"Finally finished writing." Lu Yan blew on the ink, put down the pen, and stretched.
"Sir, what kind of article is this that shocks the world? I see that you have been busy for this article for almost... a year." Ju Shuang took the letter from Lu Yan and put the other messy information together.
Tidy up.
"This is a collision of ideas that spans thousands of years." Lu Yan looked at the finished manuscript and felt as if he was in another world.
"On Life in the World" is a set of discussions on the relationship between man and the world, divided into two levels and three stages of development.
Two levels:
The first is the "unity of man and nature", in which man and the world are connected and integrated. This is also the most mainstream thought in the world. The second is the dichotomy of subject and object, which means that man and the world are separated and opposed, with man as the subject and the world as the object. By understanding the world, man can
Achieve the unity of nature and man.
Three stages of development:
1. "Unity of nature and man in the former subject-object relationship". If we do not pay attention to the distinction between subject and object, we will not recognize the subject's understanding and control of the object. We will not pay attention to epistemology and methodology, which is not conducive to the development of science. Ancient Chinese science (
Science, not technology) is not very developed due to many influences on economy and politics, but the mainstream of this kind of thinking also has a significant relationship. This kind of thinking is also the mainstream thinking of hundreds of schools at this time.
Second, the "dichotomy of subject and object". Clearly separate and oppose subject and object, give full play to human subjectivity, actively understand the world, and grasp the objective laws of the world, so as to achieve the unity of subject and object. This is a major progress of modern philosophy over ancient times.
.Greatly conducive to the development of science.
Third, "the unity of nature and man after the subject-object relationship". It does not abandon the subject-object relationship, but at the same time pays attention to the perception of the integration of man and the world, which is better than the second one.
This is a two-step transcendence of the current idea of the unity of man and nature, a transcendence that would have taken thousands of years to complete.
It can be said that this is the work of Lu Yan in this world, because many of them come from Western philosophical theories and cannot be described at all. Lu Yan must explain it in detail bit by bit in this article, and this article also begins with
An article gradually developed into a set of theoretical discussions.
This is the crystallization of the thoughts of countless philosophers and ancestors over thousands of years. Even if Lu Yan was a copywriter, he would be exhausted from copying.
Without Xunzi's teachings, without the nameless "Life and Death" that touched Lu Yan, without the support of the vast sea of Confucian classics, Lu Yan would not have dared to write.
That’s why it is said that this is a collision of thousands of thoughts, a collision of Eastern and Western philosophies. When the Taoist struggle between heaven and man was approaching, it attracted the attention of hundreds of schools of thought. Lu Yan took advantage of the enthusiasm and published this set of treatises.
It is foreseeable what kind of uproar will be caused.
If "The Three Character Classic" is to establish his reputation in the world and gain favor from hundreds of schools of thought, then "On Life in the World" will become a huge driving force for Lu Yan to become "Lu Zi".
"Sister Ju Shuang, send it to the teacher. Forget it, it's better for me to send it in person." Lu Yan tidied up the systematic treatises and prepared to show them to Xunzi.
Walking in the corridor, with the graceful pavilions and willows on both sides and the clear water, Lu Yan, who has been obsessed with writing books, took a deep breath.
"Junior brother? Is this another masterpiece for the teacher?"
A young man in gray-white cloth, carrying a bag on his back and a slightly heavy face, bumped into Lu Yan and asked.
"Senior Brother Li Si, are you going on a long trip?" Lu Yan was confused when he saw Li Si dressed like this.
"Not as talented as my junior brother, Li Si has learned nothing and is ready to try his luck in the world." Li Si always seemed to be so humble when he spoke, but there was always an air of hostility that made Lu Yan uncomfortable.
"The time has come~" Lu Yan saw Li Si say this and knew that he was going to leave the army to become an official in Qin. Likewise, it was time for Han Fei to return to South Korea.
"Junior brother once said that what you learn on paper is ultimately shallow. Li Si also wants to find a place to practice what he has learned in his heart."
"Qin?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide it. The most powerful country in the world may have the soil for me to take root under such a roof."
"You will definitely succeed. It's a long journey to Qin, so be careful."
"Thank you, junior brother, for your kind words, Li Si said goodbye." Li Si saluted and said goodbye, and walked out of the Little Saint's Villa, where Han Fei was waiting for him.
Lu Yan, Li Si, and Han Fei, as fellow seniors, met each other without looking up. Of course, the system also issued a task, but Lu Yan chose to refuse.
Firstly, because he has been busy studying and writing books in these years; secondly, whether it is the cultivation scroll of exercises, ten thousand hours of training, Yijin Dan, every time he encounters the critical point of life and death, the system's props always come to him.
It's just right that he doesn't know how he should treat this system. Thirdly, Lu Yan's internal strength has returned to its previous level, his swordsmanship has improved even more, and he no longer needs to rely on the system.
Lu Yan looked at Li Si's retreating figure, shook his head, and went to Xunzi's residence.
……
"Well, you are trying to build a system. I can see that there are still many gaps in it, which you need to spend your whole life filling." Xunzi looked at the slip in his hand, nodded, and said to Lu Yan.
"What the teacher said is that the disciples have already been mentally prepared."
Human life has been a research topic for thousands of years, and naturally it cannot be ended so simply. The spiritual development of human beings, realm culture, etc. related to this need to be continuously filled in by Lu Yan. Lu Yan is doing this with his own efforts.
, trying to establish a complete theoretical system in this era.
"This is an unprecedented path. Even Confucius, Mencius, Lao and Zhuang are only in the first stage you mentioned. What you endure will far exceed what you gain."
Xunzi's words contained no emotion or anger, no praise or criticism, but they pointed out the difficulties that Lu Yan would face.
The Tao of Confucius and Mencius, and the Tao of Lao and Zhuang are only the first layer of this system. Who dares to comment on the ancestors like this? Lu Yan will be subject to various criticisms from various schools of thought, and Confucianism is no exception.
However, this is an era when hundreds of flowers bloom, and no one school of thought can rule the world. Real celebrities will absorb the outstanding achievements of others and make continuous progress. Those old stubborns will be eliminated sooner or later anyway. If it were in the future dynasties, Lu Yan would definitely be defeated by all
People are sprayed to death.
The idea of the unity of nature and man cannot be said to be wrong, but after this set of ideas becomes mainstream, it will become an inevitable development trend for heaven to suppress human nature. In the previous life, it took us thousands of years to break this alienating and occlusive idea, and on the road of science
has lagged far behind the West.
What Lu Yan has to do is to solve this problem at its root, and then rely on a strong and unified country to use the rule of law to regulate and prosper it, use education to let people gradually understand science, use science to point out the way forward, and let people in the world truly understand the problem.
The earth is freed from chaos.
When he wandered through the ocean of classics, experienced the influence of countless ancestors, and wandered alone in the thoughts of the East and the West, he recalled the various hardships experienced by the nations of this land in his previous life. The sentence "Establish a heart for the world and a life for the people."
, the ideal of "carrying on the unique knowledge to the saints and creating peace for all generations" truly took root in his heart.
"Teacher, I have searched high and low, and even though I died nine times, I have never regretted it." Lu Yan bowed to Xunzi.
"You are also here to say goodbye."
"Disciples have found the opportunity to practice their ideals."
"Alas~ At my age, seeing you and Han Fei, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse~"
"Han Fei..."
"Let's go~"
