Chapter 236 "Shang Shu"

Without waiting for someone to talk, the other table analyzed it first: "Hey! Meishan's products are all registered with the palace and the officials have sent word. You think Meishan's rose-glazed plum vase, glazed large plum vase, etc.

Is the palace lantern a free gift? The method used by the internal officials is to deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors. If the superiors and inferiors are accessible, there will be no room for them to manipulate me."

"This dear friend is right. Where is Meishan? Zhang Xueshi was an official there. The snow salt produced in the mausoleum was as high as the mountains and the sea, and the court got half of it. Today's Fushun Supervisor relies on Zhuo

Tsutsui technology. This is the overall financial situation. Meishan is under the protection of Zhang Xueshi. How dare the internal officials do anything?"

"I heard that the new Zhao Zhizhou is good. He is an iron-faced censor. Even the prime minister is not afraid of him. He shouldn't be afraid of a few internal officials, right?"

"If you ask me, the internal officials are pretty good, but the atmosphere in the officialdom in central Sichuan is terrible!"

It was another table who shouted loudly: "When there is a new year or festival, it is called 'Tongxi'. When a new official takes office, it is called 'Jiefeng'. When returning from office, it is called 'Farewell'."

, there are happy events between prefectures and counties, which are called "congratulations". Birthday celebrations, weddings, funerals, camps, and land purchases in the governor's family must be expressed. When the minister's money is used up, where will the rest come from? It's not from

We merchants are scratched?!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly became furious: "That's right! This is beyond the bounds! Something happened on the Jingjing River. The Jingjing Supervisor left his post and returned to Beijing to wait for the ministers. This kind of weak official actually asked us to join him and call him 'Gai Jing'

!”

I saw an old man standing up and holding his hands: "Everyone, don't discuss the government, don't discuss the country, yes, you have never suffered a loss, but I... alas..."

This is also a man with a story, so someone handed him over and said, "Dad, if you have any troubles, you can just pour them out."

The old man said: "Everyone, in the four officialdoms, treating guests and giving gifts has been a long-standing practice and has long been commonplace. Senior officials must curry favor with their courtiers to pave the way for future promotions; prefectures and counties must maintain emotional ties and establish intricate relationships;

But the petty officials regard this as a way to make money, extorting money and enriching their own pockets."

"All prefectures and counties must give each other festival wine and local products during the four seasons and eight festivals."

"These things are all included in the official errands, and the time limit is tighter than that of the real yamen... Also, it is a festive gift. If you can't deliver it before this festival, you are breaking the etiquette."

"I'm from Suizhou, and everyone should know that we produce cane sugar there. It was also my son who had a bad year, and he deserved to have bad luck with the government. As a result, something happened on the way and he was hit by a flash flood."

"The man escaped, but the job is over, and he is still in prison now... Not to mention the compensation, the most important thing is that he hurt the official's face, and I don't know how much more treatment was needed to get him out of prison.

Redemption...sigh..."

Zhao Pian peeled the melon seeds gently, and the old god was listening to all kinds of rumors, his eyes became deeper and deeper.

…

Even with Su Xiaomei's help, Su You is even busier now, because after school in the afternoon, he has one more place to go, and now he has to go to both sides of the city.

It's not that he has a good reputation as an old man. Zhao Zhizhou once said: "It's soft, tender and plump. You can make it when it's available. There are different shades, so you need to adjust and supplement it appropriately. I haven't been to Chengdu, and I don't know the essence of food and drink in this world."

To put it bluntly, it’s all about the food.

This remark was a slip of the tongue. The old man was an expert in calligraphy. He criticized Su You, saying that he had learned calligraphy too early and had developed a weakness.

So the old man's real reason is to correct his problem, and Su You will make a fortune.

Then Su You felt that the old man was tricking him, because now every day, in addition to Lao Zhang's instructions, he also had to help Lao Zhao transcribe the information collected here.

The old man was ambitious and wanted to publish a "Chronicles of Chengdu Ancient and Modern Times", preparing to go beyond the "Huayang Guozhi" written by Chang Xu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the "Chronicles of Chengdu" written by Lu Qiu of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to record "the interests, sentiments, customs, likes and dislikes of Shu" , "As for the seclusion of immortals, the number of skills and arts, the residences of sages, names on tablets, and various things", it is also necessary to "collect the past and the present."

