People's concepts always change with time, but one thing is the same, there must be a process of self-understanding and self-intake.
It's like a political power.
The Western Han Dynasty was established not long ago. Since the Pre-Qin Dynasty did not last long at all, it can be said that from the Warring States Period to the early Western Han Dynasty, China basically spent time in war. Therefore, both the upper ruling class and the lower class people need a person.
A stable social environment was needed to develop and restore production and life. Therefore, the previous emperors in the early Han Dynasty basically adopted the techniques of Huang and Lao, cultivating one's health and nature, and governing by doing nothing.
Well, the above is basically the initial impression that Fei Qian had in his mind.
But what about the actual situation?
Just like the art of slaying dragons is never taught lightly, many things are not written directly in black and white in books.
In the early Han Dynasty, there was actually another very important reason why Huang Lao Shu was adopted. As the emperor, Liu Bang's power at that time only covered the Guanzhong area. He could not control the areas further away, so he could only be generous and let each place do it on their own.
Huang Lao".
However, Liu Bang was not a generous person, he was just a gangster.
Otherwise, after seeing that the society was a little more stable, Liu Bang started killing heroes just for fun? Although it is stated in history that it was Empress Lu who did it, but in fact, without Liu Bang's instruction, Empress Lu would really have such a big influence
Energy hands-on? Like...
Forget it, it will be a 404 if I say so.
From ancient times to the present, it has always been like this.
The Qin Dynasty implemented the system of prefectures and counties, and the whole country rebelled. Eight years later, the early Han Dynasty implemented the system of prefectures and counties again, and the world was no longer able to rebel. However, at the same time, the system of prefectures and counties in the Han Dynasty was not as strict as that of the Qin Dynasty.
In other words, it is a system of mutual compromise. The central government retains certain authority, but local governments also have very large rights.
The central and local governments, the imperial power and the prime minister's power, have always competed and compromised with each other. If the adjustment is good, there will be no need to say anything. If the adjustment is not good, even in the era of convenient and smooth transportation and information in later generations, there will still be chaos.
Within Confucianism, it is actually the same.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are interests. Where there are interests, there are bound to be disputes. And Confucian disciples are also human beings. Although these Confucian disciples talk about pursuing saints every day, in fact, they are not like ordinary people behind the curtain.
No difference.
Sima Hui is also a human being. Even though he has a great reputation, he cannot transcend the category of human beings. Therefore, when Sima Hui came to visit, Fei Qian felt that Sima Hui was eyeing Shoushan Academy.
The cross-dressing boss invited Fei Qian again this time, and he was more respectful and well-behaved. He didn't show any irritation at all. His strict etiquette was in place, just like a good baby. It can be seen that it determines whether a naughty child can be naughty or not.
The most important thing is whether there are any relevant benefits.
Naughty kid, no, the cross-dressing man is obedient now, sitting quietly on one side, personally cooking tea soup for Sima Hui and Fei Qian. Although Fei Qian may not be able to drink it, but seeing such a scene, I don’t know
Why do I feel a little secretly happy in my heart?
If you really put on women's clothes...
Cough cough, cough cough.
"Okay, I wonder how the Five Classics will be arranged in Ziyuan Academy?" Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, said this time almost clearly. I don't know if he felt unwilling to go around the bush with Fei Qian, or if he felt it was unnecessary.
Fei Qian's racing thoughts returned to the topic.
What are the Five Classics?
If it were in later generations, there might still be a lot of people staring at each other and trying to get away with it, but in the Han Dynasty, if a nobleman didn't know what the Five Classics were, he really should draw his sword and kill himself.
"In the Shoushan Academy, the Five Classics are not divided into different sizes." Fei Qian smiled, he had somewhat guessed what Sima Hui meant.
"Okay..." Sima Hui said half-way through his usual habit, but frowned and said, "Even if there is no big or small, there should always be a sequence."
"There is no order of precedence." Fei Qian told the truth.
Sima Hui's face suddenly tightened, then he relaxed helplessly and said slowly: "The Five Classics are of great importance, how can there be no order of precedence?"
Fei Qian shook his head and said: "There is a priority when you hear the Tao. What about scriptures? Why should there be a priority?"
"There is a sequence of hearing the Tao?" Sima Hui repeated in a murmur, "There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, but there is no sequence of the scriptures? This... um..."
Fei Qian looked at Sima Hui with some doubts. Isn't this a very common saying? Oh, by the way, whoever said this in history is still unknown...
Sima Hui emphasized the Five Classics, which is actually a big difference between modern texts and ancient texts.
The Jinwen Jing, orally written in the Han Dynasty, was written in official script, and is called the Jinwen. And those early scriptures, written in seal scripts of various kinds of flowers and birds, which were earlier than the Han Dynasty, are the Ancient Wenjing. Among the Jinwen Jing,
The ranking of these Five Classics is very particular.
