Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Xiao Han did not urge them, but took the opportunity to turn around and gesture to Xiao Shisan in the corner.
When Xiao Shisan saw Xiao Han's gesture, he immediately trotted onto the stage happily, listened to a few instructions from him in a low voice, and then ran out of the auditorium in a hurry.
"What are they going to do?" Yin Can stood in the audience, watching Xiao Shisan's figure leaving in a hurry, feeling as if a kitten was scratching his heart!
I wanted to rush forward immediately, pinch Xiao Han's neck, and make him spit out everything.
"I think the truth comes from people's continuous learning, experience, and thinking!"
In the audience, someone finally broke the silence and spoke out again.
And it was obvious that the person who spoke this time was much more prudent and rational than the middle-aged teacher just now.
Xiao Han on the stage was shaken when he heard someone answer, then nodded and continued to ask: "What else?"
"besides?"
The person who just answered was startled, and there was a strange look in his eyes: "What do you mean? Isn't this how the truth comes from? Just like holding an umbrella when it rains, children are filial to their parents. Because of experience, they think about it and finally conclude. Makes sense!"
When Xiao Han heard the question, he smiled and shook his head and said: "I didn't say you were wrong, but what you said was incomplete! There are many truths in the world, and there are many ways to summarize them. You only said part of it, and What about some?”
"There are still some..." When the man heard this, he frowned and remained silent.
On the contrary, the middle-aged teacher who had just been exhausted seemed to have discovered an opportunity and sneered quickly: "Hey, you keep asking around to show how capable you are, why don't you tell me the rest!"
After that, he laughed proudly a few times, but not many people agreed, which made him seem a little embarrassed.
Xiao Han looked at the middle-aged teacher who kept silent, disgust flashed in his eyes.
This bastard repeatedly made provocations. Although his words were not excessive, he was like a fly. It was really annoying! If it hadn't been in public, he would have called Xiaodong to beat him! It might as well let him know that big fists are also a form of truth!
"Um, are you a disciple of Confucianism?" Xiao Han asked, squinting his eyes and suppressing the urge to beat someone.
"Yes!" The middle-aged teacher didn't know why Xiao Han suddenly asked this question, so he hesitated before answering.
The corners of Xiao Han's mouth raised slightly: "Then have you ever heard of a sentence in Confucian classics, which is that knowledge comes from studying things?"
"Studying things to gain knowledge? Who doesn't know what the sage said in "The Great Learning": "Searching for things to gain knowledge, sincerity and correctness of mind?" "The expression of the middle-aged teacher who spoke became more and more contemptuous.
It’s okay if Xiao Han wants to ask him a more difficult question! But ask him about the first volume and the first chapter of the Confucian Classics: Chapter of the University. What kind of thing is this? Look down on him?
In fact, not only was the middle-aged teacher despising Xiao Han more and more, but other people in the auditorium also started whispering.
Those students were fine, they were confused, and every sentence seemed to make sense! But those teachers don't think so.
Isn’t this court judgment too unreliable?
At the beginning, he raised such a big question and made them think about it. But what he said next was all unrelated things. Could it be that this person's thinking logic was messed up?
However, Xiao Han didn't care what other people thought. He just stared at the teacher and asked, "Excuse me, what do these four words, study of things and knowledge, mean?"
"This..." The middle-aged teacher was silent again, hemming and hawing for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Of course, this is really not his fault.
Xiao Han dared to ask this question because he knew: Confucius' theory of studying things to achieve knowledge has no annotation at all! The true meaning of this sentence was initially only passed down to a few disciples such as Yan Yuan and Zeng Zi, and not many people knew about it!
Later, these essential thoughts experienced countless wars, and the First Emperor burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, and they were lost ever since.
It was not until Wang Mingyang's theory of mind appeared more than a thousand years later that he inherited this thought.
In the Tang Dynasty? Except for the old man Kong Yingda who has studied it, no one else can fully understand it with just these four words!
"If you want to be sincere in your meaning, you must first know what you know, and to know what you know, you must check things!" Zheng Xuan, a sage of the Han Dynasty, once noted that "checking means coming; things are still things." If he knows the goodness deeply, then good things will come to him; if he knows the evil deeply, then evil things will come to him; if things are favorable to others, this may be the case. "
There was silence for a while, and soon, someone spoke up again in the auditorium. Xiao Han looked over and found that the speaker this time was Mr. Song from the academy.
As for the middle-aged teacher, when he saw Mr. Song coming out, he was immediately overjoyed and even straightened his waist a little, looking quite arrogant inside.
Xiao Han recognized Mr. Song and respected him. He bowed his hands to him from a distance on the podium and said loudly: "Sir, he is knowledgeable and has a strong memory. I admire him later."
However, as soon as Xiao Han finished speaking, Mr. Song bowed his hands in shame and returned the salute: "The court ruled that this is a ridiculous compliment. In fact, I only know this, but I don't know why!"
When Xiao Han heard this, his favorable impression of Mr. Song immediately became stronger!
Look, this is a real scholar! If you don’t understand, you won’t pretend to understand, and you won’t forcefully talk about it!
A gentleman's magnanimity not only does not harm others' character, but also makes others admire him.
Seeing others being so humble, Xiao Han naturally couldn't be more arrogant: "Actually, Wan Sheng didn't understand this sentence too deeply. He just thought that in layman's terms, it means to study the principles and laws of things and summarize them into knowledge and principles. "
"Studying the principles and laws of things? How? Can a dead thing still tell you its principles?"
Before Xiao Han finished speaking, the fly jumped out again, successfully showing its presence, and this time Mr. Song was beside him, which made him speak in a higher tone.
"Damn it, if a tiger doesn't show off its power, do you really think I'm Hello Kittiy?"
The muscles on Xiao Han's face twitched a few times, and he cursed in his heart at the same time! Where did Yin Can find this person? Are you stupid enough to do it in the academy?
"Who said a dead thing can't teach us the truth?"
Saying this in disgust, Xiao Shisan happened to run back with a bunch of things. When Xiao Han saw this, he immediately waved to him to carry all the things to the stage, and at the same time smiled at the fly...
(The First Emperor of Qin burned books to trap Confucians, but in fact most of the people he trapped were alchemists and sorcerers. The purpose of burning books was also to have the same text as the books, thereby destroying private collections, but official collections were not included!
Of course, a policy that sweeps the world will naturally make mistakes. In the midst of this, many Confucian scholars or real classics must have suffered. )
