Chapter 58: Today, I will directly overturn the chessboard
"Old Zhao, are you Xunzi?" Chu Yuan was stunned and asked subconsciously.
But immediately, he shook his head again: "Impossible, Xunzi is dead!"
Chu Yuan remembers it very clearly that Xunzi died in 238 BC. In other words, it is the ninth year of King Zheng of Qin, and this year it has been ten years of King Zheng of Qin.
Therefore, Xunzi cannot be alive.
Even if this world is an extraordinary world, those sages and celebrities have extraordinary strength, Lao Zhao has already said that those great scholars have already reached the heavens...
Xunzi, I'm afraid it's no exception.
So, Lao Zhao's words...
Chu Yuan pondered, looked at Lao Zhao with his eyes narrowed, and asked subconsciously: "So, Lao Zhao, are you from Xunzi's school? Have you inherited Xunzi's thoughts?"
"Um?"
Xunzi was stunned when he heard Chu Yuan's words. What's the matter? He was dead?
Oh, yes, I am indeed dead, well, I died last year, I pretended to die, everyone knows that I am dead.
If nothing unexpected happens, he may have recorded it in later history books that he did die last year.
However, unexpectedly, he was found out that he not only did not die, but also regained his youth and lived a second life...
But Chu Yuan didn't know his identity.
Forget it, if you don’t know, you won’t know, this is nothing.
Xunzi pondered. Before, he had already planned to tell Chu Yuan about his identity, so that Chu Yuan knew that his old brother was actually the contemporary post-saint and the most holy future...
Of course, what he said before was very obscure. He thought Chu Yuan could understand it now seems...
I don't understand this at all.
Forget it, after waiting for a long time, you should know...
Xunzi sighed in his heart, but he didn't say much about his identity, just his last sentence to Chu Yuan...
Xunzi was a little surprised, Yang Mei asked with a smile: "I feel a little dissatisfied with Xunzi when you speak?"
"This is not..."
Chu Yuan shook his head, how could he be dissatisfied with Xunzi?
Although, in later generations, it is well known that Xunzi is not as good as Mencius, and Mencius is not as good as Confucius...
Even in later generations, Xunzi was driven out of the Confucius Temple and was not recognized by Confucianism.
It seems that Xunzi's influence is really not as good as Mencius and Confucius...
However, in fact, before the Song Dynasty, Xunzi's influence was far greater than that of Mencius!
In the past two thousand years since the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism in the world followed Xunzi's thoughts. Xunzi's thoughts have influenced countless eras...
Xunzi once had tablets in the Confucius Temple. Before the Song Dynasty, Xunzi was almost compared with Mencius and collectively called Xun Meng's Way.
Xunzi also took pictures in front of Mencius...
But why was Xunzi expelled from the Confucius Temple in the end?
To be honest, Xunzi is a little unacceptable, unruly, and a little unruly...
Xunzi was not only criticizing various schools of thought, but in the end, even Confucianism criticized it, just like a troll!
Other Confucian scholars all know the way of respecting Confucius and Mencius, but when it comes to Xunzi, it is different. Confucius is respected. After all, Confucius is the founder of Confucianism.
But what are the other Confucian sages?
Chu Yuan still clearly remembers that Xunzi wrote an article "Not Twelve Sons"!
He scolded twelve influential scholars in one breath.
It is said that these guys are justified on the surface and make sense, but in fact they are all fallacies...
Among these twelve people, all aspects involved are from all schools of thought. The key is that even Confucians have them!
Xunzi said this [Zi Si sang it, Meng Ke and he was in harmony. The secular ditch was like a scholar. He did not know what was wrong, so he accepted it and passed it on, thinking that Zhong Ni Zi's bow was more important than later generations: This is Zi Si, Meng Ke's crime.]
What does it mean?
The general meaning is that he only knows to imitate the previous kings, but does not know the key points. He also thinks he is talented and knowledgeable. He uses the mouths of the ancients to promote the five morals of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. The theory is obscure and difficult to understand. He also solemnly said that it comes from the theory of his ancestors Confucius, Zisi and Mencius. He was praised by those ignorant Confucian scholars from generation to generation. It is simply a sin of both of them!
Tsk, don’t look at the fact that there are no swear words, this scolding is so cruel!
It was simply pressing Mencius and Zisi to the ground to rub...
With all these scattered people, you can see what kind of person Xunzi is...
He is a ruthless man and a troll...
Learned trolls!
Mencius is nothing?
Zisi is just thinking nothing?
All the people in the world are nothing!
It's simply disrespectful!
So, after the Song Dynasty, those literati... tsk, all those who understand it understand it.
These things are generally not studied, so I don’t know. If Chu Yuan had not been idle for a while and had checked the deeds of celebrities in the primary school textbooks, he would have really not known that Xunzi had so many things...
But the more I checked, the more I felt that Xunzi was...
The Confucians next to them are really like Xunzi said, corrupt, sour, vulgar, and cheap, none of them do practical things, they are all idealistic!
Xunzi is different. His knowledge is realism, he uses both kings and hegemony, and both virtue and law!
Well, the Legal spy who is mixed in Confucianism...
Both students are all Legal disciples...
Therefore, for a long time in later generations, all scholars in the world followed Xun's studies and regarded them as classics.
But, to be honest, at this time...
Chu Yuan's eyes turned and he looked at Lao Zhao. It would be fine if he said that a young man was pursuing Xunxue. You are an old scholar and a scholar who is almost the same age as Xunzi, who also pursues Xunxue? Tsk, isn't it a bit abnormal?
In Chu Yuan's opinion...
Lao Zhao, no matter what, he has to criticize Xunzi, right? He thinks that Xunzi is very disrespectful to his ancestors and thinks that Xunzi is a rebellious person?
However, Lao Zhao feels like Xunzi's disciple, who specifically inherited Xunzi's mantra?
Incredible, incredible...
Chu Yuan shook his head, looked at Lao Zhao, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about Xunzi, let's talk about this realm..."
"oh……"
Xunzi's eyes flashed, his mouth smiled, and nodded, "Then I'll ask my little brother to comment."
"Well, I don't dare to be a comment..."
Chu Yuan was modest and decided to take it slowly and take it slowly...
"This... Regardless of the question of this title, since it is a realm, why is there only seven? Realm shouldn't be nine? Nine is the ultimate number... Even if I don't talk about this, I can understand the so-called three, six, nine, three, and six numbers. Your seven numbers... are a bit out of the ordinary!"
When Xunzi heard this, he was a little surprised and was unconforming to the routine? Then he insisted on being unconforming to the routine...
He didn't think too much about those seven realms, but now he thinks about them...
Since I want to discuss it...
Xunzi smiled and said, "Do you know that nine is the ultimate number, but don't you hear that seven is the ultimate number?"
Good guy, let's talk to me, right?
Chu Yuan and Yang Mei, he knew that Lao Zhao could say that he had already learned about Lao Zhao's verbal skills...
so……
Who plays chess with you? Who discusses the truth with you?
