Sima Hui felt that the "true scriptures" of these five gods were actually implementing Fei Qian's concept, which was to only have real classics, rather than things made up by later generations in the name of their predecessors.
It is not a problem for the predecessors to do scriptures of their predecessors and write books of their descendants. However, the descendants insist on involving their predecessors, and the scriptures of previous generations are used as standards or endorsements for later generations to prove that their new work is fine is actually a fundamental mistake.
The idea of ​​China's progress should be as brilliant as a new flower every year, rather than as old as ancient flowers as one in a row.
The birth of ancient scriptures is a generation away from the modern scriptures.
Moreover, Sima Hui has now discovered that there are actually three batches of ancient scriptures, or three versions.
There may even be more versions...
That is, from Emperor Xiaowen to Emperor Xiaojing.
Why did Sima Hui think that the ancient scriptures were real before? It was mainly because one of the ancient scriptures was discovered in the Kong Mansion, and the other was that Liu Yu, a man, was said to have been stuttering since childhood, was good at sensation, raising dogs and horses, and had no ability to compete for the throne, so there was no use of the ancient scriptures to compete for merit...
What King Gong of Lu may be true, but those books did not have any follow-up movements, so they were gone.
Sima Hui once thought this matter was a pity, but now when he thinks about it, in addition to the pity, he has a little more suspiciousness.
After all, based on common sense, since it was the book obtained by King Gong of Lu who broke Kong's house, it seemed that there should be no more work from the people of Kong'an's country. The so-called collection of Kong's family and King Gong of Lu's Kong's version are likely not the same.
The ancient scriptures of Kong Anguo should be the second edition.
Kong Anguo's version is "ancient and modern", which means interpreting ancient texts in the form of modern texts. Therefore, although it is nominally called ancient texts, it may not actually be entirely ancient texts.
So who should be in the first version?
Sima Hui felt that it should be in the hands of Liu Xin, who was the son of Liu Xiang, the King of Huainan. Liu Xiang's father was Liu De, and Liu De was Liu Yu's brother, so if Liu Yu, King Gong of Lu, obtained a collection of books and then, as a guy who likes lackeys and beautiful women, sending the books to those of his brothers who like these scriptures seems to be a common sense inference.
Liu Xin was very dissatisfied with the doctors at that time who only taught the classical scriptures but did not teach the classical scriptures. So he wrote to Emperor Ai of Han, accusing the classical scriptures of being newly compiled after the Qin Dynasty, which was completely incomplete compared with the ancient text "Shangshu". He asked to establish ancient textures such as Mao Shi, Zuo Zhuan, and Li to be included among the academic officials.
What a pity...
Liu Xin's ancient scriptures did not meet the good times. The scriptures he compiled may be true, but within a few years, Wang Mang took real power. In order to facilitate his reform, Wang Mang thought of "reforming the ancient times". So the "AncientScriptures" that had just gained a foothold was about to do a big move and carry forward his theory, but because of Wang Mang's fall and Liu Xiu's rise, he was suddenly destroyed and all of them were destroyed.
In addition, Sima Hui discovered in the Dongguan collection that in fact, when Emperor Cheng of Han, there was a man named Zhang who created 102 "Shangshu" to the emperor. The emperor ordered people to find the books offered by Kong Anguo from the warehouse for comparison, and found that the same title had completely different contents. So at least when Emperor Cheng of Han, there were already many versions of ancient scriptures, and the version of Kong Anguo was still in the royal family at least when Emperor Cheng of Han.
In fact, in history, not only did some people in the Han Dynasty use the names of ancient and modern texts to cause trouble, but even in the feudal dynasties that followed, there were a large number of people who used the names of ancients and often said that it was made by some ancients. In fact...
The authenticity of this ancient and modern text has always been a complex of Chinese literati. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the court also wrote a special letter to send to Korea, asking North Korea to find out if there were any ancient scriptures, that is, ancient scriptures before the Song Dynasty, and some of them must be sent. Then Mr. Ouyang Xiu also wrote a poem, which stated that "Ling Yan is not allowed to be spread to China, and no one in the world knows ancient texts. The ancient kings have collected the rituals and the vast waves are vast and unobstructed." If anyone could find them out, he would definitely be grateful. From this perspective, it is also proved from a certain perspective that the entire East Asian cultural circle has developed from the origin of China.
