In the hollow-shaped library, under the wisteria trelis in the middle courtyard of the library, there is a small square table with a few side dishes and a pot of wine on the table. Li Buqi and Sun Yong, Shao Yong and Zhang Zai each took sides, Zhao Min sat behind Li Buqi, Xing'er and Ying'er used a small stove to burn wine, and a large group of talented people sat or stood around to watch. This was the scene of the meeting that was called "the beginning of science" the day after tomorrow.

Because of the large number of onlookers at this meeting, the account is more detailed, and it is generally accepted that the situation is as follows:

People who meet for the first time always like to use people who know each other as a starting point to cause topics, so they talked about Fan Xianggong, and Li Buqi was shocked: "The official family also asked Fan Xianggong to teach, but I saw that Fan Xianggong had a problem with his way of doing knowledge, so I asked for less advice." ”

After saying this, Li Buqi felt a quiet place around him, and when he swept his eyes, he saw that everyone was looking at him in a daze, even his wife.

Fan Xianggong is recognized as a great god, especially when "The Story of Yueyang Tower" comes out, no one can compete with it. You actually said that Fan Xianggong can't do academics? Crazy, right?

Shao Yong looked normal, and asked first: "I don't know what the officials think is wrong with Fan Xianggong's method of learning?" ”

Li Buqi pointed at Zhang Zai and said: "Back then, Brother Zihou was a good soldier, Fan Xianggong appreciated Zihou's talent and learning, but persuaded Zihou to go home to study famous teachings, which is really a mistake." ”

This was said seriously enough, and Zhang Zai, as a party concerned, hurriedly said: "Fan Xianggong's teachings have benefited Zai a lot, how can it be said that he is a misguide?" ”

Li Buqi asked: "I heard that Brother Zihou went home to study behind closed doors after meeting Fan Xianggong." But I don't know that I have gone astray. ”

Zhang Zai hurriedly asked: "Studying hard is the way to do knowledge, and I don't know how to go astray?" ”

Li Buqi said another sentence that knocked everyone down: "Brother Zihou is studying the 'Six Classics', right?" What if I say that most of the 'Six Classics' are nothing more than books? Brother Zihou said, who can only learn Mengshu for more than ten years and can grow? ”

'What?' The Six Classics are mostly written in Meng? Sun Yong and Zhang Zai were so shocked that their chopsticks fell to the ground.

Shao Yong hurriedly asked: "Why do the officials say that the 'Six Classics' are Mengshu?" ”

Li Buqi glanced at everyone and saw that everyone stretched their necks, and couldn't help but smile: "This truth is also what I only understood after I compiled a book of "Three Character Classics" by myself. ”

"There is a sentence in the "Three Character Classic" that 'at the beginning of man, nature is good'. Some people questioned this, believing that this sentence was arbitrary and could not explain many things in the world. This can't be said to be wrong, just because the "Three Character Classic" is a Mongolian book, and children are mentally incomplete, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, so it must be taught with great righteousness, so the first sentence of the "Three Character Classic" must be written like this. From this point of view, the book "Spring and Autumn" is also thought to be the same. ”

Shao Yong asked: "Is the official saying that the master 'sharpens the Spring and Autumn Period'?" ”

"Exactly. After being questioned, I understood the Master's painstaking efforts. At the time of the Master, there were no hundreds of thousands of scholars in the world, and the wisdom of the people was not yet opened, so the Master could only teach him the most basic and simple righteousness. So "Spring and Autumn" is a Mongolian book. Since the master deleted a lot of historical materials from "Spring and Autumn", and only let future generations see what the master wanted people to see, future generations naturally cannot see the original appearance of this history. Later generations can only study this book as a glimpse of the leopard in the tube, what advanced knowledge can be studied? ”

A Xiucai sitting behind Sun Yong asked: "The official only says "Spring and Autumn", but what about the Five Classics?" ”

Li Buqi said: "Let's talk about the Book of Songs first. Han has Fu, Tang has poetry, and I have words in the Great Song Dynasty, all of which were not available when the Book of Songs was written. My Chinese culture is like a child growing up, and the Book of Songs is the language that records the time when this child is babbling. Do you think that anyone can make a good poem just by learning the Book of Songs? ”

Seeing that everyone was in thought, Li Buqi continued: ""Music" is also like this. Now people in the world mostly use pipa and suona, all of which are not contained in "music". "Shangshu" records the affairs of the state and worship. At that time, the country must use chariots for military affairs, and weapons must use spears and bronze swords, which one is still used now? This "rite" is already doubtful, let alone it. ”

