Chapter 42: The Confucianism and Taoism Debate
"Ah Yuan's ambition lies in the love of not losing his life in this life!"
Xu You's body shook violently, looking at the green silk cloth barrier, his eyes were full of incredible surprise, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said: "He is the one who is right, and he will not lose his life!" Sanniang originally believed in Zhuangzi ......"
This sentence is the essence and foundation of Zhuangzi's thought, and to explain it simply, the so-called righteous path is the true feeling of returning to the original heart and conforming to nature.
Yuan Qingqi smiled and asked, "So what?" The world is prosperous in metaphysics, how can you not read Zhuangzi when you talk about Xuanzi? ”
"It's not that it can't, it's just that Chenjun Yuan's family is a Confucian sect in the world, and I heard that Yuan Gong is strict in governing the family, and he also takes the Five Classics and Six Arts as the first priority, so it's a bit ...... Well, it's a little weird......" Xu You said with a wry smile.
"In the Confucian scriptures, there is no saying that you can't read Zhuangzi."
Yuan Qingqi's tone was brisk, like an early morning breeze blowing through the grass all over the ground, inadvertently blowing off the dew on the emerald green leaves, which sounded really refreshing.
Xu You was a little funny, but he didn't expect Yuan Qingqi to be good at sophistry, and if he really read Zhuangzi, he immediately returned his body with his human way, and said: "Some things don't need to be said too clearly, Mencius and Zhuangzi are in the same era, one is from Lu and the other is from Song, and they are not far apart, but why is there no mention of Zhuangzi in Mencius's writings?" There is never a record of the two meeting in the classics that have been handed down? They are all saints who argue with their tongues and claim to be the heroes of the Warring States, but they don't get along with each other when they die of old age, which can only show one problem, that is, the two don't like each other. In this case, as a Confucian, you should not read Zhuangzi's books. ”
"Shichiro's words are wrong!"
Yuan Qingqi changed his title, from the more distant "Xu Lang" to the closer "Qi Lang", and learned the tone of his speech when he refuted himself just now, and said: "Mencius draws from the world, to correct people's hearts, stop heresies, distance from the other side, prostitute words, from dozens of cars, hundreds of followers, and turn to the princes, this is the ambition pursued by those who enter the world." Zhuangzi is different, he lives a life of clothes and shoes, embarrassed weaving shoes, Huang Yu, a hermit born without dispute, pursuing inner peace and natural inaction. As for what you said about the benefits of tongue debate, perhaps Mencius was so fond of teaching others, but Zhuangzi's "Theory of Things" has already stated his position, that is, there is no word in the great debate, and the debate is actually invincible! ”
Zhuangzi is indeed not a person who loves debate, and he debates with others because others are the first to make trouble, such as the debate with Hui Shi in "The Getaway" and the debate with Cao Shang in "Lie Yukou". If you only start from this perspective, you can't refute Yuan Qingqi.
Xu You suddenly had a feeling of fighting with his girlfriend in his previous life, the only difference may be that the fighting in his previous life was just for fighting, but in this era, the dispute about Confucianism and Taoism is a collision of ideas and beliefs, involving all aspects of politics, military, and people's livelihood, and it must not be taken lightly!
However, he will understand why Yuan Qingqi ordered Shui Xi to pour tea, and it seems that he has made up his mind from the beginning to argue, or to use people's favorite words nowadays, this kind of argument is also called "Qing Tan".
"Zhuangzi just doesn't like to debate in person, but he doesn't really like debate, otherwise why would he criticize Confucius's remarks and opinions many times in the book, and describe him as all kinds of strange things?" That is, to split the personality of Confucius, according to the needs of Zhuangzi, to play different roles, "sometimes Confucius is exalted to the top, but only to show his correctness and foresight; Sometimes Confucius was placed in a lower position than him, and he was only about the same as Lao Dan and Guan Yin, and he belittled his status and achievements; Sometimes he was very merciful, and finally let Confucius appear as his true face, but he was often taught a lesson by the old man with his head and face; What's more, he even scolded Confucianism for sending graves with poetry and ceremonies, and who was the great Confucian who stood outside the tomb and commanded the tomb robbery, who was not referring to Confucius? ”
As someone who grew up in another time and space, Xu You is a typical atheist and has no strong religious beliefs, and the reason why he knows a lot about Confucianism and Taoism is just the instinct of a history buff. So don't look at him standing on the position of Confucianism and arguing with Yuan Qingqi about Taoism, in fact, deep down, he may not feel that such an argument has any sacredness, just follow the other party's words and talk about it!
