Chapter 415: Debate
The second day was the Xin Family Cultural Meeting, Zhang Fei and Ou Yejian were not interested in this way, so they stayed in the Liu family, and Liu Lan was actually not interested, but Guo Xi was invited, plus I heard that thousands of people came to the Cultural Conference this year, and Liu Lan, who wanted to try his luck, of course wanted to see if he could find a few talents, and at this moment, with a 'murderous face', he went out of the Guo Mansion and ran to the Xin family with Guo Lin and Guo Tu father and son.
Xin Jiawen will be held for three days, the first day of the main theme of the content of the "theory", what is the topic of the discussion is said to be a temporary idea, so he knows more than others, and the second day is the debate, as for what to argue, the meaning or the classics do not know, the third day is poetry, the subject matter is not limited, but the poetry of the last day is more like a separate gathering, everyone makes poetry to drink and enhance feelings.
Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the major families have built dock forts outside to defend themselves, and moving back to the city is still a matter of the last few months, and the Xin family is not as rich as the Guo family.
Fuyang Li is seven or eight miles away from Yang Zhai, less than an hour to arrive, the fort is very quiet, the road is paved with bluestone slabs, there are some elm trees and mulberry trees on both sides, they are neatly arranged, and the crown is connected.
The venue has built a high platform, the crowd is three floors, these three floors can have a doorway โ โ ., the last layer is simply to observe, and the first layer is to go on stage to compete with other students, and this middle layer, is not high or low, there is no tongue and eloquence on the stage, to the third floor, but it is burdened by false fame, so it is the most uncomfortable in such a not embarrassing position.
Today, Cai Yan is at the forefront. And it's relatively advanced, to be honest, as far as Liu Lan knows. If Cai Yan's eloquence is really a few streets worse than the literary talents known by later generations, it seems that this is all because of Liu Lan's enlightenment last night. Of course, Liu Lan, the initiator, didn't know that it was because of his words that the little girl had a little strong temperament, even if she knew that she was invincible, she had to tell the world that women could still stand on the high platform like men.
Standing out from the crowd, although the little girl is a little thinner, but the face is still very cute, although the beauty is exaggerated but pleasing to the eye, it is almost the same, and in this group of big men, such a beautiful landscape suddenly appeared How can it not attract people's eyes, but everyone and everyone's eyes are different, but most of them are disdainful and even jealous. If it is usual. The little girl who is clean and self-conscious wants to quit if she says anything under such a gaze, but today he didn't, even if she is defeated, she has to prove that it is not impossible.
It was Xin Ping who took the stage, with long hair under his jaw, thick eyebrows slightly raised, a straight nose, and purple lips. He has slightly dark skin, wears a Confucian robe, wears a crown, and holds a fan in his hand. He is the first debater today, and of course, he needs to draw out today's debate.
Xin Ping strode on the high platform. There was an instant whisper of gasping cold air all around, you must know that Yang Zhaiwen will meet once a year. The four families took turns for the first three years. Xin Ping is one of the top names, although the difference is in the poetry, but whether it is debate, or theory, it is called a passionate, side recruitment, and countless students with some literary names are crushed, and this year, everyone thought that the Xin family would send Xin Bi to play for his brother, but he didn't expect that it was his eldest brother who took the lead, which made many students standing in the middle circle secretly happy.
It's just that the non-math students present feel strange that Xin Ping has been speechless after taking the stage, as if he was waiting for someone, for a while, Xin Ping's lips finally began to move after getting a hint from a person in the distance, and if Cai Yan was on the high platform at the moment, he would definitely find that the person in the distance was not Wei Zhongdao.
I only listened to Xin Ping talking eloquently on the high platform, and said: "Meng Ke, donkey people, the people who are ...... by the door of Ye Zi Si" The students in the audience understood that Xin Ping was talking about Mencius in Sima Qianzhong, and he not only recited this article like a stream, but also said it in a low tone, so that a large group of students in the audience, especially the students who came to the last layer to audit, were immediately shocked, but such a crowd was also on the second and third floors, and there was not much repercussions when they arrived at the first floor, especially the little girl Cai Yan standing in front of her head, who was even more silent, But what I was thinking about was using Mencius as a guide, but I didn't know what the topic of today's debate was.
Mencius studied diligently day and night, and became a famous Confucian in the world.
After Xin commented on it, he glanced at Cai Yan's direction unnoticed, and a look of resistance flashed in his eyes, Cai Yan, Cai Yong's daughter, the woman who is loved by his good friend Wei Zhongdao, since he has friends today, he naturally wants to match the marriage for the two. After he finished speaking, not only did he not stop, but he also gushed endlessly: "Mingke, Zou Ren, Zisi disciple." And this time it was Liu Xiang who recited it.
After Xin commented on it, the person who had been waiting finally appeared, and when he looked at Cai Yan, he found that he seemed to have noticed the arrival of that person, and looked in his direction, and let Miss Cai know today that these people who are not self-sufficient are 108,000 miles behind the Wei family brothers.
