Chapter 93

Starting from the first day of May, after two days of lectures and one day of endorsement, it was the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye. When Cui Xie woke up in the morning, he still quietly took out the colorful thread, tied it high on his left arm, and rolled his sleeves down to cover it so that no one could see it. When it rains, throw it into the water, according to the custom, the pain will also go away with the water.

He's not that kind of superstitious person, and he didn't pay much attention to these customs when he was a real child in his previous life, but this color thread was given by others, and what he wore was his heart.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there was still no holiday as usual. When he was about to leave, he asked people to take the zongzi as a gift according to Senator Cui's rules when he was there, and add some exquisite Aihu to give a generous portion to the Xie family.

He carried a basket of rice dumplings by himself, with a sachet of Peipei Evil tied around his waist, and carried a schoolbag to the Guozijian. The prison is also called Zhaifu to hang Pulong and Aihu everywhere. The body is short and fat, and the two small ears are supported. It is the shape of the mud tiger and cloth tiger in folk art. It is dyed all over the school and is fragrant. Fewer flies came to fly around the school.

Cui Xie put the zongzi basket in the zhai first, and then followed the zhai leader to the lecture hall to listen to the students repeat the lecture.

In the second session of the junior high school, Qiu Jun personally gave a lecture. The lecture "The Analects of Confucius: Advanced Eleventh", the first chapter "The Master said: Advanced in ritual and music, savages" coincides with the first part of their quiz last month. The title of the four books is "advanced in ritual and music". The look and feel is a bit like the primary and secondary schools of later generations. After the exam, the teacher will repeat the texts and knowledge points on the exam paper to consolidate the impression on the students.

When it comes to the second chapter, "The Master said: I have not reached the door since Chen and Cai." After procrastinating for so many days, it took dozens of people's turn to repeat the lecture, and finally it was his turn... Still not very lucky.

Cui Xie walked to the stage, looked at the black square scarves of more than 600 people in the hall, and the serious and serious faces of the teachers on the stage. He felt that he was having too much fun at Xiejiazhuangzi on the first day of the new year. Having lost all his luck, he was drawn to the stage to give a report.

Fortunately, he remembered all the notes. He also drew a mind map when reviewing, and rubbed the relevant information into the expandable area. It is estimated that he can last for three minutes, right

He bowed to Jijiu, Siye, and the instructors on the stage, turned around to face all beings, and recited aloud: "The Master said: Those who follow me to Chen and Cai will not be able to reach the door." Confucius tells the story of Chen and Cai.

In the Analects of Confucius, there are only a few words that really refer to Chen and Cai Zhi'e, "The Duke of Wei Ling asked Chen Yu Confucius". He first quoted the passage of Confucius Jiaozilu, "The gentleman is poor, and the villain is poor." "

After citing the chapters and sentences, cite "Confucius's Family Language". Although "Jia Yu" has been proved to be a false book since the Song Dynasty, in "Zhu Ziyu Lei", just under "Nanrong Sanfu Bai Guizhang" a chapter later, there is a sentence "This matter is seen in the family language, it is self-evident", It can be seen that Zhu Xi's attitude is to recognize the historical data in the family language.

Zhu Zi is now a saint revered by scholars, and Cui Xie, who he has used, naturally dares to use it.

He then recounted the reason why Confucius favored Chen Cai in the family language "Zai Er 20" and the detailed dialogue he asked Zilu to ask:

After Confucius left Duke Ling of Wei, he was invited by King Zhao of Chu to go to Chu State. The officials in Chen and Cai thought that Confucius was a sage. Soldiers rejected Confucius.

Confucius ran out of food for seven days, with no outside assistance, his followers were all sick, and his disciples had shaken their confidence in his "Tao", but he was still able to recite generously, and his qin and songs did not fail. He still called students to give lectures alone, and asked whether his Tao could not be practiced in the world, why he was stuck in this place, and taught according to the answers of Zilu, Zigong, and Yan Hui.

This is where Zilu asked Confucius, "A gentleman is also poor."

After speaking the original text of the Analects of Confucius, it is time for the next chapter. Zhu Zizhang's sentence is similar to the sentence explained in the language category, and it is said that the disciples who accompanied Chen Cai were not at the school at that time, and Confucius missed his companion's adversity.

After this passage of Confucius' words, there are "Ten Philosophers" recorded by the disciples, that is, the ten most outstanding among the Confucian disciples at that time: the representatives of the "Virtue" category are Yan Yuan, Min Ziqian, Ran Boyi, and Zhong Gong; "There are Zaiwo and Zigong, "political affairs" include Ran You and Jilu, and "literature" includes Ziyou and Zixia.

In this paragraph, the relationship between the four subjects must be clarified first, and then the identities of the ten philosophers will be explained separately.

Cui Xie first memorized the chapters and sentences, and then quoted from the "Compendium of the Four Books", "Zhu Zi said that virtue is the foundation of conduct", "Virtue is both internal and external, and runs through the whole bottom of things", "Those three things are each one thing", explaining the four subjects. Why do virtues come first. Then, according to the "Daquan", he explained why it was divided into three subjects: speech, politics, and literature: speech means being good at rhetoric, politics means being good at assisting the ruler and governing the people, and literature means being proficient in poetry, calligraphy, ritual and music.

Confucius divided his disciples' specialties into these four categories, and taught his disciples according to their aptitude, so that they could achieve their own achievements, and Shizhe was the leader in these four categories.

