"For heaven and earth, for the people, for the people, for the holy road, for the world to open a peaceful ......"

After using a meal of meaty "Yanjing hot pot", Wu Haogu and Ma Zhi drank tea in a side hall to relieve their grudges while talking about the question of Confucian truth.

Ma Zhi is also a Confucian student, he doesn't understand the avenue, and the Jinshi of the Northern Song Dynasty must not be reliable, but he has read the Confucian scriptures and meanings, and he has also heard of Zhang Zai's "Four Sentences of Hengqu", so he repeatedly recited Wu Haogu's "Four Sentences of Doctors", and I always felt a little twisted.

"What does it mean to be benevolent for heaven and earth?" Ma Zhi asked, "I've heard of a heart for heaven and earth." ”

"Heaven and earth have no heart, and the idea of establishing a heart is just a moral word, which does not have much significance." Wu Haogu commented on Zhang Zai's famous words, and seemed a little crazy, but he was not wrong.

He had some philosophical knowledge in later generations and was familiar with Confucian scriptures, so he was able to read and understand Mr. Hengqu.

He paused, and then said, "Although the first two of the four sentences of Hengqu can shake people's hearts, they are nothing more. The last sentence is the Confucian aspiration. What really made Mr. Hengqu a generation of Confucianism is actually the third sentence. ”

"For the sake of the saints?" Ma Zhi frowned slightly. Among the four sentences of Hengqu, this sentence is the one he doesn't understand the most. He knew that it was Confucius and Mencius, but what does it mean to "follow the peerless learning"?

"Yes," Wuhao Ancient Dao, "Confucianism and Taoism originated from the "Zhou Li", flourished in Confucius and Mencius, but since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has stopped and it is difficult to advance, so that Buddhism and Taoism flourish and Confucianism gradually declines. It was not until this dynasty that there was a grand occasion when great Confucians came out and the absolute learning was continued. However, the path of Guan Luo's learning to follow the peerless learning is wrong. They can't follow the right path, so they have to learn from the Dharma...... What is preached is no longer the way of Confucius and Mencius, but the way of Shakyamuni. ”

Under the understanding of Wu Haogu, the meaning of continuing to learn for the saints is to continue to develop Confucianism, and the reason why the Lian, Luo, Guan, and Fujian masters of the Song Dynasty can be called great Confucianism is to develop the ideas of Confucianism and promote the expansion of Confucianism to a new stage.

In other words, they answered the avenue that Confucius asked for and heard but did not get. turned "the way of seeking nature" into "preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires...... To put it bluntly, the great Confucians of the Song Dynasty made Confucianism more like a religion.

If the "Heavenly Principle" is changed to an anthropomorphic god like "Christ, Allah, Buddha, and Taishang Laojun", then it will be almost the same.

So they were undoubtedly great Confucians, but they went the wrong way, and they did not find a way to answer the Tao of Confucius.

And Wu Haogu used the positivism of later generations to correspond to the Confucian way of seeking the Tao and the way of nature proposed by Lao Tzu, forming another line of "following the absolute learning" that is different from Guan Luo's science - this is certainly the correct route! Whoever dares to say that it is not true, send the wise men to convince people with reason!

In addition, Jing Gong Xinxue, which is now a prominent school, has taken the route of "taking Confucianism as its sect, integrating all schools, and aiding the law into Confucianism", trying to find a way out of the political system, advocating "applying the scriptures to the world", and not paying much attention to the problem of "not being useful" such as "following the absolute learning".

However, unlike Guan Luo Lixue and Jing Gong Xinxue, Positivist Confucianism, which takes positivism and the way of nature as its soul, has its own theoretical advantages over theology and metaphysics since its birth, so it will have a strong desire to spread.

Moreover, positivism itself also has the attributes of sociology, so it will inevitably have a serious conflict with the Jinggong New Theory, which is "through the scriptures and application", because positivist sociology will also criticize the New Deal pioneered by Wang Anshi!

After all, although the starting point of Xining's new policy is good, there are not many policies that can withstand practical experience. Even the original intention of changing the law to enrich the country and strengthen the army can be proved wrong by empirical evidence, if the country is rich and the army can be strong, then the Great Song Dynasty is much richer than the Western Xia, the Great Liao and the Jurchen barbarians......

Therefore, the positivist Confucianism that Wu Haogu is now launching is theoretically very easy to gain an advantage over Guan Luo Lixue and Jing Gong Xinxue.

And positivist Confucianism, which has gained an advantage in theory, can package itself as the truth!

And the truth is powerful!

Truth can arm the mind!

The truth should be spread to the world!

Truth will triumph over falsehood......

"Great, Da Lang, are you saying that you can use the empirical method to seek the natural avenue?" Ma Zhi listened to the theory expounded by Wu Haogu, and his face changed a little.

He is not a great Confucian, but he also knows that Confucianism does not believe in gods and ghosts, and he also knows that Confucius is "a man who hears the Tao in the morning and can die at night". Therefore, he immediately heard the power of this set of "empirical methods" "proposed" by Wu Haogu.

The way of empirical evidence corresponds to Confucius's way of seeking and the way of nature that Confucius sought from Lao Tzu!

As long as you are a Confucianist, it is very difficult for you to refute the way of positivism in the dialectic of Taoism.

