Cultural Journey —— A Tempering Pavilion

Tianyi Pavilion, the oldest library in China, has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, but it still shines brightly. A thousand years ago, Fan Qin built a building, and later generations guarded it, and Mr. Wang climbed it a thousand years later. They are different. They live in different times and have different lives, but they are very similar. They all have a name called scholar.

The Rain Pavilion is an article in Mr. Yu Qiu's Cultural Journey. This paper is always divided into eight parts with distinct levels. Each part tells different stories in different periods, which seem to be unrelated but closely connected.

At first, Mr Yu Qiu's landing was not smooth. Typhoon brought heavy rain, Tianyi Pavilion was washed away by rain, and the yard was full of rain. The wind and rain prevented Mr. Yu Qiu from swimming in the water, and the wind was very cold. But Mr. Yu Qiu just said, "I know the weight of Tianyi Pavilion, so I am willing to accept this arrangement of God, taking off my gentle clothes, taking off my leisure, taking off my shoes, grovelling and trembling."

This is a scholar's awe of books and culture. Mr. Yu Qiu looked at Tianyi Pavilion, and it was a thousand years at a glance.

From ancient times to the present, writing is an important medium for the inheritance of human mature civilization, and books gathered from writing play an important role in the inheritance process, but they are very fragile. It has too many enemies of life and death, books burned by the court, books destroyed by war, and books swallowed up by fire and water. It is not easy to pass down a book. Therefore, the accumulation of two hundred years can be scattered in one day, and the search of three thousand miles can be burned overnight, and books will last forever.

Fan Qin's life is a typical symbol of the life of outstanding literati in Ming Dynasty in China. After he entered the imperial examination, he was deliberately framed by treacherous court officials and further degraded by the emperor. During the trip, he began to collect books and do what he really wanted to do. Therefore, Fan Qin's life is also very enlightening to us. Maybe you have been busy with so-called official business and career all your life, but these careers are often not what you really want to do. This is not your most important contribution to the world. On the contrary, many things that you think are unprofessional are often your inner love. These careers are also places where you can achieve brilliance. You can know what you really want in your heart, regardless of outside gossip or other people's strange eyes. You just need to know my heart. Hell is also heaven.

Fan Qin has been looking for it all his life. He put all his efforts on Tianyi Pavilion, so that at the end of his life, all he thought about was his Tianyi Pavilion. Two sons have separate inheritance rights, and one got twenty-two thousand pieces of silver. This shows the weight of Tianyi Pavilion in Fan Qin's heart, and at the same time, the inseparable book has become a different method in Fan Qin.

In this way, an endless relay race began. Son will pass it on to son, and son will pass it on to son. Their family has been working hard to protect Tianyi Pavilion for generations. In order to protect Tianyi Pavilion, they made many rules. Children and grandchildren are not allowed to enter the cabinet for no reason, even offering sacrifices. Under such rules, there are too many innocent victims, and "Xiu Yun" is one of them. In order to climb the Tianyi Pavilion, they can have a look at those exquisite ones. She even married into the Fan family, but the rules of the Fan family are so strict. It is also one of the family rules to prohibit women from going upstairs. It is the sorrow of ancient women. In such an era of lack of humanistic atmosphere and freedom of marriage, a girl who wants to read more books through marriage is actually mediating with her fragile life and the culture of her time.

It is precisely because of the family rules of the Fan family that it is forbidden to climb the stairs to read books, which makes it an honor to get the qualification to climb the stairs later. For hundreds of years, only a dozen people have this qualification. This change is that Tianyi Pavilion finally has the opportunity to show the significance of the existence of skilled people, but this opportunity is so small. It was not until Qianlong decided to write Sikuquanshu that Tianyi Pavilion had a chance to shine, because it contributed many precious ancient books.

In the next few hundred years, this ancient library began to experience many different difficulties, such as stealing books and destroying them. In the face of thieves and Japanese shells, Tianyi Pavilion stood up. He watched and endured like an old man, and it became the most important cultural symbol. It looks at future generations, generations of China scholars, the immortal and endless China culture, and smiles with relief.
