0877 The Great Confucian Debate

These intellectuals of the Southern Dynasties cannot be said to be useless, except for the incompetence of governing the country, the lack of plans to resist the enemy, and the seldom of dying in the country, at least in terms of academic righteousness and cultural inheritance, it is really a few streets away from the northerners, of course, the northerners mainly refer to the Western Wei Dynasty.

The collection of more than 100,000 books preserved by Li Tai from Gangneung is a well-deserved cultural treasure of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Zhou Hongzheng, the Yan brothers and other scholars of the Southern Liang Dynasty also had their own specializations, and the role they played in the process of revising and sorting out these collections was far from being replaced by the Western Wei Dynasty.

Of course, the northerners are not without academic ability, Li Tai's son Li Xiao was studied by Cui Hong of the Cui clan of Qinghe, and studied the "Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms" compiled by him.

It's just that due to the lack of historical materials, there are many regrets in "Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms". In these collections of Jiangling, there are many historical records of the same period, which can not only supplement the lack of historical materials in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, but also draw on the different perspectives of the history of the southerners.

Therefore, Li Xiao also buried himself in the pile of graves during this time, hoping to carry out a systematic supplement and compilation of "Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms" on the basis of these new historical materials.

However, at present, the overall academic construction still needs to rely on these southerner intellectuals. Although there are also some Guanzhong Shiliu who have come to Li Tai one after another, they either need to be appointed to military and political positions, or they themselves do not have enough academic accumulation to participate in the revision.

Such a situation is obviously unhealthy and abnormal, if you really want to let it go, although you have conquered the Southern Liang militarily, but academically, ideologically, you have been occupied by the southerners, and in the end you have conquered a loneliness.

Moreover, there are also relatively large differences between southern and northern studies, not only because of the difference in the emphasis of the scriptures and metaphysics, but also in the specific lectures and readings of the scriptures. For example, in the Confucian classics, the study and inheritance of the northerners are mostly the "Shangshu" annotated by Zheng Xuan and Ma Rong, and the southerners are mainly the "Ancient Texts and Books" of Kong Anguo.

However, the "Ancient Wenshangshu" passed down by the southerners seems to have been forged by the three kings Su, Wang Su's father is Situ Wang Lang, who was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang in the romance, and his son-in-law is Sima Zhao, who is known to passers-by. Because of this relationship, Wang Su's doctrine was enshrined as an official school in the Western Jin Dynasty and became a prominent science.

Wang Su's scholarship was to integrate Taoist ideas such as the rule of non-action into Confucian theory, thus inspiring and guiding the metaphysics of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and metaphysicians such as Wang Bi and He Yan were deeply influenced by it, not only forming a change in academics, but also deeply affecting the political rule and social outlook of the Wei, Jin, and Southern Dynasties. This can also be seen in the guidance and change of social atmosphere caused by academic activities.

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Tai to fully accept the ideology and scholarship of the Nanren, but if he wants to correct and choose, his talent is still insufficient. The northern academic sect especially recommended Cui Lu, especially Fan Yang Lu's attainments in the scriptures and righteousness, which can be said to be the origin of family learning.

Since Li Tai wants to collide with some valuable sparks of thought, he naturally needs to choose a more suitable opponent. If you really can't win the debate, then you will play a trick, and then there will be no need to discern the scriptures.

There are Lu Bian, Lu Dan, Lu Rou and other Lu clan people in Guanzhong, each of whom also has quite academic achievements, but most of them stay in Guanzhong today, and Yuwentai does not let them come south, and Li Tai is also a little helpless about this.

The way he can think of at the moment is that Zhou Hongzheng and other Southern Liang scholars will compile and revise the classics here, and at the same time arrange for personnel to copy part of the contents of the collection and send it to Guanzhong, and Lu Wei and others will also edit, annotate, and sort out.

However, the exchange of information in ancient times was not as smooth and developed as in later generations, and even later generations needed to organize some academic seminars from time to time, which shows that face-to-face debates and exchanges also played a significant role in promoting the development of academics.

In addition to the Western Wei Kingdom, there is another aspect of personnel that can be thought of, that is, Hebei, where the Kwantung clan gathers.

