  Chapter 63 062 [Gate Theory]

  Zhao Han stood in the center of the debate and said loudly: "Why do I say that everyone is equal? ​​This is the teaching of the sages..."

   "Nonsense!"

  Bragging and rambling before, not only was it difficult to convince the public, but it aroused everyone's anger.

   Facing the scolding by the crowd, Zhao Han still smiled: "Excuse me, who has read "Zhu Zi Yu Lei?"

  A teacher named Chen Lide said: "The book of Zhu Zi must be read."

  Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "May I ask you, how did Zhu Zi think the first person was born at the beginning of the world?"

  Chen Lide replied: "Using qi to transform into life, two or five essences combine to form."

   "May I ask again, sir, is the number one person in the world, male or female?" Zhao Han tilted his head and looked at the other party.

  Chen Lide hesitated and said, "This...should be a man."

  Zhao Han laughed and said, "Zhu Zi never said that, did you guess it yourself?"

  Chen Lide evaded the question: "Mostly they are men."

Zhao Han ignored this person and said to many teachers and students: "Zhu Zi talked about the birth of the first person, but he didn't say whether it was a man or a woman. (Harmony) Yin and Yang interact, and the five qi are mixed. It can be male or female, not male. They are not women. Zhu Zi also said: Those who are the same have reason, and those who are different have qi. The five elements have their own nature..."

   "Everything in the world is born by adhering to the qi of yin and yang and the five elements, and they all have their own principles of heaven and earth. The same is true for people!"

   "Regardless of men and women, regardless of the emperor's relatives and common people, regardless of whether they are good or poor, they are all human beings."

"Since human beings are all sages, they are only blinded by the acquired turbidity when they are born. As long as the turbidity is washed away, one can perceive the principles of heaven. "Book of Rites" Gou Rixin, day by day, and day by day, is the same principle. " In Mencius, everyone can be Yao and Shun, and this is the reason. In "University", the way of great learning lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in ending in the ultimate good, this is also the reason."

   "Do you think so?"

  It is all the words of sages and sages, and there is no way to refute it.

  Zhao Han quoted "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", "Book of Rites", "Mencius", and "University", all of which said the same truth-everyone can become Yao and Shun.

   This is the way of university, the ultimate pursuit of ancient scholars.

   Opposing this statement is digging the foundation of Neo Confucianism, and even more so, digging the foundation of Confucianism.

  Zhao Han continued: "Since everyone can become Yao and Shun, and everyone can be a sage, isn't everyone equal? ​​Since everyone is equal, isn't men and women equal, all careers equal, good and bad equal?"

"I disagree!"

  A teacher stood up and said, "This is still a trick to confuse the public."

  Zhao Han laughed and said, "Where are you confusing the public?"

  This teacher said: "What the sages say is a gentleman."

Zhao Han looked confused: "In my opinion, the ancient and modern sages only agree that a gentleman is a person? A villain is not a person? A woman is not a person? A pariah is not a person? A craftsman is not a person?" Zhao Han laughed suddenly, "Say I insist Bai, Your Excellency is a white horse, not a horse, and a solid rock, not a rock!"

  The teacher asked sharply: "Could it be possible for women to send Yao and Shun?"

   "Could it be that women can't send Yao and Shun? Have the ancient and modern sages said this?" Zhao Han asked rhetorically.

   "Sages don't bother to preach such a simple truth." The teacher also began to mess around.

  Zhao Han laughed and said, "Since the sage didn't say it, then you made it up!"

  Suddenly, a child student stood up: "The sage said it. Confucius said: It's hard to raise a girl and a villain!"

  Zhao Han immediately ridiculed: "Your Excellency, have you really read "The Analects of Confucius"? This woman and villain refer specifically to the concubine who charms the lord! Do you dare to go home and tell your mother what you said just now?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

  Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

  The Tongsheng pointed at Zhao Han and said excitedly, "You are distorting Confucius' words!"

