Chapter 63: Is Wang Jiefu unreasonable?

Elegant restaurant private room.

Qin Dynasty, Jun Yueru, and Lian Miaoyu ordered the wine and food.

"Alright, it's time to talk about it. ”

"What do you want us to write?" As the former lord of Cihang Jingzhai, Jun Yueru's knowledge is extremely profound, although the Yin sect of Pian Miaoyu is weaker than Cihang Jingzhai, but Pian Miaoyu's knowledge is also extremely good when it is outside.

"I threw out the real intention of the Tool Theory. Qin Chao was silent, the three of them were all innate masters, so they could naturally keep their words from being heard by people outside the box.

The two women glanced at each other, and the Qin Dynasty threw out Aristotle's "Theory of Tools", unlike outsiders, they knew that this was the work of the Greek sage Aristotle, but they didn't understand why the Qin Dynasty cared so much about these articles, and they had studied them carefully, although they had ideas in their hearts, they were not sure.

"Sister Pity, Jun Fairy, the real function of this work is actually a 'tool'. ”

"Tools?"

"A tool for learning. Qin Chao muttered.

"Could it be ......" After Qin Chao's reminder, an idea in Jun Yueru and Pian Miaoyu's minds gradually became clear.

It is to tell people how to sort out the thinking in their minds when doing scholarship, and how to make the entire knowledge system rigorous without the slightest loophole, so as to find the true and clear truth. ”

"That's right. Pian Miaoyu's eyebrows moved: "I should have thought of it, that's it." ”

Jun Yueru also nodded, at this moment, all kinds of mixed ideas in the instrumental theory in her mind seemed to be strung together by a thread, but ......

Jun Yueru looked at Qin Chao: "I always think that although your intentions are good, they are a little frivolous. ”

"Yes, I always think it's not necessary, what you are talking about here, in fact, people naturally apply it in their lives. Pointing it out is just adding to the problem. Lian Miaoyu also said.

"Chicken ribs?"

Qin Chao was speechless in his heart, indeed, in this world, who would say that he was unreasonable in his speech? Unless ordinary people had water in their heads, they all thought that they were reasonable, and it was others who were unreasonable, not to mention Jun Yueru, Pian Miaoyu and others.

"Two sisters. Qin Chao smiled slightly. "Let me ask you, do you think Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are unreasonable in their words?"

The two women were stunned.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are both first-class and extremely intelligent people in the world, and these two people are also at the top level in human history.

"Sima Xianggong, Wang Xianggong's talent, learning and resourcefulness, not to mention the present, even for thousands of years, are also first-class, and their names will be glorious through the ages. How can it be unreasonable?" Jun Yueru looked at the Qin Dynasty suspiciously.

Pian Miaoyu smiled and looked at Qin Chao with some contempt: "Young Master Qin, isn't this nonsense." Although you are also extremely intelligent, but your great wisdom may not be comparable to the two of them, could it be that Qin Gongzi wants to talk wildly, saying that Sima is unwise and An Shi is unscrupulous?"

"I believe in their wisdom. Qin Chao sneered, "But if you don't be reasonable, it's not necessarily." ”

"Oh?"

"Young Master Qin. That Miaoyu wants to listen to Gao Jian. Pian Miaoyu chuckled.

"Back then, Wang Anshi changed the law, and Sima Guang wrote several letters to persuade him. These are the famous three copies of the "Book with Wang Jiefu". Qin Chao said in a deep voice, "I don't know if you have read these three letters. ”

"Qin Gongzi, you are well-informed. Jun Yueru raised her eyebrows, "Sima Guang did write three letters, but I don't know the content of the letters. Do you know?"

Miaoyu didn't know either. ”

The Qin Dynasty naturally knew that the correspondence of Sima Guang and Wang Anshi in this era was only kept in their respective homes and shown to relatives and friends, and was not fully published to the world.

In view of Sima Guang's repeated persuasion, Wang Anshi replied to a letter, which is the "Reply to Sima's Advice". This article is even more famous, and Shilin has also circulated. Qin Chao said, "The four letters of the two of them, I have heard from someone in a letter, I will recite it to you first......" After Qin Chao finished reciting the letter, after explaining it clearly, he said: "This letter is unreasonable." ”

"What?"

Pian Miaoyu stared, and Jun Yue's eyes shot straight into the Qin Dynasty like electricity.

Just now after they listened to the Qin Dynasty's explanation of the recitation of the original letter, what Sima Guang and Wang Anshi said was reasonable and well-founded, and the reason was rigorous, and they could not see anything inappropriate. But the Qin Dynasty actually said that the two were unreasonable?

Looking at the incredulous expressions of the two women, Qin Chao also sighed in his heart.

The four letters of Sima Guang and Wang Anshi on changing the law are very famous in history, especially Wang Anshi's "Reply to Sima's Advice", which is sought after by countless people.

"Wang Anshiwen makes good use of the method of unmasking, and with only one or two words, he can sweep away a large number of his people, how simple and expensive!"

"It is made of arrogance, and it is also rational and vigorous, so it is strong and incorruptible. ”

......

The words of praise are endless, this pursuit is more than a thousand years, even in later generations, there are still many people talk about it, admire, it can be seen that Wang Anshi's reply letter is strong in terms of reasoning, how rational and reasonable.

Now he says he is unreasonable.

Jun Yueru and Pian Miaoyu are not ignorant villagers who are all over the world, so they are naturally unconvinced.

"Qin Gongzi, if you don't say that you are ugly today, you might as well find someone else for this newspaper article. Pian Miaoyu said with a smile. Jun Yueru looked at Qin Chao lightly: "Qin Gongzi, I hope your truth can convince Yueru's heart." ”

"Wang Anshi's "Answer to Sima's Advice" seems to be a royal way, but in fact it is sophistry, and listen to me one by one, first of all, stealing beams and changing pillars, changing the concept of debate, Wang Anshi in this article, did not defend Sima Guang's specific criticism, but refined his criticism, and transformed it into another proposition that is beneficial to Wang Anshi......"

