Riding the wind of rebirth

Everyone didn't feel that they had been shaved by Zhou Zhi. On the contrary, they appreciated the shells he sent and praised him for being smart.

However, everyone is very busy, and staying in Shuzhong for more than a week is already too long, so this matter has to be entrusted to Zhou Zhi to find the school.

Zhou Zhi stayed at Suihuaxuan that night, and the next day the provincial government sent a convoy to pick them up. Zhou Zhi only needed to send everyone to the small bridge on the hillside.

Cousin An Xin tugged on Zhou Zhi's collar: "I see you are busy all day long, but you are not paying attention to your studies. I guess my uncle is very worried..."

At this moment, Zhou Zhi felt inexplicably sympathetic with Su Datou, and suddenly realized what Su Datou was really thinking when he was admonishing Su Datou - hurry up, why are you talking so much...

However, he didn't dare to quarrel with his cousin An An like Su Datou did to him, otherwise he would definitely receive violent corporal punishment, so he rolled his eyes and picked up the same words: "You did the same in the south, and now you are married. , if you need to restrain your temper, you should also restrain your temper, let’s just pretend to be like this for 30 or [-] years before it’s too late to be exposed..."

"Get out!" Cousin An An immediately exploded like a cat being stepped on, and the feeling of separation between the siblings was immediately diluted without a trace.

Behind Xu Anxin, Li Laosan quietly extended his thumb to Zhou Zhi, meaning that you still have a way.

……

After Zhou Zhi took the newly acquired ancient paintings to the studio in Hongqi Village and put them away, he drove the car to the teachers' dormitory building in Taohua Village, parked it, and rushed to class, he was inevitably late.

As a result, when Zhou Zhi poked his head at the door of the classroom, he found that the teacher was not there, and the classmates were chatting there.

"Hey, here comes the elbow. Let's let him teach this class." Tong Xiaolin, the study committee member, saw the sneaky Zhou Zhi and said immediately.

Only then did Zhou Zhi walk into the classroom swaggeringly: "Why isn't Teacher Xu here?"

"I heard that there is some kind of seminar." Zhang Qianyi said: "Mr. Xu arranged for everyone to study "Guanju" by themselves. This guy, we study by ourselves, isn't it just a matter of half a class?"

Wu Guiye took the lead in applauding: "Let me teach you a lesson, everyone, croak, croak, croak!"

Now more than half of the students knew about Zhou Zhi's proficiency in ancient Chinese literature, so everyone joined in and applauded together without taking it too seriously.

Today's college students, except for people like Zhou Zhi, are quite self-conscious. Even if they are chatting in class, no one leaves. Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "What I said may be different from what the teacher said."

"I just want to hear something different, don't you think so?" Zhao Xing said.

"Yes!" Li Yijia echoed.

"Okay, since everyone doesn't mind, I'll talk about it." Zhou Zhi walked directly to the podium: "If I'm wrong, please criticize and correct me."

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!" Li Dongping said with a smile: "If you don't speak well, we will naturally take necessary measures without you reminding us!"

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Zhi also laughed: "To talk about "Guan Ju", we must first talk about the origin of "The Book of Songs", and then we can talk about why "Guan Ju" is the first chapter of "The Book of Songs" and is of very important significance." "The Zhou Dynasty has a set of Every spring, the poetry officer would rock the wooden instrument and go deep into the folk, collect folk songs, and sort out the works that could reflect the joys and sufferings of the people and hand them over to the Grand Master."

"The Grand Master is one of the three princes, the head of hundreds of officials, the official responsible for making music, and also responsible for educating the emperor. He composes the poems he collects and orders the orchestra to sing them to the emperor as a reference for governing."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, rituals collapsed and music collapsed. In order to promote the ritual system, Confucius compiled the poems left by the music officials of the Zhou Dynasty, and added some of his own collections, and finally synthesized three major parts of Fengya Ode to reflect the society from the early Zhou Dynasty to the middle Spring and Autumn Period. A collection of poems about life aspects, this is the origin of The Book of Songs."

