Chapter 209 Truth
Of course, not all are benefits.
Using Confucian classics as annotations will naturally arouse the vigilance of other schools.
Especially for Huang Lao and the Mo family, if one is not good, he will regard him as a thorn in his side.
Confucianism may not necessarily lend a helping hand. After all, "heretic" is more abominable than "pagans", and it is not a unique scene of the Monotheistic religion.
But Tang Qi said resolutely.
The reason is very simple. Liu Che was a very strong emperor, so strong that even the school and the hearts of the people had to be controlled by the hearts of the people.
Under the rule of such a powerful emperor, although the school dispute can be said to be bloody, the basic intensity can still be suppressed.
And compared with the Qin Dynasty where wars were everywhere, the Western Han Dynasty was a truly unified dynasty.
If you want to "intellectual enlightenment", there is nothing more suitable than the Han Wu Dynasty!
"I understand the truth about calming the state of studying things and learning, but what does that have to do with what you said?"
"Yes, An Dinghou, aren't what you said and written all the tricks and tricks?"
The students of Tai also have the pride of Tai students. They are at the top of the pyramid of the great Han scholars, and they will not easily accept a new knowledge.
Even if this knowledge is backed by the emperor, it will be the same if the dignified Guanneihou teaches!
Tang Qi smiled slightly: "I would think it is a strange technique, which just shows that your understanding of learning and knowledge is still on the surface."
"Take the three forms of water change. Before the "Reading Book", I also showed the method of making ice in front of His Majesty and the soldiers."
"As far as I know, many people in Chang'an are using saltpeter to store ice?"
The students did not deny it.
"So what? It's not something that can be at the end of the day!"
"Ice making is just a luxury, and it doesn't match our academic philosophy!"
Tang Qi raised his index finger and slapped it: "I think so because your thoughts are superficial, but I don't really understand the real principles."
"Have you ever thought about what ice is? Why can water form ice? What is the principle of making ice in saltpeter?"
The three soul-sentenced questions silenced the scholars present.
"Ice is the solid state of water, which is formed by cooling and solidifying after reaching the freezing point. Similarly, water evaporates into a gaseous state after being heated and is water vapor; water vapor becomes fog visible to the naked eye after being cooled. Similarly, it can be proved that the clouds in the sky are also the form formed by water vapor when cooled."
"The clouds continue to thicken and re-deem themselves into liquid after reaching a certain critical point, which is rainfall."
"So, why can saltpeter be made ice? Have you ever thought about it?"
Many people nodded in contemplation.
Tang Qi smiled and said, "This is the result of investigating things. The ultimate truth of pursuing 'water' is extended to the truth of pursuing all things in the world, which is to investigate things to achieve knowledge!"
"People in the world blame the unknown things on ghosts and gods. From then on, they can't think about everything and push everything on ghosts and gods, and they are happy and relaxed, but they don't know if ghosts and gods are watching jokes like us."
"This is not the case with our master. Whenever we encounter unknown things, we boldly assume and carefully verify them, and strive to make the truth of all things in the world clear. If one generation fails to achieve the next generation, the next generation fails to achieve the next generation, and if it passes on from generation to generation, just to seek the truth in the world!"
After a word came out, the whole hall was silent.
The scholars present, no matter what school they are from, could not help but show a solemn expression.
It seemed that the breathing was a little heavier, and it was an offense to such a shocking declaration!
Looking at Tang Qi standing on the stage again, it seemed to be shrouded under the holy light!
What kind of master can teach students who have such a spirit and can still put them into practice?
Second floor loft.
In the private room.
Liu Che smiled and said, "Since I, the gentleman the father has found for you, have you found the right one?"
Liu Ji's eyes shining: "Sir is the best!"
Tang Qi's declaration continues: "It is not enough to just distinguish the truth, and the truth must be spread to the people of the world."
"It's like making ice with saltpeter. If we understand that people don't spread the truth to the world, there will be people who pretend to be gods and ghosts who use ghosts to deceive the people and use this method to deceive money. If they succeed, they will sarcastically call the people ignorance!"
"But after the "Reader" spread all over the world, everyone knows how water turns into ice. If such a liar wants to harm others, even the foolish man in the mountain village can spit on his face!"
"good!"
I don’t know who started the head, and there were cheers below.
"What a model for us scholars who spread the truth all over the world!"
"The theory of respecting teachers may not necessarily agree with them, but the ideal of respecting teachers is admired!"
"No wonder An Dinghou has a great literary talent, but he writes the "Reader" so vulgar and simple. I didn't understand it at first, but now I finally understand it!"
Starting from the controversy among hundreds of schools of thought, education in the world is the greatest "political correctness" of urban people in the world.
No one will deny this.
The county magistrate, county magistrate and other people-friendly officials have added as many scholars within the year of their rule, which may be promoted as political achievements!
It is also a great merit for famous scholars to go to the countryside and start private schools to teach the people!
Tang Qi's words can be said to have hit the itchy spot of scholars!
Tang Qi struck while the iron was hot and declared proudly: "Therefore, studying things to gain knowledge is a knowledge that benefits the country and the people. It can not only eliminate the truth, but also benefit the people of the world!"
This time, no one refuted it again.
No matter what school it is, it is always true whether it agrees with the knowledge that Tang Qi said.
Even the Mohist disciples who hate Confucianism will not denounce "studying things and seeking knowledge" as a wrong way after today.
And smart people can understand that the theories that Tang Qi said are certainly very reasonable, but in fact, as a separate "school", are not complete.
Not a complete school, it is not enough to establish a school.
This can alleviate the hostility of many people.
Especially the Confucian disciples, who are more active and have begun to imagine what a wonderful scene it would be if Tang Qi's theory could be included under Confucianism.
But not everyone can be calm.
Tang Qi's study of things and knowledge is a very attractive new thing for most students. Even if they are not interested, they will not be hostile.
But for a small number of people, they are just digging for their roots in making a fortune!
Not to mention that while Tang Qi was giving lectures, he even called them to mock them!
That's right, these people are groups commonly known as "Taoist", but they have little to do with the Huang-Lao School at this time.
Rather than being a Taoist priest, it is a Celestial version of the "alchemy master".
They asked God every day and asked, and they also had a place in the Han government for refining elixirs.
In the eyes of these people, Tang Qi’s so-called “studying things and seeking knowledge” is simply to demand their life roots!
