Feng Junzi's words are not so much like talking about cultivation, but rather testing my national studies. Fortunately, I didn't think about it completely in vain now, and replied: "The article on the world is only tested by Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books" (Note 1). ”

Feng Junzi slapped the table again: "Isn't this it! The decay of civilization is not the superficial prosperity and strength, but the spiritual atmosphere of this nation. Back then, the Great Song Dynasty was the richest country on earth, and where could the rich not be able to be defeated by force? Ideas were imprisoned, and the creative spirit of the entire nation was closed. In the following 800 years, how can civilization not decay by virtue of Zhu Zi's "Commentary on the Four Books, Chapters and Sentences?"

I hurriedly interrupted him: "You wait for this account, it seems that it can't be counted on Zhu Zi's head, and the imperial examination is an imperial family affair." Besides, the imperial examination is not Zhu Ximing's. If I remember correctly, the imperial examination was from Emperor Yang of Sui. ”

Feng Junzi: "You remember that the imperial examination was created by Emperor Yang of Sui." The examination system is the first in the world to select talents, and it has been used to this day. Although Emperor Yang of Sui later became promiscuous, he still contributed a lot to the country...... The Qin and Sui dynasties ruled the world, although they both died in a short period of time, but they both created a thousand-year-old atmosphere. ”

"Stop, stop, why did you go to the Qin Dynasty again? Then you scolded Qin Shi Huang just now......

The anger of the wind gentleman had just subsided, and when he mentioned Qin Shi Huang, he was furious again. Stretched out his hand again and slapped the table heavily: "He actually burned books and pit Confucianism, of course I want to scold him." If he crawls out of the coffin of daring. I'm going to kick him back...... Emperor Qin's book burning pit Confucianism, Zhu Xi's book usurpation, and Confucianism are all people who should be scolded. ......”

"Boy, I've drunk too much, I've never seen you play like this! I've been listening outside the door for a while, and I can't help but come in and debate with you. As he spoke, Old Man Tang pushed the door open and walked in. She was followed by Teacher Liu Fei'er.

No matter how angry the gentleman is, he is a student after all, and he still has to restrain a little when he sees the teacher. Especially this old man Tang, from the school leader to all the teachers and students of the school, no one dared to stab in front of him. The Wind Gentleman saw that Old Man Tang was also halfway awake, and stood up with a chair.

Old man Tang found a chair and sat down, and beckoned Liu Fei'er to sit down. He looked at the wind gentleman with an interested expression and said, "You said that Old Master Zhu usurped Confucianism. Then I ask you - Gewu, Enlightenment, Sincerity, Righteousness, Self-cultivation, Family, Governance, and Peace. What's wrong with Zhu Xi?"

As soon as Feng Junzi heard this, he became emotional again: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with the chapters and sentences of "University", but the taste of Old Master Zhu is not right. ”

Old man Tang smiled slightly: "You sit down and say...... Zhu Zi is a generation of science masters, 'everything is reasonable', it should be good, right?"

Feng Junzi sat down and poured wine, thought about it, and poured a glass for Old Man Tang before saying: "Confucius said that earth etiquette is 'benevolence'. Zhu Xi's reason is 'dead reason'. There is nothing wrong with 'everything is reasonable,' but it is not wrong that 'the Taoist heart is not the heart of the human heart'! When he talks about a 'heavenly principle,' he always can't get along with 'human desires.' Talking about heaven and reason, but erasing the nature of people. ”

Old man Tang was still smiling: "The word Tianli is the common people who are physicists, don't they also say that there is always Tianli in the world?"

Wind Gentleman: "There is heavenly reason. That's right, but the mistake lies in the principles of heaven, not his Zhu Xi's principles, and when he talks about the principles of heaven and destroys the desires of the people in the world, he becomes a person who does not speak of the principles of heaven. This implies a very dangerous trap – academic ideological hegemony and spiritual authoritarianism. This is poison, this is a legacy! How many generations have been ruined until now. The legacy of the physicist has been deeply imprinted in the soul of every generation of those in power, and the era you have experienced, including the era I have experienced, can't you see such traces?"

The smile on Old Man Tang's face gradually faded. He also drank a glass of wine and looked at the gentleman thoughtfully: "This is the gentleman's residence, not the Goose Lake Temple (Note 2), I am not Zhu Fuzi, and you are not 6 Jiuyuan." ...... Hmm? wait. I almost got you in on the stinking boy. ...... Stinky boy, what are you doing at home? How did your parents clean you up?"

Old Man Tang suddenly jumped out of this debate about science and geography and asked if the gentleman had provoked his parents at home? Liu Fei'er and I were both a little surprised. Looking at the expression of the wind gentleman, it seemed that he had been hit by someone all of a sudden, his face immediately became aggrieved, and his voice was an octave lower. He cowardly asked Old Man Tang, "Teacher Tang, how did you see that?"

