Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 90 Confucianism and Taoism!
Bailu Academy, so called Bailudong Academy, is located at the south foot of Wulaofeng Peak in Lushan Mountain on the right side of the river.

"It began in Tang Dynasty, flourished in Song Dynasty, and continued in Mingqing!"

During the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi rebuilt the academy and determined the rules and purpose of the academy.

Since then, this place has been one of the core traditional sites of Neo-Confucianism, and now even here is controlled by the lineage of Xinxue, which shows that Neo-Confucianism is indeed weak at least in this period!
Facing south, Bailu Academy is a large quadrangle building with a rather elegant layout. The roofs are herringbone-shaped hard hilltops, and the Lisheng Hall and Zhuzi Temple are located in the courtyard of the pavilion.

Although the person in charge of the academy is a disciple of Xinxue, Zhu Xi is indeed a sage of Confucianism, and he is one of the very few seniors in the history of Confucianism who have reached the fourth level of semi-sacred cultivation.

After Lu Wenyu became the head of the mountain, although he severely cleaned up a group of Confucianism disciples, he never touched the Zhuzi Temple.

The science of Neo Confucianism, at least when Zhu Xi was there, was indeed very valuable.Otherwise, even Zhu Xi, who was a great Confucian at that time, would never have attracted so many followers and supporters with his personal charm alone.

It can only be said that the latecomers made deviations when elaborating and guiding the philosophy of Neo Confucianism, which led to the extreme solidification of social classes and extremely cruel social phenomena, and even the unreasonable phenomenon of forcing girls to bind their feet for hundreds of years. social behavior!
The extremely complicated and super-high moral requirements put forward by Neo-Confucianism are impossible for most people to meet, but no one is willing to expose their shortcomings, which has inevitably led to the birth of a large number of sanctimonious hypocrites among the Neo-Confucian factions!
Jia Lian always believed that this was also one of the main reasons for the collapse of the former Ming Dynasty!

……

In the tea room in the long house on the mountain of Bailu Academy, Lu Wenyu, who is over 15 years old, has a happy conversation with [-]-year-old Jia Lian.

Especially after hearing Jia Lian's critique of Confucianism, Lu Shanchang thought in his heart: As expected, he is indeed the grandson of Lao Zhang, and he is also a staunch supporter of my Xinxue!But why didn't this old man let his grandson study to nourish his spirit, but let him learn the Taoist way of refining gods?
Especially when he knew that Jia Lian had perfected his spirit and nourished his qi, Lu Shanzhang was even more heartbroken. It is really a pity that such a piece of unparalleled good material and beautiful jade was given to the Taoist school for nothing!
"Study of the heart is different. We never use the kind of moral standards that ordinary people can't meet to ask others. The kid admires Mr. Yangming's sentence the most: "Although the world is big, but if you want to do good, you have a conscience in your heart. Even ordinary people , can all be sages'!"

"Oh! How do you explain this sentence?"

"Why do you need annotations? If you want to extract the annotations word by word like annotating the Analects, wouldn't it seem that Mr. Yangming is too incompetent? We only need to have kind thoughts and conscience in our hearts. There are so many things that need annotations. "

"Hahahaha~ Good! Good boy..."

"..."

"..."

...

Lu Shan has been obsessed with learning for most of his life, and indeed his knowledge is extremely profound and his wisdom is far-reaching. If Jia Lian hadn't thrown out a few novel viewpoints from later generations from time to time, he would have been unable to chat with Mr. Lu long ago.

At this moment, taking advantage of the time when Mr. Lu was thirsty and drinking tea, Jia Lian quickly changed the subject, saying that he has now advanced to the state of refining the gods and health, and has initially possessed the power to protect himself. He has cultivated himself by reading books, and now he has fallen into a long period of slow growth in the way of refining the gods, so imagine that Mr. Lu asked for advice on the way of Confucianism, firstly, to get acquainted with other types, and secondly, if he is successful in studying, he can give it to his grandfather. a surprise.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Lu Shanchang's eyes, and he began to explain to Jia Lian.

It turns out that the so-called reading to nourish the spirit also focuses on the word "reading".Perhaps it is true as the rumors say, Confucius may have been Lao Tzu's apprentice, the initial practice methods of Confucianism and Taoism are similar, at first they all relied on reading/chanting to practice supernatural power!

The only difference is that compared with Taoism, Confucianism's entry requirements for nourishing qi are a little simpler.For thousands of years, countless great Confucian scholars have tirelessly annotated various ancient classics, not just for fame!
The scriptures and annotations written by these great Confucians and approved to be circulated are all classics that can help scholars step into the state of nourishing Qi!

It's just like the "Huangdi Tianji Jing", the scriptures and the meaning of the scriptures are only secondary.What kind of accent should be used to read these classics, at what time, and what posture should be used to shake the head and read aloud are the key points!
Of course, these demanding secret classics belong to the extremely profound inheritance of Confucianism. The sliver of righteousness enlightened and cultivated in the basic books can only be done by entering the most basic door!

Like the second son of the government of the Rongguo Mansion, he was unable to cultivate righteousness from elementary school books, and then plunged his head into the various scriptures and dogmas of the Four Books and Five Classics, and in the end he could only become a poor man. It's just a sour and rotten generation!

If you want to get in touch with the practice of Confucianism normally, the most important thing is to cultivate a trace of righteousness. This is what is meant by the so-called "reading the book a hundred times, the meaning will emerge itself"!

The difference between the Taoist school and the Confucian school is that the Taoist school is more like a group of alchemists, relying on spiritual materials and foreign objects to carry their own [God] power. It is said that the fourth level of refining gods can integrate Taoist artifacts into their bodies and achieve immortality , It’s just that whether anyone has achieved this level has always been an unknown question!

For the Confucianism school, one needs to exercise the viscera and six internal organs with a special method of reading aloud since childhood, and at the same time find a sentence of enlightenment of one's own in many elementary school classics, and cultivate a trace of righteousness.

Afterwards, a "literary gall" is condensed with the increasingly profound righteousness combined with more advanced visceral training skills, which is the realm of a bachelor.

This state can already stimulate the awe-inspiring righteousness condensed and sorted out in the gallbladder, using the classic poems passed down through the ages as spells to cast spells and the spiritual weapon of imperial envoy Confucianism!
Jia Lian thought to himself why the manifestation of this power is so similar to [Mage]...

Of course, the spirit weapon is also the result of the Confucian sages imitating the Taoist god-refining weapon, but it is more difficult to forge, and it consumes a lot of energy when activated, so it is not widely spread.

In terms of combat power, the bachelor's level can match the level of Taoist weapons and magic skills, and it is slightly higher than the martial arts acquired level.

However, it is necessary to condense the "literary courage" and break through the realm of nourishing Qi to advance to a bachelor, which requires extremely high strength in the internal organs of Confucian practitioners. This is also an important reason why Confucian scholars generally pay attention to late blooming.

Like Lin Ruhai, who realized a little bit of righteousness in his teens, but now he is nearly [-] years old, and he is not sure of the existence of concise writing, which is everywhere in the history of Confucianism.

That's why the old man Jia Daishan didn't want Jia Lian to practice Confucianism, and his grandfather Zhang Ju didn't force him either.

The reason Lu Shanzhang is helpless is because the source of the awe-inspiring aura is the combination of the [Qi] power in the human body and a small amount of [God] power. Jia Lian has already succeeded in refining the gods, how much more [God] power can he have? Is it used to cultivate Wu Haoran's righteousness?

But I don't want Jia Lian to be overjoyed, to consume the power of [Qi] and [God]?What's the matter, labor and management are on the hook! ! !
