The choice between ancient and modern scriptures is actually a problem that people in the Han Dynasty need to face when they study.

Far away in ancient times, China was in the midst of the changes of the times, the Zhou royal family declined, the princes sat big, and the "Zhou rites" that maintained the feudal patriarchal hierarchy were greatly damaged, and the princes competed for hegemony, which led to the need for a new kind of thinking at the entire political level to support their own behavior and annotate their own morality, resulting in the intellectuals representing the interests of all classes at this time being extremely active and becoming an important social force. A prosperous situation has been formed in which hundreds of schools of thought contend.

Among them, the most influential were Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, and Moism, each of which designed a set of plans for the emerging landlord class to end the division and achieve a unified governance, which laid the foundation for the choice of social governance ideas after the Qin and Han dynasties.

It is at this point in time that the authority of the traditional culture of the Zhou Rite has been questioned and criticized, so it is appropriate to carry out transformation, in order to seek a new balance in the new national changes, and what kind of model should be adopted for the future society, which has become a huge proposition of worldwide concern, which has triggered a huge collision spark in the ideological world, which is the contention of a hundred schools.

At this time, Confucianism was not actually Confucius's name for himself, but from the Mohists. Confucius was only one of the sons at this time, and his status like the other sons did not matter about the master-slave relationship.

But since the Han Dynasty, the status of Confucianism has gradually improved, and it has gradually surpassed the other princes.

At this point, Fidive can't do anything.

It was not an emperor who chose Confucianism, but Huaxia who chose Confucianism, compared to Huang Lao's inaction, the Mohists' love and non-attack, and the Legalists' Shangfa and Ming punishment, all of which could not provide a systematic social class solution......

Therefore, Fei Qian can only make an attempt from the root of Confucianism, trying to see if he can mix some of his own ideas into this Confucian sect that has not yet been fully formed.

And this kind of attempt began with the study of modern scriptures and ancient scriptures.

Fei Qian respectfully poured a cup of hot tea for Cai Yong, then served it with both hands, and said, "Master, what is the difference between modern and ancient texts?" ”

Cai Yong glanced at Fei Qian, then picked up the tea bowl, took a few sips, put the tea bowl down, and then said slowly: "Today's Wen Wei is delirious." ”

Fei Qian knows that in fact, there are many differences between modern and ancient scriptures, but in addition to Fang Cai's admiration for Confucius and Zhou Gong, the more important thing is actually the understanding of the scriptures.

The so-called standing statue of Confucius and Zhou Gong is actually just an external performance, Cai Yong, as a scholar of the ancient scriptures, may not necessarily be the worship of King Wen of Zhou with three incense sticks in the morning and evening, but because the current scriptures have pushed Confucius to the holy throne, so the people of the ancient scriptures will pull King Wen of Zhou out to compete with him, so how to be slightly disrespectful to Confucius or the statue of Duke of Zhou as in later generations, the Han Dynasty still does not have it.

What Cai Yong said is the biggest fundamental difference between the modern scriptures and the ancient scriptures.

In fact, this so-called "weft book" is also complementary to the sanctification of Confucius, because Confucius is a sage, so what he said is definitely not ordinary words, and naturally there is another mystery in it. In order for future generations to avoid detours, Confucius secretly hid a number of "weft books" that explain the scriptures, so that later generations can understand "Confucius's subtle words". "Micro words" are hidden words, words that contain great significance but are not easy to detect.

In the Han Dynasty, the earliest appearance was not the ancient literature school, but the modern literature school, because of the Qin Dynasty, so many books were lost at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion at that time, established Chang'an Taixue, set up a doctor of the Five Classics, and taught Confucian classics. At that time, only the later version of the scriptures was called "Jinwen", and it had not yet been challenged by the ancient scriptures. Dong Zhongshu once responded to Emperor Wu's questions three times, and used the idea of the five elements of yin and yang and the unity of heaven and man to give full play to Confucianism, and transformed Confucianism into a theological theoretical system with a strong mystical color, which combined the elements of Taoism, Legalism, and Yin and Yang, and made his family speech.

But later, because when Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang was ordered to sort out and revise the old books collected in various places, and his son Liu Xin found a copy of the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography" in ancient Chinese when he assisted his father in proofreading, and felt that Zuo Qiu Ming's interpretation of the "Spring and Autumn Period" was more fair and correct.

After Liu Xiang's death, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty ordered Liu Xin to take over his father's position, and Liu Xin suggested that the imperial court list the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography", together with the "Yili", "Mao's Poems" and "Ancient Wenshangshu", which are also ancient scriptures, among the scholars.

The text on which Dong Zhongshu, who was born in the "Spring and Autumn Period", is based on "The Legend of the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period", so many people think that the left biography is a crooked way, especially for officials above the court, and it is even more verbal and written, and this incident is the first confrontation between the modern Wenjing and the ancient Wenjing.

Fei Qian said: "Reading is like drinking tea, you should know whether you are warm or cold, if you believe in books, you can have no books." As the so-called establishment of authority, and then the collapse of authority, the establishment of a persona, and then the collapse of the persona after various experiences, Fei Qian understands that as long as many things are written by people, there will inevitably be personal emotional factors, if you only know how to accept it completely, what is the difference between it and a duck?

"It is better to believe in a book than to have no book" is not an original creation of Fei Qian, but has been proposed by Mencius as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Cai Yong understood what Fei Qian meant in the blink of an eye, so he stroked his beard and said, "Ziyuan wants to attack Kong with Meng? This method ...... What is a credible book? ”

It is not that all books are not accepted, but that there is a choice to accept, so the question naturally arises, how to choose the right one, which book can really make people believe?

Fei Qian smiled, then got up and took down a stack of books from the bookshelf on the side, and then put his hands in front of Cai Yong.

Cai Yong glanced at it suspiciously: "Lianshan remnants? Then he saw the words "Cai's Collection" on the title page of the book, raised his eyebrows, and didn't say anything.

Cai Yong flipped through the several books in his hand, and then the more he looked at them, the more familiar they became, and said, "Who wrote this book?" The shape of the pen...... This ......"

Fei Qian smiled again, then took another stack of scrolls, presented them to Cai Yong, and said: "Master, this book can be said to be written by the senior sister, and it is not completely ......written by her" Of course, every word is engraved according to the font copied by Cai Yan, but because it is slightly deformed when it becomes a character mold, there is such a saying.

"Hey......" Cai Yong took it and took a look, it turned out to be a large stack of the same "Lianshan Fragments", still exactly the same, depending on the same mold, and recently Cai Yan seems to be busy writing a book of persuasion, and he doesn't have much time to repeat the copy, so he was a little puzzled, thought about it, and said, "Ziyuan...... New rubbings of this book? ”

"Master, it's not rubbing, it's made by movable type printing." Fei Qian stood up, bowed solemnly to Cai Yong, and then said, "In a few days, there should be a book of Ouyang and Xiahou." Before the summer, the six classics will be complete, and within this year, more than 100 books will be reprinted...... At that time, in the school palace, if there is any doubt, they can confirm each other, and there is no book to check! After a long time, the fake books gradually disappeared, and the true scriptures survived by themselves! In the long run, Cai's library has been passed on all over the world, and the origin of all sons has been restored. ”
