Chapter 8: Four Sentences Through the Ages (I)
"For Confucianism, you should open peace for all generations!"
A deafening sentence came from behind him, causing the students in the hall to look back.
I saw a person standing outside the door of the main hall. Against the light, people can't see his appearance and age clearly, and can only see that he is tall and strong, not like an ordinary soldier, but like a brave general who charges into battle.
'Who is it?!' ’
Nearly 100 people's minds were full of questions.
This sentence not only points out the ultimate goal of Confucianism, but also echoes the first three sentences. Being able to connect with the fourth sentence of this outline shows that the study of the horizontal canal has been thoroughly understood.
'Who is it?' ’
Most of the students in the hall had not yet figured out who the person who suddenly appeared was, and before their doubts could be clarified, the person outside the door had already stepped into the hall. The footsteps do not stop, and the mouth does not stop, step by step:
"The king of the upper auxiliary, the lower An Li people, the outer service Yidi, the inner peace thief, open the foundation of peace for all generations. Who can be a non-Confucian in these things?! ”
In the sonorous and powerful voice, there is a bit of excitement lurking, full of inspiring power.
When someone walked into the hall, the people in the hall finally saw his appearance clearly, and their eyes lit up.
He was only in his early twenties, excessively young, with straight eyebrows, a beautiful nose, and a restrained look in his eyes, but with a hint of majesty. The complexion is slightly dark, which is the trace of perennial wind and sun, which is completely different from the general scholars who study hard at home. Dressed in the outfit of an ordinary Confucian student going out to study, but after a few steps, the temperament shown in his gestures is obviously only possessed by people in high positions, and it does not match his age.
The huge gap between age and bearing makes the identity of the person who came come out of nowhere. There are many disciples under Hengqu, and there is only one person who can be in a high position at a young age.
Many people stood up in surprise, including Lu Dazhong, the oldest among the disciples.
"Be peaceful for all generations!"
As he spoke, he walked past the students who had avoided him, and walked all the way to Zhang Zai, who also got up to greet him, and he knelt down and bowed: "Han Gang, meet Mr." ”
Sure enough, he is Han Gang! ’
'No wonder! ’
Originally, Han Gang was already an admirable fellow disciple in the minds of Zhang Zai's disciples. In terms of invention and creativity, the medical system, the military chess sand table, and the thunderbolt cannon named by the Son of Heaven, plus the theory of Gewu that inspired Zhang Zaidu, Han Gang's talent can be seen. And on the wrist used by the world, there is also the merit of assisting Wang Shao to open up the territory and expand the territory, and the non-idle scholar can.
Under Zhang Zaimen, many people regarded Han Gang as a future minister. In the future, the lintel of the Heng Canal will be magnificent, and this person will be the only one.
And today, Han Gang's appearance is as prominent as Qifeng, and one sentence confirms his identity as an outstanding disciple under Zhang Zai's sect. can almost be on an equal footing with Lu Dajun, Su Yu and Fan Yu, who have been with Zhang Zai for a long time.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Zhang Zai smiled heartily and helped Han Gang up with his own hands.
Peace for all generations.
Han Gang's sentence is talking about the joints!
Zhang Zai looked up at one of the most outstanding disciples under his disciple, and nodded with satisfaction, "In the past few years, Yukun has helped the prince in Xihuang to subdue the Qingtang Dynasty, co-opt the Qiang, pacify the situation of the Xihe River, and the siege of the party will be completed. ”
Confucianism pays attention to the inner and outer kings, self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and the world, and everywhere pays attention to the four characters inside and outside, and the peaceful and prosperous world can not be obtained only by force. But for Kansai, which has been harassed by party thieves, foreign service is the premise of peace.
Han Gang bowed and thanked Zhang Zai for his approval.
Zhang Zai stepped forward and said to the disciples: "The class has a saying: Confucianism is a stream, and it is covered by the officials of Situ, and those who help people are also educated by Yin and Yang. You Wen is in the Six Classics, paying attention to the occasion of benevolence and righteousness, the ancestor Yao Shun, the charter of civil and military, and the grandmaster Zhongni. This paragraph...... Mistaken! ”
Li Fu's face flushed, and he listened to Zhang Zai continue:
"Confucianism stands between heaven and earth, all things are reasonable, and Xi Dao rules the world, how can these words be restrained?"
"Set your heart for heaven and earth! Make a life for the people! For the sake of the saints, continue to learn! Open peace for all generations! Only those who do these four things can be Confucian! ”
At today's special lecture, Zhang Zai was pleased to learn that his scholarship can be described as a successor. Lu, Su, and Fan are not counted as the big disciples, and among the younger generation, there are also rare talents like Han Gang.
And these people have already understood the Guan Xue, and the answers they gave were even better than he expected. With a big heart, Zhang Zai's lecture time was much longer than usual, not only preaching, but also answering students' questions until the sun was shining.
With a loud bang, today's lecture ended. Facing Zhang Zai, who was already hoarse, Lu Dajun led the disciples to bow respectfully to him: "Mr. Xie preached!" ”
……………………
The students left with curious eyes and went back to their rooms in the academy.
