Chapter 96: The Cursive Book of Meaning and Mo Dao (Part 2)
When many people in Mo Zi saw that Mo Zi had written such a passage, they thought about it in their hearts and felt like they had gained something.
Seeing this, Zaomu Qisui suddenly thought of the 54th day of the debate, when he saw the 54th day of the day, he wanted to pull the debate and was subjected to the question of "everyone comes to eat a liter of rice" and suddenly realized.
"In this way, many things cannot be argued by verbalism? With a suitable temperament, he will never argue without confidence. But his grasp comes from his understanding of Tianzhi, so how can he win? Some debate topics, even if they win verbal debate, if Tianzhi judges right or wrong, they will actually lose."
After saying a word, Mo Zi praised: "Qi Sui, you are right, that's it. Therefore, I said, I have a will, like the rules of a craftsman. But many things cannot be verified by facts, and they still need to be verbal arguments. Therefore, it can be verified by facts, so there is no need to argue."
"For example, when asked who is taller in Yan Ying or Zhong Ni, there is no need to argue with each other. It seems that there is no need to argue with each other, but in fact, what is tall? What is short? This is a rule that has been set long ago and cannot be changed, and is the foundation."
The gentleman, who rarely tells jokes on weekdays, suddenly said a joke, and everyone laughed without saying a word. Isn’t that the reason?
Yan Zi was short, so when he was on a mission to Chu State, the King of Chu dug a dog hole in the city wall. As a result, Yan Ying said that I was here in the dog State, not a human country, which made everyone know that Yan Ying was a person who didn't care about his height, so he could use this as a joke.
Confucius is tall, with long arms and wide shoulders, and rarely has opponents when driving and shooting archery. His nine-foot body is also famous all over the world.
Everyone thought that if he knew Tianzhi, he might be right as long as he said many things, and he would definitely come up with a solution if he wanted to verify it, but he just didn't know what else he knew?
Not only those Mo people were curious, but even Mozi himself was also curious.
Shi knew that the most important things he knew were actually Mozi had already said, which was what he said just now.
This is fishing, not fish.
No matter how many fish you have, it would be meaningless if no one inherits the fishing technique. If someone inherits the fishing technique, his fish will not change, and one day more people will catch it themselves.
Methods are the most important, and conclusions are secondary, especially for these people who are suitable for great hope.
The joke Mozi just now made Shi feel moved.
Since Mo Zi said that height and shortness are rules that have been set long ago, aren’t straight lines, line segments, angles and circles discussed in this way?
The essence of the "Mo Jing" lies in those definitions, and Mo Zi himself also thought about it in this way, which is the excellent beginning.
But how can we spread these definitions and principles of the Mohist school quickly? There must be a huge group that pays attention to the Mohist at any time, but this group needs to be cultivated slowly. From the beginning, we talk about things like "one middle and the same length is a circle", which is probably not attracting many people.
After careful consideration, Shi finally happily decided to do a copywriting.
He picked up his pen and said, "The words I just now were written by the teacher. The words just now are not considered words. I once read a great article. I will write them down today and listen to them together."
After saying that, he wrote the article that he had been thinking about since he was thinking about papermaking in half and half, and half-composed.
"A gentleman said: You can't learn it."
"Blue is taken from blue, but better than blue; ice is made from water, but cold is..."
While writing, he read Xunzi's famous works aloud... At least the first half is Xunzi's famous works.
After "A gentleman's nature is not different, but he is good at lie in things", this sentence was put behind it. Then this passage uses Liu Bowen's "Talking about Tiger" and focuses on the four words "being good at lie in things".
I can't copy much, and the second half is a mess of things written by myself. The words are really incomparable to the previous one, but I still successfully brought the theme of the famous article "Encouraging Learning".
When the birds are listening, they are just right there. When they hear, "Therefore, the wood is straight when it is received by the rope, and the metal is sharpened, it is profitable. A gentleman is knowledgeable and meticulous every day, and then he knows that he has no mistakes in his actions." He thought to himself: "Those who write this article should be Confucianism, but he really can't think of which Confucianism it is."
When I heard "Therefore, if I don't climb a high mountain, I don't know how high the sky is; if I don't approach the deep stream, I don't know how thick the earth is; if I don't hear the last words of the ancient kings, I don't know how great the knowledge is." Qin Huali no longer thought about which of the six Confucian schools this was, but followed me and recited the previous text.
When the sentence "Therefore, without accumulating small steps, you cannot reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small streams, you cannot form a river and sea", Bird Huali was already convinced that this article will be famous all over the world and read by everyone.
A large paragraph of metaphor is completed in one go; profound truths are common.
The Qin Hualixin said that once this article was published, just a few sentences were enough to spread among the market, not to mention the truth.
However, when he heard the change of position, his face suddenly changed.
Just like eating delicious roasted meat in front of you, even this sentence is the most plump part, but after eating this bite, the things below suddenly turned into tasteless white wax.
If it is just the latter half of the syllogism, it is actually not much different from the level of most Mohists. However, with the previous comparison of the heroic text, it becomes a bit difficult to swallow.
Qin Huali had no passion for reciting before, and showed a look of pity.
After reading all of them, some people with slightly lower cultural levels will still be immersed in it, including the principles of the second half.
Those who have high cultural level and aristocratic origins all smiled and looked at it.
Mo Zi praised first: "The world's great literary talent!"
Then he whispered: "Only the first half."
Mo Zi glanced at the strange-looking Qin Huali, and understood that Qin Huali had heard the problem, so he asked, "Li, what do you want to say?"
