prosperous national teacher

Mu Yan and Su Yi initially reached a cooperation intention, and after hearing that they couldn't get the second sweet potato in a short time, they were not so anxious.

It can't be done in a hurry.

Although it was originally a holiday, Mu Yan planned to play the piano, sing, dance swords, splash ink, and do things to cultivate his sentiments at home.But since they have already come, Mu Yan is too lazy to go back.

Since we are going to cooperate with Su Yi in the future, Mu Yan naturally wants to have a chat with Su Yi.

How can the gentry class in this era enhance their relationship?Naturally, it was clear talk.

What is clear talk?Clear talk means not talking about mundane things.What are vulgar things?Everything that concerns the country in which we live is a matter of profanity.

The clear talk is about Lao Zhuang Zhouyi, about metaphysics, about whether the chicken or the egg came first in the world, and about "I don't know if Zhou's dream is butterfly and butterfly, but butterfly's dream is Zhou and".

I don't understand, right?To put it simply, to find some plausible viewpoints to debate is, commonly known as nonsense.

When Mu Yan said that he wanted to have an oral conversation with Su Yi, Su Yi looked at Mu Yan in a strange way.

Mu Yan asked suspiciously: "What?"

Su Yi shook his head: "Nothing."

He thought that only those literati could talk freely, but he didn't expect Mu Yan, a general, to talk freely.But that's right, the literati and warriors at this time were not divided lightly, and most of the famous literati were also famous generals.Chatting is the hobby of the entire gentry class.

In other words, this nonsense, like Lao Zhuang's thoughts, stems from the decline of the old aristocratic class and the negative attitude towards social disappointment.

The negativity of Laozhuang and Zhuangzi is the negativity of the old nobles in the Warring States period in the face of wars and disputes, and the disintegration of the aristocratic system; the negativity of the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the history of Suyi originated from the darkness of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which made literati begin to doubt what they learned. .

During the Wei Dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism were not separated, and the talks at that time did not shy away from state affairs.Even during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, when the famous scholar Ruan Xiu was asked what was the difference between Confucianism and Taoism, he still replied "there will be no difference".

How did the plain talk develop into an "empty talk" that only talks about metaphysics?It was after the Sima clan usurped the throne, some celebrities loyal to the Cao clan were unwilling to join forces with the Sima clan, and at the same time worried about being liquidated, so they paid attention to birth.They became unrestrained and behaved strangely; when they spoke, they were babbling, pretending to be lofty, and paying attention to "don't talk about state affairs".

To put it bluntly, it's just a veiled expression of dissatisfaction in my heart while escaping from reality and the political disaster that may be imposed on me.

As for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, clear talk became more prevalent, and the reason was more simple.People from the north crossed to the south, those aristocrats fled to the north like bereaved dogs, and most of them lost their family roots.No matter in terms of political status or wealth, they are not as good as the southerners.How could these old nobles lose face in front of the southerners?Without money or power, you can only pretend to be coercive.

Talking is the airs of the old nobles, their last illusory dignity.

There is no Wei and Jin in this era, and there are still Qingtan, but Qingtan has not yet developed to the point of pure empty talk at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.The topics discussed in Qingtan include theory and current affairs.

Its development is roughly similar to that of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.It was also the dark society at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that made these fragile literati begin to doubt their lives. In addition, the Han Dynasty was the first dynasty that had been stable and prosperous for hundreds of years, and was even re-established after being overthrown by Wang Mang.It can be said that many literati still respect the Han Dynasty as orthodox.

Under this premise, some people did the same thing as the literati who were loyal to the Cao family when the Sima family usurped the throne.

Su Yi can understand these behaviors, but he can't understand why Mu Yan also likes this kind of casual talk.

Mu Yan is more inclined to be a general, and his family is upright. Could it be that he simply likes this entertainment?Or do you simply like to use it as a pretense?

But for casual talk, Su Yi, who has memorized philosophy in high school and university with black eyes, thinks he won't lose to anyone.

Su Yi smiled: "What do Master Mu want to talk about?"

The two are just strangers, so naturally they won't talk about state affairs.The form of a clear talk is that a question is raised first, and then two or more parties debate.

Mu Yan thought for a while, then pointed to a chrysanthemum that hadn't bloomed yet and said, "For the same flower, some people think it looks good, and some people think it looks ugly, so is it good-looking or ugly?"

