The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Time passes, and next year it will be my turn.

As soon as Su Mingyi left, Su Qingzhu ran to Guxia Mountain in the east city of Kyoto with the rare book in his pocket.

Guxia Mountain has beautiful scenery and is surrounded by mist, like a fairyland. The mountains are lush with trees and green grass, and the breeze brings the fragrance of the mountains and forests.

Su Qingzhu walked along the winding mountain road. The wild flowers on the roadside swayed gently in the breeze, as if welcoming his arrival.

Panting, I finally reached the top of the mountain. Without even having time to catch my breath, I excitedly looked down at the mountain.

Su Qingzhu had never felt the view from the top of the mountain was so broad as it was today. Below the mountain, the city was arranged in an orderly manner like a chessboard, which was refreshing.

Su Qingzhu slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement, staring closely at the pavilion on the top of the mountain that was shrouded in clouds and mist and looming. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident and slightly cunning smile - this place was exactly his destination this time.

Su Qingzhu remembered clearly that he had just become a minor official in the capital with the help of the Marquis of Zhenguo, and he came to participate in the literary gathering just to show off his culture and broaden his horizons.

Who would have known that it was during that visit that Su Qingzhu, for the first time in his life, suffered the cold words and wanton ridicule from that group of arrogant and self-important teachers and students, which made him feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

At that time, Su Qingzhu could only choose to remain silent and endure with a red face and full of shame. At that time, Su Qingzhu secretly vowed to find an opportunity to avenge his previous humiliation.

And today, he finally got a good chance to hold his head high!

Thinking of those people who had ridiculed him in public, Su Qingzhu couldn't help but feel contemptuous, thinking to himself: "Hehe, you guys are blind and unrepentant, you will regret it in the future! I will just enjoy this grand scene alone, why would I invite you to appreciate this rare and unique book with me?"

Thinking of the excitement, the corners of his mouth curled up in pleasure. Su Qingzhu couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the solitary copy hidden in his sleeve, his heart filled with pride.

At this moment, Su Qingzhu began to imagine the scene in his mind where the teachers and students would look surprised and envious when he took out the unique copy later, and he suddenly felt extremely comfortable.

Su Qingzhu arrived too early and there was no one on the top of the mountain, but this did not affect Su Qingzhu's joyful mood of enjoying the scenery at all.

Su Qingzhu looked down at the Guxia Academy hidden at the foot of the mountain, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

The reason why Guxia Mountain is so famous is not only because of its beautiful natural scenery, but what is even more praised is the Guxia Academy located halfway up the mountain.

What makes Guxia Academy unique is that when it recruits students, it does not pay attention to the students' origins, wealth, or family background. The focus of the assessment from beginning to end is each person's own knowledge, attitude towards learning, and moral character.

It can be said that if the principal of Guxia Academy was not the world-famous scholar Mr. Leng Zihan, perhaps this academy would have been unable to survive and would have been forced to close or change its original intention.

After all, in this real world, power and interests are often the key factors that dominate everything.

Guxia Academy is famous and powerful, attracting countless talented men and beautiful women from all over the world.

Seeing how successful Guxia Academy was, other academies naturally did not want to be outdone and did not want it to monopolize the limelight.

As a result, Guxia Academy often had to face challenges from some self-important so-called "talented people" who came to its door.

These people came one after another to cause trouble, seriously affecting the normal order of Guxia Academy and making it impossible for students to study with peace of mind.

Faced with this situation, Guxia Academy simply decided to designate the tenth day of every month as the Guxia Literary Gathering Day.

On this day, Guxia Academy will meet friends through literature at the Yunwu Pavilion on the top of Guxia Mountain and face the challenges of scholars from all over the world.

Since then, the tenth day of every month has become a major event in the capital. Countless students will flock to Yunwu Pavilion on this day to participate in this grand and lively poetry event.

When the Imperial College, Mingde Academy, Qingyun Academy and Baiyun Academy learned the news, their original indignation was replaced by pride and disdain.

There is no other reason, it’s just because they firmly believe that the students under their tutelage are in no way inferior to those of Guxia Academy.

Therefore, they often sent their best students to challenge and compete with Guxia students.

As a result, almost all the literati and scholars were alarmed, and everyone was full of expectations and attention to this battle between dragons and tigers.

The entire capital city seems to be immersed in a strong cultural atmosphere on the tenth day of every month. People flock to Guxia Mountain to find the best location and look forward to witnessing this wonderful literary feast with their own eyes.

For a time, many young talents with high spirits were eager to try, and they engaged in round after round of brilliant, thrilling and exciting poetry and couplet competitions with each other.

