Chapter 661 Everyone has more than enough, but I am alone ([-]-character compensation chapter)

Zhao Rong glanced at this line of words, and then looked at other places on the scroll.

Blank.

The next few papers are also empty.

This should be the only finale question, accounting for more than half of the paper score, and it is also the place that widens the gap with other students.

Zhao Rong nodded, took a sip of the water in the bamboo tube to moisten his throat, and began to solve the problem.

This question is very interesting, whether it is the question or the questioner.

It stands to reason that the exam papers of the academy are usually printed with templates, and the previous test questions are all in a unified public font, but this test question retains the random handwriting of the original question maker.

Zhao Rong reckoned that the Mochi Academy had invited a respectable old man from the academy to write the question.

However, Zhao Rong once heard Mr. Yan say that in the Confucian Academy, above all the "Misters" and under Shan Chang, there is a special level called "Six Gentlemen", which are six special gentlemen. .

The only thing he knows is that the current Deputy Head Yuan, who is in charge of internal and external affairs, and the old Jijiu of the Mochi Academy are two of them.

This question may not be the word asked by a certain "Six Gentlemen".

The academy printed it out intact.

However, the old gentleman can ask questions casually, but the students cannot answer them casually.

Within a few breaths, Zhao Rong's mind was spinning extremely fast, his hands were not idle, and he was spinning pens between his fingers. This is the habit of the previous student days. The few candidates who occasionally looked up and glanced around were stunned. , Dazzled, always worried that the pen in Zhao Rong's hand would fly out and hit someone.

They also looked expectantly at the fat gentleman who was proctoring the exam ahead, hoping that he would take care of it. Unfortunately, the slightly fat old gentleman looked less reliable than a certain candidate named Zhao, sitting there with his head on the back of his hand, The white eyebrows drooped, drowsy.

Zhao Rong didn't realize that his random pen rotation had affected several candidates with some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Right now, this question makes him find it interesting.

There are generally two types of test questions in Jingyi. This question is obviously a 'self-cultivation question', but it is no better than the more professional governance question.

Because the phrase 'everyone has more than me alone', if Zhao Rong remembers correctly, there is no such thing in the Thirteen Confucian Classics.

It comes from the Taoism!
If Zhao Rong remembers correctly, the original text of this sentence in "Tao Jing" should be:

... Everyone has more than enough, but I am alone.I am a fool!Chaos...

Zhao Rong nodded and said softly: "Interesting."

The Confucian academy's test strategy and self-cultivation question turned out to be the sage's words of Taoism.

Fortunately, Zhao Rong is different from most students. He dare not say that he has read all schools of thought, but he has always been very interested in the two schools of Taoism and Mohism that are faintly side by side with Confucianism. He has spent a lot of time studying in private, even at the beginning In Zhongnanshan, he can still win a Taoist gentleman in a debate in front of tens of thousands of people.

Of course, this does not mean that he is more professional than a Taoist gentleman, but that with the advantage of past life memory, his understanding of certain Taoist thoughts is very unique and advanced.

In addition, he is also very familiar with the Taoist scriptures. The two purple spirits of "Quietness" and "Wuwei" come from the first "Taoist scriptures" in the Xuanhuang Realm.After Zhao Rong got it, he naturally read the [-]-character "Tao Jing" several times with great interest, guessing what interesting words and sentences would turn into purple air from the east.

So the current question is really in line with Zhao Rong's appetite.

"I don't know which gentleman it is, it suits my taste..." His eyes brightened, a little curious.

However, although this unique way of setting the question reflects the courage of the unknown old gentleman who set the question, it also has very high requirements on the vision and knowledge of the examinee who answered the question.

Zhao Rong reckoned that most of the students who saw this question like him in the examination room at this moment should be confused, maybe still muttering... Is there such a sentence in our Thirteenth Confucian Classics?Where did this come from?Are all the saints good at talking, so much nonsense coming out of "day, day, day" all the time?
It is estimated that only a small number of students like Yu Huaijin who have read the Confucian classics thoroughly, or who have dabbled in Taoist classics, can notice something is wrong.

