Chapter 191: I advise Heavenly Father to be heavy
"Whew!"
The light and shadow in the courtyard flickered, Sima Guang punched, his body was extremely fast and agile between ups and downs, and the strong wind even made the courtyard as if a tornado, and the fallen leaves swirled and flew all over the sky.
"Xiangye, here!"
The voice sounded, and Sima Guang retracted his fist: "Send it to the study." ”
"Xiangye, Qin Xianao is generally not dishonest. Soon the old man in the study respectfully handed over this issue of the newspaper: "He seems to have published an article." Sima Guang took the newspaper, went directly to the desk and sat down, spread out the newspaper to find the front page. "I advise the Lord of Heaven to be heavy!" seven bright black and eye-catching characters jumped into view, and then they were:
"Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and it is sad that all the horses are together!"
"I advise the Heavenly Fathers to be vigorous and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern!" This is a poem, to be precise, a political poem, which is exactly the poem copied by the Qin Dynasty from Gong Zizhen, a great thinker, a great writer, a great poet, and a pioneer of reformism in the Qing Dynasty.
This poem "I persuade the heavenly prince to be vigorous" is Gong Zizhen's most famous poem, which has been in textbooks.
Sima Guang is also a great expert in poetry and Taoism, and when he looks at it at this moment, his face is solemn.
"Good!"
"Good poetry!"
Sima Guang raised his eyebrows, and read this poem again before he sighed in his heart, "This Qin Xianao has already sealed his pen to make literary poetry, and no new poems have been born for more than a year, and the level has not decreased." Later in the poem, Qin Xianao pointed out the importance of talent a little, and then began to discuss what talent is.
"What is talent?"
Sima Guang became interested all of a sudden, the articles on talents have been like the stars and sands of the Ganges River since ancient times, and the works of famous artists are even more innumerable, Qin Xianao has always paid attention to subversion, will this talk about talents also be subverted?
I saw--
The word talent comes from the "Book of Changes" "the way of three talents", Confucius and his Confucian disciples said: "The Book of Changes is also a book, and the vast number of them are available." There is a heavenly way. There are humane and authentic. Three talents and two, so six. The six are not it, and the way of the three talents is also. ”
"In the literal sense, some people talk about beautiful looks and also call talents, but today I want to talk about talents to be useful. Outstanding talents. ”
"What does it mean to be useful?"
"I think the so-called usefulness in today's society, the noble talent in the eyes of the world refers to those who are familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, the articles of the sages, can be the Jinshi in the imperial examination and even win the championship, can write beautiful articles, and even become an official and a big official, but is this true?"
......
"As the saying goes, thirty-six lines, the line is the champion. I, Qin Xianao, are different from others, I think that the thirty-six lines are not high or low in meaning. ”
Sima Guang's brows furrowed, Qin Xianao's statement was undoubtedly attacking the Confucian view, Sima Guang continued to look down:
Therefore, my so-called talents are not limited to the imperial examination, but all walks of life. The reason why the immortal country is prosperous is that there are masters in every industry. Even if it is farming, one person can cultivate tens of millions of acres of land. Weaving. More than a dozen people weave in three days, which may be worth the weaving of all the women of my Great Song Dynasty in one day......"
Sima Guang frowned again, Sima Guang didn't believe it at all in "Travels to the Immortal Country", but Qin Xianao took the things inside as an example, Sima Guang shook his head and looked down. Suddenly, I was stunned:
"One person plows a thousand fields, one person weaves ten thousand pieces of cloth, and one person catches enough fish for all the people of my Great Song Dynasty to eat, but these are not considered talents in the Immortal Country......"
Sima Guang's mouth was slightly open, and he ploughed thousands of fields by himself. A woman weaving ten thousand cloths, this is not considered a talent?
"The reason why I say that I am not a talent is because it is in the country of immortals, and the country of immortals cultivates thousands of fields, weaves thousands of cloths, and catches tens of millions ......of fish, as long as you are not a fool, how can you be considered a talent?
"Secondly, it must be of great use, the skill of slaying dragons is not within the scope of my consideration......"
"Therefore, I can divide talents into academic talents, engineering talents, technical talents, skilled talents, and ...... according to their levels."
"Now I'll talk about talent standards......
......
Compared with his predecessors, Qin Xianao's article is not special in terms of big concepts, but because it is written in the vernacular, it is more detailed, clear, and systematic, so the details are always new, and they are eye-catching, and even Sima Guang can't help but praise in his heart, Qin Xianao's work is more complete than others.
After talking about talents in the article, Qin Xianao began to analyze what kind of talents the Great Song Dynasty needed most at this stage, and gradually shifted the topic to the fields of education and vernacular literature.
"I advise the heavens to shake and hug hard, and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, but it is impossible for God to descend talents, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, talents are cultivated, trained. ”
"My generation of scholars not only wants to be poor and good to themselves, but also to help the world, but also because of the ambition of 'wanting to plant big trees and pillars to grow the sky'. ”
"Therefore, the eclectic talents we need cannot be sought by God, and we must cultivate them ourselves, but what talents do we need to cultivate now, and what talents can we cultivate?"
Sima Guang's expression was more attentive, yes, how do we plant the pillar of the sky, what kind of tree can be planted?
