It can cultivate sentiment, improve art appreciation ability, and serve as an adjustment to daily life.
If it is raised higher, it can improve cultural confidence, enhance national pride, promote common cultural identity, etc.
It won't work any further. After all, this thing can't be used as food. It can't resist foreign invasion like in some fantasy. It can be used as weapons and ammunition.
The reason why Xu Yuan was forced to act as a copywriter and copy a few poems was because those Confucian scholars were too arrogant and could not find any way to suppress them. If they were completely left alone, it would seriously dampen the morale of their own people.
Needless to say, the effect was that the Confucian arrogance was immediately suppressed a lot, but he still spoke harshly. He wrote in "Jiangnan Times": "It's just a few poems that can be read. Poetry is a small skill, and we still have articles.
, elegant music, calligraphy and painting, can you compare with these?"
Faced with such clamor.
Many senior officials in Xujiazhuang believe that this is just the wail of a loser dog, and they should ignore them at all. These losers are a joke now. If we take them seriously, they will lose. Let them continue to scream incompetently.
However, Xu Yuan is the kind of character who likes to face the opponent head-on, be tough and defeat the opponent head-on. You hit yours, I'll hit mine, don't fall into the opponent's trap, etc. The essence is a kind of escape, not daring.
Struggle, fear of the performance of struggle, not to mention that on the premise of having stronger strength, you don’t have to be afraid of your opponent’s clamor and challenge. Even the more your opponent is like this, the effect of your counterattack will be the best, and you will let them experience the greatest failure and defeat.
pain.
In addition, this copycat has already started to move, and it is not that easy to stop. Moreover, copying ten works is copying, copying a hundred works, and copying a thousand works is also copying. As long as you start with this, there is no need for moral integrity or anything like that.
If you talk about it again, more and more will only fall out.
So Xu Yuan let himself go, and in a short period of time, he transferred a large number of excellent works from modern society.
In terms of articles, there are two articles: "The Theory of Chinese Youth" and "The Theory of Evolution of Heaven".
In terms of modern vernacular poetry, there are ten poems including "Haiyan", "Love Life", "I am a Bird", "If Life Deceived You", and "Fragment of Chapter".
In terms of modern songs, there are four songs: "My Motherland", "Homeland", "Wanjiang" and "Chinese Youth".
In addition, there are also thought-provoking famous quotes that inspire struggle. In each issue of "Oriental Times", there will be a special small tofu block with three or five quotes. The famous quotes that have been published so far include -
Can be humbled like dust, but cannot be twisted into maggots
There are no quiet years, but the border soldiers are carrying the burden for you and resisting the darkness.
Despicableness is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.
Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves
Even if the night swallows everything, the sun will come back again
May you be away for half your life and still a young man when you return
Without scars, there would be no rough skin and thick flesh. Heroes have suffered many hardships since ancient times. Looking back, we will see rough terrain; looking forward, we will never give up!
Don’t forget your original intention and live up to your youth
After such a crazy move.
…
In Nanjing, officials and gentry often come to gather in the Orchid Pavilion.
An ups and downs, enthusiastic and passionate voice sounded:
"So today's responsibility does not lie with others, but with my youth. The wisdom of youth will be the wisdom of the country, and the wealth of youth will be the wealth of the country... The red sun rises, and its path shines brightly. The river flows out of the undercurrent, and the vast ocean flows out. The dragon lurks in the abyss, its scale claws
Flying in the sky. Breast tigers roar in the valley, and all beasts are in panic. Eagles and falcons test their wings, and the wind and dust spread. Strange flowers have their first embryos, and they look like emperors. The generals have hair with their hair, and their awns are made. The sky wears its green, and the earth wears its yellow. Even through the ages,
There are eight wastelands. The future is like the sea, and the future is long. How beautiful is my young Chinese, who is as old as the sky! How magnificent is my young Chinese, who is boundless with the country!"
Listen to the content of this paragraph.
It's like a lingering sound.
The Orchid Pavilion was quiet for a long time.
"Okay, it's well written and can be called a majestic article. Even in a hundred or a thousand years, this "Youth Story" will definitely have a place!"
Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, broke the silence and couldn't help but applaud.
"Mr. Yushan, if your comment is spread, the image of Xujiazhuang as vulgar and unliterary will be destroyed. We have lost another city on the road of writing. If we continue like this, we will have nothing to lose and nothing to lose."
Defeated."
Yang Tingshu, a famous scholar in Fushe, said with a bitter face, now many Confucian scholars have rebelled and joined the "Xu Xue". If they continue to lose like this, will the Confucian orthodoxy still have a way to survive?
"We have already failed on the great road, and our poetry and articles have failed, so why can't we accept it?"
Qian Qianyi seemed to be very open-minded and said: "The urgent task is not to save face on the poetry path, but to think about how to get along with 'Xu Xue', how to improve Confucianism itself, and establish New Confucianism, not only to regain competitiveness, but also to think about how to get along with 'Xu Xue'.
We must also be open to all rivers, learn with an open mind, absorb the advantages from the 'Xu family', and integrate them. The best result is that our New Confucianism can be integrated with the 'Xu school', and ultimately achieve a win-win situation regardless of each other."
As soon as these remarks came out.
The gentry present were all stunned, and their eyes focused on him. What exactly did Mr. Yu Shan mean by these remarks that could be called "violent remarks"? What does it mean to be integrated into one body without distinguishing between each other? Doesn't this mean surrender?
Is it true? The Confucian orthodoxy has lost to the point where it needs to give up resistance, take the initiative to change itself, and then seek to integrate with 'Xu Xue'?
"Mr. Yushan, you are old. Xujiazhuang's thoughts are incompatible with ours. How can there be a possibility of integration? In the Ming Dynasty, the two are in the same situation. Only one can survive!" Someone immediately said radically.
"Qian Muzhai, the Confucian tradition has not been greatly damaged, are you going to surrender so soon?"
"Mr. Yushan, no, Qian Qianyi, I misjudged you!"
"Don't be impatient, please listen to me carefully."
Qian Qianyi explained: "Our Confucian sect has been passed down for more than two thousand years. It has gone through countless dynasties and encountered countless crises. Why can we always turn danger into safety and survive to this day? It is not because of powerful force, but because the emperors and generals must
Use Confucianism and value Confucianism, otherwise it will undoubtedly perish... Confucianism is an idea that stabilizes the world. As long as the Ming Dynasty remains, Confucianism will always be there."
"It is just the emergence of the variable Xujiazhuang that our Confucian orthodoxy is in danger of declining among the people at the bottom. It is easy to reverse this decline. We only need to add mercantile and mercantile values to our New Confucianism.
Contents such as productivity, loving the people and raising the people can win over the hearts of the small people. The emphasis on business is our business, the emphasis on productivity, and the development of the productive forces we have. Even if we slightly reduce taxes to support the people, even though
I have moved a lot closer to 'Xu Xue', but my interests have not been lost at all."
"If we continue to insist on our loyalty and filial piety, the court and the emperor will always be on our side. And 'Xu Xue' is like the Mohist school, which advocates equality for everyone, so it is unlikely that we will rebel and become the emperor. And if Xu Yuan is
If you choose to rebel and sit in that position, you will not be able to suppress and eliminate Confucianism. Instead, we will be reused. Regardless of whether you rebel or not, our Confucianism will be in an invincible position."
"In this case, we might as well lower our profile, take the initiative to make friends with and learn from Xujiazhuang, and learn all their agricultural, industrial and commercial skills to enrich ourselves, but gains will not last forever. Now Xujiazhuang is like the rising sun, unstoppable, but in thirty years
Later, fifty years later, a hundred years later? Without the support of the imperial power, like water without a source and a tree without roots, how long can Xujiazhuang be strong? And as long as we wait patiently for a period of time, maybe it won't take many years,' Xu
Learning has been integrated into our Confucianism and has become the nourishment for our strength, making us even stronger and invincible."
After listening to this explanation.
It's bright.
The eyes of many gentry present lit up.
"That makes sense. It makes sense."
