New Story of Lv Bu

"At that time, Du Zhoufu was appointed Taishan prefect, Beihai minister, and met me when he visited Gaomi County. Upon seeing me, he thought I was a talented person, so he promoted me to the county as a staff member, which enabled me to learn and learn. Opportunities for further studies. It can be said that without Du Zhoufu, there would be no Zheng Kangcheng. Du Zhoufu was my benefactor and nobleman throughout my life. Soon after I arrived in Beihai County, I resigned from my post and officially entered Taixue with the help of Du Zhoufu. In Taixue, I met my first teacher, Fifth Yuanxian."

"The fifth is a compound surname, or the pseudonym of my teacher. I don't care about him. Under the teaching of my teacher, I have successively studied "Jing Shi Yi", "Gong Yang Chun Qiu", "San Tong Li", " "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" have reached the level of proficiency. The teacher’s knowledge is Jinwen Jingxue, "Jing Shi Yi" was written by the Jingfang of the local government, and "Gong Yang Chun Qiu" was narrated by Gong Yang Gao in the Warring States period. Both books are It is an important classic of Jinwen Jingxue. If you study these two books well, you will have a strong foundation for Jinwen Jingxue. "Santongli" is the calendar written by Liu Xin of this dynasty, and "Nine Chapters Arithmetic" is written by Zhougong of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Both of these books are important works on the study of calendars and mathematics."

"The next ten years will be the age of my diligent study. While studying under the mentor of the Fifth Yuan Xian, I also studied "The Officials of Zhou", "Book of Rites", "The Spring and Autumn of the Zuo Family", and "The Book of Rites" from the Dongjun Zhang Gongzu at the same time. "Han Poems", "Guwenshangshu" and other books. Teacher Zhang Gongzu is a master of ancient literature and classics, "Zhouguan", "Zuoshi Chunqiu", and "Guwenshangshu" are all important classics of ancient literature and classics. In this way, the foundation of ancient literature and classics I also played more securely. In addition, I worshipped a third teacher, Chen Qiu Chen Bozhen, who served as the young man of Yongle in the second year of the photosynthesis, with Situ Liu Yun, infantry school lieutenant Liu Na, and Wei Wei. Yang Qiu tried to punish the eunuch, and after the incident was vented, he was killed by the eunuch. I studied under Chen Bozhen and studied the "Law". In this way, my legal foundation has become more solid."

"The scholars of this dynasty pay attention to the character of the Warring States period, and they pay attention to reading thousands of books to travel thousands of miles. Now you, don't you all wear a sword at your waist and ride a tall horse when you go in and out? The last time you have a donkey. Just like you , I also started a study tour career, among the prefectures of You, Bing, Yan, and Henan, I visited famous Confucianism, transferred to many teachers, argued with each other, and studied Confucianism. Unconsciously, I have been studying for ten years, and I have been studying Confucianism. I have gained a deep understanding, and I am already the foremost master of Confucianism in Kanto."

In the first year of Li, the knowledge is already second to none in the Kanto region, but it seems to be an extremely easy task in Zheng Xuan's mouth. But in the ears of the scholars present, it seems to be urging them to work hard to learn, and to be in line with Zheng Kangcheng. For a while, everyone was silent, and they asked themselves whether their knowledge was good enough and how much hard work they had done?

The power of role models is endless. Today's most prestigious Confucian master Zheng Xuan Zheng Kangcheng, when he was young, was just the son of a peasant. He learned Confucianism step by step and studied hard for ten years. If you look at others and think about yourself, the living example is ahead. The Confucian scholars immediately aroused a strong belief in their hearts that they must study hard like Zheng Kangcheng. Even if it can't last for ten years, it's good to stick to the previous year or even one month. It is beneficial to open the book. This is indeed true.

Zheng Xuan was so smart that he could see through the minds of everyone at a glance. He paused briefly, waiting for the scholars and scholars to think carefully before continuing. "The power of Confucianism lies in knowing your heart, knowing what must be persisted, and what is indifferent. To do this, you need introspection, even if you can't do it like a master's "three times a day". It is good to save one province for ten days and a half months. Only introspection can keep the soul peaceful and not be contaminated by foreign objects."

"Although my knowledge is already very good, there are still many things I don't understand, but no one in Kanto can be my teacher. So, I left my homeland through my friend Lu Zhi. As I entered the pass to the west, I worshipped Ma Rong Ma Jichang as my teacher. Ma Jichang was my fourth and last mentor, and he finally set me alive."

"Ma Jichang was the most famous master of Confucian classics at the time. He was very knowledgeable. He devoted himself to Confucian classics and was a master of ancient Chinese classics. There are thousands of disciples of his mentor, and there are more than 400 people who follow him all the year round. The number of people is almost comparable to that of Confucius’s 72 disciples. Teachers are rich and expensive, but they only teach a small number of seniors face-to-face, and then they are transferred to other professions."

"In this way, I stayed under the mentor's door for three full years, and I have never seen his face! I can only listen to his senior disciples turning to teach. At first, I was very uncomfortable. I think Zheng Xuan is also a prestigious master of Confucian classics in Kanto. It is a shame to not see my teacher here! But after thinking about it, I came to study, so I have to endure my loneliness. So, I thought. Once opened, I still study chanting day and night without being tired."