During this period, countless amazing and wonderful words emerged like stars in the sky, and some of them were so exquisite that people couldn't help but applaud and praise them again and again.

These popular sentences and poems were not only widely spread in the local area, but their influence even spread far beyond the city, eventually becoming famous sentences that are known to every household and will be remembered forever.

The Yunwu Pavilion, which was once unknown and little-known, has become increasingly famous because of these unique and extraordinary poetry gatherings, attracting more and more literati and poets who are interested in art, and everyone wants to experience the unique charm of this cultural feast for themselves.

Precisely because of this, those arrogant and self-important young scholars, those students who are eager to stand out and show their talents, and those Confucian scholars who want to become famous and leave their names in history, all regard Yunwu Pavilion as a platform and a shortcut to realize their ideals and ambitions.

All of this eventually led to the creation of Yunwu Pavilion.

The place where Yunwu Pavilion is located is famous for its unique natural scenery and profound cultural heritage, and has become one of the most famous attractions in the capital.

As the saying goes, "A mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is not famous because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there."

Although the Yunwu Pavilion is not magnificent, it is surrounded by misty clouds, like a fairyland on earth, giving people a feeling of mystery and tranquility.

As Liu Yuxi said, "This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant." Even if you are in a simple place, as long as your mind is noble, you can feel the extraordinary beauty.

Walking into the Yunwu Pavilion, you can see moss climbing up the stone steps and green grass coming into view. Here, people can talk about the world with like-minded friends and exchange their views without being disturbed by vulgar people. In their spare time, they can play a simple guqin, read precious scriptures, and stay away from the hustle and bustle and troubles of the world.

The mist here is so beautiful that people will linger on. Everyone who comes here will be shocked by the uncanny workmanship of nature and infected by the rich culture.

The Yunwu Pavilion does not need to be magnificent and beautiful, but just by relying on the couplets on the four sides of the pavilion, it naturally becomes the favorite of literati and poets.

East-facing couplet:

First Couplet: Standing at the mountain gate and overlooking Feilai Peak, it is surrounded by clouds and mist, and seems like a gathering of immortals.

Second line: Listen to the melodious music played by the cold spring and the monks gathered to meditate.

West-facing couplet:

First Couplet: The mountains are connected to the Five Sacred Mountains, surrounded by mist and clouds, and the layers of hills and winding ravines are like thousands of paintings.

Second line: Water meets the waves of Dongting Lake, flying boats sing in the evening, misty rain and clear breeze bring poetry for hundreds of miles.

South-facing couplet:

First Couplet: Climbing the mountain to enjoy the view, mist and clouds are flying, and the hundred-mile Emen Plain is covered with beautiful scenery.

Second line: Standing in the stream and listening to the waves, the thunder and the tiger roar, the thousand-foot-high waves compete with each other for the wind.

North-facing couplet:

First Couplet: Auspicious clouds hang over the mountains, the clouds are billowing and the sky is bright, all things compete for brilliance and add to their splendor.

Second line: A beautiful sun hangs over the door, the sun is warm and the wind is gentle, and the peaks compete in beauty to create a spectacular sight.

Of course, Su Qingzhu couldn't appreciate all this.

However, he has a unique copy - "Taixuan Yi Zhuan"!

Ever since he obtained Taixuan Yichuan, Su Qingzhu, who had only heard of the name, has specially inquired in detail about the true value of Taixuan Yichuan.

The "Book of Changes", as the first of the Six Classics, is also known as the "Book of Changes" and has long become a prominent subject.

During the Tang Dynasty, the inclusion of the Book of Changes in the imperial examinations made its importance increasingly prominent.

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, people who have been interested in and studied the Book of Changes have been endless, and the study of the Book of Changes has gradually become an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture.

Especially since the middle Tang Dynasty, and especially after Ouyang Zhan passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, the vulgar people in Quanzhou who originally wore turbans began to change into scholar's clothes and began to read and study. The cultural atmosphere became increasingly strong, and against this background, the study of Yijing gradually flourished.

According to historical records, during the Tang and Five Dynasties period, the work on Yixue research in Quanzhou included "Da Yi Bi Zheng Shu" written by Chen An; in the Northern Song Dynasty, the number increased to 5; in the Southern Song Dynasty, the number reached 27; and in the Yuan Dynasty, only 1 related work was published.

During the Ming Dynasty, the study of Yijing in Quanzhou reached its peak, with as many as 110 recorded works on Yijing!

However, the early Qing Dynasty basically continued the situation of the Ming Dynasty, and there were still a considerable number of Yixue research results, but in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Yixue research in Quanzhou gradually declined. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, there were 64 Yixue books written by Quanzhou people in the history books, which was not only incomparable to the Ming Dynasty in terms of quantity, but also far behind in terms of quality.

