It wasn't Shangguan Qian'er who came to teach in the afternoon,

But an old man with a white beard and hair looks full of bookishness, dressed in green clothes clean and plain, but wearing it on him is full of dusty smell.

"My name is Xun Yin, the word Yulong, I will be your master in the future, I am mainly responsible for teaching you etiquette, the master teaches karma, three points in the teacher, seven points in oneself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAlthough Xun Moumou has limited talent, he should do his best, and I hope everyone will learn with their hearts. In our first lesson, I would like to discuss with you what etiquette is. ”

What is courtesy?

This question is not really difficult, because whether it is the academy motto or other masters, the scholar is required to be a "polite gentleman". The scope of etiquette is wide, and the interpretation of the word etiquette is even more varied, and anyone here can say several answers without thinking.

Therefore, as soon as they heard this topic, many people showed disapproving expressions on their faces,

The following person said: "Zi said, 'Who is the one who is a ritual?' That is, the rule of things, the gentleman must have his own rule, and the rule of the country is rude, such as being blind and incompatible. ’”

What is a rite? It is the governance of things, and a gentleman must make things be governed and govern the country when he encounters trouble, if there is no etiquette, it is like a blind man who has no support and does not know where to go.

Confucius likened the ritual law to a guide on the way, to the light that guides the way in the darkness. Where the legal system is perfect and the etiquette and law are respected, there is a place where crime is rare; On the contrary, there are laws that are not followed, law enforcement is not strict, and no one attaches importance to the dignity of etiquette and law.

Another person also said: "Those who are courteous are those who are happy because of people's affection and righteousness." ”

Another person said: "Rites, fulfillment, so worship the gods and bless them." ”

Li, fulfillment, so the gods and blessings", rites are etiquette, that is, the code of conduct, just like the feet to wear shoes to walk, people to act in accordance with the etiquette system, the prosperity of etiquette and righteousness, from the worship of God, worship God to courtesy, ask God to bless.

Xun Yin kept smiling, looking unfathomable, looked at Yang Guoyin, and said, "This scholar, what do you say?" ”

It was rare to encounter such a simple question, and everyone spoke one after another, only Yang Guoyin and Zhang Baiyi sat there staring wide-eyed,

Yang Guoyin's expression tightened, and he hurriedly stood up, his expression was extremely respectful, and said: "The student thinks that the truth of etiquette is both literature and thought. Cover with the benevolence and righteousness of the human heart, and make each one get his own collection, which is called courtesy. ”

The psychology of people's benevolence, righteousness, and thinking is reflected in speech and behavior, that is, etiquette.

"That's a good point." Xun Yin smiled, "But why can this be called a 'ceremony'?" ”

"This..."Yang Guoyin frowned and thought about it, and said: "This is what the sages said, and it is true. ”

"If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" Xun Yin continued to ask,

Yang Guoyin said: "The ancient sages had great wisdom, and the admonitions they left for future generations throughout their lives would not be wrong. ”

"Yes, the sages are all wise men who report the vicissitudes of life, they have read all kinds of life, through the past and the present, and the summary naturally has its truth and significance." Xun Yin said, and the conversation changed, "But people have different encounters, different moods, and different perceptions, and the nature applicable to them is also different." It's like a bowl of water, some people think it's too hot, and some people think it's just the right amount of warmth, how can you tell if what the ancients said is what you need? ”

Yang Guoyin's brows furrowed even more, and he lowered his head and thought about it, but he didn't speak.

"It's okay, sit down and think about it." Xun Yin nodded, and let Yang Guoyin be amnesty.

Xun Yin stroked his goatee and groaned: "Morality and righteousness are not indecent; Teach righteousness and vulgarity, and be indecent and indecent; Divide disputes and litigate, and do not decide indecencies; Monarchs and ministers, up and down, fathers and sons, brothers, indecisive; eunuch teacher, indecent and indeforming; The Ban Dynasty governs the army, and the officials practice the law, and it is not good to be indecent and majestic; Prayer shrines, sacrifices, offerings to ghosts and gods, indecent and insincere; It is to be respectful to the gentleman and give in to the courtesy. The parrot can speak, and it does not leave the bird; Orangutans can speak, and they do not leave beasts; Today's people are rude, although they can speak, they are not the hearts of beasts; The husband is rude, so the father and son gather; Therefore, the saints made it to teach people with courtesy, so that they can be polite, and know that they are different from beasts......"

Xun Yin couldn't help but shake his head twice when he said that he was happy, it seemed that only in this way could he show his knowledge,

The general idea is that morality and righteousness cannot be embodied without courtesy; education and discipline to make customs correct, without etiquette can not be fully implemented; Distinguish the reason, judge the lawsuit, and if there is no courtesy, it cannot be adjudicated correctly; Monarchs and ministers, superiors and subordinates, fathers and sons, and brothers, without courtesy, cannot determine the status of the relationship;

As an official and studying, without courtesy, you can't make the relationship between teachers and disciples close and respectful; The positions of the imperial court, the organization of the army, the appointment of officials, and the execution of decrees, without courtesy, cannot establish majesty and make people obey; Praying for blessings, making regular sacrifices, offering to ghosts and gods, without courtesy, you cannot show sincerity and solemnity. Therefore, the gentleman should be respectful and appropriate, and there is a way to make the meaning of etiquette clear.

