Decades later, when people mention Nan Huaijin, they have to call him a master of Chinese studies.

This gentleman has three cultivations of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and has a wide range of knowledge, and his path is very wild, but he is also appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, and he is extremely influential among the general public, and has made great contributions to cross-strait peace. The third secret cross-strait talks before the formal negotiations on the "92 consensus" were held at Nan Huaijin's home, and the specific date for the formal talks was also proposed by Nan Huaijin.

Although Nan Huaijin later served as a professor at many universities, he definitely had nothing to do with the top students. Even because of her poor math scores, Nan Huaijin had the lowest graduation grades in primary school and could only get a certificate of completion.

However, when Nan Huaijin had not yet graduated from primary school, he was already familiar with "Zizhi Tongjian". At the age of 18, he read the "Siku Quanshu", at the age of 20 he read the Taoist classics, at the age of 26 he read the "Tripitaka Sutra", and at the age of 28 he read the "Yongle Canon" and "Siku Beiyao...... He has dabbled in many things in his life, and he has no specific master, and most of the time he relies on his own enlightenment. Therefore, his path is very wild, and his interpretation of the classics of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Buddhism is purely deviant in the eyes of many people.

During the period of studying traditional culture on his own, Nan Huaijin also studied in many schools, such as the Zhejiang Guoshu Museum, the Guoshu Special Class of the Zhejiang Academy of Arts, the Political Research Class of the Central Military Academy, and the Social Welfare Department of Jinling University.

At this time, Nan Huaijin had just turned 22 years old, was an avid martial arts enthusiast, and even obtained the qualification of martial arts instructor. He now serves as a political instructor at the Chengdu branch of the Central Military Academy and studies social welfare at Jinling University, but his main focus is on seeking Buddhism.

Zhou Hexuan and Nan Huaijin should have a lot in common, because his understanding of Buddhism and Taoism is also wild, and some of his views are quite inspired by Nan Huaijin.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Sword Immortal Li Tonglin has no realistic prototype. If you insist on finding one, then it can be considered Sword Immortal Lin Jinglin, when I created the comics, the picture was cheap, and I slightly modified the name of Mr. Li Jinglin. ”

Nan Huaijin asked, "Is General Li really that powerful?" ”

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "He has outstanding swordsmanship and powerful fist and foot skills, but that's all." If you really want to talk about actual combat, he will definitely not be able to beat Wan Laisheng, I mean that when the two are at their peak, they compete with their fists and feet. ”

"It's a pity." Nan Huaijin is very regretful.

Zhou Hexuan suddenly felt very bored, if he faced 40-year-old Nan Huaijin, the two would definitely have a lot of topics to talk about. But 22-year-old Nan Huaijin is too immature, she has never read many books, let alone formed her own thoughts, just a very smart young man.

Nan Huaijin is full of interest, he likes to visit celebrities everywhere and learn from these seniors, and Zhou Hexuan happens to be a very suitable learning object.

"Does Mr. Zhou have any research on Taoism?" Nan Huaijin asked.

Zhou Hexuan said: "I can't talk about research, I just read a few Taoist classics. ”

At this time, although Nan Huaijin had begun to study Buddhism, he was more obsessed with Taoism. He was not polite, let alone embarrassed by Zhou Hexuan's fame and status, and even asked a question: "What does Mr. Zhou think is the difference between Confucianism and Taoism as a hermit?" Was Confucius's hermit thought influenced by Lao Tzu? ”

This is a question that ordinary people really can't ask.

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "Whether Confucius was influenced by Lao Tzu, I'm afraid I can only ask Confucius himself." As for the hermit thoughts of Confucianism and Taoism, except for those who are obsessed with cultivating immortals, there should be no difference between the rest. Their purpose is to save the world, but in different ways. Taoist hermits advocate taking advantage of the situation, softening all things, living in mountains and forests and moistening the world; Confucianism actively entered the WTO, and only retired as a last resort, and after retiring, he still wanted to be the 'prime minister of the mountains'. ”

Nan Huaijin concluded: "A gentleman will drive when he rides, and if he can't do it at the right time, he will be tired to walk? ”

This is what Lao Tzu said to Confucius, which means: The eldest husband will go up when he has the opportunity, run if he doesn't have the opportunity, and usually cultivate himself and lurk, so he can advance and retreat freely.

