Chapter 266: Guan Xue settles in
The carriage drove smoothly on the gallop road, whether it was going straight or turning, as if it were walking on the ground without a sense of bumps. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Except for a slight struggle on the uphill slope, the rest is okay.
This chariot attendant should have been strictly trained, and he should have driven a sturdy horse just right, neither fast nor slow, and maintained within a certain speed. Combined with the soft silk cushions in the interior of the luxurious carriage, there is hardly any discomfort except for the harsh sound of the metal wheels rubbing against the steel gallop.
Even the noise of the train in later generations could not be eliminated, and Lu Chengqi was very satisfied with such an effect.
But the satisfaction of Chidao is the utensil after all. Lu Chengqi is even more satisfied with the sage that Zhang Zai, who happened to be discovered by him, a sage who has just had an epiphany!
What's more, the thoughts of this sage are very consistent with Lu Chengqi!
To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for the world, how great a mind, how deep a thought, and how far away can this be?
Lu Chengqi thought of the history known to future generations, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. There is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty, not the fall of a dynasty, but the extinction of sages!
Mongolia destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and established the Kneeling Ceremony, and the backbone of China was bent. The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, occupied the Central Plains, flourished in the literary prison, suppressed all progressive ideas, and the sages became extinct.
At this point, Chinese civilization has completely changed its taste. Of course, this is not unrelated to the Ming Dynasty's respect for science, and it is also closely related to the politics, climate, and economy of the late Ming Dynasty, but the Chinese civilization lacks the most important thing, which still makes this culture tasteless.
This kind of thing is called the true Confucian spirit. The spirit of Confucianism cannot be realized by reading a few books of sages. If you don't understand the subtle words of the ancient sages, even if you read it 10,000 times, you will only use it as a stepping stone, and you will not be able to understand the grand will of the ancient sages to work hard for the Chinese people and only for the peace of the world.
There is a cloud in "The Book of Rites and Universities": "Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you must first know it, and you will know it in Gewu. Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world is peaceful. ”
In other words, it is "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world". In this era, as long as you are a reader, who has not read "University"? But for this passage, how many people have actually done it? I'm afraid it's all the same.
At this time, Dashun was equivalent to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the scholars were still like this. Imagine what would happen to the Han people after a hundred years of rule by the Mongol Yuan? After nearly 300 years of Manchu Tatar rule, how will the Han people's minds be numb? If you think like this, it is not difficult to explain why the more modern it is, the fewer sages there are, and the final Ming generation is only Wang Yangming. The sages of the Qing Dynasty did not have a judgment. After arriving in the Republic of China, there were fewer masters. Isn't that a kind of sadness?
Lu Chengqi knew that he couldn't be such a sage, but he knew that the times couldn't lack such a sage. Why has Chinese civilization not been cut off? It is probably these sages and Confucians who have injected new vitality into the times. Confucianism, Taoism, Bingjia, Moism, Legalism and other ideas will never become obsolete, because they are not invented and created, but the laws of nature summarized by the ancient sages through their own in-depth observations. How can the laws of nature become obsolete?
Lu Chengqi also understood this truth by reading the books of sages. Therefore, Lu Chengqi looked at Zhang Zai's eyes and was full of appreciation. If nothing else, just his point of view of teaching and educating people has convinced Lu Chengqi. What's more, he is close to the mind of the ancient sages, such a personality charm, who is unwilling to listen to his teachings?
After Zhang Zai made his wish, Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "I am very pleased that Mr. can use this encouragement." I opened Royal Roads University before, and I must have heard of it, sir? ”
Zhang Zai heard the strings and knew what he meant, he was a smart person, and he understood what Lu Chengqi was thinking, so he immediately nodded slightly.
"Royal Roads University is about to re-enroll, I want to invite Mr. to go to Royal Roads University to teach, I wonder what Mr. thinks?" As Zhang Zai expected, Lu Chengqi still said this thing.
Only in an instant, Zhang Zai had already weighed the pros and cons. After the epiphany, he actually had no enthusiasm for being an official. But the desire to emulate the ancient sages to preach the scriptures is getting stronger and stronger.
There are many ways to pass on the scriptures, you can establish your own righteous school, you can follow Confucius to travel around the country, you can write books and pass on the ......
But which kind of influence is greater than the recognition of the emperor's family?
Royal Roads University is such a good platform, as long as Zhang Zai's emotional intelligence is not very lacking, he should know how to choose. climbed the branches of the royal family, not only can teach his own doctrine, but also write books and biographies. More importantly, the students in Royal Roads University, according to Lu Chengqi's meaning, they will all be the pillars of Dashun in the future. In this day and age, what platform compares to Royal Roads University?
Zhang Zai only hesitated for a moment, and then said categorically: "I don't dare to ask for what I want." ”
Lu Chengqi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "With the help of Mr., I am a great shun, and everyone can become a saint and a sage!" However, what is the name of this doctrine of sir? ”
This is not abrupt, after all, in the history of science, science and mind have their own names, even if they belong to the same Confucian school, but the Tao is different. Lu Chengqi believes that Zhang Zai's learning is not under Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Lu Jiuyuan and other great Confucians, so the school headed by him is naturally different from the school of science and mind. Although the science has not yet formed a system at this moment, Lu Jiuyuan has not yet been born.
Zhang Zai thought for a moment and said: "The ancestral home of the grass people is Guanzhong, and they are also studying in Guanzhong, so let's call it Guanxue!" ”
Lu Chengqi nodded, it is very common to name it after the region, and it is okay for Zhang Zai to name it like this. However, why is the name Guan Xue so familiar? After carefully recalling the historical knowledge he had learned, Lu Chengqi was stunned and remembered that it was not the one in front of him who carried forward the study of guanxue!
As for the sentence "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for the world" is also from this chubby sage in front of me!
"How could it be so coincidental? Is it really the providence of heaven in the dark? ”
As a liberal arts student, Lu Chengqi is not interested in history, but under the rote memorization of high school, he also knows some common sense. Lu Chengqi naturally knew about such a famous school of science as Guan Xue, but he couldn't think of it for a while. (To be continued.) )
