"No wonder Mencius's ideas were not accepted by the monarchs of the vassal states."

Mencius finished.

Everyone has a basic understanding of why Confucianism was not very important in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This does not mean that if you are highly educated, you will be able to be reused.

It depends on the fact that your scholarly charm is not in the interests of the monarch.

If so, then the monarch may push your mind.

If it doesn't match.

So.

Some monarchs may still treat you well, while others may just kick you out or even kill you.

But.

When Chen Fan talked about this series of pre-Qin princes, everyone gradually had a clearer understanding of the hundred schools of thought.

"Brother Fan, the Spring and Autumn Princes have a hundred schools, and a hundred schools of thought are singing together, it is really brilliant."

"Yes, there is Mozi, there is Huizi, there is Zhuangzi, there is Laozi, and now Mencius. If I really want to say it, I think that many times, these sons are not necessarily inferior to Confucius. ”

"Yes."

The crowd also nodded.

As for why everyone is most familiar with Confucius.

That's because the Han Dynasty overthrew the hundred schools and respected Confucianism.

But this is in line with what was said before.

Why did the Han Dynasty choose Confucianism and not anything else?

This is because times are different.

Confucianism may not have performed well in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when competing for interests, but in the era of the great unification of the Han Dynasty, it still has its own uniqueness.

"Brother Fan, we want to ask, apart from these sages, are there any other sons?"

"Of course."

Chen Fan nodded: "Since it is said that there are hundreds of schools, naturally it is not one or two." If you really want to say it, there are many sons in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, not to mention hundreds of schools. It's just that some of the Zhuzi's documents have not been handed down, and some of them are too long, so everyone doesn't know about them. In particular, there are some princes who are relatively low-key in themselves, and if he does not recruit disciples, it will be difficult for his ideas to be handed down. For example, there was a sage named Liezi. ”

"Liezi?"

Many people have some impressions of this Liezi: "Brother Fan, it seems that Zhuangzi once mentioned Liezi." ”

"Yes."

Chen Fan continued: "Zhuangzi mentioned that Liezi can resist the wind, saying that Liezi can resist the wind, which is a bit exaggerated. Like Zhuangzi, Liezi is also a human being, and he can't have any superpowers, but he, like Zhuangzi, is also a philosopher's master with very deep thoughts. At the same time, he is also a representative of the Taoist school. It is said that Liezi wrote eight volumes of books, but they have long been lost. What can be known now is a series of very interesting stories that have been handed down in the book "Liezi". For example, I will first share with you a story of "The Fool Moves the Mountain" in the column. ”

To say that among the sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty, Chen Fan liked Zhuangzi very much, because Zhuangzi was really the first in the world to write prose.

And in addition to Zhuangzi, what Chen Fan likes is Liezi.

Liezi's writing is naturally not as good as Zhuangzi's, but the series of stories in Liezi's book are really amazing.

For example, Chen Fan's "Yugong Moves Mountains".

"Once upon a time there was a man named Yugong, and in front of his door there were two high mountains, Taihang and the king's house. These two high mountains stretch for more than 700 miles, hindering everyone's travel. So Yugong thought, why don't I dig up these two mountains? Although this seems to be an impossible task, Yugong is still extremely persistent, and he takes his children and grandchildren to dig day and night. There was a seven or eight-year-old boy next door, who saw Yugong digging the mountain, and he also jumped over to help. ”

"There was a very clever man in the meander who laughed at Yu Gong, and said that you people can dig up a mountain. After hearing this, Yu Gong said, you still say that you are the smartest person here, and I think you are not as good as that seven or eight-year-old child. As you said, it seems impossible to dig up this mountain at my age. However, I still have my son, and my son has given birth to a son. The grandson begat son, and the grandson's son begat son. If this continues, then there will be no end to my children and grandchildren. As long as our family is united, then, with my infinite number of descendants, then I can dig these two mountains apart. Later, when the Emperor heard the story of Yugong, he ordered the two sons of Hercules to carry the two mountains. At this point, the south of Jizhou, where Yugong is located, has been unimpeded all the way to the north of Hanshui. ”

This is the story of Yugong moving mountains.

This story Chen Fan learned when he was very young in his previous life.

It's not just learned.

Even when it wasn't in the textbooks, the old people often told this story.

Of course.

The truth of this story is also very simple, that is, it tells the story of perseverance and not afraid of difficulties.

Such a little story is not necessarily good.

