Michelle Ye advocated that "aiming high is the way of keeping in good health". In the past, some people thought that diligence and hard work would damage physical and mental health and affect life expectancy. Actually, this is not right. Michelle Ye believes that if a calligrapher wants to write a good hand, he should always "listen to the audience tirelessly, concentrate on it, and try his best to be honest and harmonious. The effect is of great benefit to physical and mental health." He also cited, for example, that there were many long-lived calligraphers in ancient times, such as Ou Yangxun, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty who wrote Jiuchenggong, who was 85 years old; Yu Shinan, the author of "The Monument to the Imperial Palace", lived to be 89 years old; Liu Gongquan, who wrote The Mysterious Tower, died at the age of 88. It can be seen that Michelle Ye's assertion has indeed been verified.
Modern scientific research has proved that the earlier the intense work of the human brain starts and the longer it lasts, the slower the aging speed will be. Therefore, if people want to grow old slowly, they must keep mental and physical activities. However, in the case that the workload and exercise of middle-aged and elderly people are relatively small after retirement, not only the muscles and bones of limbs, but also the thinking movement of the brain are needed, both of which are essential for prolonging life. Calligraphy is a combination of the two, so there is a scientific basis for saying that calligraphy can make people live longer.
Emperor Kangxi can observe the mystery of calligraphy longevity from the phenomenon of calligrapher's longevity, which has to be convincing and admired.
When solving equations in mathematics, people will always encounter "yuan", "degree" and "root (solution)" However, do you know who coined the mathematical terms "yuan", "times" and "root (solution)" (of course, it only refers to the Chinese translation of names)? You may not believe it, but it was Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Kangxi was an ambitious and studious monarch. He studied astronomy, mathematics, geography and Latin under the guidance of the Belgian missionary Ferdinand Verbiste. Although Emperor Kangxi was brilliant, it was not easy to listen to foreign teachers. Because Ferdinand ferdinand verbiest and others have limited knowledge of Chinese and Manchu, they can barely cope with daily conversations, but they are not enough to express their rigorous and profound scientific knowledge. At that time, most of the textbooks were in foreign languages, and even the Chinese version could not pass. In this way, there is bound to be a lot of energy spent on language communication in learning, and the progress is not fast.
But Kangxi studied hard and was patient. If you don't understand it at first time, please ask the teacher to say it again until you really understand it. When Ferdinand Verbist was talking about equations, his sentences were long and his pronunciation was unclear. Kangxi's mind is often very chaotic. How can I get the teacher to speak well? After thinking for a while, a wonderful method suddenly appeared. He suggested to Ferdinand ferdinand verbiest that the unknown should be translated into "yuan" and the highest number into "times" (finite integer equation), so that the values of the unknown on the left and right sides of the equation can be translated into "roots" or "solutions" ... Ferdinand ferdinand verbiest carefully wrote it down with a pen, and then replaced his original complicated words with these newly created terms: ". Ferdinand ferdinand verbiest stared at Kangxi in disbelief, looked blankly for a while, and suddenly embraced Kangxi according to the most cordial etiquette in the West: "I have been studying and teaching for decades, and I have never seen anyone who is willing to think like you, whether it is a teacher or a student!"
In the imperial diet of the Qing emperor, there was a coarse grain: corn porridge, in addition to delicacies and various exquisite foods. In De Ling's Notes on the Qing Palace, it was recorded that Empress Dowager Cixi loved to eat corn porridge. So, how did corn porridge get into the royal diet?
According to legend, Emperor Kangxi once went hunting in Changshanyu, Luanping with his attendants. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Emperor Kangxi was about to go back when he suddenly found a sika deer. He dashed after him. At this time, it was getting dark and the attendants didn't know where to go. Kangxi was so tired that he was panting and hungry that he had to ride back. After walking for a while, I suddenly saw a light in front. When I got closer, it turned out to be a farmhouse. Kangxi reined in his horse and saw an old man with white hair and his sons were about to eat from the window. There are steaming, brown corn dry food and fragrant corn porridge on the dining table, as well as stewed mushrooms with rabbit meat, roasted Flammulina velutipes and a large plate of cold dishes. The fragrance came in waves, which was really appetizing. Kangxi felt even hungrier at this time. He got off the horse and went into the farmhouse, saluted the family and said, "I passed by because it was late and I was hungry." I have to pay more money to borrow food. " The mountain people are straightforward and hospitable. As soon as they heard that guests were coming from afar, they immediately gave up their seats. After a few courtesies, Kangxi had dinner with his family. Kangxi felt that he had never eaten anything so delicious. But his favorite food is corn porridge, which is sticky, refreshing and looks good, just like pearl grains. Kangxi ate three bowls in a row. The family is very happy to see him.
