Section 327 The Correct Way of Interpreting the Book of Songs (2)
Xie Yannian looked at the young man wearing a sable crown in front of him and took a deep breath.
Since entering the customs, he has heard about the other party's alias-Zhang Chiyou!
It is rumored that this is a young upstart who will repay and fight back extremely quickly!
It is said that every one who has offended him will not die well!
Legend has it that even Jieyu in the palace has a person planted in his hands, and today's emperor has also been slapped in the face by him!
Is it worth it for Xie Yannian to rashly offend and attract the hatred of such a young magnate?
But soon he threw aside the fear in his heart.
"It is because of this man's retribution that I must stop what is happening today......" he said to himself in his heart.
This man has been offended by the Mao poetry school.
With his character, he will definitely retaliate against and suppress the Mao poetry school.
If he is allowed to become a great Confucian of the Ram School and has the power to influence the Ram School, Xie Yannian dares to guarantee that he will definitely find an excuse to attack Mao Shi!
Thinking like this, he stepped forward without fear and bowed: "Don't dare to be a servant, the contemptible person is Xie Yannian, the teacher of the Meng family will not give up, and accept him as a disciple to teach the justice of "Poetry"!" β
Zhang Yue listened, but smiled: "The justice of poetry? Hehe! β
Like the "Spring and Autumn Period" and the "Book of Songs", the "Book of Songs", as a Confucian classic (to be precise, the Book of Songs and the Book of Songs are classics that are jointly respected and recognized by all schools of thought), in the Han Dynasty, it was also inevitable to fall into fratricidal infighting.
Especially after Dong Zhongshu put forward the idea of great unification and set the national policy of abolishing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism, the fight between the various systems of Confucianism became more and more ferocious!
and gradually split into two campsβthe modern literary school and the ancient literary school.
In the inheritance system of the Book of Poetry, the emerging Mao school of poetry undoubtedly belongs to the ancient literature school.
Although, Mr. Mao Heng, the big hairy man, claimed before his death that his "Book of Songs" was passed on from Mr. Xunzi, which is the most orthodox "Book of Songs", at least more orthodox than the other three!
But the problem is that the only disciple of Mr. Xunzi to Han Ji is only one who has been confirmed and confirmed.
Fu Qiu Bo gave the "poem" to the father and son of King Chu Yuan, thus opening the school of Chu poetry, after the father and son of King Chu Yuan, Duke Lu Shen followed, and Qi poems and Lu poems appeared.
As for Mr. Mao Heng?
The era of its activity was about the time of Taizong to Emperor Xian, unless he had already listened to the lectures under Xunzi in his mother's womb, otherwise it was impossible to get Xunzi's teaching.
Therefore, the Mao poetry school itself knows it, and it is also known as the ancient literature school.
The source of his ideas and interpretations of the Book of Songs is said to have been dug out of the walls that remained in the Warring States period......
Ahem......
Two years ago, Confucius's contemporary descendant, Kong Anguo, reported to the Son of Heaven that he had accidentally damaged the wall of the family's old Confucius house, and found classic bamboo slips such as "Shangshu", "Book of Filial Piety", "Book of Rites" and "Analects".
It's just that the words recorded in these bamboo slips are all tadpole scripts, and only he, a descendant of Confucius, can translate them......
So he concocted the big lie of "Ancient Texts and Books"!
This scam is full of loopholes, but Zhang Yue doesn't want to care about him for the time being.
After all, Kong Anguo is still staying in his own home to entertain himself, and it has not caused any impact.
And Mao's words......
Uh-huh......
He straightened his shirt slightly, and recalled the comments about today's Mao poetry school and its doctrine that I had occasionally read in the past.
It's all flawed!
There's no way around it!
At this point in time, in addition to the Ouyang School, Qi Shi School and Han Shi School, in addition to the Ram, Gu Liang and Shangshu schools, a complete and rigorous logical system of doctrine has been established, which can be justified.
The other emerging young schools are basically still in the period of savage growth.
They are just like those Internet companies that started their businesses in later generations, with so many bugs that they have not even established theoretical systems and propositions.
Although the Mao School of Poetry is one of the more successful and developed of these emerging schools.
But unfortunately, there are not many problems and problems of all the emerging schools.
First of all, the biggest problem is plagiarism!
To put it simply, it's a copycat! So Zhang Yue took his hands and stared at Xie Yannian without pressure.
The eyes were full of mockery and banter.
Xie Yannian was a little hairy when he was stared at by Zhang Yue.
The person in front of him is a servant of the Han Dynasty, a favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, and an assistant minister of the eldest grandson of Qin.
