Chapter 378: The Confucian Family Through the Ages
The Mizhou General Judgment is the official position of Zhou Shou, the eldest son of Zhou Dunyi.
As early as when Wu Zhi decided to find Zhou Shou to be the spokesperson of the Hundred Schools of Revival Movement, Wu Zhi began to try to correspond with him first.
At the beginning, Wu Zhi naturally put on a long-standing admiration for a great name, bowed down to ask for literary advice and Zhou Shou made normal friends, Zhou Shou also had the style of a gentleman, and soon replied to Wu Zhi's letter, in which he also expressed his willingness to communicate with Wu Zhi, a talented poet, and make progress together.
went back and forth, patting each other silently, Zhou Shou and Wu Zhi actually sympathized with each other.
When two people talk together, if one of them trumpets how good he is in such and such an aspect, he will immediately invite the other person's exposure and ridicule. On the other hand, if one person first says that he is not good or bad in one aspect, then the other person will change the law and praise you for being good in a certain aspect.
After Wu Zhi and Zhou Shou exchanged a few letters and had some friendship, they began to put forward his idea of supporting the revival of the hundred schools of thought in the letter, intentionally or unintentionally, and very sharply pointed out how bad Zhou Shou's idea of belittling his own hundred schools of revival was, and the difference between Zhou Shou's scientific thought and Zhou Dunyi's scientific thought was 108,000 miles.
At this time, although Zhou Dunyi was extremely famous, but he had not yet been respected as a saint, Wu Zhi said this, Zhou Shou really hit the trap, and used several humble words in the letter, and wrote a long article to take the initiative to list the practical benefits of the revival of the hundred schools of thought to Wu Zhi, and even listed his father's various doctrines that were open source in the hundred schools of Taoism......
Relieving Wu Zhi is like relieving a young man who has lost his way in the ideological world.
Wu Zhi wants this effect, since Zhou Shou said that the revival of the hundred schools of thought and his father's science and thought have something in common, Wu Zhi immediately grasped this point, and continued to correspond with him about the revival of the hundred schools of thought and Zhou's science in common, and in the end of the conversation, Zhou Shou really thought that his father Zhou Dunyi's science was to accommodate a hundred schools.
In fact, it is almost the same, the early stage of science is to pay attention to the practicality of learning from things, and although it is dressed in the coat of Confucianism, the core idea is the source of Taoism, Zhou Dunyi's most famous work is "Taiji Tushuo".
The revival of Wuzhi's hundred schools of thought is good on the word "one hundred schools", any kind of doctrine, Wuzhi can climb relatives with it, and the revival of the hundred schools of thought is a practical thing!
Therefore, soon, in mid-February, Wu Zhi gave Zhou Shou a thorough blow in a letter, hinting that he wanted to play a big vote with him in the Great Song Dynasty ideological circle!
Sure enough, although the letter came a little late, but after opening the letter, Wu Zhi was immediately overjoyed, although Zhou Shou did not directly promise Wu Zhi anything, but in the letter, he strongly invited Wu Zhi to meet and talk in detail, which means that things are likely to have a drama!
Mizhou is next door to Qingzhou, it only takes half a day to go back and forth, and the letter agreed to meet three days later, and Wu Zhi has just had nothing to do in the last two days, so he is gearing up at home, preparing to meet this pen pal in three days!
Three days later, before dawn in the early morning, Wu Zhi only took Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, two guards and an entourage, and quickly left Qingzhou City and set off in the direction of Mizhou.
The three ladies Wu Zhi had already consulted with them, and the ladies were very supportive of Wu Zhi's trip, and told him to be careful on the road and wait for him to come back for dinner at night.
Ling'er's side Wu Zhi has also been informed, Ling'er said Wu Zhi, you can go with confidence, the ladies and dolls in your family, she will play with them......
I'm afraid that the four children were played with by Ling'er, Ling'er liked the four dolls in Wuzhi's house very much, and every time she went, she would occupy a doll and hold it in her arms lovingly and refused to let go......
When the morning light was faint, Wu Zhi and his party had already arrived at the border of Mizhou, and at this time they came to a fork in the road, and Wu Zhi had an entourage to guide the way, but he still couldn't help but stop the horse at the fork in the road.
It is a three-way intersection, Wuzhi comes from the direction of Qingzhou, and the other two places lead to Mizhou, and the other is to another famous place in Shandong, Qufu!
- The hometown of Confucius.
The descendants of Confucius, the Kong family is here.
The Confucian family is definitely the most beautiful family in China's thousands of years of feudal dynasties, no matter how the dynasty changes, no matter how turbulent the world is, as long as there is feudal imperial power, the Confucian family will enjoy all kinds of honors and preferential treatment, glory and wealth endlessly.
After the establishment of a set of Confucian ideological systems, Confucius won thousands of years of wealth for his family's descendants!
Even after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the Confucian family still had a transcendent status, and at least the members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference must leave a place for the descendants of Confucius.
The Song Dynasty's culture and education were unprecedentedly prosperous, and there were countless famous Confucians, and the successive prime ministers of the imperial court, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the emperor himself, everyone regarded Confucius as the most holy teacher, so it is self-evident how high the status of the Confucian family in Qufu was in the Great Song Dynasty.
That's an existence that the six thieves of the imperial court don't dare to provoke!
Originally, Wu Zhi wanted to pull the descendants of Confucius to join the ideological movement of the revival of the hundred schools, after all, Confucianism is also a key category in the hundred schools, and once the descendants of Confucius promote the revival of the hundred schools, how can the scholars and doctors in the world oppose it?
But after thinking about it carefully, Wu Zhi dispelled this idea with a wry smile, the Confucian family has been dominant for thousands of years, not to mention that the descendants of the Confucian family will not participate in the revival movement of the hundred schools of thought in Wuzhi at all, wouldn't that be the demolition of their Confucian family!
Even if the people of the Confucian family are involved, with their urine nature of translating the quotations of the saints in everything, sooner or later they will lead the revival of the hundred schools astray, why did Zhou Dunyi and Ercheng create a new Confucianism? It's because I was too pedantic before, I thought that I knew the sayings of the sages, and I read all the sage books recommended by the sages and saw everything in the world thoroughly.
As everyone knows, only when human beings are clearly aware of the "unknown" can they continue to learn, explore, and discover! This is the most fundamental difference between Wu Zhi as a later generation and an ancient scholar, Wu Zhi knows too many unknown things, but Confucianism believes that as long as you read all the Confucian classics, you will master the truth of the universe, and it is not a problem to enter the WTO and govern the world.
This is also the fundamental reason why modern China is far behind the world in later generations, and the Europeans think they are ignorant, so they keep pursuing and exploring. And the Chinese think they know everything, as if everything is explained by the saint in the book, and there is no need to explore anything.
So, it fell behind.
After thinking for a while, Wu Zhi beat the horse and resolutely continued to gallop in the direction of Mizhou, he didn't know why he had so many thoughts just now, it was very chaotic at the time, but this made his head unusually clear again, and he seemed to have an epiphany.
The revival of a hundred schools of thought is the revival of the importance of all walks of life in people's cognition, the revival of the spirit of practical exploration, and more importantly, the revival of the Song people's concept of the world!
There are too many unknowns in this world! There are too many novelty, shocking, and powerful knowledge waiting for them to learn about things!
