Chapter 635: Back
In the Imperial College, the bell of the end of get out of class echoed on campus. In a classroom, the doctor Xu Wenyuan, who finished the lecture, did not rush to leave. Facing the students around him, he patiently answered the questions raised by the other party.
Xu Wenyuan was proficient in "Zuo Zhuan", which has thirty-five volumes. It is one of the Confucian classics and the longest work among the thirteen classics. When students study "Zuo Zhuan", they will naturally have many things they cannot understand. At this time, they need to be teachers to answer questions and answer questions.
Xu Wenyuan was most disgusted with reading the text according to the script. He felt that as a teacher, he should summarize the key points of each volume of the classic and teach the students the essence, rather than letting the students feel confused and confused.
He believes that as long as the problem is not too superficial, it must be a problem that the student discovers after careful consideration. At this time, as long as the teacher gives a little help, the other party will suddenly realize it and then the knowledge will reach a higher level.
The break between classes was twenty minutes, and Xu Wenyuan didn't finish answering questions until class was about to begin, packed up his books and left the classroom.
Walking down the corridor, he looked at the snowflakes like willow catkins outside the eaves, and looked at the many students rushing back to the classroom to attend classes along the way, listening to the ringing bells, his emotions were infected by this vibrant campus.
My originally bleak back became taller on campus.
The season is so good. You don’t need to worry about the chaos of war or the natural disasters. As long as you are determined, you can study hard, unlike in the past...
Perhaps because of his age, Xu Wenyuan often thinks about the past, his relatives and friends, and then a faint sadness arises in his heart, and begins to sigh at the past.
When he was young, his family was poor, and his brother opened a bookstore to sell books to make a living. He took time to read books while helping, and then he started to learn by himself.
If you don’t understand something, write it down, and then take advantage of the public teaching of a great scholar, you will get into the audience and find a way to ask the great scholar for advice.
After many years, his knowledge became more and more profound. Even though he later became a master of Confucianism, he never turned away the students who asked questions because of his own experience in studying.
Now, the world is peaceful and the imperial court is promoting political education. The students' study conditions are very different from those in the past. The imperial court has also promoted the imperial examinations and selected talents through examinations. Students all over the world study hard and work hard for fame.
Times have really changed.
However, the isomorphism of the country and the integration of loyalty and filial piety should not change.
Xu Wenyuan returned to his office. The assistant had turned on the "heating", so the room was as warm as spring. He sat on a high-legged seat - a chair, put the book down, took the newspaper brought by the assistant, and looked at it seriously.
The Imperial College has subscribed newspapers for every doctor and assistant professor. This is today's morning newspaper. The newspaper sends the newspaper to the Imperial College early in the morning. When Xu Wenyuan went to the Imperial College to prepare for class, the newspaper was placed on the desk.
But he felt that class was the most important and didn't want to be distracted, so he didn't look at this morning newspaper that had already been delivered until he returned to the office after class.
Not long ago, he published a signed article in the newspaper, titled "The Civil Law is Out, Loyalty and Filial Piety Destruction", and expressed his objections to the "Mingde Law" section of the "Mingde Law" that the court is currently revising.
He believes that family (family) is the foundation of the country, and living together with wealth is the correct way to maintain the family (family). Grandparents, parents, and descendants are wrong from different sources of wealth, and are unfilial.
Those who are unfilial to their grandparents and parents will not be loyal to the king.
If the court did not delete some wrong clauses in the "Civil Law" and instead implemented them in this way, and overemphasizing "law" and despising "rituals" will inevitably lead to the collapse of the family (family), and loyalty and filial piety will become a rootless tree, which will disappear with the collapse of the family.
This is Xu Wenyuan's view. Once it was published, it attracted heated discussions from all sides. Many knowledgeable people then wrote articles in newspapers and magazines to support his proposals.
Those who support the original manuscript of "Civil Law" seem to be mute for a while, without even a decent rebuttal article.
Of course, there is no refutation of the article, because Xu Wenyuan knew that no one dared to refute his argument directly. "House-country isomorphism" is a creed that never allows any challenge. Anyone who wants to refute his argument must first deny "House-country isomorphism".
However, who dares?
Even Liu Guangbo (Liu Xuan) and Liu Shiyuan (Liu Zhuo) dare not.
He drank a cup of tea and continued to look through the newspaper to see if there were any refutations of the article today. As he looked, his eyes narrowed.
In one page of the newspaper, an article was published, and the title of the article was "Back View".
The author wrote this article without signing it, using the first person "I", and the content of the article talks about the relationship between father and son.
