Chapter 195 I see the green mountains are so charming, I think the green mountains see me the same w
Sun Shan couldn't see it, and neither could many students.
Sun Shan breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he was a normal person. With everyone around him, he was not lonely at all.
Mr. Hong and Mr. Huang were so angry that they stamped their feet and cursed: This child is incorrigible!
After a long journey, we finally climbed up Guanyin Mountain before noon.
There is a Guanyin Temple and a Huangyang Temple here.
It is not grand at all, just a few brick houses with a few monks looking after the temple.
Hong Xiucai and Huang Xiucai greeted the abbot of the temple. It was obvious that the abbot knew them and was very polite in his words.
Sun Shan saw Mr. Hong and Mr. Huang's assistants, Uncle Hong and Uncle Huang, each put a money bag into the merit box.
Afterwards, Mr. Hong and Mr. Huang asked the abbot to introduce to the students the origin of the temple, the Buddha statues enshrined in the temple, etc.
The abbot explained in great detail and the students listened attentively.
Sun Shan could not imagine that a few houses could be interpreted as temples. He admired his imagination. He could force two unrelated things to be related to each other, just like saying that two bare hills were the Lotus-Lying Guanyin.
The abbot's ability is not inferior to that of a scholar's ability to talk nonsense.
After the abbot finished speaking, Mr. Hong and Mr. Huang brought the students to express their gratitude and say goodbye.
Hong Xiucai said gently: "We will leave first. Thank you very much for today, Abbot."
Huang Xiucai echoed: "I have benefited a lot today, I will come again tomorrow."
The three of them said goodbye to each other, and Sun Shan and others also said goodbye to the abbot.
Walking out of the temple, we came to a pavilion. Although the pavilion was small, there was a lot of open space outside.
Everyone moved stones to sit down and prepared to have lunch.
After climbing the mountain for a whole morning, I was already starving.
Hong Xiucai said with a smile: "Let's have lunch first, and then go somewhere else to enjoy the view in the afternoon."
Huang Xiucai and Hong Xiucai sat in the pavilion and said deliberately: "After lunch, I will test your poetry writing ability."
The student immediately wailed and no longer enjoyed his meal.
Sun Shan took out the food distributed at school this morning and ate several pieces of taro cakes in succession. Only then did he feel full in his stomach and have strength in his legs and feet.
Excessive exercise causes the body to consume too much energy, which urgently needs to be replenished.
After eating a lot, I followed Zheng Hongwen to the mountains to fetch spring water.
This is truly pure, natural, pollution-free mountain spring water. Sun Shan decided to be a porter of nature. He filled the kettle and drank several gulps of it. It was sweet and cool.
Delicious! Delicious!
Although I know that unboiled water cannot be drunk, it doesn’t matter if it happens once or twice. I have to be a free and easy man.
After lunch and a short rest, everyone stood up and continued moving forward.
This time we finally climbed to the highest point.
The surrounding beautiful scenery is unobstructed.
It's like "standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on all the other mountains".
Sun Shan looked down the mountain, and the general view of Huangyang County came into view. There were no tall buildings, no traffic, only short and dilapidated houses and dilapidated city walls.
Huangyang County is indeed a poor county, even worse than the town in my previous life.
Looking into the distance, there are nothing but mountains.
Sunjia Village is surrounded by mountains, and Huangyang County is also surrounded by mountains.
Sun Shan is truly a child of the mountains, and it is very difficult for him to get out of the mountains.
It is even more difficult to put on Kong Yiji's gown.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery, the most exciting part came.
Either reciting poetry or writing poetry.
There are 11 students in Hong's School and 12 students in Huang's School, which are comparable. It seems that the students of the two schools should be similar.
After Sun Shan had been in Hong's School for a year, he discovered that all the students in the school were from wealthy families.
There were few rich peasants like Sun Shan who farmed the land, or small businessmen like Wang Weizheng who ran inns, but few poor peasants like Hong Jian.
There were also no children of officials working in government offices, the so-called second generation of officials.
Later, I heard from the poor student Zeng Jiajun that the children of government officials all studied in the county school, not in the school of Mr. Hong and Mr. Huang.
However, he was gloating when he spoke. What mattered that the county school had good conditions, it still couldn't produce a scholar.
Sun Shan shook his head. The teaching quality in Huangyang County was really disappointing.
The students from Hong's School and Huang's School stood clearly apart.
Mr. Hong and Mr. Huang are in the middle.
As for Uncle Hong and Uncle Huang, they were watching from the sidelines, happily commenting on which student was good-looking and which was ugly.
Sun Shan really wanted to ask them both: Is it polite for you to comment like this?
Huang Xiucai said to everyone with a smile on his face: "Let's recite poems first to see how many poems you have learned."
The rules are simple. Huang Xiucai and Hong Xiucai each give a named topic, and ask the students on both sides to find relevant descriptions from a large number of ancient poems. Whichever school can't think of a description within the specified time will lose.
Huang Xiucai put his hands together behind his back and said, "Today we are climbing Guanyin Mountain, so let's start with some poems describing the mountain."
As soon as he finished speaking, the students of Huang's Academy raised their hands. Huang Xiucai looked at Hong Xiucai proudly and said with a smile: "You say."
There is a saying from Huang's Academy: "I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains."
After saying this, he looked at Hong Academy proudly.
Sun Shan was speechless. The other party had just said what he had just thought of. Being slow means being at a disadvantage.
Hong Xiucai looked at the Hong School, and Brother Li Sheng from Class A immediately said, "I see how charming the green mountains are, and I think the green mountains see me the same way."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone booed, and Mr. Hong and Mr. Huang also laughed.
Huang Xiucai laughed and scolded: "You brat!"
Sun Shan looked at Brother Li Sheng with a smile on his face. This line of poetry was used brilliantly. On the surface it praised the green mountains for their beauty and loveliness, but in reality it was praising himself for his leisurely, carefree and unrestrained lifestyle.
So everyone rolled their eyes at each other.
The Huang School across the street refused to admit defeat. One of the students raised his hand and said, "When you look at a mountain from the side, it looks like a mountain. When you look at it from the front, it looks like a peak. It looks different from different distances and heights. I cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because I am inside the mountain."
The Hong School refused to admit defeat and everyone raised their hands to answer.
As soon as Hong's school finished speaking, Huang's school immediately said, you say one sentence, I say one sentence, and we are equally matched.
Sun Shan also said: "The monkeys on both sides of the river are crying incessantly, and the light boat has passed thousands of mountains."
Especially the last sentence "The boat has passed through ten thousand mountains", which corresponds to "far ahead", and often becomes a hot search, dominates the list, and becomes a meme.
It’s hard not to remember.
Huang Xiucai proposed the topic of "Mountain", and Hong Xiucai proposed the topic of "Spring".
The two schools fought with each other, and all the poetry and songs in their heads came out.
It ended in a draw.
So began the second part: writing poetry and lyrics.
After Huang Xiucai and Hong Xiucai had discussed it, they chose "Stone" as the topic and let everyone perform on the spot.
This was a difficult task. The students pondered over it, and when the time was up, Huang Xiucai and Hong Xiucai asked everyone to read their own poems. As for the judges, there were only two of them.
Sun Shan hesitantly composed a poem: One stone, one world; one scene, one world. Looking up at Guanyin, he wrote a poem praising the strange stone.
Huang Xiucai and Hong Xiucai tasted it a few times and gave it a medium grade.
Sun Shan let out a long sigh and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
