Speaking of Qingtan, although it was at its peak during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
But this trend has already started in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Kong Rong is a guy who likes to talk very much. Of course, the most powerful person at this time is Kong Niao.
Yes, it was Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou who was one of the eighteen princes in the future.
This person was evaluated as being simple and lofty in his opinions and boasting about others.
A group of scribes were talking loudly and mysteriously in the prefect's palace, discussing Taoism and Taoism. It was very unpleasant.
But Liu Bei and Chen Yuan were not interested at all.
The reason Liu Bei is not interested is that he has little education and cannot compete with others.
Chen Yuan was not interested in such nonsense.
Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will make it prosperous.
This kind of person seems to be pointing the country and is high-spirited, but in fact he is just a fool, who is worse than plowing two acres of land.
Therefore, everyone else was talking very happily, but Liu Bei and Chen Yuan were not interested and seemed very awkward in the hall.
Kong Rong naturally noticed this situation.
After Kong Rong drank a glass of wine, he said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, why are you silent at the table? Could it be that today's topic does not arouse your interest?"
At this time, Kong Rong already knew that Liu Bei had studied under Lu Zhi. In his opinion, as a student of Lu Zhi, he naturally had some knowledge. Seeing Liu Bei's silence, he mistakenly thought that today's topic did not attract Liu Bei's interest.
Woolen cloth.
In fact, Kong Rong was self-righteous.
It is true that Liu Bei once studied under Lu Zhi, but Liu Bei didn't like reading very much. He liked fine clothes and delicious food, and he also liked to make friends with heroic people.
To put it bluntly, Liu Bei is very similar to Liu Bang, the founder of Han Dynasty.
If you ask Liu Bei to talk about military strategy, Liu Bei can tell you one, two, three.
But if you let Liu Bei talk, you will really make things difficult for me, Emperor Zhaolie.
When Liu Bei heard Kong Rong's question, he was not timid because he didn't know how to do it, but I have a fourth brother, Chen Yuan.
When Liu Bei thought about it, his fourth brother must be a man who had read poetry and books, and could only talk casually.
So Liu Bei said directly: "Your Excellency, although Bei studied under Zigan Gong, his qualifications are dull and he has not learned the knowledge of his teacher. In case, he really does not dare to talk loudly with the princes."
At this point, Liu Bei changed the topic: "However, my brother Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu have a rich family background and profound knowledge. I would like to ask you for advice."
As he said this, Liu Bei looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan was eating happily when he heard Liu Bei suddenly talking about them, and felt confused.
Good guy, you are such a good big brother, this pot will fly.
If you don’t know how to talk, I can?
But seeing the look in Liu Bei's eyes, Chen Yuan had to take over.
After all, we can't let Liu Bei make a fool of himself. If it really spreads, Liu Bei's reputation among scholars will be bad.
Once the reputation is bad, it will be difficult to fool the advisers and Confucian scholars into serving Liu Bei in the future.
Then wouldn’t he be exhausted to death?
No, in order to be more leisurely in the future, I must support Liu Bei, so that I can trick some fools into working part-time in the future.
It's just bragging. I think I, Chen Yuan, was once the best among millions of keyboard warriors, known as the Keyboard Emperor.
Today I will show you my keyboard warrior skills, Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu.
Come on!
The topic these people were talking about just now was not some important matter of family and country, but the mysterious way.
That is, Lao Zhuang and Zhouyi.
Today’s topic is the debate between whether Lao Tzu exists or not.
This is also one of the most popular topics nowadays.
Chen Yuan put down the big pig's hoof in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "Yuan listened carefully to what the gentlemen said before and was deeply inspired."
Chen Yuan also lies without blushing. You still have oil stains on your mouth, but you are brazen enough to say that you listened with all your heart. It is simply shameless.
It's just that everyone is a showman, and Chen Yuan has already been so supportive, so we can't expose him.
Moreover, at this time, the arrogant, unrestrained and unruly atmosphere of the Wei and Jin Dynasties had begun to take shape, so no one felt dissatisfied with Chen Yuan's behavior.
In fact, Chen Yuan's behavior is nothing.
There is a tough guy behind who is much more awesome than Chen Yuan.
That was Mi Heng, who humiliated Cao Cao by playing drums with his bare buttocks on. He was simply the ancestor of performance art.
Not only was this not criticized, it was called the style of a celebrity.
Later, Chen Yuan said: "Yuan believed that everything in the heaven and earth is based on nothingness. Nothingness is the thing that creates things and exists everywhere. All things have all shapes and forms, and they are all unified. How can they be unified? Because of nothingness.
Since nothing is one, one can be said to be nothing. The gods are luxuriant, so they can harmonize and connect with nothing. The five emotions are the same, so they cannot respond to things without sorrow and joy. However, the emotion of a saint responds to things without burdening them. Now let's take this
If it is not tired, it means that it no longer responds to things and has lost a lot."
In short, Chen Yuan took over the philosophical thoughts of Wang Bi, one of the later founders of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Wang Bi is a super fierce guy.
His annotation of "The Book of Changes" changed the fragmented and cumbersome traditional method of the Han people. He did not use elephants but used "Laozi" to interpret the "Yi" with Laozi's thoughts. He also elaborated on his own philosophical views and opened up a new trend in academics - "Zhengzheng".
Beginning of Xuanfeng".
Wang Bi established a metaphysical philosophy with a complete system and abstract speculation based on the thoughts of Lao and Zhuang. His critical research on the metaphysics of Yi studies swept away the corrupt academic style of Yi studies in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, and put forward the ontology and epistemology of Yi studies.
New viewpoints and new insights will have a profound impact on the future development of Chinese intellectual history.
In short, this person is a great person.
Chen Yuan is now taking out Wang Bi's ideas to debate whether they are valid or not, which is basically equivalent to using a machine gun to sweep across swords and spears.
When Chen Yuan blew it down, the Confucian scholars in the main hall were stunned.
The reason why Chen Yuan was able to brag about some of Wang Bi's things was entirely because he once debated the Tao Te Ching with a guy.
However, at that time, Chen Yuan was speechless by others, because they really studied Wang Bi very deeply, which greatly embarrassed Chen Yuan, who claimed to be the number one keyboard warrior among millions.
Know your shame and then be brave. If you want to become a keyboard warrior among keyboard warriors, you must naturally have the spirit to get up from wherever you fall.
Therefore, after that debate, Chen Yuan conducted an in-depth study of Wang Bi.
After research, we found that this was indeed a very awesome figure. Although he only lived for twenty-three years, his incredible light of genius and wisdom illuminated the entire era and pointed the theoretical direction of Wei and Jin metaphysics.
Let’s put it this way, Wang Bi is to the Chinese intellectual community what Huo Qubing is to the Chinese military community, that’s how awesome he is.
Chen Yuan's speech immediately impressed these celebrities and Confucian scholars, and some of them even had gleams of admiration in their eyes.
