Inside the house.

Song Zhishu sat in front of the desk and thought about many things.

He did not rush to write the Confucian scriptures immediately, but brushed up the point of Confucianism and Taoism, and did not get a return for scribbling before, so he did not continue to think seriously.

Now that he has obtained the pagoda, Song Zhishu still feels that it is necessary to sort out the Confucian classics of his previous life and sort them out well, so as not to make some mistakes in the future.

All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted.

The core scriptures of Confucianism are the Four Books and the Five Classics.

The University, the Mean, the Analects, Mencius, these are the four books.

The Book of Poetry, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Zhou Yi, the Spring and Autumn Period, this is the Five Classics, there should have been the Book of Music, but because it was lost in the years, only the Five Classics remained.

"Zhu Xi once said that first read the Four Books, then the Five Classics, and gave a clear reading order, first the university, then the Analects, then Mencius, and finally the mean."

"The order of the Five Classics is the Book of Changes, the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Book of Rites, which are read in turn."

Song Zhishu secretly said in his heart, most people only have a slight concept of the Four Books and the Five Classics, and know that the ancients wanted to learn these books, but in fact, very few people have actually read them.

When Rao is Song Zhishu first read the Four Books and Five Classics, he was also confused by the words in them, if he didn't have an extremely strong interest and hobby, to be honest, it would be difficult for most people to calm down and read it.

The Four Books and Five Classics are literary treasures, and the whole is the way of goodness, the way of a gentleman, and the way of Confucianism.

A lot of the knowledge of the Four Books is to explain the Pentateuch, so reading the Four Books first and then reading the Pentateuch is such a truth.

Since it is a Confucian Tao, it is impossible to avoid the Four Books and Five Classics, and in front of the book table, Song Zhishu seriously sorted out and thought.

He took the pen and wrote on the rice paper, expounding his views and ideas.

"The university, which is excerpted from the Book of Rites, is meant to teach the reader how to become a person and become a real adult, so the university is called the study of adults."

"Readers from ancient and modern times have respected this book, not only because of the praise of Zhu Xi's sage, but more importantly, the way of university is the way of virtue, if you don't study well, it is very easy to become a villain, the pattern is small, selfish, and disgusting."

"And the mean, is more extraordinary, the golden mean, is not the meaning of the ordinary, in the refers to the righteousness of the world, the meaning of the mediocre is to use the meaning, widely used by the world, to get the righteousness of the world, to be used in all aspects of life."

"Only what is useful is just right, and this is the golden mean."

Song Zhishu kept putting down his pen and putting his thoughts on the white rice paper, one is to record, and the other is to let himself have a clear thinking.

"The Analects is a dialogue between the Confucian sage and his disciples, one question and one answer, that is, the application of the way of the university and the golden mean in life, the students ask, and the sages solve their doubts.

"Mencius is the one with the largest number of words in the four books, especially the era in which Meng Shengren lived, which was the era when the hundred schools of thought were prevalent, and had a great relationship with Taoism, so Mencius had a very strong opinion on the point of qi."

"Haoran righteousness is what Meng Shengren mentioned, I am good at cultivating Haoran righteousness, expounding the way of dual cultivation of life, sex is the nature of the heart, and life is the number of qi."

Song Zhishu summarized the essentials of the four books.

Then he muttered to himself.

"In my current situation, I still have to be familiar with the way of university."

"It stands to reason that if the essence of Confucianism and Taoism in this world remains unchanged, whether it is to control the people of the world or to cultivate one's self-cultivation, then the Four Books and Five Classics are definitely the treasures of the treasures."

"No matter how many years of civilization there are in this world, the real work is not the accumulation of time at all, what you look at is thought, just like in previous lives, prehistoric civilizations still have primates, but no thoughts."

"In this era, even if the time is long enough, 5,000 years is nothing at all, but things like Confucian scriptures are definitely not piled up by time."

"Obviously, when I read books before, I didn't understand the meaning, I didn't really think about it, I just looked at it with a curious idea, so I didn't grow at all, and it didn't affect me."

"Now I have to read carefully, not deliberately studying, but looking at these articles from the heart, feeling with my heart, understanding with my thoughts, and confirming with my behavior, so that there may be different changes."

Song Zhishu muttered to himself.

He once met a master of Chinese studies and raised two questions, that is, will the Four Books and Five Classics be eliminated one day, or will the timeline be extended, will there be more brilliant scripture treasures?

These two questions were raised, and the master of Chinese studies only thought for a moment before answering.

Not necessarily.

He did not completely reject his opinion, but he did not very much agree with his own opinion, and the reason for not denying it is that this in itself is a conjecture, there are countless possibilities, and nothing is absolute, especially hypothetical.

But the reason for the disapproval was also explained to himself by the other party.

Any literary treasure that has been handed down needs to meet several very strict conditions, one is that the author has a high level of wisdom, and the author has to constantly think through the things around him, and finally he can write a book, and the most important thing is that the environment must also influence.

If everyone pursues money, fame and fortune, and tends to be inflammatory, even if it is a 100,000-year-old civilization, it is impossible to give birth to a literary treasure, which is why it is difficult for literary classics to appear in the past and modern times.

