Chapter 861: Victory Day
After a while, after a debate, we had a clear advantage, and we couldn't resist the stubbornness for a long time. However, as it was approaching noon, we had to stand down for an hour. After a quick meal, in the afternoon, although some of the other party were still the group of people in the morning, they also joined a lot of new forces.
"...The Master said: 'Benevolence is beautiful. If you choose not to be kind, how can you know?' People should live in a place of benevolence and virtue. If you choose where you live without a place of benevolence and virtue, how can you be considered wise? Can't I understand this sentence clearly enough? If you think Xie's explanation is wrong, you might as well put forward your opinion." At this time, another person jumped out and said.
At this time, Wang Yifang stood up and chuckled: "I guess this little brother Xie hasn't read the "Justice of Confucius" edited by us?"
The younger brother Xie was stunned: "I have never seen it, but can I get it wrong?"
Wang Yizhu shook his head: "It's not wrong, but Brother Xie's explanation is not complete. There should be two ways to solve this sentence. Brother Xie only said one way to understand it. In "The Justice of Confucius", in addition to Brother Xie's explanation, there is another way. Wang was not talented, so he expressed his ugliness to you. The master said: "Only a person's heart is beautiful, and he cannot choose to be in the cultivation of "benevolence" with him. How can he be said to be smart?...
Wang Yifang's talk received cheers from the whole house. Brother Xie was defeated with a blushing face and sat in the crowd and dared not speak anymore. Uncle Li smiled more and more. Well, some people were unhappy. At least, Kong Yingda, Old Man Kong was also squatting on the top. His face was always gloomy, as if the whole world was his enemy.
It is the land, and there are many meanings in ancient times. There are more than one or even three or four explanations. Why does our team, a thin book of "The Analects of Confucius", as its model of interpretation, have at least several times the thickness of "The Analects of Confucius", and it took so long? It is because we have considered various thought patterns, and we have chosen the most appropriate explanation under the correct pronunciation. Of course, we have left other explanations and made accurate explanations.
------------------------------------------------
We are not saints, we only do this work conscientiously out of respect for the sages. This is what I want to tell them. Of course, the explanation that deliberately distorts and misunderstands the meaning of the sages. Those who are not suitable for social development and progress and adopt a negative attitude will naturally not be left behind.
Nowadays, in addition to official schools, there are clan studies within the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty. Think about it, these aristocratic families have been accumulated by the efforts of generations or even dozens of generations. Naturally, there are outstanding features among them. Not to mention other things, even the academics in their clans are all the elites in the clan who thought they were professors. Although they could not compare with the Chinese studies in Chang'an, they were better than the local official schools.
Although some of these aristocratic families are incompetent, there are definitely not a few people who are proficient in classical learning and often use poetry and essays. The poor, that is, those poor and humble families, even if they are talented, they are short of money to buy classics, or have no good teachers to teach them, and there is no one who can know or recommend them. Therefore, people who enter the government, family members, and noble children account for the majority. Even in the imperial examination system, they are just the heroes among them, but they cannot attract talented people in the world. This is the reason.
If Qujiang Academy becomes a successful person, at least the poor scholars in the world will have an additional place for learning and solving doubts. In addition, the academy will be in Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. This is the political center of the Tang Dynasty. If someone really gained fame in the academy, he will naturally have the merits of being close to the water.
It was still going on, but we were already at the upper hand, because the spears of the other party attacked were all broken, and our shields became brighter and brighter. However, after a day, the debate was almost just a few words. Moreover, there were still many people eager to try, but the sunset was already shining. If we continue to do this, we would probably not finish it even if we debated for several days.
Zheng Xuyou had to look at me with the helping eyes. Today, I had no words to stand up. After we answered our opponent's questions, we signaled Zheng Xuyou to ring the bronze bell. I cleared my throat and said loudly: "Seniors, colleagues and guests, we have been debating the scriptures here for almost a day, and we have received advice from you and have received a lot of help. But it is getting late, and today's debate will be abolished..."
Before I finished speaking, an impatient person suddenly jumped out: "No, the classics are not clear, how can you give up halfway? I hope Mr. Fang will not do this trick of being a terrible person, so as not to make laughs at the world."
After hearing this, I was almost angry and smoked. I was so angry that I was so angry that I was so angry that I was tired of living. Fortunately, Zheng Xuyou next to me gently pulled my sleeve: "Brother Jun."
"I'm not annoyed, I just think it's ridiculous." My voice became louder, and the little white really looked angry.
After that, I did not give him the chance to interrupt me again and continued: "Since all the wise men are so thoughtful, if Fang withdraws the forum like this, it is indeed as this little brother said, and it will make a laughing at the world. Therefore, Fang announced that the Qujiang Academy forum will continue to be held every ten-day holiday. Fang made a promise to you here: If the reason is not clear for a day, the Qujiang Academy forum will continue to be held. Haha, this little brother is so anxious, and I must have something to say. Fang has not spoken a word today, and he is also a little itchy. How about the conclusion of today's debate between you and me?"
"Uh, this..." This guy was stunned. My young master's eloquence has long been famous. Not to mention Chang'an, the entire Central Plains, and those families of well-informed Tang Dynasty families. Who doesn't know that Fang Er's mouth can match millions of soldiers? Just talk about the recent dispute with the Imperial College in Qujiang Academy. A month ago, he forcibly robbed more than one million yuan from Persia and Central Asian countries, and put on an enclave and a giant copper mine, which has long been spread throughout the world.
At the beginning of today, these challengers were trembling and asked me specifically, but they didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with me to avoid losing face. Unexpectedly, this little guy was rude and annoyed me and said such words.
The young young man was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time. The debaters next to him were also excited and cheerful, without any help. I couldn't help but shake my head and decided not to let the young young man get out of the stage anymore. I smiled gently and said, "Since this little brother has not yet figured out what the meaning of the debate is, then I can come back again next time. Today's grand event of the Qujiang Academy Forum, I announced that it will end here! The next issue will be held in ten days! I hope you will gather again and discuss the meaning of the scriptures of the ancestors with us. What do you think?"
------------------------------------------------
Sure enough, after hearing what I said, the audience, who was originally a little disappointed, suddenly shouted loudly, and the young man who was swallowed by me just now also showed a generous and tragic expression, saying that he must personally ask me for advice on the next time at the forum. I smiled on the surface of this young man, but in fact I was happy in my heart. I wanted to have a few more little guys to let this young master show his eloquence.
Solving doubts for others is my expertise, showing off is my hobby, and eloquence is my specialty. Although there is no necessary connection between the three, it proves that if you want to be a celebrity, especially an academic celebrity, you do not have these three important conditions. At most, you can only be a scientific researcher who is not famous and squat in a cage-like office.
However, there are also people who cherish each other, and everyone greeted each other, as if they were just quarreling, and they almost used the soles of their shoes to slap each other's faces, which was not like them. Well, in short, the atmosphere was quite harmonious when the show ended.
—
Finally, everyone dispersed one after another. I also relaxed and congratulated each other with Luo Binwang, Wang Yizhu and others. After all, we have defeated at least nearly a hundred challengers today, and we have all been defeated. We are worthy of being a team. The song "Unity is strength" is really true. The young heroes of the Another Heaven Sect.
The crowd was almost dispersed, Uncle Li and others walked up to the altar since they were on the attic. They smiled and said, "Son-in-law, today you are so kind to your words. I have been waiting for you for a day, hahaha..."
Chapter completed!
