Volume 6 Liang Shan Po Chapter 529 [Gewu]

Early the next morning, but seeing that Zhao Fu yesterday, he changed into a parrot green Confucian shirt, and the jade ring and belt on the top of his head were also replaced with jasper, and the whole person came to the pear orchard of the Qingyun Temple early. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that the eunuchs and officials who came today are much less than yesterday, but some businessmen with invitations in hand and big bellies quickly filled the vacancy, and when the forum finally started again, the number of people was about to exceed four hundred, and the entire pear orchard was full.

Huang Jie is still dressed in a robe, but he paid close attention to it before going on stage, and found that there were many familiar figures missing from the VIP seats in the front row, such as Cai Jing and Wang Hao, but Zhao Heng and Gao Yu were still present, Zhao Heng looked at his expression and was really attracted by yesterday's forum, as for the reason why Gao Yu still appreciates the light, it is because today's forum has a lot to do with him.

On the high platform, Huang Jie still made a salute to the people present, so he came to play with the dust and said with a smile: "Everyone, yesterday's topic was based on the word 'world', and I think it should be beneficial for those who came to the meeting!" In this way, I don't talk much nonsense, so I will start today's topic! ”

After speaking, he still climbed the ladder of the Taoist boy to the giant screen, and wrote two big characters in the center with pen and ink: Gewu!

As soon as Huang Jie stroked the dust, he also smiled and said: "There is a cloud in "The Book of Rites and University": knowledge is in the object, and the object is then known. That is to say, if a person wants to cultivate Qi Zhiping and Mingde in the world, this knowledge of 'Gewu' is the foundation and foundation, and it is also the cornerstone of the 'way of the university'. As the saying goes, if the 'object' is not appropriate, the 'knowledge' is not clear, and if the object is not qualified, the knowledge is not clear. Therefore, Sima Xianxiang sometimes commented, saying that people who don't know things and learn are not real, which is really not the meaning of the ancients! ”

Having said this, whether it was a Taoist priest or a well-educated person in the audience, they all nodded secretly and said yes. This Sima Xianxiang refers to Sima Guang, who once wrote the article "Zhizhi in Gewu", in which he explained the meaning of "Gewu Zhizhi": "The University said: 'Zhizhi is in Gewu. 'Ge, Yuhan, Yuya. can defend against foreign objects, and then know the way. Zheng (Zheng Xuan) comes from the grid, or it is still not the meaning of the ancients!"

Sima Guang trained the "character" with "defending" and "royalty", believing that people can only understand the avenue only by defending against the disturbance of external objects. However, his views were clearly influenced by Taoism in his thinking, and he assumed that the meaning of the character "Ge" was similar to the character "Yu", without explaining why the character "Ge" had such a meaning. However, apparently he disagreed with Zheng Xuan's explanation, believing that "Zheng Shuo" did not thoroughly understand the meaning of the ancients, and in fact, Sima Guang's explanation was not the original meaning of "University".

Zheng Xuan (August 29, 127-200), known as Kangcheng, was a native of Gaomi in Beihai (now Weifang City, Shandong Province), a Confucian scholar and master of scripture in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

He devoted his life to sorting out the ancient cultural heritage, so that the study of scriptures entered an "era of small unification". He once entered Taixue to study "Jingshi Yi", "Ram Spring and Autumn", "Three Unification Calendar", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and learned "Ancient Texts and Books", "Zhou Li" and "Zuo Chuan" from Zhang Gongzu, and finally learned ancient scriptures from Ma Rong. After returning from the study tour, he returned to Donglai, gathered disciples to teach, and his disciples reached thousands of people, and his family was poor and studious, and he finally became a great Confucian. After the disaster of the party, he was imprisoned, and Du Men annotated and devoted himself to writing.

Zheng Xuanzhi is mainly based on ancient scriptures, and adopts modern scriptures, pays attention to the group scriptures, and authors books such as "Seven Political Treatises on Astronomy" and "Zhonghou", with a total of more than one million words, known as "Zheng Xue" and "Zheng Shuo", which is the master of the Han Dynasty scriptures.

During the Tang Zhenguan period, Zheng Xuan was listed among the twenty-two "ancestors", deserving of the Confucian Temple, and was posthumously awarded the title of Gao Mibo in the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that this Zheng Xuan can actually be regarded as the founding patriarch of the Confucian Gewu School, so if you want to say Gewu, you can't bypass him.

But after Huang Jie's opening this time, he raised the dust in his hand, but he saw a sudden change on the opening stage, and the giant screen with the word Gewu suddenly moved sideways, revealing a large space on the stage, and then he also saw a Hu man in exotic clothes come to the stage, Huang Jie also smiled at this time: "The poor road is going to talk about today, but it is different from the arguments of the sages, so it is necessary to introduce a person before you, this person was born in ancient Greece, the year of birth and death, about the end of the Warring States period in China to the beginning of the Han Dynasty, named Archimedes." ”

But when he saw the Hu people, he raised his hand to signal, and then turned his back and showed a piece of iron paper on his back to everyone, and the paper was naturally written with the words "Archimedes".

Huang Jie continued: "Archimedes has a lot of anecdotes, but once he said that his lord made a crown out of gold, but he suspected that the craftsman had stolen his gold, so he asked Archimedes to come to discuss, but the crown was as heavy as the gold given by the lord of the country, and it was indistinguishable!" ”

While Huang Jie was talking, Hu Ren on the stage took out a European-style gold crown and a gold ingot to demonstrate, and put the two things on a scale, which was really balanced.

Then Huang Jie also smiled at everyone in the audience: "Everyone, is there a way to tell if the crown has really not been touched by craftsmen without destroying the crown?" ”

Such an invitation naturally caused everyone in the audience to be stunned, but soon there were people who volunteered, and when they saw Zhao Fu, who was all green, he got up and crossed his hands and said, "The students are willing to give it a try!" ”

Huang Jie looked left and right, and saw that everyone was old and serious, so he reluctantly agreed, but when he saw that Zhao Fu took three steps and made two steps to go up to the high platform, he first took the golden crown to look at it back and forth, and then picked up the gold ingot to see, and finally he also held the golden crown and suddenly said to Zhao Heng in the audience: "Brother, this thing is really made of real gold!" ”

Zhao Heng immediately turned his face away with black lines, looking like he didn't know this person!

Zhao Fu looked left and right, and then took the two things in his hand to try to weigh them, and finally he couldn't put them down, and said pertinently: "It's hard to tell just by appearance!" ”

Huang Jie also nodded and said, "Yes, so Archimedes didn't have a solution on the spot, so he asked the lord to resign and go home to find another way." Then, on the way home, Archimedes passed by the soup shop (bathhouse) and took a bath to cleanse himself. ”

It was also at this time, but I saw that there were two bath buckets carried up by the fireworker under the high platform, and they were also placed in the center of the high platform, and then a strong black man who also wore a bearded uniform came up, but when he saw that the man also turned his back, his back was naturally pasted with paper, writing: Passerby A.

Then he saw Archimedes and passer-by A standing next to the bathtub, and they all came to see Huang Jie, and Huang Jie also nodded with him, so Archimedes entered the bathtub first, and when he sat down, he also saw water overflowing from the bathtub, and then the black fat passerby A also sat down in the bathtub, and he also saw that the water in the bathtub overflowed.

Huang Jie also pointed to the two and explained: "So, Archimedes also thought of a way!" (To be continued.) )