"The first part of the Book of Songs is "Wind". "Wind" is a voice from the people. Why did Confucius put it at the top? There are many explanations in later generations, but one is generally recognized, and that is related to Confucius' ideals. , it’s for ‘Feng Tianxia’.”

"The so-called 'wind of the world' refers to the atmosphere that drives the world. Confucius believed that it is the ruler's original responsibility to let people in the world cultivate a good moral outlook, cultivate a culture that praises truth, goodness and beauty, and criticizes falsehood, evil and ugliness."

"Under this motivation, the first chapter of "Wind" is also the first chapter of "Book of Songs". Why did Confucius choose "Guanju" in "Zhou Nan"?"

"That's why we need to understand what "Zhou Nan" means."

"After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the territory expanded. In order to strengthen his ruling power, the Emperor of Zhou began to enfeoff the princes. Among them, Ji Dan, the Duke of Zhou, and Ji Xi, the Duke of Zhao, were divided into Shaanxi to govern. The record in "Shang Shu Luo Gao" is that "Zhao Gong has already become the prime minister. , Duke Zhou went to camp to form Zhou.'"

"The Duke of Zhou ran the eastern capital of Luoyi, which became the Zhou Dynasty, and he also ruled the eastern princes."

"Everyone knows the effect of management. As the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Luoyi also extended the life of the Zhou Dynasty for 500 years."

""Zhou Nan" is supposed to be a folk song in the area under Duke Zhou's rule, covering the south of the Yellow River section in Luoyang today to the Jianghan area, and the specific places include the southwestern part of Henan and the northwestern part of Hubei."

"Because the collection area is vast and it is inconvenient to compile each of them separately, they are collectively called 'South' to represent the poetry of the Southern Kingdom."

"Who is Zhou Gong? He is the younger brother of Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. His name is Dan, so he is also called Shudan. Because his fief is in Chengzhou, he is called Zhou Gong."

"His life achievements are summarized in "Shangshu" as: "One year to rescue the rebellion, two years to conquer Yin, three years to practice the Immortals, four years to build a marquis and guard, five years to form a camp, six years to establish rituals and music, and seven years to be in charge of politics. Cheng Wang.' He was the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, an outstanding politician, militarist, thinker, and educator. He advocated 'clear virtues and careful punishments', governed the country with etiquette, and created the Western Zhou rites and music system that had a profound impact on later generations. It is a Confucian A pioneer, he was revered as the 'Original Saint' by later generations."

"Confucius was actually the ideological successor of Duke Zhou. His worship of Duke Zhou was reflected in many places. At that time, the fiefdom governed by Duke Zhou was also the area with the highest level of civilization, culture, and moral standards of the people in China and even the world."

"The Analects of Confucius mentions "Poetry" many times, but the only work Confucius made a specific evaluation of is "Guanyong", saying that it is 'happy but not obscene, sad but not sad', which is a line in the Confucian ideological system An important component - a classic representative of the doctrine of the mean.”

"After understanding these backgrounds, it is not difficult for us to understand the significance of Confucius choosing "Zhou Nan" as the first chapter of "The Book of Songs" and "Guanyong" as the first chapter of "Zhou Nan"."

At this time, someone in the audience raised their hands, but it was Wu Guiye, a master of ancient prose.

"We classmates don't have to raise our hands to speak, right?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just interrupt. It's okay to even argue. It's like discussing and discussing, boss Wu. you say."

Wu Guiye smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just heard that you said that Confucius was an admirer of Duke Zhou, but Duke Zhou specified the system of rites and music, but Confucius said, "The one who started the evil has no future." Does it mean that Confucius' thoughts on Duke Zhou are actually Is it the inheritance of criticism?”

"Another point is that when King Wu conquered Zhou, the "Muslim Oath" mentioned King Zhou's major sins. The most serious one was that he could not perform sacrifices. We all know that the sacrificial system of the Shang Dynasty was extremely cruel and would involve a large number of people being sacrificed. So does this mean that King Zhou actually represented a progressive force, but King Wu used backward concepts to win over people's hearts, and finally overthrew the representative of progressive forces?"
