He raised the son of the country with Tao and taught him the six arts. -- Zhou Li Bao Shi
It was better to have a good father than to learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry. -- saying
Liu Meng listened and looked at the three walls of the Sunset Smoke Hall. He moved the pen and ink on the table to one of the blank walls and pondered while grinding the ink. After a while, he started to chant while tapping on the wall. When Mu Weizhou heard it, he realized that Liu Meng was singing a poem from the Tao Te Ching,"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things." All things carry yin qi and embrace yang qi, which is used to make harmony. What people hate is only loneliness, widowhood and lack of food, which is praised by princes and princes. Therefore, some things are damaged and some things are increased, and some things are increased and damaged. What others teach me, I teach them: 'A strong man will not die.'I will be your godfather."
At first, Mu Weizhou thought that Liu Meng was reading and writing at the same time, but after reading a few words, he realized that the content of his writing was completely different from the content of his singing. Liu Wei's brush moved like a dragon and snake, and his body was like a dancer. He moved according to the tune, reflecting the empty wall behind him, extremely unrestrained.
By the time Liu Chi finished singing, the words on the wall were also finished. Mu Weizhou looked at the words on the wall and realized that he couldn't recognize many of them. He was afraid of revealing his cowardice and didn't dare to speak.
Everyone was silent for a while. Suddenly, Wang Chong knelt down and said loudly,"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are intelligent and benevolent. It is the fortune of our people that the Han Dynasty has such a crown prince.”
Hearing Wang Chong's words, Liu Meng smiled and said,""Master Wang, get up. Confucius is erudite, and it is not a false biography. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't expect you to see it so clearly so quickly. It's a blessing for our Great Han to have such a scholar.”
Seeing the two of them flattering each other, Liu Qingping said,""Hmm, you two are really shameless. Are you flattering each other in front of so many people and elevating yourselves?”
Wang Chong stood up and said seriously," Miss Liu, you're wrong. The reason why I'm like this is because His Highness not only expressed the 'Book of Rites, Music, and Archery' in all the books, but also got a full seven points. Moreover, the content was so far-reaching that it could not help but make people excited.”
Liu He stood quietly in front of the wall with his hands behind his back. Hearing Wang Chong's words, he couldn't help but look pleased.
"Full?" Dou Tao was surprised. Why can't I tell?"
"Don't worry, Miss Dou. I'll explain it to you." Wang Chong chuckled.”
Mu Weizhou was also confused. He craned his neck to listen to Wang Chong.
"The Crown Prince is singing while writing. Old Wang did not dare to comment on how well she sang, but he wanted to talk about the content of the song. If Old Wang remembered correctly, the Crown Prince should be singing the 42nd verse of Laozi's Tao Te Ching.”Wang Chong cast a questioning look at Liu He as he spoke. After Liu He nodded with a smile, he continued," In the Tao Te Ching,'Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things', which is the foundation of mathematics. Therefore, Your Highness has already recorded the' number 'points. However, it would be false to say that Lao Wang admired him just based on this point. Old Wang felt that the most valuable part of the Crown Prince's song was later.‘Things may be damaged to gain, or to gain to lose. Lao Wang thought that what Laodan was trying to express in this chapter was that although the status of the monarch and the people were different, they were one in the country and complemented each other. This was something that many noble families did not know. If the Crown Prince could think of this during a banquet, he must have cultivated this thought in his mind, which was why Old Wang admired him.”
The smile on Liu Meng's face grew wider. Mu Weizhou saw this and thought that regardless of whether Liu Fu thought so or not, Old Wang's flattery was on point.
Wang Chong paused for a moment, then quickly walked to the wall covered in ink and continued,""Just now, it was said that His Highness the Crown Prince recorded two points,'Music' and 'Number'.”
When Dou Tao heard this, she blurted out,"Master Wang, why are all these words on the wall?" Why do I feel that many of them are lacking in pen and ink? Moreover, this wasn't the Tao Te Ching at all.”
"Miss Dou is right." Wang Chong smiled. However, did you feel that when the Crown Prince wrote, his writing was smooth and he enjoyed watching? What the Crown Prince wrote was not the Tao Te Ching, but the contents of the Book of Rites. If you are familiar with [Archery of Justice], you will find that the missing strokes and drawings won't affect your reading at all. Look here, it's 'The archery of the princes must be performed with the etiquette of the banquet', and here it's' The emperor uses archery to select officials.'”
