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.
...Countless eyes turned to Cui Xian, the young man in red on the stage, some with worry and anxiety, some with ill intentions.
This was the first debate in which the 'little prodigy' fulfilled his five-year promise.
At the beginning, the shocking scene of 'Jia Shao and Cui Xian merging into one' was staged.
Thousands of people from Kaifeng came to watch.
The whole Daliang was paying attention to this grand debate event.
If you lose the first game -
Then, wouldn't it be a big shit in public? !
Even Chen Chong herself narrowed her eyes and looked at Cui Xian.
He certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to think that Donglai's disciple was a mediocre person.
But Chen Chong felt that her debate just now was very easy.
Without some hard thinking, you will definitely not be able to answer it!
But why should I take it?
Amid shock and amazement from all sides.
Cui Xian looked at Chen Chong calmly and said without thinking, "Mr. Chen, what you said is wrong. The Analects of Confucius, Yang Hu, records that Confucius taught Bo Yu to 'learn Zhou Nan and Zhao Nan'. Did he ask him to recite the preface?"
"Also, in Mencius, Li Lou Xia, it is said that 'the traces of the kings died out and the Book of Songs was lost'. In Han Shu, Yiwenzhi, it is explained that 'the traces died out' means that the officials who collected poems were abolished. If the order of poetry was the will of heaven, why didn't the sages pass it on?"
These words had just fallen.
Chen Chong's face suddenly froze, full of shock.
On the second floor of the teahouse facing the street, cheers and applause from Su Qi, Meng Shen and others were heard immediately!
then.
Most of the scholars who were watching the scene only then reacted. They looked up at Cui Xian on the stage in amazement, and felt a thrilling sense of excitement as if their minds had suddenly been opened.
It turns out that you can argue like this?
Confucius did not recite the preface.
Mencius on collecting poetry.
Ban Gu examination system.
Cui Xian completely rejected Chen Chong's "accusatory remarks".
And in a short period of time, he used three heavyweight figures, Confucius, Mencius and Ban Gu, to attack the sacredness of the Mao Shi Xu from different angles.
The best part is!
The Analects is the original sacred teaching of Confucianism, and the Book of Han is a historical book highly regarded by the ancient text classics school.
Using the authority that the other party recognizes the most to attack the other party is really heartbreaking!
At the end of the debate, Cui Xian also questioned the other party: If the preface is the will of heaven, why didn’t the sage pass it on?
It was this sentence that made Chen Chong's expression stiff and shocked the readers present so much that their scalps went numb.
Because this seemingly simple rhetorical question is an absolute dilemma!
No matter how you answer, it’s wrong!
Either admit that the preface is unnecessary, in which case the sacredness of "The Preface to the Mao Shi" collapses, the sage did not pass it down, the preface is not the will of heaven, and it can be deleted!
After the deletion of "Maoshixu", the ancient text classics school was completely wiped out!
Or you insist that the sequence must be passed down, which is even more serious - because you are accusing Confucius of dereliction of duty!
The saints did not pass on the teachings. Is it because you are stupid? Or is it because you are lazy? In short, you are blaspheming the saints!
Does this method of "labeling" look familiar to you?
Use the enemy's method to kill the enemy!
This question left the great scholar Chen Chong speechless on the spot!
The man's words just now, "young people are arrogant", were still echoing in everyone's ears.
In the blink of an eye, he couldn't even last a single round at the hands of Cui Xian!
Seeing that Chen Chong did not speak, Cui Xian raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "If the order is the will of heaven, why didn't the saints pass it on? Answer me!"
Faced with such questioning.
Chen Chong took a deep breath and finally came to her senses.
He also chose to avoid talking about the "hat speech", arguing: "The preface to the biography was made up in the Han Dynasty! The "Spring and Autumn Wei·Shuo Ti Ci" says that "poetry is the heart of heaven and earth". How can we understand the heart of heaven without a preface?"
Mr. Donglai sneered.
This old guy fell into the trap!
Because Cui Xian was forcing him to publicly admit that the preface was "Buque"!
Since it is just to make up for the deficiencies, how can it be sacred?
really.
Almost at the moment when Chen Chong finished speaking.
The young man in red on the stage sneered.
Then he flicked his sleeves and pointed at Chen Chong, his whole body was particularly unbridled: "The Book of Changes says: Books cannot express all words, and words cannot express all meanings!"
"The Book of History: Shun Dian says: Poetry expresses one's will!
"Zuo Zhuan, Xiang 27th year, Zhao Wenzi, 'Poetry is used to express one's will' - the threefold teachings are clear: the will is in the heart, not in the preface!"
"You are using the writings of Han Confucian scholars to make up for deficiencies and suppress the teachings of the Three Dynasties' sage kings, is that right?!"
This is another combination of the triple hadith and a question similar to the 'prisoner's dilemma'!
The distinction between words and meanings in the Book of Changes.
The origin of the creation of "Book".
Historical examples from Zuo Zhuan.
Finally, add a final word -
Is it right for you to use the writings of Han Confucian scholars to suppress the teachings of the Three Dynasties' sage kings?
If one admits to "filling in the gaps", it means that one admits that "Maoshixu" is not the original sacred learning and that Zixia's lineage is broken.
If one denies the "filling of deficiencies", it is tantamount to declaring that the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty are superior to the three generations of sage kings, committing the crime of "overstepping the will of heaven"!
In short, no matter how you answer, you will end up in a dead end!
These two short rounds of fighting are enough to be regarded as a model of decisive victory in Confucian classics debate!
Cui Xian downgraded the "preface" from a "tool for interpreting scriptures" to a "text to supplement the deficiencies", and at the same time deified the "three generations of holy kings".
To put it simply, it is to label the opponents of "tradition" as "anti-traditional".
What old pedants of the ancient classics school, traditional conservatives.
Now, I declare that you are an anti-traditional radical!
Chen Chong was confused.
Facing Cui Xian's decisive question, for a moment, he even doubted himself -
Isn’t he a member of the ancient text classics school?
But soon, he realized that he was set up!
It’s still a dead end!
He stood on the debate platform, looking at Cui Xian, who was too young, and opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute him.
Because there is no room for argument!
In the audience.
The people haven't reacted yet.
But many readers were so shocked that they were completely speechless after seeing Chen Chong being defeated in two rounds, with a depressed look and no longer having the slightest bit of her previous defiance.
Chen Chong, a famous literary figure for many years.
Two rounds.
defeat!