Chinese people are accustomed to ranking, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Nine Heavens and Eighteen Hells, which has greatly affected future generations. Although there may not be so-called superstitions, there are still various small circles, small rankings, and even actors in the entertainment industry have to perform rankings.
One brother, two sisters, three fresh meats and so on...
So Sima Hui was quite serious when talking about the ranking of the Five Classics.
But Fei Qian felt it was completely unnecessary.
For Confucian disciples who admire modern classics, the Five Classics are as follows: Poems, Books, Rites, Yi, and Spring and Autumn Period.
For the Confucian disciples who emphasize ancient classics, the Five Classics are as follows: Yi, Shu, Shi, Rites, and Spring and Autumn.
Perhaps in the eyes of people who don't know much about it, what's the difference? It's like the suit of playing cards. The one on the far left is usually a heart or a spade. Aren't they all the same?
But in fact, among Confucian disciples, especially in the Han Dynasty, this ranking is very important, a matter of no small importance, and a matter of life and death.
Those who advocate Jinwen Jingxue believe that Confucius is the "King of Vegetarians", which of course does not mean that Confucius likes to be vegetarian (note in this chapter). So for Jinwen Jingxue, the Five Classics are the evidence for Confucius to expound the subtle meanings. Poems, books, and rituals are Su.
The king's political etiquette and education content are specific, while the Yi and the Spring and Autumn Period are the subtleties of Confucius' thoughts. The Book of Songs is placed first because the Book of Songs is the simplest, and the Yi Jing is at the back because the Yi Jing is very mysterious and profound.
, and the Spring and Autumn Period compiled by Confucius is at the end, which means that Confucius is more profound and mysterious than the ancient emperors.
People who study ancient classics are used to arranging the time when the scriptures were written. The Book of Changes was written in the ancient times of Fuxi, so it is naturally the first. The book begins with the "Yao Dian", so secondly, the earliest Book of Songs is Shang Song,
It is later than Yao and Shun, ranking third. The Book of Rites mainly talks about the Zhou Gong period, so the fourth, Spring and Autumn Period is actually the history of Lu, which was revised by Confucius, ranked last.
So the Spring and Autumn Annals are also ranked last, but because they are arranged differently in the front, the meanings are completely different. The Jinwen Jingshu says that Confucius is the "Su King", while the Guwen Jings says that Confucius is the "Shu'er" who organized books.
They are just scholars who do not write, but believe in the past.”
Because of this so-called "Five Classics" or "Inverted Five Classics" status, in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, people almost beat out dogs' heads...
It can be seen that people really can't be idle. When fighting against the pre-Qin Dynasty, nothing happened. But after decades or hundreds of years of leisure, nothing will happen.
Sima Hui didn't know the relationship between the things that were running around in Fei Qian's head, but he knew that Fei Qian must have generally understood the competition between modern and ancient texts, and had his own ideas and strategies, so he
He cast his eyes over and said, "Since Ziyuan has a final conclusion on the Five Classics, I might as well give him some advice."
Fei Qian waved his hand, modesty is still required.
However, judging from the results, in fact, modern texts and ancient texts compete, and the order of the Five Classics in later generations has already given the answer. After all, the ancient texts are difficult to pronounce and obscure, and modern texts can be mixed with personal information. Who doesn't like it? But the problem is one side
Mixing private goods, while mounting the Patriarch high, indicating that he is following the Patriarch's tradition and mixing private goods...
If Confucius really had a spirit under the spring, the coffin board would definitely not be able to cover it.
Sima Hui smiled again and said that he let Fei Qian talk as he pleased. It was just a casual conversation, why should he be restrained? Fei Qian then said: "The beauty of the scriptures is not in the front and back, but in its principles; the dignity of Confucius is not in its appearance but in its appearance."
Tao."
This is vernacular, and it is correct wherever it is put, so Sima Hui did not answer the words, but just nodded and motioned for Fei Qian to continue.
"...Therefore, in the Shoushan Academy, regardless of the present or the past, only the teachings are discussed..." Fei Qian picked up the tea soup that Sima Yi brought over, looked at the turbid color inside, smelled it, um, let's forget it.
I stopped drinking. I wonder if the ladies’ man has added any weird ingredients.
The cross-dressing man lowered his head, revealing a section of his elegant neck, and sat on his knees, motionless.
Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, didn't notice Fei Qian's actions at all. He was now focusing all his attention on what Fei Qian had just said: "Teacher's way?"
"...Respecting teachers is important..." Fei Qian paused and said a little shamelessly, "...Scholars in ancient times must have teachers. Teachers, so they should preach and learn karma to solve doubts..."
Mr. Shui Jing kept nodding and shaking his head in agreement, and even the cross-dressing boss trying to pretend it didn't exist couldn't help but raise his head and stare at Fei Qian.
"...The sage Impermanence taught Confucius his teachers Tanzi, Changhong, Xiang, and Laodan. Tanzi's disciples were not as wise as Confucius. Confucius said: If three people are walking together, there must be my teacher. Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher.
