Chapter Eleven Gathering at Gan Junshan
Guzang Ganfu.
Gan Xu, the old man Gan, who is the highest-ranking in the Hexi Shilin, is waiting for the news with a bit of anxiety.
As a Hexi Shilin, Gan Xu has always been eager to lead Hexi Shilin to gain recognition from the world's Shilin and regain his glory in the past.
Hexi has always proved the truth through martial arts, and the elite soldiers in the world have mostly appeared in Hexi.
Since the pre-Qin period, Hexi has been famous for its abundant supply of elite soldiers and fast horses, and this was even more so in the Han Dynasty.
The Northwest Army, with great martial arts, drove the Xiongnu and advanced westward to the Western Regions, and was invincible.
The Xiliang Jingqi was also famous in the late Han Dynasty. The most elite tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao were destroyed by the Xiliang Jingqi, forcing Cao Cao to sigh that "I will not die, and I will not have a burial place."
However, most of history have common characteristics. Most of the soldiers in Xiliang are brave and have no plans. There are very few who can achieve great things.
Because of this, the literary style of Xiliang has always been criticized by the world.
When Hexi is actually a place without culture.
The Five Barbarians invaded China in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and foreign races from all sides competed for the Central Plains. In Hebei, most of the literary masters of the Central Plains moved away from their hometowns, most of them moved south to Jiangnan, and some moved to Hexi, bringing the culture of the Central Plains to the Northwest.
The culture of the Hexi Corridor has been improved unprecedentedly, and the Five Liang Dynasty, which was established one after another, also gathered a large number of talents.
Mogao Grottoes culture was also developed during this period.
During this period, the literary style in Hexi was prevalent, but after hundreds of years, the literary style has been continuously changed due to the influence of war and today.
Gan Xu was a descendant of Gan Luo, the superior minister of Qin, and was regarded as a prominent family. He has a very high status in Hexi.
Since Gan Xu's great-grandfather, the Gan family has been running Qingshan Academy for nearly two hundred years.
Gan Xu taught at the age of 30 and retired at the age of 70. He spent half of his life educating his children. What he sought in this life was why he promoted the Han culture and promoted the Han culture in the northwest.
Because of this, he is the one who resists Pei Min the most serious.
Martial arts was the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, but Martial arts in the Tang Dynasty did not care about literature, but instead attached great importance to culture and education.
Shangwu in Hexi was unable to be like the Tang Dynasty, and there was a certain degree of contempt for literature here.
Gan Xu tried every means to change this disadvantage and enhance the literary atmosphere in Hexi.
As a result, the incident of Pei Min severely punishing Yang Jingshu spread all over the world, making everyone in the world aware that there was such a scum in the Hexi Shilin, which destroyed the atmosphere he had created for many years.
Although Gan Xu knew very well, it had nothing to do with Pei Min.
Yang Jingshu really deserves his guilt, but he still cannot help but reject Pei Min's existence in his heart.
Now Pei Min used an article to become famous in Shilin. Gan Xu immediately realized that he had made a great mistake.
Compared with a literary genius like Pei Min and the cornerstone of the future Shilin, what is Yang Jingshu?
Gan Xu was stubborn but not pedantic. He had the courage to correct his mistakes when he knew him. He personally contacted Zhang Jiuling and invited Pei Min to attend the Hexi Shilin party.
But Gan Xu didn't know whether Pei Min could ignore his past grudges, and he couldn't help but feel up and down.
"Father, Duke Pei agreed!" Gan Xu's son Gan Yi conveyed the news with some excitement: "Not only that, he will also lead all his aides to participate, and even Mr. Ji Ling will go!"
If you can love the house and the black, you can naturally hate the house and the black.
Many of the civil officials under Pei Min's command did not have a deep relationship with the Hexi Shilin, but Wang Zhihuan was the only one who was the only one who was the one who was not involved in the relationship.
Wang Zhihuan's "Liangzhou Ci" describes the vast and magnificent scenery of the border, the vast and desolate mountains and rivers, the loneliness and danger of the situation of those who are guarding Xu, and the great responsibility of the border. The mood is sad but not losing its strength, and has been deeply praised by Hexi.
Gan Yi is Wang Zhihuan's admirer...
"That's great!" Gan Xu's beard shook excitedly and said, "I knew that the Duke could hold a boat in his belly, and he would not bother with the common people like us!"
