Chapter 168 "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules"
"It's done, we've done it." An excited voice interrupted Qin An's conversation.
Everyone looked out the door.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Who is making such noise? Bring him to me."
"No." Zhang Han responded.
Soon two people were brought into the yard by Zhang Han. They were Gong Shuyang and his son. They each held a box on their mobile phones.
Zhang Han bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Village chief, there are other members of the Gongshu family outside the yard. They are a little excited because they have completed movable type printing."
Gong Shuyang and his son knelt down.
"Damn it, you little man, you disturbed the village chief and your husband."
Qin An sighed inwardly: Alas, there is really no way. People in the village are either bowing or kneeling. Can they be more normal?
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "No problem, show me the movable type to see how magical it is."
"promise."
Immediately, Gong Shuyang respectfully handed a box to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng did not take it, but Zhang Han took the box first, then opened the box to confirm that there was no danger, and then handed it to Ying Zheng respectfully.
Ying Zheng took the box, opened it, and found a cube seal. He took out a seal with great interest and said, "Sir, is this movable type?"
Qin An shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't know. The printing technology outside has been updated. It is very convenient to print. Just press a button.
This movable type printing can be said to be very backward, but for the village, it is also very advanced.
But I believe in Mr. Gongshu's skills. When he said it was completed, it must have been through experiments, otherwise he would never say it was completed. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Has it been tested as sir said?"
Gong Shuyang said: "Report to the village chief, the experiment has passed. Bai'er, open the box."
Gongshu Bai immediately opened the box. Inside were three printed books, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Disciple Rules". The three books had been bound, but there was no cover.
Gongshuyang took out three books from the box and said: "Village chief, these three books are printed by the little people. Please take a look."
After Ying Zheng took the books, he read them carefully. These three books were all written in Qin seal, so they were easy to understand at a glance.
Ying Zheng had already read "Hundred Family Surnames" and it had become popular in Xianyang City. Even children could recite it, so what Ying Zheng read was "The Three Character Classic".
"Man's nature is good at the beginning." Ying Zheng was shocked after reading the first sentence, "Wonderful, wonderful. The first sentence leads people to be good. It is really wonderful."
"Father, why don't you have a child to read it to?" Fusu said impatiently.
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him. Of course he had seen such a masterpiece at first sight. How could he give it to others? He immediately ignored Fusu and continued to read: "We are close in practice, but far apart in nature. If we don't agree, it is the fault of the godfather..."
Li Si, Meng Yi and others began to shake their heads one after another. It was catchy, the principles were easy to understand, and easy to memorize. It was indeed the best teaching material for enlightenment.
No wonder Qin Anhui strongly recommended this "Three Character Classic".
However, their expressions soon changed.
"The Ying Qin family first merged, passed down the second generation, the Chu-Han conflict, the Emperor Gaozu prospered, and the Han industry was established. To Xiaoping, Wang Mang usurped. Guangwu prospered, and became the Eastern Han Dynasty. After four hundred years, he finally dedicated... Diligence has merit, but play is useless. Precepts That’s right, you should try your best.”
The more Ying Zheng read, the more frightened everyone became. This was simply a description of the dynasties after the Qin Dynasty.
It turns out that after the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and finally the Republic of China.
It turns out that so many dynasties have changed in the past two thousand years.
"Zhao Yun." Ying Zheng suddenly shouted.
"The child is here." The young master walked out.
"You said you have studied the Three Character Classic and found anything wrong with it?" Ying Zheng asked.
Before Young Master Gao could answer, Qin An on the side took the lead in replying: "Is it wrong? The village chief discovered something was wrong. It's really amazing. It's true. This Three-Character Sutra was amplified by later generations.
The original Three Character Classic was created by a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, and many additions were made later.
But this is the book I have read since I was a child. As for the earliest version, I don’t know, but one thing is for sure. The Three Character Classic can be deleted or deleted at will, as long as you want. "
"Someone has added it, and can delete it at will? How can it still be like this?" Ying Zheng muttered to himself in shock.
His voice was a bit loud, Qin An heard it clearly, and was surprised: "Didn't the village chief notice?"
Ying Zheng suddenly blushed and said slowly: "How could you not find it? That's what I want to ask. Zhao Yun, since the teacher has said it, let this matter be like this for the time being. Let's continue reading the "Disciple Regulations"."
Immediately, Ying Zheng changed a book and began to read: "Disciple rules and sages' instructions. The first is filial piety, and the second is sincerity. Love others broadly, and be kind. If you have spare energy, study literature."
This is to teach people to be filial to their parents, to be friendly to their brothers and sisters, and secondly to be cautious in their words and deeds, and to keep their promises.
Love the public, get close to virtuous people, and if you have extra energy, you should learn more and ask more questions.
Good book, really good book.
Although children who have learned the "Disciple Rules" since childhood cannot understand filial piety and brotherhood, at least 80% of them can. "
Fusu spoke again: "Father is right, it is better to let the children read the rest, as a filial piety to the father."
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him, and then handed the "Disciple Rules" to Fusu. Everyone said that he was filial and could not refuse his child's kindness.
And just now I said that people should understand filial piety, but then turned around and told the other party not to be filial. Isn't this a slap in the face?
Fusu took the book excitedly. After reading the content, he happily read: "Be filial when you enter. Don't be slow to respond to your parents' calls. Don't be lazy to do what your parents ask..."
After Fusu finished reading the entire article, his breathing became a little short.
A great talent. The person who wrote this book is definitely a great talent, a talent that none of us can compare with.
Once the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Regulations" are published, Confucianism will definitely become stronger, and the father's Confucian-led policy can be fully realized.
The idea of unifying the world will also be completely accepted by the people. If others want to rebel against Qin, the remnants of the six kingdoms will go their separate ways, making it difficult to unify.
"Village chief, both books are rare masterpieces. They both have the effect of enlightenment and can educate others. I think it can teach not only Zhaojia Village, but other villages as well.
Why not print a few more copies here and let Boss Meng sell them in other villages. Let people learn etiquette early. "Li Si said.
Meng Yi immediately said: "I am willing to take a trip."
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "This is a good thing, but the villagers are ignorant. There are historical contents in the Three Character Classic that need to be deleted."