Although they still want to make friends with Han Gang, it is obvious that Zhang Zai wants to talk to Han Gang first.
was left alone by Zhang Zai, in the main hall. Han Gang looked at this building that was comparable to the Daxiong Treasure Hall of a medium-sized temple out of the corner of his eye, it was several zhang tall and wide, and there were eight large pillars supporting it, accommodating nearly a hundred students below, and it did not look crowded. It's just that there is almost no ornamentation, only a single lacquer - after all, it still has to save money.
On the left and right sides of the hall, there are indeed two articles engraved with "Nail Stubbornness" and "Foolishness". These two articles are the key points of Guan Xue, and Han Gang can already memorize the general text of the outline. If you want to understand Zhang Zai's academic views, you have to start here.
Seeing Han Gang looking at this hall, Zhang Zai smiled and said, "This academy has a lot of Yukun's power. If it weren't for Yukun, you wouldn't be able to cultivate such a majestic place. ”
Han Gang immediately stood up and stood with his hands down, "Don't dare." It is difficult for Mr. to repay Han Gang's teachings. A little outside the body, I can't afford to be thanked by Mr. ”
Zhang Zai smiled and motioned for Han Gang to sit down again, "You don't have to be so polite. He paused, "Yukun, you crossed the Hengqu this time, but you want to go to Beijing for the imperial examination?" ”
"The student is going to the capital to take the Jinshi exam, and if he can achieve something in the future, he can also be a protector for his learning." Han Gang is not shy about his ambitions. Zhang Zai is a gentleman, but he is by no means a fool. With the relationship between master and apprentice, you can just say it directly.
"If Yukun can really make meritorious contributions, it is also a great good. If there is no support from the court, the school will not be far away. ”
Zhang Zaifi admires power, but he understands very well that without the assistance of power, no school can last long, and it will not be great. Otherwise, why would the Master travel to the nations?
Guanxue is not like the Huainan School, with the support of Wang Anshi, the prime minister, and the backing of the entire new party, in the next few decades, in Shilin, the study of Wang Xue will inevitably become a common practice. Unless something happens, Wang Anshi's reputation will be lost.
Guan Xue is not like Luo Xue. Luoyang is located in the middle of the world, the Great Song Dynasty Xijing, where literati and scholars gathered. The two cousins who live in Luoyang can travel with Fu Bi and Sima Guang. In the process of their interactions, they will inevitably be able to get the propaganda of this important minister of the imperial court. And the two cousins are now preaching in Songyang Academy, and the Songyang Academy, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, is not comparable to the Hengqu Academy, which has been established for only two years.
The status of Guan Xue in the academic circles of the Great Song Dynasty is similar to that of Shu Studies today, living in a corner, just reluctantly.
In order to pass on the lineage of Guan Xue, Zhang Zai will never be hypocritical.
In the past few years, Zhang Zai has been sick, especially the lungs, which is an incurable disease. It seems that there is no big problem now, but my body knows best, it is not a medicine stone that can be saved, just a few days to see if I can drag it for a few more years. Therefore, the legendary disciple of the Medicine King was in front of him, Zhang Zai didn't ask a word, and even deliberately sat away from the disciple he valued.
'Save, I'm obedient. No, I'd rather do it. ’
The last two sentences of the article "Nailing Stubbornness" are Zhang Zai's views on life and death - alive, obedient to the heavens, and dead, but the time for peace has come.
For birth, old age, sickness and death, Zhang Zai is very open-minded. What he is thinking about now is that he doesn't want to die and die.
Sun Fu passed away, and the learning of Mount Tai was not passed on; Hu Ying died, and there was no more righteousness and governance in the world; Li Jing died of illness, and although the Xujiang school was still circulating, it was also gradually declining.
Jang Jae didn't want to see the career he had spent his whole life creating become a vestige because of his death. He also hoped that the four sentences of 'establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the sake of the saints, and opening peace for all generations' could be carried forward with his school.
Taishang Lide, followed by meritorious service, and once again made a speech.
Leaving the writings for posterity is merely a statement. However, if you can let future generations of Confucians learn the Tao, it will be a great merit of meritorious service and virtue.
Among all the lives, Han Gang is young. Speaking of inheriting the lineage of Guan Xue, even in terms of age, Han Gang does have this qualification. And the phrase 'I want to be close to the avenue by the side door', he can really do what he says. The study of physics is ingenious, and it is far different from Ercheng's theory, but Han Gang's words of his own words. However, Zhang Zai still hopes that Han Gang can also put a little more effort on the right path.
If you want to Guangda Guanxue lintel, you must have the ability of Han Gang himself, and he must study the Jingyi Avenue in depth. The power to promote scholarship must be there, but the knowledge itself must also be profound. It is important to know that academics are fundamental, and power is only auxiliary.
It's just that the current Zhang Zai can't wait to have a deeper understanding of the theory of learning from things that Han Gang said. From the several theories mentioned in Han Gang's letter, we can already see that this set of theories is so grand in scale and far-reaching in significance that the way of the operation of all things in nature is included in it. If it can be successfully established and integrated into the school......
It's time for a big deal!
Chao asked, it's okay to die at night!
After eating together, Zhang Zai ignored the heavy night, and together with Sanlu, Fan Yu, and Su Xun, he pulled Han Gang to the study: "Yukun, you will talk about the three laws of mechanics mentioned in the letter the day before yesterday and talk about it in detail with the teacher!" ”
