Sixty-one How can you be called a gentleman if you don't know the six arts

Li Bu gave up and released it, Gao Zunyu and they couldn't wait. "Brother, now we are skilled in arching and horses, we have learned half of the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and we have also learned a lot of etiquette and great music, we should teach those poor and sour a lesson, right?"

Li Buqi asked: "Do those poor people still keep their mouths full of the word ancestral system?" ”

"Yes! We are now instigated so much that they love to use the ancestral system to suppress us. ”

Li Buqi said: "Okay! Since you think it's okay, let's do it. Let those poor sour know how powerful the ancestral system is. ”

"Brother, tell me how to do it. The brothers also know better. ”

Li Buqi said: "You go and provoke them to gamble on a game, and it shouldn't be difficult to find out who is a gentleman, right?" Specifically, it should be ......"

Gao Zunyu laughed so much that his jaw almost fell to the ground: "Brother's clever strategy, this is the shield of attacking the son with the spear of the son, I don't know how those poor sours say about the ancestral system." We'll leave it to us to provoke them to gamble, and my brother will just wait for the good news. ”

Four days later, although the weather in May was already very hot, it was crowded with students in the morning, just after the four gates. Simenxue is a national school that accepts the children of officials to study, and there are already a large number of scholars, and the children of Xungui have spread the news that they want to decide who is a gentleman in civil and military affairs in front of the Simenxue, attracting a large number of scholars in the capital to cheer, and the big square is actually crowded.

Today, Ren Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi turned out to be there, Ren Gongzi couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Buqi really appear in the crowd of Xungui's children, and called a companion to give him a few words, and the companion hurriedly went to the back of the four schools to call someone.

Li Buqi saw that it was already three poles in the day, and if he waited any longer, it would be hot, so he asked Gao Zunyu to go to provoke the war according to the arrangement. Gao Zunyu walked out of the crowd and shouted loudly to the civil officials on the opposite side: "It's not too early, are you ready to compete?" ”

The literati had just elected Cui Xianliang and Zhang Zhen, who were known as the famous men of the capital, as the leaders, so the two walked out of the crowd in all directions, saying: "How can you prepare for people who don't learn and don't know how to do it?" Then let the horses come, and we will accompany you if you want to compare poetry and literature, or more knowledge! And we will ask Professor Guozijian to make a judgment, and I will definitely convince you. ”

Gao Zunyu couldn't help laughing when he saw that these literati really thought they were still playing with verbal things: "Okay, then how about we compete according to the six arts of the gentleman in the "Zhou Li" and the number of imperial books in the number of ritual and music shooting?" ”

As soon as these words were shouted, there was silence in the square. Although it is indeed said in "Zhou Li" that the six arts are the basic skills for cultivating "gentlemen", that is, nobles, where are there any real nobles in these years? There are really few people who can play these six arts now, so in fact, whether they know these six arts has long been not the standard for judging gentlemen, who would have thought that today's nobles would compare the six arts?

Cui Xianliang and Zhang Zhen are also staring at each other. Originally, with the arrogance of literati, if they knew the six arts slightly, they would definitely be on it without saying a word, but what is particularly sad is that there are a few items that really can't.

Books are the profession of literati, but the nobles do not all do not read, and it is still necessary to write a good handwriting, so the literati may not be able to overwhelm the nobles in the book.

The literati of the Great Song Dynasty have not completely degenerated to the point where they are powerless, and many people can shoot hard bows, and the level of foot shooting is not low, so they may not be afraid of the nobles in this item.

Although arithmetic is no longer valued by orthodox readers, there are always a few people who study mathematics. But when it comes to the other three, there are tears on it.

Let's talk about this ritual music first, where have civilian families, such as Zhang Zhen and Cui Xianliang, ever seen this thing, and even if they are not high-ranking officials, they will never see what the musical instruments used in national sacrifices and great music look like. But the nobles are going to participate in the national grand ceremonies, at least they have seen it, how can it be compared.

Let's talk about this "royal". Not to mention that most literati from ordinary backgrounds do not have a car at home, and even if they do, they will not rush to catch a car. That's something that a subordinate does, and literati don't usually do it. And this "royal" is not just going to drive, there are also names, which are Ming and Luan, Chasing Water Song, Passing the Jun Table, Dancing Jiaoqu, and Chasing Birds, and even the pedants of the Guozijian are arguing about how to do it, and no one can figure out the specific situation. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty lacks horses, and there are many people who can't ride horses and gallop.

