Chapter 290 Feng Chan (Twenty-seven) 'Declaration of War'
Before offering sacrifices to Confucius, Qin Tianjian had already selected an auspicious day, and the three Confucius residences, Confucius temples, and Confucius forests were carefully swept to welcome the saint. Taichang Temple prepared sacrifices, and sacrificial silks and musical instruments were displayed in the hall of the Confucius temple.
Si Shejian and Jin Yiwei set up an imperial temple outside the Confucius Temple. Gao Pingshi had been in the cabinet for many years and had offered sacrifices to Confucius on behalf of the emperor many times in the past. However, since he was representing the emperor at that time, he was the chief worshiper. This time he changed his identity and became the master.
Praise people.
When he arrived at the place, the emperor wore a Lan shirt as before, but all the officials were dressed in official uniforms or official uniforms. They went to the gate of the Confucius Temple first, lined up east and west, and waited in order. Kong Shangxian, the Duke of Yansheng, and Kong Shangxian, the magistrate of Qufu County
Yin Zhi and other local officials and gentry came to the temple gate early and knelt down in the northeast to welcome the holy driver.
Emperor Zhu Yijun wore a Lan shirt, a leather belt around his waist, and a square scarf on his head. He did not act like a scholar, but acted like a scholar, riding in an imperial chariot and walking down the aisle alone. When he arrived, Duke Yan Sheng and the magistrate of Qufu County led the crowd to kneel down to greet him.
The emperor lowered his chariot and stepped into the imperial palace to take a short rest. Officials from the Ministry of Rites asked the emperor to take a bath and prepare to salute. The other officials changed into sacrificial robes.
Afterwards, the officials of Taichang Temple guided the emperor out of the imperial palace, into the Confucius Temple, and to the washroom, where he washed his hands again to show his purity of heart. Under the singing of the ceremony, the emperor entered the main hall of the Confucius Temple, accompanied by the Imperial Academy priests.
During the wine ceremony, the Si Ye and academic officials were already kneeling on the left side of the temple gate to welcome the emperor. When the emperor came to the temple gate, he offered wine and led all the academic officials to stand up to guide the emperor to ascend to the throne. The officials of Honglu Temple praised the arrangement, and the officials and students
Perform five bows and kowtow.
After the ceremony, the wine was offered, and the ministers and academic officials took their places respectively to prepare for the lecture. The wine was ascended from the east steps to the hall and stood facing the north. The deacon raised the sutra case and retreated behind the throne. Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, presented a petition to the emperor.
The sutras were taught to the lecturer, and he knelt down to receive wine and placed them under the lecture table. Then he went to the center of the hall and stood facing north.
The Neizan officials guided the emperor and other officials to retreat into the lecture hall, where they finished the lecture on Confucian classics by offering wine. After the lecture, the emperor and all the officials listened together, put the scriptures back to their original places, and kowtowed before entering and exiting.
The key moment arrived. The emperor personally went to the throne of Confucius, which was the most important part of the ceremony. The emperor walked from Zhejiang to the statue of Confucius, and personally handed the robe to the emperor. He praised the official for being humble and pragmatic, kneeling and withdrawing the silk. The music gradually started. The emperor stood up to receive the ceremony.
Before the offering is completed, the silk should be given to a lowly person and laid in pragmatism behind the god's throne.
Then, the music started for the emperor to retire, and the emperor accepted the title. After the ceremony was completed, he laid the honorary ceremony on the throne of God. The music stopped, the emperor came out, and the officials laid the honorary ceremony in turn. After the ceremony, they laid the honorary title after the ceremony.
Original worship.
The praising official sang the words of farewell to the gods, and the music started again. The emperor bowed and paid homage to the emperor. He paid tribute and paid tribute to the worshiper. After the ceremony was completed, the chief praising officer guided the emperor from the middle way.
The sacrificial officials came in and changed their sacrificial clothes. When the emperor entered the imperial palace to change his clothes, Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, asked the emperor to honor Confucius as an insult to Confucius and his family.
In short, the entire ceremony of worshiping Confucius from the preparation to the beginning reflects the reverence for the most holy teacher Confucius, as well as the insult and praise of Confucianism by the emperor and the court. Generally, the emperor dressed in scholar's clothes and worshiped Confucius in person
The link also highlights the emperor's attributes as a scholar, as well as the ingenious integration and ability of the emperor's worship of Confucius before the Jiajing ceremony. The appearance of the first assistant Gao Pangjing as the most important cooperating official around the emperor not only highlights the emperor's
The emphasis on Confucian culture also demonstrates the influence of low pragmatism in the court.
