Although he knew that Sima Mou was at Nanyi University and was even ready to visit the thatched cottage three times, Liu Haotian did not expect that in two days, Liu Haotian knocked on the door of Sima Mou's house five times, but he did not even see a trace of him.
Not seeing him, Liu Haotian clearly knew that Sima Mou had returned home, but the other party did not see him at all.
In desperation, Liu Haotian directly found the classroom where Sima Mou was teaching. He sat at the back and listened quietly to Sima Mou's lecture. After listening to the lecture, Liu Haotian became even more determined to kill this Sima Mou.
Please go back and be your own senior adviser.
Although Liu Haotian is only at the division level now, Liu Haotian has seen some clues from the notes of his grandfather and father. No matter how smart a person is, he cannot cope with all difficulties and all situations.
Therefore, it is so important to have a staff member with an IQ that is no weaker than yours and with super strong planning ability.
With Liu Bei's weak ability, he was able to dominate the world with Cao Cao, Sun Zhongmou and others in the great era of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang can be said to have taken the greatest credit.
The reason why father and son Li Yuan and Li Shimin were able to create the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty was indispensable to the military strategizing of Duke Xu Maogong.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to create the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in 276 years, and military Liu Bowen was indispensable.
Li Shimin was a man of great talent and strategy, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also extremely cunning and cunning, but he was so smart, but he still needed the help of top staff, not to mention himself?
Liu Haotian listened to the class quietly. When Sima Mou announced that the get out of class was over and was about to leave, Liu Haotian said loudly: "Teacher Sima, I have a question to ask you?"
Sima Mou slowly stopped and glanced at Liu Haotian coldly. With his wisdom, he had already seen that Liu Haotian was not a student in his class, and said lightly: "What's the problem?"
Liu Haotian smiled and said: "Teacher Sima, you are a master of Chinese studies. I would like to ask you for your opinion on the debate between reason and desire?"
Hearing Liu Haotian's question, a look of interest appeared on his face. At this moment, Sima Mou's students all stopped and looked quietly at their teacher and the person in front of them who was obviously not a student in the class.
.
Everyone saw the strong provocation in Liu Haotian's eyes.
Liu Haotian looked at Sima Mou quietly. The Sima Mou in front of him was about 1.75 meters tall. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes. His appearance was not very handsome, but his temperament was quite outstanding. He had a sense of being otherworldly. However, this kind of temperament was
When he closed his mouth and didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, that otherworldly temperament disappeared instantly, because in his mouth, there were two golden front teeth.
Therefore, when Sima Mou laughs, it will give people a feeling of vulgarity.
These two temperaments are mixed in one person, full of contradictions, but harmonious and unified.
Liu Haotian secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart: "It seems that this Sima Mou is really not an ordinary person. Just because he dares to vilify himself in his personality and has these two golden front teeth, it is enough to show that this person is scheming.
So deep.
Because if an ordinary feudal official comes to ask him to be a staff officer, he will definitely be given a good position, and he will even be treated as a face and a sign.
However, when Sima Mou's two front teeth come out together, it will definitely make many people feel a lot worse. This kind of personality is definitely intentional by Sima Mou. He just wants to use this method to resolve the big shots' hatred of him.
pursuit.
This is a cruel person!"
After Sima Mou heard Liu Haotian's question, his eyes towards Liu Haotian changed slightly from before.
In the past, Sima Mou looked at Liu Haotian as if he were looking at a passerby, but now, Sima Mou looked at Liu Haotian as if he was looking at an opponent.
Sima Mou suddenly smiled and asked: "Since you raised this question, I would like to ask you first, do you really understand what the core of the distinction between reason and desire is? If you don't even understand this, then I will ask you
Your explanation of the debate between reason and desire can only be regarded as playing the piano to an ox."
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "The debate between reason and desire is actually the deepening and development of the debate between justice and benefit. From a moral and ethical perspective, reason is morality, while desire is perceptual desire."
Sima Mou then asked: "Then let me ask again when the debate between reason and desire was formed, and who proposed it?"
Although Sima Mou raised this question in an understatement, Liu Haotian shuddered all over. This Sima Mou was too insidious. If ordinary people answered his question, they would definitely fall into his trap.
Even a person who is proficient in Chinese studies will not be able to answer Sima Mou's question correctly if he has not reached a certain level.
