Xiang Zhong had no choice but to read the book carefully again, and finally came up with another brand-new angle:
"There is a certain positive correlation between the 'gift' differences brought about by the development of coastal areas and the different economic structures of the inland areas, and the development of local humanistic characters."
Of course, the "assignment" submitted to the dental master cannot be written like this. Firstly, he cannot understand it; secondly, he will be hit on the head by the book again! It's better to show some sincerity.
"There is something to be said for studying Liu's book etiquette
Ritual means etiquette. Pretend it is something and devote your whole heart and soul to it. However, the progress of things and the consequences of rituals are no more than those who give gifts and those who receive gifts. If something is given to you, something will be asked for. If you want to take it, you must give it first. Therefore, the payment of gifts is actually an exchange of benefits. Weigh the power of giving and receiving. If a person is low and seeks a high, the courtesy must be generous; if a high is conferring to a low, the courtesy can be given according to one's nature.
The thickness of the gift depends on how generous and frugal it is, what to give, how much to give, when to give it, who to give it to, how to package it, how the recipient likes it, if it is accepted, what can be done next; how to save face when being rejected, etc. All of them are complex and detailed, and every detail is knowledge.
If the courtesy is agreeable, both parties will be happy, and the friendship will last forever; if the courtesy is inappropriate, it is better not to give it at all.
If you don’t give the gift, you are especially blameless; if you give it because you hate it, the recipient will feel humiliated and become filled with hatred. It is unknown how many disasters will follow!
Throughout China, China is rich in products and has a vast territory and a prosperous population.
The preparation of gifts by each country especially shows the strength of its country.
Those whose real estate is rich will have many kinds of gifts and good quality; those whose real estate is poor, their gifts will only care about people's livelihood.
However, the abundance of things reflects the self-confidence of the people: rich people such as Bashu and Nanchu are rich in leather, abalone, bamboo and wood; Yuzhang and Panyu are full of gold and tortoise shells; while in the north, the poor are poor, and in Western Qin and Long, corn is too hard to grow. ; Zhao Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Liang Dynasty, beautiful ladies and gentlemen. There are beautiful things, beautiful things, beautiful people, and bright people. They are all sincere, not tired of their generosity, and worthy of their simplicity. They are all the splendor of our country, which represents the delicacies of heaven and earth and highlights the virtues of people's hearts.
Therefore, if the etiquette is appropriate, it is the best etiquette and the best way to make everyone happy!
Turning conflicts into jade and silk, changing the world with courtesy, this is the luck of the people in the world! "
Xiang Zhong felt very proud of having written a long article, so he read it again. Satisfied, he carefully put it away and prepared to go to the book school the next day and submit the "second draft" to Master Guan Ya.
"I don't believe it anymore. I can handle Hu Tou'er's five drafts. How can you stump me with just two drafts? Hehe!"
Xiang Zhongxin was satisfied, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was well written. After lying in bed for a long time, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, he simply got up, took this article, and went to Brother Xiang Zheng to give him a "sneak peek" and, by the way, give him some advice.
At this time, it was past Xu hour, and Xiang Zheng had already fallen asleep. He heard someone knocking on the door, and from the shadow in the moonlight, he could tell that it was Xiang Zhong.
"Zhong'er, please come here this night. Is there something important?"
He lit candles, put on a large cloak, and opened the door to Zheng to welcome Xiang Zhong in.
"Brother, Master Guan Ya asked me to write an article. I'm so good at finishing it, so I sent it over quickly for my brother to review it and give me some opinions, okay?"
Xiang Zhong was not polite and went directly to the table, put the candle in Xiang Zheng's hand back into place, opened his "masterpiece" and let him see it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I have some beautiful articles that make you, my dearest son, come to you in the middle of the night without touching your bed. I want to give you a reward."
Xiang Zhong pushed Xiang Zheng to sit down and turned on the light for him to look carefully.
"Sure enough, he is really talented in literature! Zhong'er is already over the age of twenty-eight. His true talent makes my brother admire him with admiration!"
"Really? Haha, if that's the case, Master Guan Ya will definitely refuse me again!"
"Of course not! That's great!"
"Haha, okay, I'm relieved now! Goodbye, brother, vote soon!"
Xiang Zhong put away the article, rolled it up carefully, said goodbye, and happily returned to his bedroom to sleep.
Now I feel more at ease!
Once your heart is at ease, you will fall asleep very quickly. You will fall asleep in seconds and have a dreamless night until the rooster crows and the sky lights up.
The next day, after Guan Ya finished reading the second draft of the "assignment" submitted by Xiang Chong, he really praised this young student for his extraordinary insights!
"A boy can be taught! A boy can be taught!"
Passing this "homework" is just a stage of enlightenment for Xiang Zhong about "Studying to the East".
I heard that the states of Qi, Lu, Chen, and Cai in the east are all places where great sages gather. If you can follow the example of Master Guan Ya and go out to travel, the effect of studying will definitely be greater than just one. Learned from six masters.
Besides, if we say "their talents have been exhausted" to describe the six masters, for the current Xiang Zhong, their knowledge is indeed a bit conservative and outdated.
Coupled with Xiang Zhong's super learning ability, he felt the call from the Eastern sages day by day.
"It's been a long time since I went to see Confucius!"
Since Xiang Zhong was last invited to visit Confucius's Tibetan Chamber and his old mansion, it has been a long time since he had "played against a master".
Xiang Zhong secretly made up his mind to study eastward.
Studying abroad requires time and money.
Fortunately, he has both.
The only ones who were dissatisfied were the six masters. Because, as soon as he left, the six of them were "gloriously laid off."
But what can be done? Who prevents them from improving their teaching level?
When your child gets older, it’s time for him to venture out on his own!
When Xiang Xu heard Xiang Zhong's request, his first reaction was: This won't work. The child is so young and going out on a study tour alone. What should he do if something unexpected happens along the way?
However, Xiang Zhong repeatedly requested and swore that he would take good care of himself and ensure that during the study tour, he would not reveal his identity as Xiang Xu's son and travel as an ordinary scholar.
If he is really worried, you can also ask the two masters to "not be laid off for the time being" and accompany him:
"Zhao Huai is a master of imperial skills and Yang Feng is a master of archery. If the two masters go together, they can definitely keep my son safe, okay?"
Xiang Xu knew the martial arts skills of these two men clearly. After thinking about it again and discussing with Xiang Zhong's mother, he decided to let the children go out to practice!
"Thank you, grandpa!"
Xiang Xu was about to agree to their trip when he suddenly thought of someone else and asked Xiang Zhong:
"There is one, Master Wang Dan. Would you like to take him with you?"
"Of course it's good! I like it, I like it to the extreme!"
Xiang Xu has always been concerned about Wang Dan's "restart". Although he is old, don't worry too much about how to deal with various situations along the way, taking him with you!
Besides, the last time they paid tribute to brothers Zheng and Xiang Zhong, they were also fascinated by this Wang Dan.
"In that case, go ahead!"
