The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 46 Donkeys and Horses Are the Same?
When Xie Yi first heard that he was sullen, he thought Xiao Qinzhi had written some blasphemous poem, after listening to Chen Tanzhi recite it, he savored it carefully in his heart, he didn't think it was a wonderful poem, it was just Xiao Qinzhi's respect, when It's nothing, he laughed and said:

"This poem is very good, but Yangzhou has 84 counties and [-] counties under its jurisdiction. It is unfair for Qin to write only Jinling and Kuaiji—haha."

Xiao Qinzhi let out a sigh of relief, this test is considered to have passed, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and said solemnly: "I report to the prefect, there is no Ji Kang in the world, and those who are scattered in Guangling and have no Dao Yun, how can they write poems? .”

Xie Taishou stroked his beard and said, "It's not, it's not—"

Yan Lin was still dissatisfied with Xiao Qinzhi's belly, but now he is smiling. Xiao Qinzhi's two poems put Yan Ruoyu on the same level as Xie Daoyun, which is tantamount to mentioning Yan Ruoyu's reputation as a talented woman. Seeing that Xiao Qinzhi didn't have the heart to cling to him, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

The patriarch picked up the wine bottle, drank it in one gulp, and finally fell to the ground with a flustered heart. He only hoped that the banquet would end quickly, and he would leave quickly in the morning, for fear that something would happen on the way.

Diao Lun took the opportunity to smooth things over and said: "Qinzhi, Chen Erlang, you go down first." Then he looked at Prefect Xie and Yan Zhongzheng, and invited, "Come, let's have a drink together."

Unexpectedly, Taishou Xie finished his drink in one gulp, stretched out his hand and said: "Wait a minute, Qinzhi, and wait until I test you. You are not here this afternoon, so you can't treat one more favorably than another."

This kind of treatment is no one else, envied by all the poor families, their eyes want to shine, and they swallow their saliva.

Xiao Qinzhi staggered when he heard it, feeling fearful, "Talking about Xuan", he didn't know it at all, he only memorized a few books in total, plus some words that old man Cui usually said casually.

"Hiss!" Xiao Qinzhi sucked in his breath, thinking of some way to escape openly, in short, he couldn't make a fool of himself in public.

Chen Tanzhi's eyes were bright and he was gearing up, looking at Xiao Qinzhi's uneasy look again, he believed in his heart that Xiao Qinzhi was not good at "talking about mysteries", and because he failed to do things just now, he must redouble his revenge this time.

Xie Taishou said: "Since Qin is good at poetry, he should know that there are three lessons in poetry. What's the explanation?"

This is simple, and Xiao Qinzhi knew it. Old man Cui mentioned this at the beginning of "Comments on Mao Poetry", and immediately replied: "Cheng Ye, Zhi Ye, Zhi Ye?"

"What's the point?"

"Inheriting the good and evil of the king's government, expressing one's own aspirations and writing poems, so holding on to the actions of others, so as not to fall."

"So there are three meanings in the poem, which are published together in "Yi", and answered with "Yi Wei Qian Chiu Du"?"

"The name Yi has three meanings. The so-called three changes are changeable and difficult."

"Answer with "Yi Zan"?"

"Easy and simple is one, changing is two and not easy is three."

Regarding the polysemy of a word, Xiao Qinzhi was flustered at first, but it seems that old man Cui mentioned this when explaining the "Comments to the Book of Songs", so he answered with ease.

Seeing that his father asked such a simple question, Chen Tanzhi couldn't restrain himself anymore, he got up and saluted and said, "I have a question, brother Qin, please answer it."

Xiao Qinzhi's heart tightened again, and Cheng Yaojin ran out halfway, but even though he was filled with overwhelming anger, he could only endure it, and secretly swore: "This time when I go back, I will focus on metaphysics, and I will avenge today's revenge tomorrow." .”

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but it is evil; everyone knows that what is good is good, but it is not good. Wang Bi's note: Joy and anger have the same root, and right and wrong are of the same family, so there is no partiality. Why?" This is the "Laozi" A well-known argument, Chen Tan's amplified tricks can be said to have ulterior motives, and the comers are not good.

