My ambition is to let all the people in the world, regardless of gender, old or young, high or low, be able to read and read, and be able to distinguish right from wrong.
My ambition is to make everyone equal in this world, without class oppression, and without injustice in this world.
My ambition is to inherit the ideals of the sages and continue to complete the path that the sages have not yet completed - the world is unified!
After saying these words at that time, Wang Dazi felt that his figure was so tall and his brilliance spread all over the world. Even he almost believed that he was sleeping in class for the sake of the common people.
All the students were dumbfounded when they heard this, how could this guy be so confident and talk nonsense, but this talk... was so irritating!
The students at that time had never heard of this truth. Their inherent understanding since childhood made them take it for granted that reading books is a feast for a few people. It is normal for poor people to not be able to read books, but they never considered it. However, the original intention of sages writing books and setting forth their words is to enable everyone in the world to read and understand reason.
Suddenly hearing Wang Zhi's words was like opening a window to my closed mind and opening a door to a new world. At that moment, some passionate students stood up and clapped their hands and shouted, "I'm here." Students of all generations should take this as their ambition, and be willing to be the leader of classmate Wang, and be the vanguard of the great unity of the world.
At that time, Wang Zhi didn't know what kind of fatal disaster his words would bring to him. It was just that when Wang Dajun heard such flattering words, it was okay. Pour oil on it.
Classmate Wang made bold remarks on the spot: You said it would be difficult for me to do anything in this life, but in my opinion, you don’t know what to do?
Is it true that those who shake their heads all day long are doing it?
Or is it just a matter of reciting poetry, making music, writing and painting all day long?
In my eyes, these actions are just deceiving oneself and deceiving others.
What is doing? Let me tell you!
To be able to establish a mind for the heaven and the earth, to establish a destiny for the living people, to carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations, that is called doing! !
Establish a mind for heaven and earth...establish a destiny for the living and the people...continue the teachings of the past saints...create peace for all generations...
Some students murmured these four sentences repeatedly in a daze, making their whole body tremble, their pores exploded, and they had goosebumps all over their bodies. Just reading it made people excited and excited, yes! This is what we do! This is what we do!
Compared with these four sentences, all my talents and knowledge in the past have been learned from dogs. These four sentences are the meaning and value of life for men of my generation.
These four famous quotes were written by Mr. Hengqu, a great scholar of Guan studies during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of this dynasty. However, at this time, Mr. Hengqu’s Guan studies had not yet been developed and were only known to a few people in Guan and Shu. Even Zhang Zai The Hengqu College founded by Zhang Zai was on the verge of bankruptcy at this time due to Zhang Zai's death. Historically, these four famous quotes were only known to the world during the Southern Song Dynasty, under the promotion of the great scholar Zhu Xi.
As for now, none of the students have ever heard of it. When they first heard such inspiring words, they felt their blood boiling all over, and they would not hesitate to throw their heads and blood at this moment.
Wang Zhi enjoyed watching the shock of everyone, his head felt hot again, and he shouted loudly again: As long as you can live a certain life for the people of this world and benefit future generations, you can become a saint with 360 actions! !
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. These were earth-shattering words. They were no more Confucian than Hengqu's four sentences. All the students deeply agreed with them. However, these three hundred and sixty lines can be used to achieve sainthood...
Who knows that these saints are all ancestors of Confucianism? The famous saying "Everything is inferior, only reading is high" is still hanging on the wall behind Liu Xuezheng on the stage. From ancient times to the present, the classes of scholars, farmers, workers and merchants have been clearly defined. Confucian scholar-bureaucrats are high and have controlled the world for thousands of years. Now you can become a saint with three hundred and sixty lines. Doesn't that mean that even a lowly person from Shang Valley can be compared with Confucius as long as he does something that benefits the country and the people? Meng tied?
This is going to overturn the current status of Confucianism in the world. This is going to overthrow Confucianism!
In the Song Dynasty, the status of scholars was very high, much higher than that of previous dynasties. Emperor Taizu usurped the throne as a military general. In order to prevent future generals from imitating the same example, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong formulated the With a series of policies that favored civility and suppressed military force, even the military was controlled by civilian officials, to the point where even a third-grade military general had to dismount and salute when he saw a seventh-grade civilian official.
At this time, the status of Confucianism was unprecedentedly high. Even their Taixue students not only did not charge tuition fees, but also received food subsidies, and also provided scholarships and living allowances to some students, which was simply worse than the treatment of later generations of students. The world is so different. As for the titles of Medical Sage, Martial Arts Sage, and Calligraphy Sage that are respected by the world, they are all given by the descendants of later generations. There was no such saying at that time, and there will never be such a saying. Who dares to compare with Confucius and Mencius? If the saints are juxtaposed, I am afraid that they will be drowned by Tumo Xingzi, a scholar in the world.
At that time, everyone was silent and did not dare to talk. Only Liu Xuezheng was so angry that his chest heaved and his hair and beard were spread out. He could not even speak clearly. He just pointed at Wang Zhi and scolded: You, you, you... it’s just nonsense. Full of nonsense... full of nonsense.