"As long as the imperial power needs Confucianism, we will be invincible. However, 'Xu Xue' has no roots, no loyalty, no righteousness, and will run rampant for at most fifty years."
"Wonderful, in the past two thousand years, many forces have taken over the Central Plains, but they were all eventually converted into Xia by Confucianism. The 'Xu Xue' in Xujiazhuang are just barbarians at the level of magic, and they can certainly be turned into barbarians by us!"
"Mr. Yushan, I misunderstood you. Please accept my respect!" The man took the initiative to apologize.
And after the discussion in the Orchid Pavilion ended.
Confucianism has changed.
That soon changed.
Started to become low-key and humble.
He also took the initiative to express that he would learn from the advantages of "Xu Xue", and in the future he would not only be loyal to the emperor, but also love and respect the people even more.
He even said that he would imitate the spirit of Confucius, the sage teacher, who was not ashamed to ask questions, and would send three thousand Confucian disciples to Xujiazhuang to learn scriptures and learn from advanced experience... He took the initiative to show his kindness and extended an olive branch.
…
Regarding these new actions of Confucianism.
Harbor City, inside White Castle.
Listen to the conversations in the tape recorder.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing. It is indeed Confucianism that has a vitality of two thousand years. Without two real brushes, how could it be possible until now? I still underestimated Confucianism. In the face of the existential crisis, the great Confucianists did not continue to be arrogant.
Instead, it made adjustments very flexibly, but this is also reasonable. Confucianism has always bowed to whoever takes control of the Central Plains. Without such flexibility, how could it have lasted for two thousand years?"
"Master Zhuang, this Confucian method of fusion and resolution cannot be said to be cunning and cunning. How should we deal with it? Three thousand Confucian disciples, do we want to reject it immediately?" Li Jin, the rotating consul, asked.
"Why reject three thousand high-quality human resources?"
Xu Yuan said: "No need to refuse, accept them all. First arrange for them to learn the Xujiazhuang knowledge system for half a year and instill our various concepts. When the training is completed, they will definitely be put to great use. It is really impossible to assimilate.
It’s okay to use it as consumables, so there’s no need to refuse.”
"Yes, I understand."
Li Jin nodded, secretly stunned. If it is used as a consumable, then this kind of consumable is too high-end.
Not long after Li Jin left the office.
"Husband~"
At this time, Fang Qingyan walked into the office with a big belly, holding a newspaper in her hand, a faint blush on her face, and a shy smile on her lips, and walked to Xu Yuan's desk
Next to him, he looked at him affectionately and asked: "Husband, was this sentence in the newspaper written specifically for me?"
"Uh~"
Xu Yuan glanced at the newspaper and saw this passage in the tofu piece Fang Qingyan pointed at: For the rest of my life, the wind and snow will be you, the spring will be you, the summer rain will be you, the autumn and yellow will be you, the four seasons will be warm and cold
It's you, the sight is caused by you.
Look again at the look on the woman's face that is full of expectation and happiness.
"Hmm~"
Xu Yuan coughed and nodded: "Yes, when I copied this sentence that day, you did appear in my mind. I wrote it for you."
"I hate it, you just write what you write, why do you need to bring a copy?"
The woman lightly hammered his arm with her pink fist, and immediately said tenderly: "However, I like it very much. Thank you husband. Also, can you write more similar sentences in the future? I like to read it. If it is well written,
I will give you a reward, husband~"
"Uh, no problem, no problem."
Looking at the woman's girlish look, even though she is about to be the mother of three children, even though they are an old married couple and know each other well, I didn't expect that she still has such a sentimental side. A classic sentence,
She was moved like this, or almost all women have similar sensibilities.
Xu Yuan didn't want to burst her pink bubble of happiness, so he had no choice but to go along with the performance.
"Thank you husband!"
Fang Qingyan held his arm and coquettishly, showing great dependence. And just recently, Fang Qingyan suddenly discovered that her husband was so talented, and the poems and songs he wrote were so impressive.
She was shocked and admired, and she saw sentences like "The Rest of My Life" that could touch the softest part of her heart today, and she suddenly realized that she actually loved this man so deeply.