Li Buqi looked at Shao Yong: "I thought that the Six Classics were only "Yi" was the 'source of the Great Road', but it was a pity that the ancestors were as profound as the ancestors and cherished ink like gold. Hiding in the study to study, even if you memorize it backwards, it is difficult to understand the reason. ”

Shao Yong nodded again and again: "The official's insight into "Yi" is in line with Yong. It's just that it seems a bit biased to say that most of the other Pentateuch are Mengshu. ”

Li Buqi said: "This is just my family's words. If you think it's reasonable, you will listen to it, and if you think it's nonsense, you should listen to it. ”

No matter how shocking Li Buqi was just now, his attitude of not forcing others to agree still won everyone's favor. Zhang Zai asked: "Since the official said that there is a problem with the method of doing knowledge, I don't know how the official thinks he should do it?" ”

Li Buqi pointed at Shao Yong and said, "Brother Zihou should learn from Mr. Yaofu. I thought that learning should first be done by reading books, then broadening one's horizons, and studying first-hand like a person learning to swim, and finally learning can be like building a tall building. ”

Speaking of which, Li Buqi is ready to carry some private goods: "First of all, let's talk about the importance of broadening knowledge. There is a saying that time passes, that is, people will understand and deal with the same thing differently in different times and different environments. If you can't understand the context of a thing, if you can't put yourself in the situation, you will make a wrong judgment. ”

"Let me start with three anecdotes. I heard this from a merchant who had been trading in Tibet. The merchant said that when the Tibetans met guests staying overnight, they would let their wives and daughters accompany them at night. If there is only one room in the house, the man will pretend to be asleep on the side for the guests to enjoy. ”

"Huh?" "Really?" "Savages!" The showmen were amazed. Li Buqi felt the soft flesh on his waist twist. But he went on to say, "The second one was heard from an old man who traveled to the square. He said that there was a place where people lived in settlements, did not know how to farm, but lived only on hunting and gathering, and people had no selfish wealth. It is customary for the elderly to be carried out into the wilderness by their sons at a certain age, leaving them to fend for themselves. This has been the case from generation to generation, without exception. ”

"Brute!" "What a barbarian!" "Damnation awaits such a man!" The showmen were even more angry.

Li Buqi ignored it and continued: "The third story is told by people from the tribe on the edge of the border. It is said that the Huns are very poor, and they are in a bitter cold place, every time the weather is severe and the livestock die, there is no food and clothing, and there is no charcoal fire for heating, and many people freeze to death in the cold night. So when the cold night fell, the people of the Xiongnu tribe would huddle together to keep warm, with the strongest in the middle, and the old and weak women and children on the periphery. The old and weak are all in the outermost periphery, and they freeze to death overnight, and those who can survive are all strong. Do you say that the Tibetans, the people who don't know where, and the Huns are right? ”

Before Zhang Zai and Shao Yong could speak, the talents couldn't help but shout: "These three are all beasts, so naturally they are wrong!" ”

Li Buqi waited for a while and asked, "Everyone said it was wrong?" Okay, so let's start with the first thing. You should know the original rule of 'no marriage with the same surname' in my middle school, right? Do you know why? ”

Some Xiucai said: "It's against human morality." ”

"Why is it unethical?"

"......" that Xiucai couldn't answer. Another Xiucai replied for him: "Five hundred years ago, it may have been a family." ”

Li Buqi said: "Reasonable. Wouldn't it be better to just be a family? Wouldn't it be better to be close to each other than parents and brothers? ”

None of the talents can answer. Li Buqi said: "Because the children born of close relatives who are related by blood often have disabilities, or are weak and prone to early death. Therefore, in order to prevent close relatives from marrying, the ancestors set the rule of 'not marrying with the same surname'. ”

"If you have been to Tibet, you will know that it is vast and sparsely populated, and you may not see a single family in a hundred miles. That's where the old and the dead don't get along. Even marriages can only be carried out between neighboring families. For decades, several families have been relatives, and naturally they have committed the taboo of close relatives marrying. The outsiders were not related to the local people, so if a woman conceived and gave birth to a child, she could help the people there to multiply the population and ensure that the family would not die. Although this matter seems to be counterintuitive, it is in line with the avenue. ”

"Huh? So? Are the last two things also in line with the road? Youxiucai immediately asked.