Wang Zhi didn't pay attention to the expressions of the students at that time. He just thought that they were attracted by his domineering aura, so he put his hands behind his back and said to him through his nostrils: Am I ashamed of my words? Let me ask you, do you think that Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote sixteen volumes of the masterpiece "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" that has been handed down from generation to generation? There are countless living people, and his blessings are not limited to ten generations. How can he be regarded as a saint?
Let's talk about the Taishi Company's Ma Qian. After studying the relationship between heaven and man, we can understand the changes of ancient and modern times and become a family. As soon as "Historical Records" was published, the three thousand years of China's history was established in front of the hall, so that future generations can use history as a mirror to know the rise and fall. Can it be regarded as a saint?
There is also the thirteen chapters of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" written by Sun Wuzi in the Spring and Autumn Period. It can be said that he is a military master of hundreds of generations. He has resisted so many barbarians and saved us from so many man-made disasters for our Chinese descendants. How great is his contribution, can he be regarded as a saint?
There are also Cangjie’s calligraphy, Cai Lun’s papermaking, Zu Chongzhi’s craftsmanship, Bi Sheng’s printing...
As Wang Zhi blurted out one by one the great sages from ancient times, the hall was huge, but there were only two words. Every sentence seemed to be able to pierce into people's hearts, making all the students blush and breathe heavily. Even Liu Xuezheng was stunned at this time. He just pointed at Wang Zhi with a cold eyebrow and a trembling mouth, but could not speak.
He wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason. Such epic heroes and sages were like huge walls so thick that he couldn't see the end, pressing firmly on his chest and blocking his throat, making his face turn purple. His body couldn't stop shaking.
All the anger and all the words finally turned into one sentence: Get out of here! !
Just go out. Wang Zhi tossed his sleeves, held his head high, and strode out of the fast. At the end, he left a sentence: I am not leaving here because of your driving, but because I am not willing to take your sour class.
Until a long time after Wang Zhi left the fast, the room was still silent, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.
What happened in the Zhaitang and Taixue later was unknown to Wang Zhi. At that time, he had climbed out of the wall of Taixue and stayed in Juxian Hall for several days before returning home.
Wang Fu and Wang Gui just assumed that he was living in the Taixue dormitory and did not ask any more questions. It was not until they went to Juxian Hall later that they learned from the people in the hall that the master of the hall was eating and living with them. After a few days, he told his mistress Zhong as usual, and Zhong broke a few sticks as usual.
"Why are you in big trouble? Do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know?"
His thoughts were pulled back by Qin Jiuzhao's question. Wang Zhi looked at him in confusion and said, "What are you and I pretending to do? I really don't know. Isn't this a very common sentence?"
Wang Zhi didn't lie to him. He really didn't know what was wrong with this sentence. He was influenced by the memory of later generations and inherently believed that there was no distinction between high and low in the industry. It is indispensable that the pioneers of every profession should be respected by the world, instead of being like today where everyone pursues literati and scholars write poems and articles.
Could it be that I was too pretentious that day and was hated by others?
Qin Jiuzhao saw that he didn't seem to be a hypocrite, so he hated iron and said, "What you said in the studio that day was highly praised by some classmates. They even compiled it into a book and listed several thoughts and doctrines, calling it 'New Learning' .”
"One of them is: study things to gain knowledge, and unite knowledge and action."
"The second one is: abandon the complex and keep it simple, easy to understand."
"The third one is: spread knowledge widely and educate all people."
"The fourth is: everyone is equal and the world is unified."
"The fifth one is: If all are equal in conduct, all can become saints."
…
As Qin Jiuzhao spoke slowly, Wang Zhi gradually smiled. He just didn't complain that day, but he didn't expect that he could find so many tricks, so he laughed and said: "This is a good thing, what's the trouble?"
"I think you are really crazy!"
Qin Jiuzhao rolled his eyes at him and said, "I won't talk about the rest, but just these five thoughts and doctrines. Any one of them is enough to kill you eight hundred times."
"What does this mean?" Wang Zhi was puzzled.
"I didn't quite understand it at first, but I felt it was inappropriate, so I told the scholar. He explained it to me, and then I realized that you have really caused a big disaster."
Qin Jiuzhao explained to him with a solemn expression, "Let's talk about the first one, 'Studying things to gain knowledge'. All the literary giants and scholars in this dynasty are studying the articles of sages and sages to gain knowledge. You come to sing the opposite, if you want to study things to gain knowledge, where do you put their old faces?" ?”
"As for the second point of 'abandoning complexity and adopting simplicity', what you said is rather light-hearted. The literati of this dynasty all advocated gorgeous words and liked to show off their literature. Your theory is tantamount to scolding them for taking off their pants and farting. How can you tell them? Can I spare you?"
"Let's talk about the third article of 'Educate all peoples'. If you educate all peoples, what will happen to those aristocratic families? They can be superior to others for generations just because they have mastered knowledge. If you let everyone in the world master knowledge, then they What else is there to gain? Who else can be exploited? There have been many people throughout the ages who have said they want to educate all peoples, but who of you do you think has actually done so? This is against all the aristocratic families, and it is no joke."
