Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1638 What is the foundation of the scriptures?

When Pang Tong heard about Xu Yue, he was also excited. He rubbed his hands repeatedly as if he had seen something delicious, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing! If this book is completed, all farmers in the world will benefit from the Lord's favor." also!"

Fei Qian smiled and nodded.

Pang Tong smiled, but quickly glanced at Fei Qian, and something seemed to flash in his eyes.

Fei Qian didn't notice, he just looked down at the various important documents delivered from all levels, and suddenly pointed to one of them and said: "Qinglong Temple lacks beam wood? Wait for it to be transferred from Sichuan?"

Pang Tong reached out to take the document, glanced at it, and explained: "What I know about this... is that there is a shortage of beams in the main palace... Chang'an City originally had some beams in reserve, but are these... of the right length? , slightly damaged and unusable, and the remaining ones are basically smaller...and I couldn’t find suitable ones nearby, so I wanted to let Sichuan and Shu people see if they had any..."

"Transporting giant trees and beams from Sichuan and Sichuan?" Fei Qian pinched the beard above his chin and pondered.

Pang Tong nodded, somewhat unconcerned. Because not only the Han Dynasty, but also the Qin Dynasty did this. After all, there have been human activities in Guanzhong since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Palaces, cities, etc. were constantly built, and all the better giant trees around the Qinling Mountains were basically cut down. If we talk about fish that slipped through the net, there must be some leftover, but these must be in places that are quite difficult to find, or in cliffs, where it is impossible to cut down at all.

Therefore, once a palace was built, it became a routine to mobilize giant trees from Sichuan, Sichuan or surrounding areas.

"This matter will be postponed for now..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Daliang... I want Ling Ming to try a new method first..."

Since the establishment of the workshop in Binh Duong, Fei Qian has been constantly trying building materials similar to cement concrete. However, most of them were used on walls before and were not load-bearing beams. The quality was not very satisfactory at first, but after experience After so many updates and experiments, Fei Qian also wants to see if new materials can replace the old wooden frames and reduce the loss of trees, especially huge trees like main beams. It does not mean that they can grow in ten or eight years. It even takes hundreds of years to complete, and it is indeed a pity to cut it down once it is cut down.

"This..." Pang Tong hesitated.

Fei Qian knew what Pang Tong was hesitating about, so he said: "If the existing main beams can be used to build side halls, build them first... Put the main hall at the back and try it first... If it really doesn't work, then change it to side halls." It’s the main hall, it’s just a Qinglong Temple anyway…”

Pang Tong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I will comply with the wishes of my lord..."

When it came to Qinglong Temple, the topic couldn't help but turn to the study of Confucian classics. Fei Qian and Pang Tong started chatting sentence by sentence while reviewing the writing.

To conduct a discussion, naturally there must be a moderator. This moderator is not like the kind from later generations, who just make an introduction and then let the big guys fight among themselves. Instead, they must have some background, otherwise what will the big guys say? , the host always looks confused, doesn’t he lose his own face?

However, it is obvious that the position of host cannot be easily given to outsiders, otherwise any problems will arise on the spot and it will not end well, so one must first choose from within one's own faction.

"Although "Poetry" is not established in the academy, it has been widely circulated..." Pang Tong gathered up the manuscripts he had just approved and put them aside. He took a new volume and spread it out, looking up and down. He continued, "Poetry originally fell into three schools, but now that Mao Shi is flourishing, all three schools are in decline. Among them, Qi Shi is at the bottom of the list, and is only a few..."

"Qi Shi..." Fei Qian also said, "Success comes from yin and yang, failure comes from the five elements... Today's decline is also reasonable..."

Pang Tong laughed and nodded.

"Qi Shi" was passed down by Yuan Gu, a native of Qi. However, "Qi Shi" divided into several factions during the inheritance process, the most prominent of which was the Yi Feng faction. Their most notable feature was that they interpreted the "Shi" Combined with the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, using Yin-Yang and Five Elements to express the words in the Book of Songs is indeed somewhat absurd from a historical perspective, but it truly reflects the trajectory of Confucian scholars pursuing power, fame, and fortune.

The achievement of Qi Shi lies in the aspect of Yin Yang and Five Elements, but its decline is also due to this. Although at the beginning, the evolution direction of Qi Shi was generally consistent with the trend of officialization of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, and it became the most effective pass for Confucian scholars to enter official careers. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many people who became high-ranking officials through the treatment of "Qi Shi", but Because in the process of dissemination of "Qi Shi", the chapters and sentences have become increasingly complicated, and superstitious elements such as yin and yang prophecies have also increased day by day, resulting in huge problems in the inheritance. It has lost its original academic real value and has become completely idealistic. , was gradually not accepted by others. Therefore, in the inheritance process of the three poems of "Qi Shi", "Lu Shi" and "Han Shi", Qi Shi was the first to decline.

