Chapter 432: Fang's Physics Debate Method (Revised)

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

In fact, Wen Suchen couldn't be Wang Shouren's opponent from the beginning.

A person who spends all day talking in his study can beat a hundred opponents who talk casually in his study, but he will never be able to defeat a person who goes to the mountains and goes to the sea. As Wang Shouren himself said, he has really surpassed things.

"Looking at things to gain knowledge, I deeply believe in this sentence." Wang Shouren is not a rebel, but a successor: "By observing things, to investigate the principles of all things, students also agree."

"But since we want to examine things, the objects that Master Zhu examines are different from you and me. What Mrs. Zhu has seen and heard is also different from you and me. Therefore, Master Zhu can naturally understand what he has seen and heard through his thinking. I learned his principles of nature and his way of being a sage. All these are Master Zhu’s understanding of all things. Master Zhu’s understanding of the principles of nature is extremely profound, and the students admire him.”

"Then, I dare to ask, Mr. Wen also has eyes, ears, and what he sees and hears. Master Zhu advocates studying things to know. So, in life, what can Mr. Wen learn, and what natural principles have he understood?"

Wen Suchen managed to pull himself together: "I have read "Four Books Chapters and Sentences Collection", "Tai Chi Diagram Explanation", "Tongshu Explanation"..."

Wang Shouren shook his head: "These are all books written by Mr. Zhu Zi. Mr. Zhu Zi learned the truth through observation of things, which is what we call investigating things. Mr. Wen, what the students want to ask is, Mr. How do you comprehend the way of the sage and the principles of all things?"

"..." After comprehending it by himself, Wen Suchen said awe-inspiringly: "We are scholars, and we are speaking on behalf of saints."

The so-called speaking on behalf of sages is a way of saying in Neo Confucianism, that is, the important task of scholars is to speak for sages. Because of this, scholars always talk about "Zi Yue", "Mencius Said" and "Zhu Fuzi Said". There is nothing wrong with it. If the words of the sage are to be passed on, scholars must speak for the sage.

Wang Shouren shook his head: "It's still wrong."

Wen Suchen said: "Then, I still need to ask for advice."

Wang Shouren said: "The master said, three people must have my teacher. It can be seen that knowledge is everywhere in this world, and knowledge does not have to be limited to the Four Books and Five Classics; Master Zhu also advocated that scholars should study things to learn, that is, to understand the principles of all things by themselves. Since you are a great Confucian in the world, if you don’t have your own opinions, but because of your profound study of Neo-Confucianism, you should speak for the sage and Master Zhu. This is wrong. Sage Confucius and Master Zhu saw different things, so naturally they have different perceptions Ah. And Mr. Wen himself has no eyes, no ears, is blind and deaf, and has never seen the world, so he needs saints to tell you what the world should look like?"

"Scholars shouldn't be like this! Scholars learn the way of sages to keep in mind the original heart of sages. What is the way of sages? The way of sages is to teach you and me to respect our parents and love our brothers. It tells us to observe things more It tells us to respect etiquette. It tells us to be virtuous in governing, to study diligently, to teach us the etiquette that rulers and envoys should have, and that ministers and rulers should be loyal. All these are the ways of saints.”

"But how to observe things, how to study the principles of nature, but you need to have your own eyes and ears. On behalf of the sages, Confucius came from the Spring and Autumn Period. He was exiled in various countries and promoted the law of benevolent government. These are in today's world. Is there a morality in the world? In the Spring and Autumn Period, although the wellfield system had collapsed, there were still remnants of the wellfield. Therefore, Confucius believed that the collapse of the wellfield was the cause of the turmoil in the world. Then, the current worldliness, the wellfield system, has been around for a long time .”

"Also, when Master Zhu was there, Jingkang was ashamed, and the Southern Song Dynasty was partial to peace. Master Zhu asked to resist the gold, but it was not accepted. Are these now available? Master Zhu wrote "Four Books, Chapters and Sentences", and there are countless books. All the people in the world admire his writings, but these books are his life, his experience, what he has seen and heard, and his perception of the world. Students admire Master Zhu, so they think that they are the disciples of saints , is also a student of Master Zhu, and it is precisely because of his admiration that he learns from him, observes things with his own eyes and ears, and learns how to think from him, and slowly perfects his knowledge."

"Mr. Wen said that scholars should stand up for saints, but Mr. Wen seems to have missed the last sentence. The last sentence is: for the sake of the saints. Master Zhu opened his own thinking and prospered Confucianism. , This is to continue learning for the sake of the saints. But today, why don’t you and I dare to learn from Master Zhu, and on this basis, start to think about the way of the saint. The world has changed, and people should also change. The way of the saint It will not change, but how to interpret the way of the sage, and how to open up new thinking on the basis of the way of the sage in this changed world, like Master Zhu, is not what you and I should do ?”

"Mr. Wen is a great Confucian who is admired by the people of the world. Because of this, it is even more necessary to set an example for the people of the world. If you just pick up the words of Confucius, Mencius and Master Zhu and recite them over and over again, then why does the world need Mr. Wen?" ?”