Then the old one and the young one started fighting each other all day long.

The reason is the old man's idea of ​​governing books.

The old man did not intend to start with the era of the ancient Shu kings. His reason was: "It does not start with the silkworm bush, but with the Yong Shu in the "Mushu Oath", which is also based on the classics."

His reason is that the Chronicle of Cancong is too old and has no historical evidence, so he would rather believe in the Confucian classics and question Yang Xiong's "The Chronicles of the King of Shu", thinking that it can only be used as a reference at most. The so-called "Yang Xiong Chronicles," I can't abandon it, I'm just taking it."

Su You was dissatisfied, and the "Oath of Mu" came from the Confucian classic "Shang Shu". It was a message written by King Wu of Zhou Dynasty to attack King Zhou of Shang Dynasty in Muye. This suddenly pushed the starting point of ancient Shu history to the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty!

Although I don’t know what’s wrong with it, the older the hometown is, the more superior it is, but Sichuan people just can’t stand it!

The problem is that my knowledge is not sophisticated yet, and the few classics I quoted cannot really refute Zhao Da's research.

Zhao Bian has never used his age or official position to overwhelm others. He will discuss knowledge with you in a serious manner, quoting scriptures, making eloquent arguments, crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing, and crushing. Suyou was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped up and smoked, and went to dig Sanxingdui to dig up the Jinsha ruins in advance. , smashed the golden mask against Lao Zhao, and the thief smiled with heart on his face.

In his final rage, Su You turned his gun and began to question the authenticity of "Shang Shu". As long as the authority of "Shang Shu" was destroyed, the two of them could return to the same starting line.

…

"Shangshu" was originally called "Shangshu". Later, there were three explanations for why the word "Shang" was added.

Up Shangtong.

One theory is that "Shang" means "ancient";

One theory is that "Shang" means "reverence";

There is also a theory that "Shang" means "Jun Shang".

When was this word added? One refers to Confucius and the other refers to the Han Dynasty. This issue has been studied until the 21st century.

In any case, this book is said to be a legacy of the ancient "Three Tombs and Five Codes" and is one of the most important canons of Confucianism.

"Hanshu Yiwenzhi" says that in the pre-Qin period, there were many remaining official documents similar to Shangshu style, thousands of them.

Confucius was afraid that his descendants would be too tired to read them all, so he selected a hundred chapters and arranged them in chronological order.

Recorded the canons, mo, xun, edicts, oaths, orders and other documents of the Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and wrote a preface to them.

This is the first version of Shangshu.

How important is this book? A simple example is "Shang Shu Dayu Mo": "The human heart is only dangerous, the Taoist heart is only weak; the essence is only one, and the right to hold it is in the middle."

This is the famous "Sixteen-Character Heart Biography" in Chinese culture. It is the earliest and core thing in the culture of the Chinese nation and can be called the soul of the nation.

In the Qin Dynasty, books were burned and Confucianism was enslaved, resulting in the loss of a large number of Confucian classics. The first version of "Shangshu" was lost.

Fortunately, there was a doctor named Fu Sheng in the Qin State who specialized in "Shang Shu". In the Western Han Dynasty, Fu Sheng handed down twenty-eight chapters. These chapters were written in Han Dynasty characters, so they were called "Jinwen Shangshu".

This is the second version of Shangshu.

After several generations, it was passed down to Ouyang Gao, Daxia Housheng, and Xiaoxiahou Jian. Since then, the three families have been passing on the book.

At the end of Emperor Wu's reign, the King of the Communist Party of Lu demolished Confucius' residence and discovered another "Shang Shu", which was written in ancient characters, so it was called "Gu Wen Shangshu".

Later, this "Gu Wen Shangshu" was acquired by Kong Anguo, a descendant of Confucius. He wrote this "Gu Wen Shangshu" into official script according to the shape of ancient characters, so it is also called the Ligu Dingben.

According to "Hanshu Yiwenzhi", compared with the "Jinwen Shangshu" written by Ouyang and Xiao Xiahou, there are four differences between this "Guwen Shangshu" and "Jinwen Shangshu": first, there are sixteen more articles; second, there are dozens of missing characters; third,

There are more than 700 different texts; four, they are all written in ancient characters.

There are sixteen more chapters than "Jinwen Shangshu", which can not but be said to be an unexpected surprise.

This is the third version of Shangshu.
