Chapter 1758 Origin
"Someone is wrong?"
Fei Qian asked with some doubts.
Outside Chang''an City, heavy snow fell. The difference between Wei and Wei has not yet been fully defined. Many things have yet to be concluded.
"Yes, the General was wrong..."
Zheng Xuan spoke with certainty, as if he was saying that the sun rises from the east and sets from the west.
Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "Since we are sitting and talking about the Tao, don''t let the generals do this and the generals do that. Mr. Zheng may as well be blunt. What is wrong with Mr. Wang?"
Jing water gurgles.
The snowflakes fell on the water surface. At the moment of contact, there seemed to be such a short pause, and then disappeared. In the last second, it was a lightly flying elf, and in the next second it became a rushing dancer, and there was no trace between the transformations.
On the red clay stove fire, the water boiled with a gurgling sound.
Huang Xu stepped forward, took the water bottle, and put it beside Fei Qian.
Fei Qian picked up the kettle, warmed the teacup slightly, and then made tea.
Zheng Xuan watched quietly, and did not immediately express his opinion. No matter what, it is always a pleasant thing to drink the tea soup brewed by Hussar General himself.
The tea water is translucent and clear. Although the frying technology of the Han Dynasty has not yet reached the level of refinement to every temperature and every second of the later generations, it is completely different from the original method of cooking tea bricks in the Han Dynasty. In the tea soup, only the taste of the tea itself is left. , that original taste.
"Good tea..." Zheng Xuan admired, shaking his eyebrows. In the cold winter, taking a sip of hot tea, the aroma fills the mouth and nose, and the warmth soothes the stomach and intestines, it is really pleasant.
Fei Qian nodded. In fact, the tea used by Fei Qian is not worth more than gold, but it is just better sealed. After all, things like tea leaves are too easy to taint, and it smells like wherever it is placed. If it is placed in smelly socks, it must smell like salted fish.
It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, and tea is the best.
It is so difficult to pursue the original heart, only tea can reward the thirsty.
After three rounds of drinking, the tongue becomes numb. Before the brain is completely numb, it is time to say what should be said. If I don’t say anything, I’m afraid someone will pretend to be drunk, and the tea leaves will fade after three brews, and the bitterness will come through. , Just like life, under the fragrance, there is depression.
"General..." Zheng Xuan put down the tea bowl, his eyes remained on the tea soup, "things in the world are like tea and wine... The beauty of tea lies in its lightness, long aftertaste, calm state of mind, clarity and reason, and the beauty of wine lies in its strength and blood. Enchanted, hearty... Now the general insists on making wine into tea, isn''t that absurd?"
Fei Qian rubbed the beard on his chin and said, "Please explain in detail."
Tea and wine, chrysanthemum and knife. Zheng Xuan''s analogy does have some meaning.
"Concerning the matter of the Spring and Autumn Period, Kong Zhongni taught all kinds of things...It''s like clear tea, found in the wild, everyone can pick it, enough to see the clarity..." Zheng Xuan smiled, pointed to the tea bowl, and then said, "Dr. Ran is an official. , it becomes wine, stored in the cellar, the more mellow..."
"Doctor?" Fei Qian frowned slightly, then thought deeply.
Zheng Xuan''s words are actually very simple, and they also point directly to the essence of the problem, which is benefit.
In the face of interests, dreams, feelings, and prospects are all haha. Humanity and morality are small transparency that does not exist in the interest system. Hairy mouth.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, why was Confucius able to teach without discrimination? The more difficult it is to do it later? The scalp is not itchy for one generation, the water is not cold for a while, and it lasts forever, and there are even some high-level intellectuals who don''t hesitate to bear the infamy just to win the smile of foreigners, and donate their hands to the elders and young ladies in their hometown...
In the final analysis, there are two words, "interests".
Therefore, when you encounter something, don’t arrange the position of your feet first. Instead, you must first sort out the interests in your head so that you can see it clearly. As for whether you can see the truth, it depends on where the specific status is.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all official positions were arranged according to their talents. Taking a chestnut to chew, Zhang Yi was "plundered and whipped hundreds of times" by the Prime Minister of Chu. His wife said: "Hey! Don''t read and lobby, how can you be so humiliated?" Zhang Yi said to his wife: "Do you still have my tongue? " His wife said with a smile: "The tongue is there." Yi said: "It is enough."