Zhao Han was a little speechless: "I'm too lazy to tell you, not only do you not read "The Analects", you also don't know Zhu Zi's annotations. Women and villains, especially refer to charming masters and concubines, that's what Zhu Zi said, I didn't make it up of."

  The boy hesitated to speak, looked around at the teachers and students, found that they were all holding back their laughter, and immediately sat down in shame.

  Three equality, the equality of good and bad is the most difficult to be accepted by the gentry.

  However, no one dares to refute the equality of good and bad, because that is against the principles of sages and sages.

   There is no way to refute the equality of all industries. Confucius admired Guan Zhong very much, and Guan Zhong was a businessman and other occupations—this is easy to be countered by Zhao Han.

   Then hold on to equality between men and women!

A scholar stood up and said: "Men are superior to women, and the husband is the guide for the wife. This is the most reasonable thing in the world. I am studying the "Book of Changes", and there is a saying in the corollary: Heaven is superior and the earth is inferior, and the universe is determined. It is also said that the way of doing makes a man, and the way of Kun makes a woman." .Isn’t this statement about heaven being respected and earth being humbled, and men being superior to women? Don’t argue anymore!”

  Good guy, Zhao Han finally got popular with the bayonet after talking for a long time.

  Cai Maode laughed suddenly, he wanted to see how Zhao Han would deal with it, this sentence was too lethal.

   "Yi" is the ancestor of the Hundred Classics, and "Xi Ci" was written by Confucius, which has long set the tone of "heaven is respected and earth is inferior, men are superior to women". All the thoughts of male superiority and female inferiority come from here!

  Fifty years ago, Li Zhi advocated equality between men and women, and he was also stunned by this sentence.

  How far is Li Zhi deviant?

  This gentleman directly pointed out that there are problems in the "Book of Changes", directly denying the existence of Tai Chi, and directly denying the existence of Tianli. He said that everything is born in two, it is the universe, it is male and female, the universe is equal, and men and women are equal. What Tai Chi, what heavenly principles, are all egg-pushing ghosts.

   There are countless admirers and countless haters!

  Zhao Han clasped his fists and said, "May I ask your honorable name?"

  The scholar was so hot-tempered that he reluctantly returned the salute, so he hurriedly said: "I am Liu Ziren, whose name is Changqing. Don't gossip, answer my question quickly!"

  This scholar is the "Brother Changqing" who shouted to rebel.

  Zhao Han is very smart, but he doesn't answer directly, but asks around the corner: "Feng Xun, the former magistrate of Qianshan Mountain, how is this person?"

  Liu Ziren sarcastically said: "If you don't have knowledge and skills, you are also a searcher."

  Zhao Han asked again: "He is a juren, you are a scholar. He is an official, you are a citizen. Is he honorable? Are you humble?"

Liu Ziren was furious: "How can we judge the superiority and inferiority like this? He and I are both scholars and citizens of the Ming Dynasty. There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority! I have a lofty heart and a clean conduct. He is ignorant and incapable of harming the people. When it comes to virtue, I am respected and he is humbled!"

   "Admiration, admiration!" Zhao Han bowed respectfully and smiled heartily.

  Liu Ziren said impatiently: "Quickly get back to the point, don't talk about it indiscriminately."

  Zhao Han did not dare to directly deny the "Book of Changes", and continued to make rounds: "If you judge superiority and inferiority by virtue, who is superior and who is inferior?"

   "Uh..." Liu Ziren was momentarily at a loss for words, and at the same time realized that he had fallen into the trap of Zhao Han's words.

  Zhao Hanqiong pursued and beat him fiercely: "Zhu Zi is a sage and a courtier. Is it Zhu Zizun, or the Hunjun Emperor of the Song Dynasty? Is it Zhu Zibei, or the Hunjun Emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

   "This, this, this..." Liu Ziren couldn't answer. He blushed and his neck was thick, and he said angrily, "You are talking about that hard-spoken language again. Don't drag it too far. Let's explain the "Book of Changes" clearly!"

