.

At this time, a white-clothed girl with a beautiful complexion stood up, fell and bowed, bowed to the old man, her expression was solemn, her voice was clear and soft, elegant and calm, and said, "Master, just now I talked about Xiang Yu, I want to ask a moral question about dignity. ”

"Well, Nalan, but it doesn't hurt to say that. The old man looked at the girl in the scripture hall kindly, and bowed slightly.

"Yes, Master. Nalan Rouruo bowed to the master again, and said: "Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, defeated the brave Qin army with the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and was later trapped by the Han army led by Han Xin. Xiang Yu saw that the general trend had gone, his heart was like a knife, he looked at his beloved concubine Yu Ji, and sang generously and sadly: 'Pull out the mountain and cover the world, and the times will not pass away. Yu Ji danced sadly, and also wrote a poem: 'The Han soldiers have been slighted, and the Quartet Chu sings. The king is exhausted, and the concubine is not alive. 'Hold back tears and sing. The song counted, and Yu Ji drew her sword to kill herself, so that the overlord had no worries. However, the death of Yu Ji made Xiang Yu even more unwilling to live, so he refused the kindness of the Wujiang Pavilion Chief, refused to cross the Jiangdong, and led the twenty-eight horsemen to charge and kill the Han army several times, in order to prove that 'the death of the sky is not the crime of war', and finally drew his sword to kill himself, leaving a swan song for the ages. Later, a woman praised Xiang Yu's self-esteem as a "scholar" and the pride of a hero, so she made "a hero in life, and a ghost in death." So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong!' poems to mourn this overlord of Western Chu. Master, what I want to know is whether the incident of Xiang Yu's failure had a great impact on the psychology of the world?—— is it this influence that makes the world remember the 'success and defeat', learn to 'unscrupulous means', recognize the undignified life, and also recognize the despicable means, which led to the gradual decline of moral and ethical consciousness? Xiang Yu is a descendant of the generals of the Chu State and represents the spirit of nobility. His character and psychology are embodied in the dignity and pride of the 'shi', and he is a typical 'heroic personality'. 'Heroes' all have some common characteristics: they value morality, have dignity, have self-confidence, are unwilling to rely on the strong to bully the weak, are willing to protect the weak, and are frank and ......straightforward. The true aristocratic spirit is not to flaunt wealth and status, but to cherish one's own noble personality. ”

The old man sat on the futon, pondered for a while, and said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the noble spirit is still retained. Confucius praised the 'gentleman' and despised the 'villain' Therefore, he said a sentence: Only the villain and the woman are difficult to raise. ...... Hehe, he thinks that people don't do it because there is any benefit to being a gentleman, if they do it for utilitarianism, they can only be hypocrites, and being a gentleman is a kind of faith. The original meaning of Confucius's 'gentleman' refers to the aristocracy, and the original meaning of 'villain' refers to the lower class people. Therefore, the spirit of the gentleman is actually the so-called aristocratic spirit, and the heroic spirit is also a form of the aristocratic spirit. On the spiritual level, Xiang Yu replaced Song Yi's non-aristocratic spirit of "martyrdom without sympathy for soldiers" and led the Chu army to join this battle of leveling the world. In war, benevolence is not necessarily conducive to victory, but Xiang Yu believes that it is indispensable. It's a principle, a more human principle, an insistence on benevolence and justice – even if it suffers some in military strategy.

"If we choose to be mean in order to defeat a devil, we are no different from the devil even if we ultimately defeat the devil. In the eyes of people who really have the spirit of nobility or gentlemen, disdain. ”

The old man took the teapot, took a sip on the spout, looked at the disciples in the seat, and continued to preach, his voice was calm and calm.

For example, in the war to aid Zhao, Xiang Yu did not choose to watch from the wall like other allied forces, but led the Chu army to join the battle alone and defeated the Qin army with one and ten kills. Militarily this is certainly not the best strategy, but psychologically, I know that such an aristocratic spirit and bravery have an extremely positive meaning - it makes the character of the Chu people more courageous, confident, and upright, and makes them psychologically healthier. Similarly, for example, at the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu chose not to kill Liu Bang, who was a weak man at the time, and let him go, which in the eyes of the world is a manifestation of Xiang Yu's stupidity. In Xiang Yu's view, it is also undesirable to kill Liu Bang just to eradicate competitors without an act based on sufficient morality. ......”

Nalan Rou thoughtfully, raised her head, looked at the master, and said: "Well, master, I think that when fighting for the world with Liu Bang, Xiang Yu took pity on the suffering of the people in the war, and proposed, 'The Huns and Huns in the world are a few years old, and they are willing to challenge the king of Han to fight the duel, and the people of the world do not have to suffer the father and son of the people of the world', although there is a suspicion of a barbarian and brave man on the rivers and lakes to fight a duel, but at that time, everyone in the world also recognized that 'Xiang Yuren loves people', is this the case?"