Su Yi closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then said slowly: "When the eyes are open, the flowers are bright, and when the eyes are closed, the flowers are silent."

Su Yi's words seemed incompatible with the question, but they actually meant the same thing.Whether everything looks good or not depends on the person himself.As the saying goes, the flowers bloom when I open my eyes, and the flowers fade when I close my eyes.This is idealism.

Of course, as a good young man in the new society, Su Yi is certainly not an idealist.What he studied was historical dialectical materialism.But in ancient times, which one is better to pretend to be?Naturally, idealism is better to pretend.Lao Zhuang was originally idealist. As a Taoist priest, he naturally wanted to talk about idealism.

On the contrary, Mu Yan's argument is a materialist argument.Whether the flowers look good or not is actually an illusion.In fact, flowers grow like that.

Su Yi agrees with Mu Yan's point of view in his heart, but he still wants to refute this point of view, otherwise how can he pretend to be coercive?

"When the eyes are open, the flowers will be bright, and when the eyes are closed, the flowers will be silent" is Wang Yangming's words.The time of Wang Yangming was the time when Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was in vogue, and it was the time when Confucianism was at its most decadent.In order to refute Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, Wang Yangming put forward the viewpoint that "mind is reason".

Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism is a thing that comprehends the world, and the principles are self-explanatory, advocating learning to gain knowledge.However, Wang Yangming believes that "the former Confucians interpreted the investigation of things as the investigation of the things in the world. How can the world be obtained? It is said that every plant and tree has its own rationale, so how do we go with the classification today? How can we obtain our own sincerity?" ?” He believes that one should strengthen self-cultivation, do good and eliminate evil, and unite knowledge and action.My heart is the universe, and the investigation of things leads to conscience.

Although Wang Yangming's theory is idealistic, it is of positive significance in terms of human self-cultivation.This is also the last injection of living water for the gradually declining feudal landlord class, which not only has a huge impact on the modern history of China, but also has a huge impact on the entire East Asian culture.

Su Yi's grandfather respected Yangmingology very much, and he devoted himself to studying it after retirement.Although Su Yi felt that most of the people in the entire Su family had failed to achieve "investigation of things to impart conscience", but in order to be a good grandson who could receive a lot of preferential treatment from the family, Su Yi also studied Yangming Studies deeply.

No, actually he doesn't call it research at all, but rote memorization.You can't expect a science and technology guy to have a deep understanding of Confucianism, he just recited some views.

Now, he uses the views of Wang Yangming's scholarly scholar thousands of years later to fool the ancients, and he becomes taller in an instant.

Regardless of the schools of thought of the ancient scholars, their ultimate goal was to achieve the "three immortals" of "establishing morality", "making meritorious service", and "establishing words".Wang Yangming is a model of a scholar who has achieved the "three immortals".Whether you agree or disagree with Wang Yangming's theory, you will not ignore the righteousness in his speech.

Su Yi spoke slowly, or recited Wang Yangming's classics, in a rhythmic tone like reciting poetry.It seems that it doesn't match Mu Yan's question and answer, but it just fits the mysticism and roundabout form of Qingtan.

As the emperor's confidant of the holy family Zhenglong, Mu Yan naturally has ambitions in his heart.Gradually, Mu Yan was attracted by the words from Su Yi's mouth, and a casual conversation turned into one side talking and the other listening, and the victory and defeat needless to say.

Su Yi's mouth was dry, and he couldn't drink the cup of strange tea soup, so he summed it up hastily: "What is good? What is evil?"

Come, zoom in and harvest heads!Su Yi changed the subject and recited two passages of "The Story of Yueyang Tower".

If the husband is cloudy and rainy, his eyes are full of desolation, and he feels extremely sad.

As far as Ruochun and Jingming are concerned, when they drink wine to the wind, they will be ecstatic.

I have tried to seek the heart of ancient benevolent people, or the difference between the two, why?Not pleased, not to have compassion.

After the big move was released, the heads were successfully harvested.Mu Yan's face was already flushed, and his pretty face was even more charming.He arched his hands and bent down, and said in a very admiring tone: "Heqing admits defeat. The mountains stand still, and the scenery stops. Although I can't come, I yearn for it."

Su Yi acted modestly.

Even if Wang Yangming and Fan Zhongyan are moved out, it still can't hold you down, and even the coffin boards of the ancestors can't hold it down.
