Chapter 723: : Laying the foundation for Wanshi (Happy Chinese New Year!)

After the festival was over, Liu Yan held a banquet in the Miyagi Hall, but the process did not require much narration.

The banquet is not even finished in one day. The night of the Winter Solstice Festival is held by the emperor, and then there will be his own activities. After all, people now take the Winter Solstice Festival as a "small year", which can be regarded as one of the more important festivals. Feelings of drop-in are very common.

Since it was a festival, so many cultural people gathered in Old Chang'an, and there were frequent literary meetings, but many works were born, and many conflicts occurred.

"A lot of people who claim to be the inheritors of the philosophers and hundreds of schools have emerged?"

"Back to the king, there are similar rumors, but they have not been confirmed."

Is there still a hundred schools of thought now? Liu Yan believes there will still be. But he doesn't think there will be any inheritors, even if someone understands a certain school of the philosophers and hundreds of schools, basically it is definitely half a bucket.

We must know that Confucianism has been prosperous for too long, and has spared no effort to combat the remnants of the Zhuzi Baijia. The Baijia, which has been besieged and eliminated, has difficulty finding a student. How to find good people to pass on knowledge?

Liu Yan thought uncertainly:

"It should be opportunistic." Sang Yu said mercilessly: "The king wants to start learning, not like the Han Dynasty who dominates Confucianism."

Liu Yan originally hated Confucianism. As a figure in the new era, he learned about the virtues of Confucian students in Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. His impression of "widows keeping their feasts and Confucian students fighting for the first time" and "the water is too cold." It's too deep.

While waiting for Liu Yan to truly understand Confucianism, he learned that Song, Ming, Qing and previous Confucianism are not the same thing. After that, I also understand that people are divided into good and bad. Whether the theory is good or not depends on the practicality and people, just like It is the same whether the person who uses the knife does good or bad.

Generally speaking, Confucianism, which has digested the knowledge of many schools of thought, is good or bad in this age. Compared with rigidity, it is too biased towards metaphysics.

In fact, although Confucius founded Confucianism, the Confucianism after him has been repeatedly modified or even tampered with the original meaning. Many people think it is a "pot" without punctuation, but even with punctuation, I really want to How hard is it to misinterpret the meaning of a sentence?

Confucianism, like Legalism, is to cater to the ruler to "evolve." To some extent, Confucianism is more vigorous than Legalism. At least Confucianism would struggle a little when it was persecuted by the ruler, and even Confucianism would challenge the ruler, but the Legalism really catered to the needs of the ruler infinitely.

"The widow has never said that he doesn't respect Confucianism." Liu Yan completely ignored Sang Yu's stupid expression: "Exalting one family alone can unite the nation's thinking. Although too much doctrine can make a hundred schools of thought contend, it also messes up thinking."

Every ruler hopes to rule better under his own rule. No matter what doctrine he uses, he basically aims to achieve his own benefit. Confucianism will turn to foolish people. The "pot" should be thrown to the ruler and those Confucian scholars who cater to the ruler. It should not be completely smashed by the "pot" on Confucianism.

"But..." Sang Yu's crotch was a little bit painful, full of questions: "But isn't the big man governing the country according to law?"

Many officials in the Han country always believed that Liu Yan was going to follow the line of the Qin Empire. It was the result of Liu Yan’s emphasis on the legal system, which caused many officials to learn the knowledge of Legalism, and even began to regard themselves as disciples of the Legalism. Sang Yu is one of them.

"What a few people want is unity of thought." Liu Yan was strange, and said in wonder: "Does it conflict with the rule of law?"

Which dynasty has no laws anymore? Governing the country according to law is the real kingly way, which has long been proved by modern times.

"Rule the country according to law..." Sang Yu had too many questions and hesitated: "Confucianism uses literature to chaos law, and chivalry uses martial arts to commit bans. How to respect Confucianism, how can the law be solemn?"

"The widow didn't say to respect Confucianism." Liu Yan was a headache when he was asked. He is not good at this, or he could just come up with a theory of his own. He looked at the people who were stunned, and said: "If the widows have a unified mind! Confucianism can do what the widows want, how to respect Confucianism, how to respect the Dharma, how the doctrine can do it, and the widows respect it!"

