Song Yuanhuanzhi

As the Wenhui was approaching, students from various academies also arrived in Jian'an County one after another.

With the support of the Zou family, Ziyang Academy used the Jingshui Building under its name to entertain the scholars who came to the school.

Jingshui Building is built near the water, which means that it is close to the moon when the building is close to the water.

The Zou family's mind is clearly revealed.

The Shi family and the Hua family can only use marriage to compete against the Zou family.

July 27

Ziyang Academy
The staff of the major academies corresponded to the seats and sat in separate seats.

The teams that came this time are:
Danyang County, Nanxuan Academy
Linhai County, Jinao Academy
Xindu County, Nanhu College
Wujun, Yunshen Academy

Guangling County, Yanxi Academy
Kuaiji County, Jishan Academy
Huainan County, Jingxian Academy
Linchuan County, Xiangshan Academy
There are two teachers in the team, and the number of students is variable, depending on how the other party's academy arranges.

However, the number of people coming will not be too small, after all, this kind of opportunity is rare.

In most cases, there will be more than ten people and less than 20 people, and in special cases there will be more than 20 people.

Mr. Yan An first presided over the "opening ceremony" routinely.

After the speeches, the exchange meeting officially began.

Questions and answers are not aimed at anyone, and everyone has the right to speak and ask questions.

Shentu Ziling, a student of Nanxuan Academy, stood up, saluted with half of his body, and was the first to ask a question.

I saw him asking, "'Cultivating Taoism' and talking about 'spirituality' is the work of a sage, and 'cultivating the Tao is a matter of teaching' is a matter of sages?"

Jia Yangshan of Jingxian Academy got up and bowed, took Shentu Ziling's question, and said, "Everyone is also willful, but more sages are divided into sages. Therefore, 'the way of sageness' is a matter of sages. Saints also practice Taoism." Yes, but cultivating the Tao is mostly divided among the sages, so "cultivating the Tao is called teaching" belongs to the sages."

Jia Yangshan also said, "The book "The Doctrine of the Mean" is mostly about cultivating Taoism. Therefore, everyone who talks about gentlemen, Yan Yuan, and Zilu in the following is able to cultivate Taoism. Talking about villains, talking about virtuous, wise, stupid, unworthy, It is said that ordinary people cannot practice Taoism, and other words such as Shun, Wen, Zhou Gong, Zhongni, sincere and holy, are also sages who can cultivate Taoism on their own.”

Mr. Tong and Mr. Kong beside him said, "This student from Jingxian Academy is really good."

Seeing this, Shi Youping, who was behind him, got up and asked the previous question, "Ge Zhi's theory is to study things at any time so that he can know it, then he knows that it is a knowledge of one section, not all. status?"

As soon as this question came up, everyone thought about it.

At this time, Wei Fuliang of Yunshen Academy got up and said, "The human heart is the sky and the abyss. The body of the heart is omnipotent. It was originally a sky. It was only hindered by selfish desires. Then the body of the sky is lost. The principles of the heart are endless. It was originally a sky. The abyss is only suffocated by selfish desires, and the original body of the abyss will be lost. Now, if you think about your conscience, and remove all this obstruction, you will be heaven and abyss."

At this time, He Suimu of Jin'ao Academy got up and pointed to heaven, "For example, if you see the sky in front of you, it is the manifest sky, and if you see the sky outside, it is also the manifest sky. It is only covered by the walls of many houses, but the whole sky cannot be seen. If the walls of the houses are removed, It is always the same sky. It cannot be said that the sky before yesterday is the manifest sky, and the outside world is not the manifest sky. From this we can see that the knowledge of one section is the knowledge of the whole, and the knowledge of the whole is the knowledge of one section, which is always one body. "

Zuo Daoji of Xiangshan Academy also said, "My generation's knowledge is only as far as it is limited. Today's conscience is like this, just follow today's knowledge, and expand to the end. Tomorrow, conscience will be enlightened again, and it will be expanded from tomorrow's knowledge to the end. This is the only way to master your skills. When discussing learning with others, you must also share your limits with others."

