But the "Zheng Sheng" that Confucius resolutely rejected remembered that Ji Za was watching Zhou music in Lu Country and heard the music of "Zheng Feng" and said: "It is very detailed, and the people are unbearable." "Zheng Feng" is a sentimental poem, so there are fine and beautiful sounds, Confucius did not like these, and being able to keep them shows that it has not yet reached the level of rejection.

Later, "Zheng Feng" developed into a new pop music of "Zheng Sheng", and Confucius, an old-fashioned man who could not understand the advanced content, was directly beaten to death with a stick and rejected it. also said that Zheng Sheng is not equal to "Zheng Feng".

What is the "Zheng Sheng" mentioned by Confucius? It is the new music of the Zheng Kingdom that arose and became popular in the late Spring and Autumn Period. What everyone likes does not mean that Confucius also likes it, so he angrily criticized Zheng Sheng for changing his tune.

Confucius continued to explain to the monarch of Zheng State: "The kings of the Eastern Zhou Empire are all in Luoyang, and our Zheng State is immediately after that, Zheng State is also a big country today, and the rise of new music has been popular in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty royal capital and the vast areas of the countries, like a spark burning the plain, if you don't govern it quickly, I'm afraid it's too late, just like sweeping away pornography and fighting black!" In fact, it doesn't take too much time, as long as it is introduced into the right track, people will be exposed to it, and then it will naturally come to fruition! ”

As Confucius said, "the rebellion of evil Zheng Sheng, Yale also". At this time, Confucius also discovered that this new music had a very tenacious vitality and had officially invaded Yale.

Confucius went on to explain: "Now that new music is popular, people in the streets and alleys comment that they want to sleep when they listen to ancient music, and they are tireless when they listen to new music. From this, I want to see the ancient music is elegant and flat, and the new music is popular, lively and moving. If the elegant and pure classical music is no longer protected, it will be too late to oppose the new music Zheng Sheng, which is harmful to the country and the people, and the popular music! ”

When the monarch of Zheng Guo heard this, he also thought about it: "There must be some reason why the saint resolutely rejects it. But what is harmful, Mr. can't say, and I can't think of it, Zheng Sheng has swept most of the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty from my Zheng State, which is of great benefit to the Zheng State of the Declared I, as for the songs played by the sage, everyone can't appreciate it, and they feel that it is terrible to hear, and no one wants to hear it! ”

I remember the day when I first came to King Zheng's city, Confucius's super-luxurious lineup of masters and apprentices was infinitely beautiful, and they came to the south gate of Xinzheng, the capital of Zheng State, non-stop, but at this time, Zigong found that Confucius was gone. Everyone was in a great hurry and searched everywhere for the Master.

Zigong asked a white-haired old man: "This old man, have you ever seen an old man who is about two meters tall, over sixty years old, and has frost-dyed hair?" ”

The white-haired old man smiled and said: "I did see an old man, outside the east gate of Xinzheng, tall and mighty, with a pair of river eyes, broad forehead and high cheeks, head like Tang Yao's neck like Gao and shoulders like a child's birth, less than three inches from the waist down, tired like a lost dog." Although the old man said all the bad things about Confucius, Zigong was still very happy when he heard it, and understood that it was the teacher.

Zigong ran to the east gate, found Confucius, and did not shy away from telling the words of the white-haired old man to Confucius, Confucius listened to it and laughed and said: "Like Yao, like Gao, like Zichan, I am ashamed of Kongqiu, if I say like a lost dog, it is very like." ”

When Confucius first arrived in Zhengguo, after a lot of advertisements, everyone knew that Confucius played the piano well, and they all wanted to come to listen to it. It's bald and lazy, and it's tired, and I can't hear any big tonic effect at all?

Zheng Guo still did not take Confucius in the end. sent some money for him to find another job, and Confucius had no choice but to retreat. When Confucius traveled all the way around the world, followed by many disciples, the Jin Kingdom was a place they longed for. Why? Because of Doctor Dou of the Jin Kingdom.

Doctor Dou, the trumpet calf, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. Construct water conservancy, rule with benevolence, deeply loved by the people, known as the river god. was later killed by Zhao Jianzi. Confucius, who traveled around the world, was the only one who never went to the Jin Kingdom, because of the death of Doctor Dou. When Confucius heard the news of Dr. Dou's death, he had already arrived at the Yellow River.

Confucius sighed, "Gorgeous, the water of the Yellow River, how magnificent it is, the reason why I can't cross the Yellow River is also the arrangement of fate!" ”

Zigong asked him what he meant, and Confucius said, "They are all virtuous doctors of the Jin Kingdom, and when Zhao Jianzi did not achieve his will, he had the same political views as Doctor Dou, but once he got his will, he killed Doctor Dou to implement his own new policy." I have heard that whenever and wherever the fetus is taken by caesarean section, the unicorn will never come again; If you fish with all your might, the dragon will never appear again; The nest is overturned, and the phoenix will never fly again. I have also heard that the gentleman is always particularly sad about the misfortunes of his fellow believers, and that the birds and beasts still know and avoid unrighteous deeds, let alone my Kongqiu. ”

After Confucius arrived in Chen, Chen Guogong was naturally happy, asked Confucius a lot of allusions, and praised the erudite Confucius very much. However, Chen Guoguo is small and weak, and it is difficult to implement the rule of etiquette, and now it is being invaded and divided by Wu Chu and other big countries, and it is also a mess between the government and the opposition.

Confucius's doctrine is indeed good, only suitable for the period of peace and prosperity to preach courtesy, put on a posture, through the education of etiquette and music to stimulate people's benevolence, for this fragmented Eastern Zhou Dynasty, only suitable for the etiquette collapse and bad temperance, the scene of the golden iron horse, Confucius can only sigh that his life is not timely and powerless.

It was also because the sage Confucius understood this that he set the creed for this trip; "The state of danger is not entered, and the state of chaos is not lived." "Taber"), the stormy Chen State, of course, was not a place to stay for a long time, so he marched south to Cai Guo.

Confucius went from Chen to Cai, and the next year he went from Cai to Yedi, although there was a lot of financial and material support from Zigong, this trip around the world is still like a lost dog, worse than mixing rivers and lakes!

On the way to Ye Hui Cai, Confucius met Jieyu. This receiver is called a madman of Chu State, and he likes to sing all day long, just like Confucius likes "Shao" and "Wu", this receiver also likes the songs he sings.

On this day, he walked past Confucius singing and singing, and wanted to show off to Confucius, after all, this old man surnamed Kong is very cool and stylish, and it is worth showing off.

Pick up the public singing: "Phoenix, phoenix, why don't you show up, I heard that there is no way in the world, and the phoenix you hope for will not appear, so why are you so downcast now that you have become this bird?" It shows that society is corrupt and morally degenerate! Why did you become like this bird? You old man in the past can't be persuaded to come back, it doesn't matter, comrades can still continue, work hard! The future is promising. But give you eye drops and vaccinations, because politics is too dangerous!"

Confucius felt that it was indeed interesting to receive this old man, others couldn't understand this singing, but Kong Qiu understood, the so-called heroes of the world saw the same! So I got out of the car and wanted to talk to the old fellow. Jieyu hurriedly avoided it, not wanting to talk to Old Man Kong.

It's better to "live in troubled times". Wise to protect yourself. Confucius thought about it, and didn't bother anymore, this kind of hermit can't learn anything, what he understands has long been revealed, and there are so many goods in the whole stomach, otherwise he will definitely vomit quickly, and there is no need to keep it!
