Three Kingdoms

The Xun family said that this was a great initiative of the Xun family in ancient times, especially during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

During this period, knowledge was mastered by a small number of nobles, and ordinary people could not read a few characters, let alone know some skills in governing the country.

The Xun family is willing to teach their family knowledge to the outside world. No matter what the purpose is, at least in terms of spreading knowledge, the Xun family is indeed at the forefront.

Of course, there is still a certain gap between the Xun family and those cultural masters who open their doors to the public and treat everyone equally regardless of wealth or poverty, but they are much better than those guys who value their own money.

There are four old families and four new families in Yingchuan County. The four old families naturally include the Xun family, and the other three families are the Zhong family, the Han family, and the Chen family. These four families were already very famous at the time of Xun Shu, Zhong Hao, Han Shao, and Chen Shi. That is to say, in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, he had already become famous and had many high-ranking officials.

The four newer families are the Du family, the Guo family, the Zhao family and the Xin family.

As for others who are called Yingchuan House, they only claim it by themselves and have not been recognized by ordinary people.

Fei Qian can see this from where everyone is sitting during the Xun family's speech today.

On top of the incense-burning platform, the speaker's position is naturally located.

The table closest to the high platform is reserved for senior officials and senior citizens, and is usually left vacant.

A little further back, it was divided among the four major families. Basically, one family occupied one direction of the high platform, and sat in four directions: southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Then sat the members of the four newly emerged families...

As for those like Fei Qian, they can only sit in the back row, but there are still seats to sit on, such as the T-shaped room and those in the back. Basically, they can only stand and listen to the class. There are also those in the outermost circle. The children from a poor family can only wait until all the people in the Xun Family Villa have taken away the better seats at the front before opening the door to let the children from a poor family in...

Although there are many people, it is very quiet.

It was completely different from any public classes that Fei Qian had attended in later generations. Everyone was waiting quietly and no one was making any noise. It was not like the public classes in later generations where the noise was no different from a vegetable market before the teacher arrived.

Fei Qian, Zao Zhi and Ying Yu sat at the same table.

Yesterday when Fei Qian was playing with Zao Zhi, Ying Yu seemed to have gone to visit someone and went back to his room to sleep very late, so there was no communication.

Relatively speaking, Fei Qian and Zao Zhi are relatively close in age, and in terms of hobbies, they both like to eat... So relatively speaking, they are naturally closer than Ying Yu. .

Suddenly, Fei Qian heard a drum beating outside the door.

Then after about half the time of burning incense, the drum was beaten for the second time——

Oh, Fei Qian understands, this is similar to the preparation bell for class in later generations. It is estimated that the door will be closed after the third tom sounds...

Sure enough, after the third drumbeat, the Xun family closed the door, and those who were late or missed would probably not be able to get in.

After a while, I heard the ding-ding-ding tapping sound like the sound of a stone chime, and then the only sound of breathing could be heard in the already relatively quiet venue...

I saw a man with a crown on his head, wearing a moon-white long-sleeved robe, and a black cloak. He walked slowly amidst the sound of stone chimes, step by step, and walked up to the high platform.

Some of the people sitting at the front obviously recognized the person, and they seemed to be a little agitated out of the blue...

The supervisors standing at the four corners immediately shouted in unison to suppress the commotion.

Fei Qian didn't understand what was going on, so he touched Zao Zhi secretly, gestured with his eyes, and asked Zao Zhi if he knew what happened.

Zao Zhi secretly pointed at the people on the stage with his finger, and then made a sign with the word "or" on the mat...

Fei Qian thought about it for a moment. The person on the stage was called Xun or? Is there such a person in the Xun family? Why is there no impression of him?

No, Zao Zhi's gesture should be the word "彧", but the person who spoke for the first time today turned out to be Xun Yu! It's this awesome guy?

Fei Qian has the knowledge of later generations, and of course he thinks Xun Yu is a great man, but Xun Yu has not yet been evaluated by Cao Cao as "my son's wife", and he has no commendable achievements. Naturally, the rest of the people are not like Fei Qian So I agree with Xun Yu, so it is not surprising that there was commotion before.

Xun Yu sat on the high platform and had a panoramic view of the faces of all kinds of people below.

It can be said that what I talked about today is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will naturally become famous. If there is a slight mistake, let alone the reputation, the position of the next generation head of the family that Xun Shuang talked about yesterday may really become "perhaps"……

Xun Shuang's lecture this time is "Yi", so naturally Xun Yu can only lecture on "Yi", otherwise it would be too funny, just like if a great master of Chinese studies in later generations wants to give a lecture, let him first talk about "Yamei Dad" The opening was average.

Xun Yu took a deep breath and motioned to the servant on the side to put up a cloth flag on the stage.

The cloth flag has a white background, with six thick and powerful short horizontal lines drawn in black ink, like six black wooden sticks running parallel and horizontally, on the white cloth flag from top to bottom.

Xun Yu's clear voice sounded: "Now we will talk about Qian Gua."

"Gan Zhe, Yuan, Xiang, Li, Zhenye..."

"Yuan means beginning. Heng means Tong. Li means harmony. Zhen means Zhengye..."

Xun Yu's face was calm and his voice was steady and loud. Although Fei Qian was a short distance away from the high platform, he could hear it very clearly——

Xun Yu continued: "... Yuan means the growth of good deeds. Prosperity means the harmony of good deeds. Benefit means the harmony of righteousness. Chastity means the ability to do things. Good deeds are good enough to grow others. Jiahui means good. Those who are just and harmonious are enough to control things. Those who do things are enough to be trustworthy..."

Xun Yu continued to elaborate on his explanations and views on Yuan, Xiang, Li, and Zhen:

"...The things that are formed in the sky are Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen. It is said that heaven transports the four seasons to create all things. The things that are formed in the earth are benevolence, propriety, righteousness, and wisdom.

Yuan is good at growing up, so it can embody benevolence. Benevolence governs spring growth, and the tree in the east is also there.

Heng is a grand gathering, which is enough for the ceremony. The host of the ceremony is raised in summer, and the fire in the south is also there.

Benefit is suitable for things and is enough to harmonize justice. The righteous master Qiucheng is the gold of the West.

Zhen is responsible for doing things, and trust is based on wisdom. The wise master hides in winter, and the water in the north is also there.

Virtue carries things, and the five elements are interdependent, which is the merit of earth. The earth dwells in the middle palace and is divided into four seasons. It is also the king who is incapable of becoming the emperor, and is about to have the world. Water, fire, metal, and wood are neither earth nor earth. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom are not the rule of the emperor. Since the trust belongs to you, I will talk about it first. Then if you don't keep your word, it's clear.

The four conducts of a husband are the virtues of a king. Therefore, the beginning of the hexagram Qianguan and the table of contents show that the door to morality and justice lies here, just like the fifth beginning of the Spring and Autumn period.

The benevolence of the body is correct, so it transforms things; observing the movement and knowing the time, so it is in accordance with the sky; the use of Qi is appropriate, so it benefits the people; keeping one industry upright, so it is the custom.

If it is messed up, the etiquette will be ruined, and the teaching will be immoral; if it is reversed, it will not work when it is brushed; if it is wrong, it will hinder its use, and its work will be wasted; if it is forgotten, it will be wrong and its official will fail.

The Four Virtues were developed by King Wen. Those who made four mistakes were the reasons for the death of Shang Zhou. "

As soon as Xun Yu said this, everyone listening below couldn't help but burst into a loud uproar...
