Chapter 1278 Why are people today inferior to those of the ancients

The previous debate was soaring, and Lu, Zhang and Wang also recorded it soaring.

During the break in the half, Shao Xun glanced at him and laughed in silence.

Pei Xuan, Mao Bang and his speeches were nothing. The words spoken by the natives of the counties who answered questions and answered with them were written in front of the words "The Day of the Virtuous and Good" and the name and origin of the speaker were noted at the end.

Suddenly, it made people return to the famous salt and iron conference debate in the pre-Han period.

However, the scholars of the Daliang Dynasty did not argue whether they wanted to "compete with the people for profit" one by one. It is hard to say that many natives have done business since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and they may not want the Shaofu to compete with them for profit.

But to be honest, Shao Xun hopes that there are more breeding experts like Wang Rong and Mrs. Guo.

During the Han Dynasty, only big cities had a certain scale of businesses. Now with the government soldiers, there is another consumer group, and the number is still quite large. The latest data is 97,200 people.

Their consumption capacity is certainly not as good as that of the rich, and they cannot withstand the number of them. Before they went bankrupt due to the war, it is generally not small. At least for now, the locations of military governments in the world are places where small and medium-sized merchants often go. Large merchants generally only do wholesale and rarely face the terminal directly.

Retracting his thoughts, Shao Xun looked at Xie An who was specially summoned and asked, "What is An Shi's opinion after a morning of debate? But it's okay to say it."

Xie An waved the feather fan in his hand.

Everyone stared at him. This fifteen-year-old boy is too uncountable, right?

It would be fine if you do this in front of Wang Yan. After all, he is a verbal person, but the person in front of him is a knife handle. Do you know what kind of temperament he is?

But Buxun smiled and his face did not change at all.

Xie Anyu fan pointed to an old pine tree in the courtyard and said, "This tree grew alone, and stood firm for many years because the north wind blew. When Yao and Shun hung, they had never counted a few ears of millet, but the whole world was well treated."

Shao Xun continued to smile and nodded slightly.

He kept his word and spoke freely during the meeting of the Vientiane Academy, and was not guilty, so he didn't say anything.

"However," Xie An turned his head, held a feather fan in his hand and bowed to the northwest direction, saying, "If there were no diligent people like Yimingong, the idle man in the Matsushita, the idle man in Yehei, would be hungry and talk about the mystery."

Damn, show off! Shao Xun secretly complained, this kind of person who likes to pretend has always been there since he was a child.

"This is very good." Shao Xun nodded and left.

When he walked away, Xie An left with his hands behind his back and roared, and went to the yard to find his friends.

Shao Xunze came to the prince, patted his shoulder, and said, "Liulang, how about it?"

"After listening for a long time, I always feel that my father's thoughts are too long-term." Shao Jin told the truth.

"Continue to listen." Shao Xun smiled and said, "I am not only good at sowing seeds on women, but also good at sowing seeds for the world."

Shao Jin glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that there was no one around him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't joke, there are many famous people in various counties today."

Shangshu Ri: "It's ridiculous to have far-fetched explanations! The emperor made the world question it, and if it cannot be proved, it is suspicious.

You go quickly.”

After He Dian was refuted, he changed Zhang Yu's record and let Wang Xizhi take a breath and rest for a while.

Shao Xun asked someone to take the record.

Why is this impure motive? If I hadn't been guilty of being punished for my words today, I would have been scolded severely.

What he said is actually the rigid routines of the late Han Confucian Confucianism, the inspiration of heaven and man, and the far-fetched ones. It still has a very market today.

Even those who are passionate about metaphysics learn this thing.

As for how much they believe, it depends on the individual. Anyway, Wang Yan likes to talk about this very much, but Bu Xun found that he actually didn't believe it. The reason is very simple. Many astrological signs, the changes in the sky, the strange phenomena of the sun and the moon were not fulfilled at all. Some were to find an event that happened after the strange phenomenon, and it was far-fetched to put it on.

This is also the main reason why some people question the theory of induction of heaven and man. Why does it sound like a hindsight?

Mao Bang deeply understood his intention and proposed to prove it.

You can't prove it, that's a hypothesis, don't take this as the truth.

This questioning and empirical attitude is what Shao Xun strongly wants to promote, and it is also the main reason why he proposed "seeking truth from facts" in his major policies.

The debate has been so far, to be honest, that there is a sign of deviating from the topic. It can be seen that it does not refute from the thought itself, but moves back to personal attacks.

Maybe it's the case until the end of the debate.

The former Han Salt and Iron Conference debate, and at the end, Sang Hongyang talked about finance and national defense, and virtuous literature talked about using love to generate electricity. You talk about yours,

When I talk about mine, I am giving out my opinions, and talking to the duck.

But this kind of debate cannot be said to be meaningless. At least it can win some of the centrists, and make those who are already inclined to you better understand the profound meaning, and may even weaken the will of the opposition.

Even in modern society, such policy discussions and debates are still common, and even those who initiated the meeting have made a decision in their minds.

After sending the record back, Shao Xun was about to continue listening, but someone asked him again.

Well? Who is so ignorant of the rules and always goes beyond the debater he sets to "assassinate the king and kill him"?

