Chapter 66: Heaven and Humanity

There are actually many people who support speeding up the excavation of Yinxu, not only Luo Zhenyu, Zhang Chun also met a group of Hanlin and editors of the original Qing Dynasty. Among them is Feng Shu, when Feng Shu was the commander of the navy in Zaixun, he served as the director of the military department of the Ministry of the Navy and the commander of the navy. However, like most officials in the late Qing Dynasty, he did not understand the navy, but was a man of letters, excellent in calligraphy, and good at writing Yan characters.

What was special was not him, but the two young couples he brought, one was Feng Shu's second son Feng Dake and his wife Kong Deqi, who was the eldest daughter of the Confucian Mansion. The other is Kong Decheng, the heir of the Confucian Mansion, and his wife Sun Qifang. Kong Decheng has just turned 17 years old.

Although Kong Decheng was young and never said anything, these people regarded him as the leader of Confucianism.

They also knew that Zhang Chun might not be so polite to these old people, but he rarely said anything serious about young people.

Kong Decheng was forcibly taken to Qingdao when Han Fuqu fled. However, Feng Shu entrusted some connections to get him back to Beijing, and later Han Fuqu went to Guangzhou after being surrendered, and did not take the young Kong Decheng with him.

The people of the Confucian Mansion brought Kong Decheng back to Qufu.

Later, the Confucian Mansion was confiscated by the government and became the Shandong Academy of Literature. At that time, Wang Guowei and Luo Zhenyu were both in Anyang, and Anyang archaeology was not only a matter for the Wuhan government, but also many scholars from Peking University were also involved. Feng Shu arranged for Luo Zhenyu to enter the Xinmin College of Literature, and later entered the Department of Archaeology, where he was a student of Liang Siyong.

However, the huge inertia and influence of the old Confucianism are still reflected in this child. Although Kong Decheng studied very hard, he has never been so close to Liang Siyong. is often pulled into the middle of this group of old men as a leader.

Feng Dake is interested in Jinshi calligraphy. Under the name of Peking University, he studied oracle bones in Anyang. It is said that the two are not too harmonious. Kong Deqi himself went to the archaeological institute to work as a small worker in charge of cultural relics protection, but now he is a good technician.

Sun Qifang still looks like a child, very beautiful. But at first glance, it is a lady who came out of an old-fashioned family. She had only studied homeschooling. Follow Kong Deqi to learn about cultural relics protection. is a very quiet, patient child, occasionally showing some childishness, will be coquettish to Kong Decheng.

Kong Decheng was forced to become a young man.

Kong Decheng's title of Yan Shenggong is not recognized by the Wuhan government. But Chiang Kai-shek admitted in the central government. It's just that it's not of much use, and the Confucian Mansion, including millions of acres of land, has all been nationalized and distributed to the common people. The Confucian Mansion became a research institute and a university. It does not violate the ancient precept of Confucius in running schools.

Because Zhang Chun promoted more Taoist doctrines, people led by the Xinmin Research Institute and the Xinmin System criticized Confucianism after Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty very strongly. There is not much praise for Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty. The pressure on the old Confucians was very great. Therefore, many people want to pull Kong Decheng into the national control area.

After all, Kong Decheng studied at Xinmin Academy, and he listened a lot. If you see too much, how can you not understand the truth.

"You also think that Yinxu should be excavated as soon as possible." Zhang Chun really couldn't say anything cruel about these young people. And Kong Decheng doesn't seem to be the kind of child who doesn't know anything.

"The students think yes, but it should be done on a protective basis. The study of Dunhuang is because the damage to Dunhuang is too serious, and most of the cultural relics have been lost. Although there is a loss of cultural relics in Anyang. But the underground part should be mostly still there. Anyang compared with Dunhuang. Even if it is well protected now, it should be protected and excavated at the same time. ”

Kong Deguo ignored the comments of these old Hanlin and expressed his opinion. Because in Xinmin Academy, you don't dare to express your opinion, that is the performance of unqualified students.

Liang Siyong nodded secretly on the side, but also that his students were not ashamed.

Zhang Chun smiled: "Do you think the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang should be excavated?" ”

"It depends on what you want to do, and I personally think it should be put off. Compared with the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the Forbidden City needs more protection. Now the loss of cultural relics is very serious. ”

Zhang Chun had already heard it, although Kong Decheng was young. But he insisted on his own opinion and was not controlled by these old people.

Zhang Chun said with a smile: "I can't manage the Forbidden City now. But I promise that no artifacts will be lost, either on land or at sea. It's ours, and we'll get it back. As for the other things, what is right and what is wrong, I think you young people know better. ”

Zhang Chun and Lizhi took Niuniu to walk along the Huan River, and specially called Liang Siyong, Kong Decheng and Feng Dake to accompany them.

