Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1721 Seeking truth and truth

  The book "Yu Gong" talks about Yu's farewell to Kyushu. Many people think that it was after Dayu established the land in ancient times that he distinguished China and Kyushu. Of course, in the entire article of "Yu Gong", most of them still talk about how to distinguish mountains and rivers and how to govern them. The proportion is relatively small.

  The so-called theory of Kyushu first appeared in the book "Yu Gong", so it can be called a book with cross-age significance, which gave the Chinese nation a roughly overall concept of the whole world for the first time.

Such a book, in the Han Dynasty, the vast majority of people believed that "Yu Gong" was written by Xia Dynasty historians, even Dayu himself, and it was a book that recorded the words and deeds of sages, just like "The Analects" Similarly, it represents Dayu's will and spirit, so Li Huang used "Yu Gong" as an example before, saying that if he understands "Yu Gong", he will know how to manage mountains and rivers.

Although Li Huang's theory is somewhat one-sided, it also represents the views of most people. Therefore, when Sima Hui said that "Yu Gong" was not written by Dayu at all, or that it was recorded by Xia Dynasty historians, it was borrowed by later generations. When Dayu's name was faked, there was naturally an uproar. Immediately, they couldn't help but whispered to each other. Some people even stood up and angrily accused Sima Hui of disrespecting the saint...

  Sima Hui smiled without fear.

  If it were in other places, Sima Hui would be more or less worried that something would happen under the anger of the crowd, but now on the site of Hussar General Fei Qian, his own safety is naturally guaranteed. Sure enough, there was no need for Sima Hui to issue special orders, and the soldiers maintaining order on the sidelines immediately shouted in deep voices, controlling the chaotic scene.

After everyone became quieter, Sima Hui said with a slight smile: "Everyone! Listen to a certain Tao... Fang has a saying. The river overflows into Xing; it flows from Taoqiu to the north in the east, reaches He in the east, and goes northeast to Wen, and flows north to the sea in the east. Is that true?"

   "So what?" Li Huang looked around and found that because of what Sima Hui said just now, some people also stood up like him, so he couldn't help being a little more courageous, and replied loudly.

"This is the proof of the old man's words! You need to know that Heshui did not exist in ancient times, but Wu Fuchai for twelve years. In order to compete with Jin for hegemony, communicate with Siji, and then flow into the river from Jishui! "Guoyu" There is a record in the book that "the Que is a deep ditch, connected to the fields of Shang and Lu"! It was formed by the He River, and the King of Wu led his troops to follow Si to the north, enter He from Si, and then enter Ji from He, and arrived at Huangchimeng and Jinye!" Sima Sima Hui Lang said in a loud voice, "When the husband was the great Yu, you can especially know what the king of Wu did? Gaiyin, because the person who wrote "Yu Gong" forgot the reason because of the long history of Heshui! Mountains and rivers are even more clear, and you can read them like palm prints, but why do you pretend to be in the name of Dayu? I want to use the name of a sage to sing to everyone!"

  Li Huang was dumb for a while, and choked out a sentence: "You know that there was no Heshui in the time of Dayu? If Wu Wang just excavated the silt and rebuilt the river..."

Sima Hui smiled, ignored Li Huang's strong arguments, and did not explain, as if he had not seen Li Huang, and continued: "It is necessary to know that there are many ancient prose in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, especially bronze inscriptions, so few people know about them. Also. Today’s text is written in Li, Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor Guangwu have the world in mind, and he wants to make China more prosperous. Compared with Jin and Li, naturally Li wins it, and it is more beneficial to teach. Therefore, it is established in palace studies, which is not inaccurate as ancient writings do!”

  Whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu thought so, no one knows, it may be, or it may not be, anyway, Sima Hui said so now, believe it or not...

  But it cannot but be denied that what Sima Hui said does have some truth. Jinwen is indeed easier to teach and learn than ancient Chinese. This is the advantage of Jinwen, otherwise there would not be so many people learning Jinwen Confucianism.

"But how can a person who is studying learn to retreat after knowing the difficulty!" Sima Hui's voice resounded and he waved his arms. , not to discuss the beauty of ancient prose, nor to discuss the harm of modern prose, but to discuss the correct way of students!"

