The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 43 Confucianism and Taoism
It is not easy to pretend to be deaf and dumb on historical topics, especially when it comes to the issue of reform and unchanged law.

But for this question, the ancient county magistrate also gave candidates a way to survive.

Use Zhuge Wuhou and Wang Jinggong as a comparison!

I do not know how many people have reformed and tried to be strong. During the Warring States period, Li Kui's reform in Wei State, Wu Qi's reform in Chu State, both Wu Qi and Li Kui came from the Xihe School. If Zhang Taiyue's reform hadn't met Emperor Wanli, it might have been successful, but even if it failed, it would have continued the life of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 100 years, and the whip method he created is still in use today...

Compared with Zhang Juzheng, Wang Anshi's reform was undoubtedly a complete failure. The new law was abolished by the conservatives before his death, and he was later demoted as a traitor!

But who is Zhuge Liang?

Those who do not shed tears after reading "Chen Qing Biao" must be disloyal; those who do not shed tears after reading "Chen Qing Biao" must not be filial;

With the comparison with Prime Minister Cao, Zhuge Wuhou was elevated to the point where he was compared with Duke Zhou.

One loyal and one traitorous.

This historical topic should not be too simple.

Bai Gui had already prepared for this county test. Whether it was the Four Books questions or the Five Classics questions, he had corrected them when he consulted many senior brothers. Like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

He continued to write: "Why? Marquis Wu used his skills without the intention of applying for business, and Jinggong used his facts to apply for business but kept his name. How do you know it? History has said that Marquis Wu is sincere, impartial, and loyal. , Those who are in time will be rewarded even if they have hatred, and those who break the law and neglect will be punished even if they are relatives."

What Confucianism advocates, benevolence and propriety!
"Book of Rites: Li Yun Chapter" said that what is needed to achieve a Datong society?What is needed is "the world is for the public, the talents are selected and the talents are promoted, and the faith is cultivated."

So what this sentence says is that Zhuge Liang has no heart to apply for business, but what kind of "heart" he uses in the technique of applying for business is the Confucian way of benevolence and courtesy, which is also explained in the Book of Rites...

Who is important, Taoism or art?

It goes without saying!

Zhuge Liang used the Tao of Confucianism and practiced the techniques of Shenshang, which led to Zhuge Liang's success in reform.

Once this reform is involved to the point of rectifying people's hearts, it can be said that most of the success has been achieved.

"Wang Jinggong has the ambition to correct the world and change the customs. He deeply sees that the world is bad because of long-standing habits. If the law is not firm, it will be hindered by public opinion. He also worries that the study of applying business is not enough to satisfy the hearts of the government and the public, so he hides his name. Zhou Li thought that."

He wrote this sentence up, smiling all over his face.

Yin, has many meanings, and here Yin is a pretense, which just corresponds to the majestic avenue.

Echoing the previous text.

The reason why Wang Anshi did not succeed in the reform is because Wang Anshi did not use the Confucian way like Zhuge Liang, but was not sincere.

One uses Dao, the other uses technique!
Soon, an article is about to appear on the paper.

Bai Gui turned his pen and continued to write a summary, "Wow! Administration is not human. Although it has good laws and good intentions, it is enough to cause harm. Therefore, Cheng Zi said: Regarding the meaning of Julin's toe, then you can follow the laws of Zhou officials....Wuhou then assisted him There are many people who are talented, and Jinggong repels many gentlemen, but this is not only the misfortune of Jinggong, but also the misfortune of Song Shizi."

This sentence seems to mean that I am in favor of the reform, but the reform is to be carried out by people like Zhuge Liang, not by people like Wang Anshi, but who knows whether it is a sage like Zhuge Liang who is implementing the reform now? ?

Proper conservative speech!
The "Guanjulintoe" mentioned by Cheng Zi comes from "The Book of Songs·Zhounan·Guanju Preface": "However, the transformation of Guanjulintoe, the style of the king, is the Duke of Zhou."

This sentence is also an idiom to congratulate the birth of a child, "Linzhi is auspicious."

In other words, who can preside over the reform, only those outstanding figures can preside...

……

The three questions were all written on plain paper. Bai Guizai checked it carefully over and over again, and recalled the methods of avoiding taboos used by the professors of Bailu Academy to see if there were any taboo points in these articles. As a synonym, or remove the strokes, to show respect for the emperor.

For example, Qian Xuantong, a master of the Republic of China, collided with Xuan Ye, Emperor Kangxi, so in order to avoid taboos, he had to remove a little bit of Xuan characters.

After reading them one by one, I was relieved to find that there were no mistakes or omissions in the text.

He rested his mind and worshiped God for a while.

At this time, candidates who had answered well had already gone to the court to hand in the papers, and asked the county magistrate to mark the papers. The time was much earlier than the end of the exam.

Bai Gui was not flustered.

Xiaoshengchu, junior high school, college entrance examination, after imitating the exams again and again, he dared to say that in terms of the mentality of the exams, the candidates in the world are not as good as him, and the future generations will be the real power of introversion.

Although the Confucian scholars of this age study hard in the cold window, with their heads hanging from the beams and awls piercing their buttocks, compared with the later generations, they are not as good.

Later generations have desk lamps, reading at night by candlelight is a common thing, eating meat, a nutritious meal, no need to rush around for three meals, the time for later generations to read is better than now.

No matter which teacher, they warn the students before the exam, never to hand in the papers in advance.

Hand in papers early?

That's the treatment of the god of learning, and the master of learning will not waste this short-term opportunity.

Of course, handing in the papers in advance also has the advantage of handing in the papers in advance. The magistrate Gu, the examiner, might notice early on that he might be happy and admit him directly for the next exam.

The county examination is the end of the drumming.

There are still about two hours from now.

It can be said that the gap between humans and humans is greater than the gap between humans and dogs.Xueshen finished writing early, and Xueshen still had to think hard until Bingzhu withdrew the paper.

A moment later, after resting, Bai Gui picked up his pen again, and he took a deep breath.

When writing, pay attention to spirit.

The facial features he is imitating now only have their shape, but not their spirit, if they are written in a hurry, the shape will be scattered.

pen down.

Write down everything on plain paper.

Some Confucian scholars often don't pay attention to copying and answer directly with test papers. Although this can save time, it is simply a disaster scene for those who are not good at calligraphy and writing.

There are plenty of test papers, so no more will be given.

The sky gradually darkened, and candles were lit in some examination rooms.

"call!"

Bai Gui carefully dried the handwriting on each test paper to prevent the ink from staining the test paper. When he estimated that there was still some time left, he took the test paper to the court and handed it to the clerk who had been standing by.

It can be regarded as handing in the papers a few minutes earlier. There is an advantage in handing in the papers at this time. Those who should go have already left, and the scholars who are still staying with their pens are waiting for the scribes to collect the papers.

The ancient county magistrate yawned, ignored it, waved his hand, and asked the clerk to put the test paper aside.

Bai Gui saw the appearance of the Gu county magistrate, and knew that he was also tired from reviewing papers. After giving a salute, he followed the tolerance back to the examination room, took the examination basket, and walked out of the examination room unhurriedly.

　There are only two updates today, and three more updates tomorrow. I am tired of checking the information, sorry!