"Yes," Wu Haogu paused and looked at Ma Zhi, "Now that the Tao has been consummated, then Confucianism should no longer shrink into Middle-earth, but should spread the truth in all directions." The Doctor's Group and the Yuntai Academy Palace were established to spread the avenue.

Second Brother Ma, are you willing to help your younger brother? ”

"Me?" Ma Zhi didn't seem to understand, "Da Lang, how do you want me to help you?" ”

Wu Haogu laughed: "Second Brother Ma, you just have this heart." As for how to help...... It's better to let the two little Langjun go to the Nanmen Academy in Jiehe to study first, I am the dean of this academy. ”

Originally, there were only two gates in the Jiehe Commercial Market, north and south. The north gate is in the north city of Jiehebei and is called the North Gate. The south gate is in the boundary Henan City, called the South Gate. The office of the Jiehe City Bo Division is just outside the south gate. The purpose of opening only one gate in Jiehenancheng was to prevent smuggling - at that time, Jiehe Commercial City was not responsible for collecting and collecting taxes, so it had to be fenced off to prevent smuggling.

However, there was no need to raise the city of Wuhao Gu, so the south city of the commercial city successively opened the east gate and the west gate. As for the north side of Jiehe River Castle and the south side of Jiehe River Castle, there are no walls and gates because they are all embankments and wharves along the Jiehe River.

The Nankaimen Academy, which opened in the south gate of Jiehenan City, was only started in the summer of the first year of the Yasukuni Dynasty, and has not yet been completed. Originally, when the construction of Jiehe Shang City started, a Six Arts Academy was built, which was started in the east of Jiehe Henan City, next to the site of the Jiehe Branch of the Yuntai Academy, but after the completion of this academy, it was occupied by the old man's military academy as a "knight school".

Therefore, Wu Haogu ordered Jiehe Shang City to build a new academy in the south gate of Jiehe Henan City, and the academy was not named, but everyone called it Nanmen Academy.

Because of the problems of rebuilding the academy and the teachers and teaching materials, the Nankai Academy, which was originally planned to open together with the Yuntai Xuegong Jiehe Branch, is still in preparation.

According to Wu Haogu's plan, Nankaimen Academy should be a ten-year consistent academy that includes two stages of education: Mongolian school and primary school. However, students can choose to enroll in the Enlightenment period or at the primary school level. Students who graduate from Nankai Academy will enter schools such as Yuntai Academy, Jiehe Knight Academy, and Jiehe Shipbuilding Academy to receive further education.

Compared with the Yuntai Academy, which is now huge, this Jiehenan Kaimen Academy is actually more valued by Wu Haogu. Because Wu Haogu knew that positivism and martial spirit should be grasped from a baby.

Now most of the students who have entered the Yuntai Academy are older, and most of them have stereotyped thinking, and the real positivist Confucian and Doctor Renyi have to start from the baby. Moreover, the warriors and doctors who were able to resist the Jurchen minority in the south after more than 20 years are either not born yet, or they are dolls or teenagers, and only a few have reached adulthood.

Therefore, Wu Haogu concurrently served as the dean of the Jiehenan Open Gate Academy. Later, this academy also evolved into a university, becoming the third millennium university in China, which is the famous Weiwei Nankai ......

……

"Big rock, what is this doctor? How does it sound like an official position? ”

"The name of the doctor should be taken from the official position, but in the Yuntai Academy, it does not mean an official position, but an erudite and talented preacher."

"Preach? How do you sound like a monk and Taoist? ”

"The doctor is not a monk and a Taoist, the doctor is a master who is a monk who is a monk and a Taoist who is a monk and a Taoist?"

The three of the young Dashi, Xiao Tieniu, and Han Dagou, on the day after they arrived in the south of Jiehe Shang City, they didn't care about appreciating the prosperity of the Shang City, so they went directly out of the West Gate and went to the Jiehe Branch of the Yuntai Xue Palace outside the city.

There were dozens of Song teenagers who arrived with them, most of them were the children of the Ximen family, the martial family, the Murong family, and the Chai family, and some were from the Cangzhou knight's family - the children of the knights could enter the Nanmenmen Academy and the Knight Academy, but there were still some people who admired Su Dongpo's name and ran to the Yuntai Academy.

Entertaining them was a Sumen disciple with a full southern accent, named Jiang Tangzuo, he was a Danzhou person, and he started earlier than Wu Haogu, and he was considered a senior brother of Wu Haogu. In history, he was the first talent on Hainan Island to participate in the Spring Festival, although he did not have a high school, but he was also a precedent.

And in this time and space, after Su Dongpo raised the Yuntai Academy, he asked people to call his younger disciple to Haizhou. It's not that he was a teacher, but he studied for a doctorate and didn't finish the course, but he was caught by Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu and went to the Jiehe Branch to "intern".

Unlike the Yuntai School Palace Headquarters, the Jiehe Branch currently does not have a "generalist" department, only a "doctor" department, so Jiang Tangzuo's task now is to explain to the students who come to study what the doctoral department should teach? What kind of human resources do you want to cultivate? What is the path of the PhDs after graduation, etc.

I don't know if it's because Jiang Tangzuo's Danzhou official dialect is difficult to understand, Xiao Tieniu, who came with Yelu Dashi, didn't fully understand until the end of the explanation, when he ate Kaifeng dishes in the canteen of the doctor's group building. However, Yelu Dashi basically figured it out, and at this moment, he was munching on chicken legs while explaining to Xiao Tieniu.
