The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 157 "Clear talk" is not a dinner treat

Last year, Xie Daoyun and Xiao Qinzhi ran into Fenglindu in Wuxi by chance, and when they visited Taihu Lake at night, they said "clear talk" is skillful.

Here, I reiterate again that "clear talk" is not a dinner party, but a highly skilled handicraft (bragging), with a certain threshold and rules to be found.

First, the lowest level of "clear talk" is a fill-in-the-blank question. The basis is to familiarize yourself with the "Three Classics of Metaphysics" and the classics of various schools of thought. When someone mentions something, you have to know the source and meaning of what he said.

Relying on his good memory, Xiao Qinzhi has reached the point where he can memorize this kind of reference books fluently, so naturally it is no problem.

Second, it is necessary to "communicate", that is, several disciplines can communicate with each other, which requires "clear talkers" to be flexible in their minds. For example, the views mentioned in Lao Zhuang are also mentioned in Confucian classics. The two must be integrated. for unified thinking.

For example: In this world, there is a magical thing, with it, you can understand the origin of this world and how it works, it is invisible, invisible, and does not exist anywhere, but It's everywhere, you can't feel it, but it does exist.

It is "Tao", that is, the general rule of the law of this world, the basic law, which constitutes the basis of this world.

Therefore, throughout the ages, many sages have spent their entire lives seeking the "Tao".

For different types of people, the appellation for "Tao" is also different, but at the root, they all talk about the same thing.

The sage Lao Tzu called it "Tao", saying: "Tao can be Tao, it is very Tao, its name can be named, it is very famous."

The old monks (Zen) called "Tao" "Enlightenment", and its highest state can see everything as nothing, neither sorrow nor joy, that is, "Enlightenment". Yu Taixu; the cardinal of the world, like a drop thrown into a huge ravine."

Confucianism also has an explanation for this, and Zhu Xi called it "reason", which can be read from the book. Once you understand "reason", you can cultivate yourself, regulate your family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!
That is: "Only when the world is sincere can it realize its nature; if it can realize its nature, it can realize its human nature; if it can realize its human nature, it can realize its nature; if it can realize its nature, it can praise the cultivation of the world; If you can praise the cultivation of the world, you can join the world!"

Zhu Xi also told us to "investigate Wuqiongli", that is, the knack of cultivation, to understand what "reason" is, and it can be realized through "investigating things", so a guy who is committed to being a "sage" believed it and kept "getting", "Ge" worked hard, "Ge" worked hard, and "Ge" finally found that Zhu Xi's theory of "preserving the principles of nature and eliminating human desires" seemed wrong, and finally realized the "unity of knowledge and action" in Longchang.

Thus, a great philosophy in the history of Chinese civilization - "Xin Xue" was born, and he is Wang Shouren.

Xiao Qinzhi will definitely not be able to reach Wang Shouren's realm, but in several subjects, there is me in you, and you in me, and the knowledge points can be exchanged. It can still be done. To put it simply, it can be regarded as an advanced "fill in the blank question".

Third, after filling in the blanks, there is reading comprehension, that is, to understand these classics and know what they are talking about. The premise is to understand the understanding of the predecessors. Generally, these predecessors will leave their own understanding in the notes. It is the "Notes of Laozi and Wang Bi", "Notes of Zheng Xuan", "Notes of He Yan" and other "Notes" that we are familiar with.

If you can pass the first three, then congratulations, you have become a "clear talk" novice and obtained the qualification of "clear talk".

Fourth, after reading comprehension, it is time to start writing a composition. Based on the understanding of the predecessors, I have my own understanding, which is unique and reasonable. It must be refreshing, and it makes sense after thinking about it.

If you have reached this level, it means that you have entered the world, and you can rely on bragging (clear talk) to make a living in this era, because there are many patrons who will watch you bragging every day.

If you blow like everyone else, it means you are an average player. If you blow things that others don't understand, it means you are a master.

The more inscrutable you are, the more respected you will be, and you will be the guest of the big sponsors, and there will be many fans chasing you and blocking you. You are the top star of this era.

At this point, congratulations, you are famous and prominent. As for whether you have the real talent to govern the country through Confucianism, it doesn’t matter at all. The important thing is that you can brag, and you can brag well.

Xiao Qinzhi is currently in the fourth realm. This is because Xiao Qinzhi came from a later age and has a wider perspective on problems than people of this era. This is a great advantage, and he can even learn from In the answers to some established questions, reverse deduction is carried out.

At the same time, in this era, there are actually not many people who are in the fourth realm. They can say new ideas only occasionally, and most of them are still playing word games when they are bragging together.

Therefore, in the Qingliang Hall of Jiuhuatai, in the fourth realm, Yu Ran, an ordinary player, wanted to use "clear talk" to get back the field, but kicked him on the iron board. Next, instead of talking freely, be calm and composed.

Xiao Qinzhi can not only "talk", but also "pretend", which involves another science, how to pretend to be fresh and refined, but not boring, and take it for granted, so he likes it from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Qinzhi changed into a brocade white dress prepared by Xie Daoyun brought by Xie Xuan today. It hung down like a bag, with a tight body and a thin figure. There was an elegant wind suddenly, and his face was white and flawless. No need to apply it. Natural powder is always better than artificial.

More than that, Xiao Qinzhi sat in front of the desk, with a dignified posture, gentle and elegant, courteous and thoughtful, with a slight smile on his face, he spoke neither slow nor arrogant, his thoughts were not in a hurry, he had something to say, and he would always get to the point On the other hand, there is room for those who make things difficult for him.

Let me ask, when your opponent has an extremely enviable appearance, a good personality, gentle manners, extremely talented, eloquent, and has become the embodiment of gentleness, kindness and humility, how can you beat him?

What do you use to defeat him?
Today's Xiao Qinzhi puts on a good "pretend" in front of the rich and powerful in Jiankang, and naturally, Yu Ran becomes the background board.

Not only that, Yu Ran, who had been unable to attack for a long time, became more and more impatient, like an ant in a hot pot, because of this face, he couldn't afford to lose it, he represented the Yu family, not to mention so many people were watching!
In fact, Xiao Qinzhi's performance not only overwhelmed Yu Ran, but also overwhelmed all the spectators. They seemed unable to understand how a young man from a low-class gentry could have such profound knowledge. Such a deep understanding.

To put it a bit more exaggerated, among the people here today, there are not many who can beat Yu Ran in "debating".
As a result, many young talents who want to get back their positions have encountered difficulties for a while. It seems that Xiao Qinzhi's idea is very difficult, it is not easy to handle, it is very annoying!

Xiao Qinzhi is very good at "being a human being". Needless to say, winning or losing is at your fingertips. If you insist on a thorough discussion, you will lose the traditional Chinese virtues. of.

With Xiao Qinzhi intentionally leaving room, Yu Ran knew that continuing would only add to the laughing stock, so she accepted the kindness and left with "piss escape", which means "admit defeat".

Unexpectedly, "urine escape" still has this effect on this occasion.

The first stage ended here, and Xiao Qinzhi heaved a sigh of relief after Yu Ran's thorny problem was solved.
