Chapter 869: What the First Draft of the Analects Looks Like
"Just by looking at your Zisi, you can see that you have changed a lot." Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and said very seriously.
Zeng Shen withdrew his gaze from Xiao Yan's back and looked at Le Ge. Seeing that Le Ge was looking at him, he hurriedly responded: "Uncle Le! I? ”
"If it was before? Have you ever been to a conference like this? If Zisi doesn't come back to worship his ancestors, you have to tie him back. Isn't it? And your husband, Confucius, isn't he? But! In his later years, everything changed. Less obsessive, stubborn, and more flexible. ”
Zeng Shen interrupted: "Uncle Le! You still don't understand my sir. My husband Confucius he! Not that kind of person! It's not that it won't be flexible, but! Flexible. ”
Le Ge raised his right hand to stop: "Don't argue with me about this issue and this matter, we have already argued before. Isn't it? I've given examples before, let's take the hole carp as an example. Kong Carp said! Only his father said it, and no one else said it. He said that if you are justified, you will be justified. If he says that you are unreasonable, he will be able to find a reason why you are unreasonable. Don't tell me anything. I don't believe it! That's exactly what happened. ”
"This?"
"And! The facts speak for themselves! Your husband Confucius, is he a flexible man? No! He is a stubborn and inflexible person. For example! His self-denial. Don't? Is he using it flexibly? Flexible? ”
"That's the bottom line!" Zeng Shen argued: "There is a bottom line in life!" My husband has a bottom line! ”
"And what's your bottom line?"
"This?" Zeng Shen stalked his neck and said, "Our bottom line is what Mr. taught us!" So! We're going to put it in the Analects. ”
"You're a mess, and the right to interpret is yours!"
"Uncle Le! You? ”
"You didn't make the problem clear at all, a lot of things didn't figure it out, you? Alas! I don't even know what to say about you? I don't know what to say about you? ”
"Uncle Le!"
"First of all! In your new edition of the Analects, you did not determine the source of man, the source of man, the source of the universe. In this respect, you are very vague. I have talked to your husband Confucius before, but! Your husband just doesn't accept Taoism, doesn't accept Lao Tzu's statement. And! He also got into a conversation with Lao Tzu about this matter. Isn't it? And you! In the past, when I debated, it was similarly vaguely defined. Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"You don't know the origin of human beings, the origin of all things, and you are confused, so how can you talk about life?"
"This?" Zeng Shen thought for a while and exclaimed: "I remember, in the past, Zilu and others asked Mr., and I heard that Mr. ignored him. Mr. said! How can a man know about ghosts and gods when he is alive? ”
"Then why didn't you write it into the Analects?" Lege asked.
"Written! I wrote my previous manuscript. ”
"Wrote it before? Why didn't I see it? ”
"Isn't it?" Zeng Shenzhi said: "After I wrote the first draft, I showed it to Zigong and them. But they didn't agree and demanded that this be deleted! ”
"First draft?"
"It's the first draft! First draft! Zeng Shen explained: "Not at that time? We are all guarding the grave of my husband? Just in the bits and pieces of Mr. Memory, isn't it? Got the idea to write the Analects? This is not? They just asked me to write it? This is not? I wrote a first draft and showed it to them. ”
"Then you write your first draft again, and let me see it!"
"This?" Zeng Shen touched his head anxiously and said, "I don't know how many first drafts I wrote!" I? Wrote a lot! I? I can't even remember! Isn't it? They weren't satisfied, so they deleted a lot of stuff. ”
"I think?" Le Ge thought for a while and said, "Your first draft may be the most correct and best!" Pity! They were denied by Zigong. And then! It's become what it is now, and it's getting more and more impossible to make up! Alas! ”
"This?"
"Say no more! You hurry back and write the first draft. Hand it over to me first. And then! According to the idea of the first draft, write the new content into it......"
"New content?"
"That's it! What you haven't collected when you write your first draft. ”
"Oh?"
"When you wrote the first draft of the Analects, where did you know so much? Isn't it? How do you know what the gentleman said to whom? Who asked the gentleman what to say? Isn't it? These! It's new. When you write your first draft, you don't have that much content at all? Isn't it?"
"Yes!" Zeng Shen Dao.
"I believe in your first draft!" Le Ge nodded affirmatively towards Zeng Shen.
"This?"
"Because you were very seriously influenced by Taoist doctrine and thought at that time, and you were not yet swayed by Zigong and others. So! The first draft that was written in this situation is very good. Later, after being swayed by Zigong and others, you had to make changes in order to cater to them? ……”
"This?"
"Didn't you say that? Zigong and others donated the most money? ”
"This?"
"Not yet? For the sake of money, can you disrespect their opinions? Isn't it? ”
"This?" Zeng Shen tried to refute and argue, but he stopped thinking about it.
"Isn't it? You also said just now that Zigong donated the most money, so! You bring the manuscript to him and show it to him. Isn't it? Why don't you show me first? Not yet? I didn't take much money, did I? Isn't it? ”
"This? I? Zeng Shen was so anxious that his face was red.
"So! You've changed! So! In order to cater to them, you have to rewrite them according to their ideas and ideas! Isn't it? ”
"Me?"
Zeng Shen wanted to say: Isn't it? Can I not cater to them? Otherwise? Where does the money come from? All the money they donated is with me! It's all in my custody.
Especially Zigong! Can you disrespect him? He takes the most money! And! People are also better talking. So! I consulted him about everything.
It's not just me! The others were the same, they all believed in Zigong and were willing to be close to him.
"Do you want me to say more? First draft! I want a first draft! You sort out the first draft for me and show it to me. And then! On the basis and framework of the first draft, we added some content and deleted some content. Such! I dare say! It's absolutely perfect. ”
"This?" Zeng Shen said with a sad face: "Uncle Le! How much time does that take? I? ”
"You're still afraid of taking time? For the future of humanity! To be responsible! Can you not take some time? Let alone! It took us so many years to write a satisfactory copy of the Analects. Don't? Isn't this a waste? Is it a toss in vain? ”
"This?"
"It shouldn't take much time just to sort out the first draft, right? Isn't it? ”
