Chapter 526: Scripture
Although Jiang Xinghuo's clothes at the table look a little ordinary, but Jiang Xinghuo's bearing is outstanding, if he is a poor and sour talent, who believes it?
Therefore, when Jiang Xinghuo said "I understand a little", no one thought he was prevaricating.
"If you have any opinions, you may wish to talk about them, and you will have nothing to do."
The young man's exuberant curiosity, coupled with that little bit of damn desire to win, made them very eager to know what Jiang Xinghuo said he "understood a little".
After all, if you can't say it, you'll be ashamed!
And since Jiang Xinghuo came out to understand the current ideological dynamics among Shilin, in addition to listening, there must be some communication.
Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo secretly thought that since they wanted to listen, they didn't mind saying a few words.
So, he coughed and began to talk eloquently: "The foundation of the "Royal System" lies in the Six Classics, and the righteous examples and sentences in the Six Classics are subtle and subtle, mixed and troublesome, like intertwined trees, if you want to straighten out, you must grasp the fundamental, and the root of the Six Classics, according to the "Ming Pao", is nothing more than the four words "through the scriptures", and the court said that "through the scriptures" is the table, and the use of "through the world" is the inside. ”
Jiang Xinghuo only said two words, which made the smart scholar feel a little like seeing the sun.
These things are not talked about in "Ming Pao", and no gentleman will tell them, they have to understand by themselves.
There is a saying that "the Tao is not lightly preached, and the law is not sold cheaply", and this is the truth.
Even if someone finds out these doorways hidden under the high-sounding words of "Ming Pao", most of them are bureaucrats who have been soaked in the temple for a long time, what might such people say outside? It's too late to close the door and comprehend it yourself.
"How about it in the world? National political affairs, if a scholar wants to board the dragon gate, he must know. And through the scriptures, it is the Confucianism of the past dynasties, from the beginning to the end of the pen, there is not a word and a sentence that does not run through the blood. In this way, the rule of law in the world, and then the size of the inclusive, difficult and easy to conform to the law, from the prince to the husband and wife, from the big government to the grass and trees, all without its temperament, so that the governance measures are not harmful. ”
"Governance measures lie in the system, the system is the foundation of the politics of the dynasty, the hub of social operation, if you want to use the economy, you must use the system to manage the world, therefore, the six economic unions should be from the "royal system" employment."
Everyone was silent for a while, and they were all attracted by Jiang Xinghuo's words.
Even the diners on the other side couldn't help but look at him sideways, their eyes were full of brilliance, not that they heard anything, but that they couldn't help but follow along to see what was special.
In fact, as far as Jiang Xinghuo is concerned, the content of "The King" is too rich.
It's just worth pondering.
Jiang Xinghuo talked eloquently and analyzed "The King's System" to the top.
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
One couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that the meaning of "The Royal System" here is so complicated. ”
Although they read a lot, they are not all specialized in the Five Classics, so not to mention that they don't know about the "Book of Music" that the imperial court began to devote itself to archaeology, even if the "Imperial System" in the "Book of Rites" is not as subtle as the "Spring and Autumn Period", there are really not many people who have studied it seriously.
But that doesn't mean they can't understand what Jiang Xinghuo said.
Anyway, he was stunned by Jiang Xinghuo, looking at Jiang Xinghuo, his eyes became more and more hot.
"It's amazing!"
"This analysis is very penetrating."
Everyone applauded, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Jiang Xinghuo.
Jiang Xinghuo waved his hand modestly: "It's just a shallow view, it's not worth mentioning." ”
At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo's image suddenly became taller-
It's really hidden!
"This is not a small way, I see, Your Excellency will be an extraordinary person, don't be presumptuous."
"Yes, it is not an ordinary person to have this kind of knowledge."
Jiang Xinghuo smiled, always covering his scarf firmly, but did not speak again.
And after claiming the "master" buff, this group of scholars stopped bothering him very interestingly, probably because of what plot they made up in their brains, so the topics they talked about were no longer moving closer to those dangerous directions that might cross the line, but shifted to some purely academic issues.
"Do you know about "Xunzi"?"
The scholar surnamed Fang asked.
