Chapter 34 Eat tea and chat

He is elegant and has a moderate behavior, and has a similar ambitions. From the afternoon to the evening, County Magistrate Zhang's favor for the boy in front of him was slowly accumulating bit by bit. "That's right, there was a big change in the game of chess to the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. The chessboard that traverses the nineteenth line was established at this time. At the same time, the prosperity of chess in the Southern Dynasties really made people feel a yearning for it."

County Magistrate Zhang took the tea that had just been filled with it and took a sip, "In your opinion, why did chess chess so prosperous in the Southern Dynasty?"

If the previous one is just gossip, then the question of Zhang County Magistrate Zhang has a little bit of the meaning of taking the school exam. After all, as long as Tang Que said before, you can know it as long as you have read the book, but there is no final decision at the moment. It depends on the answerer's own comprehensive ability to analyze historical materials. This historical materials are not just Go-related historical materials, but involve the politics, economy and scholarly mentality of the entire Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. Therefore, when Zhang County Magistrate Zhang asked, Mr. Yan, who was talking next to him, stopped talking, and listened to Tang Que's answer, and Lin Xuezheng also read it with interest.

Tang Que did not expect that County Magistrate Zhang would have this question. Thinking about this question, this question is the same as the college exams in later generations. If you answer more, it would be the essay question, and if you only grab the tendons, it would be the short answer.

Tang Que took advantage of Yan, and Lin and others to add tea and replenish water to quickly organize the answer. After the tea was poured, they put the tea cup and sat down, and then slowly spoke: "According to students, there may be many reasons for the prosperity of Go in the Southern Dynasties, but the first thing that was hit was due to the hobbies and promotions of the upper class and the powerful. In "Preface to Chess", Shen Yue of the Southern Dynasties said that famous sages in the Han and Wei dynasties were born between the high-quality geniuses, and the famous geniuses of Jin and Song dynasties were in conflict with each other. This is not a false statement. Sima's family replaced Wei with the Jin Dynasty. As early as the end of the Han and the beginning of Wei, there were many people with prominent status and famous chess like chess. For example, Emperor Wu of Wei Cao was very good at chess, and the level of chess game was comparable to that of the famous players at that time. The seven sons of Jian'an represented by famous scholars at that time were also very good chess. Among them, Wang Can and Ying Yan wrote "Go Fu Xu" and "Yi Shi" in the chess arts special discussion" to this day."

"From the Wei to the Jin Dynasty, Go was even more popular and formed a unique style of famous chess. Ruan Ji, Pei Xia and other famous scholars like this. Since then, there have been many people who are good at chess in the most famous Wang Xie family in the Southern Dynasties. Wang Dao, Wang Yue, Wang Xizhi, Wang Tanzhi, Xie An and others are all famous players for a while. Not only Wang Xie, but almost all famous scholars at that time, such as Dade Zhi Dun, almost all of them are good at chess. The longest-time Wu Emperor Xiao Yan of the Southern Dynasties was even more addicted to chess and became obsessed with it. Every night, the so-called favors from the top, the lower the lower. These princes and nobles like this will definitely affect the entire storm trend. Therefore, it is not surprising that they are good at chess in the world." This was originally the answer that Tang Que took for granted, but the more he said, the more he was more certain.

Just like the history of literature, if princes and nobles strongly advocate a certain style of literature, this style will definitely have a huge impact on the creation of the entire literary world, and the prosperity of palace style poetry is the best example. Go is naturally no exception.

After Tang Que finished speaking the first one, he glanced at Master Yan. Seeing that Master Yan smiled and nodded with a smile, he immediately felt relieved. Although County Magistrate Zhang and Lin Xuezheng knew that Tang Que would definitely answer, he did not expect that he would answer this one. The answer itself was nothing, but when he thought about this one, the answer was actually revealed in a downward perspective of the answer, and it was particularly rare to think of the environment in which Tang Que lived.

