One day, Song Lian was telling Zhu Biao the verse “The moth has a son, and the moth bears it.” His explanation is that if a borer gives birth to a young child, the moth will carry it on its back. Raise him as a righteous son, and the moth will eventually turn into a moth and continue to pass on the lineage.

This is the orthodox interpretation of the Book of Poetry that has been passed down for thousands of years.

At this time, Zhu Biao interrupted Song Lian’s words, but he knew that this sentence was wrong.

“Master, a dog raised by a cat can’t become a cat, and a cat raised by a dog can’t become a dog, so how can a borer turn into a moth in the end?”

Song Lian pondered for a while and answered Zhu Biao.

“The world says so, and the poetry has always been circulating in this way, and it cannot be wrong to think about it.”

“Didn’t the Father always tell me, “Seek a copy of your heart, so that you can be a saint?” Seek to replicate the way of the heart, which you think is to know the mind and clear the mind. And the way of knowing the mind, you think of it is the knowledge of things. Now, let’s carefully observe the process of the borer turning into a moth, and carry out the knowledge of things, isn’t it? Master, we should practice true knowledge. ”

The practice of Zhu Biao is true knowledge, which belongs to the basic knowledge that everyone knows in modern times.

But for Song Lian, it was simply a daigo empowerment.

“Practice gives true knowledge, practice gives true knowledge!”

The more Song Lian chanted, the more excited he became, and finally looked at Zhu Biao’s eyes and wanted to hide Zhu Biao.

Historically, the end of the Yuan and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty were a crucial moment for the transformation of Confucian thought.

There are countless great Confucians who want to make breakthroughs through “knowing by qualities”.

However, even with Song Lian’s knowledge, he did not have a deep understanding of the lattice object.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the great Ru king Yangming used the learning of his ancestors and meditated on a bamboo tree for seven days and seven nights, not only did he get nothing, but he tired himself down.

In the end, Wang Yangming abandoned the direction of “knowing by qualities”, realized the Dao in the dragon field, and created the “Yangming Heart Study”, advocating that “there is no good and no disgusting body, and there is good and malicious movement.” Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and eliminating evil for good is a thing. ”

This explanation, although it has made great progress in Confucianism.

However, at the same time, Confucianism’s “knowledge of qualities” is also becoming farther and farther away from modern scientific thought.

And Zhu Biao now directly proposed the modern “practice produces true knowledge” to explain Confucianism’s “knowledge of things”.

For Song Lian, a great Confucian at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a grace of reconstruction.

It is now December, and the borer lays its eggs in May, and Song Lian immediately decided to go with Zhu Biao to verify.

May of the following year.

Zhu Biao and Song Lian found a nest of moths, and easily found that these moths attached the moths back to the nest, stabbed the moths half to death with the poisonous needle on their tails, and then laid eggs on the borers.

It turns out that the borer is not a righteous son, but the food of the descendants of the moth!

The Book of Poetry is actually wrong! What people have understood for thousands of years is wrong!

Song Lian looked at the eggs on the borer’s body, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

He and Zhu Biao actually discovered the error of the Book of Poetry!

No, it should be said that Zhu Biao’s “practice produces true knowledge” really pointed out the error of the poetry scripture!

Zhu Biao is only six and a half years old!

Song Lian couldn’t help but think about what he would achieve as Zhu Biao grew up.

As his literary master, what kind of reputation will he leave in history?

Time goes around in circles, another half a year.

With Song Lian, Zhu Biao constantly practiced “practice produces true knowledge”.

And there are quite a few results.

Zhu Biao directly proposed that the world is composed of “qi” to interpret some manifestations of this world.

After Song Lian and Zhu Biao did a lot of small experiments, Song Lian took this as a guideline.

One day, after Song Lian finished teaching Zhu Biao, he went directly to Zhu Yuanzhang’s study to ask for Zhu Yuanzhang.

“Mr. Song came to us, is there something wrong?”

