Chapter Thirty-Eight: Taixue on Confucianism
Among the Taixue, Liu Bei stood tall on the stage, and the audience was crowded, all of whom were quite famous among the Tai students. On the stage of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Bei's voice was clear and free: "Thanks to your kindness, Liu is not talented, so I will share with you my experience since I received my studies."
Liu Bei is blunt, and he asks himself that the introduction to scripture is still shallow, and he is not as good as the sages present. Today, Liu Bei will not discuss the scriptures with you, but want to talk to you about our Confucianism......"
This year, the world is becoming more and more peaceful, and in the first month, Jiaozhou is in chaos. Hepu and Jiaosha Wuhu rebelled, leading the people of Jiuzhen and Rinan counties to attack the counties. In February, there was another solar eclipse, and even the Taiwei and Situ were dismissed. Not long after, another earthquake struck. Fortunately, there were not many casualties. When the emperor saw that it was not good, he immediately granted amnesty to the world and changed the name of Xiping to Guanghe.
It was useless to change the name of the year, and in April there was another earthquake, and the emperor changed the captain. Then I didn't care, and when I saw that the students were talking about it, I was angry. It is convenient for Hongdu Gate to learn inside, and there are more than 1,000 people who can call for the ruler and the three princes. These people are all people who have no interest in doing things, and they are flattering by the things that are common to them. The emperor liked these bits and pieces of gossip, so he was very pleased, and he also made officials one by one, and even made marquises. At that time, Shilin was in an uproar, and they were all ashamed to be in the same column as such villains.
Liu Bei entered Taixue, but he was like a fish in water. They are all people of the same generation, and they used to get along very well. It's just that it's not good at all, it's that there are a lot of angry youths. Liu Bei does not reject angry youth. Because the angry young people are all patriots, most of them are deeply loved, so they hate each other. He used to be an angry young man too. But he doesn't like the kind of people who only know how to oppose passively, criticize everything sharply, but don't know how to try to be optimistic and accumulate strength. In the same way, he doesn't like those who shout slogans all day long, scold ministers, scold eunuchs, and then don't work hard for anything. Every day, I just talk about it, it's not right here, it's not good there. But there are no constructive good suggestions.
There are a lot of "symposiums" in Taixue, almost every day. Liu Bei also likes to participate, so he goes with his ears, hoping that some opinions can inspire him. It's a pity that the more times he has become, the more disappointed he becomes. These hot-blooded young people are just shouting over and over again every day to punish eunuchs, ban the party, boycott villains, and recruit virtuous ministers. When asked how to implement it, they were either helpless, or they pushed it on the three princes and nine secretaries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, saying that it was their responsibility.
Liu Bei was speechless. So I couldn't bear it anymore and joined the discussion. As soon as he added in, it seemed to attract attention. He was rigorous in his arguments, eloquent, and speechless in many meetings, and the students at this time still admired the capable. There was a slight stinky problem with the literati, but it was not as serious as it was later. In addition, Liu Bei is a strange person who can fly into the sky, so he became famous for a while.
No, several leaders among the sons of Taixue invited Liu Bei to preside over a special "symposium". Liu Bei didn't do it at first, he wasn't inexperienced, he used to host evening debates in college, not to mention, he also did this job when he was in Donglai. But he really didn't want to talk about scripture and politics with everyone. He felt pointless. But after pushing it a few times, I really couldn't push it, so I carefully prepared today's topic.
"What is Confucianism? Can anyone tell me? ”
Taixue Zhuzi began to be silent, Liu Bei asked this question, what is the meaning? What is Confucianism? Aren't we all Confucians? But Liu Bei shouldn't ask such a simple question, right? So what exactly is Confucianism? The crowd began to think deeply.
At this time, Zhou Junji stood up, bowed his hand to Liu Bei, and said: "Xuande, I thought that the ancestor Shu Yao Shun, the charter civil and military, and the grandmaster Zhongni are Confucian!" “
Everyone lowered their heads for a while, and nodded yes, thinking that this was Confucianism. Because this is what Ban Gu said in the "Book of Han" Art and Literature Chronicles: The flow of Confucianism is covered by the officials of Situ, and the people who help people to follow the Yin and Yang Ming are also educated. You Wen is in the Six Classics, paying attention to the occasion of benevolence and righteousness, the ancestor Shu Yao Shun, the charter of civil and military, the grandmaster Zhong Ni, to emphasize his words, in the Tao is the highest.
This should be the best explanation for Confucianism. But Liu Bei shook his head slowly and said, "Ban Mengjian said this, only one of them!" ”
Everyone was in an uproar, what, Ban Gu said it so accurately, and he only had one of them, and he didn't finish it? No way? Cut to see how you interpret it. At this time, everyone held their breath and listened to Liu Bei's words.
Liu Bei said: "Uncle Xu said: Confucianism, Rouye, the name of a warlock." This is only one of them. "Well, the explanation in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" is only one of them. Keep listening.
"What is Confucianism? I think there are three: "Shuowen" is said to be a Confucian warlock, and Taishi Gong's "Confucianism and Farewell Biography" is also a cloud: Qin Zhiji Shikeng Warlock, and the world is called Confucianism; Sima Xiangru said: The Confucianism of the immortals, living in the mountains and rivers, is very described; Prince Zhao also said to Zhuangzi: The master will obey Confucianism and see the king, and things will be reversed......
