Chapter 846: I’m heartbroken, Lao Tie
Ping An is confused, please enlighten me!
Zhu Ping'an's voice echoed in the lecture hall, echoed in Yang Guoliang's mind, and also echoed in the minds of everyone in the lecture hall.
The road to simplicity!
Zhu Ping'an's question is very simple, but it goes straight to the root of Yang Guoliang's theory of "the style of a king and the virtues of a concubine".
If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?
If Zhu Pingan’s question cannot be answered, then Yang Guoliang’s theory, no matter how high-minded or politically correct, is just a bubble.
While Yang Guoliang was thinking hard about Zhu Ping'an's question, others in the lecture office were also racking their brains to think about Zhu Ping'an's question. Why did the gentleman refer to King Wen of Zhou and the lady meant Week after week? !
Bells, drums, harp and harp, are these musical instruments only the king of Zhou is eligible to enjoy? !
Obviously not. The king of Zhou could use bells, drums, harps, and harps. Nobles often used these instruments for banquets. Common people could also use these instruments during sacrifices and weddings. It's just that the levels are different and the situations that can be used are different. According to the hierarchy of the ritual and music system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the king of Zhou could use four sides and eight yi ("佾" means "column", with eight people in each row, eight yi and sixty-four people), and the princes could use three sides (missing the north side) and six yi. The official can use two sides (missing the north and east) and four yi, and the scholar can use one side (only the south) and two yi. Common people can also use musical instruments during weddings, funerals, and sacrifices, but the number and appearance cannot exceed that of "shi". Rich people, if they are happy, can ask two people to play the piano or beat the drums themselves.
So how to explain that gentleman and lady refer to King Wen and Queen of Zhou?
Everyone racked their brains and thought hard but couldn't.
"Dr. Yang, please enlighten me." Zhu Pingan stood on the stage and held his hand again.
"Lady. Gentleman"
Yang Guoliang stood dumbly in the audience, his face was ashen, sweat was pouring on his forehead, his palms were also full of sweat, his brain seemed to be pressed by an invisible boulder He couldn't move anymore, his lips were a little white, and he muttered to himself.
A breeze blew outside the window, carrying the hot temperature outside, blowing into the lecture place and also blowing on Yang Guoliang's face.
The wind was weak and only turned one page of the book, but the blow on Yang Guoliang's face made Yang Guoliang stagger.
Is it too windy?
Or is the hall too hot?
Why do I feel a little unsteady? Yang Guoliang tried hard to maintain his balance as if he wanted to faint.
"Haha."
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the lecture place. It was full of energy, calm and full of confidence.
With laughter, someone under the podium stood up.
He had his hands behind his back and stared at Zhu Ping'an. He was tall and straight, like a hero standing on the cusp of the storm to turn the tide.
His figure is so majestic.
It's him!
Ma Huating, a lecturer at Prince Jing’s Mansion.
When Yang Guoliang's mind went blank and he didn't know how to answer, Mr. Ma Huating stood up.
Ma Huating's chuckle attracted everyone's attention. He stood up and looked at Zhu Ping'an with a mocking look on his face, and asked loudly: "Hasn't the number one scholar heard of the Spring and Autumn Brushwork? What is the Spring and Autumn Brushwork? Streamlined, the Book of Songs also This method is often used. What is meant by simplification is that the article "Guan Ju" does not use this method. The omission of the name of King Wen of Zhou also avoids the name of the monarch."
Ma Huating responded to Zhu Pingan with two points of view. One is the Spring and Autumn style of writing. Although the Spring and Autumn style of writing is famous because of Confucius, it was used by people before Confucius. It was named because Confucius often used this style to write "Spring and Autumn". The Spring and Autumn style of writing is all about simplicity. You can simplify names, you can also simplify ideas and opinions. "Guanyong" may have used the Spring and Autumn style of writing, simplifying the names of King Wen and Queen of Zhou, and referring to them as gentlemen and ladies.
The other is to avoid the name of the monarch. In the feudal times, in order to show their majesty, kings or respected relatives stipulated that people should avoid calling their names directly when speaking or write their names directly in writing, and use other words instead. This is the case in "Guan Ju". The names of King Wen and Queen of Zhou are avoided and replaced by gentleman and lady.
