So Bryce was a little confused.

Daming doesn't seem to have a shortage of insightful college inquirers? Although I only listened to a few words, the opinions expressed by these two scholars proved that they were very knowledgeable.

At this time, a third person gave his opinion.

Bu Mig went on to translate: "The third one says that the Tao is the law of operation that exists in things, that there are things first, and then there are laws of operation, and that there are no laws of operation without things, and he also believes that the origin of all things is qi, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are nothing but the externalization of qi, and they are only a form of qi."

Bryce listened to it with even more admiration, these are all academic masters.

The ancient Greek doctrine only had four elements: water, fire, earth, and air, and the Ming Dynasty actually thought that there were five elements? No, I'll have to ask these scholars about that.

At that moment, Bryce asked Bumig, "Father, are these professors from the Ming Royal Academy?"

"Professor? How many of them do you say?" Pointing to the three diners at the next table, Bu Mige smiled and said, "Oh no, they're not professors from the Ming Royal Academy, they're just three porters."

"Porter?" Bryce asked blankly, "What is a porter?" An alternative name for a lecturer?"

Before Bu Mige could answer, a merchant walked in from the gate of the restaurant and asked in a loud voice, "Is there a porter in it, pick up 600 catties of goods and go to the Caochangmen wharf, and ask for three porters."

"Yes, we took it." The three diners at the next table jumped to their feet.

Then, Bryce watched as the three diners rushed out of the restaurant with a bewildered expression, and when they reached the street, they picked up three loads of goods with a flat shoulder, and walked away with difficulty.

"Bryce, do you see that?"

"That's what they do."

"This is a servant of the nobility?" Bryce said incredulously, "Servants have such advanced learning?"

"I don't know about that." Bu Mige shook his head, when he left Nanjing last year, there was no such thing, why was it less than a year, and the Nanjing in front of him made him feel extremely strange?

Not only is the market more prosperous, the flow of people is more dense,

The key is that the conversation of the people in Nanjing is also very different.

Soon, the guy brought up steamed cakes and rice cake soup.

Bryce, maybe they were hungry, or maybe they really thought it was delicious, and they all ate the steamed cakes and rice cake soup like a whirlwind, but they had a little trouble eating the rice cake soup, because they had not yet learned to use chopsticks, and finally they ate it with their hands, which attracted the surprised eyes of other diners.

After eating, Bumig took Bryce and his party on the way.

I finally came to Gongyuan Street, and I also saw the mansion groups on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Wallace and more than 30 other young Westerners were completely shocked, although this is a completely different architectural style from the Western classical style, but this does not affect their appreciation of Oriental architectural art, because the aesthetics are the same, the beauty of the West is also beautiful in the East, and the architectural aesthetics of the East is also beautiful in the eyes of Westerners.

Therefore, the graffiti of a few lines is just a flickering when it is a world famous painting, but it is much more flickering, not only the Oriental people believe it, but even the Westerners themselves believe it, and if they don't believe it, they don't know how to appreciate beauty.

But Bryce and more than 30 other young people still retain a pure aesthetic appreciation.

The overlapping buildings, the upturned cornices, the exquisite arches and carved beams, and the rockeries that loom higher than the courtyard walls make these young people dizzy.

If only one or two buildings were so beautiful,

The point is that a street, a whole area of buildings, is so beautiful.

"Oh God." Bryce said with emotion, "The Champs-Élysées are not so luxurious, the buildings here are really too luxurious, and it must be the royal family of the Ming Dynasty who lives here, right?"

"The Ming royal family didn't live here." Bu Mige smiled and said, "The Ming royal family lives in another city in the north, and the prosperity of that city is no less than Nanjing, especially the residence of the imperial family, the Forbidden City, that is true

It is the culmination of oriental architectural art, and you must visit it when you have the opportunity in the future."

"Why in the future?" Wallace said, "We're going to see it right away."

"Not now." Bu Mige shook his head and said, "Because that city has been occupied by the barbarians, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is planning to recapture the capital, so he will not hesitate to invite you to come to the Ming Dynasty, he just hopes that your arrival can improve the academic level of the Ming Dynasty in various disciplines, and make the Ming Dynasty stronger than before."

"But Da Ming's academic level is already very high." Bryce said in frustration.

"It seems that we are no longer needed, Father, and I think we must have come in vain this time."

As he spoke, several scholars in shirts walked by, debating fiercely.

"All water appears in January, all water is taken in January, ten thousand are one, one is ten thousand, so it can be seen that the heart that your mind is all things, and all things are wrong, and things are things, whether you have a heart or not, it is there, and whether you are sad or hopeless, things are still things."

