Speaking of Shao music, the pianist has more words.

Although he had not seen with his own eyes what the social landscape of Emperor Shun was like, he felt it from Shao Le, which was a harmonious, orderly, quiet and free society.

According to ancient books, people at that time did not think that labor was shameful, nor did they think that labor was tiring. Opposite! I still think about labor, which is like a game, where you can kill time and have fun.

It is said that the people of Emperor Shun's period were very obsessed with labor, just like modern children, teenagers, and young people playing games. Delve into agriculture and technology in various industries to create a life.

At that time, people did not have a sense of "patent" or business, and the results of invention and creation were shared and proud.

At that time, people did not overwork, only did their duty, and did their best. Unlike the people of later generations, who worked day and night, causing sudden death. The limits of people's labor: After satisfying the needs of taxation and their own living needs, they will be satisfied with a little surplus.

At that time, the taxes were not heavy, and Emperor Shun, his ministers, and the local officials below did not pursue a luxurious life and lived like everyone else. So! The people don't pay much in taxes.

A small part of the taxes collected by Emperor Shun were used for the income of officials, and a large part was used for public construction. It is precisely because of this that the collected taxes are used for local public construction, so! The people were willing to pay taxes. Moreover! It is also shameful not to pay taxes.

It is not at all like the society of later generations, where the heavy taxes oppress the people to work day and night, and they are unable to complete their tasks. In order to complete the tax, I had to save my own money. At last! It's all about living for taxes. When some of them lived, they thought of ways to escape. Therefore! Society became chaotic.

Since labor cannot support oneself, it is better not to work. Therefore! And there was the beginning of the crime. In order to survive, people have to think of various ways. The content of life has been enriched, and society has become complex and chaotic because of it.

During the reign of Emperor Shun, officials were not extravagant and did not need to levy so many taxes. Everyone works, and there are not many idlers in society who need to be supported by others. Thus! Everyone is an idler. When there was nothing to do, everyone gathered on one side and played music and danced at the same time.

Think about that life, how beautiful it was!

In some of the ethnic minorities in the mountains in modern society, their lives are also somewhat similar to the life of Emperor Shun. People don't have much luxury, they live simply. During the festival, everyone sings and laughs together. In the evening, there is a bonfire dance.

How wonderful it is to live like that!

Life! Isn't it just to live? Why bother?

Thinking about the records in ancient books, thinking about the artistic conception of Shao Yue, and thinking about the current situation of life, the pianist cried as he spoke.

Under his infection, Confucius also burst into tears.

The luthier's tone changed, and he became mournful again. It's the same rhythm and rhythm of Shao music, and the result! Joy is born from the heart, and the sound of the piano becomes mournful.

"Boom!"

Suddenly! The luthier's strings are broken again!

"Boom! Boom! Qiang ......"

After a few clicks, all the strings broke almost at the same time!

The luthier burst into tears.

"Woohoo! Alack! Woowoo woo ......"

"Oh my God! What the hell is going on! Woo woo woo ...... "Confucius did the same, crying loudly.

It's true! Compassion!

Inside! The two of them cried loudly! Outside! Everyone was so anxious that they rubbed their hands and stomped their feet.

"Sir! Mr! Mr! ……”

A few of the listeners couldn't sit still, and stood outside the door and whispered inside.

The two cried for a while before they stopped crying. After glancing at each other, they shook their heads and smiled bitterly. And then! A few more whimperes.

"Confucius! Nai Gao's confidant! The luthier beckoned, calm as usual.

"Gotta meet Mr. Luck for Confucius! Confucius arched his hand.

"Confucius is also a courtesy! Tall! Leya! The pianist said.

"Etiquette and music complement each other, and the world is also governed!" Confucius said.

"Yes! Yes, too! The luthier replied. Turn! His face changed, and he sighed: "But in today's world, how many people can understand the importance of etiquette and music?" How many other people besides you and me? Alack! ……”

"Etiquette is the code of conduct, happiness is the spiritual sentiment, without etiquette, the world will be chaotic!"

"Yes!" The pianist responded: "But in today's world, people in the world think more about themselves, where to care about others. People in the world only care about their own enjoyment, and do not care about the life and death of others, and it is strange that the world is not chaotic. To know! Others are not stupid! If you do this to others, others will do to you! This repeatedly, the world is even more chaotic.

But in today's world, when today's princes, kings and hereditary nobles, how many of them recognize this? Most of them, seeing only the present, only their own present, and not seeing the future at all......"

"Yes! Oh, yes! Confucius replied: "Among the princes, kings, and hereditary nobles of today, there should be people who recognize it." But? Too many people don't realize that just a few of them can't make the climate ......"

Confucius brought out Lao Tzu's theory.

In modern language, it means that today's social ideology has been formed, and the social trend is like this. Relying only on a few people of insight and a few sober wise men to call for and put into practice cannot stop the wheel of history.

It's true! In the face of the process of history, a few wise men are like mantis arms blocking the car.

The pianist and Confucius talked until late at night, without eating or feeling hungry.

After talking about Shaole, we talked about the society of Emperor Shun and the modern society, and compared the society of the two periods. And then! Talk about etiquette and music, and then talk about how to govern society.

The two had that feeling of seeing each other late, and before they knew it, it was dawn.

After washing, the two had a simple breakfast and did not go to rest, and continued to talk about the topic.

Before! Confucius spoke of "propriety". Right now! Under the interpretation of the pianist, he talked about music again.

Confucius's "ritual music" began at this time.

Etiquette and music are the needs of social norms. Benevolence and righteousness are self-cultivation and cultivation to meet the needs of social management.

After a deep discussion with the luthier, Confucius set a framework for his theory. If you want to save society, you must first cultivate yourself, you must first correct yourself, and then correct people! We must lead by example and be an example to the world. And then! Use etiquette to regulate the behavior of the world, and use music to cultivate the sentiments of the world......

After a long conversation of several days and nights, the two became close friends. Afterwards! Confucius followed the pianist to learn music, and the pianist followed Confucius to learn etiquette, and the two became mentors and friends, and they forgot their friends.

More than three months passed, and Confucius didn't know how the days passed. Even! Don't know what you've eaten? Heartfelt admiration: "Don't try to be happy!" "Learn, I don't know the taste of meat in March. ”
