"The Classic of Filial Piety" was equivalent to an introductory textbook for middle schools in the Song Dynasty. As the name suggests, it is a Confucian classic on "filial piety." The first chapter of the opening chapter states: "Filial piety to a husband is the foundation of virtue and the source of teaching."
This book is the shortest and most basic among the Confucian classics. You need to understand the "Book of Filial Piety" before starting to talk about the "Four Books". Chen Ke has been studying medicine since he was a child. Before reading medical books, he must first enlighten himself with Chinese studies.
, this Book of Filial Piety is naturally a must-read. Although later generations have basically determined that this book is a forgery written by Han Confucianism. But if he dares to tell Chen Xiliang, this stuff was made up by Dong Zhongshu and his gang to brainwash the world.
, it will probably be beaten flat.
As a ten-year-old child, the wisest thing to do is to read it honestly and recite it sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph.
Because he had the foundation from his previous life, plus he had recited it in this life, and he held the Buddha's feet temporarily for a day, he felt that he could remember more than 700 words, so he started reciting it from the beginning:
"Zhongni lived there, and Zengzi served as his attendant. The Master said: 'The former king had the most virtuous and important way, which was to obey the world, and the people were harmonious, and there was no resentment between superiors and inferiors. Do you know this?'"
Chen Xiliang closed his eyes slightly at first, tapped the table silently with his fingers, and nodded slowly following the cadence. When Chen Ke recited the words: "Use the way of heaven, divide the benefits of the earth, use it with self-discipline, to support your parents, this is the common man's duty"
When Takashi read it, he opened his eyes with satisfaction. If he could memorize it up to this point, it means that Saburo worked hard today.
He fully expected that Chen Ke would stumble and then stop soon. However, the boy continued to recite rhythmically as if he was reading from a script.
When Chen Ke recited, "The five punishments are three thousand, and the crime is no greater than being unfilial. The one who wants the king is supreme, the one who is not a saint cannot do it, and the one who is not filial has no relatives. This is the way of great chaos." Chen Chen was already shocked.
His mouth opened wide. He focused mainly on his two little brothers today, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother had completely mutated. Not only could he bargain, he could cook, and he could even memorize books. When Chen Ke recited, 'Dear fellow disciples,
No one is good at filial piety. No one is good at teaching people to be obedient. No one is good at disobedience. No one is good at changing customs. No one is good at being happy. No one is good at governing the people. No one is good at etiquette..." At this time, Chen Xiliang's mouth also opened wide.
He kept reciting it until he said, "Love and respect in life, mourn in death, the foundation of life and the people has been completed, the righteousness of life and death has been prepared, and the filial piety has come to an end." Chen Ke stopped and said with some embarrassment: "I can't remember the latter part.
Already..."
"This is the last sentence..." The father and brother were stunned.
"Ah..." Chen Ke himself was shocked. Although he was not stupid at first, it was still very difficult for him to memorize a long thing. Although this "Book of Filial Piety" only has 1,903 words, it is
Paragraph by paragraph, it is fragmented, and it is still very difficult to recite it.
But he didn't know what was going on. He just knew it clearly in his mind. Whenever he thought of any paragraph, the content of that paragraph would come to mind, and it was impossible to memorize it wrong.
The person involved and the bystanders were stunned for a long time, before Chen Xiliang coughed twice, put away the wonderful expression on his face and said: "You can memorize it, it's just so-so. But memory is only one side, you still need to experience it with your heart..." At this point,
He became serious and said: "Sanlang, do you know why you are asked to memorize the "Book of Filial Piety"?"
"I know." Chen Ke nodded and said softly: "Because of the child, I beat my aunt a few days ago."
"Yes." Chen Xiliang's face brightened slightly, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of water and said, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"I know." Chen Ke said: "The following offense, beating my aunt, is a crime of rebellion."
"That's right or wrong." Chen Xiliang put down his bowl and said: "Basically speaking, I don't agree with foolish loyalty and foolish filial piety. Being unable to resist when being abused, how is it any different from a pig or a sheep? The sage said, if you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?
It is only natural to repay grievance with straightness and repay kindness with kindness." After a pause, he said: "But when you live in the world, you must abide by the rules of this world. What are rules? The "Book of Filial Piety" is the rules. The Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.
, kings of all ages have praised filial piety, and people in the world also regard filial piety as the first of all good deeds, and despise those who are unfilial. The world is like this, and others will not understand the inside story, and will only believe it based on a few words, which will indelibly stain you.
It's a stain, I'll teach you not to argue."
"Don't feel wronged. In the face of filial piety, even the most powerful people in the world, the dignified officials of the Song Dynasty, have to endure it." Chen Xiliang said sincerely: "It seems a little early to tell you this now, but I believe that with your intelligence, you should be able to
clear."
"Are you going to let your younger brother be bullied?" Chen Ke said nothing, but Chen Chen on the other side spoke up.
