Chapter 499: Confucius enters the Zhou library to read

The Great Zhou Emperor Ji Kuo was reluctant to see Confucius, and Fang Jishi had no choice.

Also! There is a world's first genius Lao Tzu by the side of the Son of Heaven, and there is no need to meet a little-known little man Confucius.

The current Confucius is just an ordinary person. In the Great Zhou world, such people grasp a lot of people. Let alone! Confucius's current research direction is Zhou Li, and it is not a profound knowledge.

Learning etiquette is only said to be sorting out ancient books, and there is no creativity.

And Lao Tzu's study of Taoism is a creative project, a major event and a great project that will benefit thousands of generations.

To say that Confucius is the future sage is Fang Jishi's personal opinion, not a fact. What Confucius will look like in the future, no one knows yet. Judging from his current research direction, there is no future for development.

So! Fang Jishi did not strongly recommend: the Great Zhou Tianzi Ji Kuo to meet this future saint.

There's Lao Tzu here! Confucius had to step aside.

Let alone! The current Confucius is not old enough. A person in his thirties has not yet reached maturity in terms of outlook on life and thoughts.

A person's outlook on life is fixed around the age of thirty, and a person's mind matures around the age of fifty. What is the person like when he is about thirty years old, probably there is no development. A person's preconceptions mature at the age of fifty, and at the age of fifty he has all kinds of strange tempers, and he can't change them in this life.

Of course! This is a universal phenomenon, not an isolated phenomenon, with the exception of a few people and the wise.

The next day, Fang Jishi took Confucius into the palace, and went straight to the Zhou Tibetan Room without going anywhere else.

When he arrived at the Zhou Library, Fang Jishi knew that the Great Zhou Library had been robbed again.

In the past, the prince Ji Dynasty sent a large fire to burn it once. Since the rebellion of the prince Ji Dynasty, it has been burned several times.

Prince Ji Chao and others deliberately destroyed the palace and Nakyi City in the name of war. Even if he can't win the position of the Son of Heaven, he won't let others have a good time.

If he wins the position of the Son of Heaven, he can use the financial resources of the Chu State to restore Luoyi City, restore the imperial palace, and restore the Zhou Zang Room.

Looking at the ruins of the Zhou Tibetan Room, Confucius's expression was ugly. It can be seen that this person who loves books like his life, he is distressed.

After entering the Zhou Zang Room, everyone's expressions improved a lot.

In the Zhou Tibetan room, the sound of the piano is melodious. A middle-aged luthier was playing music in the courtyard, looking very focused. Fang Jishi, Confucius and others came in, but he didn't notice it, and he was completely intoxicated by the music.

Confucius stood in place from a distance, listening carefully to the music, and his expression suddenly became serious.

Fang Jishi saw that Confucius was pretending to compare, and also stopped. He is a martial artist and doesn't understand music, so naturally he can't hear the charm of music.

At the end of the song, the musician rests his hands flat on the edge of the piano and closes his eyes, as if he is savoring the aftermath and indulging in the realm of music.

Fang Jishi saw that the pianist was also pretending, so he beckoned to Confucius, and then also pretended to be lightly up, and walked to the library inside.

Confucius paused for a moment, and then followed lightly.

Entering the library, Fang Jishi breathed a sigh of relief.

The outside of the Zhou storage room is a ruined wall, but inside it is a different scene. Under the management of Lao Tzu, the bookshelves are placed in rows. The bamboo slips on the bookshelves are neatly stacked and spotless.

Some of the half-burned ancient books are still on the shelves as memorials. Next to the burnt ancient books, a new roll of bamboo slips is placed. Obviously! This is a new version "cloned" by Lao Tzu.

Confucius, who followed lightly, saw the room full of books, and suddenly changed to a different person, like an arrow from a string, and rushed to the bookshelf. When you see the label on the shelf, you quickly flip through it.

Seeing Confucius's greedy cat appearance, Fang Jishi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I thought: What are you anxious about? If you read all the books here, you won't be able to read them all in your life. If you were in the Western Zhou Dynasty, if all the books existed, you wouldn't be able to read them all in your lifetime. Selectively viewing, a person will be choked after reading it all his life.

Recorded in history! There were only two people who read all the books in the Western Zhou Zhou Collection. One died, leaving no reading experience, not knowing what he got from these books. The other one, after reading all the books, went crazy and did not write down his reading experience, and future generations do not know what he got from these books.

These two people didn't read all the books, they only read the subject they studied, as well as the books of related disciplines.

The wider a person's knowledge, the more books they need to read. A person's knowledge is limited, and he reads fewer books. There are a lot of books that they don't need to read.

After the Western Zhou Dynasty moved to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, only Lao Tzu alone read all the books in the library. Of course! It's the same with Lao Tzu, he only reads the books of the disciplines he studies and related disciplines, not all of them. Lao Tzu's main research direction later was "philosophy", which was Taoism, and it was his "Taoism". So! It only took him thirty or forty years to finish all the books he wanted. Moreover! Wrote about his reading experience.

Lao Tzu's reading experience is the "Tao Te Ching" handed down from later generations. Reputedly! At that time, there was no such thing as "Tao Te Ching", only "Tao Ching" and "Tao Ching". Later generations combined the Tao Jing and the De Ching together, which became today's Tao Te Ching.

Confucius looked at it for a while before putting down the bamboo slip in his hand and going to check out other books. He flipped like a thief. When you see the book you want to read, you can't put it down. But! Driven by a strong desire, he went on to find other books.

When he was in Qufu, Lu State, Confucius often went to Ji Pingzi's library to read books when he was a teenager. So! He knew the names of many ancient books. Unfortunately! In Ji Pingzi's library, there are no books.

Right now! There were many books in the Zhou Library, and he could see them. Other than that! There were many, many books whose names he had never even heard of, let alone what they contained.

I thought: The books that naturally entered the Zhou library should all be important and have their collection value. Books on the basics of one plus one equals two are impossible to collect.

Seeing Confucius's "emphasis on books and light on friends", Fang Jishi shook his head with a wry smile and walked away. Come outside, see! The previous luthier is still sitting there. It's just that! Changed the sitting position.

In the past, the luthier was sitting upright, his eyes closed, and he was concentrating. Right now! The luthier sat down in his seat, his eyes wide open, and he looked in a daze.

This luthier, Fang Jishi didn't know. In the past, there was no such person as him in the Zhou Zang room.

Fang Jishi also found that he had not come to Luoyi for several years, had not come to the Zhou Zang Room, and his old acquaintances had disappeared. Quite possibly? These old acquaintances, as well as the guards, all died in the "defense battle".

After several wars between the prince Ji Dynasty and King Zhou Mourning and King Jing of Zhou, Luoyi City has become a matter of things.
