Chapter 397: Song scholars will kneel and sing to conquer from now on
Chapter 397 Scholars of the Song Dynasty will have to kneel and sing conquest from now on
The Tokyo Confucian Temple is boiling. In fact, the whole of Tokyo is also boiling.
Celebrate the birth of the great master of Confucianism.
Wang Lin held questions and answers with three great Confucian scholars in the Confucian Temple, explained the way of saints, and further explained the Neo-Confucian classics of Er Cheng and Zhang Zai, becoming an unprecedented master.
King Yan's reading method came out.
This day will be a carnival festival for scholars.
It is destined to be recorded in the history books with great ink and color.
The dark crowd could be seen as far as the eye could see, and the overwhelming cheers and shouts shook the sky.
Some scholars shouted loudly in the audience: "I heard that His Highness, King Yan, has unparalleled poetic talent. Today, Your Highness has not only been honored as the great master of Confucianism, but also explained the way of saints to our generation of scholars and studied the true meaning of the classics. Why don't you write poems on the spot?"
A poem to commemorate a grand event?”
The surrounding scholars stood up when they heard the sound, and gradually tens of thousands of scholars at the scene began to shout and shout wildly.
Zhao Gou looked at Wang Lin with envy.
Such a reputation cannot be achieved even by the emperor.
Kong Lin's beautiful eyes twinkled in the audience, and she left quietly. Tomorrow she would marry into Prince Yan's Mansion, and she had to go back to prepare for the marriage.
Wang Lin took a deep breath.
He silently muttered in his heart, "I'm sorry, Zhu Zi, you old man." He paused, then waved his hands and shouted loudly: "Everyone, I read a book the day before yesterday and got a few thoughts. I got a poem to encourage everyone.
.”
"As soon as the half-acre square pond is opened, the skylight and cloud shadows are lingering together. How clear is the canal? It means there is a source of living water."
Needless to say, the literary nature of Zhu Xi's quatrains is evident from this view of the book.
This is Zhu Xi's most famous poem.
Philosophical poems that express reading experience, depict the perceptual image of things themselves, and contain rational things. They are fresh and natural, but also have a hint of Zen.
Wang Lin's chanting at this moment is undoubtedly the best counter-evidence and reflection of the reading method he proposed earlier.
The logic of reading method and the connotation of this quatrain complement each other and shine brightly.
There was a wordless silence in the audience at first, and then thunderous cheers and applause erupted, and the applause was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
Zhang Kui and the other three looked at each other with mixed emotions in their hearts.
The King of Yan was definitely a great talent sent from heaven when Confucianism was in crisis. He helped the country and taught all the people. He had the appearance of a saint.
Zhang Kui made up his mind instantly.
He was the first to bow and kneel on the ground: "I have lived in vain for sixty years, but today I know the true meaning of a saint. Your Highness, King Yan, is a genius destined to be a Confucian master. I am an old man without talent, but I am willing to boldly worship at the door of His Highness. Please accept it!"
"
Once a teacher, always a teacher.
It's not that Zhang Kui changed his mind when he saw something different, he just chose the best to teach him again.
It does not mean that he abandoned his former teacher and changed his family, but that he continued to study under his teacher.
Cheng Yuanjing and Zhou Ziyan hardly hesitated at all, kneeling on the ground at the same time and shouting.
The scholars around him were stunned, but many people followed him and paid their respects.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Wang Lin's mouth.
Seeing the three gray-headed old men kneeling on the ground, he did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly got off the platform, and helped Zhang Kui and the others up one by one, saying that he did not dare.
…
In the Dacheng Hall of the Tokyo Confucian Temple, in front of the sacred elephant, Wang Lin accepted Zhang Kui, Cheng Yuanjing and Zhou Ziyan as his disciples.
Subsequently, Wang Lin led Zhang Kui and others and dozens of representatives of Confucian scholars from various places to Prince Yan's Mansion. They set up an open-air sutra hall in the front hall of Prince Yan's Mansion and gave public lectures to everyone.
