Hundreds of schools follow

Chapter 55 The Materialist

In the guest room not far away, Bai Pi also talked to the three of them about the "fight for starting a family" and "the battle for destroying a family".

Just from what he said, these academic disputes immediately became vulgar, so the disputes turned into a dispute of interests, making it like a mountain top. If you enclose land for the king and set up camp, you will always be approached by the surrounding mountain kings .

Let alone Si Qinghuang and Ying Yue, even Tan Ying couldn't stand listening to the contention of a hundred schools of thought to such an extent.

"Bai Xuebo, you're going too far..." He shook his head repeatedly and said, "There are always quite a few people who only care about learning and don't ask for profit, just like Siye and Jijiu."

"Hey, Si Ye is as you said, offering wine...do you dare to say that you understand offering wine? I don't even understand after I've been here for so long."

Si Qinghuang argued: "Even if there are interests, but the theory of a family, if it can stand, it can stand, just like what we argue today, as long as it can convince the public, it should be established, who would dare to be so shameless? Argument?"

"Aren't you the one?" Bai Pi stared at her and said, "Didn't you just wipe out other materialists?"

"I... I didn't destroy it when I was reasoning, it was a personal enmity! There is no shame in a personal enmity."

"Oh." Bai Pi laughed it off, "One thing in the world is fame, the other is profit, and there is no third. How many saints like Guangwu care about all living beings?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Ying wanted to roll up her sleeves to argue.

Apart from fame and fortune, shouldn't it be just for learning?
He retorted: "Bai Xuebo, let's not talk about things other than fame and fortune. Let me ask you, what are the benefits if a hundred families come to destroy me?"

"I'm going to devour your way."

"Huh?" Tan Ying was dumbfounded.

"Hey, what is the so-called biting the Tao..." Bai Pi shook his head suddenly while talking, "Forget it, my mouth is sour from talking, wait and hear the sacrificial wine to tell you, it is more important to keep my tongue thing."

Tan Ying still wanted to ask, but she heard Zhou Jingzhi calling the door:

"Old Bai, invite them to come!"

……

At noon, Tanying returned to Wendao lobby again, and Bai Pi also closed the door and left.

After attending, Fan Ya presented him with the decision to go to the academy.

Whether it is announced to the world or not depends on Tan Ying.

If Tanying doesn't announce it, he will study in the academy as a bachelor from now on, and decide whether to call it a materialist after the theory of astronomy is written and written.

If the sandalwood tassel is proclaimed, the Academy can provide a venue for informal discussions and receive hundreds of celebrities who come to debate.

In addition, there will be no official support, and Fan Ya and Han Sun are even less likely to help him, and they may even refute him as judges.

As for other scholars, if they wish to help each other in their own name, this academy doesn't care.

Tan Ying nodded her head repeatedly to show her thanks.

In the face of the severe battle to start a family, it is the best of humanity to be able to achieve this step.

What's more, there are more than a hundred secondary materials.

After talking about the subject, Fan Ya asked: "Tanying, before you make a decision, can you first explain, what is 'materialism'?"

Hearing this, Tan Ying took a deep breath.

This is indeed a problem.

From Zeng Zi's words about investigating things and extending knowledge, to Russell's "Philosophical Problems" and "Principles of Mathematics".

From Mo Di alone carrying the scientific enlightenment of the entire East, to Mr. Ma's dialectical materialism and historical materialism.

Such a large, broad and profound thought is naturally beyond Tan Ying's comprehension and generalization, and even talking about it is a kind of blasphemy.

But he chose the word in the end.

Even if, maybe this world is not "materialistic", that's fine.

It is enough to plant this seed and let these two words appear.

As long as a part of it is right, it will naturally take root and grow in the right direction.

At this point in her thoughts, Tan Ying has returned to the original starting point unconsciously, and the air in her eyes has become pure and innocent.

Then.

Let's explore the way of heaven together with this era!
Tan Ying said up to this point:
"Materialism means only talking about objects.

"Inherit the Confucian way of studying things and follow the Mohist philosophy of mathematics.

"Do not interfere with the thoughts of others, do not direct the lives of others.

"Regardless of the gods, do not approach the king's government, do not gather disciples, and do not bind the rules.

"All schools of thought are my teachers, and all things are my learning.

"As big as astronomy and astrology, as small as ants and barnyards.

"I only talk about things.

"This is materialism."

Tanying is speechless so far, and the interpretation stops here.

Of course, there is much more materialism than what he just said, so much that he couldn't even comprehend one of the ten.

Why should he teach others what he doesn't understand himself?
Because of this, this initial seed cannot be smaller——

Only discuss objective matter.

Not even such claims as "the world is objective" and "matter precedes consciousness" are mentioned.

After all, whether the world is objective and whether matter is prior to consciousness are the questions that we will study and study in the future.

But right now, this materialistic seed only seeks the lowest posture, starts from the smallest place, and explores from scratch in this world full of aura, taking root and sprouting little by little.

As for whether it will grow into a towering tree in the future or indulge in the long river of history, there will be a way of heaven to respond to it, and future generations will do it.

There is no doubt that this sown seed never belonged to Tanying, nor did it belong to anyone.

From the beginning to the end, Tan Ying was just a student under the Dao of Heaven.

Going further, he might write his insights into a book, learn what he wants to learn, read what he wants to read, and discuss what he wants to discuss.

As for gathering people to open a museum, Zuo Wang's participation in politics, and fighting for the world, there are already too many people doing such things. Tan Ying has no confidence that she will do better than others, and she has no interest in doing it.

The family will collapse, and the emperor's career will perish.

But knowledge does not.

Knowledge can only be passed on.

From the perspective of the year 2000, this is the only thing Tanying has to do.

The only thing worth doing.

Thinking so far, Tanying suddenly realized——

Guangwu.

Do you think so too?

On the other side, after hearing Tanying's interpretation, Zhu Xuebo was not shocked, only silent.

Although the shape of the air is shaped by heaven, the virtue of martial arts is bestowed by heaven.

But how to interpret his own way is up to the founder of the family.

This will also be the basis of a family, which determines too many things.

Right now, Tanying's interpretation is only taking a small corner in the sea of ​​heaven.

It is too simple, too pure.

The good thing is that such a materialist will no longer have major conflicts of interest with other families, and if he presents his way in such a narrow and humble way, the pressure to start a family dispute will be much less.

The worst thing is, how can such a materialist survive in this era of Daoism if he does not take charge of the government, does not gather scholars, does not teach the people and does not make profits?
If Emperor Guangwu was still alive, he would definitely like such a materialist, and he would help him with the respect of the emperor and the power of the Dingfengtian Academy.

But now, how many such great men are there who are both pure and unparalleled, and who have power and wealth all over the world?
"Alas—alas—"

Fan Ya let out a long sigh, as if bereaved, and she mourned with Tanying from a distance: "If it weren't for the way of heaven to shape you to start a family... I would invite you to my Mo family and help you establish the materialistic way, this will be a great cause... It will be a great cause..."
