Chapter 104 Six Arts and Times

Simple and easy-to-understand morality is easy to understand; real and uncultivated morality is easy to promote.

Ximen Teng, who was a nobleman, explained these two sentences to his father under Ximen Bao's nose.

Ximen Bao and Ximen Teng knew exactly what the father and son were going to argue today.

It takes three feet of ice to be cold for a day.

Today, when we walked to Ximen Bao, waiting for his son to question him in the study, it did not happen suddenly.

This is a long and must-go process in the waves of the times.

Twisted, but helpless.

Since Ximen Tsu was born as a nobleman, the original gentleman's six arts called one is five rituals, two is six music, three is five archery, four is five archery, five is six script, and six is ​​nine numbers.

These six arts are the "compulsory education" of the ruling class. Only by being proficient in the six arts can we learn the intrigue, the art of war and the art of domination.

Six Arts are very good.

Even though Ximen Tsui was born as a concubine, his family conditions still gave him enough opportunities to learn the Six Arts.

The Ximen may not be a naughty surname like the Inoue or the Underworld. It may also be that a child of a noble family lives in the west gate of the city and uses this as his surname.

Ximen Bao has a good background and his family's fiefdom is enough for the family's children to receive a good education.

The Six Arts itself is also very good, but Ximen Tsubasa has not learned much about these Six Arts.

Shooting and the art of control are the foundation for the military nobles and warriors to settle down.

Even if Ximen Tsu was born as a concubine, such skills needed to be learned, and the family would also provide scholars as masters to teach them the art of archery.

The Battle of Hanshui seems to be just a battle between the Mohist and Yue Kingdom for the hegemony of Si Shang, but for the world, some of the influence is far better than the hegemony of Si Shang.

At the beginning of the war, the Yue Kingdom sent warriors to challenge the troops. Several famous warriors from Yue Kingdom wanted to learn the battle between the two Tangs, and Xu Bo, Le Bo, and Shu, were shot into sieve by the cannons and muskets of the Mohist charity army.

At the beginning of the war, 150 elite chariots of the Yue Kingdom attacked the left wing of the Yi army, but were directly destroyed by the volley of artillery and heavy muskets.

At the strongest battle, the five hundred stirrups of the righteous army raised their troops and launched a surprise attack from the flanks, directly defeating the left wing of the Vietnamese army, forcing King Yi of Yue to adjust his deployment, which indirectly led to the final failure.

This war had a huge impact on the young nobles.

Is shooting meaningful in an era when common people can form formations and fire muskets and artillery volleys?

Even though I am proficient in five shots, can I beat five musketeers alone?

As a noble child, I have been learning shooting skills for more than ten years since I was born, and I have worn my fingers many times. In the end, I am not sure if I can win against five farmers who have trained for three months.

Is it meaningful to have a intensive impact in an era of stirrups, saddles, and uprisings and formations?

As a noble child, I started to learn to drive from a little older, car left, car shot, and hold the sword. But I spent nearly twenty years learning all this, do I have any advantage in the stirrups formed by farmers raised up?

When aristocrats cannot fight against a hundred, the military value of the aristocrats themselves will actually no longer exist.

The chariots, knights, and samurai are actually the same.

Without gunpowder, the people are poor, and warriors in armor and trained from profession can fight one hundred. Even more, in front of the conscripted peasants, a chariot of three scholars can destroy the defense of hundreds of people.

But once gunpowder appears, they cannot fight a hundred, so the monarch will have other choices. Therefore, they are no longer the pillars of the monarch's power, but an obstacle to the monarch's centralization, because the monarch can use cheaper farmers to spend less money to achieve the same or even better results. A three-soldier chariot will definitely not be able to rush to the front of three hundred musketeers, and will not even touch anyone.

When Ximen Tsubasa was thirteen years old, he gave up learning the art of archery. Some of the above words were his reasons when facing Ximen Bao's rebuke.

Ximen Bao asked Ximen Pi, if he didn't learn to be a archer, what would he want to learn?

Ximen Tsu said that artillery and muskets can defeat the monarchs, so I wanted to learn geometry.

Ximen Tsu said that musket formations can defeat shooters, so I want to learn muskets and riding.

Ximen Tsu is not the legitimate son. As long as he wants to learn something, Ximen Bao is supportive. It is better than shooting horses and lingering in the flowers in the city. Then, when the Marquis of Jin went out of the city to tryst and met his mistress in the middle of the night, he would rather learn some riding horses and muskets.

At that time, the Mohist family had many activities in Ye, and some night schools also gathered many people from the market. At first, they learned calligraphy, but later they began to learn some advanced content, such as mitten three lews, four strings, and five.

Ximen Teng therefore gave up on studying Yushe, and instead devoted himself to the Mohist night school in Yecheng, and began to learn these novel things from birth.

Ximen Bao was in a high position, even if he was honest, he still had a fiefdom. He spent some money to buy a few high-quality hunting muskets for his son, a set of the best stirrups and saddle bridles.

Once such a head is opened, the boundaries behind it become blurred.

Ximen Ting directly chose not to learn two of the six arts, but the remaining nine numbers are the best.

The study of nine numbers says: square fields, corn, difference, small and broad, business achievements, lose all, equations, failures, and lack of winning, and the side must be.

There are nine types in total, including geometry and algebra.

