Chapter 1074: Editorial
Everyone doesn't understand the meaning of "weekly", Datang does not have the time unit of "week", but the news from within Jingzhao Mansion that Jingzhao Yin Fangjun publishes this newspaper every seven days.
If you lose 500 guan, it will be 2,000 guan in a month, and 25,000 guan in a year......
But this number seems huge to ordinary people, and the gap with Fang Jun's business of millions and tens of millions is really disproportionate, everyone can only scold secretly: Zhente Niang is rich and willful!
Wayward?
Fang Jun didn't think so.
Because this is far from the scale of the "Zhenguan Weekly" he expected, as early as a few years ago, a set of printed movable type was transported to all the cities in Datang where the business of the house was stationed through the post station, and then each city would set up a newspaper to distribute the "Zhenguan Weekly" to the world.
Initially, it was expected that he would push the circulation of Zhenguan Weekly to 100,000 copies nationwide!
According to the estimation of people in Chang'an, Fang Jun will lose a huge amount of money of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan every year......
In fact, this is naturally impossible.
The cost of bamboo paper is far less expensive than the outside world, and people do not realize the convenience and cheapness of movable type printing. In fact, the cost of "Zhenguan Weekly" is only about five cents, and Fang Jun has a way to make it a sharp weapon for manipulating public opinion, and at the same time, it has also become a magic weapon for collecting a lot of money......
Of course, compared with Kong Yingda's article, no one cares about any money.
This is an era of jealousy and lack of knowledge, and it is also an era of extremely slow dissemination of information......
The Confucian scholars in Guanzhong all competed to study, which actually led to a jaw-dropping phenomenon - Luoyang paper is expensive!
After a morning of questioning, puzzlement, and bystanding, the "Zhenguan Weekly" on the market quickly became popular after people discovered Kong Yingda's article, and all the newspapers that could be collected were snapped up by the family gate valve and even the poor students.
Those who did not get the newspaper would even take two catties of cooked meat and a jar of old wine cheekily to the homes of relatives and friends to borrow and copy them......
The phrase "the people are only Bangben, Bengu Bangning" comes from "Shangshu Song of the Five Sons". This lyric is Dayu's five grandsons on the way to be exiled to recall the emperor's admonition, express their grievances in the article, the first sentence of the article said: "The emperor has a training, the people can be approached, not down." The people are only Bangben, and Bengu Bangning. ”
It means that my grandfather once taught us that the people should be close to each other, and that they should not be rude. The people are the foundation of the country, and when the people are stable, the throne will be stable, and the world will be peaceful.
Although this precept is not necessarily Xia Yu's original words, it is very likely that it was only made up by folk scholars and spread through the mouths of sages, but it does reflect the earliest people-oriented thought in ancient China.
In the article, Kong Yingda elaborated on the meaning and influence of "the people are only the state, and the country is solid".
In the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, it was the people-oriented thought shrouded by the theory of "Mandate of Heaven", which belonged to the type of "Mandate of Heaven obeys the destiny of the people". The ruler believes that the monarchy is given by the mandate of heaven, but the mandate of heaven is obedient to the will of the people, and if the ruler does not sympathize with the people's power and does not cultivate moral governance, the mandate of heaven will be transferred to the new monarch according to the will of the people.
For example, the three articles of "Song of the Five Sons", "Tang Oath" and "Tai Oath" of "Shangshu" represent the people-oriented thoughts of the three kings of Xia Yu, Shang Tang and Zhou Wu.
Shang Tang said in the "Tang Oath" to crusade against Xia Wei's crimes: "There are many sins of Xia, and the destiny of heaven will kill him." Now there are many people, and you say, 'I will not have compassion on my people, but will give up my deeds, and cut off the summer.'" 'When you hear that you say that the Xia family is guilty, you are afraid of God and dare not be unjust. King Wu of Zhou said in the "Tai Oath" of the crusade against the king of Shang: "Heaven sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to the people. I will go now. ”
It is precisely because the ruler understands the principle that the mandate of heaven obeys the fate of the people, so the ruler has the idea of matching heaven with virtue. In particular, the rulers of the "small state Zhou" summed up the historical lessons from the demise of the "big country merchants" and further developed the people-oriented thinking of the Xia and Shang periods.
For example, "Shangshu, Zhoushu, Cai Zhong's Life" says: "The emperor has no relatives, but virtue is supplemented." The people's hearts are impermanent, but they are benevolent. "The mandate of heaven is indiscriminate, and he only assists the virtuous king. The hearts of the people are also impermanent, and he is only attached to the king who loves himself.
