Chapter 2220 (1/2)
Fang Yun holds the new notes to the Analects written by himself and reads it in a gentle tone. He first reads the text of Kong Sheng's Analects, and then explains each word step by step, followed by literal translation and finally free translation, most of which contain extended meaning.
Fang Yun has the word of heaven in his mouth. Anyone who hears his voice will fully understand the meaning of words and text, and it is difficult to forget. He also has the power to educate the edge of the holy way, which is more convincing and makes the two big demon kings pious and modest.
The words of heaven are only passively accepted by the audience, but the power of enlightenment makes people take the initiative to change when they listen to the class. As time goes by, all changes will become habits and become new people.
Like the Analects of Confucius, the new notes to the Analects of Confucius has 20 articles in total. After reading five articles, Fang Yun looks at the two big demon kings.
Those two big demon kings are infatuated and still aftertaste this Terran classic.
Fang Yun ignored the two demons and made some corrections in the first five chapters, because he had new ideas in the process of reading.
After an hour, the two big demon kings returned to calm, and their eyes were softer than usual.
Fang Yun's original plan was to go to the ancient imperial forest first, and then to the vicinity of Chishan to wait for the God given mountain and sea. However, because the harvest of robbing demon barbarians far exceeded expectations, and it may take too many days to enter the ancient imperial forest, he decided to rob Chishan all the way.
One person and two demons went straight to Chishan and stayed for several hours a day. Four days later, Fang Yun finished the new notes to the Analects of Confucius.
The two big demon Kings also had obvious changes, with clearer eyes and smarter brains.
The rat king even beat around the Bush and wanted to worship Fang Yun as a teacher, but he was politely refused.
On the fifth day, Fang Yun taught two big demon kings while writing the new notes to the University.
”University” is an article in the book of rites, but it has more than a thousand words, but it is the outline of Confucianism. It puts forward eight items of ”object, knowledge, sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, family harmony, governance and world peace”.
In ancient China, Er Cheng first valued the University and the doctrine of the mean in the book of rites and called them ”Xiaojing” together with the Analects of Confucius and Mencius. Later, Zhu Xi extracted the University and the doctrine of the mean separately for the first time, and called them the four books together with the Analects of Confucius and Mencius.
In the Shengyuan continent, before Fang Yun, no one extracted the University for separate annotation.
With his previous experience, Fang Yun did not immediately finish the new notes to university, but left the last punctuation mark. If the last sentence is not clicked, the whole book will not be completed.
On the sixth day, Fang Yun began to make the new note of the golden mean.
The golden mean does not have many words, only more than 3000. If the University focuses on self-cultivation, the golden mean pays more attention to cultivation.
From the seventh day, Fang Yun wrote Mencius new notes.
Among the four books, the university has more than 1000 words, the doctrine of the mean has more than 3000 words, the Analects of Confucius has more than 13000 words, and Mencius has more than 34000 words.
Compared with the Analects of Confucius, the thoughts in Mencius are more complicated and radical.
Mencius was lucky, because in his time, the power of Confucianism was far greater than that of Confucius, and he was treated much better than Confucius.
Mencius was also unfortunate. The Warring States period was far more chaotic than the spring and Autumn period. In addition to Confucianism, various forces took advantage of the situation.
The Analects of Confucius mainly talks with his disciples. Although he talks with Wang Gongtong, such as Duke AI of Lu, Duke Ding of Lu, Duke Jing of Qi, Duke Ling of Wei, etc., the content is not much and the space is limited.