Qin Huali smiled and said, "Shi, Shi, you said you recited it silently after listening to it, but in fact you only said half of it. The first half was what you heard and recited it silently. The latter... was it made up by yourself, right?"
"The first half was completed in one go, and the second half was stiff, not as smooth as water, not as smooth as grease. The principle is very good, and it is very consistent with the principles of my Mohist school, but the words are really not beautiful. I am afraid that when it is spread, everyone will only recite the first half, not the second half."
Shi never said that it was what he thought, and quickly smiled and said, "I felt it myself, so I have to ask someone to modify it. The first half was occasionally obtained by Mr. Tang Han, not written by him, but by a descendant of the Zhongxing family."
Xunzi is said to be a descendant of the Zhongxing clan. The Zhongxing clan has been defeated by Han, Zhao and Wei. It is normal to escape from all over the country to hide his name. This reason is completely reasonable and it can be regarded as a bit of promoting the reputation of Xunzi, who was not yet born.
"The second half... was indeed made up by me. A gentleman is not a different nature and is good at using things. I use this to unfold it. I hope everyone can learn some knowledge that can be borrowed from things and benefit people. Therefore, the power of a tiger is no more than twice as powerful as a tiger. It is not common for a tiger to eat people, and people with a tiger's skin are often sleeping..."
He explained, and everyone's faces showed a clear look.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to copy, it’s not that he thinks his level is higher than Xunzi.
But he really couldn't copy the second half, and it was impossible to spread the thoughts of the ink master.
Although Xunzi taught two Legal figures, Han Feizi and Li Si, he belonged to Confucianism after all, and the discussion in the second half is generally based on Confucianism.
Anyone can use it in the first half, but the second half is an ideological dispute, and the ink cannot use it.
When the original text came to "Where should I start with learning?" Xunzi said that learning should start with "Shangshu", "Rites", "Music Sutra", etc. Only in this way can we achieve "majestic behavior and actions that conform to etiquette."
Then we start from here to develop issues such as respecting teachers and integrating etiquette and law.
In addition, the gentleman who was originally in the previous article was good at vaining things as the second half, focusing on how important it is to learn the knowledge of "vaining things well", starting from the bottom of the common people, agriculture, industry and commerce, and giving examples to illustrate the benefits of learning these things one by one.
In fact, the original article is the same, it starts with persuading learning and ends with persuading "what to learn".
It’s just that what I learned was changed, and the changes were not beautiful at all. I only copied the first half of the recitation when I was in school.
When people from the same origin as Qin Huali, they naturally can easily hear that this is impossible to be an article written by one person.
The first half is like gold and jade, and the second half is like grass floss.
It is so obvious that most ink people care more about the second half of the grass-like catkins.
This is the times.
The era when hundreds of schools of thought contend to make a name for themselves is enough to be famous all over the world.
But in an era of controversy among various schools, the second half is the focus.
The same is true for Xunzi's original chapter, so after the times, the first half is still passed down from ancient times, because it is about the truth that is difficult for generations, and the later issues about concepts will eventually be inappropriate, so I did not learn the second half when I was in school.
Qin Huali said: "If the second half is slightly modified, it will be a good article. However, compared with the previous heroic wonders, it is inconsistent. I cannot write such a heroic article."
He glanced at Mo Zi and said, "Sir, this article is very good. Just based on the first half, it will definitely spread to the world. If the truth in the second half can be remembered, it will be of great use to spread the meaning of the person who spreads the Mo. Please modify it yourself."
Mo Zi thought so, and smiled and said, "I am just a secretary, but I don't think that I, a giant, have to do what the secretary wants to do. I really believe now. Everything you said before is also what you are good at, and what you have learned from others."
"I thought you were just humble, but it turned out that you didn't lie... Hahaha, only the second half of the article will be revealed."
Everyone laughed, and they were also laughed. Just from the point of view of the words, I was afraid that the word "Dogtail Continuing Side" would defile the "Encouragement of Learning".
But in this era when hundreds of schools are about to contend, the second half is the top priority.
I thought to myself that if Mo Zi made a revision by himself, although it would be worse than the original article, it would definitely be better than those written by himself.
Thinking of this, he said: "If you finish the correction, you can spread all over the world. For example, digging a trap, you always need to put some food in the trap to lure the beasts you want to capture. This article can be used as a bait to spread the meaning of the ink master."
"Sir, I said half a year ago that I opened wheat flour shops and wine restaurants under the control of Mozhe in major cities, which is actually preparing for this day."
"People in Juyi, the capital may not know all the people who know the ink, but because of wheat flour, bean food, strong wine, etc., you can first hear the name of the ink."
"Then the grass and silk spread the meaning, and send a man to hold the grass and silk to recite these articles in the food shop, which will make more people spread the meaning of the man. If the more he spreads it, someone will wonder: What is the meaning of the man? "
"If you want to know, you can know. As more people know, more and more people will be the ones who make the righteousness of the people will be spread throughout the world."
"It is not necessary to start with the lecture notes, but to start with some articles, stories, and rumors that everyone likes. Using the benefits of grass and silk, people in the market can eat the articles of those who do not hear the ink for a month. When they know the taste, they will preach the morality."
"There was no such opportunity at first, but now it has come. I borrowed food shops and wine shops, and wrote them in silk and sent one or two inks to deliver them from time to time."
"They may not be willing to listen to the truth of the ink masters directly, but first use such articles, strange stories, geography, astronomy and other academics to attract them. This is something they cannot compare to us. In these strange stories, the truth of the ink masters is quietly mixed with the truth. We have grass and silk, but other families cannot compare to us."
