【2nd Update】

Han Gang took a sip of the teacup, and only felt funny in his heart.

Even if he himself is not a brilliant Confucian level, he also knows that Ye Tao's questioning is a joke, and it is an argument for the sake of argument. Han Gang saw it very clearly, and Lu Dian, who was next to Ye Tao, was also frowning.

How can divination be so clearly divided? Confucianism starts with the master, which family does not combine divination together? There is also a "Biography of the Turtle Ce" in the historical records of Taishi Gong, the tortoise is the tortoise shell used for divination, and the strategy is the yarrow used in divination. In "Zuo Biography", if you are not auspicious, you will be divided, and if you are not auspicious, you will be divided, back and forth, and there are many such examples.

"Shangshu" Xia Shang Zhou, "Book of Songs" 300 articles, including many old things about Shang and Zhou. Not to mention the Confucian classics, which of the pre-Qin princes could put Yin Shang aside? The study of oracle bone inscriptions must be linked to a dry book of the pre-Qin period. There is no need to examine evidence, just based on logic, Han Gang can confirm it like this.

In this regard, even the East and the West will not make a difference. For example, materialist dialectics can be traced back to Hegel, and then traced back to the ancient Greek philosophers, Aristotle, Socrates, or something. Geometry is "Principles of Geometry" - a book that Han Gang recently asked the Great Food Merchant to find. Later generations always step on the shoulders of their predecessors, and the great sage of the West has long said it. And different academics of the same era will also have a connection, chemistry and physics, how deep is the relationship?

It seems that this way of thinking has a name for explaining problems from an isolated, static, and one-sided point of view, and failing to see the universal connections and changes and developments between things and phenomena in the world...... Let's call it mechanical materialism.

Han Gang now once again deeply feels that no one paid attention to the courses that made him sleep a lot back then, but when he returned to real life, he could be confirmed every time.

Of course, there is no way to say this argument to Lu Dian, Ye Tao. But Han Gang's level in Confucianism is not so bad that he is speechless, and he has long been prepared, but he is not afraid of doubts.

"Everything has a heritage, King Wu destroyed Yin, and King Wen was still a person of Yin Shang. Zhou Gong was in power, also at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. In the hexagrams of "Zhou Yi", it is impossible to erase the traces of Yin Shang's divination in any case. Any school has its origins, from words to scriptures, and this is the case, so why can "Zhou Yi" be an exception? ”

"The saint was born to know, why should "Zhou Yi" use commercial law? I only saw yarrow in the hexagram, how could I have seen a turtle? Ye Tao argued.

"Just because you are born to know does not mean that you don't learn. Wasn't Confucius a sage? He asked the old man to learn the piano from the teacher, why? Han Gang said, "Learning from all good people is the virtue of a saint." King Wen played "Zhou Yi", how could he abandon the second generation of Xia Shang's Yi? ”

"Empty words are unproven." Ye Tao bit it to death and never changed his words. Lu Dian, who was next to him, wanted to speak several times and stopped.

Han Gang estimated that this person was confused, otherwise he would never have forgotten the content of "Zhou Yi": "Among Zhou Yi's hexagrams, there are many entries involving the stories of Yin Shang and the ancestors of the Zhou family. Not to mention anything else, the emperor Yi Guimei in the two hexagrams of Taihe Guimei, which family is it talking about? He snorted lightly, "Who dares to confirm that among the ruins of Yinxu, in the pieces of tortoiseshell and cow bones, there is no divination that can confirm this one?!" Yin people are invincible, using soldiers, traveling, and even getting married, but they all have the same divination. [Note 1]

"But it doesn't mean that there must be a proof of it."

"That's why I have to dig out the Yin Ruins to study and figure out." Han Gang said with a smile, "The violent Qin burned books and pit Confucianism, and the writings of the first kings were not passed on, and the family regretted them, and Han Gang also cherished them." Now the reappearance of the relics of Yin Ruins, which is closer to the text of the former king, can be said to be a major event for the country and Confucianism, and it also makes up for the regrets of Jiayue and Han Gang. ”

Wang Anshi said in the preface of "Words and Words" that "Qin burned "poems" and "books", killed bachelors, changed the ancient and became subordinates, and it was a heavenly mourning Siwen", and he tested the words and said, "It is a pity that the text of the first king has been lacking for a long time", and "the general of heaven Xing Siwen also". This self-promise is the basis for Wang Anshi to write "Words and Sayings" and occupy the Taoist system. Han Gang said this, but he was using Wang Anshi's original words to block people.

Lu Dian, taking a deep breath, seemed to be holding back his anger. As a disciple of Wang Anshi, he listened to Wang Anshi's son-in-law's sarcastic speech with his own ears, and he had to work hard to restrain the raging anger burning in his heart.

Ye Tao's heart was full of anger, and he asked Han Gang in a low voice: "If the theory of "Words and Words" is proved in the oracle bone inscription, what should you do with Yukun?" ”

"Could it be that in Zhiyuan's heart, Han Gang is a person who knows his mistakes and does not change?" Han Gang deliberately asked rhetorically.

