Hearing Fu Shouzhang draw to the square, Chen Di, Lu Zongguang and others couldn't help but cheer loudly, but Fu Shouzhang's group of people let out a sigh in unison.

It stands to reason that in the debate competition, the positive side is generally slightly cheaper, because most of the debate questions given have been tempered for thousands of years and become familiar to everyone, and the debate is naturally smooth. And if the opposing party wants to overturn the case and publish it through the ages, it is really difficult to succeed without a little effort. But this experience does not seem to be very useful for the debate that "saints have no joys and sorrows."

One of the reasons is that "it is easy to say, but it is not difficult to prove".

It is as if a person has a mole on his body, and in order to prove this proposition, it is enough to find a mole in any part of his body, and to say that he has no mole, then he has to search every corner of his body, exhaust all possibilities, and make sure that there is no mole. Compared with the two, it is difficult to make a judgment.

The second reason is that the issue of "saints have no joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows" has been refuted in history.

According to historical records, the first guy to publicly propose that "saints have no joy, anger, sorrow and joy" was He Yan, a narcissistic madman who never leaves his hands with a powder eyebrow pencil, and a famous talented and handsome guy in the Three Kingdoms period. And at this time, in the Gaopingling Change, he and He Yan attacked Wang Bi in the same year, and put forward the theory of "saints have affection"-for-tat. Such a gorgeous slap in the face immediately provoked the brain-dead fans of the handsome guy He to besiege him, but as an official N generation, classmate Wang is still a young genius who is unhindered, and after a war of words, countless people have turned from black to fans, and he was stunned to win a place in the Wei literary and artistic circle, and he was on an equal footing with the handsome guy He!

The third reason is that academic problems have always been "the first revision is not secret, and the latter is refined".

Predecessors may have put forward an earth-shattering theory, but due to the limitations of vision, learning, the times and other factors, his theory will inevitably have loopholes of one kind or another. Later generations will reflect and repair on his foundation, and the new theories will definitely be more sophisticated, and the heights that can be achieved will definitely surpass those of their predecessors. And rightfully so.

It is very unfortunate that He Yan happens to be Wang Bi's predecessor, and his theory of "saints have no joy, anger and sorrow" is also earlier than Wang Bi's "saints have affection"!

Fu Shouzhang's group lost first in momentum before the competition, which made Huang Shuhui, Lu Zongguang and others excited, but Jiang Shuiyuan was cautiously optimistic: Wang Bi can defeat He Yan, it does not mean that his own people can also defeat Fu Shouzhang's group. If there is a slight carelessness in words, and a few people are punished by the referee and lose a good situation, there is no lack of precedent in the difficult field of Chinese studies!

After a little preparation, Liu Xinying announced the start of the game.

Jiang Shuiyuan had imagined the situation at the debate tournament countless times before, with the stage gushing endlessly, the mouth like a river, and the audience applauding thunderously and cheering; or the stage was-for-tat, sabre-rattling, and the audience held their breath and couldn't take their eyes off it; or...... In short, every scene makes people's blood run and blood boiling, and Jiang Shuiyuan even feels that he should bring some quick-acting heart-saving pills to participate in this kind of competition, and maybe it will come in handy at any time.

However, it turned out that he was overthinking!

The real situation at the scene is the first link, the main general of the positive side, Fu Shouzhang, first took out a crumpled note and read it for a while, and then slowly and logically, word by word, extended a few sentences to announce the end of the opening argument, the specified time is 5 minutes, and he only took less than 3 minutes. Fu Shouzhang's watch has already surprised Jiang Shuiyuan, who knew that his own side of the main general Huang Shuhui's watch xiàn is worse than him, took out the notebook and read it for half a minute, then froze there and didn't know what to say, so he had to turn over and over the words of those few words: "The saint is more than the gods, and the same as the five emotions of the people." Since people have seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, saints are the same as ordinary people, so naturally they should also have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. ”

I'm gone, how can this be? Could it be that I opened it in the wrong way?

Jiang Shuiyuan was dumbfounded, and Wu Zichen, who was sitting on the sidelines, was also dumbfounded, but Liu Xinying was the only one who handled it calmly, and she didn't know if she was used to seeing a lot of things, or if she was not surprised when her aura was strong. When Huang Shuhui repeated her broken thoughts for the fourth time, Liu Xinying motioned for her to sit down: "The argument of the opposing party is over." Next, enter the mutual attack and defense link, and the opponent will first refute the opponent's argument for 3 minutes. ”

The opponent's argument friend thinks that the saint is the heaven, the heaven is nature, and the saint changes with the cold and heat, and with the passage of the four seasons, so he has no intention of joy and anger. However, the four seasons of nature change in cold and summer, there is the joy of transformation, the anger of thunder, the sorrow of slaughter, and the joy of warmth, and the holy virtue and law, how can there be no joy, anger, sorrow and joy?...... "Chen Di has a few brushes, not only fully prepared and clearly organized, but also full of momentum, and can calm the scene. It's a pity that the speed of speech is a little too fast, the time is set for 3 minutes, and the end of the speech is less than 2 minutes.

Then there was the other party's second argument, Shi Xuan, refuting the opposing argument.

This guy spoke very smoothly, and he finished speaking for 3 minutes in one breath, his face did not change his color and his anger did not grow, and there was no stumbling and tone of voice, it was a pity not to go to the radio station to be a host. If there is only one shortcoming, it is to open a thousand words and digress from the topic. He said for a long time, and there was only one central idea: from a scientific point of view, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, hail, and temperature changes are all normal natural phenomena, and have nothing to do with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Words such as science and natural phenomena violate the rules of the game, and the second argument is sentenced to leave the court, please appoint your agent before leaving the court. There were finally a little twists and turns in the game, but Liu Xinying was still unfazed: "The following is a question from the three arguments of the positive side and one question for the first, second and fourth debates of the opposing side, and the opposing debaters will answer them separately." Each question should not exceed 20 seconds, and the cumulative time for answering the three questions is 3 minutes. ”

Because it involves itself, the water source of the river is also nervous.