The fourth is the crown and belt: it is proposed to narrow the conditions for awarding the crown and belt to encourage scholars to learn and be enthusiastic.
----------
A certain academic system: it is said that the ancestors of Xue Ou did whatever they wanted, and now the instructors and apprentices fill the positions to gain practical use, or they gather in academies and advocate for lectures, which are not similar to this Zen, and are called Lord Jing, which is different and enters concentration.
Why do you say that? Because Zhu Yijun is one of the "Eight Direct Disciples" with a low pragmatism, and he is currently the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. My work direction is not academic, etiquette, publicity, or lijiao... In short
In other words, he is responsible for the court's "internal and external spiritual civilization construction."
The first is the issue of temple statues: it is proposed to reform the objects of worship in Confucius temples, and it is recommended to use wooden tablets instead of statues. It also questions Confucius's title and sacrificial rituals, and believes that Confucius' status as the first teacher should be further insulted.
It is also said that although there are few scholars who have been deposed today, including Dai Sheng, Liu Xiang, Wang Bi, Jia Kui, He Xiu, Wang Su, Xun Kuang, He Yan, Ma Rong, Du Yu, Yang Xiong, and Wu Chun, they can still comment on the scriptures.
Righteousness and merit can be extinguished. Cai Shen's annotation of "Shu" is worthy of worship, and Chen Hao's annotation of "Si" should also follow his example.
The eighth is the issue of current literature: In order to eliminate the weirdness and obscurity of the articles in the imperial examinations at this time, it is recommended to restore the orthodoxy and conciseness of the articles.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the face of Emperor Fang Conzhe, who was dressed in a Lanshan scholar uniform, as if they wanted to see something from the emperor's expression.
The Analects of Confucius was written by Wu Zi, a disciple of Zeng Zi, so the seven sages are only called Zi. The Analects of Confucius first recorded Wang Ning's words, followed by Wu Zi, and Zeng Zi followed.
Among the sages of the disciples are none other than Gong Ming Xuan and Yue Zheng Zichun. The Analects of Confucius does not have the same treatises, Lu treatises, and differences among the ancient treatises. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yu, Zheng Xuan, and Jin He and Yan began to be combined into one book. Today, the readers are the eight scholars.
.
Once the root cause is explained clearly, we naturally understand why all the officials dare to be the first to speak first - such a small matter is directly handled by the right minister of the Ministry of Rites himself, but it is a routine used in abnormal struggles.
What does it mean to send a Qi Qi Yan officer or an academic officer to explore the emperor's tone?
One discussion of temple statues: It is called the southern capital of the Confucius temple. Since Taizu has changed the wooden master. At the beginning of the Jiajing period, it was decided that all the statues in the sky should be changed to the main statue, and only one of them has been left till now. Moreover, Confucius has been called the ancestor, but has not removed it.
Even if he wears a crown and is crowned king, even if he dances and dances for four hundred people, he is not worthy of the Holy Spirit.
However, unexpectedly, before everyone went in and out of the Confucius Temple to regroup, the emperor suddenly sent Chen Ju to send a message, saying that he wanted to read out a pamphlet, and then the emperor would announce the holy will in front of everyone.
That's very strange. Shuwen is a memorial written by ministers to the emperor. Usually only the Shuwen that the emperor has not responded to will have the original text attached and sent to the relevant yamen and places, and it is also the way of the General Affairs Department and the Dibao.
But this is an example of hearing it read out in public.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! First of all, Zhu Yijun also reviewed the academic views of Xue Xuan and Wang Shouren in his review, believing that our theory is pure, and also expressed his opinions on Wang Anshi's
The "Eight Classics of Justice" and Kong Yingda's "Four Classics of Justice" have been compared, and it is considered appropriate to compare the two.
The seventh is the issue of the educational system: it proposes to reform the education system, but only gives teachers a nominal position and lacks practical effect. It is recommended to pay attention to classic education and praises empty Zen and meditation practice.
It shows that the Realistic School was serious about it that time and wanted to strike a fatal blow!
