Chapter 299 Starting from Changing the Name(1/2)
Without watching the barrage, Wang Shifeng also knew that after he put forward this point of view.
It will definitely be subject to a lot of complaints and doubts.
"I'm not saying that Sun Wukong is Confucius, but Sun Wukong is the microcosm or the core of the entire Confucianism. Everyone knows that Sun Wukong was imprisoned by the Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years. This 500 number should not be written casually.
Because in Confucian culture, five hundred is a very representative number.
"Mencius Gongsun Chou" says that in five hundred years, there will be a king's rise, and in the meantime, there will be a famous world. Sima Qian also wrote in "Preface to Records of the Grand Historian" that Duke Zhou died at the age of 500 and Confucius died at the age of 500, and Shao Ming was regarded as Confucius' successor.
Leng Zhi, Sima Qian's teacher was the great Confucian Fusheng, the successor of the Shangshu, Sima Qian was an orthodox Confucian scholar. There was a blank period from Sima Qian to Zhu Xi. In the past thousand years, it was the time when the land of the Central Plains of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties fell, Buddhism invaded, and Confucianism and Taoism merged.
In other words, this thousand years was the most dangerous thousand years of Confucian status. The dominance of Confucianism was eroded by metaphysics and Buddhism, and was deeply influenced, so it was almost cut off.
Sun Wukong, who went to the West to obtain the scriptures, appeared at this node. What's even better is that Sun Wukong was born with a stone monkey with extraordinary background, but first entered Taoism and then turned to Buddhism. This implies that since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of Confucianism has been questioned and attacked.
So much so that we had to rely on the sudden rise of Taoist metaphysics first, because in a sense, Confucianism and Taoism were not divided, but since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperity of Buddhism had to force Confucianism to turn again.
That's why there was only 19981 when the West obtained the true scriptures. The period of Confucianism symbolized by Sun Wukong was inherited and continued to Zhu Xi of the Song and Ming Neo-Confucianism. Within 500 years after Zhu Xi, Wang Shouren appeared, until the last Zeng Guofan.
Therefore, in the Confucian system, every five hundred years, a stunning Confucian scholar will appear to continue the Confucian tradition. No matter what kind of hardships the Confucian scholar suffered during the period, it will eventually be revived.
And Sun Wukong is the epitome of all Confucian scholars in this dark thousand years of Confucianism. If you read the complete text, you will find that Sun Wukong's behavior has strong Confucian characteristics.
Gong Yang, who is vengeful, has a chivalrous spirit of speaking out of righteousness, and has a forbearance of self-restraint and regaining rituals. Even if millions of people are calm, all Sun Wukong's actions on the way to obtain the scriptures can see the core of Confucianism.
So many times, everyone will find that Tang Monk, who represents Buddhism, is far less clear than Sun Wukong's perspective on some issues. That is not Sun Wukong's Buddhist connection, but Confucianism's deeper interpretation of Chinese civilization after being compatible with Buddhism."
Wang Shifeng's face was solemn, and his words were solemn, like nails, drilled into the minds of all the audiences.
So much so that they felt outrageous, they were convinced by Wang Shifeng.
Ah, this is reasonable and well-founded, and it seems that the analysis is very well-established.
If these are all metaphors, then the value of this famous work is really real.
Moreover, in the face of Wang Shifeng's interpretation, Luo Siyao was full of confusion.
Can you still interpret this from this perspective?
If Wu Chengen hadn't asked you for a dream, then you would have been a little too ambitious...
"It's far-fetched." Luo Siyao couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
Wang Shifeng smiled but said nothing, and the audience came to their senses and whispered.
"It may not be far-fetched, maybe it is a new angle." Liang Feifan suddenly spoke, interrupting the noisy among the audience.
"Even if you don't look at these evidences, as an orthodox Confucian scholar, Wu Chengen's articles cannot be without the shadow of Confucian culture. Even if his interpretation of Buddhism and Taoism is profound,
It is impossible to erase the influence of Confucianism, because these three religions have indeed been integrated with each other for a thousand years. You have me and I have you. After all, Confucianism is best at embracing all rivers,"
Even an authority like Liang Feifan personally recognized it, and all the audience's doubts were instantly wiped out, turning into deep admiration for Wang Shifeng.
‘Damn it, I was pretended to be by Teacher Wang again.’
‘Hiss, it’s worthy of being Teacher Wang so terrifying. Is there anything he can’t do?’
‘There is indeed some truth. After all, as a monk in the book, Tang Monk was too loyal, patriotic, respectful, benevolent, and filial, and instead was not as empty as Buddhist.’
‘The most annoying those who say that the over-interpretation of classic works is that although Wu Chengen failed, he must be literary after marrying the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
And it took several years to finish "Journey to the West", which must have been carefully considered and thoughtful, at least more rigorous than the online author who updated thousands or tens of thousands of words every day.’
‘I don’t understand anything else. I am convinced of Teacher Wang’s knowledge reserves. I can tell you everything.
‘Professor Wu is so strange. Before, Teacher Wang was unhappy in traditional literature. Now Teacher Wang is holding traditional literature, he is unhappy again. What exactly does he want?’
‘Professor Wu jumped up and down like the king of Wuji Kingdom who had appeared...’
Wang Shifeng smiled and shook his head: "Professor Wu thinks I am far-fetched, and I have no choice. I can only say that at least there are many hints of terrifying thoughts hidden in the "Journey to the West" I read."
Luo Siyao's mouth twitched.
What do you mean?
