Chapter 340 Name Correction

Yunyao cooks delicious food every day, and then Confucius teaches her.

Confucius did not teach Yunyao how to govern the country. After all, women did not have the chance to govern the country. He only taught Yunyao about aesthetics, basically talking about the Book of Songs and music, and that's it. He did not think that women need to learn about governing the country and ensuring peace. Fortunately, Yunyao was indeed not interested in Confucius' political propositions, but she still hoped to listen to Confucius' talk about the Book of Changes.

After all, Confucius' philosophical thoughts were all in the "Book of Changes", so after listening to the Book of Songs and music for almost a year and finding that Confucius had no new content, Yunyao boldly suggested: "Teacher, I have memorized the content of the Book of Songs, and I know the principles of music. I also asked the Master to teach me the "Book of Changes". Yunyao had a lot of "Yi" in his belly, and a lot of "Liangshan Yi" in his homeland. Because the three bamboo slips in his human race, "Eight Trigrams", "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" have been eaten by Yunyao, and these three sets of bamboo slips belong to the category of "Yi", so I hope the Master will talk carefully.

When Zilu heard this, he felt that Yunyao was bragging, and Zigong frowned while beside him. Obviously, he thought Yunyao was too arrogant and wanted to learn Yi after just one year of entry. They hadn't learned it for decades.

Yan returned to the scene but had not learned it all. He was helping Confucius compile the "Book of Changes".

Confucius looked at Yunyao and remembered what he said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they are not inferior, and if they are far away, they are resentful." This year, he has given Yunyao a good look, so she dares to make requests now! This is to be close but not inferior, and if they are close, they are impolite, they do not follow the rules, and they have to make requests.

"The content of the Book of Songs is profound and profound. Just memorizing it is not enough, and it also needs to be understood." To learn and apply it vigorously, the Book of Songs is also an allusion, so the communication between cultural people is often "taken out of context", which means expressing their current situation through the Book of Songs.

For example, Confucius was trapped in Chen Cai before, so he used the poems in the Book of Songs to express his troubles.

In the future, there is "no fear of learning mathematics, physics and chemistry to travel all over the world", and in the Spring and Autumn Period, "no fear of learning the Book of Songs well and travel all over the world", and even in diplomatic occasions, the Book of Songs is used as diplomatic rhetoric.

"I understand, the Book of Songs is actually a summary of the things that people in the world do. Now we study the Book of Songs not only to learn history, but also to learn a norm. For example, there are chopsticks in Lu State and chopsticks in Chu State. If the people of Lu and Chu meet each other, one wants chopsticks and the other wants chopsticks. It is obviously a matter of the same thing but the chickens and ducks are spoken by the chickens and ducks. But if the Book of Songs is used as the standard, then it is not chopsticks but chopsticks." Yunyao found that Confucius and Zilu were stunned, obviously because of her understanding, but before Yunyao finished speaking, he continued: "The teacher has compiled the Book of Songs and deleted some content to sort out the "Three Hundred Poetry", which is actually to narrow the differences and unify the standards, so as not to have chopsticks and chopsticks in it. In this way, the Book of Songs loses its reference value. This is what the teacher said about "correcting the name."

Yunyao said that she knew too much about the Book of Songs because she was not "Three Hundred Poetry" but "Three Thousand Poetry". Although there was a lot of content, it was messy and it was impossible for everyone to use "Three Thousand Poetry" as a standard to communicate.

The country is getting bigger and bigger, and cultures are becoming more and more different. The same item has different names. In this way, Chinese people from different regions cannot communicate when they meet. Now, if they rely solely on "Yayan" it is difficult to accurately communicate with different countries, because in the process of using Yayan, new vocabulary is constantly added, but after adding the vocabulary, people in the world cannot update these new vocabulary together, which will make Lu and Chu have chopsticks.

At this time, a standard is needed, whether it is based on the elegant language of Lu, or the elegant language of Chu? Obviously, if you choose one of two, it is not the best answer, which will lead to dissatisfaction between Lu and Chu. Therefore, it is based on the Book of Songs, because the Book of Songs can be popular all over the world and can be used as the standard for all over the world.

So if someone quotes chopsticks from the Book of Songs in Chu State, then the people of Chu State will know that he is talking about chopsticks.

The Book of Songs is a set of standard terms for communication in different regions, so there should be no differences and they should be unified.

Yun Yao said that this understanding far exceeded the Book of Songs itself, but rather explained the deep role of the Book of Songs in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is not just about understanding the Book of Songs, but about analyzing and deconstructing it, and at the same time, he also understood Confucius' idea of ​​"correcting the name".

Correcting the name is to make society operate smoother and more harmonious.

Confucius did not expect that this female disciple was so keen. He understood himself better than other disciples in a year, and could explain it clearly in such straightforward words. To be honest, the Master himself only thought that the Book of Songs is very important, but he did not summarize that the Book of Songs is a standard, and correcting the name is to clarify this standard.

"It seems that you can learn the "Book of Changes"." After hearing this, if you don't teach Yunyao again, it will be delayed.

Unfortunately, she is a woman. If she were a man, she might be able to change this chaotic era.

Several core disciples were very envious. They all knew that Yunyao was a female disciple. After all, they were too close to Confucius and could not hide it from them. At first, Zilu was a little angry and felt that Confucius should not accept female disciples, but at this moment he was convinced. Because he had never thought about what Yunyao said.

After having a deep understanding of Yunyao's wisdom, Confucius wanted to hear Yunyao's view on self-restraint and rejuvenation of rituals. After all, he had never asked Yunyao before. Today, since she knew her intelligence, she would ask: "What do you think of your opinion on self-restraint and rejuvenation of rituals?"

"It is naturally good to restrain oneself, but there is no clear standard. Although the standards for resurrecting etiquette are very clear, Zhou Li obviously does not meet modern countries." Yun Yao said that repressing oneself and restoring etiquette all have their own problems.

"There are still standards for self-restraint, that is, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you." Confucius said. He could refute this, but he could not refute it later. After all, he encountered wallows everywhere, which means that everyone was unwilling to accept the Zhou Li.

Yunyao forgot about this. After all, it is too difficult to do to others what she does not want others to do to her. Many times she chooses to forget. It would be okay if she uses this as a standard for self-restraint. It is just subjective and cannot be expressed objectively, and it is difficult to grasp the standards. But Yunyao did not refute it, because it was enough to do the restoration of etiquette alone to make Confucius sad.

"Why is it not in line with the various countries?" Confucius asked.

"It's very simple, because everyone has completed the accumulation. A farmer who works hard for two generations can cultivate a craftsman. A crafter who works diligently for two generations can cultivate a craftsman. And a crafter who needs to find a way to make achievements and become a minister and a doctor. The more turbulent the world is, the more opportunities it will be. Ministers and doctors who accumulate wealth from two generations will think of becoming princes or even becoming kings. However, Zhou Li wants to let everyone stop at their own position and not leap up. So why do they have to endure hardships and work hard? Isn't it just that they don't have to look at other people's faces and hope that future generations can live a better life?" Yun Yao pointed directly at the reality of people going to a higher level. People work so hard to have a hope for a leap. If this hope disappears, why do you have to work hard? Zhou Li is the black hand that cuts off this spark of hope.