Confucianism is also the need of people. Dao, ink, name, law, yin and yang, novels, poems, scriptures, materia medica, yarrow turtle, form method, these are all warlocks, but also the needs of people, why not Confucianism? This is the Confucianism of the Warlock.
It is also said that the Confucian is known as the number of books that are liturgical and musical. "Heavenly Official" said: Confucianism wins the people with Taoism. Said: Confucianism, the princes have six arts to teach the people. "Local Official" said: I am a Confucian. said: Confucianism, the township teaches Taoist artists. This is to prepare for moral behavior and imitate its material and art as Confucianism.
Third, Fang is the Confucianism that Ban Mengjian said. The above three can all be called Confucianism. However, the name of Confucianism was a warlock in ancient times, and now it is specially designed for the guardian of the master......"
Liu Bei was full of joy and quoted a large paragraph of the article "Original Confucianism" by Mr. Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies in later generations, into his conversation. The Taixue students below were stunned. In this day and age, where has anyone done such in-depth research on this issue?
Everyone saw Liu Bei quoting scriptures and classics, and he came easily, which was justified and well-founded. Suddenly felt that Liu Bei was really well-read and memorized, which made them all a little ashamed, and they had also turned over many books, but they couldn't remember the content. How can you say it casually like Liu Bei. When I looked at Liu Bei again, I felt that he was so tall!
After Liu Bei saw that everyone was suppressed, he smiled and said loudly: "Then what should the Confucian do?" ”
Everyone was silent and listened to Liu Bei's speech.
Liu Bei said: "For Confucianism, you should set your heart for heaven and earth!" ”
This is Liu Bei's theory, and everyone has heard it more or less. "Heaven and earth have no heart, heaven and earth only give birth to all things, and do not share the sorrow with the saints. When we preach the holy way and learn from things, we are to match the hearts of the heavens with the hearts of the people, and to stand for the heavens and the earth! Everyone nodded yes.
Liu Bei said: "However, it is not enough, for Confucianism, you should make a life for the people!" The people, my compatriots; Things, I and also. We are Confucians, and we will govern the world in the service of the Son of Heaven, and we should make a life for the people! ”
Liu Bei made a new statement, everyone was excited, what he said was so novel and thought-provoking, although he had never seen or heard of it, everything was reasonable. At this time, I saw Liu Bei and said loudly: "For Confucianism, you must also continue to learn for the saints!" Since the beginning of the dynasty, Confucianism has been diligently between the chapters and verses of complex dramas, but they do not know the vastness of heaven and earth, and they are confused in the outer ways, and the way of Confucius and Mencius is not transmitted. Therefore, Ban Mengjian has words that those who are confused have lost their subtlety, and those who have been discouraged at any time have suppressed them, violated the Taoist book, and used them to make a fuss. The latter followed it with the obedient analysis of the "Five Classics", and Confucianism also declined. Therefore, we Confucians, we should continue to learn for the sake of the saints! ”
Liu Bei ignored the commotion in the audience and continued to say loudly: "However, it is still not enough!" We and other Confucians, we should open peace for all generations! ”
"The king of Shangzuo, the king of Anlishu, the outer service Yidi, the inner peace thief, the foundation of eternal peace, these things, who can be responsible for non-Confucian people?"
Liu Bei's deafening voice echoed in the hearts of all the sons. His voice was powerful, passionate, and stirring!
All the sons here, who is not a hot-blooded young man? Who doesn't aspire to make a name for themselves and go down in history? Historically, only the scholars of the Han Dynasty, from top to bottom, were full of martial spirits. No matter how good a man is, he wants to take it immediately. When the imperial court sent a large army out of the fortress, rangers and brave young men were enthusiastic to follow it. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often recruited criminals, outlaws, braves, rangers and other soldiers to fight, and he was still able to win repeatedly. My sons-in-law are all bloody sons! A good boy who advocates military merit and honor!
Liu Bei's last sentence was full of great power, it was inspiring, it incited blood, all the sons stood up, bowed to Liu Bei excitedly and solemnly, and then shouted in unison: "I am waiting for Confucianism!" Be peaceful for all generations!
The king of Shangzuo, the king of Anlishu, the outer service Yidi, the inner peace thief, the foundation of peace for all generations, these things, who can be the one who is not my Confucian!! "There's a big frame of self-sacrifice.
Liu Bei looked at the student who was instigated by himself and laughed with satisfaction, is this kind of spirit the demeanor of my big Han student. Otherwise, if you talk about it every day, the whole person will be ruined sooner or later.
Liu Bei finally said loudly: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!" Those who do these four things are Confucian! Brothers, talk about the country, and work hard to prosper the country! From now on, I encourage you with all your brothers! ”
Finally, he bowed his hand to everyone to indicate the end of his speech. Everyone respectfully returned the salute to thank Liu Bei for preaching today. Many people are excited, with a thousand words in their chests, and they are stirring back and forth, but they don't know how to express it. Just excitedly looking at Liu Bei's floating figure, they all know that because of this person today, from now on, their lives will be more exciting.
Liu Bei came out of this garden, and he was still very satisfied with the effect just now. I thought in my heart, I can't fight you on the scriptures, can't I fight you on the scriptures, can't I still do it on fooling? Mr. Hengqu's four-sentence teaching is a big killer, right? Begin to worship me. I see who will dare to pull me to talk about the scriptures in the future, I am a person with lofty ambitions and want to open peace for all generations!
