Chapter 1433 Discussion
Cai Jing arched his hand and said: "This is a book for the people of the world, the country is united in righteousness, with this book, it can be compared with the sages." ”
Su You waved his hand: "Let the Yuan Chang read it, I want you to give your opinion, so there is no need to say these words." ”
Cai Jing sorted out his thoughts and asked first: "Dare to ask Guogong, have you read the outline of "Ethics" with others?" ”
That's for sure, while Su You was sorting out his thoughts, he also kept in touch with influential figures in the country.
In this outline, he and Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu, and Zhang Fangping, who represent the older generation; Tang Yan, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zhang Dian, Han Zhongyan, Zheng Xia, and even Cheng Hao of the middle generation have all solicited their opinions.
In the younger generation, there are Huang Shang, Liu Zhengfu, Shao Bowen, Su Yuanzhen, Chao Buzhi, Bi Zhongyou, and Su Yu.
Compared with Cheng Zhu Lixue, who stood in the downstream of philosophy, leaned in the direction of philosophy from an ethical point of view, intending to find a philosophical basis for the "royal road", and finally formed a science road, the value of what Su You wanted to do is self-evident.
What Su You wants to do is to use philosophy as a foundation and ethics as a framework to explore the rules that should be followed if you want to build a near-perfect moral society.
This has broken through the scope of philosophy and traditional Confucianism, and has set its eyes on the direction of human development in the future and the development path under our feet.
Su You pushed open a window that Song Dynasty scholars had never reached.
Su You's division of this society is no longer simply based on the division of gentlemen, ministers, agriculture, industry and commerce, but for everyone who participates in social life with its common attributes.
In this division system, everyone is fulfilling their social responsibilities, assuming corresponding powers and equal obligations, and serving a system, that is, human society.
And the sum total of all the things that are conducive to the maintenance and progress of this society is morality and civilization.
And morality is affected by the degree of civilization progress, such as the Shang Dynasty pedestrian sacrifice, for the people of the Shang Dynasty, it is also their cognition of the goodness of worshiping heaven and respecting ancestors, which is their morality, which is limited by their degree of civilization.
Therefore, [Bayi Chinese Network www.81zw.xyz] the two complement each other.
And for personal morality? is limited by the "social scope"? That's the difference between people and me.
Self-cultivation is "self-cultivation"; Qi family? It is to expand the scope of "I" to the family; Rule? It is to expand the scope of "I" to the state; Flat the world is to expand the scope of "me" to the whole world.
This also includes the expansion of the social scope in cognition and the convergence of social morality in cognition.
And such an expansion and convergence? Must it be conducive to social progress, to the progress of human society? Good for everyone, or the greatest majority? The improvement of the material level and the spiritual level, otherwise the society will become an involution society with the head eating the tail, and eventually fall apart.
This is the necessity of moral existence and its core value.
Today's Great Song? Undoubtedly the country with the highest level of development of human civilization? Therefore, allowing the values, ethics, and moral outlook of the "world" to converge with the Great Song Dynasty is conducive to the common progress of all human society.
This gave the Great Song Dynasty a powerful ideological weapon in the process of development, progress, and expansion, and firmly occupied the general righteousness.
And there is one point that has not been written, that is, if the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty want to use this set of theories to develop their own country? If you enjoy the dividends brought by this theory, you will also be bound by this theory.
A person of insight in the Great Song Dynasty? The three generations of elites, of course, can see the value? For this theoretical direction of Su oil, are you amazed? To the delight of the older generation? Peer admiration? Admired by younger generations.
But these can't be said to Cai Jing, Su You showed those people his theories because he trusted their character.
For them, as long as the theory holds up and is beneficial to the majority, they naturally know how to choose.
But a gentleman can be bullied, not all people in this world are like that, out of prudence, Su You also needs the advice of a "traitor" like Cai Jing.
waved his hand: "You don't care what others think, and I don't want to influence you with other people's words, I only ask your thoughts and suggestions." ”
"Cai Jing really admires Guogong's cultivation." Cai Jing first gave Su You a salute, and then said, "Do you want to say your opinion...... It's not for nothing. ”
"Yuan Chang is here."
