The scholarly faction had eight branches, and now only seven were left. To outsiders, the scholarly faction seemed to be a single entity.
However, in the eyes of the Confucians, they were clearly separated from each other, especially Xun Zi's faction, which was incompatible with the others.
To be more precise, Xun Zi didn't have a good relationship with the Hundred Schools of Philosophy because he had scolded them all before. If it weren't for his high status, he would have been attacked long ago.
Therefore, Xun Zi was talking nonsense when he said that he didn't know martial arts!
He didn't know martial arts and was beaten to death when he was young.
As a result, Gao Jing's relationship with the other factions of the scholarly faction wasn't very close.
As Xun Zi's disciples, Han Fei and Li Si were naturally the same.
……
Confucianism was constantly developing, and the study of the heart could be said to be the culmination of Confucianism.
The Confucianists of the Pre-Qin Dynasty had to restrain themselves and cultivate their moral character, emphasizing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. Only after Dong Zhongshu absorbed all the other schools of thought and only respected Confucianism did the Confucianists begin to seek "inner things" like the Taoists.
When the Buddhist sects of the Tang Dynasty moved eastward, they found that many Buddhist teachings could not be translated. The Confucians realized that their culture was lacking, so they began to integrate them into Buddhism.
In the Song Dynasty, after Confucianism merged with Taoism and Buddhism, it opened up the path of Confucianism and began to seek "reason", heavenly principles, and giri.
Whether it was Zhu Xi, Lu Jiuyuan, or the Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty, without exception, they all had the experience of studying Buddhism for more than ten years.
Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty made Lu Jiuyuan's " mind is reason " into a concrete form, forming the " study of the mind ".
The difference of more than two thousand years was due to Master Xun's high state of mind, deep wisdom, and broad-mindedness.
Han Fei and Li Si, for example, got nothing.
……
Two years passed.
Gao Jing had finally learned all 33 languages…Of course, he only recorded them in the book.
He himself only focused on the seven languages, and the rest was just to familiarize himself with them. When he needed them, he could just flip through the books and have them.
Gao Jing even took some time to go to the library and spent more than half a year to record hundreds of thousands of books into the book.
The Little Sage Manor was once Jixia Learning Palace. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy had once gathered here to discuss the Dao and collect all the books of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
Although the Qi Kingdom had been destroyed once and a portion of the ancient books were missing, it was the place with the richest collection of books among the seven kingdoms.
In short, from now on, Gao Jing no longer needed to read heavy bamboo slips.
As long as he opened the book, everything about the Little Sage Manor was in it.
Moreover, through this book, Gao Jing could easily "read" the realm of thought that the author wanted to express.
……
"Yu left the Nine States, dredged the rivers with the mountains, and made the land pay tribute. Yu laid the earth, followed the mountains and cut the trees, and built the mountains and rivers…"
Gao Jing sat up straight and read aloud.
His body was very upright. When his body was upright, his breathing would be much smoother, and his mentality would naturally be upright.
Now, Gao Jing was very focused when he was studying, and his distracting thoughts were gradually decreasing.
Once a person was focused, their memory and thinking ability would also improve.
With fewer distracting thoughts, one's mind would become pure, and one's perception and comprehension would also increase.
There was a movie called " Endless." In it, there was a medicine that could allow one to learn skills that others would take years or decades to learn in a few days.
This medicine made one's mind highly focused and extremely focused!
However, an ordinary person's mind was limited. If one's mind was too focused, it would lead to excessive distraction. Therefore, when the protagonist did not take the medicine, his mind would be scattered and he would not even know what he had done.
Gao Jing would not be like this.
Sincerity was a gradual process. As his concentration increased, his spirit also increased.
Moreover,"sincerity" was accompanied by "correcting one's heart". One's heart was pure and only focused on "one heart".
When he reached the Path of Sincerity, it would be like taking drugs in movies, but there would be no side effects!
……
"Yu divided the boundaries of the land, walking on high mountains and cutting down trees as signposts, using high mountains and rivers to establish the boundaries!”
Han Fei's voice interrupted Gao Jing's reading.
Gao Jing put down his book and turned around, only to see Han Fei walking over with a wine pot and saying,""Greetings, Little Uncle-Master."
Instead of bowing, he sat down.
Gao Jing's heart began to straighten, and his mind was gradually becoming pure. He didn't need to straighten himself, so he naturally didn't care about these formalities. He looked at Han Fei and said,""You are explaining the meaning according to the words, but from what I read, there is something deeper.”
Han Fei took a sip of wine and asked curiously,""What are you hiding?"
" I don't know..." Gao Jing pondered and said,""Yu the Great measured the world with his footprints and sealed the nine prefectures. His footprints were all over the mountains and rivers…He walked along the mountains, rivers, and earth veins…I think there's probably a set of Yu Steps hidden in Yu Gong!”
Hahaha…Han Fei laughed and said,""If I can really learn from the Book of History. To comprehend a set of footwork from Yu Gong, Youngest Uncle was truly unprecedented!”
"I can't comprehend it. It's just a feeling.”Gao Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly." In the end, it's because I'm not sincere enough. My heart is not upright enough!"”
Han Fei was speechless." Youngest Uncle, you're too demanding…The Book of History only talks about the essence and uniqueness. As for the other knowledge, you just need to know it. Why bother to delve into it?”
Gao Jing shook his head." You and I have different goals. You specialize in law and you want to save Korea…"
Gao Jing suddenly stopped talking and looked at Han Fei carefully. His increasingly pure mind seemed to have noticed something.
Han Fei looked down at himself and asked curiously,""Little Uncle-Master, why are you looking at me like that?"
Gao Jing looked at him strangely and said,"You entered a meditative state?"”
Han Fei immediately said proudly, I had a dream last night. I accidentally stepped into the river of time and realized something…
It is said in the Doctrine of the mean that the most sincere way can be known in advance!
Gao Jing couldn't maintain his state of mind. He was envious and jealous. He gritted his teeth and said,"Do you see your own death?"
After saying that, Gao Jing immediately regretted it. He gathered his thoughts and recited," Cultivating one's moral character is to correct one's heart. If there is anger in one's body, one will not be able to correct it. If there is fear, one will not be able to correct it…"
Her heart, which she had finally managed to calm down, was almost thrown into chaos again!