The ministers did not dare to despise. They are different from Liu Yan who has traveled from later generations. The concept is that once the king likes a doctrine, that doctrine will inevitably become a prominent doctrine, and those who learn that doctrine are naturally more likely to be favored. When encountering some domineering doctrines, they will also take advantage of the situation to force those who learn other doctrines to have no way to survive, otherwise the court will be full of Confucian scholars after the domineering Confucianism.

"Maintaining the stability of the country requires legalists, developing national power requires miscellaneous families, defending the country and conquering foreign warfare requires military personnel..." Liu Yan cited quite a few examples and reluctantly said: "Can't we integrate them?"

Modern people, who is not a pragmatist? No matter what theory it is, good theory can be used. Furthermore, a party allows many factions within it, but a single doctrine is not allowed to have many branches?

The person who first understood it was Ji Chang. He was excited first, and then embarrassed: "Confucianism has digested many scholars and schools of thought. It has long been not pure Confucianism, but...it is named after Confucianism, and there are many schools of thought, contending with a hundred schools of thought. Is there a difference?"

"If you are a widow, just make it clear." Liu Yan began to feel a little impatient: "No matter which theory it is, it is the school of all summers. Can it be collectively referred to as "Xia Xue" or "Sinology"? ."

Later academic circles believed that the Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty of the descendants of the Xia Dynasty. It was once difficult to find a strong proof, so that Western countries believed that there was no "Xia" dynasty at all. Later, it was discovered from the archeology of oracle bone inscriptions. The most direct proof of the existence of the Xia Dynasty is that there are records of the Xia Dynasty on the tripod unearthed in the Shang Dynasty.

Ji Chang met Sang Yu in an instant, and they had fully understood that the king of his family was simply ambitious and wanted to combine all theories including Confucianism for the use of Han, even "Xia Shuo". All the titles that force the grid to be higher than the sky are used.

Liu Yan's thoughts are still very straightforward. Later celestial dynasties have been emphasizing "Chinese culture". No matter what the purpose is at the beginning, it is to standardize and collectively name the cultures of various dynasties and generations. This approach is of course correct. First of all, it is part of "Chinese culture." Then there is no need to argue about which region it comes from, and internal disputes are unnecessary.

The ancients liked to engage in cultural dominance, and it is not too terrible for people of different schools to pinch each other. They will fight so fiercely, because their respective differences are too obvious, causing no one to accept each other, then basically treat them as branches of the same culture. They all belong to the extension of a certain main culture, and if you try to fight it again, you can't get through with the authorities.

"'Xiaxue' is a good name." Ran Min seized the opportunity to say aloud, "I feel grandiose after listening."

The reason why it is called "Zhu Xia" is not only because the Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty, but also because they all came from the same ethnic group. Zhu Xia was said to be because of the different culture and values ​​of subsequent development. The word "Xia" itself represents the source. Combining all the doctrines and then calling it "Xia Xue", whoever opposes is a traitor who betrayed his ancestors and does not regard himself as a member of Zhu Xia.

“General Hussein’s words are extremely true.” Ji Chang was still a little worried just now. If Liu Yan decides that the title of “Sinology”, it can basically only represent contemporary times: “No one dares to call “Xia Xue”. Dissatisfied."

A big event was confirmed so hastily. Regardless of whether the participants recognized the importance of it or not, they were both excited and excited anyway.

"No one dares not to accept it." Liu Yan is also very happy. Some of the shortcomings is that the current call of "Chinese culture" will basically not be recognized, or it is more in line with his wishes. He began to assign tasks in the tone of giving orders: "During the young years, those scholars were very busy, so let them stop arguing."

The people who belonged to the civil service system stood up and saluteed. They would use different methods to disclose today’s decision. It would be okay for those cultural people to accept it calmly. If they didn’t accept it, they would also use various methods to make others. The guys who disagree accept or evaporate.

Everyone left from Liu Yan and left the palace gate Jichang to stand still.

I don’t know if I forgot or deliberately. Just now Liu Yan did not designate who is the leader. Ji Chang knows very well that although he is the prime minister, he is a natural leader, but some Jiuqing including Sang Yu and Lu Yi are not so safe. share.

