I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 62 Confucius said: I want to be an official!

Zhiyao didn't know that Fan Li was not from Yue, but actually Fan Li was from Chu, so it was a joke to send people to Yue to find Fan Li.

However, isn't this the basic operation of modern ordinary people?I have a little impression of everything, I know so and so, as for so and so's origin, I just have a half-knowledge.

Zhi Yaoguang knew that Gou Jian had taken Fan Li into his counselor, simply because he knew the answer to a question, and how to "solve" the question was a wild guess.

In fact, the records in the history books are not necessarily reliable. It is very likely that they have been "modified" by more than one person, and it will be a story when it is passed down to future generations.

Take Confucius as an example. He was in a miserable state in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Too many disciples and grandchildren repeatedly beautified and embellished him, and he participated in many important political occasions, and he was still able to express his opinions on those occasions.

You only need to know that in the late Spring and Autumn period, as in the early Warring States period, family backgrounds were mentioned. The princes of various countries only talked with people of equal status in person. The princes are the kind of nobles who can understand what the other party is saying to the nobles of the "official" level. The scene where the "megaphone" character speaks for him.

In the same way, Dr. Qing would not communicate with people below his level, and he would be laughed at if he did so.

Well, Confucius was expelled from the state of Lu. In fact, he was a "vagrant aristocrat" with a poor reputation. How could he have the qualifications to participate in important political occasions?Don't talk about giving opinions.

"By the way, is there someone around Kong Qiu who has been recording every word and deed?" Zhiyao was a little confused.

The most important point, did Confucius write any great works?Anyway, Zhiyao had never heard of any works written by Confucius.

What are the facts?Confucius really did not have his own works. When he was a "librarian" in his later years, he edited "Poems", "Books", "Rituals" and "Music", prefaced "Zhouyi (Book of Changes)", and compiled "Spring and Autumn" such a book.

It needs to be made clear that Confucius revised the works of his predecessors, integrated the articles in them, wrote some "prefaces", and then became a "Spring and Autumn Annals".To put it bluntly, it is a cultural porter, not his own work.

Therefore, Confucius did not have any classics written by himself, but it is said that he wrote some poems. The worst thing is that they were found to be fake, and were "golden" by later generations.

Zhiyao wondered if anyone was recording Confucius’ words and deeds, mainly because later generations had a copy of “The Analects of Confucius”, which contained some words about Confucius and some short stories.

Zhiyao thought, she should also find someone to record her every word and deed, and one day when the time is right, she will start her own "fan circle" system.

write a book?So far, Zhiyao dare not say that he understands the Spring and Autumn Period. The things he writes may be very high-end, but it is a blemish for his age. Who will believe that he wrote it?
Even if some people believe that Zhiyao really does not have a thorough understanding of society, it is still unknown whether the works he writes are in line with the contemporary era.The works are not suitable for contemporary times, and Zhi's descendants will be desperately publicized.

He thought that he could sort out a framework first, what books Zhishi needed, and first expand Zhishi, and then consider a wider level.

If you write with the idea of ​​finishing a world famous book, you don’t have to do other things, and you can’t extricate yourself from the sea of ​​books for the rest of your life.

Later, Zhiyao visited the manor where Confucius lived from time to time, and spent more time studying with her schoolmates.

Zhiyao observed many times, and it was clear that no one was recording Confucius' every word and deed.

This incident has not happened until now. It is necessary to wait for Confucius to become an official. Some of his disciples have come up with such a method. They can’t survive alive, and they simply hope that some deeds will leave traces.

Moreover, the books written by Confucius' disciples and re-disciples recording Confucius' words and deeds were actually written by many people together, not the work of a single person, especially the one that was "compiled" from generation to generation.

It is said to be "edited", mainly because the disciples and grandchildren of Confucianism are not of the same era as Confucius, and have not heard Confucius speak and do things with their own eyes and ears.

"Gongsun." Zai Yu came again.

Zhiyao really wanted to run away as if she didn't hear.

Jae Yu is really good at talking, usually one topic after another, it takes too long to talk, so that people who are not easy to say goodbye can listen to the talk all day.

Furthermore, Zhiyao never sent a letter to ask Zhibi about Confucius' travels in various parts of Jin, so that Zaiyu asked him, and he couldn't give the exact time to tell lies, and his words and deeds were different when he told the truth.

"Can the places for educating people be increased?" Zaiyu asked.

what?
Zhiyao thought that Zaiyu was here to talk about Dashan again, and said that she was very busy and didn't have time. She was thinking of a way to slip away, but she didn't expect to say this, so she would be free.

The old Zhi family is now running a large number of private schools, and about [-]% of the teachers are tribesmen and retainers whom Zhiyao has finally invited or hired, and the rest are all disciples of Confucius.

Confucius would occasionally give lectures in person, and he liked to sit in a high place, with a crowd of people listening to him.

He himself generally talks about "rituals", and to be honest, he is not welcomed by Zhishi and others.

Zhishi's students, what they want to learn is knowledge that can be used for improvement, not to learn to follow the rules, and it is a certain thing that they don't like to listen to "rituals".

In this way, Confucius’ lectures were not popular with some disciples such as Zilu, Zigong, Zaiyu, Ran You, etc., and Confucius was very embarrassed several times. When Zaiyu was caught, he was reprimanded for "the ritual collapsed and the music was destroyed". .

Why was Zaiyu always reprimanded by Confucius?It has something to do with Jaeyu's own personality, he is a bit out of touch, and besides, he talks too much sincerity!
That is to say, Zhiyao hasn't figured out one thing yet. For example, Zaiyu's role in Confucianism is "shou", which is used to set off the other disciples' awesome "tool man". .

Otherwise?Why does Confucius reprimand Zaiyu in public every time, scolding and scolding can involve many things.

Zhiyao was talking with Zaiyu about increasing the number of schools, and Zaiyu was summoned by Confucius.

In the middle of the discussion, Zhiyao had to wait outside the courtyard, and then heard Confucius reprimanding Zaiyu, saying something about Jin people really don’t know the importance of "rituals", which led to civil strife..., blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. talk.

What about trouble?

This is because Confucius knew that Zhiyao was outside, and he used Zaiyu as a "tool man" to express his opinions. He hoped that Zhiyao could see the awesomeness, and it was best to quickly throw a big official hat over.

"Did I think of Confucius too realistically?" Zhiyao reflected.

However, Confucius really wanted to be an official, not mainly for the prestige of being an official, but to enrich his knowledge through "social practice" through official status.

Listen to chant!
Confucius has already begun to talk about his own views on governing the state of Jin. If everyone knows the etiquette, there will be peace, and to eliminate civil strife and seek unity will surely make the Jin state last for a long time.

Zhiyao thinks she is still slipping, right?

Not to mention the state of Jin, with the current time point, let’s solve the belly problem first, without worrying about starving to death, let’s talk about whether people should be more noble, okay?

what!
Someone has already said this answer! ! !
Guan Yiwu..., that is, Guan Zhong, he made it clear: the warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace.

Zhiyao considered whether to reiterate this "answer" to Confucius.
