sweeping the world

Chapter 887

""Book of Songs", "Book of History", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes"..." Wang Meng looked at Julian with a friendly face, and warmly recommended: "Especially "Book of Rites", I strongly recommend you to buy more."

Julian is blinking. He can speak Chinese, but it doesn't mean he can understand all Chinese characters.He wants to buy books that can learn practical knowledge, but he really can't list a title.

In fact, let alone Julian, even a well-educated scholar is not sure that he can understand all Chinese characters.

"Etiquette is the foundation of human beings, and it is also the fundamental difference between civilization and barbarism." Wang Meng said very sincerely: "The strength of the great man is based on knowing the etiquette. This is also the biggest difference between the Xias and the barbarians."

Julian thought about it and felt that what Wang Meng said was right.

Isn't the difference between Rome and the surrounding barbarians also based on the civilization system?He already knew from Wang Meng that the system foundation of the Han people was established within the norms of the "Book of Rites".

"The "Book of Songs" can be regarded as the history of Zhuxia, and every poem in it is the history of our ancestors." Wang Meng held a "Book of Songs" in his hand and turned to "Xiaoya. Out of the Car" On the page, read slowly: "I get out of my car and shepherd him. From what the emperor said, I am coming. Calling the servant is called carrying. The king's affairs are so difficult, and it is difficult to maintain."

Julian is also able to speak vernacular Chinese. When it comes to classical Chinese, he can understand each word by taking it apart, but he can't understand it when he connects it all.

"This poem eulogizes the victories of King Zhou Xuan's crusade against Xun Yun in the early years, enthusiastically praises the illustrious military exploits of Commander Nan Zhong, and shows the confidence of Zhongxing monarchs and ministers in making contributions." Wang Meng took a deep breath and said very seriously: "That's part of Zhu Xia's history!"

Julian continued to blink, thought for a while and felt that Wang Meng's words made sense again. To understand a powerful country, one must always interpret its history to find out what kind of changes this powerful country has undergone to become stronger step by step.

"Let's talk about this "Shangshu" again." Wang Meng changed the book in his hand, and said very seriously: "In the history of Zhuxia, it has always revolved around the core idea of ​​'respecting the king and fighting the barbarians'."

Julian asked anxiously: "What does it mean to respect the king and fight against the barbarians?"

"It is to unite with the king, respect and love the king, love the king, obey the order of the king, and fight against foreign enemies most resolutely!" The one Wang Meng said was sonorous and forceful. He raised his arms and clenched his fists to increase his persuasiveness: "Records the proclamations of the ancient kings of the Xia Dynasty, as well as the advice of the ministers to the king, I strongly recommend that you study it carefully."

Needless to say, as long as there is a real idea of ​​uniting with the king, Julian feels that the reading of the "Book of History" should be fully promoted in Rome, so as to learn how the Han people love, love and obey the king.Once the idea of ​​obeying the king becomes the mainstream, there should be no civil strife in the country, right?

Well, the reason why Zhuxia has been changing dynasties is because the "Shangshu" has not been promoted?

"The other book "Book of Changes" is also a must-read!" The book in Wang Meng's hand was naturally replaced with "Book of Changes", and he was turned to the page with pictures: "Learn it hard and apply it, you will be with me The existence of the gods and ghosts shortens the distance, and you can use the knowledge you have learned to divination fate!"

"Ah!!?" ​​Julian quickly moved his head to the opened "Zhouyi" book, and what he saw was a very complicated pattern with densely packed characters in the pattern: "It's really possible to do that! ?”

Wang Meng nodded very positively: "The "Jing" and "Zhuan" are combined in it. The "Jing" mainly contains 64 hexagrams and 380 four lines. The hexagrams and lines have their own explanations (the hexagrams and the lines), which are used for divination. "

Of course Julian knew about divination. When Rome mainly believed in the Olympian pantheon, there were many divination activities. Waiting for the rise of Christianity, divination was weakened and replaced with other modes, such as meditation and communication.

Not only Rome, it should be said that any race that forms a group in the world, no matter how small a tribe has a dedicated clergyman, there must be business related to divination.

"This..." Julian wanted to snatch the "Book of Changes" from Wang Meng's hand, staring at the "Book of Changes" tightly, and asked casually: "Will your country perform divination before going out?"

"Of course it will!" Wang Meng gave an affirmative answer: "Since ancient times in Zhuxia, divination has been required for any major national event, and going to war is a necessary ceremony."

Absolutely not lying, it’s just that in ancient times, they paid more attention to it, but the later it became, the less they cared about it, and even artificially interfered with the divination process. Good or bad, it's serious to inspire people's morale.

Julian thinks there is no need for Wang Meng to lie about such a matter.

After all, they can check the results later.

Wang Meng would not recommend books such as "University", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Gewu", etc. Even recommending the above books would have certain risks.

After all, those recommendations made by Wang Meng are really not nonsense. For example, if the knowledge of "Shangshu" and "Book of Rites" is really used well, it can achieve the goal of strengthening the country.

It's just... um!Learn those words, and wait for the thoughts and values ​​to gradually become Sinicized.

"Recently, the Son of Heaven is creating creations." Wang Meng only heard some rumors, but he was able to speak out: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, but habits are far away." After reading a paragraph, he said with emotion: "Speak out Understand the principle of the great way, right?"

It's the Three Character Classic!

The problem is that Liu Yan only knows a little bit of the front, and he really can't compare with those time-traveling counterparts. He can't remember the full text of the "Three Character Classics", so he gave a general core idea and asked Dr. Chaozhong to complete and perfect it.

It is conceivable that in this version of "Three Character Classics", apart from Liu Yan's reading of the beginning, "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. The nature is similar, but the habits are far away." After that, the content must be different.

"When a person is born..." Julian was a little dazed. He really wanted to say that the moment a person is born is a blank slate, there is no distinction between good and evil, and all kinds of character are acquired during the process of growth. environment, but he knew that he could not refute it, so he said against his will: "People are born to be kind..."

That's right, "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, habit is far away." It means that people are good when they are born, but because of the different learning environment in the process of growing up, the temperament will be good or bad. difference.

It just weakens the fact that babies have no sense of right and wrong.

Wang Meng doesn't need to worry too much, all he needs is to recommend some Chinese patches to contribute to the harmony of the world.
