Zheng Xuan's reputation can be said to be thunderous today, this person has annotated almost all contemporary Confucian classics, including the words of many families, deleting and cutting complicated, correcting and missing publications, and choosing the good and following them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info You must know that in the Han Dynasty, many classics are taught by teachers without annotations, unless it is the scholarly family of the four major families of Yingchuan, it is very difficult to receive a complete and systematic Confucian education, after all, not every teacher's understanding of Confucianism is completely correct, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions.

Even the four major families of Yingchuan combined were only proficient in a few or a dozen classics, far from being proficient in all the Confucian classics at that time, but Zheng Xuan did this. He has summarized almost all the Confucian classics that can be found in contemporary times, not only the earliest "Analects" and "Classic of Filial Piety". There are also Mencius, Xunzi, and Dong Zhongshu, who proposed the divine right of the monarch, and other various doctrines have been annotated one by one, and the group scriptures are the best description of this person. On the other hand, this person also wrote books and said, and he was a family of his own.

Cao Pi's head has Zheng Xuan's "Theory of the Six Arts", which explains in detail the six arts taught by Confucius in the Zhou Dynasty, namely the six classics of Confucianism, "Yi", "Shu", "Poem", "Li", "Music", "Spring and Autumn", the content, inheritance, inheritance, and development, and at the same time, combined with the general trend of the world today, how the six arts should take their essence and remove their dross in the current chaos of the world.

However, this clock speech is not about Zheng Xuan's old adult affairs, but about Zheng Xuan's current integration of ancient scriptures and modern scriptures, and once again sorting out all the scriptures he annotated, holding the original intention of "interpreting the ancient with the present", following the theme of "giving an outline and opening all eyes, solving one volume and all the articles", and founded Zheng Xue.

Cao Cao was also very moved when he heard it, the so-called ancient scriptures specifically refer to the various classics written in the six languages on a wall in the old mansion of Confucius (called Confucius by later generations) after Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, including 46 volumes and 58 articles of "Shangshu", 16 articles of "Yishu", 56 volumes of "Ancient Classics of Rites", 39 articles of "Yili", 131 articles of "Book of Rites", 33 articles of "Mingtang Yin and Yang", 21 articles of "Wang Shishi", 30 articles of "Spring and Autumn Zuo's Biography", 1 article of "Ancient Filial Piety", 21 articles of "Ancient Analects", Most of these articles are also in Cao Pi's head. In the Western Han Dynasty, some old Confucian scholars memorized the Confucian classics from memory and then sorted out them in Han Dynasty characters, which became the modern classics.

Because of this, not only are the scriptures different from each other, but more importantly, their interpretations and views are very different. In ancient and modern times, the two factions each commented on the scriptures and gave lectures according to their own views, but gradually became incompatible, and developed into mutual accusations, debates, and attacks on each other. Later, the ancient scriptures were also established as scholars and obtained legal status, and the struggle between the two factions became more frequent and intense. At this age, the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures are parallel in the world, and the Confucian school is also divided into two schools, the modern and the ancient, which are clearly distinguished.

If there is still one person in the world who can integrate ancient scriptures and modern scriptures, it is Zheng Xuan. Because of his ancient and modern scriptural attainments, everyone thinks that he has reached the peak, so it is logical for him to do this.

The Han Dynasty scholars, there are "teacher law" and "family law" two sayings, the so-called "teacher law" is to strictly abide by the scriptures of the teacher without going out of shape, after learning the scriptures and then add their own ideas and opinions on top of their theories, the achievement of a family's words, open the museum to teach apprentices, is the "family law", Dong Zhongshu's "divine right of the monarch" during the Western Han Dynasty is a kind of "family law". To put it simply, the teacher's method is traced back to its origin, and the family law is the extension and development of the teacher's teaching.

This situation has led to a kind of scripture with a number of "family laws", and even some people have learned under everyone to add their own opinions again, and it has become a kind of doctrine, so there are a number of doctrines under the family, which has caused the contemporary Confucian school to teach its own set of theories, which is full of errors, so that later scholars do not know what to follow. The emergence of Zheng Xue, the ancient and modern scriptures were reorganized and integrated, and the chaff was removed, so that later readers had a complete learning system, and they did not have to worry about listening to the words of which school, but the so-called "everyone" said that the understanding of various classics was right or wrong, because only by the word "Zheng Xuan", it can be concluded that the commentary in Zheng Xue must be the most correct.

For the Zhong family, the family has learned its own system, compared to those who do not have a family to rely on, they only learn more systematic and logical, after all, it is the academic system that the whole family has studied and developed from generation to generation, Zheng Xuan's achievements can allow them to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses on the basis of their own doctrines, not only can they improve their own scripture system, but their own children will have a broader vision and knowledge after learning other classics. Compared with ordinary scholars who can only use Zheng Xue to systematically study classics, the big families who are governed by Jing Xue can use Zheng Xue to do more things, such as learning from each other's strengths, corroborating each other, and so on.

In general, the advent of Zheng Xue will not only make the scholars and scholars come out in large numbers, but also greatly increase the chances of the children of the poor families becoming pillars, because it can help the world to learn more systematically and effectively.

