Different from the theaters of Greece and Rome in the West, the debate altar of the Jixia Academy Palace is similar to the stage of later generations, a small platform raised above the ground, on which two people can sit opposite each other, and the people are in a circle, the people in the front row have mats to sit, and the people in the back have to stand.

Looking back at the crowd that gathered one after another with the sound of the bell, Xun Qian, the sacrificial wine of the Jixia School Palace, sighed: "The debate in Jixia has not attracted so many people to watch for a long time. “

Zou Zheng said: "I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand people, in addition to the gentlemen and scholars of the Academy, many people in Linzi City who heard the news also came here, after all, Gongsun Long is a famous master, and it is Dongfang Zhimo who challenges him." This long-lost debate reminds me of the debate between the good and evil of human nature with Mencius's disciples more than 20 years ago, when the sacrificial wine was still a young scholar. ”

You must know that more than 20 years ago, Mencius can be called a generation of scholars in Qilu, although he was deceased at that time, Meng's Confucianism is still Confucianism. At that time, Xunzi brazenly put forward the theory of sexual evil, which was contrary to Mencius's "theory of sexual goodness", which caused an uproar, and what is even more rare is that he also defeated Meng's Confucianism in that debate, laying the foundation for his academic status today.

Xun Jing smiled: "I don't dare to mention the courage of the year, I just want to know, what will Gongsun Long argue with the Mo family today?" ”

Zou Zheng stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one: "The debate under the Ji, in addition to the good and evil of human nature, is nothing more than the debate between Confucianism and Legalism, the debate between heaven and man of Confucianism, the debate between Confucianism and Guanzi, and the debate between Confucianism and Guanzi, in addition to the debate between the soldiers, the debate between the name and the truth, and the debate of the origin of the world, Gongsun Long and the Mohists, probably still have to argue the name and the truth......"

At the end of the words, I saw a commotion in the crowd, but it was an old man with Qiu Brown as his clothes and clothes as his clothes, and he was walking with a cane, and with the assistance of his disciples, he separated the crowd and slowly stepped onto the stage, this is Chen Qiu, the representative of the Mo family under Jixia. He held a bamboo book in his hand, which was a representative of the Mohist school, calling the writings left by Mozi and his disciples the Book of Ink, which was as important to the Mohists as poetry, books, and Analects were to Confucianism.

His disciples also proudly distributed some fragments of the ink scripture copied by the wooden slip to the scholars present, for each Jixia school, the debate is a good opportunity to expand its influence, but the scholars also have their own teachers, or wave their hands to refuse, or take a casual glance and pass it to the people next to them, but hidden in the crowd, Chang'an Jun, who has not yet identified himself to the sons of Jixia, took it and looked at it seriously.

The wooden slip he received was called "Kotori", which is about the debate and logic of the name and the truth, after reading a few paragraphs, Mingyue couldn't help but gasp, although there are no Gongsun Long's works full of flowers, but this is also a relatively complete logical system, the Mohists divide the form of thinking into "name, word, say", and logical reasoning is divided into "therefore, reason, class", which is equivalent to the concept, judgment, and reasoning in traditional Western logic.

Unlike Gongsun Long, who starts with special examples, the Mojing first lists the logical concepts of similar formulas, and then extends them to all things, which is simple and unpretentious.

After reading it, he couldn't help but sweat for today's Gongsun Long's debate, this Mohist debate is really the nemesis of famous people, and the sophistry in the past is not practical.

Thinking like this, Mingyue handed the wooden slip to the girl next to her who was dressed as a man and thought that she had not been recognized, but she shook her head.

"You don't want to see the Ink Sutra?"

"With the argument of solidity and whiteness, and the corresponding words of odd and even, this ink scripture is no longer Zi Mozi's ink scripture, but has added too many things from later generations, Qi Mo has also deviated from Zi Mozi's path very far, this kind of apocrypha, don't look at it!"

Mingyue Qi said: "The ink of the East deviates from the original intention of Mozi, can it be said that the ink of the West and the ink of the south are orthodox?" “

Tian Jia said: "Qin Mo entered Qin, failed to persuade the Qin State to attack and kill, as for Chu Mo, reciting his words, deviating from his reason, doubling the difference, accusing each other of being other ink, he is the real ink, but in my opinion, the ink of the East, the ink of the West, the ink of the South, are not true ink." “

"What should true ink look like?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Tian Jia's eyes: "In this world, the true ink who can really rush people first, and take non-aggression and love as their own responsibility, has disappeared." “

At this moment, Gongsun Long has not arrived for a long time, Chen Qiu is also on the stage with his eyes closed and recuperating, and the following is crowded with scholars, although there are still some gaps between each other, but it is still very noisy, but Tian Jia is in it, although he frowns slightly, his green clothes are clean, his long hair is like ink, and he really has a feeling of white dust. Just sat there simply, but felt out of place with the surrounding environment, Mingyue looked at it, and four words suddenly popped up in her heart, elegant to the bone.

