Spring and Autumn I Am King

After Xiang Lu and the two boys from Gongshu Ban gradually moved away, Zhao Wuxi was still staring at the alley in a daze. www.geiliwx.com

"Xiang Lu is just that. Except for the name of a child prodigy and Confucius, he has never left any deeds. They are all made up by later generations, but the Gongshu class is different..."

If it weren't for the situation of the same name and the same family, then this Gongshu class who behaved a little dull should be the Luban of later generations. Xiaogongshuban is also seven years old this year. He is the son of Zhenggongshu, a craftsman. He also belongs to the Chinese class, not a Lu craftsman who has no freedom.

However, he seems to be very interested in these ingenious things. The bamboo horses in the hands of the two were made by himself, and he also used the wheel and pottery wheel to describe the sun at different times.

Gongshuban was recognized by Baigong as the grandfather in later generations. He was extremely ingenious. The grinding wheel was his creation, but now Zhao Wuxi has taken away the right of invention. Gongshuban brought craftsmanship to its peak in the pre-Qin era, many of which were military equipment for siege battles, and only the Mo family could beat him. I wonder if Mozi would be born or not.

Therefore, compared to Xiang Lu, whose future is unknown, Zhao Wuxi wanted to cultivate the potential stock of Little Luban. In that way, the various ingenious things he remembered in his previous life might be able to be created by Gongshuban.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxi first sent two clever soldiers to **** them back, and instructed to write down the addresses of the two, and then monitor and protect them, waiting for follow-up orders.

Now, Zhao Wuxi had to face Confucius' master and apprentice first. For this side, he had already made up his mind to help the early Confucians "set his bones", and he had other plans.

...

After meeting on the street, Zhao Wuxi and Confucius were invited by Liu Xiaji to their home.

Although Liu Xiaji is not a high-ranking man, he is a doctor from a public family. The gate of the courtyard is a hanging hilltop. The main ridge is towering, slope-like on both sides, and the eaves extend outside. A tile covered with cirrus patterns.

A group of people got off the car and entered the courtyard gate and walked along the stone road, which is very wide. Going all the way to the middle door, after entering, there is a pavilion garden.

As a famous scholar in the state of Lu, Liu Xiaji's pavilion and garden were carefully managed.

After entering the park, there is a loft on the right, which is three-storey high, steep and steep, and the four corners of the roof are raised. A seabird is decorated at each end of the uppermost roof ridge, making it opposite. The building was painted snow white with clam ash, and the doors and windows were painted red.

There are stairs downstairs leading to the building. There are balconies on each floor. When the weather is good, you can stand on the top and lean on the railings and watch the scenery. When it rains or snows, because the waist eaves on the balconies are protruded, they can shelter from the wind and rain. There is a built-in couch. You can also gather three or five friends to drink at the stove.

The sun was just in the west, and it was still early for food, so Liu Xiaji invited them to sit here.

Wu Xie looked out of the open casement, but saw bamboo trees surrounded by flowers. Fall now. The flowers are more withered, and the bamboos are few and sparse. But it is patchwork, some bamboo leaves are still glowing green, and some have turned yellow.

When he looked back, he saw that the tall Confucius was sitting opposite him, and Yan Hui was sitting beside him, all of them upright and upright.

Zi Lu was arranged by Confucius to drive back to Guanyi first, and at the same time went to find Zai Yu, a Confucian disciple who was still in Qufu, and others.

Confucius gave Zhao Wuxi a respectful salute. Once again, he expressed his gratitude to Zhongdu for the donation of food and the act of clearing his doubts. His voice was gentle and humble: "Qiu Zengyan. If you are three people, you must have my teacher. That's true today. Thank you Dr. Zhao for his teaching, which made Qiu understand again. One thing, the doctor has a lot of experience in astronomy!"

The origin of astronomy in ancient China is very early. As early as the time of Tang Yao, "it was ordered to Xihe, admire the sky, the calendar resembles the sun, the moon and the stars, and the time for the people is respected." It was established to determine the four seasons and solar terms. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Tian Tian gradually separated from Wu Zhu and became the official official position of the emperor and princes.

The method of viewing the sun is naturally included, and Confucius subconsciously felt that Zhao Wuxi should have studied this aspect.

After listening to Confucius' words, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but move in his heart and blurted out:

"It's just a fluke. Wu Xie has only one advantage. When I see something I don't understand, I like to think deeply. The ancestors of the Zhao family admired the sun, and the family owner has been compared to the sun many times, so I observed it when I was young. With some thought and insight.”

This explanation is reasonable and reasonable. The Ying family started from Shaohao, and they liked to look up and chase the sun. The Zhao family also embroidered her on the flag. It is also very common to have a descendant who sees the sun and realizes the Tao. Everyone believes it.

Wu Xie's voice changed: "However, what I just said was only a simple point of view, and there is no way to prove right or wrong. If someone can measure the distance between the sun and the earth, then this mystery can be completely solved."

"The distance between the sun and the earth!?"

Not only Confucius and Yan Hui were stunned, but Liu Xiaji, who was sitting on the head, was also startled.

The sun, it seems to be the eye of the emperor, a divine object that surpasses all things, how can it be measured by human beings?

Confucius said: "The Book of Changes says that the dharma images are as great as the heaven and the earth, the changes are as great as the four seasons, and the famous suspended phases are as great as the sun and the moon. When Qiu Nian was young, he studied astronomy and geography with the doctor of the Zhou family, Chang Hong, and he was also curious about how long the day was. It’s so far away, how high the sky is, but I never thought of actually measuring their distance, what the doctor said is really thought-provoking.”

