Chapter Seventy-Eight: Educating the People (Asking for Subscription!)

"Bin!"

There are five ceremonies in the art of etiquette, the sacrificial thing is the auspicious ceremony, the funeral thing is the fierce ceremony, the military thing is the military ceremony, the guest thing is the guest ceremony, and the crown wedding is the family ceremony.

At this time, the old man made a guest salute, and the momentum rolled in, majestic but not strict, heartbreaking, but it was invisibly anti-guest-oriented, as if he was the real inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism.

This kind of heart-shaking impact made Fu Nian and Yan Lu's bodies tremble, beads of sweat dripping down their foreheads, and their clothes were already soaked.

"A gentleman is virtuous and can tolerate (pĆ­), know and tolerate foolishness, broad and can tolerate shallowness, pure and tolerant of miscellaneous!"

However, at this moment, Master Xun spoke, and Lang Lang's voice spread throughout the entire Six Arts Pavilion.

No one is perfect, no gold is enough, these words are ironic that as soon as the old man enters the small sage village, he is aggressive, intolerant of people, and loses courtesy, and now he is doing it with courtesy, not a gentleman.

is not only a refutation on the lips, but Master Xun wraps his hands around and also salutes.

This ritual is not a solemn sacrificial ritual in the six arts, but contains the sincerity and enthusiasm of the host to welcome guests to visit, discuss knowledge, and exchange ideas.

What is a gentleman?

Take benevolence as grace, righteousness as reason, and etiquette as action, and call him a gentleman!

In contrast, the six arts of Confucianism practiced by the old man were confined to the form, but the vitality of heaven and earth driven by it turned to the side of Xun Fuzi, and there was a faint sound of gorgeous music, birds and songs, and the murmuring of springs.

"Sons, sages, please advise!"

Not to mention that Confucianism was impressed, Gu Cheng also spoke through the old man, and his tone revealed joy.

But Tiandi Jinqiao did not give up.

This artifact of the Water Mirror Palace, the spirit in it may also be a Confucian sage, but it obviously does not recognize Xunzi's meaning.

So he stretched his sleeves again.

At this exhibition, the surrounding clouds were surging rapidly, forming a phantom in front of him.

This phantom high-crowned ancient costume, with a square face, seems to be the enlargement of the old man's size, and it seems to integrate the beliefs of thousands of scholars in the world, the blessing of countless wills, and the breath shocks the hearts of every spectator.

Gongsun Linglong's huge body retreated again and again, and fell into the water with a bang, the Confucian disciple's heart was shaken, and he collapsed to the ground, and the faces of Fu Nian, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang also became pale and crumbling.

"Ji!"

It's just because what the old man performed this time is the strongest of the six Confucian arts.

Rite is the crown of the six arts, and auspiciousness is the crown of the five rites.

Sacrifice to the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth!

Suddenly, the wind surged, and the will of the world seemed to be blessed on this phantom, revealing a supreme spirit of the unity of heaven and man, ruling the firmament, and then slowly bowing down.

This worship is the real power of heaven and earth, under the avenue, it is irresistible!

"Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. ā€

However, Master Xun is extremely calm about the relationship between heaven and man.

In the eyes of Master Xun, it can be used to control the destiny of heaven, that is to say, as long as human beings master the laws of nature, they can use it to serve themselves, rather than imposing the will of people on the sky to change the laws.

This view is undoubtedly a "blasphemy" of etiquette.

The reason why auspicious rites are the crown of the five rites is precisely because it is a sacrifice to the sky, and as a result, Master Xun wants to use heaven in turn.

Gu Cheng showed appreciation.

In later generations, many Confucian scholars respected Confucius and Mencius and belittled Xunzi, reprimanding him for deviating from the true transmission of Confucius and Mencius Confucianism, and going into heresy.

"The trend of the avenue has never been to stick to the ancient rites and go with the flow. ā€

Therefore, in the face of the colossal pressure of Jili, Xun Fuzi advanced step by step, not in a hurry or slowly, full of unwavering determination.

Etiquette, but also reason!

The world is big, and the truth is the greatest!

Since it is a Confucian contest, convince people with reason!

At this moment, the old man bowed, Xunzi walked, and the two Confucian master-level figures competed against each other, and the golden characters of the book that had dissipated before resurfaced.

The spirit is overflowing, the spirit is integrated, the ocean is sprinkled, and the words are beautiful.

The thoughts of the two officially collided.

"Hey, the instrument spirit of this Heaven and Earth Golden Bridge is Dong Zhongshu's incarnation?"

Gu Cheng is not only in the battle, but also a bystander overlooking the overall situation, Xun Fuzi is naturally "Xunzi", and the golden characters around the old man are "Spring and Autumn Dew".

The spirit of this heaven and earth golden bridge is also a famous figure in history.

Deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone Dong Zhongshu.

This great Confucian had a mixed reputation in later generations, because he theologized Confucianism and turned it into a unique official school.

He believes that "heaven" is the highest deity, a personality god with will, consciousness, and can control the fate of the world.

He also absorbed the ideas of Legalism, Taoism, and Yin-Yang to build a system with the "Three Principles and Five Constants" as the core, which provided a theoretical basis for the monarch to rule on behalf of Heaven.

From the perspective of imperial power, Dong Zhongshu's doctrine is undoubtedly extremely appropriate, after all, the hundred years since the founding of the Western Han Dynasty were extremely peaceful, and rebellions often occurred in the country, until the rule of ideology, the imperial power was completely stabilized.

But this doctrine does deviate from the original intent of Confucianism.

What will happen when he meets the Confucian master Xunzi?

There was no fierce collision, no earth-shattering sound, and the phantom above Dong Zhongshu's head collapsed directly.

"I'm at fault!"

The instrument spirit was stunned for a long time, bowed his hand, and disappeared.

Admire.

Guilty.

"Regardless of the virtuous or foolish, educate all the people, have ambitions and ambitions, and unite knowledge and action!"

Gu Cheng closed his eyes and realized silently.

Standing in his position, looking at the upper and lower five thousand years, whether it is Xun Fuzi or Dong Zhongshu, they are the needs of the times and came into being, so he does not look at right and wrong, but draws on the strengths of both.

With the power of this Confucian Dao, the Twelve Scrolls of Tianshu can be popularized at the fastest speed, regardless of the virtuous and foolish, and educate all people.

"Let's go!"

Gongsun Linglong finally climbed ashore, shook the dead fish and shrimp on his body, and when he was angry, he saw Gongsun Long carrying his hands and walking towards the outside of the village.

"Grandpa, aren't we going to provoke Master Xun to go to Chu State?"

She asked, puzzled.

"Why bring shame on yourself?"

Gongsun Long sighed and said: "He is a real grandmaster, I can't do it, but where is the way of my famous master?"

For the next few days, Gongsun Long was thinking and meditating, and he was no longer in high spirits.

Until he was about to leave the border of Qi State, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him to stop him, and the leader was a tall and thin man with a temperament very different from ordinary people, and he screamed: "The decree stipulates that you are not allowed to take horses out of the customs!"

Gongsun Linglong is piling up anger in her heart these days, and when she heard this, she was furious, and jumped out of the carriage with a bang: "Just a pawn, dare to stop my famous horse, see how I play him!"
