Luo Qinshun did not go to the School of Physics immediately. Instead, he got two books, "Mathematics" and "Physics", and stayed in his study to read the details slowly.
If you are not proficient in the "Book of Changes", you cannot be called a great Confucian; but if you are proficient in the "Book of Changes", you must be a master of mathematics.
After becoming familiar with numerical symbols, Luo Qinshun finished reading "Mathematics" in half a month, and spent a few days to understand calculus. He did not continue to study in depth because he wanted to understand the school of physics as soon as possible, so he turned to self-study "Physics".
Luo Qinshun was greatly interested in all kinds of novel knowledge and wanted to go to the School of Physics to observe experiments in person.
As the head of the hospital, Wang Yan naturally received him warmly: "Mr. Zheng'an, you can go wherever you want to see, but you must inform us in advance about the laboratory."
"As the Romans do," Luo Qinshun said with a smile.
In order to arouse Luo Qinshun's interest, Wang Yan took the initiative to take him to observe the microscope.
"Headmaster!" A student stood up and greeted.
Wang Yan asked: "What are you observing?"
The student said: "Water bugs."
Wang Yan carefully took out the slide and asked, "Mr. Zheng'an, what do you see on this?"
Luo Qinshun observed carefully: "There are some water stains. And...are these scraps of moss?"
Wang Yan put the slide back and taught Luo Qinshun how to use the microscope: "Mr. Zheng'an, please take another look."
Luo Qinshun lay down curiously, slowly adjusted the multiplier, and suddenly stood up in fright: "What is this?"
Wang Yan smiled and said: "Water bear (water bear)."
"Where did this ferocious-looking insect come from?" Luo Qinshun asked.
Wang Yan replied: "Sediments on the bottom of the water, wet rock and soil, moss and other things can be found everywhere."
Luo Qinshun asked: "Is it also in the water you usually drink?"
Wang Yan said: "Maybe there is, maybe not. Moreover, even if the water is boiled, these water bugs cannot be scalded to death. These bugs can fake death and come back to life."
Luo Qinshun leaned over to observe again. He was a little frightened at first, but after seeing more, he got used to it, and even found these tardigrades quite cute.
After tinkering for a long time, Luo Qinshun finally left the microscope and asked, "Why are you observing these bugs?"
Wang Yan said: "Unknown things and unknown phenomena should be explored and inquired, regardless of whether they are useful or useless. It may be useless today, but it may be useful tomorrow. Who could have imagined before that lenses can be ground from crystal or glass, and they can be used to make lenses.
How about observing extremely distant or extremely small objects? And if you want to observe objects with a telescope or microscope, you need to master the principles related to optics."
Luo Qinshun nodded and said: "I also took a brief look at the book "Physics" and found that your method of studying things is indeed a new approach."
Wang Yan said with a smile: "The book "Physics" is deleted and reprinted once every three years. The "Physics" that Mr. has read may have many omissions. Just like the existence of this light, sunlight, and candlelight, we have recently identified it as a ray of light."
Tiny rays of light. Countless tiny rays of light, which form a beam of light. The sun is a huge luminous body, not fundamentally different from a candle. Only when the sun is big enough, and the illumination is broad enough and far enough, can it break the night. And the moon is probably not
It doesn't emit light, it reflects sunlight like a mirror."
"I'm afraid Qin Tian Jian doesn't agree with your shocking words." Although Luo Qinshun was surprised, he could still maintain his composure.
Wang Yan shook his head: "Qin Tianjian has already agreed. The relevant truth has been confirmed. They helped to do it together."
Luo Qinshun was silent for a long time before saying: "Take me to see the steam engine. This thing benefits all people and harms all people. I want to see its true face."
Wang Yan took Luo Qin to the invention showroom, pointed to a small steam engine and said: "This is it. Add carbon from here..."
Wang Yan not only showed Luo Qinshun the steam engine, but also explained the structure in detail and elaborated on the physical principles of each link.
