Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Gao Jing smiled and said: "But I respect him, and he will naturally respect me, welcome me! People need mutual respect!"

Yan Lingji nodded thoughtfully, and said, "That's it, I understand."

Gao Jing brought out the small table in the carriage, and greeted him, "Come and eat, Brother Dianqing, sit down and eat too!"

Dianqing nodded and sat down beside him.

Yan Lingji was naturally even more impolite.

The three of them ate while looking at the environment.

There are archers standing on the walls on both sides, the field is empty, only a wooden high platform, a man with disheveled hair, sitting quietly on the high platform.

Obviously wearing shackles, but just closing the meditation, he has a calm demeanor.

This should have been neglected.

Chapter 59 Famous Artists

Gao Jing is definitely not the only one who can guess the absolute sound of "High Mountain and Flowing Water"!

Many schools of thought also came, but they were not as dignified as Gao Jing, who entered through the main entrance, reported their identities, and registered their names.

On the tall buildings at the city gate and on the roof of the main building, there were several figures standing in batches—they were the other people mentioned by the Qin officials.

Yan Lingji and Dianqing also saw those people, Yan Lingji couldn't help asking: "Who are those people?"

Gao Jing could only half-guess: "The one in the black robe should be the giant of the Mo family, the six-fingered black man. As for the one next to him... I guess, it might be the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom, Ji Dan!"

Yan Lingji was startled: "A giant of the Mo family? The crown prince of Yan country dares to come to Qin country?"

"So he covered up his appearance."

"Then how did you know?"

"Guess."

Yan Lingji was speechless, continued to look around, and suddenly said in surprise: "It's that Xi Guanzi from last night..."

Gao Jing covered her mouth, and said in a low voice: "He didn't wear a Heguan, which means he didn't show up as a Heguanzi, so let's not reveal his identity."

In the distance, He Guanzi, who had changed into a different outfit, glanced this way.

Yan Lingji's eyeballs rolled cleverly, and she nodded to show her understanding.

Gao Jing let go of his hand, changed direction, and said, "The old man over there is probably Chu Nangong."

Yan Lingji Wugan: "I've never heard of it."

Gao Jing introduced casually: "He is the most famous sage in the Chu country, and he once said that "Although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu must die"."

Yan Lingji pursed her lips and said: "Chu State was beaten by Qin State and ran away with its head in its arms, and Qin State also died?"

"Not now, but the future!" Gao Jing said softly.

Regarding the future of Qin, Gao Jing has already analyzed it for the two of them.

Yan Lingji was startled: "Is this old man as smart as you?"

Gao Jing said seriously: "If the six countries say that they hate Qin the most, Chu is the most. Although Zhao hates it, in the final analysis, it is out of fear. Only Chu really hates Qin, the kind that will never die!"

Yan Lingji asked curiously: "Why?"

Gao Jing explained: "Except for the Xiang family whose surname is Ji, the nobles of Chu State all have the surname Mi. The same surname is equivalent to a common ancestor... But when Bai Qi sent troops to attack Chu, Yiling was set on fire and Yiling was missing. The tombs of the monarchs of the Chu Kingdom are equivalent to Bai Qi burning their ancestral tombs. Do you think the Chu people can't hate it?

In addition, King Huai of Chu was tricked by King Zhaoxiang of Qin to come to Wuguan, where he was imprisoned to death.

However, the territory of Chu State is vast, and in the future when Qin State is unified, those who oppose Qin State will inevitably gather in Chu State... So Chu Nangong's words are also well-founded! "

More than just a basis, it is simply a prediction!

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are from Chu State.

Xiang Liang Xiang Yu, a native of Chu.

Liu Bang, a native of Chu State.

Yan Lingji was speechless, and whispered: "This old man is so powerful!"

Dianqing glanced at Gao Jing silently: Chu Nangong is powerful, but he is already old, and this one in front of him is only eleven or twelve years old... Who is the powerful one?

Gao Jing warned: "So, never look down on anyone!"

Yan Lingji nodded obediently, pointed to the door not far away, and said, "Why are there still children here?"

Gao Jing: "...how do you talk?"

Yan Lingji giggled and said, "Look, there is also an old man with a little girl... about your age."

Gao Jing sighed inwardly, and said, "It should be the famous Gongsun Long, as for that little girl... probably his granddaughter, Gongsun Linglong."

Not to mention, Gongsun Linglong, who is not crooked, is quite cute.

"Famous?"

Yan Lingji thought for a while, and said, "Huh? You don't seem to have told me about the famous family?"

Gao Jing nodded and said: "The idea of ​​famous scholars originated from ritual officials. At that time, Confucius emphasized "rectification of names", while famous scholars paid attention to "name" and "truth". For example, the horse pulling our cart is a "black horse". This is true!