As a believer of Zichan's "The way of heaven is far away, and the way of humanity is close to it", and a deist who "respects ghosts and gods and keeps them far away", Confucius did not regard the sun as sacred, but he did not regard it as something sacred and unpredictable. doctrine.

On the contrary, Yan Yuan, who was extremely curious, asked with bright eyes: "Zigong once said that the doctor had a number of officials and famous overseas Chinese when he was in the Jin state. Have you reached the realm of latitude and longitude that the sky can rise without steps, and the earth can’t be measured without being measured?”

Zhao Wuxi turned his eyes to Yan Hui. He knew that this young man in his twenties with straight eyebrows and a simple and amiable expression was the only disciple of Confucius who had entered the house.

Zhao Wuxi thought that Zigong, who was already extremely intelligent, once reluctantly called it "Hui also hears one to know ten, and he also hears one to know two." It is terrifying to hear one and know ten, and even Confucius said to Zigong: "If you are like a person, I and you are like a person." Admit that he is not even better than Yan Hui.

In short, he is a scholar-tyrant, and now he is the most promising successor to the study of Confucius. It is said that he has been involved in astronomy and geography, and is characterized by studious and intelligence. No matter what, I like to put it in my head. But because he is a low-key person, he does not show anything, and he does not intend to govern. He devoted himself to serving Confucius and researching knowledge.

There was curiosity in Yan Hui's eyes, he had already been attracted by Zhao Wuxi's remarks.

Wu Xie replied: "Not yet, but Wu Xie believes that if someone can continue to carry forward this way, it will be realized sooner or later!"

Faced with Zhao Wushi's proposal to measure the distance between the sun and the earth, Yan Hui showed great interest, but Confucius had other thoughts.

He smiled and said: "When the late monarch Zhaogong, Qiu was once given a carriage, two horses, and a vertical servant by the late monarch. He was accompanied by Meng's concubine Kuo, and he went to Zhou's house to ask for the ceremony. I met Lao Tzu in Zhou's house. , I asked him for education and advice, and when I was about to leave, Laozi said to me like this..."

"Wisdom, understanding, and insight into everything will lead to death. Bo Qia's eloquence and broadness will endanger him. Doctor Zi Tai wants to know the world and see everything. What do you think of Lao Tzu's words?"

This is not Confucius' own point of view, but a paraphrase of Laozi's point of view.

Zhao Wu Xie shook his head and said, "I have avoided the world. He is like the sons of the Lone Bamboo Country, Boyi, Shu Qi, and Confucius' disciple Zi Xi. He is a scoundrel. Advocate for the great Yin, the great ignorance."

"Of course, Dr. Zitai can be said to know Laozi as a person. Birds, I know they can fly; fish, I know they can swim; beasts, I know they can walk. Those who can run can be caught with a net, and those who can swim can be caught. Fishing with silk lines, those who can fly can be shot with arrows. As for the dragon, I have no way of knowing its whereabouts and traversing the wind and clouds, and I have no way of figuring it out. Lao Tzu’s knowledge and conduct are like a dragon entering the clouds.”

"If that's the case, then Confucius thought. How many dragons can there be in this world? Lao Tzu's deeds and practices cannot be imitated by ordinary people. Most people still need birds, fish, and beasts who worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so Lao Tzu's statement is not fully approved by the boy. The things in this world are like today's two children arguing about the sun. The more they argue, the more clear they become. They are not something that can be avoided by being foolish enough to understand. I think that in a hundred and a thousand years, not only will the distance between the sun and the earth be measurable, but the sky will be huge. The breadth of the land, the depth of the sea, the source of the river, why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and why people are born, old, sick, and die, will one day be known. All these, I call them..."

"The way to know things!"

"Looking at things to know?" Everyone was awe-inspiring, waiting for Zhao Wuxi to explain this profound-sounding word.

On the balcony in the attic, Zhao Wuxi spoke eloquently to Confucius, Yan Hui, and Liu Xiaji:

"Life is alive, as the spiritual leader of all things, you should naturally know the origin and the end of all things, so that you can use it to benefit all people. Let Wu Xie make an analogy. In ancient times, the Sui people looked up at the stars and looked down at the five trees to create fire. This is the Inquiry into knowledge.”

"After that, Bao Xi, as the king of the world, looked up at the sky, and looked down at the earth. He looked at the patterns of birds and beasts and the water potential of mountains, or he took the law from himself, or comprehended everything, so he began to create gossip, It is used to understand the morality of heaven and earth, and it is used to express the condition of all things.

"Hundreds of years after the death of Bao Xi, the Shennong clan arose. He tasted all kinds of herbs and observed the growth characteristics of all things~www.wuxiahere.com~ So he chopped wood for scorpion, kneaded wood into scorpion, and created many utensils to teach the people how to cultivate. And weeding, so that the world will increase the food, this is still a matter of knowledge."

Zhao Wuxi's remarks were progressive and logical, and they also catered to the habit of Confucius and his disciples who liked the sage king of ancient times, and were extremely persuasive.

So he finally said unequivocally: "So, in addition to understanding the growth, prosperity, and decline of all things, you can also know the source of ritual and music, and understand the essence of morality!"

"Good! It's wonderful to know how to judge things today!" After Wu Xie's remarks, Confucius was silent for a while, and then he first made a sound of approval. (To be continued)
