Chapter 14 The Observation Department and the Public's Praise of the Wonders of the Wonderful Cause of the Yellow Advice (II
After visiting Shiping Mountain, everyone praised Babaochuan as a treasure.
After a day of rest, Huang Jian was still unsatisfied, and he said to Lu Jian: "General Lu, I have carefully looked at the topography of Lu Tusi Yamen and West Datong, I have an opinion, I don't know if it's right?" You see, from a small point of view, the Lu Tusi Yamen is indeed composed of three parts: the Yamen, the Garden, and the Miao Yin Temple. In fact, the Lu Tusi Yamen building has a larger pattern, which is built according to the geographical characteristics of Liancheng. In my opinion, this architect is a big guy. When he built the yamen, he skillfully incorporated Shiping Mountain, Tulu Ditch, and the mountains on both sides, such as Bijia Mountain, into a whole. You see, the main peak of Shiping Mountain is like a huge screen, guarding the Liancheng town and the Lufu Yamen. It is backed by the vast city and the sea of forests, the right side of the surging Datong River, the steep peaks stand on the wall, the forest is lush, and the spring water is dingdong. Eight stacked peaks, cutting the wall peak. Eight temples are built on eight dangerous peaks, one peak and one scene, and the wonderful scenery is natural. In this way, Tulugou has become the real back garden of the yamen. You want the clouds to cover the mist of the Tulu ditch, the peaks and peaks, the forest is dense, the winding path is secluded, the Tuqi Naxiu, the grassland at the top of the mountains is abundant, the mountainside pines and cypresses are verdant, and the trees and shrubs at the foot of the mountain are interspersed. The stone cliff in the ditch stands, the winding path is secluded, the clear stream is like jade, move to change the scene, there is really 'the danger of Huashan, the wonder of Jiuzhai, the beauty of Emei, the seclusion of Qingcheng', this is the good place for Lu Tusi to train troops in peacetime, leisure and entertainment. - This is the big pattern of the construction of the Lu Tusi Yamen that I said, you say it's not strange, it's not wonderful?! ”
Everyone thought about it carefully according to his words, and it was indeed like this.
When Huang Ji said this, he sincerely admired: "It is not surprising that after many years, this place will definitely be a resort for people to visit and sightsee!" ”
Everyone applauded.
That afternoon, Lu Jian gathered his son and other Lu disciples together and asked Huang to admonish him. Huang Ji did not shirk and told the children why they should read and learn.
The first purpose of reading is to learn the Tao and to improve himself. There are no more than two categories of knowledge in the world, "when studying heaven and man, the changes of the past and the present". "On the occasion of studying heaven and man" is to explore the relationship between us and all things in heaven and earth; "The changes of the past and the present" is to understand the laws and experiences of our human society, personnel changes, and dynastic changes.
"The Book of Rites and Learning" has: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made; People don't learn, they don't know. It means that jade cannot become a utensil without pondering; If people do not learn, they will not understand the Word. This Tao is not only the principle of living in daily life, but also the way and principle of heaven and earth.
"University" talks about the knowledge of things, "knowledge is in things, and then things are known". That is, to gain knowledge by "deducing the principles and laws of things." The real order is: righteousness - sincerity - learning - enlightenment - self-cultivation - Qi family - governing the country - leveling the world. As an intermediate link, learning knowledge is not a great thing at all, and "learning and learning" is the right way in the world. This "Xi" theory is the application and practice, the process of transforming the "principle of things" into self-recognition, and the process of "cultural transformation". If there is no literacy, then learning becomes a superficial process of searching for chapters and sentences, instrumental and mechanical.
Let's talk about the Analects, a total of 11,705 words, of which there are 15 chapters and 66 mentions of the word "learning". This data fully shows the importance that Mr. Kong attaches to "learning". Confucius emphasized that "learning" is not only a variety of intellectual knowledge, but more importantly, the improvement of people's cultivation and virtue, so that students can practice "benevolence" and "propriety" through learning and thinking. Zixia once said: "Virtuous and virtuous are easy to color; Parents can do their best; The king of things can cause his body; Make friends and keep your word. Although I have not learned, I will say that I have learned. This emphasizes that people should pay attention to morality, filial piety and trustworthiness, and these three points can be achieved when dealing with interpersonal relationships, even if they have been studied. From the Master's point of view, personal character cultivation is much more important than the so-called profound knowledge.
