Chapter 113: The Essence (I)
Literary family!
Books are the most important thing, if there are no books, then even the rich family will always lack the cultural heritage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before the Tang Dynasty, the most important reason why Shandong's families could stand for thousands of years was that they mastered the books of the seventh layer of the world, which was the so-called cultural monopoly.
Such a family is undoubtedly terrible, and it is also an insult to culture, Yang Ming has stepped into the threshold of scholars, and he still wants the Yang family to be brilliant from now on, so books are very important to the Yang family.
Yang Ming is now sorting out the books, holding the experience and righteousness presented by Li Daoyuan in his hand, these manuscripts can already be regarded as treasures of the town house no matter which gentry family they are placed in. Yang Ming had completely memorized these books during this time, but he did not agree with many things in them.
Confucianism is actually a kind of ideological radiation for the Analects and other books of Confucius and other sages, but these people forget that the wheels of history are constantly moving forward when they remember the sages, and Confucianism has its merits, but with the continuation of time, many things are no longer out of date.
For example, because the ancient people did not have advanced steelmaking knowledge, they used the method of continuous forging almost thousands of times, so that the iron was constantly eliminated from impurities in the compression to form steel, but in later generations, people could easily refine thousands of tons of steel in the blast furnace at one time, which is the surprise of culture.
It would not have been possible to use forging to produce steel in later generations, so it is not wrong to say that the ideas of the sages were very advanced, at least at the time when they lived, but if such ideas were used to the present day, they would surely create many people who remember the saints and have little practical use.
Doctrine!
It is an important idea of Confucianism, and it has produced a large number of such officials in the past thousand years. Yang Ming still remembers that there was a joke in later generations.
Two college students work in the same bank, one of them is more diligent and does everything, while the other is good at drilling, and he is good at everything.
Two years have passed, and the diligent person is still a clerk, while another person who doesn't like to work but likes to drill camps has become a leader. This story is very easy to understand, and it is in line with the saying that if you do more, you will be wrong, if you do less, you will be wrong, and if you don't do it, you will not be wrong.
The people who can take the examination and even the Jinshi can basically be said to be the elite of the entire Ming Dynasty, but these elites are like the second type of people in the story, often for their own official hats, for their own work, and as for the interests of the country, they are put in the second place.
While thinking about it, Yang Ming began to classify his books and the books given by Liu Fuzi, books, hand-copied books, and annotations on the Analects.......
Before he set out, he had to make a new copy of the more important parts of these books, which were to be used as the master book for the upcoming study of the family, and the original was stored in the study.
Ten years of reading, there are a lot of books.
The Four Books, the Five Classics, the Classics, the Miscellaneous Talks, and Yang Ming's own reading experience were divided into four parts, with a total of 320 volumes stacked on four bookshelves.
"Brother, what are you doing? Do you want me to help? Yang Lan poked her head out of the door and watched Yang Ming busily pull a book up and down on the shelf, and then put it back on the shelf, the whole person was tired and sweating.
Yang Ming turned around, Yang Lan had already walked in, and with a cup of tea in his hand, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart again! This is the taste of home, there are old men in the family, fathers and little girls, they are all silently caring for themselves with everything they can give.
"No need!" Yang Ming smiled: "You don't know these books either, I'm classifying them, what's wrong, grandma isn't busy?" ”
Yang Lan gently put the tea on the table and pouted: "Grandma is talking to Aunt Li next door, Dad is also out, Mother and Sister-in-law Zhang are cooking in the kitchen, Grandma will let me come to see you help!" ”
Yang Lan did not mention the old man in his words, no need to think that this old man must be holding a big teapot on the construction site as a supervisor, the old man is very concerned about the project of the new house, even if Yang Laosan and his son have tried their best to perfect, he still likes to watch from the sidelines, he is an unbearable master, and this is the third house in his life that is about to move in, and it is better than one time, several times at home he can't stop laughing and saying, I have lived for more than 60 years, I can't think of it! The big blue brick mansion with three entrances and three exits, that is where only the old men can live, can there be today is not the original I saw that the dog was a reading material?
The old lady's credit is undoubtedly the greatest, not only is it bigger than the old lady and others, but even Yang Ming as a party is not as big as him, whenever this is the case, Yang Ming is very cooperative, and it is always good for the old man to be a little more open.
Yang Lan silently accompanied Yang Ming to sort out the books, although she couldn't help, but she could do some simple things, such as wiping the table, bookshelf or something, the two brothers and sisters were very energetic.
"Brother, won't you leave if you don't marry your sister-in-law?"
Just as Yang Ming was free and ready to start transcribing Li Daoyuan's annotations to Shangshu, Yang Lan suddenly asked.
Yang Ming was stunned for a while, and then reacted for a while.
The Ming Dynasty is not like later generations, it is not uncommon for men to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and even more so to set a baby early, knowing that the woman will marry when she is thirteen or fourteen years old, but how can she not even develop well at such an age?
Yang Ming felt that it was very necessary to have a good physiology lesson with this Nizi, and now he was suddenly a little worried, his sister Yang Lan was also thirteen years old, and she would be fourteen years old after the New Year.
Young intercourse not only hinders development, but also affects the body, just like a fruit that is not ripe and is still green and is plucked, and such a fruit cannot be eaten at all. Moreover, in ancient China, whether it was the gentry class or the common people, the desire and importance for children were deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and the status of women actually depended largely on their children. If a woman is pregnant, and she is so young, it often causes the tragedy of two deaths without her body growing.
Yang Ming can't shut up others, but he still attaches great importance to his lovely sister, maybe not only to give her a physiology lesson, but even the old lady needs to communicate, he really doesn't want to suddenly have another brother-in-law come out.
PS: Today's chapter is sent, I hope you like it, there is one more day before the New Year, everyone pay attention not to catch a cold!
