Chapter 2: The Juniper Tree Talks the World (Part II)
Shi Sou thought for a while, and after a few breaths, he got up and saluted: "I have long understood the reason of the gentleman." ”
The word has long been two words, and it really led to some doubts.
Although Mozi didn't ask, he just nodded slightly, but after all, he still wondered why he still frowned and pondered after he understood.
Taking advantage of the brief silence, he continued: "After listening to what Mr. just said, I thought of a story told by my father. I said that someone came to my house to buy shoes, and I measured the size at home, but I forgot the size at home. When I got to my house, I realized that I didn't take the size, so I went back home to get it. The father asked him, "Don't you have your feet with you?" He said that he believed more in good measurements than in his feet. ”
The young man kneeling next to him laughed loudly, and Mozi also smiled silently.
Shi hurriedly said: "When I heard what Mr. said just now, I thought about this matter and understood some truths, so I was distracted. ”
Mozi was also interested and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I was thinking that if it was Mr. who bought the shoes, he would not have let the person who bought the shoes go back, nor would he have let the person try them on with his feet. Instead, they would take out the rope and ask the person to measure the size of the soles of their feet in the house, and then explain that if they know that their feet have not changed, then the size measured here must be the same as the size measured at home. If that were the case, the man wouldn't have to buy shoes the next morning...... So I thought, the dialectics that Mr. I taught can be used not only to argue about horses or non-horses, but also to many things. ”
"I have heard that my husband thinks that everything in the world is the same, and the hidden truth behind many things is the same, but it is difficult for the world to understand. I originally thought that this was not the case, but that the gentleman was wrong. But after listening to his words just now, I realized that it was not that he was wrong, but that I was stupid and didn't really listen to his teachings. ”
As soon as the words fell, the juniper tree was silent, and the old gentleman under the tree looked suitable, with an approving look in his eyes.
Mozi really didn't expect that among the group of people under the tree, someone would say such things, especially the truth that all things are connected, which is the same as what he thought, and he faintly felt that what this young man said was like what he thought when he suddenly became enlightened after thinking about it for many years.
If this young man was a disciple of the Bird Slippery, Gong Shangyi, and Cultivator, it would not be surprising that he could say this.
But this young man was simply a lecturer, not a formal ink artist at all.
Doubts turned into doubts, and after a while, Mozi still asked, "What's your name?" ”
It was a simple but heavy compliment, and Shi secretly swallowed his saliva and hurriedly replied.
"The disciple's name is suitable, because my father makes shoes for people all the year round, and he always asks whether it is suitable or not, so he has this name."
Mozi nodded and smiled, and after waiting for a while, he praised the young people around him: "Puyu can be carved, what you are talking about is suitable for this kind of person." You can think that the truth behind everything is the same, and it is rare. ”
After hearing this compliment, Shi was overjoyed.
Although Mozi did not directly say that he would be accepted as a personal disciple, and he knew that he still had to do a lot of things to become a real Mozi, at least he made Mozi remember his name.
In the future, if you can really become Mozi's personal disciple, when you sort out Mozi's life and remarks in the future, you can always add a sentence "Zi Mozi said, suitable, Puyu can be carved ......"
The people kneeling under the tree listened to this compliment, and there was no sign of jealousy, and they were still recalling the relationship between the joke and the dialectic just now, thinking of many of the truths, and pondering one after another.
There are also people who relish the jokes of this stupid shoe buyer, and they have endless aftertastes, and laugh from time to time.
The original protagonist of this joke was Zheng Guoren, but it is not inconsistent at all here, and it is even more appropriate to say it from a shoemaker family.
Anyway, there are too many jokes in Song Guo, not bad for this one.
Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, if the most jokes are talked about, it is the Song Kingdom, and this kind of thing has appeared since then.
The one who guarded the stump and waited for the rabbit to be killed was a native of the Song Kingdom; Those who dislike the seedlings that grow too slowly and pull up tall are the people of the Song Dynasty; Sitting on the edge of the field and basking in the sun thinks that this is a great enjoyment, and thinks that the greatest happiness of the monarch is also sitting on the edge of the field and basking in the sun, which is a native of the Song Dynasty; When I returned from my study tour, I called my mother's nickname, and said that I directly called the name of a saint like Yao Shunyu, and called your name, you were wronged or something...... Or a native of the Song Kingdom.
Coupled with that Song Xianggong, this place in the Song Kingdom has become the most inky place in the Eastern Zhou region.
