Rise From the Humble

"Zhu Zihou, you said that "Guan Ju" is a folk song about love between a man and a woman, or even a blind date. What is the basis for this?"

When Yang Guoliang was in trouble, Ma Huating stood up again, with a dark face and a stern look, loudly questioning Zhu Ping'an. This time he adopted the method of surrounding Wei to save Zhao, attacking Zhu to save Yang.

"I think to interpret "Guanyong" and "The Book of Songs", we must first look at the background of the formation of the "Book of Songs". In the Zhou Dynasty, the country was governed by music, and there were officials dedicated to collecting poems. Every spring, the officials collecting poems would shake their heads. With Mu Duo, he went deep into the folk, collected folk songs, collected and compiled the songs that reflected the people's joys, sorrows, sorrows, and people's livelihood, and handed them over to the music official - the Taishi. After the Taishi composed the music, he sang it to Zhou The emperor listened, and the emperor of Zhou learned about people's livelihood through these folk songs and used them as a reference for governance. Some of them praised ancestors, some worshiped ghosts and gods, some had banquets and social interactions with nobles, and some reflected folk labor, love, marriage, and social customs. "Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and said slowly.

"What you said is a commonplace and has nothing to do with your theory. How can it be used as evidence? Is there any scripture or scripture to prove your theory? What is the research?"

Ma Huating sneered, like a fighting cock, staring at Zhu Ping'an dimly, and started to pick the bones from the egg.

Didn't you just ask Dr. Yang for his certificate? Do you have it? ! Can you tell? !

snort!

This is called treating others with their own medicine!

Ma Huating stared at Zhu Ping'an faintly, and as he said this sentence, he seemed to feel a bad breath in his heart.

You are bound to be disappointed.

Zhu Ping'an looked at Ma Huating, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and as soon as Ma Huating finished speaking, he slowly said:

"The preface to Zhu Xi's "Collected Poems" says: "The so-called wind in poetry mostly comes from songs written in lanes, and the so-called men and women chanting songs together and each expressing their feelings." "Guan Ju" comes from "South Wind" ”, "Guanyong" talks about folk love ballads, which is consistent with Zhu Xi's preface, and this is one of them."

""Zhou Li·Di Guan·Media Shi" says: "Media Shi controls the judgment of all people. Every man and woman who has become famous will write down the name of the year, month and day. He is ordered to marry a man at thirty and a woman at twenty. Anyone who marries Those who sentence a wife to marry a child must all write it down. In the middle of the spring month, men and women are ordered to meet, so it is the right time. Those who run away are not allowed to run away. If they do not use the order without reason, they will be punished. Men and women who do not have husbands will be reunited. 'Zhou Dynasty At that time, the matchmaker was in charge of the cooperation of the people. Anyone who married a wife and had children must be recorded. Why did the population reproduce? In February and March, the matchmaker issued an order for unmarried men and women to meet. At this time, I couldn't help but run. If If you disobey the government order without any reason, you will be punished. This is the ancient custom of men and women meeting in the mid-spring month. During various sacrificial ceremonies held in early February before spring plowing, men and women can also freely engage in love activities. "The Rites of Zhou" stipulates sacrificial rituals Unmarried women need to pick water plants, so in February and March, unmarried women go to the river to pick water plants. At this time, the government decrees gather men and women, and unmarried gentlemen who are "good ladies" also take the opportunity to come to the river. , so there was "Guanyong". This is the second one."

"Reading through the Book of Songs, you can find that the background of many love poems all take place in spring, which is related to the decree of "Zhou Li·Di Guan·Mian Shi", and most of them use flowers, grass, water flow, and birdsong to 'bixing' .”

"For example, "There are creepers in the wilds" by Zheng Feng: "There are creepers in the wilds, and there is no dew. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. When we meet by chance, it suits my wish." This song "There are creepers in the wilds" is about the suburbs. The wild grasses were connected into a patch, and the dew on the grass blades was shining. A beautiful woman passed by, with delicate features and beautiful eyes, which was very stunning. Meeting her unexpectedly was just what I wanted."

