The handle of this fan is carved from white jade, and the fan body is made of furry animal tails. It has a flat and round bottom, a narrow and long front, and a long tail with soft, snow-white hair on the top.
"No!" the student sitting across from him retorted loudly, "Talents and personalities vary! Talented people may not necessarily be virtuous, and virtuous people may not necessarily be talented!"
The young man holding the feather fan waved it forward, and the elastic white hairs on the fan tip swayed:
"Where does talent come from? Intelligence is gifted by nature, and learning is acquired naturally."
"The Book of Changes says: 'Heaven's movement is vigorous, and the gentleman strives to improve himself constantly.'"
"Although talent and nature have different names, they are nothing more than conforming to the laws of nature. Talent without virtue is not talent at all!"
"No!" another person retorted, "Talent and nature are compatible!"
"People are born with different energies and have different natural endowments, so there are differences in wisdom and stupidity, good and evil."
"Although talent doesn't necessarily mean virtue, and virtue doesn't necessarily mean talent, 'The Way of the University is to manifest the bright virtue.' What you mean by a gentleman constantly striving for self-improvement is precisely the gentleman's cultivation of virtue, which brings talent and nature together."
The young man holding the fan interjected, "Humanity is the way of Heaven. Acting against Heaven, having talent but no virtue, and doing no good to the world, is not worthy of being called talent. Therefore, talent and nature are one and the same!"
“…”
Is this another distinction between talent and nature?
Is it any use to keep talking about the same old things? It would be better to do something practical.
It's meaningless.
Qin Yuan shook his head and sat in the corner sipping tea leisurely.
The distinction between talent and nature.
Talent means ability.
Sex, nature, that is, morality.
This debate is doomed to be fruitless and meaningless.
Looking back over three thousand years of history, there are many people who have left their names in history.
However, there are very few people who are both talented and virtuous, and one can even count them on one hand.
The vast majority of people have talent but no morals. Whether they are loyal or treacherous after death depends entirely on the environment they are in.
If the ruler is wise, he will be a capable minister in governing the country.
If the ruler is weak, there will be treacherous ministers who will bully him.
As for those who have virtue but no talent, to be honest, even their bones are gone, so how can they leave a name behind?
So to speak.
Spending all day here talking and debating is meaningless and devoid of any nutrition. It's a waste of life.
Qin Yuan was very disgusted.
If Chen Wujiu and Wei Wuyin hadn't blocked him at the government office door right after work, dragging him here, one on each side...
He would never participate in this kind of business-promoting gathering even if he was beaten to death!
It would be better to stay at home with my wife, close the door, and discuss life and philosophy.
well……
Every day feels like a year, and the pain is unbearable!
It’s strange that all these people are strangers and I have no impression of them at all.
Is my memory so bad?
It seems that I have lost a lot of weight these days. I have to find an old Chinese doctor to prescribe some medicine to replenish my body.
At this moment, he was huddled in a corner alone, thinking about random things, daydreaming, and counting the time waiting for the get out of class to end.
However!
The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, and trouble comes to the door.
"Hey! How boring it is for you, the top scholar, to drink alone here. How about playing with me?"