  Zhao Han continued with a smile: "Zhu Zi is a sage, the emperor is the son of heaven. Confucius is a sage, and Zhou Tianzi is the son of heaven. Saints and sons of heaven, may I ask you, who is superior and who is inferior?"

   No one answered, no one dared to answer, no one could answer.

  Those with quick thinking, including Cai Maode, Fei Yuanlu, Pang Chunlai, Zheng Zhongkui, Zhu Zhiyu...all thoughtful, fearful and excited at the same time, feeling that something is about to pop out!

  Zhao Han stood tall, looking up at the sky, as if speaking to the sky:

   "The dignity of a saint lies in his virtues, which I call personality."

   "The honor of the Son of Heaven is in his position of power, which I call the human position."

   "The sage educates the people and leads the people to the king, Yao and Shun. This is the dignity of the personality. The emperor governs the people and controls the country. This is the dignity of the person!"

   "Heaven is respected and the earth is humble, in its place; heaven and earth are equal, in its style."

   "Men are superior to women, in their position; men and women are equal, in their position."

   "Scholars are respectful and the people are humble, in their position; all industries are equal, in their character."

   "The good, the honorable and the humble, are in their position; the good and the humble are equal, and their character is in their place."

  Zhao Han paced back and forth, and every time he took a step, he uttered a word, sonorous and powerful, deafening.

  "All people are born equal, not the equality of persons, but the equality of personality!"

  "The faint kings of all dynasties are honored but humble; the virtuous officials of all dynasties are humble but respected."

  "The cruel and tyrannical master is respected but humble; the loyal servant of benevolence and righteousness is humble and respected."

  “A husband who is incompetent and without virtue is honorable but humble; a wife who is virtuous and virtuous is humble but respectable.”

   "As far as personality is concerned, no matter whether you are a prince or a general, no matter how good or bad the people are, you are born equal!"

   "The dignity of personality should be regarded as its virtue."

  Zhao Han looked at everyone, and said firmly: "It's what I said, when it comes to personality, everyone is born equal!"

   "Boom!"

  The audience was in an uproar.

   It's chaotic, it's all chaotic, and I can't control the scene.

  Someone was hit in the face and had a good idea.

  Someone was trampled on his tail and cursed wildly.

   What Zhao Han said was earth-shattering, forcibly stripping status and personality. It is like a paw ding relieving an ox, without any hindrance, completely in line with the values ​​of Confucianism, and fully in line with the teachings of ancient and modern sages.

  He did not oppose Confucianism, Confucius and Mencius, or Cheng Zhu, but he knocked in a nail.

  A nail that can be accepted by the public.

  The bookboys present will think: Although I am only a domestic slave, I have a noble personality, which is hundreds of times stronger than the mentally handicapped master.

  The scholars present will think: Although I have no official status, I have a noble personality, which is hundreds of times stronger than corrupt officials.

  The officials present will think: Although I am not in the temple, I have a noble personality, hundreds of times stronger than the beasts of the Manchu Dynasty.

   Even the grassroots, as long as they have both ability and political integrity, they are more honorable than the emperor!

  There is another sentence that no one dares to think about, and even dare not say after thinking about it: What should I do if I don’t fit in?

  The cruel master, should he be overthrown?

  Greedy officials, should they be overthrown?

  The fatuous emperor, should he be overthrown?

   Having equal personalities, can we pursue equality in status?

   Shh!

   Be quiet, you haven't finished yet.

  The autumn wind suddenly blows, rolling the branches and leaves, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

  Zhao Han stopped suddenly, his clothes fluttered in the wind, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Masters, the way of learning lies in clear virtue, closeness to the people, and perfection!"

  Hong Zhong Da Lu, shaking people's hearts.

  Cai Maode, Zheng Zhongkui, Zhu Zhiyu, and Pang Chunlai stood up together, their faces full of shock.

  Fei Yuanlu clenched his sleeves tightly and murmured to himself: "You are so young, dare to say the last sentence, do you want to start a school?"

   Back then, Wang Yangming also started to attack from this sentence.
