Chapter 8 Confronting Elder Dong?Hurry up
Dong Lao is very angry now, because someone wants to hit his eating guy.

And this person is Huo Guang.

Although the book "Gongyang Chunqiu" is not written by Dong Lao, it is also a book that he has explained all his life.Everyone, including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had heard him explain the contents of the book, and no one had refuted it.

it's good now.

How dare a naughty boy who doesn't understand anything call this book a mystery?
How can you blow your beard and stare in anger!

Huo Guang looked at Elder Dong's whole body trembling with anger. He was afraid of making the old man very angry, so he had no choice but to explain: "Don't be angry, if you talk wildly or not, why don't you listen to me first!"

Elder Dong was in a fit of anger, but he still had some self-cultivation, so he said immediately: "Okay, let's listen to your high-spirited talk first, and see if I can wash my ears!"

just now.

Everyone in the room turned their eyes to Huo Guang, including Dong Xun, who had no interest in him at first, was also watching.

At this time.

Huo Guang put on a show, straightened his clothes, and coughed twice as if he cleared his throat.

Dong Laoben on the side got angry. Seeing him like this, he immediately knocked on the table with a ruler and said, "If you want to say it, hurry up and stop putting on a show like this old man."

"Teacher, I know you are in a hurry!" Huo Guang smiled slightly and continued: "But please don't worry, just listen to me slowly!"

The title of teacher actually existed before the Han Dynasty.

At first, it refers to old and senior scholars or people who teach academics. For example, "Biography of Mencius and Xunqing" contains the sentence "When King Xiang of Qi was king, Xunqing was the teacher".

So it is not wrong for Huo Guang to call Dong Zhongshu his teacher.

of course.

In terms of Confucianism, these great Confucianists should like others to call them masters the most. After all, it originated from the respectful title of Confucius from the descendants of Confucianism.

At this time, Teacher Dong frowned very tightly!

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Huo Guang quickly made a sophistry, saying: "Teacher, you just talked about the unification theory in "Gongyang Chunqiu", focusing on the first record in another book "Spring and Autumn" "Yuannian, spring, king The first month' this sentence."

"I also said that the first year is the first year of the monarch, and it is also the beginning of the new dynasty's radiant life."

"Because the first month is also the beginning of a year, becoming a king on this day means "unification", which means that everything is unified with the king, that is, great unity."

Mr. Dong stroked his beard, and after hearing this, he thought for a while, thinking that what Huo Guang said was basically the same as part of what he said before, so there was no problem, so he nodded and said: "Yes. So I understand, what's the problem?"

What's the problem?
That's a big problem!

Seeing Elder Dong nodded, Huo Guang showed a sly look in his eyes, and said, "Teacher, that's wrong, you are deceiving me!"

"When did the old man cheat you?" Elder Dong had a puzzled expression, a little confused.

Huo Guang said slowly at this time: "Aren't you cheating? You said before that the first month is the beginning of a year, but according to the calculation of the big man, the first month can be Meng Dong October, November, December, Meng Chun January. But in this case, how can it be called a grand unification at the beginning of the new year when the exact month of the first lunar month is clearly uncertain?"

"If you don't know the month and become king in the first month, you can say it's a great unification!"

"Then if I am a big man in the future to determine the calendar and only count January as the first month, what is the so-called unification? In this way, is it also negating the unification theory of "Gongyang Spring and Autumn" that you talked about, teacher?"

After saying these words, Elder Dong suddenly became more angry, and regardless of his image, he directly cursed: "Nonsense, if the calendar determines the first month and the month, then the year is long, and it will not be out of touch with the four seasons? Since before the Qin calendar, there was the Yellow Emperor calendar, Zhuanxu calendar, Xia calendar, Yin calendar, Zhou calendar, Lu calendar and so on."

"The most important difference between them is that the starting point of the new year is different every year!"

"Only in this way can we be sure that Meng Dong and his wife will conceive a child in October, and the child will be born around mid-autumn and August next year, so that the population can prosper. How can you understand the wisdom of the sages, a child with a yellow mouth."

Eh.
Huo Guang couldn't help but sighed deeply at Elder Dong's words.

Arguing with the ancients is really tiring.

Even if he is a great Confucian of this era, he is the most insightful and knowledgeable person in this dynasty.

no way.

The time gap is too great.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang stopped arguing with Mr. Dong, and immediately said: "Let's be a kid, I'm talking nonsense, then you also explained the theory of Wang Ming in "Gongyang Chunqiu", don't you think there is a problem?"

When Elder Dong heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he said, "What's the problem?"

"There is a problem!" Huo Guang shrugged, and said calmly: "The so-called king's destiny theory in "Gongyang Chunqiu" is based on the evidence found in another book "Spring and Autumn". What's the saying, "If there is a king, there will be, but if there is no king, there will be no" and so on."

"I'm not discussing whether this unicorn is authentic or not. The point is, the evidence of the theory of king's destiny in his book actually comes from a fabricated beast in another book?"

"Isn't this ridiculous?"

"If I were to write a book and make up things that don't exist, call them God, angels, whatever."

"Could it be possible that future generations will write another book and use the description in my book as an argument to prove that these things I fabricated are true?"

What Huo Guang said in this long paragraph was hearty and hearty, and he didn't give Mr. Dong a chance to interrupt at all.

After Dong Lao listened.

He was even more furious, and scolded: "The Spring and Autumn Annals was written by Confucius, so it is natural to quote the scriptures. How can you compare with the saints?"

"My book records that Duke Ai of Lu hunted a unicorn in the 14th year. This means that the heavens gave a message that a king appeared! In the same way, I cut the white snake to the ancestor, which is exactly in line with this."

"These are enough to explain the theory of Wang Ming, and there is no problem."

After listening to Elder Dong's explanation, Huo Guang didn't refute, but was relieved all of a sudden.

No wonder the content of this "Gongyang Chunqiu" is obviously very absurd and far-fetched, but it became popular in the Han Dynasty. It turned out that it was all because of the ruler's political needs!

Huo Guang nodded immediately and said, "Oh, teacher, if you say that, then I can understand."

When Mr. Dong heard this sentence, he thought he really understood.

Immediately!

There was a little smile on his face, and he said with some relief: "Well, it's fine if you can understand. Although you are stubborn, you still have some wisdom"

"No, no, teacher, I haven't finished yet!" Huo Guang immediately interrupted Mr. Dong and said, "I can understand, but it doesn't mean I agree with it. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely write a book to discuss it." A refutation of these grotesque arguments in "The Ram."

As soon as these words came out, even Dong Lao was so old that he was speechless.

He also wrote a book to refute the ram?
What hubris!

So he shook his head, pointed at Huo Guang and cursed: "You son of a bitch, you won't change what you say, you're ignorant, you're ignorant!"

"Since you don't want to listen, don't come here to listen!"

"Get out, old man!"

talking.

Elder Dong was about to raise his ruler to beat Huo Guang out.

Huo Guang thought to himself, he has been a human being in two lives, and his parents have never beaten him, so how could he be beaten by this old master.

Immediately, he hid in the past and shouted: "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, I will go!"
