"Zhao Guodong, don't be unreasonable." Zhang Yuanfang drank in a low voice.

This Zhao Guodong is the most pedantic among the scholars.

A few days ago, when the escort army entered the city, this man wanted to drag everyone to death. As a result, no one paid attention to him. He wanted to seek death himself, but he gave up after being severely punished by his tough Fanren wife.

.

The next day, the guards came to reissue money and food, and he came back to teach again.

Zhang Yuanfang thought this person had changed his mind.

Unexpectedly, I got confused again at this critical moment.

"Zhang Xuezheng, it's okay. Fu Xue is a place where learning is done. You can speak freely. Things like learning become clearer the more you debate them."

Dong Liang waved his hand and nonchalantly motioned for everyone to follow him into the mansion.

"Head of the State, I don't mean anything else. I simply feel that the words of the Head of State are somewhat contradictory." Zhao Guodong also added, which quite meant that there was no three hundred taels of silver here.

Soon everyone entered the government school.

According to Dong Liang's arrangement, hundreds of students from the government schools and student representatives from various academies attended the meeting.

The meeting place was in a large classroom. The windows were open around the classroom, and the surrounding light and the sound of birdsong came into the classroom.

Ancient schools were not as grand as those of later generations, but instead focused on integrating with nature.

This has a very important relationship with the traditional Chinese culture absorbing Taoist ideas. Learning must follow nature, so that even the construction of schools must comply with nature.

Although Confucianism was only respected after the Han Dynasty, the hundreds of schools of thought did not disappear. It was just that many people who originally studied the hundreds of schools of thought changed their schools and became Confucian scholars, and the knowledge they studied became part of Confucianism.

.

After the Han Dynasty, Confucianism drew on the strengths of various schools of thought.

Taoist thought is not only inherited in Taoism, but also in Confucianism.

The podium in the school is a couch made of bamboo and wood, which is two feet higher than the height below. There are mats and low tables on the couch, and everyone sits on the floor.

The student below is sitting on a chair with a desk in front of him.

Dong Liang sat at the top and looked down, hundreds of students could be seen clearly.

Among these people, the young ones are similar to his age.

The older one looks to be about forty, and he probably has failed many attempts and is making a living in a private school.

Seeing Dong Liang, Xuezheng and other mountain chiefs come in, all the students stood up and saluted respectfully.

Dong Liang waved his hand to signal everyone to do well.

Once on the podium, Dong Liang felt like he had returned to his home court.

"Zhao Jiaoyu, let's first talk about why the ritual of kneeling and worshiping should be abolished: First of all, our ancestors invented the ritual of kneeling and worshiping mainly to show respect for the gods and ancestors. Later, it was continuously tampered with by some people in power and became what it is now.

In fact, kneeling is not in line with human dignity. Kneeling is a way to show respect for an authority or god higher than oneself, but it is also an act of self-humiliation and self-deprecation. As a Chinese,

After the Yan and Huang Dynasties, everyone has the same blood and common ancestors. They should be treated and respected equally and should not be forced to submit or demean themselves.

Secondly, kneeling may cause physical harm in some cases. Long-term kneeling may cause pain in knees and ankles, and may even lead to joint disease and bone marrow damage. This behavior may also cause other physical injuries.

Problems such as dizziness, difficulty breathing and even affecting the heart.

Finally, kneeling down may cause psychological burden. How many people are really willing to kneel down to others?

In most cases kneeling is a forced behavior, which may cause psychological discomfort and stress. This behavior may have a negative impact on some people's self-esteem and self-confidence, and may cause them to have negative feelings about society and society.

Feeling insecure about my identity.”

"Führer, the reasons you mentioned are all correct. This was indeed the case in ancient times. However, people worshiping officials has been going on for thousands of years. How can you use ancient rules that cannot be studied to refute rules that have existed for thousands of years.

"

Zhao Guodong seemed to be at odds with Dong Liang, and what he said was not unreasonable.

Dong Liang actually just said it casually at the door. After all, not many people really like to kneel down to others.

"The history that Mr. Zhao reads is not necessarily the real history. Just like the history of the Ming Dynasty compiled by the Manchu and Qing court, is its content authentic? If this is really the case, why did the Ming History Case come up again in the early years of the Qing Dynasty? Because one

The history of the Ming Dynasty caused people’s heads to fall to the ground?"

The students below were completely confused. They originally thought that the so-called Chinese head of state was just talking empty words. Considering that he had sent funds to the government schools and various academies, they sat down and listened to what he said.

explain.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as this man came in, he started arguing with Zhao Jiaoyu, the most rigid person in the academy.

The content of this debate is still about the ceremony of kneeling.

Logically speaking, as a superior, you should uphold this rule.

Now it's the other way around. Zhao Jiaoyu, who needs to kneel down and worship, has become a defender, while the Chinese head of state has become an opponent.

Everyone was happy to watch this good show, but Zhang Yuanfang, the scholar who was studying upright, was worried that Dong Liang could not defeat Zhao Guodong, so he finally became so angry that he cut off the worship of the official scholar.

"History books are a list of winners. Just like I, Dong Liang, now control Dongfan Island, then I can spend money to organize a group of people to write history books, naturally in accordance with my requirements, and then I will print them in a printing workshop for everyone to see.

All students in the college must read the history books compiled by me. After several generations, will everyone feel that these are true histories?"

Dong Liang's words were unique and made everyone fall into deep thought.

History is a list of winners.

Yes, although it sounds a bit rebellious, everyone here is a scholar. We are not stupid and have a certain amount of knowledge.

"Führer, you have underestimated the integrity of scholars. Don't forget that there are people like Tai Shibo. They would rather die than record history with their own pens." Zhao Guodong casually found another reason to refute Dong Liang.

.

Everyone is familiar with the story of Tai Shibo. During the Qi Kingdom, there was a doctor named Cui Zhu. He killed his monarch, Duke Zhuang of Qi, and took the throne himself.

At this time, Tai Shibo, as a historian, wrote down the four words "regicide and seizing the throne" according to the truth. Cui Zhu was naturally unwilling, so he asked Tai Shibo to modify the historical data and change Qizhuang Gong to die of illness, no matter what Cui Zhu said

, Tai Shibo resolutely refused to change.

In the end, Cui Zhu killed Taishi Bo. According to the rules at the time, Taishi Bo's younger brother Taishi Zhong took over the post of Taishi. However, he still made the same choice as his brother and was killed as well. Next was the third child,

The Taishi family adhered to the principles of being a historian.

This was still the case until the third son was killed and the fourth son took over as Taishi. Only then did Cui Zhu give up the idea of ​​tampering with history.

Zhao Guodong thought that Dong Liang had nothing to say this time, but little did he know that he just led to what Dong Liang was going to say next.

"Yes, the character of scholars. Zhao Jiaoyu said that Tai Shibo is the character of historians. Let's talk about the character of scholars in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Do you think that since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, how much character has there been among scholars? It was the Ming Dynasty.

Party strife that harmed the country, or was it the servility of the Qing Dynasty?"

Dong Liang's words hit the nail on the head, and every sentence is heart-breaking. Severe diseases require strong medicine.

The greatest harm done to China by the Manchu Qing Dynasty was its enslavement policy.

It was this enslavement policy that made the originally bloody Chinese people submit to the constant invasions of modern powers.

It is this enslavement policy that has caused the Chinese people to experience a hundred years of humiliation. The poison is still lingering today. Some people still worship foreigners and think that the air in the West is free.