Cao Cao asked, "I wonder where Yachang learned about this?" ”

"Hebei Yuan Benchu, for some reason at the beginning of the year suddenly feasted guests, Zheng Kangcheng was invited to attend, because this person is known to be famous, so he was asked by the banquet Junjie, but Zheng Kangcheng answered like a stream, only to surprise the four, and then he proposed to become a family in the banquet." Zhong Yan replied.

"I see". Cao Cao smiled and said no more, but Cao Pi keenly noticed that a trace of gloom flashed on his father's face, although it was only a short moment, and he hid it well. But for a child like Cao Pi, who had been with his parents in a high position for a long time in his previous life, such fleeting unhappiness was too easy to capture, and for him, it almost became an instinct.

Although Cao Pi didn't know the reason behind the haze on Cao Cao's face, but for Zheng Xuan in Zhong Yan's mouth, Cao Pi still heard some, in his previous life, scholars in related fields commented on Zheng Xuan is to bring the Han Dynasty scriptures into the era of small unification, if there is no Zheng Xuan, the scriptures of later generations will be at least divided into ancient and modern schools, and because of the "teacher law" and "family law" reasons, I am afraid that there will be unpredictable changes in the academic system of hundreds of years in later generationsAlthough Cao Pi himself is not an expert in this field, he is also a leader in the academic field, and he deeply understands the importance of systematizing a discipline, and he deeply admires Zheng Xuan. At the same time, thinking of Zheng Xuan's proposal at Yuan Benchu's banquet to rectify the ancient and modern scriptures and become a family, no one dared to ask questions during the banquet.

"Take an outline and open all eyes, solve a volume and all the articles are clear", what a self-confidence, what an atmosphere!

Zhong Yan saw that Cao Cao no longer spoke, but laughed to himself: "A great sage like Zheng Kangcheng should open a museum in Xudu to teach apprentices, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, all eyes are on him, Zheng Xue will definitely be respected by the sages of the world in Xudu." ”

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this: "Presumably Yuan Benchu would not let such a great sage leave." ”

When Zhong Yan heard this, he smiled meaningfully: "Sikong is generous, give up the position of general to Yuan Benchu, he took the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, why not come again and canonize Zheng Kangcheng, does Yuan Benchu dare not accept it?" ”

Cao Pi listened to a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly a memory that did not belong to him appeared in his mind, it turned out that last year, that is, the first year of Chuping, in 196 AD, his father Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven into Xu County, and in the same year, the Son of Heaven, known as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, added Cao Cao as a general and named the Marquis of Wuping. Cao Cao immediately changed Xuchang to Xudu and took over the military and political power of the imperial court. For the original heart of Yuan Shao of Anhebei Province, he was named a captain, but Yuan Shao refused to accept the seal, Cao Cao got the news and immediately gave up the position of the general, and changed it to Yuan Shao as the general. This time, Yuan Shao was actually sealed, obviously unwilling to be under Cao Cao.

In the Han Dynasty, the official position of general was not available to every emperor, but once established, its status was bound to be above the three dukes, and it was the most noble official position, such as Han Xin and Wei Qing were both generals. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty named Cao Cao as a general is obviously the honor of a very popular minister, which makes Yuan Shao, who was born in a famous family, unhappy, so that he does not accept Yuan Shao as one of the three princes, Cao Cao obviously doesn't want to have a stiff with Yuan Shao now, so he gave the general to Yuan Shao, and he was one of the three princes, although he was not as good as the general Xuanhe, he was also a very human minister, which made Cao Pi can't help but think: The haze on Cao Cao's face just now must be Zhong Yan mentioning that Yuan Shao didn't know why he held a banquet at the beginning of the year, in Cao Cao's heart, must think that Yuan Shao is celebrating his promotion during the New Year, this official position was originally Cao Cao's, how can he be happy?

"Hahaha, Ya Chang said it very much!" Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled, obviously thinking that Zhong Yan's suggestion was very good, and it really made Yuan Shao uncomfortable.

At this time, a tall man in armor walked into the hall quickly, this person is at least 190 cm tall, a pair of long legs, the figure is definitely a male model level, the skin is slightly dark, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, in Cao Pi's memory, this person is Cao Cao's brother, another member of the Cao family's fierce general Cao Ren's younger brother, named Cao Chun, this person not only has the official position of the Yellow Gate Squire in the court, but also the commander of the most elite army under Cao Cao - the tiger and leopard cavalry, the reason why he did not participate in the banquet, That's because after Cao Cao left, he was in charge of all matters in the army, which shows Cao Cao's trust in this person.

I saw Cao Chun striding in, first arching his hand at Zhong Yan, but his body and arms did not move, it was a general salute, which was the most common etiquette in the Han Dynasty, and of course there was a more understated way of saluting, that is, nodding slightly, called the head of the chin for the salute, which is a very arrogant way of greeting, and it is used by prominent and arrogant talents.

"The military situation is urgent, and without being informed, I broke into the banquet, sir, forgive me." Cao Chun immediately confessed after giving up, Zhong Yan even said that it was okay, and then confessed to Cao Cao, avoided the table, and called away with his subordinates, once again proving that this person is not only knowledgeable but also very measured.
