Chapter 491: Issues in Modern and Ancient Confucian Classics
The sky is already a little dark, everything is no longer distinct and clear, the outlines are all a little blurred due to the light, and the colors are gradually getting closer to gray and black...
It's very similar to the situation Fei Qian is in now.
To be fair, Jia Qu thinks Fei Qian's treatment of Wei Wang just now is already a good one, but...
It's possible that Wei Wang himself came here for the next best thing. Of course, it would be better for Wei Wang if Fei Qian foolishly took over the manor.
Although it is not sure whether Wei's will be like those sponsors in later generations who desperately put various logos on every corner, but in this way, Wei's will at least leave a good impression in front of the students...
This is equivalent to gaining fame.
After asking the maids to remove the bowls from the table, they lit candles and served some tea. Fei Qian looked at Jia Qu and asked, "Liang Dao, what do you think about this matter?"
Unexpectedly, Jia Qu didn't talk too much about Wei Wang. Perhaps he felt that Fei Qian should know something about it, so he said: "This... it depends on whether the lord wants to teach modern scriptures or ancient scriptures..."
Um?
What is the meaning of this statement?
Could it be that……
"Liang Dao said, could it be that the Wei family mainly relied on the Jin Jing? Didn't they pass it down through the "Gui Zang"?" Fei Qian was a little confused. Didn't the Wei family use the Yi Jing to pass down the family? Didn't he have three volumes of fragments hidden in his home?
Jia Qu nodded and said: "Although there is "Gui Zang", the Wei family mainly focuses on "Jingshi Yi"..."
No wonder.
Fei Qian nodded, generally understanding something.
The Book of Changes can be said to be the source of all things in the universe that ancient people thought about philosophy. During the development process, the Book of Changes also changed several times. The first "Lianshan" was lost in the Xia Dynasty, and then the "Gui Zang" was lost in the Shang Dynasty.
Only the relatively complete "Book of Changes" preserved by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty was called "Yi" at this time, but it was not a classic.
Because the ancient characters were obscure and difficult to understand, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius and his disciples created the "Ten Wings", also known as the "Yi Zhuan", to interpret the "Yi". At this point, the "Yi" and "Yi Zhuan" were combined into one.
It was then called the "Book of Changes" and officially became a classic that Confucians must study.
Later, after the Qin Dynasty, the Tian family became the first person to spread the Yi in the early Han Dynasty. Later, there were two families, the Jiao family and the Fei family, and then extended to thirteen families, including Shi, Meng, and Liangqiu.
Yixue is the most influential among the Thirteen Schools, in addition to Jingshi Yixue...
The Jing's Yi School originated from the Jiao family and focused on divination.
But what’s interesting is that, in order to be new and different, those who studied the Book of Changes all invariably mixed their own opinions into their understanding of the Book of Changes, and began to conduct various...
Annotations, well, even...
Misinterpretation.
To put it simply, for example, when Fei Qian went to Jingxiang to study, he heard Xun Yu's "Theory of the Four Virtues" in the Xun Family Villa of Xun Shuang, a scholar of the Great Yi, and he could also regard it as
A comment on Yi.
Although Xun Yu was more or less a positive explanation, Jing's Yi Ze mostly used divination to predict hexagrams and used them to explain. Well, this led to...
Well, everyone knows...
"Liang Dao, do you think the modern scriptures or the ancient scriptures are better?" Fei Qian asked.
"This..." Jia Qu slightly hesitated. After all, he was not a master of Confucian classics, so how could he comment without permission?
Fei Qian smiled and said, "Well, let's just treat it as casual chat. Liang Dao doesn't need to worry."
Jia Qu nodded, then thought about it and said: "Qin Huo's fault is also the crime of Legalism. The ancient scriptures are incomplete, and the modern scriptures are mended. This is a good deed..."
Fei Qian nodded, without interrupting or saying anything, because he knew that this was just the beginning of Jia Qu's remarks, and there must be some of his own opinions later.
