Chapter 125: Writing the Book of Rites
This time, Ling Hao was not copying any exercise cheats, but writing a book.
And the book he is preparing to write is none other than the entire chapter of the prestigious Book of Rites.
Recently, Ling Hao drew the entire "Book of Rites", and wanted to spread it to the whole world through this way.
"The Book of Rites", also known as "Xiao Dai Li Ji" and "Xiao Dai Ji", was written in the Han Dynasty and compiled by Dai Sheng, a scholar of Western Han etiquette.
The Book of Rites is an important anthology of the ancient rules and regulations of Shenzhou, with a total of 20 volumes and 49 articles, the content of the book mainly writes about the pre-Qin ritual system, which embodies the philosophical ideas of pre-Qin Confucianism (such as the concept of heaven and Taoism, the universe, and the outlook on life), educational ideas (such as personal self-cultivation, education system, teaching methods, school management), political ideas (such as the education of politics, Datong society, ritual system and criminal law), and aesthetic ideas (such as the theory of the movement of things and the heart, and the theory of ritual and music), which is an important material for the study of pre-Qin society, and is a compilation of Confucianism.
The "Book of Rites" is one of the "Three Rites", one of the "Five Classics", and one of the "Thirteen Classics". Since Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty made the "Note", the status of the "Book of Rites" has risen, and it has been respected as the "Sutra" in the Tang Dynasty, and after the Song Dynasty, it ranks first in the "Three Rites".
The knowledge and ideological theories of ancient cultural history recorded in the Book of Rites have an important impact on the inheritance of Confucian culture, contemporary cultural education and moral education, and the construction of a harmonious socialist society.
Originally, there were 46 articles in the "Book of Rites", starting with "Qu Li" and ending with "Four Systems of Mourning Clothes", but because the content of "Qu Li", "Tan Gong" and "Miscellaneous Records" was too long, most versions divided it into upper and lower parts, so there are 49 articles.
The Book of Rites can be divided into four categories according to what is described:
(1) Write down the etiquette provisions, and make up for what he does not have in the book, such as "Quli", "Tangong", "Yuzao", "Mourning Clothes", "Da Biography", "Shaoyi", "Miscellaneous Notes", "Funeral Daji", "Running Funeral", "Throwing Pot", etc.
(2) Explain the significance of Zhou rites, such as "Zeng Ziwen", "Rites", "Ritual Vessels", "Suburban Special Sacrifice", "Internal Rules", "Xueji", "Music Records", "Sacrifice Law", "Sacrifice Righteousness", "Sacrifice System", "Interpretation of the Scriptures", "Mourning Gongwen", "Zhongni Yanju", "Confucius Idle Residence", "Fang Ji", "Zhongyong", "Table Records", "Tie Yi", "Ask for Funeral", "Dress Question", "Intersection", "Three Years of Question", "Confucianism", "University", "Four Systems of Mourning Clothes", etc.
(3) Explain the special articles of "Etiquette", such as "Guanyi", "Duyi", "Township Drinking Righteousness", "Shooting Righteousness", "Yanyi", "Hiring Yi", etc.
(4) Write down a certain system and decree, such as "The Royal System", "The Moon Order", "The Prince of Wen", "The Ming Tang Throne", etc.
At present, Ling Hao is writing two of the most famous articles in the Book of Rites: "University" and "The Mean".
The "University" put forward the three programs of Mingde, close to the people, and stopping at the best, and also put forward the eight items of Gewu, Zhizhi, Sincerity, Righteousness, Self-cultivation, Qi Family, Governing the Country, and Peaceful World, so it has the important significance of "inner sage" and "outer king".
"The Mean" emphasizes the ideological realm of "sincerity", regards "sincerity" as the highest category of the ideological system, takes the pursuit of "sincerity" as the criterion of "humanity", and puts forward the learning process and cognitive methods of "erudition", "interrogation", "prudence", "discernment" and "practice".
For example, the way of the university is in Ming (read the second tone) and Ming (read the second tone) virtue, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection.
[2] Knowing and then having a certainty, being fixed and then being quiet, being quiet and then being at peace, being at peace and then being able to consider, and then being able to attain.
[3] Everything has a beginning and an end. Knowing what to do is the shortest way.