Now, I am personally responsible for it, and I have frankly and implicitly praised the old tendency of learning without Buddhism in my essays, which has influenced the scholars in heaven to advocate "meditative learning", ignore the Confucian truth of applying what they have learned, and falsely accuse real learning as
"Vulgar learning" is simply against the sages and must be corrected!
The formal ceremony of paying homage to Confucius has now begun. The so-called emperor was "lucky to Confucius". In fact, it was not just a visit to pay homage, but probably no more important matters.
In his commentary, he also said that Xue Xuan and Wang Shouren were both famous officials of the same generation, but their scholarship was flawed, so they rarely slandered pseudo-study. Moreover, Wang Anshi's eight classics were said to be more righteous than Kong Yingdao's four classics, so the argument was wrong.
cloud."
Except for the two officials from the Kong family, the other officials present were all "little question writers" who had gone through countless hardships in reading. It was easy to understand the literal meaning of Shu Wen. Of course, they needed to "what did Shu Wen say"
Too little thinking. We all remained silent because we knew that the focus of the essay was obviously just as complicated as the literal meaning.

PS: I just wanted to be a monkey and have fun fighting today, but I ended up writing such a serious chapter. What a blessing!
The seventh is the examination system: It is recommended to reform the imperial examination system, and propose that examination power be transferred to each government, with the chief photographer being the chief examiner, in order to improve the quality and fairness of the examination.
Sima Qian said that Mencius combined it in this way, and then combined it with Wan Zhang and Gongsun Chou's disciples to write a book. In the previous life, there was no pretense, and they were all named Mencius. The current reading is what Zhao Qi decided. Whether the number of disciples should be combined and worshiped should be explained clearly.
.
Now it is said that the heart is also used, saying that it is thinking about good or evil, but look at the true face. It is said that the Eight Sutras are annotated by you, not by you. It seems that the Buddha and the Lao are confusing the truth of Confucius and Mencius. Looking at the reason, it is also what people think
Those who are deeply ashamed but do it for themselves, divide themselves into factions, call themselves sacred learning, and regard their careers as secular learning. What they learn in their careers is also the principles of the sages, and they quickly abandon it because of their qualifications, and they become secular people.
, why should I study?
On the whole, Neng can be summarized in the words of his previous life: "Wang Ningbei's brief discussion reflects my deep reflection and reform suggestions on the education system and scholarly atmosphere at this time, aiming to restore the orthodox status of Confucian classics and reform
Education and examination systems should be abolished to promote the development of academic thinking."
Yes, we must think less about it, because Chen Ju has not finished reading the essay, and because of the format of the essay, the officials knew that he had guessed wrong as soon as he opened his mouth.
The seventh is the issue of worship: We discussed which wise Confucians should be enshrined in the Confucius Temple, and suggested that we imitate the system of the Confucius Temple and erect monuments for those wise Confucians to record their deeds. At the same time, we also made suggestions for adjusting the sacrificial status of certain wise Confucians in history.
The eighth is academic issues: it praises some problems existing among scholars at this time, such as overly weakening the mind and neglecting the study of classics, and confusing the thoughts of Buddhism and Laoism with Confucianism.
"Zhu Yijun, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, explained eight things about the school:
7. Discussing the Guangen with the Crown: It is called the Chinese style of raising people. After the palace examination, the crown is given. If the example is given, and the crown is selected, then the senior supervisor students should ask for advice, and the ministers and ministers should also promote this example.
The first is the reorganization of classics: it is recommended to reorganize and delete classic documents such as "Spring and Autumn" in order to unify academic views.
One discussion on worshiping: It is said that all the sages and scholars should remove their titles and call them a certain son. Since there are dynasties to be found and names outside the title to be examined, it is appropriate to imitate the system of the Confucius Temple and set up seven stones to record his life in detail. Also, Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty
In the seventh year, Yan Zi was promoted from Shizhe to be the wife of Zengzi. In the first year of Zongzhang, Zengzi was promoted to be the wife of Zengzi, and to be the wife of Zhangzi. Examining his knowledge and the evaluation of the sages and the esteemed people in the same rank, it turns out that Zhang is not as good as him.
, but it is not necessary to set up a sacrificial ceremony by placing it on the veranda and enthroning it among the ten philosophers.
He also studied politics. Everyone has his own way, and nothing is suitable for him. He took the teachings from various places and ordered the Ministry of Rites to compromise, so that he could always abide by them. He took the annual exam for school, and it was a few years and a week. The exam hall was approaching, but the deadline was
Examination is like delegating each government according to its power, and taking pictures of all the studies and listening to them for reference and research.
