Chapter 257: What is Etiquette? (3rd Update)

When he got closer, Tang Hao saw clearly that the collar of the Taoist priest in front of him was embroidered with five-colored silver edges, while the collar of the crazy Taoist was embroidered with nine-colored gold edges, and he didn't know what the difference was.

"Where, where, the Storm Leader is indeed getting younger and younger, unlike an old man like me, who may return to the west one day with a kick of his legs."

"Hehe, Brother Zhou is really modest, if nothing else, Brother Zhou will definitely live for a thousand years." The words of the Wind Dao Commander are really flattering on the surface, but secretly they are actually damaging Zhou Bowen, isn't it Wang Ba who has been for thousands of years.

"Hehe, the Wind Path Leader really thinks too highly of the old man and me, if I can really live for a thousand years, the Wind Tunnel Leader will definitely live for 10,000 years, this old man is absolutely sure."

The two of you come and go, flattering on the surface, but secretly sarcastic, one satirizes Wang Ba, and the other alludes to the turtle, it seems that this so-called literary exchange conference is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Who is this little brother?" At this time, the head of the wind road seemed to have just seen Tang Hao beside him.

"This is Master Tang Hao, a distinguished lecturer and deputy director of the Chinese Academy." Without waiting for Tang Hao to answer, Zhou Bowen on the side stood up with pride on his face.

"Oh? At such a young age, he is already the deputy director of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies, which is amazing, it seems that the Chinese Academy is really full of talents, so young, he is already the deputy director, which really makes me ashamed. ”

"The wind road has won the award, the ability is not divided into age, there is no difference in the size of Chinese culture, the capable live in it, age is nothing more than a representative of a person's life experience, does not represent a person's ability, if the older the ability, the stronger the ability, then the society simply does not need to recruit, just look for those who are older." Tang Hao was indifferent, and his speech was even more unceremoniously, seeing the wind in front of him, it seemed to be a compliment on the surface, but in fact it had always been secretly sarcastic, Tang Hao naturally would not be polite.

"Oh? Haha, a good sentence of ability regardless of age, no matter how big or small Chinese culture is, the old Tao has been taught. At this time, the Wind Dao Leader seriously glanced up and down at Tang Hao, and the look in his eyes was very strange.

At this moment, the Western bell rang in the distance, reminding the people inside that the debate of the Literary Exchange Conference had begun.

From this point not only to see the sadness of Chinese culture, but also to see that the Chinese people have a kind of unconfidence in Chinese culture has penetrated into the bones, as if now everything is not stained with a little Westerner, as if it is inferior, the funny thing is that hundreds of years ago this situation happened to be reversed, and all foreigners are extremely proud to have a Celestial Empire object.

"Haha, it's already started, Brother Zhou, Director Tang, Lao Dao will leave first, and continue later." The Storm Dao Leader looked at Tang Hao carefully with a smile on his face, and then put his hands behind his back and walked towards the front with a large group of Taoist priests.

"Be careful of this old Taoist, he is the suzerain of Taoism, and he is also the leader of Taoism, and he has always been the top three in the Chinese Literature Exchange Conference."

Tang Hao nodded, as expected, this person is a Taoist person, and he was a little suspicious before seeing his clothes Tang Hao, but when he heard what Zhou Bowen said, it seems that this debate conference is a little interesting.

Since Taoism has appeared, then Mohism and Confucianism will naturally appear together.

Sure enough, Tang Hao had just finished thinking about it, when a group of middle-aged people wearing brown linen clothes and pants walked in with indifferent expressions, these people were also carrying a sharp sword on their backs, and from the outside, they looked like people in the ancient martial arts.

The descendants of the Mo family often regard themselves as ink scholars, mostly with fur brown as clothes, with trampling as clothing, day and night, with self-suffering as the extreme, saying: "It can't be like this, the way of non-Yu is not enough to say ink." ("Zhuangzi Tianxia") "Qiu Brown" is a coarse garment, worn by the poor.

Although these people in front of them are not wearing rough clothes, from the outside, they are not far apart.

The people of the Mo family walked in front of Tang Hao and them with an indifferent expression, and they didn't even say hello to Zhou Bowen, they were really a little arrogant, and the coldness of the Mo family was also famous among the hundreds of sons.

However, the heavy order of the Mo family is also Tang Hao's ambition.

At this moment, another group of people came over, Shi Hengdao was still wearing the same clothes that had not changed for a hundred years, walked over with a smile on his face, and bowed to Tang Hao.

"Master Tang, long time no see." Shi Hengdao was not only stunned by Zhou Bowen beside him, but the people around him also had shocked looks, and the head of the Mo family, Mo Fei, who was standing in front of him, turned his head with a look of surprise.

Shi Hengdao is one of the three teachers of Chinese culture, not to mention enjoying a high status in the domestic literary circle, even among many entrepreneurs, especially Yanjing entrepreneurs, he is also quite famous.

The influence of literature and reality is combined, and Confucianism can be said to be the best among the hundreds of schools of the people.

The dignified Confucian master was so polite to a young man, and even bent down to salute, the scene in front of him naturally shocked the people present.

