57. The Opening Match (I)

It's no wonder that Chen Di and the others' faces have changed drastically.

"Cang Liao knows etiquette" comes from the mouth of Guan Zhong, the "first phase of China". This ruthless man is not only a master of the national economy, he knows how to mine mountains to make money, boil the sea for salt, and establish a state-run Goolan teaching workshop, but also has a clear understanding of intrigues and tricks, the Northern Expedition to the mountains, the southern service of Qiangchu, the princes of Jiuhe, and the world, assisting the Duke of Qi Huan to become the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. Even the old master Confucius, whose eyes were above the top, admired him so much that he threw himself on the ground, claiming that "the people have received it now." Microtubule Zhong, I was sent to the left". This sentence "Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing" was also written into the "Historical Records" by Sima Qian together with the glorious deeds of Guan someone, so that it became famous through the ages and was talked about by later generations.

Two thousand years later, this famous sentence was strongly praised by the West to help the suffering and save the vast number of workers and peasants who rebelled against the righteous horse sect. As the red flag was planted halfway around the world, "the economic base determines the superstructure" – another expression of "the warehouse knows the etiquette" – became even more well-known. This kind of truth, which has been recognized by the authorities of the East and the West and is universal, is too difficult to overturn the case!

The referee didn't care what the mood of both sides was, and immediately announced: "You have two hours to prepare, please go to the preparation room for each team to prepare carefully, and come here on time to participate in the game in two hours." ”

As soon as he entered the preparation room, Zeng Ping complained repeatedly: "Why are we so lucky? Did we go out and didn't look at the yellow calendar, or did we hit the fate? I thought that picking up a soft persimmon could easily win a good start, but I didn't think about it, but I was hit on the head!"

Substitute Shi Xuan was even more unscrupulous, and pointed the finger at Jiang Shuiyuan: "Senior Brother Jiang, you didn't wash your hands when you went to the toilet, right? Look at your smelly hands!"

Jiang Shuiyuan's face remained the same: "What's the matter? I think my luck is okay! Although the lottery is not considered to be a good luck, at least it is above average, and there is a lot of room for argumentation." I wonder why everyone is so frustrated?"

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Jiang Shuiyuan, and they didn't know whether he was confident or a dead duck with a hard mouth.

Chen Di hurriedly asked, "'There's a lot of room for argumentation'?" Senior Brother Jiang, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Shuiyuan found a stool and sat down, and then slowly explained: "The debate topic can be roughly divided into two situations according to the literal and difficult Cheng dΓΉ, one is to look at the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water, and the difficulty of the debate can be seen at a glance from the literal word, and there is no need to explore it carefully. This is relatively common. On the other hand, if you look at the mountain and not the mountain, or the water if you look at the water, you can see that one side is in a position to win, and only when you think about it carefully will you find that it is dangerous and abnormal, while the other side seems to be sure to lose, but in fact it can easily win. In other words, it seems to be difficult, but it is easy, and it is difficult. The 'Cang Liao Knows Etiquette' that we encountered today is the latter situation!"

"Oh, then you can be clear!"

Although many people in the team have very opinions on Jiang Shuiyuan's selection and serving as the main general, they still recognize his Chinese culture skills very much, which even Fu Shouzhang has no objection to. Hearing him say that it was easy to win, everyone immediately cheered up and sat around him to listen to his explanation.

Jiang Shuiyuan did not deliberately take Qiao, and immediately carried out a detailed analysis of the debate: "Speaking of 'Cangqiao is real and knows etiquette', everyone generally first thinks that it is from Sima Qian's "Historical Records", but few people know that it is actually derived from the "Herdsmen's Chapter" of "Guanzi", the original text is 'Cangqiao actually knows etiquette, and food and clothing know honor and disgrace'. Sima Qian quoted this sentence in the "Historical Records" and changed it slightly, and it became the well-known 'Cangqiao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing'.

"As we all know, Guan Zhong was a representative figure of Legalism in the Spring and Autumn Period and was known as the 'Pioneer of Legalism'. I don't need to say much about the deep hatred between Legalism and Confucianism, right? I don't need to say much about the pen-and-ink lawsuit between Legalism and Confucianism? The controversy over etiquette, righteousness, honor, and honor and disgrace is even more abundant, and the history is endless. Although Sima changed the word 'then' to the word 'and', which weakened the causal relationship between 'Cang Liao Shi' and 'Zhi Li', there are still many articles that can be done in it. This is one of them!"

Chen Di slapped his thigh violently: "That's right, 'starving to death is a small matter, and losing a festival is a big thing' is a classic saying of Song Ming physicists!"

Jiang Shuiyuan continued: "I know that another reason for everyone's concern is that the German horse sect leader said something similar, he believes that 'the economic base determines the superstructure', and there is a rigorous argumentation system, which has been recognized by many people in modern times. If it is an ordinary debate competition, it is indeed a bit tricky for us to encounter this debate topic, but now we are difficult to discuss Chinese culture, and it is strictly forbidden to use Western philosophical terms, so that the conclusion of the Ma sect leader will become a good-looking but inedible poisonous fruit, and the slightest touch will be punished. And we can rest assured that we can boldly quote the remarks of Confucianism since the pre-Qin period, without worrying about violating the forbidden law. This is the second one. ”

The atmosphere in the room instantly came to life, and everyone nodded: "Exactly, exactly!"

