卷首
Prologue
暮春既望,残阳浸染简册。余执《奥数精编》漫步杏坛,忽闻幽琴沉郁,见一老者着缁衣,危坐于前,眉宇似有圣光。趋拜问曰:“先生得非仲尼乎?”老者莞尔,指间宫商暂歇:“吾尝终日不食,终夜不寝,以思,无益,不如学也——小子来何迟?”言毕,数片杏叶飘落,恰覆书中奥数题上,斑驳若象形文字。
On a late spring evening, the setting sun cast its glow over ancient scrolls. Holding Essentials of Olympiad Mathematics, I was wandering alone near the Apricot Platform, when suddenly the melancholic strains of a zither reached my ears. An elderly man in black robes sat solemnly, his brow radiating a sage-like aura. Approaching reverently, I asked, “Might you be Confucius?” The old man smiled faintly, and paused the melody at his fingertips. “I once pondered day and night without eating or sleeping, yet gained nothing—until I turned to learning. Why have you come so late, young one?” As he spoke, apricot leaves fluttered down, settling like cryptic symbols over the math problems in my book.
卷一·惑于题海
Volume I: Lost in the Sea of Problems
子曰:“小子眉蹙若川,所忧者何?”
余对:“今之考场,若临战阵,师者日掷百题,奥数充牣。邻童皆以刷题为甲胄,纵斩百分,果能安身立命乎?譬若庖丁解牛十九年,刀虽新发硎,其道已亡!”
夫子喟然:“昔者吾语樊迟:‘上好礼,则民莫敢不敬。’今汝等竞逐分数,犹舍本逐末——人而不仁,题海何益?”
The Master inquired, “Why does your brow furrow like a river? What troubles you?”
I replied, “Today’s exams are battlefields. Teachers bombard us with endless problems, and Olympiad math fills our days. Peers armor themselves with drills, chasing perfect scores—but can such accolades truly secure our futures? Take Butcher Ding, who carved oxen for nineteen years: his blade remained sharp, yet his purpose withered—just as endless drills may hone skills but wither the soul!”
The Master sighed. “Long ago, I told Fan Chi: ‘If rulers value propriety, the people will respect them.’ Today, you chase scores but neglect the root. Without benevolence, what good are these problems?”
卷二·叩教之本
Volume II: The Foundation of Education
余诘:“若废题海,何以立身?”
夫子振衣:“吾十有五志于学,三十而立。立者,非立廪饩也,立于礼,成于乐!昔颜渊居陋巷,人不堪其忧,回也不改其乐。今之童子,可有一箪食一瓢饮之志乎?”
余赧然:“然世人皆曰:‘题不刷,则庠序不登;庠序不登,则青云路绝。’信乎?”
夫子蹙眉:“野哉!君子谋道不谋食。昔子路衣敝缊袍,与狐貉者立而不耻,今汝辈锦衣玉食,反为分数所囚——君子不器,岂效斗筲之器用乎?”
I pressed, “If we abandon drills, how shall we establish ourselves?”
The Master straightened his robes. “At fifteen, I devoted myself to learning; at thirty, I stood firm. To ‘stand’ is not to chase wealth, but to root oneself in rites and refine through music. Once, Yan Hui lived in a humble alley—others pitied his hardship, yet he remained joyful. Do today’s youths share such resolve, content with a single bowl of rice and a gourd of water?”
Blushing, I asked, “But society claims: ‘No drills, no school; no school, no future.’ Is this true?”
The Master frowned. “How narrow! A noble person seeks the Way, not mere sustenance. Zilu wore ragged robes among the wealthy yet felt no shame. You, clad in finery, are shackled by scores—does a gentleman become a vessel for petty measures?”
卷三·溯伦之殇
Volume III: The Dilemma of Filial Piety
余再问:“家母日督补习,父执夜检课业,此非孝乎?”
夫子击案:“今之孝者,是谓能养。至于犬马,皆能有养;不敬,何以别乎?昔孟武伯问孝,吾曰‘父母唯其疾之忧’。今汝双亲忧汝分数若疾首,非忧汝之学,实忧汝之身心;汝若以刷题伤志,乃违亲之爱,是汝陷亲于不义也!”