After walking around the School of Physics, Luo Qinshun said nothing when he left. His academic theory is inherently materialistic, and he even believes that "heart" is material and is the carrier that produces and stores "meaning" - use modern knowledge to understand
, it is very scientific to replace "heart" with "brain".
Wang Yangming said that there is nothing outside the heart, and Luo Qinshun said that the heart is just a thing, and it is just one of all things. It would be strange if the two of them didn't quarrel!
For a materialist qigong master, seeing so many physical inventions and understanding so many physical principles, the shock is simply indescribable.
After returning home, Luo Qinshun wanted to read the philosophical system articles of the School of Physics. After reading them twice, he felt they were very rough. He planned to reorganize the philosophical system for the School of Physics.
What impressed Luo Qinshun was not only the knowledge of physics, but also the research process of the school of physics. It was very difficult to get started, and it became even more difficult after getting started.
Luo Qinshun resolutely opposed the study of mind, not for academic reasons. He admired Wang Yangming, but not Wang Yangming's knowledge. Because he believed that the study of mind could be "quickly achieved" and could be enlightened like Zen, which would definitely attract scholars who are ambitious. However, in addition to being determined,
However, most people will go astray when they practice the mind science, and become mediocre people and hypocrites who talk about the nature of mind. Once the mind science is popularized, it will definitely be poisonous in the world!
Facts have proved that Luo Qinshun was not unfounded. After decades of development, the Xinxue School was completely out of shape. Among the Xinxue disciples, there were indeed capable people with lofty ideals, but the overall quality was very low, not even as good as the traditional Neo-Confucian disciples.
Yangming’s Xinxue is too personal and has too high requirements for students’ talents.
This is like a martial arts. A few people practice it to the point of being awesome, while the vast majority of people practice it to the point of showing off. However, this martial arts can be quickly mastered, inducing countless young people to learn it, and it can be very bluffing when you really encounter it.
When they saw the bandits, they immediately grabbed them and shouted for help.
Things from the school of physics cannot be achieved quickly, and Luo Qinshun is very satisfied with this.
After sitting in the study for three days, Luo Qinshun wrote:
"The transformation of heaven and earth, the birth of characters, the display of ceremonies, the secrets of ghosts and gods, the fortunes of ancient and modern times, the changes of life and death, the response of good and bad luck, regret and miserliness, the explanations are almost indescribable, but they can be summed up in one word: one yin and one yang
It’s called Tao.”
"All things have a Taoist nature that is free and unencumbered, and they are endlessly adaptable. The so-called Taoist body should be separate from one thing and stand outside of things; the so-called things cannot be separated from the Taoist body.
, Even if there is a symbol, there must be someone who does not have a symbol. There is no Tao outside the utensils, and there is no utensils outside the Tao. Metaphysically, it is Tao, and physically, it is utensils, or it can be said: Utensils are also Tao, and Tao is also utensils."
These two passages are countless times more far-fetched than the far-fetched ideas of the physics school, and they clearly point out the academic orthodoxy of the physics school.
A rough summary is as follows: The changes in the world are complex and difficult to describe, and they are called Tao. Zhou Dunyi's "Tai Chi Illustrations" is nonsense. Tai Chi is inseparable from Yin and Yang, and Tao is inseparable from utensils. Tao is utensils, and utensils are Tao.
The object of study of the physical school is instruments, but in the final analysis, it is studying Tao, which is also the study of things to achieve knowledge.
This directly refutes the views of opponents of the physical school, who say that the physical school values tools rather than doctrine.
There are also opponents who say that the laws studied by the school of physics are "the nature of things" rather than "the way of things". Luo Qinshun directly refuted it this way: "The reason is called the heart, and what the heart has is called the nature... The heart of the Tao
, Xingye, Xing is the body of Tao..."
Continuing with this statement, it explains why the school of physics studies all things: "The reason why nature is difficult to describe is that it is difficult to understand the word "li", and the word "qi" is often used to hinder the ears... The reason is very specific, but the words are extremely simple, and
It can be deduced that the principles of the world are all inexhaustible. The same is true in heaven, the same is true in people, and the same is true in things...The principle is the nature of heaven and earth, and the distinction is the nature of temperament."
