Less than half a month after the Jingyan Festival, Bianjing Seal Publishing House launched 100,000 copies of "Collected Commentary on University Chapters and Verses" and "Collected Commentary on Doctrine of the Doctrine of the Mean", and quickly put them on the shelves of thousands of people in Bianjing, Luoyang, Hangzhou, Ezhou, Guangzhou, and Chengdu.
On the home shelf, they are all in the most conspicuous places.
There is no way. With its ultra-fast printing speed, ultra-high printing quality, and ultra-low printing costs, Bianjing Printing Press has absorbed more than 70% of the printing presses in Bianjing and formed a super printing group with 7,000 workers.
, monopolizing more than 90% of the publishing business in Bianjing and more than 60% of the country's publishing business.
So unless those booksellers want to change careers, they have to obey the requirements of this publishing giant.
In fact, this is not Chen Ke's intention, it is just flattery by his subordinates. Originally, according to Chen Ke's idea, he would print 20,000 copies first, sell them slowly, and ferment slowly. If anything goes wrong, he can easily deal with it.
.
This is great. Within a few days, the two books "Annotations on Great Learning Chapters and Verses" and "Annotations on Zhongyong Chapters and Verses" spread all over the world. What followed was an overwhelming number of voices.
First of all, it is of course praise. Because Chen's Neo-Confucianism is such an exquisite philosophy. Even if you don't believe it, it's hard not to feel heartbroken when such knowledge is placed in front of you. This is because China has never formed a unified culture since the pre-Qin cultural rift.
A complete philosophy. After Han Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were proven to fail one after another, people were in great need of an idea that could guide them.
But it is precisely because they have experienced too many setbacks that they will not believe in any doctrine and will only accept it bit by bit after fully questioning it.
So throughout the winter, the door of Chen Ke's house and the martial arts academy were crowded with Confucian scholars and scholars who came to ask for advice, apprenticeships, debates, and questions. Some even came from Guangdong just to spit on him... Of course, this
People are extremely individual.
Chen Ke also had to spend a lot of time on clearing up doubts, resolving doubts, and even debating. Being besieged like this all day long was too much even for his iron-clad body, so he could only announce that once every five days, in the martial arts academy,
In the martial arts lecture hall, a group of visitors were gathered together.
The Martial Arts Lecture Hall is modeled after the auditorium of later generations of the Royal Martial Arts Academy. The newly built lecture hall has a cement concrete structure and can accommodate up to more than 2,000 people. It has original amplification equipment and can be used for large classes in the Martial Arts Academy.
The biggest advantage of Chen Ke gathering these people together is that he can avoid answering repeated questions. In fact, he answers almost a dozen questions over and over again every day.
For example, 'You said studying things and studying principles, then where do you put the saints? Do we only need to study things and don't need to learn from the saints?'
Chen Ke's answer was: "Of course not. Without the guidance of a sage, how can you study things? To cultivate yourself internally and to study physics externally, you need to follow the teachings of the sage!"
Someone else asked: "You said, 'The world of all things is real, and anyone who classifies and understands its principles can enter the Tao.' Can it be said that I can enter the Tao even if I study plants and trees?"
"There are thousands of principles, but there is only one Tao." Chen Ke said: "Tao is contained in all the principles of all things. Therefore, each principle contains a part of the Tao. It is said that we should understand the principles of all things before we can obtain the Tao. But
People are wise and can summarize and draw inferences. So as long as you can study the principles of one category, you can get the Tao."
"So what categories are they divided into?"
"There are too many, such as philosophy, literature, martial arts, Buddhism, Taoism, history, medicine, agriculture, engineering, arithmetic, divination, astronomy, geography, military science, zoology, botany..."
"Can peasants also attain enlightenment?" This is something that the scholar-bureaucrats find dissatisfying. They need a sense of superiority.
"That's the theory. But agriculture is broad and profound. If you want to get into it, you have to be able to take care of all crops, right? Can you prevent and control all pests and diseases? There are also gardening, afforestation, sericulture, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, breeding, etc.
You are also familiar with brewing, cooking, storage, and famine control methods, right?" Chen Ke replied calmly: "Do you think an illiterate farmer can understand so much?"
Everyone in the audience couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing.
"So you can't get the truth by practicing alone. You have to quickly become an expert in this field by reading the books of the predecessors. Then you can test your knowledge through practice, so that you can get enough truth as soon as possible, and then you can have enough knowledge.
You have the time to seek the Tao." What Chen Ke said was undoubtedly a propaganda that only scholars can attain the Tao, but he also wanted to cover it up by saying: "If a farmer can master so many things, do you think he is not qualified to join the Tao?"
"Sir said he wanted to read a book, but where are there any books on agriculture?" Everyone laughed and said, "I have never heard of anyone becoming an agriculturist."
