Rise From the Humble

Yang Guoliang's throat was fishy and sweet, and Ma Huating was not much better. Zhu Ping'an had just cited extensive and conclusive remarks, refuting the two views he believed to be extraordinary one by one, leaving him embarrassed and blushing.

"How can you know the joy of fish if you are not a fish? "Guan Ju" was not written by Master Zhu. How could Master Zhu know that gentleman and lady do not refer to King Wen and Queen of Zhou? Looking at the whole chapter, there is no need to mention "gentleman" and "lady" about King Wen of Zhou, Queen of Zhou."

Ma Huating glared at Zhu Pingan angrily, snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and said in a pretentious tone.

No need? !

Maybe, maybe.

Looking at the whole article, gentlemen and ladies should not mention King Wen of Zhou and Queen Zhou.

It means that looking at the entire "Guan Ju", the gentleman and lady may refer to King Wen and Queen of Zhou.

This is Qin Hui who studied Feng Boting.

Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, then turned his eyes to Yang Guoliang, the person involved, and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Yang?"

"Master Ma's words make sense. Who is a gentleman or a lady? You have to read the whole story to see it. The joy of "Guan Ju" is that a lady is paired with a gentleman, but the worry of "Guan Ju" is that he is a good person without being lewd; sad. The original meaning of Guan Ju is to be graceful and longing for the talented without harming the good. To mourn the graceful and longing for the talented, don’t we need King Wen and Queen of Zhou?" Yang Guoliang took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Ping'an. Said slowly.

His voice was not as loud as when he discussed "the style of a king and the virtues of a concubine" before, and it was obvious that he lacked confidence.

It can also be seen from his word choice, such as the word "Mo Xu" which is in the same vein as Ma Huating, probably, maybe.

It's obvious that I don't have enough confidence.

It is estimated that he also realized the shortcomings of what he said in his heart, but he was just holding on to the end because of his face.

"Oh, do you want to read the whole story?" Zhu Ping'an said in a low tone, and then pretended to humbly ask for advice, "According to Dr. Yang's theory, there is still something unclear about Ping'an, so I would like Dr. Yang to enlighten me."

"you say."

Yang Guoliang said two words coldly.

"'Strange water-livers are flowing left and right. Fair ladies are always coveting them.' Dr. Yang just said that water-lilies are a sacrificial dish. Only virtuous fair ladies, that is, the queens of Zhou, can pick water-lilies. If you are not a fair lady, If you are a lady, then if you pick water plants to offer sacrifices to your ancestors, the ancestors will not use them. King Wen of Zhou longed for a fair lady, but he wanted to find a virtuous lady who could pick water plants to help him offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. , govern the country and pacify the world. From this point of view, a gentleman's desire for a lady is his desire for talents, but is this true?" Zhu Ping'an looked straight at Yang Guoliang and asked.

"Of course."

Yang Guoliang cherished words like gold and did not give Zhu Ping'an another chance to find a reason.

"Haha, Mr. Zhu understood quickly. That's good, that's good." Ma Huating looked at Zhu Pingan with a half-smile.

Zhu Pingan ignored Ma Huating, but looked at Yang Guoliang and asked again, "Mr. Yang, what do you mean by the word 'left and right'?"

Before Yang Guoliang could speak, Ma Huating sneered, mocking Zhu Ping'an, "Master Zhu is still the top scholar in Enke, and he doesn't even understand the simple truth of 'left and right'? You have to ask Dr. Yang, haha, no wonder Zhu Your Excellency cannot understand that gentleman and lady refer to King Wen and Queen of Zhou."

"Knowledge, knowledge, if you don't understand, just ask." Zhu Pingan glanced at Ma Huating and said lightly.

Be knowledgeable and ask questions if you don’t understand.

Zhu Ping'an's simple words shocked King Yu in the audience. Such a simple sentence made him recall a lot.

When he was a child, he studied with the deceased Crown Prince and Prince Jing. He was confused about many things that the Master taught in class. But seeing how the Crown Prince and his fourth brother, Prince Jing, could understand them as soon as they heard them, out of face, he He didn't know how to pretend to understand, which made him do more and more homework. This also made Emperor Jiajing, who occasionally got interested in studying their brothers' homework, very disappointed with him and disliked him less and less.

