Chapter 224: Not Perfect
Thirty paces away from the newspaper office, there were twelve or thirteen diners sitting on the Qingfeng Building, some of whom were discussing evolutionary views, when a long-robed scribe in his forties walked in with a smile on his face.
"It's not ......"
"Oh, Lord Fu, please, please!"
"Shopkeeper Wang, you are busy with yourself, I will sit down, read the newspaper and leave. Fu Jin Cai smiled and walked to the empty table, looking at the surroundings one by one, most of them saluted respectfully, Fu Jin Cai was very emotional, although he Fu Jin Cai also had some face in this three towns and four neighborhoods in the past, but that little bit of face was not of much use, until the last time the emperor movement happened.
He saw the opportunity to organize the people to take vigorous action, and then he was recommended by the newspaper, and he was very old-fashioned, and he was quite popular.
"Thanks to Father Qin, otherwise, with my luck of trying many times, I would not be able to do this parental official in the imperial examination for a lifetime. Fu Jincai sighed, he didn't take the imperial examination for 30 years, and now even if he is allowed to enter the examination field, he is inexplicably nervous and afraid.
"Master Fu, what kind of evolution theory did Duan Gongzi come up with in "The Origin of Species" recently, what do you think?"
"Although I think it's incredible that man evolved from an ape, Duan Gongzi's book is really well written. Fu Jincai said with a smile, and then casually chatted with the diners about the theory of evolution, and from time to time Fu Jincai also glanced at the newspaper office not far away, and suddenly Fu Jincai's eyes lit up. "The newspaper came out. He got up and walked out of the restaurant.
"Doll, buy a newspaper. ”
Soon Fu Jincai took a newspaper and returned to the restaurant, and as soon as he sat down, he spread out the newspaper and read it.
"Man and monkey were one family five million years ago, the evidence is insufficient, Cheng Yi's interview record. "The headline on the front page is very eye-catching.
"Insufficient evidence?"
Fu Jincai's brows were furrowed, as he was grateful for Qin Xianao's worship, and even thought that he was a member of the Xinhua Party. Naturally, Fu Jincai is more supportive of any of Qin Xianao's remarks, and this "Origin of Species" is strongly recommended and approved by Qin Xianao, and naturally Fu Jincai also agrees with the view of evolution.
"It's no wonder that this Mr. Ikawa has really been defeated and fought repeatedly. Now this world is the world of his Luo learning, but ......"
Fu Jincai has also heard a lot of Luo Xue's views, and Fu Jincai himself is also from Confucianism, and he is very clear about Confucianism's induction of heaven and man.
"I don't know what this gentleman will say. Fujin even looked at it.
"Mr. Yi Chuan, this time you took the initiative to ask for an interview, I wonder why you have such an idea after reading Duan Gongzi's "The Origin of Species"?"
"The wise are happy with the water, and the benevolent are happy with the mountain. The old man reads books alone and reads good books, so the more he reads a copy of the Analects, the more he feels that it is endless. Therefore, when the old man reads a good book, he often can't help but vomit to the world, and because of this, I founded Luoxue to preach the saint to the world......"
"This time Duan Gongzi's "Origin of Species" was released, I think anyone who reads this book can't help but talk about it with others, let alone a person like the old man?"
Fu Jincai's eyebrows moved slightly, and Cheng Yi generally praised "The Origin of Species" in front of him. "That's right. The quality of the book itself is there, and Cheng Yi doesn't dare to mess around. Fu Jin continued to watch.
"You read the Confucian classics. Reading Taoism, the heart is itching, Chuangluo learned to preach to the world, and now after reading "The Origin of Species", I can't help but tell the people of the world your opinion, is this "Origin of Species" and Confucian and Taoist classics can contend with it?"
"As far as facts are concerned, the book "The Origin of Species" is not comparable with the Confucian and Taoist classics. Because the things and scope of the arguments on both sides are different, if you want to compare, Confucianism and Taoism are like the sea and the starry sky, which is broad and profound, and "The Origin of Species" is subtle. The study of the subtleties goes far beyond Confucianism and Taoism. ”
"You mean that "The Origin of Species" is not as good as the Confucian and Taoist classics in Guanghe, but the topic of writing about the origin of species is not big enough?"
"The topic of the origin of species is big enough, but the classics of Confucianism and Taoism cover everything, astronomy and geography, statecraft, ethics and morality, and even cover the changes of species, which is incomparable only to the origin of species. ”
"I know that Qin Xian Ao Gongzi is very much in favor of touting this book, what do you think?"
There is a certain truth in his touting, undoubtedly this is a good book, but also a strange book, today's people in the world to do learning, often start from the big picture, but ignore the details and small, but this book can start from the ground, and Qin Gongzi has always advocated rigorous learning, naturally to tout. ”
"But I personally think that Qin Gongzi has blown it a little too much. ”
Fu Jin raised his eyebrows and looked down.
"In this book, the old man made a summary, that is, 'everything is fine, the conclusion is hasty', if it removes some things, it will be perfect, and it can be worthy of the praise of Qin Gongzi......"
"I think you've all heard the story of five blind men who had never seen an elephant and didn't know what it looked like, and they decided to touch the big horns......"
"The way of heaven and earth is mysterious, profound and unfathomable, we study from a grass and a tree, a bird and a worm, and demonstrate the mystery of the origin of species, just like a blind man who touches the appearance of an elephant with his hands......"
