Chapter 507: Confucius's First Impression of Lao Tzu
Zhang Shanfeng saw that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he turned around and kowtowed to the master with both knees.
"Master is on top! Zhang Shanfeng is down! Zhang Shanfeng kowtowed to the old man! ”
"Humph!" Fang Jishi snorted angrily, wishing to kick him over. But! Think about it or forget it.
This Zhang Shanfeng, I don't know when he started, became like a child, a little naughty.
In the past, Zhang Shanfeng was a very serious boy. Afterward! Under the tutelage of him and Lao Tzu, he became like a person. But? I don't know when this guy suddenly didn't grow up.
"I want to kick you to death? You're trying to shoot me? ”
"Master! Ahem, ahem! Where can I shoot Master? What kind of person is Master? What kind of skill? ”
"You?" Fang Jishi was so angry that he wanted to kick people again.
Think about it too! If the other party plotted against him, the power of those two arrows would not be so small.
When he received the arrow, he felt that the force of the arrow was not very strong. But he didn't remember for a while that this archery shooter was his disciple Zhang Shanfeng, and it was this naughty guy who made fun of his master.
"When did you come back? You? Fang Jishi asked, ignored Zhang Shanfeng, and turned around and went to the gate of the Zhou Zang Room.
At this time! The white-haired old man had already walked towards him.
"Just came back! Just came back! Lao Tzu shook his white hair and said with a smile: "I came back two days earlier!" This is not? Delayed on the way, late to come back! ”
"I thought I had run for nothing! OK! You're back! It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Coming to Lao Tzu, Fang Jishi hurriedly saluted Lao Tzu as a junior.
"Hehehe!" Lao Tzu smiled: "I miss you too!" Let's go! Come inside and talk. ”
turned to Zhang Shanfeng and shouted: "Are you still lying on your stomach?" Let's prepare a meal and drink! I'm going to get drunk with your master! Hahaha......"
Fang Jishi walked to the Zhou Tibetan room while talking to Lao Tzu, wondering as he walked: What about Confucius? Lao Tzu is back, why is he not by Lao Tzu's side, it doesn't make sense? He's here to "greet him"?
Other than that! Musician Chang Hong is also nowhere to be seen.
When I got to the inside and sat down, I found out when I asked. Confucius and Chang Hong left without lunch and went to Chang Hong's house for dinner. No! It was Confucius who went to Chang Hong's house to read books on music.
After taking their seats, the guards made tea for Fang Jishi, and the two talked.
"The guy you're talking about?" Lao Tzu shook his head and said, "He is still a future saint?" Sage Kong? ”
"How?" Fang Jishi's face changed and asked.
"Don't say anything else! Based on the books he reads and his hobbies, I don't think much of him! ”
After Lao Tzu returned, the guards told Confucius about his "greetings". And! Knowing that Dr. Changhong knew rhythm, Confucius gave up learning etiquette and went to learn rhythm.
With this small gesture, Lao Tzu thinks: Confucius may be flashy!
A person who has a different mind and has too many interests and hobbies cannot be single-minded. If you are not single-minded, no matter how smart you are, you will not be able to learn comprehensively.
No major can be learned in three days or two days. Without being single-minded, you can only learn one scratch of the surface.
So! Lao Tzu was not optimistic about Confucius.
Although Fang Jishi had long told him that Confucius was a future sage, he just didn't believe it.
Based on his decades of life experience, or prejudices, he concluded that Confucius was a flashy man who pursued vanity.
Whether you are here to "ask for gifts" or "to study music", your professional interests determine your life state.
You don't study philosophy, you don't understand why people live and what they live for, you will always live in the clouds, and you won't know what life is for until you die.
If you don't understand what life is for, you are a confused life, and living is tantamount to living in vain and wasting the earth's resources.
"Legendary! He knows six arts! Fang Jishi helped Confucius maintain the Tao.
"Six Arts?" Lao Tzu said with contempt: "What are the six arts? The Six Arts are the basic things that people with the status of a scholar must know! He knows the six arts, and it can only be said that his realm stays at the rank of a scholar, and he can't become a saint! ”
"Mr. Lao Tzu! He came this time to ask you for advice......"
Fang Jishi wants to say: It's not what you think! Confucius didn't come to "ask for gifts", he came to ask you to solve his doubts and doubts about his life! His life has entered a period of confusion. He has learned that etiquette is not the only way to save the world......
But! Lao Tzu interrupted him.
"Teach me what? May I tell me what other lost rituals of the Zhou Dynasty were? Still is? In large-scale sacrifices or banquets, how to rehearse more scene etiquette? ”
"Mr. Lao Tzu! ......" Fang Jishi interrupted Lao Tzu's words, and was ready to defend Confucius. Outcome! Lao Tzu interrupted him.
"I took a cursory look at the ancient books he had moved to his desk, and they were all about etiquette. But! It's all big ceremonies. The ceremonial procession rehearsed by the Son of Heaven during various sacrifices, and the large ceremonial procession held by the king to greet the distinguished guests or the Son of Heaven and others.
The books he wanted to read were those that had long since been discarded, considered wasteful and unnecessary. He, Kongqiu, probably just wants to learn this, right? Later, when I returned to the Lu country, when the Lu country received the king of Qi or the kings of other countries, I rehearsed and performed to make a noise to favor and please the king, so as to mix up with a higher official position and receive a rich land, right? ……”
"This? ...... "Fang Jishi doesn't know what to say?"
He had also looked at the bamboo slips that Confucius had moved to the desk before, but he really didn't look closely.
If Confucius was really looking at books on the subject, then! His argument was weak. If Confucius looked at the source, purpose and meaning of "rites", then! You still have the confidence to defend him.
What are those big liturgys? It's about the situation. It is to let more people participate in the rehearsal, and the more people there are, the bigger the scene.
If you learn this aspect, your life will be fixed, and your character will be exposed. You're still serving the king, you're a bastard.
How can a person who eats mixed rice become a saint?
Seeing that Fang Jishi's face was a little ugly and a little unbearable, Lao Tzu eased his tone and said, "You have been with me for a while, and you have also heard my Taoism!" I study Taoism, the study of how to save the world's people, not the elementary school question of how to constrict with the management of world affairs......"
In front of Fang Jishi, Lao Tzu didn't say anything politely, and directly regarded him as a student, a junior, and a person with a good relationship. Otherwise! He's not so direct.
If it weren't for the good relationship with Fang Jishi, he wouldn't have said that about Confucius.
