218, Mr. Pao Pao is not called in vain (please complete the order)
"When beauty and youth become famous, it is better to be modest."
Lin Shu nodded, feeling very satisfied.
He valued Bai Gui not only because Bai Gui wrote the two masterpieces "The Qin Empire" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel", but also because of what Bai Gui had done recently, going to teach in a girls' school, but he was worried about it.
The difference between men and women is consistent with his thoughts. The more he looks at it, the more he feels that Bai Gui is his old friend.
You must know that before the Restoration, he wrote books such as "Prospering Women's Studies".
But he is a traditional literati at heart. He not only admires women's studies, but also follows tradition, and Bai Gui's actions are exactly in line with his ideas...
Bai Gui was so humble at this moment, and he was even more satisfied.
Everyone prefers a humble junior to an arrogant junior.
"Bai Meihe is fine with everything, but she is too cautious..."
Gu Tangsheng shook his head, "This has earned me the nickname Mr. Running. If you tell me about it, you will be laughed at."
When Bai Gui heard this, he didn't take it seriously either.
Everyone in the industry knows that Gu Tangsheng has a bad mouth, but he has a good heart. And generally speaking, people with venomous mouths are more tolerant of them.
As the three of them talked, they inevitably talked about Confucianism.
"I think there should be New Confucianism now. In the pre-Qin period, Confucianism was divided into eight schools, such as Xunzi's Confucianism, which was called New Confucianism by people at the time..., and then there was Dong Xue. Dong Zhongshu combined the six arts with Confucius's art, and the monarchy
Divine instruction, the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, Confucianism unified hundreds of schools of thought, and then in the Han Dynasty, there was also the theology of prophecy..."
"The foundation and outline of Taoism in the Song and Ming Dynasties were established by Han Yu and Li Ao in the Tang Dynasty. Later, there were Lianxi, Kangjie, and Hengqu schools. However, the definite establishment of Taoism in the Song and Ming Dynasties must be attributed to the Cheng brothers.
…”
"Traditional Confucianism has an inner sage and an outer king. I think the 'outer kings' are Mr. De and Mr. Sai. New Confucianism, that is, the school of "inner sage" created the "new outer king" of Mr. De and Mr. Sai..."
"The specific method can be through "conscience self-entrapment", so that..."
(Kang Jie refers to Shao Yong. Shao Yong was a Neo-Confucian in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his posthumous name was Kang Jie.)
Bai Gui said.
After the abdication of the Qing Dynasty, the current ideological world is in chaos, especially Confucianism, which is a bit confused and does not know where to go. Regarding current knowledge, except for the Confucian classics mentioned in the Chinese literature, all other knowledge is Western learning. This is certainly the result of a weak country trying to strengthen itself.
The act of breaking an arm...
But if Confucianism is completely abolished like this, it would be inappropriate. Leaving aside Neo-Confucianism, Mr. Yangming’s philosophy of mind has also been abolished. China’s humanistic core will be lacking too much in the future...
What he was referring to at this time was a future trend of Neo-Confucianism.
The first generation of pioneers were Mr. Liang Shuming and others.
It's just that what he proposed was more advanced than Liang Shuming and others, because everyone was in the exploratory stage, and his theoretical basis came from later generations.
In addition, there is no need to worry about Bai Gui taking the lead. A trend of thought is followed by countless people. There is no one person who can be arbitrary forever. Just like Neo-Confucianism, it has been pioneered from generation to generation. There is no situation where one person writes a book and hundreds of schools of thought are silent.
.
"What Meihe said makes sense."
Lin Shu nodded.
"That's why I plan to study abroad. I want to find a way to learn knowledge abroad."
Bai Gui sighed, "In the Qin State in the pre-Qin period, Lao Qianlong implemented the New Deal during the reign of Duke Xiang of Qin, and led the country for a long time with great achievements. However, after Shang Yang came to Qin, Lao Qianlong became an enemy blocking the way for reform..."
"If it doesn't change for a while, it will be the old law. We need to remember it."
he said.
Lin Shu and others also nodded.
Aren’t the Westernizationists the pioneers of reform? But they were not as good as the Reformers, they were conservatives, and now the Reformers are the Old Schools...
"Meihe is right. Yan Laoqi used to be Zhang Xiangshuai's staff and translated Tianyan Lun, but now he is also scolded..."
Several people shook their heads and laughed.
"In this case, you two don't have to persuade me in the future."
"I also want to tell everyone that I, Bai Meihe, will be studying abroad in a few days, so don't bother me anymore..."
Bai Gui said.
Lin Shu and Gu Tangsheng in front of me are both domestic celebrities.
With them speaking out, his subsequent days will be much cleaner.
These two people seem to be in the opposition, and their official status is not as high as that of Bai Xiongqi. But in fact, they are very famous and have many friends. And the celebrities in society are all related, and they play a stronger role in some things than Bai Xiongqi.
Quite a few.
"Okay, let's wait for Meihe to write a "Book of Shang Jun" by you."
Lin Shu rubbed his hands and smiled.
The tyranny of Qin has been criticized for a hundred generations, and Qin laws have been used in all ages. The "Book of Shang Jun" is the book that confirms the laws of Qin. This sentence was a curse word among Confucians in the old times, because the Book of Shang Jun was not very good in the eyes of Confucians, but
However, this sentence follows what Bai Gui said about New Confucianism. New Confucianism is not only Confucianism, but also draws on the theories of hundreds of Chinese schools of thought. Therefore, this sentence is actually a compliment.
"Since Mr. Weilu said this, I will resign."
Bai Gui breathed a sigh of relief and resigned.
Some invitations can be rejected, and some cannot be rejected. For example, if you refuse some invitations sent by officials, rejecting them will prove that you are a clean stream and not burdened by worldly dignitaries. Most people care about their official reputation and will not mind it too much, but if they are in the opposition and famous,
If you don't go when invited by a wise man, you won't be noble and you will be considered aloof...
Lin Shu is not an official, so if Bai Gui has no excuse, it is inevitable to come.
Seeing Bai Gui resigning, Lin Shu could only sigh softly and asked Bai Gui to go out.
Wait until Bai Gui goes far away.
He smiled and said: "I originally thought that Bai Mei and Mr. Running were fake, but now it seems that they are indeed true."
…
After coming out of Lin's house.
As soon as Bai Gui returned to Bai Mansion, a servant sent by Bai Mansion sent an invitation to a dinner party at Jin Mansion.
"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."
"In the Jin Mansion, there will be a small banquet in three days and a large banquet in seven days. I don't know how much money it will cost."
He held the gilded invitation and shook his head.
It's just this invitation, lined with silk, and the words are written in gold powder. An invitation probably costs one or two silver dollars. Of course, this is a gold invitation used by the Jin Mansion to invite distinguished guests. If it is an ordinary guest, it will be used.
Invitations are much more ordinary.
"Old Li, prepare your horses, I want to go out."
Bai Gui said.
Although he recited these two lines of Du Gongbu's poem, it does not mean that he is really lofty. Didn't Du Gongbu once write, "In the morning, I will seize the door of a rich man, in the evening, I will follow the fat horse dust, with broken cups and cold food, I will hide everywhere."
Sadness," this poem.
Soon after, Lao Li brought the white horse over.
"You have taken good care of me during this period. One silver dollar in addition to your monthly salary will be used as money to hire a groom. There is also your grandson, who is not young now. I will write a letter and ask you to take him to primary school."
Bai Gui looked at the well-raised tall white horse with a hint of admiration in his eyes and said casually.
