I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 303 There is a friend named "Zhuang Zhou"... (for subscription)
"Look, everyone is so interested in Mozi."

Seeing that everyone in the live broadcast room was boiling for a while, Chen Fan laughed.

"That's necessary."

Professor Zhou nodded: "The Mozi you mentioned is so interesting, everyone is naturally very interested."

"It is also because Mozi is not only a theory but also a practice, he has a strong specialization. Therefore, the Mohism created by Mozi was called the prominent school together with Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

"Teacher Chen Fan, what is Xianxue?"

At this time, someone in the live broadcast room asked.

"Xianxue is like the most popular academia now. At that time, Confucianism and Mohism were the most popular theories. Because these two schools are too popular, there is a saying that Confucianism is not Mohism."

It is not Confucianism or Mohism, from which we can see how much development Mohism had at that time.

of course.

He can have such a great development, in fact, it is also related to Mozi's wide acceptance of disciples.

This is similar to Confucius.

If a theory does not have a large number of disciples, it is difficult for such a theory to spread.

It is precisely because Mozi knows this.

At the same time, he also came out of Confucianism.

After he created Mohism, he recruited many disciples.

even.

In order to promote his technique of Mohism, he has a strict management of his disciples.

This management is somewhat militarized.

It is precisely because of this kind of management that the entire Mohism is full of strong vitality.

Among them, the highest commander in charge of Mohism is called Juzi.

……

"I didn't expect Mohism to have such a great development at that time, and it seemed to be on an equal footing with Confucianism."

Professor Zhou didn't expect it either.

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded: "Actually. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, although Confucianism was very prosperous, there were also many supporters for other theories. Especially when politicians looked at it, some other theories were sometimes obviously more important than others. Confucianism is more effective when used. Therefore, we know that when Confucius traveled around the world, he was not very much used by other vassal states, and his teachings were not adopted very much."

"Yes."

Professor Zhou nodded: "Only after the Han Dynasty did Confucianism become orthodox."

"This is also after the Great Unification."

While visiting, Chen Fan and Professor Zhou continued, "However, there is not only Mozi in the Song Dynasty, but also a sage named Huizi."

"Who is Keiko?"

As for Mozi, many people in the previous life still know about it.

But when it comes to Keiko, not to mention people in this world, even in the previous life, there are many people who don't know about it.

But actually.

Keiko was also a very well-known figure during the Warring States period.

even.

In terms of status, Huizi is better than Mozi.

"Huizi is a native of the Song Dynasty in the middle of the Warring States Period. Shi's name is Shi, also known as Hui Shi. He is a famous statesman, thinker, philosopher, and the founder of the famous school during the Warring States Period. supporter."

This series of introductions made even the knowledgeable and talented Professor Zhou feel a little confused.

"Mr. Chen Fan, you have introduced too much at once, politicians, thinkers, philosophers, it's easy to understand. What do famous scholars mean, and what does it mean to unite against the Qin Dynasty?"

"Professor Zhou, you have asked too many questions, so I have to introduce them one by one slowly. Nuo, there is an open space in front of you. If you are tired from walking, take a rest first."

Seeing an open space ahead, Chen Fan and Professor Zhou walked over.

The assistant handed Chen Fan and Professor Zhou two bottles of water.

Chen Fan drank a few sips, and then said: "Although Huizi is from Song State, he spends more time in Wei State. Because Huizi is very knowledgeable and capable, he has won the trust of King Wei. However, Huizi His appearance is not good, and not many people know who Huizi is. Once, the prime minister of Wei State died, and the king of Wei urgently summoned Huishi. Huizi got up immediately after receiving the order, and went straight to Liang, the capital of Wei State, to take over as the prime minister. Huizi did not bring any entourage with him. He walked one way after another. On the way, a big river blocked the way. Huizi was worried about the state affairs of Wei Wang and Wei Guo, and was anxious. As a result, when crossing the river, he stumbled and fell In the water. Because of Keiko's poor water skills, he kept flailing in the water, and he was about to sink to the bottom. The situation was very critical. At this moment, fortunately, a boatman came and rescued Keiko from the water, so he was saved. Keiko's life.

The boatman invited Huishi to board the boat and asked, "Since you can't swim, why didn't you wait for the boat to come?"

Keiko replied, "Time is running out, I can't wait!"