In order to make Liu Meng's 'book' not stand, Liu Qingping deliberately said to Dou Tao and Wei Luan,"I don't think Liu Meng's 'book' counts at all. The words he wrote were neither official script nor seal script. Moreover, the style of writing was sloppy and lacked strokes. What kind of book could it be? Don't you think so?"
When Liu Meng heard this, he seemed to be unconvinced. He had been using this type of font for some time. He had compared it in private and found that not only was it easier to write in this way than the standard official script, but it also never affected reading. It took him half the time to write the same paragraph of text. He felt that this was definitely a good method for Xingwen. However, Liu Qingping couldn't think of a way to refute her.
Mu Weizhou heard Liu Qingping's words and knew that she was being shameless. Without thinking, he said,""Of course it counts as a book! Not only that, but he's also very calculative."
Liu Qingping looked at him and asked,"Which book?"”
Mu Weizhou could see that Liu Qingping was being shameless, so he retorted reflexively. Now that Liu Qingping was asking, he actually didn't have any explanation in his heart. Just as he felt that he was about to be humiliated, he suddenly had an idea and said,"You said that the Crown Prince's handwriting is neither official script nor seal script. Because what he wrote was neither official script nor seal script. What he wrote was the recently created…cursive script.”
However, Mu Weizhou's words were purely nonsense. Although Mu Weizhou knew that the traditional Chinese calligraphy consisted of official script, running script, regular script, cursive script, and so on, in his impression, cursive script was the kind of font that could not be seen at any time. The words that Liu Meng wrote looked more like running script. Then why didn't Mu Weizhou say that it was semi-cursive? Because he knew that after he finished speaking, he still had to explain. If he was talking about semi-cursive, he couldn't explain that he was " writing while walking ". That way, he wouldn't be able to fish in troubled waters. "Why do you say it's cursive script?" Mu Weizhou continued. Firstly, we have just started writing this font. It hasn't been finalized yet. We still have to continue to adjust it. Secondly, Qingping had just said that this kind of writing was more illegible than official script. Thirdly, look at the strokes of these words. Don't they look like leaves?”As he spoke, he even jumped to the wall and circled a lot of strokes for everyone to see. Then he added," It's precisely because cursive script was created in the first place that we've discussed it long ago. Today, we're going to tell you about this method of writing. We also hope that you can give us your opinions." Let's put it this way. When you give your opinions, you are one of the founders of this writing method.”
If anyone in the Sunset Smoke Hall felt that Mu Weizhou's three reasons were far-fetched, his final addition undoubtedly made this thought disappear. Because according to Mu Weizhou, if the people in the hall could acknowledge this writing style and provide suggestions, then they were the founders of this font. Although there weren't many people in Sunset Smoke Hall, they could be considered as the " middle and high-level intellectual " of the time. They knew the benefits of Liu Meng's calligraphy style. Of course, everyone knew that this kind of writing style was definitely more lively than official script. If the game was lost, they could play again. If the founder missed it, there was nowhere to go.
When Mu Weizhou finished, he saw that no one was talking, especially Wang Chong, whose eyes were shining and eager to try. He knew that he had succeeded this time. Then, he turned around and drew some more strokes on the wall with his hand. He even emphasized," Doesn't it look like grass?! Doesn't it look like grass?"
Liu Qingping seemed to be convinced by Mu Weizhou's nonsense. She pouted and said,"Alright, even if this is a type of font, it's only 'Li, She, Shu.' Adding the 'Le, Shu' in front, it's at most five points, the same as our Sister Dou.”
Hearing this, Mu Weizhou was at a loss for words. However, he saw Liu Meng laughing happily at the side. At this moment, Wang Chong said,"Everyone, follow me to the wall with the target."”
No one knew what Wang Chong was up to, so they all followed him to the wall beside the target. As soon as she stood up, she heard Dou Tao shout,"Chasing Water Song!"
It turned out that when everyone was far away, they could see clearly that when Liu Wei wrote "Shooting Justice", he deliberately arranged the sentences in different vertical and horizontal positions. From afar, they formed three words-- Chasing Water Song was one of the Six Imperial Skills.
