Wentang

Chapter 195
After dealing with work matters and finally calmed down, Yue Shan came to his office to write and draw.

Although he is busy running the academy, he knows very well that the academy is just a tool and a way to express his thoughts.To really change the world, you still have to be strong enough.

Only with sufficient academic achievements can one obtain the corresponding right to speak.Otherwise, the academy he created will only become the wedding dress of traditional literati.

He didn't develop in this area before the time came, but now that the conditions are ripe, he will naturally try to get involved.

As for whether he has the ability to interpret Confucian classics—let alone, as a time traveler, it is no problem to bring out some thoughts of later generations and apply them to the Four Books and Five Classics.

Even some common-sense views that were commonplace in later generations had epoch-making and groundbreaking significance in the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, because of Yue Shan's occupation, he has indeed read some related literature.Although you can't recite the whole text, you can still restore part of the content according to the memory of the Analects book one by one.

Add some viewpoints from other places and your own ideas, and you can definitely publish a book like "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Analects of Confucius".The name of a generation of masters is at your fingertips.

However, he didn't directly start with "The Analects", the core Confucian classic, and he had to do everything step by step.

The same is true for accumulating reputation, starting from a small place to become famous little by little, until finally starting with the Analects of Confucius and completely setting up one's own banner.

Moreover, the large self-editing and editing team formed by Li Gang will soon be stationed in the academy, and the things he writes will not worry about being read.As long as these people read it, it is easy to become famous.

After thinking about it, Yue Shan decided to start by touting Confucianism, and wrote an article titled "Only Respecting Confucianism", praising its positive significance.

This paper is also the best for making a name for yourself.Which scholar dares to say no to articles that praise Confucianism?Not only can't say it's bad, but also help him blow it up.

Especially the Kong family, it is estimated that they can confess him like a grandfather.From now on, if anyone from the Kong family doesn't make a big salute when they see him, they will be stabbed in the back.

Thinking of that scene, Yue Shan felt excited from the bottom of his heart.

The point is that he is afraid that someone will argue with him when he writes other articles. After all, plagiarism is a doctrine, and he himself does not know the deep meaning of many places.

What would he do if someone questioned that this book was not written by him and wanted to argue with him?
reject?That is tantamount to admitting that the article was plagiarized.accept?A debate between truth and falsehood will reveal the truth.

And writing this article, he is not afraid of people asking him to debate, because in his previous life when he was in college, he really wrote a paper called "On the Necessity of Confucianism and its Positive Influence on the Formation of Traditional Chinese Culture".

At that time, in order to write this paper, he read all kinds of materials day and night, and he was very familiar with the source of every point of view and allusion in it.

Debate casually, maybe you can make me speechless, but you will never find any logical loopholes.But don't forget, this is an article touting Confucianism, which scholar dares to argue him speechless?

So writing this article, Yueshan is really invincible.

Although the final score of this paper in the previous life was not high - it was not that he wrote it badly, but that there were too many researches on this aspect in the academic world, and there were a lot of positive and negative research results.

The things he wrote are generally a summary of other people's research results, not novel.But in the Tang Dynasty, it is definitely a unique and groundbreaking work.

With the basis of the thesis in the previous life, it is not too difficult to write this article.But Yue Shan was still not in a hurry, but picked every word word by word to ensure that there would be no problems.

The first is to convert the vernacular into classical Chinese.This is not difficult. The reading level of classical Chinese after crossing Qianyue Mountain is above the horizontal line, and the writing ability is also improved quickly after crossing.

What is really difficult is some of the arguments in it.This thesis was written in the 21st century, so it is inevitable to borrow some phenomena and theories that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty and later dynasties.

Now these arguments must be replaced with allusions between the Han and Tang Dynasties. If no suitable examples can be found, this paragraph must be deleted and filled in again.

But this is not a problem for Yue Shan. He teaches history, so it is relatively easy to find a few allusions.And even if some arguments are deleted, it will not affect the overall meaning.

For this point, you can refer to the famous article "Encouraging Learning" in high school textbooks. When it is cut in half, not only does it not affect the meaning of the original text at all, but it also makes the whole article more concise and easy to understand.

Yue Shan had started copying this paper years ago, and it was almost finished at this time.All that is left is to revise word by word to ensure that no low-level mistakes appear.

Yue Shan has already planned that after the working group of the Great Dictionary settles in, he will take out this article and ask Li Gang and others to help him correct it.

Ancient times are not like modern times.Write a book in modern times and put it on the Internet. If the editor is satisfied, he can give a recommendation for tens of millions of people to read.If you write well, you will become a god in minutes.

In ancient times, it was all by word of mouth, and the speed of information dissemination was very slow. Even if a shocking work was written, it might take years, decades, and sometimes even several generations to spread across the world and become influential.

But Yueshan has unique conditions.

The first is the Big Dictionary Working Group.As far as Yue Shan knew, in order to complete this astonishing work, Li Gang used his influence to invite famous teachers and scholars from all over the world to participate.

Which of these famous teachers and scholars is not a person who is full of peaches and plums, or is the core figure of the local literati circle.As long as Yue Shan's works can satisfy these people, it is equivalent to becoming famous in the circle of scholars all over the world.

The second is the imperial court. With his influence on Li Shimin, once he handed over the book to the imperial court, he basically waited to become famous.

The last one is the Kong family. In the same sentence, they will sell this book and sell it, and they will also give money to help Yueshan advertise.

When he has developed a reputation among scholars, and then releases other books along the way, it will be easier to be accepted by the world.At that time, he does not need to promote it himself, and some people will help him promote it.

And writing a book is the easiest way to find like-minded people. As long as his book becomes famous, there will be a large number of people who have the same ideas as him and make friends with him.

If someone dared to slander him, those who supported him could fight those people without him personally taking action.

Confucius said that a group of gentlemen is not a party, but in fact, scholars have always been partisan and dissidents for thousands of years.The difference is whether the commotion is big or small.

A small movement is a reasonable argument, and a big movement that even affects the normal operation of the country is a party dispute.

The topic is getting further away, anyway, now Yueshan is waiting for the day when the library and office building are completed and the dictionary working group officially settles in.
