To say that Gu Yanwu, formerly known as Gu Jiang, the word Yanwu was changed because he admired Wen Tianxiang and Wang Yanwu.

It is said that the name should have been changed after the Qing army entered the customs, but who knows that it was changed early in this time and space. However, even if he changed his name in advance, it could not stop the growth of this famous thinker, economist, historian and phonologist, not to mention that he was still the leader of the party supervising the party at the moment.

Gu Yanwu studied in Jiangsu and Zhejiang when he was young, and also joined the Fushe, and was influenced by the orthodox Confucianism at that time, and the angle of considering the problem was often placed on the family, so when he was just admitted to the civil service in the Republic, Zhang Hongbin actually did not treat him very well. In the final analysis, Gu Yanwu at that time was still too young, the edges and corners had not yet been sharpened, and his thoughts couldn't turn around.

In recent years, with the reunification of the Republic of China, as the world slowly unfolds in their eyes, and as the historical development of various countries continues to fill the library, Gu Yanwu has also begun to reflect on whether what he has learned in the past is really suitable for China at this stage.

When he suddenly had the idea of fitting, he was also scared because he felt that he was a bit 'deviant'.

However, after the conspiracies of the Kong clan were exposed, the beliefs of the past were completely shattered, and in the midst of the sinking, he had to reflect on how Confucianism should follow?

The republic does not promote Confucianism, but it does not reject Confucianism, and even Zhang Hongbin has repeatedly stated at cultural exchange meetings that Confucianism is the traditional culture of China, and its origin and essence are of great significance to the governance of the country, especially the construction of spiritual civilization.

It can be heard that Zhang Hongbin really attaches importance to Confucian culture, but does not advocate excessive study of Confucian culture by civil servants.

Gu Yanwu is not a stunned young man, let alone a white-clothed scholar who has never been in contact with government affairs at all. He knew very well in his heart that Zhang Hongbin hoped that civil servants could be pragmatic and really do practical things for the people. Governing the people is a matter that requires a variety of knowledge to be able to do things well, and Confucianism only gives an ideal in this regard, but it cannot give anyone dry goods that can have enough to eat.

After struggling for a long time, Gu Yanwu had to humbly ask Xu Guangqi, who had retired at home, for advice, because he heard that earlier, Xu Guangqi tried to sort out the past Confucian knowledge at home, and he wanted to seriously restore the true nature of Confucian learning.

In the past, this kind of behavior was criticized by scholars, but now Gu Yanwu knows that this is the hope of Confucianism.

It's a pity that although Xu Guangqi's body is not bad, it is not much better, mainly reflected in the fact that his spirit is no longer so vigorous. Therefore, every time he went to Xu's house to ask for academic questions, Xu Guangqi asked him to read the manuscripts that had been sorted out before in his study, and Gu Yanwu sorted out his questions after reading them, selected the most critical questions, and asked questions when Xu Guangqi was still in good spirits.

After a few months, it was also a great harvest, and the true text of Confucianism began to be perfected and began to take shape with the joint efforts of the old and the young.

This is the original Confucian book of the Warring States Period, and it is also the latest version specially marked with punctuation marks for future generations to read. But this version may be suitable for the Warring States period, or for the previous feudal dynasties, but definitely not for the republic. In other words, this real view of the times is a bit backward.

Xu Guangqi no longer has the energy to continue to revise, which is why he has not released it. At that time, Gu Yanwu took over this arduous task, and began to combine the theoretical knowledge of the new era, as well as the authentic Confucian book in his hand, and carefully blended it together, making it more trendy and practical. Especially on the practical point, Gu Yanwu knows very well that only practicality is what Zhang Hongbin cares about the most.

After the completion of the first qiē, combined with the Confucian idea of the unity of nature and man, in contemporary terms, it focuses on the coexistence of the environment and human beings. In the final analysis, it is the new issue of sustainable development that must be taken seriously.

Therefore, after the manuscript was determined, and after Xu Guangqi's approval and polishing of the pen, it was officially published in the daily newspaper.

In the end, he was even discovered by Zhang Cai and directly applied to deal with the problem of soil erosion on both sides of the Yellow River. Of course, Gu Yanwu didn't know this at the moment.

Finally, one day, according to his daily habits, while working seriously at his post, the royal guards found him and told him that his majesty had been invited.

At that moment, Gu Yanwu was not afraid, nor was he ecstatic, he just silently sorted out the work at hand and handed over the tasks to his colleagues, and then he tidied up his clothes and hair crown, followed the guards into the palace, and met the saint.

"Minister Gu Yanwu, I've seen the emperor!" The republic did not kneel, so Gu Yanwu did not kneel, but just bowed and saluted.

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, just sit down!" Zhang Hongbin pointed to the chairs on both sides and said.

"Thank you!" After Gu Yanwu thanked him, he found a chair and sat down.

"I heard that Aiqing has recently been studying Confucianism suitable for contemporary national conditions?" Zhang Hongbin didn't talk nonsense either, and went straight to the topic.

"The minister is a Confucian student, who has studied Confucian scholarship since he was a child, and he can't bear to see Confucianism being knocked to the dust, and finally despised by the people. I had no choice but to read the writings of the sages in the hope of finding a Confucian scholarship that suited the needs of the republic. Gu Yanwu said.

"So, did you find it?" Zhang Hongbin asked with a smile.

"It has not yet been able to be called found, but the minister has only two major views on Confucianism in the new era." Gu Yanwu apologized.

"Tell me about it!" Zhang Hongbin was interested.

First, the harmony between man and nature, that is, the extension of the unity of heaven and man in Confucianism, to put it bluntly, is that in order for a country to be prosperous and strong, we must first not ignore the delicate relationship between man and nature. We should not excessively exploit the natural environment and destroy the harmony of nature because of the pursuit of development, which will lead to human beings themselves suffering from it; The second is to build a healthy spiritual civilization and a harmonious society. The purpose of Confucianism is to guide and correct the values that have become more and more distorted. Gu Yanwu said.

This remark made Zhang Hongbin directly embarrassed, how did he feel that he had suddenly returned to the future and was listening to the meaning of the leader's announcement of political decisions?

It is inevitable that Confucian scholarship can be brought to this point...... Forget it, for these two remarks, Zhang Hongbin knelt down directly......

At this point, there is no need to talk nonsense, it is rare to remember some future thoughts, so I simply took them out and talked to Gu Yanwu. But I didn't want to, the political views put forward by these future powers made Gu Yanwu like Mu Ganlin, and instantly found the object of struggle.

Looking at his already a little enchanted, Zhang Hongbin could only encourage him to actively explore and research.

In any case, Gu Yanwu has gained a lot from this conversation, and Zhang Hongbin has also gained a little. In the past, when I was a grass citizen, these things had nothing to do with me, but when I came to this era and became an emperor, I had to start facing these things.

In this way, it is also a bit of providence.