For Song Lian to come to find himself, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little confused.

Today is not the time for him to report to us on Biao’er’s learning, is it not that Biao’er made a mistake?

“Back to Wu Guogong, Shizi’s talent in literature made Weichen shameful. Now that Weichen alone has no way to teach Shizi, Weichen asked Wu Guogong to invite Liu Ji, Zhang Yi, Ye Chen and other great sages to teach Gongzi together. ”

As soon as Song Lian finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious.

“Mr. Song, what mistake did Biao’er make that made you angry?”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s first reaction was that his son had made some big mistake, and Song Lian was unwilling to teach it.

As for the fact that there is no way to teach, it is just a prevarication.

Song Lian smiled bitterly.

“Wu Guogong said and smiled, Weichen really didn’t shirk, Weichen really can’t teach the son of the world.”

Song Lian thought for a while, and then added.

“The son of the world is worthy of being born with a vision, the golden dragon celebrates, the talent of the son of the world, I am afraid that Kong Meng is only so in the world.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was already stunned.

Looking at Song Lian like this, it doesn’t look like a shirk, our standard can compare with Shangkong Meng in the world?

Our old Zhu family has not produced a single reader in their eight lifetimes.

Is our son Kong Meng alive?

Mr. Song said and smiled.

“Wu Guogong, Weichen really didn’t laugh. Wei Chen said humbly, Wei Chen has always felt that he is also a great Confucian in the world, Wei Chen has also been called a genius since he was a child, but compared with the son of the world, Wei Chen is a genius, Wei Chen’s ability is insignificant! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Song Lian’s words, and his heart suddenly blossomed.

Our son, who is seven years old this year, was called Kong Meng by the contemporary Great Confucian.

Hey, our son has inherited our good genes.

If we have such good conditions as our son since childhood, we are also Kong Meng alive!

“In that case, let’s write to the person recommended by Mr. Song to assist Mr. Song in teaching Biao’er together.”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately wrote to Liu Ji, Zhang Yi, and Ye Chen, asking them to come to Yingtian to teach his son Zhu Biao to study.

Zhang Yi and Ye Chen, the two great Confucians, quickly accepted the invitation and came to Yingtiancheng to teach Zhu Biao his studies.

Only Liu Ji of Qingtian refused to agree.

Liu Ji, the character Bowen, in the eyes of later generations, is a figure comparable to Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, and has the reputation of “Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, Unified Jiangshan Liu Bowen”.

Although the current Liu Bowen did not have as much fame as the later life, he was a scholar of the Yuan court at the age of twenty-three.

In terms of the ability to govern, he served as the governor of Gao’an County in the western part of the Dayuan River for five years, and governed Gao’an County without leaving the house closed at night.

Regarding Wuluo, he once served as the capital of the Marshal of Dayuanjiang and Zhejiang Province, helping the Yuan court attack the rebel army Guozhen. Fang Guozhen repeatedly suffered big losses at Liu Ji’s hands, hating Liu Bowen so much that he itched the roots of his teeth.

Literary talent, martial strategy, and ability to govern are all the best choices, and Zhu Yuanzhang is of course also courteous to Liu Ji.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang sent an official named Sun Yan with him to hire Liu Bowen as Zhu Biao’s teacher.

When Liu Bowen was the Cheng of Gao’an County, Jiangxi Province of Dayuan, it was only sixty stones of Lumi, thirty pounds of banknotes, and about forty taels of silver when converted into silver.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s meeting gift to Liu Bowen is equivalent to Liu Bowen’s salary for nearly thirty years of working for the Dayuan Imperial Court, is it rich enough?

Sun Yan is not only the Zhizhou of Huayang Prefecture under Zhu Yuanzhang, but also a famous man in the world, such a person is enough to give Liu Bowen face, right?

However, although Liu Bowen was idle at home because he was not used by the Yuan Dynasty, he firmly refused Zhu Yuanzhang’s offer.