Jiang is still old and spicy, it turns out that the evil fire of the wind gentleman is at home and is angry with his parents. Liu Fei'er and I didn't expect it at all, but in a few words, Old Man Tang saw through it. I saw Old Man Tang pour another glass of wine and said with a smile: "You are still a filial son! Yougang often dare not scold his parents." But Zhu Xi, who is determined to be regular, is angry!"

Feng Junzi nodded: "I understand filial piety, teacher's morality, and humanity." That's why I am disgusted with what Zhu Zi said about the ancestors who wanted to exist for eternity, and the kind of outline that is constant ......"

Old man Tang: "Don't talk about that useless! Tell me how your parents cleaned you up? I just heard you scold Qin Shi Huang for burning books and pit Confucianism, did your extracurricular idle books have been confiscated?"

Feng Junzi said miserably like a deflated ball: "It's not just that the treasure that I have treasured for many years was torn to pieces by my mother!" Old man Tang was really powerful, and he guessed the truth of the matter at once. Here's the cause and effect

I have seen the discipline of the Wind Gentleman's mother, sometimes too harsh. I remember that Feng Junzi once read a copy of "Interesting Physics" at home, which caused her dissatisfaction. She thinks that this is an idle scholar, and that a gentleman should only read textbooks and tutorial workbooks. Although I have said him a few times before, there has been no conflict, and he has always been peaceful.

Both of his parents work in the same unit, and his father is a leader of the unit. In the past few days, his mother thought that he was fully qualified in terms of work performance and qualifications, but he was not evaluated. She thought that it was a certain leader of the unit, that is, the father of the gentleman, who deliberately made an obstruction and did not comment on her, in order to show her "high demeanor and bright moderation, and the virtuous and avoid relatives". His mother had a fight with his father. But nothing came of it. I didn't comment on it first, and I got angry with my husband.

When I went home on this day, I saw that Mr. Feng was not there to review his homework, but was reading ancient books that had nothing to do with the college entrance examination. All at once his mother was furious, and she came at her son. The wind gentleman probably lost the Chengfeng Festival because of the forgetting of the palace, and the mood has not been very happy, this time he did not interrupt with a smile, but raised his mouth impatiently. The more he talked back, the angrier his mother became. In the end, his mother told him to take refuge in the bathroom. At this time, her mother did something in her anger that made the wind gentleman stunned.

She opened the drawer of the Wind Gentleman's desk and the camphor wood box under his bed, and turned out a lot of idle books that had nothing to do with "studying" and tore them into pieces. At this time, the father of the Wind Gentleman also came home, and it happened that the Wind Gentleman came out of the bathroom and saw all this. The kid quit on the spot, pulled his father to judge, and made a fuss about his mother's compensation. estimate

Considering that his father's mood was not too good, he said: "Tear it up, tear it, it's okay to concentrate on studying!"

Feng Junzi is sad, sad and angry, but there is nothing he can do in the face of his parents. That's it. He ran to Zhiwei Building in a fit of anger and began to drink alcohol and scolded Zhu Xi and Qin Shi Huang, and the more he scolded, the more energetic he became.

After listening to this paragraph, we all understood that the wind gentleman was feeling and waving the topic today. I can only sympathize with what happened to him. If someone else offended him, I might have been able to help, but there was nothing anyone could do about the two who offended him today. asked the reason for this, and everyone had to comfort him a few words. The words were broken, and the boy's anger gradually subsided. Old man Tang regained interest in the topic just now, he poured a glass of wine for Feng Junzi and asked: "You are really good, you actually think of Qin Shi Huang's book burning pit, Confucianism and scolding Zhu Fuzi with a bloody head." If your parents hear you beat around the bush, they don't know whether to be happy or angry. ...... But. You're not going to scold so hard, are you? You're about to scold the eternal articles!"

Feng Junzi muttered, "At the beginning, it was a few words of relief. Later, the more he scolded, the more he felt that Qin Shi Huang and Zhu Xi should be scolded. In the end, I forgot that I was angry at home. ...... Teacher Tang, I said that Zhu Xi is a pseudo-Confucian. Science is a usurper, do you agree?"

Old Man Tang: "I agree with you with reservations, and there is a little truth in what you said. I think that the revolutionary pen of Lin and Confucius, who criticized Lin and criticized Confucius, poured all the dirty water on the Confucian saints, such as feudal etiquette, the three outlines and the five permanent women's foot binding, and the widow's death festival. In fact, this is all a good thing done by Zhu Fuzi and the physicists. How many scoldings did you say Confucius suffered for Zhu Xi? I feel wronged by the saint!"

Wind Gentleman: "That's not the point, the most annoyingly. He tampered with the scriptures and forged the classics, and was actually used as official learning by later generations. ”

Old man Tang smiled: "Actually, Zhu Zi is still good at studying as an official, and some of the fault is not Zhu Zi." ...... Then why did you get involved with Qin Shi Huang again, I see that you scolded Qin Huang very hard?"