Are you mocking me for not understanding "Journey to the West"?
I have been familiar with it since I was six years old!
Reading time is longer than you are alive!
Before Luo Siyao got angry, Wang Shifeng continued
"I'll give you another example. Sun Wukong's weapon is the Golden Cudgel. Everyone knows that this weapon was the magic weapon when you Dayu controlled the flood. It was used to stabilize the world.
However, in the Confucian system, Dayu is an existence with a special status and even some controversy. When it comes to the sage king, Yao and Shun are the first to bear the brunt of it. Dayu rarely uses Dayu as an example, mainly because Dayu ended the abdication system appreciated by Confucianism and changed it to the inheritance system. This change directly affects the human race's century-old plan.
The four magic needles for sea stabilizing also mean the existence of stabilizing the orthodox nature of imperial power. The meaning of Sun Wukong can use one of them is self-evident.
Moreover, the Dinghai Shen Needle weighs 13,500 kilograms, which corresponds to a person who can breathe 13,500 times a day.
Zhu Bajie's Nine-Toothed Rake and Sha Monk's Demon-Subduing Staff were both 5,048 kilograms, and there were a total of 5,048 volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the West, because the journey to obtain the scriptures for fourteen years was 5,048 days in total.
Wukong, enlightenment, enlightenment. "Wu" is separated and said, "I" and "heart", which represent one's own heart.
Wukong means that my mind is empty. When I realize it, it means that my mind is able. When I realize it, it means that my mind is pure. If the names of three people are arranged and combined, my mind is empty, or if my mind is empty, it means that my mind is pure.
Tathagata said that the Xiniu Hezhou where he is: he is not greedy or kill, nourishes qi and hidden spirit, although he is supreme, everyone can live a life. Tathagata also said that the Nanzhanbu Continent where Tang Monk is located is greedy for silver and happy about disasters, kills more and fights more. As the saying goes, the evil field of right and wrong sea of right and wrong.
However, 65 of the 81 difficulties experienced by Tang Monk to obtain the scriptures occurred in Xiniu Hezhou.
In the 13th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang sent Tang monks to the West to obtain scriptures.
Xiangliang has 13 warehouses of gold and silver in the underworld, and Baihua is ashamed to be captured by the yellow-robed monster to the demon cave for 13 years.
The little white dragon poured out wine as high as a pagoda for the yellow-robed monster. The pagoda that Tang Monk swept in Jinguang Temple was 13 floors high.
After Zhen Yuanzi sent Tang Seng and his disciples away, there were 13 ginseng fruits left in the yard. If Professor Luo thought I was far-fetched, that would be it."
Wang Shifeng smiled again, but his little mouth was like a machine gun and it was outputting wildly.
Not only did the audience say it stunned.
Even Luo Siyao was speechless when he heard this, and he had only one thought in his heart.
Is there a possibility that Wu Chengen really gave this kid a dream?
Otherwise, there is no reason why a person can study a book like this.
You won’t be without your surname Wang, you’re the surname Liu!
"It's interesting, so interesting. As expected, from a young man's perspective, it's different from us old guys. In the past, everyone said that a dream of the Red Mansion will ruin your life. From now on, Journey to the West will also be a waste of time."
Liang Feifan laughed loudly, and his laughter was a little deafening after amplifying through the microphone.
It is hard to imagine a centenarian who can laugh so happily.
Luo Siyao's face was covered in sour color, and his back teeth were almost broken.
He secretly scolded Zheng Qiu for being inaccurate. This kid was not a rebellious elementary school student, he was simply a small silver coin full of knowledge.
You know traditional culture so well, why do you still belittle our jobs?
"Today I have really made me more knowledgeable. Sure enough, there are people who have come out of the country. We immortals are indeed useless."
Liang Feifan muttered like a self-deprecating voice, which scared Luo Siyao torture cold sweat.
You won’t retire on the spot, and then you will be crowned and certified directly!
Then I was hit and killed on the stage, do you believe it?
"So in your opinion, what method should be better to promote these four classic books?" Fortunately, Liang Feifan asked another question.
Although this question has the meaning of asking for advice, it indirectly elevates Wang Shifeng's identity.
"I dare not be a good person, the boy just has some immature small ideas." Wang Shifeng quickly waved his hand modestly.
"You say that you are immature, that means you are nine percent mature and you can use it directly." Liang Feifan said with a smile.
Wang Shifeng touched his nose, "First of all, he gave up too many exaggerated names, softened his body, and then promoted it in a way that adapts to the trend."
"I hope to hear it carefully." Liang Feifan glanced coldly and was about to interrupt Luo Siyao, who turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Start with the name first. The names of "Journey to the West" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" are too elegant, so it is better to give them an alias." Wang Shifeng said with a smile.
"It's interesting, let's talk about it." Liang Feifan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
The idea of changing the name of a famous book is really unheard of.
Although these authors have long passed away, changing their names privately is indeed a bit suspicious of being rebellious.
However, Wang Shifeng used a very interesting statement.
Alias, similar to the characters of ancient people, and the nickname of the present person.
Just like "Dream of Red Mansions" is also called "The Story of Stone", "The Story of the Wind and Moon", "The Golden and Jade Fate", etc.
So Wang Shifeng used this statement very cleverly.
But I don’t know what alias this kid is planning to use, Liang Feifan is indeed looking forward to it.
The audience did not expect much, but instead found it a bit boring.
Change soup or medicine, just change your name to cheat money. This behavior is not worth promoting, and there is also suspicion of cutting leeks.