The general environment determines a lot, but compared to this world, what is everyone pursuing? Immortal cultivation and dynasty hegemony, I'm afraid there won't be any Confucian treasures.

Of course, this needs to be verified step by step, but no matter what, the Confucian classics of the previous life must be extremely precious, and they will definitely not affect their own value because of any factors.

The idea is determined.

Song Zhishu burned the rice paper on his face, and then went to the university to write silently as usual.

[The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. 】

Song Zhishu wrote very slowly this time, and every time he finished writing a paragraph, he would stop and think carefully, and re-understand every word and sentence.

Even Song Zhishu deliberately paused to explain and elaborate these words to himself.

"The purpose of the university is to promote the moral integrity of the upright, to make people abandon the old and make the new, and to enable people to achieve the most perfect state."

"The way of the university is to be a gentleman, the way of a gentleman, open the pattern, broad-minded, don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small."

Song Zhishu constantly understood through the original text, and also added his own thoughts.

So.

This time, he took a long time to dictate, in the past, one hour was enough, and when it was fast, it could be completed in half an hour.

But this time, Song Zhishu spent ten hours before and after.

In the end, when the last paragraph was elaborated and understood, the more than 2,000 words that were sprinkled at the moment turned into wisps of white gas.

This is many times more than the previous Confucianism, and even condensed together to form a Confucian righteousness.

"The eighth way."

Song Zhishu was indeed a little surprised, he noticed that there was a problem with the silent writing article before, so he calmed down, but he never thought that the harvest would be so big.

"In the past fifteen years, although I have known Confucianism and Taoism, and I have tried to develop towards Confucianism and Taoism, but when I think about it carefully, my interests at that time were too heavy, and I did not calm down and understand the thoughts of the article at all."

"Now, fifteen years of precipitation have taught me a lot, otherwise, I still can't know the wisdom of these saints' articles today."

"But now I, I haven't really realized it, I need more time to think, but I must not be in a hurry, what the Yang Ming sage said, the unity of knowledge and action, and the different cognition of things, should be practiced, before practice, it is more understanding."

"You have to combine the surrounding environment and many things, otherwise just reading books, no matter how smart a person is, you can't be sanctified through books."

Song Zhishu is constantly self-reflecting.

Zi said, I have three times a day, I have to think about things, only thinking will have a concept of right and wrong, know my own shortcomings, know my own advantages, and know my flaws.

In this way, talents can progress little by little and eventually become perfect.

"Whew."

Let out a long breath.

With the eighth Confucian righteousness entering the body, Song Zhishu had an indescribable feeling, all the decadence and slump disappeared at this moment, and was replaced by that kind of thought.

"If there are two more, you can open the first jade box, and the road to cultivating immortals will also be smooth, and the future is indeed promising."

Song Zhishu couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

Reading is still a normal person, and when you encounter happy things, you are naturally in a happy mood.

Get up and wash up briefly, the rain outside has not stopped.

And there was another knock on the door.

"Coming so soon?"

Song Zhishu was a little surprised, he subconsciously thought that Su Wanyun was here, after all, Su Wanyun had come to him yesterday to talk about the blind date.

To tell the truth, Song Zhishu regretted agreeing a little, after all, he really had no plans to start a family.

I just deliberately delayed others and wasted my own time.

But no matter what, since you have promised, you must fulfill your promise, and a gentleman must not be untrustworthy.

It's just that when Song Zhishu pushed open the door, he found that the person who came was not Su Wanyun, but yesterday's messenger.

"The little one has seen the immortal chief."

"Immortal Chief, this is your umbrella, and this is some high-quality tea, I don't know what Immortal Chang likes, so I bought tea, and I hope Immortal Elder will not dislike it."

The middle-aged messenger opened his mouth and handed himself an umbrella and a tea cake wrapped in red paper.

This made Song Zhishu a little surprised.

"You're welcome."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands."

Song Zhishu smiled bitterly, he took the paper umbrella, and then his eyes fell on the tea cake, this is the tea cake produced by Fuyue Tea Shop, just this piece, at least five taels of silver.

For him, it is not too expensive, and he will have some at home on weekdays, but for the latter, this tea cake is definitely not a simple expense.

"I've got the kindness, let's return this thing."

Song Zhishu spoke, not wanting the other party to break the bank, this is not necessary.

"The fairy chief said seriously, yesterday I wet the envelope of the fairy chief, the fairy chief ignored the previous suspicions, and lent me an umbrella, the small one really doesn't know how to repay, this tea is not expensive, and I hope the fairy chief will accept it, it can be regarded as a small piece of mind."

The other party was a little nervous to speak, he was a simple person, and he was obviously not skilled in this kind of courtesy, and it seemed that his wife at home taught him.

has a little other thoughts, but Song Zhishu doesn't care.

"Take it back, it's just a trifle."

Song Zhishu persuaded the other party, but before the latter could speak, suddenly, the sound of light footsteps sounded.

Soon, a voice rang out.

"Senior Brother Song."

It was Su Wanyun's voice.
