Yang Zhizhong's Evaluation of the Characters in The Scholars

To evaluate Yang Zhizhong, we should start with a poem:

I dare not do anything, just because I have read the running script.

First frost and the scorching sun have passed, and the next spring breeze has come to Caolu.

I like poetry. I feel that although Yang Zhizhong is pedantic, he is still quite literary, which makes me admire his poetic talent. I just think it should be more than four sentences, so Baidu bought this poem. The result surprised me. The real source of this poem comes from Lu Sicheng in Yuan Dynasty. The original poem is as follows:

Drama title

Why should the old lady be more hesitant when cooking in spring clothes?

You can cook with vinegar in the bottle, but you can't buy fish with the money in the bag.

I dare not do anything, just because I have read the running script.

Frost and scorching sun have passed, and the next spring breeze comes to the hut.

I didn't expect Mr. Wu's satirical techniques to be everywhere, but we readers never tried to understand these details. ? From this stolen poem, it can be seen that Yang Zhizhong is not only shallow in knowledge, but also poor in exams (according to Yang Zhizhong himself, he took the exam 16 or 7 times before winning the prize). He also likes to steal the poems of his predecessors for himself (his poems were inscribed by Yang). Deceiving knowledge is a cheap behavior, which makes the Confucian scholars in the world the most shameless.

The appearance of Yang Zhizhong is the inevitable result of thousands of coincidences. First, the two sons of Lou's family met Zou Jifu, who was guarding his grave, on their way home. It stands to reason that Zou Jifu lives in a rural mountain village and is ignorant. Lou's son is one of the best figures in Beijing. How can he have the same language as this common people? The first coincidence is that Zou Jifu inadvertently relayed Yang Zhizhong's complaints in his conversation with Lou's son, which just fits the temper of the two Lou's sons and thinks that he can meet a bosom friend in this rural mountain village.

With the help of Lou's son, Yang Zhizhong was finally free from his cell. After he was released from prison, Yang Zhizhong's first thought was not to find a benefactor to give thanks, but to go back to his hometown to hide. For Lou's son, who values feudal ethics, he regards such an ungrateful person as a worldly master who is not bound by ethics, so he bows down and visits twice. When I met Yang Zhizhong for the third time, Mr. Wu also used "three visits to the cottage".

On the other hand, let's take a look at Yang Zhizhong's performance: when the two sons of Lou's family went to visit Yang Zhizhong, the old lady sent him a message and he punched and kicked. We can see that Yang Zhizhong is cruel in his bones. Confucian scholars never regard violence as shameful behavior, but this kind of behavior can be so natural and seamless in Yang Zhizhong.

How is Yang Zhizhong's ability? In the book, Zou Jifu confessed that this person did not take the exam in his studies and kept accounts for others. It's also a mess. The master had to calculate the account himself and found that he owed six or seven hundred and twenty pieces of silver. Master just complains, and Yang Zhizhong is also quibbling. The master was furious and sent him to see the official. It can be said that Yang Zhizhong's imprisonment is also self-inflicted.

These are already very funny, plus Yang Zhizhong has two sons who are illegitimate children. I was spoiled since I was a child, and I have been gambling and drinking since I grew up. Yang Zhizhong, who values reading, ignores education, indulges his two children and finally makes them garbage people in society. To this end, Mr. Wu Lao wrote two jokes with Gray. Once, before Lou's two sons came to visit, Zou Jifu took some food to Yang Zhizhong to make him look better. As a result, he met his gambling drunk son and went home. As soon as he entered the room and rummaged for change, he smelled the aroma in the pot. When he opens the pot, he will eat boiled chicken. ? The other place is in Lou Gongzi's house. Yang Laoliu stole 600 pence (also a rogue liar) hidden in the bedside and lost the bet. He also plausibly said, "Uncle, you and I were once alone, yours is mine and mine is yours. What's the difference? " This typical rogue image is vividly on the paper.

What's even more funny is that Yang Zhizhong came to Loufu, but he didn't show much knowledge. Instead, he took the old six and drank a little wine every day, and his life was not good. He also introduced his rights to Lou's son. In the book, Yang Zhi talks about the Central Plains: This man does have the ability to remember the past and be a teacher of the future. It is really' true Confucianism is in its place, and Wang Zuo is in its place'. It can be seen that Yang Zhizhong is not only ignorant, but also has a low standard of judging people. ? The article mentioned that Quan Yong was wanted by the government for occupying a nun. At this time, Yang Zhizhong's reaction was "Mr. San and Mr. Si have said since ancient times that' bees sting people, take off your clothes and leave quickly'." Since he did such a thing, gentlemen have taken great care of him. Now I'm going to tell him to hand him over to the police and wait for him to take care of himself. "It can be seen that Yang Zhizhong's strategy of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages towards his friends is quite different from the Friendship he recommended to Lou Gongzi.

To sum up, it is not difficult to find that Yang Zhizhong is stupid in reading. Not only is his knowledge structure simple and rough, but he doesn't even have the basic character of being a man, let alone the ability to survive in society and educate future generations. It happened that he was targeted by Lou's son, who is a noble family. I have to say that this is the credit of Zou Jifu.

Will the people leave pearls? I think there may be, but it's really rare. Back to the beginning of The Scholars, Wang Mian only knew a few paintings, and with cowardice, he didn't cooperate with the government, which became a classic. It was really ironic.

This is enough for Yang Zhizhong's comments. This kind of inferior stuff, who doesn't even have the ability to survive, can't even do basic knowledge and can't even run a good family, is accidentally regarded as a guest. The Scholars is really a masterpiece of satire.

Deer comment: China people have the custom of visiting sages and hermits since ancient times, which is really a big mistake. Shan Ye may have lost his legacy. However, if there are hidden people, they will indulge themselves, and even if they are found, what is the value, not to mention a lot of liars. ? Confucianism takes the rise and fall of the world as its own responsibility, such as people like Yang Zhizhong, but they are rubbish at the bottom of society, so why bother to turn it out and smell it?
