In fact, the Modern Literature School has been unable to nip this wave of offensive from the Ancient Literature School in the cradle.
But I have to say that in the current situation, although there are not as many people in the Jinwenjing school as there are in the Guwenjing school, most of them are in a position or position where they can speak out and are convenient to speak out, and have strong channels to speak out.
The majority of senior central and local officials were members of the Jinwen Jing school, disciples and former officials, and most of the three officials and nine ministers were scholars of the Jin Wen school.
Although the Ancient Classics School occupies a relative advantage in the Shangshutai, the level of the Secretariat is already very low. Officials of the Ancient Classics School are hard-working clerks at the central government, and most of them are hard-working county magistrates and remote county governors at the local level. In terms of political power, Hard to fight against.
Therefore, in the sudden and comprehensive political attack launched by the Jin Wen Jing school, the Ancient Wen Jing school was at a disadvantage and found it difficult to compete with the powerful voice channels of the Jin Wen Jing school.
Liu Hong's case is full of memorials from powerful officials of the Modern Classics School, which means that the Ancient Classics School was completely at a disadvantage in terms of channels for speaking out and was defeated.
However, the Ancient Classics School, which was at a disadvantage under the political offensive, was unwilling to fail. They withstood the attack of the Modern Classics School on the academic battlefield and launched a large-scale counterattack. Members of both sides launched heated debates on many occasions and refused to give in to each other.
Liu Bei stepped onto the stage at this time.
Political decline does not mean that the Ancient Classics School has given up confrontation.
The political high pressure of the Jin Wen Jing school made the scholars of the Gu Wen Jing school furious.
Only then did they realize that the ban of the party only caused the two sides to have a common enemy and had to stand together. Once the common enemy softened their stance, the contradictions between the two sides were immediately exposed.
The terrifying face of the Jinwen school was instantly exposed, and no trace of warmth was left.
As a result, some of the wavering emotions that some prominent figures in the ancient literature school had because of their good personal relationships with some people in the modern literature school were wiped away.
The dove faction within the school originally did not want to completely break up with the modern literature school, but the cold reality told them that if they did not fight hard, the ancient literature school's hundreds of years of accumulation would be destroyed in one day.
The Modern Literature School voluntarily abandoned the possibility of cooperation between the two parties, forcing the Ancient Literature School to resist with all its strength.
So Lu Zhi and others began to meet the challenges from the court, while Liu Bei and other juniors could not sit back and watch success or failure, but also had to fight hard, cooperate with the actions of their elders in the academic field, and strive for a beautiful turnaround.
Because of the past habits of many young scholars in Luoyang City, a certain branch of the academic battlefield between the two sides was set up at Yuan Shao's mansion.
Therefore, Liu Bei used the banquet in Yuan Shao's mansion as a battlefield, and based on three articles written by Zheng Xuan, "Fa Mo Shou", "Acupuncture and Treatment", and "Qi Fei Ji", he launched an academic counterattack against the scholars of the Jinwen Confucian School who came to the banquet. .
This time's debate was not the kind of game-like debate in the past where everyone drank wine and listened to music, so Liu Bei brushed aside his modest and gentlemanly behavior that rarely led to consequences, and became very sharp and even revealed his sharp edge.
This debate between the two sides is basically a follow-up to the debate between He Xiu, the master of modern classics, and Zheng Xuan, the master of ancient classics.
Since the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, as social contradictions and contradictions within the ruling class have become increasingly acute, as well as the Jinwen school itself has continued to decline, Gongyang Chunqiu, which established academic officials, has gradually become less popular. The people have dismissed Gongyang and established Zuo's voice rose.
This voice prompted a debate between He Xiu and Zheng Xuan.
A few years ago, He Xiu and Zheng Xuan had a heated debate around "Gongyang Chunqiu" and "Zuo Shi Chunqiu". It seemed like they were debating Gongyang and Zuo Shi, and they seemed to be discussing who was the orthodox Confucian school and the disciple of Confucius and Saint. This is not the case.
It is not important whether the words of the Confucian saint were said, nor is it important whether it is Confucian orthodoxy. What is important is the political and economic interests behind the words "Confucian orthodoxy".
Therefore, this ultimate debate is actually a physical fight between modern classics and ancient classics. It is the pinnacle battle between the two schools of thought for political interests and right to speak.
To put it simply, it is the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng at the top of the Forbidden City.
He Xiu used the three articles "Gongyang Mo Shou", "Zuo Shi's Late Death" and "Gu Liang's Disability" as weapons of attack, and swung a big stick against the entire ancient classics school.
Zheng Xuan, on the other hand, fought back with three articles: "Fa Mo Shou", "Acupuncture Dying", and "Qi Fei Ji", wielding the scribe's sword to face the difficulties and face the powerful Jin Wen Jing school.
The two sides went back and forth, and the debate was extremely fierce, almost to the point of bayonets seeing red.
The final result was that He Xiu was speechless and said "Kang Cheng came into my room, wielded my spear, and attacked me", which was equivalent to agreeing that he could not refute Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Xuan achieved actual victory.
Although no one could tell the clear winner at that time and it was considered a tie, the people in the capital at that time respected Zheng Xuan as "Jingshen" and He Xiu as "Xuehai". Therefore, the outcome of this debate was decided by the world.
After the foundation laid by Liu Xin, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, Zheng Xuan and other predecessors, it is an indisputable fact that the Ancient Classics School replaced the Modern Classics School and became the academic mainstream of the Han Empire.
The Jin Wen Jing School is a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. It relies on its strong inertia to gain political advantage and uses its power to suppress the Ancient Wen Jing School.
However, this is already their last reliance. If this reliance is gone, the Jin Wen Jing School will be completely defeated and annexed by the Ancient Wen Jing School.
The entire Han Empire will also usher in a change in national-level ideological and theoretical guidance.
This is unbearable for them, and they will definitely struggle resolutely. It will definitely not be easy for the Ancient Classics School to replace the Modern Classics School.
As the driving force behind the intensification of the conflict between modern and ancient literature, Liu Bei read through Zheng Xuan's articles and received guidance from Zheng Xuan's classmate and teacher Lu Zhi, firming his position.
He used this as a weapon to launch a fierce debate with the aggressive Jinwen Jing school scholars who came to attack.
Under Yuan Shao's watch, within three days, Liu Bei continuously refuted thirty-seven scholars of the Jinwen Jing school, including three scholars of the Jinwen Jing school who had once tied with him. He was invincible and unbeatable. It can be stopped and shocked Luoyang.
Liu Bei's ability to debate scriptures was once again demonstrated. Under the attention of the entire Luoyang City, everything was seen through.
Thirty-seven opponents had nothing to say, and bowed and saluted to acknowledge defeat. Some even burst into tears on the spot, had a nervous breakdown, covered their faces and ran away in great embarrassment.
This kind of battle situation caused everyone to exclaim that the master of debate, Liu Xuande, has evolved again!
Liu Xuande was furious!
He is unstoppable!
