"This friend sees that you are young, but your words are old-fashioned, and it seems that you are also a person who reads poetry and books!"

Suddenly, a young man came from not far away, he looked like he was twenty-four or five years old, dressed in white and light shirt, and two attendants followed closely.

"Hehe, it's just a feeling, what? Does this big brother disagree? ”

Liu Yuetian asked.

"Are you talking about Gou Jian? Hehe, today's spring rain is coming, I originally wanted to see if there is a beautiful scenery of the "Lingjiang River", but this realm is rare, this rain is so heavy that I will come here to avoid the rain, who will look at him? ”

There was a hint of contempt for Gou Jian in his words.

"Oh? Brother Tai didn't even pay attention to Gou Jian, he must have another judgment in his heart, why don't you listen to it? ”

Liu Yuetian said with a smile.

"Okay, then let me talk about this kind of character, this person just became the king of Yue when the people's livelihood in the country withered, the country of Yue should have been fully developed, but he launched a war regardless of public opinion, and was defeated in a war, in order to redeem him, the country of Yue is even more exhausted, causing the people of the country to suffer damage, this is his unkindness; He was captured by the State of Wu, the King of Wu did not kill him, and did not destroy the Yue Kingdom, and finally let him return to the country to continue to be the King of Yue, it can be seen that the King of Wu was benevolent to him, but he was not grateful, but after ten years of preparation, he destroyed the other party, this is his injustice, such an unkind and unrighteous person, the future generations should spurn it, but the people of later generations instead greatly admired him for lying on his salary and tasting courage, I think the hearts of the people in the world are broken. ”

The man pointed to the statue and talked.

"Well, there's some truth to that!"

Liu Yuetian agreed with the other party's opinion in his heart.

"Brother Ren, how is it? What is your opinion on my opinion? ”

The other party looked at Liu Yuetian with some pride.

"This friend can think benevolently, come to think of it, you should be such a person, right?"

Liu Yuetian asked.

"Haha, what is benevolence? That's not all I'm after. ”

The other party laughed.

"Oh? So what else? ”

Liu Yuetian asked.

"Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, this is the road of the world."

The other party replied firmly.

"Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, the host gets special props, the Confucian classic "Analects".

The Analects, written by the Confucian sage Confucius, is one of the classic works of Confucianism, which embodies the political propositions, ethical thoughts, moral concepts and educational principles of Confucianism. ”

"The Analects? Sage? ”

A large amount of information entered Liu Yuetian's mind, which made him a little stunned.

The other party thought that Liu Yuetian was shocked by his "shocking" knowledge, and then talked eloquently: "This loyalty is loyalty, loyalty to the king, this is the foundation of the world, if everyone in the world is loyal to the king for a lifetime, then the world will never come to this; And benevolence is benevolence and righteousness, being considerate of others everywhere, not putting self-interest first, you see that Liang Ji and other corrupt officials are exploiting the world for themselves, this is unkindness; Filial piety is filial piety, there must be no complaints about parents, even if the parents are wrong, they must be obedient, and there must be no disobedience; Righteousness is righteousness, there is righteousness in the world, you can't go against the current, courtiers can't be disloyal, friends can't be unkind, sons can't be unfilial, this is righteousness, everyone must obey, whoever wants not to obey, heaven will punish them. ”

The more the man spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had mastered the truth between heaven and earth.

And Liu Yuetian is still immersed in the words in his mind at the moment.

Get the Analects, Liu Yuetian has mastered the essence of this book in a few moments, this "Analects" is based on quotations, supplemented by narrative, in which a number of characters appear, Confucius is the only protagonist, and then his apprentices, what Yan Hui, Ziyuan, Ziqian, Bo Niu, Zhong Gong, Zi You, Zi Gong, Zi Lu, Zi I, Zi You, Zi Xia, etc., through the dialogue between Confucius and his apprentices, expound various truths.

"It is worthy of being a saint recognized by the system, this theory is really amazing!"

Even Liu Yuetian, who is far beyond this era, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this book again.

"Learn and learn, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”

Isn't that just a way to tell people about the importance of learning? Even in Liu Yuetian's previous life, science and technology reached the age of going out of the earth, and learning is also an eternal truth.

"If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die."

Isn't this just telling people not only to learn what is in books, but also to think more and apply more.

Liu Yuetian is a scientist, and he knows the true meaning of the sentence better, what is he doing when he learns? Isn't it about applying it to life and making it better?

To expound a truth in a simple sentence, even he can't do it.

"Reviewing the past and learning the new can be a teacher."

This is to make people often review after learning, you can get new knowledge, this is also true, learning can not be done in one hand, you need to ponder from time to time to obtain the true meaning of a theory.

"Chao asked, it's okay to die at night."

This sentence simply speaks to the heart of a scientist like Liu Yuetian, as long as he can get the theory of the great unification of the universe, he is willing to die immediately.

"Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask, threesome, there must be my teacher."

Everyone should be like this, because the individual is always a limited individual, can not know everything, even Liu Yuetian is a high-IQ scientist, in many ways is not as good as a farmer or worker, and at the critical moment, a farmer or worker will play a role more than him, only by learning the knowledge of the other party can solve the problem, don't ask? That's probably a dead end.

The words and sentences in these treatises have touched on the philosophical level of epistemology, which makes Liu Yuetian very inspired, this sage should be in an era similar to this era, and he can recognize this realm, and he is indeed worthy of being a saint, even if it is the Bodhidharma Patriarch, it is far inferior.

In addition, Confucius's understanding of human nature is also very profound, such as the knowing is not confused, the benevolent is not worried, and the brave are not afraid, which shows that when a person reaches a certain realm, his vision will be farther, his mind will be more open-minded, and he will not spend his life in vain like ordinary people.

"The villain is a relative, and the gentleman is frank."

This directly distinguishes the difference between the villain and the monarch from human nature, no matter how much the villain can act, he is always not as magnificent as the monarch in his heart, and the realm of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

But this does not mean that Liu Yuetian fully accepts this Analects, although the book expounds the principle of being a man, although if people follow what they do in the book, they can make the world become peaceful, that is, the so-called golden mean, but if that is the case, maybe people can suffer less from the tribulations of war, but at that time people's minds will also be firmly imprisoned.

What happens when the human mind is imprisoned?

For example, the book tells people to be loyal to the king, but what if the king is mediocre? Do you still need to be loyal to him? Isn't that like a chicken and a duck being slaughtered by each other?

Also, the book says that you should be filial to your parents, which is indeed true, but the book says that even if your parents are at fault, you must obey unconditionally, if your parents die, you must keep filial piety for three years and not leave, which is a bit excessive. The process of human development is a process of continuous negation of predecessors, and only when it is broken and then established can it be reborn.

Therefore, in Liu Yuetian's view, although this Analect is shocking and can be described as an immortal masterpiece that can be circulated for thousands of years, the core content of it is still related to Zhongjun and has the effect of imprisoning people's thoughts, which is also likely to be related to the era in which Confucius lived.

Of course, Liu Yuetian can completely improve this book, remove those loyal and foolish remarks, and what remains is the essence, which can make people open up their thinking.

But this is all an afterthought, the man in front of him is still talking there, this person can have the idea of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and he must not be an ordinary person, but this idea is afraid that he came up with it, Liu Yuetian became interested in this person.