[4] The ancients wanted to rule the country first if they were clear and virtuous in the world. Those who want to rule their kingdom must first gather their homes. Those who want to gather their families first cultivate their bodies. Those who want to cultivate their bodies should first correct their hearts. Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere. Those who want to be sincere should know first. Enlightenment is in Gewu.
"5" The character of the object is then known. Knowing and then sincerity. Sincerity and then righteousness. The heart is right, and then the body is cultivated. Self-cultivation and then family Qi. The family is united, and then the country is governed. The country is ruled and then the world is peaceful.
6. From the Son of Heaven to the Shuren, all of them have been based on self-cultivation.
[7] Those who are in chaos and end in the end will not be able to do so. What is thick is thin, and what is thin is thick, and there is nothing.
The right chapter covers the words of Confucius, and Zeng Zi describes it; the ten chapters of its biography are the meaning of Zeng Zi, and the door people remember it. The old version was quite wrong and simplified, but now because of Chengzi's decision, the scriptures are more examined, not in the order of the left.
Chapter I
[1] Kang said, "Kemingde. γ
"2" Dajia said, "Gu Yutian's destiny. γ
[3] Emperor Dian said, "Keming Junde. γ

Those who are "like learning from each other" will also learn Taoism; those who are "like pondering and grinding" will also practice themselves, those who are "stubborn and sorrowful" will be ashamed, and those who are "noisy" will be majestic, and those who "have a Fei gentleman will not be noisy in the end", the Tao is virtuous and good, and the people cannot forget it.
"5" Shiyun, "The king does not forget before the play!" "The gentleman is virtuous, and kisses his relatives." The villain enjoys it, and the profit is good. I will never forget it.

Chapter 5
γ1γThis is called Zhiben.
[2] This is the best thing to know.
The five chapters of the right biography cover the meaning of the knowledge of Gewu, and now it is dead. Idle taste to steal Cheng Zi's meaning, in order to make up for it: "The so-called knowledge is in the object: the word wants to know my knowledge, and the thing is in the matter and exhausts its reason, and the soul of the human heart is not known, and the things in the world are not unreasonable. However, there is no end to reason, so there is no end to it. It is the beginning of teaching in the university, and the scholar will be the thing in the world. It is not because of what it knows, and it is beneficial to the poor, so as to achieve the extreme. As for the long time of exertion, and once it suddenly penetrates. Then the surface of all things is fine and coarse, and the whole of my heart is of great use, and there is no confusion. This is called the lattice. This is known to the best.
Chapter VI
[1] The so-called sincere one: do not deceive oneself, such as a foul smell, such as lustful. This is called self-humility. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious of his independence.
[2] It is not good for the villain to live idlely, and he goes to everything, and when he sees a gentleman, he is disgusted. Ignore its badness, but focus on its goodness. If a man sees himself as his lungs and liver, what good will he be? This is said to be honest in the middle, and form in the outside. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious of his independence.
[3] Zeng Zi said, "Ten eyes see, ten hands point, it is strict." γ

[2] Absent-mindedness, blindness, hearing but not hearing, eating without knowing what it tastes like.
[3] This is called self-cultivation in the right heart.
The seven chapters of the right biography explain the righteous heart and self-cultivation.
Chapter VIII
[1] The so-called Qi family is cultivating his body: people are loved and discouraged. It is despised and refuted. It is revered and revered. It is sad and discreet. It is lazy and unruly. Therefore, those who know their evil and know their beauty while evil are rare in the world.
[2] Therefore, there is a proverb that says, "A man does not know the evil of his son, nor the fruit of his seed." γ
[3] This means that if you don't cultivate your body, you can't join your family.
The eight chapters of the right biography, the release of self-cultivation and the family.
CHAPTER IX
[1] The so-called ruler must first unite his family: his family cannot be taught, but he who can teach others has none. Therefore, the gentleman did not leave the house, but became a teacher in the country. The filial piety is the king, the younger brother is the chief, and the merciful is the envoy.
[2] Kang said, "If you protect your child, you sincerely ask for it." Although he is not in the middle or far away, he has not learned to raise children, and then he marries.
[3] A family is benevolent, a country is benevolent, a family is benevolent, a country is prosperous, a person is greedy, and a country is in chaos. The opportunity is like this, this is said to be a word, and one person determines the country.
[4] Yao Shun is handsome in the world with benevolence, and the people follow it. The world is tyrannical, and the people obey it. What they order is contrary to their preference, and the people do not obey it. He is a gentleman who has his own self and then asks for others. There is no self, and then there is no man. What is hidden in the body and can be used to speak to all people, there is no such thing.
