If you are an ordinary young man, after Fei Qian's impassioned words, you will naturally fall to the ground and admire him. But the two people present are both old foxes. Let's not say whether they are experienced in hundreds of battles, but at least they are.
Those who have been fighting in the Qinglun field for a long time have a very strong ability to withstand beatings and temptations. Even though they already somewhat agree in their hearts, they still have some doubts.
Intuition told them that Fei Qian's move, er, Fei Qian's move, was never that simple.
Sima Hui was a little better. He nodded obediently and did not intend to object. He obviously did not want to be the main force in questioning. After all, it was his nephew who proposed the theory. Even if his uncle had some questions in his mind, he would not
He will step in to hold him back.
But Zheng Xuan, his and Sima Hui's positions are different.
"There may be some inaccuracies in the miscellaneous theories of the world..." Zheng Xuan still wanted to try harder, "However, the prophecies of the Analects of Confucius should not be included in the five meridians and latitudes. It is like saying that Zhongni set up teachings and lectures, and passed them down to future generations. Although he did not have a title or salary,
However, is it wrong to say that he contributed to later generations? There are also six assistants of Fuxi and seven assistants of Huangdi, all of whom are good. How can we generalize them?"
Zheng Xuan originally came to Fei Qian, not purely because of the Five Virtues theory, nor was he trying to quarrel with Fei Qian. He was already this age, so there was nothing to quarrel with, let alone Zheng Xuan's earlier years.
I have often experienced those so-called academic problems.
Therefore, it can be said that Zheng Xuan came mainly for his own academic inheritance.
As the most complete collection of scriptures in the Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan has naturally read and even studied many scriptures, and there must be a lot of prophecies involved.
After all, Liu Xiu relied on the Five Virtues of Prophecy to start his career. Even though Liu Xiu himself knew that this thing was not good, it had become a fact. Therefore, no matter how Liu Xiu made amends in the later period, there were still many problems that continued to affect his career.
Until now.
Why is Zheng Xuan famous?
This is because Zheng Xuan annotated a large number of scriptures.
Because the ancient language and characters are very different from those of the Han Dynasty, without a relatively unified and reasonable explanation, many scholars will be confused. Therefore, Zheng Xuan collected a large number of scriptures and collected them.
The annotations on the scriptures made it easier for many people to understand the contents of the scriptures. This is the reason why Zheng Xuan was respected and praised by many people.
In the process of this annotation, Zheng Xuan will inevitably quote some sentences or content about the "Five Virtues" or "Prophecy". Now if Fei Qian and Sima Yi deny the rationality of the Five Virtues, then Zheng Xuan before
The contents of those annotations are also equivalent to being denied.
So after Fei Qian's impassioned speech, Sima Hui basically stopped objecting, but Zheng Xuan still insisted on it. Because of this change, for Zheng Xuan, who had spent almost his whole life on scriptures,
It was a huge blow. Even if Zheng Xuan agreed in his heart, he had no time to modify the previous things...
The Analects of Confucius is a highlight that almost all readers cannot avoid, so there are the most explanations and annotations on the Analects of Confucius. Among them, the ones that tend to be prophecies are naturally the "Five Jingwei" and "The Analects of Confucius".
"What's more, if everyone now practices the classics and abandons them for a while, they are afraid of chaos in the world." Zheng Xuan said, "Although there are five virtues in it, there are also ancient history, astronomy, music, agriculture and medicine, etc., which are especially easy to count.
The importance of it and the wide application of it are definitely not the five virtues. If you just blame them and think it is a fallacy, you may be doing a lot of harm but only one benefit. I hope your lord will think twice!"
"Hmm... I forgot that Mr. Zheng is also proficient in the Book of Changes..." Fei Qian cupped his hands and said, "Then why did Mr. Zheng take money and give away charity, Meng and Liang Qiu?"
Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Fei Yi's study, long hexagrams and divination, dead chapters and sentences, just use "彖" and "xiang", and it is simple, so I took it..."
Fei Qian nodded, "So among the five virtues of today, the prophecy, does it have the word "simplicity"?"
"This..." Zheng Xuanba smacked his lips, "So we need to respond to it correctly and get rid of the complexity! What the Hussar did before was very good. He sought truth and correctness, eliminated the unnecessary and sought refinement. However, what he did now,
It’s inevitable to pass..."
"What Mr. Zheng said is wrong!" Fei Qian said categorically, "It doesn't matter, a certain prophecy is for one thing..."
Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui looked at each other, and then said: "What do you want to ask?"
"Easy and numbers need to be divided!" Fei Qian said in a deep voice.
"Yi, number?"
"Need to divide?"
Fei Qian nodded, "This matter is of great concern, and I'm afraid that others can't do anything about it! Only two of you can take on this important task..."
"My lord, wait a minute, wait a minute..." Zheng Xuan stretched out his hand to express that he had not agreed to anything yet, so why did he have a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, "I can't understand this matter, and I hope your lord can give me some advice... If you can't figure it out, how can you explain it? These two are easy to understand.
How can we separate them?"
Sima Hui also nodded slightly and said: "There are Yin and Yang in Yi, so we know existence and non-existence. They are divided into five elements, so we know ten and one hundred. Only when the Eight Diagrams are calculated can we have the number and derivation. Yi is the reason and number is the use. How can it be divided?"
From the Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then to the Han Dynasty, basically speaking, the polarization of mathematics was very serious. The high-ranking people were the Yangchun Baixue, and then the practical lower-level people.
Basically, if the children of the Lishu gentry specialize in mathematics, they are all experts in this field, and most people can only use it. For example, the nine chapters of arithmetic are just for the sake of telling ordinary country bumpkins how to use them.
…
As for the principles, these people don't bother to explain.
Just like the Pythagorean Theorem, it was mentioned at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which proves that someone had already studied it before the Western Zhou Dynasty and achieved certain results, but the specific demonstration process and theorem were not recorded...
Okay, Pythagorean is too superficial, but what about the "Magic Square"?
The earliest records of magic methods in China are the "Analects of Confucius" and "Shu Jing" of the Spring and Autumn Period. In foreign countries, the appearance of magic methods did not occur until the 2nd century AD...
There are also negative numbers, the surplus and deficiency technique, Yang Hui's triangle...
At any rate, it’s like that so-and-so, it’s okay to note next to it that this theorem is very simple and not to demonstrate it in particular!
Chinese mathematics is fragmented. It is not like literature at all. There is a clear thread that can be traced, let alone systematization and theorization.
Mathematics is the foundation of science, the lowest and largest stone among the foundations.
Fei Qian said slowly, "When I was living in Luoyang, my former teacher Cai Zhonglang was studying the geometry of a certain city..."
"Although I have learned astronomy and calendar from Master Liu, what can I do..." Fei Qian shook his head and said, "Firstly, I am dull in wisdom, and secondly, I am lazy, so I only know the superficial aspects of it, but not the essence. Every time I think about it, I always think about it."
Frightened, sweating profusely, and losing the high hopes of the teacher..."
Fei Qian raised his head and looked at the sky forty-five degrees, showing some nostalgia, and then sighed slightly.
Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui were also silent.
Naturally, Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui didn't know the importance of mathematics to China's future, but Fei Qian took the name of his master, and the reason seemed to be very good. After all, for Fei Qian, completing the master's entrustment was a matter of course.
, others have nothing to blame.
To separate mathematics, that is, to calculate scriptures, so that they can stand on the same stage as scriptures, this is Fei Qian's goal after untying the five virtues and imperial power. It is to enable Chinese mathematics to be promoted when the prophecy is abandoned.
A handful, when Huaxia Mathematics is still a young lolita, you can hug it, kiss it and lift it high...