"Qufu, Shandong Province, is the source of Chinese culture. The capital of the Shang Dynasty should be in the Qufu area. Later, I moved here, and it was called Yin. In fact, the merchant is only a small tribe, and the really big tribe is called the river, that is, the tribe that lives in the Yellow River Valley, whether it is the Xia Dynasty or the Shang Dynasty, the ancestors of the river and their ancestors are sacrificed at the same time. ”

"Some people also say that the river refers to the river god because the Yellow River is swaying." Liang Siyongdao.

"If you sacrifice with your ancestors, you're a tribe. If it is sacrificed with the god of nature, it is the god of nature. You should be aware of this when you're studying Oracle. Of course, it is not excluded that the gods of nature and the ancestors were sacrificed at the same time, but it depends on what happens. Yugong once recorded that the Yellow River led the river to accumulate stones, as for the Longmen; As far as Huayin in the south, as far as Zhuzhu in the east, as far as Mengjin in the east, and as for Luowei in the east, as for Daling; precipitation in the north, as far as the continent; In the north, it is sown as nine rivers, and it is also a reverse river, and it enters the sea. In other words, the Yellow River divides into nine rivers that flow into the sea. The actual situation should be under the thick loess of the North China Plain. The topography is very different now. ”

Zhang Chun pointed to the vast plain.

"Yugong was written by the Zhou Dynasty, and it should be in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Yellow River is in such a form. When the rainy season comes, flooding is inevitable and the lakes are numerous. For more than 3,000 years, the Yellow River has been swinging on the North China Plain, and the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea have shrunk in size, and gradually become what they are now. It nurtured and destroyed Chinese civilization here, all because of this thick loess. The sea retreated, the sea breeze gradually could not blow inland, the original Hetao, Kunlun Shenshan gradually desertified, because people in order to survive a large number of reclamation, now Altai, between the Heli Mountains, a Gobi and desert. If humanity does not know how to restrain itself, that is our future. ”

"I don't look down on Confucianism, Confucianism, Confucianism, Confucianism, Conf When did the ancients ask for rain? It should be the time when agriculture is booming and the drought is going to lead to a reduction in production. Why did Confucius, the ancestor of Decheng, go to consult Lao Tzu? Because Lao Tzu is in charge of books. And these books are likely the oracle bones you have unearthed now. The oracle bone is a record of history, climate, and disasters year after year. When you look at these things, you are going back to the time when you lived with our ancestors. We are accustomed to seeing the rise and fall of thousands of years, not only the rise and fall of human beings, but also the rise and fall of nature. So it's no wonder that Lao Tzu wrote such a philosophical summary essay as 5,000 words. ”

"Confucius's biggest mistake was to be humane and ignore the way of heaven, of course, he wanted to remedy it in his later years. However, the Book of Changes is not the most primitive record, and it was also summarized by the historians of the Zhou Dynasty, mainly stage theory and methodology. It's a pity that Confucius probably didn't figure out this way of heaven, and still used humanity to explain the way of heaven. Confucius did not do what he said, and in the end, his thoughts and teachings became strange to his disciples. Qin Shi Huang was very dissatisfied with this phenomenon. In addition, some people abducted and deceived in the name of Confucius. That's why there is a book burning pit Confucianism. But this Confucianism still refers to the warlock who deceived Qin Shi Huang to find the elixir. ”

"In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism arose, and began to organize and unify thoughts. Still divided into two parts. Part of it is Dong Zhongshu, who believes that humanity is the true meaning of Confucius's thought. The other part of the representative can be said to be Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong believed that Confucius's later thoughts were correct, and he wrote the Taixuan Sutra. Even the historians who wrote history were divided into two parts. The historical records start from the humanitarian aspect, and the Hanshu actually retains the idea of heavenly dao. ”

Zhang Chun looked at Kong Decheng and said with a smile: "When I say this, I mean that Confucius's thought also has a gradual process, and his thought is not only one thought, but inclusive. It's just that he reads Yi relatively late. The Ten Wings of the I Ching were not written by Confucius, but were explained by Confucius's students in the Han Dynasty. We don't see the way of heaven, but only humanity. This is already rigid and contrary to the ideas of Confucius. There were a lot of debates about these in the Tang Dynasty, and there were also a lot of articles left behind, not to mention the question of who was right and who was wrong, but the issue of controversy. In the Song Dynasty, the emperor wanted to rule the world with the literati, and Zhu Xi destroyed the way of heaven and strengthened humanity. Thinking is not a matter of rigidity, but of solidification. This has laid the foundation for China's current misery. The birth of Baguwen, the narrowness of scientific research, and finally evolved into the ruling class is all lip service. It would be a miracle that such a country does not decay. ”

"Heavenly physics, we must understand, we can't get into the pile of old papers." Zhang Chun looked at a few young people and said very solemnly.

"What we know, empty talk misleads the country, hard work prospers the country, this is the school motto." Kong Decheng smiled, and finally revealed the childishness and arrogance that young people should have. (To be continued......)
