? Du lives in an equal position and receives guests from all over the world. Due to the variety of people who come to the door, there are also many objections to Du himself. It's hard for Dr. Zhuang and Dr. Yu to find out what's wrong with them, at least I can't. These two men, one is a model of Gao Shi and the other is a model of true Confucianism.
? Zhuang, whose real name is Shangzhi and whose word is Shaoguang, is a scholar who has lived in Ning for generations. Those who seek a monarch, those who have sought a hermit and never give up, are regarded as honorifics.
? Zhuang is a prodigy. At the age of eleven or twelve, he will write a 7,000-word fu, which is famous all over the world. Less than forty years old, he is famous, but he "writes books behind closed doors and refuses to make mistakes." There are guests. I heard it was Du and Chi Hengshan, so I was willing to come out and meet each other.
? Even the doctor's visit to Nanjing was turned away. The reason is: "I rejected these crowns. Although he is a small official, he is too lazy to see him. " When Du explained the doctor's personality, he didn't pay a return visit, and the result hit it off. "Yu Dafu loves the comfort of Zhuang, and Zhuang Aiyu's muddy elegance, and the two became friends.
? Comfort is indeed the biggest feature of Zhuang. Zhuang is a hermit. He is quiet and handsome under the forest, but he is not as wild as a hermit in the bamboo forest.
? He did not abandon the world, but took appropriate measures in the bustling world of mortals, taking his time and successfully guarding his pure land. So he was requisitioned by the court and said to his wife before going to Beijing, "We are different from living in seclusion in the mountains. Since I was summoned by order, I can't be proud of the ceremony. " But at the same time, he said, "Don't worry, I will come back and will never be laughed at by Lao Laizi's wife."
? Zhuang met the king of Qi, and the son of heaven asked about politics. He wants to play correctly, and his head hurts a little. He really can't stand it. He has to ask you to think it over before you start. I looked down and saw a scorpion in my turban. The next day, incense was burned and divination was called "Tianshan Dun".
? Knowing that "I can't do it", Zhuang carefully formulated ten strategies for education, and wrote a book asking for returning the mountain and submitting it. The powerful minister in the DPRK sent a message to "accept it as peaches and plums." Zhuang Zheng Jun's refusal is neither supercilious nor supercilious, which is best reflected in his character: "There is no Confucius in the world, so you can't be his disciple. Besides, Tai has paid tribute to me many times, and I don't know how many of Hanyuan's proteges there are. Why choose a savage who was born later? This is afraid to learn. "
Taibao hit the nail on the head, and the next day he used testimonies as words to teach the emperor to approve Zhuang's return to the mountain. Zhuang anticipated this situation, so he resigned so abruptly. In fact, scorpions and hexagrams are just a way for Mr. Wu to save face for Emperor Jiajing (he is supposed to be in the book).
However, in the book, Jiajing gave Xuanwu Lake to Zhuang, "writing a book and arguing that it is clear", but he did a good thing. Xuanwu Lake has five continents. "There are pictures on four continents. There is a big garden in Zhongzhou, which is for Zhuang. There are dozens of houses. The old trees in the garden, such as plum blossom, peach, plum, plantain, laurel and chrysanthemum, are flowers all the time. There is also a bamboo garden with tens of thousands of poles. There are four windows in the garden, and looking at the lakes and mountains is really like a fairyland. There is a boat tied to the door. I want to go there and cross it in the lake. If you take this boat, you can't fly there. "
? Zhuang lives in this garden and watches the water with his wife. Having nothing to do, Du considered raising a glass to his poem, and asked his wife to sit next to her and read it to her. Reading interesting places, eating a big glass and laughing at each other-the eternal dream of China scholars, so Mr. Wu realized it for us once in the most plain language in the book. Although it is only in the book, it also gives us a short-term satisfaction and dares not ask for more. Every time I read this, I always look back at these paragraphs when I moved to Xuanwu Lake. I wonder if there is anyone with the same hobby.
? Zhuang is a model of high fitness-more or less a model of the ideal world; Dr. Yu is a completely different way, which sets a real example of Confucianism for us in the secular world, an example that mortals can learn more from.