County Magistrate Zhang smiled slightly, holding a teacup and said, "The argument is very high and the words are well-founded. This one is right, so you can continue to say it."

"As for the second point, it is because the political darkness and political chaos in the Southern Dynasties were frequent. From emperors to scholars and people, most of them had short lives and were in danger of peace. At that time, there was no way out. Scholars took Go to hide and hide in the world were also an important reason for promoting the prosperity of chess in the Southern Dynasties." Tang Que's article just finished speaking, Lin Xuezheng nodded in response, "Is there a third reason for what you mean?"

"Yes, according to students' thoughts, the third reason lies in Go itself, not only because of the chessboard that traverses and 19 lines, but also because of the promotion of 'chess'. As early as the three-legged tripod of Wei, Shu and Wu, the Wei man Handan Chun defined Go chess skills as the ninth grade in the "Chess" chapter of "Yi Jing" (the first is to enter the gods, the second is to sit and shine, three is to be specific, four is to be concise, five is to use wisdom, six is ​​to be small, seven is to be fighting power, eight is to be foolish, and nine is to be clumsy. It is precisely the emergence and implementation of this Go hierarchy system that makes the chess more competitive, stimulates the competition between chess players, and thus promotes the development and prosperity of Go in the Southern Dynasties."

The angle Tang Que stood in when answering this article was completely based on the perspective of later generations. From the perspective of later competitive sports, he discussed the prosperity of Go in the Southern Dynasties. This conflicted with the concept of Go in the concept of elegant and unrestrained Go in the concept of Zhang County Magistrate and others. So much so that the three of them thought for a long time after listening to it, and finally Zhang County Magistrate took the lead and said, "Nanye, what do you think?"

Nanye is Lin Xuezheng's name. After hearing the question from County Magistrate Zhang, Lin Xuezheng did not answer directly, but looked at Master Yan and said, "What do you think?"

"A novel argument can be considered a one-man statement." Mr. Yan looked at Tang Que as he spoke, and there was a warning in his eyes. "However, according to the words of Confucius and Mencius on chess, the true meaning of the way of playing chess is to cultivate one's own character. If you have the heart of competition, you will fall into a inferior position, and you cannot be addicted to chess with this intention."

Master Yan's words were very academic and he had a vague attitude of master-apprentice Q&A, so Tang Que could only get up and accept the teachings.

Originally, it was a casual chat under the moon. After Master Yan made this, the atmosphere at the scene changed a little. At this point, Lin Xuezheng and the others couldn't say anything else. County Magistrate Zhang simply laughed and said, "The person who spoke was unintentional. He smelled the warning. It is true that Master Yan produced a good disciple. However, Tang Cheng had some unique insights at a young age, which was indeed rare. When I was in Beijing in the past, I also made friends with several good chess virtuous people. If there was an opportunity in the future, Tang Cheng might as well meet them."

Lin Xuezheng also blamed Master Yan for not being able to change his life, which ruined the good mood of County Magistrate Zhang. At this time, he naturally followed the voice of County Magistrate Zhang and asked with a smile: "Now, Feng Wang should be the most popular player in Go. Who is the master talking about him?"

"This person is too arrogant. When he heard that someone who is good at praises him invincible in the world, Feng Wang actually had a lustful face but no sense of humility. It was just that he had chess but no quality. Such a person should not be praised as a national player. However, the new figure Wang Jixin is both good at both skills and art, and will definitely achieve great success in the future." The magistrate of Zhang County said that Feng Wang looked dissatisfied, "If you want to say that you saw a friend when you were in the capital, the Sanlang in the palace of the Prime Minister Anguo was the most outstanding."

Speaking of Saburo, County Magistrate Zhang's eyebrows and eyes were full of praise.

Although Tang Que also studied history, he studied literary history after all, and was not familiar with the title of "Sanlang". It was Lin Xuezheng's words that gave him a new understanding of this person. "Sanlang, the Prime Minister of Anguo, said that Li Sanlang, who was once praised by the previous queen as "My Thousand Miles Joe"?"