If Yuan Qingqi had changed his stance at this moment and become a supporter of Confucianism, then Xu You would not mind defecting to the Taoist side, learning from Zhuangzi's oral work, and taking advantage of his tongue argument.
"This is Zhuangzi's tautology, from the Yellow Emperor, Lao Dan to Confucius, and those characters who are imaginary, they are just tools he uses to promote the truth and suppress the current theory." Yuan Qingqi sneered and said: "How can you be said by Qilang like this, but you have become a tricky and mean villain......"
Although Xu You couldn't see her appearance at this time, a picture of a beautiful woman with a thin anger and graceful demeanor automatically appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but want to lift the barrier and take a look at this woman who even the famous monk Tan Qian never forgot how "dazzling and beautiful".
However, his body still didn't move a bit!
……
As for the differences between Confucianism and Taoism, we really have to debate it, and we can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights. But in the final analysis, under the guidance of the heart of right and wrong, Confucianism determined the fundamental order of the world - benevolence, righteousness and morality, and then expanded and cultivated it through artificial means such as dedication, knowledge, heart, and cultivation, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of everyone abiding by benevolence, righteousness and morality.
Taoism believes that once people have a heart of right and wrong, they will deviate from the Tao, which is the so-called "de-sex and follow the heart", the more forcibly implement governance and education, the more counterproductive, so that the world will fall into greater chaos, so it is proposed to return to nature and let nature, and realize the realm of Tao from nature.
One wants to actively establish order for the world, and the other wants the world not to change their nature because of any external factors, which seems to be completely irreconcilable, and naturally no one can convince anyone!
"Let's go back to the benevolence and righteousness that Qilang just mentioned," Yuan Qingqi sighed lightly: "Since the three generations below, the world has been surging, the etiquette has collapsed, and Confucianism has been inspired by benevolence and righteousness, roaring and running, but this is exactly 'exchanging benevolence and righteousness', which has caused turmoil since the Qin and Han dynasties, and can no longer reproduce the prosperity of the Qingming Dynasty of the three generations." The villain was martyred with his body, the scholar was martyred with his body, the doctor was martyred with his family, and the saint was martyred with his body. How hypocritical is it to martyr a bird with a pearl? ”
Xu You was a little surprised that Yuan Qingqi's insight was so penetrating, he really knew what it was and why it was true, he read the essence of Taoism thoroughly, and was about to answer, but he couldn't help but listen to her words and asked, "Does Qilang know that King Hengyang is coming to Jinling to live?" ”
Belch?
This is not the rhythm of the routine, everyone is arguing with dry mouths, you have made a summary statement, you have to give me a chance to summarize. However, being unreasonable is a girl's prerogative, Xu You still has this demeanor, nodded and said, "When I said goodbye to Yuan Gong in the morning, I heard him mention it. ”
"That Qilang can know that when the king of Hengyang comes, he is likely to propose to his father."
Xu You couldn't figure out Yuan Qingqi's meaning for a while, and said with a smile: "The King of Hengyang has a noble identity and is elegant and elegant, and he is indeed a good match for Sanniang!" ”
Yuan Qingqi chuckled again, not annoyed, not even shy, and said, "Has Qilang ever had a relationship with King Hengyang?" Otherwise, how do you know that this person is elegant? ”
"Not really, it's just hearsay."
"So Qilang must not know that the princess of King Hengyang was originally the daughter of the Huiji He family, and her body has always been healthy, but after only marrying for a year, she died with a withered face......
