Preface:
The civil and military officials in front of the emperor were stumped by a link.
The emperor personally came up with the question, and the words were as imposing as a rainbow: "The lights are bright and the moon is bright, and the Ming Dynasty is unified", which not only hides ingenuity, but also contains majesty.
No one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to deal rashly, for fear that if he was careless, he would laugh at the court.
But just when everyone was embarrassed and silent, a six-year-old child stepped forward generously, opened his mouth, and said a chapter! What kind of genius is this? How did he shake the dragon's face in one fell swoop in front of everyone's eyes?
Gifted, with a lot of interesting childhood stories
Born in an ordinary family in Shuyang, Jiangsu, the name Peng Yinshan may not have been heard of by you and me.
But during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, he was a famous prodigy.
This amazing kid has loved to study books for as long as he can remember.
It is said that when he was two or three years old, he was able to memorize the tomes such as "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" in one breath.
It's incredible! At this age, children from ordinary families can recognize a few simple words at most.
But Peng Yinshan has been able to comprehend these classic works that contain traditional wisdom.
At the age of four or five, Peng Yinshan's talent is even more blooming.
He was able to come up with some neat verses! You must know that poetry and poetry are the housekeeping skills of literati and artists, how can ordinary children easily control them? But this little bit has such an amazing talent.
Men and women, young and old, have to praise "not simple" when they see it! The Peng family was originally an ordinary family, and his father was a petty official, and his life was passable.
But the son's talent is so high, the father naturally doesn't want to bury it.
So Peng Yinshan spent his childhood under the careful teaching of his father.
What an honor it is for a child to read and write with his father every day, learn poetry and songs!
You know, how could ordinary children at that time have such an opportunity to receive systematic education? The surrounding neighbors soon learned about this incredible prodigy and came to the door to ask for advice.
Since then, the name of "prodigy Peng Yinshan" has spread all over the land of Jiangnan.
Poetry and songs, a talent that everyone envies
In traditional Chinese culture, poetry and poetry can be said to be the standard skill of literati and artists.
can recite poems and write poems, and the couplets are like a treasure, such a talent is simply admirable.
After all, poetry creation requires not only a wealth of knowledge, but also extraordinary understanding and talent.
After all, there are very few people who can reach this realm.
But Peng Yinshan is such a wonderful person.
He followed his father to study in Jiangnan since he was a child and received the best edification.
Coupled with his talent, he soon had the reputation of "prodigy".
People know that he can be in couplets, and he is often tested for nothing.
The adults are giving him a good couplet to see what else he can do.
But Peng Yinshan has never disappointed everyone.
Seven words and eight sentences, amazing and elegant, easy to come.
How can such a performance not be amazing? Over time, his reputation in the Jiangnan area has grown.
Many dignitaries and dignitaries came here to see the demeanor of this prodigy.
Peng Yinshan's poetry skills were also outstanding among adults at that time.
Someone once examined the poems he wrote when he was a child, and found that there were many amazing strokes in them.
The language is refined, the charm is long, and the meaning is profound, which is really not like it came from the hands of young children.
It can be seen that Peng Yinshan is indeed a rare poetry genius.
But his talent doesn't stop there.
It is said that he can also swing at will, and his calligraphy is strong and powerful, and he is a calligraphy genius.
A child, Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, such a comprehensive development is really rare.
It is no wonder that countless literati and writers at that time praised him and regarded him as a long-awaited rookie in the literary world.
与亲觐天子，皇帝亦赞不绝口
In the prosperous Ming Dynasty, both culture and martial arts were promoted.
The emperor at that time, Zhu Di, was a very accomplished emperor.
He worked hard to recruit talents from all over the world, hoping to continue the foundation of Emperor Taizu.
This wise monarch naturally heard of Peng Yinshan's name.
It's hard to find a six-year-old child so talented that he's so talented! Zhu Di knows in his heart that the future of the country lies in the younger generation.
In order to make Daming's foundation evergreen, it is necessary to recruit the world's heroes and let talented people show their abilities.
So, Zhu Di issued an order to summon Peng Yinshan to meet him.
On that day, in the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together.
Zhu Di was full of interest and personally gave everyone a couplet: "The light is bright and the moon is bright, and the Ming Dynasty is unified."
This uplink means that the prosperity of the world is peaceful, the country and the people are safe, which can be described as ingenious.
But what Zhu Di didn't expect was that the ministers were silent, and no one answered.
You know, these are all court officials, and they are very knowledgeable, how can they not deal with an uplink? Just as everyone was looking at each other, Peng Yinshan, who was only 6 years old, suddenly came out of the queue and bowed his hand and said: "Junle Chenle, Yongle Wannian."
This couplet is not only neat and tidy, but also symbolizes the unity of the monarch and the minister, wishing the saint to enjoy peace and prosperity forever.
Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this, and clapped his hands again and again.
From then on, he looked at this peculiar child differently.
After returning from the audience, Peng Yinshan became famous in the government and the opposition for a while.
Being appreciated by the Holy One is not an honor that ordinary people can enjoy.
The Peng family was overjoyed.
Since then, Zhu Di has also cared for Peng Yinshan.
He personally arranged for Taifu to teach this little genius and let him receive the best education.
It can be said that Peng Yinshan has embarked on the pinnacle of his life.
