Xie Yixiang saw that the middle-aged man dressed up in a beautiful fashion was down, and he spoke the Shu dialect, thinking that it was a broken settlement in this pioneer village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info listened to him for a while, sharp views, most of them had read poetry for a few days, who knew that in the end it was still a name for Sun Shan, so he could only live in the village and spend his days in the village, and come to this teahouse to show off his knowledge.

When the thin old man heard this sentence, he was immediately furious, and shouted: "Yang Xiucai, you turtle son, no wonder you can't get famous, it turns out that you can't talk but have brains! Grandpa Guan Di is arrogant, but he is born for those so-called "scholars". You must know that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no imperial examination at that time, and the world was only divided into 'scholar clan' and 'Han clan', and the children and grandchildren of the officials could become officials, and the children and grandchildren of the poor had to beg for food. If you Yang Xiucai were born at that time, don't say that you are an official, you won't even have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination and fall to Sun Mountain!"

Speaking of this, the thin old man relieved his anger, poured another sip of hot tea, and continued: "What Grandpa Guan looks down on is not us ordinary people, but those 'scholars' who regard themselves as national soldiers all day long, but can't save the people from fire and water, and hate those 'strategists' who use conspiracy and power to fight for their own interests. In contrast, although Uncle Liu Huang came from a humble background, he was bent on supporting the Han family and was determined to make a career, so Emperor Guan's grandfather would follow Uncle Liu Huang with all his heart, from the beginning to the end. According to the records of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": "Yu treats the soldiers well" and "please ask the generals to eat and drink", which shows that in front of the soldiers and even the poor people, Grandpa Guan has no arrogance at all, let alone any arrogance. So this is the true character of a great hero, proud but not humiliated. It's like you, Yang Xiucai, if you are really a hero, you can go to Jinling to insult the current emperor, why do you need to count the gossip of Emperor Guan's grandfather here?"

After he finished speaking, several people in the teahouse suddenly high-fived and praised, and the thin old man saw that "Yang Xiucai" no longer answered, thinking that he still won the debate in the end, and immediately coughed lightly twice, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the great wisdom, courage, benevolence and righteousness of Emperor Guan's grandfather that he is a great hero in the true sense, so after his death, the people who mourn him have gradually spread from Jingchu to the whole of China, and then passed down from generation to generation, and finally let Emperor Guan's grandfather sit on the altar." And in this whole process, for thousands of years, it has been the result of the people's spontaneous voluntariness and self-choice, and there is not the slightest trick in it. Therefore, the reason why Grandpa Guan became a god is not because of who gave it to him, but because of the thousands of ordinary people like us, who sincerely 'praised' it!"

Who knew that as soon as these words came out, Yang Xiucai immediately grabbed the handle, and immediately sneered: "The frog at the bottom of the well, sit in the well and watch the sky." Do you think that there really are any gods in the world that the people have spontaneously and voluntarily 'promoted'? They are really extremely ignorant! In other words, I don't talk about state affairs here, and I won't reason with you about other things for the time being, just for Guan Yu's canonization of gods, how can it not rely on scheming means?"

Speaking of this, this Yang Xiucai also opened the conversation box and said at length: "If you want to say that Guan Yu is a god, at the beginning, it was indeed Guan Gong's drama compiled by the people of Jingchu, but it was to earn money and support his family. It was not until the Northern and Southern Dynasties that Buddhism began to be introduced to Middle-earth, but it was not accepted by Middle-earth, so the monks came up with a wonderful way to summarize the original gods and goddesses of Middle-earth, and even the famous ministers and brave generals of all dynasties into the Buddhist system, so that they were ranked in the immortal class in Buddhism, and even the Jade Emperor was subordinated to the Buddha. In this way, the people worship God, and naturally worship the Buddha, and after nearly a hundred years of subtle transformation, the Buddhists can finally be regarded as finally gaining a firm foothold in Middle-earth. At that time, Guan Yu, who was not well-known, was given the five precepts by the monk Zhiyuan of Nan Chen, and respected him as the protector god of Jialan, and thus entered the Buddhist system. Therefore, the reason why Guan Yu can be a god has always been inseparable from Buddhism, even when the foreign race occupied the Central Plains in the previous dynasty, although the Han people were regarded as inferior, but Guan Yu was highly respected, it was because the ancestors of the previous dynasty respected Buddhism. ”

"Later, in the Tang Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties believed in Buddhism, and saw that Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period was also among them, so he decided to give him the image of the 'god of war' and included it in the national rituals. Therefore, after Tang Gaozong succeeded to the throne, in the 'Wu Temple' that confronted Confucius's 'Temple of Literature', in addition to Jiang Taigong, who was the main worship, Guan Yu was accompanied. And this imperial scheming technique belongs to the actions of Confucianism and Mencius. ”

