Chapter 132: The Academy's Arguments, Novel Views!
Outside Jinling Academy, there was a crowd of people.
The students and teachers of the academy did not say anything.
There are also a lot of people like Li Wu and Miss Wang who have not received systematic education, but who know Braille.
The outermost layer is the peasants, runaways, and small traders who can't read a single word.
The people in the front are more or less interested in knowledge, while the people in the back are all watching the fun.
In their eyes, whether it is talking about the Tao or singing a big opera, there is no difference, it is just a lively watch.
Of course, there are many people who come to Xiang Yan.
I want to get closer and see what this Lord Qincha, who saved the whole city, looks like.
Originally, for this relatively serious activity, there should not be many onlookers, and basically the venue must be cleared.
Even if it's just the audience, you have to have a little ink and quality to play.
After all, they are noisy, they don't respect the knowledge itself, and they can't hear what the other party is saying because of too much noise.
However, Xiang Yan's purpose was to publish his "firewood theory", so he prevented the academy from clearing the field.
Li Wu looked around, but didn't see Miss Wang, and his heart was suddenly a little lost.
glanced at the crowd again, and a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes.
They're all mediocre people who go with the flow!
Not like yourself.
I came with a critical eye!
The time was almost up, as the chanter loudly announced the beginning of the sermon.
Xiang Yan and Fan Xinggong talked about it.
At the beginning, I first selected some relatively simple, large and broad theories from the Four Books and Five Classics for a brief exchange.
It's all about things that some people who read books basically know, and those illiterate people outside listen to it freshly, but they don't fully understand it.
The readers in the list are all with an attitude of being an old god, neither praising nor disparagement, and they are relatively indifferent.
And when Li Wu heard this, the disdain in his heart rose again.
That's it? That's it?
Just to say that these big road goods with standard answers have made such a big formation?
I think it's really just a person who sells fame!
This must be ill-intentioned, just to deceive the ignorant girl!
After that, Xiang Yan talked with Fan Xinggong about some Confucian classics, and this time he also expressed some of his own opinions on various Confucian classics.
Xiang Yan, who has a modern mindset, interprets Confucian classics from a perspective that is a little different from those who read books in feudal etiquette.
It's not earth-shattering, but it sounds new.
The readers present couldn't help but show a little thought on their faces.
And the group of girls gathered in the periphery, Miss Wang, all had excitement on their faces.
Looking at Xiang Yan's eyes, there was a lot of undisguised longing in admiration.
Cowering in the crowd and whispering.
"Wow, Lord Chincha is so knowledgeable!"
"It's worthy of Lord Qincha, and he knows a lot of things!"
"Lord Chincha is so handsome......"
"Ahhh......h
Although these people can recognize a few words and read a few books, they are not much different from those on the periphery at this depth.
It's basically a fan nature to watch a hilarious.
And Li Wu criticized:
"Hmph, deviant, grandstanding!"
In terms of theory, after laying a little foundation, Xiang Yan began to talk about current affairs.
Starting with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in antiquity, we talked about the demise of the slave society.
The view of the readers in the feudal society is basically that the artifact is easier, and the virtuous live in it.
The demise of a slave society is largely due to the personal character of those in power.
In this regard, Xiang Yan put forward a new vision under the premise of respect:
When the ancient tribes switched from gathering to farming, their productivity increased to the point that they drove a change in the system.
What Xiang Yan said here is more euphemistic, and the straightforward statement is that the productivity has increased, and the inhumane exploitation between people is no longer needed.
But the term "exploitation" is easy to enlighten the people, and it is too advanced in this kind of feudal society.
In order to prevent the readers from thinking that he was too deviant because they could not understand him, he adopted a gentle way of elaboration.
However, just the introduction of the concept of productivity and the perspective of reading history has made many students present at a loss.
And the contemplative look on the faces of the teachers was even worse.
At this point, Miss Wang's group of girls are no different from the illiterate people outside, and they all seem to be listening to a big play.
But it still didn't affect them to cheer for Xiang Yan in a whisper.
"Lord Qincha is so handsome!"
"Lord Qincha is so knowledgeable, you see those usually bullish readers, all of them are full of stupidity."
"It is worthy of being able to become a master of the Qincha, and the students of the capital are knowledgeable!"
"Woo, I want to be Mrs. Chincha......"
Li Wu originally wanted to criticize again, deviating from the norm and grandstanding.
But Xiang Yan's words made him three points confused, and his brain was very messy.
But intuitively, it seems that what Qin Cha said seems to make sense.
So Li Wu's face was painful, and a look of thought appeared in his eyes.
After the three emperors and five emperors of the slave society were talked.
Xiang Yan talked about the feudal society of Xia Shang Zhou again.
Again, the focus is on the reasons for its demise.
It is easier for the reader to still be an artifact, and the virtuous person lives in that set.
Even many people can't understand why Xiang Yan wants to talk about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and Xia Shang Zhou separately.
In their eyes, all history is nothing more than moral history, or political history.
And here Xiang Yan also gave that under the feudal system, the connection between the central and local governments only depends on deterrence and morality.
Everything is based on the premise that Zhou Tianzi is the strongest.
And when local development surpasses that of the central government, naturally this political structure loses its role.
This set of novel perspectives.
In fact, when Fan Xinggong first learned that Xiang Yan was going to talk to him.
He also had disdain in his heart.
His views were no different from those of Li Wu, and they all thought that this Lord Qincha was going to take advantage of this opportunity to take a formality, and use his reputation as an old man to fish for another batch of reputations to return to Beijing, so as to facilitate his future prosperity.
Especially at the beginning, Xiang Yan's general remarks strengthened Fan Xinggong's inner thoughts.
So some boredom gradually grew in his heart.
But when it comes to this, Fan Xinggong only feels empowered.
What Xiang Yan said, at first glance, it sounded too tricky, and it fell behind.
But when you think about it, you just feel that the information is endless!
The way is not something that can be explained in just three words.
What Xiang Yan said today in just one stick of incense is enough for any Confucian to study for a lifetime!
In history, Fan Xinggong, as a great Confucian in the world, thinks that there are few people in the world who can show off in front of him.
But Xiang Yan in front of him now made him quietly straighten up.
