Golden State State School, under the big banyan tree.

Today is Zhu Ming's last lecture in Jinzhou, and according to the ban of the imperial court, the content of the lecture has nothing to do with the "University Chapters and Sentences" and "Taoist Strategies".

Officials, scholars, and ordinary people, more than 600 people were present, and even the corridor was crowded.

If the volume is a little smaller, outsiders will not be able to hear it at all.

"I don't have anything to say today, what doubts do you have, but although you raise it on the spot," Zhu Ming said loudly, "The contemptible people are young, not well-learned, or biased, I hope you have Haihan." ”

Song Ning, who joined the army, deliberately came to find fault today, and took the lead in asking: "Your Excellency interprets what the "University" says, people are born at the beginning, and there is no good or evil in nature, is this not the words of Buddhism? ”

Zhu Ming smiled playfully: "Jun and Cai are the same, and what they have learned is not new." ”

Song Ning's expression was a little embarrassed, and then he lowered his head and pretended to be dead.

The communication between the two was very nonsense, Song Ning found fault as soon as he came up, and Zhu Ming buttoned his hat as soon as he opened his mouth.

Luo Xuecai talks about goodness, and Xinxue has no good or evil.

Wang Anshi's exposition of human nature has gone through three stages: the theory of sexual goodness, the theory of sexual good and evil, and the theory of sexual non-good and evil.

Because "sex has no good and evil" is often attacked as a Buddhist remark, Cai Jing did not promote Wang Anshi's book, and some deliberately hid Wang Anshi's life.

But it can't be hidden at all, Confucianism is good at talking about life, and it started with Wang Anshi.

Zhu Ming suddenly pointed to the sky, and then pointed to his chest: "Sex, Tai Chi also!" Good and evil, yin and yang! At the beginning of Tai Chi, regardless of yin and yang, at the beginning of human nature, no matter good or evil. Yin and yang are divided, and heaven and earth are made. Good and evil are divided, and human nature stands! ”

This statement caused an instant sensation.

Because the solution was so ingenious, even Song Ning was stunned, and Zhang Gen applauded.

Zhu Ming also said: "Tai Chi must be before yin and yang are judged, and true nature must be before good and evil are not distinguished." Is there good and no evil in the heart of a gentleman? Maybe I'm not a gentleman, I try to be good in what I do, but I often have evil thoughts in my heart. When I see the goods, I want to take them for myself, but I just restrain myself. Gentlemen, have you ever had evil thoughts in your hearts? ”

Someone smiles, someone bows their head, no one objects, no one quibbles.

Zhu Ming said: "So King Shu (Wang Anshi) said that people have temperaments. There is no good and no evil in sex, and there is good and evil in love. However, I believe that sex without good and evil only exists at the beginning of human nature, just as Tai Chi only exists when yin and yang are not distinguished. ”

"In the world, there will be good and evil, and good and evil will be mixed. There is also evil in the heart of a gentleman, and there is also good in the heart of a villain. If kindness dominates human nature, he is a gentleman; If evil dominates human nature, it is a villain. ”

"Therefore, the gentleman is cautious and self-reflective. If there is evil in the heart, but you can do good, this prudence is the only reason. Those who are cautious and independent, sincerity and righteousness are also. ”

"There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. What do you mean by these four sentences? Heart, sex too. Meaning, affection also. It is nothing more than sincerity and righteousness, and knowledge from things. ”

"If you don't have evil thoughts and do good deeds by nature, you are a saint who can do that. He who has evil thoughts in his heart and is accustomed to doing good deeds is a good person. A person who learns from things, is sincere and upright, goes away from evil for good, and does good deeds infinitely close to his nature, such a person can be called a gentleman. ”

"One day, there is no need to deliberately distinguish between good and evil, it can be called 'knowing the destiny of heaven'. The predicate of destiny is sexuality. ”

"One day you can do good as you please, and you can say that you 'know'. Spontaneous is also the way. ”

"Exist in the Tao, this cultivation is also teaching!"

This passage is Zhu Ming's understanding of Wang Yangming, and also cites the academic thought of the late Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, it is also connecting Xinxue and Luoxue, combining the life theory of Xinxue and Luoxue, but it is more inclined to Wang Anshi in theory.

Zhu Ming is still cooking porridge, but he can't make any mistakes in cooking, and it is more perfect than any school of thought at the moment.

Since we have talked about the theory of life, it is natural to talk about the mean.

Huang Qi, the manager of the army, asked: "What does Mr. Zhu think of wisdom and moderation?" ”

Zhu Ming replied unabashedly: "There is nothing wrong with King Shu's reasoning, but it cannot be separated from wisdom and moderation. It's just a little fragmented, and the two are one, just like the inner saint and the outer king can't be separated. ”

The inner saint and the outer king originally talked about the monarch governing the country.

Starting from Wang Anshi, it is elaborated as the golden mean, and it has become a gentleman's method of cultivating himself in the world.

That is, "the most intelligent place and the way is modest", Gaoming is the inner saint, which is used to stand on one's own, and the mean is the outer king, which is used to treat others in the world.

This view was attacked by Luo Xue, who believed that Wang Anshi cut the golden mean.

Cheng Yi scolded Wang Anshi for a long time, but it is estimated that he also figured it out in his later years, and burned his annotated "The Mean" directly.

Lu Dalin annotated "The Mean", falsely claiming that it was written by Cheng Yi.

Chen Yuan's teacher, Yang Shi, was originally a disciple of Wang Anshi, but later switched to studying Ercheng. Yang Shi picked up Lu Dalin's works and frantically criticized Wang Anshi's moderation as falling into Buddhism.