"We need to cultivate talents with the following capabilities: 1. ...... technical expertise and innovation ability"
Sima Guang squinted, needless to say about technical expertise, but the ability to innovate? Sima Guang didn't think it was necessary, but Qin Xianao said this, he even looked down, Qin Xianao really cited the importance of innovation one by one in the back, and gradually Sima Guang nodded slightly, "Qin Xianao made flying balls, made water and writing paper, Duan Haifeng created printing, Qin Xianao and Su Dongpo's words, maybe talents should have innovation." ”
After reading the first article, and the second:
"2. Imagination, this ability is crucial, it can ......"
Article 3:
"3. Numbers and calculations, which are the basic requirements of ability......"
"4. Organizational ability, which is undoubtedly very important......"
"5. ...... persuasive ability"
"6. ...... communication skills"
"7. ...... learning ability"
......
Reading these seven abilities repeatedly, Sima Guang didn't know when his breathing became heavier, although there were not many articles on talents in the past, but after reading these seven, the more he looked at Sima Guang, the more he felt that these seven abilities were the most critical and urgent of all abilities, in fact, this is also Sima Guang's own experience is enough, otherwise it is like imagining, persuading, communicating, and even organizing ...... In the eyes of ordinary scholars, such abilities are not necessary at all.
"In today's society, and even in the future. What we need is the above talent, but can the existing system and environment produce such talent?"
"Can the imperial examination system be cultivated?"
"Clear-sighted people know that this is impossible, and the talents cultivated by the imperial examination system are extremely biased, that is, a certain type of talent is overcrowded, while other types of talents are extremely **. ”
"Since the existing system is not desirable, then we must improve ours. Improve our talent development mechanism. How can it be improved? This is something that all people with lofty ideals and lofty ideals must consider, and Qin has a little experience in this regard, and it will be published in the next issue!"
What's next?
Sima Guang squinted, and a longing surged in his heart, eager to see what Qin Xianao had to come up with.
"Please also ask those who have knowledge and aspirations in the world to think more about this aspect, and if you have a good idea, you can write as much as you can!" Qin Xianao's article ended here.
Cheng Yi, Lu Gong, Wen Yanbo, Dong Xiyan, Wang Anshi...... All of them saw the article. For Qin Xianao's concept of talent, everyone generally agrees, after all, no one is stupid, and the importance and diversity of talents are also known for the benefits of the whole society, but they can't make too many improvements in the past.
They can only run their own colleges to give lectures.
This is also why the Great Song Dynasty suddenly sprung up one academy after another, on the one hand, for martial arts, and on the other hand, why didn't it want to plant pillars and heavenly trees?
But the effect is ...... It's not as good as it seems.
Therefore, I read Qin Xianao's article. Especially the seven abilities that Qin Xianao talked about in the end are undoubtedly exciting. But it is also the most difficult to cultivate.
They can't cultivate it themselves, can it be that Qin Xianao really has a way?
"Qin Xianao's next article, what prescription will he prescribe?"
One by one, I look forward to it.
The bigwigs expect that ordinary readers are distressed in their hearts.
"Fan must ask for a lesson, Confucius is especially ashamed, this Qin Xianao regards the harvest as a talent in this article. It's ridiculous!"
"Yes, according to him, the imperial examination system for thousands of years has been harmful, and the real wise men are confined to the wall of the imperial examination, making other talents extremely scarce. ”
According to him. It is necessary to cultivate compound talents, skilled talents, and talents who are good at governance, economy, and craftsmanship.
"But this Qin Xian is arrogant, even the court is helpless, we ......"
The Qin Dynasty's 'On Talents' did not directly criticize the imperial examination for being bad, but according to his concept of talent, the imperial examination system could not cultivate such talents, and scholars have always been sensitive, and ordinary scholars are not like Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Lu Gongshu and others who have become famous and famous, and they are already old in the next year.
Cheng Yi, Sima Guang and other bigwigs have thoughts, and they must also work hard for 'planting big trees and pillars for a long time'.
But what they need is to make meritorious achievements, what they need is the respect and respect of the people around them, and the vanity of superiority.
But Qin Xianao has broken, or is going to break their superiority, people have self-esteem and love face, sometimes they don't even want their lives for the sake of face, Qin Xianao wants to wipe their face, how can he be willing?
Therefore, soon some young scholars in the Great Song Dynasty formed a parade to demonstrate against Qin Xianao's concept of talent.
This matter naturally attracted the attention of the martial arts world.
"How did the people react?" Sima Guang said in a deep voice.
"It's not good, the ideas of the people and the scholars are not very compatible. Sima Kang smiled bitterly, "My Tokyo parade, for the head, several scholars standing in front of the team were smashed!"
"Smashed?"
"I was beaten by a naughty kid who didn't know where to throw stones, and it wasn't just one child, but a lot of ......"
"Many ordinary people did not take the march of their scholars seriously, sneered at them, and even organized demonstrations to oppose it. ”
"So, we can't use it?" Sima Guang's face was ugly, in the past, the entire people of the Great Song Dynasty were as docile as sheep, and many things were without their own opinions, as soon as the scholars said something, they often believed it, but now, ......
"I'm afraid we're not taking advantage of this scholar's parade. Sima Kang smiled bitterly.
Sima Guang was slightly silent, and suddenly smiled: "Then let's assume that it didn't happen, I just want to see what prescription Qin Xianao will prescribe in the next issue!"