[5] Therefore, the rule of the country is in Qi Qi's family.
[6] Shiyun, "The peach is dying, and its leaves are verdant, and its son is home, and it is suitable for his family." It is suitable for his family, and then he can teach the people.
[7] Shiyun, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi. It is better to be a brother and a brother, and then you can teach the countrymen.

[9] This is called governing the country, in Qi Qi's family.
The nine chapters of the right biography explain the governance of the Qi family.
Chapter X
The first short, the so-called peaceful world in the rule of the country: the elderly, and the people are filial piety, the elder is long, and the people are younger, the upper is lonely, and the people are not doubled. It is also the way of a gentleman.
What is evil from above, let it be brought down. What is evil is not what is done. What is evil in the past, not in the first place. What is evil is not the first. What is evil to the right is not to be handed over to the left. What is evil is on the left, not on the right, this is the way of Yu
In the third paragraph, "Joy is only a gentleman, the father and mother of the people." "What is good for the people, and what is evil for the people." This is called the parents of the people.
The fourth paragraph of the poem: "Jiebi South Mountain, Weishi Rock Rock. He Shi Yin, the people have Erzhan. Those who have a country must not be careless. It is the world.
The fifth verse of the poem, "Yin Zhi has not lost his teacher, but he is worthy of God." The ceremonial supervisor is in Yin, and it is not easy to die. If you win the people, you will win the country, and if you lose the people, you will lose the country.
Sixth, the gentleman should be cautious first. There are virtues, there are people, there are people, there are people, there is soil, there is wealth, there is wealth, this is useful.
Seventh, the virtuous person is also the same. The rich are the end.
Eighth, the outside and the inside, fighting for the people.
Ninth, if the wealth is gathered, the people will be scattered. When the wealth is scattered, the people gather.
Tenth, it is the one who goes out of the way and the one who goes out of the way, and the one who goes in the way of the goods......
Whew, when he copied here, Ling Hao felt that his hands were also very sore, because there was no paper, he had to light the oil lamp to "pick up the lamp and fight at night", so that now it is almost three watches, and he has not gone to bed to rest.
It seems that it is not so easy to compile a masterpiece, I really don't know how the ancients did it in the past...... It's not good for me to write on paper here.
"Well, that's all for today......" Ling Hao felt that he was very tired and needed to rest.
"Rong'er, is the hot soup ready?"
"Ready, do you want to wash up now?"
"Well, very tired...... I want to rest early. β
"Then the slave maid serves the son to wash up......"
"No need, I'll do it myself, you're tired after guarding it for so long, right? β
"Yes...... The slave and maid retired. β
This girl...... I really tempt myself all the time, and fortunately I have recently practiced the "Pure Heart Method", otherwise I would have gone to bed happily by now.
"Pure Heart Method" is the Gaowu version of the "Pure Tranquility Sutra", it is a secret of refining the heart and refining the body, and it can be practiced by both men and women, Ling Hao naturally will not forget Wang Xuanqing, people who are new to the city like them, the more life-saving means and strength improvement, the better, so that no one will be afraid in the future, and there is no need to ask others to bless themselves.
If you are strong, no one will dare to bully.
The "Pure Heart Method" allows you to be in a state of cultivation at all times, although the cultivation speed is not as fast as usual, but you can cultivate anytime and anywhere......
But there is also a disadvantage, that is, you have to remove various toxins and impurities from the body every day, so you need to take a bath to clean yourself.
Besides, at this point in time, I'm afraid that Wang Xuanqing's situation is similar to his own now, huh...... If only I could go and have a look.
But he knew very well that he couldn't do this, and the Luoyi Academy Palace would send a Heavenly Seal Master to travel around ten times every night, so as not to let someone take advantage of the night to do bad things.
Therefore, at this time, Gao Rong's importance was reflected, but after practicing the "Pure Heart Method", Ling Hao found that his needs in that area were not as strong as before......
Is it because my own ideological realm has improved? This is unlikely.
I still have a normal reaction when I face women.,It's just ...... Don't seem to be as impulsive as before?
"Hmm...... The impurities seem to be getting less and less, and it should be clear after a while. Ling Hao looked at it carefully, compared to a few days ago, the impurities were indeed much less now.