"Hey, don't mention it, I'm going to fail the exam here this year."
"I've heard a little, and I've heard that someone is urinating in a hurry for the test."
Guo Jin and Chai Che at the next table had very strange faces at this time, but fortunately, they were covered up by the strength of wine, and they were not too out of shape, but the eyes they looked at Jiang Xinghuo made Jiang Xinghuo very strange.
Blame me for the difficulty?
What's the difficulty? It's been like this for so many years, the four books and five classics can be tested a long time ago, and those who are forced to splice together the questions, don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, it's very difficult to come up with questions, "Xunzi" is already very simple, okay?
Sometimes find your own reasons, Xunzi thought was mentioned two years ago, and it was not only mentioned this year, have you studied seriously for so many years, have you seriously bet on the topic, and have you seriously prepared for the exam?
However, these words are just a turn in his heart, and Jiang Xinghuo will definitely not say it.
Saying this kind of thing in front of this group of unsuccessful people is not throwing firecrackers in a dung pit.
And the scholar surnamed Chen, who usually focuses on reading, said at this time: "Recently, I have heard a saying that has been widely circulated among the scholars, which is that the reason why this year focuses on the examination of "Xunzi" is that in addition to His Majesty's preference for the Holy King, there are other theories. ”
"Anything else?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
"That's right, sufficely."
The scholar surnamed Chen paused for a while: "It has something to do with Taixuezhi, can you understand the dispute between Han Confucianism and Song Confucianism?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several surrounding scholars suddenly changed.
"No, how can it be?"
"Even if Your Majesty likes Xunzi no matter how much he likes it, he will definitely not be able to do such a thing."
"That's right, Song Ru has been orthodox for so many years."
The dispute here is that Xunzi or Mencius, which one to respect, is actually not just to respect this person.
If Xunzi was carried into the Confucian Temple, it can be understood as the emperor's personal preference, then "Xunzi" has become the key test content of the imperial examination, which is not the case at all.
The emperor can decide at will who deserves what temple, regardless of whether it is the Confucian Temple, the Confucian Temple, or the Martial Temple, as long as the emperor is willing, he can let whoever he wants to enter.
But this is not the case with the imperial examination, once someone's thoughts become the content of the imperial examination, then it means that the direction of the imperial examination changes, which will directly lead to the scholars of the whole world to study and study his ideas out of utilitarianism.
Xunzi, although it has been degraded for hundreds of years since the Song Dynasty, the current Ming Dynasty is dominated by Mencius and Cheng Zhu Lixue, who inherited Mencius.
But this does not mean that Xunzi thought has not been brilliant at times.
In fact, compared with Song Confucianism, Han Confucianism's thinking is very close to Xunzi.
"Xunzi opened a sect of Chinese studies, and his learning was faithful and prudent, focusing on passing on the scriptures; Mencius opened the Song school of thought, and its learning was vast and subtle, focusing on preaching. ”
"This is the more popular definition of Sinology and Song Studies."
In fact, don't look at the current Cheng Zhu Lixue everywhere respects Mencius, and the roots of Taoism can indeed be traced back to Mencius, but a lot of the content in it is the result of taking it out of context.
The sinology of "governing the scriptures" as the top priority and the "scriptures" that evolved later are mostly admired by Xunzi, but they are more authentic.
"That's true."
The other person probably knew that his companions used a lot of labor on the content of the exam on weekdays, but they did not know the history of Confucianism so thoroughly, so he explained: "Han Confucianism passed on Xunzi's learning, so the learning of Mencius inherited from Zi Sizi was not yet obvious in the two Han Dynasty, and the person who noted it was only one Zhao Qi, until the Tang Dynasty Han Yu began to respect Mencius, and before the Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, Pi Rixiu respected Meng and respected Han, which opened the precursor of Song learning, and there was the story of the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty later." ”
"But now the wind of Zun Xun is also blowing a little too much."
The scholar surnamed Fang was helpless, and only said: "Some people advocate that the study of Confucius has Xun and Meng two schools in the late Zhou Dynasty, the Xun school is the ancestor of Sinology, and the Meng school is the ancestor of Song learning. ”
Everyone was a little surprised and asked.
