Approaching the Wenhui, gentlemen and students from academies from all over the country also arrived in Jian'an County one after another.

Ziyang Academy was funded by the Zou family and used the Jingshui Building under its name to entertain the literati who came.

Jingshui Building is built near the water, and the meaning of the moon is close to the water building.

The Zou family's thoughts are clear.

The Shi family and the Hua family can only use marriage to compete with the Zou family.

July 27

Ziyang Academy

The staff of the major colleges should sit in correspondence and sit separately.

The teams were:

Danyang County, Nanxuan Academy

Linhai County, Jinao Academy

Xindu County, Nanhu Academy

Wu County, Yunshen Academy

Guangling County, Yanxi Academy

Huiji County, Jishan Academy

Huainan County, Jingxian Academy

Linchuan County, Xiangshan Academy

There are two gentlemen who lead the team, and the number of students is uncertain, depending on how the other college's arrangement is.

However, the number of people who come will not be too small, after all, this kind of opportunity is rare.

In most cases, there will be less than 10 people and less than 20 people, and in special cases, there will be more than 20 people.

Mr. Xue An first routinely presided over the "opening ceremony".

After the speeches, the exchange meeting officially began.

Questions and answers are not directed at anyone, and everyone has the right to speak and ask questions.

Shen Tu Ziling, a student of Nanxuan Academy, got up, bowed halfway, and took the lead in asking questions.

I saw him ask, "'Cultivation of the Tao' and 'the recklessness of the Tao' belong to the sage's division of affairs, and 'the teaching of the Tao' belongs to the sage'?" ”

Jia Yangshan of Jingxian Academy got up and took over the question of Shentu Ziling, and said, "Everyone is also reckless, but there are more sages in recklessness. Therefore, 'the way of spontaneity' belongs to the saints. The saints also cultivate the Tao, but the cultivation of the Tao is more in the division of the sages, so "the teaching of the way of cultivation" belongs to the sages. ”

Jia Yangshan also said, "The book "The Mean" is probably about cultivating the Tao, so everyone who talks about the gentleman, Yan Yuan, and Zilu in the future can cultivate the Tao. Speaking of villains, sage, knowledge, foolishness, unscrupulousness, and common people, all of them cannot cultivate, and other Yan Shun, Wen, Zhou Gong, Zhong Ni, the most sincere and holy, etc., are also the self-capable cultivators of saints. ”

Mr. Tong and Mr. Kong beside him said, "This student from King Xian College is really good. ”

Seeing this, Shi Youping, who was behind him, also got up and asked, "Gezhizhi said, at any time to know things, then knowledge is the knowledge of a section, not all of them, how can you get the status of 'Pu Bo is like the sky, and the abyss is like the abyss'?" ”

As soon as this question came out, everyone pondered.

At this time, Wei Fuliang of Yunshen Academy got up and said, "People's hearts are heaven and abyss. The essence of the mind should be omnipresent, it is a heaven, only for the obstacle of selfish desires, then the essence of heaven is lost, the reason of the mind is endless, the original is an abyss, only for the suffocation of selfish desires, then the essence of the abyss is lost. Now think of conscience, suffocate this obstacle together, and it will be heaven and abyss. ”

At this time, He Suidui of Jinao Academy got up and pointed to the way of heaven, "For example, when you see the sky in front of you, it is the sky of Zhaozhao, and when you see the sky outside, it is also the sky of Zhaozhao." If the walls of the house are removed, it will always be a heaven, and the day before yesterday is the heaven of Zhaozhao, and the outside is not the heaven of Zhaozhao. Here we see that the knowledge of one section is the knowledge of the whole, and the knowledge of the whole is the knowledge of one section, which is always an ontology. ”

Zuo Daoji of Xiangshan Academy said, "My generation is knowledgeable, but they are within their reach. Today's conscience sees this, only with today's knowledge, expand to the end, tomorrow's conscience is enlightened, from tomorrow's knowledge to the end, and so on is a fine effort. Discussing with others must also be within the limits of others. ”

"If a tree has these sprouts, it only drains the water and irrigates it, and when the sprouts grow again, they add water. From the arch to the hug, the irrigation is within its reach. If a little sprout is in it, and a bucket of water is poured out, it will soak him up. ”

Song Huan sat behind Fu Yuanzhi and yawned secretly.