Does Zhang Yi have any talents, yes, or is there anyone with similar talents to Zhang Yi? Many, but the reason why Zhang Yi became Zhang Yi was not because of her talent and learning, but because of Zhang Yi''s good oral skills...
From the Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period, the proportion of people who were reused because of their talents was far greater than those who were reused because of their talents. Therefore, on the whole, the level of talent determines the level of the position, and then the position of "doctor" was born...
Doctor, first seen in the Warring States Period, was responsible for keeping documents and archives, compiling books, mastering ancient and modern times, imparting knowledge, and cultivating talents. Seventy people in the state of Qin were awarded doctors. Later, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was set up along the line, and the rank was more than six hundred stones, which belonged to Fengchang. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a doctor of the Five Classics was also established, and the doctor became an academic officer specializing in teaching Confucian classics.
Since then, for the first time in the control system, the standard of using academics as officials, rather than talents as officials, has appeared.
There seems to be no difference between these two standards. After all, being able to read and read can be regarded as a talent, but the problem is that IQ is not equal to EQ...
The above is the first aspect of the problem that Zheng Xuan said.
The second aspect is the issue of publicity and private collection.
It''s like the tea and wine that Zheng Xuan said.
Tea was not called "tea" at the beginning, but was replaced by many different names, such as "茶, 荈, 奇, 槚, 茶" and other names. The word "tea" first appeared in books such as "Book of Songs" and "Erya", which means bitter plant leaves. The prefix of the word 艸 is a redundant yu, which means a plant that is unique among herbal plants. When it is derived, tea has evolved into a general term for plants that can detoxify, including tea.
This point is also explained in the legend. Shennong ate hundreds of herbs, and then was poisoned. When he met tea, he solved it.
This shows that the origin of tea is not artificially cultivated, but something that is naturally produced, but people have encountered it and marked it down...
But wine is different.
If you want to get wine, you must hide it.
If exposed to the air, it will either turn into vinegar, or it will mold and rot, becoming an **** of microbial mold.
Therefore, the form of tea is more like the accumulation of knowledge in ancient times, while the posture of wine is like the mode of knowledge in the Han Dynasty.
"The words of Zheng Gong are good..." Fei Qian nodded, then looked at Zheng Xuan and said, "But... Zheng Gong thinks, is it better to drink tea or wine?"
Zheng Xuan smiled, "Tea is good, wine is even better!"
Fei Qian laughed and said, "I would like to hear more about it."
"The general''s tea, clearing the heart and clearing the mind, is certainly a rare thing...However, in the mountains and fields, there are also people who put flowers into tea, trees into tea, and fruits into tea. "Zheng Xuan said slowly, "Wine is not the case. Vessels, millet, water, and koji are all perfect, so that good wine can be obtained, and the dross is discarded, leaving only fine wine..."
Fei Qian rubbed the beard above his chin back and forth with the backs of two fingers.
Zheng Xuan''s rhetoric also has some truth, but this truth is not very reliable.
Although it has been so long since the Han Dynasty, like most Han people, Fei Qian began to grow a beard, but Fei Qian still has not developed the habit of taking care of his beard carefully, let alone going out like Guan Erye. When I go out, I have to wear pants and bellybands for the beard. Basically, it allows the beard to grow freely. Even when touching the beard with hands, it is very casual. Rubbing and rubbing are basic operations, like many literati Touching his beard in the way of finger-twisting is completely invisible on Fei Qian.
A beard is just a beard. A beard is a symbol of masculinity, but it does not mean that a beard is a masculine.
Zheng Xuan''s remarks seem to indicate that beards are men, and the logic is slightly reversed.
Just like the famous saying in later generations, "take the essence and discard the dross", it seems that everyone has heard and understood it, but in fact the point of this sentence is not to argue with others about what is the "essence" and what is "the dross" , It does not mean how much should be "taken" and how much should be "discarded", but should be such a process after knowing such a method.
It’s like eating. Steak is a kind of food, and tortillas are also a kind of food, but we can’t say that steak is the essence and tortillas are the dross, or we can’t say that because steak is expensive, we are picky eaters and refuse other types of food. Perceiving food, eating it, absorbing nutrients, and then expelling the residue is a complete process.
