three pools mirroring the moon: It was a famous private school in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty. Lu Xun studied here at the age of 12, and his teacher was Mr. Shou Jinghu. Three pools mirroring the moon, a small drawing room between three long rooms, was originally the study of the Shou family. Mr. Shou Jingwu has been teaching here for sixty years. The flavor of "three pools mirroring the moon": The "three pools mirroring the moon" mentioned by Mr. Lu Xun in his famous essay "From Herb Garden to three pools mirroring the moon" is near the former residence of Mr. Lu Xun in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, where Mr. Lu Xun studied as a teenager. So, why is it called "three pools mirroring the moon"? It turns out that the "three flavors" are derived from the old saying that "reading classics tastes like rice and beams, reading history tastes like yaozhuan, and reading hundred schools of thought tastes like acyl sugar". The general idea is: reading four books and five classics is the basis of eating rice and flour; Reading historical records tastes like drinking wine and eating delicious food: reading books such as hundred schools of thought tastes like sauce and vinegar (just like the seasoning in cooking). The horizontal tablet of "three pools mirroring the moon" was written by Liang Shanzhou, a famous calligrapher during the reign of Ganjia in Qing Dynasty. At that time, there was such a woodcut couplet hanging on both sides of the plaque: "I am silent and filial, and I am too fond of reading."
Some people say that the "three flavors" originated from Li Shu Bibliography. Li Shu said: "Poetry and calligraphy are too thick soup, history is miscellaneous, and children are acyl sugar, which is the three flavors of books." Shou Yu also disagreed with this.
Shouyu's uncle, Shouzhulin, explained: "The three flavors vividly compare the taste of reading ancient books such as Shi Shu and hundred schools of thought with three flavors. When I was young, I listened to my father and brother. Reading classics tastes like rice, reading history tastes like a dish, and reading hundred schools of thought tastes like acyl sugar. But where this code comes from is difficult to find. " This theory has a great influence, and Zhou Jianren, Lu Xun's third brother, is also inclined to it. However, Shouyu still disagreed. He said: "This explanation played down the rebellious spirit of ancestors against the Qing Dynasty. When I was young, my grandfather Shou Jingwu personally told me that the three flavors mean that the clothes are warm, the vegetables are fragrant, and the poetry is long. Cloth refers to the common people, and "warm cloth" means being a common people and not being an official or a master; Vegetable root fragrance' is to be satisfied with simple food and not to yearn for the enjoyment of delicacies; Poetry has a long taste' is to seriously understand the profound content of poetry, so as to obtain a deep and long taste. This first point,' warm clothes', is very important. This is the ideological core of my ancestors Feng Lan Gong and Yun Qiao Gong. The failure of the industry has made them see the decadent nature of the Qing Dynasty. They think that being an official in the Qing Dynasty, which has brought disaster to the country and the people, is to do harm to others and themselves. Therefore, three pools mirroring the moon's school-running direction is also regarded as the life guide of his descendants, and his descendants are not allowed to take the exam to be an official. They should be willing to be warm in cloth, fragrant in vegetables and taste the taste of poetry. " Shou Yu said that Shou Jingwu had told him before his death: "The meaning of these three flavors can't be told to outsiders, and it can't be seen in words. This is a family rule made by the ancestor Yun Qiao, because the spirit of' three flavors' has obvious anti-Qing tendency, and once it is spread, it may lead to fatal disaster." This is also the main reason for people's subjective speculation.
