On the podium, Zhao Xing changed the topic and jumped to the respected teacher: "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher--- etiquette is the rule." Respecting the teacher is also a kind of law. Respecting teachers and valuing education is our Chinese tradition for the ages, and I only hope that this law will remain unchanged for a long time, just like the sun and the moon.

Everyone knows that my teacher is Su Zizhan, a teacher for one day and a father for life, and I will never forget the grace of teaching. I respect my teacher as I respect the heavens, I am grateful to the earth, I love the king, and I am friendly to my relatives and friends, and I hope that our nation will adhere to this law and not grow old because of the change of dynasties.

I think this law should be the eternal law between heaven and earth, and the gods in heaven and the kings on earth should also respect the law---- if you don't love your teacher, why love your king? If you don't respect heaven and earth, how can you be loyal to the community?

Today my teacher is not here, but I still have a teacher here, and I am sure many people have seen it, but they may not have had time to greet this elder, who is the former ruling Liu Zhi and Liu Xianggong. Liu Xianggong's moral articles are deeply admired by me, and I treat them as a teacher.

Fang Jin, the imperial court is arguing endlessly over political strategy, but I don't want to evaluate who is right and wrong here, because we don't have to say who is right, and future generations have the final say. I just want to say: Zi said that there must be my teacher in the threesome. He also said: Those who reach are teachers. Learning, if you don't understand, ask questions, is the real Confucian. If you don't understand it, or if you don't meet your own wishes, you will insult it, tamper with it, reject it, attack it, and beat the drum to attack it, which is a pseudo-Confucianism.

Liu Xianggong's scholarly articles dare to say that Lianzhou is unique, and I invited Liu Xianggong to come to teach you the way to learn. Everyone knows that Liu Xiangcheng is in a derogatory status. According to the laws of the imperial court, I cannot give him the position of an edict, but I allow you to freely ask for advice from this scholar, and I hereby implore you, and I ask you to have a heart of admiration for learning, a heart to seek the truth without omitting, ignore party strife, and ask all the masters of the world for advice. ”

Zhao Xing said this, although the teachings were afraid of party strife. didn't dare to say anything to Liu Zhi, but the teacher's words in Zhao Xing's words still made the teachers nod frequently.

Liu Zhi is so excited!

What is the characteristic of the members of the New Party, those "rule-breakers" who are good at persecuting their own teachers, who teach them knowledge and culture, they reject. If you strike, you will beat the drum and attack it. Wang Anshi is like this, Lu Huiqing is like this, and the little emperor Zhao Xu is also doing the same, and the persecution of his teacher Su Dongpo is particularly vigorous.

They say that they are "not afraid of three things": the sky is not afraid; The people's talk is not to be feared, because they "represent" the interests of the people; The laws (traditions) of the ancestors are also fearless, so they can "do whatever they want."

They seem to "respect holes", but in fact they respect the "holes" that they have tampered with!

But as a teacher. Who doesn't want to go through a "gamble of poetry and wine" and learn articles on their own. Win a loyal student, follow him to the ends of the earth without regrets, even if the fate is bad and the bad luck is at the head, the student will not give up.

In other words, Zhao Xing's current behavior has fulfilled the dream in the hearts of all readers, who dream that they also have such a student. Such a companion? The student is now talking about etiquette. Talk about respecting the rules...... After Zhao Xing finished speaking, the professors looked at Zhao Xing with very cordial eyes. Their frequent nods misled the students. The students did not have many scruples about officialdom, and they began to wonder how to ask the former prime minister for advice after the meeting.

Liu Zhi was a little moved, he still maintained the demeanor of a prime minister, and just nodded lightly in approval. At this time, Zhao Xing had already continued to expand the topic: "What is learning? Everywhere you pay attention to learning. This brings us to the inscription at the feet of the Holy Master ---- Master: Apply what you have learned, and unite knowledge with action.

How to understand these two sentences, I will say two examples: one is Mizhou Deng Yufu.

Everyone knows that Deng Yufu is out of Bennon, which is more complete and detailed than "Qi Min's Technique". This is his knowledge. What does Zhenru pursue all his life---- stand up, stand up, and stand up. Deng Yufu is not only a scholar, he is also a pioneer in applying what he has learned. What he wrote about agriculture is a speech---- recording his doctrine and propositions.

But this is far from the end, when I was in Gyeongju, I relied on him to collect saplings from overseas and make a plan to kill all the plants. In Mizhou---, he opened the largest leather workshop and potato yarn workshop on Hedong Road, specializing in animal skin processing and the production of potato yarn, which is his application of what he has learned, that is, the establishment of true Confucianism, that is: good at running his own family and good at making a living.

