Cui Xian did not stop.
Under the shocked gaze of countless people, he continued: "Answer 2: Bede's theory."
“The Master said: A wise man delights in water, a benevolent man delights in mountains.”
"The 雎玖 (a kind of 雎 bjiu) lives on a river island, choosing a clean place to live. This is a metaphor for a gentleman who chooses good and is persistent. The Book of Rites says: A gentleman compares virtue to jade."
"The song of the 雎雎 is pure and clear, just like the sound of jade and gold. Therefore, the Guanju is not about men and women, but actually shows the virtue of a gentleman who is cautious when alone."
"The Book of Changes says: Observe the patterns of birds and beasts and the suitability of the land. This is what it means."
"Do you have any objection to this answer?"
As the saying goes: There are three thousand great ways.
Five years of study, reading a wide range of books.
Cui Xian, who had been in silence for a long time, now had a easier understanding of the books of sages than before.
No matter what the problem is, he can give different answers from different angles!
After hearing Cui Xian's interpretation, the scholars in the post station had expressions of excitement, excitement, surprise, or sudden enlightenment on their faces.
It turns out that the question of Guanju can also be used to illustrate the gentleman's self-discipline?
So shocking!
So wonderful!
What made countless people present speechless was.
Senior Brother Su, who is famous throughout the world, has unparalleled talent and is arrogant because of his talent, turned pale and red in the face when facing Jia Shao's questioning.
Obviously, he was angry.
But unfortunately, in his anger he was just... uh, angry for a moment.
Finally, amid countless gasps, Senior Brother Su gritted his teeth and said, "No objection."
Wow!
Jia Shao's two consecutive answers left Senior Brother Su speechless.
The whole audience was silent, only shocked!
Cui Xian sneered and continued, "Answer three: Yin-Yang theory."
"The Book of Changes, Xian Gua, says: Heaven and earth interact and all things come into being."
"The harmony of the male and female 雎偶 is in line with the principle of the interaction between yin and yang. The Book of Rites says: Music is about unity, while ritual is about difference."
"Guanju" uses the zither, harp, bell and drum as ritual music, and the flowing water chestnuts represent the harmony of yin and yang."
"The Spring and Autumn Annals: Basic Meaning says: The three principles of the kingly way can be sought from heaven. The way of husband and wife is the way of heaven and earth. Therefore, Guanju is the first of the three hundred poems in the Book of Songs."
"Do you have any objection to this answer?"
The scholars in the post station all looked at Jia Shao.
His eyes were wide open, his face flushed, and he was completely speechless.
It’s not difficult to answer a question.
The difficulty is——
The same question, analyzed from different angles, gives completely contradictory, yet reasonable answers!
Plus the answer given by Jia Shao at the beginning.
And now there are three answers given on the spot, a total of four.
These four answers respectively quoted: "Preface to the Mao Shi", "Book of Rites·The Meaning of Marriage", "Book of History·The Canon of Yao", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Mencius", "The Book of Changes", "Book of Rites·The Meaning of Engagement", and "Book of Changes·Xici".
The scholars present here must have read these books and may even be able to recite them.
But who dares to say that they can do it so effortlessly?
This is no longer a simple mutual reference and dialectic between classics and history!
What a terrifying amount of reading, what a terrifying talent and knowledge, what a terrifying talent and perception, to be able to achieve this!
Not only the readers present.
Even the previously arrogant Senior Brother Su narrowed his eyes and looked at Jia Shao seriously.
This person is a character!
But why had he never heard of the name "Jia Shao" before?
It's like it appeared out of nowhere!
But I haven't heard of it, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that this person is indeed talented.
Therefore, Senior Brother Su put away the arrogance on his face and said simply, "No objection."
Obviously, this Senior Brother Su just looked down on every piece of trash equally.
And once he finds out that the other person is not a waste, he will give him due respect.
Next.
It was a scene that shocked Zhang Tingyu and countless scholars present to the point of tingling their scalps, and one they will never forget.
Jia Shao, who was originally unknown, stood there calmly. He was in high spirits and exuded the carefree and unrestrained spirit of a young man.
Jia Shao asked: "Answer four, the theory of education. The "Book of Learning" says: In establishing a country and governing the people, teaching comes first... Do you have any objection?"
Senior Brother Su: “No objection.”
Jia Shao asked: "Answer five, the theory of ethics. The Book of Changes says: There are heaven and earth, then there are all things, there are all things, then there are men and women, there are men and women, then there are couples... Do you have any objections?"
Senior Brother Su: “No objection.”
Cui Shao asked: "The answer is six..."
Then it took half a cup of tea.
Cui Xian gave ten answers, each of which was based on quotations from classics and extensive references.
At first, young scholars like Zhang Tingyu listened in shock.
But later, the more he listened, the paler his face became.
The more he listened, the more terrified he looked.
No, is that reasonable?
For this simple question, you can give ten completely different standard answers!
Have you put thousands of books in your head?
Even if I put thousands of books in my head, they wouldn't be as terrifying as you!
In the small Baofeng County post station.
Zhang Tingyu and dozens of scholars could not forget this scene for many years afterwards.
Before this, they firmly believed that diligence can make up for lack of talent.
But today, when I see the mountains and rivers separating us, and the fluorescent light facing the bright moon, I realize that some people are born standing on the clouds, overlooking the mediocre people in this world!
To put it in simple terms: They can't participate in this high-end game at all!
Cui Xian’s ten answers have been replied to.
Except for Senior Brother Su, all the other scholars in the audience were already stunned.
Only Senior Brother Su's words "No objection" kept echoing in the main hall.
Then, a scene that made everyone tremble even more happened!
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