"...However, everyone at the moment has selfish motives, has no good will to serve the public, is jealous, or is a member of the same party, does not consider the actual situation, and does not have Taoism. Alas..." Jia Qu shook his head and did not continue.
Fei subconsciously tapped the table and thought about it. In fact, this was also a question he had been thinking about for a long time. The Three Kingdoms were far from being as simple as he originally thought...
In later generations, I also saw people talking about burning books and trapping Confucianism on many forums. Now it seems that Confucianism is not the only one being cheated, but all schools of thought except Legalism!
But the result was not what the Legalists wanted...
Other schools struggled to survive, but then the Legalists themselves were kicked out of the court...
In other words, it was swallowed up by Confucianism, and the remaining dregs were spit out far away...
At the same time, Confucianism seemed to have swallowed up many other schools that withered after the Qin fire...
On the one hand, in order to improve their own theories and classics, and on the other hand, in order to gain more political capital, many great Confucians in the Han Dynasty chose the same path...
The book is being compiled and standing.
Then start watering.
Fei Qian suddenly thought of something, sighed deeply, and said with great emotion: "Liang Dao, in fact, what you are talking about is the issue of 'the people can use it but not know it'!"
Jia Qu was stunned for a moment, then frowned, slightly puzzled.
Fei Qian casually read this classic saying into two or three different sentences and explained it to Jia Qu.
Jia Qu happily touched his palm and said loudly: "That's right! What my lord said is exactly what is wrong with the situation!" Jia Qu admired it endlessly. This sentence is really wonderful, and it is the most appropriate way to describe the situation.
Looking at Jia Qu's admiring eyes, Fei Qian couldn't help feeling his throat was a little itchy and coughed twice. This sentence was so famous that he was overly familiar with it.
But, put it this way...
The current situation of Confucianism, coupled with the resources on hand now, is it, well, this seems to be...
Can you do something?
And in this way, even if Wei makes some moves, it seems to be okay...
But let’s wait until master Cai Yong comes to carry the banner. With my small body now, I can’t stand such a big proposition!
Therefore, Fei Qian said: "This matter has a lot to do with it, so let's not talk about it for now. Let's use the resources of the Wei family to build the academy on Taoshan first."
"The follow-up actions of the Wei family will not be effective until we open the school, so there is no rush..."
Jia Qu nodded, and then said: "My lord, can you engrave Taibo's sentence on the door stele?"
Fei Qian chuckled and said: "That's okay, but just write it down first. I can't say more for the time being..."
"It's natural, Qu understands it." Jia Qu looked at Fei Qian and felt a little excited. It turns out that Jia Kui, the ancestor of the Jia family, was a great writer and a staunch supporter of ancient classics.
The great Confucian Li Yu was famous for being difficult to argue with the prime minister. But later, the family gradually declined. When his generation saw the spread of modern classics, he felt a lot of grudges in his heart. But today, it was discovered that Fei Qian, the lord, seemed to also agree with the ancient classics.
I couldn't help but feel that I was not alone in my path. I felt deeply inspired immediately and left with high morale. I was so energetic that I wanted to complete the construction of the school immediately...
Fei Qian sent Jia Qu out of the hall, and then stood in the courtyard, looking up at the numerous stars that he had never seen before in later generations. For a moment, he felt a little intoxicated.
The Three Kingdoms, just like this gorgeous night, actually hides many unknown secrets. Only when you calm down and look slowly, you can seem to detect the thrilling beauty...
The Han Dynasty was a very interesting dynasty. Well, in fact, a lot of things about the Three Kingdoms were solidified by Old Man Luo, so most people would only pay attention to the emperors and generals...
But the author is obviously not an ordinary person...
Click, click, click...
Let’s put up a pos and feel complacent first…
Why do you think Dian Niang’s cover is a bit silly and cute?
Or maybe Dian Niang thinks there are more people with Ha Liu?
