The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2222 The question of the Rat King

Such a simple and clumsy method has flourished for a long time in the ancient country of China and the great northern empire. Even though the great northern empire has been dilapidated, there are still a large number of people who firmly believe that those words and stories are true.

The main reason why people believe in things that are obviously impossible is not only because their knowledge reserves cannot form effective judgments, but also because the society they live in has too many problems and is far from meeting the basic standards of fairness and justice. Resulting in resentment. These people are the easiest to take advantage of.

Fang Yun believes that once the demon world with low basic education encounters an unprecedented ideological attack, the impact will be immeasurable.

Fang Yun has decided that after returning to Shengyuan Continent, he will have a detailed discussion with Xisheng, secretly cultivate forces in the demon world, use the advanced methods of later generations to crush the demon world ideologically, instigate the barbarians and demons to confront each other, and instigate the lower class and the demons. Class conflicts at the middle and upper levels.

At the same time, Fang Yunhui spoke to the saints and prohibited the spread of certain similar ideas within the human race.

Looking at King Langyuan and King Shutai, who were dedicated to spreading Confucianism, Fang Yun became wary. In order to prevent Jingguo or the human race from suffering similar attacks in the future, which would lead to the division of the ethnic group, he must solve this big hidden danger after returning to Jingguo.

When the great northern empire was divided, it implemented a foolish ethnic policy, so much so that the later head of state, who was born in the KGB, criticized the founder of that policy more than once.

Fang Yun decided on one of the things he would plan after returning to Jingguo.

"We are of the same race!"

A complicated look appeared on Fang Yun's face. Before he became a great scholar, his plan was to avoid the court and take the simplest and easiest path to sainthood.

However, after being promoted to a Great Confucian, especially after gaining the power of decay and getting closer to the Holy Way, Fang Yun had a new understanding of everything, especially the Holy Way, Jingguo, Confucianism, and the human race.

You can only choose the most difficult path!

Any clever path to the holy path can achieve one's own success, but will inevitably lose the opportunity to save the human race.

Between himself and the human race, Fang Yun chose the latter.

This is the only choice for Confucian disciples.

"Keep walking!"

"New Annotations on the Great Learning", "New Annotations on the Doctrine of the Mean" and "New Annotations on Mencius" are actually not finished, because Fang Yun has not even completed the final punctuation marks, nor has it been officially compiled into a book. This is to facilitate modification and to avoid causing unnecessary anomalies.

On the way, Fang Yun no longer taught the content of the Four Books of Two Demon Kings, but began to teach the Five Classics of Two Demon Kings, namely "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn".

Because it is not a new bet, it is basically taking the strengths of each family, which is equivalent to a collective bet, so Fang Yun just picked it up and taught it all the way. Fang Yun only stopped when the mosquito trap found a target that could be robbed.

While listening to the sage's book, he was always ready to rob; while he was a demon and a barbarian, and at the same time he had to be a Confucian disciple to deal with the demons and barbarians. The two demon kings felt as if their heads were split, and it took a few days to get used to it.

After Fang Yun finished talking about the Five Classics, he began to talk about the history of the human race.

After talking about the history of the human race, King Shutai asked doubtfully: "There is something unclear about the student."

"Speak." Fang Yun said.

"The semi-saint Ban Gu once proposed that 'one hundred schools of thought came from royal officials', that is, the source of one hundred schools of thought was actually the official position or official organization of the Zhou Dynasty. The theory of royal officials believed that Confucianism came from the officials of Situ, while later generations believed that Confucianism came from musicians, and historians From the historian. In the Zhou Dynasty, musician itself was an official position, but it also generally referred to musicians. The official positions include Da Si Yue, Da Xu, Xiao Xu, Dian Tong, Zhong Shi, etc. "Zhou Li" clearly points out that the three main responsibilities of musicians are dance and music, sacrifice and academic administration. The combination of ritual and music is called ritual music. So, do you have any objection that Confucianism comes from the lineage of music masters?”

"Confucianism is related to the lineage of musicians, but it is not entirely derived from musicians. You continue." Fang Yun said.

"In addition to the official positions of musicians, the Zhou Dynasty also had historians. Of course, this historian is different from the historian official. The historian's duty is to record and manage documents, such as censor, internal historian, chief historian, governor, etc., while Taishi Ling is the one who records The official position of history, and other historians are related to documents or classics, is the student right? "

"There is no mistake." Fang Yun said.

King Shutai said: "Students once saw documents written by some scholars of a different species in the demon world, and concluded that the six arts taught by Confucius, namely 'ritual, music, archery, imperialism, mathematics, and calligraphy', are false, which are also commonly known as the Little Six Arts. Because Confucianism comes from The lineage of musicians can only teach "rituals" and "music". Let's not talk about Sheyu for now, but "Hanshu" records that the "book" of the Zhou Dynasty is writing. Calligraphy texts, such as calligraphy "Bo Xue" and other related books were written by historians and used for examinations; the place where "numerology" was taught was the primary school, which was the responsibility of the Taishi, and the place where the musicians were responsible was the "university", which was completely different from the primary school. Scholars who believe that Confucius only taught rituals and music, saying that Confucius taught the Six Arts is just a boast of Confucian disciples."

"Continue." Fang Yun knew that King Shu Tai had something else to say.

“In addition, Ni Zhong also believes that Confucius’ teaching of the ‘Great Six Arts’ is also false. The Great Six Arts include the six books of The Book of Rites, The Book of Music, The Book of Poetry, The Book of History, The Book of Changes, and The Spring and Autumn Annals. Historical records clearly state that the musicians were responsible for sacrifices, but divination was managed by historians. The so-called The Book of Changes was obviously written and passed down by historians. As for The Spring and Autumn Annals, The Book of History, and The Book of Rites, musicians participated in them. For example, the musicians performed rituals while the historians were responsible for recording, the musicians recited The Book of History and The Spring and Autumn Annals while the historians passed on the books and recorded the events. This is because the ancient Shengyuan Continent recited history orally, with the historians simply writing the outline of history, while the musicians were responsible for reciting the specific content. The original text of The Spring and Autumn Annals is concise, while The Zuo’s Spring and Autumn Annals has become Very detailed, so the Spring and Autumn Annals was originally written by historians, and Confucius did not participate. Later, Zuo Qiuming annotated the Spring and Autumn Annals to form the Zuo Zhuan. There is no such thing as Confucius revising the Spring and Autumn Annals, so how can musicians replace historians? "

"Then, we can see that historians and musicians have a clear division of labor, so the "Book of Rites", "Book of Music" and "Book of Songs" may belong to the Confucian inheritance, but the "Book of Changes", "Book of History" and "Spring and Autumn Annals" should be inherited by historians. Similarly, in the six minor arts, Confucius and Confucianism should only teach "etiquette" and "dance and music", and never teach arithmetic and writing. "

King Langyuan knew that King Shutai read more books than himself, but he didn't expect that he read so much more than himself, and he was stunned.

Afterwards, King Langyuan secretly looked at Fang Yun, wanting to know how Fang Yun would answer. If Fang Yun also agreed with these statements, he might become a rebellious species.

Fang Yun smiled calmly and said, "This statement has some truth. Except for the fallacy that musicians do not participate in the management of primary schools, each of the other examples has solid evidence, but the process of argumentation is not comprehensive, so the final argument is wrong."

"Please advise, sir." Shu Tai Wang said.
