62. The Finals Coming Early (5)
The next link of mutual attack and defense is not only an important moment for the second debate to vigorously attack the opponent's arguments, but also a key node to do everything possible to fill the loopholes of the main general. The Debaters of Secondary School No. 1 have been tested for a long time and naturally know their responsibilities, but they are also more aware of the great crisis they are currently facing.
The theme of this competition is "Born from the Heart", and the No. 1 Middle School, as the opposing party, decided to "Born from the Heart" after discussion. They feel that with the blessing of the famous saying of Confucius "judge people by their appearance, they lose their sons", and then find a few historical figures who are ugly but talented, outstanding in appearance but have evil hearts as evidence, such as Zhong Lichun, a saltless woman, and Cao Mengde, a three-inch Ding Cao, and then Daji who watched the cannon for fun, and the praise of the princes of the Beacon Opera, it is a matter of minutes to overturn Huai'an Mansion.
The opposing general also adhered to this idea when drafting his speech, and took it for granted that "appearance" means "appearance", that is, appearance and posture. Therefore, as soon as he came up, he began to discuss that physiognomy has nothing to do with the nature of the heart, and there is no necessary connection between the two, thinking that "the appearance is born from the heart" and thus "judging people by appearance" is just a bad habit that people have followed for a long time, and even Confucius is not exempt from vulgarity, such as the ugly appearance of Yutai Ming, but the facts have proved that his talent and character are excellent, which is enough to prove that it is wrong to judge people by appearance, and also proves that physiognomy has nothing to do with the nature of the heart.
Doesn't that make sense?
But no one expected that Huai'an Mansion would not play cards according to the routine, and when they came up, they would clear up the relationship between "appearance" and "appearance", and instantly turned their arguments into unstable lame sheep. If we can't add proof that "appearance" is both "appearance", then there are only two choices in the next competition: either everyone pretends to be deaf and dumb and will make mistakes, and insisting on "appearance" is equal to "appearance" and not relaxing, and the road goes to the dark; or the second debate, the third debate, and the free man put aside the main general's argument, change course, and reopen the discussion around "the relationship is not born from the heart".
However, no matter which choice is made, the No. 1 Middle School is doomed to tragedy! Therefore, the second debate of the No. 1 Middle School did not care about accusing Fu Shouzhang of anything wrong with his arguments, but went back and honestly discussed the relationship between "appearance" and "appearance" to prove that "appearance" is both "appearance."
But what should I say about this?
If it were two philosophical terms, of course there would be a lot to say when they were analyzed. If it's two living people, they can also talk about it well. But now that two words with similar meanings and little difference are in front of you, it is really a bit difficult for you to talk for three minutes with a straight face. As a result, the second debater talked for a long time, and he didn't say a reason, and in the end, even he himself was a little confused, not to mention the judges and the audience in the audience?
Just when the other party was speaking in the second debate, Jiang Shuiyuan carried a pen like flying, wrote a note and handed it to Chen Di.
Chen Di opened the note and saw that it read: "You can first point out that 'appearance' is not equal to 'appearance'." "Saying Wen Jie Zi": 'Appearance, Song Yi also. It can be seen that the word "appearance" refers to the appearance ("song" and the word "rong" were used as false in ancient times). And 'phase' is interpreted as 'provincial sight' in the "Shuowen", which is extended to the things seen, including appearance, behavior, temperament, and conversation. In the "Mahayana Righteous Chapter" written by Huiyuan of the Sui Dynasty, it is said that "the body of the Dharma is called the phase", "the color of the eyes and the ears, such as the shape and color of the place, etc., are now called the phase", which shows that the "phase" includes "appearance", but "phase" is not equal to "appearance"!
"Then you can refute the allusion of 'judging people by their appearance, losing their son and feather'. According to the records of the "Historical Records", there is a sentence under "Confucius thought that the material was thin", "after receiving the karma, he retreated to practice, and he could not do it, and he did not see the doctor Qing for non-official affairs", which can focus on "receiving employment" and "practicing", pointing out that the initial "talent is thin" and that great changes only appeared after studying; When he was thin, he only saw the ugly appearance of Tantai Mingming, and did not see his later actions, that is, he only looked at his appearance, did not distinguish his appearance, and was biased, so he 'lost Ziyu'.
"Finally, I remember that the song ends with elegance, and once again reiterates the argument that 'each other is born from the heart'. β
After reading it, Chen Di turned his face slightly and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Shuiyuan with his eyes, not at all dissatisfied with Jiang Shuiyuan's overstepping and pointing fingers, but full of gratitude. The reason is very simple, the participants in the primary selection competition at the provincial level are ordinary middle school students, and you expect them to be able to play on the spot and say incisive analysis, profound philosophy, and large expositions, which is really difficult! It is also unrealistic! Of course, even if they can really boast and talk wildly, I am afraid that the audience and some judges will not be able to appreciate it and accept incompetence!
