Chapter 371: Wonderful Explanations
After hearing Su Wen's words, the tall and thin middle-aged man immediately became interested, and asked with a curious face: "Miss Hua, isn't this sentence so understood?" For so many years, most people have thought so. ”
Seeing him ask, Su Wen immediately said with a straight face: "After reading the book for so many years, we should have already understood a truth - the conventional customs may not be correct. For example, women now have children at the latest at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but in reality this is a mistake. Because of this wrong practice, many women have died in childbirth. ”
Hearing these resounding words, everyone present showed shocked expressions. They have seen a lot of the world, but they have never seen a young girl who openly talks about women's childbirth like Su Wen.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Su Wen just smiled secretly, and then continued: "Many of you here have read the book of sages, and I believe that the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" must have read it. It is clearly written on it that a woman's body can reach its best state after thirty-seven, and it is the best age to have children at that time. ”
After listening to her explanation, the tall and thin middle-aged man answered with some embarrassment: "What Miss Hua said is very true, and it is indeed recorded in the "Neijing". From this point of view, the conventional customs are not necessarily correct. ”
Seeing that the tall and thin middle-aged man recognized his point of view, Su Wen continued to say with a straight face: "In the same way, even if the sentence in the Analects has been interpreted like that by everyone for a long time, it may not be able to prove that it is necessarily correct. Just imagine, Confucius's mother was also a woman. If that's what Confucius really meant. Isn't it counted with his own mother? ”
Hearing her words, the tall and thin middle-aged man was a little speechless for a while. He couldn't say that Confucius just counted his mother into it, wouldn't that be slandering the saint for not respecting filial piety?
Seeing the tall and thin middle-aged man with a speechless face, Su Wen secretly felt proud in his heart. She had long been unhappy with this sentence in the Analects, and now that she had such a God-given opportunity, of course she had to reinterpret it. Attacking the shield with the spear of the other, she first wants to use the theory of Confucius to deny the discrimination against women in this sentence.
After struggling for a moment, the tall and thin middle-aged man finally came back to his senses, and asked with a serious face: "If the conventional understanding is wrong, what should the correct explanation be?" ”
Listened to his inquiry. Su Wen immediately had a confident smile on his face. Then he said unhurriedly: "Anyone who has read through the Analects should understand that the word 'female' is most used in the Analects to mean you or you. From this, it can be inferred that the word 'female' in this sentence also means this nine times out of ten. ”
Listening to her point of view, the tall and thin middle-aged man immediately questioned him: "Miss Hua." You come to such a conclusion. Is there any basis for this? If any. Please also introduce it so that we can be convinced. ”
When Su Wen heard this, he immediately asked with confidence: "As we all know. This sentence is from a passage written by Confucius in response to a question from his disciples. If you bring in the meaning that people are accustomed to understanding, it will seem out of place in the whole paragraph. On the other hand, if you bring in what I mean, the whole text will be very smooth, and there will be no more obscurity. ”
Hearing this, the faces of the scholars present showed thoughtful looks, and they couldn't help but bring the meaning of what Su Wen said into the original text, wanting to see if the facts were as she said.
According to the understanding put forward by Su Wen, everyone re-sorted out the original text, and then was pleasantly surprised to find that it could really be connected smoothly. They re-translated the original text, and naturally came up with a meaning that was diametrically opposed to their habitual interpretation. They were able to gain new insights from reading the Analects for decades, and their faces all showed excitement.
After making a new discovery, everyone once again revisited the old meaning. They didn't think it before, but now they finally found the original interpretation unreasonable, obviously unable to connect with the context.
After this toss, most of the people present were convinced. The ability to read meanings that others can't read, isn't this a skill that anyone can have? They all cast eager glances at Su Wen, and some of them were even full of star-chasing fanaticism. Just seeing their posture, people couldn't help but pinch Su Wen in a cold sweat.
No matter what the era, avid fans are a terrifying creature. When it comes to idols, they all become irrational.
Seeing the enthusiastic response of the fans in the audience, Su Wen was a little shocked. Fortunately, she came from a society with an exceptionally developed entertainment industry, and she was not intimidated by this kind of battle. How to calm down the enthusiastic fans, she felt that she should say something so that she could focus everyone's attention.