But it's also possible... many candidates are not disturbed by the doubts that Zhao Rong thought about at all, and directly regard it as the sage's words in the Confucian classics that they have not read. There are also mother-swearing, so it is not surprising that anything can be said, and then everyone directly 'answers' on the spot.

However, in the trial strategy, if you understand the source of the wrong question, you will inevitably ignore the research intention of the questioner and deviate from the correct direction of answering the question.

In just ten breaths, the test was over.

Zhao Rong, who was at the desk, leaned back tactically, exercising his muscles and bones.

What does it mean to be a master of learning.

The corner of Zhao Rong's mouth raised a confident arc, and at the same time he looked up and looked around, wanting to see other people's reactions to this question, but found...he seemed to write too fast, and most of the students seemed to be still writing. Write the first side of the post by carefully choosing the words and sentences.

This... I am a little lonely.

However, Zhao Rong soon discovered that his pen turning seemed to have accidentally affected the students next to him.

The latter cast a look of resentment or dissatisfaction.

Zhao Rong silently stopped the pen spinning between his fingers, smiled slightly apologetically, continued to bow his head, and quietly answered the question.

After understanding the source and meaning of the question, the first step to do now is to break the question.

It doesn't mean that the title is "Everyone is more than me, I am the only one", you just use it as the title and "reread" its meaning throughout the article.

This kind of behavior of direct and mindless use is a low-level move, and the gentlemen who corrected the test will give points based on their mood.

So what Zhao Rong has to do now is to think about the proposition of the writer, combine his own thinking, and write two or three short sentences that are refined and condensed, as the first two sentences of the article, and also as the central outline of the full text that follows.

This point is also known as the breaking point in the classics and righteousness trial strategy.

Confucian scholars of different levels have different depths and angles in solving problems.

According to Zhao Rong's previous observation experience, the most important thing is to hit the preferences and tendencies of the person behind the question.

Therefore, Jingyi's test questions are the same as some propositional compositions in Zhao Rong's previous life. To a certain extent, it is to 'pat' Mr. Juan's flattery.

But just shooting right horses is at best a middle-of-the-road strategy.

The real best strategy is to not only have the right direction, but also add some novel ideas that will make the questioner's eyes shine, and then assist with wonderful writing, and finally come with neat and beautiful handwriting, then you can make a good essay. This is a well-deserved essay with full marks that will be circulated by the whole school according to the habit.

After clarifying these, Zhao Rong began to solve the problem.

Everyone has more than enough, I am alone.

On the surface, it seems to say that "I" is not as good as everyone, and "I" is like a fool, which is a self-sigh.

But don't be foolish enough to believe it.

I don't even know if I was scolded.

If you think about it with your toes, you will know that the Taoist sages are being humble.

To put it simply, you just need to listen to him in reverse.

In fact, what he wants to say is that you are the real fools, and you are not as good as him.

It's like 'everyone is drunk and he is sober'.

You think, if a saint is compared with a group of people in the world, of course he will appear out of place and look like a fool.

Don't believe what he said later, "I have a fool's heart", and pay attention, what he said is "a fool's heart", not "a fool's deed". A heart that looks stupid in comparison.

Duo Tuo secretly boasted about himself, he was arrogant, he looked stupid in the muddy world.

If you understand this point, it is half understood.

The key that remains to be studied in detail is what is meant by 'more than' and what is meant by 'ruoyi'.

The saint's "ruoyi" must be good, and everyone's "surplus" must be denied by his old man.

What is the difference between the people and the saints, so that the former appears to be "surplus", while the latter appears to be "excessive".

What do these two refer to, it is not clearly stated in these short nine words.

But Zhao Rong easily thought of the answer.

In Taoism and Taoism, what the sage possesses is of course the 'Tao', but everyone lacks the 'Tao'.

