Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 23
Philosophers.

In Hangu Pass 500 years ago, there was a debate on "good recipes for governing the country".

After all, this is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, an era when thought and culture were the most brilliant and the stars were shining. All schools of thought questioned and contended with each other, and the academic situation was unprecedentedly grand and prosperous.

For future generations, it is definitely a big scene that is rarely seen in a century.

Especially the three "referees", each of them is bigger than the other.

Confucius, known as the "teacher" by later generations of scholars, wrote an article in "The Analects of Confucius", which has been passed down for thousands of years.

There is also a saying that the sky does not give birth to Zhongni, and the ages are like the night.

There is the most mysterious Guiguzi in Chinese history, this old man who traversed the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, his secrets are no less than those of the older Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Finally, Lao Tzu from the "Tao Te Ching" drove the green cattle and went west to Hangu Pass, leaving endless reverie ever since.

The three old people are sitting in the right seats, absolutely a famous scene.

This is a real person in history, not an actor, and it has a great visual impact on the audience.

A hundred schools of thought are constantly debating.

In order to present the best live broadcast effect, Lin Feng turned on the "special effects skills" to the limit, the most high-definition impression, the clearest subtitles, and a subtitle introduction will appear before each school's lecture.

Everyone in future generations can find the school of thought that belongs to their profession among the hundreds of schools of thought.

"The military is strong. I am a veteran. Every time my grandson speaks, it makes my blood boil. To protect the family, defend the country, and protect China, I have no regrets in this life."

"I'm a farmer. I think the farmer's saying is the best. The seasons are the seasons. Plant according to the weather. Sow and cultivate. There are also five harvest regulations. The people have food and the country is rich. Only then can there be long-term peace and stability. Well said!"

"The famous Gongsun Long put it even better. He has sharp teeth and dialectics. He is a model for our lawyers."

"Zou Yanzi, a yin and yang expert, is also very good. He uses the theory of yin and yang and five elements to explain the changes of the four seasons, and uses the theory of yin and yang and five elements to explain the change of dynasties. It is the beginning of the yin and yang school, unifying the previous academics, and emphasizing that yin and yang are two opposite and complementary properties of the universe. It is an abstraction, and it is also a philosophical category of the unity of opposites and the laws of thinking in the universe.”

"Scientists are the best, have you heard that? As early as 2000 years ago, we had many theories on many mathematical problems."

……

A hundred schools of thought have argued for a long time, refuting each other, but unifying each other.

In the end, everyone expressed their views one by one and refuted the views of others, and the scene gradually quieted down.

Of course, the so-called good recipes for governing the country are not unified.

At this time, an old man looked at Lin Feng and at this young man from later generations, and asked quietly:
"Mr. Lin, tell me, which school is better and can become a good recipe for governing the country?"

All eyes focused on Lin Feng.

The scene was more silent.

Lin Feng walked to the center of everyone, saluted, and said with a stern face and bright eyes:
"The juniors feel that any sect is wrong and cannot be a good way to govern the world."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Then there was a burst of noisy discussions, everyone had opinions on Lin Feng, big opinions...

The audience who watched the live broadcast were also collectively dumbfounded, showing expressions of astonishment.

What do you mean?
Lin Feng, the host, why did he completely deny all schools of thought when he opened his mouth?
Didn't he originally respect the Hundred Schools of Thought?

Why did the outlet change?

"Hey, this young host dares to speak out, isn't he afraid of being beaten by gangs?"

"It is estimated that he wants to push the effect of the program to a higher climax and make the program more enjoyable."

"Let's see how confident he is, dare to deny Zhu Xue!"

"This is the most glorious era of contention. I really don't know how dare Lin Feng speak so boldly?"

"Look, Lin Feng's eyes are firm and firm, and he seems to be very confident?"

"A person of later generations wants to fight against all schools of thought? Am I right?"

"Remember, we may be about to see an even more incredible debate between ancient and modern times."

"Fuck! Modern people, are you against the ancients? It sounds very exciting!"

……

For Lin Feng who dared to be alone, his tone was tough, and for the matter of hundreds of wise ancient scholars.

There is a lot of noise on the Internet, and various topics are flying all over the sky.

Guangtai meeting room.

The old station director, Zhang Min, the deputy director, and others felt great pressure once again.

Because not long after Lin Feng said it, CCTV called and questioned the planning copy of this new variety show again.

The point is, all the copywriting is handled by Lin Feng, and they don't know the progress of Lin Feng's program!

In addition to waiting, waiting for Lin Feng himself to reverse, there is no other **************** bright and bright.

One of the disciples stood up and refuted Lin Feng. It was Zou Yan from the Yin Yang family. This old man with half-white hair and a hale and hearty spirit said:
"Mr. Xiao, I use the Yin-Yang School to say that the five virtues are invincible, Yu Tu, Xia Mu, Yin Jin, and Zhou Huo." Wood restrains earth, metal restrains wood, fire restrains metal, water restrains fire, and earth restrains water. "

"Do you agree with this?"

This is the theory of the five elements restraining each other.

Probably means.

For example, the Xia Dynasty is a wood virtue, advocating blue.Yin Shang is Jinde, advocating white.The Zhou Dynasty was the virtue of fire, and the red color was admired.Gold overcomes wood, fire overcomes gold.And water can overcome fire.

This is based on the existing dynasties, inlaid with the theory of the five elements, which sounds reasonable and reasonable.

Lin Feng did not answer, but instead asked:
"Old Zou, may I ask which vassal state in the Warring States period can rise strongly after the Huode of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"And this rising dynasty, is it the same as the Zhou Dynasty?"

"Will the new dynasty continue the enfeoffment system?"

Three questions.

Zou Yan couldn't answer the question for a while.

The school he studies is based on the existing dynasties to perfect the theory of the five elements, which has not been extended to the future for the time being, and it is still unable to perform divination, calculation, hexagram formation, etc.

Lin Feng said again, "I come from later generations, and I know the heroes of the Warring States Period, who will finally compete in the Central Plains."

The old Zou Yan blushed slightly, and said, "The virtue of fire in the Zhou Dynasty, the virtue of water will definitely appear next. The old man thinks that the rise of Qin should be the same; the rise of Qin must be like the Zhou Dynasty. It will follow the ritual and music system of the Zhou royal family and divide the feudal states ..."

Lin Feng was worried that what he said would change the past history too much.

There is no explicit mention of the rise of Qin.

He just said, "Mr. Zou, I can tell you clearly that after the Zhou Dynasty, there will be a unified empire. At that time, there will no longer be a system of enfeoffment, but a system of prefectures and counties, a centralized rule."

"From then on, the first emperor in name will appear, a majestic and magnificent emperor through the ages."

"Under his rule, the cars are on the same track, the books are on the same text, and the currency is unified..."

Lin Feng's words made everyone in the various schools of thought shocked and horrified, because this achievement is really too great!

Just the fact that the cars are on the same track and the books are on the same page can have a huge impact on them.

"One emperor through the ages?"

Zou Yan asked in shock, "Is there really such a talented emperor?"

Lin Feng nodded, and said, "It's absolutely true, starting from this eternal emperor, China has truly achieved great unification."

The expressions of everyone at the scene became more and more tangled.
