When Jiang Narao and Wang Yun returned to the Mojia Guild Hall, they saw Zou Yan.

This Yin-Yang Scholar who is now thirty out of fifty respects Guigu very much, otherwise he would not be able to go back and forth to Qin Chu in person to run for the marriage of the two many times. After a few contacts, he also liked Wang Yun and Jiang Anrao very much, and treated them as his own juniors.

At this time, when he saw Jiang Anrao coming back, he greeted him with a smile, his words were familiar, and he was not rigid about his identity at all.

Jiang Anrao and Wang Yun also respected him very much, and naturally treated each other with courtesy, and after seeing Zou Yan, Zou Yan smiled and introduced to them a middle-aged scribe beside him.

This person has a short beard and looks ordinary, looking like he is in his forties, and he has seen him since he entered the door, but he was busy greeting Zou Yan just now, and he didn't know this person, so he didn't say hello.

"This is the new Jixia School Palace, Mr. Xun Kuang."

Jiang Anrao paused, and then couldn't help but look at the man in surprise, and then hurriedly saluted respectfully:

"It turned out to be Xunzi himself! There is a long way to go! I have heard the name of Xunzi for a long time, and I can see it today, Jiang Rao Sansheng is lucky! ”

This is a real celebrity, although his fame has not yet reached its peak, but he has already made the Jixia School Palace sacrificial wine, and his reputation will be even greater in the near future.

The audience was also very excited, and everyone didn't expect that this middle-aged uncle who was not good-looking was Xunzi.

This kind of character is seen in history books, who would have thought that Jiang Anrao would be waiting there as soon as he arrived home!

"Jiang Rao Giant." Xunzi was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Anrao greet so politely, and then returned the salute very politely, "I have admired the name for a long time." ”

Jiang Anrao hurriedly led the two to sit down, and then began to speak again.

Zou Yan was familiar with both sides, so she naturally spoke first and asked Jiang Anrao if she was in such a hurry to come back, if they asked someone to send a letter to call her and delayed her affairs.

Jiang Anrao shook his head: "Not only that, but I also want to thank Mr. Zou for saving me from fire and water." Today I went to the debate meeting of Xiangguo Wei Qi. These people are really talking, and I can't sit still when I hear them. Fortunately, my husband came and asked someone to send me a letter, so I took the opportunity to leave the place of right and wrong. ”

"Hahaha, we just arrived in Daliang and heard that Jiang Rao's argument is fine, why do you think that such a debate is a chore?"

Jiang Anrao smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"I don't like to waste time on these things, and if you argue with it, you win, and it's just a bit more famous. I don't need to be famous, I originally wanted to see the talents of various families outside the Mo family, but since these debates, I haven't met a truly talented person. For the sake of arguing, I don't agree with this. ”

After hearing this, Zou Yan laughed out loud.

Jiang Narao was a little inexplicable, looking at Zou Yan:

"Why is Mr. Zou laughing?"

Zou Yan said: "Jiang Rao knows that Xun Qing and I went to Qin first from Qi this time, and when I left, I heard that you were in Daliang, so I turned around." ”

"Oh?"

When Jiang Anrao heard this, he was surprised to see the two of them, it was only ten days since he left Qin, and it was only a few days since he arrived in Daliang, and they actually went to Qin?

"After Tian Biao passed away, Xun Qing served as a sacrificial wine, and I heard that there were many disciples of the Mo family in Qidi, and I also heard a lot of ink scriptures, so I said that I wanted to go to Qin for a while, so he said that he wanted to go with me, and wanted to understand with the Mo family giant!"

When Jiang Anrao heard this, he immediately had a bad premonition in his heart!

This is, and to argue again?

Compared with those little-known doormen in Wei Qi's mansion, if Xunzi also came to her to debate, then she would be under too much pressure.

"I did read the "New Ink Sutra" of Xinmo, and found that there are many differences with the past Ink Sutra, so I have always wanted to discuss it with the giant."

Xunzi Road.

Jiang Anrao's face was silent, but his heart was bitter, and he could only say:

"Xunzi has any advice, but it doesn't hurt to speak."

Xunzi looked at Jiang Anrao's attitude very humble, and he was not like the children of the Mo family in the past, unkempt, and not etiquette, in fact, it was still more pleasing to the eye, so the words he spoke were more kind:

"I look at the New Mojing and say: there is light and shadow, there is positive and negative, there is life and death, there is gain and loss, all things that exist are composed of a pair of contradictions that are both opposed to each other and unified with each other; It is also mentioned that quality and quantity are two attributes of things, and there is a law of mutual change; These points are very good, and I agree with them very much.

This is a little different from the thinking of the ink scripture in the past, I don't know what the giant thinks. ”

Jiang An rao:

"Just because, in my opinion, the way of heaven and the mandate of heaven have their own laws, are natural, and objective." The stars rotate, the sun and the moon shine, the four times are royal, the yin and yang are magnified, the wind and rain are abundant, all things have their own harmony to live, each has its own nourishment, 'the sky is natural, there is no reason, will, good and evil, likes and dislikes.

Everything is nothing but the law of nature, the result of the movement of all things.

Therefore, there is a connection between all things, and it is inevitable that there is a law, and the connection, the law, and the contradiction are all objective and eternal. ”

"Well, saying this, it really coincides with some of Xun's thoughts."

At this point, he paused. When Jiang Anrao saw it, he said in his heart, usually at this time, there is a sentence but, it's just?

"The world is one family, the four seas are unified, this also won my heart."

"The sea is a county, and the laws and regulations are unified, and I think this is the trend of the times." Jiang An said.

Sure enough, the Xunzi nodded in agreement with this sentence, but after a pause, he said:

It's just that after reading through the "New Book of Ink", Xun has found that Juzi intends to emphasize: the concept of the Huaxia family, and at the same time mention the great harmony of the world. However, when I look at the whole book, there is no mention of liturgy.

In the past, the "Book of Ink" had a non-happy saying, but now I look at the "New Book of Ink" and do not mention it, I don't know if it is the same as the old Mozi, and I also think that "the world fights with each other, so there are two." One is that the material resources are insufficient to meet the demand, so the food and drink are small, resulting in the matter of grabbing. Is it because you think that the pleasures are useless?

Xun believes that the world is full of Qi, the discipline of neutralization, the inevitable human feelings, and the joy of the saints, can be kind to the people's hearts, its touching and deep, and its changing customs, so the first king guided the people to be harmonious with etiquette and music. Etiquette and pleasure should not be wrong.

What does the giant think? ”

Daqi and neutralization refer to social harmony and pure customs, Xunzi means that this is the influence of music, and ritual music should not be banned.

Sure enough, when it comes to the theory of saints.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Anrao said:

"Those who are good at etiquette are good at the hearts of the people, but the people are good, not only for the merit of etiquette and music, but also for the sake of music, and it is not just for the sake of music.

I understand what Xunzi said, etiquette and music may be an adjustment for survival, but it should not be preached too much.

In the past, Mozi advocated 'saving money' and 'non-happiness', with the intention of ensuring that the people would suffer less hardship and prevent the people from being exploited. Mozi is right.

Xunzi said, etiquette and music entertain others, entertain yourself, cultivate sentiment and temperament, Xunzi, you are not wrong.

It's just that everything should be in moderation!

Aside from talking about the disadvantages, it is meaningless. ”
