Chapter 63 Know micro
Unexpectedly, when he came up to ask questions, Liang Feng couldn’t help but be surprised. Faced with such a genuine Confucianist, he couldn’t answer that it was the feudal ruling class’s policy of fooling the people, right? Fortunately, the original owner has read books, and there is still some dry stuff in his belly. In addition, there are a lot of history books these days. After hesitating for a moment, Liang Feng replied: “Small words are righteous, don’t make judgments.”
This is also the answer that best fits this era. “Book of Rites·Xue Ji” says: “One year, look at the Scriptures to distinguish the will.” That is to say, in the first year of reading, you must learn to divide chapters and sentences, and to distinguish the interests and intentions. This is the only way for all ancient scholars to understand the profound meaning of the scriptures through the teaching of teachers and self-study.
But Shengxue has no sentence. Under such circumstances, Confucian scholars must analyze the chapters and sentences and distinguish the meaning of the saints according to their own understanding and speculation, so as to derive countless succinct annotations and form different schools. The way of interpretation is different because of different teachers. Who can break through the words of many families, explain the meaning of the sage alone, and spread it all over the world? Therefore, the Confucian classics handed down to the world must be “white text” without punctuation. And true scholars don’t just read the words of a family, they often need to read the books and watch the comments of countless predecessors before they can continue to learn first and innovate.
Liang Feng consciously answered that there should be no flaws. However, the old man in front of him still looked the same, and asked: “Why do you want to return the carved plate of “Mourning Clothes”?”
What does this have to do with the previous question? But Liang Feng didn’t hesitate, and immediately said: “This is the hard work of the old man, and the kid is afraid to be expert.”
“Why is there another sentence in “New Treatise on Febrile Diseases”?” The third question followed.
“This is not a sage’s words. It is not for the benefit of the world, but only for the living.” When the “New Treatise on Febrile Diseases” was broken up, Liang Feng thought up the answer, and naturally answered it simply.
“The book of the living can be spread to the world, what about the words of the world?” The old man looked straight at Liang Feng, his eyes looked like ice, without any waves.
What does it mean? After thinking about several questions before and after, Liang Feng suddenly burst into a cold sweat behind his back, bowing his head and said: “Small engraving skills, the kid dare not talk about the saint’s words.”
Where is this asking the question? It’s clearly a warning! Only at this moment did Liang Feng understand, what did Cui You want to say?
In this era without imperial examinations, knowledge is in the hands of a very small number of people, especially the sage-king way of governing the country. Every family and every faction has its own orthodoxy, and the dispute between “modern text” and “ancient text” has just fallen into the dust. At this time, the intervention of woodblock printing may completely become the fuse.
If someone asks him to print his doctrine, does he print it or not? Not to mention that it is a commentary, even if the analysis of ordinary chapters and sentences, I am afraid that it cannot be touched without authorization. From joining faction disputes, at worst, it touched the upper-level ruler’s rebellious scales. This kind of ideological issue, let alone a white pavilion, dare not act rashly even if he is the court.
This is probably the real reason why the technique of engraving and printing is so simple, but it will not be able to develop by leaps and bounds until the Song and Ming Dynasties. Without interruption, it separates the distance between ordinary people and knowledge, making it impossible for people to study the history without a teacher. So add sentence breaks? Have an official answer? Isn’t it another way to control thinking and unify ideology? The Way of the Holy King is never simple, because it is not simply a learning to teach people knowledge, but a program and theory for ruling the country!
Seeing Liang Feng leaning over to admit his mistake, the old man’s eyelids slightly twitched: “Are you still going to print “New Treatise on Febrile Diseases”?”
He didn’t even ask the “Diamond Sutra”, he seemed to have seen through that little trick a long time ago. Liang Feng gritted his teeth: “Books can live!”
Yes, printing books may put him in danger. But if it is not printed, the money and food will be reduced by a lot, and his promise to the doctor Jiang will naturally not be realized. Not to mention the lives that this book might save! Of course he has to print it!