"After Senior Brother Jiang said this, I especially found out what is the strong evidence for the conclusion of the Ma Sect Master, it is clearly the ** with honey!"

"Can't quote the conclusion of the Sect Master Ma, it's equivalent to abolishing one of their arms!"

Jiang Shuiyuan also said: "'Cang Liao Shi and know etiquette' is the positive point of view, so what is our opposing point of view? I think it should be that 'Cang Liao Shi' and 'know etiquette' are not necessarily related. In order to demonstrate this, we can start from two aspects, one is that Cangli can also know etiquette if he is not truthful, and the other is that Cangqiao may not know etiquette. Throughout the thousands of years of written history in China, there has always been a lot of troubled times and few rules for the sake of the rich, and there are many good gifts for the rich. It's easy to find evidence from these two aspects to prove our point. This is the third. ”

Fu Shouzhang said: "Minister Jiang is reasonable! If 'Cang Lishi' can 'know etiquette,' then after the rule of Wenjing, everyone should be a gentleman who abides by etiquette, and everyone is loyal and good-looking, and the dynasty will be stable for a long time, and the country will be prosperous for a long time." In fact, in the past 2,000 years, there have been countless traitors and traitors, and there have been endless successions of rise and fall. What does this mean? It shows that 'Cang Li' and 'Knowing Etiquette' have nothing to do with each other at all!"

Jiang Shuiyuan agreed: "According to the "Historical Records", "During the more than 70 years of Hanxing, the country was fine, except for floods and droughts, and the people gave enough to their families, and the government treasury was full of goods. The money of the Beijing division is huge, and it is rotten and cannot be studied. Taicang's millet Chen Chen is full of dew and accumulates outside, so that it is corrupt and inedible. From this point of view, Wenjing Zhizhi has indeed reached the standard of 'Cang Lishi'!"

Confucius said in the Analects: 'The state of the state is a tree, and the Guan family is also a tree.' Bangjun is the good of the two monarchs, there is anti-kun, and the Guan family also has anti-kun. Guan knows etiquette, but who doesn't know etiquette?' can't even manage someone himself, and he still wants to ask others to do it??"

Jiang Shuiyuan added: "Senior Sister Chen's idea is good, but you can add a sentence in the "Historical Records" 'Guan Zhongfu intends to be in the office', which proves that he has already reached the grand goal of 'Cang Lishi'. ”

"Rich and Fake Office? This is not just a 'canglio', I'm afraid that all their rats must have fatty liver!"

Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly said: "Like writing essays, debate competitions are also the most afraid of going off topic. Once we digress, even if we talk with lotus flowers and nod stubbornly, we will not be able to escape defeat in the end. For the debate topic of 'Cang Liao Shi and Know Etiquette', I think there are two misunderstandings that need special attention, one is to regard 'Cang Liao Shi' as 'profit', and 'know etiquette' as 'righteousness'.

"To borrow the concept of Western philosophy, 'Cang Liao Shi and know etiquette' is actually to explore the relationship between material foundation and social consciousness, materialism believes that matter determines consciousness, idealism believes that consciousness determines matter, and the two have always been in dispute, so we have today's debate. As for the debate of righteousness and benefit, the focus of the debate is on the relationship between behavioral morality and material interests. Although the two topics overlap a bit in the relationship between matter and morality, they must not be confused!"

No, compared with the metaphorical and perceptual discourse in Chinese philosophy, it is obvious that Western philosophical terminology can clarify the difference between the two more concisely and clearly. At present, the time is urgent, and the river water source does not care whether it is taboo or not.

"Then what's the other misunderstanding?" Fu Shouzhang urged.

"Another misunderstanding is that the main body of 'Cang Liao is honest and knows etiquette' cannot be caught in the distinction of a gentleman and a villain. If you carefully ponder the debate, you will find that whether you look at the word 'Cangli' or start from the "Herdsman Chapter" of "Guanzi", there is actually a hidden word "people", that is, the main body of "knowing etiquette" is the most extensive and common mainstream group in the whole society, rather than simply princes and generals, ministers and nobles, and it does not involve the difference between gentlemen and villains. However, Confucian classics such as the Analects and Mencius often focus on the difference between 'gentleman' and 'villain' when discussing issues such as peace and happiness in poverty and good manners in wealth. We must be very careful when quoting these sentences, we can break the surface with a point, but we can't take the surface with a point. Otherwise, once we get entangled in it, we will definitely lose more and win less!" Jiang Yuanyuan reminded earnestly.

Fu Shouzhang patted his head: "Thank you, Minister Jiang, for reminding me." Anyway, I really didn't pay much attention to the debate before, but there is still a subject, if this is caught by the other party, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable!"

Jiang Shuiyuan smiled: "I am also a fool with a thousand thoughts, and I will have one." Next, I would like to invite all seniors to pour out Panjiang and Luhai!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I know about this debate. First ......"