What's more interesting is that Zhu Xi, as a disciple and grandson of Yang Shi, said that Yang Shi fell into Buddhism, and said that although Wang Anshi was slightly separated, there was no big problem.

Zhu Xi's science is not only inherited from Luoxue, but also carries many shadows of new learning. Because his ancestor Yang Shi himself has been a new disciple, and he has a lot of new ideas.

In order to dissociate himself from Xinxue, Yang Shi would occasionally pick bones in the eggs, but Zhu Xi corrected it very peacefully.

Wu Mao, the envoy, suddenly said: "Sir, why don't you note "The Mean" and write a book "The Mean Chapters and Sentences"? ”

"I can't learn enough, so I can only try to talk about it." Zhu Ming smiled.

Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Mean", just copy it directly, and there is nothing wrong with it.

In fact, the original text of "The Mean" makes it very clear that the moderation of a gentleman is "persistence", and the moderation of a villain is "Mowgli".

That is, a gentleman stresses moderation, has his own set of persistence, and can always uphold justice impartially.

And the villain talks about moderation, has no insistence in his heart, and acts without scruples.

Confucius once said that the gentleman is moderate, and the villain is anti-modest.

The mean, which is understood by later generations, happens to be the mean of villains. Seeing people talking about people, talking nonsense when they see ghosts, abandoning the bottom line and being sleek, and boasting of implementing the golden mean.

From morning to afternoon, Zhu Ming spoke hungry, and everyone listened with hunger.

The emperor forbade learning and banning books, and Zhu Ming talked about something else, anyway, he was talking about "new learning".

"The Mean" and "The University" have been reinterpreted by the Confucians of the Song Dynasty, and their influence on the Chinese nation is too far-reaching, and it can be said that they have shaped the spiritual world of the Chinese.

Even Chinese who have not read much and do not know the way of moderation and university, their thoughts, words and deeds will move closer to these two books. It really achieves the daily use of the people without knowing it.

Even the governance of the state is also implicitly in line with the truth, and it is unconsciously influenced by these two books.

"Gentlemen, after talking today, we will meet again," Zhu Ming arched his hand to everyone, "After I get married, I will leave Jinzhou." The wedding is simple, just invite a few tables of relatives and friends. Don't give expensive gifts, just write a poem and give it away. If I get married, it would be a good thing to be able to gather 500 poems. ”

"Write a poem for Mr. to congratulate!" The crowd said.

Zhu Ming also said: "I really can't write it, and I can make up the limerick poems." ”

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter and dispersed in a cheerful atmosphere.

Zhu Ming still lives in the state ya's house, anyway, the new governor has not yet arrived.

He spent three days copying down Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Mean", only slightly adding and deleting a few details, and adding some ideas of the Ming Dynasty.

This version, based on Zhu Xi's science, itself integrates Luoxue and Xinxue, and is a collection of the Song Dynasty's golden mean.

At the same time, Zhu Ming also wrote "The Theory of Life", which mainly focused on Wang Anshi's knowledge, mixed with Zhu Xi's elaboration, and then added part of Yangming's psychology, completely bridging the sense of separation of Wang Anshi's knowledge. This article develops according to normal, and even if someone can write it, it should at least appear at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a perfect integration of the previous four hundred years of doctrine.

In particular, "Sexual Tai Chi, Erotic Yin and Yang" perfectly deconstructs the ontology of sexuality. It is certainly controversial to spread it, it goes against the theory of sexual goodness, but it is in line with Confucianism. There must be a lot of people who agree, and there will not be too few people who oppose it.

Wang Yangming's four sentences of "no goodness and no disgusting body, good and malicious movements" were also officially thrown out by Zhu Ming. However, it was tampered with by Zhu Ming, "heart" was changed to "sex", and "meaning" was changed to "love", in fact, they are all the same truth, and the words are different, but they are more in line with the elaboration of "The Mean".

"Father is making a fuss?" Zhang Jinping entered the study with a soup.

Zhang Gen replied: "I was reading Zhu Chenggong's article, and some of my feelings were written down. ”

Zhang Gen didn't know how long he was going to stay in Jinzhou, and he was idle anyway, so he might as well take the opportunity to engage in academic research.

He is not of any school, and his knowledge is directly inherited from Taoism in the early Song Dynasty. He has also learned Xinxue, and he has also been exposed to Luoxue, Zhu Ming's theory of integrating various factions, Zhang Gen accepted it without any sense of disobedience.

Even Zhang Gen thinks that "University" and "The Mean" should be solved like this, what is the meaning of those factions arguing around? Integrate each family, learn from each other's strengths, and be the right way.

Zhang Gen decided to pick up this set and carry it forward and improve it in Jinzhou, he didn't think it was any kind of learning. If you have to get a name, you can call it Jinxue, or Jinzhou School.

Many officials and scholars in the Golden State are the foundation of this set of gold studies.

It will definitely not be able to be carried forward quickly, but as long as the emperor and the traitorous party are gone, they will be able to spread quickly and become the new generation of scholars in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Jinping stood by and watched, and couldn't help but pick up the newly released "The Meaning of the Mean" and read it.

She can understand and feel reasonable, but that's all, no different from an ordinary scholar.

Zhang Jinping prefers miscellaneous studies, and she has studied wet copper smelting at home. She also dabbled in the miscellaneous books of her grandfather's house, and she also liked to play the tangram invented by her cousin.

Compared with "The Meaning of the Mean", Zhang Jinping likes to read "Zhu's Sutra of Calculations" and the strange content in "Tao Strategy".