The old man snorted slightly, then lowered his eyes. However, at this time, how can Liang Feng dare to move the first half. In front of this dying old man, he was almost stripped. That little thought, there is no way to hide!
After a long time, the old man spoke again: “Where did you go to school?”
“Fan Yang Lu’s.” Liang Feng replied respectfully. Fan Yang Lu’s family is well-known in the world, and the original owner also learned from the relationship. However, his aptitude and health were not very good. After only one year of study, he replied back home.
“Which one is the Spring and Autumn Three Biography?” the old man continued to ask.
“The kid is ashamed, and his knowledge is not good.” This is not a time to brag, Liang Feng said, when it comes to classics, he really can’t catch up with the man in front of him.
The old man let out a long muffled voice: “Do you still have a baby in your family?”
“There is a son who is five years old.” Liang Feng said.
The old man nodded: “If you are interested, send him to Cuifu to study next year.”
This is even more dizzy than those questions just now. Why did you suddenly want to accept Liang Rong as a disciple? This kind of Confucian classics family is the most torturous, generally accepting disciples not only depends on the relationship, but also depends on the talent and perseverance of the students. After all, it’s about one’s own brand and even the inheritance of knowledge, and no one will neglect it. And whether or not you can worship a famous teacher is more related to the future and destiny of a scholar. If there is such a big scholar who is willing to nod, I don’t know how many people will follow him.
Liang Feng hesitated for a while before he replied: “The kid is dull, fortunately the old man’s favor. But my son is still young, and I’m afraid that he won’t be able to enter school until he is six years old.”
This can be understood as a postponement of one year in order to enter school, and it can also be understood as a decline in invitation.
The old man raised his lips slightly: “It’s okay, one year is enough to make a decision.”
This statement also has two meanings, either as understanding the child’s aptitude after one year, or as giving him a year of consideration before making a final conclusion. However, it is inseparable from its ancestry, as long as Liang Fengken, the child Cui family will accept it.
The old guy said what he said, what else could Liang Feng say, so he had to laugh: “Thank you very much, Mr. Cui, for your kindness.”
It seems that the words that should be asked have been asked, and the old man’s eyes drooped slightly, revealing that tired look again. Liang Feng obediently, after giving a gentle salute, he withdrew from the study. Cui Liang was still guarding outside, and when he saw him coming out, he greeted him with a smile; “It seems that the family ancestor appreciates Zixi very much. No one has been here for so long.
To this, Liang Feng really didn’t know how to answer. It is also an instruction and apprenticeship, which is really an extraordinary “appreciation.” Although dealing with this kind of old and sophisticated guy is very laborious, I have to say that it also gave Liang Feng a lot of reminder. It seems that it is better to be more careful about printing books. After all, he lacks the strength right now, so he rashly makes a great leap forward, fearing that he will break his leg. Alas, in this troubled world, the power at hand is the root.
On the other side, a person walked around from the room behind him. His appearance was similar to Cui Liang, but he was older. Respectfully kneeling before the book case, he asked: “Why did the big father accept the youngest son of the Liang family?”
He had been listening behind before, and he would inevitably have some doubts in his heart. If his grandfather is really optimistic about this Liang Zixi, he can just accept him directly. Why bother to accept his youngest son?
“He doesn’t care about Confucian classics. But his son needs some education.” The old man said slowly.
The man’s expression immediately became awe-inspiring: “My father thinks, that Liang Zixi is talented?”
Over the years, he was the only one who had discussed the current situation with his grandfather. Only he knew that grandfather had already seen that this world was about to be in chaos. After three dynasties, he is more than a hundred years old. Although the old man is in the bookstore, he has a keen mind and is better than that. Now, he is optimistic about such a weak and tender young man, how can he not be surprised!
The old man nodded slightly: “He has ambitions in his chest and has the world in his heart. This son is far better than Yuanhai.”
