When Empress Dowager Zhang Xian was in power in the previous dynasty, chamberlain Luo Chongxun asked Cai Qi, a Hanlin scholar, to write an article "Repairing Jingde Temple".
Because Cai Qi is "good at writing", that is to say, he is good at writing such articles, so many people ask him to write them.
Luo Chongxun said to Cai Qi: "If you are good at remembering, you should be involved in political affairs."
It means that if you write it well and you have finished it, Queen Mother Zhang Xian will let you be a member of the political affairs committee. But Cai Qi refused. After Luo Chongxun tried to persuade her, Cai Qi refused to write. In the end, Cai Qi was removed from the Imperial Academy, demoted from the capital, and finally left Mizhou. .
So when we talk about writing or not writing, this is what we mean.
Han Qi saw Zhang Yue's intention and took advantage of the situation to put forward this idea.
Han Qi asked Zhang Yue to write about the tower of Anguo Temple in Huangzhou.
It turned out that during the Tiansheng period, Han Qi's brother Han Ju was appointed magistrate of Huangzhou, and Han Ju arranged for Han Qi to study at the local Huguo Temple.
Unofficial history records that there were many rumors at that time. For example, when Han Qi was studying in the temple at night, two beautiful women came to flirt with him, but Han Qi did not let go of the scroll and was not affected at all. The two women finally said to Han Qi that they were Chu Guoling, who once followed Qu Yuan into the river, and now he has become an immortal. I heard that you are a gentleman who is not alarmed by changes and is calm in his pregnancy, so I came to give it a try.
When I saw you today, it turned out to be true. You, Han Qi, can be the pillar of the country in the future.
Later, Han Qi became a Jinshi, and he left an unforgettable memory of the place where he studied when he was young.
Last year, in order to express gratitude to Han Qi for helping him rise to power, today's people renamed Huangzhou Huguo Temple Anguo Temple, and allocated funds from the treasury to build a pagoda in the name of Han Qi. For Han Qi, What an honor that is.
Now that the pagoda was about to be completed, Han Qi asked Zhang Yue to write an article to record such a grand ceremony.
Han Qi originally asked Ouyang Xiu, the world's best essayist, and Cai Xiang, the world's best calligrapher, to write Zhou Jin Tang Ji.
Zhang Yue is not as famous as Ouyang Xiu in terms of articles, and he is not as famous as Cai Xiang in terms of calligraphy. However, Zhang Yue is more famous than Cai Xiang in terms of articles, and he is more famous than Ouyang Xiu in calligraphy!
Although Zhang Yue is good at strategy and theory, the previous article he wrote while studying, "Zai Ci San Zhuan Jing Shu Shu", was also written in the form of prose, which is very touching.
Although he came from a poor background and struggled to study, his vigorous and vigorous spirit of learning and seeking knowledge made many readers who had the same experience burst into tears.
His writing style is also known for his "graceful and noble" style. When the last part of the article was written to praise the imperial court for establishing Taixue so that scholars like Zhang Yue from poor backgrounds could have a place, Emperor Renzong was even more impressed.
Emperor Renzong passed away, and someone in the palace spread his words. It is said that after Emperor Renzong read Zhang Yue's remarks, tears welled up in his eyelashes and he said to the people around him: "I saw what Fan Wenzhenggong called virtuous government today."
What Emperor Renzong was thinking about at that time was the legacy of Qingli's policy of promoting learning during Fan Zhongyan's reform.
Therefore, Zhang Yue thought that Han Qi valued his articles and writings because of this, not only to thank the emperor, but also to repay the late emperor for his kindness.
Han Qi had been planning this idea for a long time, and now he just had the opportunity to seize it.
It was a spring night. Standing in Zhang Yue's study, he saw the silence outside the courtyard. This was a good time to read and write at night.
When he was in Taixue, he spent many nights like this. At that time, he and Huang Lu and other classmates sometimes got tired of studying, so they sat in a place and talked about world affairs with tea instead of wine (drinking was prohibited in Taixue).
Scholars are frivolous, and they can't give advice even if they talk for three days and three nights.
No matter how outrageous it is, the interest in talking at night can be remembered for a lifetime. Now that I have entered politics, I no longer have the same mood as when I entered the officialdom. I am only busy with official duties.