Of course! Lu Dian and Ye Tao shouted in their hearts, but where did they dare to say it clearly, they could only bow their heads: "Don't dare." ”

Han Gang laughed: "Yin Ruins reappeared in the world, it is the 'Heavenly General Xing Si Wenye', which can be compared with the "Ancient Texts and Books" in the wall of the sage's former residence during the time of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and even surpassed. Regardless of whether the theory of the "Zishuo" is later confirmed or the opposite conclusion is reached, as long as the learning of the ancestors can be inherited, it is a good thing for Confucianism. If "Words and Words" can be proven, Han Gang is willing to bow his head to study. ”

Han Gang said this, with confidence in his expression.

Wang Anshi wrote "Zishuo" in order to unify Confucianism. At present, as long as Xinxue studies the oracle bones of Yinxu, it will be the victory of his Han Gang and Qi Studies. And Han Gang would never think that "Zishuo" was confirmed by the oracle bone inscription. Whether it can be confirmed or not is not what Xinxue says. When the new school begins to 'one morality and one custom', all that remains is politics, not academics.

Glancing at the oracle bones on the table, Lu Dian sighed secretly in his heart, Han Gang must have been confident enough to dare to say so.

Wang Anshi's "Word Theory" was originally intended to replace all the previous generations of exegetical books and become the cornerstone of Xinxueyi's morality, but now it wants to prove the correctness of the interpretation in the book, isn't this falling into the trap of Han Gang? Not only books, not only the top, only the truth, this is exactly what Han Gang has been advocating!

In the past, Han Gang's knowledge was close to the way of nature, which made the Confucian people look down on him, thinking that what he had learned was only biased, but now he is gradually trying to see the dagger. But in terms of reason, each family holds the classics and states their own opinions, of course, it is not as convincing as a relic of three generations.

Relying on the advantages brought by the relics of Yin Ruins, Han Gang, who was like hob meat, made Lu Dian and Ye Tao have no way at all. Han Gang's purpose is to muddy the water and let Rulin argue, unless he denies Yinxu, he only needs to study it.

But is it negative?

The Son of Heaven will never come forward, only Xinxue is the same as the customs and morality of the court, and there is no reason for the Son of Heaven to charge forward for Xinxue. In the political hall, Wang Qi personally sent Han Gang to the courtyard.

If Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing were in Beijing, the current situation would be better, but it would be too difficult for a cadre of scholars in the Guozi Prison to deal with Han Gang. Ye Tao and Lu Dian both felt powerless. The disparity in status alone puts them at a disadvantage in the debate. What's more, Han Gang himself looked like he had no desire or desire, and he sat down to watch the excitement after stirring up the troubled waters, and did not compete on the ancient texts of Yinxu, so that people had no way to start.

It's not that Han Gang underestimates Lu Dian and Ye Tao, his goal has always been to be characters like Wang Anshi or Ercheng and Sima Guang, and he has always been cautious, and he doesn't dare to show the slightest flaw, and he will never compete with them in the fields they are good at. And when he is against unknown people such as Shanglu and Ye, with his own status and identity, he naturally has an advantage when debating. If you want to say anything, you don't have to have too many scruples, you can bully people clearly.

"Bu is an image, and Xiao is a number. Objects are born and then there are images, and images are followed by nourishment, and then there are numbers. Although Zhou Yi hexagram is said to be all divination, divination is a number, but why is it called "elephant"? Speaking of this, Han Gang smiled slightly: "And there are also clouds in the rhetoric: the one who changes, the elephant also." Is the ease here just Zhou Yi? ”

Han Gang's nonsense finally made Lu Dian unable to help it, and he was furious, "How can this be true!" ”

Ye Tao also said angrily: "This is a big fallacy! ”

But Lu Dian's and Ye Tao's anger, Han Gang was like a breeze, and he didn't care at all. Instead, he picked up the teacup again and took another sip leisurely.

The Six Classics note my ethos here, Han Gang insisted that the hexagram is not called the number of hexagrams in "Zhou Yi", because it inherited the "Returning to Tibet" of heavy divination, and the anger of Lu Ye and the others was angry, and the refutation of the world was refuted, but it was no problem for him to say it.

Han Gang's original hope for today's school dispute was to be as lively as possible. It was his dream wish for Rulin to make trouble around the relics of Yin Ruins for decades, fanning the flames, stirring up waves, adding fuel to the fire, and adding fuel to the fire, as long as he could stir up the atmosphere, there were some things that Han Gang didn't mind doing more.

Anyway, his foundation is not in the Confucian classics, this is completely different from other schools, he has been invincible from the beginning, no matter what direction the situation changes, there is no difference to Han Gang. The harder you fight, the better, that's how fun it is.

Let the Confucian scholars go to the poor, and Han Gang will continue to develop his natural way during this time. When the role of Gewu on society and production becomes more and more apparent, it is when Qi Science holds the Tao system in its hands!

Note 1: Using oracle bone inscriptions to corroborate Zhou Yi's hexagrams, Wang Yirong, the discoverer of the oracle bone inscriptions, seems to have said it, but he can't remember it clearly. In personal memory, the earliest that can be determined should be Gu Jiegang's "The Story in the Hexagram of Zhou Yi" published in the early 20th century, in which the research of Emperor Yi's return to his sister is among them. For more classics, you can refer to Wang Guowei's work on Yinxu divination. This is early, and now it is even more, and the mutual corroboration between the Yin people's divination and the pre-Qin classics is one of the most important clues in the study of ancient Chinese history. If you are interested, you can search for it, and I won't do much popular science here, there are countless examples.