For thousands of years, the traffic code of China has been the word "respecting the ancients". For traditional feudal dynasties, there is an self-evident truth. The older the times are, the more authoritative the words they say are, and the closer they are to the truth.
On the one hand, this standard brings benefits. The spirit of "respecting the ancients" stimulated the prosperity of Chinese history, and also made China attach great importance to history throughout the dynasties, so that future generations can still read these thousand-year-old ancient books.
On the other hand, this standard also brings disadvantages. Among these traditional scriptures, a large part is explained layer by layer, and at the same time it is also based on the ancients' speeches. The form of nesting dolls is formed, with one layer of explanation, and there are clear interpretation power arrangements between each layer. The explanations below will never be questioned or changed.
"This...maybe it's what the cavalry really wants us to do..." Sima Hui stretched out his hand. He might have wanted to pat Zheng Xuan's arm, but when he fell down, he still patted him on the edge of the bed. "Mr. Zheng... Old guy, you have to get up early...I don't expect that I was the only one who went on stage to do this..."
『After all... this is also half the way you have walked... ancient and modern, true and false, haha," Sima Hui sighed long, 『It is not as good as... a serious explanation... You have missed the teaching of the scriptures now, but you must get better... You can't miss it...
…(￣o￣).zZ…
The Mansion of the General of the Cavalry.
『Sir, Father…』
Fei Zhen ran to the back hall happily, first pretending to give a greeting, and then said anxiously, "My father, I want to go and see the scriptures and teaching ceremony!"
Fei Qian curled his lips slightly. He had turned a blind eye to various celebrations in later generations. He could not really arouse any curiosity in his teachings.
But when he turned around and saw Fei Zhen's gaze, Fei Qian seemed to understand a little.
"Well, you want to go and read it, it's not bad... I can ask someone to take you to the best position to read..." Fei Qian smiled and put down the book in his hand, "But...
Fei Zhen collapsed her shoulders and sighed with a frown, "I just knew... After that, my father, what is the problem this time?"
『Well, let me think about it...』 Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin, 『By the way, since he wanted to watch the etiquette, he might as well talk about the word "etiquette"!"
"Lecture?" Fei Zhen swallowed, "Dad, are you serious? Such a big question!"
Fei Qian said, "Since you know that "ritual" is difficult, it means you have gotten a little bit of true meaning. How about it? Well, you can choose not to read it... You have to read it, of course you have to write it..."
Although "ritual" is a core of Chinese traditional culture, it is not easy to use concise words or relatively clear definitions and frame a scope. Because its connotation is too rich and difficult to tolerate.
The contents involved in "Yi Li", "Zhou Li" and "Book of Rites" include the establishment of the emperor and the marquis, and the division of territory, including politics, law, culture and education, rituals, music, soldiers, taxes, service, money, funerals, clothing, meals, palaces, chariots, horses, rural commerce, medical and divination, astronomical and legal calendars, etc. Even the craftsmanship of some utensils is even included, which can be said to be all-inclusive.
However, just like a long sword with a double-edged sword, it seems very complicated because it is too inclusive, and it can even be said to have no core focus.
In fact, there is no core, and it doesn’t matter. Just like many disciplines, I don’t know what the real core is. For example, mathematics, is it zero sum one the core, or is it operations, application, or geometric space, and microscopic macroscopic is the core? However, disciplines such as mathematics have a gradual process, starting from the initial understanding of numbers and to advanced mathematics, from the easy to difficult.
But this "trade" seems to have not been prepared for people to learn from the beginning.
At least in the Han Dynasty, there were still nine chapters of arithmetic and other things, which told people that if they were interested in mathematics, they could start from these mathematical problems in daily life. There was no special person to study how to teach mathematics, but it also pointed out a direction, and they could start from these problems around them in daily life to climb the peak of mathematics.
