Fang Zhao's face couldn't hold back when he was said, but he didn't know how to refute it, and his face was flushed.

Cao Hui hurriedly stood up to relieve him and said: "We are also new to the Tang Kingdom, and we don't know many rules very clearly, please forgive us." ”

The big man said: "It's just that I can persuade you because you have just arrived, if the old man had already cursed." ”

"In the past, we lived a life that was not called people, but we finally came to the Tang Kingdom, and when we met a king who thought about the people, we had to protect this place......"

A few carpenters began to babble and 'teach the rules' to a few newcomers.

People must know how to be grateful, know what to do to protect the good life now, and popularize a lot of knowledge to them.

Walk on the right as much as possible on the road, queue up to buy things, and don't spit and urinate......

The four of them had extremely complicated feelings when they listened, but they didn't expect to be educated by a few carpenters who couldn't read a few big characters.

In another place, they would have been beaten a long time ago, and the humiliating scholars deserved to be beaten, and they could even be sentenced if they were sent to the government. But this is the Tang Kingdom, and the other party is tall and big, so they don't dare.

However, Cao Hui soon discovered a problem: "Why don't you object to so many rules?" ”

Dahan asked rhetorically, "Why oppose it?" Keep to the right, queue up for shopping, and don't spit...... Isn't that all common sense? It's like eating and sleeping. ”

Cao Hui still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Zhou Qi and sighed: "I understand, for us these rules are a lot, but for them these have become a part of life." ”

"It's as if we have to press our left hand on our right hand to perform the prostration, and no one finds it troublesome. Because we're used to it, we can do it with a raise of our hand. ”

……

Soon they came across a village, and the big man in the carriage at the front of them said loudly, "I have arrived, do you want to stay and have a few drinks?" ”

"Haha...... When you hear it, you don't have sincerity, don't you see us driving the carriage? Invite us to drink, you want us to do hard labor, don't you? ”

"I think that's what he thinks, and when we all go in, he can take over all five villages."

"Bah, we don't fall for you, and we don't want to be rare for your wine."

"Haha...... Hurry home, I'm tired all the way. ”

The four carriages behind him overtook him and left.

Chen Xiu and the others thought about it and followed the carriage into the village. The reason is that we have just come here and want to see everywhere.

The carpenter immediately raised his vigilance and said, "I will find the village to accompany you, and if you don't have the village to accompany you in the village, you will be arrested as a gangster." ”

Chen Xiu and the others knew that he was, but there was no way. On the contrary, say hello to the carpenter's alertness.

On the way into the village, the number of people encountered began to increase, and people kept greeting the carpenter and asking Chen Xiu about the origin of the five people.

The carpenter raised his voice and said that this was a newcomer who had just come to the Tang Kingdom, and he was visiting everywhere, and asked them to call Muramasa.

Immediately a few men followed, and surrounded them faintly, until the village was in the first place.

The village Zheng of the Tang Kingdom is different from the village Zheng of other countries, and they have passed the assessment and have more knowledge than ordinary people.

At a glance, it can be seen that the five people are not simple, especially Zhao Fang, who still has short hair, guessed that maybe he came for a private visit, which is called enthusiasm.

He took them around the village and gave a detailed introduction to the situation in the village. For fear that they would not believe, he took them to the people's homes to visit and sit down.

Chen Xiu suddenly regained his arrogance, and seemed to feel ashamed to talk to the mud legs. Fang Zhao and Cao Hui didn't know what the reason was, and they became uninterested in these things.

Only Zhou Qishi inquired in great detail: the academy, the infirmary, taxes, officials and other aspects were asked.

I was afraid that the village was lying, so I ran to ask the people, but the answer was the same.

Even he pretended to be sick and went to the infirmary to ask Lang Zhong for treatment, and the doctor looked at it for a long time, and finally said ashamedly:

"I have limited medical skills, so I can only see that you lack sleep and should have a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere else, it is recommended to go to the town or Mengqi City to see a doctor. ”

I didn't see how this Langzhong's medical skills were, but I could see that the attitude was good, anyway, Zhou Qi felt very satisfied.

Then he went to the academy, where a gentleman was giving a lecture to the students: "Understanding the words of the saints is a three-step process. ”

"The first step is to start with the whole, to know what the sages are expounding as a whole. The second step is to interpret and study word by word and experience a deeper level of thought. ”

"The third step is practice, and all the knowledge we learn is ultimately to serve the ...... of practice."

"Let's start with the first step, why start with the whole thing. If you don't know the overall thinking of the sages, it's easy to make mistakes when interpreting them......"

For example, the people can make it impossible to know it, and many people interpret it as: the people can make it, and it can be made by it; You can't make it, you know it. This is a completely ridiculous solution......"

"Who was Confucius? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the punishment was not inferior to the doctor's courtesy. Words and etiquette are exclusive to the powerful, and ordinary people have no access to them at all. ”

"Confucius was the first great sage to impart knowledge to ordinary people, and he pioneered private learning, teaching without class......

"How can such a man say that the people can be made? Thou shalt not know, the words of such fools? It is truly sad that the original intention of the sages has been completely distorted by the world......"

The real interpretation of this sentence should be, the people can, make it; No, let it be known. It means that what can be done is to be done by them, and what cannot be done is to tell them why they can't do it. ”

"You see, just by changing the pronunciation of the sentence, the meaning of the sentence changes completely......"

The four people outside were still listening with disapproval, what kind of truth can the enlightenment school in a village say?

However, after listening to it, I was dumbfounded, subversive, completely subversive.

The people can make it impossible to know it, but the interpretation method that has been used for thousands of years has been subverted here, and what people say seems to be justified.

Chen Xiu's face was different for the first time, and Zhou Qi was very excited, of course, this had something to do with the fact that he was not a Confucian disciple.

Cao Hui and Fang Zhao were authentic Confucianists, and when they heard someone make subversive remarks, they were first surprised, then annoyed.

Because their family also interpreted the Analects in the same way, and now they are naturally reluctant to be denied.

"How can this be true, how can this be true, a little Mr. Mengxue actually dares to say the meaning of the ancestors, it is really bold."

The teachers and students in the room did not know what was going on outside, and they were still lecturing: "Let's talk about the second step, which is to interpret it word by word. It is important to remember that the interpretation should never be separated from the first step. ”

"The word-by-word interpretation is also based on the original intention of the sages, otherwise it is easy to take the original meaning of the sages out of context and tamper with them."

"For example, repaying grievances with virtue. What was the original intention of the sages? How to repay virtue with virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. ”

"The original intention of the sages was to let us have revenge and revenge and repay virtue with virtue, but some people like to take things out of context, pick out the grievances with virtue alone, and tell the world the way of forgiveness."

"Don't you listen to him, he also said that you don't respect the saint's will...... Students must remember that this kind of person is either stupid or bad. ”

"In the future, when you encounter this kind of person who asks you to repay your grievances with virtue, you must stay away from him."