It is no longer possible to talk to Huang Lu as honestly as he did when he was young. Even if the food is cooked with gold and the wine is brewed, I can no longer find the original interest in drinking tea instead of wine.
Now, when Zhang Yue came to the window, he could only sigh, "There are only two or three people in the world who can chat."
Zhang Yue walked around in the study for a while, and then wrote an article such as "The Tower of Anguo Temple" to Han Qi with this mood in mind.
Having said that, although Zhang Yue had never been to Huangzhou, it did not prevent him from writing this "Notes on the Tower of Anguo Temple" because Fan Zhongyan had never been to Yueyang Tower, and Sima Xiangru had never seen Shanglin Garden.
Anyway, a literati has a pen, and the entire text depends on editing!
After Zhang Yue picked up his pen and moistened the ink, he immediately wrote on the paper, "Huangzhou is the most remote place between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River. However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, many ministers and wise officials have lived in it..."
"For example, Wang Hanlin (Wang Yucheng) had Du Fanchuan (Du Mu) in his poetry, and people in the country still like to call him..."
Zhang Yue wrote a few words leisurely, first not writing about Han Qi, but mentioning famous people who lived in Huangzhou in the past as the starting point and foreshadowing of the article, and then he mentioned Han Qi.
"... When Han Gong was young and studying, he lived in Anguo Temple..."
The writing method of such an article is generally to set off the details at the beginning, and then slowly introduce the protagonist... Han Qi was studying in Anguo Temple. He also made fun of "Han Qi met a beautiful woman in the middle of the night while studying". As a scholar-official in ancient and modern times, Interesting facts are included in the text.
The spring night was extremely quiet, Zhang Yue did not sit on a chair, he just stood and wrote.
After Zhang Yue won the first prize, he never failed to read and write for ten hours in his dream. After two years of unremitting calligraphy practice, my calligraphy has made further progress.
However, Zhang Yue cherished his words like gold and rarely showed off his words. He had served in the Imperial Palace before serving at the Sutra Banquet, and after he was handed over to prison, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.
His writing and calligraphy are rarely seen.
Now Zhang Yue asked Han Qi to write this "Notes on the Pagoda of Anguo Temple", and his calligraphy, which had been out of sight for a long time, came to the world again.
The accumulation and precipitation in the past two years have changed Zhang Yue's mood.
In fact, the art of calligraphy writing, in addition to the training in childhood, the most important thing is the pattern formed by the vision and experience in adulthood.
This difference in pattern is what determines the final winner or loser of a master of writing and calligraphy.
It's such a slight difference, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
From being a scholar who was passionate about writing when he was young, to his current career experience, Zhang Yue's state of mind has gradually changed. Therefore, when he wrote this pagoda note for Han Qi, he was still a little unfamiliar at first, but he became more comfortable after that.
After writing about the reason why Han Qi built the tower, Zhang Yue continued to write about the grandeur of the tower...
This is also a description of the scene. Even an ordinary pagoda and temple must be described as how towering and majestic it is, because no one has seen how the pagoda looks like, but this paragraph must be used to describe the grandeur of the pagoda and temple to set off Han Qi's achievements. Incredible, the emperor's grace is so great.
This chapter uses four-character and four-character parallel prose as a parallel and elaborative sentence.
Just like when reading Yueyang Tower, it mentions the distant mountains, swallows up the Yangtze River, and the vast and endless water; the dawn and dusk, the weather and so on...
After all, Han Qi asked you to write an article to praise him, so he is entrusted by others and must write down his loyalty to others.
After Zhang Yue finished it in one go, the article entered the sublimation stage when it was written to the end.
Although Han Qi was praised before, here there must be admonishment within the praise.
If Han Qi commits suicide and falls in the future, he will definitely be implicated in writing articles for him, so he cannot be fully praised.
Zhang Yue wrote that he was young, had mediocre qualifications, and had no close friendship with Han Qi. He was not qualified to write such an eloquent article, but he could not help but feel frightened by Han Qi's entrustment.
"Han Gong's achievements can be described as high-toothed and large-scale, but they are not worthy of public honor; Huan Guigun's crown is not worthy of public honor." '
After writing this, Zhang Yue changed his writing style and put forward suggestions and even admonitions.
