Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Gong Xihua is a master of etiquette, and he also pushed the etiquette of a small country to the position within his power.

When everyone can use their abilities to the best and use them to govern the country, then is the pursuit of the "joy of the past"!

Therefore, the highest pursuit of Confucianism is "the joy of Zeng Dian"! "

Yan Lingji was stunned, as if thinking of something, she couldn't help being fascinated.

Dianqing also yearned forward: "If the world is peaceful and the people live a good life, I am willing to do the same as Zeng Dian and take Sanniang to accompany my husband on a spring outing!"

Gao Jing laughed loudly, and said: "Hahaha, big brother also has to "joy once"!"

……

After all, "The Analects of Confucius" is just the words of Confucius compiled by Confucius' disciples. There are many words that must be interpreted in conjunction with the scene, the relationship between characters, and the background of the times.

Instead of just reading a sentence!

If you read "The Analects of Confucius" carefully, you will find that Confucius and his disciples are not rigid and pedantic, but they get along very interesting and humorous.

The carriage continued to set off towards Xinzheng, and Gao Jing sat on the carriage, telling jokes to Dianqing and Yan Lingji:

"...Zeng Zi, not Zeng Dian, but Zeng Shen, he also has "Zeng Zi San Le." "

There are relatives to be feared, princes to do, and sons to leave behind, and this is one joy; relatives to admonish, princes to leave, and sons to be angry with, these two joys; princes to describe, friends to help, This three music also.

It is a pleasure to have relatives to be in awe of, to have kings to serve, and to have children to pass on.

There are relatives to persuade you, a king to abandon you, and children to beat and scold. These are two joys.

There is a king who can make you use metaphors to ridicule, and there are friends who can help you, these are the three joys..."

The so-called "ant enters the millstone, all roads lead to"!

In Zengzi Sanle, relatives not only let you be in awe, but also for your advice; the king, not only let you serve, but also let you fire his squid, and also let you use spring and autumn brushwork to insinuate; son, not only can inherit your flowers Oh, I can be your punching bag again...

Interpreting the tangled interpersonal relationships in the world in this way, it is hard not to be happy.

Before Gao Jing finished speaking, Yan Lingji laughed so hard that she rolled in the carriage.

He laughed and said, "It's really not easy to be the king of your Confucianism!".

Chapter 65 Mozi

It was another stable day, and there were still two days away from Xinzheng.

Before they could catch up with the town, the three of Gao Jing lit a bonfire and camped in the wild. On the fire was a wild boar hunted by Lianqing, dripping oil under the flames.

Yan Lingji enthusiastically took a sword and cut a hole in the wild boar, and wiped the salt on it.

Gao Jing sat by the fire, opened the wordless book to study the Mohist thoughts left by the Black Man with Six Fingers.

Heixia Six Fingers couldn't understand many things, he was just recounting them, and Gao Jing listened roughly, and told the part he could understand on the spot, which had already caused Heixia Sixfingers to be shocked, so he left behind the token of Mohist leadership .

There are still many things to think about slowly.

Probably because he came from the age of science and technology, Gao Jing has always had an inexplicable intimacy with the Mohists, because the Mohists he knew in his previous life are a group of scientists who study machinery, help the weak, and fight against the strong. of charm.

However, when Gao Jing really studied Mohism, Gao Jing couldn't help sighing: "Mo Di, you are taller than I thought!"

"Mozi" said: "thick, somewhat big."

What does that mean?It is an object, only with thickness can it have volume, this is already a three-dimensional concept!

"Mozi" also said: If you don't allow a ruler, there is a limit; if you don't allow a ruler, there is infinity.

That is to say, "Mozi" believes that if the area is limited and cannot be expanded outward by one foot, then it is a limited area; if the area is endless and can be expanded outward arbitrarily, then it is an infinite area.

After 800 years, a foreigner named Descartes proposed the introduction of variable mathematics to discuss dialectics!

For another example, "Mozi" said: Long-term migration and migration, Yujiu, north and south are in Dan, and there is Mo.

Long is time, and place is space, which shows that time and space are relative!

"Mozi" said: Strength is the reason why punishment is vigorous.

Force is what causes people and objects to move.

……

Gao Jing already thought of Mo Di very highly, but he didn't expect Mo Di to be much taller than he thought!

Many people know Mozi's "small hole imaging", but they don't know that Mozi has proposed that light travels along a straight line, and discussed the imaging of plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and spherical mirrors.

Mozi also used the principle of acoustics to create the Popping Listener, which is the oldest monitor.

These are only Mozi's scientific research discoveries.

Mozi also has a simple materialistic philosophical thought. In terms of epistemology and logic, his views are really amazing. When he talks about his thoughts and views, he will use logic to dialectical.

Mozi never speculates, and never talks nonsense. All his views have a set of dialectics that can be justified.

He put forward three methods in logic: debate, class and reason.

For example, there is a well-known proposition in modern times, the hare cannot catch up with the tortoise crawling in front of him, because the hare must first reach the starting point of the tortoise, and when he reaches that point, the tortoise crawls forward.