But what about "ritual"?
Three rituals?
The heavyweight king is the first move?
Is there any way to explore the three blocks first?
Sorry, even the commentary book of Sanli’s commentary book is a one-stop from three to A.
This is not a road at all, it is a threshold!
Because it is very simple, it has been decided from the beginning, so-called "rituals cannot be compared to common people."
But the question is, is it really good to "be etiquette cannot be inferior to common people"?
Among these people's concepts, etiquette is common among the nobles, while common people only have vulgarity. However, the noble "etiquette" and the so-called lowly "vulgarity" have nothing to do with the Xialiba people? Allah is a city man, how about these rural bullies?
Fei Qian continued to read with a smile, while Fei Zhen held her head aside with a frown.
Fei Zhen felt that his head must be big and heavy now, at least bigger than the original one. It would be very uncomfortable if he didn't hold his neck.
Go or not, this is a difficult problem.
I went there to watch it. Of course it was fun, but I also had to do my homework!
Where did my father learn it and how to play it, he had to write a policy?!
Moreover, this policy is difficult to write, it is like a big enemy with fangs and claws!
If you don't go, there will be no fun to watch first, and...
Fei Zhen suddenly thought of something, tilted her head and looked at Fei Qian with some doubts, "My father, you just said, "You will naturally have to write it if you go to see it." It seems that you didn't say, "If you don't go to see it, you won't have to write it."... Isn't this cheating me?"
Fei Qian said, "Oh? You guessed it? That's how it seems I'll pay attention to it in the future... How about it? Have you decided?"
Fei Zhen sighed, "What else can I decide if I have this?"
Fei Qian laughed, "This is the best of both worlds! You go to watch the fun, I am happy, I got your policy, and I am happy, isn't this a win-win situation? The best of both worlds!"
Fei Zhen shook her head, "No, this is not the best of both worlds."
"Yeah, that's right." Fei Qian nodded, "But at least I gave you a better choice. Remember, except for your parents who will take care of you, the rest of you will not give you any good or bad choices. They will only give you bad choices, and there are even worse choices..."
Fei Zhen was silent for a while, nodded, then said goodbye, stood in the hall and pondered for a while, but did not turn to his backyard, but followed the pebbly path and passed through the bamboo forest to another small courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Second Mom! I'm here!"
Cai Yan is very clear about her. She and Huang Yueying are almost two completely different directions.
There are jingles and chaos in one yard from time to time. The other yard is quiet all year round, and at most it is the sound of the piano.
『I heard it…』 Cai Yan said slowly, 『What's the matter with me looking for my second mother again? Is your father leaving you homework?』
『Uh…』 Fei Zhen was stunned for a moment, 『Then, I just came to see my sister…and my future younger brother…』
『Hmph.』 Cai Yan put down the book in his hand, 『You and your father are the same, come only if you have something to do... After all, what's going on?"
Cai Yan is pregnant again. Under the stimulation of endocrine hormones, his temper is in a state of rising and falling.
『This…』 Fei Zhen hesitated for a moment and decided to confess, 『I still want to ask Er Niang for advice, what is "ritual"?
『You want to write a "ritual"? Hahaha..." Cai Yan laughed unkindly, 『This is a big topic!』
Fei Zhen sat down angrily, crossed her hands and hugged her chest, "Who said no? I mean I wanted to go and see the scripture ceremony held tomorrow, and then my father asked me to write a policy for this! Isn't this intention to make things difficult for me?"
Cai Yan's eyes rolled, "Oh, I understand. But it seems you don't understand yet."
"Ah, ah?" Fei Zhen widened her eyes, and after a moment, she bowed her hands honestly and said, "I'd like to ask for advice from my second wife."
"You said you were going to see the scriptures, right?" Cai Yan said slowly, "Isn't this very obvious? What your father asked you to write is not such a big ritual, but how to go from custom to custom... or how to go from custom to custom..."
"From customs to etiquette? From etiquette to etiquette?" Fei Zhen repeated.
Being polite is naturally a custom.
To be continued...