Who these ten people are, although everyone has recited them, but when they talk about it, in order to delay the time, they still need to talk about it in detail. No matter how boring his classmates were, Cui Xie wholeheartedly quoted the identities of these ten disciples and their words and deeds from "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Zhongni's Disciples".

After memorizing all of them, I will quote "Confucius said: There are seven out of seventy people who have knowledge of career and body", and then quote from the chapter and sentence that "the sages of the disciples are more than that." Zeng Zi preached Zi Si and Mencius and passed down the most orthodox Confucian tradition, and there is no Zeng Zi, a great preacher, among the ten philosophies listed in this chapter. Therefore, the words of Cheng Zi are quoted in the chapter and it is judged that the four disciplines and ten philosophies are nothing more than Secular sayings are not enough.

At this point, the chapter finally ends. If it is hard to argue, Xu Gan, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, said in "Zhong Lun: Zhixing" that Zeng Zi "cannot be ranked in the four-line division with You and Xia Lie, because it is not as good as it is", and then use it again. Zengzi then spread that Mencius, a sage above the "virtue" department, pushed back Zeng Zi's virtue and talent, and forcibly slapped him in the face.

However, it has been a long time since he talked about it here, and it would be meaningless to set a target to fight, so he took advantage of the situation to close the conversation, turned around and saluted, and told the instructors that he had finished speaking.

Qiu Jijiu nodded with a smile, and encouraged: "I'm not afraid of the scene. The preparation for this lecture can be considered carefully."

Fei Siye also said: "It's quite detailed. I think the most rare thing is that he has such calmness at his age. Ordinary students have stage fright when they give a lecture for the first time, and they can recite it well. Maybe he can't remember where he is. He can still manage to say what he has to say, cite everywhere, and talk about it. I hear that there are still some unfinished meanings... "

He glanced at Cui Xie and asked, "There are so many instructors and senior students here, aren't you afraid?"

Don't be afraid, mainly because I used to be a representative of various types, received national grants and scholarships, and made a lot of speeches on stage, so I was used to it.

Cui Xie said calmly: "It is in front of the instructor and classmates that I am not afraid. If I am not wrong, I am not afraid to repeat the lecture. If I am wrong, the instructor will correct me on the spot, and I will be able to correct it immediately. This is a good thing, because Why be afraid?"

Qiu Jijiu said with a smile: "Yes, young people should have such energy. When I saw him, I remembered that I was full of energy. I will ask him to come up in the next chapter. It will be interesting for two young people to talk together."

Zhaifu called Fei Hong loudly to go up.

Cui Xie came down, and happened to meet him in front of the stage, so he bowed his hands and gave him a sympathetic look. Fu Jieyuan didn't seem to be bothered by being on the stage to give lectures. He bowed his head and bowed back to him. He walked up to the stage full of energy to talk about the next chapter.

He also speaks very naturally, with a broad and loud voice, a little faster when he speaks, his thinking is quick, and the history of scriptures hidden in his chest is also richer. Several of the supervisors who went up later were not as good as him, and Cui Xie was a little slack in taking notes. He only took citations and ignored the explanations added by the students themselves.

This day will pass during the lecture, and the lectures will not be drawn again. Cui Xie'an listened to the class steadily for a long time. At noon, he returned to the fasting room to take the basket of zongzi to share with his classmates. When he walked outside the Chengyi Hall, he saw several students gathered under the corridor, as if they were watching something.

Is the roll posted

Cui Xie remembered the tip Fei Jieyuan he bumped into when he was lecturing, and was curious about what he could write, so he squeezed in and looked at the paper posted on the wall through the gap in the head.

Looking at the handwriting, it seems that it was transcribed by the instructors in the school. I can't tell who it is, and the name is hidden. He didn't want to forcefully squeeze in, so he asked from behind, "Whose article is it, can you ask me to read it too?"

The person in front said without looking up: "Ou Shizhen... don't crowd, it's being copied here, and it will be passed on to everyone when it's copied."

There are also kind-hearted people who replied: "Not only here, but also outside the six halls, you can stay for three days. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and see or find someone to copy it. Everyone who is crowded here will be finished copying. If you leave again, you won’t move away easily.”

Since there are a lot of people posting, then he is not in a hurry to ask for it. Anyway, you always have something in your hands. He has borrowed other people's notes so many times, and someone must be willing to borrow him to copy.

Cui Xie thanked him, but decided to go to the hall to get his zongzi first. He walked forward along the corridor, and before he took a few steps, he heard someone recite "Saints use rituals and music, describe what people respect at the time, and show what they obey." The sound of praise faintly came into my ears, saying how well this sentence was broken to the point, neutral and peaceful.

He also felt that the sentence was broken well, the weather was good at the beginning, and there was a wide place to sway in the back. He unknowingly stopped and wanted to listen to a few more sentences. Those people only commented on breaking the question. After a while, they were all about the same comment. They were about to start reading the acknowledgment part, but there was one that was not very harmonious. The voice interjected—

"Although this sentence is broken, the work is stable, but the three sentences that break the title lengthen the rhythm and are not powerful enough. I saw this article 'The sage describes the shortcomings of the time and people's style, and shows the extreme use of it', and it is more thorough. ."

This sentence... this sentence was written by him!

How could he be posted!

Why did he just run away in a hurry, and insisted on staying here and listening to others read the papers!