Wen Suchen said coldly, "If so, wouldn't this be an apostate!"

Wang Shouren smiled: "Mr. Wen may have forgotten that Neo-Confucianism was also denounced as a "fake study" back then, and it was also accused of being deviant."

Wen Suchen said: "Master Zhu is Master Zhu, how dare you compare yourself to Master Zhu?"

Wang Shouren shook his head: "Don't dare, the students are also Master Zhu's disciples. If you don't learn from Master Zhu, how can you open up new thinking for students."

Everyone listened to the exchange of words between the two, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wang Shouren's thinking was much more active than the old-fashioned Wen Suchen.

Many people think that what Wang Shouren said is new

Learning, do whatever you want, it should be possible to inherit the learning of mind in the Song Dynasty, and it will definitely criticize Master Zhu vigorously.

But no one ever thought that Wang Shouren still adopted many of Zhu Xi's ideas, and still vigorously advocated that Master Zhu should have a very high status in the study of sages. The most shameless thing is that Wang Shouren said that I am Master Zhu's student. What I have learned is Master Zhu. That's right, I am very authentic...

This...is a little embarrassing.

Therefore, although some people disagree with Wang Shouren's words, at least... they are not too offensive.

On the contrary, Wen Suchen hoped that Wang Shouren would stand on the opposite side of Neo-Confucianism to criticize vigorously from the very beginning. He never thought about this new knowledge, but he clings to the thigh of Neo-Confucianism and refuses to let go. , which made him have nowhere to use his strength.

Even... Everyone has a faint feeling.

Wang Shouren was actually fighting for Master Zhu's right to speak, thinking that he did what Master Zhu did back then.

Compared to Wen Suchen, who only knows how to parrot, he is not so smart.

Emperor Hongzhi had a smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Fang Jifan, with a smile that was not a smile.

The North Korean king Li Yi couldn't help shouting, "Zhong!"

Someone in the crowd looked at the calm Wang Shouren, but fell silent.

He always thought that Wang Shouren should be a weird person, he looked confused when he was young, but today, the self-confidence shown by Wang Shouren really made people mistake him for a fake Wang Shouren.

"Nonsense!" Wen Suchen was a little confused: "Master Zhu's original intention..."

As soon as he spoke, someone shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Wen Suchen's face was pale, but Fang Jifan stood up: "Master Zhu is a saint, why do you have such a disrespectful face when you talk about Master Zhu?"

"..."

Wen Suchen is arguing with others, of course his face is not good-looking, what is being disrespectful?

Fang Jifan said sternly: "It's simply unreasonable. Master Zhu is also the patriarch of Xishan Academy. Everyone in Xishan Academy admires and worships him like a god. We who have been taught by Master Zhu are all disciples of saints and Master Zhu. You mentioned What is the meaning of our patriarch being so disrespectful?"

I'm afraid that bums are cultured.

Wen Suchen still didn't understand, this man...does he want to be ashamed, won't you blush when you say these words?

Fang Jifan was a little bored hearing the two chattering a lot, he still liked his own way, Fang Jifan said again: "Master Patriarch, it's for respect, like Mr. Wen, you keep saying that you read Zhu Zi, then, dare I ask, do you really admire Master Zhu?"

Wen Suchen felt that Fang Jifan was messing around, so he responded sharply: "I have studied Zhu Zi for thirty-two years..."

Fang Jifan took it out of his sleeve, and a roll of portraits fell into his hand. The portrait shook and opened: "You don't know how to respect teachers at all, who do you think this is?"

Zhu...Zhu...Master...

It is a portrait of Master Zhu.

Although the painting is a bit ugly, it is only because Tang Yin has gone to Ningbo Mansion, otherwise Fang Jifan guaranteed that the person in the portrait would be somewhat handsome.

But everyone can see that this portrait is copied from the statue of Zhu Zi in the Confucius Temple.

"Do you always carry a portrait?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Master Zhu is the ancestor of our Xishan Academy. The younger generations, we should not only keep Master Zhu in our hearts, but also keep him in our eyes all the time. If you don't look at it a few times, you will not be able to eat, and you will not be satisfied. Then let me ask you, you keep saying that we are deviant, where are the students of Xishan Academy?"

Shen Ao and others in the crowd agreed: "Yes."

Fang Jifan said: "Quickly salute the patriarch."

Shen Ao and the others did not dare to hesitate, and bowed down to the portrait one after another: "I have seen the Patriarch..."

Fang Jifan held up the painting with a sacred and inexplicable expression on his face.

"..."

All of a sudden, the tea shop became noisy.

Many people are not sitting, not standing, this... isn't this nonsense?

But nonsense is nonsense, people admire Master Zhu, it’s none of your business, is it wrong to wear a portrait of Zhu Zi at all times, and regard Zhu Zi as an idol, and when other students see Zhu Zi, an old man, they pay homage? What's wrong?
