Chapter 4 How to solve the problem
Li Chengqian paused for a moment, without pause, no, in fact, his mouth was dry for a long time. Alas, there is no place to sit and no one cares for oneself.
"In fact, thinking from the most fundamental, to put it bluntly, there are only four words, learning from things. The so-called Gewu is to find and understand the basic laws and inner laws of the operation of the world and the changes of all things. The Tao is divided into yin and yang, and all things in the world are divided into yin and yang, yin is the body, yang is the use, and the body is the essence, structure, and characteristics. Use is the role, function, ability. The body is combined with the body, and the body is deduced for my use.
The books of the ancient sages point out various methods of inquiry, exploration and understanding. ......, only by understanding these can we be enlightened, and knowledge is to let ourselves understand and increase their wisdom, Lao Tzuyun: Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. ……。
In this way, we can be sincere and upright, further cultivate ourselves and our family, so as to achieve the governance of the country and the world. Otherwise, it can only be a bamboo basket to draw water, and the mirror flowers and water moon.
Everyone reads the scriptures, but they can't know the fundamentals. This has also caused turmoil in China for thousands of years. Because we don't know what to do, there's no point in talking about anything else. Losing the root, this is forgetting the roots, don't you know, the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached. ”
There was a bang, a cup fell to the ground, and the stone was shocked, only to hear a heavy breath, and then to hear no other sound. It's really irrepressible for this kid to say. Since ancient times, learning from things has only been a concept, but there is no specific elaboration, which has also become a hurdle that is difficult to overcome in the study of the classics. Now that it has come out of this child's mouth, how can it not be shocking?
Li Chengqian's belly slandered, this can't hold it? I haven't told you about the concept of Marn Mao Deng yet.
"Dare to ask Lang Jun, Gewu Zhizhizhi, which book has a specific explanation." Fang Xuanling stood up and bowed.
"I Ching", "Laozi", "Mencius", "Guanzi", "Liutao", "Mozi", "Han Feizi", "Sun Tzu", "Wuzi", "Guiguzi", "Xunzi" and many more are not listed one by one. Li Chengqian replied with his hands crossed. In fact, the princes may ask, how can many books be read because they are not scriptures? Actually, I already answered it in the previous question. Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good. Think about it, what did Confucius do when he read a lot of books, sought teachers everywhere to study, and traveled around the world? ”
Everyone was lost in thought and was silent, can the exam continue? Just as Li Chengqian was about to speak, he saw a person standing up.
"Lang Jun's remarks are really deafening, thought-provoking, and make us ashamed, since Lang Jun's knowledge has been completed, there is a certain question, what is the meaning of the word 'learning'." Wei Zheng stood up and said.
Li Chengqian's face remained unchanged, but he was irritable in his heart, and there was no end. You traitor who betrayed the Lord and defected to the enemy, as soon as Li Jiancheng died, you took refuge in Li Shimin, and according to Confucian teachings, you are a villain. Do you know that if you die, Li Shimin will not let you go, smash your tombstones, and let you die in peace. But look at your pitiful and admire my appearance. I don't care about you, I want to remind you, in order to change everyone's concept, let's plant a seed for you first.
"Wei Gong praised it, Cheng Qian has a little experience, the so-called knowledge, first of all, the key is to ask.
In this world, people who are scholars in this world, but whenever they have achieved a little success, they will say, I know, I understand, I have found it, I have found it, in short, through learning, I have a fixed opinion, and I am very satisfied with my achievements, which is a good thing.
But after that, most people will change immediately, as if they have mastered the truth of the Great Dao, and if other people's concepts and ideas do not agree with each other, they will attack each other, talk and debate, and even frame and retaliate. These people are afraid that others will say that they are ignorant, and they always want to overpower others, so they must stick to the rules and never take a step forward. Why? That is to lose the question, so that the good becomes the bad.
There are three levels of learning for people, first, knowing oneself, which is the least part; Second, knowing one's own ignorance, which is a little more, and third, not knowing one's own ignorance, which is the most important part, and the most terrible thing to do for others.
To do learning, the first thing is to admit that you don't know, don't care about the leopard, the blind touch the elephant, don't know how to pretend to understand, far-fetched to explain, or be ashamed to ask, not only ask others, ask everything, but also ask yourself, ask yourself clearly, ask what you understand, what you don't understand, how to make your own ignorance become knowing,......。
This is actually what I mentioned earlier, taking people as teachers, learning from things, and if you want to know, you must learn from things. I hope that the public will think deeply. ”
The hall was silent and the atmosphere was dull. After a long time, there was still no squeak. Li Chengqian was also a little apprehensive in his heart after speaking, it couldn't be that my remarks hurt your weak hearts.
Du Ruhui couldn't sit still, got up and bowed three times and said: "A certain has been taught, Lang Jun is talented, he can be a teacher, I don't think there is a need to take the test later." What do you think? ”
Seeing that everyone frowned and pondered, Li Shimin said: "Gao Ming, go down, I want to discuss with the princess." Li Shimin smiled, not to mention this comfort in his heart.
Wei Tietou was deflated, his son won glory, and his father showed his face. After listening to these remarks, he couldn't calm down in his heart, and he knew that it was pointless to take the test again at this time.
"Son retirement" Li Chengqian bowed down and said goodbye and left.
"What do you think of the prince," Li Shimin turned to everyone.
Du Ruyan stepped forward, "Tell everyone, Confucius Yun: Those who are born to know are superior, and those who learn are inferior." The prince has a strategic mind and can be used. "If Li Chengqian hears this, he will definitely think, why are you so smart? You're really my confidant.
"Then, from tomorrow onwards, let the prince hear the lawsuit."
(Ordered the crown prince to listen to the edict)
The crown prince should be ordered to hear the lawsuit, and he is hereby hidden. From now on, the complainant only has a person in Shangshu Province who is not subdued, and he will go to the East Palace to make a decision. If there is stubbornness now, it is inexhaustible, and then it is heard.
"Seconded" everyone moved forward in unison.
"All the princes go back and rest." Li Shimin got up, hummed an unknown tune, and staggered towards the queen's residence.
Wei Zheng frowned, his face was a little ugly, and the other five shook their heads, smiled at each other, and left one after another.
……
Soon, the young prince's talent spread throughout Kyoto.
In the prince's mansion, Li Chengqian was lying on the table, drawing back and forth on a piece of paper, and the admiring Zhen official ordered Tao Yuan to stand aside. After a while, a picture of a pottery stove and a pottery chimney appeared in front of the two of them. "Can you make it?" Pointing to the pot-bellied stove, he looked at Tao Yuanzheng. Tao Yuan was looking at it for a long time: "As long as it is pottery, it should be no problem." Can I change the size? ”