The first bug in the history of the Han Dynasty to lead the county commander in the middle of the service!
is a big man who really holds power and takes life and death in one mind!
Xie Yannian suddenly inexplicably remembered the fate of the predecessor of Confucianism, the old farmer of the Yan school.
"Although the Great Nong Ling did not criticize His Majesty, the minister thought that he slandered His Majesty's holy system in his belly!" With such a fluttering sentence, a generation of famous Confucians died.
It was only at this moment that he remembered, in front of real power.
The so-called academics, the so-called fame and the so-called morality, are not worth mentioning!
Virtuous as a king, as honest as a face, their lives are directly in the hands of those who hold power.
This made Xie Yannian flinch a little, but as soon as the idea of retreating was together, he was shattered by a voice deep in his heart!
"Life is also what I want; Righteousness is also what I want, and I can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also! Mencius's teachings, like a slap in the face, brought him to his senses, and at the same time injected infinite courage into his heart.
He looked at the young lieutenant, no longer fearful and fearful, but full of courage and courage.
"Is there a disagreement among the attendants?" Xie Yannian held his head high, like a proud warrior, at this moment, he remembered the sage Zilu, even though he was armed with a knife and axe, he still calmly put on his crown and hat and went to die calmly.
"Contemptible, at the age of eighteen, the teacher taught "Poems", in order to teach the righteousness of the kings and learn the way of the sages......"
"Then what is the meaning of the Book of Songs?" Zhang Yue suddenly asked with a smile.
If this question were to be answered in a different era, more than 80 percent of the people who read the book would probably be able to answer it.
It's a pity that in this era, let alone the Mao Poetry School, even Yuan Gusheng, the founder of the Qi Poetry School with the oldest qualifications, is here to be confused.
What's more, a young man of the Mao poetry school like Xie Yannian?
When he heard this, he felt his scalp tingle.
That's right......
"Spring and Autumn" has the meaning of Spring and Autumn, Shangshu has the righteousness of the first king, what about the meaning of the Book of Poetry?
He reluctantly replied, "Or edification?" β
He immediately overturned this answer, because his teacher told him that when the Book of Songs reached Confucius, Confucius deleted it to determine 311 articles, which was the so-called '300 poems, in a word: thinking without evil'
In his later years, Confucius once warned his disciples: "The empty words I want to carry are not as famous as the deep fame of my deeds!"
Therefore, Mao Gong firmly believes that Confucius is by no means untargeted, leaving behind the Book of Poetry.
Every work of poetry that has been handed down has a profound meaning behind it.
Therefore, after long-term research and repeated exploration, the Mao poetry school finally found an important evidence - more than sixty percent of the poems contained in the Book of Poetry and the Elegant Essays are satirical poems!
So, the big and small Mao Gong cheered: Master Guo does not use empty words!
So under the leadership of these two great Confucians, the Mao school of poetry found the key to unlocking the spirit of the Book of Poetry left by Confucius - the beautiful thorn.
What is a beautiful thorn?
Speaking good things on the surface, in fact, it is sarcastic and sarcastic.
So he quickly added: "There are both beautiful thorns to admonish the three princes of the king!" β
"Hehe......" Zhang Yue listened and shook his head slightly: "What Xie Sheng said may be reasonable...... But...... Why is the beginning of the Book of Songs "Guan Ju"? β
"In my spare time, I once skimmed the "Exegesis of the Book of Poetry" of your school, and I knew a little about your family's advocacy......
"But the sages of your family never said why Confucius took "Guan Ju" as the beginning of the poem!"
"This ......" Xie Yannian suddenly remembered that the person in front of him had wanted to worship in the Gentleman's Pavilion, but in the end he did not make the trip.
From this point of view, he may indeed have read and understood the theories and ideological propositions of the Mao School of Poetry.
And the question he asked was like a lightning bolt that crossed his heart.
At present, the Mao school of poetry advocates that the Book of Poetry is the direct embodiment of Confucius's so-called "it is better to see and act deeply famous".
In this regard, through decades of research, the Mao poetry school has verified that many passages are related to some disasters and wars recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period.
So, in the eyes of the Mao poetry school, this is their own success.
It is also because they have verified a lot of real hammers, so the development of the Mao poetry school is more acceptable than the Qi poems and Lu poems that are always air-to-air.
But......
Now, Xie Yannian found himself encountering a big problem.
It was this lieutenant who brought it up.
Since Confucius 'does not use empty words', he once specifically warned his disciples that 'it is better to see what is seen and act deeply'.
So why did Confucius put "Guan Ju" at the top of the Book of Songs, as the soul of the Book of Songs?
