Chapter 1289: Sinology

Fei Qian stood in the peach forest, looking at the peach tree in front of him.

The peach blossoms on the peach mountain are about to bloom again.

The peach tree is a deciduous tree, which is bare every winter, like a lifeless dead tree, and when it warms up in spring, the flower bones and young leaves emerge from the tips of the branches, and then when the flowers bloom, the peach blossoms are even more lush than the leaves, and the trees are full of red and green leaves.

"Senior sister, why do you think the master reads, and why is he willing to teach people to learn?" Fei Qian looked at the peach blossom bud and said without looking back.

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Fei Qian to come here and ask such a sentence.

"I've heard a saying before, it's called teaching...... Well, give people peach blossoms, and leave a lingering fragrance in your hands......" Fei Qian picked a branch of peach blossoms that bloomed early, handed it to Cai Yan and said, "I think, the master must be the same." ”

Cai Yan subconsciously took over the peach blossom branch, and seemed to remember some things about Cai Yong before his death, and his eyes were covered with a layer of water vapor again, like fine dew stained with peach blossom petals.

"What about you? Senior sister, why are you studying? Fei Qian did not directly persuade him, but asked a second question.

"Me?" Cai Yan raised his head.

Fei Qian nodded: "Well, Senior Sister is also a reader...... Well, I think if it is in this school palace, including me, if it is really about the word reading, I am afraid that the senior sister is unsurpassed. However, I wonder why my sister wants to study? ”

"Why?" Cai Yan was a little distracted, and after being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I...... I don't know ......."

Fei Qian was also silent for a while.

"What about these people?" Fei Qian pointed to the school palace halfway up the mountain and said, "So what are these people studying for?" ”

Cai Yan also looked at the school palace, and stopped talking.

In fact, this problem was considered by Fei Qian as early as when he was under Lushan.

Later generations basically followed the crowd when they read books. It's not that there are any drawbacks in the education system of later generations, but at the beginning, the sentence hanging on the wall already made the initial foundation seem a little empty.

At that time, the teacher pointed to the wall and knocked on the blackboard and said, look, look, this is the goal of your reading, and then the children sitting below all nodded with serious faces.

After returning home, the parents glared and said, "Your fucking bear baby is not studying for your parents!" Not for anyone else! It's for your future job and for you to have a good future!

Although it is different from what the teacher said, the children mostly nod their heads and deal with their parents seriously, but in fact, they have a pair of more confused eyes, and most of them are eager not to read, not to do the homework that they have not forgotten, not to listen to those headache questions, but only to dig holes in the sand, catch loaches by the river, and play marbles with friends......

What do you do with reading?

Most of the children who have just received their education in later generations have no idea.

Around him or them, although their appearance is a little different, most of them wear the same school uniform, at the same time every day, and take the same classes, although their parents and family conditions are different, but there is no big gap between the so-called aristocratic schools, so as a child, they basically don't feel it.

Anyway, whether you read or not, you will be upgraded, and you will go up all the way from elementary school to junior high school, but at that time, it is often a little late, and it coincides with the rebellious period, hehe......

In the Han Dynasty, a scholar is a scholar, and the class gap is becoming more and more obvious in the future, and the scholar can see the official and not worship, and after being promoted, he can start to enjoy privileges when he becomes a showman, and then he reads, and then he takes the exam to upgrade, and then he has more privileges......

For the ordinary people of the later feudal dynasties, reading can change the class, which even children understand, and reading can eat and dress well. Not reading is a mud leg without any privileges.

Although people who may study purely for their personal status and power may not be as ambitious and make such outstanding contributions as those who study for the nation and the country, there is not much difference in the thirst for knowledge, and even some corrupt officials in history are also outstanding if they are purely from a literary point of view.

When a person only faces his own desires, he will not be tempted by desires and go astray.

Cai Yan's eyes flowed. "Then the general ......"

"Don't call me a general, call me a junior brother." Cai Yan turned his gaze and just said a beginning, but was interrupted by Fei Qian.

Cai Yan's eyes widened a little, flashed twice, hesitated, and finally changed his words: "...... Brother, why are you studying? ”

"I'm here to make reading accessible to more people." Fei Qian smiled faintly, almost without any interval, and said directly, as if this question had been considered for a long time, "Reading can be very complicated or very simple, but a person, a Chinese person, can't help but read." Since Cangjie, books have been the civilization of China. If you don't study, how can you be worthy of the ancestors who have worked hard to pass on the flame of civilization? ”

"And there is a very interesting place about reading...... Fei Qian turned around and pointed to the peach blossom in Cai Yan's hand, and said, "Most of the things in the world are getting less and less, such as this peach blossom, I gave it to you, and I don't have it in my hand, but only reading is different, no one in the world will lose the content of that part of the book in their hearts because there is one more person who understands the book, as long as it is continuously inherited, this is the only thing that can be added endlessly......"

