He Xianglin hurriedly greeted Duan Xinyu.

Duan Xinyu nodded with a smile, slander to slander, she could always remember her purpose, restrain her emotions, and said to Chen Tianyang: "When you were in class, you only emphasized Taoism, but in addition to Taoism, there is also Confucianism in Huaxia, and strictly speaking, from ancient times to the present, the influence of Confucianism has always surpassed Taoism, even if Taoism is pursuing the most fundamental origin of the universe, then Confucianism is completely pragmatic." ”

Chen Tianyang shook his head and smiled.

"What, you think I'm not right?" Duan Xinyu was stunned.

"Naturally, it's not." Strictly speaking, the most fundamental pursuit of Confucianism is actually no different from Taoism, and it is also the pursuit of 'Dao', but Confucianism has Manifest Studies and Esoteric Studies, and Manifest Studies is to build a society of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith', and Esoteric Studies is cultivation, that is, cultivation.

It is a pity that the public only knows Confucianism, but does not know Confucian Esoteric learning, so they think that Confucianism is shallow than Taoism, which is just a prejudice, for example, "The Mean", the most fundamental mind of Confucianism is all in "The Mean", and the opening chapter mentions that "the mandate of heaven is sexuality, the spontaneity is the Tao, and the cultivation of the Tao is teaching".

The so-called opening is clear, the first sentence of "The Mean" focuses on what is the "Dao", the "Dao" here is not fundamentally different from the "Dao" pursued by the Taoists, but the secular public does not understand, Mr. Duan, let me ask you, what is the "Mandate of Heaven"? ”

"Destiny?" A trace of confusion flashed in Duan Xinyu's eyes, shook his head, and said, "Thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, to be honest, I don't know what the mandate of heaven is." ”

Duan Xinyu's reaction was expected by Chen Tianyang, and he said with a smile: "Knowing the destiny of heaven at the age of fifty is the realm of Confucius, and Confucius reading "Zhou Yi" at the age of fifty, did you find the connection?" That's why Confucius said, 'If you don't read Yi, you can't know the Mandate of Heaven'.

"Zhou Yi" is already discussing the truth of the operation of the universe, and its content and "Tao Te Ching" can corroborate each other, and Confucius's so-called "Mandate of Heaven" is all in "Zhou Yi", so there is no fundamental difference between Confucianism and Taoism.

For example, Taoists often say that 'the Tao enters with sincerity', and "The Mean" focuses on what is called 'sincerity', how to achieve 'sincerity', and the mysteries and wonders of 'sincerity', which is the intrinsic connection between Taoism and Confucianism. ”

After that, Chen Tianyang sighed regretfully.

Duan Xinyu's eyes widened, and she was surprised in her heart, Chen Tianyang's theory, she had never thought of it before, right or not, at least it sounded very reasonable, well, it was very reasonable, except for violating the cognitive common sense of the secular public, there was no other problem.

"Sure enough, Chen Tianyang has a lot of knowledge in his head that he doesn't know, and this trip to find Chen Tianyang is really the right one!"

Duan Xinyu felt a burst of excitement in her heart, and her beautiful eyes began to shine, in her eyes, Chen Tianyang had become a treasure, and she couldn't help but want to dig further.

So, she couldn't wait to ask Chen Tianyang some more questions, so much so that she couldn't even bother to watch the wonderful welcome party begin.

And Chen Tianyang's answer did not disappoint her, she was always unexpected, and even many theories violated the common sense of the secular public, but Chen Tianyang quoted the classics again, and the classics of the Taoist and Confucian families were at hand, and they could confirm each other, which made her suddenly open her mouth, and she was also surprised in her heart, and she was even more curious about Chen Tianyang.

At this moment, Chen Tianyang is like a teacher, and Duan Xinyu is like a student.

For Chen Tianyang, he has lived in the mountains since he was a child, and the most on the mountain is the rows of ancient books, which contain the classics of the hundreds of schools.

Zhou Ruohua and He Xianglin, the two daughters, originally listened to Chen Tianyang's explanations from time to time, but they only felt obscure and dizzy, so they concentrated on watching the welcome party.
