Chapter 158: Skills that outshine others: Deciphering Chinese characters, composing new poems, and breaking stereotypes



For a moment, this group of people looked at Jia Shao with some fear.

Oh no, I’ve offended a real genius!

So which bastard is spreading the rumor that Jia Shao has "great ambitions but little talent"?

You tell me this is called 'lack of talent'?

Under the tingling gaze of a group of people.

Jia Shao continued without any pause: "The Zhouli says 'the tripod is lifted by a bull', which symbolizes the virtue of masculinity; the Liangshu says 'the good hoe is used to plow the field', which praises the hardship of farming. Therefore, 'casting Zhou' is not just about molding gold and mixing clay, but is actually the legacy of 'the millet is lowered to sow seeds' in the Book of Songs.

"The Book of Rites records that 'red writing on the ancestral vessels' inscribed merits to show credibility; the Book of Han mentions 'the picture of the Kirin Pavilion', which listed images to honor the virtuous. Therefore, 'engraving the Han Dynasty' is not just a matter of engraving, but actually means 'Emperor Xuan was thinking about the beauty of his limbs'."

"The theory of Zhou system is cited in the Book of Songs and Zhou Li. The view of Han family is cited in the Book of Han and Zuo Zhuan."

"'Dingmu' refers to ritual vessels, and 'red book' refers to historical records."

"So, if the title is 'The peony tripod was cast to inherit the millet of the Zhou Dynasty, and the red inscription was engraved to record the merits of the Han Dynasty', the answer to the question is -"

"The tripod is a national treasure; the inscription is a precious stone in the history. The 'peony tripod' symbolizes the foundation of agricultural achievements, and the 'red inscription' shows the prosperity of the king's career. The Zhou Dynasty established the foundation of the country with millet, and the Han Dynasty recorded its merits in bamboo slips. Both of them were used by sage kings to govern the world and show the future generations."

After solving the question.

Cui Xian looked at the group of people below who were all dazed, and asked as usual: "Do you have any objections?"

No one dared to answer.

This is no longer a matter of whether or not there is "objection"!

This is using talent to overwhelm others, pure show of skill!

It can be seen that Jia Shao was really annoyed, so he was not polite at all, citing classics and citing references extensively. From the simple word "peony", he broke down the characters and wrote a poem, breaking the eight-part essay, all in one go!

What's even more ironic is that the game of decomposing the word "peony" to identify the flower was the game they were playing just now.

Thinking about the words they had just used to mock Jia Shao while playing games, this group of scholars turned pale, lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to look Jia Shao in the eye.

There is no longer the previous arrogance and pride.

Especially the scholar in blue shirt, he sat back on the stool, stunned and speechless.

The young He Xu stared at Jia Shao for a long time and exclaimed: "Senior Brother Jia Shao is very talented."

Cui Xian nodded: "It's your turn."

Is it our turn?

What's 'coming to us'?

The scholars came back to their senses from their shock, and then their faces turned paler: Is it our turn to take the challenge?

ah?

Are you sure you want us to pick up the phone?

They suppressed their fear and looked at He Xu expectantly.

He Xu was silent for a long time, and finally he sighed. Under the stunned gaze of the scholars around him, he bowed to Jia Shao and said, "I am not very knowledgeable, and I don't think I can give a better answer than Brother Jia Shao."

"I……"

At this point, He Xu paused for a moment and said in a hoarse voice: "I am not as skilled as you, so I am willing to admit defeat."

hiss!

This is He Xu!

At only thirteen years old, he was the youngest juren in the Daliang Dynasty, and a more brilliant young prodigy than Cui Xian, the former "Daliang's No. 1 Prodigy".

But today, on this terrace, I am willing to admit defeat!

Where on earth did this peerless evildoer Jia Shao come from? !
