Shangcai Wenyuan | Yang Zhoujing, president of the Cai Cultural Research Association: A generation of grandmasters Xie Liangzuo (IV Epilogue

Confucianism, founded by Confucius, originated from the Zhou Gong and the three generations of Li Le, with benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom as the main ideological system, and in the Han Dynasty, "deposed hundreds of families and respected Confucianism alone", Confucianism achieved an orthodox position in society. However, the tradition of Han and Tang Confucianism is based on exegesis, focusing on the interpretation of the classics of the Five Classics. Most researchers follow the rules, often exhausting the scriptures and neglecting to break the notes, making the development of Confucianism stagnant. During the Two Song Dynasties, the development of Confucianism ushered in an unprecedented peak, and a number of Confucian scholars and many schools such as Guan Luolian and Min emerged. The various streams competed, and hundreds of schools of thought competed, and the interpretation of Confucian classics was particularly important to the Four Books. The Confucian masters represented by the "Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty" talked about the principle of heaven and earth and all things, paid attention to the analysis of righteousness, and made philosophical interpretations on the basis of predecessors, so they were called Science of Science, also known as Taoism, to Zhu Xi's collection of its great achievements, also known as Cheng Zhu Lixue. Between the "Second Journey" and Zhu Xi, inheriting the past and opening up the future, it is Xie Liangzuo, the son of Shangcai Fuzi, who plays the role of a bridge. Xie Liangzuo worshiped Ercheng as his teacher, and Cheng Hao called him "Zhan Tuo"; Cheng Yi praised him for his "contemplation" and praised him as "the study of cutting questions and close thoughts"; Zhu Xi called him "wise and decisive, powerful and tireless." For example, "to discuss benevolence with business, to be sincere with practical theory, to discuss respect with constant feelings, and to discuss poverty in order to seek truth," his destiny is exquisite, and he is able to teach the fa; Lü Zuqian called him "determined in his heart." In his writings on the Analects and quotations, the classics of his study, morality, karma, knowledge, and discernment are all self-enlightenment. Academic purity, but also the glorification of Confucianism, later scholars flocked to it. Zhu Xi, the master of the collection, not only twice proofread the three volumes of the "Quotations" and wrote them down for them, but also spent a lot of time quoting the chapters and sentences in Xie Fuzi's "Analects of the Analects" in books such as "Four Books of Chapters and Sentences", "Zhuzi Language", and "On Meng Jingyi" and enjoyed it tirelessly, which is enough to prove the charm of Xie Fuzi's exquisite theory. The reason why Xie Liangzuo is a master lies in innovation in the inheritance, what is not said by the predecessors, what the predecessors have never said, and the revolution is new and new, and it is a family of its own. In the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, Rigaku was enshrined as the ruling ideology of the state, and Xie Liangzuo's theory of rigaku was highly respected. During this period, the XieFuzi Ancestral Hall and the Shangcai Academy, which were built in various places, were repeatedly destroyed and renewed. Only "Quotations of Mr. Shangcai" has been handed down throughout the country in dozens of engravings, and there are countless reporters who study and proofread and preface to the work. During the Daoguang period, initiated by Shangcai County, Pan Duo, the governor of Henan, served as the emperor to take the Song minister Xie Liangzuo from the Temple of Ancestral Literature. On the day of the presentation, the Daoguang Emperor wrote a royal approval: "Approve the ceremonial department to discuss the music, and admire this." "Rebbe Fengzhicao" Xie Liangzuo folded from the Temple of Ancestral Literature "On the same day, Daoguang Zhen approved" according to the discussion, qin this. The rapid speed of the performance of the batch of time shows the attention and respect of the Daoguang Emperor, Xie Liangzuo from the East Temple of the Ancestral Temple, and the side of yang Shi, a close friend of the same window. The Temple of Confucius from the Temple of Confucius is the highest pursuit of the ancient Confucians, that is, the completion of merit. The Temple of Literature is a temple dedicated to Confucius and the dissemination of Confucian thought, from which the Temple of Literature is worthy of the Temple of Confucius and accepts the worship of all generations. Non-sages and confucians, those who have the honor of the grandmaster and the special honor of Dehua can not be congregated to the temple, and the ancient wenchen mo does not regard the temple of Confucius as the greatest honor in his life. The Temple of Confucius is a national cultural festival and