After hearing this, Chen Ji felt as if he had been enlightened.
This theory completely overturned his previous understanding, but it also made him agree with it from the bottom of his heart.
Many Confucian scholars keep talking about the way of the sage, but if they themselves resist the way of the sage, what is the meaning of the existence of such a way of the sage?
Shi Guangyuan listened with excitement, and quickly looked for paper to record, "Yu Zi said: The heart is the principle, there is no reason outside the heart, there is nothing outside the heart, and there is nothing outside the heart."
Yu Xian said again, "Those who know are the beginning of practice; those who practice are the completion of knowledge."
"If the principles we learn cannot be put into practice in the world, then we will not be able to reflect the value of this principle, and we will not be able to verify whether this principle is right or wrong. Know and act, and act and know. The two complement each other, which is the unity of knowledge and action.
.”
Shi Guangyuan listened and kept holding his hands, "Yuzi said again:..."
Cui Zhouping's eyes turned red as he watched.
How did The Analects of Confucius come about?
Isn’t it just a record of the questions and answers between Confucius and his disciples?
Uncle Yu's discussion will undoubtedly open up a powerful new school of thought, and Chen Ji's questions and answers will also be regarded as classics.
Shi Guangyuan, who witnessed and recorded this incident, will have a very high power of interpretation in this new school for generations to come.
I'm so careless!
Cui Zhouping regretted and wanted to hit the wall.
It's just that Cui Zhouping is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
After regretting it for a short while, his smart mind came up with an idea.
——If I say something in this matter, even if it seems reckless, it is still the way to go.
In "The Analects of Confucius", Zilu pushed the most into trouble, but he was forced to add the role of the second male lead.
Taking advantage of Chen Ji's feeling of loss and gain, Cui Zhouping quickly interjected and asked.
"But if this is the case, my heart has my own principles, your heart has your own principles, and everyone in the world has their own principles. If this is the case, if the concepts of the people in the world are confused, wouldn't it mean that people's hearts are wandering and the great unity is lost?
meaning?”
Since Yu Xian started it, he naturally wanted to complete Wang Yangming's theory.
Immediately and patiently explained, "In our natures, we have the same values that can be understood without thinking, and that is our conscience. This is what Mencius said, those who know without thinking have a conscience. This is the conscience
All things, whether wise or foolish, regardless of status, can be recognized by each other. If we use the common conscience as the standard of value, we can naturally achieve the cohesion of people's hearts that Dong Zi wants."
When Shi Guangyuan heard this, he wrote quickly and calmly, "One might say: People's hearts are so different, why should they be unified? Yuzi said: The heart of right and wrong knows without worrying, and can be learned without learning. That's why it is called
Conscience. This is the nature of destiny, and the essence of my heart is naturally and clearly awakened. Conscience is in the human heart, not only for saints, but also for ordinary people..."
Cui Zhouping didn't know that Shi Guangyuan had wiped out his part of the scene with a secret "maybe". He was secretly proud for a while, and then he hurriedly asked, "I dare to ask my uncle, there are good people in this world and there are evils.
What if the evil man loses his conscience?"
Not only did he have to appear in "Yu Zi", he also had to seal the relationship.
Chen Jiben was a little dissatisfied with Cui Zhouping's interruption, and he didn't care much at this time.
Indeed, most of Yuzi's theories can be justified, but there is a huge loophole here.
If people have no conscience, how can they develop it? How can they find common values?
Doesn’t this set of theories fall apart?
The three of them all looked at Yu Xian nervously and apprehensively.
This set of theories is extremely brilliant. It has found a way for Confucianism, which has originated from many sources, to sort out the authenticity and distinguish the good from the bad. It can also effectively apply Confucian theory to the means of governing the world.
All three of them were a little afraid that this theory would fall into logical obstacles and end in vain.
Yu Xian asked in surprise, "If he has no conscience, is he still a human being? We can just hack him to death."
Holy shit!
Not only did Shi Guangyuan dare not remember these words, but even Chen Ji was sweating after hearing this.
The boss is so unrestrained!
But the three of them changed their minds.
Hey, it seems to make sense?
This is very academic.
When Yu Xian saw that Shi Guangyuan could not move his pen, he glanced at him in confusion, "Why don't you write anymore?"
Then he asked doubtfully, "Are there any forbidden words?"
