be taught!" Han Fei also bowed: "The teacher wrote "Tianlun", published乎《离骚》，过屈原之《天问》多矣！弟子当铭刻在心：制天命而用之！”荀子慨然一笑：“韩非呵，子能以老夫之歌与《天问》相比，颇近大道也！屈子者，烈烈有识之士也。然士子尽如屈子者，天下亦难为矣！” “弟子谨受教！”李斯韩非甘罗蒙恬四人同声一拱。 “日当正午，离学弟子出山——” 随着陈嚣的宣呼声，少学弟子们齐喊一声师兄出山喽，挽手成圈踏歌起舞，唱得却是依荀子《劝学》篇编得一支歌儿：“青成蓝兮蓝谢青，冰寒水兮水为冰。积跬步兮成千里，十载学兮做砺绳。出山行兮路修远，学之大兮终得成。” 歌声漫漫，兰草青青。李斯韩非四人终是依依不舍地去了。峰头的荀子如一尊雕象般临风伫立默默远望，眼见四人身影渐渐出了山口，渐渐变成了绿色山峦中的悠悠黑点，渐渐消失在通向北方的官道。
