Chapter 150 Three Xu Kaitai
If we talk about the most famous literary world in Zhejiang recently, Xu Yan is naturally the one who is not the one who is famous.
One beautiful poem after another can be easily picked up, and it will bring the limelight out.
The song "If Life Is Only Like the First Meeting" written on Broken Bridge Gui Collection has pushed him to a new level.
Countless talented men and celebrities came to join Xu Yan.
Gushan Academy became lively for a while.
Xu Yan was naturally happy to see this.
Gushan Academy is a typical place where strength is greater than fame. All the seniors in the academy are talented and speak nicely. He likes to stay in it very much.
Xu Yan is quite proud to be able to reliably bring the Gushan Academy to the point where his senior brothers are exposed to some fairy spirit.
More and more people come and become more famous.
Until one day, Zongchen and Xu Zhongxing came together, which surprised Xu Yan.
Neither of these two people are ordinary people.
Xu Zhongxing was from Changxing, Huzhou and was born in the twelfth year of Zhengde.
Zongchen was from Xinghua, Nanzhili, and was born in the fourth year of Jiajing.
Although Xu Zhongxing was eight years older than Zongchen, the two had known each other for several years.
The two of them later passed the imperial examinations in the 29th year of Jiajing, and later formed an association with Wang Shizhen and others, known in history as the Seventh Sons.
The two of them came here to make friends with poetry and prose, and had a chat with Xu Yan.
Xu Yan naturally had no choice but to refuse and welcomed the two into the academy.
It was the golden autumn festival, and the ground was covered with golden flowers in the courtyard.
Is it so good to sit around the stone table and savor tea and recite poems?
Xu Yan still admired the poems of the two. After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to say, "Ziyu and Zixiang are both talented people. I wonder what I think about the current literary and poetry world?"
This question was exactly what the two of them wanted.
Xu Zhongxing was the oldest among the three. He took the lead in saying: "Now the literary world of the Ming Dynasty is very popular and has no masculinity. In the long run, it is worrying. In a certain opinion, if you don't write poetry, you will stop. If you write, you should follow the front dynasty. The so-called literature must be the Qin and Han dynasties, and poetry must be the prosperous Tang dynasties."
This view put forward by Xu Zhongxing is not unfamiliar with the Ming Dynasty.
Li Mengyang, He Jingming and others once advocated retro.
The latter seven sons are just a continuation.
But under this silence, it is very difficult to insist on putting forward this point of view.
Zong Chen nodded frequently when he heard this and continued, "Brother Ziyu said it well. Poetry and prose naturally have the flavor of poetry. Thinking about the whining verses sounded really disgusting."
Compared with Xu Zhongxing, Zongchen's viewpoint is more radical.
Because his idol was the poet Li Bai. Zongchen often imitated Li Bai's style and wrote poetry. Although it was impossible to make such a masterpiece that was famous throughout the ages, he also earned some fame during the Jiajing period.
Scholars can’t help themselves as they chat.
When Xu Zhongxing saw the beautiful autumn scenery, he chanted casually:
"The reeds are coming back in the autumn, and the river is coming back, and the rain is blooming. The sea and white clouds accompany you to stay at the bed, and the setting sun in the Central Plains stops.
One official has already been defeated by Tao Qianxing, and who is sorry for Song Yucai? Because I remember our peers in Yanshi, I will appear on stage every festival.”
Zongchen was not willing to be outdone and said in a deep voice:
"The Tianmen of Changhe will not be closed at night, when will the wine star be exiled to the world? I will be the king of five dou of golden stems and kill thousands of mountains in the south of the Yangtze River."
Seeing that the two of them were "surprising" and both stared at him, Xu Yan knew that he would not be able to do without taking out a masterpiece, so he pondered for a moment:
"The cormorant lotus leaves are filled with autumn smoke, and Taili Hutuo is connected everywhere.
