Live Huaxia: Opening dialogue with an emperor through the ages

Chapter 88 Studying "The Analects of Confucius", Passing on Classics

At this moment, no one spoke in the audience.

Everyone's eyes are full of fascination.

Confucius' now rickety body trembled slightly, his weather-beaten eyes couldn't help getting moist, and the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes finally stretched out, revealing a happy smile.

He laughed, and laughed heartily, as if he had never heard such a happy thing.

It's just that under the laughter, there are countless hard thinking and torture, the frustration of failing again and again, and the fear of not seeing the future in the age of sixty.

At this moment, he looked at Gao Yang with tears in his smile, and continued to ask with some nervousness and anticipation.

"Has the great unity of the world finally come true?"

Hearing this, Gao Yang hesitated for a moment in his eyes, and finally shook his head truthfully and said.

"Master, the great unity of the world has not yet been fully realized in the time when the disciple lived."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere couldn't help but fell silent.

In the eyes of all the disciples, there was more or less a trace of loneliness.

It turns out that in more than 2000 years, the great harmony of the world has not yet been achieved...

What's the point of their lifelong persistence?
Even Confucius' eyes flashed with regret for a moment, but he had already expected this in his heart.

He is very clear that it is very difficult for people to change. Even if 2000 years have passed, society will inevitably change, but human nature will not change. Only through education can people continue to recognize themselves and the world.

Perhaps the so-called Datong society is like a galaxy in the sky after all. It seems to be prosperous like a dream and within reach, but in reality it is vast and beyond reach.

But at this time, Gao Yang continued to speak loudly.

"Master, even though future generations still have not been able to achieve a Datong society, we have never given up. Although we cannot achieve it, we yearn for it!"

"Virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors, the way of a master is not alone!"

"This road to great harmony in the world will lead 14 billion Chinese people to walk with Master in the future!"

Having said this, he bowed his hands again and saluted.

"Master, this disciple is here to seek advice from Master, to learn "The Analects of Confucius", to pass on classics, and to inquire about Great Harmony!"

this moment.

It was a silent shock.

Tears glistened in Confucius' eyes, his old body seemed to be rejuvenated, he straightened his spine, and said loudly.

"Virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors, hahaha!"

"Okay, well said! My way is not alone!"

Born in this era of broken rites and music, no one paid any attention to the avenue I pursued, and many people even scoffed at it completely, thinking it was just their own whimsy.

Even he himself sometimes wonders whether the once peaceful and prosperous age will never reappear like a river that has passed away.

But now, the flame in his heart, even in his dying years, is burning even more vigorously.

As he said that, Confucius also walked up to Gao Yang, patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said in relief.

"Gao Yang, you have a great responsibility to hand down the classics for thousands of generations, thank you for your hard work."

At this time, Gao Yang felt the deep emotion in Confucius' tone. Even the teacher's expectation for the students is the elder's care for the younger generation.

He felt the tip of his nose a little sore, and his eyes were a little moist, and he cupped his hands hastily.

"Students always remember the teachings of the master."

After finishing speaking, Yan Hui's eyes were a little red, and he said to Gao Yang with a trembling tone.

"Junior Brother Gao Yang, dare to ask the future generations who have inherited the Master's teachings, what kind of scene is it like?"

His greatest ambition in this life is to inherit the knowledge of his master and carry it forward.

Even if he was starved of food, even though he was nearly dead, he still had no regrets!

Hearing this, Gao Yang looked at Yan Hui with a sincere expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As the most satisfied student of Confucius, Yan Hui died young in the end, leaving Confucius behind, leaving eternal regret.

He didn't answer Yan Hui's question directly, but turned around, pointed at the juniper tree planted by Confucius not far away, and then spoke.

"Brother Ziyuan, Huaxia's 2000 Master's Study, this juniper tree, has been seen, experienced, and felt."

Hearing this, everyone was astonished.

Confucius also looked at the juniper tree he had planted. He did not expect that this tree, which has not yet grown too tall, would survive for more than 2000 years.

At this time, Gao Yang also looked at the tree, and said without haste.

"This juniper tree experienced the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and then the Qin and Han dynasties, and withered in the Western Jin Dynasty."

"However, after three hundred and nine years, in the Sui Dynasty, new shoots grew again and continued to grow."

"In the Tang Dynasty, the tree was dying again, and it seemed to be dead, but after 370 years, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it flourished again."

Hearing this, everyone felt a tenacious fighting spirit and an irrepressible vitality.

This is the Huaxia spirit that can never be erased!
Whether it is the disciples or the countless viewers in front of the live broadcast room, they are all impressed and moved by this special juniper tree at this moment.

Perhaps, this tree did not live as long as rumored. Perhaps, the juniper that grew later was replanted by later generations.

But none of that matters.

The important thing is that the spirit of Huaxia is passed on from generation to generation.

Gao Yang is still telling the legend of this tree, and at the same time, he seems to be talking about the inheritance of Confucius's study in 2000 years.

"But later, foreign tribes invaded. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the tree was burned off its branches, leaves and trunk by the fire, but in the Yuan Dynasty, it gave out new branches."

"It can be said that this tree is the symbol of the Master's study. It withers again and again, and is reborn again and again!"

"Because its roots are immortal, and are closely connected with this land of China."

"The Chinese civilization has stood in the world for thousands of years and has survived countless tribulations. It is all because the Master has planted junipers in the hearts of people all over the world."

"As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people. Gao Yang is a future generation. I sincerely thank Mr. for the feat of opening a private school."

Having said that, Gao Yang saluted Confucius again.

As a scholar who had received national education and is now one of the disciples of the master, he has a lot of respect and gratitude to his ancestors in his heart.

this moment.

All the disciples, no matter Zilu, Yanhui, Zigong, Zaiwo, everyone was full of emotion, bowed their hands to Confucius in unison and saluted.

"The disciples should keep in mind the teachings of the master, and preach and receive karma for future generations!"

In the field, seeing this, Confucius burst into tears.

He kept nodding with a smile, and said hastily at the same time.

"Okay, okay, okay, you are all my good disciples, get up.

"Knowing for thousands of years, we should work harder to seek the Tao, and write more books and establish classics for future generations."

"One day, they will surpass our footsteps and complete the avenue in our hearts."
