In the study.

"Why?"

"It's also ethical. Wang Anshi looked at the books on the bookshelf of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Zhuzi, and then looked at the book "Principles of Ethics" in his hand, his eyes were shocked.

"Sima Guang said, 'Reciting 3,000 volumes, Cao Xi died in one sentence', but now it is 'reading more than 10,000 volumes, Qin Gong is dead', Confucius's life is nothing more than advocating the practice of Zhou etiquette, his life is the most important benevolence and morality, benevolence and righteousness is the center of Confucianism, Confucianism, all the sons of a hundred schools, all the books on morality are not as good as this book. ”

Three days ago, Wang Anshi had already finished reading "Principles of Ethics", and this kind of reading is not really finished after going through the text like others, but really understanding the meaning.

At this time, Wang Anshi slowly woke up from the world in the book, and after sobering up, Wang Anshi had the heart to sort out the harvest of this reading, and then he was surprised to find a fact.

"I've read so many books and studied ethics before, but all the books I've read combined, and I don't really talk about the first half of the book. ”

The content of all Confucian ethics is less than half as deep as the "Principles of Ethics", which makes Wang Anshi confused.

Unbelief!

Wang Anshi never believed that the Confucian doctrine he had learned, believed in and respected all his life was so bad.

I don't believe that Confucius is not as good as Qin Xianao, Mencius is not as good as Qin Xianao, and the Confucian doctrines that countless great Confucians have added and modified again and again over the past thousand years are not as good as Qin Xianao, an ethical work written by a hairy guy in a short time.

Therefore, Wang Anshi went crazy again.

Again and again, he compared the Principles of Ethics with the 'ethics' section of the Confucian classics.

Undoubtedly, Confucianism also has many expositions that are extremely advanced and connotative, but once it comes to systematization and rigor, the difference becomes the difference between heaven and earth.

If you are a casual person, you will definitely deceive yourself and say what the "Principles of Ethics" says. Confucianism has also said it. But Wang Anshi is an extremely serious person who admits death.

There are many very insightful contents in the Principles of Ethics, which Confucianism has indeed pointed out.

But this kind of point is like a person who has committed cancer, occasionally someone takes Chinese medicine to cure it, can you say that Chinese medicine has conquered cancer? Casual people, self-deception will think so. But Wang Anshi would never think so.

"Father, happy event!"

The voice of excitement sounded, and I saw the door slam open.

"It's such an adult, and it's frizzy. Wang Anshi frowned, and put the "Principles of Ethics" in his hand on the table aside, "How are you reading the "Principles of Ethics"?"

Wang Bei smiled: "Father, I'm reading that book." ”

"What do you think?" Wang Anshi's gaze fell on the newspaper in Wang's hand.

"What else can you think, what is said in those books is also talked about in many Confucian books. Wang Bi handed over the newspaper, "I don't think it's a big deal." ”

"It's not a big deal?" Wang Anshi glared. "Confucianism has said it, but what he said is comparable to what he said in the Principles of Ethics? As he spoke, he opened the newspaper in his hand and skillfully flipped to the front page.

"Verbal unanimity?"

Wang Anshi was stunned, then his palms jumped, and his heart jumped violently.

'Words are consistent' Wang Anshi can't understand that what is said and what is written should be consistent, which is what it means to write articles in the vernacular.

"Is Qin Xianao finally going to start the vernacular reform?"

Wang Anshi searched down. He clearly remembered that he had written an article proposing to reform the text, because Qin Xianao had spoken to him Wang Anshi by 'telegram' at that time. He said that the timing was not right at that time, and that his article would be published when it was appropriate.

At that time, Wang Anshi still believed in this matter, but after a long time, the newspaper seemed to forget about it, and Wang Anshi died, thinking that Qin Xianao was also backward in this regard. I didn't see the benefits of the vernacular, and I was still worried about it in my heart, thinking that I would have to mention this matter to Qin Xianao again when the time came.

I didn't expect this time......

Wang Anshi's gaze swept over the newspaper, and soon, "Proposal for Literary Improvement!" Six big characters in bold characters jumped into his eyes.

"Sure enough!"

Wang Anshi's eyebrows and eyes were raised.

"Qin Xianao is worthy of being a believer!" Wang Anshi even looked at the text of 'Literary Improvement Proposal!', and sure enough, it was signed by him Wang Anshi. After that, the text content in it did not change a word, a sentence did not change, but a note was written after the whole article, which was written by Qin Xianao, which means that Wang Anshi's article was handed over to the newspaper a long time ago.

