Dress to be a celebrity

A total of more than 140 candidates and students participated in the conference, and [-] people asked questions about "preserving the principles of nature and getting rid of human desires".Song Shi still remembered who raised their hands just now, and compared it with the ones who raised their hands now, there were a lot of people in the middle.

It's a pity that he is not a real teacher, but a host, otherwise he would have to ask those who have never raised their hands to come up.

But as a host, it’s not just to ask the scumbags to come up to show their eyes, but to fulfill the desire of the guests to perform—the ones who sneaked out quietly will not be called, and the ones who are half-stretched and about to be raised first will be called. Bar.

Before calling people, the host Song Xiaoshe still reminded with conscience: "In this conference, all the speeches on the stage have been recorded by the students of Linquan Club who participated in the sponsorship, and will be reproduced as "Fujian Lecture Society Quotations" afterwards. , Whether to appear on the stage, everyone should think carefully."

He originally thought that he said this to persuade him to quit, but unexpectedly, just after he said that he would print "Quotations", the number of people who raised their hands in the audience increased by [-]%, and all of them stared at the stage with blue eyes, arms high. It's almost plugged into the awning on the top.

Cut out this picture to make a movie, that is "I want to be famous".

Can't get used to this problem!

Song Shi didn't even look at those people who didn't admit that they didn't understand, and raised their hands in order to be famous for their meeting minutes. He still picked four honest people who had raised their hands before:

"Please invite friends on the west side of the second row to come on stage, wearing shirts with blue and square silk patterns, folded upper towels, and yellow roses on the sideburns."

"A friend in the middle of the fifth row who wears a dark green straight body and a Dongpo scarf is invited to come on stage."

……

Although these four people did not understand the "laws of nature and human desires", they were full of energy and upright after taking the stage, and they were more powerful than the previous few who could answer questions and come up to answer questions.After meeting with the judges, teachers and the host on stage, I sat in the row of four on the left with my chest up and back.

Many people in the audience coughed and sighed, hating that their hands were not long enough, and their bodies were not raised when they raised them, so they were not selected.

Song Shi walked to the center of the stage, and winked at the patrol guards below, and the guards beat the cloud boards, gongs and drums to call the audience's attention.When most of the audience calmed down and looked at the stage, he straightened his clothes, straightened his face, and introduced affectionately: "Although Song is from the north, since he was young, he has been studying with his teacher Huan Yushi Shufa, and he has known Zhu Zi for many years. Come to give lectures in Fujian, pass down the orthodoxy of Fujian, and the authentic Confucianism is in Fujian, among the gentlemen on and off my stage."

In fact, it should be said to be in the north of Fujian, but the audience can be from any prefecture, and their exhibition is held in the west of Fujian, so let's expand the scope so that everyone can benefit from Zhu Shengren's glory.

This sentence aroused the pride of many local students, and some people echoed and shouted on the spot: "Confucianism is authentic in Fujian, and our students should hold Zhu Zixue's righteousness, tomorrow's principles, and revitalize Fujian school!"

Several guests on the stage were also a little excited, but fortunately Huan Ling was on top of the scene.Even if someone is hot-blooded, he still wants to shout a few words, just look at his green official robe, and then think about the fact that every word and deed of his will be printed into a book and distributed to the world. Rebuke XX for being unrefined"...

The eight people sat obediently and did not dare to move.

Song Shi listened to the chanting of the audience with a happy face, and waved his hands when he felt that the atmosphere was almost over, and then presided over: "Fujian is the place where the school of Fujian was founded. For a long time, most of Neo Confucianists came from the local area, and all of you here are the successors of the sages.

"As a descendant, it is only natural that when you are studying, you will encounter some things that you can't understand the words of the sages. You will never learn them at that time. If you don't know them today, you will naturally learn them tomorrow. I am waiting here for the self-study meeting. In order to teach those who understand first and those who understand later, we all study knowledge together, write books for the future, inherit the mantle of the previous masters, and inherit Confucianism."

In short, it is the academic version of getting rich first and then getting rich, and finally achieving common prosperity, understand?

I understand, I understand very well.

There may be people who don’t like to listen to other things. When it comes to lecturing, preaching, and writing books, no scholar is willing to use it on himself.The ideal of their scholars is to establish morality, meritorious service, and establish a reputation.It goes without saying that ordinary people cannot achieve morality; making meritorious deeds depends on fate and the turmoil of the court, which cannot be done by human beings; but "creating words" is something that every scholar should pursue and can pursue.

They are all authentic inheritors of Hokkien learning, how could they not want to inherit the orthodoxy of Confucius, Mencius, Cheng Zhu, and also become a famous agent of learning, and even start their own school and teach students, becoming the suzerain of a school?

The four students who came up to explain and the students looked at the opposite students and the students in the audience, as if they were students who had come from thousands of miles away to study. , and unique insights.

But Song Shi had already abandoned them, and first applauded the dregs of the students: "These four virtuous brothers are willing to admit that they don't understand" in front of hundreds of people, and publicly state the detours they took in their studies, just to make others You can avoid these traps while studying, and it is easier to obtain true knowledge. Therefore, I believe that the four elder brothers also have the merit of teaching the students who are listening to me. Although they cannot be scholars and teachers, they are also pioneers worthy of respect."

When Huan Ling heard the word "teach", he straightened his back subconsciously, stared at Song Shi's fluttering lips, and listened to his next sentence.After hearing the phrase "can't be a scholar and teacher", a smile appeared in his eyes, and he commented loudly: "The most important thing for learning is the word 'truth', being able to admit one's own shortcomings, willing to learn from others, This is the foundation of learning."

Xixiran agreed in the audience.

The four students were even more excited, and stood up to thank the judges and the host.