In ancient times, Quanzhou's research on Yijing has attracted much attention in four important stages:

Southern Song Dynasty: Li Zhongzheng was a typical figure at this time. He advocated interpreting the Book of Changes through history. This method closely combined the study of Yijing with history, making the understanding of the Book of Changes more profound and broad.

Mid-Ming Dynasty: Cai Qing led the trend in this period, advocating the use of "reason" to explain the Book of Changes. This method emphasizes rational thinking and logical reasoning, allowing people to understand the mysteries of the Book of Changes from a philosophical perspective.

Late Ming Dynasty: Li Zhi became a representative figure of this period. He proposed to interpret the Book of Changes with the "heart". This view holds that people's inner feelings and experiences are the key to understanding the true meaning of the Book of Changes.

Early Qing Dynasty: Li Guangdi used "nature" to interpret the Book of Changes. He linked human nature with the Book of Changes and tried to reveal the moral and ethical concepts contained therein.

The research in these four stages each has distinct characteristics. Together, they demonstrate the pinnacle level of research on Yijing in ancient Quanzhou, and also become the key clue for us to gain an in-depth understanding of the development process of Yijing in ancient Quanzhou.

The work "Taixuan Yi Zhuan" is unique because it is dedicated to interpreting the Book of Changes with history.

The Supplement to the General Catalogue of the Complete Library of the Four Branches of Literature points out that using history to prove the Book of Changes is not a new idea. As early as the Song Dynasty, Li Guang and Yang Wanli had become models of this kind of interpretation. However, the fact is that the "Miaohe" chapter in the Mawangdui Silk Book can be called a pioneer, and its historical origins are profound and long; and considering the Book of Changes as a historical record of the Yin and Zhou dynasties, this book is undoubtedly a pioneer. From this perspective, this work will definitely occupy an important position in the evolution of Yixue.

Li Zhongzheng used history to interpret the Book of Changes. First, he used a lot of events from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to interpret the Book of Changes. This method of interpreting the Book of Changes involved events that were close to the time when King Wen of Zhou evolved the Book of Changes, which helped to understand the meaning of the hexagrams.

Dong Hong of the Song Dynasty mentioned in his "Taixuan Yi Zhuan? Postscript": "Taixuan Yi Zhuan truly comprehended the intentions of the three saints, and was not limited to trivial exegesis. It made a great contribution to our moral doctrines... There are dozens of places where it uses events from the Yin and Shang dynasties to explain the events."

For example, when interpreting the ninth and fifth lines of the Tun hexagram, Li Zhongzheng pointed out:

The Nine-Five Yao is in the supreme position with masculine energy, but it is in a difficult and dangerous situation. He can neither accept all the princes and share the benefits with the people of the world, which makes the Nine-Nine hesitate and stick to the right path to win the support of the people; at the same time, he cannot get close to the ministers and use their power as an aid, which makes the Six-Four horse wandering and wanting to go to respond to the Nine-Nine. In this way, the emotions between the upper and the lower cannot be communicated, and the grace and grace cannot benefit the people. This is the symbol of "Tun Qi Gao".

If you are just a monarch of a small country, do not infringe on the power of the monarch to win the hearts of the people, and regard this behavior as loyalty, then you will inevitably encounter danger. Doesn't this violate the principle of "great loyalty"?

How can one be considered glorious and great if one is unable to provide strong relief and charity to save his people when they are in dire straits?

The Kan hexagram represents clouds but no rain has fallen yet, which has the image of "stockpiling the fat".

This hexagram reflects the social conditions at the end of the Shang Dynasty.

In this way, Li Zhongzheng closely linked the hexagram text with the history of the late Shang Dynasty.

In addition to the events of the Shang Dynasty as the main line, Li Zhongzheng's interpretation of the Book of Changes based on history also widely cited many historical events from the era of Yao, Shun and Yu to the Han and Tang dynasties.

For example, when interpreting the first six lines of the Kun hexagram, he said: Tian's usurpation of Qi's political power originated from the hegemony of Duke Huan of Qi; the division of the territory by the six nobles of Jin began with the rise of Duke Wen of Jin; Zhao Gao's treachery and cunning were lurking during the reign of Qin Shihuang; Dou Xian's rebellion originated during the reign of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu; Sima Yi's disaster was conceived during the reign of Cao Cao; and the Five Barbarians' Rebellion was rooted in the war after the pacification of Wu. These were not noticed when they were at their most prosperous.

The historical examples cited here involve multiple periods including the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties.