"Who is this, so shameless?"
"Guanglu Temple is elegant."
Jiang Xinghuo: "."
But this is obviously something that can't be helped, Xunzi doesn't say that he wants to return to the top, that is, to rise again, and he has to go through a lot of wind and waves, so being high-profile is really a last resort.
If you keep your voice down, no one will look at you.
You continued.
The scholar surnamed Chen continued: "So now there is a saying that the imperial court respects Xun, not only to use the words of the Holy King to conform to His Majesty's wishes, but also to restore the knowledge of Han Confucianism to balance Song Confucianism, especially Cheng Zhu Lixue in Song Confucianism. ”
"Isn't this a change of course?"
"Is there still less thing for the court to change course?"
The scholars were talking.
Although the disputes over the dominant ideology have never ceased in all dynasties, in most cases, as long as they pursue stability, they will choose a doctrine, such as Dong Zhongshu's set of celestial and human induction in the Han Dynasty, or Zhu Xi's heavenly reason and human desire in the Song Dynasty, rarely take the initiative to let two diametrically opposed ideas collide.
If it is not well controlled, then the ideological world is likely to become a mess.
And now, for those of them who have studied Cheng Zhu's philosophy inherited from Mencius for twenty or thirty years, it doesn't matter if there are more new things in the exam, because they can't do it, and neither will everyone, and for everyone, it's basically the same new starting line.
But if the content of Cheng Zhu Lixue is deleted, it will be a disaster.
If the news of the imperial court's intention to re-respect Sinology is confirmed, it will be tantamount to the fall of the sky for these people.
is like the last group of scholars who studied hard for ten years in the late Qing Dynasty, just about to go out of the mountain, and the imperial examination was abolished.
"Don't forget, the national teacher doesn't like to see Cheng Zhu Lixue very much now."
Another scholar sighed and said: "I'm afraid, this is really ready to do it, after all, although the content of the imperial examination is not related to the survival of the society, it is also related to the well-being of all the people, and the imperial court must have ideas before doing it." ”
Hearing this, the crowd became even more silent.
Jiang Xinghuo was also silent.
After a long cycle of reincarnation, he has actually confirmed a point of view with his own experience.
- This world is indeed a huge grass platform.
Although it is true that the imperial court will make policy implementation after careful consideration (inefficient delay in decision-making) in many cases, in fact, if you say that these policies have been carefully investigated and designed, it is not necessarily, many of them are thought up by patting their heads.
The reason why the classic governance cases are so classic is because there are only a few brilliant ones, and the rest are messed up and no one can know from the history books.
For Jiang Xinghuo, of course, there are plans and steps to change the law, but the change is so complex, and there are so many fields that seem to be "very important" that are advancing simultaneously, so for the planning of a single field, in fact, the thinking is not so comprehensive, especially many collateral consequences, which can not be predicted in advance.
In other words, Zun Xun led to the revival of Han Confucian thought, and Jiang Xinghuo had this plan, which is why he asked Kong Xilu, Gao Xunzhi and Cao Duan to be responsible for the reform of the ancient system of the "Imperial System", sorting out the ancient literature school and the modern literature school, and the diversion of classics and history.
But Jiang Xinghuo didn't think that because of the victory of the Taixue Society, coupled with the fact that Jiashenke focused on the examination of "Xunzi", this kind of radical public opinion would appear between the government and the opposition.
"Sure enough, the so-called 'conservatives' are the ones who dislike the 'radicals' for being too conservative."
Jiang Xinghuo sighed heartily in his heart.
At least to be honest, Jiang Xinghuo only planned to revive Han Confucianism and sort out the source of practical learning, and did not intend to rewind the academic world to the era of scholastics.
At this time, he had to come out and say a few words.
Jiang Xinghuo coughed lightly and said: "I think the division between Han Confucianism and Song Confucianism is a bit biased, Han Confucianism not only applies the scriptures, but also inherits the learning of Confucius and Mencius, the so-called Han Confucianism and Song Confucianism, the difference is more in the study of Han Confucianism, so it is more like to speak of righteousness, and the theory of human nature, Han Confucianism is still rooted in Mencius, and it is true that the court respects Xunzi, but it is not necessarily necessary to completely deny Mencius; It is true that the imperial court wants to revive the Han Confucian thought, but it also does not mean that Song Confucianism should be buried in the ground, if this is the case, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world? ”
Jiang Xinghuo's words are naturally one thing in the real sense, which is a very fair statement, impartial, so everyone feels objective.
