Three Kingdoms

On the ninth day of the fifth year, the flying dragon is in the sky, which is good for meeting adults.

This is the result of Zheng Xuan's divination last night.

It is a lucky hexagram.

However, the one who flies over is a dragon, and the one who cannot fly over can only be an insect.

Although Zheng Xuan may not necessarily think that he is a dragon, but he still wants to fly, and he is not willing to be a worm, so he said loudly: "The Master said, Yi Zhi is a book, which has been passed down from ancient times. In the past, there was Fuxi Bagua , began to take shape, and later there were saints who deduced and painted. The hexagrams were ready, and the lines were also clear. Because the three dynasties of Tang and Yu had their own exercises, they were divided into mountains and mountains to store the Zhouyi. However, the mountains were heavy and the collection was dark. Before Zhou Gong's introduction, he discussed it in detail, collected his last words, and wrote it as the ultimate teaching. This is why it is easy to pass it down today."

"The way of heaven is impermanent, but people have their own permanence. Lianshan, starting with the hexagram Gen, is like a continuous mountain, so it is named Lianshan. Guizang, with Kun as the first hexagram, is like a gift of virtue, so it is named Guizang. The meaning is different, It is a different way of using it. It is hidden in the mountains, recounts the oral traditions of the predecessors, and understands the original image of Fu Xi, so as to realize the impermanence and permanence of the way of heaven and humanity."

"The study of the Yi is its application. The Yi of King Wen is exactly what it is. The upper part is based on the original hexagram of Fu Xi, and the lower part adopts the modifications of Lian Gui. Follow the old system and benefit from the new rules, and then the Zhou Yi will be completed."

"Now that the Zhouyi has been completed, Liangui can no longer be used. Therefore, I call it the Zhouyi. Although Liangui was completed by the saints of the past dynasties, it is not the three Yis, but one of them. Although it is not the same work, the meaning of the Yi is the same. The three righteousnesses of heaven, earth, and people have been prepared, and they are enough for use. Even if there are other changes, there are still three. In this way, King Wen's Yi is enough for use..."

After Zheng Xuan's long speech, most of the people present were stunned and seemed to have gained a little bit. Of course, some people still looked confused and confused...

"What Mr. Zheng said is absolutely true!"

"Just like the number fifty in the Great Evolution, nine out of forty are used. How can it be used to its full potential if the way of heaven is like this?"

"Studying the Yi can reveal the Tao. After listening to Zheng Gong's words, it is also close to the Tao. The movement of the six intersections and the changes of the three poles are all based on the Tao of Yi. It can be said to be the divination in the world. It is also the tool of the Tao. The tool cannot be called The weapon of Tao is also..."

"Exactly, exactly..."

Listening to the discussions among the people around him, Pang Tong sat down below, smiling and saying nothing.

Zheng Xuan, who was on the podium, saw Pang Tong's black face, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. His eyes wandered twice, and he was about to step off the stage to end this lecture, but he heard The official who came to the side of the podium coughed, and with a trembling tone, he said loudly: "The Book of Changes left, and Jue Lian returned. Now there are ten wings, how can we defeat the Zhou Yi? What is the authenticity of the Zhou Yi and the ten wings?" ?”

Like a group of ducks whose necks were strangled by many invisible hands, everyone suddenly became silent. They all turned to look at the official, then turned to look at Zheng Xuan.

"This... is called the Ten Wings and should be regarded as attached wings. How can it exclude Zhou Yi?" Zheng Xuan stood up, glanced at Pang Yi, pondered for a moment, and finally said with gritted teeth, "The Zhou Yi is the basis, and the Ten Wings are the basis." Note..." Then with the help of his disciples, he hurriedly got off the stage.

Pang Tong laughed, got up and left.

What remains is the uncontrollable controversy around the main hall square...

Zheng Xuan did not go far. When Pang Tong was about to get into the car, Zheng Xuan's disciple Xi Lu came out from the side, raised his hands and said: "Pang Shijun, are you free? Zheng Gong invites you..."

Pang Tong smiled slightly, turned around and walked through the corridor with Xi Liu. When they arrived at the side hall, he saw Zheng Xuan who was drinking water and resting. He held his hands in greeting and said, "I have met Mr. Zheng..."

Zheng Xuan sighed, put down the water bowl, and said, "Pang Shijun, are you happy today?"

Pang Tong laughed and said unceremoniously: "Sir, you know, if you annotate "Fei Yi", you will abolish Shi Mengliangqiu; if you annotate "Gushang", you will abolish Ouyang Xiaoxiahou; if you annotate "Mao Shi", it will abolish Qi, Lu and Han... It can be said that A great merit is also a great crime!"

Xi Lu was furious and stepped forward to point his halberd at him, "You are so arrogant! What crime is my master guilty of?!"

Zheng Xuan, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment, then frowned to stop Xi Liu, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Pang Shijun, can you elaborate?"

