Think about how old Luo Zhi is, he is already thirty-six years old, how old Luo Xin is? He is only twelve years old.
Although Luo Heng still had expectations for Luo Zhi in his heart, hoping that Luo Zhi would pass the imperial examination, he had already placed Luo Xin at the same height as Luo Zhi.
In fact, it was not just Luo Heng, but also the three scholars in Shanglin Village, Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi, who all placed Luo Xin in the same position as them. Although the three of them were Luo Xin's adoptive father, Luo Xin's enlightenment teacher, and Luo Xin's uncle, they were all Luo Xin's elders, but what the literati in their bones made them think that even if the younger generations reached the same level as them in their knowledge, at least they were people of the same class in their studies.
Therefore, all the villagers of Shanglin Village realized that from then on, there was another person they looked up to in Shanglin Village. Luo Xin already had the same prestige as Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi.
Luo Zhi was in a complicated mood. He was happy in his heart, happy for his nephew, and he no longer had the contempt he had ever looked down on Luo Xin before. At the same time, he felt huge pressure in his heart. His nephew could basically be sure to pass the scholar, so he would take the provincial examination with him. If he did not pass the imperial examination and his nephew passed the examination, he would not know where his face would be placed at home in the future?
You should know that he has always been the pride of the Luo family before. He is the only scholar in the Luo family, and he is also a scholar. His status at home actually surpasses that of the eldest brother, who is the eldest son, let alone the second brother Luo Ping. But when he thought that if he didn't pass the exam and his nephew passed the exam...
He dare not think about it!
He is different from Zhang Shu and Lin Chang. Both of them are old and have given up on the examination. So there is no unnatural thing to face Luo Xin. He wants to go to the examination room with his nephew!
Under tremendous pressure, his reckless temperament changed. He was extremely rare when he was not in the Luoxin sign the next day and was obsessed with studying and was obsessed with the Taoist test. He also went to seclusion and studied in seclusion.
Luo Xin thanked the guest behind closed doors and was naturally not trying to deal with the Taoist test. He is no longer able to improve his knowledge by studying behind closed doors. He needs to go out for a trip and broaden his experiences.
The only purpose of his visitor behind closed doors was to organize some things and write a book about basic academic majors. This idea emerged on his way back to Shanglin Village. And once this idea emerged, it would be deeply rooted as if it had been rooted.
The reason why Luo Xin had this idea was that on the one hand, he needed a real reputation in the Shilin circle to protect his future career, and on the other hand, he had this ability. Because he was not writing these books alone, he wrote them on the shoulders of giants.
After Jiajing, although there were no founders like Zhu Xi and Wang Mingyang, many great scholars also appeared. For example, Liu Zongzhou in the late Ming Dynasty, Huang Zongxi in the early Qing Dynasty, and many great masters in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even Confucian masters in the late Republic of China.
not to mention……
In the later era of information explosion, there were many new and in-depth research on Confucianism. In other words, Luo Xin had a huge database of data, and all he needed was to sort out these data and then form a system. This was relatively easier.
So, as soon as Luo Xin returned to Shanglin Village, he began with great enthusiasm.
However, he thought it was simple. When he really started to do it, he found that it was not as simple as he thought.
First of all, the huge amount of information. Not to mention the novel views and in-depth research from later generations, it only took Luo Xin a lot of energy to sort out the information from the Jiajing period to the Republic of China after the Chinese New Year. This is because Luo Xin's big box has already written materials. The ideological system of these materials is not unified. Generally speaking, there are two systems, one is the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucian system, and the other is Wang Mingyang's mind-study system.
Besides, in the era when the information explosion in later generations, there were also a lot of information that could be integrated into the Ming Dynasty. However, these information was too fragmented. It was a difficult process for many schools to integrate these fragmented information into a system.
Luo Xintou did nothing for three days. All he thought about was the ideological system that the books he wrote were inclined toward, whether it was Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism or Mind Studies.
There is no doubt that Neo-Confucianism is in line with the emperor's idea of ruling the world, which is also an important reason why the study of Xinxue was suppressed during the Jiajing period. However, Luo Xin's heart was more inclined to the study of Xinxue, which is the unity of knowledge and action.
For example, when Liu Zongzhou was young, he was a supporter of Neo-Confucianism, but later became a believer who spared no effort to promote the study of mind. Because the idea of knowing the difficulty and doing things in Neo-Confucianism made scholars indulge in exaggeration all day without actual actions. For example, the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty had forgotten the foundation of Confucianism.
Luo Xin thought for three days, and he boldly set a goal for himself, which is to use Neo-Confucianism and Mind as the basis, explore the fundamentals of Confucianism, remove the exaggeration in Neo-Confucianism, and also remove the nothingness in Mind as well, and write out the purest Confucianism fundamentals.
As a result, the difficulty has increased. Fortunately, he has a huge database of data, and the big box contains the information he copied. And it is all classic materials, and it is a classic article written by great scholars in history. What he needs to do now is to screen, and it is a rough screening.
Then he began to reread the roughly selected books, and with a quill pen, circled the places in the book that were considered exaggerated and nothingness. This is a detailed selection. When reading, if you have new insights, write them on paper.
So the dozen or so pictures on the table were not the books that Luo Xin wanted to write, but some of his feelings. Now the work that was just a detailed selection has not ended. At this time, Luo Xin's heart has calmed down, and he has realized that this is a long-lasting job.
In the past month, Luo Xin has not finished reading the books in the box again, let alone carefully selected them. Moreover, Luo Xin read very slowly. He found that when he used these classic articles from later generations as databases to screen them, it was completely different from the usual reading. This was a process of removing corruption and retention of essence, and also a process of forming his own ideological system. Therefore, he thought more and got more, which actually improved his knowledge that he had not improved for a long time. Moreover, this improvement was an improvement of the ideological system and an improvement of the realm.
After discovering this situation, Luo Xin reads even slower and thinks for a longer time. Often, he has to think for a long time after reading two pages. This way, his progress is even slower, but Luo Xin is completely immersed in it.