Because this problem has a very deep trap.
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "There are two important categories in our Chinese ethical thought, namely natural principles and human desires.
Reason is an inevitable law and criterion. When it is opposed to desire, it mainly refers to moral principles and norms, while desire mainly refers to people's desire for material life.
The opposition between reason and desire was first seen in the book "Book of Rites. Leli". The content of the original text is: likes and dislikes are not controlled internally, and knowledge and temptation are external. If you cannot resist, the laws of nature will be destroyed. The touching of things is endless, and
If people's likes and dislikes are unruly, then they are material and people turn things into things. When people turn things into things, they destroy the laws of nature and make people poor.
In the pre-Qin period, there were ideas such as indulgence in lust, no desire and abstinence. The concept that was opposite to desire at that time was Tao.
By the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the relationship between reason and desire became a central issue in ethical discussions at that time.
The debate between reason and desire in Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming dynasties was formed during the reigns of Zhang Zai and Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, and was culminated in Zhu Xi and Wang Shouren.
Zhang Zai connected the issue of reason and desire with the issue of human nature. He believed that the nature of heaven and earth is the embodiment of heaven's principle, and the nature of temperament is the expression of human desire. He opposed heaven's principle and human's desire, advocated returning to heaven's principle and opposed partiality to human desire.
Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi also connected the issue of reason and desire with the so-called "Tao mind" and "human heart" passed down by ancient sages. They believed that "Tao mind" is the source of heavenly principles and good, and "human heart" is the source of human desire and evil.
Zhu Xi strictly distinguished the desire for reason and believed that "if the principles of heaven exist, humans will want to perish; if humans want to win, the principles of heaven will perish." The two are absolutely opposite and cannot coexist. He clearly pointed out that the principles of heaven are the benevolence, justice, etiquette, and wisdom of feudal society, which are the three cardinal principles and five constant principles. The principles of nature are the most important.
Good, human desires lead to evil. He asked people to "eliminate human desires and restore the laws of nature."
Wang Shouren of the Ming Dynasty also asked people to "remember to put aside human desires and preserve the principles of nature when they are quiet, and think about them when they are active, to discard human desires and preserve the principles of nature," so that "their minds are pure of the principles of nature and do not have the clutter of human desires."
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Sima Mou's eyes moved slightly. From Liu Haotian's answer just now, he could tell that the tall young man in front of him had bad intentions and had been prepared for it.
Sima Mou nodded slightly: "Yes, it's very well said. It cleverly avoids the trap of my question."
Liu Haotian smiled slightly and said provocatively: "Then, Mr. Sima, what do you think about this matter?"
Sima Mou glanced at Liu Haotian coldly and said with a smile: "The debate between reason and desire is the main content of personal values in our traditional culture.
Although the whole country it emphasizes has specific historical content and limitations, the collective interests it emphasizes are higher than individual interests, the principles of putting public before private, abstinence based on reason, and considering the overall situation are in line with the socialism we advocate today.
An important content of collectivism. At the same time, it advocates benefiting others but not oneself, and fulfilling emotions and desires. This consistency of "profit" and "righteousness", "reason" and "desire" is also very characteristic of socialist collectivism.
Attention?
Socialist collectivism includes two important principles, one is the principle that collective interests are higher than individual interests; the other is the principle of collective care and attention to individual interests.
Regarding the relationship between collective interests and personal interests, Taizu once pointed out: In the socialist period, it is necessary to take into account the interests of the country, the collective and the individual, and also put national interests and collective interests first. Personal interests
Subordinate to collective interests, local interests to overall interests, and immediate interests to long-term interests.
Today, the market economy is aimed at pursuing profits. Due to the demand for market exchange, the role and status of money have been greatly improved. In addition, the continuous adjustment and reorganization of the interest structure has stimulated people's desire and pursuit of material desires to a certain extent.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with reasonable pursuit of material desires. The purpose of socialism is to vigorously develop productive forces and greatly satisfy people's material needs in order to realize the comprehensive and free development of people. Therefore, legitimate personal interests are an important force in promoting social and economic development.
.Personal interests and partial interests obtained through honest labor should be affirmed.