The man’s expression became more solemn. Liu Yuan was the proud disciple of his grandfather, but he was also heartbroken. He taught Liu Yuanhai so well. This son is talented, he is a raw jade, and after careful consideration, if he meets Mingjun, he will be a good talent. It is a pity that the Sima clan is perverse and has no morals to persuade others. Treating a foreign race is like training a fierce horse with an iron whip. Sooner or later, there will be troubles.
In the governance of the world, there are many different kinds of Tianzong. What if it is a troubled world?
But now, there is another Liang Zixi. The four words “with the world in mind” are much more important than other judgments. Grandfather thinks that this son is a mainstay. Not only does he want to help him, but he also wants the Cui family to board the new boat together. This is a major event related to the rise and fall of the same vein!
After a long silence, the man said, “There is still another year.”
Yes, there is one more year. Whether it’s for Liang Feng, it’s also for Cui’s. The old man slowly nodded and closed his eyes.
※
After stopping at Cui’s house for only two days, Liang Feng went home. This time, there is a rush of coming and going, not many people know about it. But there are always some good people who like to inquire about others’ privates.
In the flower pavilion, there are many golden tents, and the day is warm like spring. Several ladies were sitting around drinking tea, watching the bleak winter scenery outside the pavilion.
“In a few days, I am afraid it will snow. I don’t know if the snow scene this winter will be touching?” One of the ladies chuckled and dialed the Yaoqin.
“Ayao only loves Yajing, but I’m a vulgar thing.” Another woman smiled, “It is said that Liang Jia Langjun is handsome and beautiful. Why is Ashu hidden and unwilling to let us see the previous one. see?”
Liang Shu stopped slightly when he heard the words, put down the tea cup in his hand, and smiled: “I may not have seen that nephew for a long time, why did Alan say this?”
Li Lan pretended to be surprised and covered her lips with Pa: “What? When Liang Langjun came to the county town, didn’t he even visit your aunt?”
Liang Feng came to the county town? When? ! Liang Shu only felt like knocking over a pot of hot coals in his heart, and immediately scorched. But her complexion did not change, she said lightly: “Xu has something to do, and he hurried back. He is too weak to go out easily.”
“So that’s it!” Li Lan smiled and didn’t say much, turning to urge the person next to him, “A Yao, quickly play another song!”
The melodious music resumed, but Liang Shu couldn’t listen anymore. Husband’s sister has always been at odds with her. No wonder she was invited to a banquet and tea today because it turned out to be just for a good show! When did Liang Feng arrive at the county town? ! He really dared to ignore it, just bypassing his aunt? !
However, no matter how shameful and angry she was, she did not dare to show it. As for the past six months, Liang Feng has already gained fame and changed his appearance. What Buddha dreamed, passed the scriptures to stop the epidemic, and even sold scriptures! Piece by piece, all unheard of. Now that diseased rice seedling has become a guest of Taiyuan Wang’s family, and he is very famous. And the fact that her family Langer was expelled from the Sushui Pavilion has become one of the interesting talks.
The person talking is naturally enthusiastic, but what about the person who becomes a laughingstock? Because of this, not only Li Lang but also Li Mansion was stigmatized. Husband ridiculed her every day, Liang Shu almost burst his lungs out of breath. Had it not been for the foresight to send Lang’er to Yecheng, I still don’t know what it looks like now!
But even so, Liang Shu was still helpless with that hateful nephew. A few months ago, Qingyang Village was suppressed, and she did not sleep peacefully for several days. One is for fear that something will fall into Liang Feng’s hands, and the other is to be shocked by the strength of Liang’s mansion. Such a prestigious and powerful nephew makes people restless. How could an originally weak and stupid kid suddenly seem to have become a person?
Since October, Luoyang’s anxious wars have made her feel uneasy. She has put a heavy treasure on the Chengdu King, and if the Chengdu King loses, Lang’er will have no bright future. In any case, the army must win Luoyang!
Long Koodan fell into his palm, Liang Shu turned her head calmly and looked towards the far east.
