Chapter 1200: Immortality and Imperishment

Of course, this qiē is just his idea, and he wants to put this idea into practice, especially in this era when Zhu Cheng's science is deep-rooted. He does not have the spirit of dedication to science in the West, so he chooses a gentle method, which is to obtain the approval of scholars, so that they can imperceptibly break the cognition of science, so that they can recognize a new way, and then pass it on to their students, and quietly carry out a cultural change ......?

Of course, I can't say this to them, first, it's too unbelievable, and second, the current West has not yet reached the level of what he said, at best, it is just in the making, so at this time, he has to break the tradition and be a guide.

"Elder Ge, how many years has Zhu Cheng been studying science now?" Yang Zheng asked casually.

Yang Pu was waiting for him to make a generous statement to himself, thinking about what this guy would say, who knew that after waiting for a long time, it was such a brainless sentence, but he was not ambiguous, and said in a deep voice: "Ercheng Zeng was a classmate of Zhou Dunyi, the founding master of science in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his works were compiled into "Ercheng Collection" by later generations. They regard "reason" or "heavenly reason" as the highest category of philosophy, and believe that reason is omnipresent, immortal, and imperishable, not only the origin of the world, but also the highest criterion of social life.

In terms of poor reasoning methods, Cheng Hao "mainly quiets" and emphasizes "righteousness and sincerity"; Cheng Yi "respects the main thing" and emphasizes "learning from things". In terms of the theory of human nature, Zhu Xi advocated "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires", and explained this view in depth to make it more systematic. The emergence of the Ercheng doctrine marked the formal formation of the Song Dynasty's ideological system. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi inherited and developed Ercheng Thought and established a complete and refined ideological system of objective idealism. Broadly speaking, it also includes the doctrines of the "five sons" of the Northern Song Dynasty (Zhou Dunyi, Shao Yong, Zhang Zai, and Ercheng) that Zhu Xi ingested, and extends to the ideas of Zhu Xi's disciples, later scholars, and followers of Cheng Zhu as a whole. Since Zhu Xi is the largest representative of this faction, it is also referred to as Zhu Zixue.

Cheng Zhu Lixue began to be accepted and respected by the ruling class in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and it has been more than 400 years since the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"More than four hundred years?" Yang Zheng sighed softly: "If I hadn't come to this era inexplicably, this doctrine would still be influencing the doctrine of four hundred years, eight hundred years before and after, and it would be strange if it wasn't ossified?"

Yang Zheng said: "Four hundred years, Lord Yang doesn't think that in the past four hundred years, the time for scholars to face Zhu Zi's Four Books and Five Classics is too long, this world is very big, in addition to preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires, there is also a thing called science, there is astronomy, chemistry, psychology, as well as aesthetics, physics, calculus, geometry, which are all knowledge, and my Ming scholars are only immersed in the Four Books and Five Classics, and they are only interested in reading for the imperial examination, what does this mean for the people and the country?"

Slanted his eyes at Yang Pu, seeing that he was listening carefully, he continued: "Don't hide it from the elders, when the lower officials were young, when they recited Confucius's "Analects", there would always be doubts?"

Yang Pu said in a loud voice: "What doubts?"

Yang Zheng's expression was flat, and he didn't mean to laugh, which made Yang Pu slightly stunned, and his expression became a little stricter.

Yang Zheng said: "When I was a child, I recited the famous words of Confucius: When you learn and learn it, don't you also say it? If you have friends from afar, you will not be happy? People do not know and are not ashamed, and you are not a gentleman? These three words are read together, literally, all Chinese, young and old, must know. According to the commentaries of the ancients, learning is to practice it at any time. "Don't say it", "say" is a word borrowed by the ancients, that is, the word "Yue" that is happy, it is very happy. If this is a very correct commentary, so that Confucius can be a saint, then I don't admire it, and I won't even go to the Confucius Temple in Dalongtong. Speaking of conscience, when teachers and parents forced us to study, the situation was really "'hard' to learn and learn". If Confucius had said this, I would have admired him as a sage, because he was so knowledgeable and sophisticated.

As for "having friends from afar, it's a pleasure." From ordinary people to civil servants, those who rely on their salaries to eat are "rich for no more than three days, but poor for only one month." When they are poor, their friends want to come to their homes for dinner, and they can't even get their pants, and that is a very painful thing. Therefore, it is "a friend from afar who is not 'miserable'." "It's not a pleasure.

The third sentence is "People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen." The so-called "sorrow", as far as the literal interpretation is concerned, is the resentment in the heart, which is not issued, and there is a sense of annoyance, disgust, hatred, and resentment in the heart. Then, if others don't understand me, and I don't resent it in my heart, then I can be considered a gentleman. Then I'd rather not be a gentleman, you don't care about me, I don't beat you, I don't lie to you, it's always okay to feel sad in my heart!