After eating, Kangxi asked, "Who cooked such a delicious meal? Must be a clever wife? " The old man said, "No, my family has no daughters, only three sons. The eldest son went hunting, the second son went chopping wood, and the third son grew vegetables and cooked at home. This meal was cooked by the third son. " Kangxi saw his third son with fine eyes and liked it very much. Just then, the emperor's attendants saw the emperor's royal horse outside and found it. Only then did the family know that the bearer was the emperor, and they quickly kowtowed in fear. Kangxi said with a smile: "I am very happy to see your family enjoying peace happily!" He counted one hundred and twenty pieces of silver before riding away.
A few days later, Kangxi remembered the delicious corn porridge and sent someone to find the old man's third son and let him specialize in corn porridge in the imperial kitchen. Since then, corn porridge has been written into the chef's menu.
Kangxi's mother's calligraphy was very good, and she especially liked some copybooks of Zhao Han, a calligrapher at that time, so Kangxi learned them. Kangxi also enjoyed it. After studying for a while, Kangxi felt that it was almost enough, so he tried to write in the street. One day, as a scholar, he went to zhouzhi county for a private visit, spread out a piece of paper on the street and wrote, "The warbler returns to the swallow and quietly goes to Qiu Lai. I don't know the year of spring."
Because of negligence, he quietly lost the word "ran" Even so, he was overjoyed and said to himself, "I heard that there is a Zhao Han in Zhouzhi, and his handwriting is good. Who do you think is better at my calligraphy than Zhao Han? "
As soon as the voice fell, an old man added a little to the word "ran", which was just right. When Kangxi saw this, he was shocked and asked, "Is the old gentleman respectful?" Someone in the crowd said, "He is our Zhao Han this week!" Hearing that it was Zhao Han, Kangxi immediately invited him to the restaurant and asked for calligraphy during the dinner. Zhao Han also you're welcome, from writing to typesetting, from thinking to memorizing, speak clearly. Kangxi was fascinated and amazed: "Mr. Wang has profound knowledge, and his words of teaching should be a teacher's training." When breaking up, Kangxi exposed his identity and invited Zhao Han to Beijing as his knee. When Zhao Han heard that the emperor had arrived, he was scared and kowtowed again and again: "Long live the mirror, forgive me for being rude!"
Kangxi returned to Beijing on a private visit and wanted to test his mother's calligraphy vision, so he showed her the words written by Zhouzhi Street. Mother picked up these words and studied them for a while. She said: "Kangxi studied Chinese characters for ten years, only a little like Zhao Han." And points out Zhao Han's supplement to Kangxi. After hearing this, Kangxi showed more respect for his mother. Since then, he has been determined to learn Zhao Han's calligraphy.
In the TV series, Xiaozhuang poisoned Shunzhi, and Shunzhi's fate ended in becoming a monk. In fact, Shunzhi died of smallpox The time of death was the eighth day of June in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi.
Xiao Zhuang was not successful in educating his son, at least on the issue of Shunzhi marriage. Perhaps because of this, she put more energy into the grandson of the young emperor, demanding that Michelle Ye's words and deeds should conform to the norms of the empire. After Michelle Ye recovered from his pox, Xiaozhuang asked him to "study in the study" and also asked his grandson to "stand guard" and attend various bow-down ceremonies with ministers.
When Michelle Ye became a young emperor, Xiao Zhuang often told him, "If you win many people, you win the country". Once, my grandmother asked Kangxi's ambition in front of the ministers. Without thinking, he replied according to his grandmother's consistent teaching: "I only hope that the world will be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and share the blessings of peace." This answer really praised the officials present.
