Woo Niu......

When Chen Jie pushed the door, Chen Guogang was reading a book in the study.

The door was not opened, but a crack was pressed, and Chen Jie showed half of his head, looking naughty.

"Dad, you haven't rested yet, have you?"

"Have you finished reading the comics?"

Chen Guogang's eyes are still locked on the "Old Tang Book" in his hand, recently, he seems to have been connected with the history of the Tang Dynasty, and he just stumbled on the "New Tang Book" some time ago, and he has been competing with the "Old Tang Book" again in the past few days. Hearing Chen Jie come in, he only glanced at him with his spare eyes.

Not to mention, Chen Guogang's father's frame is really like that.

He knew that Chen Jie had read the comics for an afternoon, and he didn't care. Being a father is different from being a mother, rational, and not so nagging. Chen Guogang has been doing stock work for so many years, and he has read the "Book of Changes" so many times, and he doesn't even understand the principle of combining work and rest, so he really has to be blinded by Chen Jie.

Chen Guogang has no objection to his son reading comics, after all, Chen Jie's independence has been exercised, he knows the priority, as long as the general direction is okay, Chen Guogang is also happy to be idle.

After all, deep in Chen Guogang's heart, he had even mentally prepared in advance for the worst outcome of his son's sudden misfortune, what is a small comic?

"Dad, aren't you busy right now?" Seeing that his father didn't react, Chen Jie stood up straight, pushed the door and walked in.

"What's the problem, when did you learn to beat around the bush?" Chen Guogang closed the book and looked at him with a smile.

It's not that Chen Jie is beating around the bush, but when he thinks of talking about the Book of Changes, he is always apprehensive, hesitant, and resistant.

An unknown force lingered around Chen Jie, stirring up the atmosphere in the room.

I only heard Chen Jie hesitate: "Dad, I plan to start studying the Book of Changes tomorrow, but there is always something wrong with the current state. ”

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Chen Jie's request for help, Chen Guogang put down the book in his hand, and he understood that it was time for him to fulfill his father's obligations again. At this moment, Chen Jie is at a crossroads and does not know where to go, and he needs Chen Guogang to provide guidance.

"Well......" Chen Jie said thoughtfully, "this feeling is a bit similar to when I first started reading the Analects. ”

Even if the old Chen family style is traditional, it does not mean that Chen Jie can accept traditional culture by nature.

At the beginning of enlightenment, Chen Jie, "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names" also memorized, but at that time, his consciousness was still in the embryonic stage, basically what his father asked him to memorize, he memorized, and the content of these words was very neutral, and did not involve the logical core area of Chinese culture.

When Chen Jie was a little older, Chen Guogang only let him get in touch with Tang poetry and Song Ci, this kind of text is not logical, but has a strong artistry, first, to increase his literacy, and second, it can also reduce Chen Jie's strangeness to the literary language, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for later learning.

It can be said that since Chen Jie's birth, Chen Guogang has a complete set of syllabuses for cultivating his son in his stomach, and every move of Chen Jie's chess is within his plan.

It wasn't until Chen Jie entered primary school, when he was in the third or fourth grade, that Chen Guogang introduced him to the Analects, which, unlike the enlightened books and Tang and Song poems, began to systematically introduce the values and methods of Chinese civilization.

Of course, the so-called methodology in the Analects is mainly the principles of self-cultivation, dealing with the world, and governing the country and the country.

Although it does not involve other disciplines, this set of management has a very complete system, ranging from managing oneself to managing the country.

The so-called "half of the treatise on the rule of the world" is not unreasonable.

Unfortunately, this book only deals with management, and if it were not for the policy intervention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to depose Confucianism, the methodology of science and technology would have been carried forward by Lu Ban or Mozi.

History, there is never a word if.

Chen Guogang asked Chen Jie to read the Analects, not out of ambition, and he did not expect Chen Jie to participate in the management of the state in the future. Studying the Analects is just to let Chen Jie first learn how to behave in the world before he is born in society.

In addition, in his opinion, Chen Jie, as a descendant of Huaxia, if he doesn't even understand the ideological realm of his ancestors, is it a bit too much?

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and there was one thing that Chen Guogang miscalculated, or rather, he underestimated Chen Jie's curiosity and desire for knowledge.

Chen Jie has not many children, he has nothing to do, he can only read books to pass the time, and in the third grade of primary school, he has read more than ten times that of children of the same age.

When Chen Guogang asked him to study the Analects, Chen Jie had already read a lot of miscellaneous articles, and Chen Jie did not know how to examine at that time, listening to the wind is rain, and he believed what the articles said, and it was a critical period for the formation of consciousness, so he had some preconceived concepts.

Unfortunately, Chen Jie's contact in advance was the idea of "bringing down the Confucian family" and trying to deny tradition.

Therefore, when Chen Guogang asked Chen Jie to study the Analects, the latter's heart was quite resistant. Not to mention, it is indeed somewhat similar to today's situation.

Fortunately, Chen Guogang is good at vaccination, and a long time ago, he reminded Chen Jie, one is dark, one is bright, and the other is not superstitious and authoritative, otherwise his teaching plan is really not easy to carry out.