Shi Guangyuan wiped his sweat, "No, no..."
Seeing that Shi Guangyuan still didn't move, Yu Xian smiled and said, "You write like this."
——“There is no good or disgusting body, and there are good and evil actions. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is observing things.”
After Yu Xian finished speaking, there was silence in the Pantheon.
There was no big reaction before, but the portraits of Zeng Shen and Li Ke also turned over quietly.
With Yu Xian's words, a new Confucian system was officially born.
It allows people to abandon unworldly logical theories, judge the right and wrong of things with the simplest conscience, and practice all this in life.
This is the Confucian methodology.
Chen Ji almost trembled and asked, "May I ask Yu Zi, what should I call this kind of knowledge?"
Yu Xian could only answer truthfully, "This is called Xin Xue."
"Xin Xue..." Chen Ji muttered a few words to himself, and then bowed to the ground. "Old Chen Ji would like to be the first person to spread the Xin Xue as a disciple."
Performing the discipleship ceremony without mentioning the homage to the disciple is basically equivalent to being a true fan who brings his own dry food.
Yu Xian felt emotional and asked him a few questions.
This Chen Ji is worthy of being a great scholar in the world. With just a few words, he has already understood the core and expressed the essence in a eloquent manner.
Shi Guangyuan's hands kept moving, and Cui Zhouping was beside him in a daze.
Yu Xian was dumbfounded when he heard this. He put away his random thoughts and couldn't help but admired, "Your understanding of the study of mind has already reached its peak."
Chen Ji was startled after hearing this, and then he was overjoyed. He fell to the ground regardless of his age and said, "Disciple thanks my teacher for making me successful."
Yu Xian quickly realized that something bad had happened.
I used idioms blindly a few times, but finally used them in the wrong place.
The origin of "entering the hall into the room" is the sentence in the Analects of Confucius, "You have ascended to the hall, but you have not entered the room."
This was originally a comment made by Confucius about Zilu, but in the context of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which emphasized orderly inheritance, it also represented a high degree of recognition for his disciples.
For example, Ma Rong, a master of Confucian classics, had too many disciples, so only the fifty best could come to the hall and listen to his teachings.
Outer disciple Zheng Xuan worked hard for a long time before he got Ma Rong's approval by chance.
Yu Xian commented on Chen Ji with these words. Putting aside the sincerity of the appreciation, the recognition of identity is what Chen Ji values the most!
Even if he did not follow the current rules, Yu Xian compared himself to Confucius and compared Chen Ji to Zilu. Who is Zilu? He is the second male lead in "The Analects" and one of Confucius's favorite disciples.
This is equivalent to Yu Xian's recognition that Chen Ji is in the inheritance sequence.
Seeing how solemn the old man was, Yu Xian twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn't admit that he was just talking nonsense, so he could only smile and comfort him a few words.
Cui Zhouping and Shi Guangyuan on the side were about to explode.
As the first people to witness the publication of "Xin Xue" and Uncle Yu's loving nephew, they were originally the most promising to become the two heirs of "Xin Xue".
But now how can they have the courage to become brothers with Chen Ji? In this case...
While the two were in a panic, Chen Ji, an old school leader with high political points, had begun to instinctively control his position under the master.
After he came to his senses, he said to the two of them with a smile, "Since you two are lucky enough to learn the Tao together, are you interested in becoming a disciple of Xin Xue? If you are willing, I can take you two in and make a contribution to Chang Wen.
Junior brother."
Damn it!
Cui Zhouping couldn't help it!
Damn it! It’s just that I can’t be a first-generation disciple, but actually my senior brother, a second-generation disciple, was taken away?
The academic world is too damn dark!
He couldn't help but retort, "Zhang Wen still doesn't know what Xinxue is? How can you be my senior brother?"
Chen Ji said to Yu Xian with a fair and selfless face, "Reporting to my teacher, my son Chen Qun has always been a talented person and will definitely bring great success to our sect. Although he is studying abroad now, I think if he knew these small words and great meanings, he would
I will be happy to come under my door."
Hearing this, Yu Xian's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"Chen Qun, Chen Changwen?"
Chen Qun and Chen Changwen, who use the nine-grade Zhongzheng system to determine the grades of people in the world? What the hell is the difference between this and Jiang Ziya who holds the list of gods?
