    Zhang Zai, also known as Zihou, is one of the "Four Masters of Calligraphy, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting" of the Jin Dynasty today. His calligraphy is world-famous and is hard to find.  At the same time, he was also a great Confucian of the Jin Dynasty. He was rich in learning and talented in the world, and few people in the world could match him.  Moreover, Feng Chang had served as one of the Nine Ministers for a period of time.  Feng Chang, in charge of the rituals of the ancestral temple, has a very high status and is the head of the nine ministers.  Nine years ago, someone in the court reported to Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty to summon Zhang Zai back to Beijing to serve on the grounds that "Zhang Zai's learning is the legacy of a saint who is good at teaching, and his skills can be restored."  At this time, Zhang Zaizheng was suffering from lung disease, but he said: "I am a professional, and I dare not complain about illness. How often do I meet a common man." It means: This time I am called back to Beijing, and I cannot refuse because of illness. I can take this opportunity to  In order to implement my political ideals and ideas, I came to Beijing even though I was ill.  At that time, someone suggested to the court that the ceremony of wedding crowns and funerals should be implemented, and the ritual officials were ordered to implement it. However, the ritual officials believed that ancient and modern customs were different and the past rituals could not be implemented.  Only Zhang Zai thought it was feasible and pointed out that the actions of the opponents were "unsuitable for Confucian scholars and doctors", which offended many important officials in the court and was therefore isolated.  In the DPRK, his political ideals and opinions encountered great resistance and were unable to be implemented.  In addition, he was seriously ill. Less than a year later, he resigned and returned eastward, where he lived in seclusion in Bailu Mountain of Langya Kingdom, taught, and opened Zhang's Thatched Cottage.  In Zhang Zai's life, he was called to the Jin Dynasty twice, served as a foreign official three times, and reached Fengchang, the head of the Nine Qing Dynasty. Due to resistance, he was still unable to realize his political ideals and ideas This time, Shan Zidao, Chen Min and others  A famous scholar traveled thousands of miles to study in Bailu Mountain, so naturally he went to Zhang Zai, a great scholar who was famous all over the world.  Speaking of Zhang Zai, even Wei Zizheng, who is also famous all over the world as one of the "Four Masters of Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting", is full of emotions and sighs.  His eyes were full of respect.  Among the four unique talents of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for the harp master Heshan, who had a wild and aloof temperament, the other three had all served as officials in the court, but in the end they were either demoted or resigned.  Especially Zhang Zai, who reached the top of the Nine Qing Dynasty, finally retired to Bailu Mountain to teach.  For more than ten days, the ship has been heading north.     on board.  In addition to playing chess, Li Tu and Wei Zizheng also talked about Confucianism and the current situation in the court.  Years ago, after the death of Emperor Wu of Jin, his second son was incompetent, and everything in the dynasty was in chaos.  In order to gain power and profit, the powerful kings from all over the country fought fiercely, and chaos spread everywhere.  But Li Tu didn¡¯t understand the political situation in this world, so he just listened quietly to Wei Zizheng¡¯s explanation.  Come during this time.  Li Tu got up early every day to read in the morning, and saw Li Tu's recitation full of charm and eloquence.  Wei Zizheng and the three scholars were a little surprised. They also specifically asked Li Tu for advice on how to recite, and they would read with Li Tu every morning when they got up.  After a period of morning reading, Wei Zizheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.  Moreover, the suffocation accumulated in my heart for many years was swept away, and my mental outlook was completely renewed.  "Reading to nourish one's energy, reading to nourish one's energy. I have been studying books all my life in vain Now I really feel what reading is to nourish one's energy!" Wei Zizheng said with a slight shame on his old face, then looked at the river and said with great pride: "  Read thousands of books to cultivate the awe-inspiring spirit in my chest! " Wei Zizheng was Li Tu who came to this world and met the first person who truly had awe-inspiring spirit in his chest, but he didn't know how to nourish the awe-inspiring spirit.  When he asked Li Tu for advice on how to recite, Li Tu had nothing to hide, and intentionally or unintentionally explained Confucian practice and what it means to truly nourish the aura of awe-inspiring minds.     currently.  Li Tu has learned that there are no Confucian practitioners in this world.  Wei Zizheng is a famous scholar in the Jin Dynasty who is famous all over the world. He can be regarded as a great Confucian. Even he has not opened up the world in his mind.  I don¡¯t know how to nourish the awe-inspiring spirit in my chest.  For Li Tu, it was natural to know what the autumn leaves were like, and he knew what Confucian practice in this world was like.  At this time, the ship had passed Donghe Prefecture, entered Dongwen Prefecture, and stopped in Kaiyang County of Langya Kingdom.  Langya Kingdom is a feudal state of the Jin Dynasty. It governs nine counties and has more than 39,500 households. Its area is about the same size as an ordinary county.  After getting off the boat, after taking a short rest in Kaiyang County of Langya Kingdom, Li Tu, Wei Zizheng and others took a carriage to Lushan County. Bailu Mountain is located in Lushan County.  , is to live in seclusion here and teach.  After everyone arrived in Lushan County, Su Xiaoxiao also dressed up as a man and followed Li Tu to Bailu Mountain, while Aunt Jia and maid Xiaocao stayed at the inn in Lushan County.  There is a close distance between Bailu Mountain and Lushan County. Everyone took a bus to the foot of Bailu Mountain.  