Chapter 1608 A Confucian classic can bring peace to the world
"Spring and Autumn Fanlu" has twenty-eight volumes, involving one hundred and thirty-three chapters on different contents.
The induction of heaven and man is a key chapter, and it also involves the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, covering the spiritual path synthesized from Confucianism, especially the Yin and Yang School.
Whether you are studying literature or martial arts, the content compiled by Dong Zhongshu can be used as a reference, and even like Dong Zhongshu, he promoted both culture and martial arts.
This is almost a summary of Dong Zhongshu's lifelong experience, which not only involves self-cultivation, but also involves ideas, and even includes chapters about his own ambition to govern the country.
Dong Zhongshu had previously mentioned that he would teach Gongsun Hong the art of policy and inquiry when he entered the imperial court. Zhang Xuezhou was able to see what he needed from Dong Zhongshu's compilation. Gongsun Hong also had the experience and knew how to deal with it safely.
It can be said that this is a lecture by Dong Zhongshu, and he is even giving a lecture based on what he has learned at the moment.
This is an important gift dedicated to the emperor. Dong Zhongshu treated it with respect and seriousness, and was not as secretive as ordinary sects teach.
Except for the calculation and operation related matters that Dong Zhongshu did not dare to copy, and the complicated and diverse Confucian techniques that were not recorded, Dong Zhongshu had already transcribed almost everything else he had learned.
“Zhongshu’s knowledge is truly profound, and a single Confucian classic can level the world!”
Dong Zhongshu wrote for three days and two nights, and his state was almost at the peak of excitement and fullness. Gongsun Hong, the bystander, also watched with wide red eyes, and made suggestions when Dong Zhongshu needed correction.
It wasn't until Dong Zhongshu put away his pen that Gongsun Hong shook his body and praised him repeatedly.
There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. It is extremely difficult for people to admit that others are better than themselves. This situation is especially common among people from the same sect and school.
Even those who are seventeen or eighteen years old think that they will be better than others in the future. When they are not as good as others, they will also say that so-and-so is good, and so-and-so is worse than others of their own school. So and so is strong.
This kind of understanding has existed since ancient times.
After watching "Spring and Autumn Blossoms", Gongsun Hong was convinced and no longer had any thoughts of comparison.
Not only did he think that he was far inferior to pioneering masters like Dong Zhongshu, Gongsun Hong also believed that there were very few people like Dong Zhongshu in the Confucian sect, and only the two sages who created the Confucian world could surpass them.
This is the master of Confucianism. Whenever Dong Zhongshu succeeds and enters the state of communication between heaven and man, at that moment Dong Zhongshu will definitely be extremely powerful and dominate the world.
"Spring and Autumn Dew" belongs to Dong Zhongshu's first draft, but Gongsun Hong can already see the future.
Theoretically, what Dong Zhongshu said points to a top avenue.
What's more important is that this is not just Dong Zhongshu's way, but a way that others can repeat, and even introduce new ways.
The founders of some sects and schools were successful for a while, but it was difficult for future generations to repeat the same, let alone continue the innovation, which eventually led to their demise.
But Dong Zhongshu’s Tao is not like this. It is a tree that can accommodate thousands of flowers and can bloom different flowers.
The inclusiveness and diversity of Confucianism can make each inheritor different. It is no longer the same model of practice in the sect. You can practice martial arts, grammar, and practice by studying Confucian classics. Water magic, fire magic, curses, earth magic...
Every Confucian scholar can show different skills.
There are many schools of Confucianism, and each school is inclusive and can accommodate a variety of techniques, but no one can accommodate them all like Dong Zhongshu.
Having personally experienced both civil and military cultivation, Dong Zhongshu undoubtedly has the common characteristics of both, and has also accomplished many things that Confucianism cannot do.
This takes into account the complexity and diversity of spiritual practice, but also achieves unity.
If the imperial court takes Confucian Classics as its general outline, it will not be like other schools of thought that can only specialize in one subject, but will be able to accommodate learning from other schools at the same time, and the confrontation and resistance caused will be reduced to a minimum. . The only flaw in this is that Dong Zhongshu's current approach is theoretical. Only when Dong Zhongshu succeeds can he prove the accuracy of this path and lead it to others.
It is no wonder that Dong Zhongshu said when he mentioned it, "My cultivation is not strong enough, and it is difficult to convince others when I speak out. Even if I write books, they will be piled up in the library."
This is Dong Zhongshu’s understanding, and it is also what Gongsun Hong can see.
Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for the new emperor to promote Confucian scriptures, but as a gift from King Jiangdu, it is very likely to succeed if the new emperor pays attention and praises it.
"It is difficult to bring peace to the world, but with Dong Zhongshu's lifelong efforts, it should not be a problem to make a tribute gift!"
Gongsun Hong's admiration came from the heart, but Dong Zhongshu himself Know your own affairs.
Either he is a great Confucian scholar like Gongsun Hong who has no prejudice against him, or a hopeless person like Zhang Xuezhou sees an opportunity. It is very difficult for others to get the same recognition. Some senior officials of the school will even vigorously criticize and criticize him. criticism.
Only when Dong Zhongshu truly climbs high will those noises become lower.
He politely thanked Gongsun Hong for his compliment and gently put down the pen in his hand.
"Dongfang Shuo, what is your evaluation of this?" Dong Zhongshu asked.
“I hope Master will succeed soon, so that we can also learn from Master!”
Dong Zhongshu made a first draft, and Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was probably like Qimon Hagrid when he saw the elementary life-extending pill.
This is what I want but cannot get, and I can only wait quietly.
But the limited time made Zhang Xuezhou a little anxious.
It is almost difficult to express what is in his heart to others, and only Chimon and Hagrid can empathize with him.
“Although this is a first draft, there may be some corrections in the future, but generally there is no problem.” Dong Zhongshu said: “If you also want to try the practice of divine induction, it won’t be too bad to try now. , there is no need to wait until I enter the final version of my true self!”
"Then I will adjust it the next time I perform the technique," Zhang Xuezhou said: "Let's see if we can use this technique!"
"Don't think about the induction of heaven and man when facing the enemy," Dong Zhongshu warned. Said: "I myself have never had the unity of nature and man when facing the enemy. It was only that time when we, the Great Sage Dou Shuiyuan, took the risk to seek a breakthrough and entered the country. But that time also taught me a painful lesson that makes me sad to this day. I feel a little regretful!”
"I'm not that stupid." Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands repeatedly, and suddenly came back to his senses: "Master, I didn't say that you were stupid at the time!"
"It's better to be stupid than to lose your life, that's all, you are also a Flexible man, what? It’s up to you to learn and apply it!”
Dong Zhongshu thought about his own lessons, and then thought about Zhang Xuezhou, only to realize that Zhang Xuezhou was a careless guy, and his many instructions could not keep up with the needs brought about by the changes on the spot.
"I have always valued peace, and I like to run when I can't beat you. I won't do such high-risk things!"
Continuously using a spell to become more proficient is to enhance its power and shorten its length. Casting time, if they waste time by adding a prefix auxiliary spell before casting the spell, they will kill themselves when they are actually facing the enemy.
When Dong Zhongshu looked over, Gongsun Hong also waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he would not do anything stupid.
It is a normal idea not to do stupid things, but with the addition of Dong Zhongshu’s groundbreaking content, Gongsun Hong only felt that after successful practice, he would be able to truly step into the forefront of the great Confucians of the world, not just Confucianism. The second-in-command and third-in-command of a school of thought.
In the future, he can be pushed to the front by Dong Zhongshu, and Gongsun Hong can truly stand at the front.