Having said this, Zheng Xuan looked at the thousands of scholars around him meaningfully, and their faces showed thoughtful expressions. A well-known master of classics in the Kanto area, under the name of Ma Jichang, Guanzhong, is so unknown. What does this show? First, Ma Jichang's knowledge is too high to show Zheng Kangcheng's excellence. Second, Zheng Kangcheng's thinking about studying, he can endure loneliness and loneliness. He is really a model for my generation to study! After winning a teacher, what does the husband want?

"After three years of obscurity in this way, the opportunity finally came. One day, Ma Jichang and his high-footed disciples worked together to solve the problem of the sky. They encountered difficulties and could not explain themselves. At the time of the difficulties, some people said Zheng Kangcheng is good at math, why not ask him to come and see? Maybe you can get something. So, I met my teacher Ma Jichang for the first time."

"It just so happened that I encountered this problem before, and it took a long time to solve the problem, so I quickly solved the problem satisfactorily. The mentor and his disciples were very surprised and admired. Later, the mentor said to Lu Zigan:'I With you, it’s not as good as Zheng Kangcheng!' Since then, my teacher has taken me seriously, and I finally got the opportunity to teach face-to-face with my teacher."

"My teacher's knowledge is really profound. I asked my teacher for my previous doubts, and I got satisfactory answers one by one, which opened my mind. From then on, all the books of the masters have been studied carefully, searching for details, and making progress. Further. Time flies, and seven years have passed in a flash. Because my parents are old and need to be raised, I had to say goodbye to my teacher and return to my hometown in Shandong. Before leaving, my teacher held my hand and said to the disciples: "Zheng Sheng is here, I Dao Dong! "Now I want to come, this is the highest evaluation I have received in my life!"

"After returning to my hometown, I am already the most prestigious and educated master of Confucianism in the Kanto region. Therefore, Confucian scholars from far and near are famous. Thousands of people voted in my name, worshiping me as a teacher, and listening to me. Lecture. My family was very poor at the time, so I farmed to make a living and taught the disciples at the same time. From then on, I became a teacher."

"In the first year of the first emperor Jianning, there was a second party confinement. The imperial court ordered all states and counties to investigate party members. All the'party members' and their protégés, old officials, fathers and sons, and brothers who are currently in official positions will be removed from office and imprisonment. It is a close friend of Du Zhoufu, who has been appreciated and promoted by him, so it is logical to be listed among the party members. In the fourth year of Jianning, more than forty people including Sun Song and I were imprisoned. This imprisonment. It was fourteen years, and it was not until the yellow turban was up that the court issued an edict to pardon the party members."

"I was imprisoned at the age of forty-five, and received a pardon order until the age of fifty-eight. It lasted for fourteen years. In these fourteen years, I never did not go to school for one day. For'Liyan'? Who should make a statement? Later, I finally figured it out, and began to write a book, with millions of words before and after, and finally founded the'Zhengxue'. This is the old man's statement!"

Hearing this, more than a thousand scholars and scholars immediately burst into applause. At this moment, the "Zhengxue" initiated by Zheng Xuan has begun to become a Confucianism "sect by the world". Zheng Xuan's commentary on ancient Chinese classics tuition fees' "Yi" became popular, and the three "Yi" of Shi, Meng, and Liangqiu of the current Wenjing school were abolished; the "Guwenshangshu" noted by Zheng Xuan circulated, and the current Wenjing school of Ouyang, Daxia and Hou "Shangshu" was lost; Zheng Xuan's commentary on "Mao Shi" from ancient literary classics, and the "Poems" of Qi, Lu, and Han from the modern literary classics disappeared. The emergence of Zhengxue brought the study of Confucian classics into a "unified era".

"Shi Qian once said:'Gai Xibo played "Zhou Yi"; Zhong Niu wrote "The Spring and Autumn"; Qu Yuan exiled and wrote "Li Sao"; Zuoqiu was blind, but he had "Guoyu"; grandson's feet, "The Art of War" "Repairing lists; not moving to Shu, the legendary "Lü Lan"; Han Fei prisoners Qin, "Said Difficulty", "Lonely Anger"; "Poems" three hundred articles, the great sage's indignation is also written.' Believe it!"

"Finally, what the old man wants to answer is the question you just asked, in order to learn, what should be the first? The old man's lifelong learning experience shows that if you want to learn well, you must take all aspects and get rid of the teaching methods and family methods in the classics. That set! For learning, we should focus on the study of ancient texts, supplemented by the study of modern texts, why? The classics of ancient texts are not limited to dictionaries, and they are magnificent. Beginners learn it, can quickly understand the general meaning, and have a high mountain to admire. A sense of cessation. When the learning deepens, there are many puzzles, and then learn the new text of the classics, from the textual research, to explore the source and the source, and then you will know where it came from, where it went, and where the error was born. Place."

"In short, the new text of the scriptures should be re-examined. The new text of the scriptures is of great significance. For learning, you should focus on the ancient texts, and adopt the new texts, and follow the good ones. This is the method for learning! The old man created the'Zhengxue' 'After reading the books, I will do thorough textual research, focusing on the ancient texts, taking the modern texts, taking the essence, and discarding the dross, which is the result of my life's painstaking efforts!"
