Who is Gongsun Long?

This king is from Zhao State and the leader of the "famous scholars" among the hundreds of schools of thought in the Jixia Academy.

Most importantly, Gongsun Long had a classic sophistry recorded in historical books of history - "White Horse is Not Horse".

How strong is the "white horse not a horse"?

Relying on this "white horse is not a horse", Gongsun Long went to Jixia Academy to play a hall many years ago. There were many scholars and thousands of scholars in Jixia Academy that gathered the entire Chinese contemporary cultural elite at that time, but none of them could argue that Gongsun Long's theory of "white horse is not a horse". He could only watch Gongsun Long show off in a fancy way and then leave with a swagger.

From then on, Gongsun Long became famous all over the world! If it were about knowledge, then Gongsun Long might not be ranked.

But when it comes to debate, Gongsun Long's "white horse is not a horse" is an unstoppable weapon in this era! Everyone gasped and talked a lot.

“It’s impossible to win.”

"The problem of white horses not horses is probably a hundred years, no, and it may not be solved within three hundred years."

"Yes, I should have thought of it before."

Some active-minded people also began to come back to their senses: "You said, will this debate be formulated by the Empress Dowager to support Gongsun Long to take office?"

When many people heard this, they suddenly realized: "That's right! This way of debate is tailored for Gongsun Long."

These comments were very loud, and naturally they also reached the rostrum.

The Empress Dowager looked calm. She paid great attention to her demeanor and maintained dignity at all times.

Lin Xiangru pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Zhao Kuo, and showed a tricky smile.

Gongsun Long is a famous scholar in Zhao State for many years, so he naturally had a friendship with Lin Xiangru for decades.

This time, in order to eliminate Zhao Kuo's power, and in order to seize Xunzi's position as the high priest, the two hit it off.

Then Lin Xiangru offered advice to the Empress Dowager, asking the Empress Dowager to lead all the important officials of Zhao to the academy on the opening day celebration.

Everything was planned for this moment, just to let Gongsun Long defeat Xunqiu, who had always supported Zhao Kuo in public, and let Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo lose face! Xunqiu came to Zhao Kuo with a pale face and whispered: "Jun Hou, I am afraid that I will lose my face this time."

At this moment, Xuncun was filled with guilt. He also knew the plot of Lin Xiangru and others. He wanted to win, but... he couldn't win! If it were theoretical knowledge, Xuncun was not bragging at all, and he would not be afraid of anyone in the world.

However, the sophistry technique of "white horse is not a horse" was not solved by countless powerful people in the Jixia Academy back then, so Xunzi naturally couldn't do it either! Many eyes were focused on Xunzi and Zhao Kuo, with hope and encouragement, but more of them were gloating! Whether it was Zhao Kuo or Xunzi, they stood at the top of their respective fields for too long, which brought them countless glory, and at the same time brought them countless jealousy and hatred.

Some people are still trying to argue: "Wu Xinjun's wisdom and plan are unparalleled in the world, and he will definitely come up with a way to solve this white horse but not a horse!"

Then this sentence was immediately ruthlessly ridiculed: "Wu Xinjun's power is a war, and this white horse is not a debate. Does it have anything to do with the war?"

Whether it was Xunzi or Zhao Kuo's supporters, they were extremely silent at this moment.

Only Zhao Kuo was still very calm.

Zhao Kuo looked at Xunqiu with a helpless look on his face and suddenly smiled: "Xunqing, who said you will lose?"

Xunqiu was stunned when he heard this.

Although Zhao Kuo's voice was not loud, the platform was not loud either, so his words also clearly reached the ears of other people in the platform, making others look at each other.

Lin Xiangru couldn't help laughing: "Wu Xinjun really thinks he can argue that 'white horse is not a horse', right?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru and said calmly: "What's the difficulty?"

A low burst of laughter rang out on the platform.

In everyone's opinion, Zhao Kuo is just stubborn! Even the empress dowager who has been trying hard to maintain dignity also has a slightly raised corner of her mouth.

I have to say that the Queen Mother enjoys this feeling very much.

Wu Xinjun, you can't do anything but be stubborn! Of course, this sentence was heard in Gongsun Long's ears, which made Gongsun Long sneer: "Wu Xinjun's words are really interesting.

Let’s do this. If Wu Xinjun can refute my husband’s theory of “white horse is not a horse”, then I will admit defeat on the spot, and Xun Qing can still serve as the high priest!”

Gongsun Long deliberately made the voice louder, which was directly heard by most people in the square.

The next moment, everyone was in an uproar again.

"It's over, Wu Xinjun is going to be slapped in the face this time."

"Oh, Wu Xinjun is my idol, I really don't want to see this scene."

"Hmph, this story tells us a truth: Never make a big splash in a field you don't understand, otherwise you can only humiliate yourself like Wu Xinjun!"

Amid everyone's concerns, concerns and sarcasm, Zhao Kuo slowly stood up.

"Gongsun Long, you are causing your own humiliation.

Since that's the case, then Benhou will satisfy you!"

Gongsun Long laughed, his beard under his jaw jumped everywhere, and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, please!"

Everyone calmed down and stared at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo spoke up in the eyes of thousands of people.

"We usually say that 'white horse is a horse', but in fact we are saying 'white horse belongs to a horse'. The 'yes' here means 'belonging'.

However, the public argument that the dragon argues that "the white horse is not a horse" is not a argument that "the white horse does not belong to a horse", but rather that "the white horse is not the same as a horse".

Gongsun Long, you used this place to change the concept and let everyone mislead the "white horse is not a horse"! To put it simply, you can regard horses as a collection and white horses as a subset.

A collection (horse) contains a subset (white horse), but a subset (white horse) is not the same as a collection (horse).

You are using your tricks to deceive others, and you want to deceive this marquis?

You are too far away!”

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the entire square fell into silence for a moment.

The Queen Mother was completely confused.

She found that she could understand what Zhao Kuo said, but when she put it together, she didn't know what Zhao Kuo wanted to express.

So the Empress Dowager subconsciously turned her gaze to Gongsun Long.

Gongsun Long's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.

Gongsun Long has always been extremely conceited, feeling that no one can break his "white horse is not a horse" theory in this era.

But today, Zhao Kuo clearly exposed Gongsun Long in front of everyone! A scream suddenly sounded: "I understand, so that's it, so that's it!"

The other man slapped his thigh and smiled, "I said why this white horse is not a horse and cannot be refuted. It turns out that he played this kind of text game that secretly changed the meaning of the word!"

"I thought this white horse was nothing great, but that's it, but that's it!"

"Wu Xinjun is so powerful that he actually cracked the theory of "Bao horse"!!!"

The surging screams suddenly echoed throughout the square.

Since Gongsun Long's rise, the "white horse is not a horse" theory that has left the entire academic community in China for decades has been completely broken today!
