Chapter 118 New Learning
After convincing Hua Xin with the new theory, things became much easier afterwards.

Hua Xin is worthy of being a great Confucian, with knowledge beyond the heavens.Under the suggestion of He Yan, he directly changed the new theory into a brand-new interpretation of "Book of Changes", using "New Interpretation of Book of Changes" and "Mencius" as the carrier, and achieved this torch of inheriting ancient Chinese classics.

For several days, the three of them plus Zheng Hun studied hard, and finally determined the basic rules of "New Learning".

The core is He Yan's eight characters of "investigate things to gain knowledge, and combine knowledge and action".

In philosophy, the new learning developed "everything in the world is born of existence, and existence is born of nothing" to "everything is different according to its dignity", that is, "the existence of foreign objects is all because of tangible substances, and tangible substances are also different." It comes from intangible matter, and this intangible matter will not change due to differences in people."

Ideologically, Xinxue completely negates prophecy and uses the laws obtained from practice to explain astronomical phenomena and set things right.

In politics, Xinxue integrated Mencius's theory that "the people are more important than the emperor" and advocated depriving the Son of Heaven of his dominance over all things in the world.

If we say that Jinwen Jingxue and Guwen Jingxue used idealism to help the emperor strengthen his rule, then Xinxue used materialism to challenge the emperor's supremacy.

This is no longer a class struggle, but a real orthodoxy struggle!
A small flame lighted up quietly on the land of Yingchuan.As for whether the small flame was extinguished by the endless darkness when it was born or developed into a raging fire that could start a prairie fire, it all depended on the four people sitting in the room.

After the completion of the revision of "New Interpretation of the Book of Changes" and "Mencius", the four of them solemnly held the scrolls, their eyes full of firm faith.

"After that, it's time to spread it out."

A viable theory must be accepted by more people, so as to be improved, and then accepted by more people.

Otherwise, if you entertain yourself, even the brightest thoughts will be covered with dust.

Hua Xin and Zheng Hun got up and said, "I'm going to visit some old friends these days, and then I'll gather my former students and teach them something new."

Chen Qun also got up: "I will show his new learning to Mr. Xun Ling, and ask him to help spread it."

He Yan finally said: "If that's the case, I'll leave it to you!"

???

Seeing the three people looking at him strangely, He Yan also spread his hands: "Otherwise? I am familiar with some soldiers in the army. Could it be that you want me to teach a group of Qiuba who don't know big characters new knowledge?"

The basic set of Hua Xin and Zheng Hun is a group of great scholars, belonging to the high-end market.

Chen Qun's basic set is a bunch of aristocratic families, belonging to the mid-end market.

He Yan... I'm sorry, He Yan doesn't seem to have a basic board at the moment. Even if he does, there are tens of thousands of illiterate farmers and soldiers.

At a time when people's wisdom is generally undeveloped and productivity has not improved, wanting to use them as the foundation... That is not something a mediocre person like He Yan can do, but let a great man do it.

Hua Xin and Chen Qun thought about it, so they didn't make things difficult for He Yan.

"But I still have one thing that can help, just need to wait for some time."

What He Yan was talking about was of course papermaking and printing.

As a set of technologies that have been used badly, He Yan said that it can be done by relying on memory in three days.

What's more, with the backing of the entire aristocratic class now, it is really no difficulty to make this non-technical thing.

When the slightly yellowed "New Interpretation of the Book of Changes" and "Mencius" bound into volumes were handed over to Hua Xin, Hua Xin looked astonished: "Can things be written on paper?"

"nature."

"And it can print a lot!"

He Yan invested a lot in the dissemination of the new learning this time, and what he wanted was a lot of effort.

The ten engraving blocks were started at the same time, and only "New Interpretation of the Book of Changes" and "Mencius" were printed. In just a few days, hundreds of copies were printed for Hua Xin and Chen Qun's dissemination.

The first person to see Xinxue was none other than Xun Yu, a socialite who is extremely sensitive to Xu Chang's wind direction.

When he saw these two books, the shock in his heart was not enough to describe in words.

"This book should exist in the sky!"

The explanations about celestial phenomena in it are so detailed that Xun Yu began to wonder if the book was added by immortals.

"Mount Tai, there are no immortals in the world, only the most basic laws. If you don't have this kind of understanding, you won't be able to understand this new learning."

In the past few days, Chen Qun's understanding of the new learning has gradually deepened, and he completely abandoned what he learned in the past, calling himself a "new learning Confucian student".

So when someone mentioned the immortal, Chen Qun couldn't help but go up to refute him, even if this person was his father-in-law Xun Yu.

"There are no immortals in the world?"

Xun Yu was stunned for a while, savoring the words carefully.

There are no immortals in the world, does it also mean that there is no "heaven", no "god", and no "son of heaven"?
After thinking step by step, Xun Yu finally discovered the core of the new learning.

And this discovery also made Xun Yu choose to read the two new classics again from the beginning.

With Xun Yu's wisdom, he will naturally understand what he didn't understand the first time after reading it again.

"This knowledge is amazing!"

Xun Yu still couldn't believe it: "You said it was Hua Ziyu's work? He has been in Jiangdong for a few years, and he has reached the stage of a generation of masters?"

Chen Qun nodded and shook his head, looking very conflicted.

But in the end Chen Qun still told Xun You the truth, and begged him not to spread it to the outside world——

"For the outside world, they all claim that it was done by Hua Xin and Zheng Hun."

"But internally, the four of us all know that the one who contributed the most is... Marquis Shen."

He Yan?

Xun Yu frowned lightly, "Are you kidding me?"

And Xun Yu's appearance did not escape Chen Qun's eyes: "Look! That's why we want to give the credit for creating a new study to Brother Ziyu."

"Marquis Shen once said that the prejudice between people is like a mountain."

"If the world knows that the new learning comes from the hands of a young man, they will definitely look down on it, thus delaying the spread of the new learning."

"Even if all of us have confidence in the new learning, it will take more than ten or twenty years for it to be developed."

"At that time, it is not too late for Marquis Shen, but it will be too late for us."

Chen Qun said with emotion: "Marquis Shen really has the heart and wisdom of the ancient sages."

"This theory of new learning, even in the era of a hundred schools of thought, might not fail to stand out and become a generation of outstanding learning. At that time, Marquis Shen might not be able to be called "He Zi" by the world. Now, for the sake of morality, he puts this It is really admirable to give up the credit."

"..."

Xun Yu couldn't listen anymore.

He Yan contributed the most to this new study?
Xun Yu knew about He Yan's performance during the Battle of Guandu. If He Yan at that time could still be defined as a "genius", now with the emergence of new learning, He Yan can already be defined as a "monster".

A "dragon begets a tiger, raises an eagle and beats a fan" monster!

Xun Yu was in a complicated mood at this time, touching the book in his hand...

and many more!

books!

It was only then that Xun Yu realized that the object in his hand was not bamboo slips or silk cloth, but... paper?

Although he didn't want to believe it, Xun Yu still asked Chen Qun, "Is this also caused by Marquis Shen?"

"Um……"

Chen Qun's words made Xun Yu feel speechless again.

"I'll go find Sikong!"