In turn, I named the horse "White Dog", and that's the name!

Then I ask you, is the white dog a black horse? "

"Eh..." Yan Lingji was dumbfounded.

The corner of Dianqing's mouth twitched, he looked at the dark horse, then at Gao Jing, and remained silent.

Gao Jing said with a smile: "So famous scholars study the logic, law and form of thinking on the basis of "name" and "truth"... At that time, they were called "debaters", but the latecomers gave up "realness". They just blindly pursue sophistry on "name", so they are called "famous masters", which is no longer worth mentioning."

Yan Lingji asked curiously: "Then why is it still one of the hundred schools of thought?"

"Because of two people."

Gao Jing explained: "One is called "Deng Xi", who was the former doctor of Zheng Guo, and he put forward the "Ambivalence Theory"."

"What is "ambiguity"?"

Gao Jing thought for a while, and said: "Once there was a flood in the Wei River, a rich man in Zheng State was washed away by the flood and drowned. Later, someone salvaged the rich man's body, and when the rich man's family learned about it, they went to redeem it. dead body, but the other party asked for a high price.

So, the rich man's family came to Deng Xi and asked him for advice.

Deng Xi said to the family of the rich: You can go home with peace of mind, those people can only sell you the corpse, others will not buy it.

As a result, the families of the rich no longer went to find the dead to buy the corpse.

The person who found the corpse was in a hurry, so he also came to ask Deng Xi for advice.

Deng Xi said to him again: Don't worry, the families of rich people have no other place to buy back the corpse except from you.

This is "Ambivalence", both views are right and correct, but Deng Xi, as a neutral person, has no position... Right and wrong have always only changed because of the change of position! "

Yan Lingji was stunned, and said: "So South Korea and Chu State sent troops to attack Yue State, there is no right or wrong, only position?"

Dianqing also thought about it: "Qin State attacked Wei State because of their positions... I am on the side of Wei people, so I hate Qin State."

Gao Jing nodded and said: "This kind of thinking has contributed to the knowledge of all schools of thought, so all schools of thought recognize today's "famous schools"."

Yan Lingji nodded and said, "What about the other person?"

"Huishi, also known as Huizi."

"What did he propose?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.

Gao Jing didn't have time to speak.

On the contrary, it was the old man over there who said: "The theory of "contract differences" and "the theory of solid whiteness"... Confucianism is highly regarded, and its reputation is indeed well-deserved!".

Chapter 60 Debaters

Gao Jing was not embarrassed to be pointed out, and bowed his hands to Gongsunlong to salute.

Gongsun Long snorted, there was no regular meeting at all.

Gao Jing smiled, but he wasn't angry. Although what he said was the truth, it was really unpleasant, and people should be angry.

Yan Lingji glanced over there secretly, and asked in a low voice: "What is "Jianbai Theory"?"

Although Gongsun Long didn't look this way, his ears were obviously pricked up.

As for Gongsun Linglong beside him, he stared angrily at Gao Jing with a small face.

A hundred schools of thought contend, when they meet together, it is inevitable that they will have to debate, and in the end they will fight... There have been many such situations, and the various schools of thought have gradually formed a tacit understanding.

For example, in the current scene, everyone is here to join in the fun, so don't interfere with each other, just pretend that the other party doesn't exist.

Gongsun Long was also really angry before speaking.

Gao Jing smiled, without intentionally covering up his voice, and said: "It refers to a hard white stone, which has three concepts of "hard", "white" and "stone".

Among them, "white" and "stone" can be seen with eyes, but "firm" can only be felt by touching with hands.

Therefore, when a person only observes with his eyes, the conclusion is "white stone"; when he closes his eyes and touches it with his hands, he concludes "hard stone".

Only when you see it with your eyes and touch it with your hands, can the conclusion be "hard white stone".

But whether it is "white stone", "solid stone" or "hard white stone", these three "names" are all the same stone and the same "realness"! "

Yanling Jitou said: "It's so complicated and troublesome! What's the use of this thing?"

Gao Jing shook his head and said, "This is for cultivating people's logical thinking, you... oh!"

Yan Lingji bumped her head on Gao Jing's shoulder in dissatisfaction: "I'm not stupid... I'm not going to learn from you slowly!"

The silent Dianqing asked: "Then what is the "contract difference"?"

Gao Jing opened his mouth and was about to speak.

"It's enough!"

A crisp voice interrupted directly, that little girl Gongsun Linglong ran over angrily, glared at Gao Jing and said angrily, "Do you dare to have a debate with me?"

Gao Jing smiled and shook his head, he didn't want to bully the child.

On the contrary, Yan Lingji said excitedly: "I'll come! I'll come!"