"There is something to be done after all......" He withdrew his gaze before Tian Jia blushed and got angry, smiled disapprovingly, handed the wooden slip to the others next to him, and took another piece to read.

This time it was a part called "The Scriptures", in which he was pleasantly surprised to see the small hole imaging and the principle of the back lever that he had learned in physics class......

At this moment, there was a commotion on the field again, and the people in front whispered backwards, "Gongsun Long is here", and the people behind stood on tiptoe, wanting to see what this famous grandmaster looked like when he could make the gentlemen of Jixia attack him in groups, and he had to drive him out of the school palace quickly.

They were probably going to be disappointed, Mingyue and Tian Jia in the front row could see clearly, Gongsun Long was dressed up from the past, and his appearance was not amazing, but the curtain on his head was replaced with a striking red color, and after getting on the debate stage, he caught a glimpse of Chang Anjun in the crowd, and nodded with him with a smile.

At this time, Chen Qiu, who closed his eyes and recuperated, was no longer sleepy, and said loudly: "Zi Mozi Yan, the debater, will distinguish between right and wrong, judge the discipline of chaos, clarify the similarities and differences, investigate the truth of the name, deal with the interests and disadvantages, and decide the suspicion!" Mr. Gongsun, your famous family confuses the name and truth with the theory of white horses and non-horses, and confuses the public, and our ink disciples will work hard to correct it! “

After a few words, the disciples of Moxue under Jixia clamored and applauded, as if they regarded Gongsun Long as an evil heretic, and Chen Qiu was a decent person who surrendered him in one fell swoop, which happened to meet the core of Mohist thought, "Benefit the world, remove the harm of the world!" ”

Gongsun Long didn't take it seriously, and over the years, he had heard less of the more ugly scolding?

He laughed: "Clerk Chen, I heard that Mozi lectures and lobbied, and never uses flowery words to express his own ideas, lest future generations only remember the article and forget the meaning to be expressed. “

"Zi Mo Ziyan, a disciple of the disciple, can talk about debate, can tell storytelling, can engage in engagement, my Mo family is not like a Taoist, do not take great debate as a sneer! Being able to speak well is the quality of a virtuous man! ”

Seeing Gongsun Long's eyebrows move, Chen Qiu added: "Of course, except for sophists. ”

Gongsun Long spread his hands innocently: "I haven't said a word yet, why is it considered sophistry?" ”

"Hey, famous people, it's always been like this, why listen to it."

"If the previous actions are to be counted, Mozi and Yu Huali have both studied Confucianism, and they can be regarded as Confucians?"

"Mr. Gongsun needs to say more, you and I just need to have a good debate about the white horse and the non-horse today, and we will see for ourselves." Chen Qiu's face was gloomy, as if he was trying to argue with Gongsun Long.

However, Gongsun Long didn't come today to quarrel.

He smiled and said loudly: "As soon as I returned to Jixia, I wanted to reflect on the side of Shen Chi, but I immediately received countless challenges, and among them, the Mo family was the most, but Mr. Chen wanted to argue with me about white horses and non-horses, and this question no longer had to be debated in Zhao Guoshi, which had already been cracked." ”

"What!" As soon as this remark came out, not only Chen Qiu was shocked, but even Mr. Xunzi and other gentlemen in the audience were slightly stunned, and everyone was even more discussed, discussing who cracked the "fallacy" of white horses and non-horses.

"But that doesn't mean it's wrong."

Gongsun Long glanced at Chang Anjun in the crowd again, and didn't care about Chen Qiu, raised his head and said: "Today, I am on this debate platform, not for debate, not for the division of victory and defeat, but only to personally dissect the theory that white horses are not horses, and from today on, this theory will be eliminated from the debate and replaced by it...... It is a truth that no one can deny, a truth that will never be changed! “

Boiling, the entire debate platform up and down, the entire Jixia School Palace is boiling!

Whether it is Chun Yu Bun or Mencius, although there are countless self-righteous people, no one has been arrogant enough to claim that he wants to put forward some "eternal and unshakable" truth.

In addition to setting off an uproar, Gongsun Long competed, and his disciples who had been waiting for a long time walked up with a large black wooden board and put it on the wooden shelf, while Gongsun Long rolled up his sleeves, took out a white thing from his coat, brushed it on the black-painted wooden board, and wrote a string of seal characters and symbols under a surprised gaze......

Only Mingyue knows that the board is a blackboard, the pen is chalk, and the string of seal characters and symbols is a concept called "set theory"!