Although a parrot can speak, it is still a bird after all; Although the orangutan can speak, it is still a beast. If people nowadays are not polite, even if they can speak, don't they have the same heart as beasts? Only birds and beasts have no manners at all, so they will marry fathers and sons. That's why the saints produced rituals to teach people, so that people had rituals and knew how to use rituals to distinguish themselves from beasts.

Xun Yin looked around again, pointed at Zhang Baiyi, and said, "Are you called Zhang Baiyi?"

With his finger, everyone's eyes were focused again. Many scholars looked forward to it, hoping that this legendary young man who couldn't even beat Bai Yaowen could bring them something different.

Zhang Baiyi was stunned, he never expected him to call himself. Standing up and nodding, he said, "It's the student, what advice does the master have?" ”

Xun Yin looked at him, but he couldn't see any mood. Said: "Master Yu said that you have only learned people and have quick thinking. Tell me, what do you think about etiquette? ”

Yu Yuanbu is still very righteous. Zhang Baiyi was secretly complacent in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything to refute it.

In the first lesson, I dismissed the master's face, isn't this looking for death? smiled at the moment: "The student thinks that the etiquette should be moderate,"

"Oh~" Xun Yin raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it?" ”

Zhang Baiyi said, "The word "li" has always been believed in by us. The beginning of educating the young son for the father begins with etiquette, and it is believed that being a polite child is the most important lesson we should master. The Master taught his students the same way, requiring them to understand etiquette and etiquette and be good students. Even now, as we have grown up, we are still required to know etiquette. And when we first meet a person, most of them start with whether the person has manners, if the person is polite, we will naturally have a good first impression of this person in our hearts. Of course, a person can understand etiquette, which is a beautiful character, a seductive temperament, a noble elegance,"

The disdain in Xun Yin's eyes flashed, and he seemed to feel that Zhang Baiyi was a little wasteful, and said with a smile: "What do you say about this, what does it have to do with moderation of etiquette?" ”

Zhang Bai Yi said: "Back to Master, politeness is not always good, after being polite, it loses its original luster and goes to the opposite of what we despise." People get along with each other by a sincere heart. ”

"According to you, people can't be too polite to each other?" Xun Yin asked,

This sour Confucian, and he is still competing with me! Zhang Baiyi said: "At the beginning, maybe everyone was not familiar with each other, so keeping a certain distance and sticking to the politeness that should be there is respect for each other, and it is also a must for us to cherish each other." Slowly, everyone has become a friend who has nothing to talk about, nothing to say, some reserved etiquette is no longer necessary, if you are as polite as before, it seems that there is a sense of distance and alienation, of course, in this way, the relationship will naturally not go further. ”

What is this theory? People shouldn't be polite to each other, right, the more polite the closer is,

The students were surprised at first after listening to Zhang Baiyi's words, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not easy to refute.

Zhang Baiyi also riveted and said, "No matter what, it needs to be moderate, "passing" is wrong, and the etiquette is the same, and excessive etiquette is hypocrisy. Since we are all close, we don't have to ask what to do one by one, but how we should consciously be, and we shouldn't worry about trouble and inconvenience, we are all friends, where is the trouble and inconvenience, this is to help each other and support each other. Moreover, if there are friends, don't trouble them, make it convenient for them, then they will be put on the shelf, and in the end they can only become cold, not close friends. ”

"Good!"

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the people responded one after another, and the applause continued for a while. The two of them asked tricky questions and debated wonderfully, and the scholars listened attentively and were fascinated, and they couldn't imagine that they could see such a good show in class.

Xun Yin was silent for a while, his eyes flickering, as if he was quite amazed by Zhang Baiyi's intelligence. After a while, he said, "Master Yu is right, you are indeed a geek,"

Geek?

Zhang Baiyi was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, isn't it, only a weird person can sleep on such a major occasion as the West Lake Poetry Club.

Xun Yin looked around again and said: "Actually, although this lesson is about 'etiquette', I think everyone should understand something from my words: the knowledge you learn is the life of others. If it is only regarded as the exhortation of the sages, it will always be the wealth of the sages. Just like thinking about the word 'etiquette', what exactly is etiquette? Everyone should ask themselves. In this regard, you should learn from Zhang Baiyi. ”

After listening to the Master's words, the scholars pondered it carefully, and they all felt that it made a lot of sense. On weekdays, I will only blindly read hard, thinking that if I have memorized the classics of the sages, I can be regarded as understanding the true meaning of the gentleman, but now that I think about it, it is really a little ridiculous. Only by choosing the good for one's own use is the way to achieve great success.

Thinking of this, people invariably looked at Zhang Baiyi. Secretly sighing that although this person is not very old, his knowledge and understanding of knowledge has left him far behind, and even the master can't defeat him, which is really admirable. is worthy of the person who can win the poetry,

"To be a man is to think well, and good thinking can lead to success." Xun Yin said, staring at Zhang Baiyi with burning eyes, "This is the first lesson I want to teach you." ”

The scholars fell silent.

Xun Yin's words were concise and to the point, but they aroused everyone's thinking, which also made Zhang Baiyi secretly admire.

It can resonate with students, jump out of the thinking that other masters only know to let students memorize, and use layers of questions to tell students the role of thinking, laying the groundwork for future learning, which is a manifestation of progress in this era.

This master is not simple!