Walking into Bailu Mountain, you can see the deep dense forests, and you can still vaguely hear the sound of streams flowing in the mountain streams.  All the way up and down,?I saw abrupt rocks everywhere, deep ravines, gurgling streams, luxuriant grass and luxuriant forests. Every now and then, when I turned a corner, I could see a sudden open sky in front of me. All I could hear was the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of insects. Occasionally, I could hear the rustle of the wind blowing through the vegetation. Ben was talking from time to time.  Everyone gradually became quiet.  "No wonder the famous Zhang Gong lives here in seclusion!" Su Xiaoxiao, who was dressed like a handsome young man, looked at this wonderful scenery and broke the rare silence with a sudden emotion, "If it were Xiaoxiao here.  Xiaoxiao would definitely be happy to have such a winding path leading to a hut! This place is so beautiful, no worse than the West Lake." Wei Zizheng, who was walking in the front, heard Su Xiaoxiao's words and shook his head slightly, as if he was satisfied.  Su Xiaoxiao was quite dissatisfied, or maybe it was because of Li Tu that he didn't say anything.  The three scholars, Shan Zidao and Chen Min, were stunned for a moment. They had no scruples in their hearts and said displeasedly: "Miss Su, what you said is wrong. Mr. Zhang lives here in seclusion not for the sake of comfort and beautiful scenery."  After Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she also knew that her words seemed a little disrespectful to Mr. Zhang. Her face turned slightly red, she said nothing and followed Li Tu quietly.  Although the journey was not difficult or dangerous, it had been almost half an hour. Even though the scenery was beautiful, the mountain roads along the way were quite inconvenient.  Everyone felt a little tired as they walked, especially Su Xiaoxiao, who kept wiping the sweat on his cheeks.  In the past ten days or so, Li Tu had also learned about Wei Zizheng and the three scholars' personal deeds. Now along the way, he had further speculations about the temperament of this reclusive scholar.  Zhang Zai was able to put aside his world-famous name and the stable life of the imperial capital to live in seclusion in this mountainous place. Moreover, he did not just live alone, but recruited many disciples to teach, preach and resolve doubts. His temperament must be tenacious and noble.  Worthy of respect from others.  ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s no wonder that Wei Zizheng, who is almost as famous as him, has respect in his eyes when he talks about him.  Walking on the rocks on the side of the mountain, everyone stopped to take a rest. Although Wei Zizheng was over fifty, his physical strength seemed to be better than that of the three scholars.  At this time, seeing the three sweating young scholars with pensive and nervous expressions on their faces, they smiled and said, "Are you worried that you won't be able to pass the three exams in the thatched cottage?" The three Shanzidao scholars smiled slightly.  He looked up at Wei Zizheng, with an unspoken meaning in his eyes.  At this time, Wei Zizheng said again: "I am a close friend of Mr. Zhang, and I can recommend it to you, so that you can avoid these three exams." "Wei Gong's intention is understood, and I want to rely on my own ability to pass the three exams in the thatched cottage.  If you can't even pass these three tests, the three of you will have no shame in staying in the thatched cottage." Shan Zidao said a little arrogantly.  Chen Min and the other scholar also nodded.  Seeing this, Wei Zizheng just nodded without saying anything more, then looked at Li Tu, who was standing quietly, still with his music close to his body, and said: "Ziwei, when Mr. Zhang sees you this time, he will definitely"  I am very happy. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang is also a master of chess, and his chess skills are second to none. " "Mr. Zhang is a man of tough and noble nature, and Li Tu also wants to meet him and ask for advice."  laughed.  After a while, everyone continued walking towards the mountain. The mountain was covered with lush green pines and bamboos, and a clear spring came from the cloud peaks. The scenery seemed even more beautiful.  Then, everyone walked to the mouth of the valley. At this time, Wei Zizheng pointed and said: "This is the White Deer Cave. This is where Mr. Zhang started teaching." "White Deer Cave?" Su Xiaoxiao said slightly confused, a little confused.  Puzzled, I didn¡¯t see any holes.  Wei Zizheng smiled and explained: "There is no cave in Bailu Cave. Because the terrain is low and it looks like a cave when looking down, it is called 'White Deer Cave'." At this time, on a stone in front of the valley, he was quietly  Sitting there was a young man about twenty-three or four years old, holding a book in his hand and reading attentively.  Dressed in snow-white clothes, he has a tall figure and handsome appearance. However, his face has a cold expression that never melts like an iceberg that has lasted for thousands of years.  Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head slightly and glanced at the crowd, then stood up and immediately saluted Wei Zizheng and said respectfully: "Mr. Wei, you are here. Master Zhang has been waiting for you for a long time." Wei Zizheng smiled.  He said with a smile: "Haha, every time I come to Bailu Cave, I see you guy guarding here, but you have done your duty." "Wei Gong laughed, if you come to study and become a disciple, you need to pass the three exams in the thatched cottage. This is  Disciples don¡¯t dare to neglect Master Zhang¡¯s rules for many years,¡± the cold-faced young man replied, then glanced at the young scholars following Wei Zizheng, then looked at them thoughtfully again, and continued:  "Of course, even if you can't pass the third exam, as long as you are willing to stay, you can still attach yourself to the house and listen to the lectures, and come and go as you please."   "Ziwei, this is Mr. Zhang's third disciple who entered the house. He will be the one to take the first test." Wei Zizheng smiled and said to Li Tu, then continued to the cold-faced young man: "The three of them  We just met me on the road, so we came together, so we can take the exams that are required, and we don¡¯t need to consider me, you know?¡±?¡­