Not only that, but he also traveled overseas to find new species overseas---- remember, he was an agronomist, and he searched for new species overseas, which is precisely the field of agronomy. And his search for land species changed the course of a war, which was beneficial to the country and the people, which is to apply what he has learned to lead to the establishment of morality. Those who are beneficial to the country and the people are also virtuous!

What are the benefits of applying what you have learned, Zi said: The world is bustling, and they all come for the name; The world is crowded, all for profit. People live in the world, but the word fame and fortune is the source of people's struggle, and it is also the original driving force for the progress of the whole society. Deng Yufu's saplings were sold to me, we are good friends, and the saplings did not take me a copper plate...... Don't laugh, in fact, I don't blame him, this is what he deserves.

On what basis did he do this? Why am I willing to pay this money ---- copyright law! Doesn't my Great Song Dynasty have a copyright law, and the copyright law of my Emperor Song Dynasty stipulates: whoever creates the book, the copyright belongs to the creator. That is: the benefit goes to the creator. This is called who creates, who owns ---- simple truth.

Deng Yufu went to overseas without hesitation, and he discovered new plants, according to the rules: whoever discovers it, owns it. He was the discoverer, and he wanted to name the plants and trees he found, and I had to let him do it. If he goes crazy one day and wants to name the apple tree as his grandmother's Penghu Bay tree, I can only be him, and the world can only be ---- because he has this power! The power of the right sense!

I know this, he made a lot of money selling me apple trees and Sudan grass. How rich is he? My man went to Africa to buy saplings and said that the farm he built in Africa took five days to ride from the edge to the center of the farm. I don't know exactly how big that land is. But I know that from the edge of Lianzhou, it will take less than five days to ride a horse to the center of Lianzhou---- well, this is the benefit that Deng Yufu has gained from applying what he has learned.

Profit, what about fame? Deng Yufu was commended by His Majesty for supporting the front line in Huanzhou, and he also published several books with detailed atlases of African plants and detailed descriptions of the growth and cultivation techniques of these plants. The knowledge they contain will become our national treasure and will be famous for eternity. It's all about applying what you've learned.

How to apply what you have learned, this requires the unity of knowledge and action. There is knowledge, which needs to be translated into action. This requires us to think a lot. How do you think about it? Let's take my example in Huangzhou: I heard about printing techniques in Huangzhou, and I also saw teachers paint houses with lime. It became the Dongpo Snow Hall. When others saw this, they might have sighed, but I saw that the teacher was in a difficult situation, so I thought of using printing to print words and pictures on cloth and plates.

The unity of knowledge and action is to apply your knowledge to touch the class, so that your knowledge will no longer become dead reading. For example, others only think of printing paper with printing. You can think of printing on cloth and porcelain; Others only think of using lime to paint houses and bleaching mulberry hemp, you can think of using lime as a building material. Build a thousand-year-old castle or bleach paper with lime...... These are the applications of knowledge.

The world is bustling, all for the name; The world is crowded, all for profit---- Deng Yufu deserves both fame and fortune. And I'm ...... Hehe, I'm very low-key, so I won't talk about it.

I've been thinking about it lately---- you all know that I have a lot of people under me. They had offered canvas to Taizu. This canvas has not developed much over the years. But in my hands it immediately became the sail of the ship, and it became the armor...... However. What else can it do?

When I passed through Lianzhou just now, I saw people watering the fields in the fields, and they used bamboo pipes to open up the bamboo joints and water the fields layer by layer. The bamboo pipe is relatively hard, it cannot be bent with the terrain, and the joints are easy to leak, and it is impossible to transport water over long distances if the seal is not good, and suddenly I thought of canvas. This kind of cloth is relatively thick, and the cotton thread expands after absorbing water, which can block the pores in the middle of the part, can't it be made into a water hose?

Although this water hose is also leaky, it is much better than a bamboo pipe, especially this canvas water hose can be rolled up and relocated at will. The joints between the hoses are also easy to deal with, and the joints can be connected with two metal clips, one section is connected to the other, and it can be used for a long time at will, which is not convenient for the people.

The bamboo pipe is troublesome, usually not easy to disassemble, once it is dry and cracked, it will not be used, and the terrain causes the bamboo pipe to be uneven, and the seal is not good to leak. But the water hose is different, it is made of canvas, seamless, can be rolled up when not using the ground, when it is used, it is spread on the ground by hand, and it is connected section by section, and when there is no need for watering, then remove the joint and put it in the room, how convenient.

This is the application of knowledge, which I call the unity of knowledge and action, to put it simply: useful knowledge is true learning--- useful to you.

