The wedding, which was overly lively due to a vision from the sky, was over. Li Shushi, who felt there was no need to stay, decided to say goodbye to Zhen Yi and Zhen Yan, who officially took over as the head of the Zhen family after the wedding, and then returned home.
Because Zhen Yi had already decided at the family meeting that the Zhen family would undergo a limited split, so although Zhen Yan still had a somewhat worried look on her face, she did not make any drastic moves. Instead, she would soon follow Li Shushi.
Heading to Xihe
The third brother Zhen Yao called to his side, and he didn't know what he was admonishing. But from Zhen Yao's serious attitude and the way he nodded from time to time, it must be the way of being an official passed down by some children of aristocratic families. It seems that there are several brothers and sisters in the Zhen family.
Personal relationships are good.
"Yarao, it is a very good opportunity for you to go to Xihe to learn from Lu Ziqian. Lu Ziqian is a disciple of the great Confucian Ma Rong and a junior fellow student of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan. He has also studied in Dongguan School for many years. He is as knowledgeable as his master and
Senior brother's great scholar. If you study with him, you will forget your illusions about getting high-ranking officials and rich salaries, and concentrate on learning knowledge. This is the best way for your family to survive forever."
Zhen Yi also gave Zhen Yao some concluding remarks at the end, especially telling him not to think about how big an official he could be, but to learn more about various knowledge and skills, and strive to become a person who can write popular works.
Confucian scholars who wrote the works of later generations.
Zhen Yi's words were not just casual remarks, but meant something. And they involved the biggest political struggle among the upper class of the Han Dynasty from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present day. It was not about eunuchs and relatives, nor eunuchs and celebrities, but
It's a battle of orthodoxy.
Ideological battles have always been more ferocious and tragic than the battles of the Japanese. Because for those who believe in the torture of the Japanese, the torture of the Japanese is nothing, even in the Han Dynasty, the number of those who died and the martyrs
It's not much less than during the Republic of China. For example, Chen Yi, whom Li Shushi saw at his wedding banquet, was protected and grew up by a group of righteous men.
But a spiritual battle is completely different. If one of the parties loses, it will be equivalent to their own ideas being completely subverted. People who suffer such a blow usually have only two endings. They are not schizophrenic and become antisocial.
The thug becomes a walking corpse, living in this world like a living dead.
And now the big Han is engaged in such a fierce war on the spiritual level.
The name of this war is—the dispute between ancient and modern classics.
Many things in the Eastern Han Dynasty can be blamed on the Western Han Dynasty. In addition, Wang Mang's chaos in the government did not last too long. In fact, you can look at the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties together. Although it is due to bloodline issues
, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties were not like the Li and Tang Dynasties. Even after being cut off by Wu and Zhou Dynasties, they were still not divided into the Later and Later Tang Dynasties.
Just like the dispute between modern and ancient classics, if you want to trace the origin, you can go back from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the founding of the Western Han Dynasty - before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Well, it was just before this, because the trigger for this incident was our Emperor Yingzheng's children's shoes.
It is impossible to say that our First Emperor V5 is domineering, because the Qin State has tasted the sweetness of standardization, so it likes to standardize everything, from the same writing in books to the same track in cars, all the way to the ultimate ideological unification.
Unifying thoughts is not easy to say, and it seems even more difficult to do. So what amazing and unique methods will our V5 domineering First Emperor have?
This may disappoint everyone, but the answer is: No. Although our Emperor V5 is extremely domineering, in front of the most complex brain in the world, it is estimated that Emperor Shi Huang didn’t even understand that part of his own body, let alone
Unify the micro-current signals generated by millions of structures that are probably not much simpler than his.
Of course, this does not mean that Ying Zheng's children's shoes can't be helped, but that his method is so normal and ordinary that it makes people sigh. What is his method? His method has been well known to the Chinese through Sima Qian's pen.
That is - burning books.
