When it comes to Yanagishita Hui, "sitting in the air" is an inevitable topic. There have been several different versions of this topic in history.
First, in the Yuan Dynasty scholar Hu Bingwen's "Pure Prayer", it is recorded that on a cold night with heavy snowfall, Liu Xia Hui stayed in Dumen, coinciding with a beautiful woman who had nowhere to live. In the face of the weak woman who was shivering in the cold night, Yanagishita Was kind and kind, lest she frostbite, let him sit in his arms, untie his clothes, cover the woman's body, and protect her from the cold. The two spent the night following the rules and did not behave in any way that exceeded the etiquette.
Second, in Tao Zongyi's "Record of Quitting Cultivation" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it is recorded that "Liu Xia Hui stayed at Guomen at night, and a woman came to stay with him, fearing that he would freeze to death, and sit in his arms until dawn." ”
Third, in the summer when it was raining heavily, Yanagishita returned from a visit to a friend, and in order to avoid the rain, he rushed into an ancient temple. Suddenly, it was found that a young woman was drying her clothes naked in the temple. Liu Xia Hui hurriedly withdrew, came to the locust tree outside the temple, no matter how the women in the temple invited, Liu Xia Hui always refused to return to the temple, and sat under the locust tree until the rain stopped. Later, it was passed down as the story of "Yanagishita Hui sitting in the arms (locust) is not chaotic".
(Kei Yanagishita)
So, how high is the credibility of Yanagishita's sitting on the back?
First of all, "sitting still" is a historical story and legend, and there is no clear record in all the canonical history. For its provenance, it can be traced back to the hand of Mao Heng at the end of the Warring States period, and when he commented on the "AlleyBo", he told such a story, which mentioned the legend of Yanagisha Hui's "sitting and not chaotic".
Through a period of deduction and perfection, by the time of the Yuan Dynasty, this story has been clearly recorded. However, whether it is "Pure Seeking" or "Quitting Cultivation", it only quotes historical legends and does not indicate the source. The "Pure Seeking" is basically a textbook, which is a textbook specially written by Hu Bingwen for children receiving enlightenment teaching, mainly telling the stories of well-known historical figures in their study, handling affairs, and being human.
Secondly, if Yanagishita does have the idea of "sitting still", then who made this matter public?
It should not be Yanagishita Hui, although the two of them have nothing to do all night, there is no deviance, but the lone man and widow are alone in the room, and they hug each other for warmth, Yanagishita Hui also untied her clothes for the woman, which is said to be, I am afraid that there is a filth of the woman's innocence. Moreover, during the Spring and Autumn Period when Confucianism was prevalent. Yanagishita Hui, a disciplined person, would never publicize such a thing.
It should not be the woman, will she self-destruct her innocence and shake this ugly thing to the fore? Unless she's an idiot.
Besides, there is no way to prove the matter of "sitting in the air", and if you say it, you can only draw more and more black.
Since it is impossible for the two parties to say it, the authenticity of the matter is questionable.
(Sit tight)
Third, under the circumstances at that time, Yanagisha Hui had many ways to help women keep out the cold, and did not have to "sit in their arms".
There are many ways to help shivering women resist the cold. For example, go out and borrow clothing and other items to keep warm. For example, if you make a fire, the two of you can roast the fire while nagging, which can not only relieve loneliness in the long night, but also resist the cold, why not enjoy it? Why do you have to use the awkward and highly changeable way of "sitting in your arms"?
Of course, we do not doubt that Yanagishita Hui has noble sentiments and moral character, and if he is indeed in the state of "sitting in the arms", I believe that with his character and concentration, he will certainly be able to achieve "no chaos".
Such things are not uncommon in history. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao wanted to trap Guan Yu in injustice, and once imprisoned Liu Bei's wife and Guan Yu in the same room, but Guan Gong was bent on protecting his sister-in-law, holding a knife in front of the door, "waiting for Dan with a candle". Guan Yu's frank and frank gentlemanly behavior made Cao Cao deeply admire.
So, in Yanagishita's body, why is there a legend of "sitting in the arms and not messing up"?
We'll have to see what kind of person Yanagishita is.
(Mencius stills)
Liu Xia Hui was a native of the Lu state during the Spring and Autumn Period, whose original name was Zhan Yue, and his nickname was Hui, because his title was under Liu Xia, so posterity called him Liu Xia Hui.
Yanagishita has always been regarded as a moral benchmark for human beings, and this sage who occupies the moral high ground has been greatly praised by Confucius and Mencius. In the Analects, Confucius called him "the forgotten sage." Mencius, on the other hand, directly referred to Yanagisha hui as "the sum of the saints". He said, "The sage, the Master of the Hundred Ages, Bo Yi and Yanagishita Hui are also." Therefore, those who hear the wind of Boyi, the stubborn man is honest, and the coward has the will; the one who hears the wind of willow under the hui, Bo Fu Dun, and the contemptible husband kuan. ”
What will Yanagishita become a moral example for the world?
This is because he is a man of straight character, of high moral character, and of upright official integrity. The Analects reads: "Yanagishita Hui is a scholar, and the three deposes." Someone advised him to leave, "Zi Wei can go", Yanagishita Asked rhetorically, "Straight and do things, but not three times?" Why go to the land of parents? ”
The meaning of this passage is that when Liu Xiahui was a soldier in charge of prisons in Luguo, he was deposed three times because of his integrity and impartiality in enforcing the law, and he inevitably attracted people's envy. However, Yanagishita Hui did not think so, believing that as long as he insisted on doing things in a straight way, no matter where he was an official, he would inevitably be deposed, so why should he leave his motherland and hometown?
This "straight" quality of Yanagishita Not only demonstrates his noble virtue of handling affairs for officials, but also reflects his inherent integrity. Moreover, this quality and integrity is innate, flowing in the blood, and will not change with the changes in the external environment and its own status.
As Mencius commented, "Yanagishita Hui does not exchange the three gongs for his introduction." ”。 It is no wonder that Mencius called Liu Xiahui and Confucius, Boyi, and Yin Yi the "Four Saints".
Since Yanagisita has been labeled a saint, Confucianism needs such a moral example and model for future generations to admire and learn. Therefore, there is a legend of Yanagishita Hui".