Urgently, Fang Congzhe took two steps back and asked solemnly: "You are all behind the Confucius Temple today. Why don't you tell me whether you studied the scriptures of your sages or the scriptures of the Buddha and Lao Lao in those years?"
Thanks to book friend "Flexbio" for your support with 6 monthly tickets, thank you!
The fourth is the issue of banning reform: It is recommended to ban some reasonable imperial examination practices, such as obtaining examination qualifications through connections or money, in order to save people's money and cultivate the moral integrity of scholars.
All the officials consciously turned their attention to Gao Pragmatic. It seemed that everyone felt that only Gao Yuanfu was less embarrassed. However, we soon discovered that Gao Pragmatic also had a look on his face - it was just that I was the North Korean.
The emperor looked at it.
After Chen Ju finished reciting, the place was noisy, and one person actually spoke up. Everyone seemed to be still pondering the true meaning of this statement.
Nowadays, there is no memorial worthy of the emperor's small fanfare. It was read out in public before the memorial ceremony for Confucius, and then the holy message was delivered in public. That is really rare. What happened and who wrote that memorial?
?
Although the content of the essay is short and complex, at first glance it may seem like it has all been mentioned in terms of etiquette, academics, systems, customs, promotion of learning, etc., but in reality, as an official in the officialdom, who knows the most important meaning outside?
I'm afraid there is still a factional dispute in the court!
A sage like Confucius is still said to have learned literature; a sage like Yanzi is still said to have taught you through writing. Today, the Eight Classics are regarded as dross, and it is said that these are the writings, which can directly lead to transcendent understanding. Thousands of words of sages are all spoken from the heart
In other words, the work of neutralizing position and education is all done from the heart.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is said to be "eight things" in name, but I actually said four points, or even ten points. To put it more complicated, it is like this:
In the Book of Rites of the Shaohan Confucian Society, Chen Hao collected the explanatory chapters and sentences, and the volume is very complicated, so it should be revised in detail. As for the Zhu Zi Gangmu, which was discovered by Yin Qixin and the calligraphy written by Liu Guyi, the complicated ones were deleted and simplified, and they were listed in the Academy to test the academic affairs.
scholar.
It is also said that in recent times, the literary style has lost the old system, with dangerous hooks and thorns, parsing the meaning of the text, and being lengthy and tiresome. Although prohibitions are added at times, it is difficult to change suddenly. It will be like beating up Yang Xiu's Liu Ji, and Qiu Jun's deposing to seek pleasure, and then we can
one.
To put it more bluntly, it’s not that the Practical School is going to end its weak suppression of the Heart School in academic circles!
It is discussed and deleted that since the Spring and Autumn Period and the rise of Han Dynasty, eight biographies have been written in parallel, and Hu Chuan has dominated so far. Although the theory of Hu Chuan is correct, the facts may be hidden. The eight biographies are quite detailed, and the discussion should not be compromised. It is advisable to order the Confucian officials to understand the scriptures clearly.
Make more careful selections and strive to achieve unity.
Ah? Could it be that Gao Yuanfu also knew what was going on? Hmm... Could it be that the emperor wanted to confer the title of Duke, and did he delay informing Yuanfu about it?
The real meaning is that we can talk about it later, so let’s talk about the literal meaning first. The memorial was Zhu Yijun’s proposal on school education reform, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and put forward eight suggestions and praises.
It is also said that writing began in Cangjie, and was followed by Shi Zhen, Cheng Miao, Li Si, Cai Yong, and Li Yang Bing, all of whom were minor preparations. In fact, it is incompatible with the classics. It is appropriate to establish a temple in a Confucian temple to honor and offer sacrifices.
The ethics of making paper and the tranquility of making pens. These are all trivial and have no benefit to the world. They are not comparable to those of the famous officials and virtuous people who modeled them at that time, so they should be based on righteousness.
The Eight Discussions on Banning Reform: It is said that there is no quota for the annual tribute to the memorial archway, and most of the people who have no ambitions go to school. Before they go to school, few people go to the subordinate officials, either to be sent to the outer armor, or to be in the market. This is called "Zuo Xing", but in fact it is
Scientific restraint should be strictly prohibited in order to save people's money, so it is also the festival for cultivating scholars.
