Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1691 Appearance Theory

   When Fei Qian heard that Zheng Xuan had arrived, he couldn't help but feel a little more emotional. This feeling is not about Zheng Xuan, but something that Zheng Xuan represents.

  In the history of China, there are many cultural people who have become the backbone of China. Their persistence and spiritual outlook have been sung by later generations, but there are also many cultural people whose words and deeds are despised by others.

  In the final analysis, cultural people are no different from ordinary people, and they all have human nature, so naturally there will be brave, timid, loyal, and selfish.

As for the various senses of superiority among cultural people, it is actually the same as the behavior of insiders in some industries making fun of outsiders, except that people in other industries may rely on artifacts, and in knowledge In this aspect, it relies on its own academics.

   Self-healing and private goods are not unique to the cultural industry. This phenomenon also occurs in many industries, just like the insurance industry in later generations. How long has it been since the sunrise industry and the golden decade? Therefore, only when one's position is higher and one's vision is wider, many things, many things, will not be affected by the words of some people in front of you, will not be deceived, and will be able to have your own understanding and judgment.

  It is a terrible thing that people say what they say.

   And Zheng Xuan is almost an important identification point in Eastern Han literature. Undoubtedly, Zheng Xuan is naturally richer than Fei Qian in terms of knowledge, but in terms of world outlook and epistemology, Fei Qian has his own unique advantages due to later generations. He does not worship blindly, does not follow in a daze, has independent thinking ability and Judgment is what makes Fei Qian's performance different from that of ordinary Confucian scholars and sons of gentry in the Han Dynasty.

Good Mr. Sima Hui heard that Zheng Xuan was coming. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was actually very worried. Knowing that Fei Qian was going to visit Zheng Xuan, he hurriedly volunteered to follow him. In fact, he was naturally worried about the advantage he had finally created. , was abducted by Zheng Xuan with a few words.

Literati look down on each other, well, strictly speaking, people in the same industry look down on each other, but there are two types of friends in the industry, one is to belittle the other party desperately, and then even drags oneself into the water, and the other is to praise the other party. Higher than the opponent, and then said that he is better than the opponent.

  Fei submerged with a strange interest, took aim at Sima Hui, wondering which way Sima Hui would choose now?

  Scholars in the current Han Dynasty are very contradictory. They admire ancient studies, long for breakthroughs, pursue inner spiritual aspects, and also pay attention to purely material things, especially at the moment, Fei Qian feels that it can be said to be a very important node in Chinese literature...

  Many things, due to the reason of hindsight, so Fei Qian can naturally see farther and deeper than Sima Hui, than Zheng Xuan, and even than all the current people. From the perspective of the entire history, if you pull it high enough, you will find that the development of Chinese culture and literature actually spirals up from the bottom, slightly thinner at the bottom, thicker at the top, and diverges, like a spring. Also like a spiral nebula.

For example, in poetry, from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, those awkward words in the Book of Songs were not deliberately used by poets at that time, but normal words at that time, just like "guan" Guan" is also very straightforward, just like vernacular poetry, but in the Han Dynasty, it gradually began to change, and the five-character style became the current trend, while Liu Bang's three-axe style of poetry was slowly withdrawing from the cultural circle.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, metrical poetry became the mainstream, and even various rhymes and flat formats and requirements appeared. In Song Ci, the format was destroyed, and it was called long and short sentences. In Yuanqu, it was a further breakthrough and Development, and later in the Ming Dynasty, it diverged even more. As for the Qing Dynasty, uh, it diverged so much that the Eight-Power Allied Forces came.

On the whole, the Han Dynasty, it can be said that it is now the restrictive direction of the development of the entire Chinese culture was established at this point in time, and the subsequent Chinese literature lasted for more than a thousand years, even if it diverged, it did not break away from this direction. The scope of the constraints...

  Zheng Xuan's disciple Xi Xi and others greeted him from a distance outside the post house. Fei Qian stepped forward to greet him, and after exchanging a few words of greeting, he went to the post house under the guidance of Xi Xi and others.

Although there are pu carts along the way, it is not an easy task for Zheng Xuan's age. After arriving in Pingyang, it took two days of repairing before he was relieved. Now he seems to be in good spirits Yes, I was standing at the gate of the post house, and when I saw Fei Qian, I was ready to meet him, but was stopped by Fei Qian, saying that I came in to meet the great Confucianism after the end of school, which can be regarded as giving Zheng Xuan enough face, and I won the mutual humility at the gate of the post house After a lot of praise, he entered the gate and isolated the people who eat melons.