Knowledge, it should become a weapon to make a fortune in the hands of readers, and it should bring us benefits, and our Emperor Song and scholars ruled the world together and protected the interests of scholars and doctors, which is the natural duty of our magistrates---- I am ready to further expand the copyright law in Guangnan East Road to cover all land creation. Any invention can be applied to the government, and the government will protect your right to benefit from the creation. ”

When Zhao Xing said this, the students had been inspired by his train of thought and whispered underneath. Zhao Xing continued: "Today. I am here, with a grateful heart, to unveil the bronze statue of the Holy Prophet, and to speak these words to you at the feet of the Holy Prophet with awe, let us remember the holy deeds of the Holy Prophet, who spread the fire of civilization to our common people, so that the written word will no longer be the exclusive preserve of the aristocracy, so that our common people will also have the opportunity to master creativity and innovation, so as to promote the development of the country and the nation.

To hell with those rotten Confucians, they will only find chapters and sentences in the pile of old papers, telling us what the saints said more than a thousand years ago---- it is useless. Civilized development embodies creation rather than repetition. We should apply what we have learned, integrate knowledge with action, and show our creativity after learning knowledge, instead of repeating what we said to the ancients, and what the ancients said cannot be contradicted, etc.

That's why I donated this auditorium. This hall is called Zhenzhitang and Mingtang......

Today, my speech begins with a courtesy, why do I talk about the rules first? Speaking of this, I can't help but think of the Xiyuan Yahui, in which Liu Xianggong (Liu Zhi) was present and my teacher Pogong was present, and we hoped to use this gathering to arouse people's attention to the revival of Zhou Li.

What is the Weekly Rite? The Master once lamented: The Zhou Rite no longer exists. Let's lift the fog of history. Look for traces of Zhou Li. The characteristics of Zhou Li are first and foremost feudal. Feudalism can be expressed in thousands of words, but tens of thousands of words boil down to one point: territory. Territorial consciousness brings with it the concept of the domain, and the domain is not an individual. It is a group---- we are all Song people, and the connotation of Song people should include the people of Song Dynasty. It also included the gentry, including kings and subjects...... Of course, there are also various parties: the new party, the old party. Therefore, let us give up party strife and study with an open mind.

Maybe you and I have different parties, but you and I are both Song people. We are one, and we can all be expressed in two words: Song people. So even if you and I are not on the same party. Your point of view is also the point of view of the Song people, and your knowledge also belongs to the Great Song Dynasty. Learning more and asking more questions is the responsibility of a Song person.

Living in this era, it is a happy ---- the son of heaven is a hero, the article teaches Er Cao, and the Zhu Ziyi of the Manchu Dynasty is full of people. This era is not an era of ignorance. It does not advocate smashing and looting. Therefore, this is an era when hat sellers and servants are all reading upwards. In this era, it is not forbidden for servants and hat sellers to become scholars. As long as you read more, learn more and ask more questions, no matter your background and family background, the Son of Heaven appreciates you, the society recognizes you, and the people respect you. This is our time.

Zhou Li also has a feature: the village elders govern the government. That is, the power to manage the people lies with the people and the people themselves. And the official appears as a patron, as an official, the people pay taxes to feed you, and you must protect the rule. Yao Shunyu, that's what the rule of the three generations said. In the present, that is, for the first term of office, you must protect the people under your jurisdiction and benefit one party. This is your responsibility, and your power is to serve the ---- of the Zhou Dynasty, the Westerners call this the obligation of the lord, we call it the gentleman's virtue, we all know that at the Xiyuan Yahui, it is not only the Song people who perform, but also the Japanese people, the Yue people, and the Korean people. The perennial reincarnation of dynasties and wars have made us lose the etiquette that originally belonged to us. That's what it means. The Master didn't know that our rituals were really hidden in other countries, but what he meant by this was that the rituals of other countries are also rituals, and the rules of conduct in other countries are also norms, and when we lose order, we should look around and see what the rules of other countries are, and then learn from them.

Zhou etiquette embodies order, order under the constraints of etiquette and law, such as what should officials do? What should the people do? What should a courtier do to repay the saint? In a word: observe the etiquette. In other words, respecting the rules and ensuring social order ---- all countries in the world do this, although their rules are not called Zhou Li, we can always find the good side when we observe their rules, to remove the essence from the false, and to find the truth.

Therefore, we must be bigger-minded, not only to fit the entire Great Song Dynasty, but also to fit the whole world. The object of our inquiry not only includes the different parties of the Great Song Dynasty, but also includes the Tibetan people, the Yi people, Africa, Europe, and the whole world, and we must apply what we have learned, and integrate knowledge and action......"