When I looked up, I found out that it was the Brazilian prefect Gong Zhuang. Who brought him? Does the prefect want to do things? Is it good to throw it to the county magistrate?

Forget it, those who stab me in the face will be innocent today.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, I have five thousand words to keep quiet and hold on to one thing, which makes people happy in their body and mind. But Your Majesty makes people understand the truth, and may get one or two strange things and prosper the family and the industry, but it will ultimately go against the original intention of the saint." Gong Zhuang said.

"First, I am holding on to the quiet and embracing oneness, not to guard the nothingness, but to guard the Tao. Although the Tao is invisible and formless, it is not without traces to be found. The Tao produces all things, and all things hold a part of the Tao nature, just like cinnabar being heated in the furnace and forming sulfur and mercury. Both have their own talents, but they are different from cinnabar. Is this Tao born? Is life?" Shao Xun asked.

Gong Zhuang frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "It seems like life."

"That's right." Shao Xun said, "What is Tao? The first paragraph is written, which is integrated and mixed with the fundamental things of all things in the universe, which is called Tao. I have noted it at the end of the first paragraph. The principle of Tao is the fundamental principles of the universe, which I call 'truth'. Truth is Tao, but without spiritual wisdom, it is a dead thing. People can also use part of Tao that all things hold on to. Isn't it close to the great way? If generations of people continue, they may truly achieve enlightenment and attain enlightenment."

After saying that, Shao Xun continued to give an example: "Can there be sulfur and mercury in cinnabar?"

"No." Gong Zhuang shook his head.

"The cinnabar was borrowed from man's hands and turned into sulfur and mercury. This is how humans transformed into Tao. Those who can do this and understand the principles of it have already collected a Tao nature." Shao Xun said, "If you can understand the fact that plants and trees turn into grass alkali, you will collect the second Tao nature. The more you collect, the more you will be clearer, and you will be almost attained by Tao." Shao Xun said, "Do you want to obtain Tao?"

Gong Zhuang looked inexplicably and sighed, "I am old."

"You can understand how many Taoist natures are. This is not a night of success. It is like Yugong moving mountains, and his descendants are endless. One day, he will be able to collect them all." Shao Xun said again: "Besides, there are many scholars in the world who advocate empty talk, but in the end there are those who are more important than practice, and those who have ambitions work together. The Wanxiang Academy collects the Taoist natures that everyone masters, and it is not so slow to make it public."

Gong Zhuang couldn't help asking, "Can you really achieve enlightenment?"

Shao Xun asked, "Did you talk about Liezi walking against the wind?"

"I'm talking about the mistakes."

"Liezi's movement is difficult to distinguish between true and false," said Shao Xun: "But ordinary people may not need to be able to achieve the Tao to move against the wind. The "New Theory of Chongyou" mentioned things other than things. Perhaps the understanding of Tao and truth of Tao may deepen. One day, you can move by relying on things other than things to control the wind without truly achieving enlightenment."

Gong Zhuangran immediately laughed.

"What I said just now is only one of them, and there are two more." Shao Xun said again: "Most of the classics are written in the pre-Qin period. What was the Central Plains at that time? What was it now? I have repeatedly mentioned 'keep keeping pace with the times' and appreciate these four words well."

"Why are people today not as good as those of the ancients? Confucians always say that they say that the poem says that the Xuanshi often Lao Zhuang and Zhuang, and they have no ambition. Taixue and Guozi still learn the classics of pre-Qin, but how many years have passed since the pre-Qin period? Hundreds and thousands of years have passed. Are the habits and knowledge of the ancestors the same as that of the present? Is the classics that were suitable for that time still applicable to today? Repairing and repairing may still be useful, but why don't you create a new study? Let future generations read your classics?"

"The Analects of Confucius was written hundreds of years ago. It doesn't matter if I read it today. But if I still use this book as a test table for the Taixue Jingshu for hundreds of years or even thousands of years later, I am really disappointed. I am afraid that Confucius would also scold future generations for being unsuccessful. Why are people who are still examining his books in a thousand years or two thousand years later?"

"Confucius is like this, and Lao Zhuangzi is the same. Can the nine provinces of China be inferior to each other and have never been able to publish a great masterpiece so that our ancestors can not be more beautiful than before? The Taixue exam is now taking the Five Classics set by Emperor Wu of Han. How many years will I have to wait before I can invite these Five Classics out of the Taixue?"

Gong Zhuang's face changed drastically and he was speechless for a moment.

Speaking of this, Shao Xun finally concluded: "You collect hundreds of thousands of hu of grain from the shopkeeper every year, which is more than enough to support your entire clan. I don't ask for more. I do what I can. I will take out tens of thousands of hu of grain every year and study the principles of all things in the universe. If you have something to gain,

I will send a book to the Wanxiang Academy to exchange my experiences with my colleagues and publish them in the compilation of the articles. I will send them back to you regularly. Without accumulating steps, I can’t reach a thousand miles. Every time I do something, I will be one step closer to the great way. You should encourage me."

After saying that, Shao Xun left the table and got up, and went to change his clothes.

In fact, he didn't want to say more, just let the debater talk to them.

Without today's debate, it is true that some of them are doing research out of spontaneous hobbies.

But having this debate may attract more people to participate, and that's the purpose.