Seeing that he found out that Cai Yan was actually coming to the first layer, and was still thinking about how to use Xin Ping, who had operated on his brother, he immediately had an idea, and he was about to lead to the main topic, he suddenly recited two more articles, and asked with a smile: "I don't know where these two articles come from, I don't know where these two articles come from?" โ
Cai Yan in the audience raised his head, and almost at the same time as Xin Ping's voice fell, he said confidently: "The previous one is from Zhao Fuzi (Zhao Qi)'s Mencius inscription, and the latter one is from Huainanzi?" General Commentary. โ
Xin Ping said with satisfaction: "Yes, that is." Having said all this, everyone must be wondering what the main theme of today's debate is, and now I will reveal the answer for you, today's debate is that Mencius is based on Zisi.
The reason why this is chosen as a theory, first of all, is that Mencius has always been controversial, the previous boy to make a citation, is to quote the predecessors' theories, mostly Mencius was employed by Zisi, and then said that Mencius learned from Zisi's son, and said that Xin commented and recited this text: Manshu did not choose to ask Mencius and said: "Master Yanxue? Mencius said: "There is a sage called Confucius in Lu." Zengzi learned from Confucius, and Zisi learned from Zengzi. Zisi, the grandson of Confucius, and the son of Boyu. The son of Zisi said that the son of Zi Shang tasted and learned, and it was to get the inheritance of the saint. โ
However, Zhao Fuzi (Zhao Qi) of this dynasty has reprimanded the hypocrisy: "Its text cannot be grand and profound, not similar to the inner chapter, it seems that it is not the true nature of Mencius, and the future generations will rely on it and trust it." โ
Xin Ping began a narrative again, retelling Mencius and Zi Si, Zi Shang's affairs one by one, and finally invited students to come to the stage to express their opinions, this is free play, of course, if it is nonsense, Xin Ping can make his wolf bรจi exit, so if there is no real talent and real learning, it is never dare to go on stage to show ugliness.
The crowd began to move, and soon, the front floor, which was originally hundreds of people, retreated, and the middle floor only moved forward three or five places, but compared to the initial front row of people, the front row at this moment seemed much more lonely. Guo Lin had already told Liu Lan the rules, and he didn't know that the ignorant were fearless, he kept squeezing forward, which made Xin Ping's eyes even heavier, let you know that it is awesome today, and after you are deflated, a certain person will be defeated in Zhongdao.
Xin Ping, who was standing on the high platform, glanced at Wei Zhongdao not far away, and asked him to come to the front row almost immediately, and then he looked around and said with a smile: "Today is different from the past, the students in the front row must be invited to the stage." After speaking, Xin Ping seemed to have discovered a friend for many years, and pointed to Liu Lan, who was about to walk to Cai Yan's side, with a meaningful smile: "This student is fierce and fierce, and he is not a person from Yingchuan at first glance, why don't you ask for a discussion on the stage first?" โ
The young man's city is just a joke, not to mention that the few bigwigs who have been paying attention from afar saw through the purpose of Xin Ping at a glance, and even the little Cai Yan also noticed a hint of conspiracy, and suddenly turned around, only to find that the figure that became the focus of the surroundings turned out to be Liu Lan.
And at this moment, he was pointing to his nose with a look of disbelief and looking at the high platform, which clearly meant to confirm that the person you invited to the stage was me?
Xin Ping nodded very formally, and made a gesture of invitation, "It is this little brother, since you have appeared on the first layer, you must have a unique opinion on whether Mencius is taught by Zi Sizi or Zi Shangzi. โ
Liu Lan shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "But I don't know Mencius, and I haven't seen Mencius." โ
Cai Yan seemed to say this to Liu Lan as expected, after all, the Liu family's family study is Mao's poetry, Mencius, it is inevitable that he will not understand anything, but what is unreasonable is that Liu Lan will say in front of everyone that he does not understand Mencius, which makes Cai Yan have always been less yearning for these family heirlooms.
Xin Ping shook his head slightly, still smiling, and said: "Since you don't know, then according to the rules, you should go to the outermost floor, not everyone can come here, so please stand back or even leave, our Wenhui will continue." โ
Xin Ping said with a sneering face and never looked at Liu Lan again, but secretly aimed at Wei Zhongdao, signaling him to come over, he wanted to invite him to the stage, but Wei Zhongdao came over, but he signaled him to invite Cai Yan to the stage first, which made Xin Ping slightly embarrassed, no matter what Cai Yan's identity was, he was a woman after all, how could he get on the high platform? If he wins, won't the world say that he bullied the female streamers and was going to lose, so how would he see people in the future, but when he saw Wei Zhongdao's earnest expression and affirmative gaze, Xin Ping suddenly understood that Wei Zhongdao was saying that Cai Yan did not have the power to overwhelm the crowd, at that time, he was fortunate to appear as a flower messenger when Cai Yan was suffering, and won the beauty in one fell swoop, Xin Ping finally had a little loosening, looked at Cai Yan, and was about to resist the pressure and invite him to the stage, but Liu Lan, who did not want to suffer countless white eyes, suddenly shook the audience and said:" While I can't give you a satisfactory answer, a friend of mine can. โ
Liu Lan pointed at Cai Yan and said in an unquestionable tone: "Let him take the stage, I believe he will surprise you." โ
Cai Yan looked at Liu Lan with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking. (To be continued......)
