    In fact, Wen Suchen could not be Wang Shouren's opponent from the beginning.

    "A person who talks in the study all day long can defeat a hundred opponents who talk in the study, but he can never defeat a person who goes to the mountains and seas. As Wang Shouren himself said, he really excels in things.

    "I deeply believe in the saying that knowledge can be obtained by studying things." Wang Shouren is actually not a rebel, but a successor: "Through observation of things, we can explore the principles of all things, and students also strongly agree."

    "But if you want to check things, then the things that Master Zhu checked are different from you and me. What Mrs. Zhu saw and heard is also different from you and me. Therefore, through what he saw and heard, and his thinking, Master Zhu can naturally  Learn his principles of nature and his way of being a saint. All these are Master Zhu¡¯s understanding of all things. Master Zhu¡¯s understanding of the principles of nature is extremely profound, and students admire him.¡±

    "Then, I dare to ask, Mr. Wen also has eyes and ears, and he also has his own things to see and hear. Master Zhu advocated studying things to gain knowledge. So, what objects can Mr. Wen study in life, and what principles of nature have he understood?"

    Wen Suchen reluctantly cheered up: "I read through the "Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books", "Explanation of Tai Chi Diagram", "Explanation of Tongshu""

    Wang Shouren shook his head: "These are all Mr. Zhu Zi's books. They are the principles learned by Mr. Zhu Zi through the observation of things, which is what we call the investigation of things. Mr. Wen, what the student wants to ask is, what does Mr. Zhu Zi himself think about?"  What do you understand about the way of saints and the principles of all things?"

    "" After understanding it himself, Wen Suchen said righteously: "We, the scholars, speak for the saints."

    The so-called speaking on behalf of the saints is a Neo-Confucian saying, that is, the important task of scholars is to speak for the saints. Because of this, scholars always talk about "Confucius said", "Mencius said", "Zhu Fuzi said". In short, saints  There is nothing wrong. If the saint's words are to be passed down, scholars must speak for the saint.

    Wang Shouren shook his head: "It's still wrong."

    Wen Suchen said: "Then, I still need to ask for advice."

    Wang Shouren said: "Confucius said that among three people walking together, there must be my teacher. It can be seen that there is knowledge everywhere in the world, and knowledge does not need to be limited to the Four Books and Five Classics. Master Zhu also advocated that scholars should study things to gain knowledge, and understand the principles of all things by themselves.  Since Mr. Confucius is a great Confucian of his time, if he has no own opinions, just because of his profound research on Neo-Confucianism, he should speak for the sage and Master Zhu. This is wrong. Sage Confucius and Master Zhu saw different things and naturally had different perceptions.  Ah. And Mr. Wen himself has no eyes or ears, is blind and deaf, and has never seen the world. Therefore, do you need saints to tell you what the world should be like?"

    "Scholars shouldn't be like this! Scholars learn the way of saints by keeping in mind the true intentions of the saints. What is the way of saints? The way of saints teaches you and me to respect our parents and love our brothers. It tells us to observe things more.  . It teaches us to respect etiquette. It teaches us to govern with virtue. It teaches us to study diligently. It teaches us the etiquette that our ruler and envoys should use, and the loyalty that our ministers should show when serving you. All these are the ways of a sage."

    "But how to observe things and how to explore the principles of nature requires one's own eyes and one's own ears. Speaking on behalf of the sages, Confucius came from the Spring and Autumn Period. He was exiled in various countries and promoted the method of benevolent government. These are what we need today.  Is there such a thing as a world? In the Spring and Autumn Period, although the well-field system collapsed, there were still remnants of the well-field. Therefore, Confucius believed that the collapse of the well-field was the cause of the chaos in the world. So, today's world, the well-field system, has been a long time ago  .¡±

    "Also, when Master Zhu was here, when Jingkang was in disgrace and the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively peaceful, Master Zhu's request to resist the Jin Dynasty was not accepted. Do these exist now? Master Zhu wrote the "Collected Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books" and wrote countless books.  Everyone in the world admires his numerous works, but these books are his life, his experiences, what he saw and heard, and his understanding of the world. Students admire Master Zhu, so they think that they are the disciples of a saint.  , is also a student of Master Zhu. It is because I admire him that I learn from him, observe things with my own eyes and ears, and learn how he thinks, so as to slowly improve my knowledge."

    "Mr. Wen said that scholars should speak for the saints, but Mr. Wen seems to have missed the last sentence. The latter sentence is: to carry on the unique learning to the saints. Master Zhu started his own thinking above the saints and prospered Confucianism.  , this is to inherit the unique knowledge for the saints. And today, why don't you and I dare to learn from Master Zhu, and on this basis, start thinking about the way of the saints. The world has changed, and people should also change. The way of the saints  It will not change, but how to interpret the way of the saints, and how to start new thinking on the basis of the way of the saints in this changed world, like Master Zhu, isn't this what you and I should do?  ?¡±

    ?"Mr. Wen is a great Confucian, respected by people all over the world. Because of this, it is even more important to set an example for the people of the world. If we just pick up the words of Confucius, Mencius and Master Zhu and recite them repeatedly, then why does the world need Mr. Wen?  ?¡±

    Wen Suchen said coldly: "If so, wouldn't this be a treason?"