What is important is the process of eating, not standing aside and commenting on standards.
Staying in verbal support and comments, it is impossible to satisfy people.
Because the standards of others are the standards of others after all, just like some people are allergic to peanuts, some people are allergic to shrimp, etc. Their constitutions are different, so the so-called essence and dross are naturally different.
"Silkworms are good in Sichuan..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Zheng has seen it?"
"Silkworms?" Zheng Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I have heard a little about it..."
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Mulberry is the best for feeding silkworms. If mulberry is used as food, the silk produced is white and long, which is the best choice for making brocade. If it is mixed with leaves, the silk will be yellow and gray, and it is easy to break. , the quality is not good... However, there are many silkworms and few leaves, and there are too many to pick...May I ask Zheng Gong, at this time, should we feed the silkworms, or the miscellaneous leaves?"
Zheng Xuan frowned.
The silkworm is very interesting, because what traps the silkworm is nothing but the mulberry leaves chosen by the baby silkworm itself, and the silk vomited by itself.
It''s like the current gentry.
Those silks were chosen by the gentry themselves, mastered, and then vomited on themselves...
Fei potential future generations have heard a theory called "information cocoon room". Knowledge, in a sense, is also a kind of information. Ancient people preserved information in words or pictures, and later generations understood it, which is a process of information transmission.
When ordinary people receive information, they will habitually choose to believe the information they want to believe. This kind of choice is subconscious, and it will directly affect the next move, such as those various idol fans. All idols are human beings, and being human has advantages and disadvantages. This is common sense, but idol fans reject common sense, only look at what they want to see, and only accept information they want to accept.
Some people may say that idol fans are younger and immature in thinking, but it turns out that everyone is the same, more or less. The typical manifestation is the "Cambridge Analytica" incident.
Although Cambridge Analytica went bankrupt later, the gods who came from all walks of life quickly discovered the business opportunities in it, and even a deadly weapon...
From a physical point of view, information is also a kind of entropy. Messy information has no value because it is disordered, but after being processed by big data, the disordered information becomes an orderly existence, so it has huge value.
Like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, knowledge was messy, and there were hundreds of schools of thought. However, after the Qin and Han Dynasties sorted out intentionally or unintentionally, the messy sources of information were gathered and became an orderly existence.
Then you can control everything, even from generation to generation.
When all the information around a person is controlled and intentionally screened and pushed, then all the information that this person comes into contact with will be what "someone" wants this person to see, and they are all pushed deliberately. This person finds it convenient, feels that it is what he wants to hear, what he wants, and as time goes by, he becomes more and more lazy to think, and then entrusts his brain to the party who pushes the information...
This is not something that is unique to later generations. As early as the Han Dynasty, these aristocratic families had already done this.
Confucius went from an ordinary person to the altar, which was established in the process of continuous push of information. The status of the Five Classics and Four Books was also produced by the shrinkage of the constant information cocoon. Wild tea is becoming less and less. There are naturally more and more canned wine...
Of course, the premise of doing this is to gather all the tongues, master all the right to speak, and control the export of all the world''s information, so that what you see, hear, and everything can only be sent to you if it meets the push standards. reach the audience.
On this point, Confucianism did a very good job in the subsequent feudal dynasties.
Imagine those immature children, those in a relatively closed environment, the information they come into contact with is deliberately selected and pushed, surrounded by the whole family at every turn, and then as time goes by, can How many people will be aware of this problem? Are you aware of it and willing to make a change?
The first thread of this information cocoon was actually produced in the Han Dynasty...
"Luofu likes sericulture, and the south corner of the mulberry-picking city..." Fei Qian continued, "Does Zheng Gong know that the silkworms are the first to know the beauty of mulberry leaves, or the mulberry is the first to know the beauty of silk?"
Zheng Xuan was silent for a long time, and then said: "The general insists on doing this, and he will definitely destroy thousands of wine cellars... Are you afraid that by then... there will be no wine to drink?"
Fei Qian laughed.
"Someone drinks tea."
The most precious essence of human beings is thinking, and the ability to think can lead to human progress!
What is said in this article may not all be correct and true, but you can think about yourself, examine yourself, and then get some nutrients, which is the author''s great honor!
Above, thank you again for your great support and love! ,
The little one is leaving...