Xu You frowned and said, "The meaning of Sanniang's words, could it be that there is something else in this matter?" ”
"This matter is already secret, and it involves the inner government, so not many people know about it. Hengyang Wang Anxiu is far from a good man, and there are many prostitutes in the house, among which there is one named Qi Xiaoji, who is the most favored, and everyone often does not wear silk threads in the house, and openly prostitutes in the forest. Although the He girl was not jealous, she couldn't stand the behavior of King Hengyang, so she admonished her many times, and said that she would chase Xiao Ji out of the house. ”
Yuan Qingqi's tone was calm, without the slightest feeling, and it would not make people think of lewd things. Although this era is very popular, it is not something that ordinary women can do when talking about such things with strange men.
Qi Xiaoji naturally would not be restrained, and there was a lot of slander in front of An Xiuyuan. Later, one day, An Xiuyuan drank too much wine and did things with Qi Xiaoji and others, but he happened to be bumped into by the He girl, and his words were a little angry, which caused An Xiuyuan to be furious, and Qi Xiaoji and other prostitutes raped her in public...... The He girl came from the family of Shili hairpins, how could she stand this insult, and died hanging from the beam that night. Afterwards, in order to cover up the scandal, An Xiuyuan killed all the prostitutes and slaves present that day, only Qi Xiaoji was able to save a life because of her grace, but she could no longer stay in the palace, took the money rewarded, and since then she has been in the people without a trace. ”
Xu You suddenly realized, no wonder Yuan Jie would not hesitate to refuse An Xiuyuan's proposal. I originally thought it was for the rumor between him and Princess Haiyan, but when I thought about it carefully, the rumor was just a rumor after all, and with Yuanjie's city government, it was not enough to avoid a prince who was a saint and a prince because of an unverifiable rumor, and there must be a deeper reason for it.
After listening to Yuan Qingqi's words, he knew that An Xiuyuan had done such lawless deeds. In the Chu State, a good man is nothing, and it is not even a disadvantage, but a good man is so good that even the girls of the He family dare to abuse it so much, resulting in a thin face, which is really hopeless! Yuan Jie, because of the tragic experience of the He family's daughter, would rather marry the Xu family, a local family in Jiangdong that he has always looked down on, than break off the idea of An Xiuyuan!
However, the person who killed his wife because of child prostitution is not unique. Xu You reads "The Book of Jin? Shi Jilong's Record", there is such a record in it: "Shi Jilong is the wife of General Guo Rongmei. Ji Long bewitched the Youyu Zheng Cherry and killed the Guo family, and even accepted the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, and the cherry killed her. "It is also a dispute between a wife and a prostitute, Shi Hu actually killed two wives in a row, and these two wives are not ordinary people, one is the sister of Guo Rong, the general of the Guo family in Fenyang, and the other is the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe.
The prosperity of men's style is so much!
"Since everyone else is dead, and Qi Xiaoji is nowhere to be found, An Xiuyuan will definitely keep his mouth shut, and will never mention this matter again, let alone the He family. is so secretive, how did Yuan Gong find out the details of this matter? ”
"The answer to this question involves a lot of complicated things, and I don't want to lie to Shichiro with nonsense, so it's better not to answer!"
Xu You didn't ask, and pondered: "Presumably, Yuan Gong sent a competent person to investigate, but the information sent by the person was not seen with his own eyes, and it may not all be ......true."
Yuan Qingqi's tone suddenly became playful again, and said, "This is reasonable, no, it is very reasonable." For example, the information about you is three feet high on the desk, but almost none of it is correct...... can not only lay out and kill, but also write with a pen, and it is also a chapter, brilliant writing, where is it so vulgar and unbearable in the intelligence? ”
Xu You couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Does your mansion particularly like to investigate others...... Well? ”
He slammed it, his mouth opened slightly, and his eyes instantly became sharp, as if he wanted to pierce the thick barrier and see the depths of Yuan Qingqi's heart. After a while, he said word by word: "It turned out to be you!" ”