The students of Lianzhou Mansion School sent Zhao Xing off the stage with thunderous applause.

Under Zhao Xing's speech, the original Lianzhou edict and the sour, scriptural opening remarks prepared by Fang Cipeng, the scholar of Guangnan East Road, became a pile of nonsense. No language was pale in front of this speech, and those scholars reluctantly came to the stage, opened their mouths and stammered a few words in a hurry, and immediately withdrew.

Therefore, all the glory of this speech goes to Zhao Xing, who here put forward a new idea of doing learning, and he appropriated the language of a school in the Ming Dynasty to talk about the "unity of knowledge and action", but the actual content was completely different from the "unity of knowledge and action" school in the Ming Dynasty.

In ancient times, scholars who started a sect and proposed a new doctrine required a high reputation and the support of a large number of reputable scholars. Zhao Xing brazenly put forward his academic propositions here, but fortunately, most of the scholars present were sour scholars in the "land of finger shooting". They have not studied systematic debate, but Zhao Xing coerced Liu Zhi and Su Shi's might, and then commemorated the Holy Ancestor to talk about true Confucianism. couldn't find a logical loophole, and saw Liu Zhi nodding frequently, shocked by the prestige of the former prime minister, for a while, most of the people present were convinced by Zhao Xing's doctrine.

Although, there are still a small number of people who still have doubts, but that suspicion is extremely weak......

After this speech, Zhao Xingzun's influence spread in all directions like water waves. Month. The famous monk Ginseng sent a special envoy to Huizhou to greet Su Shi. The famous monk Tan Xiu also came to visit Huizhou. Later, Suzhou Dinghui Elder Shouqin also sent his disciple Zhuo Qishun to Huizhou to greet Su Shi. After that, there was an endless stream of students from all over the country who came to Lingnan to visit Su Shi. In addition to Su Shi, there are also a large number of past prime ministers here. The sage made Lingnan a holy place among readers overnight.

Soon, Chen Chen Jichang also wanted to visit Huizhou, but was dissuaded by Su Shifa. Since then, he has been the first mysterious figure of the Song Dynasty and one of the eight sages of the Tang and Song dynasties. Wu Retro, a native of Chaozhou, suddenly appeared in Huizhou again and accompanied Su Shi for many days.

But after the speech. Zhao Xing did not stay in Lianzhou for too long, and as soon as the ceremony was over, he got up to say goodbye without even communicating with the students. When he left, he didn't mention Liu Zhi's placement, and after he left, even the state officials were a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Li Zhiyi was present, and he followed Zhao Xing's topic, pretending to be confused, and placed Liu Zhi in the courtyard as a gatekeeper and a gatekeeper for the distribution of rice, so Liu Zhi settled down like this. He usually guards the gate of the school. Leisure time. Students who came to his house for teaching blocked the roads of the compound, and local officials turned a blind eye to his presence......

Liu Zhi's treatment quickly spread on Guangnan East Road. Zhao Xing talked about "respecting the teacher" in Lianzhou, although he did not mention the teacher Su Dongpo, but the Huizhou officials understood, and immediately, Su Shi was invited back to live in Hejiang Building, which is the highest-level guest house in Huizhou to entertain officials. Subsequently, all localities also imitated Su Shi and Liu Zhidi's resettlement method, and arranged these great Confucians in the vicinity of Fuxue, so that Fuxue students could ask for benefits at any time.

Ancient Chinese is a difficult knowledge to master, there is no pinyin phonetic, if no one teaches it personally, you don't know the words when you see them; And because there is no punctuation, there is an error in the sentence break in an article, and the meaning is completely different. These degraded officials were far higher in terms of learning than the local scholars born and raised in Guangdong, and with their guidance, the "Jiangxi School", which was originally born more than ten years later, was born ahead of schedule.

The "Jiangxi" mentioned in the Song Dynasty actually has the same meaning as "Jiangzuo", referring to "south of the Yangtze River". In normal history, these "Jiangxi School" followed Su Shi as the originator, because Su Shi was a big mouth who didn't care, and he was cautious when others were degraded to the place, and he caught who taught whom, and as a result, he accidentally became the originator of the school.

But now, a little different from normal history, other degraded officials also participated, and these people worked together to make the Jiangxi school even more powerful, so that ten years later, the new party lamented that "Jiangzuo is all the old party's world......

However, this old party is not the old party. Because of Zhao Xing's advocacy, history has taken a slight turn here, and the newly emerged school is often called the "Guangnan School", they pay more attention to the application of knowledge, and they are more pragmatic in doing knowledge, and there is a lot less exaggeration.

