Chapter 304: An Academic Feast

With the numerous restoration results in the archaeological base, one by one.

Relatively speaking, the tomb of the Marquis of Nanchang Haiding, which has been silent for more than a year, has once again become famous in the industry.

In particular, more than 5,200 bamboo slips have been sorted out one after another, and it has attracted a lot of scholars from major universities in China to rush to the archaeological base of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang through various relationship applications, wanting to see these works from 2,000 years ago!

Scholars, both ancient and modern, are very eager for knowledge and the writings of the sages.

In particular, although modern culture is developed, the previous writings of the Western Han Dynasty have all been lost, and there is not one in ten.

Not only because of Qin Shi Huang's book burning and Confucianism, many of the works of the hundred schools of thought were searched and burned, but also because of the influence of Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty, many of the doctrines of the Warring States and the Hundred Schools of Thought were finally revived and completely suppressed.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, basically except for Confucianism, the other theories of Zhuzi died out.

The more famous ones, such as the works of the peasants, the works of Yang Zi, and the works of the Mohists, have basically not been handed down in writing.

Especially Yang Zi.

During the Warring States Period, Yang Zi was also regarded as a prominent science.

The most famous surviving content of Yang Zi's doctrine is still a sentence from Mencius: "Yang Tzu takes it as me, plucks a hair and benefits the world, not for it."

The core of Yang Zi's doctrine is "for me", and the classic interpretation is "if people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed".

Preserving the truth and not burdening things is the core of Yang Zi's theory.

It's just that any of the works of Yang Zi's doctrine can no longer be found in modern times.

If you want to understand Yang Zi's theory, you can only get a glimpse of the concept of this hundred schools of thought from the works that mention Yang Zi's theory such as "Zhuangzi" and "Mencius".

Of course, because of the camp problem, whether it is Zhuangzi or Mencius, they are all kinds of criticisms of Yangzi's doctrine.

After all, what Yang Zi advocates is selfishness, not burdened by things, and everything in the world cannot become a burden to me.

This doctrine, in the era of the patriarchal world in BC, was simply a freak doctrine and could not be accepted by the world at all.

But!

In modern times, although no one knows the specific content of the writings of Yang Zi's doctrine.

But the modern people who uphold the spirit of Yang Zi are grasping a lot of them.

The idea of selfishness and selfishness, all of which is dominated by me, not only did not die out, but became popular!

Selfishness has become the norm for individuals in modern society.

On the contrary, people who are selfless will be ridiculed by everyone, and they think that people who give selflessly are too stupid and naïve.

If Yang Zi lived in modern times, I don't know if he would be very gratified, although his doctrine died out in the Western Han Dynasty, but after two thousand years, there are countless successors, and even have the meaning of learning...

Of course, this is just a joke.

In the end, Yang Zi's doctrine only emphasizes that people should be selfish and self-centered, and there is no way for people to be sure now.

The reason for this is that there are no works on Yangzi's doctrine anymore, and the current views on Yangzi's doctrine are based on what Mencius and Zhuangzi said.

And to be the right "political enemy", Mencius and Zhuangzi obviously would not say anything good about Yang Tzu.

This is like Confucianism in the mouth of the Mohists, which is also a school that does no harm and no benefit.

And the Mohist family is also a strange skill in the mouth of Confucianism, which is useless in the country, but a factor of social instability, which must be eradicated!

If modern people want to distinguish between right and wrong, they may not be able to really understand it unless they can find a few bamboo slips of "Mozi" and "Yangzi" from the pile of old papers underground.

It's a pity that in the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, there are no works of "Mozi" and "Yangzi".

After all, these two doctrines were basically not inherited by anyone during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and by the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism had completely controlled politics.

But!

In the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, there are still many classics that have been determined, lost or incomplete!

For example, there are more than 1,000 bamboo slips of "Liubo" chess score, more than 10 bamboo slips of "Zixu Fu", and more than 20 existing bamboo slips of "Funeral Fu"!

More than 60 pieces of Jane about the five elements of yin and yang, the five sides and the five emperors, clearly mention the "five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, earth", "Eastern Green Dragon, Western White Tiger, Southern Vermilion Bird, Northern Xuanwu" and other works of yin and yang!

"In the room", "health", "medical prescription" and other bamboo simple 200 pieces!

There are more than 600 bamboo slips in the literature of "The Book of Filial Piety"!

More than 200 bamboo slips in "Spring and Autumn"!

Among them, the bamboo slips of the "Spring and Autumn" category are very different from the content of this "Spring and Autumn"!

Some of the contents of the Jianwen are found in the three biography of the Spring and Autumn Period, but some of the content is only found in the "Legend of the Ram", which indicates that the Jianwen seems to be from the "Legend of the Ram".

That is, "Ram Spring and Autumn"!

However, the "Ram Spring and Autumn Period" in the hands of the Marquis of Haiyang and the "Legend of the Ram" in this book also have differences, and even big differences.

As in the concise text: "Xia, the son is like a beggar in Chu. Beggar, humble also. Is it the same as the outside and the inside? Heavy teachers."

In the twenty-sixth year of this "Legend of the Ram", he wrote: "In summer, the Qi people attacked my northern contempt. Defend the people and cut the Qi. The son is like a beggar in Chu. Who is the beggar? Humble resignation also. What is the same as the outside and the inside? Heavy teachers."

Obviously, this version of "The Legend of the Ram" is much more complete than the version of the Marquis of Haidu.

Another example is the concise text: "Let the Duke of Zai Zhou be hired." Who is the one who slaughters the Zhou Gong? of the Son of Heaven."

In the thirtieth year of the reign of the Duke of the Ram, the King of Heaven made the Duke of Zhou to hire.

In the ninth year of the reign of Duke Xu: "In the summer, the guild slaughtered the Duke of Zhou, the Marquis of Qi, the Song Zi, the Marquis of Wei, the Bo of Zheng, the Nan of Xu, and the Bo of Cao in Kuiqiu. Who is the one who slaughters the Zhou Gong? The Son of Heaven is also the ruler."

The first and last two sentences of this brief passage are found in two places in this "Legend of the Ram", and the time is different, the first half of the sentence is the matter of the 30th year of the Duke of Xu, and the second half of the sentence is the matter of the 9th year of the Duke of Xu.

So here's the problem.

Why is the content of "The Legend of the Ram" in the period of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty relatively concise, but the content of this "Legend of the Ram" has been expanded in detail?

Why is it that one thing recorded in the ancient book has become two things in the present book, and the specific characters have been expanded?

In the ancient book, it is only said that the Son of Heaven sent the Duke of Zhou to hire.

This book is automatically filled with specific Zhou Gong, Qi Hou, Song Zi, Wei Hou, Zheng Bo, Xu Nan, and Cao Bo in Kuiqiu Alliance?

At a cursory glance, the present book is much more detailed than the ancient one, not only perfecting the characters, but also filling in the specific story, which is more educational.

However, if this is the other way around, it is quite normal that the ancient book is more complete than the current one.

But this record is more complete than the ancient book, which is a bit outrageous.

How can there be things that the ancients did not record clearly, and later generations can add specific people and events to them?

These ancient works unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Haidu, which are obviously very different from the works handed down from generation to generation, have aroused the curiosity and research desire of countless domestic scholars!

For them, it is a great feast for the academic community to study the ancient works of the sages, compare them with the present books, and explore the reasons for the changes in their contents!

How can you miss this!
