While the relevant debate was going on at Qinglong Temple, Fei Qian was sitting across from Pang Shanmin in the hall of a slightly remote courtyard, playing chess.
Pang Shanmin came to Chang'an a few days ago, but he didn't go to Qinglong Temple immediately.
Fei Qian knew that Pang Shanmin had concerns, so he came to play chess with Pang Shanmin.
The north wind howled by, neither too strong nor too weak.
I don't know what kind of birds were resting on the trees in the courtyard, but three or two were chirping.
The winter sun shone lazily on the open space in the courtyard, seeming to be humming feebly.
A white-coated mat and a black-lacquered table were set up in the hall. The temperature in the room was not too low, so I didn't light a brazier. I just used a red clay stove to warm some thin wine, and from time to time, attendants came forward to add more.
Fei Qian took out a white stone from the lacquer box and slowly placed it on the chessboard.
Fei Qian was originally a bad chess player in later generations, well, he is still one now.
Fei Qian is not very proficient in Go, mainly because he doesn't memorize many fixed formulas. He only briefly touches on small flying, high and low clips, etc. As for avalanches, he basically doesn't know how big or small they are.
After all, there is a saying in later generations that if you cannot become a professional Go player before the age of sixteen, you will have no hope for life. Although this is somewhat extreme, it also proves that Go is a profession that requires a lot of accumulation, and it also requires a lot of effort and energy.
, which you have to work hard to obtain.
In fact, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world. If there is, it must be a trap.
After the Han Dynasty, chess and other games were invented by Fei Qian, but the audience was not wide. At present, chess is only popular among the military. Literati still like Go, thinking that the traditional black and white colors have the beauty of Tai Chi's yin and yang, while chess is more popular among the military.
The killing spirit is too strong and not beautiful.
As for military flags, backgammon, draughts, etc., they are all considered child's play and cannot be accepted in the elegant hall. There is no animation effect that is colorful and everyone changes color as soon as it is made. Most of them are disgusted and think that in ten
You shouldn't play such crude games after you turn 18.
There is no way, the scholars and literati of the Han Dynasty were so stubborn.
And it is not that simple to get some new thinking, new directions, and new concepts into these stubborn minds.
The model taught by Zheng Xuan has been somewhat frustrated. Now it is Pang Shanmin's turn...
When Fei Qian plays chess, he naturally does not stick to winning or losing, so he plays chess easily. On the contrary, playing chess with Fei Qian puts a lot of psychological pressure on him.
Pang Shanmin looked at Fei Qian and raised his eyebrows.
This chess move was so bad that Pang Shanmin didn't even know what to do.
Yali Mountain is big.
When he first started playing chess with Fei Qian, Pang Shanmin thought that Fei Qian said that his chess skills were not good because he was being modest. However, after playing a few games, he discovered that it was not modesty but the truth.
In this chess game, it is actually not difficult to win Fei Qian, but it is difficult to draw or even lose...
Fortunately, Fei Qian's attention was not on playing chess, nor did he care much about winning or losing on the chessboard. He was more concerned about the layout of Qinglong Temple and related issues related to the promotion of the overall social productivity and production relations of the Han Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, there was no time limit for playing chess, so sometimes a game of chess could be played for a whole day.
After Fei dived for a while, he picked up the wine and took a sip, and then said slowly: "When are the immortals going to start speaking?"
Pang Shanmin pinched a black stone in his hand. He did not look at Fei Qian with his eyes, but stared at the chessboard. He hesitated a little. He didn't know whether he was hesitating about the move or the matter of Qinglong Temple. "The mountain man has not thought about it yet."
...』
As he said that, Pang Shanmin gently dropped a word on the chessboard.
"Tell me about it." Fei Qian looked at Pang Shanmin's position and didn't seem to see anything remarkable about it.
Well, there really is a clever trick, but Fei Qian probably can't see it either.
"The intention of the mountain people watching Hussar seems to be to restore the theory of various schools?" Pang Shanmin raised his head and looked at Fei Qian.
Fei Qian laughed, waved his hand and said, "It's not a restoration, it's a new thing."
"Restore? New?" Pang Shanmin repeated.
Fei Qian nodded, tapping his fingers lightly on the desk, "New."
"I would like to hear the details." Pang Shanmin said.
The "hundred schools of thought" is a false name, it is not really a hundred schools of thought.
Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty quoted Sima Tan's views on academic schools in "Historical Records". Sima Tan summarized the schools since the pre-Qin period into six schools, namely Yin-Yang, Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Mingjia, and Taoism.
Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty did something different again. In the Book of Han, he classified the schools of thought since the pre-Qin period into ten schools, namely Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Legalism, Famous School, Mohism, Politicians, Miscellaneous School, and Farmer School.
novelist.
You must know that China has attached great importance to rankings since ancient times. It is very particular about who ranks first and who ranks behind. However, Sima Qian and Ban Gu obviously did not specifically mark these rankings in the order of gestures, or in accordance with
The sequence, or ranking, is in no particular order, so this ranking is interesting.
Perhaps we can get a glimpse of the changes in these schools of thought in the Han Dynasty...
Then we can deduce why these changes occurred and what impact these changes will have on future generations.
This might be a paper.
Of course, Fei Qian was here without thinking about writing some paper on this issue with Pang Shanmin.
"Can there be no thieves in the world?" Fei Qian said slowly, also asking Pang Shanmin.
"There are no thieves in the world?" Pang Shanmin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "It is impossible and never happened. The world is never without thieves. The valley is empty but the river is exhausted, the hills are flat but the deep is real. The saint is dead, and the big thief cannot afford it."
, The world is peaceful for no reason. As long as the saint does not die, thieves will not stop."
"Of course." Fei Qian nodded, "The so-called thief also has a way. Those who steal hooks will be punished. Those who steal the country are princes. The gates of princes steal benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, if the way lasts, thieves will also last. The world will never be without thieves.
How can it be avoided?"
Human beings are born selfish, and they can be selfless only because they have knowledge, are selfless, have fear, are selfless, have moral standards, have social supervision, have public discussion, etc.
If there is selfishness, there will naturally be thieves.
As long as the thief's heart does not die, the thief himself will never die.
Therefore, Fei Qian needs to develop the wisdom of the people. The stronger and higher the wisdom of the people, the more difficult it will be to become a thief. The wisdom of the people is that soldiers are the people, workers are also the people, and the same is true for all kinds of students, children of the gentry, merchants, farmers, etc.
It's the people.
In terms of soldiers, it has become a norm for soldiers to gain promotion after acquiring a certain level of knowledge. Similarly, the so-called "working class" in the Han Dynasty was actually similar to the army to a certain extent.
Within the space and time, these workers are forced to learn through forced or semi-forced methods.
If you can't learn or don't understand, soldiers can't get better promotions, and workers can't make more money.
Driven by profit, these soldiers and workers will be more proactive in learning and growing. In this process, these people, and even their families, will naturally grow in "people's wisdom" accordingly.
.
The current Qinglong Temple is "profit-driven" on the part of the literati.
Go forward!
Look forward!
Fei Qian sometimes thinks that he wishes there was a whip behind him so that these people could stumble forward and move towards the light...
This whip is regulations, interests, guidance, public opinion, and all means. But even so, there are still many people who refuse to learn and are unwilling to use their brains.
It’s tiring to use your brain, but not tiring to play.
Why are you thinking so much? Eat first, drink first and have fun first.
Pang Shanmin frowned, thought for a long time, and then said slowly, "Is Taoism natural?"
Fei Qian shook his head again and said, "The way of Tao is natural, but it is not natural. This is the victory of Tao, and it is also the disadvantage of Tao. Huang Lao values doing nothing and not fighting, and the same is true for defeat. Huang Lao is in his heart, so he does nothing and does not fight.
It's okay, but if you don't have a heart, you can do nothing and fight. If the people are not connected to each other, it's okay to do nothing. How can we not fight if we meet each other on every street?"
Inaction does not mean not doing anything, but not acting rashly. Inaction means not violating objective laws, but acting in compliance with objective laws.
However, this is a no-brainer, and it also has shortcomings.
Mr. Huang seemed to be queuing up according to the rules, and then he met someone who didn't line up according to the rules. It turned out that some guys didn't line up according to the rules and actually made a profit. So, should he insist on doing nothing and not fight, or should he insist on doing nothing and not fight?
Are you talking about suddenly falling out and starting a fight?
In the early Han Dynasty, Huang Lao was used to do nothing but fight because the laws and regulations in the early Han Dynasty could not fight against each other at all. After the Warring States Period, various places were chaotic and lacked officials. Without corresponding systems and regulations, random actions would only lead to frequent secondary disasters among the people.
That's why Huang Lao did nothing and did not fight.
After the natural development of the civil society reaches a certain stage, all kinds of disorder collide with each other again, and they are bound to fight. Of course, Huang Lao's "inaction" strategy of governing by the people cannot continue. Just like in ancient times, tribes in various places
If we can't meet each other at all, then what national concepts, governance and diplomacy are useless at that time? And when the natural development reaches a certain stage, after tribes and tribes begin to fight, kill and annex, why do we still do nothing at this time?
