Chapter 149 Confucius asks the ceremony

The summer goes to the cold, and the black and flying rabbits go.

Before we knew it, many years have passed.

Su Cheng's Taiqing Yuanshen has been sitting in seclusion all the time, Shangqing Yuanshen protects his left and right, and only Yuqing Yuanshen follows Laojun to practice. When he is idle, he is still flipping through books in the library. Occasionally, he discusses some summary of the scriptures with Wang Fangping, but he is extremely leisurely.

"Senior Brother."

Master Baiyun came to Sucheng with books in his hand and asked for advice: "How can I understand this high-spirited Sun and Moon I go up to the Tao? I am very blunt and I can't figure it out for a night."

Su Cheng left Taoist Master Baiyun, took the book and said, "Don't think about things that you can't figure out, you have to ask people for advice, do you know? This is the way of the sun and moon, and the sun and moon refer only to the moon-swalking method in "Shangqing Ziwen Sun Qi Swallowing Method" and "Shangqing Zishu". If you can practice these two paths together, you can run to the sun and moon and become an immortal god."

As a disciple of this sect, Su Cheng now has a richer knowledge reserve and is also generous in his guidance to his junior brothers next to him.

The library that keeps the history of the collection has been opened, and before these outer disciples came in, Su Cheng had been reading books in the library for many years, and many things had been understood by Su Cheng. Now, there is no difficulty in guiding these outer disciples.

"Junior Brother Su..."

The voice of Master Xuandu came from the door.

Su Cheng quickly got up and walked towards Master Xuandu.

"Let's go, come with me to the door to welcome the saint."

The great master Xuandu pulled Su Cheng.

"saint?"

Su Cheng mentioned the gods and followed Master Xuandu to the outside and asked, "Which saint is coming here?"

The great master Xuandu pointed to the sky.

Su Cheng looked at the sky like a kirin, pressing towards this side, but the clouds around the sky and earth around the mansion were still the same as usual, and were not invaded by the kirin clouds.

"It turns out to be a human saint."

Seeing this, Su Cheng said, walked to the door of the mansion and reached out to open the door.

Outside the guarding mansion, there was a seventeen-year-old young man standing, tall and strong, with a beard all over his face and bright eyes. Seeing the door open, he bowed to Su Cheng and the great master Xuandu.

"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."

Su Cheng and Xuandu Master both turned their bodies and gave in half. Then he bowed to the man in front of him and said, "Where did the distinguished guest come from? What's the matter?"

The young man smiled heartily and said, "Zhongni heard that Lao Dan was well-versed in the past and the present, knew the source of etiquette and music, and understood the essence of morality, so he came up to ask for advice."

This young man is Confucius in the future, and now he is only Confucius, whose courtesy name is Zhongni.

"The teacher is inside, sir, come with us."

Master Xuandu asked Confucius to walk inward.

Su Cheng closed the door behind him, looking at Confucius' back, feeling quite emotional. He didn't expect that the scene of Confucius asking for rituals would give him the honor to see him.

There are many records about Confucius asking Lao Tzu about etiquette, and there are many versions. In some versions, Confucius was already fifty-one years old, and in some versions, Confucius was a young man. Now that Su Cheng saw Confucius' appearance, he naturally knew which version he should believe in.

Inside the main hall.

Master Xuandu went back and asked Laojun for advice. Su Cheng poured a cup of tea for Confucius and came to Confucius.

"Sir, is Lao Dan's disciple?"

Confucius took the tea and asked Su Cheng.

"Yes, I've been with the teacher for many years."

Su Cheng replied, looking at Confucius' young and middle-aged man, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you come here to ask about rituals and music?"

Su Cheng has long been familiar with Zhou Li and other things.

"right……"

Confucius nodded and said, "Not only that, I also want to borrow the books here. Recently, there have been constant disputes and many books have been separated. Many things have been blurred in the past three hundred years. I want to see these clearly, and to compile a book and write them all."

Good guy, are you ready to practice "Spring and Autumn" at the age of seventeen?

What was I doing when I was seventeen? I recited the Analects of Confucius...

Speaking of Confucius' "Spring and Autumn", Su Cheng couldn't help but have a headache. This book is completely a code book, not a serious history book that records history seriously. Instead, it is a compliment or criticism in the subtle meaning. Later generations need to write books such as "Zuo Zhuan", "Gongyang Zhuan" and "Guliang Zhuan" to make people understand what it means.

Maybe I should do something for future generations.

"Conqiu."

Seeing that Confucius was a young man now, Su Cheng shouted loudly and said, "If you want to record history, should you record the development process of history from an objective perspective, or use a subjective perspective, or a metaphor of praise or criticism?"

Confucius shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and said, "In today's world, the princes have fought for years, and are cruel and unkind, and the emperor is numb. He will not allow a completely clear history to appear. Even if this is the place where the historians guarded the house, all the records inside are modified."

Although Confucius was not old, he saw more things along the way, so he would naturally know a lot of things.

"If I write a book that I fully understands history, I am afraid that it will be burned after it is published. Therefore, if I write a book, I will not be obsessed with what happened in the past, but will tell people what the world should be."

Confucius said seriously.

The book "Spring and Autumn" is Confucius' political and ideological work.

"So you're afraid of being burned."

Su Cheng looked at Confucius and smiled and said, "I have a way to make your books public throughout the world. All the officials will read your books, and even if the king wants to burn your books and ban your books, it will be endless."

Confucius looked at Sucheng curiously.

Su Cheng looked at Confucius, but thought of history in his heart.

The story of Qin Shihuang burning books and burying scholars was fabricated by Confucian scholars after the Han Dynasty. After all, the writing of Qin and Han Dynasty is in line with each other, and there was no trace of the rupture of Confucianism. On the contrary, during the Qing Dynasty, there was a complete old man, a real beast. He faked the Siku Quanshu, tampered with many articles, burning the original, which really caused great literary losses.

But in this process, some very interesting things happened, that is, all the erotic articles that this old man in Shiquan wanted to ban. In modern times, a few years later, when he searched the catalog of books that were banned, he searched the Internet for a lot of books. However, when he searched the catalog of books that were banned, he said that he could not find them, but he could not find them.

What power is this?

This is the power of the common sense!

Because this kind of thing is so vulgar that it can't be stopped.

Su Cheng certainly would not persuade Confucius to write yellow articles, but said, "You can write articles in plain language, so that you can have a broad reading foundation. If more people read, you will not be able to stop it."

Su Cheng was also doing his part to break the literary monopoly of Confucianism in later generations. Because of classical Chinese, all the classics were interpreted by them. Even if the books were thrown into the hands of the people, the people would not understand the meaning.