In fact, it is true, although there must be change in the law, but change does not let you go to extremes, and things must always be done gradually, for the ideological world, Cheng Zhu Lixue has been dominant for so many years, and the next decree has become easy, so what to undertake? How to face the backlash of countless readers? It should always be one step at a time.
Jiang Xinghuo has realized that the change of law has been recognized by the world in terms of thought, and the next step is to slowly popularize the new ideas, and at the same time to divert science by heart, so that after more than ten years and decades of subtle change, the dominant position of science has naturally been replaced, which is called a matter of course.
Blowing up the dam directly without digging a drainage canal is not called ruthless work, this is called looking for death.
"Then in your opinion, what do you mean by the views such as 'diversion of scripture and history' published by these great Confucians in the Ming Pao?"
The scholar surnamed Fang asked Jiang Xinghuo very seriously.
Jiang Xinghuo held his hands, leaned against the window, and leaned over slightly.
"What I understand is that whether it is the diversion of history or the guiding significance of studying the "Royal System", the purpose is definitely not to completely overthrow science, but to say that many things cannot be done by studying science."
"Through the scriptures, through the world, the world is practical."
"The so-called application of the scriptures means that there are no empty words, and it is necessary to 'sit down and get up and be feasible', that is to say, there can be no Cheng Zhu Lixue's shortcomings of 'usually talking about his heart and mind, and repaying the king when he dies'."
"As for why we should study the 'diversion of history and history'? Sutra is the foundation of learning, you should know this, right? ”
The scholars nodded one after another, there is no doubt about this, after all, the first test is the Four Books + Five Classics according to the convention, and now it is the Five Books + Five Classics, but adding "Xunzi" is one thing, and the Five Classics have always remained the same.
And the Five Classics, the inheritance is the set of scriptures, although the most important "Spring and Autumn" is not valued by students. But in any case, the scriptures have always been passed on.
Jiang Xinghuo said: "It is true that scripture is the foundation of learning, but when it comes to application methods, history is more important. ”
"If a man does not read the scriptures, he does not know how to live with himself; If you don't read history books, you can't govern your country. ”
"Today's diversion of scripture and history is about what it means."
"Again, why mention "Kingship"? In fact, the research is more profound, and it is simple to put it bluntly, which is nothing more than the use of ritual music such as the "Imperial System", not to restore the clothes of the crown and the Ding Yi in ancient times, but to study the classical chapter system, clarify the development of the cultural system, and provide reference for today's system design, which is the actual use of 'through the scriptures'. ”
Jiang Xinghuo didn't actually say a few words, but every sentence was on the point, so that these people who fell off the list really felt that they seemed to see the level and depth of the problem, and they were suddenly raised several levels.
The scholar surnamed Fang was careful and wanted to interrupt here, but he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Then why do we have to sort out the ancient and modern literary schools? Please give me some advice. ”
"Do you know what's going on with the ancient and modern literary schools?"
Jiang Xinghuo asked this question, and he really didn't look down on these moves.
For those who are concentrating on entering the official career through the stepping stone of the imperial examination, except for books related to the imperial examination, everything else can be classified as "miscellaneous books".
What is tested in the imperial examination, it has been said before, and in the default weight of the imperial examination, the first four books, five classics, and eight strands> the second examination, judgments, and edicts> the third is a question of current affairs.
And after so many years of exams, these things have long been a complete training manual.
Although Daming does not have a "Five-Year College Entrance Examination Three-year Simulation", there is no shortage of similar things.
For example, these things such as the edict table have a fixed template, prepare a few more sets, and fill them in according to them, it doesn't matter if you don't write well, it's just a normal score, and you can't get a full score, but the proportion of these things related to history is not high.
As for the current affairs and policy questions of the third examination, in the Tang and Song dynasties, this was one of the key points of the imperial examination, but in the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to the examiners who were too lazy to take a look.
