Zhu Ping'an's voice echoed in the lecture hall, echoed in Yang Guoliang's mind, and also echoed in the minds of everyone in the lecture hall.
Great simplicity!
Zhu Ping'an's question is very simple, but it goes straight to the root of Yang Guoliang's theory of "the style of a king and the virtues of a concubine".
If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?
If Zhu Ping'an's question cannot be answered, then Yang Guoliang's theory, no matter how high-minded or politically correct, is nothing but smoke and mirrors.
While Yang Guoliang was thinking hard about Zhu Ping'an's question, others in the Lecture Department were also racking their brains to think about Zhu Ping'an's question. Why did the gentleman refer to King Wen of Zhou and the lady refers to the future of Zhou?!
Bells, drums, harps, harps, these musical instruments are only allowed to be enjoyed by the king of Zhou?!
Obviously not. The king of the Zhou Dynasty could use bells, drums, harps, and harps. Nobles often used these instruments for banquets. Common people could also use these instruments for sacrifices and weddings. It’s just that the levels are different, and the pomp that can be used is different. According to the Western Zhou ritual and music system levels
, the king of Zhou can use four sides and eight yi ("佾" means "line", each column has eight people, eight yi and sixty-four people), the princes can use three sides (missing the north side) and six yi, and the officials can use two sides (
There is a shortage of four qin in the north and east, and scholars can use one side (only the south) and two qin. Common people can also use musical instruments at weddings, funerals, and sacrifices, but the number and appearance cannot exceed that of "shi". Rich common people are happy
Yes, you can ask two people to play the piano or drums by yourself.
So how to explain that gentleman and lady refer to King Wen and Queen of Zhou?
Everyone racked their brains and thought hard to no avail.
"Dr. Yang, please enlighten me." Zhu Pingan stood on the stage and held his hand again.
"Lady Gentleman"
Yang Guoliang stood blankly in the audience, his face was ashen, sweat was pouring on his forehead, and his palms were also full of sweat. His brain seemed to be suppressed by an invisible boulder, and he could no longer function. His lips were a little white, and he murmured
Talk to yourself.
A breeze blew outside the window, carrying the hot temperature outside, blowing into the lecture room and blowing on Yang Guoliang's face.
The wind was weak and only turned one page of the book, but the blow on Yang Guoliang's face made Yang Guoliang stagger.
Is it too windy?
Or is this hall too hot?
Why do I feel a little unable to stand? Yang Guoliang tries hard to maintain his balance as if he wants to faint.
"hehe."
At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the lecture place. It was full of energy, calm and confident.
Along with laughter, someone under the podium stood up.
He had his hands behind his back and stared at Zhu Ping'an. He was tall and straight, like a hero standing on the cusp of the storm to turn the tide.
His figure is so majestic.
It's him!
Ma Huating, a lecturer at Prince Jing's Mansion.
When Yang Guoliang's mind went blank and he didn't know how to answer, Mr. Ma Huating stood up.
Ma Huating's chuckle attracted everyone's attention. He stood up and looked at Zhu Ping'an, with a mocking look on his face, and asked loudly: "Hasn't the number one scholar heard of the Spring and Autumn Writing Technique? What is the Spring and Autumn Writing Technique? Simplification, "The Book of Songs"
This technique is also often used. What is simplification, that is, the article does not mention names or surnames. In the article "Guan Ju", there is no need to use this technique. The omission of the name of King Wen of Zhou also avoids tabooing the name of the monarch."
Ma Huating responded to Zhu Ping'an with two points of view. One is the Spring and Autumn brushwork. Although the Spring and Autumn brushwork is famous for Confucius, it was used by people before Confucius. It was only named because Confucius often used this technique to write "Spring and Autumn". Spring and Autumn brushwork
It means streamlining. You can simplify names, and you can also simplify opinions and views. "Guan Ju" may have used the Spring and Autumn writing style, simplifying the names of King Wen of Zhou and Queen of Zhou, and referring to them as gentlemen and ladies.
The other is to avoid the name of the monarch. In the feudal times, in order to show majesty, the king or his relatives required people to avoid calling his name directly in speech or writing his name directly in writing, and replaced it with other words. "Guan Ju"
That's it. The names of King Wen of Zhou and Queen of Zhou are avoided and replaced by gentleman and lady.