A brief summary is as follows: The School of Physics studies the nature of all things because the truth is difficult to describe and the Dao of Qi Li is difficult to obtain directly. It can only be discovered from the carrier of "Tao", "nature" (physical laws). The principles of heaven and earth are the same.
(Principle 1), but the appearance is different in all things (divided), and "Principle 1, divided," is common, that is, the school of physics can obtain the "property" between heaven and earth by studying the "organic properties" of different things.
Daoxin".
The entire article is more than 3,000 words long, with extensive citations and subtle expositions. It also refuted many "fallacies" of the sages. Even the great Confucian scholars could not find any loopholes.
Even the School of Physics was criticized for only knowing about dead objects and not knowing the morality of people's hearts. This aspect was blocked by Luo Qinshun. He said: "The mind can think, and the principles of human nature can be obtained by thinking...
The spirit of the human heart is omniscient, so it can be called a saint. However, it is omniscient, so it can deduce the number of things and understand the principles of things. Now that the physics is known, what doubts can there be?
If you observe carefully, even a sage may not be able to do it easily... The wonders that can be understood are the spirit of the mind; and the principles that are understood are the so-called Tao. If you think that the spirit is the Tao, you are wrong."
Keywords: Physics has been obtained, why should I doubt it?
Now that we know the way of all things, what else can we doubt? Even benevolence, justice and morality can be observed and summarized in practice. This thing is similar to physics - by the way, it refutes Wang Yangming's "mind is reason", that is, thinking that spirit is
Tao is a wrong view.
…
When Wang Yuan got this article, he was immediately impressed with admiration. There is not a single physical experiment or a single physical formula in the entire article, but it establishes the Confucian orthodoxy of the school of physics. Engaging in physical research is the pursuit of the great road of heaven and earth!
This old man considered himself orthodox in Neo-Confucianism. He not only refuted Lu Jiuyuan, Chen Baisha, and Wang Yangming, but also denounced Zhou Dunyi, Zhu Xi, Cheng Yi and other Neo-Confucian masters.
Ordinary scholars may not be able to see it, but the great Confucians can definitely appreciate the smell of gunpowder. The whole article is full of crazy curses. Zhu Xi is wrong here, Li Chengyi is wrong here, Zhou Dunyi is wrong here, Wang Yangming is wrong here... Anyway, I am wrong.
It's right, and I elaborated rigorously, and I also analyzed why they were wrong!
Wang Yan said weakly: "Sir, my disciples have counted that there are four places in this article that refute Duke Yangming, and the refutations are very reasonable."
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I saw it."
Wang Yan wondered: "If this article is published in Acta Physica Sinica, I'm afraid it will be disrespectful to our teacher. After all, we are all disciples of mind science."
Wang Yuan admonished: "In the study of physics, one should respect the teacher but not follow the teacher. Everything should be based on practice. Have you forgotten? Don't judge what is right or wrong, just publish the article."
The article soon appeared in Acta Physica Sinica, and physics students suddenly realized that I am the orthodox Confucian, and there is no need to be shy about showing it to others in the future!
At the same time, the School of Physics has an additional plaque with the message: The principles are different.
This is the most valuable point in the whole article. When the Qi is not separated, the Dao is the same; when the Qi is divided and evolves all things, different physical properties appear. Research and observation summarize these physical properties.
If they become many, they can be combined into a great road and gain a glimpse of the truth of heaven and earth!
Unfortunately, Luo Qinshun did not want to join the school of physics. He still insisted on his Qi studies, but he often visited the School of Physics.
Every time they come to the School of Physics, students hold the disciple ceremony to express their respect for Luo Qinshun.
(I recommend an imaginary historical novel "The Crown Prince Is Very Fierce". The heroine is the empress and the queen mother of the dynasty... You can criticize this kind of morally corrupt protagonist.)
