Chapter 34: The unity of knowledge and action, to conscience
"Does anyone have any other ideas?"
Meng Xingchen asked deliberately, and finally set his eyes on where Shen Ning was.
Everyone present looked at each other, but no one came forward.
The eloquence has been stated, and the average water product does not want to be embarrassed, so naturally no one performs.
So Meng Xingchen continued: "Just now, several students expressed their opinions, but everyone must have seen that Meng was not satisfied. Because in your thoughts, you can't get rid of the thoughts of saints, and Sage Kong is unparalleled, it is normal for you to behave like this, so Meng did not comment. By the way, speaking of Sage Kong, it made Meng think of the sentence in front of the academy, Lao Tzu is the first in the world, I don't know if the person who comes out of the union can be here? Seeing that he admires Lao Tzu more in Lianzhong, Meng also likes to read Lao Zhuang, so he happened to meet this person today. ”
Meng Xingchen led Shen Ning out in a roundabout way.
Many people looked at Shen Ning, Shen Ning immediately got up, bowed his hand and said, "Student Zhao Baoyu, Ziliushu, meet Mr. Meng." Shanglian was made by the students, which made Mr. smile. ”
Meng Xingchen looked at Shen Ning and praised: "A talent, handsome and free-spirited, he is really a young man!" ”
His own nephew, of course, has to boast hard.
But other people around him were talking about it, and when it came to Pengcheng's young talents, Zhao Baoyu's reputation was not small at all. One is because he is the quasi-aunt of the Li Mansion, and the other is because of the fortune-measuring proverbs of the Xuanji Daoist.
Traitors in prosperous times, traitors in troubled times, and wolves!
This evaluation is not a good word, so Zhao Baoyu is not a good reputation, but a bad reputation. Once he enters the office, he will be the first to drink, so everyone's attitude towards Zhao Baoyu is disdainful.
"Thank you, Mr. Meng, for the compliment." Shen Ning said respectfully.
Who knows, Meng Xingchen said again: "It turns out that you are Zhao Baoyu, although Meng has just arrived in Pengcheng, he has also heard that Xuanjizi has predicted your fate." Your Shanglian is heroic and uninhibited, and you want to come to learn not shallowly, and you have your own views on Confucianism? Speak up. It doesn't matter if you don't. ”
Hearing his question, Shen Ning immediately understood the reason why Meng Xingchen did this.
It seems that he wants to take this opportunity to correct his name!
Shen Ning pretended to be Zhao Baoyu, Xuan Jizi was to measure Zhao Baoyu's fate, although those proverbs were said to be Zhao Baoyu, but if the pretending thing was exposed in the future, those bad reputations would definitely be transferred to Shen Ning, and Shen Ning pretended to be someone else's business, which further corroborated the adulterous word.
Shen Ning doesn't care about reputation, as long as he is happy, who cares about the opinions of outsiders.
But as an elder, Meng Xingchen cares, so he wants to take this opportunity to create a big reputation for Shen Ning.
If Shen Ning's understanding of Confucianism is novel, then Meng Xingchen can praise him without hesitation, saying that he is the future pioneer of Confucianism and Taoism, and as the future pioneer of Confucianism and Taoism, how can he be a traitor? Confucianism will not agree at that time.
This is Meng Xingchen's good intentions, and it is also the love of protecting the calf.
Of course, Meng Xingchen was also afraid that Shen Ning would not be able to speak, so at the end of his words, he reminded Shen Ning euphemistically.
Shen Ning understood his intentions, so he raised his voice and said, "Mr. Meng, the student is indeed a little vulgar and shallow, but he is afraid that he will not speak well, so he does not dare to show ugliness. Since the gentleman asked, the student did not dare to hide it. ”
"Okay, come quickly, let me wait and hear." Meng Xingchen was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
The others were a little depressed, but they didn't expect Meng Daru to value this person so much, listening to the urging tone, curious with surprise, surprise and eagerness.
This upset the rest of the people.
Shen Ning took away the goddess of Pengcheng, and she is an outsider, and now she is so arrogant, everyone naturally hates the same enemy, and if she says it badly in the future, she will definitely ridicule it.
"I'm also curious about Zhao Gongzi's opinion!" Wang Beixuan couldn't help but say.
"That's right, I wonder if Zhao Gongzi will have any new ideas?" Xing Yu also smiled.