As early as when it was determined that the Jiangling collection of books was well preserved, Li Tai already had the idea of using this cultural treasure to attract some people from Hebei to Xiangyang.

For those who are committed to learning and fascinated by academics, Gangneung's large collection of books is nothing less than a mouth-watering treasure trove. As early as the Southern Liang period, there was no shortage of northerners who defected to the Southern Liang for academic exchanges.

It was like the Northern Qi thief Zu Ting, surrounding him

There are several anecdotes related to book theft.

In the new edition of "Hualin Quanlu" in the Southern Dynasty, a southern merchant took it to Yecheng to sell it to Gao Cheng, and Gao Cheng gathered literati to copy it overnight in order to show that the Eastern Wei Dynasty was also prosperous, and then returned the book. As a result, he was secretly thrown out by the ancestral god and sold in the market, but he was caught by the merchant and found Gao Cheng to confront him, which made Gao Cheng very embarrassed.

For some famous families, mastering the right to interpret the scriptures is far more important than serving as a famous lord in a dynasty. Fan Yang Lu has been eating Lu Zhi's old book since the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, and he has not finished eating it until now.

If Li Tai is willing to open these collections to these Hebei celebrities and let them browse and compile, he will definitely be able to attract a considerable number of Hebei scholars. The arrival of these people can not only provide him with more choices in academic thinking, but also bring more other benefits.

Today in the straight hall, after Li Tai and his cousin Li Shiyuan exchanged the operation of the Election Academy, they talked about this plan to lure Hebei scholars.

"Xiaohuan sent a message a few days ago, and he has arrived in Xiangcheng with his troops, and is waiting for the opportunity to enter the territory of Northern Yuzhou. Li Tang and other old Gao clan officials walked with them, and the Zheng clan people followed, and the next step should be relatively smooth."

When Li Tai was formulating this infiltration and luring plan, Li Licheng took the initiative to invite Ying to go, on the one hand, because he felt that the military and political affairs of the subordinates of the Taiwan government had been lacking in all aspects recently, and on the other hand, because after seeing Li Tai's parents and brothers reunite in Kansai, he also felt that he was still lonely, and hoped to find an opportunity to bring his brothers and relatives stranded in Northern Qi to Kansai.

Different from the previous route of Li Yunxin and others infiltrating Jinyang while smuggling, Li Licheng chose to infiltrate from Henan to Hebei this time.

Li Tai had been in and out of Sanya Road several times before, so that Chubei had always maintained its influence and control over the southeast region of Luoyang and Henan, and Xiangcheng had always been in the hands of the Taiwan government.

Li Tang, who traveled with him, was also a staff member of Gao Zhongmi in the old years, and the Bohai Gao clan had maintained a considerable degree of influence on Northern Yuzhou and other places since the Gao Aocao period.

During the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Aocao and Hou Jing were ordered to run Henan together, Gao Aocao was in the north and Hou Jing was in the south.

Li Licheng followed his cousin Xingyang Zheng Hao into the customs in his old years, and the Xingyang Zheng family also has a lot of local influence in his township. After Li Licheng arrived in the other realm, as long as he did not fight with open fire, swaggered through the market, and directly publicized his identity and purpose, his safety could still be guaranteed.

Since Hou Jing's rebellion, the Northern Qi's control over Henan has not been greatly strengthened, and there was originally a Murong Shaozong who could entrust the future, but he was defeated in Shouyang and drowned in Huaishui.

As for the nobles of Jinyang, they are not very interested in Henan, and they have already made up their minds to gather in Jinyang to enjoy wealth and retirement, and when it comes to enterprising, they are not even as good as Hebei Haoqiang and the Kanto clans.

At least these people are in Huainan, and they are really actively exploring. Of course, it is also because the inherent interests of the empire have been encroached upon, and if they cannot open up new increments, the space left for them will only become smaller and smaller.

Li Tai was still discussing with his cousin whether Li Licheng's trip would go smoothly and how long it would take for him to achieve success, and when Xiangyang would be able to see the grand occasion of Confucianism's discernment, but he didn't know that Li Licheng and his entourage had already suffered a major setback before they entered the country and had not had time to implement the plan, and they were directly captured by the local guards.
