"...The Australians came to Lingao and made a lot of efforts. Not only did they renovate Molixuan Academy and reorganize the school fields, they also got money and food for the students who had been owed for a long time, so that they would not be cold and hungry. Tianlai's novel www.' ⒉The scholars all have books to read. The Australians also set up their own Australian schools." At this point, Yang Shixiang said with a proud face: "My useless young son has no hope of joining the sages, so I sent him to He entered an Australian school." Looking at that sullen face and the way he was twirling his beard and shaking his head, Zhang Dai knew that Dr. Yang's youngest son was probably successful in his studies at an Australian school, but Yang Shixiang himself didn't think so. The words came out so well that Zhang Dai was embarrassed and didn't know whether he should compliment him or not.
"What the Australians said was quite interesting. One day, I asked Quanzi: What did I learn in school today? The kid talked about a lot of arithmetic, this force, that force, and what about the ball rolling down the slope. It was all nonsense. I was tired of hearing it and was about to let him go after slapping my palms a few times, but he added that today we also talked about the Suiren clan, the Youchao clan, the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the Lei. Ancestor, Cangjie, etc." Yang Shixiang was so absorbed in what he said that his eyes had lost focus. He naturally picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of herbal tea before continuing.
"I'm surprised, this Australian also talks about the ancient sages? I want Quanzi to explain what the Australians say." At this point, Yang Shixiang first let out a long sigh, "Alas", and then stopped repeating it. The son's original words were reorganized and summarized by himself: "These Australians believe that the reason why these ancient sages are great is because their inventions greatly promoted social production..."
Zhang Dai frowned and endured proprietary words like "productivity", "social production" and "production efficiency" that seemed to refer to something but could not be sure of the specific meaning. He listened to the second-hand version of the Senate for nearly 10 minutes. The tool history view of human civilization is also called the technological history view. Since Suiren mastered fire, humans have opened up their spiritual wisdom, making pottery, herbal medicine, planting, and mulberry silkworms. Each invention has greatly promoted the development of human civilization and greatly improved human life. And technology is constantly improving, from cave dwellings, to tree nests, to wooden houses, villages, and finally to rammed earth for walls and bricks to build cities, or from "harvesting copper from the sun" to making iron and forging steel. The key is to rely on the understanding of words and the inheritance of knowledge...
Zhang Dai himself is a historian. Although in another time and space he was famous as a gourmet, literary artist and prose writer, his real work "The Book of the Stone Chamber" is the skeleton of "History of the Ming Dynasty". If we want to classify it, of course his view of history is still the traditional orthodox view of history and the heroic view of history. For the first time, he came into contact with the new concepts indexed by tool exhibition and science and technology exhibition in the classification of historical materialism. You can imagine his shock. . The Confucian scholars of Confucius and Mencius all emphasized that "the law precedes the king" and that the present is not as good as the past, so the law must precede the king in order to restore the rule of the three generations. As a form of political correctness, "Faxianwang" means that no one dares to challenge it head-on even though they feel there is something wrong in their hearts. Xunzi proposed the "Dharma Queen King", but this does not mean that each generation is stronger than the previous generation. Instead, he first constructs an "ideal king" in his mind that has not yet appeared and may exist in later generations, and then requires the current kings to strengthen. Self-cultivation gradually approaches this "king's template". For more than a thousand years in later generations, there were only a few practitioners of "Xunzi", and their views were different. It can be said to be a "rare heresy", and academic ideas were not widely disseminated. Today, in a medical clinic, Zhang Dai heard a new view of history with complete logic, detailed narratives, and sufficient arguments. It not only affirmed the great achievements of the "ancient sages" but also pointed out the path for the continued development of human society. Hearing this, the emotion of "I will die at night" filled Zhang Dai's mind at this moment.
After finishing the narration, Yang Shixiang slowly tasted several cookies, and Zhang Dai regained his composure. And when he regained his composure, he just changed from a dull state to a subconscious desire to communicate with someone. Facing the only person with whom he could communicate, Zhang Dai wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say - after all Yang Shixiang is just a peddler of this new historical perspective. Yang Shixiang sighed deeply and continued: "According to the Australian view, during the Yan and Han dynasties, Zhao Guo in the former Han Dynasty and Hua Lan in the later Han Dynasty were used to plow fields and cattle, and those who overturned carts were thirsty for crows. , The merit lies in the present time, and the benefit lies in the future. These two people are the great sages of the two Han Dynasties..." Compared with Chuanchai and Kewu, the original Jujue is nothing!
After hearing this, Zhang Dai couldn't accept it. Zhao Guo, there are only a few strokes in the history books, let’s not talk about it for now; that Hua Lan was the ten constant servants who disturbed the imperial court! How many years has it been since Wei Zhongxian was overthrown today? This eunuch who wields power is actually regarded by Australians as a great sage of the Later Han Dynasty? Where does this place the sages Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, and Zheng Xuan?
If the three views are not aligned, we cannot have fun together...