Knowing that listening and listening is clear, although Chen Jie resisted, he did not blindly obey, he gave Chen Guogang a chance to correct his deviations.

It is said that the truth becomes clearer the more it is debated, not that the truth becomes clearer and clearer the more it is discussed, but that after discussion, people's confusion becomes less and less, and the truth itself is self-evident, and the reason why it needs to be discussed is that the people discussing it have confusion in their hearts, not that the truth needs to be corrected.

The so-called correction of deviation is the correction of people, not the truth.

Zhuangzi once said: "If three people are confused and one person is confused, the fittest can still lead to it, and there are few confused people; If the two are confused, they will not work, and the confused one will win. ”

Modern people have a headache when they look at the literary language, but in fact, it is easy to understand when translated. Zhuangzi is saying that two people who understand teach a fool, and the fool may also understand the problem; If two fools teach one to understand, after a long time, the person who understands will have to become a fool.

After all, Chinese civilization has been inherited for at least 5,000 years, and the problem of cultural fault lines is deepening. Chen Guogang feels that the most serious problem of this era is that there are too many fools and too few people who understand, and this problem will only get worse with the passage of time.

From the perspective of truth, Chen Guogang thinks that he is also a fool, in order not to mislead Chen Jie counterproductively, many times he only dares to give a direction, he prefers to let Chen Jie find the answer himself.

With this premise, and then correct Chen Jie, Chen Guogang also has a target.

His thinking is very clear, even if he recognizes tradition, but this is his answer after all. For tradition, he does not intend to cover the derogatory words in Chen Jie's heart with a lot of praise and deprecation, he hopes that Chen Jie will put aside the prejudice of praise and disparagement to form his own cognition.

What Chen Guogang has to do is to dissolve the stereotypes and prejudices in Chen Jie's heart, turn him into a blank sheet of paper again, and then give him a direction to explore on his own.

After a brief understanding, Chen Guogang learned that Chen Jie's negative impression of Confucianism mainly stemmed from two works: "Kong Yiji" and "Fan Jin Zhongju".

With a direction, Chen Guogang quoted the famous words of Confucius and said to Chen Jie: "People have no faith, and they don't know what they can do." Big car without 輗 (ní), small car without 軏 (yuè), how can it be done?"

It means that if a person does not speak of credibility, he really does not know what to do. Just like the axle of a large car has no live key, and the axle of a small car is missing a buckle, how can it be driven?

After throwing out the argument, Chen Guogang came up with an argument, he used the costume officialdom dramas often performed on TV as an example, and asked rhetorically:

"Those who rushed to take the exam kept saying that they were reading the books of the sages, but how many of them came into the examination room with cheat sheets? What kind of integrity is this? With different hearts and mouths, such a person is embarrassed to say that he is a saint's disciple and a protégé of Confucius?! ”

An example is not enjoyable, Chen Guogang continues to quote, or the words of Confucius: "The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, but the evil of not an adult." The villain is the opposite. ”

It means that a gentleman helps good people do good deeds and does not help bad people do bad deeds. Villains are the opposite.

Chen Guogang also took court dramas as an example and continued:

"Take the imperial examination as an example, those invigilators who accepted bribes also relied on sage books to enter the officialdom back then, and naturally understood the truth that unintentional wrongdoing is wrong, and intentionally wrongdoing is evil."

"Cheating candidates read the book of sages, naturally understand the word integrity, knowingly commit it is of course evil, but the bribery official not only did not stop it in time but became the evil of cheating, such a villainous act, but also embarrassed to say that he is a protégé of Confucius?!"

At this point, Chen Guogang will not extend it again, and these two points alone are enough to prove his point.

The reason why modern China is backward is not that there is a problem with Confucian theory, but that there is a problem with the people who implement it. On the other hand, the characters Kong Yiji and Fan Jin have a little gentlemanly demeanor, even if they are put in modern times and learn scientific knowledge, they are still two nerds with academic qualifications and no ability!

The spirit of Confucianism has always emphasized: it is a pleasure to have friends from afar. The reason why friends from afar are welcome is not how hospitable the Chinese are, but because of the ancient traffic blockage, friends from afar can bring things that are not available locally.

It's just that after more than 2,000 years of inheritance, this sentence has been more understood as Chinese hospitality. Chinese are hospitable, but Chinese are better at learning than hospitality.

If it weren't for the fact that modern China was complacent, arrogant, and contrary to the traditional yang and yin, how could China miss the two industrial revolutions in succession, and finally fall into Pingyang and be bullied by dogs! This is still a friend from afar, isn't it fun?!

Generations of half-understanding have led to false rumors for later generations. Chen Guogang's heart ached for this, so he was especially disgusted with Chen Jie's lack of understanding when he was studying.

Chen Guogang has always believed that the spirit of the May Fourth martyrs is good, but their conclusions are found! Wrong! Finish!

Excitement is excitement, the impact of first impressions on people is too deep after all, even if Chen Jie understands it, it is not an overnight thing to eliminate stereotypes.

Therefore, Chen Guogang's words, at first glance, although they made sense, Chen Jie still resisted, and only listened to him resist at that time:

"Foreign countries don't rely on Confucianism, they still live well, wouldn't it be good if I learned the knowledge in class, why do I have to watch this?"
