PS: There are two more chapters in the evening

"Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin!"

In the Jixia School Palace, Li Si put down Jian Mu in shock, he didn't know how many times he had read this article by Master, every time he read it, he had a sense of sudden awakening, especially the first sentence of the opening paragraph. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Chu is the country that pays the most attention to birth in the world, and the descendants of the surname Mi are naturally nobler than other dead countries, occupying an important position in the government and the opposition, but talented scholars have no way out, so in Chu State, ghosts and gods and the mandate of heaven are very popular, and the good or bad birth, future achievements, are all determined by birth.

However, as Cai Buyi of Chu State, the head of Lu Lane, Li Si is content to be a small official, he has never believed in the so-called mandate of heaven, and believes in what personal efforts can create.

This idea was ridiculed by his fellow villagers, and Li Si was angry, in order not to be a startling rat in the toilet, so he tried every means to worship Xunzi as a teacher, and came to Qi with him.

When he first arrived, he was a little disappointed in Xunzi, this Xuegong sacrificial wine is knowledgeable, but what he tells on weekdays is not essentially different from the ordinary Chu Di Confucian students, although he does not oppose the rule of law, but it is also a heavy courtesy, benevolence and righteousness. He taught Li Si those "poems" and "books", and Li Si was also very interested, and he studied meticulously on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart.

However, today, as soon as this "Treatise on Heaven" came out, Li Si was directly shocked, and he suddenly realized that Xunzi was really very different from ordinary Confucian scholars.

But when they heard that the Confucianism and the scholars used the disasters of heaven and earth to deceive the monarch, they said that the changes of yin and yang in heaven and earth were mysterious and unpredictable, which made people's hearts palpitate, who expected Xunzi to pierce this layer of gauze directly!

"Heaven has its own laws of operation, eternal and unchanging, it does not exist for Yao, nor does it perish for the sake of Yao......"

Muttering the meaning of this sentence, Li Si was inexplicably excited, and he felt that he had found the direction of his study.

But Li Si couldn't help worrying that Xunzi was so outspoken, I was afraid that he would be besieged by everyone.

Xunzi didn't think so, he didn't care that this article had a shocking effect outside, and said with a smile: "I have always been jealous of the politics of the world, and now, the monarchs who are in turmoil in the country continue to appear, they don't know the common sense and the right way, but they believe in Zou Zi's five virtues and auspicious words." ”

Although Zou Zi's original intention was to use the theory of the five virtues of heaven and man to deter evil spirits, he would do whatever it took to distort the facts for the sake of the end, just to meet his own doctrine. He may have been fine when he was alive, but once Zou Zi died, his disciples did not have his erudition and wisdom, but inherited these fallacies, and sooner or later they would become witches pretending to be gods and ghosts, disturbing the world. I once wrote an article that was not the twelfth son, but because of my respect for Zou Zi, I did not criticize the Yin and Yang family, and now I speak out through the matter of Chang'an Jun's rainfall naturalism, which can be regarded as saying what I have endured for a long time, even if it attracts a small group of criticism? Poetry, etiquette and righteousness, what compassion for people's words! “

Xunzi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and sang to the stormy night sky outside: "The sky is not the evil of man, the cold is also out of winter, the earth is not the evil of man, the vast distance is also out, and the gentleman is not for the villain!" ”

……

"The stars rotate, the sun and the moon shine, the four eras are royal, the yin and yang are magnified, and the wind and rain are abundant. All things have their own harmony to live, each to each has its own nourishment, not to see its things, but to see its merits, the husband is called God......"

Linzi Zou Mansion, as soon as Zou Yan's hand was loosened, the silk book fell to the ground, and his nephew Zou Zheng hurriedly picked it up and said, "Uncle, how should this be?" “

Zou Zheng's original intention was not to embarrass Chang'anjun, but he was forced by his uncle's order to allow his disciples to attack Chang'anjun, hoping to force him to ask for reconciliation. Originally, relying on Zou Yan's prestige in the school palace, Yin and Yang, Confucianism, and Mo all joined the siege of Chang'anjun, and they almost denounced the "rain theory of nature" as a fallacy.

The white-haired Zou Yan said, "Good Xun situation! Good sacrificial wine! I thought that after twenty or thirty years of ups and downs, he had learned the art of the golden mean, but who would have expected him to be so outspoken......"

Xun Guo believes that the stars rotate, the sun and the moon shine, and the four times are the inherent laws of heaven, and all things are produced by the gasification of yin and yang, and they are nourished and grown by wind and rain. Mortals cannot see the working process of yin and yang incarnate all things, but only see the result of its incarnation of all things, which is called miraculous. People know that yin and yang have generated all things, but no one knows its invisible generation process, which is called providence.