This is the best era, because the first country in the world to establish a copyright law was China, just in the Great Song Dynasty---- of course, the last country in the world to establish a copyright law is also China---- in the Song Dynasty, the introduction of modern copyright law, its obstacles are not as thin as a layer of paper. Zhao Xing established the rules of "copyright expansion" here, and he didn't even need to explain it to the Song people, because they all understood it!

Throughout April, Zhao Xing can be described as the "unveiling month", he ran all over the state cities of Guangnan East Road, unveiled the schools in various places, and after running a lap, he returned to Yingzhou, where there is a former imperial doctor, Zuo Zhengyan Liu Anshi, and now "don't drive in Xinzhou, settle in Yingzhou".

Liu Anshi is the imperial history, such an official is degraded, and the emperor generally does not kill them all, so the other party also has an official title and an official salary, although during the period of residential surveillance, activities are not free, but the Great Song Dynasty is particularly generous to officials, and the official salary is enough for his family to spend.

Zhao Xing placed all the degraded officials, but because Liu Anshi's scholarship paid attention to hatred and revenge, Zhao Xing did not dare to let him teach students. thought in his heart that he had an official salary anyway, and he was privately sending some money at any time, so he must have no worries about his life.

When Zhao Xing entered Yingzhou, Liu Anshi was walking on the street, followed by two surveillance van soldiers, he turned east and west, he saw Zhao Xing's horse team, pretended not to know, turned his face and looked at the street scene intently, Zhao Xing hesitated, beckoned to an entourage, and commanded a few words, the entourage respectfully ran close to Liu Anshi's side, and asked: "Lord Liu, my family asked me to ask you: This place is safe?" ”

Liu Anshi twisted his face to the side and replied expressionlessly: "It's okay, I miss him, I also received the new fire of cold food this year, thank you to your family." The entourage had no intention of leaving, and continued to ask: "My lord wants to ask Lord Liu: In the past, they were partners in the same boat, and adults spared no effort to attack and persecute, but now these people live in Lingnan with adults, I don't know if the adults have regretted it in their hearts---- that day (the old party) sailed against the current, and they should not have demolished each other." ”

Liu Anshi was furious, reproducing his demeanor of "Tiger in the Palace", he had to stand upside down, and said in a rough voice: "Impeaching hundreds of officials is the responsibility of the imperial history, I am worthy of the king, worthy of the common people, no complaints and no regrets!" ”

The attendant chuckled and said, "Worthy of the king---- not to mention it." Worthy of the common people---- may I ask, which country's common people are you worthy of? Is Lord Liu worthy of the people of the Great Song Dynasty? At the beginning of the fierce war between Huanqing and Western Xia, Lord Liu impeached the Huanqing soldiers one by one and asked the court to degrade and punish them...... In my opinion, Lord Liu is worthy of the Liao State and the Western Xia! I'm sorry for my Emperor Song! ”

After the entourage said, he turned around and left, Liu Anshi was furious and shouted: "Go slowly---- who are you, you are elegant in speech, not a small soldier." But that Zhao Liren specially sent you to insult me! Do you think that the old man has been demoted, so he can be bullied? ”

The person who came stood still, turned around and arched his hand, and replied: "Xiaguan Guangnan General Hao Mingbai!" Dali Bai Yi also! I've never seen Master Liu before! ”

Liu Anshi still wanted to chase after him, but he saw that the little soldier had already run to Zhao Xing and reported in a low voice, Liu Anshi didn't want to meet Zhao Xing, it happened that Zhao Xing had jumped off the horse to show respect, Liu Anshi took advantage of Zhao Xing's sight to be blocked by the horse, and turned his face into the alley. When Liu Anshi returned home, his wife pointed to a few grain bags and a bunch of copper coins and reported to Liu Anshi: "Su Zizhan's students came just now, leaving ten bags of rice, one hundred copper coins, and the officials ......."

Liu Anshi's wife knew that her husband and Su Shi were enemies of life and death, she was worried that her husband would be angry and refuse these gifts, Liu Anshi also jumped up at first, but he just opened his mouth, and the words blurted out became: "Accept it, Zhao Liren doesn't care about this little money, he has money, why don't I ---accept it if I don't accept it, and I will accept all his gifts in the future, see if our family can't eat him." ”

After seeing Liu Anshi's words, Mrs. was still angry, and persuaded softly: "Now, you and Su Zizhan are both fallen people at the end of the world, and Su Zizhan's students are in power in Guangdong, and they send rice, flour, money, and grain, why don't you send a letter back to the other party to ease the relationship." ”