Spring and Autumn writing style avoids the monarch.
Haha
What a good reason.
After Ma Huating finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Ping'an triumphantly, as if he was the king of killing.
"That's right. Lord Ma makes sense."
"My dear Lord Ma. Spring and Autumn writing style is about simplicity. It is normal to omit the names of King Wen of Zhou and Queen of Zhou. In addition, to avoid monarch taboos, this is the case now. , this was also the case in ancient times, so "Guan Ju" did not write about King Wen of Zhou Jichang and Queen Zhou Tai Si's name."
"Yes, yes, that's it. Mr. Ma has a keen eye and discovered the problem at once."
Ma Huating's words were like seeing through the clouds. Yue was enlightened. After he finished speaking, everyone else suddenly realized it, as if they were waking up from a dream, and they all sighed and agreed.
"Guoliang is ashamed, but fortunately Mr. Ma has the opinion. After today's class, if Mr. Ma is free, please make tea together and discuss "Guan Ju"."
Yang Guoliang bowed seriously to Ma Huating and invited Ma Huating to make tea and discuss "Guan Ju" together after class.
"Mr. Yang's concern leads to chaos. Ma lives on the outside and is a bystander." Ma Huating smiled modestly.
After greeting Ma Huating, Yang Guoliang turned to Zhu Ping'an and said, "Master Ma's words are Yang's words."
At this moment, Yang Guoliang felt as if he was seriously ill. After recovery, the cold sweat on the head, the cold sweat on the palms, and the dizziness were all gone. My spirit couldn't be better, and my whole person returned to a normal demeanor.
"What do you think, Mr. Zhu? Are you satisfied with my answer?" Ma Huating looked at Zhu Ping'an confidently.
"No".
Zhu Ping'an curled his lips slightly and slowly shook his head.
"What? No?"
Yang Guoliang and Ma Huating were both shocked.
"The No. 1 scholar must respect basic common sense and don't force his words to make excuses." Then, Ma Huating looked at Zhu Pingan, slowly shook his head and said sarcastically.
"Ping An only speaks out because he respects basic common sense." Zhu Ping An replied calmly.
“Please enlighten me.” Ma Huating’s face darkened.
“It’s not about teaching, it’s just about learning from each other.” Zhu Ping’an smiled slightly, bowed his hands to Ma Huating and Yang Guoliang, and continued, “What Mr. Ma just said about Guan Ju uses the Spring and Autumn style of writing to omit King Wen of Zhou. , the name of Queen Zhou, please forgive me for disagreeing. The writing style of Chunqiu is a subtle statement, who, Where and what happened can be covered in one sentence, but the subject will not be omitted. Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" in the Spring and Autumn Period, and never omitted the subject, such as "In March, Gong and Zhu Yi's father made an alliance in Mi", "Spring," "Guild Rong Yu Qian' and so on."
"What about the taboo monarch?" Ma Huating asked coldly.
""Guan Ju" avoids tabooing about the monarch? This is even more nonsense. To avoid tabooing about the monarch is to avoid calling the monarch by his name. If he avoids tabooing about King Wen of Zhou, then avoid tabooing the word "Ji Chang" instead of "Zhou Wen" Moreover, there are two articles directly referring to "King Wen" in "The Book of Songs", one is "Daya Daming" and the other is "Da Ming". "Ya·Siqi". In these two articles, there are sentences such as "King Wen first set it up, a match made in heaven" and "King Wen's mother", which are clearly written in black and white, and definitely refer to King Wen of Zhou. Oh, by the way, these two articles also refer to King Wen of Zhou and Queen Zhou. The poems about marriage, Dr. Yang's two poems about things, may be more in line with the theory of "the style of a king and the virtue of a concubine""
Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth, slowly shook his head, and hit Ma Huating in the face one by one. Finally, he seriously suggested that Yang Guoliang examine the two poems "Daya Daming" and "Daya Siqi".
It hurts my heart, old man!
“Ahem.”
Yang Guoliang coughed, and there was a fishy-sweet feeling in his throat. Zhu Ping'an's serious look, in Yang Guoliang's opinion, is not only dazzling, but also very heartbreaking
