Little White Rabbit, how do you honor benevolence and righteousness?
Those who are qualified to come to the merit banquet.
Naturally, they have obtained the qualifications for the government examination.
Not to mention anything else, in their respective academies, they must be top-notch.
His mind is also quite mature.
However, Gu Changsheng never expected that a real little white rabbit would sneak in at this banquet.
All I can say is that Qingshui Academy is indeed Qingshui Academy.
Shaking his head and looking at Bai Ren's astonished eyes, Gu Changsheng waved his hands and said: "Brother, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I don't know if you have any questions. I will try my best to help you find an answer."
"However, brother, don't have too high expectations."
Gu Changsheng paused and said seriously.
"My little brother, I haven't determined my own sutra yet. I have only briefly touched on the meaning of the sutra, but I haven't gone into it in depth."
Bai Ren nodded and looked at Gu Changsheng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"As expected of Brother Gu! Before the meaning of the scriptures has been touched upon, and before the scriptures have been confirmed, he has already stepped into the realm of the ninth rank. He is indeed an unparalleled national scholar. In this government examination, I will not be allowed to take the entrance examination. I have to meet my brother, so it can be considered as such.
Yes, it’s a worthwhile trip!”
"No...no."
Gu Changsheng has always been the one who praises others.
Even though I was praised back by others, I still expressed such sincere praise and admiration.
Gu Changsheng felt really unbearable for a moment, so he weakly and modestly said a few words. Gu Changsheng also quickly motioned for Bai Ren to speak.
And heard Bai Ren's doubts.
Gu Changsheng was also stunned.
"How to practice benevolence and righteousness?"
Gu Changsheng pondered.
Bai Ren's question is actually very simple.
When he was studying in the academy, the classic he chose was the Analects of Confucius by the most holy teacher.
The Holy Master proposed the concept of benevolence and righteousness.
What is important is to follow the two principles of benevolence and righteousness.
But, it’s specific about how to implement it.
Bai Ren always felt that there was no specific code of conduct.
Although there were many Confucian scholars in later generations who added many examples of benevolence and righteousness.
For example, Zhu Sheng's doctrine preserves heaven's principles and destroys human desires.
For example, in Dong Sheng's words, heaven and man are in harmony, and heaven and earth are kings and teachers.
They are all methods to guide people towards the realm of "benevolence and righteousness".
But Bai Ren always felt that.
"There's something missing."
Looking at Bai Ren's confused look.
Gu Changsheng pondered, a hint of enlightenment flashing in his eyes.
He probably understood what Bai Ren was thinking.
Although Confucianism in this world also values benevolence and righteousness.
But, more importantly, benevolence and righteousness are regarded as an extremely noble spiritual realm.
It is not the code of conduct in life as Gu Changsheng understood it.
This is also where Bai Ren is confused.
If we regard benevolence and righteousness as an illusory spiritual realm.
How can you tell when you have reached that point?
How can we judge that we are moving towards the realm of benevolence and righteousness in our daily lives?
But in Gu Changsheng's view.
"Benevolence and righteousness are not realms."
"It's our daily code of conduct."
"What is benevolence? What is righteousness? It is not an illusory thing, it exists among us!"
Gu Changsheng said softly.
When he heard Gu Changsheng's words, Bai Ren was stunned for a moment. There was understanding in his eyes, but he was even more confused.
"Among us? Brother, this is too exaggerated!"
It's not a vain rebuttal.
But Gu Changsheng's philosophy is completely different from the knowledge he has learned and received in the past ten years.
Gu Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "I know that in our Nankang Prefecture, there is a county named Anping and a town named Zhulin."
"There is a boss in Zhulin Town."
"If any traveling businessman who comes to his teahouse or inn to rest has a disease, he will do his best to diagnose and treat them."
"If the person dies due to illness, he will vacate a room to bury his body, and when his family members arrive, he will return his body. If the family has money left over, he will bury his body and pay for the previous medicine.
, clear the account, and if there is no money, no money will be taken from it, and the courtesy will be returned together with it, and it will never be done privately. "
"Brother thinks so."
"Can this boss's behavior be called benevolence or righteousness?"
Hear what Gu Changsheng said.
Bai Ren pondered for a moment and then said.
"If you encounter a disease, we will do our best to diagnose and treat him. If he dies due to the disease, his spirit will be laid to rest and his body will be guarded."
"This is worthy of benevolence."
"If his family has no wealth."
"I don't ask for anything in return, I just return his body and luggage, and I don't care about personal gain."
"This also can be justified."
"only……"
Bai Ren said.
But he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Brother, this kindness and righteousness are too small!"
"Xiaoren Xiaoyi?"
Gu Changsheng shook his head and smiled.
This is why he doesn't like this world, Zhu Sheng's philosophy.
Preserve heaven's principles and destroy human desires.
It is indeed miraculous in educating the world and leading people to be good.
But it also takes benevolence and righteousness too high.
sometimes.
Setting goals that are too high will not only fail to arouse people's fighting spirit, but will also arouse people's rebellious psychology.
He looked at Bai Ren, pointed at him, then at himself, and finally, motioned for him to raise his head and look at the sky above his head.
"Brother, look at you and me."
"Look again, the blue sky above our head."
"Compared to Qingtian, can you and I be considered adults?"
Bai Ren stared blankly at the sky that Gu Changsheng was pointing at.
Muttered to himself.
One pair of eyes is getting brighter and brighter!
"That's it, that's it!"
"It turns out that this is the way to practice benevolence and righteousness!"
Bai Ren's voice is getting louder and louder!
The light in a pair of eyes is becoming more and more obvious!
At the beginning.
People around are also talking about it.
After all, the title has not yet been announced.
Now is the time for everyone to get to know each other.
Taking advantage of the banquet, you toast me a toast, and I toast you a toast. Maybe in the future, one of you or I will be an official in the court, and then the friendship of toasting will become extremely precious!
But as Bai Ren's voice became louder and louder!
The banquet also became quiet.
All eyes could not help but fall on Bai Ren!
His eyes were full of surprise.
"Which brother is this, so bold and unrestrained?"
"Hey, isn't the person next to him Gu Changsheng or Gu Daxian?"
Everyone whispered and looked at each other in confusion.
Soon, someone recognized Bai Ren's identity.
"He is Qingshui Academy, the first person of this generation! It is said that he is a closed student of the current generation master of Qingshui Academy!"
"It's just, why does he look like this?"
Bai Ren's current state is overly excited.
Anyone who looks at it will be confused.
Gu Changsheng felt a little uncomfortable as he felt the gazes around him.
Just about to speak.
However, he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and the art master in the God-Sacrifice Painting Palace trembled.
Gu Changsheng immediately calmed down.
"Good guy...does this happen again?"
Gu Changsheng murmured to himself.
The cultural context of painting is trembling.
It's because I feel the presence of something similar to it.
And attract people of that cultural background.
Of course it was Bai Ren in front of Gu Changsheng!