Although he Qin Xianao agreed very much with the suggestions for improving the text in Wang Anshi's text, he suppressed the article considering that the timing was not suitable......

"Good!"

Wang Anshi read his article three times and printed it in lead and put it on the newspaper, as if the article also looked much more comfortable, and Wang's eyes on the side were even brighter: "Father, I don't know that you have submitted a manuscript to the newspaper, this ...... Did you really write it?"

"Hmph, I didn't write it, is there a second Wang Anshi in this world?" Wang Anshi scolded with a smile, his eyes left his article, and looked at the first "Declaration of Consistency of Words" on the front page.

This is Qin Xianao's signed article.

"Han Yu said, 'Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts', but when it comes to preaching, teaching and solving doubts, and even opening the door of wisdom, there is no one in the world who has words. Cangjie made words, and the ghosts and gods cried. Everyone knows that literature is a major event in the world. ”

"Since you know that Anbang lies in the text, all people with lofty ideals should think more about it......"

"I have summarized my opinions and listed them as eight things, each of which ......"

"1. There is something to be said. ”

"The great disease of literature in today's world lies in the lack of words. Everyone knows that 'words have no words, and deeds are not far,' but they don't know that words have no substance, so how can they use words? The 'things' I am talking about are not what the ancients called 'words carry the Tao'......"

"Second, do not imitate the ancients. ”

"Literature changes with the times, an era has an era of literature, Zhou and Qin have the literature of Zhou and Qin, and Han and Wei have the literature of Han and Wei......"

"3. Standardize academic terminology and strengthen logic. ”

Seeing this, Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows.

"Standardize grammar and strengthen logic?"

Wang Anshi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, this third article is a new content that is not in Wang Anshi's 'Discussion on Literary Improvement'.

"This Qin Xianao, like Duan Haifeng, is a subversive demon king, this time it's not ......" Wang Anshi is most afraid of Qin Xianao's new name, but what he likes and is most excited about is to see Qin Xianao's new things, because this can often surprise him.

"I hope to surprise the old man again this time!"

Wang Anshi even looked.

"Non-standard language has an indescribable charm in literature, but for a country to develop, the beauty of language is far less useful than the truth of the laws of narration......"

"Immortals Chinese square, there are subject, predicate, object, ......"

"And in my Chinese characters, a word can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb......"

......

After looking at it for a while, Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows slightly: "So that's the case, is this just necessary?"

Standardize language, logic seems to make sense, but don't talk about logic, still live like this, the Great Song Dynasty is still the cultural center of the whole world, whether science and technology, or others, it can be said that in addition to the military, everything is the object of learning from all the states of the world, in this case, why bother with logic?

"It doesn't seem necessary, but since Qin Xianao is talking about ......"

Holding the importance of Qin Xianao, Wang Anshi continued to look down, in the text, Qin Xianao does not require all words to be strictly standardized, but for academic articles, it must be so.

"Academic articles are not literature, literature is to give people emotional impact, the enjoyment of beauty, but scholarship is for the preacher......"

"It is true that the hundred schools of thought, including Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, are used to enlighten wisdom, and it is indeed possible to ignore the norms and logical ...... of language."

"However, the hundred schools of thought, interpretation, Taoism, and Confucianism enlighten wisdom and make people have the effect of epiphany, and ordinary literary works can also have this effect, so classical Chinese can be discarded, and vernacular literature is the king's ......"

If the language is not standardized, there are many ambiguities in what you say, if you want to achieve the goal of preaching, you must explain repeatedly, and even answer the disciples' questions repeatedly in front of the disciples, so that the disciples can really not have ambiguity.

"Why has the Tao of the ancient sages been passed down to this day, and there are many commentaries......

......

Looking at the very reasonable narratives in the text, Wang Anshi's heart was pounding, as if a door was open in front of him.

"When we write commentaries on the words of the sages, we all recognize that our own commentaries are the true transmission, and even if we are disciples of Confucius, we personally listen to Confucius's preaching, and they are actually divided into eight schools. ”

"Is this the way of the sages?"

"It's just that everyone preaches their own sermons in the name of the sages. ”

"Preaching oneself in the name of a sage seems to have taken advantage, but if you really take advantage of it, I am afraid that your preaching may not be able to pass three generations, and when it comes to the second and third transmissions, it will be completely out of shape, and it will become someone else's preaching of his preaching through your fame. ”

"If you want to write words, there is nothing to ...... said"

......

Time passed, Wang Anshi was completely immersed in this article, especially the suggestion of standardizing grammar and paying attention to logic, and watched it again and again. (To be continued.) )
