After Ziyou finished writing the enlightenment work that he had remembered in his mind and had been deleted by himself, he stood up and moved around. After Ziyou left, others immediately gathered around Ziyou's table. Everyone scrambled to look at what Ziyou had written. Lu Buwei hugged Fusu and did not stop the scene. He was also curious about what Ziyou was writing.
""Disciple Rules"? The sage's teachings are to be filial and loyal first, to be sincere in faith, to love all people, to be kind, and to have enough energy." A person started to read the paper with the disciple rules written on it. The more he read, the more frightened he became. This short In just a few simple sentences, the Confucian concept of human beings, morality, and daily life is explained clearly and easily.
The people around were also shocked by these words. One of them took the "Three Character Classic" and started reading it.
"The Three-Character Classic states that in the beginning, human beings are inherently good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The most important thing to teach is to be specialized." When these words came out, the people around were equally shocked, because this was another popular book of Yi. I understand Confucian classics, and they contain too many things, including literature, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography, human ethics, loyalty, filial piety, justice, etc. The same core ideas are also Confucian, and they are also easy to understand and catchy. .
While everyone was shocked, someone else read "The Thousand-Character Essay"
""The Thousand Character Classic", the sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is ancient. The sun and the moon are full, and the stars and constellations are arranged. The cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvests and the winter stores. The leap year is full, and the law Lu adjusts the sun."
As the sound of reading echoed in the hall, everyone was numb with shock. There was only one thought in their hearts, what kind of monster was Ziyou? He had written three books that could be called classics in a short period of time.
This "Thousand Character Classic" contains more and broader things, starting from the creation of heaven and earth. With the heaven and earth, there are the sun, moon, stars, clouds and rain, frost and fog, and the changes in the four seasons of cold and heat; the second part focuses on the standards and principles of human cultivation, that is, self-cultivation, and the third part talks about various matters related to governance. aspect issues. It describes the rich classics and a large number of talents gathered in Xianyang today. Finally, he does not forget to draw a big pie and talk about the vastness of Qin's future territory and the beauty of the scenery: The fourth part mainly describes the tranquil pastoral life and praises those People who are willing to be lonely and not fettered by fame and fortune yearn for the warm human kindness among the people.
In particular, "The Thousand Character Classic" seems to them to be not only a Confucian classic, but also includes ideas from many other sects, such as Taoism, farming, etc., and even Mohism can be seen.
"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good." When everyone was shocked, Fusu read out the beginning based on his own impression.
Lu Buwei, who was holding Fusu, suddenly lowered his head and looked at Fusu. He seemed to understand the purpose of Ziyou's three works. A three-year-old child could remember some of the sentences after listening to them, which is enough to show how clear these sentences are. It’s catchy. Let’s not talk about the impact of these on hundreds of schools. Just talk about the issue of education. It is simply a sacred object of enlightenment for children. Lu Buwei thought of what Ziyan said about establishing a heart for the world, establishing a destiny for the people, and continuing the unique learning for the saints. , to open the way to peace for all generations. These three parts may seem to have nothing to do with this, but they are closely related to the first two.
Ziyou stood at the door and looked at the people who were standing around his desk and chairs and coughed lightly. These people suddenly came back to their senses and saw Ziyou at the door. They immediately put down the paper in their hands and saluted Ziyou.
"Okay, how about you guys read these three classics?" Ziyou asked, looking at everyone.
"Master Wang's talent is not something we can evaluate." Everyone said with a wry smile, asking them to evaluate the classics that can be passed down for hundreds of generations. Do you really think they are all sages like Xunzi?
"If a gentleman can listen to words like a ring, and do good deeds like a stream, he will be in Annan Mountain, where the pines and cypresses are flourishing, and his voice will vibrate gold and stone. He will be famous for thousands of years. This is just what I just wrote. There must be some problems in it. Feel free to say, this It’s not an evaluation, it’s just your own opinion, or if you think there’s anything in it that’s not enough, you can tell me, and I’ll revise it later.” Ziyou pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
Lu Buwei looked at everyone and said
"Even if you tell me directly, nothing will happen to you sir. Today is our private comment and will not be spread out."
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. In Ziyou’s expectant eyes, everyone expressed their opinions. Some people thought that the content was too little. Is it possible to include all the ideas of Baijia? Others said that there were some places in it. It didn't rhyme enough, and it read a bit stiffly. I told myself what I thought was better, and everyone expressed their opinions. Everyone agreed that this was a classic that could be passed down for generations.
Lu Buwei waved his hand and signaled everyone to continue working. Then everyone calmed down and continued working, but the smiles on everyone's faces could not be hidden. Ziyou said that his work would be revised later. If the opinions they just mentioned were If they adopt it, they will have something to brag about in this life. Not only this life, but also their own sons and grandchildren will have something to brag to others for the rest of their lives.
Ziyou and Lu Buwei walked into the inner room, and Lu Buwei said straight to the point.
"Sir, do you want to use these three classics as enlightenment books for children?"
"Yes, it is unbelievable to let a three-year-old child learn "Zhuangzi"." Ziyou said what he was thinking. He might not even understand "Zhuangzi", so let a three-year-old child learn Zhuangzi. Isn't that nonsense?
Lu Buwei saluted Zi Xuan and said
"This gift is a token of gratitude for the people of Qin State."
"You're welcome, Marquis Wenxin, this is just what I should do." Ziyou helped Marquis Wenxin up and said, "Do you think there is anything wrong with it?"
"Ask me rather ask those doctors, they are more proficient in this field." Lu Buwei said. In order to recruit and cultivate talents, Qin State followed the example of Jixia Academy and established a doctoral system, allowing some wise men who are proficient in classics to serve as Doctors came to make up for Qin's cultural deficiencies. However, because Qin was initially considered a barbarian country, and its culture was more utilitarian, not many people were willing to become doctors, and most of them were Confucian disciples.
Ying Zheng also sent people to visit the wise men from hundreds of families, hoping that they could come to Qin, but except for a few, there were none. Later, because of Zi You, Gongsun Bai brought famous people to Qin, and some famous people came to Qin. The wise men came to the Qin State, and some Taoists also came down the mountain to the Qin State. There were very few others. For example, the Qin Mo family and the Kan Yu family were both more practical. Apart from placing their classics in the library, they did not have any Those who are proficient in their own scriptures serve as doctors.
"Yes, I'll go ask them right now." Ziyou went out to collect the papers and then went to the library. Since there were only a few doctors and they all liked to spend time in the library, they simply set up one near the library. In the school, these doctors taught the princes of the clan and those who were recommended to study in the inner room.
The inner chamber was a place set up by the Qin State to study classics.
There will be another chapter at noon tomorrow, and I suddenly discovered that Riwan is my favorite.