However, the pursuit of "profit" and "desire" must be carried out under the constraints of "righteousness", "reason" and "rules". Without such constraints, not only will most people's material interests not be realized and satisfied,
Moreover, the entire economic order will become chaotic. Therefore, we must not put personal interests and local interests above collective interests and overall interests, because collective interests themselves include legitimate personal interests and long-term partial interests.
What we call "collective" is a collective that represents the interests of all members. It essentially embodies all individual and partial interests. If there are conflicts, it is for the benefit of the country and the collective, for the benefit of the people, and for the benefit of all advanced people with revolutionary consciousness.
Members should sacrifice their own interests when necessary.
Only in this way can we handle the relationship between the country, the collective and the individual well. Therefore, we should carry forward the traditional spirit of socialist collectivism that fully embodies the spirit of the times, and insist on using the principles of socialist collectivism as the basic values in our spiritual life.
and value orientation. Only when the reform of the socialist market economy and the construction of spiritual civilization are combined with this value orientation can they develop healthily."
After Sima Mou finished speaking, Liu Haotian had a look of shock on his face. If his previous impressions of Sima Mou were only based on other people's introductions, then at this moment, Liu Haotian's understanding of Sima Mou has risen to a whole new level.
level.
Liu Haotian could see that Sima Mou definitely belonged to the kind of peerless scholar who learned both Chinese and Western knowledge and integrated the ancient and modern.
In Sima Mou's brief discussion just now, he actually quoted the classic discussions of many national leaders, and during his speech, he did not make any mistakes in the whole process, and everything was taken at his fingertips.
Liu Haotian is very clear that in order to achieve this, there is a minimum requirement, that is, the content he has seen and learned must be deeply imprinted in his mind. Only by reaching the level of photographic memory can he achieve this.
a little.
The reason why Liu Haotian was able to answer Sima Mou's question so easily and avoid the trap was because Liu Haotian also had a deep understanding of this issue.
At this moment, Sima Mou's performance made Liu Haotian truly realize that the young professor in front of him definitely had real talent and learning.
At this moment, the students were all dumbfounded. You must know that Nanyi University is also a famous school with 985 and 211, and its ranking is very high. These students have a very solid knowledge base, and there is Sima Mou, a top teacher in front of them.
Leading the way, there are many masters among his students.
But even so, these people were all stunned when they listened to the conversation between their teacher and the black iron tower-like figure in front of them.
Because what the two of them discussed far exceeded the amount of knowledge they had.
Liu Haotian rolled his eyes and suddenly said with a smile: "Professor Sima, for your answer just now, I give you 100 points. You are indeed a master."
Sima Mou said coldly: "If there is nothing else, I will go back."
Liu Haotian immediately said: "Professor Sima, don't worry, I have something else to ask you?"
Sima Mou looked at Liu Haotian sideways.
Liu Haotian said: "Professor Sima, I heard that some provincial leaders came here because of your reputation and wanted to ask you to serve as their senior adviser and contribute to the development of the country, but you rejected them all.
However, from what I know, although you are talented and have become a professor at the age of 32, you have no house and only a shabby Highlander. So, what do you think?
Wouldn't it be too much of a waste of your talent to stay in teaching at the university?"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Sima Mou immediately understood what Liu Haotian meant. He looked Liu Haotian up and down and said coldly: "Young man, everyone has their own pursuit, and what I pursue is peace of mind. As for
For material things, just let nature take its course.
As for the leaders of the provincial party committee asking me to come out, it is just some farce. I don't like to be restrained by others, and I don't like to watch those people who are just pretending to give advice. For those reeds on the wall that are top-heavy and have shallow roots, and the bamboo shoots in the mountains have sharp mouths.
I am full of contempt from the bottom of my heart for people who are thick-skinned and hollow-bellied.
Therefore, I would rather settle for the status quo and be a teacher in the university. Isn’t this great?”
Liu Haotian suddenly said loudly: "Professor Sima, I would like to ask you to come out and be my senior counselor."
Sima Mou laughed heartily: "Young man, are you kidding me? You look younger than me and not much older than my students? But you want me to serve you. Why do you think so?"
?”
Liu Haotian smiled confidently: "Just because of my talent, I am no worse than you.
If you are not convinced, you can choose whatever academic field you are good at. If I lose to you, I will turn around and leave immediately.
Of course, if you lose, you have to follow me.
