Chapter 792: The State of Etiquette

Su Huai didn't expect someone to help him, turned his head to look at the seat of the World Academy of Sciences, and saw an Asian standing up, Su Huai thought to himself, could it be a Chinese?

"My name is Xu Yang from Seoul, I work at the Institute of Physics, and I am also the third generation of Korean Confucianism~"

This Professor Xu had the demeanor of a humble gentleman, and his eyes were full of awe when he looked at Su Huai.

Su Huai's explanation of the epidemic prevention of gunpowder just now seemed to convince Professor Xu, and it also made him extremely proud of being a descendant of Yan Huang.

Seeing Su Huai's doubts, Xu Yang introduced himself: "My teacher is a great Confucian Jin Bing, who respects Mr. Su very much, and has admired Mr. Su for a long time. ”

Only then did Su Huai remember that at the UNESCO Conference before, an old Confucian student who read the "Confucian Rules" turned out to be a student of Jin Daru.

"Mr. Su, Professor Heng's question, let me explain it to you. Xu Yang smiled kindly, they are all academics, and there is no need to conflict with each other so fiercely.

Su Huai thought that this person was going to relieve him, but he didn't know if he had enough knowledge, and he didn't know what his intentions were, so he asked, "Dare to ask Professor Xu, have you learned "Zhou Li"?"

"Slightly. When Professor Xu heard Su Huai ask about the Confucian classics, he immediately responded.

"Well, let me ask you, what are the types of Jiali in the Zhou Rite. Su Huai asked.

"The atmosphere of Jiali, the gift of the wedding crown, the gift of the guest shooting, the gift of steaming, the gift of celebration. Professor Xu said.

"Well, you have a good back, so you can explain. Su Huai nodded slightly to show a look of appreciation, and everyone was full of doubts, not understanding why Su Huai suddenly asked "Zhou Li".

Hendry suddenly sneered: "Mr. Su, you haven't answered my question yet, what do you mean by deliberately diverting the topic?"

Su Huai didn't make a sound and sat down calmly, but Professor Xu smiled and said:

"Professor Hendry has studied history, don't you understand that Su Sheng has already answered your question?"

"Where did he answer?" Hendry didn't expect the people from the World Academy to jump out, and he was a little caught off guard.

Professor Xu said: "China has always been a state of etiquette, and the highest ceremony is presided over by the emperor himself, such as sacrificing heaven and earth, sacrificing the sun, moon and stars, and at the end of the sacrificial activity, there will be fireworks and firecrackers from the Son of Heaven to show the completion of the ceremony."

And in the book "Zhou Li, Chunguan, and Dazongbo", when discussing the etiquette of the Son of Heaven and the vassal states, it wrote:

In the spring, the emperor sees the dynasty, the summer sees the sect, asks to see Yue, the winter sees the encounter, and the later generations of the Son of Heaven see foreign envoys, tribute, and the audience will set off fireworks and firecrackers when they meet, which is the form of the Yanhuang ethnic music, passing on friendship and consolidating national unity ......"

Saying that, Professor Xu smiled:

From this point of view, the royal invention of fireworks was not a waste of life and money, but a form of etiquette to avoid war and enjoy with neighbors, which is a Chinese ceremony. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Xu couldn't help but show reverence, and bowed to Su Huai:

"The Yanhuang civilization, the state of etiquette, invented gunpowder, but did not make weapons, but made fireworks of national rites, united neighbors, and the mind is really admirable......"

If Su Huai said this by himself, he would inevitably have the suspicion that Wang Po was selling melons, but it was said by someone from the World Academy of Sciences, or by a North Korean who was Su Huai's sworn enemy.

Then the meaning is different.

When many Xinou audiences heard this, they couldn't help but show admiration.

They didn't expect that the Chinese people would have such an elegant, gentle and tolerant side.

What kind of elegant and humanistic spirit is a nation that uses gunpowder to make fireworks, called ceremonial flowers, which connects friendship more than the enthusiasm of making guns.

"I really want to go to Huaxia to see, why isn't that what the media reports?"

"I'm going to see it when I get the chance. ”

"Huaxia is so amazing?"

Hearing these words, Zhou Xingxing and Qiu Shuzhen couldn't help but feel a fiery sense of pride in their hearts, proud of being born as a Chinese, and at the same time secretly made up their minds that they must be worthy of their Chinese identity and no longer do anything embarrassing abroad.

I only saw Professor Xu come over and asked, "Sage Su, in fact, I also came to take the opportunity to study today, and I want to ask for advice." ”

Su Huai had a good impression of this North Korean anomaly, and asked, "Professor Xu, please speak." ”

Professor Xu asked: "I would like to ask whether the Chinese rites in the Book of Rites and the Analects are still useful in modern times? ”

Su Huai thought for a while and said:

"The reason why a civilization is great must be because it has the attribute of self-evolution, Confucius said more than 2,000 years ago, in China at that time, it must have its advanced nature.

But now it is not necessarily suitable, the etiquette in the "Book of Rites" only points to the hand of the moon, not the moon itself, if Confucius lives to modern times, he will definitely evolve Confucian civilization to meet the standards of modern people. ”

Professor Xu's question made Su Huai very vigilant, because this person knows the Confucian classics, and what he asks is the key point, and if he doesn't answer well, I'm afraid that people will grab the handle.

Professor Xu asked again: "Does that mean that Confucian etiquette is no longer useful in modern times?" ”

Su Huai replied: "I personally think that if you want to go to the chaff, the gift of Huaxia is now in the eyes of ordinary people, and you only need to do these few words:

Positive body, Qi color, obedient rhetoric, father and son, and elder and young.

Translated, it means to dress neatly, have a dignified expression, speak appropriately, be kind to the father and the son, and be kind to the young and the young. ”

Everyone looked at each other when they listened, Su Huai said Chinese etiquette, but it was just these few simple words, but how many people could do it?

Professor Xu realized something, bowed and said, "Su Sheng's advice, I keep it in mind, and I will definitely tell the teacher." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Su Huai again, and his eyes flashed with a hint of slyness:

"Mr. Su, I also want to ask you, since you said that Huaxia is such a country of etiquette and has inherited Confucian etiquette, but the actual situation does not seem to be like this. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was caught off guard, originally thinking that this Professor Xu was Su Huai's helper, but they didn't expect him to turn the gun halfway.

Just listen to Professor Xu:

"China is a state of etiquette, why are modern Chinese people so vulgar, I believe that all of you here have seen the streets of Xinou, many spitting Chinese people, as well as loud noises, and some people on the cultural relics of various countries, write XX to visit here.

I also heard that in China, there are old people who fall, and young people come to help him, and as a result, the old man blackmails him for medical expenses......"

Professor Xu said that it is a lot of factual news, and everyone in Xinou knows that since China is a country of etiquette, how can Chinese people appear in such an ugly state?

Dean Mei, Mr. Wang listened to the audience with a tight heart, I didn't expect this Professor Xu to be so difficult, if it was them, Su Huaizhen didn't know how to deal with it.