In the current knowledge system of the Han Dynasty, ancient science and technology such as astronomy and calendar, arithmetic, earth science, phenology, agriculture, etc. are all classified under the name of arithmetic, and at the same time, there are also subjects such as the Book of Changes, Heluo, and Chenwei.
A mixture of alchemy and so on. It can be said that mathematics at present is basically a combination of science and technology, theology, superstition and religion. Therefore, "Historical Records" includes "Tianguan Shu", "Almanac", "Biography of Guice" and "Japanese Chronicles".
"Biography".
But the good times didn't last long.
Because the imperial power always feels uneasy about these things of Chenwei, and under the suppression of intellectuals instructed by generations of emperors, the "Five Virtues" are relatively better, but it is similar to the "Chenwei" of rebelling against the revolution and making trouble.
Just being whipped again and again.
Of course, it's because "Zhenwei" itself is unreliable. It keeps talking over and over again, saying that all the children are really old, and they still care about whose seed does what...
So can the imperial power endure it?
Because Chenwei is too closely related to the Book of Changes, and the Book of Changes are the beginning of the Chinese mathematical system, binary decimal system, hexadecimal system, and the relationship between Hetu and matrices, etc., then after belittling Chenwei, and
Although the little math girl I've been with for a long time didn't make any big mistakes, she was considered a coquettish bitch and was rejected...
Following the little Lolita of mathematics, after being divided, part of it was attributed to the children of the astronomy, calendar, and noble clans, part of it was attributed to the craftsmen of agriculture and architecture, and some remained to the warlocks of alchemy and mineralogy. From then on, mathematics was no longer
There is no chance to gather together and grow again...
Then I saw that Chinese poems, Tang poems, Song lyrics and Yuan music were eulogized every day in Chinese history. If they hadn’t gone out to look through Du Niang’s skirts, how many of them would have remembered the math lolita who was thrown to the bottom of the bed and into the gutter?
Perhaps, the inheritance of Chinese mathematics can start from now?
"The great changes in the wind of China are: one is the prehistoric period and it is Tang and Yu; the other is the king of Zhou changes to the Seven Kingdoms; the third is Han..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Now in the change, it has not yet been
We can see that it is extremely true... The governance of the family and the country, the customs of the people, the conduct of the wise, the preservation of the scholars, the inheritance of the ancestors, and the beauty passed down to future generations... We are duty-bound! If we don't understand the harm, that's fine.
Well, if you know its disadvantages but avoid talking about them for various reasons and pass them on to future generations, wouldn’t you be poisoning your descendants?”
"You two are great scholars of the Han Dynasty..." Fei Qian nodded slightly towards Sima Hui and Zheng Xuan, "You should know that with the rise of Tang and Wu, there was no choice but to save the people from disadvantages. And it is said that the luck of the five elements has the king, and one will decline.
, one can win with this, and this is the matter of the magicians. As for those who say that the rise of an emperor must take advantage of the five fortunes, there is no doubt about Miao Huan's theory. Since the death of Confucius, the Zhou Dynasty has become more and more declining and chaotic, the way is unclear, and everyone has different schools.
, it is true that the theory of wanton debauchery has been passed down to the present time, but we scholars cannot make great efforts to put an end to it. Instead, we have supplemented his theory and consolidated it. What a pity!"
"Only the righteousness of the world should be eliminated, fallacious theories should be established, the foundation of scholarship should be eliminated, and absurd doubts should be eliminated, so that people cannot pursue their own selfish interests!" Fei Qian said, "Now I am sending Sima Zhongda to establish a theory in Qinglong Temple. I don't want anything else.
Be selfless in your pursuit, resolve doubts, eliminate dissent and gain clarity, inherit the aspirations of the sages, and spread the learning of China!"
"Such things are beyond the reach of those with outstanding will! Fortunately, there are two of you..." Fei Qian looked at Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui and said with a smile, "I wonder if you two are willing to take on such a heavy responsibility?"
Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui looked at each other, their expressions somewhat subtle...
After a long time, Zheng Xuan finally sighed...
……(￢＿￢)*(`ェ′)……
The sun rises and sets, the moon rises and sets.
On the high platform of Qinglong Temple, Sima Yi, wearing a wide robe and long sleeves, wearing a crown and silk scarf, was talking.
"...The righteousness of the world is the unity of the world! Yao, Shun, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, all are better than this, and all have righteousness! Although the former Qin did not last long, it still unified the world.
In one! Therefore, only when the whole world is righteous can there be justice! If the whole world is righteous, and can unite all peoples in peace and well-being, then it can be called "orthodox"!"
"...During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world was out of order, the country was in chaos, there was no king, the bandits and thieves were flourishing, and orthodoxy had no subordinates. At this time, rise up and fight for the world. Those who have merit will be strong, and those who are virtuous will be kings.
, the prestige is given to the living people, and the orders are given to the world. Is there any reason for the five virtues in this way?"
"But there are some foolish Confucians who do not know right from wrong. They rely on hearsay and say many things that are wrong. Do they hate the Qin Dynasty and depose them because they think they are leaps? This is the private opinion of people, and they are indulged in the sayings that are not sacred music. They always quote scriptures.
, there must be books, but we only know the superficial knowledge, but not the truth! In the past, Yao passed it on to Shun, and Shun passed it on to Yu. The decline of Xia was the king of the Tang Dynasty; the decline of Shang was the king of the Zhou Dynasty; the decline of the Zhou Dynasty
Ye, the king of the Qin Dynasty. His prosperity may be based on virtue or merit, and he probably takes advantage of his shortcomings to replace him! If Qin is irreplaceable, Qi Chu must take his place!"
"Only taking the Spring and Autumn Period as an example to deduce the rise of Qin, its merits and virtues are inherently good and bad, but are their deeds any different? If the five virtues can be discussed, how should we explain them? "Chronicles" of Qin said, "The great deeds of Qin first came from
Among the descendants of Zhuanxu." When it came to Sun Boyi, Zuo Yu had done great work in controlling floods, and was given the surname Ying between Tang and Yu. And Feizi had done good work in raising horses for the Zhou Dynasty, and Qin Zhongshi was appointed as a magistrate... And at that time,
The Zhou Dynasty has been in decline for a long time. The chaos started with King Mu, followed by the disasters of Li and You. King Ping moved eastward and joined other countries. However, the princes of Qi, Jin, Lu, and Wei have the same surname. They are good at attacking each other, and they are weak together.
The Zhou Dynasty is like this! However, the Qin Dynasty is to the west, especially raising horses to level the dogs. This is also the case!"
"So the virtues of water arise from raising horses? The reason why Qin was able to pacify the six kingdoms was not due to the five virtues. It was because it wiped out all the armies and expanded the country thousands of miles. After that, more and more princes in the Guandong region became more and more powerful, and the territory of the Zhou Dynasty became increasingly shrinking, until it could no longer be restored.
The system of the Son of Heaven, the special title is Er. In the fifty-second year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the kings and ministers of Zhou surrendered to Qin. In later generations, the princes were destroyed and the whole world was established. This is the beginning and end of the story! What does it have to do with the Five Virtues?!
』
After Sima Yi finished speaking, everyone in the audience burst into chaos!
Some people beat their chests and stamped their feet, some gnashed their teeth, and some stood with their beards and hair hanging, pointing at Sima Yi on the stage and scolding loudly, but because the voices next to him were so confusing, he couldn't hear what was said at all, and the others couldn't hear clearly.
I can not hear you……
Of course, there were also some people who frowned quietly and meditated. Since these thinkers did not make a sound, on the surface it seemed that they were all opposing voices, and they were chaotic and noisy for a while.