Sima Hui continued to speak loudly: "The way to learn is to seek the truth! Only when the truth of tomorrow and the earth can we know the sun, the moon, the wind and the cloud, and the truth of the world, can we know the warmth and coldness of human feelings! This is the way, the human heart is only in danger, and the Dao heart is only weak; There is only one essence, and you are allowed to stick to it! Wanting a false name, pretending to be a sage, and interpreting misleading annotations are actually harmful but not beneficial! Arrogant, arrogant, only know the shape, do not seek the truth, do not enter the right way, how can it be pointed out? Is it true that a dove is a chicken and a stag is a horse? It’s sad and lamentable, and it’s also ridiculous! When we study, we should avoid falsehoods and seek the truth, and deceitfully seek the right! This is the way of learning!”

   "Wow..."

  Sima Hui's statement of "seeking the truth" was like a thunderclap, driving everyone on the square to start discussing. In fact, the debate and confrontation between the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures is not caused by Sima Hui alone, nor is it the current period of time, but has existed from the very beginning. The two factions have their own supporters, and they used to argue like the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were dark...

At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, many classics were lost due to the burning of books. Most of the scriptures handed down to the Han Dynasty were rescued from the mouths of scholars who could recite and teach the full text. Therefore, in terms of inheritance of classics, Jinwen The contribution of Confucian classics cannot be erased.

  But it cannot be said that this is a stupid thing done by Qin Chao, but because Qin Dynasty is indeed too short, and Qin Shihuang may have follow-up means and strategies for many things, but it is too late to continue.

The countries of the Warring States are independent, whether it is coins, standards, or characters, they are all different. If there is no act of Qin Shihuang to unify the text, there will be no foundation for the unification of China. It is precisely because of the burning of books in the Qin Dynasty and the reconstruction of the Han Dynasty. Culture is like a phoenix in its nirvana, rising from the ruins to be more splendid.

However, Jinwen Confucianism has developed from the early Han Dynasty to the present, because the inheritance of each school and school is different, the annotations are different, and even the scriptures themselves are different, resulting in the same classic. Because of the different texts, many schools will evolve. And it is impossible to compromise among these schools. In the period of Emperor Han Heng and Emperor Ling, some families even bribed the Tai Xue to help their children get a better ranking in the Tai Xue and obtain a higher starting point. Doctor, let him use his own scriptures as a model instead of someone else's...

In addition, in the study of Jinwen Confucianism, many of them are trivial words and righteousness and saintly thoughts added by later people, but it is impossible to explain them completely. After all, the more details are more likely to cause problems, just like some hexagrams. Ah, the twelve constellations are the same. Of course, it is impossible to specify a certain event on a certain day. The text is more popular, but it makes it more difficult for later people to understand, which completely violates the original intention of the first development of Jinwen Confucianism.

  Even though there are these problems, it is obviously impossible to kill all Jinwen Confucianism at once. Originally Sima Hui hated Jinwen Confucianism very much, but during this period of time in Pingyang, Sima Hui also figured it out, or learned from Hussar General Fei Qian that not everything is either one or the other. It's either black or white. To expose the disadvantages of Jinwen Confucianism, there is not just one way to completely beat it.

In this dynasty, Jinwen Confucianism is the main body of official academics. Whether it is Chang’an in the Western Han Dynasty or Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, whether it is Taixue or the official schools established in prefectures and counties, the Confucianism taught is Jinwen Confucianism. Therefore, in In the face of such a huge group, if one said that the Jinwenjing would be abolished and the Guwenjing would be promoted again, it would undoubtedly encounter great resistance, and it might even be extinguished by the outrageous opposition from the very beginning.

But at the same time, because the promotion of Jinwen Confucianism is getting bigger and bigger, not all the problems in Jinwen Confucianism are not seen by people. Although some people are still teaching and learning Jinwen Confucianism, it does not mean They fully agree with these absurd parts of Jinwen Confucianism, but they are just messing around, or just following the trend, and now Sima Hui's idea of ​​"regardless of ancient and modern, but seeking the truth" is undoubtedly for these people. Man offers a whole new direction.

  Sima Hui smiled slightly, then got up and nodded, and then got off the podium. In the square below the stage, most people were already engaged in mutual discussions and debates, and few even noticed that Sima Hui had finished his speech.

Li Huang still wanted to say something, but his voice was drowned out by the sound of discussion and debate in the square. No one paid attention to him anymore, and no one listened to what he had to say, not even the one next to him. The children of the gentry quietly avoided some, as if if they got closer to Li Huang, they would be infected with some stupidity or disease...

   "Wo...you, you..."

  Li Huang was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and finally flung his sleeves and ran out, but he didn't know whether it was because he was not careful, or someone stretched his legs on purpose, he tripped halfway, and fell down with a scream.

   "Is this a flying dove, is this a flying chicken?" someone shouted.

   "Brother Tai doesn't know something, this is a self-proclaimed turtledove, but it can't fly, so it has to land like a chicken!"

