Three Kingdoms

In the Cai Mansion, Cai Yong seemed to be lost in memories. The friendship between him and Lu Zhi was like that between Hu Guang and Chen Qiu. Although they did not become friends, they admired each other.

Cai Yong and Lu Zhi also admired each other's literary qualities during the process of compiling the Xiping Stone Classic...

Those who participated in the compilation of the Xiping Stone Classics at that time included Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Ma Rixi, Yang Biao, Han Shuo and others, all of whom had family roots.

However, there were a lot of academic disputes during the compilation process...

Cai Yong looked at Fei Qian and felt that since Fei Qian was about to officially get involved in the whirlpool of Luoyang, some things still need to be explained to Fei Qian a little bit, so he asked: "Do you know that in the world today, except for things? In addition to the dispute between ancient and modern times, is there also a dispute between ancient and modern times?"

The war between east and west?

It is probably the dispute between Kanto and Kansai, that is, the struggle between Dong Zhuo's faction and Yuan Yang's faction.

But what is the dispute between ancient and modern times?

Fei Qian thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and said tentatively: "But the dispute between the ancient text and the modern text?"

Cai Yong smiled slightly and said: "That's right. The ancient and modern have been fighting for a long time. The Qin Dynasty burned books, and many of them were lost. Later, they were completed by the great scholars from Qi, Lu, Yan, and Zhao. However, they were dictated, and the meanings of the words were many. Errata..."

Fei Qian nodded. He only knew a little about this matter after coming to the Han Dynasty. Especially when he was in Jingxiang, he had some discussions with Pang Tong...

The cause of this matter is actually the dispute between schools during the Warring States Period. After the Emperors of Yan and Huang had a big sign of worshiping heaven and practicing Taoism, the princes and emperors, in order to better rule the people under them, and in order to allow shepherds to always have the right to shepherd sheep, Just keep looking for the right religion...

From the Xia to the Shang Dynasty, and from the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial power gradually broke away from the tribal alliance leader form and put on more of a sacred cloak. However, this cloak was used to deceive those heads of Guizhou who did not know the truth. As for the "literary officials" in front of them, they knew exactly what was going on. Therefore, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many incidents of "literary officials" and lower officials committing crimes and attacking the princes.

This also led to the fact that after the later talented and ambitious rulers came to power, on the one hand, they hoped to pass on the throne from generation to generation, and on the other hand, they were worried that someone would threaten the throne in the future. Therefore, they urgently hoped for a way to imprison the nobles, including the nobles. It is a tool for people's thinking, so at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the contention of a hundred schools of thought began...

At that time, the Zhou royal family was in decline, and the princes were in power. The "Zhou Rites" that maintained the feudal patriarchal hierarchy were greatly damaged. The princes fought for hegemony, and the society was in turmoil. At this time, intellectuals representing the interests of various classes were extremely active and became an important social force. They stepped onto the historical stage one after another, wrote books and proposed solutions to practical social problems, forming a prosperous situation in which a hundred schools of thought contended.

The most famous among them are Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, and Mohism.

Each of them designed a governance plan for the emerging ruling class to end separatism and achieve unification, which laid the foundation for the choice of social governance ideas after the Qin and Han Dynasties.

This kind of struggle between schools reached its peak in the late Warring States period. The final result was that the Qin State, which believed in Legalism, unified the Central Plains with its iron blood. However, after the unification, although the same culture and the same track were implemented, it was still found that the collapse of the old There were actually different voices whispering above the ruins of the world, so an academic massacre was carried out...

Many Confucian classics were destroyed and lost at that time.

However, it was the first time that the Legalists of the Qin Dynasty were an academic sect that came to power, and there was no concrete experience from their predecessors to draw reference from. Therefore, in the end, the Legalists followed the Qin Dynasty and tragically took their lunch boxes and went to rest.

In the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang first adopted Huang-Lao's Taoism to rule. Later, he found that Huang-Lao's teachings of "uncontested" were not suitable for his rule, so he kept looking for other ways. It was against this background that Confucianism came to the fore. onto the stage of history...

However, the classics were indeed damaged too much in the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, in order to establish a relatively complete system, many great Confucian scholars appeared one after another and contributed their own classics. However, these classics were different from the remaining pre-Qin scriptures that were later discovered. There are some differences, the most important one is the different positioning of Confucius' role. In order to promote the status of Confucianism, Jin Wen Jing deliberately worships Confucius and elevates Confucius to the status of Xuansheng Su Wang; while Gu Wen Jing still believes that Confucius He is just an educator and historian, but Gu Wenjing admires King Wen of Zhou even more...

Cai Yong said: "Nowadays, there are many people in the government and the public who are at odds with each other because of the ancient and modern conflicts. You need to be careful. If there are those who talk about the scriptures and make subtle righteousness, they are mostly about the modern scriptures. Just listen to them and there is no need to argue."

While Fei Qian nodded to accept the instruction, he thought to himself that it turns out that Master Cai Yong is a moderate sect of ancient scriptures, and he was also worried that I would cause unnecessary disputes because of other people's different interpretations of some scriptures.

Fei Qian couldn't help but feel touched in his heart. Master Cai Yong really cared for him as if he were a child! I remember that when I had just graduated from college and was about to start working, my parents told me that if there was any dispute in the company, just listen to it and don't get involved...

This is really...

Ancient knowledge is limited by words and carriers, so it is recorded in a relatively simple and obscure way. Therefore, for the same scripture or even the same sentence, there will be some ambiguities due to different personal interpretations, especially in the Han Dynasty. There was no era of sentence segmentation, which often led to disputes between the two schools of thought...

Fei Qian suddenly thought of a question. Cai Yong was the defender of the ancient scripture school, so who in the court was the supporter of the modern scripture?

Unexpectedly, Cai Yong shook his head with regret and said: "There are many people who study the ancient scriptures, but there are not many people who study the ancient scriptures. Lu Ziqian is also a master of the ancient scriptures. It's a pity..." Cai Yong only mentioned one person who has left the court. Lu Zhi, no one else said whether it belongs to the modern scriptures or the ancient scriptures. On the one hand, they are worried that Fei Qian will know who is studying the modern scriptures, so he will act towards someone or be hostile to someone. This is not good for It is undoubtedly inappropriate for a new person to enter the court, and it is also contrary to Cai Yong's consistent philosophy of gentleman being unfriendly; on the other hand, Cai Yong has also encountered people who originally studied ancient scriptures, but later due to various reasons He turned around and fell into the arms of Jin Jing, so it was not easy to tell Fei Qian...

This time, Cai Yong agreed so readily to transport his collection of books. On the one hand, he was impressed by Fei Qian's sincerity. On the other hand, it was also because the Ancient Classics School itself had few books, unlike the Modern Classics School, which could compile its own books. I couldn't bear to let the slips suffer losses again.

Fei Qian suddenly asked: "I wonder if Wang Situ has learned from Jin Jing?" Now Situ Yang Biao resigned, and Wang Yun came back as Situ, but he still served as minister.

Cai Yong looked at Fei Qian and was obviously curious as to why Fei Qian asked Wang Yun alone. But since Fei Qian asked, he thought about it and finally said truthfully: "Wang Situ does study this scripture."

I see……

Cao Cao said: "I heard that Situ has a seven-star sword, and I would like to use Cao to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to kill him. Even if he dies, he will not hate him!"

Allowed to take the sword with it.

…

Seeing that he couldn't do anything, Cao knelt down with his sword and said, "Cao has a precious sword and offers you a favor."

Zhuo then looked at it and saw that the sword was more than a foot long, decorated with seven holes, extremely sharp, and a fruit sword...
