In the past, there was the Goose Lake Meeting, which gave birth to two famous philosophers. Now that Wang Yong and Chiba Zhenxi's gathering of sinologists from the two countries, I don't know what kind of reputation it will leave behind. ”

There are South Korean scholars who uphold a neutral attitude and sigh while watching the live TV broadcast.

Today, most South Korean scholars' resentment towards Wang Yong has long since dissipated.

And those who are jealous of Wang Yong are also completely convinced after watching today's live broadcast.

Wang Yong's erudition and talent in the Treatise on the Holy Ones far surpassed his age. Just listening to the remarks, I am afraid that no one will believe that this is the words of a young man in his early twenties, and more people will think that this is the words of an old Confucian master who "knows the destiny of heaven".

To be jealous of such a person is a waste of time and life. Because in Wang Yong's future life, those defeated generals of Wang Yong will never have the opportunity to fight Wang Yong again in their lives.

"Goose Lake Meeting? Hearing you say that, it really makes a little sense. It's just that the two masters of the Goose Lake Society in the past have created their own ideas and theories. Although Wang Yong and Chiba Masashi are already the two strongest sinologists at present, they are still a little far away from those two!" sighed another South Korean scholar.

The meeting of Goose Lake, which was frequently mentioned in the words of the two, was a famous event that occurred in the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan each founded their own doctrines, but they were incompatible with each other, and there was a situation where they would never die.

So Lu Zuqian invited Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan, intending to mediate the differences between the two schools. And this event is essentially a debate between objective idealism and subjective idealism. It has a revered position in the history of Chinese philosophy, and it is the first to open a academy meeting.

At the meeting, the two sides debated the "method of teaching people". Zhu Xi believes that there is no other way to deal with this issue, but to read more, observe more, give full play to the role of learning from things, and understand the essence of the world from books.

Lu Jiuyuan, on the other hand, thinks that learning from things is a kind of "poor kung fu", and he can't comprehend any truth after sitting on a stool for a day. It is necessary to be aware of one's own mind and recognize the nature of the human mind, so that good and evil, right and wrong, all emerge naturally.

The two sides debated fiercely for three days, although Lu Jiuyuan and his brother Lu Jiuling once had the upper hand, but in the end, neither party could convince anyone, so they could only break up unhappily.

The mediation did not come to fruition, but the debate had a profound impact on future generations.

Yangming's theory of mind, which is highly regarded in the East, was developed by Wang Yangming from Lu Jiuyuan's theory.

As for Zhu Xi's Cheng Zhu Lixue, it developed and grew, and once became the mainstream thought of several dynasties after the Southern Song Dynasty.

The impact of the Goose Lake Meetings can be seen.

The two South Korean scholars used the "Goose Lake Meeting" as an analogy between Wang Yong and Chiba Zhenxi, but they raised the two to a very high position.

It's just that the two of them at this time didn't bother to understand the comments of the outside world.

The two of them have been talking about saints for a full hour, and almost all the saints of the Chinese dynasties have been discussed by the two of them.

During this period, more and more people gathered on the top of the mountain.

Those who came up from the other two routes, although they were more than an hour late, finally caught up.

The top of the hill was so full that the organizing committee had to take measures to divert the crowd to avoid a stampede.

The tourists who took the lead in occupying a good position all asked with a faint blankness: "When are these two going to be discussed? If this continues, I am afraid that we will not be able to tell the winner in another hour, right?"

"It's hard to say, so far, neither of the two has shown signs of defeat. I am afraid that it will end only when one party is stumped, or if there is a major mistake in his remarks. I look at it for an hour, and two hours is not enough. ”

"Two hours? Then it's going to be dark! This kind of argument is okay to look at for an hour, but if you watch it for two or three hours, it will cost you your life. No, I'll have to go down the mountain if it's not over. ”

Visitors to the summit were initially very interested, but as time passed, their patience was also lost.

But no one urged Wang Yong and Chiba Zhenxi.

Everyone knows that this is a crucial game, and there is no reason to give up because of the impatience of tourists.

"Almost, I see that everyone has lost patience! The last question, just from the word 'sacred', what do you think of the explanation?" Wang Yong glanced at the tourists around him and said.

Chiba Maki is getting older, and this fast-paced collision of ideas makes him obviously tired.

Hearing Wang Yong's last question, Chiba Zhenxi couldn't help but lift his spirits, thought about it slightly, and then dipped his fingers in snow water and wrote a big "Sheng" character on the stone table.

"Holy, the left ear and the right mouth, are deaf and sensitive, and understand the meaning of affairs. Combined with the word 'king' below, it is the king whose words and deeds have reached a certain height and spread the law to the world. Just like Confucius, 3,000 disciples, educating the world. This is the saint, the king of men. Not a person who shines through the ages, but not a saint. ”

Chiba Maki replied.

