Chapter 252: The Purpose of Reading
Isn't studying just to enter the court?
How can it be sad to study for the sake of power.
If the person who heard this was someone else, he would definitely think that Pei Yun was talking crazy.
But Master Chen is different from others, he stands at a height much higher than others.
After listening to what Pei Yun said, Master Chen was silent for a long time before he said, "Then tell me what the purpose of reading is." ”
Pei Yun's lips moved, and he didn't know what mood he was going to say about the next words, so in the end, he remained the same as always, and said plainly: "Regarding reading, I have heard such a sentence, and I think this sentence should be the purpose of reading." ”
"Why read, reading is ...... Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. ”
In a flat tone, he said four sentences in a flat tone.
When it comes to reading, throughout the ages, there is nothing more fitting than these four sentences.
Pei Yun was able to remain calm, but Chen Shi and Qi Xiangru couldn't remain calm.
What did I hear.
Establish a heart for heaven and earth...... Establish a life for the living...... For the sake of the saints...... Peace for all generations.
Word by word, sentence by sentence, it makes people's blood flow and hair stand on end.
It's an excitement that can't be hidden.
"Okay, that's great."
Chen Shi actually made a move, grabbing Pei Yun's shoulders with both hands.
It's really hard, and the green tendons on my hands are popping up.
Pei Yun is okay, he is not afraid of pain, but he is afraid that Master Chen will be too excited, but the elderly can't be too excited.
In order to take care of the atmosphere, I said this in a plain tone.
However, I still have to admit that these four sentences are really amazing, and they are unprecedented and unprecedented.
The four sentences are said to enter the hearts of the world's readers, so that the world's readers resonate.
After a long time, Master Chen calmed down, but his gaze changed completely when he looked at Pei Yun.
In Master Chen's eyes, Pei Yun was sublimated.
What kind of mind does the person who can say these four words have in his heart?
From these four sentences alone, Chen Shi knew that he was right to choose to come to Min County this time.
Chen Shi looked at Pei Yun like this, and Pei Yun was embarrassed.
"Sir, I said it, I heard this, and I just paraphrased it, you don't have to look at me like this."
Master Chen: "Then why haven't I heard anyone say this?" ”
"This ......" how Pei Yun wants to explain it, he can't say that this is said by a historical figure in another time and space.
Seeing that Pei Yun couldn't say why, Master Chen naturally came to a conclusion, and these four sentences were what Pei Yun said.
The evaluation of Pei Yun in his heart was a few points higher.
This is a young man who knows humility, which is really valuable.
Qi Xiangru on the side, although he didn't say anything, his mood was not bad with Master Chen, it was the father-in-law who looked at his son-in-law, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
I am even more proud in my heart, there is a son-in-law like this, and it is enough.
With such a son-in-law, it is worth showing off to yourself, such as showing off to Master Chen.
If Master Chen had a daughter, he would definitely be eager to marry his daughter to Pei Yun.
For things that couldn't be explained, Pei Yun didn't bother to explain, and said: "Since the old gentleman thinks these four sentences are good, he agrees that this is what a reader should do." ”
"Of course I agree, that's how a reader should be." Chen Shidao.
"Well, I want to ask the old gentleman, you can do which of these four sentences." Pei Yundao.
Master Chen hesitated for a while before he said: "Speaking of these four sentences, among them, establishing a heart for heaven and earth and opening peace for all generations is not something I can do alone, this is something that people from all over the world want to do together." ”
"To say that I can do it is too much to overestimate."
"What I can do is to continue my studies for the sake of the saints."
Master Chen thinks that he is a very human being, but he is also self-aware.
Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and open peace for all generations.
I can't afford these two sentences.
To establish a heart for heaven and earth means to establish a set of spiritual value systems for the world with benevolence, filial piety and other moral ethics as the core.
To open peace for all generations means to open up the foundation of peace, to calm all instability, and to return the world to a country and people.
These two things cannot be done by one person.
The only thing Master Chen can do is to continue his studies for the sake of the saints.
To learn the things of the sages, to pass on the things of the sages.
Of the four sentences, Master Chen said three sentences, and there was one sentence left unsaid.
At this time, Pei Yun took over the topic.
"I agree with the old gentleman's statement, for the heart of heaven and earth, for the eternal peace, can only be the persistence of generations, a personal effort can be done, the old gentleman said that for the saint to continue to learn, I am not to be outdone, I dare to say a word for the people."
Pei Yun actually said that he wanted to make a life for the people, and he used the word courage in his words, but Pei Yun dared to say it, naturally he was confident to do it.
The so-called life for the people means that the people of the world have a place to live and live.
Establishing a life, that is, life has a fall, and establishing a life, that is, the spirit has a return.
Specifically, it is to let the widows and orphans, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled be qualified to live.
Hearing this, Chen Shi was surprised, and he wanted to know where Pei Yun's courage came from.
Pei Yun continued: "The world thinks that reading is to read those poems and songs, and those to govern the people and the country, but in my opinion, reading is to learn knowledge. ”
"Is the knowledge of the world just those poems and songs, and the learning of governing the people and the country?"
"This kind of knowledge is just for the sake of learning, even if it is really successful, there are only so many people who can be a teacher, and there are many more people, they don't need to study."
"This is not right, reading is learning knowledge, so what is knowledge, teaching ordinary people how to live and live better, is it also a kind of knowledge, and can such a knowledge be taught in the way of reading."
"My so-called reading is to let ordinary people learn the knowledge of daily life, and this kind of knowledge will teach them how to live and live better, which is what I want to do, to make a life for the people."
"Sir, you asked, did I say that I want everyone who wants to read to read, and everyone who reads will be successful."
"Yes, that's what I said."
"It's just that when I say reading, I don't mean what poetry and songs, or what kind of science to govern the people and the country."
"When I say reading, I'm referring to this."
Pei Yun took out a handful of books from his arms, and on the cover of the book was written "Gewuxue".
Not only Master Chen was curious, but even Qi Xiangru was curious.
This Gewu has just been sorted out by Pei Yun, and it has never been taken out by outsiders.
opened the cover and saw the contents inside, Chen Shi and Qi Xiangru were stunned.
None of them are ordinary people.
It is precisely because they are not ordinary people that they can try to understand the content of Gewuxue.
And even if they are not ordinary people, they only understand a small part, and even more do not understand.
But that's it, and they were shocked.
