. The next day, Lin Yanchao got up from the dormitory and found that the weather was already starting to get much colder, and before he knew it, he had been studying at the academy for a month.

The climate of Fujian is very warm, and it is offshore, generally at this latitude, except for winter, there is rarely snow, but now it is the Xiaoice period, after winter, the climate is still suddenly cold, I heard my classmates say that a few days ago there was a light snow in the mountains in the suburbs.

It was snowing in the mountains, indicating that the climate was about to drop to zero, Lin Yanchao got up and added a thick coat, straightened his clothes and went to the water tank next to the house to make a basin of water, took the willow branches soaked last night and dipped them in tooth medicine to rub his teeth, and then washed his face, the water was cold and biting on his face.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky is still bright outside, and the sleeping companions in the number house are already carrying book bags on their backs, and they are walking towards the outer house in twos and threes.

Lin Yanchao walked to the front of the outer house, and saw that most of his classmates were already wearing winter clothes, and the two cold plums in front of the study house were already Turui, and it seemed that they were about to bloom in the cold wind.

These two plum trees are accompanied by their classmates day and night, and when they see that they are about to bloom, all the classmates are standing by.

It wasn't until the chef brought breakfast that the classmates returned to the study room one after another. Lin Yanchao also stopped for a while, and let Hou step into the bookstore.

Soon Lin Liao arrived at the book house and spoke directly about the Analects.

Among the four books, Mencius is the most difficult, and the Analects have the highest status, and the records are the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples.

Since the May Fourth Movement shouted the slogan of 'Down with Confucius', Confucius's status has been almost like a random old man in the history books in the eyes of many post-80s generations of Lin Yanchao's generation. But in Lin Yanchao's current era, Confucius is the spiritual leader of scholars, and he is respected as the most holy teacher.

The most famous in reading the Analects is the full text, Zi said. Zi is an honorific title for the teacher, and the Analects were written in Zengzimen, so the whole article is Kong, and the two of them are called Zi.

Before Lin Liao spoke about the Analects, he highly respected the Analects in his tone, and warned his disciples: "When you look at the Analects of Mencius, you must read them well and have fun. Cut the words of a saint to yourself, not just a speech. People only read two books to cut themselves, and benefit for life. ”

Then Lin Liao said his experience of reading the Analects: "I started reading the Analects at the age of seven or eight, and I already knew the meaning of the text at that time, but the older I got and the longer I read it, the more meaningful it became. ”

Then he contacted Mencius who had been taught before, and compared it with the Analects, Lin Liao said: "Confucius's words are natural, Mencius's words are facts, and you should remember." ”

Lin Liao's remarks are simple to understand, and they just explain the importance of reading the Analects, which is in line with the spirit of the academy to focus on reading and educating people, and to be the last in the industry.

Lin Yanchao sat down in a precarious position, knowing that he was going to teach the first two articles of the Analects today, Lin Yanchao had already reviewed them, and he had read Nan Huaijin's "Analects of Analects" before the crossing, and he was no stranger to the Analects, but at that time, he was afraid of the jerkiness of the ancient texts, and he was unwilling to read the books that were covered in the skin of the Analects on the streets, and really sold chicken soup for the soul, so he chose the book of this master of Chinese studies to read.

At that time, he was only a little interested in Chinese studies, but he didn't expect that after the crossing, Chinese studies would become his food and clothing.

Before coming to the academy, he bought the "Commentary on the Analects" and asked the old master for advice, and this time he happened to use it to corroborate each other with the "Analects Chapters and Sentences" annotated by Zhu Zi. After a long call, Lin Liao began to teach the first article of the Analects, "Learning". Zhu Ziji's note said that this article is the door to the Tao and the foundation of virtue.

Lin Liao was talking above, and Lin Yanchao was listening word for word below, and the pen in his hand was non-stop.

The weather was a little cold, Lin Yanchao's hands were a little stiff, he had to rub his hands from time to time, and the speed of memorizing handouts slowed down.

But even so, Lin Yanchao's concentration in reading has not diminished at all. Seeing this scene, even the other disciples on the side had to admire Lin Yanchao's seriousness in studying.

Chen Xinggui looked at Lin Yanchao's back and pondered there.

In the outer house, Chen Xinggui has a deep background among the many second generations. Although there are no high-ranking officials in his family's direct lineage, there are distant relatives who have been out of the imperial history of the capital, the governor of Yunnan, and such a big man in the local area. In his father's generation, he became a wealthy family in Fujian and Zhejiang, engaged in maritime business, and knew the details of it, that is, he knew that his family's money was like flowing seawater.

It doesn't matter if he reads, he is not like a poor child, he has only one way out of school, even if he is not a talent, it is nothing.

After Chen Xinggui came to study at the academy, he didn't plan to really rely on reading to study, but in line with the intention of making friends, he would make friends with valuable people, and he would not refuse to make friends with worthless ones, and these people could be the resistance of his family in the future. He doesn't dredge up with money, but he is still very popular in the outer house, and he has a lot of appeal.

For Lin Yanchao, he has always felt that this young man is different from others, and now he has risen from the bottom of his heart from the bottom of his heart to the point where he can make friends.

At the end of the class, Lin Yanchao memorized Lin Liao's "Learning" and "Politics" together. There are twenty Analects, and Lin Liao plans to talk about them in ten days, and then spend two days each to talk about "University" and "The Mean".

The importance of the university is needless to mention. Reading and talking about the mean, the mean is an article in the "Book of Rites", written by Zisi.

Zhu Zi said in the preface that when Yao passed on the throne to Shun, he taught the phrase 'Yun Zhi Jizhong', which is known to those who have been to the Forbidden City.