Liu Qingping was also speechless. Although Mu Weizhou didn't know what the "Chasing Water Song" was, he knew that Liu Meng had obtained a full score. He laughed happily and kept making faces at Liu Qingping.
Liu Meng's performance this time seemed to have won a full score, but in fact, it made everyone in the hall have a deeper understanding of him. This weak and weak youth, the young heir to the throne of Dahai, actually managed to get full points through this method. If he didn't have a deep understanding of the Six Arts, how could he perform such a performance in such a short period of time? In the era of imperial power, whether the emperor himself had true ability or not often determined the order and chaos of an era. Even if the later civil service system restricted the imperial power, the influence of a wise emperor on the country and the people was fundamental. At this moment, the game in the Sunset Smoke Hall seemed to have predicted something. Wang Chong's kowtow just now wasn't that abrupt.
Everyone returned to the ground. Wang Chong announced that the score on both sides was ten to nine, with the Crown Prince leading. Mu Weizhou and Liu Wei were very proud of themselves.
Liu Qingping stood up and said indifferently,""What's so great about it? We can just get a full point.”As he spoke, he gestured to Wang Chong and the others in a few special positions. Then, he picked up the pipa at the side and played it as he walked. Mu Weizhou listened carefully and realized that Liu Qingping was playing Yi Ai. She was singing the same lyrics that Wang Chong had just read, but with two more verses. At this moment, Mu Weizhou already knew that Liu Qingping's posture just now must be some kind of etiquette. Now that she was singing "Ai Yi", there was no need to mention the three points of "etiquette, music, and archery". Compared to Dou Tao and Wei Luan, Liu Qingping's singing was completely different. The occasional Guangling accent was like a small hand scratching you, making you suddenly feel very comfortable. Mu Weizhou looked at Liu Qingping, who was walking and dancing in the hall, and listened to the "ding ding dong dong" sound of the pipa. A sense of serenity rose in his heart. He did not notice that Liu Qingping had already finished singing.
Seeing that Liu Qingping had finished singing, Mu Weizhou suddenly felt a little disappointed. Because Liu Qingping had just said that she wanted to get a full point, Mu Weizhou felt that everyone present would think that she could get a full point. Now, it seemed that Liu Qingping could not take all the points. At most, she could only take half. Just as he was thinking, Liu Qingping had already finished playing and singing. She stood there quietly, as if she was watching an archer who was tall and slender and had beautiful eyes walk away after shooting.
It was not until the last note disappeared in the air that Wang Chong said loudly,""Max Points!"
Wang Chong's " full point " made Liu Qingping happy, and Mu Weizhou fell. "Why?" he asked hurriedly. She only bowed and sang a song about archery. It wouldn't be more than three o'clock, right?”
Wang Chong chuckled." It seems like Weizhou was too engrossed in Qingping's song to notice. Look down."”
Mu Weizhou followed Wang Chong's advice and looked down. He didn't know when, but there was an Eight Trigrams diagram on the ground. Other than the Yin Yang fish in the middle being replaced by some distant stripes, the eight directions of the hexagram were no different from the normal "Qian Kun Zhen Xun, Kan Li Gen Dui". Mu Weizhou then remembered that Liu Qingping must have moved her feet when she was playing the pipa. Now that he thought about it, the way she walked back and forth was similar to the way Fuxi performed the divination. He really didn't expect Liu Qingping to complete these actions unconsciously.
"Qingping's design is truly ingenious," Wang Chong said. When he played and sang, he not only drew the Eight Trigrams, but also wrote the character 'Yu' in seal script. Not only did he do it in one go, but he did it without a sound. Lao Wang really did not expect this.”
Only then did Mu Weizhou understand that what replaced the Taiji Diagram in the middle was not some distant stripes, but the seal script of the word " control ". Therefore, Liu Qingping easily obtained the three points of "Imperial, Book, and Mathematics." Thinking of this, Mu Weizhou nodded deeply at Liu Qingping, who was still standing in the middle of the Eight Trigrams, and said,""Good!"
Liu Qingping heard Mu Weizhou's agreement and lightly moved to her side. She said in a provocative manner,""How is it, Big Brother Mu, it's your turn. If you can't master all six arts, then lead them to drink tea.”After saying that, he smiled and turned around to stand with Dou Tao and Wei Luan.
