Chapter 63: An Interesting Story About Confucius

In fact, "The Analects" ended a few weeks ago, that is, the last two issues of "Spring". The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info in the past two weeks, counting today and the release time of the latest issue, has been over for three weeks.

In the first two weeks of the series, Ling Xin was not in a hurry to write about the hundred schools of thought, but wrote about some interesting things that happened when Confucius traveled around the world.

Now the "Spring" including the editor-in-chief Ding Lu no longer opposes the "unpopular" articles of the "Analects", because the "unpopular" articles of the "Analects" once again exceeded their expectations, and the "Analects", which is not theoretically popular, is actually not very pleasing. However, there are also people who like the Analects, there is no good or bad article for the original, only likes and dislikes, for those who like it, this is of course a good article, and for those who don't like it, of course, it is not good.

So even though I talk all day long, if the teacher has time, it's good to write an extra chapter of "Journey to the West", don't write any "Analects". However, there is no shortage of voices in favor of the Analects, and those who can grasp the meaning of the Analects and support it even regard the Analects as a classic.

Seeing that when the end of "The Analects" was approaching, there was a call for support for the "Analects" on the Internet, and for a period of time, fans of the Analects of the Analects were everywhere, and the fans of the Analects were torn apart by other fans, and the spraying was nothing more than fans who liked the "Analects" sprayed "Fans who don't like the Analects" superficially, and "Fans who didn't like the Analects" sprayed fans of the Analects B.

Even these fans of the Analects were swiping tickets for the Analects when the Analects was coming to an end!

In fact, there is nothing strange about swiping tickets themselves, after all, if the serialization in any magazine, if it can really impress fans, there will naturally be fans who take the initiative to swipe tickets for their favorite works. And "Spring" is also, every time you buy a copy of "Spring", there will be a "popularity survey ticket", fill in your favorite work and mail it to the magazine or directly hand it over to the bookstore that bought "Spring", and in the last few days of the week, the "Spring" magazine society will make a popularity ranking according to these "popularity survey tickets". There's nothing strange about that.

But! It's for the Analects! Who is the audience for the Analects? Most of them are some young scholars or professors, scholars, etc., these people have never read "Spring", but now they only bought "Spring" for a "Analects", swiping tickets is what young people do, just imagine, everywhere you can see some old men wearing Mao suits with white beards who look like scholars, running to the bookstore and yelling, "Give Lao Tzu a hundred copies of "Spring"! The boss of the survey ticket directly helped me fill out the Analects! "How do you think about peacekeeping?

In the last few days when "The Analects" was about to end, in the popularity ranking of "Spring", "The Analects", a work that was not favored by everyone, actually rushed directly to the fifth place!

Don't underestimate this fifth place, although it is not as good as the first place "Journey to the West", and even the fourth place is short of more than one million votes, but it is "The Analects"! It's a "boring" article! Many people, including the editorial board of "Spring", think that it is not even good to be on the list, not even the last side of the list, and it was indeed dismal in the early days of "Analects", but in the later stage, more and more "high-end" readers were attracted to it, so this situation changed. You know, most of these "high-end readers" are readers of "Meditation".

It's like salt and sugar in the supermarket, although they are both things to eat, no matter how the sales of salt or sugar change, it will not affect each other. A fiction magazine like "Spring" actually robbed the readers of a literary magazine like "Meditation", so it can be said that something ridiculous happened!

The editorial department of "Spring" shook their heads and sighed that it was worthy of being a casual teacher, only Ding Lu remembered Ling Xin's delicate little face while sighing, and couldn't help but sigh again that genius is indeed a thing that makes people desperate, how many people can't reach it in a lifetime, but some people are born with it.

The first story written in the first two issues of "Spring" is the famous "Two Children's Debate Day" in another world.

The story tells that Confucius went on a study tour in the East, and on the way he met two children arguing, so he asked them the reason for the argument.

A child said, "I think the sun is close to people when it first rises, but far away at noon." ”

Another child thinks that the sun is far away when it first rises and close at noon.

A child said, "Isn't it as big as a car canopy when the sun first rises, and as small as a pan at noon?" ”

Another child said, "Isn't it cool and slightly chilly when the sun comes out, and when it comes to noon, it's like putting your hand in hot water. ”

Confucius listened and could not judge which of them was right and who was wrong,

The two children laughed and said, "Who said you were very knowledgeable?" ”

…………

This small incident of Confucius traveling around the world also illustrates many truths, one knows is known, and one does not know is not known, and it is also known.

Second, we should learn from the spirit of the ancients who were good at using their brains and boldly questioning in order to understand nature and explore the truth, as well as Confucius's modest and cautious scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts, and understand the truth that learning is endless.

Looking at the problem from three sides will not lead to a conclusion, and it also tells us to look at things from a comprehensive perspective.

Compared with the pure "reasoning" in the "Analects", the article "Two Children's Debate Day" is much more interesting, and many readers have reported that if the teacher has to write these big truths, then write more things like "Two Children's Debate Day" that will mix the truth into interesting stories, so that it will not make people feel bored.

Of course, these words are also in the fan stickers of some of the teachers of "Qiandu Happy", but as soon as these words appear, it will immediately lead to a war, a tearing war between fans of "The Analalects" and fans who don't like "The Analects......

Of course, as a member of the fans of the same casual teacher, they are also restrained, so most of them end up unable to convince each other.

That's why Dong Xiaohua is so unlucky, because in the past few days, the fans of the teacher have been holding back the fire in their stomachs, and they are embarrassed to let go of the spray on "their own people", and now the "muzzle of the gun is unanimous to the outside", it would be strange if she didn't spray to death, and some even scolded the greetings......

In fact, Ling Xin also knew that it would be better to put the truth in a short story, but she couldn't help it, although in the eyes of others, "Confucianism" and "Analects" were all created by the teacher. But only Ling Xin knows that she is just a person who "silently writes" some exchanged articles, and there is no one in the system, and it is impossible for Ling Xin to create out of thin air, and she will not make it up, because she feels that this can be regarded as tampering with history, which is very disrespectful to those great people.