"Another example is "Zheng Feng·Qin Wei": "Qin and Mei are on the opposite side. The scholar and the girl are on the other side. The girl said, "Guan Hu?" , and they were happy. The warriors and the women were joking with each other and gave them peony. 'This poem tells the story of March, when the Qinshui and Jianshui of Zheng State flowed far away. Unmarried young men and women came to the suburbs. They were playing, holding orchid grass in their hands. Men and women held iris grass in their hands and went to play by the river outside the city. The woman said, let’s go there and have a look. The man said, I have already been there. The woman also said that there is a good place on the other side of the Jishui River, and it is beautiful. It was lively, so why not go there again! So, the men and women went to the other side of the Jishui River together, joking with each other, and gave peonies as parting gifts, promising not to forget each other."

"Another example is "Zheng Feng: There is a dead croaker in the wild". There is a dead crocodile in the wild, and it is wrapped with white grass. There is a girl who is pregnant with spring, and good luck lures her."

"Another example is "Zhou Nan·Taoyao"."

"Another example is "Wang Feng·Junzi Yangyang", "Wei Feng·Papaya", "Chen Feng·Dongmen Zhitong"."

Zhu Ping'an listed dozens of poems in one go to support the Zhou Dynasty's custom of "in the third month of spring, men and women gather together", and verified that "Guanyong" is a folk song about the love of men and women, and may describe this custom.

Ma Huating was stunned. He originally thought that Zhu Pingan would be hesitant under his questioning.

But I never expected it.

Not only did Zhu Ping'an not hesitate when asked, but he was eloquent, and he was eloquently citing scriptures as soon as he finished speaking.

This was so beyond Ma Huating's expectation that he stood there dumbfounded.

Under Zhu Ping'an's eloquent words, the muscles on Yang Guoliang's face became more and more relaxed and droopy, and his face became more and more ugly.

After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, the lecture hall was silent.

a long time.

"If "Guan Ju" is a folk song about the love between a man and a woman, why did Confucius list it as the first chapter in the Book of Songs if it is so popular?" Yang Guoliang raised his head, looked at Zhu Pingan with bloodshot eyes, and said hoarsely. asked.

"Elegance means elegance." Zhu Ping'an replied.

"Not even the first article." Yang Guoliang continued to stare at Zhu Ping'an.

""Guan Ju" is listed as the first chapter, which is the embodiment of Confucius's 'people-oriented'. The Analects of Confucius records that there was a fire in the stable, and Confucius asked if anyone was hurt? Don't ask about the horses. This is the embodiment of Confucius' 'people-oriented'. Guan Yong" Guan Jujiu, in the river island, there is a graceful lady, and a gentleman is fond of courting. A gentleman pursues a lady, and after he succeeds, he plays the sheng with etiquette, drums, harps, and sheng, practices the virtues of a couple, forms a marriage, forms a family, and reproduces offspring. This is the foundation of the national economy and the people's livelihood. . If the family is stable, the society will be stable, and the world will be peaceful." Zhu Pingan said slowly.

people oriented? !

This word that Zhu Ping'an brought from modern times suddenly stunned everyone.

The more people study this word, the more they feel that it is not simple. This word can not only cover the truth that the people are more valuable than the king, and the water can carry the boat but also capsize it, and it can even be broader.

Of course it’s not simple, this is a national policy! A national policy that is hundreds of years ahead of you! It's strange that I can't control you.

Zhu Ping'an twitched his lips slightly, "Actually, it's not just the Book of Songs. When Confucius deleted the Six Classics, the beginning of each book emphasized people-centeredness. The opening chapter of "The Book" talks about 'Shun married without telling', In order to test Shun's talent, Yao married his two daughters to him. Only those who can manage their families can rule the country and bring peace to the world, which is people-oriented. The first chapter of "Yi" talks about the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, Yin and Yang combine with virtue, life is endless, and people-oriented; In "Li", the ceremony for crowning a scholar comes first, and the ceremony for a scholar's dusk comes second. Starting a family after adulthood is people-oriented. The opening chapter of "Spring and Autumn" talks about "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan", which talks about the way of parents and children, and it is also based on people-oriented. , "Guanyong", which is happy but not obscene, sad but not sad, is the most suitable opening chapter of "The Book of Songs"."

The connotation of "people-oriented" is so broad that Zhu Ping'an referred to the opening chapter of the Six Classics as "people-oriented" without hesitation, and everyone took it for granted.

"Thousands of "Guan Ju" are in the eyes of a thousand people. This is just my "Guan Ju". The fallacies make everyone laugh."

Zhu Ping'an said, bowed his hands to everyone, and Shi Shiran walked off the podium.

Only the footsteps of Zhu Pingan echoed in the lecture hall.
