"Tao is a very mysterious thing. It is invisible and formless but it does exist. It dominates the law of the movement of all things in the world. Our Confucianism and etiquette are also within the Tao. The heavenly etiquette is produced by integrating etiquette into the heavenly way."

"The stars are circling, the sun and the moon are circulating, the four eras are in control, the yin and yang are transformed, the wind and rain are widely used, all things are harmonious and born, and each can be nourished and accomplished, and they do not see the cause but see the achievements."

"It is the way of heaven that is always in the way."

"The Confucianism nowadays... has no Tao."

After Xunzi's words fell, someone immediately laughed and said sarcastically: "Xunzi is a sage of the world. Listen to what you are saying? What you said is the truth, and knows that those who are wise and wise are saints among Gods, and the poor heavens cannot be approached, let alone Zhongni and us?"

Xunzi was not annoyed: "Tracing the roots, what is Confucianism? That was the first group of people who should know where the Tao is."

"Heaven can live in creatures, but cannot distinguish objects, the earth can carry people, but cannot cure people. Therefore, we should control the destiny of heaven and use it!"

After Xunzi finished speaking, Zisi spoke.

"Yes, use it by controlling the destiny of heaven, so whoever gets the King of Wu can restrict the destiny of heaven for his own use."

Zisi said to Xunzi: "Even if the way of the world is only one scoop, it will take a lot of time to obtain it. Xunzi's Confucianism is too high. The king likes to hear only the last sentence."

"But what the king likes is not correct, and the Tao cannot be mastered by them."

"The destiny of heaven is called nature, and the destiny of nature is called Tao. Etiquette is in me, Tao is in me, and destiny is in me. I restrain me with destiny and will not be used by others."

"This is the Doctrine of the Mean!"

Xunzi looked at him and wanted to speak but stopped. The two thoughts had both similarities and differences. The confrontation between ancient people and modern people had already appeared at this time, and Cheng Zhiyuan spoke after everyone did not speak.

"Mr. Zisi said that the way of a gentleman is the doctrine of the mean, and the words and deeds of a gentleman must be more in line with the doctrine of the mean. This is the doctrine of the mean, and it is based on the destiny of heaven. But what is the standard for Mr. Zisi to determine that the doctrine of the mean?"

Zisi said: "For me, I want to cross the river. The river is huge and urgent. There is a single-plank bridge. I hold a clay pot for water in my left hand and a bundle of heavy wheat in my right hand. I don't want to put it down either."

Cheng Zhiyuan: "How can you get both fish and bear's paw?"

Zisi: "Of course, kill the bear when it catches the fish."

Cheng Zhiyuan was stunned at that time.

Zisi said: "Nanhua played the trick of a child, which was mocked by Hui Shi's aggressive people."

"I stepped on the sword and wanted to preach, but I didn't want the worldly sword to stop me, so I put on my iron boots."

Cheng Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Yes, it's a childlike sophistry. Then I want to say a child's anger trick. I wonder if Mr. Zisi can solve it?"

Zisi said, "Tell me, I know that you have always been known for your sophistry. Look at your little tongue, how can you compare to that guy Zhang Yi!"

Cheng Zhiyuan bowed: "You have heard of this story."

Zisi's eyes were neither sad nor happy, and he seemed to think that Cheng Zhiyuan could stump him.

Cheng Zhiyuan said: "This question is-"
