In his previous life, Cui Xian was a PhD in Chinese Language and Literature from a prestigious university.
In this life, he has transmigrated into an impoverished family in ancient times.
...Cui Xian left by car.
It was quiet outside the Baofeng County Post Station.
Zhang Tingyu and others were still in shock, but they retained a bit of rationality and dared not make any sound.
I didn’t even dare to look at Su Qi.
Because Senior Brother Su lost!
Moreover, Jia Shao overturned the fact that Zixia wrote the "Preface to the Mao Book of Songs"!
Oh my god.
No one dared to think about which of these two things would cause a greater sensation in the Daliang literary world if it were to be spread out!
But there is no doubt that in these two events, Jia Shao is the absolute protagonist.
Jia Shao from Luoshan County, Xinyang Prefecture, is incredibly strong!
But how come I have never heard of such a powerful person before?
It's like it appeared out of nowhere!
Su Qi watched Jia Shao's carriage go away, his lips tightly pursed, but his eyes showed excitement and a strong desire to fight.
He hasn't encountered such a strong opponent for a long time!
It must be admitted that Su Qi underestimated the Daliang literary world.
For example, Jia Shao, who is temporarily superior to him.
This person, like him, doubted the authenticity of "Maoshixu" and gave a clear dialectical argument.
This matter seems complicated, but in fact it is not easy at all.
Because not everyone has the courage, guts, knowledge, ability and determination to overturn a book of sages that they have been studying since childhood!
I saw that the people around me who were reading were all in a daze.
Su Qi raised his chin and said, "What are you standing there for? Have you forgotten what I said? Write down everything that was said in the debate!"
"I did lose a game, but so what? From Baofeng Post Station to the Luoyang Flower Appreciation and Literature Festival, there is still a long way to go."
"It's still unknown who will win or lose!"
He finished saying this.
Zhang Tingyu and others quickly agreed, immersed in recalling the content of Cui Xian's debate, and began to copy it.
When you scholars were copying, your hands were shaking!
Because when they arrive in Luoyang, these manuscripts will surely shock countless readers.
No no no.
It's more than just shocking.
If there were a scholar majoring in the Book of Songs, after reading Cui Xian's manuscript, the sky would probably fall.
Stop studying and go home!
Among the readers present, there were a few young ones with confused expressions, as if they were crying but not quite.
How tragic it is!
Su Qi stood in front of the carriage and waited for a while.
Then he said to an attendant, "Take paper and pen, ride fast, and take notes of Jia Shao's debate and bring them back!"
"yes!"
The attendant received the order and set off on a fast horse.
The other side.
Cui Xian sat in the luxurious carriage, leisurely enjoying fruits and cakes, leaning against the window to look at the scenery outside.
He looks so relaxed and comfortable.
You know what, this really feels a bit like a 'travel on a whim'!
After eating and drinking.
As agreed, the driver stopped the car under the shade of a tree five miles away.
A servant of Su Qi's family came on horseback, and said respectfully, "Master Jia, my master asked me to record the content of your debate. Please speak."
After saying that.
The servant took out pen, ink, paper, and a small square table he carried with him, and pretended to listen.
At this moment, Cui Xian actually missed his cell phone.
Information exchange in ancient times was inconvenient!
Cui Xian thought about all these things and said with a smile, "The Analects says: Confucius commented that "Guanju" is pleasant but not lewd, and never mentioned the virtues of the empress and concubines."
"Nowadays people try to force the classics on couples and regard them as filial piety. Isn't that just cutting one's feet to fit the shoes and forcing things to happen?"
In the first round of debate, Cui Xian's starting point was the authenticity of the authorship of "Maoshixu".
This time, the point of entry he chose was: later generations over-politicized and misinterpreted the "Maoshixu".
This means:
The Analects records that when Confucius commented on "Guanju", he did not mention the virtue of the queen.
Nowadays people forcibly attribute the standardization of marital ethics and the achievement of filial piety to the "Preface to the Book of Songs", which is really ridiculous and far-fetched.
That’s right, Cui Xian ‘turned the table’ again!
He not only overturned the tables of the ancients with modern thinking and knowledge.
His left and right brains were fighting each other, and he even overturned his own desk!
Because when he first answered the question about "Guanju", he cited the "virtue of concubines" to answer it!
But the author's falsification is a small matter.
The claim that "Maoshixu" was overly politically distorted has been made. Once this has been finalized, literati from Daliang will have to avoid this part when writing eight-legged essays!
What a huge impact this would be, and what a terrible shock it would cause!
No surprise.
The attendant brought the content of Cui Xian's debate back to Baofeng County Post Station and read it aloud in public.
All the readers were more than just shocked.
My eyes went dark, my face trembled, my eyes were wide open, and my whole body was shaking.
Brother, are you too aggressive?
Are you going to revise the textbook?
After this debate, we should not have to re-learn the "Maoshixu"!
So scary!
Everyone looked at Su Qi, his face pale and his eyes pleading.
Senior Brother Su, please say something!
Obviously.
Su Qi was also stunned by this sharp question, but soon he blurted out a rebuttal: "The Book of Rites: Marriage says: The emperor governs the yang way, and the queen governs the yin virtue."
"The way of husband and wife is the foundation of the king's rule. The Book of History, Yao Dian says that one should be able to show his outstanding virtue, which is exactly what it means!"
However, after saying this, Su Qi himself froze.
Because his answer is completely different from Cui Xian's initial answer to "Guanju" yesterday!
Etiquette and law are above everything else.
So many times, everything can be solved with the theory of "ritual and law".