Spring and Autumn style of writing avoids taboos about the monarch.
hehe
What a good reason.
After Ma Huating finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Ping'an triumphantly, as if he was the king of killing.
"Yes, Lord Ma, what you said makes sense."
"Master Ma, I have a great opinion. Spring and Autumn writing style is just about simplicity. It is normal to omit the names of King Wen of Zhou and Queen of Zhou. In addition, to avoid monarch taboos, this is the case now and it was also the case in ancient times. That's why "Guanju" does not write about King Wen of Zhou and his wife.
Chang, the name of Queen Zhou Taisi."
"Yes, yes, that's it. Mr. Ma has a keen eye and discovered the problem right away."
Ma Huating's words were like seeing the moon through the clouds, and he was enlightened. After he finished speaking, others suddenly realized it, as if they were waking up from a dream, and they all sighed and agreed.
"Guoliang is ashamed. Fortunately, Mr. Ma has your opinion. After today's class, if Mr. Ma is free, please make tea together and discuss "Guan Ju"."
Yang Guoliang bowed seriously to Ma Huating and invited Ma Huating to make tea and discuss "Guan Ju" together after class.
"Mr. Yang, care leads to chaos. Ma is on the outside and a bystander." Ma Huating smiled modestly.
After greeting Ma Huating, Yang Guoliang turned to Zhu Pingan and said, "Master Ma's words are Yang's words."
At this moment, Yang Guoliang felt refreshed all over his body, as if he had recovered from a serious illness. The cold sweat on his head, the cold sweat on his palms, and the dizziness were all gone. His spirits could not be better, and his whole person returned to his normal demeanor.
"What do you think, Mr. Zhu? Are you satisfied with my answer?" Ma Huating looked at Zhu Ping'an with confidence.
"No".
Zhu Ping'an curled his lips slightly and slowly shook his head.
"What? No?"
Yang Guoliang and Ma Huating were both shocked.
"The No. 1 scholar should respect basic common sense and don't force his words to make excuses." Then, Ma Huating looked at Zhu Pingan, slowly shook his head and said sarcastically.
"Ping An only speaks out because he respects basic common sense." Zhu Ping An replied calmly.
"Please enlighten me." Ma Huating's face darkened.
"It's not about teaching, it's just about discussing." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, bowed his hands to Ma Huating and Yang Guoliang, and continued, "What Mr. Ma just said about "Guan Ju" uses the Spring and Autumn style of writing to omit the names of King Wen and Queen of Zhou.
Please forgive me for disagreeing. The Spring and Autumn style of writing is a subtle statement about the big meaning, who, where, and what, but it will not omit the subject. Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" in the Spring and Autumn style, and never omitted the subject, such as "March"
, Gong and Zhu Yi’s father made an alliance in Mi’, ‘In spring, Gong’s army joined Rong in Qian’, etc.”
"What about the monarch who avoids taboos? What's your explanation?" Ma Huating asked coldly.
""Guan Ju" avoids tabooing about the monarch? This is even more nonsense. To avoid tabooing about the monarch is to avoid calling the monarch directly by his name. If it avoids tabooing about King Wen of Zhou, then avoid tabooing the word "Jichang" instead of "King Zhou Wen". And
There are two articles in the "Book of Songs" that speak directly of "King Wen", one is "Daya·Daming", the other is "Daya·Siqi", these two articles include "King Wen was first recorded, a match made in heaven", "King Wen's mother", etc.
The sentences, written in black and white, do refer to King Wen of Zhou. Oh, by the way, these two poems are also poems about the marriage of King Wen of Zhou and Queen Zhou. Dr. Yang's two poems about objects may be more in line with the theory of "the style of a king and the virtues of a concubine"
.”
Zhu Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth, slowly shook his head, and hit Ma Huating's face with a hammer one by one. Finally, he seriously suggested that Yang Guoliang examine the two poems "Daya·Daming" and "Daya·Siqi".
It hurts my heart, old man!
"Ahem"
Yang Guoliang coughed, and there was a fishy-sweet feeling in his throat.
In Yang Guoliang's opinion, Zhu Ping'an's serious look was not only dazzling, but also heartbreaking.