Pang Tong sat down, his face became more serious, and he said in a deep voice: "There are cavemen who live in caves. They don't see the sun and moon, and they don't know the wind and rain. They hold fire at the mouth of the cave to ward off the evil beasts..."

"Ha..." Zheng Xuan laughed dumbly and nodded again, "I almost forgot that Pang Shijun was sent to Pang Degong..."

The world often combines Laozi and Zhuangzi and calls them Laozi and Zhuangzi. Therefore, in the Taoist Huang-Lao philosophy, these two people are naturally the main spiritual sources. The Zhuangzi philosophy also likes to use stories to tell the truth, so As soon as Zheng Xuan heard Pang Tong's beginning, he couldn't help but say this.

Pang Tong didn't take it seriously, shook his head and continued: "The beast is walking outside, and its shadow is in the cave. It is huge, and the people in the cave are afraid when they look at it. There are sages who look at the shadow for a long time, and their words are evil. Don't do it. When he came out, he called the remaining people, built a wall with stones, and thought it was a rule. He sealed himself in the cave, and everyone worshiped him... A hundred years later, someone who rebelled came out over the wall, and walked fearfully outside the cave. Only then did he realize that the shadow beast was there. Chickens and rabbits are like chickens and rabbits. When they are chased away, they feel that they are delicious. After eating, they go back inside and tell the public..."

"However, after the sage in the cave, he was afraid of losing his position. He was punished as a disobedient and was hit with a stone. His body was hung under a high wall, and his body was left alive in a cave where moss-eating dogs..." The smile gradually disappeared from Pang Tong's face. , only solemnity remained, "Do you think, Duke Zheng, that the sage in the cave built the wall was a merit? Is it a sin?"

Zheng Xuan could not answer and remained silent.

After Pang Tong finished speaking, without waiting for Zheng Xuan's reply, he nodded and left.

Just when Pang Tong was about to walk out of the door, Zheng Xuan's voice came over, "I don't know who Pang Shijun is. Are you a virtuous person?"

Pang Tong laughed, waved his hand, and said, "I have been watching the wall for a long time and want to cross it!" After saying this, he walked away with his hands behind his back, feeling secretly happy. The story he heard from General Hussar was indeed very good. use……

Watching Pang Tong leave, Xi Liu couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied and said: "What's wrong with building a stone to ward off ferocious beasts? There are not just chickens and rabbits outside the cave, but also lions and tigers!"

Zheng Xuan glanced at Xi Lu and said: "You are like a liger, how can you be different from other people's chickens and rabbits?"

"This..." Xi Lu was stunned for a moment and was speechless.

Zheng Xuan looked at the wall outside the side hall with a thoughtful expression.

"The Book of Changes is the basis, and the Ten Wings are the notes..."

Zheng Xuan's eyes gradually moved up from the wall, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, and couldn't help but repeat the words he had just said.

Perhaps many people do not understand the meaning of these eight simple words, but for Zheng Xuan, it is like opening a door. While suddenly enlightened, he also feels the coldness of autumn and winter.

Yi, many people think that Yi is Yi, but they don’t know that Yi originally included Lianshan, Guizang, and Zhouyi. Then on the basis of Zhouyi, Confucius added annotations, which is called Yi Zhuan. It is divided into ten chapters in total. It is the so-called "Ten Wings". Later, the Yi Jing and the Yi Zhuan were integrated into one, becoming the "Yi" of the Han Dynasty and even passed down to later generations.

Confucius' original intention may not be as evil as some people in later generations speculated. His original intention was to build a wall to regulate the collapse of rituals and music in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so that people's thoughts would not be completely ruined. No rules, do whatever you want. Confucius chose Zhou Yi to compile and annotate it, not because Zhou Gong's Yi was necessarily so good, so advanced, and able to throw away seventeen or eighty streets of mountains and rivers, but maybe just because it was "Zhou" Yi...

Now, although Zheng Xuan also gave explanations for several questions, he also showed that in addition to the current "Zhouyi", there are also "Lianshan" and "Gui Zang", which is like removing the blockage. The stones on the road are the same, so a thoughtful person will naturally discover that there are two roads besides "Zhouyi". Looking for "Lianshan" and "Gui Zang" is definitely unavoidable. of.

Even if Zheng Xuan said that studying Zhouyi is enough, it is useless to inherit Lianshan Guizang from Zhouyi. If people were obedient in everything, listened to others' advice, acted honestly, pointed east but not west, and chased birds but not chickens, would there still be Yao, Shun, and Yu? Will there still be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? Will there still be Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu?

At the same time, the question of what is the foundation and what is the annotation is equivalent to cutting the "Yi" into pieces. The classics are classics, and the transmission is the transmission. The Book of Changes belongs to Duke Zhou, and the Book of Changes belongs to Confucius...