Everyone can memorize "Guan Ju", and even a three-year-old child may be able to recite it.
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. The first sentence of this beginning is even more popular, and it can be called the most widely circulated and sung poem.
But......
Why did Confucius put this poem on the love between men and women at the beginning of the Book of Songs?
Not only Xie Yannian, Dong Yue, Lu Wen and others also fell into deep thought.
The late Dong Zhongshu taught them - the master (Confucius) is praised by one word, honored by Hua Gon, and degraded by one word, and stricter than the axe.
is like the first sentence in "Spring and Autumn": In the spring of the first year, Wang Zhengyue.
It directly provides theoretical support and foundation for the idea of great unification for the Ram School.
Therefore, the Ram School is extremely concerned about those 'very strange things in the Spring and Autumn Period', and they want to find out the foreshadowing laid by Confucius and the great meaning behind it from these records.
To put it bluntly, if Confucius were to be resurrected now, I am afraid that he would find that every word he left behind had been studied over and over again by his disciples and grandchildren.
Even typos and omissions have become the focus of countless people's research and discussion.
Why? Countless questions are endless.
In the West, as soon as humans think, Yahweh laughs.
And in China, as soon as Confucianism thought about it, Confucius cried.
Because, someone is trying to distort and distort his meaning again.
At this moment, the whole world is silent.
Everyone frowned, thinking about Zhang Yue's question.
Why did Confucius use Guan Ju as the first part of the Book of Poetry? What kind of profound and inexplicable truth is hidden in this?
Just think about it, everyone is in the blood and it is difficult to restrain themselves.
Some people even think that if this problem can be solved and a reasonable explanation can be obtained, then everyone will be closer to the path of Confucius.
Zhang Yue waited quietly for a moment, then straightened his clothes slightly, and said: "Seven or eight years ago, the first deceased brother was secretive, and the boy was stubborn, and he wanted to invite a famous teacher to teach him, so he did not hesitate to sell the land and take the boy east to the river to find a famous teacher......"
Speaking of this, the memory of the original owner inevitably came to mind.
Those days and nights in the river, the grievances and tears of the deceased brother, as if it were just yesterday, just now, were extremely clear, making him empathize, and his eyes couldn't help but be red and moist.
"In late spring, the kid still remembers that when it was raining and raining, there was no day or rain in the river, and the eldest brother took me to live in a village ten miles outside the Junzi Pavilion, listening to the hymns and listening to the praises of righteousness at dusk......"
Everyone just listened quietly, and the Han people especially talked about righteousness.
Especially the brotherly love, the story of brothers, friends and brothers can always win people's favor, not to mention that Zhang Yue is now famous.
Such a big man, telling the story of his deceased brother, who would dare to disturb?
"At that time, the entanglement was about to end, the eldest brother couldn't light the oil lamp, and he could only go to bed early every day and couldn't study......" Speaking of this, tears flowed from the corners of Zhang Yue's eyes, but this was acting.
At that time, it wasn't so miserable!
It's not that you can't afford to light an oil lamp.
But don't talk about being miserable, how to set off yourself?
"Although I was young at that time, I could not bear to worry about my stubborn boy's enrollment every day, and at that time, a rich merchant also took his son to the river to ask for discipleship, and his family was rich, and he could light a big candle every night, and the room where the boy lived happened to have a broken wall, so he ...... Every night, after the eldest brother fell asleep, the boy held a book in front of the broken wall and read it by stealing the light of the neighbor's room......"
Speaking of which, Zhang Yue said sorry to Mr. Kuang Heng in his heart, sorry, and copied your allusion.
But when everyone listened, they all felt the same way, and some even shed tears.
No way, for literati, the story of this kind of child from a poor family, who is angry and strives to be strong, and succeeds through various efforts has always been touching.
And the story Zhang Yue said is extremely inspiring!
In ancient times, there were Su Qin's head hanging beams, taper thorn stocks, and the body hung the seal of the six countries, which went down in history
Today, Zhang Zi re-chiseled the wall to steal the light!
This is simply the best chicken soup for the soul of the year, and it can even be selected as one of the top ten chicken soup for the soul of the Han family's history!
Even Xie Yannian was inexplicably moved when he heard it, and lowered his head in shame.
Because he knew that the villain of the story told by this lieutenant was him and his teacher.
Although, he can guarantee that none of his teachers or even the principals in the Gentleman's Pavilion know about it.
Because, thousands of people go to the Junziguan every year to study.
Unless you are a scholar, you will be rejected.
It's just that......
Does this story have anything to do with the fact that the Book of Poetry lists "Guan Ju" as the first chapter?