"a ha ha ha…"

  Li Huang didn't dare to talk back, and could only run away amidst the laughter.

The discussion on the square did not stop because of Li Huang. Some people even heard about it and came to join the debate and discussion. They didn't stop even at night. Later, Pang Tong had to send someone to prepare some food. Come to the square with water, so that there will be no incidents of dehydration and coma caused by obsessed with seminars...

  …ヽ（=ˇωˇ=）…

  Sima Hui's face was slightly red, as if he had drunk a jar of old wine, a little stupefied.

"Mr. Shui Jing's theory of 'seeking the truth' is so loud that it shakes the sky..." Zheng Xuanlue put on a look of envy, and cupped his hands and said, "Seek the truth from the false, seek the truth from the false! It has been passed down for thousands of years! Mr. Shui Jing's actions are no less than founding a school, and the merits will last forever!"

Sima Hui coughed a few times, trying to cover up his complacency, but he couldn't hold it back after all, and couldn't help laughing a few times, but he wasn't completely dizzy after all. After laughing, he explained to Zheng Xuan: "This is not true. As for the merits of a certain person, if the general Hussars did not mention it, he might not be able to come up with this theory..."

   "General Hussars?" Zheng Xuan asked.

Sima Hui smiled, nodded, twirled his beard and said: "At the beginning of Yanping, General Hushi had passed down the literature for many generations, and made corrections in his words. He ordered Linghu to sacrifice wine at the Shoushan Academy, and Dr. Cai re-edited the classics. Checking out the fallacy... old man, old man just happened to be at the right time..."

"Ah..." Zheng Xuan sighed slightly, "Mr. Shui Jing is too modest!" Although he said so, Zheng Xuan also believed that what Sima Hui said must be true. After all, this kind of thing can't be faked, but... just If I had come to Pingyang earlier, wouldn't it be...

   Over the years, Zheng Xuan has also been thinking about these things. During his imprisonment by the party, wasn't he also doing this kind of work of eliminating falsehoods and seeking truth, and falsely seeking truth in the annotations of various Confucian classics? It's just that he was not able, or had no chance, like Sima Hui, to specifically refine such a concept and then make it public.

   If it is said that Zheng Xuan has no envy and hatred in his heart, it must be false, but the problem is that it happened to be the time when Yuan Shao was in full swing, how could he come to Pingyang?

   It can only be said to be a personal chance...

   But, it’s not too late now. The first bite of meat was eaten by Sima Hui, but relying on his solid foundation, he may not be able to grab the follow-up meat to eat, no matter how bad he is, he can get a full meal without any problem...

"Mr. Shui Jing, Dr. Cai just said... I don't know who is it?" Zheng Xuan has naturally seen Linghu Shao, the grand priest of the academy, but Cai Yan, who was "retreating" at the time, so not only Fei Qian didn't see him , Zheng Xuan naturally had no contact, and of course he didn't have any impression.

  Sima Hui coughed, and said, "It's Cai Zhonglang, the daughter of Cai Bojie... This woman has a strong record of blog writing, extraordinary talent and learning, and I'm not as good as you... Zheng Gong knows that "Cai's Thousand-Character Essay" was written by her..."

  Zheng Xuan was surprised and said, ""Cai's Thousand-Character Essay"? Isn't it written by Cai Zhonglang?"

Because "Cai's Thousand-Character Essay" is not only well-organized and well-organized, but also brilliant and catchy. What's more, knowing these thousand-character characters is not only an understanding of most of the Chinese characters in daily life, He also has a little understanding of some natural geography, worldly allusions, and handling of affairs, so once it was released, it became an enlightenment reading for almost all the children of the gentry. Replaced with this "Cai's Thousand-Character Essay"...

  Sima Hui nodded, and suddenly a strange idea popped up in his mind. Could it be that this "Cai's Thousand-Character Essay" has something to do with General Hushi?

  In that case, wouldn’t it be…

   Salute to all retrogrades!

   Salute to all the heroes who died!

   It’s true that I’ve been busy recently, it’s not that I forgot to owe my debts, if you don’t believe me, you can look at my face, (=serious=)…

   Having said that, the author Huan really thinks that there are many things that can be done in the Three Kingdoms, and the key is that no one has done it yet. Thinking about it is a bit exciting...

   It's not the kind of stimulation of the emperor's uncle, which can be done by any dynasty, why go to the Three Kingdoms?

Right?

   Recently, the operation officer came to me with complaints, saying that no one in the circle checked in. I am really ashamed of the operation officer. Here, everyone can go to the circle to poke, thank you very much!