When Shun passed on Yu, the four characters were added to the sixteen characters, which together were the people's hearts were in danger, the Taoist heart was only subtle, but the essence was the only one, and it was allowed to be in the middle of the war. Yao's one sentence is enough, and Shun added three more sentences, so that Yao's sentence is simple and easy for people in the world to understand.

The sixteen characters are the science of Confucianism, the learning of the ancestors, and the teachings of the saints are all in these sixteen characters.

As for the learning of the ancestors, the sixteen-character heart transmission, there have been countless readers who have tried to explain it for thousands of years, but Lin Yanchao feels that Zhu Xi said it very well. Zhu Xi said, although the wisdom cannot be without people's hearts, it is also sexual, so although the fool cannot be without a Taoist heart. The two are mixed between square inches, and if you don't know how to cure it, the more dangerous it is, and the more micro it is.

The meaning of this sentence is that although the sages above are wise, they must not lose the essence of human nature, while the mortals below, although they are foolish, cannot but restrain themselves with wisdom. Wisdom and true temperament are mixed and square, if you are not careful, the sage who is in a high position will be higher and more dangerous, and the mortal who is tiny will be lower and smaller.

Lin Yanchao listened to Lin Liao's lecture on the book of the mean, and felt that he had really benefited a lot. Such incisive words are really long-for-hearted, and they can be heard every day. It's just a pity that Lin Liao only talked for two days, otherwise there would have been more understanding from the middle.

Analects, the mean, after finishing the first half of the course in college, there is one thing during the period, that is, the winter solstice.

In ancient times, the winter solstice was no less important than the end of the year.

During the Winter Solstice Festival, the disciples of the academy were really lively. In the folk saying that the winter solstice is as big as the year, on this day the emperor will personally hold a suburban sacrifice, that is, to sacrifice to the sky, and hundreds of officials will enter the table to congratulate. In the people's homes, they have to worship their ancestors, and the people, whether they have money or not, even if they borrow money, they have to celebrate the festival and buy sacrifices.

In the academy, it is to worship Shengshou, that is, to worship Confucius's birthday, and to release the first teacher. Lin Yin, Lin Liao led the disciples of the academy to worship Confucius first.

Confucius is the most holy teacher, of course, to worship first, the winter solstice ordinary people worship ancestors, scholars sacrifice Confucius, its grand ceremony is no less than Confucius's birthday.

When Lin Yanchao was sacrificing to Confucius, he couldn't help but think that later, Zhu Xi and his disciples preached Taoism with sixteen characters, believing that Taoism was like the way of heaven, inheriting its own context and inheriting the saints.

The study of the first king, Yao Chuanshun, Shun Chuanyu, Yu Chuantang, Yao Shunyu soup is passed on by word of mouth. And hundreds of years later, the study of the first king, and the Zhou inheritance, Tang passed on King Wen of Zhou, King Wu, King Wen, King Wu passed on Duke Zhou, Duke Zhou passed on Confucius, but the interval was too long, so it can only be passed on from the heart, similar to the saying of going to the heart.

After the Duke of Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period collapsed, the rule of Zhou Tianzi was not guaranteed, Confucius's Lu State was the fief of the Duke of Zhou, and Confucius inherited the Taoist system of the Duke of Zhou.

This point Lin Yanchao just learned the Analects is very experienced, Confucius said, Zhou Jian in the second generation, depressed and depressed! I'm from Zhou. The gist is that the culture of the Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, and I studied Zhou.

I also said that I am declining, for a long time, I will no longer dream of Zhou Gong. To the effect that I am old, I haven't dreamed of Zhou Gong for a long time.

After Confucius worshipped, Lin Yin and Lin Liao led his disciples to worship Yasheng Mencius again.

Mencius said, from Confucius to the present, more than 100 years old, to the world of the sage, if it is not far away, close to the residence of the sage, if it is even so. This statement is regarded as the successor of Confucius.

Who was taught by Confucianism after Confucius and Mencius?

Han Yu admired Yang Xiong, saying that he could follow the Confucian Taoism, but the scholars didn't buy it. Yang Xiong changed to Wang Mang, this is a loss of moderation, and Zhuge Liang scolded Yang Xiong for being a villain's Confucianism in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The mountain chief Lin Yin worshiped Mencius, and the following worship was Zhou Dunyi. Zhou Dunyi's learning inherited Confucius and Meng, and set off to Zhu.

After that, Cheng Yi praised his brother Cheng Hao, Zhou Gongxi, the way of the sage is not good; Meng Ke died, and the learning of the saint was not passed on...... Since Mencius, there is only one person.

After worshipping Zhang Zai after the second journey, Zhang Zai said, for the sake of the saints, for the sake of peace.

Zhang Zai's worship is the last is Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi has a saying, since it is, the saints and saints have inherited each other.

This line comes down, that is, the Taoist system respected by science, the way of Confucius and Mencius, followed by Zhou, Cheng, and Zhang Zi; Zhou, Cheng, and Zhang Zi followed, and Zhu Zi followed.

After worshipping the princes, the disciples felt this solemn atmosphere, and they couldn't help but be edified physically and mentally. Lin Yanchao walked out of the dormitory, thinking to himself that this unification theory looked very high, and he could give himself a long face, but he always felt a little like hugging the thighs of the ancients.

The following disciples worship Mr. with the whole salute, and the same students worship each other, and this is the end. In ancient times, when there was no entertainment, festivals were equivalent to the greatest entertainment. The disciples of the academy are all beaming, without the boredom of studying every day, showing the vitality of some young people.

According to custom, on the day of the winter solstice, the northerners eat chaos, the southerners eat glutinous rice balls, and the Fujian land is when they eat rice, that is, glutinous rice balls. It is said that when you eat rice, you can run from time to time, add luck to people, and for readers, it is also to please the lottery, hoping that the Shuowang class can get a good result.