This also became the source of Confucianism's "people-oriented" thought in later generations.
In the article, Kong Yingda elaborated on the concept of people's livelihood, and saw that a group of students, Confucian officials, and aristocrats were fascinated and deeply reflected.
Even the people, who knew a few words, applauded.
When the great Confucian Kong Yingda spoke for the people of the world again, how could he not applaud?
Suddenly, the influence of Zhenguan Weekly was greatly enhanced.
And when the family gate valves were savoring the inner meaning of this "editorial" and the off-topic, they were also wary of Fang Jun's movements. But what surprised them was that Fang Jun seemed to be really devoted to this "Zhenguan Weekly", and did not pay any attention to Yuan's case......
What the hell is this kid doing?
Could it be that the fear and the power of the Yuan clan have died down?
Or even if the loser has to lose a different style, he has to make a flower cluster to win a cheer?
But no matter how everyone guesses, Fang Jun just didn't move at all......
A week later, the second issue of Zhenguan Weekly arrived as scheduled.
This time the focus is needless to say, the first thing people who buy a newspaper look at is the "editorial" on the main page.
This time it was not Kong Yingda who served as the main writer, but his fame was not bad at all!
Contemporary Confucianism, Doctor of Taixue, Jia Gongyan!
This person's ancestral home is Yongnian, Tangzhou. He is not only a Confucian scholar, a scholar, but also a scholar of "Three Rites", who has learned through the past and the present, and has written 50 volumes of "Zhou Rites and Rites" and 40 volumes of "Etiquette and Righteousness", and the name of the text is broadcast all over the world!
Jia Gongyan is proficient in the "Three Rites", not only the "Zhou Li Yishu" is compiled by him, but also the twelve volumes of Zheng Xuan's annotations, which are summarized by the family scriptures, and expanded into 50 volumes of "Yishu", which is modeled on the "Five Classics of Justice". "Etiquette and Righteousness" was also compiled by this public, using the sparseness of Huang Qing of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Li Mengchou of the Sui Dynasty, which was set as the present book, according to Zheng Xuan's note.
If you talk about the number of works alone, it is still above Kong Yingda!
And Jia Gongyan's "editorial" is called "Virtue is only good governance, and government is supporting the people......
This sentence is from "Shangshu-Yushu Da Yu Mo".
The original meaning is that moral politics is good politics, and the ultimate purpose of politics is to nurture the people.
However, its purpose is to spread the ideas of "the king is people-oriented" and "the country is people-oriented", which is the theme that began with Confucius and Mencius and ran through the entire feudal era.
The article says that in the era of Confucius, Mencius and the era of absolute monarchy for more than 2,000 years after the Qin and Han dynasties, although there was still the influence of the "Mandate of Heaven" theory of "heavenly power granted by the monarchy", the important role of the people's power was clearly emphasized in the relationship between the monarch and the people and the people.
Confucius put forward the ideological propositions of "the benevolent are also people", "the benevolent love others", "the government is in the people", "the government is virtuous", "the people do not stand without trust", and "cultivate oneself to love the people", which laid the foundation of the Confucian people-oriented ideological tradition. Mencius further put forward the propositions that "the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light" and "the people are the people and the son of heaven", forming the benevolent government ideological tradition of "the people are noble and the monarch is light" in later generations.
Mencius praised the Tang Wu Revolution and called Tang Wu's killing of the Emperor a "Fu Yifu", and Dong Zhongshu put forward the proposition that "there is a way to cut down but no way, and this heavenly principle is also", which illustrates the revolutionary nature of the Confucian people-oriented ideological tradition, that is, the rationality of the immoral being overthrown by the people and changing the dynasty.
The article is full of flowers, rigorous and clean, and every word is cardinal, whipping into the inside.
Many people have figured out the taste......
From "the people are only the state, the solid Bangning" to "the virtue is only good governance, the government is in the support of the people", which seems to be a bit blunt, the former is the people's customs and national politics during the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, and the latter is the political trend of Confucius and Mencius, but the two have a common subject - people-oriented!
The Tang Dynasty fought in all directions, although the martial arts were invincible, but the old wounds left by the turmoil in the world in the last years of the former Sui Dynasty have not healed, and the population has been far from keeping up with the speed of development.
The two editorials of "Zhenguan Weekly" are in line with the current social situation and immediately resonate with people of insight from all walks of life. For a time, Guanzhong was everywhere to promote the idea of "people-oriented", hoping that the emperor could encourage birth and breeding, and the empire could flourish......
An unprecedented trend of attaching importance to the livelihood of the population was quickly encouraged by these two articles, and it gradually became a trend!