  Fei Qian found it very interesting.

  Zheng Xuan seemed to be blinded by old age, he only talked with Fei Qian, and turned a blind eye to Sima Hui who followed him in. Sima Hui didn't come forward to say hello, but just stood aside with a slight smile.

  As for Zheng Xuan's disciples like Xi Ji, who seem to recognize Sima Hui, some of them have not concealed themselves, and even glared at Sima Hui...

   It seems that there are some good shows to watch.

Fei Qian thought maliciously, and when they reached the main hall, they gave in to each other again, and then Fei Qian pulled Zheng Xuan to sit on the top, and made it to one side, while Sima Hui was not polite, and went straight to the other side He sat down in the guest seat, laughed twice, and said: "Well, Zheng Gong is as healthy as ever, gratifying, gratifying!"

   Fei Qian smiled slightly: "Are you two old acquaintances?" Why does Sima Hui's "gratifying" sound a bit like "a pity"? Or was it originally a "pity", but Fei Qian heard it became "gratifying"?

   "Hehe..." Zheng Xuan seemed to see Sima Hui at this moment, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Shui Jing, are you all right?"

  噫, what you said is really interesting.

  Fei Qian really regrets that he didn't ask those melon-eating people around the post house to ask for a melon...

   These two old men, have you torn up "beep" before...

Sima Hui didn't hide it either, and said to Fei Qian: "I want to report to Huqi, the old man and Kang Cheng are also old friends. There were arguments, each had their own opinions, and they broke up because of disagreements..." Turning his head to Zheng Xuan, he said , "Now that the hussars are in front of you, you can see the old man's theory and even the reasoning. I wonder if Kang Cheng obeys it?"

Zheng Xuan also first bowed his hands to Fei Qian and said: "I made the hussars laugh..." Then he turned his head and **** Sima Hui, "You are a fallacy, the way of a master can be taught without distinction, how can we judge it on the face of it? !"

  Sima Hui expresses disdain (ˉ▽￣～) cut~~

Zheng Xuan explained to Fei Qian: "Mr. Shui Jing advocated the theory of Wang Zhongren, saying that high and low, rich and poor, are all fixed numbers, and conduct is clear and turbid. Human life is shaped by the outside, and the bones are formed by the body. , you can know the fate of a person... Isn’t this absurd? People have hundreds of faces and thousands of bones, how can they be generalized?”

Sima Hui shook his head and said: "The law of joints and the principle of skin are the appearance of life, just like the seeds of all things, and the permanence of trees! If you look at the appearance of trees, you can know the time of day, and the state of the bones and skin, you can know the theory of numerology." What's wrong with that?"

   "Hehe..." Zheng Xuan shook his head and said, "When you work in your hometown, you have a sun-baked state. When you fight on the battlefield, you have the appearance of wind and sand. It doesn't have bones and skin in the front, but the location is different. How can we say otherwise?"

"No, no!" Sima Hui said, "When I first saw hussars, I felt that they were extraordinary, because they were hidden and noble, and they had a magnanimity, so I bestowed the title 'Yin Kun' on hussars. Now...hehe, Doesn't it prove the old man's method of observing bones? Besides..."

  Fei sneaked a glance at Sima Hui, oh, it turned out to be like this, a certain relationship is here as a voucher for you?

  In recommending talents in the Han Dynasty, many officials may not be able to know the county and county talents under their hands, but the annual performance task must always be completed, so the so-called appearance appreciation has naturally become a standard for assessment. If it looks really badass, it will naturally not have any good comments.

  Although Sima Hui was arguing endlessly with Zheng Xuan, Fei Qian's thinking was somewhat divergent. It seemed that some mysteries in history had been solved in this way...

Appreciating talents, except for the Yuedan review that was overturned by Cao Cao, Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui is considered to be a more outstanding representative in the future. There are also some Sima conspiracy theories in later generations, but now it seems that, in addition to the outlook on life that some normal gentry families will have that is biased towards their own family interests, Mr. Sima Hui's method of judging by observing people's bones may be It was also the reason why he recommended talents to Liu Bei at that time.

Of course, from a certain point of view, in fact, Sima Hui may not be so sure of the correctness of this root method deep in his heart, so he did not post it himself, but recommended Kong Ming, and did not let the Sima family Some of the nephews of his family were concerned about Jing Xiang's problem, but among them, Sima Hui might not have some uncertainties in his heart...