Feng Junzi: "Zhu Zi wants to make mistakes that he can't make, let these emperors make up for them." Li Si did not let the people of the world talk about the past, and the present Qin Shi Huang ordered the burning of books and Confucianism. Everyone in the world shut up and be idiots. Just listen to one person! This is the same path as Zhu Xi, and the two extremes of the earth -- with him, this heavenly principle should not be desired in the world. ...... Do you know that there is one thing I hate the most when I read books and newspapers now? Do you think this thing can be unified and should be unified?"

Old man Tang: "Stop, let's just talk about the ancients." In fact, no matter how much you scold Zhu Xi, he is still a great scholar and thinker. When it comes to 'rationality and righteousness', its achievements are not below Hegel's. ”

Feng Junzi: "A great man is a great man who should be scolded or scolded." Even if it is a profound thought, academia has become the divine authority of the world, and the consequences are terrible. For example, there was Nietzsche first, then Hitler, first Zhu Xi, and then hundreds of years, and then there were eight strands of ......"

Old man Tang: "Shut up, don't talk too far! You said that Zhu Zi tampered with the scriptures and forged the classics, don't talk about it empty-mouthed, and get some evidence." ”

Wind Gentleman: "There is one evidence at hand. In the "Book of Songs", there is a 'female rooster crowing', how do you memorize it?"

Old man Tang: "When I'm old, I don't have a good memory, and I really can't memorize it." Can you recite it, Mr. Liu?"

Just now, Liu Fei'er and I had been sitting next to each other, listening to an old man and a small fight, unable to interject. Old man Tang asked Liu Fei'er before he replied: "The female is called the rooster and the scholar is called Yudan." Zixing sees that the night star is rotten. ......”

Wind Gentleman: "That's right. Ishino, what do you mean by these poems?"

The discussion expanded, and the Wind Gentleman brought me in. I replied, "Actually, it's simpler." The woman said the rooster crowed, and the man said it wasn't dawn yet......"

Wind Gentleman: "You see, you see, even Ishino knows what it means. It's a man, a woman, and a bed, and the woman says it's time to get up, and the man still doesn't want to get up. How normal is this? Ishino, do you often do this?"

This gentleman's anger has disappeared, but after all, he still drank too much wine, and actually asked me such things in front of Mr. Liu. Teacher Liu's face was slightly red, a little uncomfortable, and he said hello: "I see it's okay here, you can talk, I won't bother." He got up and said goodbye and walked out of the gentleman's house.

I glared at the gentleman, but the kid didn't see it at all, and he was still there, and said drunkenly: "What Shi Ye is holding in his hand is Zhu Xi's annotated "Book of Songs", how do you see this pig's head annotated? That woman hallucinated and heard the wrong time, because she was always thinking about reminding her husband to go to the morning court on time. ......The Book of Songs, but Confucius compiled it so that Zhu Xi made it look like this, it can't be more absurd, it's just perverted!"

Old man Tang also smiled and pointed to the two books in my hand and asked the gentleman: "What's the matter with these two books? Did you bring them? Why haven't they been torn up by your mother?"

Feng Junzi picked up his wine glass and drank it all with a bitter face, and said: "The scraps of paper on the ground are intact, and these two books are actually Zhu Xi's! Why don't you say I'm angry? Is this a coincidence? It's just angry with me!"

Old man Tang: "No wonder you think of scolding Zhu Xi that there is such a reason." You said your mom was angry when she saw what you were reading, and what book were you reading at the time?"

Note 1: On the basis of Ercheng's adaptation of "University" and "The Mean" from the "Book of Rites", Zhu Xi annotated chapters and sentences and added the 134 characters he wrote into the original text of "University". At the same time, Zhu Xi also made annotations on the Analects and Mencius, respectively, and his own annotations on the University and the Mean, which were published at the same time in the first year of the reign of Emperor Guangzong of the Song Dynasty (119o). Later generations collectively called the "Four Books and Chapters and Sentences Collection Notes", which is the origin of the "Four Books". After the Yuan Dynasty resumed the imperial examination, he used the "Notes on the Four Books" to test the scholars. Since then, the "Annotations on the Four Books" has become the standard answer for the imperial examination. The eight-share questions of the Ming and Qing imperial examinations must come from the four books, and Zhu Xi's annotations are the most important scriptures.

Note 2: Zhu and 6 were two different schools of thought within Yili during the Southern Song Dynasty, and due to their different views, the two schools had a long-term debate on academic issues. In the second year of the Chunxi reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty (1175), in order to reconcile the differences between Zhu 6, another famous scholar Lu Zuqian, invited Zhu Xi and the brothers 6 Jiuyuan and 6 Jiuling to gather at the Ehu Temple in Xinzhou (in present-day Leadshan County, Jiangxi) to discuss the main issue of "the way to learn". This is the famous "Goose Lake Meeting" in China's academic history.