    Wang Shouren smiled: "Mr. Wen, could it be that he has forgotten that at the beginning, Neo-Confucianism was also criticized as "pseudo-science" and accused of being deviant."

    Wen Suchen said: "Master Zhu is Master Zhu, how dare you compare yourself to Master Zhu?"

    Wang Shouren shook his head: "I don't dare. Students are also students of Master Zhu. If they don't learn from Master Zhu and don't know how to study things to gain knowledge, how can we open up new thinking for students."

    Everyone listened to the two people's lips and tongue swords, but people with eyes could understand that Wang Shouren's thinking was more active than Wen Suchen who was not muddy.

    Many people think that the new learning that Wang Shouren talks about is all based on the heart. It should be possible to inherit the mind learning of the Song Dynasty, and they will vigorously criticize Master Zhu.

    But no one would have thought that Wang Shouren still adopted many of Zhu Xi's ideas, and still vigorously advocated that Master Zhu should have a very high status in the study of saints.  The most shameless thing is that Wang Shouren said that I am a student of Master Zhu. What I studied is Master Zhu. Yes, I am very authentic

    This is a bit embarrassing.

    Therefore, although some people disagree with Wang Shouren's words, at least they are not objectionable.

    On the contrary, Wen Suchen hoped from the beginning that Wang Shouren would stand on the opposite side of Neo-Confucianism and vigorously criticize it. He never thought that this new knowledge would cling to the thigh of Neo-Confucianism and would not let go until his death.  , which left him with nowhere to use his strength.

    Even everyone has a vague feeling.

    Wang Shouren is actually competing for Master Zhu¡¯s right to speak, thinking that he did what Master Zhu did back then.

    "Compared to Wen Suchen, who only knows how to imitate parrots, I don't know how smart he is.

    Emperor Hongzhi had a smile on his face, but his eyes were staring at Fang Jifan, half smiling but not smiling.

    The king of North Korea, Li Yi, couldn¡¯t help shouting: "Win!"

    Someone in the crowd fell silent looking at Wang Shouren who was calm and composed.

    He has always thought that Wang Shouren was a weird person, who had been confused since he was a child. But today, the confidence Wang Shouren showed made people mistakenly think that this was a fake Wang Shouren.

    "Nonsense!" Wen Suchen was a little confused: "Master Zhu's original intention"

    As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Wait a minute!"

    Wen Suchen's face was pale, but Fang Jifan stood up: "Master Zhu is a saint, why do you look so disrespectful when you talk about Master Zhu?"

    ""

    Wen Suchen was debating with others, and of course his expression was not good-looking. What does it mean to be disrespectful?

    Fang Jifan said sternly: "This is simply unreasonable. Master Zhu is also the founder of Xishan Academy. Everyone in Xishan Academy respects him and treats him like a god. We have received Master Zhu's teachings and are all disciples of the saint. We are also disciples of Master Zhu. You mentioned  Our ancestors are so disrespectful, what does this mean?"

    "I'm just afraid of losing culture.

    Wen Suchen still didn't understand. This man is he shameless? If you say these words, won't you blush?

    Fang Jifan was really tired of listening to the two of them chattering a lot. He still preferred his own way. Fang Jifan added: "The ancestors are here to be respected. Just like Mr. Wen, you keep saying that you read  Zhu Zi, then, I dare to ask, do you really admire Master Zhu?"

    Wen Suchen felt that Fang Jifan was being arrogant and responded sternly: "I have studied with Zhu Xi for thirty-two years"

    Fang Jifan took it out of his sleeve, and a scroll of portrait fell into his hand. The portrait shook and he opened it: "You don't know how to respect teachers at all. Who do you think this is?"

    ZhuZhuMaster

    It is a portrait of Master Zhu.

    Although the painting is a bit ugly, it is only because Tang Yin has gone to Ningbo Mansion, otherwise Fang Jifan would guarantee that the person in the portrait would be more handsome.

    But everyone can see that this portrait is copied from the statue of Zhu Xi in the Confucius Temple.

    "Do you always carry a portrait with you?"

    "What's the meaning?"

    "Master Zhu is the ancestor of our Xishan Academy. We, the younger generations, should not only keep Master Zhu in our hearts, but also keep them in our eyes at all times. If we don't look at him more than a few times, we will not be able to eat anymore, and we will not be satisfied with the food.  So let me ask you, you keep saying that we are deviant, where are the students in Xishan Academy?"

    Shen Ao and others in the crowd all promised: "Yes."

    Fang Jifan said: "Quickly salute the ancestor."

    Shen Ao and others did not dare to hesitate and bowed to the portrait one after another: "I have seen the ancestor"

    Fang Jifan held up the painting with a sacred and inexplicable look on his face.

    ""

    All of a sudden, the tea shop suddenly became noisy.

    ¡°Many people are neither good at sitting nor good at standing. Thisisn¡¯t this nonsense?

    "But it's nonsense. It's none of your business that people admire Master Zhu. Is it wrong to carry a portrait of Zhu Zi with you at all times and regard Zhu Zi as an idol? When other students see Zhu Zi, they pay homage to him. Is it wrong?"  What's wrong?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Promise: "Yes."