the highest praise for the courtiers. For more than 2,000 years, there were only 164 people from the Temple of Confucius, all of whom were Shuo Confucian sages. There are six cai from the ancestors, of which the three sons of the Qi carved clan, Qin Ran, and Cao Yu are all listed as the ancestors of confucius, and Xie Liangzuo is listed as the first Confucian. For more than two hundred years in the Qing Dynasty, only four people were selected to enter the qing dynasty, and there was no such ceremony after the Qing Dynasty. Eight hundred years later, a sage, across time and space, stepped into the altar, and came belatedly, which shows that history has not insulted the predecessors. This is the convention of civilization, the position of conscience, the choice of the royal way, the conclusion of history, and it is also a monument to immortality. I would like to congratulate you on the translation of Mr. Shangcai's quotations. June 8, 2021 Pen ended in Shangcai

"Translation of Mr. Shangcai's Quotations" Postscript Master Zhu Guangqian once said: "Focusing on the reality of history is actually focusing on the connection between history and life. "The publication of "Translation of Mr. Shangcai's Quotations" coincides with the opportunity to comprehensively revive the traditional culture of the national policy Buda. Carrying forward and inheriting excellent classical culture has opened up unlimited space for a generation of newcomers to approach the sages; Xie Liang's study of asking close thoughts, exhausting reason, and seeking truth is not only the norm of the ancestors, but also a model for later learning; Xie Fuzi's vigorous and arrogant quotations and the character of being well-nourished and upright can be regarded as a teacher of hundreds of generations. At the beginning of the editing, when I first studied the "Quotations", I was full of doubts and could not be caught off guard; I could not see the beginnings after reading the classics; I studied the edition in detail, intensively cultivated the preface, and began to know chengxu; the quotations of the "Analects of the Sayings" were compiled from the "Notes on the Four Books" and "Zhuzi Languages" and other books, and I saw the general situation; and until I read through the "Shangcai Xue Case" and the "Xie Family Genealogy", the whole picture appeared, the system was finally bright and transparent, and suddenly cheerful. Systematicness is the standout feature of this book. During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Zupei, a Henan Shangcheng man who had served as the four Shangshu and was then called "Xiangguo", said in the "Preface to the Quotations of Shangcai": "Pei sheng is a state, go to the world of Mr. far away, and go to Mr. Nearby." Mr. Yu's suicide note could not be published, and Yu was ashamed, or the shame of the people in Zhongzhou. Mu Junzhongcheng (Inspector Pan Duo of Henan) thus expressed his title. First, at the request of the Temple of Ancestral Literature, fu the township ancestral collection of the book to re-school, so that it respects the first Confucianism and then the scholars, and the people's hearts are weathered and maintained." The sages and police officers are in the ears, carrying forward the culture of the township, and the Cai people of my generation should have a well-deserved responsibility, which is the motivation for the preparation of this book. The compilation of this book was fully assisted by many parties: at the beginning of the collection, Mr. Mao Defu, vice chairman of the Henan Provincial Committee of the China Democratic League, director of the Culture and History Committee of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and professor of Zheng University, first reviewed it. Mr. Wang Gang, the former president of Wenxin Publishing House, the literature collation, and the senior editor Mr. Wang Gang, gave pertinent, appropriate, and authoritative guidance on structure, blueprint, proofreading, etc. Mr. Zhang Xiansheng, the former deputy editor-in-chief and senior editor of the Zhongzhou Ancient Books Society, has paid close attention to him over the years, or edited, or made a preface, or a guide, rigorous and down-to-earth, and often has a little eye-catching; Mr. Li Zuzhe personally is responsible for the editor, surveying and deliberating, and the hard work goes without saying. The friendship of help, as well as the teacher and the friend, is frightening. Yingcheng, Shichi, Shangcai Shizhi, Zhejiang Yongjia, Huangyan, Linhai Xie clan relatives, all cherished and generously dedicated, Shangcai County leaders fully supported. Here, my colleagues of all generations would like to express our deep gratitude. The compilation of "Translation of Mr. Shangcai's Quotations" is due to the complexity of the information, the difficulty of screening and deletion, coupled with the limited level, and the haste, so it is inevitable that there are Lu Yuhai and mistaken recognition of Yan Biao in the book, and I implore the Fang family to criticize and correct it.
