I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 386 The Way of Confucianism
Song Mu was cooking the meat porridge in the small pot, while thinking about the solution to the last question on the scripture volume.

For the classics and meaning questions, Song Mu's thinking for solving the questions is mostly to determine the concept of the question first, and then make innovations on it.

Such a topic is not only difficult to deviate from the theme, but also easy to give people a bright feeling.

But Song Mu really encountered difficulties with these few scriptural questions today.

There may be ways to solve other lyric questions carefully, but only this last question, such an unexpected question type, gives people a very bad feeling.

What's more, these three examples seem to have a connection, but their intentions, or even where the common ground is, is a key that is difficult to grasp.

If there is a slight deviation, this article may have fallen behind.

Song Mu had to be cautious.

This topic is about the talks of sages throughout the ages, but I don't know what core it revolves around, whether it is the emperor, or the ritual, or something that I haven't explored yet.

Besides, after this core, can the remarks of the three be connected, and what exactly do they mean?
Can this be regarded as the innovation of Confucianism, new changes and new developments in Confucianism and Taoism?

Song Mu was thinking like this, but a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had grasped something different at this moment.

Song Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then a word came out of his mind.

development of?

From this point of view, it seems that it is indeed explaining the development of Confucianism and Taoism, but how to make yourself understand the meaning, just explaining the goodness of development, or the future development of Confucianism, seems to be one-sided, and it is inevitable to feel a little confused.

Song Mu's mind was a little confused for a while, he looked down and saw the meat porridge bubbling in the pot, and he simply filled a bowl out, but he was still thinking about it.

Since it is to explain development, it must explain how to develop, and even introduce new ones and write new ones.

But the question comes back to these three sentences. There are so many Confucian sages, such as Xunzi, Zhuangzi, Yang Xiong, Xu Shen, Zheng Xuan, and Han Yu. Why are the words of these people not listed?
Song Mu extinguished the fire, sat down on the board with hot porridge, and looked down at the three words of the sage written on the draft by himself on the table next to him again.

Suddenly, an idea came to Song Mu's mind.

To say that these three people actually have a representative meaning.

Needless to say, Confucius established the framework of Confucianism.

Mencius, he successfully stabilized the status of Confucianism, made Confucianism have more practical content, and established his status as a sub-sage.

Then to Dong Zhongshu, he gave a new interpretation of Confucianism, making Confucianism a necessary product in line with the times since the Han Dynasty.

They represent an important milestone in the development of Confucianism, but also represent something more important.

Confucianism meets the needs of the development of an era.

In line with the times, this is the top priority!
Song Mu raised his brows, quickly put down the hot porridge in his hand, then picked up the brush, and wrote three words on the paper on the table.

The way of Confucianism.

The real purpose of this article is, first, how to discuss the achievements of the three people, and on this basis, let candidates and students look forward to the Confucianism belonging to the Wen Dynasty in a reasonable way.

Song Mu already had a conclusion in his mind.

Since it is the way of Confucianism, then I have grasped the most important link.

In the last life, the next development of Confucianism could not be clearer. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and Yangming Xinxue gave the feudal era a stronger theoretical carrier.

It's just that today, when Confucianism and Taoism are very different, it's not appropriate to think like this.

The Wen Dynasty followed the tradition of Confucianism and Taoism, but made different innovations because of the mysterious literary power of this era.

Literary power makes the position of Confucianism and Taoism firm, and the powerful Confucian children are not subject to the shackles of this trend of thought. On the contrary, because of this strength, there are more differences.

They don't need the shackles of a so-called monarch and minister, but need a firmer belief so that they can use this power to prove that they have no regrets in Confucianism and Taoism!
That being the case, then strip away the appearance and express the essence directly!

Thinking of this, Song Mu suddenly became enlightened, and felt a little unspeakable joy in his heart. He picked up the hot porridge again and ate it in big mouthfuls, ready to start writing immediately.

But at this time Song Mu heard a faint voice coming from outside the Kaoshe.

"good."

Song Mu quickly raised his head, and saw an old man in a red robe with gray beard. At this moment, the other person's gaze was on the draft paper on his desk.