   Having said that, it is indeed more advantageous to have a good appearance. This is true no matter whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, but judging people by their appearance is not very suitable for advocacy.

Seeing the two old men quarreling more and more fiercely, as if Fei Qian was thrown aside, Fei Qian felt a little angry and funny, and coughed twice, indicating that labor and management are still sitting here, you both fight for a hammer Oh...Fei Qian can understand Sima Hui's intentions, but now Sima Hui seems to have gone too far. It seems that he needs to give Sima Hui a little warning before he gets into trouble with Zheng Xuan...

  Sima Hui received the signal and apologized to Fei Qiangong. After all, now it is basically tantamount to working lowly under the big boss Fei Qian, and when he turns his face and gets excited, he puts the big boss aside and goes on his own, which is a bit inappropriate to say the least.

   Zheng Xuan was also a little embarrassed, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry..."

   "It's okay, it's okay..." Fei Qian laughed and said, "As the saying goes, academic disputes are common, so you don't have to worry about it... But today's dispute is a bit shallow..."

   Zheng Xuan said: "The old man is all ears."

  Sima Hui also said: "Please give me advice from the hussars."

Although it is said that Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui can beat Feiqian by more than a dozen streets in terms of Confucianism articles, poems and songs, but Feiqian now has the blessing of the halo of the big Han Hussar General, and he is in charge of a huge territory. You can't take it lightly, and you can't treat Fei Qian as just a kid who is behind in his studies.

"Heaven has yin and yang, and water has three states, so it can be said that one does not care about the rest?" Fei Qian said, "Mr. Shui Jing has a good way of observing people. He uses bones and skins to see the big things in the subtleties. It is also recommended by the police. One way is also..."

  Sima Hui smiled slightly, nodded, and stroked his beard.

"...However, there are many mediocre people in the world, and there are even more officials. If Mr. Shui Jing's method is established, if it is used in counties and counties, it may be lost in the hands of moths. Judging people by their appearance will lose their original intentions and bury talents..." Fei Qian said sharply Turn around, "If people are judged by appearance, the master was born on the top of the polder, so he was named Qiu Yun... Isn't it, hehehe..."

In the portraits of later generations, Confucius seems to look graceful and luxurious, with long eyebrows and long beard, wide robe and sleeves, and looks like a fairy, but in fact, does Confucius look like... Quite characteristic, it is recorded in "Historical Records" that Confucius " He was born with his head on the top of the polder, so he was named Qiuyun. His name is Zhongni, and his surname is Kong." In other words, the reason why Confucius was named Qiu and styled Zhongni was because he was "born with his head on the top of the polder", that is, he got his name from his physiological characteristics after birth.

  Many people in later generations felt that Sima Qian was slandering Confucius, saying that Sima Qian was a natural black man of Confucius, but in fact, judging from the overall historical records and the time period when the historical records were written, Sima Qian should not deliberately vilify Confucius. After all, Sima Qian was educated by Kong Anguo and Dong Zhongshu in his early years, so he was also of Confucian origin. In addition, Sima Qian's corruption had nothing to do with Confucianism, but because Li Ling's affairs were implicated, so Sima Qian would not vent his anger on Confucius. body, so basically speaking, the description in the historical records has relatively high credibility.

  So the appearance of Confucius in history...

  Anyway, it is not as ideal as after the myths of later generations.

  Of course, what the other person described is a little bit of that. According to "Xunzi", Zhongni looks like a hooded face. Is this monstrous...

  So Feiqian made this remark, Zheng Xuan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right!"

Sima Hui was still a little stubborn and refused to admit defeat, because it meant that his previous theories would be in vain, so he argued: "Confucius was born different, and it is inherently extraordinary, just like Chonger and different pupils. Zhao Zhengfeng's quasi-long-eyed...all the same!"

  Everyone is familiar with Chonger, and Zhao Zheng, also named Zhao Zheng, is Qin Shihuang. It is said that this guy is also different. Lieutenant Liao, who worked under Qin Shihuang for a period of time, said that King Qin was a man with accurate bee, long eyes, chirping of birds, sound of jackals, little kindness but heart of tigers and wolves...

Fei Qian laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Shui Jing, King Chonger Qin is very human, so I have no objection, but if we weigh it... I'm afraid it's... if it's not like this, sit down for a while, and a certain person will come when he goes. I know..."