It's a pity that Xiao Qinzhi couldn't stand it, he was lucky, he had memorized "Lao Tzu", and he happened to know this point.If you don't understand it, you will think it is very profound, but if you understand it, it is actually the same thing, it is nothing more than one of philosophy.

Xiao Qinzhi was disdainful, and said again: "Brother Tan, is this the end of the skill?"

Later, he talked eloquently: "Knowing beauty is beauty, and distinguishing it from evil; knowing goodness is good, distinguishing it from badness. If you say beauty, you will contain evil outside your words, and if you say good, you will contain evil outside your words. .”

Chen Tanzhi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is beauty and what is goodness?"

Xiao Qinzhi said with emotion: "Beauty is not beautiful, good is not good, knowing is not knowing, knowing beautiful is evil, knowing good is not good."

Chen Tanzhi caught a loophole and refuted it: "The Analects of Confucius says: Know what you know, and what you don't know is what you don't know. This is knowledge. Brother Qin said that knowing is not knowing, isn't it contradictory?"

Xiao Qinzhi retorted decisively: "Brother Tan, do you know that donkeys and horses are in the same trough? Isn't it true that donkeys are horses and horses are also donkeys?"

Chen Tanzhi said angrily, "Please explain."

Xiao Qin's way: "The three chapters of "Laozi": Make the people ignorant and desireless; the four chapters: harmonize with the light and the same dust; Knowing what is beautiful is beautiful, and what is good is good, there is a difference. If there is a bow left by the Jing people, the master said to get rid of the bow, and Laozi said to get rid of the people, that is to say, to kill all people and I to get the mourning. Although evil is not biased, it is just like beauty. "What is not good must be treated, just like evil. Gou pushes the principle of discernment, applying the words of Lao Tzu: "Everyone in the world knows that what is evil is evil, and this is beautiful; everyone knows that what is not good is not good, and this is good. East of the West."

"Therefore, beauty and evil are relative, not contradictory; good and bad are relative, not contradictory. Beauty is evil, good is not good, and knowing is not knowing."

This is a philosophical question. In short, a colony of termites builds a nest on an embankment. For humans, removing termites and protecting the embankment is good, but building a nest of termites is evil; Its lair should be evil, and different standpoints lead to different conclusions.

As for Chen Tanzhiwen's "The Analects of Confucius", it is actually knowing and not knowing, which are not the same thing at all, so Xiao Qinzhi used "donkeys and horses in the same trough" to refute him being speechless.

Xiao Qinzhi was still puzzled, met Chen Tanzhi's bewildered gaze, and said angrily, "Brother Tan, do you know that donkeys and horses are of the same breed?"

"Hahaha" Everyone laughed, Chen Tanzhi didn't want to be the first to settle down first, his face was flushed with anger, and he wanted to fight again, so he stood up angrily, and said sharply: "You——"

At this moment, I suddenly saw the face of Taishou Xie and Yan Zhong flushed, their whole bodies were hot, and they were all undressed, their expressions were ecstasy, this is the effect of Wushi powder, and they need to dissipate heat.

If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it is easy for the medicine to become stagnant and linger, and it will eat back at the body. In mild cases, he vomits blood and becomes comatose, and in severe cases, he may die within a few days.

A large group of disobedient people rushed out of the "Ye Lai" hall together, walked in the Diao's manor, and wandered in the night, so Xiao Qin's battle with Chen Tanzhi was slightly better than Xiao Qin's. until.

Xu Miao was secretly surprised by Xiao Qinzhi's eloquent talk. He moved to his side and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, you just told me earlier that you are not good at mysteries? It's a terrible lie, I mean it Believe it."

Zhao Yunfei smiled and said: "Xianmin, brother Qin is good at chess and poetry, how can he not be good at mystery? Brother Qin said that he is not good at mystery, we all listened to it, but you believe it, so that we can make a joke for us. "

Xu Miao revealed a resentful look.

Xiao Qinzhi said helplessly: "Brother Xianmin, listen to me, what I said just now are all from the book, but I just read it according to the book, I don't have my own opinion, it's not considered profound."

Xu Miao said: "Brother Qin, do you think I believe it or not?"

Xiao Qinzhi said: "I don't care if you believe it or not, anyway, I do."