A teacher does not need to be more virtuous than his disciples, there is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in skills, that's all..."
Sima Hui couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Excellent! Disciples don't have to be inferior to their teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than their disciples! In the beginning, saints and fools are related. How about being a saint and following a teacher? How stupid is it? A teacher learns his way.
There is no need to talk about succession or position! It is a great good thing!"
Fei Qian nodded and said: "All things are born, and all things can be used as teachers. Farmers work on crops, engineers work on equipment, and soldiers work on the battlefield. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Why should we seek perfection and blame? Therefore, learning is one thing, and the Five Classics are
There is no distinction between superior and inferior books, only the order of attainment."
"Okay!" Sima Hui laughed.
Sima Huineng chatted well with Pang Degong. Naturally, he didn't stick to books and then left with the number one Confucian disciple in the world. Moreover, in the Han Dynasty, no one would think that Confucian disciples were so great. In this era, even more
Many people still feel that their family is more important.
At least Liu Bang pointed at the Confucian scholar and cursed, pulled off the Confucian scholar's hat and threw it on the ground to urinate. He was not necessarily hated to the bone by these Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty. He still praised Liu Bang. If in later generations...
"Respect the teacher, respect the Tao, and apply what you have learned. These eight characters are the key to guarding the mountain academy, and it is also Cai Gong's lifelong thought..." Fei Qian conveniently pulled Cai Yong as a banner, "Today the academy is offering wine to Linghu."
Uncle Kong has a gentle temperament, is pure and humble, and if he is a lecturer, he will have more than enough; if he is a defender, he will not be enough. Qian's current government affairs are complicated and he has no skills to divide himself, and the affairs of the academy cannot be abandoned. Mr. Shui Jing is famous all over the world, and he is knowledgeable.
, so there is a ruthless request..."
"...please ask Mr. Shui Jing to be the advisor of Shoushan. He will uphold the teachings of the teacher and pass down the scriptures. I wonder what Mr. Shui Jing's intention is?" Fei Qian stood up and bowed his hands to Sima Hui. Advisor, this position has been around since the Han Dynasty.
It already exists, and it is not exclusive to future generations.
When Sima Hui came to guard the mountain, he must have come to the Academy. There is no doubt about this, otherwise he would not have stayed here specifically. But as the great men of later generations said, those who can be united can be united, and those who cannot be united should be attacked.
On the whole, Sima Hui can still be a comrade for a period of time. After all, whether in Hanoi or Jingxiang, Sima Hui's reputation is relatively high. With his blessing to guard the mountain academy, he is naturally better than Linghu Shao, or
Cai Yan is better.
In this way, Linghu Shao is mainly responsible for government affairs, while Sima Hui focuses on discussing Taoism. As for Cai Yan, her innate strength in "books" cannot be replaced by anyone, so the three of them are not
There will be too much overlap, but they can complement and support each other.
Sima Hui naturally refused, but for those so-called words about old age and lack of talent and learning, Fei Qian listened quietly and laughed, and then went on to perform the drama of coming and going again. In the end, Sima Hui sighed and expressed reluctant acceptance.
.
Fei Qian immediately said that he had chosen an auspicious day and announced this in public. Then the two sat down again and looked at each other. They suddenly felt some subtle changes. They were no longer stiff as before, and they laughed in unison.
"Okay," Mr. Shui Jing said with a smile, stroking his beard, "I wonder what the general's plans are for the academy?"
"Calling someone Ziyuan is..." Fei Qian smiled and said that Sima Hui didn't need to be too polite. "When Mr. Cai was still alive, he talked a lot about applying what he learned. Now Mr. Shui Jing might as well start with this... It's just the right time.
How about taking this as the question for the spring exam?"
"Apply what you have learned?" Sima Hui thought for a moment, "I wonder if the general wants to implement shooting strategies, or countermeasures?" There were two types of examination methods in the Han Dynasty: shooting strategies and countermeasures. The so-called shooting strategies were like the lottery exams of later generations, and the content focused on shooting.
To explain and elucidate the meaning of the classics, the doctor first seals the solutions to difficult questions in the Confucian classics, and the students project and extract them to answer them. The so-called countermeasures are based on the major political and theoretical issues raised by the academic officials, and they write articles to answer them.
.
"Of course the countermeasures are appropriate. If the speech is good, a list can be published and rewarded." Fei Qian said with a smile, "In addition, the top ten best works, as well as Mr. Shui Jing's comments, can be compiled into a book, and the craftsmen can print it.
Putting it in a bookstore as a gift to students can, on the one hand, promote the reputation of Shoushan, and on the other hand, it can also teach the teacher's way. I wonder what Mr. Shui Jing thinks?"
If you want someone to do something, you have to give them some sweeteners. Of course, people like Sima Hui don't think much of money, women, and so on. On the contrary, leaving a name in the world makes him more excited.
"This... is good..." Sima Hui heard this, and he and Fei Qian laughed together, and said repeatedly, "General, it is very good to consider this carefully..."
