The popularity of "Classic Chanting" poked in our hearts: When can I write such a beautiful sentence that will be told through the ages? For thousands of years, this knot has been puzzling scholars all over the world.

First, young master, most of them are from scholarly families.

When it comes to Tian Tuan, who became famous as a teenager, he is the four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty, while Wang Yang and Luo Lu are both noble families.

Wang Bo is the grandson of Wang Tong in Hedong. Eight generations ago, there were works to be named. At the age of nine, Wang Bo read Yan Shigu's Notes on Hanshu and wrote ten volumes of Finger Defects, pointing out Yan Shigu's mistakes.

Yang Jiong's great-grandfather was Sui Qing, and his grandparents and father were both senior officials in the Tang Dynasty. Yang Jiong is an eleven-year-old "Hong Wen Pavilion Ambassador".

At the age of seven, he wrote the famous poem Ode to Goose, "Goose, Goose, Goose, Xiang Tiange. White hair floating green water, red palm clear waves. " Wang Luobin, whose father is Qingzhou Bochang county magistrate.

Lu was born in a noble family in Youzhou, and studied elementary school and history with Wang. When he was less than 20 years old, he signed an official seal for Deng, and was called "I am like you" by Deng Wang.

Ten thousand hours, everyone is equal before the law! This super F4 was also completed 10000 hours ahead of schedule with the help of family members. The so-called talent, getting married and starting a business is more reliable.

Second, success is the result of long-term struggle.

Here, we call articles that have been widely circulated for thousands of years "handed down from generation to generation" and articles that have only been preserved but not widely circulated "preserved from ancient times". We found that any author of "Handed Down" has written many "Handed Down".

For example, Confucius, we are familiar with The Analects, but the contents of the Six Classics are almost unknown to the world. For example, Wang Yangming, we are familiar with the "unity of knowledge and action" and "four-sentence teaching", but we are rarely interested in most of the contents of the Complete Works of Wang Wencheng; For example, Xu Zhimo has 15 works in addition to the world-famous Farewell to Cambridge, which is only for professional readers to study.

There are hundreds of "handed down" as the denominator, and it is possible to produce a "handed down". A "masterpiece handed down from generation to generation" is like a craftsman who slowly and steadily produces high-quality products, and occasionally makes a masterpiece. Behind every "surviving prose" as the denominator, there are hundreds of "ordinary prose" and "practical prose" that we can't see.

The author estimates that the basic workload behind each handed down article is about 30 thousand hours. Therefore, we can see that the living conditions of these "wonderful hands" are mostly "books never leave, pens never stop". Those children's shoes that don't take books for a week and don't write for a month are doomed to miss this.

Third, amateur players who write deeply.

For a long period of history, articles and calligraphy were only common expression tools of ancient literati, and there was no such profession as writer and calligrapher. What we should pay attention to is that today, hundreds of years after the emergence of professional writers and calligraphers, in most scenes, the expression of professional writers has not surpassed the realm of amateur players before, and so has calligraphy. Why?

The article carries the Tao, the first-class article carries the first-class knowledge, and there must be cognition that can overcome history in the excellent works that can be passed down through the ages. The knowledge of others must come from the experience of others.

Sun Tzu's Art of War was born in the Spring and Autumn Period of 5 12 BC. Sun Tzu's understanding of the nature of victory far exceeded that of that era, so it did not attract the attention of the mainstream society at that time. The first wave of "Sun Tzu fever" appeared in the history of China in the Warring States Period hundreds of years later.

With the increase of war practice, people's understanding of the law of war tends to be more and more essential, and they also realize the value of the art of war. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, said, "Look at the art of war, there is no Sun Wu." . During his stay in Song Shenzong, Sun Tzu's Art of War was finally regarded as a "military classic" by the government. At this time, it has been more than 1500 years since the death of grandson.

Good works are truth-oriented, not market-oriented Therefore, Li Bai said that "the sober people and saints in the old days were forgotten".

Here we can get a simple formula:

Masterpieces handed down from generation to generation = superb knowledge+superb expression.

But even this would not be enough Because there is still a pit beyond redemption, once in the pit, no matter how high the talent is, it is also called utilitarian heart. We must avoid this "must or not".

The tragedy of the champion: the imperial examination has no excellent works and no achievements in its life.

In the history of imperial examinations in China 1200, 592 top scholars were born, and their denominators were hundreds of thousands of scholars, millions of juren and hundreds of millions of ordinary scholars who did not strive for fame. But I can't find a champion article that has been passed down through the ages.

It's not that the children's shoes that took part in the palace exam didn't meet the standard, but that under the temptation of great wealth, the utilitarian heart was hard to restrain, and naturally it was far away from that "accident".

The tragedy of the champion is not limited to this. After winning the title of champion, people who want to be lazy have a "tool that can be easily realized" without any effort; People who want to struggle have a great pressure and attach themselves to a great aura. Most of them live in this life and have no names. A teacher in Tsinghua said, "Many people bid farewell to the peak of their lives at the moment they were admitted to Tsinghua." .

A good article is not utilitarian, but a natural expression of true feelings. There is no room for hypocrisy, no room for affectation.