Therefore, the first purpose of reading is to learn the Tao and improve oneself.
The perfect way to do this is to read and learn. Xunzi explained it very fully in the "Persuasion of Learning", "The learning of a gentleman is also in the ear, in the heart, in the four bodies, and in the form of movement." …… The learning of the villain is also in the ear, out of the mouth, between the mouth and the ear, the four inches of the ear, enough to be beautiful for a seven-foot body? "A gentleman's learning is to listen to his ears, to keep it in his heart, and then to embody it in his actions, his limbs and his movements, his words and deeds, so that what he says and what he does can be an example for people. On the other hand, the learning of the villain is in the ear, out of the mouth, and between the mouth and the ear...... How could such knowledge make his seven-foot body perfect? So he went on to say, "The scholars of the past are themselves, and the scholars of today are people." The gentleman's learning is also to beautify his body; The learning of the villain is also thought to be a calf". The gentleman wants to perfect his body, and the learning of the villain is only for trading, so he hears it in his ears and speaks it out of his mouth, which is nothing but a sale, and it is of no use to perfect his seven-foot body. Therefore, learning for oneself is to improve oneself, and the way to improve is to read and study.
Therefore, the fundamental purpose of learning should be to become an "adult".
What kind of person is considered an "adult", Mencius and the student Gongduzi have a dialogue, which can be said to point out the root of the problem: Gongduzi asked: "All are people, or adults, or villains, what?" Mencius said, "From its general body it is an adult, and from its small body it is a small person." "All are human beings, either in their general or in their small bodies, what is it?" "The officer of the eyes and ears does not think, but hides from things. The exchange of things is just a matter of introduction. The official of the heart thinks, thinks about it, and gets it, and if you don't think about it, you can't. This heavenly place and my one. The one who stands first is the greatest, and the smaller one can take it. It's just for adults. The fundamental purpose of learning should be to become an "adult", so that people can follow the direction of their hearts instead of following the ups and downs of material desires. To study is to "ask for reassurance and reassurance", so that you can become a person with roots, and this root is virtue. A virtuous person will take the world as his own responsibility and take responsibility.
Everyone listened to it with relish and felt that they had benefited a lot.
In the evening, Lu Lin quietly asked Lu Jian: "Abba, people say that Lord Huang can pass the Tanhua exam because he took the elixir of the fox fairy, is this true?" ”
It turned out that Zhuang Lang was circulating, Huang Zhi was young, liked to play, and neglected to read. One evening, a little girl knocked on the door of Huang Jian's house, Huang Jian opened the door, and the girl said that Zhuang Lang was looking for relatives and lost her way to see if she could spend the night. Huang Ji's family took in the girl. The girl was very diligent, and when she got up early the next day, she swept the yard of Huang Ji's house. She herself said that her surname was Hu, she lived in the area of Huangxugou, and her mother worked as a servant in the city, so she came to look for her mother, but she lost contact. This girl is not only diligent, but also smart, under her influence, Huang Ji changed the laziness of the past, studied diligently, and made rapid progress. However, a few months later, Huang Ji reverted to his old ways, and his reading did not improve. It turned out that the little girl's mother found the girl and took her away.
Time flies, and it is a few years in a hurry, Huang Ji's parents found a famous teacher for him, but Huang Ji's playful heart did not change. One day, while the teacher was away, Huang Ji ran to Qinglong Mountain in the east of the city to play, which was several miles. But he saw a large family on the side of the road with a very exquisite garden, Huang Jian couldn't hold back his curiosity, and walked in, the scenery was really unusual. Who knows, just around the corner of Xiaoyuan, he met a very beautiful woman, Huang Ji was surprised, and looked closely at the woman surnamed Hu who was taken in back then. The two complained about the situation after parting and complained to each other about their lovesickness. The woman said she would come that night. Sure enough, the woman often visited in the middle of the night, and after reading Huang Yu's poems, the woman was greatly disappointed, saying that it was difficult to achieve results in such a study. So, he quietly spit out a red pill and let Huang Ji take it. Since then, Huang Ji's reading has made rapid progress. As a result, Huang Jian became famous step by step, and finally explored flowers in high school.