"Misinterpretation, this is the biggest misinterpretation of Yang Ming Mind."

"If I misinterpret it, then you should give a correct explanation."

"Listen, the mind mentioned in Yang Ming's mind is not just a simple human heart."

"Mr. Yang Ming said that the heart is reason, and the heart is the matter, referring to the essence of this world, and what he means is that everything in this world is composed of the heart, and people are like this, things are like this, and everything in the world is like this."

"When Mr. Yang Ming gave a lecture, he tried to say to his disciples, and there was only this spirit between heaven and earth."

"The mind is the spirit of creation, and it is also the spirit of all things, and these spirits, born from heaven and earth, become ghosts and become gods, all come out of this, and they are really incompatible with things, can you understand what I say?"

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, if you Yang Mingxin learns to speak falsely to your conscience, then everyone can be Yao Shun, this statement is really rebellious and extremely rebellious, if you say this, wouldn't it be a fool and a fool and a fool to be sanctified?"

"However, if one can have a conscience and one knowledge and action, then a fool and a foolish woman can also be a saint."

Listening to the fierce debate among the gentlemen as they walked away quickly, Bryce was very curious.

"Priest." Bryce once again asked Bumig for help, "What are these people arguing about? Is it still a discussion of the origin of the world?"

"Yes." Bu Mige also felt a little confused.

What's going on? It seems that the whole of Nanjing is discussing science and Yangming psychology?

Bryce asked, "Father, can you translate their debate?"

Bumig used his memory to roughly translate the debate of several scholars to Bryce and others.

After listening to the translation, Bryce and others felt that the three views were shattered, so that conscience, knowledge and action are one, everyone can be holy, and fools and fools can become Jesus? Becoming a virgin? God, this is crazy.

Bumig was on the verge of madness, and these heretics should be sent to the gallows.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, sell newspapers!" A seven or eight-year-old boy with a bulging cloth bag suddenly rushed from the front along Gongyuan Street, waving a newspaper in his hand.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Yao Jiang and Huang Xiaozi published an article in the Huangming Times to refute the science!"

"Is this a newspaper?" Bryce was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took out a river from his pocket and handed it to the newsboy, and then said in French, "Please bring me one."

The River is a silver coin minted in France.

The size and specifications are not much different from the silver dollar.

The newsboy shook his head in embarrassment, unable to find it.

Fortunately, there was Bu Mige and took out a handful of copper coins.

The newsboy took two copper coins from Bu Mige's palm, and then stuffed a thick copy of the Emperor's Tomorrow newspaper into Bu Mige's hand, and Bryce and several other young people immediately surrounded him.

It's a pity that only Bryce can barely understand it.

On the way to Daming, Bryce has been studying Chinese with Bu Mige.

I've been studying hard for more than half a year, and now

There is no problem with the initial reading, but I can't listen to it, and I can't speak official language, so I asked Bu Mige to help translate it just now.

After a little browsing of the newspaper, Bryce was very keenly aware that the Ming Dynasty seemed to be staging a super-large-scale debate, and it could be seen between the lines that the "Lixue" faction and the "Xinxue" faction were engaged in a fierce debate, and the Huangming Times was the position of "Xinxue".

Bryce came to the spirit all at once.

Because he is most interested in this kind of debate.

The reason why Europe was able to get out of the dark Middle Ages was because of one debate after another, which finally completely destroyed the shackles of the Roman Church on academic thought, and then there was the Renaissance.

Is this the eve of the Renaissance in time for the Ming Dynasty?

In fact, this scolding war, which began with Chongzhen's edict to keep the rites and religions in step with the times, has completely evolved into a large-scale debate between science and mind.

After several months of debate, the two sides said that the public was reasonable, and no one could refute anyone, but Jiangnan Shilin and even the entire people of Jiangnan were mobilized.

Even when the peddlers sat down to chat, they talked about the difference between science and mind.

As a result, a large-scale exploration of the origin of all things in the world was vigorously unfolded in the Ming Dynasty, and with this exploration, it was inevitable that the emancipation of the mind would come, and another emancipation of the mind was coming.

And Bumig and Bryce and their party arrived at this time.

"Father, it seems that this time I came to Daming, I like Daming." Blytheon rejoiced, "We will have the privilege of being part of a great debate that is going on and a Renaissance that is coming."

"An Imminent Renaissance?" Other young people also came to be interested.

Most of these young people are leaders in their fields and are extremely active in their minds.