They spared their face and were willing to tell all living beings what they didn't understand. Did they make such a big sacrifice just to wait for them to print the quotations of their lectures and print a sentence "Mr. Wen Jingxuan, Marquis of Minhou" "Mr. ask"?

This time is good, not only Song Jun personally talked about the righteousness of their sacrifice for the students on stage, but also Mr. Huan commented!According to what Song Jun said when he first came to power, these are all going to be printed in the book!

The four students were so excited that they were in the clouds, they were swaying and saluting, and they were reluctant to sit down.Fortunately, Song Shi stepped forward to hold them down in time to ask about their studies, and pulled the four scumbags back from the sky to the world

Mr. Wen Jingxuan of Minhou was the first to come up, and was also the first to be interviewed. Full of excitement, he raised his voice and said loudly: "Students hear people's hearts in a breath, and if they are not in the natural law, they are in the human desire. I don't know how to distinguish the slight difference between the laws of nature and the desires of man."

The host Song responded with a "hmm", repeated his words, and asked the audience: "Is there any student who doesn't understand this, you might as well raise your hand."

A lot of people raised their hands in the audience. Song Shi roughly reported the number of people, and said to the four academic masters: "Everyone is good at teaching the Dharma. Whoever is good at this topic can come up and explain it later, so that I can teach more. People can understand."

The four academic masters fell into deep thought, took notes and wrote down the topic, and even started to make a draft.Song Shi went to interview the second Mr. Zhang from Fuzhou. He prepared the answer early and blurted out: "I heard that the laws of heaven and people's desires go up and down. Since it is public to the world, it is always in the heart at that time, why can it not curb human desires, but instead requires people to control themselves at all times, lest human desires drive away the principles of heaven?"

What a lever!

Others who study are thinking about how to restrain their desires and seek the laws of heaven. This one thinks that the laws of heaven are ignorant, and won't help him expel human desires by himself?Then he thought it was too troublesome to know the test, and he couldn't fill out the paper by himself for him to be admitted as a Jinshi.

Song Shi turned his head to look at the masters of the school, and as expected, he saw that they were ready to speak out, and their jaws twitched from holding back.He quickly finished dealing with this one, and went to interview Mr. Wang from Hui'an County. Fortunately, Mr. Wang is a student who is willing to work hard. I respect the work of self-denial, but I haven't exhausted the knowledge of the principles of nature and human desires, when should I start self-denial?"

Hmm... This statement of the prophet before acting is like the saying in a cultivation novel that you must first understand what the Tao is before you can start cultivating the Tao.But according to the rules of the upgrade stream, one has to reach the ascension level before one can comprehend the Dao, so can one not cultivate the Dao if one does not realize the Dao?

Obviously not right.No wonder Zhu Zixue was later crushed by Wang Shengren's "integration of knowledge and action". From a practical point of view, it is not as easy to understand and start as others.

He comforted: "You can think carefully about the saying of 'knowledge and action' that was mentioned yesterday. It is not that you can only do it after you know it, but you can do it after knowing a little bit, and then use it to promote knowledge."

It's not like you don't know everything, you can do it wherever you go, and learn by doing it!

Wang Jun thought about it honestly, and Song Shi also walked up to the last lucky guest, Mr. Lin from Quanzhou, and interviewed in a warm voice: "Brother Lin has heard what the three guests said before, I don't know what the brother Lin wants to ask. Can it overlap with any of them?"

Mr. Lin shook his head, looked straight at him with persistent and bright eyes, and said, "No. I just think that people always have selfish desires in their hearts, and this desire is the most difficult to get rid of. I want to ask how to get rid of human desires."

This requirement is too high, and generally it is enough to restrain it. Even Zhu Zi himself took a little nun as a concubine, didn't he also fail to eliminate human desire.

Fortunately, he is only a moderator, neither a guest answerer nor a judge teacher. Naturally, others will answer these questions, so he can just control the direction and time of answering questions.

He nodded to Mr. Lin, turned around and said to the four guests: "Since the four questions have been raised, let the four virtuous brothers each choose one question to answer. After all, there are still eleven questions to answer later." For the answer, Mr. Huan will be asked to comment, and the three old gentlemen will come here to comment on the topic in the afternoon, so you must answer concisely."

The four sages responded, and hurriedly went to the middle to discuss who would answer which question.Song Shi returned to his seat gracefully, lifted his hem and sat on the vacant seat. With a smile, he asked Huan Ling to comment on where the four questions are and where they are most difficult to answer, so as to provide ideas for the guests.

The small table in front of the host can only hold a pot of clear tea, two teacups, not even a pen and paper.There are two sets of chairs hidden behind such a small table, and the sides of the chairs are almost together. When he sits down, he can touch his brother's legs by leaning his legs slightly to that side, and he can feel the scorching heat through his clothes.

People with muscles have a good metabolism, and their body temperature is so high.

He subconsciously retracted his leg, and Huan Ling immediately retracted that leg, but the sitting space was narrow, and the two of them relaxed a little, and the knees, arms, etc. were stuck together again.

Song Shi couldn't help wiping his arms, and wanted to get out of the way, but he was afraid that he would move out of the table, and people would see that he was not sitting dignified enough, that he didn't look like a host, so he had to endure the heat and complain in a low voice: I don’t know who arranged the chairs. It’s better to follow the arrangement of the table in the middle and the chairs on both sides. As soon as I sit here, I feel that you, brother, are scorching hot. How about you? Did I also bring a piece of hot air when I came here? come over?"

Huan Ling sat upright, glanced down at his arms that were tightly stretched by the sleeves and the back of his hands that were a little red from the sun, with the same expression, and said under his throat, "It's not hot. "

How could this hot wind match his heart.

The author has something to say: the titles of this chapter are all in the case of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, because it is too late to list specific people