After all, everyone's position is different.
People with different positions will have different views and interpretations of the same thing, and they will also bring different ways of handling it, and they will firmly believe that they are not wrong, and others are wrong. This is the case with most things in the world, and it can never be solved.
Everyone has a unified view and interpretation on the same thing.
Sometimes the truth is indeed in the hands of a few people, and even when most people have reached a consensus, there will still be a small number of fun-loving souls who will jump out and express different opinions.
We can never agree on the same views, but we can reach agreement on actions.
You can reserve your opinions, but your actions must be unified.
If you are not unified, you will be punished.
To reach an agreement, a higher level of intervention is necessary, so Huang Lao's strategy of the Han Dynasty naturally did not adapt to the development of the times.
"The creatures of heaven and earth are strong and weak, big thieves are small, wise and stupid, and the power of things is inevitable. In the past, when the Xiongnu soldiers were strong, they harmed the borders, plundered the Han people, and panicked in court to seek peace. But now when the Han Dynasty is strong, they will gather in their villages.
On the edge, Fuyin Mountain, where the soldiers are pointing, the barbarians dare not act rashly..." Fei Qian said slowly, "The time is the same, the situation is the same. The heaven and the earth are like this, and all the people are like this. Huang Lao's words can be said inwardly.
, it’s hard to beat the outside.』
Pang Shanmin was silent for a long time, and then nodded slowly, "What Xiuqi said is reasonable. So at Qinglong Temple, Xiuqi doesn't want to judge Lao and Zhuang? Is it because he wants to be punished?"
Fei Qian laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "That's not true. A certain person said that it's all about innovation. This innovation is new from hundreds of schools, not just from one."
Fei Qian turned to Huang Xu and signaled, Huang Xu took a tips bag from the guard on the side and gave it to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian handed the brocade bag to Pang Shanmin with some bad taste, "This is a wonderful idea in the brocade bag. Immortals may wish to take a look at it."
Pang Shanmin pinched the brocade bag and it felt a little hard. Then he opened it and found that there were rolls of parchment inside. "This is..."
"This is the scroll of a great scholar." Fei Qian said with a smile, "It contains the translation of Zhuangyi Xuan."
"But... what kind of scholar..." Pang Shanmin was a little dazed. He obviously couldn't understand the words on the parchment, so he took out the manuscript from the Zhuanjian Xuan and read it. After a while, he frowned slightly and asked, "Is this a famous scholar?"
Fei Qian smiled, "It sounds like a name but not a name."
Pang Shanmin frowned and continued reading.
Some people say that the masters reach their peak when they debut. Fei Qian thinks this statement is partly correct, but also partly incorrect.
The correct thing is that the Spring and Autumn Period was a relatively typical feudal society, and then various academics emerged based on the different local characteristics of the princes and were supported by their lords or princes. As a result, the doctrines became complicated, and thinkers naturally
becomes a lot.
For example, a strategist is, to put it bluntly, a diplomat. He frequently travels to various countries as envoys and frequently changes his stance. Each envoy is eloquent and uses leverage to achieve things that the military cannot.
After hundreds of years of strategists' strength, it was lost in the unification environment.
In the environment of China's great unification, a few people will not be allowed to mess around internally.
But it's not the case with a neighbor.
Before the Restoration, the Eastern Japanese were always divided in various places. Zonghengshu was an extremely important tool and weapon for the daimyo. This diplomatic inheritance continued into later modern times. Therefore, in later modern times, sometimes the Eastern Japanese always felt that the Eastern Japanese were aggressive, and it seemed that they had never been
From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, they always suffered losses. In fact, upon study, many of the losses were due to their diplomatic methods. These East-Japanese diplomats knew how to take advantage of the situation, understand the general trend, know how to change positions, know how to manipulate public opinion, and could be soft or hard.
He can speak cruel words, engage in assassinations, be humble and lick the ditch, and do whatever he can.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, political advisors have been in decline. Even if some documents were handed down that were burned every now and then, no matter how powerful the documents are, there is no practical experience. The external departments of various feudal dynasties in China are basically the same.
The goods are no longer better than those of our ancestors. A group of people who have almost never been abroad are in charge of diplomacy, just like civil servants who don't understand agriculture at all and are in charge of agriculture. They started to learn diplomacy from scratch after being slapped in the face.
After reading for a long time, Pang Shanmin put down the translation in his hand and said, "Husband, what does this... mean? Please enlighten me."
