Literati have their own shortcomings, especially those who are self-righteous.
Anyone who can derive his own theoretical system from the classics is indeed a great talent.
Such achievements have also made them trapped in their own theoretical systems and unable to understand other people's arguments from the perspective of bystanders. They can only simply refute.
Some people say that all successful people are paranoid, and there is some truth to this.
These three schools have not yet been separated, and other schools of thought, such as Wang Anshi and Shao Yong, have also merged.
Because everyone has discovered that the so-called debate on different opinions is a threshold.
When speaking, there was a sense of refutation, but later on, everyone almost used the official rule of not interrupting the presentation of theory to talk about their own theories.
It cannot be said that this is not a refutation. The argument is different, and it cannot be said that it agrees with the other party's theory.
Therefore, the whole court debate became more and more lively.
In a sense, Zhao Xi is inclined to Wang Anshi's theory.
Wang Anshi did not have too many mysterious concepts. After he clarified that Tao is a change, he discussed the practical application of the world in a large space.
Wang Anshi does not agree to follow everything the sages say and accepts all the ancient sages. He believes that Tao is change. The present is different from the past, winter is different from summer, and the classics suitable for the present should be selected from the classics under different circumstances.
Wang Anshi's new learning can be said to be a school of scholarship, but it is better to say that he created a theory specifically in response to the current situation of the country.
His way is change. The ancient sages and the great masters of the Han and Tang dynasties each had their own way, and the Song Dynasty should also have the way of the Song Dynasty.
It is better to say that Dong Zhongshu is the successor of the sage Confucius, rather than that he excerpted the classics and created Confucianism that was in line with the times.
Similarly, in today's Song Dynasty, no matter how far the orthodoxy is, everything should be measured by serving the country and adapting to this era.
Originally, Zhao Xi thought that Shao Yong's theory of Xiang Mathematics was the most nonsense, but the result was the opposite. What really surprised him was Shao Yong's theory of Xiang Mathematics.
According to Zhao Xi's concept, the "Book of Changes" in later generations was regarded as a fortune-telling book, which was probably caused by this old boy.
Confucianism based its theory on the Book of Changes, but in later generations, the Book of Changes, the root of Confucianism, was regarded as a deceptive book for fortune-telling. Zhao Xi had no good impressions of this old boy.
Perhaps because of such preconceptions, Zhao Xi was really shocked when Shao Yong began to explain.
Shao Yong was the first to elevate Tao to metaphysics.
Without any more mysterious words, he directly stated that Tao originates from things and is higher than things. In his theory, Zhao Xi saw the connection between Tao and rules.
His theory is similar to Zhou Dunyi and Er Cheng to some extent, but also different.
The theories of Zhou Dunyi and Er Cheng believe that Tao is abstract and can be felt but cannot be stated explicitly.
And Shao Yong seems to want to pull down Tao and describe it as a tangible thing, or that the existence of Tao must be based on tangible things. If there is no thing, there is no Tao, and if there is something, there is Tao. Tao is the evolution of things, and things are the origin of Tao.
fundamental.
This view is quite different from Zhang Zai's idea that Tao is Qi and evolves into Qi. Shao Yong has some influence on every other school of thought.
Even Wang Anshi's Tao Weibian was also discussed in Shao Yong's theoretical system.
Zhao Xi was a little doubtful whether this old boy was watching others order food...
When several prominent schools of thought began to merge, the scene of Bible debate became more and more solemn.
Yes, that's the feeling, solemn.
Zhao Xi looked at Mr. Yan several times to see his reaction to these ancestral disciples changing the original meaning of their ancestry. As a result, this guy was completely immersed in the entire court debate.
Everyone in the entire Daqing Hall was attentive. Whenever someone discussed Taoism, they would listen quietly. Even if they had opposing views, they would still respect the person who expressed their views.
It seems that the organizers need to take care of things...
This was nonsense, at least Zhao Xi thought so at first, but when things developed to a certain extent, Zhao Xi realized that he had also been brought into this atmosphere.
What he can confirm now is: first, these so-called schools of thought have never communicated like this, never communicated with such dedication. This also allowed them to truly learn from each other.
Second, no school has a mature theoretical system. They all have ideas when interpreting classics, and then extend from a certain point to the breadth and gradually improve their own theories.
Everyone has their own circumstances, and everyone has their own perspective on interpreting the classics, which is also the reason why they have different ideas.
This kind of court debate allows them to try to understand each other's philosophy... The basis for finding fault is to understand the core of others.
The result of the debate is always that everyone retains their own opinions.
When establishing a school of thought, especially in this initial stage where the system has not yet been fully formed, citations and textual research are limited.
Even if Zhao Xi doesn't care about listening to their nonsense, let alone taking care of food, food and housing, he is still at a loss for words.
The first one to leave the battlefield was Zhang Zai. Zhang Zai's strength was too weak.
His official position is not high, his influence is not great, and the literary fortune of the Northwest is not obvious. In the entire Daqing Palace, there are too few officials and scholars who support his views.
Zhang Zai has not yet perfected his theoretical system. The key is that he has not used scientific experiments to verify his theory... This is the fundamental reason why Zhao Xi believes that he lost the battle.
Another point that cannot be ignored is that Zhang Zai studied under Zhou Dunyi, or his theory was taken from a certain point of Zhou Dunyi's theory.
If he continues to argue, he will have no choice but to find a foothold in Zhou Dunyi's theory. Such a result may make his so-called Guanxue directly buried and become a side branch of Zhou Dunyi's scholarship.
Zhang Zai's withdrawal was the smartest move. There is no victory or defeat in the debate. As long as his views are explained in court, it is already the greatest victory for a school like Zhang Zai whose influence is limited to the land of Hengqu.
The next person who stopped arguing was Zhou Dunyi. The reason why he stopped arguing was because he was let go by Er Cheng who had the same ideas as him.
There is really no way around this. I once heard that Ercheng also had Zhou Dunyi as his teacher, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Among two similar viewpoints, the more detailed and concrete the more convincing they are.
This is what Ercheng said to Zhou Dunyi.
The two academics have one purpose, or one core essence. Zhou Dunyi talked about it in general terms, while Er Cheng made his views clear.
Perhaps Zhou Dunyi was more concerned about academic inheritance and had no intention of competing for superiority. He also did not consider the emperor's views and impressions of him.
No one knows whether the person who wrote "Ai Lian Shuo" really has an extraordinary character, but that's it anyway.
This is just the result, as for the process...two days have passed.
Fortunately, each school is not supported by one person. Otherwise, if you talk for two days in a row, your voice will probably be broken.
For two days, the court did nothing but listened to nonsense. Zhao Xi had already considered this issue, and the date was set for Xiu Mu's time... But in the eyes of the courtiers, it seemed that this nonsense was more important than dealing with government affairs.