Mozi solved this problem with his logical method: imagine a certain distance, reach the end, go halfway through, cut off, the remaining half, and then cut half, remaining a quarter as in the previous method... After such an infinite number of times, must reach the end.

Mozi was born in Confucianism, but after founding Mohism, many things had to be contrary to Confucianism.

Through the logic created by himself, Mozi is bullying children, making Confucianism worthless...

No wonder the relationship between Mohism and Confucianism is so rigid!

It is also based on the logic created by Mozi, and the concepts advocated by Mohists, such as "universal love, non-aggression, thrifty use, enlightenment of ghosts, will of heaven, non-life, Feile..." and so on, can be expressed with his logic. From Qia.

Only a reason that can be explained can be accepted by others - that's why the Mo family can be so strong!

……

When Gao Jing was watching with relish, Dianqing of the roasted wild boar suddenly stood up, looking vigilantly into the darkness not far away.

Dianqing's size was huge, and he moved too fast when he got up, which naturally alarmed Gao Jing and Yan Lingji.

The two also looked in the direction Dianqing was looking at.

A thin figure slowly approached from the darkness, holding two black and white swords in both hands, blood still dripping from the sword.

The smell of blood came.

"Black and white Xuanjian?" Gao Jing asked in surprise.

Dianqing looked at the black and white Xuanjian with complicated eyes.

Black and white Xuanjian also looked at Dianqing, and after a while turned his gaze to Gao Jing, and said calmly: "The killer of the net, I will help you solve it."

"Forehead……"

Gao Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you so much! Would you like to come and have something together?"

Heihei Xuanjian was silent for a moment, waved his hands, threw the blood off the sword, inserted it back into his waist, and silently walked to the bonfire and sat down.

Yan Lingji walked around him cautiously and approached Gao Jing.

The murderous aura on Black and White Xuanjian was too strong.

Dianqing looked at Black and White Xuanjian, then looked at Gao Jing, and after Gao Jing nodded slightly, he continued to roast the wild boar in silence.

Gao Jing closed the book and tucked it back into his waist, looked at Black and White Xuanjian, and said, "What state are you in now?"

Black and white Xuanjian stared at the flames, and said, "I don't know, so I'm here to ask you."

Gao Jing frowned, thoughtful.

Black and white Xuan Jian said: "I always thought I was dead, until I was pointed between my eyebrows by you, it seemed like I woke up suddenly from a dream, but I couldn't fall asleep again."

"I'm guessing a little bit, and I don't know if it's right."

Gao Jing thought about it and said: "When we scholars are learning, we must be "sincere and righteous", that is, to reduce distracting thoughts and make the mind pure, so that we can learn everything quickly and understand...

When you know and stop, you will have steadiness, and then you will be able to be calm after steadiness.

We can only reduce distracting thoughts as much as possible, but under special circumstances, you only have "one thought" left, and your mind becomes extreme, abandoning all "consciousness", leaving only "one thought"...

According to Confucianism, you have crossed the "constant" state and directly penetrated into the "quiet" state, and you have penetrated so deeply that you can even reflect the "intent" of others...

It's just that your state is too extreme, and your mind doesn't grow step by step. You can only slow down the loss by sleeping, and use other people's "concept" as your own "concept", so you have become "Eight Linglong"!

As a human being, it is impossible not to have your own "intent". I will awaken your original heart, and your original heart will radiate your own will, which is your current state.

To put it simply, I knocked you out of the "quiet" environment... Did you understand? "

Black and white Xuanjian replied silently: "En!".

Chapter 66 Goodbye Black and White Xuanjian

"The Analects of Confucius Yong Ye Pian": Confucius said: "Above the average person, you can speak well; below the average person, you can't speak well."

Talking about the realm of a scholar with a person who doesn't read, there is always a feeling of playing the piano with a cow.

It's like now, Gao Jing doesn't know how to explain the state of Black and White Xuanjian.

But the purpose of Black and White Xuanjian's visit was to ask Gao Jing about his status, and for this reason, he also solved the trap killer for Gao Jing and the others.

"Crack!"

The wood in the campfire exploded.

The four of them sat quietly by the fire, and no one spoke.

After a long time, Gao Jing finally opened his mouth to break the silence, saying: "everyone is born with a heart that is neither good nor evil, and this heart only has the ability of "cognition", and as a person grows up, , Constantly adding new "cognition"!

With "cognition", there will be "consciousness", such as wanting to eat when you are hungry, this is "natural law".

Both Confucianism and Taoism advocate "natural principles", but Confucianism does not oppose "human principles". For example, when you "know" delicious food, you want to eat delicious food.

But after eating delicious food once, you want to eat more delicious food. This is "human desire", and it is the intention of "greed".

People's original mind is "cognition" all the time, and people's "will" is also in motion all the time!

As for Xuan Jian, in a certain special environment, all kinds of "intentions" disappeared, and only one intention, one thought, remained, and that was hatred!

In short, all your "natural principles" and "human principles" are only hatred, you have abandoned your original cognition and your own "will", and achieved true "single-mindedness", and your soul has reached a Unbelievable realm.

This kind of situation is too extreme and too rare. Have you ever seen that Avenger doesn't need to eat, drink and sleep? "