Fei Qian smiled, pointed at the chessboard on the table, and said: "The various schools of thought are just like this vertical chessboard. Countless talented people in the future have added bricks and tiles, painted and painted on it. Then,
Which one is better, the merits of this chessboard, or the ingenuity of later generations?"
Fei Qian said, sweeping away the chess pieces on the chessboard, "Even if we start a new game, we are still in this chess game!"
Well, I'm almost losing anyway, so I might as well find an excuse to stop playing.
Pang Shanmin was in a daze, staring at the chessboard.
"Ahem," Fei Qian pretended to cough, and then said, "Do the immortals know that in addition to black and white hands, there is also chess and the art of fighting in Chang'an?"
Pang Shanmin raised his eyes and nodded.
"That's it. Now if all these chess masters and poker masters are gathered together to compete for the championship, but they can only talk about black and white, who can win?" Fei said subconsciously, "Spring and Autumn Hundreds.
A family is like a hundred chess pieces, each has its own way of playing, and each has its own advantages. But now we are stuck in one place, and we need to seek perfection and blame. Is this reasonable?"
"People eat hundreds of grains. There are differences between men and women, old and young, superior and inferior. There are smart people and stupid people. There are powerful people and there are weak people. How can we generalize?" Fei Qian said slowly.
He said, "There are hundreds of schools of thought. Should there be various schools of thought first before there are hundreds of schools of thought? Or should there be a hundred schools of thought first before there are hundreds of schools of thought? What about today's world?"
"This..." Pang Shanmin was in a daze, his eyes moving, obviously thinking.
"Dead culture" cannot progress or change. Just like "The Three Fears of a Gentleman", it defines the indestructible theorem of ancient sages. If you have any objections, you can think about it secretly in your heart, but once you speak it out, you will be punished.
With the "Execution of Shaozhengmao", unless the entire dynasty is in turmoil and seeking change, Confucianism will be the orthodoxy, "dead culture" will be the mainstream, and "Yi Yan Tang" will be the orthodoxy of the feudal dynasty.
Strictly speaking, Confucius was not the original author. Confucius also claimed to speak rather than write. However, after Confucius, most of the later Confucian scholars relied on Confucius for their writing, which is very interesting.
It's like a certain horse and monkey wrote about the Three Kingdoms, and someone suddenly jumped out, you horse and monkey, this is not the Three Kingdoms at all! The Three Kingdoms should be about loyalty, about strategy, about the yellow sand stained with blood, about sleeping on the same bed, and about talking and fighting among the scholars.
, it’s seven in and seven out...
Hmm, why is it a little weird...
That's pretty much it anyway.
Therefore, Chinese culture must be revived, with stronger vitality and more fierce fighting power!
Before it dies, make it come alive again.
Fei Qian laughed and suddenly groaned:
"The beauty of Tangdi is like that of Ebu Weiwei. All people today are better than brothers."
"The power of death and mourning, brother Kong Huai. The original Xi has passed away, and brothers ask for it."
"The order of the spine is still there, and the brothers are in dire straits. Every time I have a good friend, I will always sigh."
"Brothers are jealous of each other, so they can resist their insults. Whenever there are good friends, there will be no war..."
Fei Qian pointed to the parchment on the table, "Now this is a "foreign aggression"...are the immortals up to the task?"
If you want to win, if you want to develop, if you want to achieve higher and better progress, you can't be "just like that", or "too superficial", or "wonderful skills", and then downplay it.
Just say "abandon" or "forget it", and that's it.
All tools should be used, not worshiped.
This is true of Confucius and Mencius, and it is also true of Aristotle.
Idealism is good, materialism is also good, chaotic yin and yang, logical thinking, everything is a tool for human beings to stumble forward into this world!
People can eat hundreds of grains, so why can’t they have hundreds of tools?
Do you have to use only one tool?
Can you only play one kind of chess?
But there are some people who, when they see someone saying that Confucianism is good, they call them a Confucian dog; when they see someone saying that Western learning is wonderful, they call them slaves of the West; when they hear the wind blowing, they call them rain; when they see a spot, they call them all leopards!
If you ask him what he can do, he will glare and spread his hands. I don't understand, I only know how to scold!
Pang Shanmin thought for a while, then laughed, stroking his palms and singing the second half of Fei Qian's words:
"When chaos and chaos subside, peace and tranquility are achieved. Although we have brothers, it is better to live together as friends."
"Bi'er is like a bean, and it's like drinking wine. Brothers are living together, and they are happy and happy."
"The wife is harmonious, like a drum, harp, and harp. The brothers are both in harmony and in harmony."
"It's good to have a good family and a good wife and money. It's just a picture, it's so natural! Wonderful, wonderful, hahaha..."
