Chapter 1177: Fang Shi is learning
Yang Ding's voice was not loud, but everyone on the field, including Yang Zheng, could still hear it clearly, Yang Zheng wrinkled, and before he could speak, he heard the applause of the crowd.
This is the "Pingwu Dahe" sent by Annan this time, this text is a kind of edict to warn the people of Annan and the Ming Dynasty, it is rare that this edict absorbs the concise writing of ancient Chinese dictionaries: for example, in Su Xun's "Treatise on the Six Kingdoms" of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Qin State is taken as one side, and the Six Kingdoms (Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei) are taken as the side, showing the intricate shape of the Warring States Period. However, at the same time, the "Pingwu Great Message" describes each important battle in a very specific way, and the date is specified one by one, which can not only report the battle situation, but also create the effect of frequent good news.
In terms of narration, he injects personal emotional experience: Ruan Di participated in the anti-Ming uprising of Le Lê, and wrote "Ping Wu Dahu" for Le Lê, in which he brought out his emotional experience of the war against the Ming Dynasty through the "Yu" (referring to Le Lê) with the tone of the king. For example, the text mentions that "Yu strives to go to the Blue Mountains, live in the wilderness, and read the world, how can he wear it together, and swear that it is difficult to live with a thief." Those who are heartbroken have been hanging for more than ten years, and those who have tasted the courage of lying on the salary are not covered for a day. Angry and forgetful, every time I study and talk about the book of Tao Strategy, that is, the ancient and the present, carefully study the reason of the rise and fall, the will to return, and never forget", it is based on the author's own thoughts and feelings, so it is real and touching to read. Even Yang Zheng, a person who does not understand the ancient text, can also hear the heroic righteousness in it, quite a bit of Song Lian's "Ming Tai Ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang Fengtian Seeks Mengyuan Northern Expedition Text" flavor, at the beginning of this article, it reveals the idea of "benevolence and righteousness, to settle the people, to hang the division of the army, do not go to the violence first". Then he put forward that "only the country of Dayue is actually a state of literature, the feudal domain of mountains and rivers is different, and the customs of the north and south are also different" to demonstrate the rationality of the independent actions of the Yue people.
Subsequently, the article also recounts the history of the wars between China and Vietnam, first briefly describing Wu Quan's achievements in defeating the Yue people in the Southern Han Dynasty, the Song-Yue Xining War, and the Mongolia-Vietnam War, and then mentions the chaotic period of "rebellion" after the Ming Dynasty occupied the Dayue Kingdom, accusing the Ming people of all kinds of crimes of "deceiving the heavens and reckless people" in Vietnam, reflecting the Confucian people-oriented thought.
Later, Xu Lili launched the Blue Mountain Uprising, and the hardships of resisting the Ming Dynasty and founding the country are vividly remembered. However, Li Li persevered, and after a period of hard work, his power continued to grow and develop, and he successively won decisive military victories in the Battle of Lai Dong (also known as 𡨧 Cave) and the Battle of Zhiling. As a result, the Ming government decided to withdraw its troops, and the Li Li forces were also willing to "reconcile with sincerity" with the Ming army. The article points out that the essence of Li Li's victory over the Ming Dynasty is "to defeat the ferocious with righteousness, and to be easy to be violent with benevolence", which is also the central point of this article.
Finally, the article mentions that Le Li won independence and restoration for the Great Viet Kingdom, which is really a great contribution, "Sheji has laid peace with it, the mountains and rivers have been improved, the Qiankun has been restored, and the sun and the moon have been obscure and restored." In order to open the foundation of peace for all generations, and to the infinite shame of the snow through the ages", so at this historical moment, "the birth of the new message, broadcast far and wide, and make the salt known". In short, the whole article is full of emotion, the narrative is smooth, the righteousness is awe-inspiring, the literary brilliance is flying, and a variety of rhetorical techniques such as duality and comparison are used, and it has high historical and literary value, which can be called an outstanding work.
But after reading it carefully, the content is partially exaggerated and inaccurate, and there is a lot of slander against the Ming Dynasty, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, he is not ashamed, and he actually shouts at the other party's literary brilliance, which can't help but make him feel a little angry.
In fact, these people may not have failed to understand the other party's slander of Daming, but the literati habit is difficult to change, attracted by the beauty of the other party's articles, and forget the other party's purpose, seeing this result, Yang Zheng can't help but feel a little helpless.
"Looks like it's time for something to change?" Yang Zheng sighed softly, since he came to this era inexplicably, the longer the days, the more he loves this era, and he always wants to do something for this era, so he took the risk of being the prince, risking to exterminate what Maitreya Sect and resisting the Tartars, and now admonishing the emperor to pacify Annan, he is silently making some changes for the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming of this era stronger and richer, although no one forced him to do this, this is the most painful, knowing that he can't do it, It is undoubtedly a road full of thorns, but it has begun, no matter how hard it is, these days of the Hanlin Academy, he has consciously made changes, he does not go to class on the four books and five classics, not to mention Zhu Xi, and even the way of Confucius and Mencius is rarely mentioned, for this reason he took "Words in the World" as the blueprint, mainly lectured on poetry, so as to change the blind spot of the popular and unpragmatic Daming literature, it can be said that the effect is still significant, and he even wants to start from several other aspects to completely change the Ming Dynasty's pursuit of gorgeous rhetoric and the literary style of nothing. thus bringing a literary and artistic revival to the Ming Dynasty.