I don't know if it's because Shi Xuan was sentenced to leave the scene, or because Lin Shaoyan was aggressive in the first place, the questions she asked were very sharp, even Chen Di felt a lot of pressure, and Huang Shuhui was naturally even more powerless, and she was completely unaware of what to do. The last question was to ask Jiang Shuiyuan, and Lin Shaoyan directly maximized his aura:

"The way of heaven is naturally constant, not for the sake of survival, not for the sake of ruin, and consistent, how can there be joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness? In harmony with heaven and earth, with the same body as governing the Dao, every move naturally echoes with the way of heaven, and how can there be joy, anger, sorrow, and joy? Can you deny this on the other side?"

Obviously, this question is Lin Shaoyan's killer feature, and Liu Xinying couldn't help but nod her head again and again after hearing this question.

Jiang Shuiyuan thought for a moment and replied abruptly: "I deny the opinion of the opponent's defense friend. First, although the way of heaven is lofty, it is only a word of 'reason' after all. In ancient times, the daughter of the Tushan clan leaned on the door and sang 'waiting for people', Liu Caichun in the Tang Dynasty recited 'looking towards the mouth of the river, mistaking a few people for a boat', and Xu Deyin in the Qing Dynasty wrote 'I expected to return to the Yun Pavilion, and smiled with a good sentence to see it', his heart and his feelings have not changed for thousands of years, isn't it not for Yao's survival, not for the sake of death, and consistent?

"Second, although the saint is in harmony with heaven and earth, and is in harmony with the way of governance, and his every move echoes the nature of the way of heaven, after all, the saint is a saint, not the nature of the way of heaven. A saint must move in accordance with things, and if he moves in accordance with things, he cannot be ruthless. If a saint is ruthless, without joy, anger, sorrow, or joy, how can he conform to things, learn from things, and comprehend heavenly principles?"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Zichen applauded: "Well said!"

Liu Xinying also applauded: "It is indeed a good answer!"

These two people, both real and fake, almost made Lin Shaoyan bite his silver teeth.

However, Lu Zongguang's attack and defense, as well as the summary of the attack and defense, and the free debate made the debate competition dull, and the stammering answers and upside-down nonsense became the main theme of the arena. Wu Zichen, an unenthusiastic spectator on the spotter, yawned countless times during this period to vent his dissatisfaction with the boring game. Until Liu Xinying announced: "Now let's enter the final summary argument session, and the opposing side will first speak in four arguments, with a time of 5 minutes." ”

Jiang Shuiyuan stood up and bowed slightly to Liu Xinying: "Thank you, President Liu! The way of heaven is lofty and difficult to ask, and all sentient beings are ignorant and ignorant, and the sage is the bridge between the way of heaven and sentient beings." So do saints have joys, angers, sorrows, and sorrows? We believe that saints have joys, angers, sorrows, and sorrows.

In other words, the reason why a saint is a saint is that he can understand the principles of heaven, conform to nature, and educate all people, not because he is ruthless. If you are ruthless, you can't conform to things, learn from things, and comprehend the principles of heaven, and if you can't comprehend the principles of heaven, how can you be a saint? The opponent argues that 'the heart is reason' and does not need to be understood, but everyone knows that Wang Yangming's 'heart is reason' also needs to be cultivated and understood through the body, mind, mind, knowledge, and things, in order to achieve the realm of seeing reason with a clear mind, rather than a simple mind is reason, and the heart is equal to reason.

"In fact, Confucius is a saint recognized by the Chinese people, and he was already called the 'saint of heaven' when he was alive, and he was even named the 'most holy teacher' in later generations. Such a sage is such a sage who, according to the Analects, once said, "In the year of your parents, you must not know it." One is happy, the other is afraid', it is the saint who is happy and afraid; 'Eight hundred dances in the court, it is tolerable, which is unbearable', 'Xiangwei Pigong, the Son of Heaven Mumu, ridiculed in the hall of the three families', it is the saint who is angry; 'Yan Yuan dies, the son cries and mourns', 'Oh! Heaven mourns!', it is the saint who mourns; 'There are friends from afar, are you happy?', 'Eat and drink water, bend the humerus and pillow, and the joy is also in it', it is the saint who is happy. Confucius's words and deeds are all in the classics and can be checked at any time. How can it be said that the saints do not have joys, sorrows, sorrows?

"Wang Rong of the Jin Dynasty once said: 'The saint forgets his feelings, and he is not in love, and the love is in my generation. 'The saint forgets his feelings, not ruthlessly, without joy, anger and sorrow, but with affection but conforms to nature and heavenly principles. In the "Analects and Constitutional Question 14", it is recorded that Gongshu Wenzi 'The master speaks when he speaks, and people do not tire of talking, and he laughs when he is happy, and he does not tire of laughing, and he takes righteousness and then he does not tire of taking'. The same is true of 'the saint has no joy, anger or sorrow', the saint follows nature and is emotional, and 'happy but not sorrowful, sad but not sad', so it is difficult for others to perceive, and it seems that he is silent and unforgiving, and in the end he is false.

"Today, we vigorously argue that 'saints have joys, sorrows, and sorrows', on the one hand, we must clear the source, and on the other hand, we also remind ourselves to deal with all kinds of emotions like Su Shi wrote articles, 'do what should be done, stop at what must not be stopped', not for affection, not for love, not for love, to achieve the realm of leisurely and long-term happiness. Thank you!"
