Think about how old Luo Zhi is, already 36 years old, how old is Luo Xin?Only 12 years old.

Although Luo Heng still had expectations for Luo Zhi in his heart, hoping that Luo Zhi could pass the examination, but at this time he had already placed Luo Xin on the same level as Luo Zhi.

In fact, not only Luo Heng, but also the three scholars of Shanglin Village, Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi, all put Luo Xin in the same position as them.Although the three of them, one is Luo Xin's adoptive father, one is Luo Xin's first teacher, and the other is Luo Xin's uncle, and they are all Luo Xin's elders, but something in the literati's bones makes them think that even if the younger generation has reached the academic level If they are in the same realm as them, then at least they are of the same class in terms of learning.

So all the villagers in Shanglin Village realized that since then, there was another person they looked up to in Shanglin Village. Luo Xin already had the same prestige as Zhang Shu, Lin Chang, and Luo Zhi.

Luo Zhi's mood is very complicated, he is happy in his heart, he is happy for his nephew, and he no longer despises Luo Xin before.At the same time, I also felt tremendous pressure in my heart. My nephew was basically sure that he would pass the examination as a scholar, so he would take the provincial examination with him.If he didn't pass the exam but his nephew did, he wouldn't know where his face would be at home in the future?

You must know that he has always been the pride of the Luo family before, and he is the only scholar in the Luo family, and he is also a scholar.The status in the family is actually higher than that of the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother Luo Ping.But when I thought that if I failed the exam and my nephew did...

He didn't dare to think!

He is different from Zhang Shu and Lin Chang. These two people are already old and have given up scientific research.So there is nothing unnatural about facing Luo Xin.He is going to the examination room with his nephew!

Under the tremendous pressure, his jumping temperament changed.It was extremely rare that on the second day when Luo Xin was listed and had no visitors, and when he wanted to concentrate on studying for the Taoist examination, he also retreated to study.

Naturally, Luo Xin thanking guests behind closed doors is not for studying to face the Dao exam, he is no longer able to improve his knowledge by studying behind closed doors, he needs to travel and broaden his knowledge.

His sole purpose of thanking guests behind closed doors is to sort out some things and write a book or a book on basic academics. This idea came to him on the way back to Shanglin Village.And once this idea surfaced, it was as deep-rooted as it was rooted.

The reason why Luo Xin came up with this idea was that on the one hand, he needed a real reputation in the scholar circle to protect his future career, and on the other hand, he had the ability.Because he is not writing these books alone, but standing on the shoulders of giants.

After Jiajing, although there were no founding patriarchs like Zhu Xi and Wang Mingyang, there were many great Confucians, such as Liu Zongzhou in the late Ming Dynasty and Huang Zongxi in the early Qing Dynasty.There are also many masters in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even Confucian masters in the late Republic of China.

not to mention……

In the era of information explosion in the later generations, there are many novel viewpoints and in-depth research on the study of Confucianism. That is to say, Luo Xin has a huge database, and all he needs is to sort out these materials and form a system.This is relatively easy.

Therefore, as soon as Luo Xin returned to Shanglin Village, he started with great enthusiasm.

However, what he thought was simple, but when he actually started to do it, he found that it was not as simple as he imagined.

The first is the huge amount of data. Not to mention the novel views and in-depth research of later generations, Luo Xin spent a lot of energy just sorting out the data from the Jiajing period to the Republic of China.This is still in the case that there are already transcribed materials in Luo Xin's big box.The ideological system of these materials is not uniform. Generally speaking, there are two systems, one is Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism system, and the other is Wang Mingyang's Psychology system.

Besides, in the age of information explosion in later generations, there were also many materials that could be integrated into the era of Daming, but these materials were too fragmented. According to the opinions of everyone, it is definitely a challenge to integrate these fragmentary materials into a system. difficult process.

Luo Xin didn't do anything for the first three days. All he thought about was which system of thought his book was inclined to, whether it was Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism or Xinxue.

There is no doubt that Confucianism is in line with the emperor's idea of ​​ruling the world, which is also an important reason why Xinxue was suppressed during the Jiajing period.But Luo Xin's heart is more inclined to the philosophy of unity of knowledge and action.

For example, Liu Zongzhou was a supporter of Confucianism when he was young, but later he became a believer who spared no effort to promote Xinxue.Because the idea of ​​knowing is difficult and doing is easy in Neo Confucianism makes scholars indulge in exaggeration all day long, without actual actions. For example, the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty has forgotten the foundation of Confucianism.

Luo Xin thought for three days, and he boldly set a goal for himself, that is, based on Neo-Confucianism and Psychology, dig out the foundation of Confucianism, remove the exaggeration in Neo-Confucianism, and also remove the nothingness in Psychology, and make the purest Confucianism is basically written.

As a result, the difficulty increased again. Fortunately, he has a huge database, and the big box contains all the materials he transcribed.Moreover, they are all classic materials, which are classic articles written by great Confucians in history. The first step he has to do now is to screen, and it is a rough screen.

Then he began to re-read the roughly selected books, taking a quill to circle the places that he thought were exaggerated and nihilistic in the book. superior.

So the dozen or so books on the table are not books that Luo Xin wants to write at all, but some insights in his heart.Up to now, the work of careful selection is not over yet.At this time, Luo Xin's heart had calmed down, and he had already realized that this was a long-lasting job.

In nearly a month, Luo Xin has not re-read the books in the box, let alone carefully selected them.Moreover, Luo Xin read very slowly. He found that when he screened these classic articles of later generations as a database, the feeling of reading was completely different from the usual reading.This is a process of getting rid of decay and preserving essence, and it is also a process of forming his own ideological system, so he thinks more and gets more, which actually improves his knowledge that has not been improved for a long time, and this improvement is the ideological system. The promotion is the promotion of realm.

After discovering this situation, Luo Xin read more slowly, and took longer to think. Often it took a long time to think after reading two pages, so his progress was even slower, but Luo Xin was completely Indulge in it.
