"I heard that the famous master has been in a state of decline since the death of Gongsun Longzi. Only when I saw Mr. Qian today did I realize that this statement was completely false."
Lu Yan sincerely admired it. It seemed that famous people were not as bad as in the anime. Gongsun Qian actually knew that the essential attribute of the world was materiality. This person was of a very high level.
"Huh! I didn't understand the meaning of the second sentence of the Patriarch's "On Name and Reality". Fortunately, he asked about the first sentence."
Gongsun Qian was sweating in his heart. In fact, he just said the sentence casually, and he would make mistakes if he said too much, so he said it very concisely, as if he had really deceived Lu Yan.
He calmed down and said respectfully: "Since I passed your test, sir, it's your turn to argue openly and honestly. A white horse is not a horse."
Of course Lu Yan couldn't break his promise. He stood up and raised three fingers, "The so-called white horse is not a horse. Back then, Gongsun Longzi had three proofs.
First, the horse is the shape of destiny; the color white is the color of destiny.
First, we clarify a horse, which is an object.
The word "horse" is used by people to define the shape of this object.
The word "white" is used by people to define the color of this object.
The word "white horse" has both of these requirements.
White horse, horse, these are clearly two different regulations, naturally, white horse is not a horse."
"Here, this Lu Yan, he really understands the teachings of my famous scholars. How is this possible?!"
Gongsun Zuo was already stupid. Considering that he was about fifty years old, this shock almost scared his teeth.
Although Gongsun Ren was surprised, he remained calm, "This is not impossible. At that time, the founder was famous all over the world, and I don't know how many people tried to defeat the theory of the White Horse. Lu Yan may have learned the Theory of the White Horse from some Confucian predecessor.
Bar."
"Secondly, the horse has nothing to do with form; the white horse has nothing to do with form.
The word "horse" includes all horses, and there is no difference in color.
The word white horse only includes white horses.
Naturally, the white horse cannot be a horse.
Third, a white horse is not a horse. A white horse is a horse and white.
White is a color, and horses do not necessarily have white color. This means that whiteness is not the essence of horses.
Horse is the essence of horse.
The white horse adds a layer of regulations to the essence of the horse.
So the white horse is not a horse.
This is what Gongsun Longzi said back then: a white horse is not a horse."
After Lu Yan finished speaking "White Horse Theory", almost everyone present could not open their mouths from ear to ear.
"This, this...why, I understand every word he said, but I can't understand even a single sentence?"
"My mind is full of horses."
"Ten thousand horses galloped past and then collectively jumped into the river. There was only water in my mind."
"Mama, mama, fuck..."
Gongsun Qian's whole body was already soaked, and he forced himself to calm down and said: "Sir, his knowledge is indeed extensive, but he doesn't seem to be able to argue that a white horse is not a horse."
Lu Yan stared into his eyes, "I've wanted to know something for a long time."
"What's up?"
"Senior Longzi's "White Horse Theory" is intended to be a more abstract concept of names, but you famous experts use it as a concrete horse debate to defeat your opponent and seek victory. This is not giving up your roots.
Seeking the end?
There are conceptual differences between a white horse and a horse, but you insist on pointing out a specific white horse to say that it is not a horse. To put it bluntly, all the books you read have gone into the horse's belly."
The more Lu Yan learns, the angrier he gets. It's such a waste of knowledge. You may not learn very well, but what's the point of using a little knowledge to deceive others?
After Gongsun Qian listened, he closed his eyes in pain.
Who wants to go out and deceive people with half-knowledge? The Gongsun family also wants to save face, but the knowledge left by the founder is too abstract and cannot be understood at all.
It had been less than twenty years since Gongsun Longzi's death. The famous figure who was so powerful in the world at that time was almost no longer recognized by many people.
Lu Yan saw that the other party closed his eyes and didn't know what he meant, so he continued: "Senior Longzi's white horse is not a horse is very subtle, but it is not completely correct. Although the white horse is not a horse, the two cannot be completely separated.
The relationship between a white horse and a horse is a relationship between individuality and commonality. A white horse is different from a horse because it has individuality, white; a white horse is also a horse, because it contains commonality, a horse.
Therefore, it is one-sided to absolutely separate the white horse and the horse. This is what I said, an upright argument. What do you think, sir?"
