Chapter 2220

Fang Yun holds the new notes to the Analects written by himself and reads it in a gentle tone. He first reads the text of Kong Sheng's Analects, and then explains each word step by step, followed by literal translation and finally free translation, most of which contain extended meaning.

Fang Yun has the word of heaven in his mouth. Anyone who hears his voice will fully understand the meaning of words and text, and it is difficult to forget. He also has the power to educate the edge of the holy way, which is more convincing and makes the two big demon kings pious and modest.

The words of heaven are only passively accepted by the audience, but the power of enlightenment makes people take the initiative to change when they listen to the class. As time goes by, all changes will become habits and become new people.

Like the Analects of Confucius, the new notes to the Analects of Confucius has 20 articles in total. After reading five articles, Fang Yun looks at the two big demon kings.

Those two big demon kings are infatuated and still aftertaste this Terran classic.

Fang Yun ignored the two demons and made some corrections in the first five chapters, because he had new ideas in the process of reading.

After an hour, the two big demon kings returned to calm, and their eyes were softer than usual.

Fang Yun's original plan was to go to the ancient imperial forest first, and then to the vicinity of Chishan to wait for the God given mountain and sea. However, because the harvest of robbing demon barbarians far exceeded expectations, and it may take too many days to enter the ancient imperial forest, he decided to rob Chishan all the way.

One person and two demons went straight to Chishan and stayed for several hours a day. Four days later, Fang Yun finished the new notes to the Analects of Confucius.

The two big demon Kings also had obvious changes, with clearer eyes and smarter brains.

The rat king even beat around the Bush and wanted to worship Fang Yun as a teacher, but he was politely refused.

On the fifth day, Fang Yun taught two big demon kings while writing the new notes to the University.

"University" is an article in the book of rites, but it has more than a thousand words, but it is the outline of Confucianism. It puts forward eight items of "object, knowledge, sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, family harmony, governance and world peace".

In ancient China, Er Cheng first valued the University and the doctrine of the mean in the book of rites and called them "Xiaojing" together with the Analects of Confucius and Mencius. Later, Zhu Xi extracted the University and the doctrine of the mean separately for the first time, and called them the four books together with the Analects of Confucius and Mencius.

In the Shengyuan continent, before Fang Yun, no one extracted the University for separate annotation.

With his previous experience, Fang Yun did not immediately finish the new notes to university, but left the last punctuation mark. If the last sentence is not clicked, the whole book will not be completed.

On the sixth day, Fang Yun began to make the new note of the golden mean.

The golden mean does not have many words, only more than 3000. If the University focuses on self-cultivation, the golden mean pays more attention to cultivation.

From the seventh day, Fang Yun wrote Mencius new notes.

Among the four books, the university has more than 1000 words, the doctrine of the mean has more than 3000 words, the Analects of Confucius has more than 13000 words, and Mencius has more than 34000 words.

Compared with the Analects of Confucius, the thoughts in Mencius are more complicated and radical.

Mencius was lucky, because in his time, the power of Confucianism was far greater than that of Confucius, and he was treated much better than Confucius.

Mencius was also unfortunate. The Warring States period was far more chaotic than the spring and Autumn period. In addition to Confucianism, various forces took advantage of the situation.

The Analects of Confucius mainly talks with his disciples. Although he talks with Wang Gongtong, such as Duke AI of Lu, Duke Ding of Lu, Duke Jing of Qi, Duke Ling of Wei, etc., the content is not much and the space is limited.

There is quite a lot of space in Mencius for various kings and princes to ask Mencius for advice on how to govern the country, such as Duke Lu Ping, Duke Qi Xuan, Duke Teng Wen, etc. the first sentence of Mencius is "Mencius sees King Liang Hui". There are even many words of face-to-face criticism and contradicting princes in the book, which is rare in Lun Yu.

Although this shows that Confucianism was more respected by princes at that time and that Confucius and Mencius had different personalities, it also shows that Mencius had a stronger desire to publicize his political ideas. He didn't give up until he failed repeatedly and began to concentrate on teaching and educating people.

Confucius once stepped up to the important position of the state of Lu step by step from a small official. Therefore, although he spoke of benevolence and righteousness and also talked about political affairs, he was very restrained, treated himself as a minister in front of the princes, and traveled around the countries to spread his ideas.

But Mencius was different. He did not have the rich political experience like Confucius. Although he talked about political affairs, he regarded himself as a teacher in front of the monarch. He also traveled around the world, but he was more like an imperial teacher to promote his ideas.

One dissemination, one promotion, naturally different.

When writing Mencius' new notes, Fang Yun's attitude was different from that of the Analects of Confucius.

When writing the new notes to the Analects of Confucius, Fang Yun almost gave everything he had, said everything he knew and said everything.

However, when writing Mencius new notes, Fang Yun had reservations, especially when it came to political content.

Fang Yun praised all Mencius's political thoughts, especially in people-oriented thoughts. Fang Yun's free translation is often lengthy, and the emphasis is far more important than the other three books. However, Fang Yun has mostly mentioned the specific laws related to politics. He will not be sure, but he will not deny them. Even the two big demon kings can see that Fang Yun is deliberately avoiding them.

The rat king once asked why, and Fang Yun replied with a smile.

"Meng Sheng's words are reasonable and his actions are unclear. It's not as far away as miscellaneous families."

The rat king and the wolf king nodded gently. The origin of the miscellaneous family was LV Buwei. In terms of political means, ten Mencius were not as good as one LV Buwei.

However, the rat King keenly found that "what he said is reasonable and what he did is unclear". In ugly words, Mencius's idea is right, but it is difficult to implement it. In other words, Mencius failed to find a correct and effective way for his thought. To be more serious, it can be said that Fang Yun was wrong in criticizing Mencius's political ways.

The writing methods of the new notes of the Analects of Confucius and the new notes of Mencius are very different. The king of rat survival and the king of wolf yuan have no results after communicating for a long time. If you ask Fang Yun for the reason.

"After being buried in the holy Valley, it will be known." Fang Yun said.

The two demons are very disappointed, but they are also full of expectations for the future.

The rat king asked again, "I don't know why you just extracted the University and the doctrine of the mean from the book of rites. It's unprecedented to treat them so solemnly."

Fang Yun said: "the book of rites is complicated and beautiful. The University and the doctrine of the mean are like mud, sand and gold. They are also the works of Zeng Zi and Zi Sizi respectively. They are the second saints together with Meng Sheng. You can't let the Pearl dust."

"In this way, do students study the doctrine of the mean or the rite?" asked the rat King sincerely.

"If you are below Jinshi, you should study the University and the golden mean. If you are above Jinshi, you can choose one of the five classics." Fang Yun said.

The rat King realized suddenly and said, "my Confucian disciples have different talents. Poems, books, rites, changes and spring and autumn are too profound. They often get something by reading a few poor scriptures. University, the doctrine of the mean, Mencius and the Analects of Confucius" Compared with the five classics, it is easy to understand. If you concentrate on the study, you can achieve success in a few years. In this way, my Confucian disciples can grow rapidly in the early stage, so as not to waste the literary and musical starlight. "

"Good." Fang Yun nodded and praised.
