Zou Tan came back, looking a little tired. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Unwise city lord, I was sorry for the loss of hospitality just now."

"The village chief doesn't need to be polite, of course it's important to get down to business."

Yu Buzhi smiled lightly and said, "I sat here before, thinking about what I saw and heard in Wude Village, and I felt something. The name of the five virtues reminds me of the famous doctrine put forward by a sage hundreds of years ago, and it is also a coincidence, that sage happens to have the same surname as the village chief, and the village chief knows who he is talking about? ”

The old man Zou Tan laughed, and he was extremely pleased: "I didn't expect the unwise city lord to guess the origin of my wait so quickly, there is no need to tempt, the old man is indeed a descendant of Zou Zi." ”

was exposed by the old man in front of the little trick, but Yu Buzhi didn't care about it, but was surprised and delighted.

"I didn't expect that it was really the Yin and Yang family to live in seclusion here, it's an honor!"

The Yin-Yang family, one of the hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period.

Zhuzi Baijia is a general term for various academic schools in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Qin and Han Dynasties. According to the records of the Art and Culture Journal, there are a total of 189 names and 4,324 works. The subsequent Book of Sui? Books such as "Chronicles of the Classics" and "General Catalogue of the Four Libraries" record that there are thousands of "Hundred Schools of Thought". However, there are only a few dozen of them that are widely circulated, have great influence, and are the most famous.

In summary, only 12 schools have been developed into schools.

In fact, at the beginning, there were very few schools of thought that were considered.

Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty quoted Sima Tan (Sima Qian's father) as an opinion on academic schools in the Records of the Historians, and Sima Tan summarized the schools since the pre-Qin period into six schools, namely: Yin and Yang School, Confucianism, Moism, Legalism, Famous School, and Taoism.

Later, in the "Seven Strategies", Liu Xin summarized the schools since the pre-Qin period into ten, and added miscellaneous schools, peasant families, novelists, and vertical and horizontal families to the school system divided by Sima Tan. Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty believes in the Book of Han: "There are ten families of princes, and there are only nine of them." Later, people went to "novelists" and called the remaining nine "nine streams".

In the book "Introduction to Pre-Qin Academics", the modern historian Lu Simian added soldiers and doctors.

So far, the scholarship since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period has been divided into 12 schools: Legalism, Taoism, Moism, Confucianism, Yin and Yang, Famous Scholars, Miscellaneous Scholars, Farmers, Novelists, Vertical and Horizontal Scholars, Soldiers, and Doctors.

The Yin-Yang family is one of them.

It should be noted that no matter how the hundred schools of thought are divided, the status of the Yin-Yang School is always undoubted, and in the list of the initial six schools summarized by Sima Tan, the Yin-Yang School is impressively listed, alongside Confucianism, Mo, Law, Ming, and Taoism, which shows the historical status and influence of the Yin-Yang School.

Onmyoism is a philosophical school that was very popular from the Warring States period to the early Han Dynasty.

It is generally believed that the Yin-Yang family originated from Taoism, and the early works of the Yin-Yang family have a large number of Taoist colors, and its knowledge is called "Yin-Yang Theory", and its core content is "Yin-Yang" and "Five Elements", and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Theory is one of the most important philosophical thinking of the Chinese nation.

The thought of Yin-Yang combines the ancient ideas of mathematics with the theory of the five elements of Yin and Yang, and further develops it, constructing a large-scale cosmic schema and trying to explain the causes of natural phenomena and their changing laws.

When it comes to the Yin and Yang family, there is inevitably a name: Zou Yan.

Zou Yan, a native of Qi, is the founder of the Yin and Yang family.

Zou Yan's life is not described, but his doctrine is briefly mentioned.

The main theories put forward by Zou Yan are: "Five Elements Theory", "Five Virtues and Beginning Theory" and "Great Kyushu Theory".