Lu Jian smiled: "How can there be such a thing!" This just means that Huang Bianxiu was smart when he was young, studied hard, and achieved success in his studies. ”
The next day, Lu Jian asked Huang Jian to write "The Records of the Datong Temple", Lu Lin grinded, Huang Jian's chest and abdomen manuscript was completed early, and the pen was like a dragon and snake, all in one go:
Since Buddhism has not entered China, Si Li has already gained popularity. Gai is only the emperor's heart, and people are not reasonable, Nai Qi observes the movement of customs, and they do not know that the reason is in the ears of the people. The father of the Ni Ming Holy Way to edict the future generations, the son of the public opinion to say benevolence and righteousness to the hearts of the lady, at that time the scholars of the sect, and the Buddha's teachings were not revealed. The farther away you are from the saints, the people's hearts are not ancient, and it is natural to not know where to go. After the Han and Wei dynasties, the teachings of the Buddha flourished, and many people abandoned them and did this.
However, the teachings of the Buddha, based on emptiness and silence, based on the precept of wisdom and enlightenment, and the precept of not killing, fornicating, stealing, and not drinking, are used to guide people to do good deeds, which is also a shortcut to create reason, and it is suitable for people in the world to rush to it. It is a religion spread from the Western Regions, so the personnel of the Western Regions are especially Du. Since the Holy Dynasty has been in the world, the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism cannot be abandoned, so they have set up officials to lead their affairs, and created temples to worship them. And the temple of the western soil is more prosperous than other counties. Zhuanglang Datong River Bridge Station, is the hometown of Lu Xian, the governor of the right army. The younger brother of the prince stabbed Luo Zhusi, who was kind to him at an early age, became a precept early, and was very cautious, and many people admired him. The land of Biez was plagued by drought one after another, so he built a temple next to his residence as a place for repair. The value of its craftsmen, the tools of wood, and all the expenses are taken from the Governor, and the Duke is not to be relieved. The more completed in one year, it is to the main hall, the mountain gate, the hall, the storehouse, the wall, the step, the house, the circle, and it is not possessed; And the wood and stone tiles, danchalk coating, radiant and firm, Mo incomparable. Orthodox Ren Xudong, the beginning of the court, to give the "Datong Temple", and ordered the monk Dar to hide the abbot, leading the people to burn it. Kunji was not only pampered, but he came to ask for the five characters of the book to be revealed at the mountain gate. This year's summer five is full of the beginning and the end, and I want to remember it. Yu said that Zhuang Lang is one of the five counties in the west of the ancient river, and it is far away to Beijing. Although the king is gradually transformed, and those who can understand the way of the saint are fresh, so that they are not more extensive, then the heart of the strong is prosperous, and Wu can hope that it will be transformed into good! However, the reason for the goodness of the human heart, everyone has it, neither follow the holy religion to restore its beginning, but the reason why the religion is to transform the people's hearts to return to the good, can also be still also, so the tablet of the book, engraved in the stone, Shu several know the intention of the public.
The crowd was amazed.
After that, Lu Jian asked Mu Lun to engrave the book, and made a stone tablet of 2.5 meters high and 1.2 meters wide "Eci Datong Temple", which stood in the middle of the Eagle King Palace. The front of the stele is engraved with "Eci Datong Temple", and the inscription written by Huang Ji is engraved at the back, and the back is written: "Ci Jinshi and the first Hanlin Academy edited and revised Wenlin Lang Jincheng Huang Zhi, and gave Jinshi to supervise the imperial history Qingcheng Mu Lun book before he was born." On the 15th day of October in the first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, Zhuang Langwei commanded Lu Jianli.
Coming back from Liancheng, Huang Jian quietly asked Lu Jian, "Woniu Mountain in front of Renshou Mountain is your territory, right?" Is there a Lord?"
"That's right! No, I don't. What do you think? ”
"It's good if you don't have it! It's good if you don't have it I intend to rest here in 100 years. ”
"What? Your Excellency, you're thinking too long, aren't you? ”
"Nope! No! People have a hundred years, what's so terrible about that? I think it's sunny and clean, and I like it very much, so you can keep it for me. Huang Ji said sincerely.
"If that's the case, I'll take care of it for you!" Lu Jian agreed