If the Confucianism of cheating Confucianism is still open to question, then Yingzheng's children's shoes did not run away when it came to burning books. He ordered the collection of books scattered among the people from the six countries, and burned those that were not beneficial to him.
There is no harm in sending it to the Daqin National Library for the academicians of the Daqin National Academy of Sciences (that is, those Ph.D.s in the Qin Dynasty who specialize in teaching knowledge in official schools) to study and understand.
Considering the bad relationship between Confucianism represented by Confucius and the primitive Legalists (that is, the wild Legalists before Xun Kuang became a Dacheng, such as Shang Yang), especially Confucius' concept of "benevolence, careful killing" and the Qin Dynasty have been handed down since Shang Yang's reform.
The governing policy of increasing the cost of crime in order to reduce the cost of crime is completely opposite to the opposite direction. In addition, it is propaganda material for an enemy country, so I am afraid that various rhetoric about the Qin Empire is indispensable in those Confucian classics.
Moreover, at that time in the Great Qin Empire, there was a struggle between the Qin Legalists headed by Li Si and the Confucian scholars of the Six Kingdoms over the ruling line and power. With Li Si's ruthlessness, Han Fei, his fellow disciple, could not survive, let alone those very powerful people.
The Confucian scholars were no longer interested in the First Emperor. So a vigorous collection campaign began, as if it were a special period.
The First Emperor won, so the Qin Dynasty initially had only one thought, one voice, and one library. Then this library became the best firewood for Xiang Yu to light. Although Xiao He should have grabbed a lot of it before, it was mainly for administrative purposes.
Most of the household registers and geographical atlases of mountains and rivers were completely destroyed by Xiang Yu, who looked like a murderer with a thousand cuts.
As a result, after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, everyone suddenly discovered that the majestic Han Dynasty could not even collect university lectures. A lot of knowledge only knew the titles of books. As for what the books looked like, they had never seen them. What should we do?
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, so the Han Dynasty issued an order that as long as you have the books that the Han Dynasty needs in your hands or in your mind, no matter where you are or who you are, you will have the opportunity to work in the National Academy of Sciences.
, established in public institutions, with complete benefits and benefits, and even a special car to pick you up and drop off. It’s better to take action than to move your heart. Call the XXXX hotline as soon as possible.
As a result, lucky people continued to enter the bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty, and the officially recognized textbooks of the Han Dynasty written by these people based on the collection of books they retained in their hands or the memories in their own minds in the popular Han Dynasty are the basis of Jinwen Jingxue.
.
Precisely because the rewards were so rich, the National Library of Han Dynasty soon became larger after several generations of accumulation. People who like knowledge can swim in it to their heart's content. It's just because more and more people are swimming in it.
, problems also arise.
Because many people found that the knowledge they had previously learned from those official doctors of the Han Dynasty (that is, academicians of the Academy of Sciences) seemed incomplete, and the contents of many books in the library were things they had never heard of or seen before, so they began to doubt
Has he lost some of what his master taught him, whether intentionally or unintentionally?
Among them, the most famous pioneer official was Liu Xin during the reign of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, a man with extensive knowledge but very different historical evaluations.
The first thing to explain is that this man came from a very good background and was a member of the Han clan, but his relationship was relatively distant. His father was a very knowledgeable Confucian scholar, and he was the first person in China to compile a city catalog of books.
scholar, so Liu Xin was outstanding in terms of family education, not to mention that he later inherited his father's position in managing the National Library of Han Dynasty.
It was this father and son who proposed that the ancient classics were probably much richer than those circulated in the contemporary (Han Dynasty), so scholars should focus on the discovered ancient classics when studying, supplemented by the oral records of Confucian scholars. This is
, which is the origin of ancient classics, while modern classics is a term relative to ancient classics. From this, the two major schools began to take shape.
However, this proposal was first opposed by those Confucian scholars who had already become Ph.D.s. After all, if that happened, they would obviously be swept into the garbage dump of history and become useless losers. Those with vested interests would naturally be dissatisfied.