"Mr. Shi is unharmed, and his demeanor is better than in the past." Tang Hao is very natural, he doesn't think that Shi Hengdao is lowering his own value and raising himself, the reason why this is so is completely arbitrary, Confucianism pays attention to doing without desire, and Taoism's desirelessness is just the same thing, which is the core idea of Confucianism.

"Hehe, it's okay, the old bones are not bad." Shi Hengdao and Tang Hao greeted each other, and nodded at Zhou Bowen on the side, although Zhou Bowen is one of the three saints of Chinese culture, but the unique arrogance of fellow scholars and literati makes them not accept anyone, so naturally they can't be polite, not to mention that last year the two were still red-faced because of the dispute between orthodoxy and Xinxue.

Zhou Bowen also nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a greeting.

"Hehe, what a coincidence, the master of the sect also came so early today." The Tempest Leader walked over with a smile on his face.

"Hurricane Dao Commander is polite, I'm the latest to arrive, so why talk about arriving early." As he spoke, Shi Hengdao also glanced at Mo Fei, who was standing not far away.

"The master's words are wrong, after the so-called heavy axis press, the last one of the master of the master of the sect appears today, obviously thinking that the three families of Confucianism, Taoism, and Mo are combined into one, with the master of the sect as the leader." As soon as the head of the Wind Dao opened his mouth, the smell of gunpowder was very strong, and as soon as the words fell, Shi Hengdao's eyebrows jumped, and Mo Fei, who was standing not far away and looking at this, changed his expression even more.

"The words of the Storm Dao Chief are wrong, the so-called master is the first, and the Wind Dao Leader is the first to appear, he must want to be the head of my Confucian, Dao, and Mo families." Shi Hengdao's faint words made the Storm Dao Chief's expression change, and then he burst out laughing.

"I'm just one step earlier, so how can I be the head of the two brothers?"

"The old man is just a step late, and he can't talk about the heavy axis finale," Shi Hengdao is worthy of being one of the three saints of Chinese culture, this indifferent word, but it was said that the wind path chief was a little unable to answer for a while, and then, the wind road leader turned his head to look at Tang Hao beside him.

"Just now, I saw that the master of the sect gave the gift of a disciple to the head of the Tang Museum, could it be said that the master of the master is already a lecturer of the Chinese Studies Museum?" The head of the Storm Dao pretended to be surprised, and without waiting for Shi Hengdao to speak, Tang Hao said.

"Mr. Shi and I are old friends, since ancient times, Confucianism has many etiquettes, and the etiquette of Confucianism is the best in the world, and it is unknown to the head of the Wind." Tang Hao's indifferent words alluded to the fact that the Storm Dao Leader was not polite, and the etiquette was far from Shi Hengdao.

How could the Wind Dao Leader not understand, his expression immediately changed, and then he laughed.

"The old friend is really different, I deeply admire the old way, but what does this gift mean? I am deeply puzzled, I don't know if Master Tang can guide me to the old way, and point one or two? ”

"Qu Li" said: "Morality and righteousness, incivility is not successful, the lesson is fair, and incivility is not prepared." Divide the argument and lawsuit, and the indecent indecisiveness is not resolved. In Confucius's ideological system, it is inseparable from "benevolence". Confucius said: "If people are not benevolent, what is the courtesy? He advocated the rule of virtue of "morality and courtesy", breaking the restriction of "courtesy is not inferior to people". In the Warring States Period, Mencius regarded benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom as the basic moral norms, and etiquette as the "heart of resignation", which became one of the virtues of people. And Confucius and Mencius were both Confucian people, and it can be seen from this that it is not an exaggeration to say that Confucianism is a model of etiquette. ”

Shi Hengdao on the side nodded proudly, and Tang Hao's praise made Shi Hengdao quite useful.

However, the face of the Storm Dao Leader on the side changed drastically, and then he looked at Tang Haodao.

"Master Tang, I asked what is a courtesy, what is the use of a courtesy, not for you to recite allusions and talk about the past." The Storm Dao Leader said and glanced at Shi Hengdao beside him.

"Etiquette is the four principles, the principle of "respect", the principle of "compliance", the principle of "moderation", and the principle of "self-discipline". It is a courtesy not to harm the interests of the other party, but at the same time to maintain self-esteem, just like the words between the Storm Dao Leader and me, you ask me and I answer, and do not shirk the blame, it is a courtesy. ”

"Okay." Zhou Bowen on the side nodded his head: "The old man who said what Master Tang said quite agrees, "Book of Rites" cloud: governing the country with etiquette is "the official gets his body, and the political affairs are his own", and if the country is rude, "the official loses his body, and the government loses his punishment", and the conclusion is: "The etiquette is prosperous, and the people are also governed; The rites are abolished, and the people are in chaos." Therefore, society is inseparable from etiquette, and Master Tang's words just now really opened the old man's ears and amazed him, okay. ”

"Huh." A hint of anger flashed in the Wind Leader's eyes, but he soon returned to normal.

"Master Tang is really eloquent, but if the old Taoist asks, Master Tang is a lecturer of debate, so he naturally understands the allusions, I don't know what the word debate means, what is the explanation?"

"Speaking of which, I have some connections with the Mo family."

Mo Fei, who was looking over from the side, suddenly moved, and looked at Tang Hao's eyes with a hint of curiosity.
