Everyone was full of praise after reading it. This is a woodcutter. At first, he said he was too careless. Let him go to Langya Mountain. Ouyang Xiu actually went, and after reading it, he changed the beginning to "All Chuchu Mountains". It can be seen that Ouyang Xiu has great respect for literature, can accept all kinds of opinions, and relies on talents without arrogance.
When Ouyang Xiu was an academician, he went out to play with friends and saw a dog killed by a carriage. Let others write a narrative about this matter, and everyone pondered it and said it. Some said that "there was a yellow dog lying on the road, which was startled by the horse, ran away and trampled to death with its hoof"; Some say that "the yellow dog lies in the thoroughfare and escapes from the horseshoe to kill it" and so on.
Ouyang Xiu laughed and said, "We are bookmakers. How can we use such complicated words?" Then I said, "Take the lead, kill the dog in the road", and these words have already expressed things completely. Hearing this, everyone admired Ouyang Xiu's concise wording.
Ouyang Xiu, 1007, from Sichuan. He lost his father when he was very young, so he lived alone with his mother. Ouyang Xiu is a hardworking and open-minded person. He once visited Langya Mountain. Because a woodcutter said that the beginning of his Drunk Pavilion was too long, he got a more perfect Drunk Pavilion.
2, no Bole, only talented.
During the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Jinshi won the first place in the imperial academy exam many times. Because of the strange sentences in his article, students followed suit one after another, forming a strange and flashy atmosphere for a while. Ouyang Xiu hates this style of writing and always wants to clean it up.
This year, Ouyang Xiu presided over the Jinshi exam, stipulating that all candidates who wrote difficult articles would not take the exam. One candidate wrote in the article: "Heaven and earth roll, everything grows, and saints grow." It means: heaven and earth are divided, everything begins to grow, and great men come out. Ouyang Xiu thought: "This person must be Liu Ji!"
So he jokingly continued to write: "The scholar stabbed the official brush." It means: if your scholar's article goes against reason, the examiner will brush you down! He also painted the article horizontally from beginning to end with a big red pen, called "Red Les" and labeled it "Big mistake". Later, it was discovered that this person was indeed Liu Ji. As a result, the style of writing in the examination room changed, and everyone learned to write rich and concise articles.
A few years later, Ouyang Xiu served as the examiner of the imperial examination and found that Liu Ji had come to take the examination again. Ouyang Xiu said: "We should thoroughly eliminate evil. Today, we must severely reprimand these frivolous students to eradicate the scourge of the literary world. " He found a sentence in Yao Shun's Benevolence and Government Fu written by a candidate: "Therefore, life is prolonged by quietness, and the five emperors live a long life; Moving and being brave is the punishment of the four deadly sins. "
It means: therefore, if you can get peace, you can keep in good health and live longer than the five emperors; If you are impulsive and reckless, you will be punished unexpectedly. Ouyang Xiu chose this person as the first. When posting, I found that the candidate's name was Liu Hui. Someone told Ouyang Xiu that Liu Hui was Liu Ji, and he even changed his name in order to completely change his style of writing. Ouyang Xiu was very moved.
Ouyang Xiu discovered many talents by vigorously reforming the style of writing. Under his impetus, they all became famous artists, including Wang Anshi, Su Shi and Su Zhe.
Ouyang Xiu was a famous writer in Northern Song Dynasty. Once, he was entrusted by a close friend to write an article entitled "The Story of Zhou Jintang". Ouyang Xiu chose words and sentences and deliberated repeatedly. After writing the article, he ordered an officer to ride a horse and send it to his friend.
But in the evening, Ouyang Xiu suddenly remembered something and immediately ordered his servant to say, "You ride a fast horse to chase the official who sent Wen and let him bring it back!"
"Sir, that officer is already a hundred miles away. It's night. How can he catch up!" Said the servant. "You must catch up with him anyway, even if my article has been sent, you must find a way to get it back!"
When the servant saw that his master was so determined, he quickly got on the horse, cut corners, took shortcuts, and chased after him desperately. Finally, he caught up with the official and took the article back. Why does Ouyang Xiu have to get the article back? Originally, the word "and" was added.
There are two sentences at the beginning of Zhou Jintang Ji: "When you become an official, you will go to your hometown with your money." The word "he" was not in the manuscript, and Ouyang Xiu withdrew the article only to supplement it.
Is it a fuss to bother to add two words? No, although these two words are not added, the beginning of the article is not wordless, but after the addition, the tone of the article is quite different from the original, that is, from straight to curved, from urgent to slow, showing Ouyang Xiu's tortuous artistic style.
Ouyang Xiu's rigorous creative attitude is an example for us to learn. Screenwriters can still do this. As a primary school student, we should form a good habit of seriously revising our composition from an early age and strive to achieve a good situation of "language is not surprising and never stops".
4. In the 19th year of Song Tiansheng, the imperial court held an examination, and Ouyang Xiu served as invigilator. Many candidates expect him to be lenient and have brought gifts to see them, and the threshold is about to be broken.
One day, the son of a traitor in the imperial court came to see Ouyang Xiu with a generous gift and asked him for mercy. Ouyang Xiu refused on the spot. He said, "Call me bending the law, delusion!" Say that finish, throw the gift out the door. The son was bored and left in frustration.
Afterwards, Ouyang Xiu's wife Yang said timidly, "His father is an official of the imperial court, and he is an official. He can't afford to offend! " Ouyang Xiu said indignantly, "What are you afraid of? If you can't be an official, you will return to your hometown in Jiangxi. " Yang was moved by her husband's integrity and looked at him affectionately, praising and worrying.
5. As a teenager, Ouyang Xiu was born in a poor family and ran around to make a living and study. One day when he was twelve years old, he hurried to Xiangyang City with an endorsement bag. When he saw the gate closed, he looked up and saw an old soldier guarding the gate. He saluted and said, "Would you please open the door and let the students into the city?"
The veteran asked, "Who is at the door? Why go to town now? " Ouyang Xiu replied: "Literati came from afar and stayed in the city." The veteran dared not open the city gate illegally, but he admitted that he was a very polite and eloquent student. He stood up sympathetically and said, "Since I am a scholar, I will send you a pair of couplets. If I do it right, I will let you go to town." If you can't get it right, come in tomorrow morning. "
Ouyang Xiu replied: "Yes." The veteran read: "Open early and close late, let the guests pass." Hearing this couplet, Ouyang Xiu seemed to say it casually. In fact, when overlapping words are used together, cleverness is hidden. Then he said, "It's easy to be a couple, but difficult to be a couple. Please correct it first. " The veteran shouted, "I want you to be right!" " "Ouyang Xiu said with a smile," The students are right. " The veteran thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and immediately went downstairs and opened the door.
At this point, perhaps young friends will ask: "couplets pay attention to the equality of words." Since there are eleven words in the upper couplet, how can there be sixteen words in the lower couplet? " In fact, this couplet is: turn off the switch early, and let the passengers pass customs at night. It's easier to do it right than to do it right. Please ask Mr. Wang first.