"Fu family..." Fei Qian shook his head and said, "Without the death of his lord, there would be no Qi Shi..."

At present, the most famous heirs of Qi Shi are the Fu Wan family. However, since the decline of Fu Wan's family, there is only one young Fu Dian left. He must not be able to stir up the whole family of Qi Shi. After that, Qi Shi was regarded as a peerless poet.

Pang Tong nodded, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said: "This Qinglong Temple meeting, Qi Shi... Mao's poems are the most popular at the moment... By the way, Liang Dao is good at poetry, so he might as well..."

"Liang Dao?" Fei Qian also stopped writing and asked, "Let Liang Dao hold poetry theory?"

Pang Tong said: "Liang Taoism was passed down to Jiujiang Xie Ye from his father..." Jiujiang Xie Manqing was good at speaking "Mao's Poems" and gave exegesis of "Mao's Poems". Jia Qu's ancestors also learned from Jiujiang Xie Manqing. Poetry, so it can be considered to be inherited in an orderly manner and somewhat follow-up.

"Thank you, Jiujiang..." Fei Qian said, "Forget it, let's write to Liang Dao to inform him of the matter and make more preparations... This "Book"..."

When Pang Tong saw Fei Qian looking over, he waved his hands and said: "Shu, I can't do it... If Lu Ziqian is still there... Also, I wonder if Youruo is good at it?" Among the people in the Eastern Han Dynasty who were good at "Shu" since Ouyang , then spread out and became a battlefield for multiple companies to compete for superiority. Pang Tong said that he was not good at reading. It did not mean that Pang Tong did not know the scriptures in the book, but that he did not have the skills in this area.

In comparison, Xun's family is more famous. After all, Xun Shuang published a book called "Shang Shu Zheng Jing", which is widely circulated. It can be said that he is quite accomplished in "Book". It can be said that Xun Shuang's descendants came forward to preside over the discussion of "Shu".

"If you hold the theory of the Book of Changes..." Fei Qian pondered, feeling a little headache, "What about the Book of Changes? Are you good at the Book of Changes, Shiyuan?" Xun was also good at the Book of Changes. At the time of Yingchuan, Xun held a special public class on the Book of Changes.

"Yi? Wenyou...uh...this..." Pang Tong said subconsciously, but after he said it, he felt something was wrong, so he stopped and got stuck.

Li Ru is good at Yi, but the problem is that he cannot be allowed to appear in such a situation.

Li Ru can serve under Fei Qian. Even if others find out, he will turn a blind eye and won't say anything. Although it is said that the executor who poisoned the deposed emperor was Li Ru, but Just like many temporary workers in later generations, someone always has to do the dirty work. Can this blame be placed on the temporary workers? Will they seize and stalk the temporary workers until the temporary workers are ruined and their families are ruined?

However, such a thing cannot be put on the surface, so Pang Tong reacted after subconsciously speaking.

Fei Qian and Pang Tong were both a little worried. After screening the people in their hands, there seemed to be nothing suitable...

Speaking of which, Cao Cao was also good at "Yi", and then I heard that Liu Biao also did some research on "Yi". Unfortunately, these two people would definitely not be willing to participate in the so-called Qinglong Jingluo thing here by Fei Qian.

"Let's put this aside for the time being..." Fei Qian glanced at Pang Yi and said, "Shiyuan, your poems were given to Liang Dao, your books, recommended to friends, and Yi, you don't understand, why not? Are you going to host the "Ritual"?"

"This "Etiquette"..." Pang Tong smiled awkwardly, "I do think...but, haha...how about this..."Spring and Autumn" I will do it?"

"Are you going to host "Spring and Autumn"?" Fei Qian pondered for a moment and nodded, "...that's fine..."

Among the Five Classics, the one Fei Qian is most familiar with is Spring and Autumn. After all, this is Fei Qian's original scripture.

The Spring and Autumn Period has received great attention during the Western Han Dynasty. "Gongyang Zhuan" and "Gu Liang Zhuan" are both official doctoral studies, while "Zuo Zhuan" is an extensive private study, and both have been passed down. Through teaching, different schools of teachings were formed.

However, due to Wang Mang's turmoil at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the entire Spring and Autumn Period inheritance system was greatly damaged. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the restoration of Emperor Ming and Zhang, the "Spring and Autumn Period" was re-established.

