Upo, Character Review of "The Scholars"

Uuraro is the touchstone of social integrity, warmth and warmth in the world, and wisdom in life.

Except for the fake name of Uopu's stolen Uobu, Uoporang actually has no name and can be called a person with a surname and no name. According to him, the so-called Urang is nothing but It's a place name from his grandmother's place. His parents passed away when he was young, and his grandmother took him with him without even giving him a name. This at least shows that his family is poor and lacks education. Such a gangster can survive in the world through poetry. This shows that the threshold for poetry is not high. It can even be said that it should not be difficult to earn a reputation in the society at that time by stealing a few poems.

When the monk saw Uopu reading poetry in the dim light of the nunnery, he was filled with pity and relief, so he had a conversation with Uupu. According to Uupo himself, he liked reading and felt that Reading sounds great. In fact, this is the nature of children. I remember when I was young, I played near the school. I always felt that it was very mysterious and the sound of reading was particularly attractive. However, given the situation in Uupo, it was impossible to have money to study. Especially after all the peers he played with entered school, Uupo's first loss in life began here.

To say that Upo is bad is not necessarily true. ?Upu's thirst for knowledge prompted him to do something. Since his family cannot afford his education, for a growing child, obtaining resources through various channels has become the most normal method, such as stealing.

I lost my parents when I was young and was raised by my grandmother. I had no money for education, and then I lived with my grandfather. My grandfather opened a small shop selling some incense and candles. This kind of shop dealt with the dead, so I barely Life is okay, but Uupo is required to complete his "career", but in fact it is a wasteland. In the feudal period, reading was the preserve of the rich. This kind of scholar-lord system has been followed for thousands of years and has hardly changed. The same is true here in Uupo. If you want to gain knowledge in Uupo, you can only learn by stealing. Niupu began to steal his grandfather's money for incense candles. It seems that there are still these shadows in our generation. It’s just that we have someone to guide us and we don’t go astray. How many people like Upo deserve sympathy for children from poor families?

In the monk's temple, Niupu recited it until the second or third watch every night. From this point of view, Upu really likes reading. Niupu's desire to learn began to expand with the collection of poems revealed by the old monk. Taking advantage of the old monk's absence, he began to pick the lock and "get it" by himself. For Niupo, the concept of stealing has long been blurred. To get something, do whatever it takes to get it. This is usually the most common method adopted by children from poor families. .

In the process of "study" in Uupo, he also got married once, to the granddaughter of the Bu family. The book does not give a positive description of Uopu's attitude, but only writes that Uupo "dare not disobey".

The turning point of things had to start with Niu Buyi's poem. The old monk went to Beijing. The real Niu Buyi was dead, and the real Niu Buyi's home was thousands of miles away. In underdeveloped times, this kind of trick of stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix into a phoenix happened countless times. For Uupo, who regards stealing as a means of livelihood, from stealing his own money to stealing monks' magical weapons to stealing cow commoners' name and reputation, it is natural and natural.

Although Uupo has never formally entered a school, he has learned some words through "self-study", which was already a very remarkable thing in ancient times. Even when he pretended to be Niu Buyi, even the magistrate of Dong County who was going to take office at that time came to pay a special visit. However, Niu Buyi, as a commoner, was only active in the government, working as a clerk or an errand boy for the government yamen. In today's terms, it is the role of a donor or master in the government office. From this we can see that Dong Zhixian's knowledge or character is not much higher. The so-called expert knows how to judge. If Dong Zhixian saw Uupo for the first time, he could not judge Uupo's knowledge. Then after that, he and Dong Zhixian often talked and composed poems together in the yamen. Dong Zhixian's knowledge was just like that. . Regarding this point, Mr. Wu used the technique of line drawing, which is really elegant without a single word.

It is even more ridiculous for the Huang family, who are always following the trend, to treat this good-for-nothing fake Niu Buyi as their guest, and even marry their daughter to Niu Pu as his wife. For a bad boy like Niu Pu who has no bottom line, all loyalty and rules are invalid. Not only does he not feel any guilt, he also happily accepts his second wife.

Niupo's courage began to grow as he came into contact with these characters. First, he stole his grandfather's money, and then he stole poems and monks' ritual objects. He met Dong Zhixian and discovered these so-called magistrates. He is also a idiot, and then he defrauded the daughter of the Huang family. All this is really the most natural and appropriate. Especially when he met the same old liar Niu Yupu on his way to Dongzhi County, he gradually realized that he could not keep the little conscience he had left.

There are several ridiculous things in the book, so I might as well share them with you objectively here:

First, Uupo made two seals, and Guo Tiebi asked Uupo to When they carved Niu Buyi's seal, they immediately regarded such a young gangster as Niu Buyi and respected him without taking any money;

Secondly, the two uncles of the Bu family heard that Niu Pu said that the family wanted Niu Puyi. When he came to the official position, he immediately changed his face and willingly acted as a servant carrying dishes;

?Thirdly, when Dong Zhixian was promoted, he did not forget to express his special instructions to the new county magistrate to take care of him. Good thing about this "Niu Buyi";

?Fourthly, when Zhen Nai Nai Nai Nai came to the door and went to the county government to file a lawsuit, the result of the lawsuit was that "there are too many people with the same name and surname in the world";

? Fifth, from then on, Upo posted a notice in his house that he would write poems for him.

At this point in the character review, even I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. What kind of group of Confucian scholars are they? How much real ability do these so-called scholars who take the world as their own mission have? The fact that they can't even see through such a cheap trick can only mean two things. First, true Confucianism may not necessarily be truly learned. For example, Fan Jin does not know Su Shi, and Ma Jing does not know Li Qingzhao. Second, there is actually no essential difference between true Confucian scholars and false Confucian scholars. They are all just a group of fame-seeking and profit-seeking people who either hug each other to keep warm, or Protect each other's shortcomings.

Niu Pu and Kuang Chaoren are two people with no essential difference. If there is any, one is a hypocrite on the surface and the other is a dirty villain in the dark.

At this point, the story of Uupo should have come to an end, but when I saw Chapter 56, the name of Uupo was actually on the "Confucian List" for posthumous titles. So, my mentality started to become unstable again.