A country’s determination of culture is not a trivial matter, and anyone who implements it can benefit from it. Sang Yu considers himself the leader of the northern faction, and Lu Yi is forced to become the leader of the southern faction. Even if they don’t want to fight, they will be forced by their followers in the future. While arguing, Ji Chang stopped just to have a frank talk with the two of them.

"Taian, Yu knows a beautiful place." Sang Yu obviously knew why Ji Chang would stand still, and said with a smile, "Go together?"

Lu Yi was not at all polite, and continued the topic: "Go with it."

Ji Chang nodded blankly, and what he didn't expect was that Ran Min pulled Xu Zheng over, screaming for a piece of it.

"Some is not troublesome." Ran Min said directly: "Xia Xue naturally also includes military science, how can you be able to wait for the full representative of literati?"

Xu Zheng was very helpless at first, and immediately reacted when Ran Min said that, and nodded solemnly to indicate that he must go.

Sangyu wished the water would be more muddy, and smiled to help.

The so-called beautiful place is not in the city. It is near Lishan in the southwest of the Old Great Wall. This place was originally part of Shanglin Garden. It is rumored that the first emperor Qinling was located. No one really found the first emperor Qinling for hundreds of years. It's just where.

Since it is the winter solstice, the weather is naturally not warm enough. It is because of climate change that there is no snow today, but to be honest, it is very freezing.

"Something went wrong, I chose such a remote location." Ran Min was not afraid of the cold, but simply felt that the surrounding scenery was not beautiful at all: "Everything is withered at a glance, where is it beautiful?"

Sang Yu heard it but didn't hear it, and the others were smiling wryly.

By the way, the last piece was not only the agreed-upon people, but the three public and nine officials, and even the generals at the character level were also notified by Ji Chang.

An entourage was setting up a shed, and a maid was preparing for a banquet, which made this place where no one has been there for many years suddenly became more popular.

"The first emperor swept the eight wildernesses, so that all the summers were unified again, and the merits in the present age will benefit the future." This is what Ji Chang said is also repeatedly denied by Confucian scholars. After he finished speaking, he looked at the people and waited for a while before continuing to say: "All summers are one, and the unification theory cannot be abandoned. I will stand by the rumored place of the first emperor Qinling, do you have any ideas?"

Even if the people present no longer have any sense of existence, they are all high-ranking officials and important ministers, and they are all contemporary vested interests. Defending the country is tantamount to defending themselves. Some people understand the meaning of Ji Chang’s words. Some people really didn't understand it.

"The first emperor is more than sweeping the wasteland." Sang Yu said with a smile: "There are more cars on the same track, the same text, and the same wheel."

Even people who have never read history books basically know those who can scold the First Emperor for cruelty, but he can never deny the contribution of the First Emperor to Zhu Xia. Otherwise, it is hard to say that Zhu Xia is still not one.

"The first emperor did not unify his thoughts." This is what Ji Chang wanted to say. He glanced at everyone again, and said solemnly: "Today is to make up for this lack, but also to gather the studies of the summer. You know, what a great cause is this?"

The unification of thought was done by Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, and it was done very well, but it didn't last long, and it supported the monster of Confucianism.

Contemporary people will not say what is bad about Confucianism~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is a matter of some people that it is really bad, and it has nothing to do with doctrine.

Then, contemporary Confucianism has not yet moved towards studying how to fool the people, but has been made by the mainstream to study metaphysics.

Ran Min is not a mindless person, but he really doesn't like to be around. He didn't feel embarrassed at all to say: "What the prime minister wants to say, it's too mysterious for Min to understand!"

In an instant, Xu Zheng hurriedly moved a few steps to the side, ashamed to stand side by side with Ran Min.

"..." Ji Chang felt that he was speaking very seriously, and he didn't figure out whether Ran Min was deliberate or gagging. He gave Ran Min a depressed look, and simply spread out: "If this matter is really done, I will not only be the founder of the country, but also stay with the words."

"It is so!" Sang Yu agreed with this point, whether it should be or should be contested, and said: "The reason is an unprecedented great cause, and it cannot be overstated. Yu privately thinks that the southern doctrine is too unhealthy... …"

Lu Yi didn't care about being polite at all, so he yelled, "The ambassador doctor stay!"