Prince Zhao Gou, Li Gang, Wu Min, Zong Ze, Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and some civil servants were all present. Guo Zhishun, the imperial censor who had just become prime minister, also came after hearing the news.
Outside Prince Yan's Mansion, there were even more scholars gathered on the three floors inside and outside. The crowd was so loud that they refused to leave.
Although it was early winter and the temperature in the capital was extremely low, Zhang Kui and the Confucian scholars from all over the country, who were sitting on the futon, looked excited.
In Prince Yan's palace, Han Yan and other daughters, as well as many interested female officials, maids and servants, all swarmed in.
Wang Lin knew that he couldn't stop.
For now, he can only continue to copy Zhu Xi's theories and views.
Zhu Xi is famous for his "Collected Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books", which became the textbook for imperial examinations in later generations.
Although Wang Lin had only read this series of books by Zhu Xi in his previous life. At that time, he was only slightly interested in reading them in the library, and later looked up relevant information on the Internet as a supplement. It is simply impossible to copy them word for word and completely copy them. of.
He didn't know how other senior time travelers created Journey to the West, Dream of Red Mansions, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and even The Condor Heroes in other worlds.
He couldn't do it anyway.
I can only remember some fragments.
But in his opinion, this is enough.
The reason why he accepted the three great Confucian scholars Zhang Kui as his disciples was actually that he wanted these three great Confucian scholars to assist him in perfecting and writing the "Collected Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books".
He provided some main ideas and methodologies, which were discussed, thought about and further enriched and improved by the three of them.
In the future, when the manuscript is finalized and published as a book, his signature will be ranked first, and Zhang Kui and the other three can also be ranked second. If both parties cooperate, they can achieve great success.
It should be said that this is a great blessing for Confucianism.
This is equivalent to Wang Lin taking the lead and organizing an elite academic team to summarize, refine and generalize some theories that have been based on previous research.
After all, Zhu Xi's theory did not fall from the sky.
He inherited the theories of his predecessors such as Er Cheng and Zhang Zai and introduced new ones.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Lin stood up and wrote a banner on the table in front of everyone: let a hundred flowers bloom, introduce the old and bring forth the new.
It set the main tone for today’s lecture at Prince Yan’s Mansion and future discussions.
Wang Lin sat in the middle, Zhang Kui and three others sat on the carpet in rows on the left. On the right, the prince Zhao Gou was the leader, and Li Gang and other court officials sat behind him.
Behind him, three rows of students sat upright and respectfully.
Among them are Li Qingzhao's younger brother Li Hao and Han Yan's older brother Han Ting, a poet in Hanlin.
Seeing that today's scene actually resembled that of Confucius and his disciples sitting and discussing Taoism, Wang Lin's expression remained calm and calm. He was just a porter of ideas, and his purpose was to benefit his family, country, and the world.
Consolidate people's hearts.
More than ten disciples of Zhang Kui and three others stood behind a row of desks at the edge of the venue, writing at their desks. Wang Lin and three contemporary great scholars refined and enriched the "Yanwang Reading Method" and faithfully recorded it.
Wang Lin's summary, summary and subdivision of the 12-character mantra of the Neo-Confucian classics: understanding the principles of nature, understanding human relations, preaching the holy words, and understanding things, have also gradually been finalized.
This would become the core of Wang Lin's Confucianism.
Han Ting was shocked in the crowd of excited scholars from all over the world. He admired Wang Lin's poetic talent with all his heart, but in terms of classics and meanings, he boasted that he still had some knowledge.
But faced with such a painful 12-word mantra, he could hardly believe his ears.
Writing poetry requires talent and talent, but reading scripture requires accumulation and understanding.
This brother-in-law of his own... Han Ting thought of the rumors about the capital not long ago and felt awe in his eyes.