"If a tree has these sprouts, just drain the water and irrigate them. When the sprouts grow again, they will add water again. From arching to embracing, the power of irrigation can be done according to their limits. If there are some small sprouts, there is a bucket of water. If it is poured up, it will soak him."

Song Huan secretly yawned while sitting behind Fu Yuanzhi.

She could understand every word they said, but she couldn't understand the meaning of some words together. It would be great if there were subtitles.

Although Fu Yuanzhi was engrossed in listening to the discussion in front of him, Song Huan was not left behind.

With his back on his back, he secretly passed a handkerchief to Song Huan.

Song Huan took it immediately, but he couldn't distract everyone.

She originally wanted Fu Yuanzhi and Adi to listen carefully, and she took notes on the sidelines, but her ability was limited, and only what she wrote down with charcoal could understand.

Still, talk is better than nothing, right?

She always insists that a good memory is worse than a bad pen.

But you can’t take notes while listening and memorizing, because it’s easy to miss the later knowledge points and fail to connect.

So you still have to listen carefully first, so that you can straighten out these words in your mind.

On the field
In the beginning, the students communicated with each other, until Meng Shuda, a student of Nanhu College, asked the gentlemen about the unity of knowledge and action.

Mr. Liu Jingsheng of Jingxian College said, "It is necessary to understand the purpose of the sage's words. Today's learning is only because knowledge and action are divided into two parts, so one thought is activated. Although it is not good, but it has not been practiced, so it is not prohibited.'Knowledge and action are one ’, it is enough for people to know where a thought is initiated. If there is an unwholesome thought at the origin, then the unwholesome thought must be overthrown, and it must be thorough, so that the unwholesome thought will not be hidden in the chest.”

Liu Shangyin from Jin'ao Academy asked, "Sir, you have said that good and evil are just one thing, and the two ends of good and evil are like ice and coal. How can you call it a thing?"

Mr. Hu Jipi of Nanhu Academy said, "The most good person is the essence of the heart. If the essence is too good, it is evil. It is not that there is a goodness, but there is also an evil. Therefore, goodness and evil are just one thing. .”

After listening to Mr. Hu's words, the students at the scene understood the so-called "goodness is of course nature, but evil cannot but be called nature" and "good and evil are both natural principles", "what is called evil is not evil at all, but it is not in harmony with nature." There is an ear between too much and not enough."

Mr. Hu said, "If a person loves goodness as much as he loves sex, and hates evil as badly, then he is a saint."

When the students first heard this, they thought it was very easy, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that this skill is really difficult.

For example, although thoughts can know that they like good intentions and hate malicious intentions, they are mixed in without knowing it. Once mixed, it is not a heart that likes good intentions as much as it likes beauty, and hates malice as much as it hates bad smells.

If one can genuinely like good intentions, then one has no bad thoughts.

If one can genuinely hate malice, then one does not have a single thought of evil.

It is far from a saint!

Another student asked the teacher for advice on the phrase "something to be angry about".

Song Zijun of Nanxuan Academy said, "How can people's hearts have nothing if they are angry, but they must not "have" ears."

How can there be no emotions in people's hearts, such as anger?

Just "shouldn't" have.

"Ordinary people are angry, and if they have a sense of meaning, they will be angry too much, and they are not a man of justice. Therefore, if there is anger, it will not be correct. Now, for all the anger and other things, it is just a thing to adapt to. , don't pay any attention to it, then your mind and body will be clear and righteous, and you will have the integrity of your body. And if you go out and see people fighting, it's not true, my heart is also angry, but even though I am angry, my heart is clear and I have never moved It’s a little bit angry. It’s the same for angering people now, it’s just right.”

Zuo Daoji asked for advice, "Mr. said, 'Buddha doesn't have appearance, but actually has appearance. Confucianism has appearance, but actually doesn't have appearance'. What's the explanation?"

Song Zijun continued, "The Buddha is afraid that father and son will be tired, but he runs away from father and son; he is afraid that ruler and ministers are tired, but he runs away from ruler and minister; he is afraid that couples are tired, but he runs away from couple. It's all for the sake of king and minister, father and son, and husband and wife, so they have to escape. My Confucian, if there is a father and son, give him benevolence; if there is a ruler and minister, give him faith;