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of cheers.

"Well, the saints are the real kings! They are not like the emperors of a certain dynasty, who can only rule for a few decades, nor like a certain dynasty, which can only last for a hundred years. But no matter how the world changes, how the vicissitudes of the world, the words of the saints are always immortal. Dynasties have changed countless times, but the saints have not fallen. This is a saint!"

"That's right, if there are any outstanding people in ancient feudal society who are worthy of being written about and boasted about, I think there is nothing else except those saints. The First Emperor who swept away the six and merged the eight wildernesses, and King Arthur who led the Knights of the Round Table to conquer the continent, are all worthless in front of the saints! The saints are the stars in the sky, always bright and bright, forever hanging high in the night sky!"

A few Oriental tourists couldn't help but say.

Obviously, these people have a good understanding of Sinology, and they all make sense in a few words.

"That's the truth. The tourists on the top of the mountain nodded one after another, feeling that Chiba Maki was right.

Although many Chinese tourists do not have any expression on their faces, they actually secretly agree with it in their hearts.

The thousands of years of Chinese history is undoubtedly the best evidence of Chiba Zhenxi's words.

Starting from the Yellow Emperor, how many dynasties have collapsed, and how many emperors have died, but only a few saints have always shined in the long river of Chinese history, like eternal stars, guiding the footsteps of the entire nation.

These people have laid the core of the Chinese nation, and these people are the real kings of eternity, not those human emperors from one dynasty to another.

Chiba Zhenxi's answer was too appropriate, and there was no room for Wang Yong to add an answer.

This time, Wang Yong seems to be more auspicious and is going to die on the issue he took the initiative to propose.

Sure enough, Wang Yong listened to Chiba Zhenxi's answer and was silent for a long time.

I seem to be stumped.

Seeing this, the Oriental people couldn't help but show a faint joy, and immediately relented.

There are lessons from the past, but they dare not rejoice too early. Wang Yong reversed several times in a row, and their fragile nerves were tossed so that they couldn't withstand any wind and grass.

What if Wang Yong reverses again?

The people of the East are really scared.

"I'm afraid Mr. Wang won't be able to answer. A Chinese student shook his head and said.

"Yes, Mr. Wang shouldn't have taken the initiative to ask questions. Chiba Maki said the answer, if Mr. Wang just pursues differentness and says a different answer casually, most of the time he will lose. In everyone's hearts, Chiba Makoto's answer is the standard answer that is enough to convince the public. Another international student sighed.

Looking at Wang Yong again, he was still silent.

It's just that there is a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there seems to be a faint playfulness in it.

Chiba Maki was a little uncomfortable by Wang Yong's smile.

Because Wang Yong's eyes are clearly like looking at a monkey imitating a human.

But Chiba Maki didn't think his answer was so nonsense, he was full of confidence.

"It's your turn to answer!" Chiba Masa's voice was low, and he couldn't help but remind Wang Yong out loud.

"Oh. Wang Yong nodded unhurriedly.

Then the same finger dipped in water and wrote a word on the stone table.

Saint.

Same word, different way of writing.

Chiba Mashi wrote the traditional character "聖", while Wang Yong wrote the simplified character "sheng".

Although they are all the same word, the meaning expressed at this moment is completely different.

When the Chinese tourists saw the words written by Wang Yong, they all frowned, not understanding what they meant.

The Oriental people were puzzled and asked, "What is this word?"

It's a simplified Chinese holy character, and it's the same word written by Mr. Chiba. Someone explained.

"Oh, Simplified!" the Oriental people looked disapproving.

In their view, the simplification of Chinese characters carried out in China decades ago was clearly a cultural regression.

Many characters have been simplified inexplicably, completely losing the meaning of traditional characters.

Just like this holy word, the traditional Chinese word for sacred, has a very obvious meaning, and it is also very in line with the way of the sage.

But what about this simplified saint?

One on the top, one on the bottom, what the hell is this?

Laying down another piece of land? Is it quite in line with China's current strategy towards neighboring countries?

The people of the East couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter.

In the laughter, many Chinese tourists were red-faced, and a faint anger appeared on their faces.

An international student's eyes widened, and he pointed to the Oriental man who said bad things about Huaxia simplified Chinese characters, and said: "You only know how to laugh at Huaxia simplified Chinese characters, but do you know how much illiteracy simplified Chinese characters have helped Huaxia solve? How high social efficiency it has brought about? I don't believe you can write a 'melancholy turtle'! If you can write it in one minute, I will lose!"

"Hmph, isn't it just a melancholy turtle?" the Oriental man was not convinced, and squatted down and wrote on the snow.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly moved out of the way.

It's just that thirty seconds passed, fifty seconds passed, and one minute passed, and cold sweat faintly appeared on the forehead of the Oriental man.

It took a minute, and he hadn't even written the first word!
