Chapter 197 The Master's Inspection
Chapter 197 The Master's Inspection
Wang Fuzhi considered himself a disciple of Sun Shan, so his relationship with Sun Shan was more than just that of a principal and a student.
It is equivalent to him accepting Sun Shan as his apprentice, and they become master and apprentice.
This kind of relationship was a very, very close one in the Sui Empire of that era.
It can be said that it is the closest relationship besides the blood relationship between parents.
After asking about Sun Shan's family affairs, he began to care about his studies.
He was not worried about Sun Shan's talent.
Because, whether it is the songs or operas composed by Sun Shan, or one or two poems, there is no problem.
For example, the masterpiece "I was born to be useful" is now sung all over the world.
Even several of the extra-territorial countries have become widely circulated.
However, the imperial examinations and other subjects have little to do with these.
It tests the Four Books and Five Classics, current affairs and classics, as well as the eight-part essay, which is extremely particular about format and tone.
This requires great concentration and understanding.
He thought for a while and asked, "Sun Shan, why don't you write an article on the topic of "Stop the War as a Martial Art" so that I can see how much you know?"
"Yes, Master."
Sun Shan understood that Wang Fuzhi wanted to examine his knowledge and at the same time observe and correct his own thoughts.
He sat down, slowly grinding the ink, thinking about how to solve the problem, break it, and then extend it-----
It took about ten minutes to grind the ink. By the time the ink was ready, Sun Shan had basically sorted out his thoughts.
Sit down, write, and start solving problems.
"It is not something you know, but culture is the key to stopping war."
Wang Fuzhi was standing behind Sun Shan. Seeing that Sun Shan only thought for a short while before directly starting to solve the problem, he sighed in his heart: This kid’s thinking is still very quick!
When he saw Sun Shan put pen to paper and write the final words, his heart skipped a beat.
What a beautiful calligraphy!
This is not to say that it is written very well.
Instead, it has a lot of personality, tension, and a powerful force that comes out clearly.
Under Sun Shan's pen, these words fell one by one, seemingly slowly yet extremely quickly, just like live fish leaping onto the paper.
The handwriting really reflects the person!
Uninhibited, sharp-edged, armed with weapons and cavalry! As fierce as a tiger.
Sun Shan was fully focused on writing his first formal article since coming into this world. It took him about half an hour to finish it in one go.
Then, he turned around and looked at Wang Fuzhi, who was stroking his beard, nodding and shaking his head.
For a moment, I felt a little uneasy.
“Nice handwriting!”
When Sun Shan turned his head, Wang Fuzhi had already carefully read Sun Shan's first article.
Regardless of how it was written, he patted Sun Shan on the shoulder with great joy and praised his writing: "This is the first time I've seen your writing method. It's really like the opera you sing, very unique. You have the potential to become a master!"
Oh my God!
This is already a very high evaluation.
Of course Sun Shan knew what was going on. His writing style was a combination of many calligraphy styles from ancient times to the present, and with the blessing of the vitality in his body, his writing was as powerful as a god and had a unique style.
Sun Shan smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Fuzhi. I may have learned martial arts, so I can control the strength of my fingers better than ordinary people. This allows me to write with my own style. And, maybe it's my personality. I don't like to follow the rules, so I'm a bit flamboyant."
"Ha ha ha ha------"
After listening to Sun Shan's self-examination of his shortcomings, Wang Fuzhi laughed out loud for the first time.
This surprised the servant boy who was waiting outside the study.
Principal Wang, who was always serious, actually laughed happily.
It seems that the new scholar in the mountains is very much loved by the headmaster.
Not only did we chat alone for such a long time, but we also made the headmaster laugh out loud.
It seems that the scholar in the mountains is really not an ordinary scholar!
"Sun Shan, I like your personality. You are frank and natural, not hypocritical or pretentious. Only when you know yourself and see your strengths and weaknesses can you go higher and further!"
"Yes, Master. A person's true enemy and friend in life are both himself. Only by understanding himself, seeing himself clearly, and controlling himself can he grow into a better self!"
Wang Fuzhi was a little stunned.
He stared in astonishment at Sun Shan's handsome and somewhat childish face.
I called him a monster in my heart!
How old is this child, yet he can say such things, things that he himself doesn't even understand.
It seems that genius cannot be measured by growth rings.
"Very good! Very well said!"
Master Wang slowly sat down, holding onto the table. He looked at Sun Shan, who was surrounded by a circle of light and shadow under the sunlight, and repeatedly increased his attention to Sun Shan.
"Sun Shan, what kind of state of mind can you have? If you can persevere and examine yourself three times a day, I think your future will be limitless."
After saying this, Wang Fuzhi did not wait for Sun Shan to answer and began to explain the content of the article Sun Shan had just written.
He first corrected and commented on some details of Sun Shan's article one by one.
Then, he commented on the general aspects of the article: "Sun Shan, your article is just like you, with many unique ideas that make people's vision clear after reading it."
"However, there are still some major issues with the format and tone details. In addition, your way of thinking is also different from that of ordinary people. This is both your strength and your weakness. Do you know this?"
"I know, Master." Sun Shan nodded and replied sincerely, "I know that what I wrote, not only in terms of thought content, but also in terms of format and tone, is far from the real Juren. So I would like to ask Master where I should start writing in detail."
Wang Fuzhi was even more satisfied when he heard Sun Shan say this.
It is a very good quality for a person to know his own shortcomings and be able to admit them openly.
"This requires you to read more, watch more, write more, and think more."
As he spoke, Wang Fuzhi picked up a book from the plan and handed it to Sun Shan, who took the book respectfully. He solemnly instructed: "The sea of learning is boundless and requires hard work. The mountain of books has a path and requires diligence. These are some of my experiences over the years. If you read them carefully, you should gain something."
"Thank you, thank you Master, I will definitely read this carefully and study it thoroughly."
After talking for a while, just when Wang Fuzhi was about to ask Sun Shan to leave, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Because this concerns Sun Shan’s studies.
Especially since Sun Shan is now in charge of several businesses, it is difficult for him to focus all his attention on his studies.
"Sun Shan, let me test your memory. If your memory is good enough, you can try a different way of studying."
Sun Shan smiled happily, "Master, I think my memory is pretty good. It's up to you to do well in the exam."
Wang Fuzhi saw Sun Shan smiling like a boy next door, looking relaxed. He smiled and scolded him, "Look at what you can do. You are really not modest."
As he spoke, he pulled out a profound and difficult-to-understand book called "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" from his study and threw it to Sun Shan: "Just wait for a quarter of an hour, and I'll see how much you can remember. Don't brag too much, your senior brother Tang Bohu, the most he could remember was more than 520 words."
Tang Bohu?
Sun Shan pondered in his mind, wondering why he kept meeting historical celebrities from different eras.
However, this is not the time to think too much.
We must take this opportunity to show off in front of the Master and surpass Tang Bohu!