According to the literal text of the book, following the commentary, this is what it says. But is this really the case, I don't think so, but this said, after hundreds or even thousands of years, not only are the readers disgusted with the four books, but even Lord Yang has this idea!"

Yang Pu had to admit this, because these few words, after thousands of years, he has become a religious dogma, a hard law, must be obeyed, there is no play at all, and even other understandings can not be made, which is undoubtedly the most common for a reader?"

Yang Zheng said: "If you don't let go of your thoughts, your eyes will always be imprisoned by these religious dogmas and hard laws.

Yang Pu was loyal to Daming, how could he tolerate this kind of talk, and said: "Nonsense, naturally it won't?"

Yang Zheng said: "Then from now on, break the dogma of this religion, the hard legal provisions, and inject new air into my Ming Dynasty, and logic is a tool of knowledge, is the best fresh air, with it, I Ming after decades, hundreds of years, can have science, aesthetics, chemistry, physics, optics, psychology, and even architecture have great development, at that time, a hundred schools of thought contend, everywhere shows a vigorous vitality, compared to a modern lump of stagnant water, what does the elder think?"

Yang Pu nodded and said, "If, as you said, breaking the dogma of Zhu Cheng's science for four hundred years and presenting a situation of a hundred schools of thought contending, it ......is indeed very powerful!

Yang Zheng said in an extremely lonely voice: "Ge Lao, the current Daming was originally an iron house without doors and windows. If the iron house were to be destroyed, and there were many sleeping people lying in it, they would eventually be suffocated to death—from slumber to death before they knew it, and no one would feel the pain and the sorrow of dying. Is it merciful or cruel that you have now shouted loudly and awakened a few of the more sober people, so that they may not escape despite their awakening, and that they know the pain and the sorrow of dying, and that you are powerless to save them?"

Yang Pu was stunned for a moment, obviously reminiscing about these philosophical words.

Yang Zheng's voice suddenly became powerful: "Either explode in silence, or die in silence!"

Yang Puzheng carefully experienced these words, and after listening to the last sentence, his expression first froze, and then he laughed and said: "Good boy, you will set the old man so soon!" After a pause, he replied: "Do you know that the old man is Gui Geng this year?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Yang Zheng's eyes, Ge Lao, the word Hongji, Hongwu for five years, was born in Shishou, Huguang. He was also a scholar in the second year of Jianwen with Yang Rong, and was awarded Hanlin editing. In the early years of Yongle, the prince washed the horse, became the crown prince Zhu Gaochi's East Palace subordinates, Yongle 12 leap September, Chengzu returned to the north to return to the division, Renzong sent an envoy to meet a little late, Han King Zhu Gaochu took the opportunity to enter the court, Chengzu was angry, and ordered all the officials and subordinates of the East Palace to be arrested and imprisoned. This became the second major incident in the dispute over the establishment of the prince after Xie Jin was imprisoned. At that time, only Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department and the Zhan Shifu, was fortunate not to be troubled because he was an old man who was the ancestor of Chengzu and "Jing Nan".

Jin Zhong is a person who dares to speak up, he didn't care about angering Chengzu, and used his life to protect the prince, so that the prince was not abolished, but as the palace officials of the East Palace, Ge Lao, Huang Huai and others were imprisoned in prison because of this incident, and the food supplied by the family was cut off many times, and Chengzu's mind was unpredictable, and he could die at any time. But Ge Lao is more diligent in his studies and never stops. During his ten years in prison, he will read through the scriptures and historical books several times.

Renzong ascended the throne, and the elder was released from prison and awarded the official bachelor of Hanlin. Renzong built the Hongwen Pavilion, ordered the old man of the Pavilion to take charge of the Pavilion, and was immediately promoted to Taichang Siqing.

After Xuanzong ascended the throne, he entered the cabinet, and Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others co-ordinated the machine service, because the three Yang entered the cabinet, the people of the time said that Yang Shiqi had learned, Yang Rong had talent, and Yang Pu had elegant exercises. In addition, Shiqi is called "Xiyang", Rong is "Dongyang", and Pu is "Nanyang". The adult was born in the fifth year of Hongwu, and now it is the second year of Xuande, I'm afraid he is fifty-six years old, right?"

"Hehe, do you know a lot about the old man?" Yang Pu was not surprised, with the improvement of his prestige and status over the years, his history has long been talked about, but it was Yang Zheng's last sentence, saying that Yang Shiqi has learned, Yang Rong has talent, and Yang Pu has elegant exercises. In addition, Shiqi is called "Xiyang", Rong is "Dongyang", and Pu is "Nanyang". It was the first time he had heard of it, and he couldn't help but feel novel.