"Nalan, your understanding is good. When Xiang Yu failed, he would rather commit suicide than cross the Wujiang River. Is it because he doesn't want to continue to be 'the father and son of the people of the world', and chooses to die? But I think the main reason may be that in terms of dignity, it is impossible for Xiang Yu to let a hero like Xiang Yu run away in embarrassment like Liu Bang, which will hurt Xiang Yu's pride. Xiang Yu's death, for himself, was the death of an individual, but it was an unfortunate disaster for the personality development of the world. Because Liu Bang became the object of people's worship, and the world has since learned to ignore the rules, began to allow themselves to be morally degenerate, and allowed themselves to be undignified, and the world initially learned to give up dignity in order to survive. ”

The old man paused in his tone and continued: "Of course, if a person gives up his dignity, it will be easier to survive. However, for the soul, the former is more valuable than dying with dignity and living without dignity. In Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's war, Xiang Yu was relatively well-behaved, but failed. However, we cannot judge heroes by victory or defeat, and soldiers cannot fail to be resolute, and in a healthy world, war is also about rules. Of course, in military or commercial affairs, for example, the phrase 'strength and weakness, form, form' in "The Art of War: Momentum" is to explain the strength and weakness of troops, which can be disguised by the method of 'showing form', which is also the principle of military dialectics. The experience of military practice shows that war is not only a contest of strength, but also a contest of wisdom. On the basis of a certain material force, to defeat the enemy, we must give full play to the active role of subjective guidance, in the strategy and wits to defeat the enemy, here, we can review the Spring and Autumn Battle of Hongshui, in this battle, Song Xianggong is not not not able to fight, nor is he stupid, although it looks like a joke, but this is the common rule of that era, but war has its own laws, so, now in our opinion, Song Xianggong is bound to fail. Since war is at the cost of the lives of soldiers, it is necessary to follow the laws of war and adopt different methods of 'showing form' in different contents according to different situations in order to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy. The rules of war can prevent war from becoming more degenerate, and it can also prevent humanity from becoming more degenerate. ”

The old man looked at the girl in white calmly and said with a smile.

"For the human world, if everyone basically abides by the rules and abides by a kind of 'scholar' moral norm, then of course, this will better promote the overall development of the human world. ”

Nalan Rouruo looked at the old man and said with infinite fascination, "Master, however, the heroic figure Xiang Yu is dead, and the spirit of 'dignity and pride' that Xiang Yu represents is also dead, I feel very sorry." This is the beginning of the process of the world's bloody loss of courage. Xiang Yu died, but the best elegy for Xiang Yu was written by a woman. When the men in the world laughed at Xiang Yu for not understanding politics, it was a woman who was weak on the surface who knew why Xiang Yu 'refused to cross Jiangdong', which was a dry cloud arrogance that many men did not have. ”

"Haha, Nalan still has the heroism of a man, haha, it's good. Nalan, what questions do you have?"

"Master, no, thank you, Master. After speaking, Nalan bowed to Yichen and sat down cross-legged gently.

Then, a sweet-looking little girl stood up, bowed to the old man, and asked a question, her eyebrows were looking forward to it, and her voice was light and soft.

"Master, I would like to ask some literary questions. Yang Yuhuan has a beautiful posture, can sing and dance, and has outstanding musical talents, and is known as one of the four beauties. After An Lushan rebelled from Yuyang, Tang Xuanzong fled to the southwest with Yang Guifei. During the escape, Tang Xuanzong was forced by the mutinous army in Maweipo and executed Yang Guifei. Bai Juyi wrote "Song of Long Hatred" based on this, saying: Yuyang Mo came agitatedly and broke the song of neon clothes and feathers. People are favored by Tang Xuanzong Li Long's genes Yang Yuhuan is beautiful, and he indulges in singing, dancing and drinking all day long, ignoring the government and politics, and finally causes the Anshi Rebellion, which led to the country hanging upside down at that time, and the people were not happy. Could it be that Li Tang's decline was caused by a weak woman? Could it be that the failure of a strong empire was caused by the beauty of a woman?"

"Ganlu, what is your question? In fact, it is very simple, there are many reasons for the fall of a dynasty, how can a weak woman bear the blame, hehe, besides, how can a woman bear such a result. The old man took a sip of tea, smiled, and continued, "In a patriarchal society, all women are victims, of course, this is the evil of human nature, which is unfair. In order to change this unfair world, we have to practice, so that we have the ability to change this ugly world,—— this is why we have the original intention of being more powerful, child, do you understand?"

"Well, I see, Master, I must learn the skills taught by Master and change the injustice of this world in the future. ...... Thank you, Master!" Manna bowed deeply to Master and sat down on the floor.

"Master, it seems that many of the contents of the "Quantum Force Sutra" and the "Two Meanings Sutra" you wrote are contradictory, sometimes, I am very confused, and sometimes when I read it, I will have Venus in my eyes, hehe. The little furry boy named Fanxiang, who looked a little skinny, stood up, scratched his head with his hand, grinned, and said.

At this time, a younger girl in Tsing Yi sitting on the ground next to her quietly glanced at the little boy named Fanxiang, covered her mouth, and smiled.

Nalan Rouruo, who was sitting at the desk at the back, had a serious face and said softly: "Senior Brother Fanxiang, junior sister Linyi, you two children should be serious, otherwise, you will be punished by Senior Brother again." ”

The little boy turned his head and pouted at Nalan Rouruo, quietly grimaced, chuckled, and whispered, "Senior Sister Nalan, I'm not afraid, hehe." ”

"Haha, silly boy, you can't be blamed for this. This is for the teacher to study in two different directions. ...... I want to ask you a question, did the Emperor of the Holy Realm, who created this cosmic world, play dice, or not?"

"The Emperor of the Holy Realm must be playing too!" said the kid named Amaterasu with a grin.

"Don't play!"

"Who knows, I'm not a roundworm in his belly. ”

......

The children chattered, and there was a lot of noise under the podium.