A word, a book, does not lose its original role because there are more people who read it, and it can still be read and understood by the next person.

Cai Yan was a little stunned.

"However, scholars can't just be Confucian ......," Fei Qian continued, "Although there are many Confucian classics now, my senior sister also knows that there are actually many classics that were not Confucian ...... at the beginning."

How so?

Confucianism certainly has such and such advantages, but this is the only thing that is not very good, and it refuses to face up to its own shortcomings, and just blindly covers up and embellishments. How else to say that the later generations of Stick Country inherited this drawback of Confucianism, and seeing everything is like fiddling it in the name of its own family.

"Pre-Qin learning, Taoism and Confucianism, Confucianism is the last seat. And now Taoism has escaped the world, Legalism has disappeared, and the Mohists have retreated, and only Confucianism is the only ......one that survives," Fei Qian said, "and at present, the current literature and scriptures are tampering with right and wrong, compiling sacred words, ancient scriptures, taking words out of context, and dividing theology, each of which is constantly attacking...... This is not a blessing for Confucianism, but a disaster for Confucianism......"

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many schools, but they were dominated by Taoism and Confucianism.

The so-called Legalist study of criminal names only looks at the opposite, and carries out absolute rule and exploitation and oppression on the people, and this doctrine also accumulates the dissatisfaction of the people to the peak when Qin II travels, and the old nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period take the lead, so the Qin Dynasty was quickly overthrown by uprisings in various places.

However, the Mohists, who only looked at the unification side, abandoned the fighting nature, and tried to persuade the two naturally hostile classes to practice the same harmony and love on the same nature, such a learning naturally could not withstand the crushing of the ruling class, and finally escaped and almost perished.

Confucianism is different from Daomo, it is best at painting right and wrong, advocating the use of etiquette to control the exploitation of ordinary people, so as to ease the struggle between classes, and at the same time advocating benevolence and love for things, virtue and probation, so as to expand the identity between classes, which is more in line with the actual needs of the current feudal society, and naturally became the preferred political guidance doctrine in the Han Dynasty.

Of course, there are also many Confucians who are true Confucians who are loyal to Confucianism, who often make remarks on behalf of the people to complain about their sufferings and redress their grievances, and also often do deeds for the people to eliminate disasters and disasters, and even go so far as to break their homes and kill themselves to give direct advice to the monarch and demand political improvement.

For example, the disaster of the party, at the beginning, some people, such as Li Ying, felt that the eunuchs caused the country and the government to be chaotic, and then they rose up to resist, but later it expanded, and then it was crooked......

"Senior sister, I think, there is one thing in this world, I'm afraid there is no more suitable thing to do than you......" Fei Qian looked up at the sky and said, "I don't know if Senior Sister is willing to listen to it?" ”

Cai Yan's eyes flickered a few times, his long eyelashes drooped down, and he whispered, "...... What...... What's the matter? ”

"Positive sources while reserving differences, removing the false and retaining the true." Fei Qian said slowly, "There are too many scriptures in the world that have been tampered with, forgotten, and devoured......"

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know what kind of emotion was surging in his heart, and after a while, he said slowly: "Senior brother, is this going to reorganize Confucianism?" ”

Fei Qian laughed, but shook his head and said: "Confucianism regards its own knowledge as its life, and it is difficult for me to criticize right and wrong?" If it is spread out, the Confucian people in the world will not criticize it? ”

After two or three hundred years of tireless indoctrination by Confucianism, Confucius has successfully evolved into a saint, and then these Confucian children can raise their heads and proudly call themselves saints.

What would happen in the Han Dynasty if you insult the ancestors of a family? Even if he was killed by the people of this family on the spot, the government would not punish this person for murder.

Therefore, Fei Qian's slander or dissatisfaction with Confucius, or the various later remarks that he wanted to surpass Confucius, was actually undesirable in the Han Dynasty, because that was not only against Confucius alone, but also against the foundation of the clan worship hidden in the entire world of scholars, and the so-called later generations were more accustomed to calling it Confucianism, which is the reason.

Cai Yan frowned two delicate brows: "That...... What exactly does it mean to be a junior brother? ”

"It's like the Xiping Stone Sutra!" Fei Qian said with a smile, "Just make another Pingyang Stone Sutra!" It's just that the senior sister can indicate in it that a certain scripture is found in a certain book, and it is what someone said......"