And another problem is Liu Xin's personal character. Rumor has it that Liu Xin is very knowledgeable but has a very bad character. What he likes to do most is to bring in private goods. That is, those things that he brought out to prove the pre-Qin period.
The academic works are indeed relatively rich in examples and mixed with many of his personal articles and opinions.
Whether it is true or not, we don’t care. After all, his opponents sneered at him, and his supporters regarded him as a sage. Therefore, the truth of history has long been buried under a stone in the mud at the bottom of the long river of history.
.
However, due to the opposition of those with vested interests in the modern classics school, the so-called reform of ancient classics came to an end.
It was only when Xin Mang came that some changes occurred. Wang Mang naturally could not adopt the theories of the Han Dynasty rulers when he usurped power, so in order to suppress the modern school of classics, ancient classics officially became a cultural school recognized by the state. Then Liu Xiu
After defeating Wang Mang, Liu Xiu, who liked to confront Wang Mang, naturally could not admit the enemy's doctrine, so Jinwen Confucianism revived.
But after so much trouble, the classics have changed a bit. Why? The bad thing lies in the prophecies.
There is an old saying: When Emperor Gaozu killed the White Snake and revolted, it was called the Red Emperor's son killing the White Emperor's son. Later, there were dreams of swallowing the sun, moon, stars, etc., with rainbows piercing the sun, comets transiting the sun, and so on. Children's ballads emerged one after another.
.
In order to flaunt his legitimacy on behalf of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang naturally created a set of theories to prove that he should rule on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
But since you did the first grade of junior high school, then don't worry about me doing the fifteenth grade. So those opponents also came up with a set of theories. The most typical one is Wang Mang's appearance - when he was respectful to the corporal, he was obviously a very virtuous man.
His appearance. As his ambition was buried with his time, it was spread that he was a man with a big mouth, short jaw, red eyes and a loud and hoarse voice.
Too many prophecies are naturally annoying, but because it is a knowledge respected by ruling scholars, it is very difficult to oppose it. Therefore, the suppressed ancient scholars decided to adopt a curve to save the country to achieve their goals.
So they actively infiltrated into the Jinwen Classics and became Confucian scholars who have studied ancient and modern times. Although they did not obtain high official positions, they relied on their knowledge to become great Confucian scholars respected by the Confucian community, and their reputation among the people exceeded those of those who studied classics.
Jin Wen Jing
Among them, Zheng Xing, Jia Kui (from Fufeng), Ma Rong, and Zheng Xuan are the most popular. Although Lu Zhi is a little worse than the previous few, he is also an extremely rare all-rounder in civil and military affairs, so Zhen Yi moved
I came up with the idea of sending my son to study.
By the way, the current mainstream of the court is still dominated by Confucian scholars of Jinwen Classics, such as the Yuan family of Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong (anyway, these two are the targets. Basically, the bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty cannot be separated from these two.
Home).
That's why Zhen Yi warned her son to study with Lu Zhi, and don't think about how big an official he can become. The knowledge that can be passed down is the most important thing. Of course, one of the reasons Zhen Yi didn't want to say is that the ancestor of the Zhen family, Zhen Yi,
Han's father-in-law Kong Guang was Wang Mang's right-hand man, and he also contributed to the establishment of the sect of ancient classics. So, it's just inheritance...
Finally, before leaving, Zhen Yan secretly told Li Shushi that the Prime Minister of Zhongshan had heard of Li Shushi for a long time, but he was busy with military affairs and could not come, so he asked someone to write to Zhen Yan, hoping to say hello to Li Shushi through him.
See you before.
So, after adding a few more fuel bottles, the troubled trip to Wuji was finally over.
p.s. The debate between ancient and modern classics is definitely not as simple as we say. At least the book written by Professor Bian Jiazhen, who teaches Chinese at our university, gave us hundreds of thousands of words, and it is just a family opinion. So
, in fact, this eloquent chapter can be summarized in one sentence - digging holes and burying pipes for the protagonist's future political direction...