Zhao Rong thought of the Taoist gentleman Tao Yuanran he knew. He had a high status, but he lived in plain clothes and straw sandals all day long, and lived a meager life with only some basic necessities.

So this "Tao" also caused a superficial phenomenon, that is, the sages who have the Tao are poor alone, while the people without the "Tao" are more than rich.

Therefore, the meaning of the words of the sage in the "Tao Jing" is roughly: Everyone is rich and more than enough, but I am alone and poor. My heart is really ignorant and poor. Compared with everyone, it seems chaotic.

After thinking about this, and looking back at this proposition, Zhao Rong suddenly became enlightened and cheerful, full of thoughts.

It's not that he agrees that one must live a simple life without desires and desires in order to achieve Taoism and sanctification, but that he sees the real "Tao" contained in these appearances.

Why do people have more, because they have more desires, so they pursue more and get more.

However, these are superfluous things!
But the sage looks directly at his heart, does not pursue much, and only takes what he needs, which is enough.

Therefore, he seems to have nothing. In the eyes of everyone who 'has everything', if a saint does not 'get' these things, it is equivalent to 'losing' them, and he is a fool.

but……

"How stupid everyone is..."

Zhao Rong sighed.

He thought of the world in his previous life again.

Some people have a thousand expensive and beautiful clothes in their closet, all of which she likes, but she can only choose one of them every time she goes out, picking and choosing, and it takes half an hour to go out, and it doesn't matter which one she chooses at the end. Which one, I will always regret the other clothes I didn’t choose in the closet when I go out;

Some people keep pace with the times and buy a lot of electronic equipment, all of which are powerful and good things. However, they can only play one game each time. Among the devices, choose the most interesting one. Over time, the table is filled with updated new products, and many brand new devices that have not had time to play are thrown away to eat ashes;
I want this and that, only to find out in the end that it is very bad, and I need extra things.

And no matter how hard it is, there is only one set of clothes to wear, and it is casual and worry-free when you only wear it every day when you go out to play; no matter how difficult it is, you hide under the quilt when you are reading, and you only have an electronic device with a certain button that fails and is easy to freeze. The joy and tirelessness of equipment surfing.

So, when they grow up, they get a lot of things that they have been thinking about for a long time. Are they happy or painful?

Zhao Rong thought softly in his heart:

"So, 'I Ruo Yi' is the Taoist sage's way. Everyone wants to 'increase day by day', but the sage wants to 'decrease day by day', loss after loss, until nothing is lost. In the eyes of everyone, it seems to be lost. A lot of things are the same, but he can still live a normal life with peace of mind, which just means that he already has everything and everything is enough... It turns out that what was lost before is superfluous."

He shook his head slightly, "So Taoist sages do nothing, do not seek or fight, and after losing all things, they get the true self... This is the complete meaning of this sentence. As long as the thoughts around it are solved, it seems that I can do it again." Answered with 'inaction'..."

Zhao Rong paused suddenly and fell silent.

Without blinking his eyes, he carefully stared at the eight spirited scrawled words "Everyone is more than me and I am the only one" on the scroll.

"The old gentleman who wrote the question wants to test... Is it really the true self and inaction of Taoism?"

The Confucian scholar talking to himself was quiet for a while.

In the examination room, the sounds of writing, ink grinding, and scrolling were broken and intertwined.

Zhao Rong sat in the back row by the pool, and slowly turned his head to look at the calm Bitan.

He shook his head slightly.

"This is another trap. It is a trap used by the author of the question to target students like me who are familiar with hundreds of classics and want to get high marks. But he is a Confucian gentleman, and I am also a student of Confucianism, so it is impossible for him to support Taoism, and I can’t use Taoism to answer the question, otherwise, I’ve got the Tao.”

Zhao Rong said silently in his heart, "So the original intention of the person who wrote the question is very simple. He may have read all kinds of schools, because he appreciates this sentence in "Tao Jing" and thinks it is very good, so he used it to write the question eclecticly. Yes, but the great good he appreciates and thinks must not be the Taoist thought contained in it, but... the understanding that has been integrated into our Confucian thought."