"Of course not, but we should use smarter means." Chen Xiliang said: "With Saburo's current ability, why can't he think of taking his brothers to the county to find you? If they find you, you can take them to me.
Aren’t all the problems solved?”
Chen Ke was so ashamed. At that time, there was no trace of these two cheap father and brother in his mind.
"Don't mention too many things. It's mainly a father's responsibility." Chen Xiliang was afraid that he would blame himself and waved his hand: "You all remember. The sage said, 'Think twice before you act.' People must think carefully before doing something.
The consequences, if you can't bear the consequences, then you can't do it..."
After the children thought for a while, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, so everyone should go to bed early."
"What are you going to do, father?"
"The rain has stopped and the air outside is good. I'll go out for a walk." Chen Xiliang said, opening the door and going out.
Walking to the yard, there were already bright stars hanging in the sky. Chen Xiliang suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that tears came out. He pointed to the north and said with a proud face: "Hahahaha, Su Laoquan, now I have seen it too
My dear son, let’s see how you brag to me again!”
In the room, Korokuro was trembling with fear: "Brother, is there a ghost?"
"There is a big-headed ghost, so sleep honestly." Sanlang pressed his head into the bed with one hand and held a copy of Chen Xiliang's "Selected Current Articles" in the other hand. He randomly picked a policy article and read it carefully from beginning to end. It was more than two thousand pieces.
He read the article three times until the lights went out.
When Chen Xiliang came in and blew out the lamp, he lay down, closed his eyes, and began to recall the article. Sure enough, he still remembered every word without missing a sentence.
When he woke up the next day, Chen Ke thought about the article again and could still remember more than 90% of it. What kind of memory is this? It is definitely much better than before. What is going on? It is caused by the sequelae of time travel.
Scholar syndrome? Or was Saburo originally a genius child?
‘Whatever it is, it’s not a bad thing anyway.’ Optimists have this advantage and can quickly get used to their own changes.

After breakfast, Chen Xiliang went out for another whole day and did not come back until evening. This time he could no longer conceal his frustration and sat there sighing.
"Why is daddy sighing?" Chen Chen finally couldn't help asking as he brought him a bowl of water.
"Oh, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Chen Xiliang sighed again: "It's no use, dad. Several creditors ran around and only got back a few hundred coins, not even a fraction of it."
"Why can't you get it?" Since Chen Xiliang doesn't treat him as a child, Chen Ke naturally no longer pretends to be young: "Didn't you say that if you really can't get it, you can still apply for an official?"
"It's not easy," Chen Xiliang shook his head and said, "Either there is a family to support, or the business is losing money. I can't force people into a dead end, right?"
"Then what should we do..." Chen Chen was in a very complicated mood. In fact, after hearing Chen Ke's words yesterday, he had given up hope in his father's debt collection. After these two days of ideological struggle, he decided to make a sacrifice.
"There is no perfect path for everyone." Feeling that the atmosphere was oppressive, Chen Xiliang realized that he was the god of this family. He shook off the low mood and laughed loudly: "A father is a seven-foot man, with hands, feet, knowledge, and...
Can’t feed you brats?”
"Dad..." Chen Chen took courage for a long time and finally said: "I have decided not to go back to school. I will support my family with you and support my three younger brothers in school."
"..." Chen Xiliang was stunned for a moment, then said decisively: "Absolutely not! What hope is there if you don't study? Don't mention it again!"
"Dad..." Chen Chen still wanted to say.
Chen Xiliang's face had darkened and he said sternly: "Shut up! This matter is not negotiable!"
"..." Chen Chen was afraid of his father after all, so he had no choice but to lower his head and wipe his tears.
"What about dad, don't you want to study anymore?" Chen Ke's words almost made Chen Xiliang cry.
"So, keep on studying. Only by studying can you have hope." Chen Ke said earnestly.
"..." Chen Xiliang looked at him for a long time and suddenly smiled. No matter how precocious and smart Sanlang is, no matter how adult he talks, he is still just a ten-year-old child after all.
"Don't laugh, what I said is true..." Chen Ke said anxiously.
"Okay, it's true." Chen Xiliang said with a smile: "But please go and warm up your books now, otherwise you will be careful not to eat dinner at night." He casually picked up the few IOUs on the table and walked to the kitchen.
"What are you going to do, daddy?" Chen Ke asked hurriedly.
"Cook."
"Then what are these papers for?"
"Anyway, there's no need. Let's make a fire."
"No……"
"What's wrong?"
"That, that," Chen Ke said with some eagerness: "That's such a waste, you can still write on the back..."
Chen Xiliang thought the same thing. In order to prevent easy damage, the IOU paper is very thick and the back is clean. It is really a pity to light a fire.
Then he handed it back casually and said: "Practice your calligraphy well, why are those handwriting so ugly?"
"It must be..." Chen Ke held the IOUs and breathed a sigh of relief.
