Chapter 9: The Foundation of the Great Way
But he said that Lu Min returned home, so he told the adult Lu Zhi that it was so. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lu Zhi was motionless on the surface, but in his heart he was like thunder on the ground. The scholars of the two Han Dynasty also talk about inheritance, otherwise there is no need for the ancient literary school and the modern literary school to quarrel until now, and even in later generations. Zheng Xuan is an exception, he is the biggest scholar since the Han Dynasty, and he has the energy and strength to pay attention to the scriptures. Lu Zhi studied under Ma Rong, in charge of "Ancient Texts and Books" and "Rites", and Lu Zhi in history once wrote two books, "Three Rites Interpretation" and "Shangshu Chapters and Sentences", and recommended himself as a doctor. However, the emperor did not agree. Liu Bei didn't know if this was happening now.
"Rites" is divided into "Zhou Li", "Rites" and "Rites", "Zhou Li" is mainly about the system, and Lu Zhi is actually the inheritance of this aspect. The "Book of Rites" is divided into the Great Dai Li Ji and the Little Dai Li Ji, the content is more complex, there are etiquette systems, but more about the ideological aspects, such as ethics, human nature, philosophy and heavenly Tao and so on. Lu Zhi did not do a very in-depth study of this aspect. So after hearing Lu Min's relays of Liu Bei's words, he couldn't help but see Hunting's joy. He is a scholar and a Confucian, and his vision is naturally not comparable to Lu Min, but he knows that after Liu Bei's remarks are deeply studied, the impact must be extraordinary. It is not necessary to even trigger a new upsurge in Confucianism and make Confucianism go in a completely new direction.
immediately ordered Lu Min to summon Liu Bei and wanted to inquire carefully. When Liu Bei saw Lu Zhi, he was also obedient, and first thought of the reason: "Teacher, although the boy has been taught since he was a child, his father died early. No one solved my doubts, so I could only grope around the scriptures. Zhuangzi has a cloud and knows that there is no end and is born with an end, and with a end with no end, he will die for himself. The kid thinks about himself and is reckless, and his family is in trouble. In this life, I want to exhaust the scriptures, but I can't hope for it. After thinking about it carefully, I thought of a stupid way, from what I liked in my heart, and only took the four words of Gewu Zhizhi in the ten thousand volumes of books and studied it. The kid thinks about it alone so far, and he doesn't know whether it's right or wrong, so he asks the teacher for more guidance. ā
After hearing this, Lu Zhi sighed in his heart, no one in the family can teach him to grope like this, it can be seen that this son is really a jade and gold, and he will become a great weapon one day.
Students should find a good teacher, and the teacher will not be paid for not loving the disciples. Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei at this time, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and then carefully asked him what he thought, and ordered Lu Min to write it down and not let go of a word. Liu Bei came across time and space, and he didn't study Chinese studies, so where can he remember a lot. I had to pick up some important words to say, whether it was mental or physical. By the way, I mixed in some of my own private goods.
Lu Zhi listened to it and felt that some places did not match the preamble, and some places contradicted each other. But it proves that these are all Liu Bei's random thinking, which is chaotic and unsystematic.
After Lu Zhi completely put his mind at ease, he saw that although what Liu Bei said was messy and contradictory, the faint skeleton had been formed, and the remaining branches could be slowly improved. I was happy in my heart, and I encouraged Liu Bei before letting Liu Bei leave.
On the second day, Liu Bei looked at the handful of books sent by Lu Min outside the door and was stunned. Lu Min smiled and said: "Wulang, my father asked me to send these books, let me ask you to study them carefully, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him at any time." Also, my father asked me to ask you what else you want to read, and he will help you find it. ā
After listening, Liu Bei was stupid, and only felt that he had done it himself. Through the millennium, isn't it the heavens that have entrusted me with great responsibility, but let me come to the Han Dynasty to study?
Forced to send Lu Min away with a smile, Liu Bei had to comfort himself, fortunately it was not without gain, at least he could talk to the teacher Lu Zhi at any time. Then what else is there to complain about, gnaw on the books. Read the book a hundred times and see its meaning. I don't believe that my vision and thinking that span thousands of years can't cope with Lu Zhi. However, after a while, I still have to try my best to get out of the stacks of books, and if I really become a doctor of scriptures, I will really get rid of it.
A few days before he was born, several classmates came over again, chasing him every day to ask about Gewuzhizhi. Gongsun Chan was also among them, with a curious look. Liu Bei stared at Gongsun Zan angrily, thinking to himself, how can you, the leader of a big warlord, come to join in the fun?
Annoying, Liu Bei is not ready to talk nonsense, with his theoretical level, it is estimated that he will not be able to explain it thoroughly, he is going to take his classmates to do a few small experiments. Facts are used to prove the truth of Gewu.
In the backyard of the county school, the corridor was full of people. In the middle of the courtyard was a large iron pot, with several buckets next to it, water in the middle of the pot, and a pile of unlit firewood underneath. Liu Bei stood aside and looked at Lu Zhi with an excited face. He did this experiment, but he just wanted to send Lu Min a few, who knew that he had been instructed not to spread the word. The result was still known to Lu Zhi. As soon as Lu Zhi came, he brought a group of people to come over and watch. Liu Bei didn't expect that Lu Zhi, who was usually steady and upright, was also interested in this. But thinking that Lu Zhi is only in his thirties now, he is also relieved.
The people on the side whispered: "I heard that this Liu Bei has been taught by a different person, but can he enter the oil pot empty-handed?" ā
"It's not an alien, it's the juggler on the street a while ago, isn't he also performing this oil pot? I don't know how this method was coaxed by this Liu Wu, but here he is talking nonsense and saying that he wants to find things. ā
"Let's see, see what tricks he can play."
