There is another more confusing theory after that, which is about the theory of Zhouyi. Even in later generations, many people have been advocating that the Zhouyi contains all the truths of the universe, but the more they say this, the more often they have not even read the Zhouyi.
I superficially thought that von Neumann and others mentioned that the Yin and Yang in the Book of Changes imply the 1 and 0 in computers, and that the Book of Changes can really explain all things.
The most fearful thing is this kind of people who don't understand and pretend to understand. They seem to be exalting Zhou Yi, but in fact, they are belittling Zhou Yi.
It can be said that such people are either stupid or bad. Either he is really stupid, or he knows what is going on and is deliberately cheating on Zhou Yi.
Make Zhou Yi baffled
"I have endured a burden that I shouldn't have to bear." After the article was published, titled "A New Explanation of Unfounded Worries" and subtitled "Why China is Behind in Science", it immediately stirred up waves with one stone.
No one would believe someone else who wrote this kind of article, but Li Yu’s current scientific achievements are too loud. The key is his reputation as a foreign academician of the Royal Society and a member of the American Astronomical Society, which has to be carefully scrutinized.
In other words, it’s quite sad when you think about it: you can only rely on the reputation of other countries, such as the Royal Society, to make everyone believe in you.
Fortunately, Li Yu is not a corrupt scholar. He is a person who has grown up in modern society, especially the Internet era. He still understands the principles of tact.
If this identity is useful, it will be useless if you don’t use it! Soon, almost everyone in the country who participated in the establishment of the new school had seen what Li Yu had written, and various discussions were endless.
A large group of imperial examination groups represented by Gu Hongming, who supported the old learning, madly attacked Li Yu. There was no need to read the rest of Li Yu's article, because their skill was to pick out words. After all, they grew up through the poison of stereotyped writing. of.
Their point of criticizing Li Yu is simple: How could the ancients be wrong? How could the sages be wrong? ! You actually oppose the classics of the era of Confucius during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. It is simply treason, yes, it is treason!
Gu Hongming directly scolded him in the newspaper: "Little Li Yu, how can a person who has failed in Confucian classics understand "Lieh Zi"? Yet he is talking nonsense, speaking without shame, and has no shame! You are still worrying about new interpretations, and you are mocking us for picking out words. Aren't you picking out words too?" Gu Hongming is a master of sophistry, and it is really difficult to deal with a few points. Li Yu does not understand Confucian classics, and it is impossible to have actually read "Lieh Zi". He only studied it in school. to limited classical Chinese content.
Moreover, Gu Hongming knew that Li Yu was weak in classics.
The handle of "little braid". Li Yu said that many Confucian scholars were plucking words. Gu Hongming immediately used this to say that Li Yu was plucking words.
These two moves are both brilliant moves in terms of sophistry. It’s no wonder that the elders of the later New Culture Movement often knew that Gu Hongming was sophistry and secretly admitted that his talent could not be concealed.
It's a pity that the cleverness is a little bit in the wrong place. Of course, the progress of the times develops in the collision of this kind of thinking. Without people like Gu Hongming who are picky about eggs, there is really a lot less flavor. When a dish is fried, it will lose a little bit of color.
In addition to Gu Hongming, there are many people who are fiercely refuting Li Yu, especially the scholars and examiners in major academies. Although the imperial examination will be abolished in two years, it has not been abolished yet, so most scholars still regard the imperial examination as The greatest chance of getting ahead.
The imperial examination tests classics and ancient books. Of course, Li Yu cannot accept their scolding of their housekeeping theory.
This is good. Li Yu originally wanted to use the most classic example to explain the truth. But the truth is explained clearly, but people don’t even look at your logic!
I won’t reason with you at all. Anyway, saying that the sages were wrong is wrong and is against the rules. Li Yu understood that the most important person was Gu Hongming. To capture the thief first, capture the king. He could only be held down, otherwise he would be driven crazy by tens of thousands of talented people.
"Internet violence". However, since it is a rebuttal, we can use some Western figures, and it is best to bring them up now.
"Shen Shen" reporter Shi Liangcai hurriedly found Li Yu: "Sir, please think of a solution quickly, my newspaper is about to explode now." Li Yu asked: "What's going on?" Shi Liangcai said: "Everyone They are all holding Liezi and want you to explain the annotations in it, otherwise they will publish an apology in the newspaper." Fortunately, the unfounded story comes from Liezi. This ancient book is regarded as a Taoist classic. If it came from Confucianism, I am afraid that these people It's time to find Li Yu with a stick.