Gao Zunyu saw that neither of them spoke, and his mouth grinned to the root of his ears: "Zhou Li" stipulates that a gentleman must have these six skills, don't you people who think you are gentlemen?" Then please stand down and let those who consider themselves gentlemen come. ”

There was a commotion among the people below, and even several of the country's superintendents looked constipated. Because the two things of etiquette and music are too complicated, they are now handed over to the special etiquette officials and music officials, and even they, the eunuchs of the country, know nothing about it. They didn't know how much these noble children knew about this ritual music, and they didn't dare to speak casually if they didn't know the details. But there are always people who can't see it, and a show jumps out.

"Although these six arts are the way of the ancestors, but now the rites and music are all handed over to the ceremonial officials and music officials, where can we and other ordinary people see it? Everyone knows that my Great Song Dynasty lacks horses, and this imperial art can only be learned by rich and noble families. Wouldn't you be worse than these six arts to deceive our family? ”

When he said this, he immediately resonated with those poor scholars, and many people shouted: "Yes! They just have money in the family to bully me and wait for the poor family! "Is being rich a gentleman?"

The scholars of the Hanmen men shouted, and the scholars of those official eunuchs also followed suit. Anyway, there are many of them, and they can suppress the children of the nobles by making loud voices.

If Gao Zunyu had been cowardly in the past, but today he was so confident that he just smiled and watched the literati coax, until their voices were a little quieter, and then shouted loudly: "You guys are so chaotic, what a rabble!" Can't even elect someone who comes out to speak, and dare to consider himself a gentleman when doing things like this? What a joke! ”

At this time, Cui Xianliang and Zhang Zhen came out again after discussing with others and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" The two of me were elected by everyone! We are all from poor families, and we can't compare to your family's wealth, but you are just a trick to bully others. Who can say that a poor family cannot be a gentleman? ”

Gao Zunyu said: "But the six arts of the gentleman come from the "Zhou Li", and the master said, 'Yu Yu Wen Zai Wu from the Zhou', then the six arts of the gentleman are the ancestral system for Confucianism." Could it be that the two of them didn't learn Confucianism, or did they say that they didn't want the ancestral system? ”

Confucianism pays attention to "righteousness", if you admit that you are not learning Confucianism or do not want the ancestral system, then the future is over. Neither of these two big hats could hold up, and the two scholars suddenly opened their mouths again.

The literati all felt that they were the most powerful, and when they saw that Cui Xianliang and Zhang Zhen couldn't think of words, they were extremely dissatisfied, and immediately stood up and shouted: "A gentleman should have noble morals, and specific skills are secondary!" ”

Gao Zunyu said: "The master said that the holy king edifies his subordinates with ritual music, but those who don't know etiquette and music dare to say that they have been indoctrinated? Wouldn't it be a joke if such a person was a gentleman! The teachings of the sages, don't you want the Confucian ancestral system? ”

Today, Gao Zunyu can be regarded as brilliant, no matter what reason you have, he insists that the six arts of the gentleman are ancestral systems and cannot be changed, so that a group of literati have nowhere to speak, and even the Guozi Supervisor does not dare to speak easily. In the past few decades, whenever he has the opportunity, he will mention the glorious history of the Confucianism of the tongue war, which is more worthy of showing off to him than the accumulated military exploits in the future.

Of course, the literati will never admit defeat easily, only insist that the nobles bully the poor and do not let go, so the debate will not be able to come to a conclusion, seeing that it is almost noon, both sides are wilted, and the Guozi Supervisors and Priests hurriedly came out to announce a temporary truce for everyone's health.

After all, there are many literati, and it is too difficult to get them to admit defeat. But on the other hand, if the literati cannot achieve an overwhelming advantage, they will lose. In the future, the martial artists can deny that the literati are gentlemen because they do not know the six arts, and level the two sides to the same level. In addition, with the urine nature of the literati, it is estimated that they will not stop when they start a fire, maybe there will be some kind of radical moth, and Li will wait for someone to fall into the pit.

Now that the expected effect has been achieved, Li Buqi also recalled Gao Zunyu, who was dry-mouthed, and prepared to withdraw his troops. But at this time, suddenly Ren Gongzi walked out of the crowd opposite: "Li doesn't give up!" Taking advantage of the gathering of scribes in the capital today, let's explain the matter of your copying of the public! ”