Square fields refer to the calculation of land area and plane geometry area.

Corn refers to the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of the calculation transaction amount, which is considered the content of the fifth grade of elementary school in later generations.

Difference is actually a decline, and this decline is the same as the decline in the funeral. According to funerals, the son wears several veins of the longitude and latitude, and arranges according to the arithmetic or equal-grade sequence according to the kinship of the difference and equal-grade sequence. The difference is about the arithmetic sequence and the equal-grade sequence.

If it is too broad, it means knowing the area of ​​a rectangle or square, and finding the length of a side, which is derived from the problem of squared similarly.

Shanggong means knowing the volume of a cube and calculating the side length of a cube, which is extended to be a cube.

To lose equally means to find a fair number. It is like a village that takes eight days from the battlefield, while another village that takes ten days from the battlefield. So the equally lost means to get one in the village that is eight days away from the battlefield, while a village that is ten days away from the battlefield is ten days away from the battlefield. This is an algorithm that uses mathematics to find fairness.

Needless to say, the remaining equations are insufficient, the so-called side key is Pythagorean.

These nine numbers are also one of the six arts, and not many people can master them. However, the Mohist school in Si Shang, the world, made a harsh statement: The study of nine numbers is the best in the world.

These harsh words have been released for more than ten years. With the virtues of the Mohist school, they are not sure enough to never make such harsh words. They are released for the sake of asking others to slap them in the face. After waiting for more than ten years, no one can shake this sentence.

After fifteen years of shouting, the world has already agreed that this sentence is the truth. When it comes to nine numbers, even those civil servants in charge of books in Luoyi have to say: The learning of nine numbers is all in Si.

Therefore, Ximen Tsui told Ximen Bao that I also learned the nine numbers of my father from the Mo family.

Ximen Bao thought, and found that the learning of the nine numbers in the world was led by the Mohist school, and no one was shaken. The learning of the nine numbers was naturally the best in the Mohist school, so he agreed.

Although paper and other things are not cheap nowadays, they are much more convenient than the bamboo slips before and are cheaper than the original silk. Ximen Bao asked someone to buy paper and pen for his son to concentrate on learning something.

At that time, he had a good impression of the Mo family, and the Mo family did have real talents and knowledge, so no one could deny this, so he didn't think much about it at that time.

In his correspondence with Wu Qi, Wu Qi also mentioned that the times have changed, and the future of the imperial shooting warriors may be replaced by full-time peasant soldiers. Ximen Bao also felt that there was no problem with Ximen's abandonment of imperial shooting and learning geometry, nine numbers, muskets, and horse riding.

Among these six arts, the three arts learned the content of the Mohist school. When it was the Six Books, Ximen Tsu directly said that he would not learn the Six Books in the clan school.

Ximen Bao was a little angry at the time and thought that it would be okay to not recognize words. However, his son recited several articles and told Ximen Bao that words are just the carrier of knowledge, just as he wanted goods on a carriage, but it was pulled from a carriage with four horses and single horses, or a carriage with single horses and double horses. Is there any difference?

As the saying goes: Zhou Li entered primary school at the age of eight, and Bao taught the country's sons, and first wrote six books.

The name of "primary school" already existed during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the meaning of primary school is the meaning of primary school in later generations. It may have been that time that he was eight years old, and two thousand years later, he was about six years old.

"Ancient rhyme words" such as Kaimeng are far inferior to those of "primary schools" when it comes to ages. They are like military-based army, divisions, brigades, companies, etc. This is retro, and those strange dynasties that sound cool are actually not retro.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many people immediately understood what this means, but they would be difficult to understand when they say "Entertainment" and thought that this might be a name outside of Jiuzhou.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the division commander, the company commander, and people from all countries could immediately think that the division commander led about a few thousand people and the company commander led one or two hundred people. The title of commander sounded like a barbarian.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the name of comrades was a kind of respect between nobles of the same surname that was closer to friends. It had existed long ago, so that the Mohist families called each other comrades, and the world agreed with each other and did not think that such a name was strange.

Since it was said that Zhou Li entered primary school at the age of eight, Bao taught the country's sons and first wrote six books.

These six books taught in primary school are one of the six arts of a gentleman, which is:

One is to refer to things, which means you can see things by looking at them, and you can see them by observing them, which is the upper and lower part;

The second is pictogram. The pictogram is painted into its object and is evident in the body, which means the sun and the moon;

The third is to form and phonography. For example, one uses things as the name, and uses examples to form each other, which is the same as rivers;

The fourth is to understand the meaning. Those who understand the meaning are similar to friendship and to see the meaning of the meaning, which is Wu Xin;

The fifth is to reprint the notes. Those who reprint the notes will create a poem of the same category, agree to accept each other, and test it as always;

Sixth, it is called "fake borrowing". Those who borrow have no words, but rely on the voice to support the situation, so that they will be the same.

This is the basic structure of Chinese characters for thousands of years.

In other words, as a qualified aristocrat, if you truly understand the Six Arts, you must know the truth and the reason in the Six Books.

The Six Books teach "the method of creating characters", not just to recognize characters.

For a truly exquisite figure, such as Confucius, if you take out a word, he can tell you the allusion of the word, origin, is it a pictographic character, a word referring to the word or a word borrowed?

Why did this word be written like this?

What's the point of writing like this?

What kind of philosophy is reflected in it?