"Qin Xianao advocated rigorous scholarship and wrote "Tool Theory", but although Duan Gongzi's "Origin of Species" is rigorous enough, the whole book is argumentative, but these arguments are not enough, far from enough, because they cannot give empirical ......"
"Everything he has is speculation based on some phenomena......"
"Reading his 'Theory of Evolution', I have been thinking that if life is always evolving, then there must be signs in the world, that is, every new life has a great chance of being very different from its parents, for example, people with more tails, monkeys without tails......"
"We should see that there is no visible trace in real life......"
"Not to mention that we can't see reality, it's our history, so it's hard to find evidence of the stories and legends that have been passed down from generation to generation......
Cheng Yi talked eloquently, and Fu Jincai's eyes gradually flashed with confusion, Cheng Yi did not indiscriminately criticize "The Origin of Species", every doubt he said did exist, although "The Origin of Species" has many arguments, but there is no proof that it is completely rigorous. It's really just assumptions.
Reading Cheng Yi's interview blankly, suddenly-
"It can be said that the big ideas in his book are wrong, but many of them are correct, such as the 'species are changing' mentioned in his book, which can be observed with the naked eye, so it fully meets the rigorous requirements of "Tool Theory......"
"Another example is 'natural selection, survival of the fittest'. Although these words are very cruel, they are the avenue of nature, and the old man agrees with them......"
"In that case, will these have an impact on your Luoxue?"
"My Luoxue is inherited from the sages, it is the Great Dao, it is the true truth, no matter how the world changes, he exists, and it exists forever. Even if all the conclusions of the "Origin of Species" are correct, can you deny the views of my Luo Xue? No...... Impossible......"
"The so-called 'natural selection, survival of the fittest', this is also the truth, and this reason, and Confucian ethics, three outlines and five constants, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. The induction of heaven and man is also the truth, this reason. Even if there is no life in the heavens and the earth, he still exists......"
"Human beings can observe many phenomena and dissect the truth like Duan Gongzi, you can be sure that this is not God's arrangement, this is not a rational ......"
"Tiandao dug a river, and we are just fish in the river. Occasionally, I discovered some mysteries of the flow of the river, and I thought that I had mastered the way of heaven, which is really ......"
"If, according to him, all living beings have a common ancestor, then who is this ancestor?"
"How did this ancestor come about? Who created it? And what created him...... Cheng Yi asked a series of rhetorical questions, and Fu Jincai's head swelled.
"Where is the true source. Where is the end and end of everything......"
"Duan Gongzi's "Origin of Species" is undoubtedly wonderful, but unfortunately it is not enough, far from enough......"
It didn't take long for Cheng Yi's interview to end, and then Sima Guang's, Sima Guang's interview was no less exciting than Cheng Yi, and Sima Guang was followed by Wen Yanbo...... One by one, they attacked in the newspaper, criticizing the loopholes of "The Origin of Species", and gradually Fu Jincai began to nod in his heart.
"Perhaps, some of Duan Gongzi's conclusions are wrong!"
"Qin Gongzi may have over-touted it!"
......
Cheng Yi, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo...... One by one, the bigwigs are attacking some errors and improprieties in the theory of evolution, and Darwin's theory of evolution itself is not absolutely perfect, and has such and such limited defects, so what Sima Guang, Cheng Yi and others said is not unreasonable, and even they themselves are telling the truth, but they are too entangled in the omissions in the book "The Origin of Species".
Although most of the ordinary people are superstitious about Qin Xianao, they will also use their brains to think about things, Cheng Yi, Sima Guang and others are reasonable, they think about it, and it is indeed this principle, plus once some views of the theory of evolution are really established, although theology and religion will not disappear because of this, but it is inevitable to be greatly impacted, so not only the various schools of Confucianism have risen up to attack, Taoism, Buddhism, especially some Taoist monks who specialize in superstition for their livelihood, in order to be shocked, The common people, who draw symbols for their livelihood, are even more diligent in preaching the theory of evolution as flawed and cannot be fully believed.
Gradually, there are more and more people who doubt some of the strange scar views in "The Origin of Species" such as 'man and monkey share ancestry'.
Of course, it's more of a half-believer.
Ordinary people are like this, and the scholars think more and doubt the theory of evolution more, but there is no doubt that this "Origin of Species" is as Cheng Yi said, although the big conclusion is wrong, but it is still a real strange book.
The influence of the newspaper is very huge, not only the Great Song Dynasty, Dali, Confucian cultural circles, Western Xia, Liao, and even Tufan, Jiaozhi and many other countries have been deeply affected, naturally this time the evolution theory set off waves also spread to the Western Xia, Liao, Tufan and so on......
These countries were also shocked, and the book "The Origin of Species" on the market was hard to find, and then Sima Guang, Cheng Yi and others attacked the view of evolution in the newspaper, which also caused countless people in these countries to doubt the theory of evolution and suspect that Qin Xianao was overblown.
For a time, the debate about the theory of evolution was very popular in the world, and even many border merchants in Liao, the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, and Dali met to discuss business.
Of course, the whole world is also waiting, waiting for Duan Haifeng and Qin Xianao, the two young gods, to respond. Time passed, but the two seemed to disappear. (To be continued.) )