But.

Such a little story, once instilled in your mind at a young age, can influence countless people.

……

"Yugong moves mountains, this story is interesting."

"Yugong, no wonder it's called Yugong, but I like this Yugong spirit."

"Tell it to my son, I believe that after he listens to this story, it will be of great help to him."

Compared with a series of philosophies of the sages, such a small story is obviously easier for everyone to understand.

As for you say.

How could Liezi write such a story, shouldn't he talk about some ideological strategies such as governing the country?

In fact.

Chen Fan will say.

Does everyone in the world have to study how to govern a country and how to manage a country?

A lot of hermits, a lot of sages, a lot of them are not very interested in these things.

But in addition to governing the country, there are many, many things that can be done in this world.

For example, self-cultivation, and education.

Self-cultivation is an act towards oneself.

Education, on the other hand, is to educate the people.

In fact, once education is opened, this can also have the effect of governing the country on the other hand.

And because of this.

Liezi also has a title, educator.

So.

The educator wrote many stories, or fables, about educating the world.

Then, Chen Fan told another story: "Once upon a time, there was a man who lost an axe. He suspected that the neighbor's son had stolen it, and he observed the man, who walked as if he had stolen an axe; Looking at the man's face, it looked like he was stealing an axe; Listening to his words, it is more like stealing an axe, and the man's words and deeds, every move, are all like stealing an axe. Soon after, the man found the axe while turning over his heap, and the next day when he saw the neighbor's son, he felt that he did not behave like an axe thief. ”

The story is called "Suspected Neighbor Stealing the Axe", which means that the neighbor is suspected of stealing the axe.

The story is simple, but incredibly interesting.

It's not just fun.

And it is extremely direct to the hearts of people.

As soon as such a little story came out, the live broadcast room suddenly became happy: "Hahaha, this story is absolutely amazing." ”

"Listening to this story, I felt a little blushing. I've had this happen before, and it's not because of stealing or not. But when I doubt someone, or don't trust someone, I always feel that there is something wrong with everything they do. ”

"Yes, like this story. It doesn't matter if he talks or walks, or does something else. I always look at it, and I think this girl is not a good bird. As a result, after the truth is revealed, it will never be so again. ”

"Hahaha...... Sure enough, it is a sage and a great philosopher, who is too insightful of people's hearts. ”

That's where education comes in.

Then, Chen Fan preached: "Let me tell you a little story in the column." This little story is also related to Confucius. Once, when Confucius traveled to the East, he saw two children arguing on the side of the road, and Confucius asked them the reason for the argument. A child said, "I think the sun is closest to people when it first comes out, and it is farthest away at noon." Another child thinks the sun is furthest away from people in the morning.

The previous child said, "When the sun first rises, it is as big as a car cover, but at noon, it is only as big as a plate. The latter child said: When the sun first rises, the weather is still cold, and at noon it is so hot that it is like a hand reaching into hot water.

Neither of them could convince anyone, so they asked Confucius to comment.

As a result, Confucius didn't know who was right and who was wrong, and finally the two children laughed at Confucius and said: You are not the smartest in the world, why don't you know this thing. ”

The story is even more joyful.

Confucius is the sage of this world, and it can be said that he is the sage of this world.

Even if Confucius was not satisfactory in his time, Confucius was also famous.

Therefore, the fame of Confucius is very great, and the wisdom is also widely spread by many people.

But.

When two children are arguing, they can't tell who is right and who is wrong...... This creates a huge contrast.

"Haha, it is estimated that Confucius will have to go berserk."

"It's over, Confucius can't even answer children's questions, and Confucius's image is greatly damaged."

"I'm happy to see it, and I guess this story may not have happened. However, it doesn't matter if it ever happens or not. Liezi ridiculed Confucius, which in itself can also be explained. It's not that the sages know everything, and they are not the most famous, they know everything. ”

Of course.

It is also normal for Confucius not to be able to distinguish this problem.

After all, more than 2,000 years ago, who could have known how big the sun really was.

And.

Even if someone knows, there is a specialization in the art industry.

Confucius was not omniscient, and it is normal for some to not know.

"This is Liezi, he, like Laozi Zhuangzi, is a representative of the Taoist school, likes to be pure and inactive, and does not think much about entering the office. However, although he did not perform well in his career, his ideas have greatly inspired us. ”

Of course.

There are more than just these stories in the columns.