However, now, there is Chang Anjun to analyze the process of rainfall and present it to the world, and the magic that has been rendered by the Yin and Yang family, magicians, and witches is naturally gone, and the so-called "Five Virtues Always" has no foundation, and Chang Anjun poked a big hole.

Zou Yan didn't want to give up all his hard work for decades, so he asked his disciples to snipe this with all their might, who expected that he had just half pasted, but he killed Xunzi halfway, and his article helped Chang Anjun, and directly tore apart what the Yin and Yang families tried their best to hide!

In the article, Xunzi not only supported Chang'anjun's "natural theory of rainfall", but even meteors falling, trees sounding, solar and lunar eclipses, and unseasonable whirlwinds and rains are also considered to be normal natural phenomena.

In what era, he asked, did these phenomena not occur? If the monarch is wise and politically clear, then there is no harm in these visions, even if they appear in unison; If the monarch is ignorant and politically dark, then even if none of these phenomena occur, the state should decay and decay.

The world is governed by man, not by heaven!

"Uncle, how should it end now?" Zou Zheng has read through the whole text, it is indeed Xunzi's usual style, it is really a reasonable and well-founded, heart-wrenching, and there is almost no weakness that can be refuted.

Although the Yin and Yang family has fallen into an unfavorable situation now, Zou Yan will not admit defeat, in today's situation, whoever admits defeat is equivalent to giving up the possibility of becoming a scholar in the world, he slowly stood up on crutches, and said to his nephew's protégé disciples: "Xun said this, compared to Chang Anjun's nonsense, this is no longer an article, but an article!" “

"This is a text issued against Yin and Yang, Confucianism, Mo, and even the Nine Streams and Ten Schools! The bells and drums have sounded, and the rest can only be solved with the knife of tongue in the debate altar of the school palace! ”

……

And in the Proton Mansion, Mingyue also copied the silk book by hand, looking at the article on the bamboo slip, he once again praised it sincerely: "Xunzi's article is really deafening, as dazzling as the lightning that pierces the night sky!" ”

He praised not only the literary and imposing language in the article, but also the ideas contained in it.

When studying Western history in his previous life, Mingyue had heard of this theory, and the greatest thing about the Renaissance was that it promoted "humanism".

Humanism, advocating that everything is people-oriented, opposing the authority of ghosts and gods, advocating rationality, and opposing ignorance.

After returning to the Warring States Period, he found that this was similar to Western Europe during the Renaissance, the feudal states of the Zhou Dynasty disintegrated one after another, several military powers confronted each other, ignorance and reason were mixed, and heaven and humanity complemented each other.

However, although the previous Confucius and Meng affirmed the preciousness of human beings, when talking about ghosts and gods, they still spoke ambiguously and did not dare to completely separate themselves from the old things. The Mo family believes in ghosts and gods, and when they go to the Yin and Yang family, they are desperately trying to lead people to the will of heaven.

Only Xunzi is different.

The four seasons of heaven and earth have no decisive effect on the stability and chaos of the world, and the changes in heaven and earth such as the stars falling and the sound of the wood are not terrible, but the real terrible thing is the human body, that is, the war and turmoil caused by the emperor's comatose and political sinister.

"Think about it in the sky, and make it with things and animals! Praise it from the sky, and use it with the mandate of heaven! Look at the time to wait, which should be the right time to make it! Xunzi really dares to say it......"

People should not give up their own efforts, and indulge in the longing for the sky, blindly superstitious about the heavens, and submit to fate, it is better to store it as a thing and control it, and use it according to it!

This is a direct denial of the sky above man, and a bit of "man wins the sky" meaning, even Mingyue a modern person does not dare to say outright, Xunzi, the ancient, just said it, it is really a shameful traverser at both ends of the head and mouse.

Mingyue felt really lucky to see such a glorious thought among the hundreds of princes, not to mention, this article also helped him break through the predicament, and his heart was suddenly filled with admiration for Xunzi's knowledge and personality, and the thought of worshipping him as a teacher also poured out again.

He put down his pen: "As soon as "The Theory of Heaven" comes out, it will definitely make many people wake up and realize that my statement is correct, Yin and Yang, Confucianism, and Mojia should be defeated, right?" ”

Gongsun Long, who knew the doorway of the school palace, didn't see it that way, he shook his head and said: "Childe, you and Xunzi have inadvertently split the Jixia School Palace into two halves, and there must be those who have awakened outside, but those who scold Xunzi for being a big rebel are only afraid of more!" “

An interesting expression appeared on his face: "This situation and this scene, the Academy Palace has not happened in fifty years!" The real big debate has just begun! ”