"The first point we must be clear is what Sima Guang's blame is, and this one must be clear......

"Just as you say apples, I don't argue with you about apples, but when you say that your apples actually refer to fruits, generalizing from branches and leaves to the roots, which seems to be correct, but in fact it is absurd......"

"The concept has changed, the proposition has changed, and there is no need to look at Wang Anshi's justification later, because it is an invalid debate, but I still have to say ......"

Therefore, in the "Theory of Tools", the first thing is to clarify the concept, the definition, and the nature. Quantity, time, place......"

......

The Qin Dynasty gushed endlessly.

In fact, the biggest reason why Wang Anshi's "Answer to Sima's Advice" is respected is that it is clear that everything Sima Guang said is correct, and all problems exist, but Wang Anshi replied. But everyone had to accept it, and they had to think that they were wrong.

This logic, like '2/4 equals 1/2?' The denominator of 2/4 is 4? So the 1/2 denominator is 4? This ...... is obviously wrong, but it makes people speechless.

But what is wrong is wrong after all.

Wang Anshi's various problems in changing the law are realistic, and his eloquence cannot hide the facts.

Although countless celebrities, Confucians, and scholars before the Qing Dynasty gave a very high evaluation to the "Answer to Sima's Advice" and sought after it, they are descendants. Those who really studied logic, analyzed Wang Anshi's reply to Sima Guang's letter from the perspective of logic, and knew that it was just sophistry, but that kind of sophistry made people have to be convinced and worshipped.

The Qin Dynasty used the methods in the "Theory of Tools" to analyze the "Answer to Sima's Advice" one by one, at first Jun Yueru and Pian Miaoyu sneered at the corners of their mouths, and they were not convinced in their eyes, but they listened to it for a while. His face changed.

......

Long.

Jun Yueru, Lian Miaoyu, and Qin Chao came out of the restaurant.

Jun Yueru and Lian Miaoyu both had heavy faces and were silent.

"You're right. ”

Suddenly, Jun Yueru spoke.

Pian Miaoyu also sighed in a low voice: "Wang Anshi's "Answer to Sima's Advice" is very well written. But put it together with Sima Guang's "Book with Wang Jiefu", and then use the method of "Tool Theory" you wrote, step by step......" Pian Miaoyu sighed in her heart, after listening to the originals of the four letters, she was 100% sure that there was no mistake, but she was afraid of being serious in everything. According to the "Theory of Tools", the Qin Dynasty enlarged the details one by one, broke apart one argument after another, and after crumpling them, he found that he was wrong after another analysis, and he was very wrong.

"We've always been. Are they all on the wrong path?" Jun Yueru muttered in a low voice.

Impact!

Everyone understands the story of paradox.

But Sima Guang's correspondence with Wang Anshi, Sima Guang said Wang Anshi, it's wrong for you to do this, what he said is right in the eyes of everyone, but Wang Anshi's rebuttal, I am right to do this, and everyone also thinks that his words are reasonable.

There is no such thing in the world.

This is a paradox, but no one can see that it is wrong.

The Qin Dynasty's analysis of the four letters, the impact on Jun Ruyue, is no smaller than the Qin Dynasty's throwing out sexual evil, and then scoring more than 40,000.

Time passes.

"Qin Gongzi, what do you think?"

In a room, Jun Yueru and Pian Miaoyu looked at the Qin Dynasty expectantly, since listening to the sophistry of the Qin Dynasty in the "Answer to Sima's Advice" that day, the two of them really realized the importance of 'speaking logic' to the entire reading class and the whole world.

As soon as I returned to the room, I pondered it and began to write an article that pointed out the truth of 'speaking logic'.

After adding and deleting again and again, coupled with the oral narrative on the side of the Qin Dynasty, it was opened, after all, there were many erroneous logic, or sophistic stories, and there were many stories in the minds of the Qin Dynasty from later generations.

The two actually wrote an entire book, "The Art of Sophistry".

Qin Chao looked at the manuscript in his hand, in addition to explaining the importance of 'logic' in this book, he also gave many examples, especially the 'famous masters' in the hundred schools. Famous artists are mainly debated, and many sophistry stories in it used to make people admire their eloquence, but also angry and helpless, and they couldn't figure out how to refute it, but the two of them used the knowledge of "Tool Theory" one by one to analyze, where is the problem and why is it so...... Suddenly, it was like viewing the patterns in the palm of your hand, and they were clear one by one.

"Huh?"

Turning to the back, Qin Chao suddenly laughed.

At the back of this article, the two women actually showed the content of the four letters between Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, and gave the reader a question - what is wrong with trying out the knowledge in "Theory of Tools" and analyzing "Answering Sima's Advice"?

"Yes, that's fine, but you're writing so much that you can't afford a newspaper or two. Qin Chao said.

"We're ready to serialize. ”

"That's fine. "The Qin Dynasty also knows that this kind of thing is urgent, not that you publish an article in the newspaper, and the concept of logic will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if a culture wants to penetrate into the hearts of the people and integrate into the bones of the nation, it needs at least one generation, and it will take three generations to be truly safe.

"Qin Gongzi, do you think there is anything else to add?"

"Is this...... For the last question, you can also add a little snack. Qin Chao said with a smile.

"A snack?"

"Well, I suggest a prize-winning essay. ”

"Essay with a prize?"

......

Soon, the first serialized article in the new issue of the newspaper "The Art of Sophistry" -- "Preface," "The Tools of Knowledge," and "A Brief Discussion on the Instrument." (To be continued......)