Even Han Yan and the other daughters had never thought that their husband-in-law was so well versed in Confucian classics.
Seeing him chatting and laughing with Zhang Kui and other great scholars of the Song Dynasty, and answering questions fluently, he couldn't help but look a little dazed.
After this discussion, it was time for the lanterns to come on, and the lights were bright, as if it were daytime, but the atmosphere at the scene was still unabated.
Looking at this posture, even if he lectures all night, he can't stop.
Wang Lin frowned secretly. He could not spend too much energy and time on such a "retreat". When he thought of this, he made a decision immediately: "Gentlemen, today's discussion is nothing more than gathering the efforts of everyone to study the way of the saints."
…That’s why it’s called letting a hundred flowers bloom and bringing forth the new from the old.”
"But Gu Gong is busy with work, and he has to do it tomorrow..." Wang Lin paused and looked at Zhang Kui and the others.
At this moment, Zhang Kui and others remembered that Wang Lin was going to marry the legitimate daughter of the Kong family tomorrow, and there must be things to do in the house. They couldn't help but blush, and stood up to accuse her again and again.
Wang Lin smiled and said: "Academic research cannot be rushed. It requires careful consideration and accumulation. In this way, I will give you some ideas today and talk about some important points. You can study on your own. When I am free from official duties, I will confirm and discuss with you.
"
"Master, please give me a lecture." Seeing that Wang Lin was about to teach and preach, Zhang Kui and the other three led the scholars present to prostrate themselves to the ground and saluted the master.
Han Yan looked a little strange. She saw her brother in the crowd performing discipleship rituals for her husband.
Li Qingzhao said in a low voice: "Zhang Kui, Cheng Yuanjing and Zhou Ziyan are the great Confucians of the time. They inherited the inheritance from Luoyang Ercheng, the great master of Luoxue. They can be convinced, treat them as teachers, and follow the rites of disciples. Xianggong, the great master of Confucianism, is truly worthy of his name."
, I’m afraid it can be called a saint.”
Zhu Shuzhen said lightly: "I really can't believe that my husband is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and his academic attainments surpass those of the Confucian scholars. This... is really unbelievable."
Li Shishi said aside: "Before Xianggong started martial arts, he was a teacher in Qinghe County, so he is no stranger to Confucian classics."
Han Yan was speechless.
We are no strangers to academics, but there is probably a hundred thousand miles between us.
Wang Lin looked around the crowd and said slowly: "A certain person first studied at a university to determine his scale; then he read the Analects of Confucius to establish his foundation;
The first time I read Mencius is to see his progress; the second time I read Zhongyong to see the subtleties of the ancients.
The Great Learning chapter has a hierarchical order, and is always written in one place. It is easy to understand, so you should read it first. The Analects is solid, but the words are scattered, making it difficult to read at first. Mencius has a sense of gratitude that inspires people. The Doctrine is also difficult to read. After reading the three books,
It’s better to read it.”
"Okay, everyone, come here today. I have official business to attend to."
Wang Lin hurriedly put down a clear statement from Zhu Xi, turned around and left.
Zhang Kui and the others led everyone to bow and say goodbye.
Immediately, Wang Lin, who had already entered the back house, heard the earth-shattering sound of crying and crying coming from the front courtyard, as well as fanatical shouts such as "The great master of King Yan is actually the lifelong mentor of all our scholars."
Don't blame them for being excited. Wang Lin directly gave a methodology for studying, studying, and participating in scientific examinations, which is very practical and practical.
Scholars of the Song Dynasty will have to kneel down and sing Conquer from now on.
This is simply an indispensable magic weapon for the imperial examination.
Amidst the overwhelming cheers, Wang Lin put his hand on his forehead and retreated in defeat.
If he continues to be praised like this, he really can't stand it anymore.
Zhang Kui, Cheng Yuanjing and Zhou Ziyan, all with gray hair and respectful faces, waited until Wang Lin completely disappeared before they stood up as usual.