......
In the face of everyone's cynicism, Shen Ning definitely jumped out of the circle and didn't play with you. You are all playing with the rest of the saints, and you are the first to jump out of the circle, and you are the boss.
So Shen Ning laughed, and the laughter overpowered everyone's discussions, and then said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, in my opinion, Confucianism is our own heart, and the heart is the reason, if we want to achieve the true heart and master the Confucianism, we need to understand the reason, and the way is the unity of knowledge and action!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present frowned.
Confucianism is the original heart, the heart is the reason, and the reason is the unity of knowledge and action.
In just a few words, Shen Ning's views on Confucianism were said, and the ways and goals to achieve them were introduced. Just like Confucius's Confucianism is benevolence, and self-cultivation is also the way and goal to govern the country and level the world.
What's even more rare is that this thought has never been seen before.
For this alone, Shen Ning is far superior to Wang Beixuan and Xing Yu.
When everyone was talking, some old Confucian masters kept thinking about it, and felt more and more mysterious about Shen Ning's statement, and an old man hurriedly said: "Confucius once said: studious is close to knowledge, practice is close to benevolence, and shame is close to bravery. Knowing the three, you know so self-cultivation, know so self-cultivation, then know how to govern people; If you know how to govern people, you will know how to govern the world and the country. It is obvious to Confucius that knowledge and action are the foundation of self-cultivation and governance. However, Sage Confucius also said: A gentleman wants to be obedient to words and quick to act, so Sage Confucius is actually based on deeds, rather than the unity of knowledge and action. ”
Meng Xingchen didn't expect Shen Ning to really come to a blockbuster, he answered: "Dean Guo is right, knowledge and action are the essence of Confucianism, but the great Confucians of all dynasties believe that in terms of priority, knowledge is the first, and the importance of behavior is important. Knowing what to do, knowing what to do, has had a priority since ancient times. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongzi thought that knowledge and action were one. Can you elaborate on that? ”
Shen Ning could only bite the bullet: "In the eyes of students, knowing is the idea of doing, and doing is the work of knowing." Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge. Therefore, the unity of knowledge and action cannot be separated, they are one ontology, and the unity of knowledge and action is to conscience..."
"To conscience, to the process of both knowledge and action, seeing the father naturally knows filial piety, seeing the brother naturally knows the brother, and seeing the son into the well naturally knows compassion, this is the conscience..."
Shen Ning pieced together Wang Yangming's thoughts and took them out to bluff these old Confucian guys.
Just now Zhang Xiuer introduced the development of Confucianism and Taoism, Confucius founded Confucianism and Taoism, Meng Xun carried forward Confucianism, and with the development, Confucianism and Taoism were inherited, and they also went through integration, such as the rise and weakening of classics, the germination of science, etc., but it has never formed a more unified thought, so it cannot create its unique position and is impacted by other ideas.
The history of previous lives proves that this process, until the emergence of Confucianism, is the inheritance and development of Confucianism, because the science of science is integrated, and a relatively complete theoretical system has been established, forming a unified trend of thought, so the influence is profound and huge.
And now, Shen Ning has put forward the study of mind, which is an unprecedented new idea.
King Confucius, Meng, and Zhu, the four giants of thought in the long history of China in the previous life, Shen Ning invited the thought of learning from his heart, and the power can be imagined.
The unity of knowledge and action leads to conscience.
This is Confucianism.
In just seven words, it includes the way of Confucius and Mencius, and it is different. The more I thought about it, the more I woke up.
The dean of Yunlong Academy looked excited, and whimpered: "The unity of knowledge and action, difficult, difficult, throughout the ages, how many people can achieve the unity of knowledge and action?" ”
Today's Confucian scholars are basically the ones who know before they do, to give you the simplest example. Because Confucianism pays attention to the filial piety of the father and the son, people know this and abide by it. And the unity of knowledge and action means that when you see your father, you will naturally know filial piety, and when you see your brother, you will naturally know your brother, which is easy to say, but what if everything is like this?
See the injustice and know the righteousness!
See state affairs and know loyalty!
See the unkind and know the good!
...
How difficult it is to have a conscience.
So today Shen Ning made a big move and bluffed everyone.
And Shen Ning's heart was also happy, and he only listened to the prompt sound of the system:
"+3 pretending to be forced."
"+3 pretending to be forced."