Five Elements Theory: Zou Yan put forward the concept of the five elements, the theory of "five elements win", in an attempt to explain the universal law of the movement and change of things. He believes that wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water produces wood as the transformation form of the five elements, indicating that there is an opposing relationship between things. This is an ideological factor with naïve materialism and dialectics, which has had a great influence on later generations in the fields of philosophy, medicine, calendar, architecture, etc.

-- Considering how common the Five Elements are in literature, it is not difficult to see the influence of this doctrine.

The Five Virtues Begin to Say: "Five Virtues" refers to the five virtues represented by the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and "Beginning to the End" refers to the "Five Virtues" and the cycle of repeating the cycle, so as to explain the historical changes and the rise of the dynasty. The political characteristics of the state and the dynasty must or must be in line with its virtue, and the color it admires, that is, the national color, must also be in line with its virtue. Only in this way can the country run smoothly and smoothly under the protection of God.

For example, the Yellow Emperor's regime is Tude, so he advocates yellow, and his banners and costumes are all Tuhuang. The Xia Dynasty was Mude and admired cyan. The Yin Shang Dynasty was Jinde, and its rise had the auspicious sign of silver overflowing the mountain, which was to advocate white. The Zhou Dynasty was a fire virtue, and the ancestors got the red black charm, so they naturally admired red. At that time, the world recognized this cycle of five virtues, and at the beginning of the establishment of the country, he had already determined his own virtue.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Song, Liao, and Jin dynasties, the Five Virtues Theory has been the basic theoretical framework for successive dynasties to explain the legitimacy of their regimes. If you don't gild yourself according to the theory of the five virtues, you are embarrassed to say that you have the world.

Great Kyushu said: In ancient times, Kyushu was divided into regions, and Shenzhou referred to China, but Zou Yan believed that the Kyushu mentioned in "Yu Gong" was only a part of the whole earth, and in addition to the small Kyushu of Chixian Shenzhou in China, there were eight other states with the same Kyushu, and the earth was only a part of the universe, and so on. This is the Great Kyushu Geography Theory.

Zou Yan was a native of the Warring States period, born around 324 BC.

He was the first person to theoretically study the ancient oceans.

In his time, the Great Kyushu Theory was undoubtedly shocking.

Zou Yan's thinking is grand, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, astronomical and geographical, and his association with the vastness of the universe has the reputation of "talking about Tianyan".

The village chief's name is Zou Tan, and Yu Buzhi immediately thought of "Zou Yan talking about the sky", coupled with scattered details such as the five virtues, the five elements of yin and yang, and Taoist dress, it is not difficult for him to think of the yin and yang family. The Yin-Yang School still existed in the early Han Dynasty, and the Yin-Yang School ceased to exist after the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, which also roughly coincided with the founding time of Wude Village.

After a little temptation, Zou Tan happily confessed his identity.

Zou Tan told Yu Buzhi that he was originally a descendant of Zou Zi.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the situation was chaotic, wars were frequent, and the ancestors of the Zou family migrated many times and gradually declined, so they had the intention of escaping the world. In the end, he used his superb astronomical calendar and formation ability (the Yin-Yang family was the only one specializing in astronomical calendrical calculations among the pre-Qin families, and the school's cognition of yin and yang and the five elements was very conducive to the study of formations), calculated and found this pure land, moved in with his family and some friendly neighbors, and since then he has been isolated from the outside world and has been hiding from the world for more than 300 years.

The reason why the ancestors of the Zou family built a village here was because they took a fancy to the outer protection of the White Tiger Kui Pagoda.

If you want to find a school that is most likely to deduce the location of the Five Saint Kui Pagoda and crack the many formations and mechanisms among the hundred sons, the Yin and Yang family said that they ranked second, and I am afraid that no one would dare to rank first.

Finding the descendants of the Yin and Yang family, Yu Buzhi was overjoyed.

Before he could figure out how to fool others into joining the deer collar, Zou Tan stood up and shook solemnly.

"Wude Village is facing a catastrophe, and I ask the unwise city lord to help."