Although the blue waves are like a mirror, the silver saddle is not as good as a boat if it is ten miles away.
The dike is the same as the Sui Garden, and the song is owed to Wu Ji to remember the lotus.
Don’t think about your homeland for no fish, the scenery in a foreign land is originally sad.”
After the three poems are finished, it is natural that comparisons are inevitable.
Xu Zhongxing, Xu Yan wrote a seven-character regulated verse, while Zong Chen wrote a seven-character quatrain.
Judging from the number of words, Zong Chen suffered a little loss.
But in terms of momentum, Zongchen's poems are not at all inferior.
His last sentence, "Killing thousands of mountains in the south of the Yangtze River by drunkenness" has a bit of Li Taibai's meaning.
Tsk, he is indeed a famous figure in history, indeed extraordinary!
After a discussion, the three of them looked at each other and smiled when they saw that they could not tell the difference.
"As my brother Shi is so talented at such a young age, his future is limitless."
Although Xu Zhongxing was only in his early thirties, he could be Xu Yan's father at the age of the Ming Dynasty. He had to survive for more than ten years before he gained his current fame, and Xu Yan became famous in Jiangnan at the age of fifteen or sixteen, so Xu Zhongxing said that.
Xu Yan hurriedly said, "Brother Ziyu praised me, I really feel ashamed."
Zongchen smiled and said, "Don't be humble at that time. There are not many people who can get Brother Ziyu to praise him."
Xu Zhongxing coughed awkwardly and said, "Zi Xiang, I want to stay in Hangzhou for a while, what do you think?"
Zongchen thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. Anyway, studying is just a study tour, and I just took the opportunity to discuss with Yishi."
Xu Zhongxing was overjoyed and then turned to Xu Yan: "As a good brother, I wonder if I can stay in Gushan Academy for a while?"
"This... there is no problem, but I have to ask the teacher."
Xu Yan did not say anything to death, after all, Mr. Qian had the final say in Gushan Academy.
“This is nature.”
Xu Zhongxing nodded and said, "Is the honorary teacher Mr. Xushan, Mr. Yangming's great disciple?"
“Yes.”
"No wonder he was so talented at the time. It turned out that he was a disciple of Wang Xue."
Zongchen suddenly realized the truth.
"I heard of Mr. Oyama's name when I was in Xinghua, but I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see it with my own eyes today."
"It's really a bit unfortunate. My master went to Lingyin Temple early this morning and I'm afraid he won't be back later."
Xu Yan quickly explained.
"It doesn't matter, we can wait."
Xu Zhongxing said as he talked.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and Zongchen took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "I heard that after the master of the ministry destroyed Shuangyu, he wanted to plow the courtyard and sweep the caves. He ordered the official navy to search the mountains and sweep the sea. This is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
Zongchen was a descendant of Zong Ze, a famous anti-Jin general in the Song Dynasty.
Perhaps because of the origin of family education, Zongchen not only belonged to the literary world, but also paid great attention to the border defense of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Southeast Sea Defense.
Zhu Wan's series of actions brought the disappearing momentum of the Ming army to reunite, so Zong Chen was naturally very excited.
To a certain extent, Zong Chen could not even be regarded as a pure literati. He even organized people to fight against the Japanese during his tenure in Fujian.
"It will take three feet of ice to freeze in one day. It will take time to eradicate the Japanese invasion in the southeast, but Xu believes that as long as the court trusts the master of the ministry, the Japanese invasion will be eradicated sooner or later."
As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
Turning his head and looking at him, who is it not Xu Wei?
"Why is Wen Chang coming?"
Xu Yan stood up and greeted him with a smile.
When Xu Wei saw that there were still people in the yard, he was stunned.
"What are these two?"
"I forgot to introduce it to Brother Wen. These two are friends whom I just made. This is Brother Ziyu, and this is Brother Zixiang."
Xu Yan led Xu Wei to the two of them and introduced them one by one.
