Behind Long Yangjun was a short old man with very deep lines on his forehead and corners of his eyes. His eyelids drooped a bit. If he looked down, it would give the impression that this man was asleep.

The old man had a dry goatee and a slightly hunched back. Perhaps because of his poor legs and feet, he walked a little awkwardly.

The whole person looked lackluster, and was originally considered a bit ugly.

I don’t know why these two people came in together.Anyway, the comparison is very brutal.The beautiful ones are really beautiful, and the ugly ones are even uglier in comparison.

Is this Gongsun Long?

The viewers in the live broadcast room have already begun to complain unceremoniously, shouting that this guy is ruining the scene, and they will definitely delete him later!
Guan Yiran: Finally there is someone who can match Wang Yun's beauty, and he is well-deserved!Why do you still have to follow up and destroy the scene?Affects perception!
There are many face-controllers in the live broadcast room. Originally, Gongsun Long would not be so disliked. The mistake was that he appeared with Long Yangjun.

Pretty Girl 007: If you do the math, this grand gathering brought together Confucianists, Mohists, famous scholars, Yin-Yangists, and military strategists. If we count strictly, Lord Longyang is recorded in historical records as having superb swordsmanship and diplomatic skills. He can be considered a diplomat. Home.It’s so lively!
It was indeed lively, and it was rare to have representatives from so many factions gathered together.After Lord Xinling introduced everyone, he slowly began to guide everyone to start the discussion.

Lord Xinling and Wei Qi both had disciples at the meeting, and these people all had their own ideas. Occasionally, some of them made surprising remarks. However, what was surprising was not them. Instead, they looked listless before and were very attracted by the audience. The disgusted Gongsun Long changed into a different person during the debate, very lively and good at debating.

He really has the attitude of fighting with the heroes.

He has the famous "white horse is not a horse" theory, which roughly means that white is white and a horse is a horse. White is the commonality of all whites, not horses, and horse is the commonality of all horses, not whiteness.White horse refers to the commonality of white plus the commonality of horse.So the white horse is not a horse.

The audience wanted to flip the table when they heard it. Although it was not the first time Jiang Anrao heard it, he still felt that this argument was really ridiculous.

This argument is sophistry, and many people are unable to refute it appropriately.

Seeing that no one could refute him, Gongsun Long was very proud. He glanced around and passed Zou Yan. He paused when he saw Xunzi, and then looked at Jiang Anrao.

In terms of age, of all the people present, only Zou Yan was above him, and Zou Yan studied the Yin Yang, Five Elements and Five Virtues the most. He thought about it for a while, but did not say anything to Zou Yan. Instead, he looked at Xunzi and asked:
"What do Xunzi think?"

When Xunzi heard this, he glanced at Zou Yan and Jiang Anrao before speaking.

Jiang Anrao immediately understood the meaning of his glance.

When they first met yesterday, Jiang Anrao complained to Zou Yan, saying that in these debates, many people just argued for the sake of arguing, and what they said was of no use at all!It sounded painful and annoying, and today he was asked by Gongsun Long.

It's really boring!
Xunzi's expression remained normal, but he spoke rudely:
"In this way, it is said that the lawless ancestors are not rituals and righteousness, but are good at curing strange things, playing with Qi's words, observing too much but not benefiting, arguing but useless, doing many things but doing little merit, and cannot be used to govern the rules and disciplines; however, there are reasons for holding them, and their The words are reasonable enough to deceive the fool." As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Long's face immediately turned dark; those who had just been speechless by him covered their faces and snickered.

What does it mean? To put it bluntly, it means: you don’t learn well, and you play around with some weird language and words all day long. It sounds like something, but it is not practical at all.It takes a lot of effort but has no practical use, so it just fools fools!
As Jiang Anrao listened, he suddenly thought of a passage in the Mo Jing Xiao Qi.Later generations always thought that this paragraph was used to explain the theories of famous scholars, so they also said:

"A debater will distinguish between right and wrong, judge the order of chaos, identify similarities and differences, examine the truth of names and facts, determine the interests and harms, and resolve suspicions. He should imitate the nature of all things and seek to compare them with others. Use names to express reality, use words to express meaning, and use words to express reasons. Take things by analogy, and give things by analogy. There are people who are not others, and there are people who are not seeking others.

White horse means horse; riding white horse means riding horse.Lima means horse; riding Lima means riding horse.To gain means to be a person; to love to gain means to love others.Zang means a person; loving Zang means loving people.This is what happens. "

This means: The purpose of debate is to distinguish the difference between right and wrong, to examine the laws of governing chaos, and to clarify the similarities and differences.All this is to determine interests and resolve doubts.Use words to express thoughts and use inferences to reveal reasons.You can generalize and make inferences, but if you agree with certain arguments, don't object to others' agreement. If you don't agree with certain opinions, don't ask others to agree.

That is to say, fix the useful ones and don’t fix the useless ones!

As for the latter part, it was specifically aimed at Gongsun Long’s white horse but not a horse.It is almost obvious that Xunzi said that the person who knows how to argue is nothing but fools, is you Gongsun Long.

After speaking, they met Xunzi's eyes, smiled at each other, and nodded slightly in greeting, indicating that they agreed with each other's statement.

If it were modern, this effort should be applauded and celebrated.

Everyone here tried to save Gongsun Long's face and didn't really laugh out loud.However, the man who had just been beaten into the corner by Gongsun Long was now happy. Seeing Gongsun Long's bad expression, he smiled and added fuel to the fire, praising Xunzi and Jiang Anrao.

As the host, Lord Xinling certainly did not want to disgrace the guests he invited, so he changed the topic. Seeing this, everyone could not refute his face, so they naturally followed the topic.On the other hand, Lord Long Yang, who was sitting not far from Lord Xinling, looked at Jiang Anrao from time to time with an interested look on his face.

When everyone discussed the old topic of which country has the strength to dominate the world today, everyone couldn't decide. Long Yangjun finally spoke, and the question was directly thrown to Jiang Anrao.It’s the same as Xunzi’s original meaning, but what he asked was:

"Why is the Mohist family so sure that the Qin State can sweep across Liuhe and dominate the world? As far as I know, the Jiang family lived in the Song State in the early years, and was originally not well-known. Later, when other countries heard of Jiang Rao's name, the Jiang family had already moved to Qin?

On the way to Qin, we even visited Daliang City.Did the Jiang family know something back then, so they went to Qin without hesitation?

If the great master had not gone to Qin, perhaps the situation in today's world would have been different. "

After saying this, everyone started talking about it. Jiang Anrao said with heart that he looked up to me so much.It seems that because she went to Qin State, Qin State became as strong as it is now!
"The development of countries has its own laws. It cannot be transferred by one person, thing or event. It is impossible for Jiang Rao to influence the destiny of the country. In the age of great strife, everything is a torrent, and we are all just going with it or against it. Those who make the tide are doing their best to do their best.”
