Fan Zhongyan's helplessness
Qi Xuanwang met Mencius in his snow palace, which is probably a villa in Qi Xuanwang or something. Otherwise, Qi Xuanwang wouldn't proudly ask when he saw Mencius: Does the sage enjoy this?
As we all know, Mencius used the tactics of hitting snakes and sticking sticks. Qi Xuanwang likes to show off, but Mencius insisted on his benevolent policy with your stick, whether you show off or not. Those who enjoy the people, the people enjoy themselves; People have their worries, and people have their worries. Joy in the world, worry in the world, but not the king, nothing. ?
I don't know what these words of Mencius touched Qi Xuanwang, but at least I know that it is not of universal significance for later monarchs to enjoy worrying about their country and people. In the Song Dynasty, this moral requirement for kings was already declining, and it should be Fan Zhongyan, a scholar in China. Fan Zhongyan changed it in his Yueyang Tower? Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later? , sang his regrets about his career advancement and retreat, which caused many domestic literati to sing * * *.
This * * * sound, on the surface, is a China scholar-bureaucrat with the spirit and mind of the whole world in his chest. From the back, it is the helplessness and desolation that the scholar-officials can't grasp their own career advancement and retreat under the autocratic monarchy system! I can't grasp my own advance and retreat. This kind of heart is full of the spirit of the whole world and has some doubts about self-love. For example, Du Fu was too poor to support his children in his prime, and even too poor to live in a hut in his later years. In August and autumn, the wind roared and rolled up my three hairs? Well, I've felt the same way. When I was young, although it was already in the 1970s, almost every family in the village was still a hut. When it rains, the hut leaks and mud falls from the inside out. Even if you scrape it, you don't have to worry about being taken away by urchins, because at that time, the moral standard was high, you didn't pick up the road, and you didn't close the door at night! But that kind? Autumn wind and autumn rain are worrying? Our psychological feelings are the same. First, the house leaks, the clothes are thin, the body is cold, and the heart is colder. Both, immersed in the autumn rain, afraid of falling into the hut, sleeping at night and having nightmares! However, the same language as Du Gongbu's * * * only ends here. There are tens of millions of luxury houses in Ande, which greatly protect the poor people in the world from the spring breeze and the wind and rain! Oh! When I suddenly see this house in front of me, I will freeze to death alone! ? I don't have this realm. Because I was busy at that time, I sang at school every day? Our motherland is a garden, and everyone has a smile on his face? Well, especially the last sentence, I am suspected of planting. When have I ever laughed? It's killing me Perhaps this is the difference between a saint (poet) and a mortal. The saints themselves are freezing to death, and they are still thinking about the poor in the world; Mortals are afraid of freezing to death, so they are stingy with a smile.
Du Sheng's realm was later melted by Fan Zhongyan. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad for yourself, and live high in the temple, then worry about its people; If you stay away from the Jianghu, you will worry about your husband. Also worried about progress, but also worried about retreat; But when will you be happy? I have to say: Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later? Used at the end of rhetoric or questions.
He's finished making a mountain out of a molehill like this, which goes against Mencius' original intention, the national economy and people's livelihood, and the sufferings of the world have nothing to do with the emperor, but all on the literati!
Zhong Yan can bear hardships. 265,438+0 years old, went to Liquan Temple on Changbai Mountain to study. Every day, he only cooks a pot of thick porridge. After cooling, he divided it into four pieces, two in the morning and two in the evening, mixed with a little leek powder and added some salt. Even a meal! In junior high school, teachers and classmates often snickered at my Chinese teacher behind his back. It is said that he graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University. At that time, we belonged to the folk? Poor as a fool? None of us know what a university is, let alone Peking University. The Chinese teacher is a rightist who fights against poor villages. Every day we are faced with a bunch of idiots who can't do it, so he teaches only one trick: never explain the words, just ask us to endorse them! As for his way of eating, he is comparable to Master Fan. If teachers and students want to go to his room to drink some water, you should at least be mentally prepared: there is no dirty rice bowl in the world! He cooks once every few days, and a large pot of porridge cooks a lot of steamed buns. The number of steamed buns may exceed one class, approaching one row. He eats a bowl of porridge and a steamed corn bun every meal until it is completely eliminated. The rice bowls are thrown on the table one by one until all the rice bowls are used up. At that time, those fools were stupid, but they couldn't accept the army's eating, and they couldn't help secretly laughing at him behind his back. After reading the story of Zhong You, it is completely understandable that my right-wing teacher who graduated from Peking University and was beaten to the countryside turned out to be a Zhong You-style figure. Unfortunately, he was not as famous as Zhong Yan, and died silently in our rural middle school.
Zhong You later studied in Yingtianfu Academy, one of the four famous academies in Song Dynasty, and was a poor student. Fortunately, at that time, the universities in China had not implemented the merger system, and there were no tuition and fees. So, Zhong You studied hard for five years and won the Jinshi.
Later, Zhong You came to the Central Committee as a proofreader of the Secret Pavilion (the Secret Pavilion is one of the royal libraries, and the proofreader is responsible for sorting and collating books). He is particularly satisfied with his salary. My official position is very small and my salary is not much, but I also have 300 copper coins every year, which is equivalent to the annual harvest of 2000 mu of land. ? But Zhong You can keep his ambition if he is poor, but he is uneasy if he is rich. His heart is still filled with the people's livelihood in the world, which doomed his life to be miserable, worrying about advancing and retreating, worrying about the people for the officials, not worrying about the officials. There will never be a happy day.
In my opinion, it is better to be an official than to do business. Owen, for example, is more practical, using the money he earned from opening a factory to conduct experiments on the new harmony of capitalism. Therefore, Du Gongbu should do real estate and make many comfortable homes, with red bricks and blue tiles of the same color, and be alone. How nice! As for Fan Zhongyan, he is suitable to be a master of comic sketches, worrying about CCTV Spring Festival Evening every year and making the people of the whole country happy once a year. Is it true? Worry about the world first, joy after the world? Right?
As far as moral realm is concerned, Fan Du is high. But I think it is expensive and boring! You regard the world as your home, the people as livestock, and the ministers as pastors. No matter how tall the shepherd boy is, he just flicks his whip and then gently puts it down. It can't change the nature of people becoming livestock. The shepherd boy himself, in the emperor's house, is at most a domestic slave. No matter how affectionate you are, you just want to get a grateful look from the livestock. So what? Zhong You also carried out reforms, which was a famous celebration of Li's New Deal in history, but in the end he gave up halfway. ? A family crying is better than a group of people crying! ?
In short, you are affectionate, but the ruler is ungrateful!
Interestingly, Zhong You was an official all his life and was demoted three times. The more he is demoted, the higher his reputation. When he was exiled for the first time, his relatives and friends kept sending him outside the capital to praise him. Aurora is on this trip? . When I was demoted for the third time, I was comforted by someone who said that this trip was particularly bright. . Zhong Yan laughed when he heard this. There are three lights before and after the smoke. ? It seems that it has become the glory of literati to delegate power to the Rightists, so literati have no intention to build their own security fortress. Therefore, their thoughts will never be derailed, and they will always be a pawn on the royal chessboard. Their so-called reform will always be confined to the system, and the feudal system and system will always be stable. As a result, evil is rewarded with evil, a bad king makes a good minister, and the loyalty and sadness of literati has become the eternal touch of the people.
