Not everyone in this scene knew Qin Gang, but Qin Gang was a familiar figure to those representatives of the school.
Qin Gang was not only a bachelor, but also a well-known scholar. Although there were rumors about him, Qin Gang was still a very dignified person in the northern part of the Wen Dynasty.
He was once an important minister of the imperial court, and also served as the crown prince and tutor, which once attracted a lot of students to follow him. Even now that he has arrived at Xuanyuan Academy, many students have come enthusiastically.
In terms of seniority, Qin Gang is undoubtedly the senior of everyone in this group, so Qin Gang spoke at this moment.
Everyone in that school was stunned, but Qin Gang wanted to talk about this first, so no one dared to refute.
When Song Mu saw Qin Gang rescuing him, he smiled slightly and quickly sat down.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Seeing Qin Gang's contented look, they all straightened up and listened attentively.
Qin Gang glanced at everyone in the room, stroked his beard and smiled, and then spoke to himself.
"I have been studying literature and Taoism for many years. I have heard many of the Confucian ideas you mentioned. The differences among them are superficially different, but in depth, it is your practice. It’s different.”
"Cultivation of Taoism is not easy. If you have something in mind, you must do it. This is a school of its own."
Qin Gang said this, and everyone looked at each other in shock. This was quite reasonable, but everyone could faintly hear some of Qin Gang's recognition of practice.
But at this moment, Qin Gang continued to speak.
"As for the similarities between them, I see today that you all have the desire to learn, and the other thing is that you have to teach students to practice hard, but that's it."
When Qin Gang said this, everyone was puzzled, but Qin Gang explained with a smile.
"Today is, after all, a debate. There are similarities and differences between schools of thought, so naturally I have to leave more to you to say, so I will just say these humble opinions."
But when the words fell, Qin Gang's face sank slightly. At that moment, the Manshe glanced at the crowd with some seriousness and spoke again.
"But today I have also made ugly remarks. I attach great importance to academic matters. It is okay for you to express your own opinions. If you want to make more twists and turns..."
"Don't blame me for scolding you."
Qin Gang said coldly. Even Song Mu was stunned when he heard this and turned to look at him.
The representatives of the school and many students raised their eyebrows when they heard this. This time, when they saw Qin Gang's solemn expression, their expressions became stern.
In today's event, Qin Gang undoubtedly plays a decisive role, and speaking like this is to ease the situation and explain the rules.
Today, Qin Gang is going to be the right person.
Everyone's eyes changed slightly, but they also knew not to talk nonsense.
"That's all I'm going to say today. If you want to argue, that's up to you. Just don't go beyond the rules of literary debate."
After saying this, Qin Gang sat down again, closing his eyes to rest and not seeming to interfere much.
There was a bit of silence in the field for a while, but soon some people came to their senses. At this moment, they stood up and saluted Qin Gang and others.
That person was none other than Kong Xueli, a descendant of Kong Sheng. With a solemn expression, he bowed his hands to the surrounding people and then spoke.
"What Mr. Qin said made Kong feel deeply in his heart. If our school of literature in the literary dynasty has its origins but has the same root and origin, there must be some similarities and differences. Today Kong will briefly discuss it."
Kong Xueli said this, glanced at Qin Gang again, and then spoke.
"In my opinion, the words of our sages inherited by our school are the purest among Confucian schools. The Wen Dynasty has been standing for many years, and our ancestors have also tried their best to find the words of these sages to be extraordinary. They are not only for the students of our Wen Dynasty The knowledge of etiquette and righteousness is based on everyone's words, which shows the prestige of our literary dynasty. This should be the biggest difference between our sect and everyone else."
"But if we talk about the similarities, the most common point, it should be to show the writings of the sages, turn it into my own efforts to clarify the truth for the students of the Wen Dynasty, and make a difference for the safety of the Wen Dynasty."
Kong Xueli's words were smooth, and even sounded related to what Qin Gang said, but they were also the most agreeable ones, so there would be no debate.
The people around him who heard his words raised their eyebrows. At this moment, they realized that the longer he spoke, the more subtle it would be, but in such a situation, it would really hurt people.
As a result, the situation suddenly changed, and everyone stood up one after another, scrambling to express their opinions.
Several schools of thought were speaking at the moment, but one of them showed hesitation after speaking differently.
"If we want to talk about the same things among our schools, I think this one..."
The other party hesitated for a moment, then pondered for a moment, and then sighed.
"I'm sorry for my lies, but the real common thread among them is that we are all literati from the Wen Dynasty."
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the whole place. This was the first time for the students to hear such fierce remarks. It could be said that a few words caused a storm. For a while, their expressions were shocked. Even the good-hearted person, I became excited immediately.
But some people have discovered the problem, that is, the words spoken by many people have some differences, and it seems that when the similarities are mentioned, people are disgusted and even unwilling to speak. .
The literati do have some sympathy for each other, but being so vague is actually due to their status. They are afraid of making random remarks and losing the sense of propriety in their words, which will destroy themselves.
It is obvious that people from these schools are aware of this situation, so they are even more careful when speaking. Some people even sighed and did not want to say more, which caused a lot of weirdness in the scene.
After several remarks, only the retro school and the practical school were left without speaking. At that moment, everyone was looking around. Qian Jun, the retro school, stood up and looked around pretending to be deep. , and then said with arms raised around him.
"You have talked a lot today, and the similarities and differences are all complicated."
"It's probably a commonplace for me to be in the same place. What I just heard from Brother Fang and others can be regarded as my attitude."
As Qian Jun said this, he suddenly stroked his beard, paused slightly, and then continued.
"But when it comes to the differences, I have experienced it over the years, but there is only one thing."
As he said that, the other party's eyes suddenly looked to one side. Song Mu's eyes met his, and his heart moved at this moment.
"When I was in Lin'an, I heard the most different statement, that is, the world is neither a monarch nor a minister, and the country no longer needs a monarch to control it."
As soon as these words came out, these people immediately looked at it, and some students from the practical school immediately realized the situation, and they suddenly became angry.
At this time, Qian Jun finally came to his senses. He looked at Song Mu and said in a deep voice.
"So among them, I have the least favorable treatment for the practical school. At least in my opinion, the practical school has many differences, and its ideas are contrary to the word practice. There are too many to list."
Qian Jun's words were explicit, the voice spread, and everyone's expressions changed.
