Her words made the middle-aged man embarrassed for a while, and then he said dejectedly, "This is also my fault. Father said that I don't have enough virtue and talent, so I can't enter his library, nor can I enter his door. Forget it, in terms of talent, knowledge, and moral character, I'm really not as good as father. "
"You! What's your status now? In ancient times, you would be a third-rank official — "
"Don't talk about this at home!" The middle-aged man interrupted his wife's words, "Father is an outstanding person, so he naturally wouldn't be wrong. He said that I'm not mature enough, so it must be so! As for the library, I can't enter it now, but one day when I'm mature enough, I will naturally be able to enter it! "
"You are simply a dead block of wood!" The woman snorted.
Qin Lang and Cai Yan had returned to the living room. When the woman heard her father-in-law's dry cough, she knew that it was time for her to make tea. Although she had unlimited glory in front of others, in this family, she was just an ordinary housewife.
Qin Lang didn't care about the taste of the tea. He was still talking about some important things with Cai Yan.
If it weren't for the small bottle of Tianxin Pills that Qin Lang gave out, perhaps Cai Yan would have directly omitted this conversation, and Qin Lang should have already left this courtyard house.
"Little friend, how did you find this place?" Cai Yan sighed and suddenly led the topic to the main topic.
"To be honest, I sensed the burst of the old man's Awe-Inspiring Righteousness." Qin Lang said, "But, sir, your Awe-Inspiring Righteousness shouldn't burst out easily. Could it be that you have encountered some injustice?"
The Awe-Inspiring Righteousness wouldn't burst out easily because Confucians cultivated Qi. If this Awe-Inspiring Righteousness was released easily, how could one cultivate?
Cai Yan sighed again and just put a newspaper in front of Qin Lang. Although it was called a newspaper, in fact, ordinary people couldn't see it. Because it was a newspaper issued by some special organizations, so the news in it was quite close to the truth, absolutely not groundless gossip.
But in this newspaper, it was about the necessity of banning Chinese medicine and Confucianism. This was quite a frightening title, but the key point was that this news could appear in an obvious position in the newspaper. This was a serious problem. No wonder Cai Yan was so angry. It was obvious that someone wanted to shake the foundation of Confucianism.
Qin Lang had heard about the news about banning Chinese medicine, but it seemed that he had never seen such news before, so he naturally paid more attention to it.
Although the title of this article was arrogant, the content of the article was not empty. Obviously, the person who published it also had some knowledge. This person mainly explained that Chinese medicine and Confucianism were the reasons that hindered the progress of the country's productivity through sociology, human evolution, and other disciplines. The final conclusion was that Hua Xia should unswervingly learn from the West, abandon the dross left over by history, and embark on the road of national rejuvenation and national strength.
The author's signature was a doctor, who was also a domestic education expert and an important figure in a department of the State Council.
No wonder Cai Yan was so angry. It could be seen that this newspaper must have caused some adverse reactions.
However, Qin Lang also had to admit that Confucianism and Confucianism had indeed developed to a very awkward point now. Because in the past, Confucianism paid attention to elite education. In previous dynasties, those who could become scholars and scholars must be regarded as social elites, so the status of Confucianism naturally rose. But now it was different. Now it was education for the whole people, and it did not matter whether they were elites or not. Although Confucianism still had some market, it was under the full impact of "Western learning" from the West. It was no longer the era of "Confucianism alone".
As for the abolition of Confucianism, Qin Lang thought that it was, of course, a wrong idea. The person who published this article had impure motives. Through the article, Qin Lang could feel that it was full of conspiracies and darkness —
"Hey, why would I have such an idea?" Qin Lang could not help but feel strange for having such an idea. It seemed that after entering the library of Confucianism, some wonderful changes had indeed happened to Qin Lang. Right now was one of them. He found that he seemed to be very good at reading and identifying articles.
This might be due to the influence of the sages' writings in the library of Confucianism. Those who could enter the library must be the treasures of the literature and the wonders of the culture. After Qin Lang "copied" these things into his mind, he naturally became particularly sensitive to some useless, conspiratorial, and useless articles. This was like a banknote counter in a bank, who came into contact with real banknotes every day. When he suddenly touched a counterfeit banknote, he could immediately sense the many flaws of the counterfeit banknote, even if others thought that the counterfeit banknote had reached the point where it could be passed off as genuine.
In short, after reading the article, Qin Lang immediately sensed that not only was the article false, but the arguments were also very far-fetched. Using foreign literature and science to explain the many inadequacies of "Sinology" was already very far-fetched. Therefore, although it seemed to be quoting from many sources, it was actually far-fetched.
"It's just a lousy article, it shouldn't affect anything." Qin Lang said calmly.
"I used to think so too, but later on I don't think so." Cai Yan shook his head. "Those who can read this newspaper are some of the upper echelons. If they are influenced by such an article for a long time, it is inevitable that they will make some wrong decisions. In the past, I always thought that Confucianism was the cornerstone of Hua Xia, and other miscellaneous studies were just icing on the cake. But later I realized that the situation was completely different from what I thought. Hua Xia's Confucianism has gradually lost its former status, and now it is like the setting sun in the west. "
"Aren't you being too pessimistic?" Qin Lang asked in a comforting tone.
"This is not being pessimistic, but looking on coldly from the sidelines. In fact, it is not only Confucianism, but also medicine, architecture, and even daily life. Today, the people of Hua Xia are basically completely westernized. It is not that Western learning is bad, and Western learning has also promoted the economic progress of Hua Xia. However, we learn Western learning to make Hua Xia's civilization more brilliant, and definitely not to assimilate Hua Xia's civilization into Western civilization. The current situation seems to have begun to put the cart before the horse. " Although Cai Yan was not young, his vision was extraordinary. He was not dim-sighted at all.
Cai Yan gave Qin Lang many examples, all of which allowed Qin Lang to have a feeling of dispelling the clouds and seeing the sun. He faintly felt that there might be some hidden conspiracy behind these phenomena.