So what do the audience and the judges like? They like sharp questions, they like witty answers, and they like the debaters to quote a lot of famous quotes and phrases that they have heard and unheard of with overwhelming momentum. Because this is the most direct way of strength that they can feel and appreciate, and it is also the best means of debate that middle school students can do. ββLiu Xinying once quoted Mr. Han Xianru's point of view, believing that the first realm of learning is to use threads to connect all his knowledge points. And this series of quotations in the debate is the first attempt to enter this realm. So every time this happens, the audience and the judges will stand up and cheer and give the warmest applause.
In Jiang Shuiyuan's note, how to refute and analyze is secondary, the key is that he provides a series of powerful arguments from "Shuowen Jie Zi", "Mahayana Chapter", and "Historical Records", which is enough to make Chen Di shine in the refutation and argument link. Therefore, when she saw the note, she was not only not angry, but excited, and the tension of the previous match against the strong opponent was gone, and she was even a little eager to try.
As expected, Chen Di, who is quite a general, was relaxed and used the few arguments handed by Jiang Shuiyuan just right, triggering the first cheer in the audience.
The leader of the Huai'an Fu squadron will first distinguish and analyze the separation of "appearance" and "appearance" in the argument, which has made the judges' eyes shine. And Chen Di's brilliant performance in the second debate is in stark contrast to the ignorance of the other party's second argument. With two heavy punches in a row, he immediately forced the No. 1 middle school team to the edge of the cliff, and was only half a step away from elimination. But Jiang Shuiyuan didn't dare to be careless at all, because the strength of the No. 1 Middle School was too strong, and even if there was a slight flaw in the apex before the end, they might be caught and turned over.
The debaters of No. 1 Middle School probably also realized that they were on the verge of life and death, and if they could not recover the decline in the next round of mutual debate and free debate, it would mean that No. 1 Middle School stopped in the knockout round for the first time in nearly ten years, missed the championship, and became the sinners of No. 1 Middle School through the ages! Will they win in danger, or will they retreat and sit back and wait for death?
The third debate of the No. 1 middle school team gave their choice with an aggressive momentum and cold and piercing eyes: "In our daily life, we usually use the word 'physiognomy' together, physiognomy, physiognomy, physiognomy is physiognomy, and appearance is physic, which is well-known and conventional. Isn't it a bit too nitpicky to pick up the difference between 'appearance' and 'appearance' in your argument, and wantonly expand the scope of the word 'phase'?"
Jiang Shuiyuan was happy in his heart: The other party's three arguments about this problem, everyone had also thought about it in the preparation room just now, and discussed the countermeasures, so it should be easy to deal with. As long as you give him a killing stick on the first question, kill his sharpness fiercely, and then it will be easy to deal with!
I saw Fu Shouzhang stand up and replied slowly: "First of all, we are now in a difficult competition of Chinese studies, the purpose of which is to learn the classics of the sages and pursue the spirit of the sages, not daily life, let alone use 'conventions' as an excuse. Secondly, our second defense cited the "Shuowen Jie Zi" to explain the difference between the literal meanings of "phase" and "appearance", and used the "Mahayana Righteous Chapter" to prove it, which can be said to have a self-origin, not as the opponent's debater said, nitpicking, leading the difference and the new!"
The No. 1 Middle School asked a vigorous question, and the Huai'an Fuzhong School answered reasonably, evidence-based, and discussed, and the wonderful debate once again won the enthusiastic cheers of the audience. The momentum of the other party's third argument was discouraged, although the next question of the second debate and the question of the free man was still sharp, but Chen Di and Zeng Ping were careful to deal with it, although there was nothing brilliant, but it did not let people catch the pigtails.
After being a listener for nearly half an hour, now it's finally my turn! Jiang Shuiyuan said silently in his heart.
Now that the shape is very good for Huai'an Fuzhong, Jiang Shuiyuan decided to take advantage of his illness to kill him, completely knock the No. 1 Middle School to the ground, step on one foot, and let it never turn over. However, he did not be as domineering as the other party's three arguments, but asked gently: "According to the record of the Old Tang Book, Volume 43, "Career Official Zhi II", the Tang Dynasty 'Whoever chooses people with four talents, and school merit with three realities. The four talents are body, speech, book, and judgment. Its superior elders are desirable'. Among them, "body" and "speech" refer to the appearance of the body and the correct speech, respectively, which belong to the scope of "appearance". If, according to what the opponent's defense friend just said, 'each other is born from the heart' is a fallacy, and 'judging people by their appearance' is a bad habit, the rule of officials in the Tang Dynasty should be in a mess, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty should be weak. In fact, the Tang Dynasty had a strong national strength and was known as the strongest after the Qin and Han dynasties. May I ask the opposing party, how should this be explained?"