Sima Yi stood steadily on the stage, scanning the chaotic crowd with his eyebrows, with a somewhat disdainful look in his eyes, and then pointed with a smile at the person under the stage who was dancing the most fiercely.
Everyone became a little quieter, and then that person roared loudly in excitement, and because he spoke too fast, it was not clear whether his tongue was too busy or there was too much saliva in his mouth, and his huffing and puffing was mixed with incomprehensible wheezing and gurgling.
It's so hard to tell...
Sima Yi tilted his head slightly and listened for a moment, then smiled and interrupted his eloquent but inaudible remarks, and said loudly: "Sorry... I can't hear you clearly... I want to ask, are you
Do you think the five virtues are orderly and reincarnation is reasonable? Have you followed the order from ancient times to the present? 』
"...Exactly!" The man in the audience swallowed his saliva and responded loudly, finally hearing clearly.
Sima Yi said, "Excuse me, what are the five virtues of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors?"
"Three..." The man was stunned.
"What kind of virtue is the Emperor of Heaven? What kind of virtue is the Emperor of Earth? What kind of virtue does the Emperor of Tai belong to?" Sima Yi pressed forward step by step, "What about the Five Emperors? What did the Five Emperors say?"
"When the heaven and earth were first born, there was the Emperor of Heaven, the king of Naimude, who could live for eighteen thousand years!" Seeing that the person before could not answer, someone shouted from the side, "The Emperor of the Earth is the virtue of fire! He thrives in the bear's ears.
Longmen and other mountains are also 18,000 years old! The human emperor is a Tude, divided the world into nine states, and each has a city. Every one hundred and fifty generations, a total of 45,600 years old! This is the biography of the Five Virtues, you
What else can I say?!』
Sima Yi tilted his head slightly, "Wait a minute... Do you remember, Kyushu... It was Dayu who controlled the floods, so "Jiuzhou" came into existence. Why, it came into being when the Human Emperor... If Kyushu was the result of the Human Emperor, Dayu also
Why live there? If what you say is true, doesn’t it mean that Yu the Great faked his achievements and defrauded his ancestors?!"
"Uh...this..."
"The word Jiuzhou is just a comparison! It was not created by the Human Emperor!" Another person added, "Let's talk about the five virtues, don't talk about anything else! Heaven, earth and human emperors all have virtues, which proves that the five virtues are orderly and eternal.
spread!"
"Yes, yes, the five virtues are in order and will be passed down through the ages!"
"That's right! That's it!"
"That's right! There are Chao clan and Naimude. They gather oak chestnuts during the day and perch on the trees at dusk. This is how the people of the Chao clan live!"
"Wood makes fire, so there is Suiren clan!"
"Fire generates earth, and Fuxi comes out!"
Everyone said one sentence, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.
"Uh... Shennong... Shennong... um..."
"Um……"
Suddenly, everyone was stuck. You looked at me, I looked at you, not knowing what to say.
The scene gradually became quiet.
Sima Yi said slowly and loudly on the stage, "In the past, Shaodian married the Youyu family, and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor... Therefore, in the current world, who was born with earth virtue? Or fire virtue? Where did the order of his biography come from?"
Shennong, surnamed Jiang is Yihuodewang.
Xuanyuan, Ji's surname is Tudewang.
Previously, Fuxi was earth, so whether it was earth producing metal or wood overcoming earth, this problem cannot be perfectly explained. If we insist on saying that Shaodian has been inherited by Fuxi and filled in the gaps, what kind of virtue is Shaodian?
Can two inheritances of fire virtue and earth virtue be born at the same time? And the existence of Yan and Huang at the same time also shows that the five virtues can coexist, and it is not the so-called inheritance of one...
The scene became a little strange for a moment.
Sima Yi sneered, waved his sleeves, and said loudly: "Therefore... from today on, the theory of the Five Virtues can be discontinued!"