If I had heard these words when I was a child, if I had been able to say as frankly as Zhu Ping'an did when I was a child, "If you want to learn, if you don't understand, just ask." Maybe I wouldn't be in such an unfavorable situation today.

That's what it's like to speak in a subtle way.

King Yu raised his head and looked at Zhu Pingan. In his sight, Zhu Pingan's tall figure seemed to be a little taller.

"Please ask Mr. Yang to clear up my doubts." After returning to Ma Huating, Zhu Pingan turned to Yang Guoliang again.

"Master Zhu, didn't you listen just now? What I said just now. Those on the left and right are helpful. The water plants flow from left to right. It means that Queen Zhou took other women to pick water plants, and other women helped Queen Zhou pick water plants. Send the dishes to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors." Yang Guoliang looked at Zhu Ping'an with an unkind expression and said.

"It's precisely because I was confused after hearing it that I asked this question." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.

After listening, you still ask? ! Yang Guoliang gave Zhu Ping'an a killing look.

"Just now, Dr. Yang said that watercress is a sacrificial vegetable. Only virtuous ladies, that is, the Queen of Zhou, can pick watercress. Otherwise, even if they are picked, the ancestors will not use it. King Wen of Zhou tossed and turned and coveted it. Because it is hard to find a virtuous lady who can pick water plants for sacrifice. However, why is it mentioned here that Queen Zhou brought other women, and other women helped the Queen of Zhou to pick water plants? The water plants picked by other women were not used by our ancestors. ? If other women are also ladies, are there too many ladies? Then they can also be the queens of Zhou? With so many ladies, it will not be difficult for King Wen of Zhou to find them. Why is he tossing and turning and sleeping so hard? What do you want?"

"Ping An is confused, please ask Dr. Yang to clarify."

Using the word left and right as an introduction, Zhu Ping'an asked several questions in succession and pointed out the contradictions in Yang Guoliang.

Well.

After listening to Zhu Pingan's series of questions, Yang Guoliang once again had a headache and was sweating profusely. He raised his bloodshot eyes and glanced at Zhu Pingan like a plague.

"Left and right also means the direction of left and right. The flow of left and right can also be understood as the queen of Zhou picked a handful of water plants on the left and a handful of water plants on the right. The meaning of 'left and right' is just a word and has nothing to do with the overall situation. It does not affect the interpretation of Guan Ju."

Fortunately, this question is not very difficult. When Dr. Yang had a big head and was sweating profusely, his solid knowledge of the Book of Songs helped him solve the problem. Although he was a little embarrassed to personally overturn his previous explanation, it was just like what he said. It's just a word and has nothing to do with the overall situation. It does not affect the understanding of Guan Ju, nor does it affect the interpretation of his "king's style and concubine's virtues".

The strong man breaks his wrist!

Yang Guoliang still has this determination.

"Wouldn't it affect the interpretation?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and shook his head, "If it means the direction is left or right?"

Zhu Pingan paused at this point.

"How?" Yang Guoliang asked impatiently.

"If you mean the left and right directions, well, watercress grows in water, and if you go to the water to pick it, your clothes will be short and thin. Queen Zhou picked a handful from the left and a handful from the right. Isn't that what she had to do?"

Zhu Ping'an started to demonstrate as he spoke. He rolled up his sleeves, exposed part of his arm, and made a movement of picking left, right, and twisting his waist.

A dignified man, twisted like a little hooves.

It hurts the eyes.

"hehe."

King Yu in the audience couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

The waiter who was serving in the lecture hall also felt very uncomfortable and could not help but shrug his shoulders.

"Well, Mr. Yang, if Queen Zhou is picking water plants like this, wouldn't it be too ungrateful to show her graceful and graceful figure? If Queen Zhou, who is the mother of the world, is picking water plants, for the sake of solemnity, she should pick them in one direction. Is it appropriate?" After Zhu Pingan demonstrated, he looked at Yang Guoliang with a half-smile and asked.

"You sweep the floor politely"

Yang Guoliang flicked his sleeves, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