She understands every word they say, but she doesn't understand the meaning of some of the words when they connect them, if only there were subtitles.

Although Fu Yuanzhi listened attentively to the discussion ahead, he did not leave Song Huan behind.

He turned his back and secretly handed a handkerchief to Song Huan.

Song Huan took it immediately, but he couldn't distract everyone.

She originally wanted Fu Yuanzhi and Ah Di to listen carefully, she took notes on the side, but her ability was limited, and only some of the notes she could understand were written down with charcoal.

But that's better than nothing, right?

She always adheres to the principle that a good memory is better than a bad pen.

However, note-taking cannot be memorized while listening, so it is easy to miss the later knowledge points and cannot be connected.

So you still have to listen carefully first, so that you can straighten out these words in your head.

Inside the field

At the beginning, the students communicated with each other, until Meng Shuda, a student of Nanhu Academy, asked the gentlemen about the unity of knowledge and action.

Mr. Liu Jingsheng of King Yin College said, "This must be understood by the purpose of the sage's speech. Today's knowledge, only because knowledge and action are divided into two things, so there is a thought to start, although it is not good, but it has not been done, so it is not forbidden. 'The unity of knowledge and action' is just for people to know where a thought starts, and then it will be done. If there is something bad at the place where it is initiated, then the bad thought will be overthrown, and it must be thoroughly rooted so that the bad thought will not be lurking in the chest. ”

Liu Shangyin of Jinao Academy asked, "Mr. said that good and evil are just one thing, and the two ends of good and evil, such as ice and charcoal, how can it be said to be one thing?" ”

Mr. Hu Jipi of Nanhu Academy said, "The most virtuous person is the essence of the heart. Ontology, it is evil, there is not a good, but there is an evil relative, so good and evil are just one thing. ”

After listening to Mr. Hu's words, the students present understood the so-called "good is nature, and evil cannot but be called nature" and "good and evil are heavenly principles", "those who call evil are not evil, but they are not as good as their nature".

Mr. Hu said, "If a person is as good as lustful and evil as evil, he is a saint." ”

When the students present heard this for the first time, they felt that it was very easy, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that this kung fu was really difficult.

For example, although thoughts can know that they like kindness and hate malice, but they are unconsciously mixed in, and as soon as they are mixed, it is not the heart that likes kindness like liking beauty, and disgusting malice like disgusting stench.

If you can really like kindness, then there is no bad thought.

If you can really hate malice, then you don't have a single thought of evil.

It's far from a saint!

Another student asked Mr. for advice on the phrase "resentment".

Song Zijun of Nanxuan Academy said, "If you are angry, how can you have nothing to gain from people's hearts, but you can't "have" ears." ”

Anger and other emotions, how can there be no human hearts?

Just "shouldn't" have.

"When a mortal is angry, he is too angry, and he is not a great duke. Therefore, if there is resentment, it will not be righteous. Now Yu Fan is angry and so on, just a thing to comply, don't have a meaning, then the heart and body are outstanding, and the body is right. And if I go out and see people fighting, it is not, my heart is also angry, but although I am angry, my heart is clear, and I have never moved any anger. Now that people are angry, they have to be like this, and Fang is right. ”

Zuo Daoji asked, "Mr. said that 'the Buddha is not in the phase, in fact, he is in the phase, and my Confucianism is in the phase, but in fact he is not in the phase', what is the explanation?" ”

Song Zijun continued, "The Buddha was afraid that the father and son would be tired, but he ran away from the father and son, he was afraid that the monarch and the minister would be tired, but he ran away from the monarch and the minister, and he was afraid that the couple would be tired, but he ran away from the husband and wife. It is all for the sake of kings and ministers, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives who are in love, and they must escape. For example, if I am a Confucian, there is a father and son, and he is also benevolent, there is a monarch and minister, and he is faithful, and there is a husband and wife, and he is courteous, how can he ever be obsessed with the appearance of father and son, monarch and minister, and husband and wife? ”
