Confucianism is supreme? I am reciting Tang poems in another world!

Bai Ye talked eloquently, and it seemed that the two days of detention had no impact on him, "The real test of questioning one's heart is to torture one's own heart, to make him fall into the past, repeatedly look back on his past, and put all those things he once knew into his mind. All the sins you have committed and the things you regret are unearthed. Once you ask your mind, you will enter a state of mind and have a dialogue with those who have appeared in your life, allowing you to face your past. Self."

After hearing this, Ci Song replied: "Although it sounds scary, Senior Brother Bai Ye is not a real sinner, and as long as you stick to your heart, this heart-questioning test is actually not difficult."

Zhong Qi on the side heard this and nodded in agreement, "Junior Brother Ci Song's idea coincides with mine."

"Perhaps you don't know that before the last tea party in the Fifth Courtyard, Bai Ye was trapped by the Heart-Questioning Trial in the Heart-Questioning Mirror for a whole night..."

Duanmu Qingcang was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Bai Ye reaching out, "Qingcang, the last trial of asking the heart was because my question of heaven and earth and the trial of asking the heart were conducted at the same time. I didn't really understand it at the time. It took me some time because of my own conscience.”

"But this time is different. I have made my true intentions clear, and I am confident that the three months of torture in the Wenxin Palace is nothing to me."

Speaking of this, Bai Ye showed a faint smile on his face and sighed: "Speaking of which, I also have the advantage of age."

"What's the explanation for this?" Zeng Xiangteng asked curiously.

"For those literati who live longer and have higher cultivation levels, the torture in the Hall of Questioning becomes more difficult, because most people, on the way to pursue the realm of literature, have done some things that are against their will. These mistakes will turn into inner demons. In the Palace of Questioning Heart, these mistakes will be infinitely magnified, allowing them to face their former selves. Therefore, the older the person is, after entering the Palace of Questioning Heart, they will often escape death, and the higher their achievements will be. They will come out alive. The probability will be smaller.”

"But for our generation, to put it harshly, our path of spiritual practice has just begun. There are no mistakes made by long-famous literary giants, and our true intentions are purer. The test of Wenxin Palace is very important to us. To me, it’s just a walk through the past and a look at who you were before, that’s all.”

After Bai Ye said this, he breathed out gently, then turned to look at Ci Song, "Today is the ninth day of October, and it is Junior Brother Ci's birthday. Calculating his age, Junior Brother Ci is already fifteen years old. "Book of Rites" · Qu Li 1 "Zeng said: "Twenty means weak crown". Originally, men should perform the ceremony of weak crown when they are twenty years old. However, I don't know when, the crown for men and the hairpin for women were changed to fifteen years old."

"Originally, during the crowning ceremony, the father or elder brother presided over the crowning ceremony in the ancestral temple. The auspicious day must be selected, the crowning guests must be selected, and offerings to the heaven, earth, and ancestors must be prepared. Then the father and elder brother will lead them into the Taimiao Temple to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth. Afterwards, the crowning process will be performed three times. The rituals are: cloth crown, deerskin crown, and red and black plain crown, which represent adults. "

"The crowning ceremony originally took at least three days to complete. Perhaps the Confucian sages thought it was too complicated, so they simplified it. When crowning, you only need to hand over the crown that you have knitted yourself and the following rules. To a man, from now on, a man will officially become an adult and a real man."

"A young man's ambition is to reach the top, his heart is to the blue sky, and he is the most energetic. Therefore, the ceremony of crowning is like the ceremony of a woman's hairpin. It is a declaration that a man will no longer be ignorant and frivolous. After crowning, he must abide by the rules and follow the rules. , polite.”

"When the crown is crowned, the father must be by his side and hand over the crown he has knitted himself and the rules and regulations to the man. From now on, the man will be considered to have officially come of age and will be considered a real man. "

After Bai Ye said this, he paused for a moment, not knowing what he was sighing for, and then continued: "Now the yin and yang are in order, the yin has its order, the yang has its place, the heaven and the earth are in order, all things have spirits, and everything is in order." With etiquette, the crowning ceremony is both a form and an inheritance.”

"What is passed down are rules, culture, and order."

Speaking of this, Bai Ye took out a crown from his jade pendant. It looked very simple. The whole crown was woven from green silk. At the bottom of the crown, there was a tassel hanging from it. It is woven from dark green silk rope, and an emerald green gemstone is tied at the lower end of the silk rope.

The gemstone is emerald green and flawless, with strands of light emitting from the gemstone, which is exceptionally bright.

"This crown was given to me by the dean when I was weak. The dean said that this crown was the crown worn by Yan Yasheng Academy back then. Although this object is not a calligraphy treasure, it represents the name of our Yan Yasheng Academy. inherited."

"Now it seems that I have failed the dean's expectations. Today, I will give this crown to Junior Brother Ci Song. I hope that Junior Brother Ci Song will be diligent, abide by the rules, and be a self-control person in the years to come. A person who restores rites must be a person who can shoulder the legacy of Yan Sheng Academy.”

After Bai Ye said this, he handed the crown to Ci Song and said, "Junior Brother Ci, I hope you can accept it."

Ci Song looked at the green crown in front of him and took it directly without much hesitation. He knew in his heart that Bai Ye was "entrusting the orphan".

Taking the crown in hand, it was cool and warm. A faint fragrance of ink emanated from the crown, and then I felt that my whole body was extremely cool, and then a vague warmth came from the crown, soothing Ci Song's soul.

"Thank you, senior brother Bai Ye." Ci Song said to Bai Ye.

Duanmu Qingcang, Zhong Qi and Zeng Xiangteng, who were on the side, also bowed their hands to Ci Song and said: "Today is the crowning ceremony of Junior Brother Ci Song. The three of us are here to wish Junior Brother Ci Song that from now on, he will be successful in his aspirations, his heart, and his future. Only by restoring etiquette, cultivating both civil and military skills and never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.”

Ci Song put the crown given by Bai Ye on his head and tied the green silk hanging down on his chest with the tassels on the crown. Then he cupped his hands to Duanmu and the others and said, "Thank you for your blessing, senior brother. I will live up to everyone's expectations." ”

Then he saw Zhongqi taking off the jade pendant tied with a red rope around his waist and handing it to Ci Song, "Junior Brother Ci, this is the jade pendant I have worn since childhood and I have kept it with me. Now I will give it to you." , it’s my thoughts for you as a senior brother.”

After saying that, Zhong Qi handed the fish-shaped jade pendant to Ci Song. Zeng Xiangteng, who was standing beside him, his eyes widened when he saw the appearance of the jade pendant. He then raised his head and looked at Zhong Qi with an incredulous look, and pursed his lips. But said nothing.
