บท 318: The Top 8 Draw Lots

"The Six Arts?" Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Tun Tun, and even Zhuge Fengling were slightly stunned.

Lin Feng smiled and did not say anything. Zhu Yi then came back to his senses and answered on Lin Feng's behalf. "It's just as Master said. Jiao Junchen's spell originated from the Six Arts of Confucianism, which are also called the Six Arts of a Gentleman, being rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics respectively."

"Rites refer to etiquette and propriety; music is as it is; archery is the art of shooting with a bow and arrow; charioteering refers to riding a horse carriage, as scholars in ancient times did not sit in sedans or ride horses when travelling, and instead commanded horse carriages." Zhu Yi then continued explaining, "Calligraphy can refer to literature, or just the art itself; mathematics refers to arithmetic and knowledge of number theories."