After Zheng Xuan confirmed this fact, an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart. He seemed to feel that there was nothing wrong with such a statement, but he also felt that he was actually wrong. The palpitations that came from nowhere made Zheng Xuan Feeling very uncomfortable, he hurriedly left the scene and asked Xi Liu to invite Pang Tong, because Zheng Xuan also guessed that most of these problems were caused by Pang Tong, or perhaps from the cavalry general Fei Qian.

As early as Pingyang, General Hussar mentioned that when Zheng Xuan annotated Mao's poems, he extended the whole poem to politics. Zheng Xuan had some premonitions, but he did not expect that it was only now that Zheng Xuan understood a little bit. What exactly does General Feiqian want to do...

Zheng Xuan gathered his robe and stood up shakily, "Bring me your big cloak, it's a little cold..."

Xi Lu quickly put on the cloak on Zheng Xuan's behalf.

Zheng Xuan grabbed the collar and walked slowly outward. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, looking up at the sky, and seemed to be talking to himself and Xi Su: "...the cave dweller...the person who climbs the wall... …What is good?”

……(＞人＜)(⊙?⊙)……

Pang Tong returned to the yamen of the Hussars General in Chang'an, then bowed to Fei Qian and sat down.

Fei Qian signaled to Huang Xu to disperse the guards, strictly prohibiting others from prying, and then asked Pang Tong about the situation in Qinglong Temple.

Pang Tongyi narrated all the stories, and then said: "After a few days, when the discussion becomes popular, the two books "Lianshan" and "Gui Zang" will be sold, which will definitely create an uproar. ...It's a pity that "Lianshan" and "Gui Zang" are now in ruins..."

Fei Qian nodded in agreement, and then asked Pang Tong: "Did Duke Zheng say there is a difference in the scriptures?"

Pang Tong said: "Zheng Gongyou said, 'The Book of Changes is the foundation, and the ten wings are the notes'..."

Fei Qian lightly knocked on the table, laughed, and said: "Very good, very good... In addition to launching "Lianshan" and "Gui Zang", we must also publish several different versions of the books we have on hand now. Throw the Yi Jing and Yi Chuan out, and take this opportunity to finalize it with a hammer...Don't be so sad, you can do everything else, and don't forget Mr. Shui Jing..."

Pang Tong suddenly understood, stood up again, and said, "I will go find Mr. Shui Jing immediately!"

Fei Qian smiled and said: "Go ahead, go early and come back early, and have barbecue in the evening..."

Pang Tong was immediately full of blood and full of vitality. His big sleeves were flying out. Before going out, he specially emphasized, "Be sure to leave a piece of fat for me..."

Fei Qian laughed a few times and shook his head. After such a long time, Pang Tong still felt that fat meat was delicious. BBQ, how can fatty meat be delicious? Shouldn't it be delicious if it's fat and thin like pork belly?

However, this is exactly the problem.

Everyone has their own preferences, and unifying these preferences is not that simple.

Pang Tong, Zheng Xuan, and others, when they knew that Fei Qian wanted to separate the "Jing" and "Zhuan", most of them just thought of seeking truth and correctness, but basically they didn't know that Fei Qian wanted to separate the "Jing" and "Zhuan". This hidden move has another, more profound meaning...

It's not because Fei Qian is smarter than these people, but because at this stage, no one other than Fei Qian has this concept. This concept was not acceptable to most people in the Han Dynasty, or even in later generations...

Copyright.

In later modern literary theoretical systems, copyright, also known as copyright, is divided into moral rights and property rights.

The word copyright, or this concept, is actually a foreign product, not a product of traditional Chinese culture. Perhaps it seems far-fetched to use concepts imported from the West to measure ancient Chinese culture and systems, but it also illustrates a problem. China has thousands of years of culture, but there is no soil for copyright.

Although during the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court issued a proclamation on some books, informing the world that they could not "plagiarize and catalog" or "change the title", a relatively complete copyright protection law was not formed.

Because the source of piracy arose during the time of Confucius, so that in later generations, there are still many people who take piracy as an honor and shamelessly express what happened to piracy.

Duke Zhou wrote the Book of Changes, and Confucius wrote the Book of Changes, but it cannot be said that because Confucius wrote the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes was written by Confucius. They are trying to downplay or even obliterate the existence of Duke Zhou, just like after Duke Zhou wrote the Book of Changes, he wiped out even Shan Guizang, or like later generations respecting Confucius, obliterated the existence of other hundreds of schools of thought.

If I kill the most handsome guy, then I will be the most handsome guy in the world...

From the day it was born, this kind of thinking has been harmful but not beneficial. It has even led to changes in later generations. It is either this or that, black or white. No matter whether the actions of political opponents are good or bad, they just want to be beaten to death with a stick. , as long as the opponent is killed, the one who survives will be fine, so Wang Anshi's reform was short-lived. Zheng He's millions of documents on his voyages to the West were openly destroyed and hidden by Liu Daxia...

Facts are facts, and facts cannot be ignored just because of personal preferences.