The boatman asked again: "Why is it so urgent that you don't even have time to think about safety?"

Huizi said, "I want to be the chancellor of Wei."

The boatman found it very funny when he heard it, and then looked at Keiko's distraught look, with a look of contempt on his face.He laughed at Huizi and said: "Looking at the way you fell into the water just now, you are so pitiful that you can only call for help. If I hadn't come here, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to save your life. Can a person like you who can't even wield water be a prime minister?" ? It's ridiculous!"

Huizi was very annoyed when he heard what the boatman said, and then he said, "Of course I can't compare with you when it comes to rowing boats and poaching water; but when it comes to governing the country and stabilizing the society, compared with me, you are probably only a junior." child."

What he said left the boatman dumbfounded.

This fable is called "The Beam of Huizi", which says that people have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we should treat others comprehensively and objectively.It's not necessary for the two to mock each other like this.

This is naturally Keiko's shortcoming.

but.

This is not Keiko's shortcoming.

Because of Keiko, he is a very good discerner.

When encountering something, he wants to distinguish it from others and compete for a superiority.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan said: "Huizi has a friend named Zhuang Zhou, who is also from the Song Dynasty. Once, Zhuang Zhou saw a group of fish swimming around calmly on the bridge, and he was very kind to him. Take a walk together Keiko said, look, how happy these fish are. After hearing this, Keiko said, you are not a fish, how do you know that fish are happy""

This story suddenly made the people in the live broadcast room more interested.

"Hahaha, this Keiko is very good at teasing people."

"Okay, I guess this friend named Zhuang Zhou must vomit blood."

"That's necessary. Zhuang Zhou is not a fish. He doesn't know the happiness of fish."

Looking at everyone's comments, Chen Fan was even happier: "Huizi is naturally knowledgeable and talented, but his friend Zhuang Zhou is not a person who waits for a virtuous person. Facing Huizi's attack on himself, Zhuangzi began to retaliate. , he said, you are not me, how do you know that I don't know the happiness of fish?"

This is a rhetorical question.

One is that you are not a fish, and you do not know the happiness of fish.

The other is that you are not Zhuang Zhou, so you naturally don't know whether Zhuang Zhou knows the happiness of fish.

If what Keiko said earlier makes sense.

Then.

Zhuang Zhou's retort came back, which was even more amazing: "I'm so stupid, this Zhuang Zhou is so fierce."

"Talent, you are not me, how do you know that I don't know the happiness of fish, this is absolutely amazing."

"Severe man, it's too good of a response, I didn't even know there would be such an answer."

"Hahaha, Keiko has met his opponent."

This kind of mutual hatred suddenly set off a climax in the entire live broadcast room.

It's just that the rivalry didn't end there.

Keiko, who is a master of stalking people, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He continued: "Of course I am not you, so of course I don't know if you know that fish are happy. Just like, you are not a fish, so you don't know that fish is happy." It's perfectly logical to be happy, too."

This answer also made everyone stunned.

"I'll go, is there any solution?"

"Keiko is a master."

"What about Zhuang Zhou?"

Everyone was stumped by Keiko's words.

According to Keiko's logic, it seems that Zhuang Zhou has no chance to answer.

Because Huizi said that he was not Zhuang Zhou, so he didn't know how Zhuang Zhou was.

Zhuang Zhou is not a fish, so Zhuang Zhou should also not know how fish are.

This is logical.

Because this is logical, Zhuang Zhou naturally does not know whether the fish is happy or unhappy.

Then.

Zhuang Zhou was wrong when he said that fish are happy.

He doesn't actually know if the fish is happy or not.

Facing Huizi's words, Zhuang Zhou replied unhurriedly: "Since you said that, let's get back to the topic itself. Didn't you say that I don't know that fish are happy? But when you ask When you say this, you actually already know that I know that fish are happy. As for you, you still have to ask how I know that fish are happy. Let me tell you clearly, I found out on Haoshui Bridge.”

Haoshui bridge is the bridge where two people stand.

When Zhuang Zhou gave such a humorous answer, the audience applauded thunderously.

"Top, this time I top Zhuang Zhou."

"Zhuang Zhou is awesome."

"I found out on the Haoshui Bridge...the answer is great."

of course.

In fact, Keiko's resentment is also very reasonable.