After solving the problem thoroughly, Zhao Rong suddenly realized, and he cursed secretly, "The old fox is really cunning".

"I almost fell into a trap, but I'm still sorry, my son also came to the atmosphere."

Zhao Rong chuckled, picked up the brush with a smile, supported his wrist sleeve with one hand, and started to write.

I saw that he wrote the inscription on the first line of the volume: A gentleman can do something and not do something.

Why write it?

How about the Taoist sage who lost so much that he lost almost nothing, what was he seeking?
What I want is 'one'!After removing all desires, there is only one 'one' left.

Therefore, the sage's "I am left behind" is actually "I am like one".

The questioner of this strange and tricky question appreciates the Taoist sage's self-cultivation method of seeking "one", not the "one" of Taoism.

What is this 'one' that Taoist sages seek?
It is loneliness and inaction.

What about the 'one' of the Confucian sage?

Naturally, the whole world knows that it is upright and promising!

If Zhao Rong didn't see through this point, but wrote "The boss is right, you are right", and then foolishly answered the question in the direction of fully agreeing with the Taoist sage and his "one", it would be lighting the lamp in the latrine.

So Zhao Rong is going to use "a gentleman can do something and not do something" to solve the problem, and agrees with the Taoist sage's "Ruo Yi" self-cultivation method, but he stands clearly for the "one" of Confucianism.

It roughly means:

It is true that I lose and lose in these aspects of personal life, doing nothing and fighting, like a fool, but when it comes to major events in the world such as "the world establishes the heart, the people and the life", you must do it and do your best!

Therefore, the gentleman does something and does not do something.

Zhao Rong suddenly took the correction tool and erased the sentence.

"Not good, too broad, not bright enough... Got it! Try this."

He changed a new answer sheet that was redundant, and wrote again: A gentleman has no food to eat, no house to ask for safety, sensitive to things but cautious in words, and righteous.

pause pen.

Zhao Rong looked at it carefully, thought for a while, and suddenly folded the answer sheet again, invalidating it.

"It's still not kind, it's too blunt and not brilliant enough."

He was muttering something, squinting his eyes slightly, thoughtful, and casually glanced at the dozing fat gentleman in front of him and the candidates around him who had just finished reading the test questions and looked worried.

In the end, Zhao Rong's eyes suddenly opened, he quickly leaned over his desk, and took the lead in writing on the brand new answer sheet.

This time, he also only wrote a broken inscription with only a few characters:
If you eat and drink, you will not worry but be happy.

The person who wrote the question used the words of the sages in the "Tao Jing", so he also used the words of the sages in the Confucian classics.

The broken inscription comes from the allusion of a certain sage: Xianzai!Back too!With a basket of food and a ladle of drink, in the alleys, everyone was overwhelmed with worries, and they would not change their joy when they returned.

You have horoscopes, and I have horoscopes too; you write about family sages and everyone, leaving nothing behind; this young master also writes about Confucian sages and everyone, one joy and one worry.

Whatever you leave behind, whatever is left over, I am happy and worried about it.

And the broken inscription is an exquisite allusion.

This wave, there are four second bands and a pair of kings, it's absolutely perfect!
Zhao Rong smiled knowingly, and the preparation of the most difficult inscription was completed, as if the eyes of the dragon painting had been finished, and the next "drawing the dragon's body", he was familiar with the road, and the pen walked around the dragon...

About half an hour later, Zhao Rong finished writing and called it a day.

After checking the paper from beginning to end, after making sure that there were no typos, Zhao Rong put it aside to dry the ink, while he immediately packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Until now, it was only half an hour before the exam started.

Less than half of the time has passed for the main course of the classics and righteousness assessment. There are ten examination rooms in the entire school from A to Gui, and no one has left the stool. Yu Huaijin was also engrossed, and was anxiously conceiving the last question. The promenade by the lake was empty, only the invigilator occasionally came by...

However, someone has already started to worry about how to leave.