"I" was born in Gwangju and is a "rail engineer". I have been traveling along the Guanghuang Railway all year round to solve various technical problems. Of course, the Guanghuang Line has been extended a lot now, so my colleagues and I are busy building the railway.
My relationship with my father is not very good. To be precise, I have a very bad relationship with my stepmother, so I am "a different from other things" and live outside with my wife and children. I remit half of my salary to my father every month, which is considered to be a filial piety.
Anyway, I won’t go home if I can’t go home anyway. There is another reason.
Once upon a time, I had a great hope of being elected to the imperial examination, but because my mother passed away, my family changed and my father gave birth to several sons after he reunited. I was short of money, so I was forced to interrupt my studies, study in a technical school, and work to earn money to support my family.
The future is gone, and I feel resentful, so I don’t go home if I can, and even marry me without complaining. My father was very angry about this, but he did not go to the government to sue me as my stepmother urged me.
Not long ago, my grandmother passed away. I went home to attend the funeral. I stayed at home for a few days. My stepmother was still cold. My younger brothers and I had nothing to say. As for my father, it was still annoying that nagging.
Because the court wanted to build railways, I could not leave my job for too long, so the holidays were limited. It was impossible for me to serve my grandmother for the mourning period like my cousin who was working at home. So after my grandmother was buried, I would leave.
That day, my father took me to the station, got in the car and found a seat, put my luggage in. I talked to my father for a while, and said goodbye to my father.
He looked outside the car and said, "I'll buy a few oranges, just sit in the car, don't walk around."
I looked out of the car and found a few vendors selling goods waiting for customers outside the fence of the platform opposite. If I wanted to walk there, I had to cross the railway and jump down and climb up.
My father is old, so it will be more troublesome to walk over. I was going to go, but he refused and asked me to sit down and look at my luggage. I couldn't resist, so I had to let him go.
I saw him staggering to the edge of the railway and leaning down slowly, which seemed not too difficult.
But it was obviously not easy for him to climb up the platform there.
He climbed up with both hands, his feet shrank upwards, and his thin body leaned slightly to the left, looking very difficult.
At this time, I saw his back and tears suddenly flowed down. I quickly wiped away my tears.
I am afraid of being seen by my father and I am afraid of being seen by others.
When I looked out again, my father was already carrying the red oranges and walking back.
When passing the railway, he first spread the oranges on the ground, climbed down slowly, and then picked them up and left.
When I got here, I quickly got out of the car and helped him. He and I walked into the car and put the orange in my arms.
Then he slapped the mud on his clothes, feeling relaxed, and after a while, he said, "I'm leaving. Remember to write letters often when I go there, don't send telegrams, it's too much."
I took my father out of the car. My father took a few steps, turned around and saw me, and said, "Get in the car, no one looked at his luggage."
When his back was mixed into the people coming and going, I couldn't find it anymore, so I got into the car and sat down, and tears flowed out again.
When Xu Wenyuan saw this, tears couldn't stop flowing down, because the author of the article used simple words to express the father's care for his son deeply and delicately, and sincerely moved.
The father's back in the text reminds him of his father's back.
My father has passed away for many years. In Xu Wenyuan's memory, his back has been blurred, but sometimes it is very clear.
The love between father and son is as deep as the sea. Even when the father passed away for many years, his son is already old and he still can't forget it. Therefore, Xu Wenyuan was moved by the article and cried continuously.
The son in the article was wronged and delayed his future, so he complained about his father and was dissatisfied with his stepmother, but he still remitted half of his monthly salary to his father to fulfill his filial piety.
However, due to work reasons, he had to build railways for the court to relieve the worries of the king and father. This was considered loyalty, but he could not be better filial to his parents, or even to be able to serve his grandmother for the mourning period.
Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma of loyalty and filial piety.
The author expressed this feeling at the end of the article, blaming himself for being unfilial to his father, but not being unfaithful to the court (the emperor) because the court (the emperor) urgently needed to build more railways as soon as possible, so countless technical personnel were required to rush forward for the court like soldiers in the army.
The author blamed himself, thinking that he was not a filial son, and then asked himself, are he loyal to the court (the emperor)?
After seeing this article, Xu Wenyuan has fully understood that this is the rebuttal of the article he has been looking forward to. The author directly used his usual experience to express his feelings (induce) "The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety" to break the argument of "loyalty and filial piety" in his previous article.
The soldiers lamented that "loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma", and Xu Wenyuan had a way to explain so that the experience of the special group of soldiers will not affect the theory of "loyalty and filial piety".