Cai Jing pondered it for a while and decided that it was better to say it directly, so he said: "This book uses many new words, among which the outline, the style of ordinary examples, and the traces of science are too heavy. ”
"Although science is now a prominent science, after all, it has not been adopted by the imperial court as a way to learn from scholars, and scholars have not studied it deeply enough."
"If you don't understand the "Principles", you can read "Ethics", for far-fetched people, I am afraid that they will not be able to understand it, or they will be sidelined and misinterpreted, and in the end it may be attacked."
Su You really didn't think about it in this regard, so he couldn't help asking: "......What does Yuan Chang mean?"
Cai Jing said: "Guogong, a book is a good book, that is, ...... Some...... It's ahead of time, or rather, it's not yet time for promotion. ”
Su You hesitated: "But when is the heat?" ”
Cai Jing also knocked on the coffee table, muttered for a long time, and said, "Or, let Master Sima come?" ”
Su You squirted out a sip of tea: "Can you give me some right ideas?" Don't get caught. ”
After speaking, his face sank: "What risk does Yuan Chang see?" ”
Cai Jing didn't deny it, but his words were very artistic: "Today is a promising king, restore the Tang system, and set up six ministries to divide the power, aren't these originally designed by Guogong?" ”
Su You did not deny it, but he also said it artistically: "What I do is for Jun Yaoshun." However, Yao Shun bowed hard and led by the people, his rights and interests increased, and his labor benefited greatly. This so-called crown is the one who will bear its weight. ”
Cai Jing was shocked: "This ...... This ......"
Su You asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Cai Jing took a deep breath: "Guogong, I think that the Great Song Dynasty and the scholars rule the world together, and the eight words 'crown is plus, and it must bear its weight' is enough now." ”
"The book "Ethics" is the most reasonable, but also for the future...... Development has pointed out the way. However, the ignorant people are afraid that they only think that the national prince is the people of the promotion and fighting. Jing is only afraid that the scholars will be indifferent, and the people will be inexplicable. It will only increase the disturbances, and it will not benefit the country. ”
"If this book is to be promulgated, it must be processed, erased from the excessively heavy traces of science and engineering, and start the discussion in the direction of righteousness, imitating the style of the Analects, and first inducing the recognition of the scholarly class."
"Now the treatise of the national prince is too clear, straight as a long knife and a halberd, and the ignorant people do not know that it is to protect them, but they are afraid that they will be panicked first."
Su You finally understood that he was still a latecomer's thinking, and forgot to consider the habits and acceptance of the Song people.
This book is not only for the elite, but the fundamental purpose is to popularize and sow seeds.
stroked his palms and smiled: "I understand, Yuan Chang's argument is reasonable, is it inconvenient to call it "Ethics Training"? How about it as a summary of the gossip that educates the flat pot colander behind closed doors? ”
Cai Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Su You's persuasion, and was amazed that Su You could think of such an ingenious way in a blink of an eye: "This method is wonderful, Cai Jing is fortunate to have a glimpse of the master's way first, and the master doesn't think that Cai Jing wants to be independent, so he can get it by blindly hindering it." ”
Su You only felt extremely funny in his heart at the moment.
It's not just because he just broke morality with a famous traitor in real history for a long time, and finally adopted his suggestion;
also because he thought of a book in later generations - "Zhuzi Language".
In the book "Zhu Zi's Language", many of the words are almost pure vernacular.
For example, "A man has only one heart, but if he does not surrender, what kind of person will he be?" ”
Another example is "If people's spirits are flying, and their hearts are not in their shells, they will cause harm." ”
Another example is the Analects: "Zengzi's three provinces, it seems that they can be saved at the moment, and if they are not, they will be changed." It's not that you know how to change it after the fact, but you don't know it anymore. ”
Su You didn't have much interest in Cheng Zhu Lixue, but now that he wants to promote his own thoughts, he has to imitate the compilation of questions and answers between Zhu Xi and his disciples published in the fourth year of Jingding in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is really too special......
This is not only to change other people's dishes, but also to move away the pots that other people cook, and I don't know where to complain.
But it is undeniable that such a method is the most acceptable method for the Song people today.
