Chapter 62 Nine Songs Prelude

"I'm finally finished writing." Lu Yan blew the ink, put down the pen, and stretched.

"Young Master, what kind of article is this that shocking the world? You have been busy for this article for almost a year." Gu Shuang took the book in Lu Yan's hand and neatly packed the other messy materials.

"This is a collision of thoughts that spans thousands of years." Lu Yan looked at this manuscript and felt like he was a different world.

"On Life in the World", a set of discussions on the relationship between man and the world, is divided into two levels and three stages of development.

Two levels:

First, "harmony between man and nature", and man and the world are connected and integrated. This is also the most mainstream idea in the world. Second, the subject and object are divided into two parts, that is, the person is separated and opposed to the world, taking man as the subject and the world as the object, and man can achieve unity between man and nature by understanding the world.

Three stages of development:

1. "The unity of man and nature in the relationship between subject and object". If you do not pay attention to distinguishing subject and object, you will not recognize the subject's understanding and dominance of object, and do not pay attention to epistemology and methodology, which is not conducive to the development of science. In ancient my country's ancient science (science, not technology) is not very developed due to many influences of economy and politics, but this mainstream thought also has a significant relationship. This idea is also the mainstream thought of the hundreds of schools of thought at this time.

2. "Subject and object are two parts". It clearly separates and opposes the subject and object, exerts the subjectivity of human beings, actively understands the world, grasps the objective laws of the world, and achieves the unity of the subject and object. This is a great progress in modern philosophy in ancient times. It is greatly conducive to the development of science.

3. "The unity of man and nature in the relationship between subject and object". The relationship between subject and object is not abandoned, but also attaches importance to the perception of the integration of man and the world, which is even more transcendent than the second.

This has taken two major steps to transcend the current idea of ​​unity between man and nature, which originally took thousands of years to complete.

This can be said to be Lu Yan's hard work in this world, because many of the philosophical theories from the West cannot be described at all. Lu Yan must explain them in detail in this article bit by bit, which gradually developed from the beginning to a set of theoretical discourses.

This is the crystallization of the thoughts of countless philosophers and ancestors over thousands of years. Even if Lu Yan writes the article, he will exhaust himself.

Without Xunzi's teachings, without Wuming's death, touching Lu Yan, and without the support of Confucian classics, Lu Yan would not dare to write at all.

That is why it is said that this is a collision of thousands of years of thoughts and a collision of Eastern and Western philosophy. When the Taoist dispute between heaven and man is approaching, it has attracted the attention of various schools of thought. Lu Yan took advantage of the popularity to issue this set of treatises, and it can be foreseeable what kind of uproar will be caused.

If the "Three Character Classic" is to make its own reputation in the world and reap the favorability of a hundred schools of thought; then "On Life in the World" will become a huge driving force that promotes Lu Yan to become "Lu Zi".

"Sister Ju Shuang, send it to the teacher. Forget it, I'd better send it to me in person." Lu Yan tidied up this systematic treatise and prepared to go and read it to Xunzi.

Walking in the corridor, the willows on both sides are graceful and the clear water is wafting, which makes Lu Yan, who has been obsessed with writing books, take a deep breath.

"Junior brother? Is this a masterpiece for the teacher?"

A young man in gray cloth, carrying a luggage on his body and a slightly heavy face, ran into Lu Yan and asked.

"Senior Brother Li Si, are you going to go far?" Lu Yan was puzzled when he saw Li Si's outfit.

"I can't compare to my junior brother's talent and magicality. Li Si has nowhere to learn and is ready to try his luck in the world." Li Si always seems to be so modest in his speech, but there is always a sense of hostility that makes Lu Yan feel uncomfortable.

"It's already this time~" Lu Yan saw Li Si say this and knew that he was going to go out to Qin to become an official. Similarly, Han Fei should go back to South Korea.

"My junior brother once said that the knowledge on paper is always shallow, and Li Si also wants to find a place to practice what he has learned in his heart."

"Qin State?"

"It's true that the most powerful country in the world may have the soil for me to take root under such a roof."

"You will definitely succeed. The journey to Qin State is long, so be careful."

"Thank you for your good words, Li Si said goodbye." Li Si bowed and said goodbye, and took a step out of the Little Saint Sage Village, where Han Fei was waiting for him.

Lu Yan, Li Si and Han Fei, as fellow brothers, looked down and saw each other. Of course, the system also had a task to issue, but Lu Yan chose to refuse.

First, because he has been busy studying and studying over the years; second, whether it is the practice scroll, ten thousand hours of training, and Yijin Dan, every time he encounters a life-and-death level, the props of the system always come just right, and he doesn't know what attitude he should treat this system. Third, Lu Yan's internal skills have returned to his previous level, and his swordsmanship has made more progress, and he no longer needs to rely on the system.

Lu Yan looked at Li Si's back as he was leaving, shook his head and went to Xunzi's residence.

...

"Well~ You are going to build a system. I can see that there are still many gaps in it that you need to fill in your life." Xunzi looked at the book in his hand, nodded and said to Lu Yan a little.

"What the teacher said is that the disciples were mentally prepared."

As a research topic for thousands of years, life cannot end so simply. The spiritual development, realm and culture of people associated with it needs to be continuously filled in. Lu Yan is trying to establish a complete theoretical system in this era with his own strength.

"This is an unprecedented path. Even Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi, in the first stage you mentioned, what you will bear will be far more than what you have obtained."

Xunzi's words did not have any joy or anger, no praise or criticism, but they actually pointed out the difficulties that Lu Yan would face.

The ways of Confucius and Mencius and Laozi and Zhuangzi are just the first layer of this system. Who dares to comment on your ancestors like this? Lu Yan will suffer various questions from various schools of thought, and Confucianism is no exception.

However, this is an era when flowers bloom, and no theory can rule the world. True celebrities will absorb the excellent achievements of others and make continuous progress. Those old stubborn people will be eliminated sooner or later. If it were later dynasties, Lu Yan would definitely be criticized by everyone.

The idea of ​​unity between man and nature cannot be said to be wrong, but after this set of ideas becomes mainstream, the suppression of human nature will become an inevitable development trend. It took us thousands of years to break this alienated and blocked idea in the past life, and we have already lagged far behind the West on the road of science.

What Lu Yan needs to do is to solve this problem from the root, and then rely on a strong and unified country, use the rule of law to make it standardized and prosperous, use education to enable people to gradually understand science, use science to point out the direction of progress, and let people all over the world truly be liberated from the troubled times.

When he wandered through the ocean of classics, experienced the influence of countless ancestors, and walked alone in the thoughts of the East and the West, recalling the various hardships of the nations in this land in his previous life, the ideal of "establishing one's mind for the heaven and earth, establishing one's destiny for the living people, inheriting one's unique knowledge for the past sages, and opening up peace for all ages" truly took root in his heart.

"Teacher, I'll be asking for help, even though I've died nine times, I'll never regret it." Lu Yan bowed to Xunzi.

"You are here to say goodbye, too."

"The disciple has found the opportunity to practice his ideal."

"Oh~ I am at this age. When I see you and Han Fei, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster~"

"Han Fei..."
