Confucius said in "The Analects of Confucius": "If the world is Taoist, rituals and music will be conquered from the emperor; if there is no Taoism, rituals and music will be conquered from the princes." The first sentence refers to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the latter sentence refers to the Spring and Autumn Period.
Era. The so-called righteous wars in Confucianism must be based on the order of the emperor. If the princes with the same status fight against each other, they are despising the emperor and acting lawlessly.
Li Jie thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote on the manuscript paper, "The Bible is not for the teachers of princes, because they don't know that there is a king."
This is misleading. The first half of the sentence means disapproval. Why does the sage not appreciate the conquests between the princes' armies? The second half of the sentence states the reason "I don't know there is a king", which is in line with Mencius's "enemy countries do not conquer each other"
The meaning is also consistent with the "crime of being good at prosperity" explained by Zhu Xi.
The title says, "The so-called righteous warriors must be those who follow the orders of the emperor. If the enemy countries conquer each other, there will be no king. What's the point of calling him a master? This "Spring and Autumn" means to respect the king, and Mencius described it as
The imperial edict was issued in this world.
The Confucian saying that righteous war must be ordered by the emperor, and that the princes conquer each other means that there is no king's law, is derived from Confucius's words in "The Analects of Confucius". The era in which Mencius lived was after the Spring and Autumn Period.
After about a hundred years, the situation of social chaos was even worse than that of the Spring and Autumn Period. Mencius said this sentence to use the words of the "Spring and Autumn" to exhort the princes of the world.
In just a moment, more than four hundred words were written eloquently on the paper. After finishing writing, I put the paper aside to dry and looked at the next four book titles.
"Know the stop and then you will have concentration. One section"
Li Jie looked surprised when he saw the question. Senior brother Liang Chu hit this question just right. His understanding of the examiner's thinking in setting the question was really amazing. No wonder he was able to become the first assistant to the cabinet later.
It comes from "The Great Learning", and the full text is: "Knowing to stop can lead to concentration, concentration can lead to tranquility, tranquility can lead to tranquility, tranquility can lead to thinking, and worrying can lead to attainment."
Zhizhi means knowing where the goal is. In today's words, this sentence means that only by knowing the goal to be achieved can we be firm in our ambitions; only by being firm in our ambitions can we be calm and not impatient; only by being calm and not impatient can we have peace of mind; only by having peace of mind can we think about Zhou Xiang
; Only by thinking about Zhou Xiang can we gain something.
Zhu Xi's annotation in the collection is: "Stop means the place where you should stop, that is, the place of the highest good. Knowing it means that the ambition will be oriented. Quiet means that the mind does not move rashly. Peace means being at ease where you are, and worry means doing things.
Jingxiang. To get it means to get it where it stops."
To put it simply, knowing and stopping means knowing what is the state of the highest good, thus prompting oneself to pursue the highest good and stop at the highest good. Only when people understand their dreams and destination can they be determined and determined, and only when they are determined can they stand firm.
, Only when you stand firm can your mind not be rashly moved. Only when your mind is not rash can you advance and retreat calmly. Only by being calmly advancing and retreating can you handle things carefully. Only by handling things thoughtfully can you achieve positive results and make your dreams come true.
Zhang Zai, a master of the Northern Song Dynasty, mentioned: "Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the livelihood of the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations!" This is the best interpretation of Confucianism's knowledge and stopping.
From knowledge to concentration, tranquility, tranquility, and consideration, the five levels progress step by step. They are the five mental processes of personal self-growth. As long as you can do it, it will be like mastering the strategy to pass the level, and nothing will be able to stump you.
of.
Li Jie quietly closed his eyes and rested his mind while recalling the scriptures. After a while, he picked up his pen and wrote down.
“The reason why the Bible infers the highest good is that it is obtained through true knowledge.”
That is to say, the reason for the highest good mentioned in universities is nothing more than that it is obtained from true knowledge. True knowledge was not created by Li Jie himself this time. It is mentioned in "The Doctrine of the Mean", but the "true knowledge" in the Doctrine of the Mean
It is still a verb, but here it is a noun, that is, the natural conscience, which is equivalent to the meaning of the highest good mentioned by Zhu Xi.
Then he wrote in the title, "The end of my knowledge is the true knowledge of the world. And because of it, calmness, tranquility and consideration, how can this supreme good be obtained? It is also based on knowledge."
As the sage said, that is, the paragraph about knowing and then having concentration in the university is true knowledge, and the following concentration and concern all come from it. This is the origin of the supreme good, so how to get it? In the end, it is still
It comes from knowing and stopping.
Once you have the idea of solving the problem, the rest is a matter of course. Li Jie's writing is quick and easy, and the rest of the writing, starting from the beginning, entering the topic, starting the story, etc. are completed in one go.
It was already noon after he finished writing the two four-book questions. He lit the charcoal fire in the charcoal pot and started to cook something to eat. The air-dried bacon prepared by Fang Yi this time was put into the pot with the japonica rice, which turned out to be a pot of claypot rice.
Puff puff puff, a smell of meat filled the examination room and spread to the corridor outside. Li Jie could clearly hear the sound of the sergeant swallowing saliva outside the door. He opened the lid and added the cooked salted duck eggs to let the yolks out.
Flow into it, adding a bit more aroma.
In order to rush for time, most candidates would drink hot water and eat cold food. How could Li Jie turn the examination room into a place for cooking delicious food? While everyone was swallowing their saliva crazily, they couldn't help laughing at Li Jie's behavior.
It's just for fun.
Other examples are not like Li Jie's. Before noon on the first day, two articles were written in one go. Most people still plucked them out word by word, and had to consider the citations and arguments again and again. If they used them incorrectly, they would be wrong.
It's as simple as making people laugh. There is a high probability that you will be dismissed directly by the marking officer. According to the principle of the first competition of the Science and Technology Weightlifting, you can go home after this test.
Li Jie himself has a very good memory, and after he became successful in martial arts, he became even more sharp-sighted. He has been reading books for eight years since he started studying. He is familiar with the classics and history. He has read all the books he can see. He can really be said to have read more than ten thousand books.
.
For the following five questions, Li Jie had a deep heart and wrote with a spirit. Every sentence carried on the meaning and logic. He quoted scriptures and classics at his fingertips, integrated the classics and history, and used exegesis and explanation in the text. When he finished writing, the setting sun was all over the floor.
, the sun filtered in through the wooden fence, feeling slightly warm.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Jie simply stopped copying the answer sheets. Today was just the first day of the exam, and there were still two days and one night left before the end. There was plenty of time. Thinking of this, Li Jie began to worry about what to eat at night.
What's good? If other examinees knew about it, they would probably spit out blood. Instead of answering the test papers well in the examination room, they would think about what to eat.
The next day, after waking up from meditation, Li Jie simply ate some cold food and started transcribing the test papers. The conditions in the examination room were limited and there was only so much food to eat, so it was better to finish writing and handing in the papers quickly and go out to have a good meal.
After the transcription was completed, Li Jie knocked on the door and said to the sergeant outside: "Hand in the papers!"
It was only the morning of the second day, and most of them had only finished writing three or four questions. When they saw someone handing in their papers, the candidates around them were all surprised. On second thought, they thought that this candidate should have given up on taking the exam.
The sergeant outside asked the inspector to summon the examiner in accordance with the regulations. After waiting for a while, the examiner came to Li Jie's examination booth. The sergeant opened the door lock. The examiner saw Li Jie's birthplace on the examination paper and said in surprise:
"So you are that young man from Fujian, Xie Yuan Lin Pingzhi!"