Therefore, under the real preparation conditions, in order to save time and pursue efficiency, it is normal for candidates to not know much about the content of history books.
The four books and five classics of the test, although the five classics in it are scriptures, although they are inseparable from the scriptures, but to be honest, the most tested at this time is "Poetry", "Yi", "Book", "Book of Rites" and "Spring and Autumn" are basically not very tested, and the Four Books and Five Classics rely on the eight strands of literature, and there is no need for candidates to understand the history of this.
Therefore, if these failed children do not know anything about the historical origins of the ancient and modern literary schools, Jiang Xinghuo will not be very surprised.
But the scholar surnamed Chen in this is really fond of reading, and he can answer fluently and completely at this time.
"The source of scripture is the fifth year of the founding of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the implementation of Dong Zhongshu's policy of 'deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone', setting up a doctor of the Five Classics, and taking the scriptures as the standard for selecting officials, so there is a scripture, and the scriptures are divided into two schools: ancient and modern."
"Today's scriptures refer to the scriptures written in the language of the time, that is, written by the Han Dynasty for people to read, emphasizing the application of the scriptures, making the scriptures a tool for governing the country and leveling the world, and at the same time expounding the subtle words and meanings in the six classics."
"Ancient scriptures are written with pre-Qin seals, is a retro school of works, at the beginning only in the folk circulation, that Confucius said but not so the six classics are history, mainly study the original meaning of the six classics, because it is written in seals, and the pre-Qin countries are not unified in writing, so the ancient scriptures pay attention to the interpretation of famous objects, the method of text exegesis."
This answer is very standard, in fact, at the beginning, the difference between the modern literary school and the ancient literary school was very simple, that is, the different emphasis on realpolitik and academic research, the modern literary school paid more attention to realpolitik, regarded Confucius as a politician, and believed that the Six Classics were Confucius's political means of "reforming the ancient system" in the Spring and Autumn Period, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was through the interpretation of the scriptures to give Dong Zhongshu's series of changes an ideological and legal basis, that is, "the Six Classics Note Me".
At the beginning, the school of ancient literature focused more on academic research, regarded Confucius as a historian, and believed that the Six Classics were all historical materials left by previous generations, and Confucius was the recorder, so it was necessary to restore the subtle meaning of the Six Classics through methods such as the interpretation of famous objects and text exegesis, and then interpret them, that is, "I note the Six Classics".
"What about the ancient and modern literary schools?"
For example, in the late Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xin vigorously advocated ancient literature and scriptures, and fiercely criticized modern literature and scriptures, which led to a dispute between ancient and modern literature that lasted for more than 200 years. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan mainly used ancient scriptures, incorporated modern scriptures, re-annotated the group scriptures, and unified the two schools of ancient and modern texts. ”
Jiang Xinghuo seemed to ask a little bit of the roots: "What about later?" Is the scripture suddenly gone? Did you directly transition to the science of the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty? ”
"This"
This time, the chai cart couldn't answer, and the chai cart looked at Guo Jin, and Guo Jin didn't know.
If Jiang Xinghuo didn't ask, in fact, they didn't seem to think about these questions normally.
It's as if the 740-year history from the Three Kingdoms to the Northern Song Dynasty has been broken and bloody, and academic thought is like a fault line has disappeared.
So, is it really gone?
Of course not.
So why do today's readers feel this way?
The answer is also very simple, this is the artificial "academic history fault" deliberately created by Cheng Zhu Lixue.
This period of intellectual history from the Three Kingdoms to the Northern Song Dynasty does not not exist, but was deliberately blocked by Cheng Zhu Lixue.
The reason why it should be blocked is because Cheng Zhu Lixue's Taoism came directly from Mencius, so most of the academic ideas in the middle period were inconsistent with Cheng Zhu Lixue, even if they didn't contradict it, they couldn't be together, so they were simply blocked.
Cheng Zhu Lixue never talked about these histories, and even if it weren't for the great influence of the scriptures (the Five Classics couldn't be bypassed), Cheng Zhu Lixue didn't talk much about the things of the scriptures.