Coughing lightly, Su Wen said with a straight face: "In Su Wen's opinion, this sentence is actually Confucius praising his own students." It probably means that it is difficult for Confucius's students to get along with the villains. ”
After listening to her confident explanation, the tall and thin middle-aged man could only nod yes. He originally wanted to embarrass Su Q, but unexpectedly led to such a novel interpretation. If it is interpreted in this sense, the woman can no longer be treated as a villain, but I don't know if this is good or bad?
Seeing the tall and thin middle-aged man nodding, Su Wen knew that the test of this game was successfully passed. What she worries about the most is this game, and now that she has successfully passed the test, then there is nothing to worry about next.
After the examination, the next question is to express the opinions of the remaining four judges. When they heard such a novel theory, they were already eager to try it out, and they were eager to express their views directly. Now that they have finally waited for the opportunity, they will not miss it. While the perception is still in their hearts, they can use it to exchange ideas with their peers.
With the advantage of his identity, Chen Dequan was the first to speak, and coughed lightly: "After reading the Analects for so many years, I have not understood the true meaning of this sentence until today. ”
At this point, Chen Dequan paused slightly, and then continued to say with a satisfied face: "As Su Wen said, Confucius is a saint who is pure and filial, how can he compare his mother with a villain? It can be seen that our understanding for so long has indeed been wrong, and now we have finally found the root cause. ”
Seeing Chen Dequan justifying his name, Su Wen was extremely moved. To justify a new interpretation of the Analects, she knew how much risk Chen had taken.
Seeing Su Wen's grateful gaze, Chen Dequan couldn't help but smile, and then continued: "You can have such insight at a young age, and Su Wen is really a material that can be made." I hope that you will continue to work your knowledge in the future, and you will not waste such a rare talent. With such an excellent junior as you, we can be regarded as successors in the literary world. ”
For the high evaluation given by Chen Dequan, the readers present had to express their approval. A person who can write poetry and have extraordinary insight, even if it is a girl, they cannot deny the amazing talent she has shown.
After Chen Dequan finished expressing his opinion, it was the turn of the other three judges. Like Chen Dequan, they all highly affirmed Su Wen's talent. Whether it is for the sake of Chen Dequan and Hong Qian's face, or for the talent shown by Su Wen, their praise is indispensable.
After commenting on Su Wen's performance, it was finally someone else's turn. The outstanding performance of the Su Q is there, and the questions and answers of the remaining few seem to be a little unfazed.
After a while, it was finally Han Bingqing's turn to come to the stage to answer. She had just seen Su Wen's performance, and she was holding her breath in her heart, planning to perform with all her strength. Unfortunately, her thoughts were ultimately disappointed. I don't know if it's for her good or if it's not pleasing to her eyes, the judge asks a decent question, so that she doesn't have much room to play at all.
In desperation, Han Bingqing had no choice but to answer this question by gritting his teeth secretly. Limited by the question itself, her answer can only be regarded as decent, and she does not have such a brilliant performance as Su Wen.
Faced with such a reality, although Han Bingqing was unwilling in his heart, he could only accept it helplessly. She will receive such a question, to put it bluntly, she can't blame others, she can only blame his father for loving his daughter. In order to ensure that she was safe, her prime minister's father deliberately spent a lot of money to bribe a southern judge and asked her to release water in the second game.
If Su Wen's performance is average, such an arrangement is undoubtedly the safest choice. It's a pity that Su asked and answered the limelight, directly widening the distance between the two sides, and this arrangement is obviously a bit out of place.
Before Han Bingqing came to power, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, feeling that the bribed southern judge would definitely improvise and ask a rather difficult question. In this way, she can publish an ingenious solution that will compete with Su Wen. Even if she can't completely suppress Su Wen's limelight, she won't be left too far behind.
I never thought that the bribed Southern judge turned out to be a dead brain. The situation on the field has changed, and he is still seeking to be safe, asking a painless question.
Faced with such a reality, Han Bingqing was speechless to the extreme. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she might have gone crazy a long time ago. No wonder the bribed judge can only be a celebrity, and there is no way to enter the court as an official. With such adaptability, if he really entered the imperial court, it is estimated that he would be resigned and returned to his hometown in less than a year.
suffered two defeats in a row, Han Bingqing secretly hated in his heart, but he could only put all his bets on the third game. The third game is a mutual examination, and she is confident that she will be able to defeat Suwen. (To be continued......)