Zhuang Zhou's answer was also very philosophical.

As for who is right and who is wrong between the two, there is no need to delve into it.

But in the end.

Zhuang Zhou ended this debate with an extremely artistic discourse, which shows Zhuang Zhou's brilliance.

of course.

Don't talk about anything else.

Just talking about the wit and eloquence of these two people is enough to make countless people admire them.

"I take both."

"Yes. Both of them use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, which is very vivid."

"If it were me, I wouldn't know how to answer any of the sentences here."

People didn't expect it.

Originally an unremarkable Song Kingdom, it was actually described so wonderfully by Chen Fan.

"Everyone, Qi Shizizi doesn't really like to hate people so much. He and Zhuang Zhou are very good friends. The conversation between the two is like a joke, so this will not affect the two of them. However, in the Warring States Period at that time During the period, there were too many schools and theories. At the same time, the major vassal states fought with each other all year round, and there were many famous scholars during the battle. The main task of these famous scholars is to debate, and this Some people who are famous for their debates are called famous scholars."

After Chen Fan explained the famous master, everyone knew what the "famous master" was all about.

"During the Warring States period, it was really a contention of a hundred schools of thought."

"Well, Mohism, Confucianism, Sun Wu's military strategist, and now Huizi's famous school."

"However, Mr. Chen Fan, what are these famous scholars debating?"

Many people asked questions again.

"There are a lot of this. Sometimes it is debated because of a proposition, and sometimes it is debated because of one thing. More often, it is debated because of national events, political factors, etc. Especially, during the Warring States Period There are a lot of strategists. They travel around in various countries and use their three-inch tongue. Everywhere they go, they can set off incomparable wind and rain. Among them, if there is no good eloquence, no good way of thinking, no ability to The debate is successful. If it is light, one's own talents will not be reused, and if it is serious, a country may be wiped out."

"Teacher Chen Fan, isn't it so scary, is it just a matter of saying a few words?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded: "These strategists are also called unique diplomats. The reason for such a group of people is actually related to the situation in the Warring States period. We know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the various vassal states fought wars, they actually fought The scale is not large, they are just for hegemony, not for the destruction of the country. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the scale of the entire war was very large. They attacked a city and destroyed a country at every turn. However, in the middle of the Warring States Period. Everyone It was found that no country seemed to be able to compete for hegemony, nor could any country be able to deal with all the vassals. Therefore, the vassal states began to make themselves stronger through alliances."

"These political strategists are a group of lobbyists and alliances. Why are they called political strategists? This has something to do with the maps of the Warring States Period. Generally, countries that unite the north and south of the map of Qi are called Hezong. And generally unite Qin A country extending from west to east is called Lianheng."

Judging from the map, that is, one is forming an alliance horizontally and the other is forming an alliance vertically.

Why such an alliance?
Because no matter whether it is horizontal or vertical, there are several relatively powerful countries.

For example, in this direction, it is the state of Qin and the state of Chu.

In this direction, it is Qi, Zhao, and Wei.

of course.

Sometimes it's not exactly like that.

If necessary, it can be connected horizontally and vertically, or a messy alliance.

In a word.

You may not be afraid of a country, so I will unite several countries to fight you.

"So, since there is such a political and military need, there should be a need for this type of strategist. Besides these strategists, there is also a need for all kinds of well-known eloquent debaters. Otherwise, you may not be able to find it. Are these strategists really serving you? Sometimes, it seems that you are in an alliance with you on the bright side, and you are good. But when you form an alliance with you, you will find that there will be endless troubles."

Chen Fan briefly explained the background of the Warring States period.

Everyone couldn't get enough of it, and urged Chen Fan to continue.

Chen Fan was about to pat his ass to end the live broadcast.

Seeing everyone being so lively, Professor Zhou said, "Mr. Chen Fan, let's finish quickly. Don't talk about them, I am also very interested in what you are talking about."

"Then go ahead."

Chen Fan said: "So, as I said before, Huizi is the founder of a famous school. A famous school relies on debate. And a political strategist also relies on debate, and convinces the monarchs of various countries with a three-inch tongue. But when it comes to Debate, I think of a very interesting debate topic."

"What topic?"

"A white horse is not a horse."

Yes.

A white horse is not a horse.

This is the strongest debate technique in the Warring States period.