Today's scholars don't know much about the history of the scriptures, and naturally it is impossible to understand how the 740-year-long history of the Chinese ideological circles changed after the scriptures and before the emergence of science.
"After the Three Kingdoms, during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, just as the north and the south were divided into two parts in terms of geography, they were also divided into two parts ideologically, that is, the scriptures of the Northern Dynasties and the scriptures of the Southern Dynasties, that is, 'Northern Studies' and 'Southern Studies'. Beixue adheres to the old doctrine of the Eastern Han Dynasty, mainly analyzes and interprets the exegesis of pre-Qin Confucian classics, and follows the path of the ancient literature school. Nanxue, on the other hand, deviated from the path of the modern literary school, and was greatly influenced by Buddhism after the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, and evolved into metaphysics, mainly giving full play to the theory of the destiny of heaven in the Book of Rites: The Mean. ”
"Guess why?"
The scholar surnamed Chen replied: "It is about the Northern Dynasty that all foreign races have entered the Central Plains, academic research has been suppressed, and it can neither be reformed in ancient times, nor can it recognize the Mandate of Heaven of the foreign race, so it has to bury its head in the pile of old papers, and the Southern Dynasty is hopeless in the Northern Expedition, even if there is a white robe into Luo, it is just a flash in the pan, such as Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan and other emperors indulged in Buddhism, sang and danced for a long time, and lost the heart of struggle, so naturally they can only talk about the destiny of heaven." ”
Jiang Xinghuo nodded, a little biased, but not much.
In fact, the Confucians of the Northern Dynasties were not so backbone, and even in the middle of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties already recognized themselves as orthodox in the Central Plains.
"At the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Kong Yingda, Yan Shigu and others compiled the "Five Classics" righteous training, summarizing the respective characteristics of the metaphysics of the Southern Dynasties and the exegesis of the chapters and sentences of the Northern Dynasties during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Righteous precept is the meaning of dredging and explaining according to the commentary.
This version of the "Five Classics of Righteousness" or "Five Classics of Justice", of which "Mao's Poems" and "The Book of Rites" mainly use Zheng Xuan's annotated version, "Zhou Yi" mainly uses Wang Bi's annotated version, "Shangshu" uses Kong Anguo's biography, "Spring and Autumn" uses Zuo Chuan, on the basis of learning from the former Confucianism, Kong Yingda deleted and revised the pen to cut the number of Yi its draft, and the historical records record that "the text must be taken in detail, the righteousness and reason are carefully examined, the complexity is cut, and the key points are summarized", and the quality of the final draft is quite high, because there are trade-offs and emphasis. So basically, there is no official book, which is generally miscellaneous and impure, and everything is stuffed into it.
In fact, Kong Yingda not only created the "Yishu School", which became the standard of official scriptures in the Tang Dynasty and became the textbook for the imperial examination, but also his portrait entered the Lingyan Pavilion in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, and when Kong Yingda died in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, he was directly buried in Zhaoling.
It's a pity that such a generation of Confucianism, under the deliberate cover of Cheng Zhu Lixue, basically no one knows.
As for why it was covered up, the main reason was that Zhu Xi put a lot of effort into commenting on the Four Books, but the Five Classics were not.
Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" can indeed proudly say that the four books have been annotated, this is not black, Jiang Xinghuo has to admit it.
But in terms of the Five Classics, the book, Zhu Xi has not noted, the poetry of the "Poetry Collection", the Yi class's "Zhou Yi Benyi", and the etiquette class's "Ritual Classics and Interpretations", can only be said to be of limited level, the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhu Xi has not been seriously annotated, and the "Outline of Zizhi Tongjian" is the embodiment of his historiographical views, but the scriptures are the most particular about discipline, Zhu Xi, a player who likes to take out of context and create new solutions, has no room for taking things out of context in the face of a complete system that has developed for nearly a thousand years.
Why?
Because the place that can explain the evidence has long been explained by the ancient literature, modern literature school, and later southern and northern studies, and even the "Yishu school" in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhu Xi did not surpass the system of the "Five Classics of Justice" in the Tang Dynasty in terms of the Five Classics, so he was reluctant to talk about it, so he naturally chose to cover it up.
(End of chapter)