"But he has a condition!" Gan Yi said with some embarrassment.
Gan Xu was slightly stunned and then said, "What conditions are you going to do? Even if he asks me to apologize to him, I will give it my best."
Gan Yi hurriedly said, "My father misunderstood and said it was a condition, but it was not the same as the negotiation. Duke Pei felt that the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang were too far away. Can we change the gathering place to Laojun Cave in Ganjun Mountain?"
Gan Xu pondered for a moment, and understood something, and smiled and said, "I am not thinking well, then let's go to Laojun Cave of Ganjun Mountain. If you pass it on, the party will be changed to Laojun Cave of Ganjun Mountain."
Mogao Grottoes are a major feature of Dunhuang, Hexi. They are commonly known as Thousand Buddha Caves. They were built in the Former Qin Dynasty of the Sixteen Kingdoms. They were continuously repaired by the Sixteen Kingdoms, Northern Dynasties, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasties, forming a huge scale. There are more than a thousand caves, which is the most magnificent Sutra Cave in the world.
Pei Min had full respect for Mogao Grottoes. In his memory, the Tang Dynasty was the peak of Mogao Grottoes and flourished. After the Anshi Rebellion, Dunhuang was successively occupied by the Tubo and Guiyi Army, but the statue creation activities were not greatly affected. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Western Xia and Yuan Dynasty, Mogao Grottoes gradually declined, with only rebuilding the cave rooms of the previous dynasty, and very few new ones were built.
After the Yuan Dynasty, Dunhuang stopped opening caves and gradually became deserted. In the seventh year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Jiayuguan was closed, making Dunhuang a nomadic place on the border. The Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang disappeared into the trend of history...
It was not until the 26th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty that travelers accidentally appeared the Mogao Grottoes that shocked the world. Unfortunately, under the specific historical background of the late Qing government's corruption and incompetence and the invasion of China by Western powers, shortly after the emergence of the Buddhist cave cultural relics, the British Stein, the French Persie, the Japanese Jurui, and the Russian Edenburg and other Western explorers came to Dunhuang one after another. They used unfair means to deceive a large number of Buddhist cave cultural relics from Taoist Wang, resulting in the tragic robbery of the Buddhist cave cultural relics. Most of them were unfortunately scattered and were hidden in many public and private collection institutions in Britain, France, Russia, Japan and other countries. Only a small part of them were preserved in China, causing an unprecedented catastrophe in Chinese cultural history.
This will happen a thousand years later. Pei Min is unknown whether it will be born, but he sincerely hopes that history will not repeat itself.
But admiration does not mean recognition.
Pei Min did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, but his recognition of Taoism is far better than that of Buddhism.
He would not do stupid things like destroying Mogao Grottoes, but he would not want to promote them for him.
Compared to those thoughts of Sakyamuni, Pei Min admired Lao Tzu more.
The Tao Te Ching is not only a Taoist classic, but also contains Chinese philosophical theories, discussing the ways of self-cultivation, governing the country, using troops, and maintaining health.
According to legend, Lao Tzu rode a green ox westward and lived in seclusion here at the top of Ganjun Mountain. He talked about the scriptures and said, and later turned into a huge rock in Heli Mountain and stood on the top of the peak forever.
Whether it is true or false, one has different opinions. As a younger generation, as long as one commemorates the sincerity of the ancestors, what does it matter whether it is true or false?
Compared with Mogao Grottoes, Pei Minzhen felt that gatherings of famous scholars and scholars was more meaningful than being in Buddhist caves, as it was on the top of Taoist hills.
August 1st, the tenth year of Kaiyuan.
It is the day of summer travel in Ganjun Mountain.
Pei Min did not wear official uniforms, but a large number of Confucian scholars, wearing a bundle and a round-neck, narrow-sleeved robe.
In the Tang Dynasty, this kind of robe was a fashion and was deeply loved by the Shilin.
Pei Min was handsome, and wearing this popular Confucian uniform, she suddenly became a handsome young man from the turbid world.
Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Zhihuan, Wang Wei and others were also shining with bright clothes and angry horses.
When he looked around, Pei Min found that except for Wang Weina, who was more beautiful than a woman, he could not compare to him, but everyone else was three points inferior to him.
Although he doesn't rely on his appearance to make a living, his appearance is still quite proud.
Just the carefully dressed Wang Wei, Pei Min secretly took a few glances, and no matter how she looked like a female...