For this reason, he was thinking about this problem yesterday, since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has taken scholars with eight shares, and students must be familiar with the four books and five classics, and be familiar with the way of Confucius and Mencius, the consequences of this cannot be said to be bad, but one thing is certain, it restricts the reader to have more space, hinders the development of culture, and stifles the cultivation of talents. In order to pass the examination, many scholars only focus on studying the scriptures and studying the eight stocks, and do not pay attention to practical problems. After being an official in the examination, most of them only care about how to wear the black gauze hat on their heads high and steadily, and the rest of the others rarely care, plus the Ming Dynasty since Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xi has pursued Zhu Xi's "A thousand words of a sage only teach people to preserve heavenly principles and destroy human desires", "Scholars must reform people's desires, restore heavenly principles, and then start learning" ("Zhu Zi's Language" Volume 4) "Ask: 'Between diets, which is the heavenly principle, which is the human desire?'" He said, "Those who eat and drink, the heavens are also; Ask for deliciousness, people want to also. Although Zhu Xi advocates rational insight, people are blinded by their own selfishness, so they can't see their true appearance, so they can't understand the truth of heaven and earth, and if they want to experience and find the common truth of all things, they must get rid of people's selfishness.
Mencius put forward the study of "dedication", "heart", and "cultivation of the heart", "dedication" is to achieve self-transcendence in understanding, "intellectual knowledge of heaven"; "Keeping the heart" is also "cultivating the heart", that is, cultivating the nature and knowing the sky, so Mencius said: "Cultivating the heart is not good at having few desires." Confucius said, "Sex is similar, and Xi is far away." (The Analects•
Confucius means that people are different, but there are many things in common at the beginning, but because of the habits and temperaments, they become very complex and diverse, Mencius believes that people's "true self" is the same on this issue, why is it different? Mainly because of people's selfish desires, he advocated to transcend the "self" and realize the "true self", which is also an aspect of his exertion of Confucius's thoughts, and it is also a place for him to leave a place for the Song and Ming Dynasty scholars to play. Cheng Hao put forward the idea of "preserving heavenly principles and removing human desires", and he, like Zhu Xi, came from "reason". This kind of doctrine has very little room to play, which is also the brilliant achievements of the Tang and Song dynasties in Chinese culture since the Ming Dynasty.
At first, Yang Zheng thought about starting from Western philosophy, poetry, architecture, machinery, shipbuilding, aesthetics, physics, law, art, pharmacy, mathematics, astronomy, rhetoric, and grammar to make earth-shaking changes.
But this choice is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, first this is an encyclopedic change, without decades, or even a hundred years of efficacy is difficult to see the results, and at this time the Renaissance has just spread, has not yet formed a scale, many books have not been formed, although he is known for two generations, but after all, he is not an encyclopedic character, so in this choice, he really wandered for a long time, and finally thought, the effect of literature and art can not be a blockbuster, it is better to start from architecture, physics, Mechanical practical disciplines to start, these things work quickly, the cycle is short, once implemented, those scholars will be amazed.
But soon he gave up, since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, immediately began the Ming Dynasty's household registration system, the classification of the Ming Dynasty's household registration, can be clear: the third class of ordinary households: the people, the army, the craftsman. The people have Confucianism, medicine, yin and yang. The army has captains, strong men, bows, and soldiers. There are cooks, tailors, horses and boats, and so on. There are salt stoves along the sea. There are monks in the temple, and there are Taoist priests in the temple. He is a professional author. Households are judged by registration, and it is forbidden to have several surnames attached to households. If the practical disciplines of architecture, physics, and machinery can really be implemented, of course, they will be secretly praised by the scholars, and they will be regarded more as miraculous skills and silver ingenuity, so fundamentally, this choice cannot meet Yang Zheng's requirements to change the Ming Dynasty, which is also where he is distressed.
These days have been thinking about this question, where to start, to this moment in today's Hanlin Academy, he still does not know where to start, until everyone to Annan's article, obviously there is content to slander Daming, just because the words are beautiful and the momentum is extraordinary, everyone forgets the hostile sides, which shocks him, and suddenly remembers Lu Xun's early years of studying at Sendai Medical College in Japan, one day, during class, a film shown in the classroom was a Chinese who was said to be a Russian detective, The Japanese soldiers who were about to be held steel were beheaded for public display, and many of the Chinese standing around to watch, although they were as strong and strong as the Japanese, were all indifferent and had numb expressions on their faces.
At this time, a Japanese student next to him said: "Looking at the numb appearance of these Chinese, you know that China will definitely perish!" When Lu Xun heard this, he suddenly stood up and cast two majestic and unyielding glances at the Japanese who spoke. He walked out of the classroom with his head held high. His heart was surging like the sea. A Chinese who was tied up by five flowers, a group of insensitive spectators flashed through his mind one by one, and Lu Xun thought that if the Chinese's minds were not enlightened, even if they cured their diseases, they would only be meaningless materials and spectators. What China needs most now is to change people's mental outlook. He finally made up his mind to abandon medicine and follow literature, and use his pen to write articles to awaken the Chinese people. Since then, Lu Xun took literature as his goal, used the pen in his hand as a weapon, and wrote many works such as "The Scream" and "Diary of a Madman", which challenged the dark old society and awakened tens of thousands of Chinese children.