With the increasingly serious problem of autocratic power in Ao Bai, Kangxi, with the support and planning of his grandmother, began to implement the plan to capture Ao Bai. When Ao Bai went to the palace to see Kangxi, the chamberlain asked him to sit in a folding chair. Kangxi ordered tea and served it in a bowl cooked with boiling water. When Ao Bai picked up the tea, the bowl suddenly fell to the ground. Ao Bai bent down to pick it up, and the attendants behind him took the opportunity to throw themselves down. The Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty records that Empress Dowager Cixi did not interfere in the government affairs of the imperial court, and whenever the imperial court had major policies, Kangxi "appealed more before acting", which euphemistically stated Xiao Zhuang's pivotal role in the early years of Kangxi.
Kangxi lost his father at the age of eight and his mother at the age of ten, and he had a special attachment to his grandmother. On one occasion, Xiaozhuang went to Wutai Mountain to worship Buddha, and Kangxi prepared a sedan chair for eight people. Considering that it is inconvenient for the bearers to walk on the mountain road, Xiaozhuang insisted on going up the mountain by car. Kangxi secretly ordered the bearers to follow the car. Because the mountain road is bumpy, it is really unstable to ride, and Xiaozhuang looks sad. At this time, Kangxi ordered the sedan chair to go forward and came to grandma. Xiaozhuang was greatly moved, stroking his grandson's back and admiring: "You are sincere about the details such as the car and the road. This is the great filial piety."
In the 26th year of Kangxi (1687), Xiaozhuang fell ill at the age of 75. Kangxi couldn't take off his clothes, slept on an uneasy couch and stayed with his grandmother day and night for more than a month.
The mysterious maid in the palace-Aunt Summala
Sumatra did exist in history. Summala was a Mongolian in ancient times and was born in a herdsman's home in Horqin Department. I don't know the specific date of birth, but judging from her role as a dowry maid in Xiaozhuang, Aunt Su Mala should be about 40 years older than Kangxi and should be Michelle Ye's grandmother.
In the first year of Chongde (1636), Huang Taiji officially proclaimed himself emperor, changed his country name to Qing, and conferred five concubines, and Xiao Zhuang was the princess of Xiyongfu Palace. It was also in this year that Summala, as a "female scholar" of the Qing Dynasty, was ordered to formulate Manchu costumes. This shows that she has considerable cultural accomplishment and profound attainments in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese costumes.
Early grassland life and later experience beyond the Great Wall made Summala immediately practice extraordinary kung fu. She often goes out on horseback, handles all kinds of things for Xiaozhuang, and is the most effective maid around Xiaozhuang.
In those years outside Kangxi Vaccination Palace, Aunt Su Mala Tang really shouldered the heavy responsibility of educating Michelle Ye. According to "Xiao Ting Zalu Ma Su Lagu", when Michelle Ye was young, he "came to Qi Xundi to hand over his credentials". As can be seen from the existing Zhu Pi archives, Michelle Ye's Manchu writing is quite good, and this achievement of Kangxi is the result of Summala's ancient hands-on education.
Kangxi was only 8 years old when he ascended the throne, but he was undoubtedly precocious in terms of physical development and psychological age. Perhaps because of this, Kangxi married the granddaughter of Sony, the first of the four assistant ministers, in July of the fourth year of Kangxi under the will of his grandmother Xiaozhuang. At this time, Kangxi was only 1 1 years old. Look at this time of Summala ancient, should be at least about 50 years old, can't have any other affair with kangxi. And her worship of Wu Ciyou, a Han Chinese, is even more false.
Ma Su Lagu had some "strange ringworm" in his life. Xiao Ting Miscellaneous Notes said that she never took a bath once a year. Only on New Year's Eve, she scrubbed her body with little water and then drank dirty water herself. It is said that this is for "repentance". As for what is "confession", it is not clear.
Aunt Summala died in the forty-fourth year of Kangxi (1705) and was buried at the side of Zhaoxiling Mausoleum in Xiao Zhuang.
