Although he was excited to take the imperial examination again, Song Mu felt very relieved at the moment.
The scenes during the imperial examination flashed through his mind, and he worked hard for an article. The smile that appeared on his face involuntarily every time he started writing immediately appeared in Song Mu's mind.
Song Mu felt even more relaxed for a moment and couldn't help but start writing. The theme of today's article is a word that appeared in his ancestor's article, Bing Wen Jing Wu.
This idiom comes from Shen Yue of the Southern Dynasty's "The Imperial Edict of Wang Liang and others", which means that he is both civil and military and can be a trusted minister. However, in the ancestors' articles, there are various interpretations of this time.
The ancestor Song Kedi said that if a literati wants to be able to practice literature, practice, and martial arts, both morality and intelligence are indispensable.
The ancestor Song Shenglong said that there is no distinction between literature, scriptures and martial arts. The two can only be reached by those who have a broad mind and a far-sighted vision.
In the articles written by our ancestor Song Wenrong, adhering to literature and martial arts is not the rule of human ministers, but the rule of scholars. If you want to succeed, you must follow Confucianism sincerely.
What several ancestors have said is that they all follow the same path. If a person wants to be both civilized and military, he must abide by his actions and his heart. Both are indispensable.
It's just that the level of the articles written by several ancestors is equal. Song Mu also felt quite emotional after reading it. Practicing literature and martial arts is the greatest hope for a literati throughout the ages. Such people have been heroes for thousands of years.
Therefore, Song Mu is also preparing to discuss this article today, but his thoughts are different. Perhaps because of the changes in the times, Song Mu gave a simpler explanation for it.
Bingwen Jingwu has a broad meaning and thousands of actions. As for the words of scholars, they all start with words to convey the Tao.
Only those who can firmly believe in writing to convey the Tao in their hearts, and can write in practice to convey the Tao, and who firmly believe that the power of articles and poems can prove the Tao, will be able to be talented in literature, scripture, and martial arts.
Song Mu didn't know where the idea came from. He just felt that when he wrote these four words, he felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart.
The four characters "Wen Yi Zaidao" come from "Tongshu·Wenci" written by Zhou Dunyi in the Song Dynasty.
It says: The article carries the Tao. The wheel shaft is decorated but the person is not mediocre, it is only decorated, it is like a useless car.
The meaning is simple and clear. The purpose of writing an article is to explain the truth.
Only here, Song Mu extended its meaning. Confucianism and Taoism were founded on thousands of magnificent articles and poems. It was precisely because of the writings of literati that literature and Taoism prospered.
Therefore, in today's world, Confucianism and Taoism are prosperous. If we want to practice literature and martial arts, we can only respect literature and good writing.
In this way, Song Mu's thoughts were clear for a while. Although the four words "Wen Yi Zai Dao" were still copied by himself, this time Song Mu felt magnanimous and expressive.
During the past forty years, I have been in this strange environment, reading with books in hand, writing under the eucalyptus, reading a lot of books about ancient and modern times, and forgetting to sleep and eat to write thousands of articles.
At this moment, countless fragments were flashing through Song Mu's mind, and the principles of the articles he had written before were passing before his eyes. It's just that this time, Song Mu just acted haphazardly and had no idea to mix it all up. .
As a result, Song Mu's eyes became brighter, and he seemed to be more certain when he wrote. The article was written eloquently in an instant without any alteration.
As I was writing this, there was a thunderstorm outside the window, but changes were slowly taking place in Song Mu's thatched house.
The words written on the tip of the pen began to flicker with light, and after the light dispersed, countless literary energy spurted out.
There seemed to be changes everywhere in the world. The mist in the mountains and forests was rising, moving without the wind, and now it was heading towards Song Mu's thatched hut.
The surging clouds and rain around seemed to have changed because of this. There was no longer a flash of lightning, but the literary energy gradually gathered and turned into layers of clouds and mist, which began to fall low and float over the hills.
The rich literary spirit is clearly visible and can be grasped with a hand.
The entire sky is filled with milky white literary spirit, which is surging in it, and in that thatched house, more literary spirit is revealed from the paper.
But Song Mu, who was sitting there, didn't know all this. At this moment, he just kept immersed in writing. The literary energy around him continued to gather at this time, and finally turned into a monstrous literary vortex at the next moment.
The vortex was turning, the wind was moving in the thatched house, there was a roaring noise all around, and the strong wind was blowing by, but Song Mu remained unmoved.
At the next moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed in the sky.
It was a faint blue light that broke through the dense clouds of literature at this moment, revealing a brilliant color like purple electricity.
But before the blue light disappeared, a red light flashed the next moment.
The red light quickly overshadowed the faint blue light, and at this moment it was rippling straight towards the surrounding heaven and earth, and the light moved through the wind and clouds, and the next moment it revealed its appearance in the heaven and earth.
It was actually the Jie Ze Pearl.
At this moment, Jieze Pearl, which was in the core of Tianxing, could not stop the surging light around it. The flames in it had transformed into the human form again. Looking down this time.
Looking at the thatched hut whose roof had been blown away by the strong wind of Wenqi, and Song Mu who was sitting in it, concentrating on writing an article on a scroll of paper, the flames on the Jize Pearl jumped a little.
It's just that the light from the stars continues to shine out, and even a strange rhythm comes from the article written by Song Mu, which can make him involuntarily shine out.
Ji Zezhu looked down with some surprise, but as the blue light and red light flashed past, this time the atmosphere below changed again.
The literary energy that had already gathered into a whirlpool began to reveal various strange phenomena. It was countless volumes of pen and ink, and as it was flipped, countless words condensed with literary energy were revealed.
These words rolled and flickered in it, and the vortex of the words became more turbulent, and then at the next moment, the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, but a huge virtual image condensed by dense white vapor appeared.
It was an old man, wearing a long robe, holding a scroll in his hand. Standing between the greenery of heaven and earth, he suddenly stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and slowly unfolded the scroll.
The next moment, the sound of reading suddenly came, and there were countless proverbs in it, which were circulating in the world at this moment, and every time a sentence was read, Ji Zezhu felt that the power in her body was being taken away.
At the same time, the world outside the foreign realm has also changed.
Virtual images of various figures condensed in the sky all over the Jiuzhou sky. At this moment, these virtual images were like those in a foreign land. After stroking his beard, he unfolded the book in his hand and began to read slowly.
Every sentence of ancient sayings spread between heaven and earth. The common people looked up and were amazed, but the scholars were stunned when they heard it.
"Why do these sentences seem to come from the Four Books and Five Classics?"
"And these sentences sound strange. This is..."
Among the various poetry sects, the saint has walked out of the hall, and the sky is facing the white clouds in the sky.
"This is a vision of promotion. Who has entered the realm of great Confucianism?!"
"The sky is full of Sanskrit sounds, and every sentence is actually my Confucian motto. Quickly find out who did it?!"
On this day, the void in the sky lasted for several hours, and thousands of Sanskrit sounds continued to fall. The literati everywhere in the Wen Dynasty were extremely shocked when they heard it.
On this day, it was spread everywhere in the Wen Dynasty that another great Confucian might appear in the Wen Dynasty. Such visions volleyed in the sky, which meant he could write a great article on enlightenment, and the blessings of the Wen Dynasty would last forever.