Come to think of it, Song Guo is one of the five dukes of the founding of the country, a descendant of Yin Shang, and Weizi is even a leading party, compared to those relatives surnamed Ji, Song Guo is an outsider after all, and an outsider with his own cultural background. King Wu won the world, talked with Yin Shang and led the way Dang Weizi all night, and the next day he fell seriously ill and was restless......
The people of the Song Dynasty do not sing "Muye Yangyang, Tanche is brilliant." Master Wei's father, Shi Wei Yingyang". A bunch of Ji family members surrounded the country, and they sang all day long, "The Divine Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business." The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang, and the four sides of the realm were in the right domain". I'm afraid that others won't remember that they are not their own.
Moreover, the Song Kingdom has always been a Zhou etiquette, and sometimes even Zhou etiquette may not be observed. Zhou Li was inherited by the eldest son, but the Song State still retained a primitive system of Yin Shang brothers and brothers; Zhou Li forbade alcohol and controlled alcohol, but Song Guo was quite addicted to alcohol; The Zhou people talked about the change of the mandate of heaven, and the Song people believed in ghost and god divination; Even the way of funeral is different, the coffin of the Zhou people is parked in the side room, while the Song people have always left the coffin between the two pillars of the courtyard...... All kinds of customs have deepened the alienation of the Zhou people.
In addition, the people of Qilu naturally knew about the Qin State, but the distance was too far, but the Song State was next to it; Of course, the Qin State knew that the Chu State had a border, but after all, the Chu State was a big country, and it was easy for friends to be surprised when telling jokes...... When it comes to jokes, if you want to make the people of Zhuxia laugh without causing diplomatic disputes, the neighbor of the Song Kingdom is naturally the best choice.
I have heard a lot of similar jokes, and the people of the Song Kingdom are accustomed to it, but if this joke is borrowed from people from other countries just now, it will be a little unpleasant.
The region is so black that they are accustomed to it, and the black is so black that the people of the Song Kingdom can also smile themselves, and the Song Kingdom is also unique.
Xu listened to the jokes that were told, which made Mozi smile and became interested; Xu is Mozi felt that the Shu Tai he talked about today was still unfinished......
Finally, after the young people had laughed, Mozi told some more stories with a rare relaxed expression.
"When I heard Shi say this just now, I also remembered what happened a few days ago. Sumiko lost a black dress and went out on the street to look for it. When he saw a woman also dressed in black, he reached out and grabbed it. The woman didn't give it, and Chengzi said that I lost black clothes, and yours was also black, and I lost silk, and you only wore linen, and I still paid for it......"
This incident happened on the streets of Shangqiu not long ago, and all the young people under the trees were Song people, so of course they knew about it.
However, thinking that Mr. had just talked about dialectic, I thought that this was for them to argue things such as "clothes are not black, black clothes are not clothes", and they all bowed their heads to organize their words, waiting for Mr. to ask later.
But I didn't want Mozi to sigh, shook his head and said: "I know that person Chengzi, I have never been such a stupid and chaotic person, where is he doing this, where is he taking other people's clothes?" This is an excuse to ridicule and ridicule the world. ”
"Now that Qi Guotian is the prime minister, Yan Zi has long said that Qi Zheng will one day return to Tian Chen, and now it is almost over; Weis, Zhao, and Han Qian, the land of the Jin Kingdom is nine out of ten; There was a lot of turmoil in Chu, and doctors and nobles fought each other; Han killed Zheng Bo to seize the city, Song Dafu made chaos to seek Chu, the Qin people attacked Jin and seized land, and the Yue people plundered Qilu as slaves...... What is the difference between the reasons for the war between the countries that are excessively conquest, the misery of life, and the forcible seizure of human clothes? ”
"Aren't those reasons for going to war more ridiculous than Sumiko's forcible taking people's clothes?"
"The world is in turmoil, the world of conquest. Chengzi takes people's clothes, and the woman can still reason and want to return, but the city changes hands and human lives disappear, where can she reason with it? ”
"Why does everyone think it's ridiculous when Chengzi takes people's clothes, but no one thinks it's ridiculous when the princes conquer and seize the city and take the land?"
"Who does this world rely on to tell the truth? Who decides? Who will decide right from wrong? In this world, after all, there needs a rule that everyone in the world agrees on, which is synonymous. The same world, the same truth, the same right and wrong, the same kind of nobility and cheapness, can end this troubled world. ”