Li Yu said calmly: "Don't be nervous." Shi Liang was on Li Yu's side, but now he said anxiously: "You are in trouble this time. Even if you want to warn the world, you shouldn't offend. Scholar! You didn't write like this before. When did you like to quote scriptures so much?" Li Yu said with a smile: "I don't know many classic allusions. Besides, they are scholars, and I am also a scholar." Shi Liangcai said: " You?" Li Yu said: "Yes, is it true that only those who read the Four Books and Five Classics are called scholars, and studying science is not a scholar?" Shi Liangcai sighed: "I'm afraid in their eyes, it's really not that." This kind of thing The concept will really not change for a while. It will be better after the imperial examination system is abolished, because those who only pursue fame have no way out.
Of course, this has led to many social problems, but the general trend is that there is no way around it. Li Yu said: "Tell them, I am also a scholar. At least I can recite a few Tang poems and Song lyrics. A merchant girl does not know the hatred of losing her country..." Shi Liangcai interrupted Li Yu: "I said Brother Shucai! Why are you still there? Are you joking with me? You really can't offend scholars. You may not understand. Anyone who knows history knows that you can't offend scholars. Even Emperor Qin and Han Wu didn't end well." Shi Liangcai was really worried about Li Yu. The situation, and Qin Shihuang and Han Wu Emperor were indeed criticized verbally and writtenly for offending scholars.
Especially Qin Shihuang, who was scolded for more than two thousand years. A man who originally made great achievements was scolded and turned into an eternal tyrant.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Shi Liangcai to say that scholars cannot be offended. But of course Li Yu is also a scholar! Counting it all together, people who started primary school at the age of six have been studying for nearly 20 years. Ancient people said
"Studying hard for ten years in the cold window", I am almost twenty years old, so I am not qualified enough. Li Yu smiled and said: "I know, no, the apology letter has been written." Li Yu gave a manuscript to Shi Liangcai.
Shi Liangcai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, a person who understands current affairs is... Hey! What are you writing?!" Li Yu said, "Just send it out like this." Shi Liangcai said, "But... This..." Li Yu said resolutely: "No problem, I won't change a word." Shi Liangcai had no choice but to publish his exact words in the newspaper: "Mr. Gu Hongming can be regarded as a master of Chinese and Western knowledge. People, I think you must have heard of the Western sages. Aristotle, the great Western sage, was about the same age as our Confucius, and he can definitely be regarded as one of the highest-level sages in the West. Even he was Galli If the error is proved by a simple test with an iron ball, how can we say that the sages were not wrong? Moreover, even Aristotle himself said this: I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more. He himself is generous. I admit it, so the sages also made mistakes. As for Mr. Gu saying that I don’t understand Confucian classics, I admit it; but I have to ask, does Mr. Gu understand science? I have been talking about science throughout the article. Which sentence is wrong? I Have you solved the half-cost problem for Mr. Gu again? Or if I give Mr. Gu another math or physics problem, if you can solve it, I will admit that I was wrong. Otherwise, you, a person who does not understand science, What qualifications do you have to say that I am talking nonsense? Since you don’t understand science and criticize me, isn’t it just talking nonsense? The two of us are like turtles biting bastards - our own family members don’t know their own family members." Li Yu has experienced it anyway. I never had the chance to use my Internet trolling skills before. Now that I have finally caught Gu Hongming, I can’t let him go.
Cai Yuanpei burst out laughing at Li Yu's last words: "The tortoise bites the tortoise, hahaha! You are so funny!" Li Yu also laughed and said, "I have said before that those who dare to laugh at themselves are not afraid. Being ridiculed. Whoever scolds me again in the future will be a bastard." Cai Yuanpei gave a thumbs up: "High, really high!" Then he asked: "If I don't scold you, who agrees with you, like me ." Li Yu said: "Then sir, you can drink my turtle soup. It is rich in nutrients and can strengthen your body." Cai Yuanpei smiled from ear to ear: "This is obviously the golden sauce turtle soup of yours, it is very nourishing!" Yu said: "I just don't know if Mr. Gu can drink it."