He has risen to the top, as if he is already a rare pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
Some people even asserted that if Peng Yinshan develops step by step in the future, he will become a minister who assists the Son of Heaven and Kuang Fu Sheji in the future.
Such a reputation really makes Peng Yinshan's career as bright as a starry sky.
A generation of prodigies, unparalleled literary talent and died young
Time flies, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Peng Yinshan is 14 years old.
He thrived under the careful cultivation of the emperor, and his knowledge and literary brilliance flourished.
The Ming Dynasty seems to have ushered in another Wenqu star.
His father was even more promoted, and he tended to follow the Son of Heaven step by step.
This person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven, which was the envy of countless people.
However, God is jealous of the talent.
Just when everyone thought that Peng Yinshan had a bright future, misfortune quietly came.
When he was 14 years old, Peng Yinshan suddenly contracted a serious illness and finally died of depression.
When the news reached the capital, Zhu Di was overwhelmed with grief and lost his minister.
He personally ordered a grand funeral for Peng Yinshan.
This prodigy, who is the envy of people, has fallen, leaving a full stomach and nowhere to show.
Peng Yinshan's untimely death cannot but be said to be a loss for the entire Ming Dynasty.
Think about it, if he lives a long and healthy life, how much will he contribute to the country? However, the heavens did not grant people's wishes.
Just as this rising star was shining, it suddenly fell.
This can't help but make people sigh.
Perhaps God is always jealous of the geniuses of the world.
Otherwise, why would they be cruelly taken away when they were in their prime? Although Peng Yinshan passed away, his otherworldly talent and commendable conduct remained in people's hearts forever.
后世之人每每提起，无不唏嘘不已。
They use poetry and songs to remember this unborn prodigy, and use legendary stories to interpret his short but brilliant life.
This Jiangnan boy has been sleeping in the depths of history like this, but his name has been reviewed and praised over and over again.
Maybe that's the magic of talent.
Even if you die, you can never forget it.
Counting the Ming Dynasty, it is a pity that there are many geniuses
Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, there are really many prodigy wizards like Peng Yinshan.
This eventful season has seen the emergence of many remarkable legends.
They either acted spontaneously or had great ambitions, and they all had a bright trajectory in the starry sky of history.
For example, Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu, and Xu Zhenqing, known as the "Four Great Talents of Jiangnan", are all outstanding literary leaders.
Another example is Hai Rui, who has the heart of the world, and Yu Qian, who is iron-faced and selfless, have won the praise of later generations for their outstanding political achievements and upright character.
There are also thinkers Wang Yangming and Li Zhen, and art masters Shen Zhou and Dong Qichang...... These dazzling names have become symbols of that era.
However, geniuses are always prone to death.
Just like Peng Yinshan, there were many geniuses in the Ming Dynasty, who died at a young age.
Zhu Zaiyuan, the head of the "Twenty-first History", died at the age of 26; Li Panlong, one of the "first seven sons" in the poetry world, only lived for 36 years; Kang Hai, the head of the "Five Talented Sons of Jiangzuo", died young at the age of 34.
These pearls, which should continue to shine in the long river of history, fell halfway due to various reasons, which cannot but be said to be the sadness of the entire era.
In addition, there were some geniuses in the Ming Dynasty who encountered ups and downs and were depressed.
Like Li Zhen, he was full of ambition, but he angered the powerful because of his outspoken advice, and was relegated to a remote mountain town, and finally died in a foreign country.
Another example is Yang Lian, a scientist who has studied both Chinese and Western, and was sentenced to death for the crime of "admiring foreign countries".
The list goes on.
It is said that "late bloomers", but unfortunately history often does not give geniuses too many opportunities to grow.
Of course, there are young people who have aspirations, but most of them die depressed.
Perhaps this is a microcosm of the "hidden worries of the prosperous world".
Borrowing the past as a metaphor for the present, Mo Shaohua is diligent in learning
Confucius Ziyun: "The future is terrifying, but how do you know that the future is not now?" "Every era has its own unique temperament and breeds different talents.
Today, although we are not as talented as Peng Yinshan, we are also shouldering the mission given by the times.
Contemporary society is developing with each passing day.
Knowledge is power, innovation is the engine.
As young people in the new era, we should take Peng Yinshan as an example, study hard, be brave in innovation, and move forward bravely on the road of life.
Even if you don't have amazing talent, as long as you keep acquiring knowledge, you will one day be able to make a difference in your field.
Peng Yinshan's life is a dazzling but fleeting meteor.
But what he left to future generations is an eternal spiritual wealth.
The attitude of being diligent in learning and inquisitive, and the feelings of being loyal to the monarch and patriotism and having the world in mind are all worthy of our study.
I hope that the young people of the new era can take Peng Yinshan as a mirror, work hard, and live up to their time.
Even if you don't have extraordinary talent, you must use unremitting efforts to achieve yourself worthy of the times.
epilogue
Young people are not perfect, and they need to be humble and encouraged.
May you and I uphold a humble heart and pursue our dreams in a down-to-earth manner.
Don't be disappointed, let life bloom with the most gorgeous colors! No matter whether the road ahead is smooth or full of thorns, we must create our own brilliant life with Peng Yinshan's perseverance and fearlessness.