"As for the local Taoism in China, in the matter of Guan Yu's canonization of gods, compared with the two schools of Confucianism, it is an afterthought. It was not until the Song Dynasty that Taoists really attached importance to Guan Yu's status, and Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong and Zhang Jixian, the thirtieth generation of Taoist heavenly masters, partnered to make up the ghost story of "Guan Gong vs. Chi You", and also wrote this ghost story into the books such as "Guangjianlu" and "The Source of the Three Religions". Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was crowned four times in a row, from 'Zhonghui Gong' to 'Chongning Zhenjun', to 'Zhaolie Wu'an King', and finally 'Righteous and Brave Wu'an King'. ”

After saying this research, although Yang Xiucai was talkative, he couldn't help but feel a little struggling, and added with a sigh: "If it weren't for the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism for their own incense, so as to promote today's 'Grandpa Guan', hehe, in the end, Guan Yu is just a self-righteous and arrogant horseman, thanks to you ignorant people, you actually take myths, legends and drama stories seriously, I really think Guan Yu is a great hero!"

As soon as Yang Xiucai's words fell, the entire teahouse was in an uproar, and the thin old man slammed the table, which shook the tea cup on the table, and shouted angrily: "You poor bird! Lao Tzu despises you scholars the most in his life, thinking that after reading a few crooked books, he can open his mouth and arbitrarily slander the celebrities of the past dynasties? Compared to what Emperor Guan's grandfather did, you Yang Xiucai is not even a bedbug, so what qualifications do you have to insult him?"

After that, the thin old man seemed to be really angry, and immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "I, Hao Laohan, have been talking about books for half my life, and I have never argued with others, but today, even if I fight for my old life, I will have to argue with you, a poor bird, to win or lose! Let me ask you, what is a hero? What is a god? You must know that no matter which dynasty, which generation, and no matter which religion or sect, those heroes who are admired by the world, The gods that the people worship, whether true or not, are ultimately intended to set an example for us, so that they may teach us to have a sense of reverence and thus to guide the hearts of men towards goodness. You are a poor bird who lives half dead all day long, and you are fine in this life, but what about your son? And my son, the sons of all of us here, is it possible that we have to warn our sons from an early age, saying that Emperor Guan's grandfather is fake, that all the heroic stories in the world are made up, that all the myths and legends are fictional, and that they have lost their role models since childhood, and do not understand what reverence is, so that they can do evil when they grow up?"

Hearing this, Xie Yixiang suddenly realized, it turned out that this thin old man who called himself "Hao Laohan" was indeed the storyteller in the village, no wonder he talked endlessly, and Yang Xiucai was a chess rival. Hearing this argument between these two people at this moment, whether it is knowledge or opinion, it is actually above him, and he can't imagine that as the daughter of the first general of the dynasty, he is actually inferior to the rural villagers in these two small places, and it seems that he did underestimate the world before. Thinking about it, it is because he has lived in Jinling City at the feet of the Son of Heaven for a long time, so he will have an inexplicable sense of superiority, and judging from today's events, he is the so-called "frog at the bottom of the well, sitting in the well and watching the sky" in Yang Xiucai's mouth.

I only heard that Yang Xiucai scolded again: "Old man Hao, at your age, you also have the face to mention to me what son? If you want to teach your son, you can read the "Three Character Classic", "Disciple Rules" and "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", but what do you say about Guan Yu?" The thin old man Hao Laohan did not show weakness, and counterattacked: "But I forgot, you are poor and sour this year, but no family in the village is willing to marry their daughter to your family, it seems that you are destined to have no son in this life!"

Just when the two of them were arguing with each other, the middle-aged man with a scar on his face and a scimitar on the table next to him suddenly spoke, and said with a smile: "The two of you have extraordinary knowledge, why quarrel over some trivial things? Speaking of this Second Master Guan, there is something I want to ask the two of you for advice. ”

When Hao Laohan and Yang Xiucai heard someone ask, they immediately stopped arguing, turned around and asked in unison, "What's the matter?" Seeing their reactions like this, they must have been used to arguing on weekdays, so although they scolded viciously at the moment, they didn't really hurt the harmony.

The scar-faced man smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I have heard someone mention that the 'Green Dragon Glaive Knife' used by Guan Er Ye in the past, among them, the four words 'Green Dragon Glaive' are actually not only the name of the knife, but also a unique trick in the world." I wonder if you've ever heard of it?"