In the column, there are a series of very well-known and very vivid stories.

Forthwith.

Chen Fan told everyone the story of "Worrying about the sky" in "Liezi" and the story of "Boyazi Period...... Wait a minute.

None of these stories are statecraft.

It doesn't sound like that much of a reason.

But.

Every time these stories are told, they are incomparably deeper.

……

"Next, let's talk about another sage, this sage, called Wenzi."

Finish the column.

Chen Fan didn't stop, he continued to talk about another sage.

There are 100 schools in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are really as many as 100 schools, or even more than 100 schools.

But most people don't know much about the Spring and Autumn Hundred Schools.

Not to mention the world.

It's a past life.

Many people know Laozi, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Mencius...... These are some representative of the sons.

For some other sages, it is not particularly clear.

So.

Chen Fan will specifically mention Liezi, and he will also specifically mention Wenzi.

"Wenzi, his name is Ji Ran, he was a famous strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was a very well-known economist."

"Economists?"

As soon as this title of economist came out, everyone was a little surprised.

To know.

The sons mentioned by Chen Fan before were either philosophers, thinkers, military strategists, and educators.

There are also politicians, soldiers, and so on.

But.

Economists, this is the first time they've heard it.

"Were there economists more than 2,000 years ago?"

A fan asked.

Chen Fan replied: "More than 2,000 years ago, there may not have been such a term as an economist, but he also did a lot of things as an economist. ”

Why do you say economists, this is just Chen Fan's order to better introduce Wenzi.

"Born in the Song Kingdom, Wenzi was a scholar of history and was particularly good at calculations, and he often visited mountains, seas, lakes and rivers. Once, when he traveled south to the country of Yue, he accepted a man named Fan Li as an apprentice. ”

Fan Li...... I'll go, Brother Fan, this Fan Li won't be the Fan Li who helped King Yue destroy the Wu Kingdom. ”

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded: "It's him." ”

Fan Li admired his teacher very much and wanted to recommend Wenzi to King Yue. But Wenzi said that the king of Yue is a human being, with a long-necked beak, and he can share hardships and hardships, but not prosperity and happiness. So, he passed on Fan Li's seven strategies to destroy Wu. Most of these seven strategies are to use economic measures to drag down the state of Wu. As a result, Fan Li only used five of the strategies to directly destroy the state of Wu. And later, after Fan Li helped King Yue destroy the state of Wu. Fan Li remembered the words of his teacher Wenzi, so he asked the king of Yue to return to the mountains and forests, and asked his friend Wenzhong to also retreat. But as a result, Wen did not agree. In the end, after Fan Li returned to the mountains and forests, he became the world-famous Tao Zhu Gong, but Wen Chong was finally given to death by King Yue. So, there is a famous saying that the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked......"

Although Fumiko did not leave any kind of writings to this world.

But.

Previously, Chen Fan had talked about the history of Wuyue's struggle for hegemony many times.

At this time, the text was brought into the Wuyue hegemony, and all of a sudden, it made the entire Wuyue hegemony more plump.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a sage in Wu Yue's hegemony."

"Awesome, Fan Li just listened to Wenzi's words, and this saved his life."

"Not only that, Fan Li also got the true biography of Wenzi, and he is also awesome in business, becoming the richest businessman in the world."

The crowd was amazed.

There are hundreds of schools, and they are simply picking one at random, and each one is amazing.

Even if they hadn't heard of this Wenzi at all, his legendary experience was still exciting.

……

"Is there anything else, is there anything else?"

"Wenzi's experience is not very much, and there are few that have been handed down, so there are not many deeds about him later."

"Brother Fan, do we want to ask, are there any other sons?"

A group of fans listened so excitedly.

The story of the Spring and Autumn Princes not only benefited them a lot, but also opened their eyes.

This made them forget to breathe, and even though it had been two hours since the live broadcast, they still enjoyed listening to it.

"Of course."

Chen Fan nodded: "The hundred schools of thought are really too splendid, but it may take a while to talk about them one by one." It's been 2 hours since the live broadcast today. So, today I will tell you about the last sage, the name of this sage, is called Ram Gao. ”

"Ram tall?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan said: "Most people may not have heard of his name, but the "Legend of the Ram" written by the Ram is one of the three legends of the Spring and Autumn Period. At the same time, Mr. Taishi Gong of the Han Dynasty was also deeply influenced by Ram Gao, and thus became a family. ”
