In Cai's mansion, Cai Yong seems to be caught in memories, and the friendship between him and Lu Zhi is like that between Hu Guang and Chen Qiu, although they did not become friends, they appreciated each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Cai Yong and Lu Zhi also admired each other's literary literacy in the process of compiling the Xiping Stone Scripture......

At that time, the people who participated in the compilation of the Xiping Stone Scripture were Cai Yong, as well as Lu Zhi, Ma Riyan, Yang Biao, Han Shuo and others, all of whom were related to family learning.

However, there were also many academic disputes at the time of compilation......

Cai Yong looked at Fei Qian, and felt that since Fei Qian was going to officially set foot in the whirlpool of Luoyang, there were still some things that needed to be explained to Fei Qian, so he asked: "Do you know that in addition to the dispute between the east and the west, there is still a dispute between the ancient and the modern?" ”

East-West Battle?

It is estimated that it is the dispute between the Kanto and Kansai factions, that is, the struggle between the Dong Zhuo faction and the Yuan Yang faction.

But what is the controversy between the ancient and the modern?

Fei Qian thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a possibility, so he said tentatively: "But the dispute between the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures? ”

Cai Yong smiled slightly and said, "Exactly." The dispute between ancient and modern times has been going on for a long time, since the violent Qin burned books, after many losses, and then for Qi, Lu, Yan, Zhao and the land of Confucianism to complete, but for the dictation, there are many errata in the meaning of the word......"

Fei Qian nodded, he only knew a little about this matter after he came to the Han Dynasty, especially when he was in Jingxiang, and he had a little discussion with Pang Tong......

The cause of this matter is actually the dispute between schools in the Warring States Period, since the Emperor of Yan and Huang had a big signboard of Fengtianxing, the princes and emperors in order to better rule the people under them, in order to let the shepherds have the right to shepherd sheep all the time, they are constantly looking for suitable religion......

From the summer solstice to Shang, from Shang to Zhou, the imperial power gradually broke away from the form of the alliance of the tribal alliance, and more put on the sacred coat, but this coat is used to blind those who do not know the truth.

As a result, after the later rulers came to power, on the one hand, they hoped to pass on the throne from generation to generation, and on the other hand, they were worried that someone would threaten the throne in the future, so they desperately hoped for a tool that could imprison the minds of the people, including the scholars, so in the late Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought began......

At that time, the Zhou royal family was in decline, the princes were big, and the "Zhou rites" that maintained the feudal patriarchal hierarchy were greatly damaged, the princes competed for hegemony, and the society was in turmoil. At this time, intellectuals representing the interests of various classes were extremely active and became an important social force, and they appeared on the stage of history one after another, wrote books and theories, and put forward ways to solve practical problems in society, thus forming a prosperous situation in which a hundred schools of thought contended.

Among them, the most famous are Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, and Moism.

Each of them designed a set of plans for the emerging ruling class to end the secession and achieve a unified governance, which laid the foundation for the choice of social governance ideas after the Qin and Han dynasties.

The struggle between this school of thought reached its peak in the late Warring States period, and the final result was that the Qin State, which believed in Legalism, unified the Central Plains with iron and blood, but after the unification, although the same text and the same track were implemented, it was still found that there were still different voices whispering on the ruins of the collapsed old world, so a slaughter was carried out within the scope of the academic......

Many Confucian classics were destroyed and lost at that moment.

However, after all, the Legalists of the Qin Dynasty were in power for the first time, and there was no specific experience of their predecessors to refer to, so in the end, the Legalists followed the Qin Dynasty to take a very tragic lunch and take a break.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang first adopted the Taoism of Huang Lao's art to rule, and later found that Huang Lao's exquisite birth without dispute was not suitable for his own rule, so he has been looking for other ways, and Confucianism has stepped onto the stage of history in this context......

But at that time, the scriptures were indeed damaged too much in the Qin Dynasty, so in order to establish a relatively perfect system, many Confucians appeared at that time to contribute their own scriptures, but these scriptures and the remnants of the pre-Qin scriptures found later have some differences, the most important thing is that the role of Confucius is different, in order to promote the status of Confucianism, the modern scriptures deliberately worship Confucius, and elevate Confucius to the throne of King Xuanshengsu; However, the ancient scriptures still believe that Confucius was just an educator and historian, and the ancient scriptures worship King Wen of Zhou even more......

Cai Yong said: "Today, between the government and the opposition, there are many people who oppose each other because of ancient and modern times, and you need to be cautious. If there are people who talk about the subtle meaning of the scriptures, most of them are the scriptures, and they can listen to them, and there is no need to argue about them. ”

Fei Qian nodded his head to be taught, and thought in his heart that Master Cai Yong was a moderate sect of ancient scriptures, and he was also worried that I would cause unnecessary disputes because of other people's different interpretations of some scriptures.

Fei Qian couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, Master Cai Yong really cared for him as a child! I remember that when I just came out of college and was about to go to work, my parents at home explained that if there was any dispute in the company, it would be good to listen to it and not to participate......

That's really ......

Ancient knowledge is limited by words and carriers, so it is recorded in a relatively simple and obscure way, so for the same scripture, or even the same sentence, there will be some ambiguity because of different interpretations, especially in the Han Dynasty, when there were no sentence breaks, which often led to disputes between the two schools......

Fei Qian suddenly thought of a question, Cai Yong is the defender of the ancient scripture school, so who is the supporter of the present scripture in the court?

But he didn't expect Cai Yong to shake his head with some regret, and said: "There are many people who study the ancient scriptures, and Lu Zigan is also a master of the ancient scriptures, but it's a pity that ......" Cai Yong only said that Lu Zhi had left the imperial court, and the others did not say whether it belonged to the present scripture or the ancient scripture, on the one hand, he was worried that Fei Qian knew who was studying the present scripture, and there would be some actions that were close to someone or hostile to someone, which was undoubtedly inappropriate for a new person to enter the court, and it was also contrary to Cai Yong's consistent concept of being a gentleman and not friends; On the other hand, Cai Yong had also encountered someone who used to study the ancient scriptures before, but later turned around and threw himself into the arms of the present scriptures for various reasons, so it was not easy to talk to Fei Qian......

This time, Cai Yong happily agreed to transport away his own collection of books, on the one hand, he was also grateful for Fei Qian's sincerity, and on the other hand, because the ancient scripture school itself has few books, unlike the modern scripture school that can make up its own, so he can't bear to let the book suffer losses again.

Fei Qian suddenly asked, "I wonder if Wang Situ has learned this scripture?" Now Situ Yang Biao has resigned, and Wang Yun has come back to serve as Situ, but he is still a scholar.

Cai Yong looked at Fei Qian, obviously strange why Fei Qian asked Wang Yun alone, but since Fei Qian asked, he thought about it, and finally said truthfully: "Wang Situ is indeed studying the scriptures. ”

I see......