How about it, Professor Sima, do you dare to accept my challenge?"
When the students around him heard Liu Haotian's provocation, they immediately became excited. They had full confidence in their professor. They had also heard for a long time that their professor was knowledgeable in both Chinese and Western learning, integrating ancient and modern times. Therefore, the students started shouting: "Teacher Sima,
Compared with him. In our Nanda, who is better?"
All of a sudden, all kinds of shouts and boos came and went.
Sima Mou never dreamed that the young man in front of him, who was younger than himself, would actually challenge him in front of so many of his students and let him choose a field at will.
Sima Mou was really angry at Liu Haotian...
Sima Mou nodded lightly, and while Liu Haotian chuckled: "Young man, from the temperament exuding on your face, I can tell that you should be a person in the officialdom, and your rank is not low. If I
If your guess is correct, you should be a cadre at the senior level."
After Sima Mou finished speaking, he stared at Liu Haotian with a smile.
Liu Haotian nodded slightly and gave a thumbs up: "Professor Sima, you are indeed brilliant."
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Sima Mou's students were all shocked.
In their opinion, Liu Haotian was only a year or two older than them, but they never expected that this man had already reached the rank of director and wanted to recruit their professor to be a senior counselor.
This guy doesn't seem to be a simple character.
Although Sima Mou expressed his guess, he actually meant to praise Liu Haotian by saying so. Deep down in his heart, he believed that Liu Haotian was just a virgin if he was strangled to death.
But I didn't expect that I actually guessed it right.
Sima Mou looked at the excitement among the students around him and asked him to suppress the arrogant man in front of him. Sima Mou nodded: "Young man, you are the weirdest person I have ever met who wants to invite me to come out."
, you actually dare to challenge me in front of my students, you are very scheming.
In this case, I accept your challenge.
As the saying goes, if you don't have a good appearance, then you will have a good doctor.
Since you know that my expertise is in the field of Chinese studies, you should also know that Chinese medicine culture is also a part of our Chinese culture. In ancient times, many masters of Chinese medicine were also masters of Chinese studies."
At this point, Sima Mou pointed at a girl in the student group and said: "If you can cure her disease, I will go with you. If you can't cure her, don't come to me in the future. I will only give you
It will take three days to take effect."
After Sima Mou finished speaking, all the students looked at the girl in surprise.
The girl also had a look of astonishment on her face. He knew that she was sick, but she never told anyone else. Why did Professor Sima know that he was sick? You know, her illness lasted for seven years.
In the past eight years, she had been to many major hospitals in the province and even Kyoto City, but she had never been cured. In the end, she had to give up.
Liu Haotian looked at the girl. She was about 20 years old, with a slim figure and beautiful appearance. From the appearance, her development was very normal, she was well-nourished, she wore light makeup, and there was nothing wrong with her appearance.
Sima Mou saw the stern expression on Liu Haotian's face, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In his opinion, since Liu Haotian is a member of the officialdom and has reached a high position in the officialdom at such a young age, there is only one possibility, that is, Liu Haotian is extremely good at maneuvering, and how can someone who is good at maneuvering be willing to devote himself to learning?
?
Especially Chinese medicine, which is definitely a study of experience and does not have more than 10 years of accumulation. It is very difficult to achieve the purpose of syndrome differentiation and treatment through observation, hearing, asking and perceiving.
Liu Haotian looks like he is only 27 or 28 years old now, so how can he have time to study Chinese medicine?
He just wanted to make Liu Haotian quit in this way.
However, Sima Mou never expected that after Liu Haotian listened to his request, he walked up to the girl without saying a word. It was a girl who stretched out her wrist and put it on the desk. Liu Haotian put three fingers on the girl's pulse.
Go up and quietly feel the changes in your pulse.
After a while, Liu Haotian looked at the girl's tongue coating again, and suddenly said: "If my guess is correct, do you often feel itchy skin, and often scratch the itchy parts of your limbs with your hands, and those itchy parts of your body...
It should look dry and rough, with skin flaking from time to time, and the skin in these areas is slightly hard and less elastic.
You like to wear stockings just to cover up these itchy parts, right?"
The girl's face turned red immediately, but she nodded slightly.
Liu Haotian felt the pulse again, and then said: "You should rarely sweat, and you often feel hot and bothered, especially when the weather is hot, or it becomes more obvious after eating spicy food, and the itching of your skin gets worse, right?"
