"That's right, what's so damning is that someone has recently spread rumors that the Analects of Confucius can also be interpreted as "The Confucius of Confucius". You can die in the morning if you hear the Tao in the evening. In fact, if you know the way to your house in the morning, you will die in the afternoon. No gentleman. Being serious is not powerful. A gentleman cannot establish authority without being careful. In order to promote their standards, it is simply intolerable for them to misinterpret the Analects." Qiu Qingshan, who had been silent, said angrily.
This number seemed a bit familiar to Wang Yu, just like Hangzhou merchants who would deliberately look for inferior products for comparison when promoting their own products, but never tell which company the inferior products came from. Using new methods to promote original Confucianism, it turns out that Yun Jianming's previous losses were not in vain.
"I just said that what is the method of studying the Shang Shu Apocrypha? Maybe we can make a fuss about it." Wang Yu knew the title of the book before, but he had never read the content. When he was in Nanjing, he spent four hours a day dealing with government affairs, three hours studying new and miscellaneous subjects, two hours adapting to his physical interests, half an hour relaxing, and two and a half hours sleeping. I've been so busy all day that I don't have time to read such an unconventional thing.
"Let me tell you, we have also sorted it out, but there is nothing we can do. The book is divided into five methods: original evidence, circumstantial evidence, empirical evidence, continued evidence, and rational evidence. They can be applied to the Analects to clarify which ones are The true meaning of the sage, and which ones are far-fetched or distorted private thoughts by later generations when sorting out the words and deeds of the sage, are more likely to be the original meaning of the sage if they appear many times in the Analects and are mutually confirmed without contradiction. p>
The second is to see if the same content appears repeatedly in the poems, books, rituals, and music written by the sage. Now Shangshu suspects that it is a forgery, and the Shangshu was not included in the specific work here.
The third step is to look at other people’s evaluations and records of Confucius to see what content is consistent with the Analects. It fits. If it only appears in the Analects, but there is no record of Confucius’ actions, there is a possibility of forgery.
The fourth step is to see what the content of Confucius’ 72 disciples is. If the disciples don't emphasize it, it may be the forgery of some individuals. If many people insist on it, it must be the original intention of Confucius.
The fifth step is to see that a certain truth is more reliable than others. Are the principles in conflict with each other? If they conflict with each other and the reasoning does not make sense, it is likely to be a forgery added by later generations."
As Chu Wensheng's speech ended, King Yu became even more puzzled. Isn't this good?
Chu Wensheng looked at King Yu's puzzled expression and continued.
"Brother Yiyuan, I think you come from a noble family, unlike us who have been taking imperial examinations since childhood. In the two hundred years of imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty, the traditional questions have long been exhausted, and now they are all weird combinations The question is to select some uncommon words and phrases from the Five Classics and put them together to make the question. According to Yun Jianming, most of the uncommon words and phrases are forgeries. The imperial examinations in the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, at least from the late Yingzong Dynasty to the present, have been dedicated to it for more than a hundred years. I have been waiting for more than ten years to govern the country.Anbang's ideals are all based on fakery. Then what else can we do after learning Confucianism? Wouldn’t we be useless? "
"I don't think Yun Jianming told the truth, I just feel unwilling to do so. I was too stupid to think of this before. But is Yun Jianming really an original Confucian? Since predecessors can fake it, is it possible that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already found someone to systematically compile the Five Classics when he only respected Confucianism? If so, Yun Jianming obtained the absolute Not the original Confucianism of Confucius and Saints, but Han Confucianism. Thinking of this, Brother Yiyuan, you should understand why I gave up the imperial examination. Confucianism is dead. I will go to Hangzhou in the next year to see what the new learning is like. If there is a chance, even going to that economics university is not a bad idea. Go and see how the culprit who brought about all these changes will die clearly even if he dies. ”
Mr. Chu Wensheng said with a look of sorrow, and finally wanted to visit Hangzhou.
King Yu saw Chu Wensheng’s words and quickly followed. "Okay, the correct method does not mean the correct conclusion. There are also prerequisite assumptions and whether the facts are true or not. The five certificates of the original Confucianism may not necessarily represent correctness. The most critical key is why Confucianism cannot change. Things are easy in the world, so be prepared for changes when things are easy. If Confucianism remains unchanged, it will no longer be useful. We are expected to lament that Confucianism is dead. It is better to think about how Confucianism should change. This is more meaningful than answering whether Confucianism is what it is now or whether it is Confucianism. ”
King Yu’s words rekindled the fighting spirit of several people present. It was as if Confucianism had come alive again in everyone’s hearts. Please remember to bookmark it, and the latest and fastest website can be read for free without anti-theft