Song Mu was about to get up, but the other party reached out to stop him, and said something to Song Mu with a smile.

"Heart is right, don't be disturbed by me, remember what you think in your heart at this moment."

As he said that, he handed over his hands and turned to leave. Behind him were several officials who were also wearing red robes, and all of them glanced at Song Mu at this moment.

The person who spoke just now was Yan Fu who came to the examination room to observe the situation of the students. He arrived at No. 380 Guiquan first, and smelled a fragrance coming from it. He walked forward and saw a handsome young man approaching Squatting on the ground cooking meat porridge, but frowning tightly, as if thinking about something.

This person is Xie Yuan Songmu from Jiangnan West Road. Yan Fu saw the real person this time, and seeing the other person's concentrated appearance, he immediately had some impressions.

And the other party didn't even notice that he had arrived.

After cooking the porridge, he was sitting on the board to eat, but seeing him holding the bowl and thinking, the next moment his brows were relieved, and he got up and wrote a few words.

Yan Fu naturally saw the few lines on the draft paper at a glance.

It seems that Song Mu was thinking about the last question of the scriptures and meanings, but the other party wrote three words after this question, the way of Confucianism.

When Yan Fu saw these words, he nodded secretly in his heart. Seeing the sudden smile on the other party's face, he also felt that this young man really lived up to his reputation and had some abilities.

This time, because the questions of His Majesty's Palace Examination were too unusual, the Tribute Court urgently revised the questions, and several elders from the Ministry of Rites jointly produced this new volume.

And the biggest highlight of this new volume is the last question on it.

Abandoning the previous search for sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics to start the topic, and adding a sentence of Dong Zi's words, it became an extremely exquisite lyric topic.

However, Yan Fu could tell that those elders had put their difficulties with Confucianism on the examination room, hoping that these students who were not deeply involved in the world would give a slightly different explanation.

After all, what these three Confucian and Taoist sages said is the way of governing the country, even the way of monarchs and ministers, but in the final analysis, what they explain is the change and development of Confucianism and Taoism.

Confucianism and Taoism of Confucius are benevolence, righteousness and propriety.

Mencius' Confucianism and Taoism are benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom.

Dong Zi's Confucianism and Taoism are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust.

There are extensions, innovations, and more importantly, every change in concept is a beneficial change to fit the times at that time.

After the establishment of the Wen Dynasty, although Confucianism and Taoism had undergone earth-shaking changes, they still inherited many old systems. Although there are benefits, there are inevitably disadvantages.

In the 300 years of the Wen Dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism were not the mainstream to protect the king, and Confucianism and Taoism in the king's leadership were also slightly behind. With the emergence of Shizong and the emergence of literary power, Confucianism has undergone many changes.

At that time, Chuck Confucianism said, "Study Confucianism and be the world, not the so-called monarch and minister."

It seems to be a rebellious statement, but it is in line with the situation of the Wen Dynasty.

It’s just that this is not a clear idea. What Confucianism needs is the enthusiasm and belief to lead people all over the world to maintain Confucianism.

To study Confucianism, what should be done, and what should be done?

This Song Mu has now figured out the intention, if he can write this hope, then he just has to wait and see.

Yan Fu praised unconsciously at the moment, seeing the other party looking up, afraid of interrupting the other party's thoughts, he comforted him, and then walked away in satisfaction.

Yan Fu looked at the many students in the scene again, but felt that the gloom in his mind just now dissipated for a short time.

With the existence of these Wen Dynasty literati, life is endless, the Wen Dynasty is immortal, and the human race is immortal.

Maybe, I can really get a glimpse of a different future in this paper.

And this time the Holy Book Jiezi is a holy word.

……

Song Mu was a little confused about the sudden appearance of the adult, but at the moment his heart calmed down, and he felt even more relaxed.

Now that I have understood the important intentions of this, as for the next thing, how to write it, it needs to be carefully polished.

If this volume can be completed, Song Mu feels that if he lives up to his hard study day and night, he will gain the learning of two lifetimes.