If you think about it more carefully, Zhao Guo is from a peasant family, and the peasant family is a branch of the Mohist family; Hua Lan is a eunuch, but he uses strange skills and tricks... um... mechanical decorations... um... in short, he just does it. Those who "created in the Ming Dynasty" are also Mohists... "Mencius Teng Wengong" said: "If the world does not belong to Yang, then it belongs to Mo. If the Yang family is mine, there is no king; if the Moh family loves both, it is without a father. Yes. Without a father and a king, he is just a beast." Zhang Dai subconsciously chanted this sentence, but found Yang Shixiang staring at him with a puzzled face. After realizing that he had made a "gaffe", Zhang Dai asked simply: "Australians are like Mohists. Mohists have no king or father. This..." If he really said the following words, he really wouldn't get into trouble. What?
"Hahaha!" Yang Shixiang remembered the announcement of soliciting ancient books in a certain issue of "Lingao Times" he had read, and replied: "Mr. Zhang! This book "Mozi", according to Australians, was written when Song Dynasty was crossing south. Many of them have been scattered, and to this day, only fifty-three chapters remain in Australian hands, of which eight have only titles but no content. If Mr. Zhang really has seventy-one chapters of "Mozi" in his hands, he may be able to dedicate them to The Senate is also a great meritorious service."
After hearing this, Zhang Dai looked embarrassed - although the Zhang family was a local wealthy family, they also had a rich collection of books for three generations. But he is not from a family with a thousand years of history, and his family will not actively collect "heresies" such as "Mozi". Almost all his impressions of Mohism come from the criticism of Mohism in Confucianism.
"Furthermore," Yang Shixiang rarely took the initiative and couldn't help but start chatting: "No matter what happened to the Mohist family more than a thousand years ago... I might as well use the story of Xinglin as an example - if there is an ancient recipe, there are Douchi bells and Cao Wu. When the assistant envoy and the medical officer saw it, he said, 'This is a serious poison, it cannot be used!' I dare to ask Mr. Zhang, is it okay?"
Although Zhang Dai does not understand medical skills, he also knows that some tiger and wolf prescriptions also use poisonous medicines such as Aristolochia and Aracolia. If he does not consider the ruler, ministers and envoys to compare the prescriptions, it is of course inappropriate to say no. . But it was obvious that Yang Shixiang wanted to compare the Mohists to the "ancient prescription" and try to make some sense, but Zhang Dai found it difficult to answer.
Yang Shixiang didn't really want to wait for his answer, so he continued talking on his own: "The medical officer didn't stop there, he also said, 'This poisonous prescription must not be released into the world, and all the flavors in the prescription are not allowed to be used.'" Therefore, cinnamon twigs, ephedra, ginseng, and deer antlers are not allowed to be used. Just because these are found in ancient prescriptions, they are not allowed to be used. Mr. Zhang, is it okay to do this?" Yang Shixiang said more The more excited he became, the harsher his tone became, and the look he looked at Zhang Dai gradually became a bit hostile.
This "medical officer" is talking about Confucianism, right? Moreover, you always think of me as that Yuan Xueguan! By the way, could the academic officer named Yuan be related to Inspector Yuan who was executed a few years ago? That Governor Yuan was also a member of Guangfu... Zhang Dai's thoughts began to wander in an incredible place.
The atmosphere was awkward when suddenly I heard the waiter greeting guests at the door shout: "Master! You are here!"
Yang Shixiang was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then realized something. He quickly stood up and looked at the familiar figure at the door...
"Brother Xian! How come you're here all the time?" Yang Shixiang rushed to the door and stretched out his hand to shake Liu San's hand very naturally.
"Excuse me, brother! I'm here on a mission too!" Liu San let go and then patted Yang Shixiang on the shoulder, and the two stood side by side.
"This is Mr. Zhang Dai, Zhang!" Liu San walked forward slowly. Zhang Dai also probably understood that this was a "real man", who should be the Australian owner of Runshitang, so he stood up early and bowed his hands in salute. Unexpectedly, Liu San still extended his right hand to him with a smile on his face. Zhang Dai thought about the way Yang Shixiang shook hands with Liu San just now, and knew that this was probably the Australian greeting gift. He also slightly suppressed his subconscious disgust at calling Liu San by his first name. He smiled in his heart and stretched out his right hand. Shake hands with Liu San. Before he could speak, he heard Liu Sanyu say repeatedly with strange emotions, "Nice to meet you! I've admired you for a long time!"
"Could it be that my literary name has shocked these overseas relics?" Zhang Dai couldn't understand how long Liu San's sincere "long admiration" lasted, so he could only respond as usual: "Where is it! I'm ashamed of myself! It's insulting to have such a humble reputation." Listen clearly.”
"I don't know, sir, you have come all the way from the south of the Yangtze River to this place. What are you doing here?"
Liu San's tone revealed a condescending tone, but Zhang Dai also had no temper - not to mention that this was one of the elders of Tai Sui in Guangzhou, but in terms of the shop where he was sitting now, this elder Liu was also a big boss. But the real protagonist is a guest who comes to see him with a name card.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Dai replied generously: "When I was traveling with friends in Hangzhou in the evening, I met Zhao Xiucai of Sanshui. He introduced Australian scenery in many ways. I was fascinated by it, so I went south to find a way to get there. Take a closer look."