"But you have to say what's important in this Spring and Autumn period..." Fei Qian examined Pang Tong, "If it's good, I'll let you take charge. If it's not good, haha..."

Pang Tong naturally learned from Pang Degong's school, and Pang Degong was from the Huang family. He was naturally familiar with books like "Spring and Autumn" and would not have any problems because of it.

"The Spring and Autumn Period naturally focuses on history... This is not difficult... but..." Pang Tong said, "What is the basis of the three Chun Qiu Biography?"

"What's the basis?" Fei Qian frowned.

In fact, at the beginning, there were also three legends in Spring and Autumn. The text of "Spring and Autumn" was too simple and difficult for later generations to understand, so exegesis works appeared one after another to explain and explain the records in the book, which were called "biography". Among them, Zuo Qiuming's "Chun Qiu Zuo Shi Zhuan", Gong Yanggao's "Chun Qiu Gong Yang Zhuan", and Gu Liangchi's "Chun Qiu Gu Liang Zhuan" are collectively called "Three Biography of Spring and Autumn".

When Emperor Guangwu was preparing to reinstate the Ph.D. in Confucian classics, during a discussion in Yuntai, Fan Sheng, a Ph.D. in "Liangqiu Yi", said, "The Zuo family is not from Confucius, but from Qiu Ming. It was passed down from master to disciple, and there is no other "It is not a human being, and it is not the existence of the late emperor, so there is no reason why it can be established." He also listed fourteen things that were wrong in "Zuo Zhuan" and thirty-one things that were "unrecordable" to refute Zuo Zhuan.

At that time, Chen Yuan, a great scholar in Zuo's biography, said in a tit-for-tat Shangshu that Zuo Qiuming "accepted Confucius personally, while Gongyang Guliang heard about it in later generations", which was not unrelated. Secondly, Dr. Fan Sheng said, "Both of them cut off the Xiaowen. , I use the slight difference in age to criticize it as a big fallacy, and leave out the smallest details as a big mistake. I pick out the flaws and exaggerate them to cover up the beauty. The so-called 'small arguments ruin the words, small words undermine the truth'..." , that is to say, the deviation in year, month and time cannot cover up Zuo Zhuan's literary excellence.

This issue caused controversy, which led to the fact that Zuo Zhuan did not establish a doctor at the time of Guangwu's reign.

Later, when Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty held a meeting on the White Tiger Temple, he said that "Zuo Zhuan" "invented and benefited a lot from the Spring and Autumn Annals", but in the end when Ban Gu wrote "White Tiger Tongyi", he still hesitated. Wherever "Spring and Autumn" is involved, most of them adopt the meaning of "Gongyang Zhuan", occasionally adopt the theory of "Gu Liang", and never use the meaning of "Zuo Zhuan", which ultimately leads to the current weak study of "Zuo Zhuan"...

Therefore, what Pang Tong meant by asking was to ask Fei Qian if he wanted to take out "Zuo Zhuan" again...

And once Fei Qian expresses his intention to support "Zuo Zhuan", it will definitely lead to another bloody storm.

"Tuk duk, duk duk..." Fei Qian thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the table like a woodpecker, and finally made up his mind, "Just follow Zuo Zhuan!"

Anyway, isn’t this Qinglong Temple scripture discussion just to cause trouble?

One sheep is driven like this, but ten sheep are still driven like this?

Completely muddy the water, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise...

"It's just..." Fei Qian said again, "You can't come forward in this matter... Just find someone to pick it out, and you will be responsible for presiding over it..."

"So..." Pang Tong raised his head and thought for a while, then moved closer to Fei Qian and whispered, "I have thought of something... what do you think... my lord..."

"Well..." Fei Qian also nodded, "This person is quite good... However, he may not be willing..."

Pang Tong laughed twice and said, "Please don't worry, my lord... I have my own way..."

Fei Qian glanced at Pang Yi, thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll leave it to you..."

Now, among the Five Classics, I only have three suitable candidates, and there are still vacancies in "Yi" and "Li"...

Fei Qian was thinking about it, and suddenly thought of someone, and whispered: "Is this "ritual"? I also thought of someone..."

Pang Tong's eyes widened after hearing this. He originally thought that doing Zuo Zhuan was a big enough matter, but he didn't expect Fei Qian to create a bigger scene. If this person really came forward to preside over the discussion on "Li" , I’m afraid it can’t be described as windy and rainy, at least it’s at the level of stormy seas…