The girl and the female classmates in the same dormitory with her all stared at Liu Haotian with their eyes wide open and their faces filled with disbelief.
Because her female classmates know very well that this girl never eats spicy food. Whenever she eats spicy food, she will keep scratching some parts of her body, which looks very painful.
Sima Mou also had a look of surprise on his face, because he could see that Liu Haotian must have been right, otherwise the girl and the sisters next to her should not have such expressions.
The girl looked at Liu Haotian expectantly and said, "Doctor, can this disease of mine be cured? I've been struggling with it for eight full years. It's so painful! Even those big hospitals in JD.com can't do anything about my disease.
."
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "The reason why your disease has not been cured as soon as possible is very simple. It is because in Western medicine, you can at most be diagnosed as a skin disease, and skin diseases are generally caused by fungi, so Western medicine
The main treatment idea is sterilization.
But in fact, using Western medicine treatments can at most give you some relief during the medication period, and then relapse immediately after stopping the medication."
The girl nodded quickly: "That's right, that's right."
Liu Haotian continued: "Actually, if you go to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, as long as you meet someone with a little bit of skill, your disease can actually be cured.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, your disease is a syndrome of deficiency of shaoyin and yang, cold and superficial muscle contraction. You can use the Maxin Fuzi Decoction in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases to help the yang penetrate the surface. However, if your limbs are itchy without sweating, you will not suffer much.
Although the disease has been delayed for eight or nine years, it still has not been cured, which means that there are still wind evils in your body that have been stagnation on the surface of the skin for a long time, and the Yingwei is unable to resist the evils. You can use Gui Ma Decoction of half and half to mix the Yingwei, induce sweating and dispel wind, and the medicine is simple and effective.
So, after a comprehensive weighing, I will prescribe you a prescription, one dose per day, guaranteed to be effective in three days."
While talking, Liu Haotian borrowed a pen and a piece of paper from the table next to him and wrote the prescription: 10 grams of cinnamon twig, 10 grams of ephedra, 10 grams of white peony root, 10 grams of almonds, 3 slices of ginger, and jujube.
4 pieces, 3 grams of licorice.
While handing the prescription to the girl, Liu Haotian said: "If nothing else happens, after taking this prescription for three days, you will feel physically and mentally comfortable, and your trunk and upper limbs will sweat slightly. At this time, you will still take this prescription for another three days."
, by that time the whole body should be sweating slightly, and all symptoms should disappear. In order to consolidate the curative effect, reduce the dose of the original prescription by 30% and take it for three more days. The disease should be cured within 10 days.
For Western medicine, your disease is a difficult and complicated disease, but for Chinese medicine, as long as the dialectics are accurate and the medicine is used properly, it is not difficult to cure the disease. So, don’t think that Chinese medicine has fallen behind, let alone think that Chinese medicine has fallen behind.
It’s unscientific. Traditional Chinese medicine is the treasure of our Chinese nation, and it is the traditional medicine that has protected our Chinese nation for thousands of years. From ancient times to the present, how many emperors and generals have relied on Chinese medicine to treat their illnesses!”
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.
Sima Mou walked up to the girl with a serious expression, stretched out his hand to feel the girl's pulse, then showed an expression of sudden realization, and looked at Liu Haotian with a complicated expression.
At this moment, he really had a headache. Because based on his pulse diagnosis results and the theory Liu Haotian just said, the best prescription he could prescribe was Liu Haotian's prescription.
The girl admired Sima Mou very much and asked: "Teacher Sima, should I take this prescription or not?"
Sima Mou nodded: "Take it. This prescription is very accurate. It should be able to cure the disease."
The girl suddenly became excited and didn't even attend class. She grabbed the prescription tightly and ran out quickly.
This itchy skin has been bothering her for eight years. She doesn't want to wait any longer, so she just skips classes.
Girl, who doesn’t love beauty!
The girl left, but the atmosphere at the scene became a little strange.
These students of Sima Mou all looked at Sima Mou because Sima Mou's last words just now were equivalent to admitting that he lost.
Does Teacher Sima really want to become a senior counselor with this man who is younger than Teacher Sima?
Liu Haotian also looked at Sima Mou, waiting for Sima Mou's answer.