Cai Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head and said, "This ...... Does the younger brother mean to re-study the learning of each family? Revival of the Ink Method? I'm afraid there will be more controversy in this way......"

Fei Qian smiled slightly and said, "Why do you use the word 'home'? The world is all Han people, so the world's knowledge is 'Sinology'! "If you want to improve within the original framework, there are too many things that need to be modified and touched, so you can simply enlarge it, but this time, Feiqian does not want to have the concept of "home" anymore, but puts it on the status of the whole of China from the beginning.

It's like dividing the cake, at the beginning there was only such a small piece, everyone naturally quarreled, the more this person, the less that person, and now the cake is bigger, even if the original proportion is maintained, it is bigger than the original!

"Sinology?" Cai Yan muttered and repeated, "Can ...... But I'm just a woman......"

"What about women?" Fei Qian looked at Cai Yan seriously and said: "Senior sister, some people look at you, but they only see your appearance, and when your face is not there, they will disdain and abandon you, or they only want to use your body to give birth to a child to inherit the bloodline, if you give birth to a daughter or are infertile, they will be insulted in every way......"

"And in my eyes, what I see is the Wenhua ...... in the sky" Fei Qian said slowly, there seemed to be a hidden magic in his words, which made Cai Yan's face appear a faint flush, "Senior sister, you have been reading scriptures since you were a child, not to mention the books in the master's mansion, even the books in Biyong, Dongguan, and Lantai are also read thoroughly!" What's more, the senior sister has the ability to never forget, and at least nearly half of the books of the whole Han are stored in the senior sister! Who dares to underestimate Senior Sister! Let him come over! ”

"Poof!" Cai Yan couldn't help it after all, and laughed, for a while she was really more delicate than the peach blossoms.

Fei Qian said most of the truth.

Fei Qian also likes Cai Yan, but it doesn't mean that Fei Qian must include Cai Yan in the harem.

It is the natural instinct of every adult male to like a beautiful and attractive woman, but it does not mean that when you see such a woman, you have to use your lower body instead of your brain to think.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be like many people in later generations who knew that it might be fake, but were willing to spend more money to have a so-called female college student female star title to serve, as if this could mean that he had played with all female college students and female stars......

Cai Yan was in the Han Dynasty, can his value really only be used to vent his desires and then give birth to an heir?

In history, Cai Yan was robbed to the Xiongnu for 12 years, and was treated as a female slave, so it was naturally impossible to contact any books, and it was impossible to continue to read to her, every day like ordinary Hun women, she had to milk sheep, shear sheep, cut grass, etc., in this case, after Cao Cao ransomed it with gold, he could still remember more than 400 books he had read, and there was still no mistake or omission in writing it silently!

Twelve years!

Most people in later generations have gone through 12 years of education, and they still have the opportunity to continue to have access to books, as well as the opportunity to use knowledge and repeat memorization, but who can still remember the texts that were memorized 12 years ago? Not to mention that it can be written verbatim by silent.

Not to mention others, most of the texts that Fei Qian memorized in elementary school have now been returned to the teacher.

Such a Cai Yan is standing here alive, this is in the Han Dynasty, in the Han Dynasty, when the illiteracy rate was almost 99%, and many people only thought about her as a ......

"Use money, I give, employ, I transfer, if you feel that male clerks are inconvenient, I will transfer women!" Fei Qian said, "In the past, there were female scholars, female histories, and female riders, so why not have one more female doctor today?" If it is the Caimen father and daughter two stone scriptures, it must be passed down through the ages! ”

In primitive societies, women were often engaged in gathering, breeding, etc., while men were often engaged in fields and hunting. After that, the division of labor between men and women weaving, and men and women gradually formed. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the division of labor between men and women was not very clear, and the status of women was not reduced too much, and even in the history books, I saw a lot of women who left their names, but the later they were, because of some reasons, the more rare, and gradually evolved from "the difference between men and women" to "the difference between the status of men and women". Under the oppression of Confucianism, women gradually lost themselves and became subordinate, and then formed the "righteousness of three subordination". It was even written in black and white in the "Book of Rites", "Women, those who follow people." The young follow the father and brother, marry the husband, and the husband dies from the son. ”

Cai Yan looked at Fei Qian in a daze, the original faint sadness on his face gradually disappeared, the ruddy color resurfaced, and his body gradually straightened, and after half a sound, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said proudly: "Okay!" Since my junior brother said so, I'll give it a try! ”
