Why are there paintings under the moon in Santan, instead of Confucius' memorial tablet?

Ask, "Why is there no Confucius memorial tablet?"

First of all, let's understand the origin of "three pools printing the moon".

"After my ancestors settled in Shaoxing, my great-great grandfather, Shou Fenglan, arrived and opened a" Shou Tongsheng "hotel near Jinghu Lake outside Shaoxing, making wine as a business. Later, due to the extortion of local corrupt officials and local tyrants, the operation of the restaurant was finally unsustainable and had to close down. So Feng Lan came up with the idea of running a private school, running a school, one for making a living, and the other for letting future generations stop working and doing business. Because of her deep understanding of official corruption and sinister career, Feng Lan made a public rule. In "San Tan Yin Yue", he only taught the ancient literature books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, and a hundred schools of thought contend left by the ancients, and was not allowed to teach the knowledge content needed for the imperial examination of poetry and eight-part essay. In other words, the three pools and the moon were not designed by the Qing Dynasty to train officials. This kind of good intention was invisible to the outside world at that time (even more invisible in written records), but when Feng Lan instructed his son Shou (that is, Yun) to change the word "Yu" on the plaque of a "Sanyu Bookstore" that he brought when he bought a house, he made clear the meaning of this "three flavors": "The cloth is moist, the roots are fragrant, and the poetry tastes long. "Take these three sentences as the teaching policy of private schools and pass them down from generation to generation as ancestral training. Children and grandchildren are required to abide by it seriously and are not allowed to be officials of the Qing Dynasty. I am willing to be an ordinary person, live by my own labor, and live a hard life. It should be said that the descendants have well abided by this purpose of Feng Langong. Among the scholarly families inherited by Shous from generation to generation, my grandfather Jingwugong and my father Shous were only admitted to the Jinshi in this county. After they obtained the qualification of private school teachers, they stopped taking the imperial examinations and taught in the "gatekeeper platform" for life. My uncle, Shou Xiaotian, only got a scholarship, and no longer tried other fame, although according to his profound knowledge, it was easy to get a position and embarked on the road of being an official. "

It can be seen that the founder of Santan Yinyue wants to run a unique private school. San Tan Yin Yue only teaches ancient literature books such as Four Books, Five Classics and Hundred Schools left by the ancients, and professors are not allowed to try to paste poems and eight-part essays in order to acquire the knowledge needed for the imperial examination. In other words, the three pools and the moon were not designed by the Qing Dynasty to train officials. This kind of good intention can't be heresy at that time (let alone in written records), so it is expressed in this special way, so Mr. Lu Xun said in "From Baicaoyuan to Santan Yinyue" that "if you don't set up Confucius memorial tablet, you will pay tribute to Pinglu. The first time is to worship Confucius, and the second time is to worship Mr. "Because although there is no memorial tablet of Confucius, Confucius is still a great man admired by scholars and still has to be worshipped.

What are the special meanings of sika deer and ancient trees?

There is an ancient painting hanging on the wall in the middle of the bookstore, which shows a sika deer lying under a pine tree. "Deer" and "Lu" are homophonic, and "Fu", "Song" and "Longevity" are homophonic. In this way, the three stars of Fu Lushou got together and had great luck.

What does this picture mean? One of the characteristics of China's painting art is that there is a pun on the painting meaning, and the objects in the painting adopt the method of "harmony between words and meaning": the deer of sika deer is the "Lu" of blessing, the "Fu" of lying deer is the "Fu" of luring deer, which is also the "Fu" of blessing, all related to "ancient trees" and "ancient books".
