Chapter 18 "Miscellaneous Copy of Literature and History" - (151-160)

(151) The way of learning should be observed.Knowing the present but not the past is the ugliness of vulgar Confucianism; knowing the past without knowing the present is the paralysis of pedantic Confucianism.Keeping the past in mind, using it at any time, parallel without conflicting, is called mastering Confucianism.The past cannot be muddied, and the present cannot be neglected.Ancient learning changes at any time, and this is inevitable, and a sage cannot go back to the past and go back to the past.Therefore, it is necessary to know ancient learning. If you use it, you will follow the present and follow the crowd.From now on, it is suitable for the times, conforms to the crowd, and adapts to human feelings.

(152) Tao Songyi stopped farming and recorded, and Li Mulu and Zi Huigong went to give lectures when they were in the Hanlin. They asked, which of the three religions is the most valuable? Confrontation said, Buddhism is like gold, Taoism is like white walls, and Confucianism is like grains.The above said, if so, Confucianism is low? Conversely, it is no problem if there is no gold and white walls. How can there be no shortage of five grains in the world? Great joy.In the case of "Sui Shu Biography of Li Ziqian", the guest asked the advantages and disadvantages of the three religions, Shiqian's day, Buddha's day, Taoism's moon, and Confucianism's five stars.

The case of Wumenglou: the former metaphor is reluctant, and the latter metaphor is inconsistent. (one five three) When Buddhism enters the Middle Earth, it will be ruined. "Book of Songs·Zhou Lang Biography" is from Shishi's stream teaching. It has a source. It has been inspected and measured carefully. It is not deep, but it is also wide. The months and months passed by, handing over broken brocades and silks, extravagantly decorated carts, fake crude medical skills, asking miscellaneous divination numbers, the room full of birthdays, the house full of wine, there are many people who send husbands and wives, and those who kill their sons to fill their children. Yes, but still relying on the false image of the spirit, betraying relatives and arrogating the emperor, bullying the sick and the old, and damaging the palace, this is what is not tolerated by external punishments, and not repented by internal teachings....The ambiguity of the way of heaven and the chaos of human affairs are kept mixed and mixed, so ideals fall into the world of mortals and become diapers for devout men and women. "Those who learn wisdom will practice for them every day, and those who restrain admonishment will spend every month." Inspired by the central interests, of course they cannot persist.

(one five four) The text is like a mountain and a bright moon, clear and dust-free. There are endless intentions, and elites are rare. Ease of thinking and concentration, ancient meaning and new sound.Row the rough into the fine, turn the old into the new. Short story with deep meaning.It is short and steep, but it is concise. Xiuyu wins three greens, sings three sighs, and the lingering sound lingers around the beam. Thinking is profound, and a few words are important.Practice Qi to return to God, and the pen is strong and honest. The spirit is full from the middle, and the splendor does not overflow.

The negative voice is powerful, and the vibrancy is about to fly. The meaning is extremely concise, and the words are extremely muddy. The inner energy is like melting gold, while the outer surface shines brightly like pearls coming out of a box. The casting bureau is not only a job, but the choice of words is complex.The principle is the word, and the simplicity is without support. The source is clear, the topic is revealed, the decision is precise and detailed, and the rationale is excellent. It's an extremely heavy number, but it's clear when you say it, and it's decided in your chest.

Never pile up the truth, but a piece of emptiness is enough to open the eyes. It doesn't take off and doesn't stick, and it also bends and nucleates.The clutch is in the heart, and the control is in the hand. Extensively citing circumstantial evidence and drawing rich materials. Songfengshuiyue, fairy dew pearl. . . . . . . The case of Wumenglou: Stereotyped commentary, less than half of the total number of people copied it.The first and second are "Poetry", "Spring and Autumn", "Yi" and "Li".Most of them are recorded, with the cover first. "Poetry" is decremented below, and its repetitions are deleted. The essence of "Yi" is selected below, and there are not many records.All the passages stop and stop in the middle, covering a large area with blackness, no less than ten thousand pieces, it is annoying to climb and pick and choose, and I realized that it is not easy to drill into the pile of ancient papers.It can be seen from this that the ancient culture is heavy and huge, which is suffocating and unbearable.If you don't adapt to the ancients and become a person in ancient clothes, it will be hard not to get bored.As far as its content is concerned, although it is romantic from different generations and full of humanities, if you look at it, it is a mixture of ancient and modern, flaws and goodness.As far as its excellence is concerned, it is ethereal, devoted to both exactness and etherealness, making sense and elusive.The spirit is clear, it exists in the person, the shadow is longing, if it is at a distance, it does not know whether it is the present or the past.Shi Xinchou postscript on the sixth day after Mid-Autumn Festival.At that time he had just recovered from hemoptysis, and I tried my best to achieve this. I looked at the text in the past, moved my eyes to the tendons of my eyes, and felt melancholy for a long time.

(155) Stereotypes are the product of the obliteration or non-recognition of human personality in spiritual reality.It prevents people from having their own spiritual world, but must immerse themselves in the absolute halo of light in order to obtain their own existence.One must speak on behalf of the saint in order to gain the right to speak.Only abstract commonality, no individuality of flesh and blood, this is the essence of stereotyped essays.The view that stereotyped essays are merely formal flaws is itself formalistic. (156) The way of stereotyped writing, its acquisition is uncertain; its acquisition is also very difficult.Suave and outstanding talent, a person with extraordinary talents and abilities, must not be ranked for ten years, and he sighs poorly, his talent is exhausted, and he has no spare energy to become a scholar, which is a wonderful recipe for killing people without blood.If this is the case, there will be fewer heroes and commentators, and it will be very easy to tame the world.Therefore, Qin Shihuang's burnt poems and books, and Ming Taizu's art and crafts are far away from two hearts, and they have shared the same style for thousands of years. They are all foolish leaders, emphasizing the power of the group, controlling the unification of the world, and strengthening internal strife. No one is good at this.

(157) The reason why Changli sighs is that she works for flattery to cater to, cleverly speculates for hope and selection, and wins wealth and prosperity in the way of a false wife.Is Changli's fondness for ancient prose an expression of personality requirements? (158) Those who proclaim their principles are empty sages, while those who handle them are examiners who are limited by their prejudices. They coexist with the most dignified and magnificent things and personal appreciation of flesh and blood, and the latter actually exercise their power. , it seems that there is no fixed standard. -

(159) The learning of the imperial examinations flourished, and the scholars speculated and suppressed the theory, and the classics were often deleted (reading the selected editions), especially the meanings of the classics were borrowed (because of the speeches), while the actual learning was weak.Those who are clever and cunning, in only two or three years, have been able to write and write, and they are quick to take the imperial examinations, and they are popular in the hearts of the people, but there are few people who know how to make money and who can't return.The style of writing has changed from generation to generation, and those who teach and those who maintain balance, each stick to their own preferences, often deviate from each other, and scholars are not suitable.

(160) As far as its benefits are concerned, the husband first uses the meaning of the classics to observe its Neo Confucianism; then it uses theory to observe its knowledge; then it judges to observe its judgment; Its talent; at the end of the day, it is a strategy to see its mastery of affairs.However, these five are a compromise between the classics, the verdicts of the Tang Dynasty, the strategies of the Tang Dynasty, the edicts of the Han and Song Dynasties, and the beauty of poetry and prose.