Gongsun Qian looked seriously at the man in front of him who said he was so embarrassed,
"Plop" he knelt down on his knees——
"The last disciple of Gongsun Qian, I would like to pay my respects to you, sir."
Lu Yan was stunned.
"I'm going to learn from Gongsun Ren and pay my respects to you, sir."
"Grandmaster Gongsun Zuo, I would like to pay my respects to you, sir."
"I am the last student of Gongsun Yuan, and I would like to pay my respects to you, sir."
"Gongsun Linglong, meet sir."
Two old men with frosty hair, a young man, and a little girl all knelt down in front of Lu Yan.
He was shocked, "You, what are you doing?"
Gongsun Ren's turbid eyes were filled with tears, and he raised his hands to Lu Yan: "My father has passed away, but no one in the Gongsun family can acquire the subtleties of knowledge. Now that I have met Mr. Gongsun, the Gongsun family is willing to take Mr. as their teacher for generations to come, and they only ask for one or two of them."
Please give me some advice, I hope sir will help you."
Lu Yan reacted, "Senior Long Zi is..."
Gongsun Ren replied: "It's my father."
Lu Yan hurriedly helped the two old men up first, "Please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
Gongsun Qian suddenly interjected, "Mr. Cai just scolded him. His concentration is as sharp as a knife. He is not unwilling to learn, but his actual talent is limited. He only knows a little about "The Theory of White Horse", and he knows nothing about "The Theory of Name and Reality". He is guilty of hiding."
Lu Yan was surprised, you just said that the world is material, why do you know nothing about it again?
"Didn't you just..."
Gongsun Qian shook his head and said, "I just answered your question. I can't believe it, but I don't know the truth."
Alas~
Lu Yan sighed. The quality of the Gongsun family cannot be said to be bad. It can only be said that Long Zi's knowledge is too obscure for them.
Just like the Mohist mentality and the state of universal love, it is basically impossible for future generations to achieve it. Therefore, since Mozi, the Mohist family has not produced a great figure in the realm of the unity of nature and man. It is possible for future generations to develop such a status today.
power, while constantly studying the results of mechanism techniques.
The onlookers had no idea what was going on. It didn't matter that one Gongsun Qian suddenly knelt down. It was too exaggerated for the Gongsun family to kneel down as a whole. What did Lu Yan say?
Good question, don’t tell these onlookers that they don’t understand.
The novelist who recorded this debate has chewed off the pen barrel and is holding his head, "What does this mean? How do I write this -"
The Taoist disciple who was meditating on the third floor had stood up at some point. To be honest, he didn't know if he should go down and see this Lu Yan.
He is a disciple of Xunzi and has a good reputation in the seven kingdoms. When he comes to the territory of Taoism, it would not be good if no one from Taoism meets him.
But if I go to meet him now, I don’t really understand what they said just now, and I feel embarrassed.
Lu Yan, who was on the second floor, talked hard and finally pulled the Gongsun family up from their knees. In the process, he noticed the little Gongsun Linglong.
She was only nine years old at this time. She was talented, articulate, and had a pair of striking phoenix eyes. She just didn't know how she would grow to be that crooked in the future~
"Master Gongsun, let's not talk about becoming a disciple. Lu Yan has only read a few of Senior Longzi's writings. I am willing to exchange my experience with the Gongsun family and copy other works of Senior Longzi. Family Master Gongsun feels that
How about this?"
"Gongsun Longzi" has many scattered anecdotes in later generations. Lu Yan only knows the most famous "White Horse Theory" and "On Name and Reality". He thinks it is worthwhile to exchange these for the works of Longzi in this world.
Gongsun Ren and Gongsun Zuo looked at each other, bowed ninety degrees to Lu Yan, and thanked him one after another.
"Dang~" The belated sound of the gong finally sounded, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Lu Yan walked out of the restaurant and glanced at Yan Lingji above.
Yan Lingji jumped down and came to Lu Yan's side, "My words impressed the famous master Gongsun. Your talent really amazes me."
"The use of allusions is good." Lu Yan praised lightly and walked towards the inn.
Yan Lingji followed behind and asked, "But, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't think about this. With your current knowledge, the more you think about it, the more confused you will become."
"Understood, sir."
Lu Yan asked as he walked: "Where did I talk last time?"
Yan Lingji blurted out: "The formation of a slave country."
"This is the key point. Baiyue's situation is basically at this stage."
