"A young man has his own youthful madness. His body is like a mountain and his backbone is straight. He dares to measure the sun and the moon again. I am the only young man at the moment..."
A rich, majestic and rough singing voice sounded.
The unique singing style confused the audience. What kind of show is this?
The singing continues...
"The sky is high and the sea is thousands of miles long. Chinese young people are high-spirited and work hard to be the pillars of society. They live up to their youth!"
Listening to it, it feels different.
This word, in particular, infinitely amplifies the role of youth, vividly displaying the unruly, dissolute, free, heroic, arrogant and self-improvement of youth.
"Okay, great, this word is written so well!"
"The body is as straight as the mountains and rivers, and as long as every young man can stand upright, why should I, Ming Dynasty, be unhappy!"
"I still like the phrase 'I dare to ask the world to test my edge, who can stop me from overcoming the thorns'. Even the world can fight, how domineering!"
"Don't you think the last sentence, 'The world laughs at me, I strive for self-improvement' is better? The spirit of self-improvement is the most powerful force. As the saying goes, he who conquers others is powerful, and he who conquers himself is strong!"
"It's weird when I first hear it, but it has a different meaning when I listen carefully. When I listen to it again, it seems like an infinite magic power is washing through my heart and giving me strength!"
"What's the name of this piece of music? It's really great. I must learn it!"
…
The people watching the ceremony were talking a lot, while the six ministers and nine ministers of the cabinet on one side looked at Mao Yuanyi and had thousands of questions to ask.
Mao Yuanyi immediately said: "Don't ask me, I only know the article at the beginning, which is the preface to the textbook of the martial arts hall. As for the music just now, I really don't know. I thought it was for the ceremony!"
"The preface was written by His Majesty, but I don't know about the music. Judging from the style, it should be written by His Majesty. Only Your Majesty has such great courage, grand layout, and big mind!"
"Okay, don't ask any more questions, let's talk about it later!"
As soon as Mao Yuanyi finished muttering, Chongzhen took two steps forward and scanned the audience.
"Everyone, what the students of the Jiangwu Hall just recited was the preface I wrote for the textbook of the Jiangwu Hall. This preface will be the first lesson of the Jiangwu Hall and will be customized! I named it "The Story of the Youth of the Ming Dynasty". "
"The music just played is also called "The Story of the Ming Dynasty". As a courtyard song of the martial arts hall, it is similar to a military song.
I hope that these two articles "The Youth of the Ming Dynasty" can inspire the young people of the Ming Dynasty to always make progress. "
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong!"
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, a sudden voice echoed throughout the ceremony.
Everyone looked around and saw a middle-aged man pulling a young man to his knees, kowtowing desperately, with a look of fear on his face.
The people around him immediately dispersed, looking at the father and son as if they were savage beasts.
"Get up!"
Chongzhen raised his hand and asked curiously: "Tell me what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, you said that "The Youth of the Ming Dynasty" inspired young people throughout the Ming Dynasty, but there is only one martial arts hall in the entire Ming Dynasty, and there are only so many places in a year, and they are all talented people.
But the whole Ming Dynasty is mostly mediocre people, without the support of their parents, no money, no opportunities, and even not enough to eat. How easy is it to become self-reliant? "
As soon as these words came out, the whole scene of the ceremony immediately aroused the resonance of the children who had not entered the martial arts hall.
These words simply spoke to their hearts.
"In the Han Dynasty, Sun Jing hung beams and stabbed the buttocks, Zhu Maichen hung horns with salary, Kuang Heng chiseled walls to steal light, in the Jin Dynasty Che Yin and Sun Kang Nang Yingying reflected the snow, in the Northern Song Dynasty Ouyang Xiu painted the ground with Di, and Sima Guang log police pillows...
There are too many people who study hard like this. Some of these people are from poor families, some are from official families, etc. The environment is different, but the approach is the same, that is, hard work, self-reliance, and self-improvement!
Even if you come from a family of officials, ordinary people should work harder.
If you don’t work hard, what will your next generation do? What about the next generation? Have you ever thought that the families of officials you speak of were also from ordinary people a generation or two ago?
The allusions that Chongzhen picked up at random made the children stunned, but they were more confused and confused.
Seeing the confusion in the children's eyes, Chongzhen instantly knew what the problem was. After all, the children may not have heard of these allusions.
After pondering for a moment, Chongzhen said again: "Don't people all talk about fate? What is fate? What is luck? I think that fixed numbers are called fate, and variables are called luck.
For example, birth is fate. For some people, the moment they are born, they will reach the end point that some people will never reach after working hard throughout their lives.
For example, two children are from poor families. One studied hard for ten years and won the first prize. The other felt that studying was too hard and did nothing, so he became a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky.
This means that the starting point is the same but the end point is different.
This is variable and luck!
There are only fixed numbers and no variables, so what else are you trying to do? What is the purpose of studying hard for ten years?
In a person's life, don't fight with fate, but fight with luck. This process is what I call accepting fate and cultivating luck!
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and those who love to work hard will win!
As the old saying goes, as long as your thinking is not slipping, there are always more methods than difficulties! "
This time everyone suddenly understood what he said in the vernacular.
This was the first time they heard about fate and luck, and they were immediately refreshed.
At the same time, they also wondered, why haven't they heard the emperor's last old saying?
"Of course, you are right. There is only one martial arts hall and the number of places is limited, but self-improvement does not necessarily require entering the martial arts hall.
There are three hundred and sixty professions, and the number one in each profession will be the best. As long as you are among the top 100 in each industry, you will all be the best.
If you can't enter the martial arts hall, you can study crops. If you develop a fertilizer that can increase the yield per mu to five stones, how many people will it benefit?
How many people have to bear your kindness? It is not an exaggeration to call you the divine farmer of the world.
If you study machine manufacturing and create a machine that can travel hundreds of miles a day to facilitate everyone's travels, etc., it will still benefit the people.
It is even said that as a cook, you come up with a delicious dish that improves the happiness of the people.
Waiting for something similar, you don’t have to be an official to be considered as contributing to the Ming Dynasty. As long as what you make is valuable, then it counts.
It is even said that if you are an ordinary citizen who abides by the law, pays taxes on time, and does not cause trouble to the yamen, you are considered to have made a contribution to the court! "
The emperor's words once again subverted the people's perceptions.
Can being a farmer or a cook be considered a contribution to the imperial court? Also called self-improvement?
On the contrary, it was all the thoughts in the eyes of Zhou Yuji and others on the side. The emperor said similar words when he was in Xi'an.
It is precisely what is said that there is no stability without agriculture, no wealth without industry, no life without business, four people have separate industries, and the country and people are enriched.
The reason why Chongzhen said so much was not to explain anything, but more to break the shackles in the hearts of the people.
Although he is suspected of being poisonous chicken soup, he believes that self-improvement is never wrong at any time!
"What I said, you all should go back and think about it carefully!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he walked to the gate and said, "Let's continue with the opening ceremony of the Martial Arts Hall. In addition to two pieces of "The Youth of the Ming Dynasty", I also wrote a couplet for the Martial Arts Hall!"