Don't underestimate the entertainment spirit of the ancients, these days, it is really the basic transportation by walking, and the communication is basically by roaring. I have nothing to do on weekdays, and I can watch people quarrel, not to mention that this is a rare Taoist immortal pot.
After a few words with Lu Zhi, Liu Bei asked people to light the firewood. The fire was blazing, and after a while, white gas began to bubble from the iron pot, and Liu Bei said: "Pour oil!" Someone next to him was carrying an oil drum and pouring oil into the iron pot.
Someone close smelled the smell, so he sighed and said, "It's real oil, isn't it a trick?" ā
Someone rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of trick?" With so many people here, does Liu Wuyang dare? Said that it was taught by the alchemist, and look! ā
The fire was blazing under the iron pot, and the white mist was thick in the iron pot. After a while, the oil pot began to boil, and the water bubbles gurgled and churned one by one. The people around the audience looked nervous and shouted in unison: "The water is boiling!" The water is boiling! Although Lu Mingong Sun Zan and others knew that Liu Bei would not do something uncertain, when the matter came, they still couldn't help but be nervous and worried, and couldn't help but look at Liu Bei with a worried face. This is boiling oil and water, if something really happens, Liu Bei's hands will be wasted.
Lu Zhi looked at his beloved disciple and looked at him. Liu Bei smiled slightly and nodded lightly in response. Then he looked at the boiling oil pot, rolled his sleeves up to his arms, and put his hands into the oil pot under the gaze of countless people, stirring gently.
With Liu Bei's movements, there was silence all around, and all the onlookers were dumbfounded. After a few breaths, he let out a heavy panting sound. Liu Bei played for a while, took out his hand, raised it high, and everyone looked up, only to see Liu Bei's hands intact, and they were not surprised. Liu Bei put down his hand and shouted, "Brother Bo Jue, come here!" ā
Gongsun Zhan ran to Liu Bei and asked with a smile, "Wulang, what's the matter?" Liu Bei didn't answer, but stepped forward to roll up Gongsun Zhan's sleeves, and dragged him with one hand into the oil pot.
Gongsun Zhan was caught off guard, who expected Liu Bei to be like this, he was sneak attacked by Liu Bei, and watched his left hand dip into the oil pot. Gongsun Chan was horrified, closed his eyes and screamed, which was very scary. After Gongsun Chan screamed, he found that his left hand was only slightly hot, and the imaginary pain did not occur, so he couldn't help but open his eyes and saw the water in the pot churning, but his left hand went deep into the pot without incident. Gongsun Chan was very interested, so he put his right hand into the pot, stirred his hands, and played by himself.
Liu Bei looked at the other fellow disciples who were eager to try, and said with a smile: "Senior brothers may as well come and give it a try!" Everyone was overjoyed, it was Lu Min, after looking at Lu Zhi's face, he also happily began to play with the oil pot empty-handed.
After everyone played for a while, Liu Bei stood up, first bowed to Lu Zhishen, and then bowed to the onlookers, before he opened his mouth and said loudly: "Elders, you are all in the same door!" The talented boy Liu Bei is ugly! However, this is not a strange art! It's not a Taoist immortal technique! It's not a trick! The oil is real, but with a little other stuff added to it, and that's vinegar! ā
People in this era don't understand what boiling point is, and Liu Bei didn't plan to use boiling point to explain it. He just told everyone that vinegar heats up fast with fire, and oil heats slowly with fire. Vinegar is poured into the pot with oil, and the first thing to boil is the vinegar, so it looks like the oil pot is boiling.
Liu Bei explained while letting people heat vinegar and oil at the same time. When everyone heard this, they looked again, and there was nothing they didn't understand. They all talked about it. "I see! It's really exciting! ā
"Liu Jiazi is good! This time it was not in vain! ā
"The next time I see someone playing with oil pot on the street, I won't give a reward anymore, how many times have you lied to me!"
There are even some people who secretly remembered just now, and decided to go home and play with their empty hands in the oil pot and play in front of relatives and friends.
Liu Bei continued: "Everyone! Everything has its own reason, as long as we observe carefully and practice carefully, we can gain new knowledge. Where is the avenue? By our side, at the end of the tiny. Therefore, the sages have knowledge in Gewu. After knowing the character of the object, you can be sincere and righteous, and then cultivate yourself and the family, govern the country and level the world!
This demonstration is a slight achievement of the boy's character. The kid thought that the foundation of the avenue was in Gewu. If you can exhaust all things in the world, you can get a glimpse of the mysteries of heaven and earth, the mystery of the universe, and the great road will be completed! ā
This was said a bit flamboyantly, but none of the people refuted it, and they were all pondering the meaning of Liu Bei's words. Yes, the sages have long pointed out the knowledge of things, but we have been fooled again and again by small techniques. What a shame. In the future, we must pay attention to Gewu, just like today's Liu Jiazi, it seems to be quite interesting!
Some people even rolled their eyes wildly, and began to plan what they were going to do first. This is also exactly what Liu Bei wants. If you can promote the development of natural science in this world, even if you have left a voice and a name, you will not come in vain.
Of course, no matter how far Gewu develops, this matter will always need to be led by Confucianism. Otherwise, it becomes heresy. Even though the Han Dynasty has always been enlightened, unlike the West, which burned scientists and philosophers at every turn, it also affected development, didn't it? Then, leave the theoretical matters to the teacher. Thinking of this, Liu Bei looked at Lu Zhi. I saw Lu Zhi with his hands behind his back, smiling and looking at himself with approval.