Zhou Hexuan added: "There is a way in the state, and dangerous words and deeds. There is no way to do it, and it is dangerous to say goodbye. ”

This is what Confucius said to his students, which means: If the country has a way, then it should be bold to do things and speak boldly, and if the country has no way, then it is necessary to work hard and speak carefully.

Nan Huaijin asked again: "In today's world, is there a way or no way?" Should you ride the time, or should you be tired? ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "What the son says, his person and bones have decayed, and his words are in his ears. ”

This is also what Lao Tzu said to Confucius, which means: The bones of those who advocate it are rotten, and as long as their thoughts are still there, don't stick to it.

Nan Huaijin said: "His words are in his ears, and they are also the words of Jinshi." ”

Zhou Hexuan was too lazy to hang his bookbag anymore and said: "Today, unlike the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the rise of nationalism has made the concept of the country and the nation deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And Japan's aggression against China is not like the Warring States Rivalry. The National Government certainly has shortcomings of one kind or another, but the hermit mentality must not be there, because it is the bounden duty of every Chinese to rise up to resist the war. ”

Nan Huaijin said: "I don't have a hermit mentality, but I am not used to many things at the moment. Before Mr. Li Zongwu left Chengdu, we often met in Shaocheng Park, and he scolded the current situation very fiercely, and I deeply thought so. Therefore, I am very conflicted now, on the one hand, I want to serve the country with blood, and on the other hand, I hate some of the actions of the government, how should I deal with this? ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Didn't Confucius speak? There is no way to do it, and it is dangerous to talk and do more.

Nan Huaijin was surprised and said: "This is how the dangerous words of Sun explained? Many people understand it as 'keeping one's character high and being humble'. ”

"You care about it so much, what you think is right, that's right, don't believe any authoritative interpretation." Zhou Hexuan's understanding of Confucian culture is also a wild way.

Nan Huaijin said with relief: "Mr. Zhou is right, there is no need to be superstitious about authority. ”

Zhou Hexuan suddenly said: "By the way, you just said that you know Mr. Li Zongwu?" ”

Nan Huaijin smiled: "Of course I know, I met every day for a while." He especially likes to scold the government and bureaucrats, and he doesn't stop scolding, and we don't even have a chance to interject. ”

"Is Mr. Li still in Chengdu now?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Nan Huaijin said: "He went back to Zigong to live in seclusion. Last year, President Jiang read "Thick Black Studies", denounced Mr. Li's moral corruption, and ordered him to be arrested, but fortunately Wu Zhihui escaped with his intercession. ”

Zhou Hexuan laughed: "With President Jiang's morality, it's strange not to hate thick black learning." Maybe this book writes about his dark side, and there is a strong sense of shame that his privacy has been revealed. ”

"Maybe." Nan Huaijin couldn't help laughing.

In fact, Li Zongwu's book is not only "Thick Black Studies", but also the "Trend of Chinese Academics" four years ago is very interesting. The former belongs to philosophical books, and the latter to scholarly works. From the perspective of ideological and academic level, "The Trend of Chinese Academics" is ranked first in the Republic of China, and one of the articles, "The Taoism of Song Confucianism", was a strange text at that time, which devalued Song Confucianism as worthless academically.

In addition, Li Zongwu also wrote articles on practical issues, such as "Constitution-making and Anti-Japanese Resistance", "My Views on Social Issues", "My Views on Political Economy", and "Discussion on the Examination System". It's a pity that the world only remembers his "Thick Black Learning", and only knows that he is the Thick Black Sect Leader Li Madman.

Nan Huaijin suddenly said: "If Mr. Zhou wants to see Mr. Li Zongwu, we can go on the road together, I am just going to Zigong." ”