"Essential Art of Qi Min", "Shu Sheng's Book", "Compilation Essentials of the Four Seasons", "Rai Sijing", "Zhao Ren's Own Industry", "Baosheng Monthly Record", "Planting Method", "Xiangma Jing"
, "Records of the Four O'clock", "Cheng Yu Yue Ling", "Summary of Chronicles", "Farm Family Affairs", "Farming Genealogy", "Silkworm Book", "Essential Techniques of Mountain Living", "Collection of Simu Anji", "
"Wang's Records of the Four Seasons", "Silkworm Classic"..." Chen Ke smiled and said: "I just thought about it briefly, there are so many ancient agricultural books, why do you say there are none."
The scholars couldn't help but blush. They only studied for the purpose of becoming officials in the imperial examination. Therefore, except for the Thirteen Classics, they read very few books. Even if they read, they were mostly entertainment works such as romance novels. Who would be idle?
Are you holding this agricultural book and reading it?
"As for those who became Taoists through agriculture, the most famous one is the Yan Emperor Shennong." Chen Ke added: "In fact, there were many agriculturalists in ancient times, but Han Confucianism dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, which blocked people from using hundreds of
The path for a family to enter the Tao. In fact, we should use our Confucianism as the body, hundreds of schools of thought as its use, use Confucianism to guide the heart, and use the hundreds of schools of thought to prove all things, then we can achieve the great way!"
"Then which family do you qualify yourself for?" someone asked again. In fact, those who ask this kind of question have basically recognized his theory.
"I study Confucianism internally and physics externally," Chen Ke said: "I try to find the laws behind various phenomena in this world. For example, why things fall to the ground; why boats can float on the water; why there are seven kinds of rainbows
Color; what laws do the sun, moon and stars follow to move?"
"If you can understand all kinds of physics, you can naturally explain the world." Chen Ke added: "But at present, I have only obtained part of the theory, and part of it has not been tested in practice and cannot be taken as true."
His words really aroused strong curiosity among everyone, and they asked: "Why do things fall to the ground?"
"Because of the existence of gravity." Chen Ke replied: "So people have weight, so no matter how high you jump, you will eventually fall back to the ground, so the sun, moon and stars are bound to rotate around the center of the earth."
"How can a rainbow be seven colors?" This is what they are more concerned about than the first phenomenon. Because in this era, rainbows were called 'bars drawing water' and 'dragons absorbing water'. People thought that rainbows would suck the place dry.
water. So when the rainbow comes, people bang pots and bowls to scare away the rainbow.
For unknown phenomena, the ancients always gave them a mythical color. Breaking this myth will naturally show unparalleled persuasiveness.
Chen Ke explained: "A rainbow is when sunlight shines on water droplets in the air. The light is refracted and reflected, forming an arched colorful spectrum in the sky. Because the meteorological conditions in the evening after rain are most suitable for rainbows to appear, so people
You’ll always see it then.”
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this: "I'm afraid you are joking, sir. The sun's rays are white, and the rainbow is colorful. How can they be connected together?"
"It's true that the sun's rays have seven colors," Chen Ke said lightly: "It only turns white when combined together. When refracted and scattered, it will appear seven colors." Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he laughed and said:
"I can prove it to you. He took out a transparent prism from the teaching aid box and asked everyone to show it: "Look first, is this just an ordinary piece of glass?"
At this time, although Western glass was expensive in the Song Dynasty, it was not uncommon. And most of the Confucian children came from middle-to-upper-class families... Families who didn't even have enough to eat didn't have enough money to send their children to school outside of work. So for those people
Most of the prisms were not surprised, but they knew that such a transparent piece of glass must be extremely expensive.
While the glass was passing through, Chen Ke learned about the principles of refraction and reflection of light. Because it was the most basic junior high school physics knowledge, it was very easy for adults to understand, and he felt suddenly enlightened after listening to it. It turned out that he used to look in the mirror.
When you think about yourself, when you insert your chopsticks into the water, it always seems to be broken. There is such a truth in your mouth!
When the prism came back, Chen Ke asked someone to open the curtain of the left window a crack. Then a ray of light came in. Chen Ke put the prism against the light, and the scholars saw that the light was refracted by the prism and illuminated on the wall.
, showing a colorful light...
Proving that the sun has seven colors, Chen Ke took everyone to the martial arts training ground again. The guards dragged the water dragon with the shower head, turned their backs to the sun and stepped hard, and countless water lines spurted out, turning into
The sky is filled with mist.
Everyone saw a beautiful rainbow suddenly spanning the sky over the martial arts training ground...
Most of the people who saw this scene admired Chen Ke, and most of them became his fans from then on. This is really tried and true.
Of course, every time Chen Ke gives a lecture, the experiments he does are different. But they are all the same ones he did in physics class when he was in junior high school in his previous life...
Therefore, when you are young, you should do as many small experiments as possible, so that if you travel through time one day, you will have a skill at your disposal.

Probably because he owes the alliance leaders six updates. (To be continued...)
