The day of the club is set on the third day of the third month of March, the Shangsi Festival. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zeng Dian and Confucius said, the twilight of spring, the spring clothes are completed, the crown is five or six, the boy is six or seven, bathing, the wind is dancing, and the song returns, it is said that it is the activity of the Shangsi Festival.

On this day, the flowers bloomed just right, and the spring breeze was blowing.

Lin Yanchao and the members of the Wenlin Society went to the Yiyuan of Jiuxian Mountain.

Xu's father and son and their servants had already set up the venue, and in addition to a few people, more than 100 scholars also came.

Before Lin Yanchao arrived, all the readers had a glance at Yi Garden, and they also went to the Red Rain Building to borrow books, and then they all felt that Lin Yanchao's choice of this place for the society was really good!

Most of these readers are scholars who come in the name of Mulin Yanchao, and some of them are relatives and friends invited by the members of the club who want to join the Wenlin Society, and some are to increase their experience, or they are in the city to participate in the Yaji Walk and brush up their prestige, and so on.

When the members arrived, it was already afternoon, and everyone gathered in a wide area of Yi Garden, and the ground was already covered with reed mats, and everyone sat on the ground.

After Lin Yanchao arrived, everyone stood up and bowed, and Lin Yanchao also waved it, which can be regarded as a courtesy.

The club needs to have a host, and Lin Yanchao, who is the head of the club, needs to appear in person, and Weng Zhengchun, Chen Cai, the two vice presidents, and the host Xu? They are all seated on the side of the table to show the difference.

But seeing that Lin Yanchao said a few words of welcome after the opening remarks, he said: "Today is the first gathering of my Wenlin Society, I will first make three chapters of the law, set three rules, and make it clear to you here." ”

Everyone said: "Although Lin Xie Yuan is coming, I will listen to you." ”

Lin Yanchao's eyes swept over everyone and said: "First, my Wenlin Society is only set up to learn the meaning of the scriptures and figure out the eight shares, and only talk about the book of Confucius and Mencius and the righteousness of the Five Classics. Don't talk about Xuanchan, don't talk about Lao Zhuang, don't talk about calligraphy and painting, don't set up a feast, don't drink alcohol, and those who violate it will be rejected. ”

The meaning of Lin Yanchao's words is very clear. Let's just come to study hard, every day is upward, and those who want to come to enjoy the wind and the moon are exempt.

When everyone heard this, they all whispered about it.

Lin Yanchao said again: "Second, I don't talk about current affairs and government affairs, and I am not allowed to entangle members and disturb the affairs of the government, and those who violate it will be punished." ”

It turned out that Lin Yanchao was determined not to talk about it, but after discussion among the members. It is impossible for a scholar not to talk about current affairs at all, so Lin Yanchao changed it to not be allowed to entangle the members of the society and disturb the affairs of the government, for fear that he would repeat the mistake of resuming the society.

"Third, the matter of the Yaji is set once every half month, although it is voluntary. But it can't help but disturb the host, and the next time you gather. You and the collection, money and money, in order to be the cost of the society, it is tentatively set at a time three articles, if it is poor, with the head of the society. The deputy explanation can not be accepted. ”

Three dollars can buy six steamed buns, which is not in the eyes of most well-off scholars, so everyone has no objections.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao said: "Do you have any objections to these three rules? If you have any objections, you can go to them! ”

Listen to what Lin Yanchao said. None of the readers below said anything. Lin Yanchao said: "That is the case, everyone agrees, in the lower body as the head of the club, designate three supervisors to come, if it is a member of the club, any violation of the above three rules will be rejected!" ”

Social supervision is the existence of maintaining internal discipline.

But in the general literary and social collections, where is there such a strictness, there are a few scholars at the moment who said: "Xie Yuanlang and I came here to come unrestrained, and I went unrestrained, if there are so many rules, it is really uncomfortable." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The rules are set just to let you be unrestrained, for example, most of the scholars in the society want to specialize in scriptures and righteousness, but you suddenly mention calligraphy and painting to everyone, so dare to ask you that you are unrestrained, so are others unrestrained?" ”

Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, many people nodded at the moment and said, "Xie Yuanlang is right." ”

Chen Cai said on the side: "The Wenlin Society is not to invite everyone, but to choose like-minded people, stay if the road is the same, and go if the road is different." ”

After listening to Chen Cai's words, the two scholars got up and said: "This is really not our original intention to participate in the social gathering, so I will retire first." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The two of you go and stay for yourself!" ”

At that moment, the two left, but most of them still decided to stay, and some felt that they would listen to one or two first, and if it was not good, they would not come next time.

So Lin Yanchao designated Chen Xinggui, Ye Xianggao, and Zhang Haoyuan as social supervisors. All three of them were vigorous and resolute men, and they must be meticulous in their supervision.

At the moment, Lin Yanchao chose Mencius to explain, and while speaking, he talked to you about his understanding of the eight strands of Shiwen and the experience of governing the book when he participated in the imperial examination. Most of the people came for the future scientific examination, and they were very excited when they heard it, what kind of examination experience is the first person in the township examination, and the trick of writing articles.

Lin Yanchao and his two generations know what Shizi wants to hear most in his heart, and he has tutored Chen Xinggui, Huang Biyou, and Zhang Haoyuan before how they were admitted to Tongsheng, which is very attractive.

Lin Yanchao spoke for an hour, and all the scholars were still satisfied with it, and they couldn't wait for Lin Yanchao to continue talking.

However, Lin Yanchao is indeed tired of speaking, so let the scholars discuss it on their own, learn from each other, and digest what they have gained.

Seeing that everyone had a sense that this trip was worthwhile, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but nodded, it seems that lecturing is the king. I am copying the rising line of Gu Xiancheng and leading the Donglin Party.

However, when Gu Xiancheng returned to his hometown with the status of Hanlin, scholars came from all over the world, so he lectured and preached in Donglin. And Lin Yanchao is only lifting people now, and he can't compare with Gu Xiancheng, and it is unrealistic to give lectures, so he compromised and turned the Wenlin Society into a cram school for the imperial examination.

So Lin Yanchao became the king of tutoring.

However, the two of them have the same line, using their personal charm and appeal to win over a group of colleagues and gather disciples, so that the old relationship between master and apprentice can be formulated from top to bottom. Of course, Gu Xiancheng's greatest energy is that he once served as the editor of the Anthology.

Compared with the Donglin Party, it is not good for the scholars to have their own society, whether it is Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, or the later four sons of the Fushe Society, they do not have a leadership position with other branch members, but only an alliance, so they are not worthy of being compared with Gu Xiancheng in terms of influence.

From the beginning to the end, the resumption of the society was just a plate of scattered sand, and nothing happened.

As soon as Gu Xiancheng died, the Donglin Party no longer had such a figure with leadership appeal, so it declined, otherwise even Wei Zhongxian would not be able to fight. Of course, if the Donglin Party led by Gu Xiancheng wins Wei Zhongxian, it may not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

How much power to do how many things, now Lin Yanchao didn't think so far, Wenlin Society is just a township party. (To be continued.) )