? Dr. Yu is famous for his virtue in Changshu, a place with great humanistic spirit. Mother Yu dreamed that Wenchang was the king and was pregnant. The name comes from the Book of Changes, "A gentleman takes fruit as Xiu De", which is written on the note handed over by Wenchang in the dream. Dr. Yu is considerate, long and polite. Whether studying poetry, calligraphy or teaching students in the library, he is earnest and down-to-earth, which is inconsistent with the teachings of saints everywhere. Dr. Yu refused to take shortcuts, was diligent in reading and taking exams, and was not short of madness. He still taught the library with peace of mind, enjoyed a happy life and was calm and sober.
? At the age of 50, he entered the Jinshi. People were all in their fifties and sixties, and their resumes didn't show their actual ages. Only he wrote the actual age. It was supposed to be the Hanlin, but the Emperor thought he was old, so he made him an idle official and made up for Dr. imperial academy in Nanjing (so he was called Dr. Yu). Dr. Yu is still happy: "Nanjing is a good place, with mountains and water, and it is close to my hometown. I'm going to a place to reunite with my wife and children. I might as well be a poor academician. "
? Dr. imperial academy is also a poor official, not as decent as an academician. However, Dr. Yu is not talking about this, but is really interested. As Du Xiangzhuang introduced: "This person is different, not only without learning, but also without morale. His thoughts were diluted, and he went up to Boyi and Liu Xiahui and down to Taojing Festival. "
? Dr. Yu's behavior is not only undiluted, but also benign. Whether it is caring for the grave before becoming an official, giving generously to other people's fathers, teaching disciples chemistry after becoming an official, rehabilitating people who have done wrong, humiliating domestic servants in every way, or being kind to them regardless of the situation, it is so logical for doctors to do it. Wu Zhengzi's realm is not enough, and he is unwilling to Dr. Yu, but Du can understand and repeatedly say, "This is also a common thing for the elderly." "These slaves have any conscience! But the old man gave him money twice, not because he wanted someone to say yes, so it was rare. "
? Du works alone, so he is a bosom friend of Dr. Yu. In The Scholars, I think there are two sentences that are most inspiring. There is a saying that actor Bao said when he refused to take bribes. "I know I am poor, and I want to earn money from bones to make meat"; There is also a saying that Grandpa Qi, the owner of the Doctor Museum, praised him for his kindness. Dr. Yu said, "Yin is like ringing ears. You know it yourself, but others don't. Now that the old man knows, where is it? " They are all simple words, but only when people do that can they say them.
Dr. Yu presided over a learning palace in Nanjing and hosted the Taibo ceremony. He set an example, and his educational achievements, just as Du's cousin Yu's brother said when he denounced the snobbery in Wuhe County: "In our county, courtesy, honesty and shame have all disappeared! Because there is no good official, if you put it in Dr. Yu in Nanjing, how can this kind of thing go! " "Look at Dr Behavior, he didn't want to ban people, but has been dehumanized. People naturally can't do that indecent thing. "
? Yu postdoctoral fellow was promoted to Zhejiang. Before leaving, the sages held a farewell party at Zhuang Zhuojiang's house, and Du was put on the boat on the day of departure, which was very sad. Dr. Yu said earnestly, "Young Shao, I'll tell you the truth. I am a poor man. I worked as a doctor in Nanjing for six or seven years, and I accumulated a few taels of salary every year, only earning a piece of land of 30 tons of meters. I'll work in a department or a county for at most three years and at least two years, and then I'll save some money and add 20 tons of rice so that my husband and wife won't starve to death every year, that's all. I don't care about his children. Now, after studying, I teach my children to study for a doctorate so that they can make a living. Why should I be an official? " When they parted in tears, Du went home and told these words to Mr. Yu Da. Mr. Yu Da sighed: "What a gentleman, calm. We have to take this as the law when we are born. " Believe it!
? Dr. Yu is elegant and calm, but never blind. Disciple Chuxin and Dr. Yu slandered Du, and Dr. Yu said seriously, "This is not true. Everyone knows his talent and fame, and no one refuses to accept his poems. Every ordinary person asked him to write poems here, and I was touched by his light. " What I like most about Dr. Yu is his occasional Excellence in Hunya.
? In a word, Zhuang is our ideal model, while Dr. Yu is the most exemplary model in our reality. Both of them are sages in the Confucian forest and top figures in the top grade.