余悚然:“敢问解缚之道?”
夫子色稍霁:“父母在,刷题需有度。事父母几谏,见志不从,又敬不违——譬如携母观星汉之浩渺,其乐必逾满分之虚名。”
I ventured, “My mother urges me to study day and night; my father checks my homework. Is this not filial?”
The Master struck the table. “Filial piety today is reduced to mere provision. Even dogs and horses are ‘provided for’—without reverence, what distinguishes humans? When Meng Wubo asked about filial duty, I said: ‘Parents worry only for their children’s well-being.’ Yet your parents fret over scores as if curing an ailment—you’ve trapped them in dishonor, for they worry not about your study, but your very self!”
Trembling, I asked, “How may we break these chains?”
The Master’s expression softened. “While parents live, balance study with wisdom. Counsel them gently; if they resist, remain respectful. Take your mother to gaze at the Milky Way—its joy surpasses the hollow glory of perfect scores.”
卷四·辩古问今
Volume IV: Ancient Wisdom in a Modern Age
余昂首:“今世非夫子之时也!硅尘飞扬,星槎穷于霄汉,君言二千五百岁旧论,犹可用于二进制之世乎?”
夫子拊掌:“吾尝言:殷因于夏礼,所损益可知也;周因于殷礼,所损益可知也。其或继周者,虽百世可知也。汝观光纤传讯、核电驱舟,其速虽异,载道之心古今一贯。”
I challenged, “Your era is long past! Silicon dust clouds the sky as starships pierce the heavens. Can your 2,500-year-old teachings thrive in this binary world?”
The Master clapped. “I once said: ‘The Yin followed Xia rituals, adapting as needed; the Zhou followed Yin, adapting again. Thus, even a hundred ages after Zhou may be foretold.’ Fiber optics and nuclear ships speed messages and vessels, yet their purpose—to carry truth—remains unchanged across time.”
卷五·大道之行
Volume V: The Path to Revival
余追问:“华夏复兴之路,当持量子之刃,抑秉仁德之圭?”
夫子推琴:“昔管仲九合诸侯,不以兵车,仁之力也!今听余言:足食足兵,民信之矣。然迫不得已,宁舍兵食而不失信——何也?无信不立!今有少年日刷千题而无信仰,譬如筑千仞楼而无础石。”
忽狂风穿牖,杏叶如雪覆卷。
夫子执叶示道:“昔吾删述六经,今汝等研习数理,皆叶也。若失仁之本干,纵有万千金叶,不过一秋枯荣尔!”
I pressed further, “On the path to national revival, should we wield quantum blades or uphold the scepter of benevolence?”
The Master pushed aside his zither. “Long ago, Guan Zhong united lords not by force, but through virtue[^footnote7]. Hear me now: Armies and granaries matter, but if forced to choose, abandon them before losing trust—for without trust, nothing stands! Today’s youth plod through endless problems yet lack faith, like towers built without foundations.”
A sudden gust blew through the window, apricot leaves burying the scrolls like snow.
Holding a leaf, the Master concluded, “I once edited the Six Classics; you now study math and science. These are but leaves. Without the trunk of benevolence, even golden leaves will wither in a single autumn—the revival of a nation lies not in tools but in the root of virtue.”
卷尾
Epilogue
月出东山,夫子身影渐隐于竹柏。余稽首间,《奥数精编》坠地裂帛,页间忽腾青鸾,衔“仁”“信”二字直冲北斗。遥闻霄汉传来:“民无信不立,立则邦固,邦固则族昌——”余音激荡……
As the moon rose over eastern hills, the Master’s figure faded into bamboo shadows. Bowing deeply, I dropped Essentials of Olympiad Mathematics. Its pages split open, releasing a qingluan (azure phoenix) that soared to the Big Dipper, clutching the characters for “Benevolence” and “Trust.” Distant echoes lingered in the night: “Without trust, a people falter; with trust, a nation thrives—”and divine messages, symbolizing the renewal of ancient wisdom in modern times
