    Yunyao cooked delicious food every day, and Confucius gave her lessons.

    Confucius did not teach Yunyao how to govern a country. After all, women did not have the opportunity to govern a country. He only taught Yunyao aesthetics, basically talking about the Book of Songs and music, and that was it.  He did not think that women needed to learn the content of governing the country and ensuring peace of the country. Fortunately, Yunyao was indeed not interested in Confucius's political opinions, but she still hoped to listen to Confucius talk about "Yi".

    After all, Confucius's philosophical thoughts were all in the "Book of Changes", so after listening to the Book of Songs and music for almost a year, and finding that there was nothing new about Confucius, Yunyao boldly suggested: "Teacher, I already know the content of the Book of Songs by heart.  I also know the principles of music very well, and I asked Master to teach me the Book of Changes." Yunyao had a full stomach of "Book of Changes" in the literal sense.  Because the three bamboo slips in the homeland of the human race, "Bagua", "Lianshan Yi" and "Gui Zang Yi" have all been eaten by Yunyao. These three sets of bamboo slips all belong to the category of "Yi", so I hope Master will explain it carefully.

    When Zilu heard this, he felt that Yunyao was bragging. Zigong frowned at the side, obviously thinking that Yunyao was too arrogant. He wanted to learn Yi after just one year?  They haven¡¯t learned it after decades of entry.

    Yan Hui had already learned it, but he had not learned it completely. He was helping Confucius compile the "Book of Changes".

    Confucius looked at Yunyao and remembered what he said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Those who are close will not be inferior, and those who are far away will be resentful."  I have given Yunyao a good look this year, so she dares to make demands now!  This means that being close is not disrespectful, that is, it is impolite to get close to someone, you do not follow the rules, and you have to make demands.

    "The content of "The Book of Songs" is extensive and profound. Memorizing it reciting it is not enough, you also need to understand it." To learn and use it flexibly, the "Book of Songs" can also be regarded as an allusion, so the exchanges between intellectuals often take "quotes out of context" and express themselves through the Book of Songs.  current situation.

    For example, when Confucius was trapped in Chen Cai, he used verses from the Book of Songs to express his own troubles.

    In the future, there will be "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and you will not be afraid to travel all over the world." In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was "Learn the Book of Songs well and you will not be afraid to travel all over the world." Even in diplomatic situations, the Book of Songs is used as diplomatic rhetoric.

    "I understand. The Book of Songs is actually a summary of what people do in the world. When we study the Book of Songs now, we are actually not only learning history, but also learning a standard. For example, the State of Lu has chopsticks, and the State of Chu has chopsticks.  If people from Lu and Chu meet each other, one wants chopsticks and the other wants chopsticks. They obviously want the same thing but they talk like a duck. But if the Book of Songs is used as the standard, then it is not chopsticks but chopsticks." Yunyao Yao.  She found that Confucius and Zilu were stunned, obviously shocked by her understanding, but Yunyao hadn't finished speaking yet and continued: "Teacher is now editing the Book of Songs and deleting some content to compile the Three Hundred Poems.  In fact, it is also to narrow the differences and unify the standards, so as not to contain both chopsticks and chopsticks, so that the "Book of Songs" will lose its reference value. This is what the teacher calls 'correction of the name'."

    Yunyao said that she knew the "Book of Songs" too well, because she didn't have "Three Hundred Poems" but "Three Thousand Poems" in her hand.  Although there is a lot of content, it is so messy that it is impossible for everyone to use "Three Thousand Poems" as a standard to communicate.

    The country is getting bigger and bigger, and the culture is becoming more and more divergent. The same thing has different names. As a result, people from different regions cannot communicate when they meet.  Nowadays, it is difficult to accurately communicate between different countries if we only rely on "Yayan", because in the process of using Yayan, new words are constantly being added, but after adding the words, the world cannot update these new words together.  Vocabulary will lead to the state of Lu having chopsticks and the state of Chu having chopsticks.

    At this time, a standard is needed. Is it based on the elegant language of the state of Lu or the elegant language of the state of Chu?  Obviously, if you choose one of the two, it is not the best answer and will cause dissatisfaction with Lu or Chu.  So it is based on the Book of Songs, because the Book of Songs can be popular all over the world and can be used as a standard for the whole world.

    So if someone in Chu quoted the word chopsticks in the Book of Songs, people in Chu would know that he was talking about chopsticks.

    "The Book of Songs" is a set of standard terms for communication in different regions, so there can be no differences and must be unified.

    Yunyao said that this understanding goes far beyond the Book of Songs itself, but speaks of the deep role of the Book of Songs in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is not just about understanding the Book of Songs, it is already analyzing and deconstructing it.  At the same time, I have also understood Confucius' thought of "rectifying names".

    The purpose of correcting names is to make society function more smoothly and harmoniously.

    Confucius did not expect that this female disciple would be so perceptive. In one year, he would understand him better than other disciples, and she could explain it clearly in such straightforward terms. To be honest, Confucius himself only thought that the "Book of Songs" was very important, but he did not summarize it.  The Book of Songs is a standard, and correcting the name means??This standard must be made clear.

    "It seems you can learn "The Book of Changes"." After hearing this, if you don't teach Yunyao, you will be delaying her.

    It¡¯s a pity that she is a woman. If she were a man, maybe she could change this chaotic era.

    Several core disciples were very envious. They all knew that Yunyao was a female disciple. After all, they were too close to Confucius and could not hide it from them.  Zilu was a little angry at first and felt that Confucius should not accept female disciples, but at this moment he was convinced.  Because he had never thought about what Yunyao said.

    After having a deep understanding of Yunyao's wisdom, Confucius wanted to hear Yunyao's views on self-denial and restoration of rites. After all, he had never asked Yunyao before. Now that he knew her intelligence, he had to ask: "  So what do you think of the idea of ??self-denial and restoration of rites?"

    "Self-denial is naturally good, but there is no clear standard. Although the standard for restoration of rites is very clear, Zhou rites obviously do not conform to modern countries." Yunyao said that self-denial and restoration of rites have their own problems.

    "There is still a standard for self-denial, and that is, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Confucius said. He could refute this point, but he couldn't refute it later. After all, the fact that he encountered obstacles everywhere showed that everyone was unwilling to accept Zhou Li.  .

    Yunyao has forgotten this point. After all, it is too difficult to do to others what you don¡¯t want others to do to you. Many times, she selectively forgets it.  It's okay to use this as a standard for self-denial, but it's very subjective and cannot be expressed objectively, so it's hard to grasp the scale.  But Yunyao did not refute it, because the mere fact that he could not restore the ceremony was enough to make Confucius sad.

    "Why is it not in line with all countries?" Confucius asked.

    "It's very simple, because everyone has completed the accumulation. A family of farmers who work hard for two generations can train a craftsman. A family of craftsmen who work hard for two generations can train a traveler. And the traveler has to find a way  Establish meritorious services and find ways to become ministers and officials. The more turbulent the world is, the more opportunities there will be. When ministers and officials accumulate wealth for two generations, they will think about becoming princes, lords, or even kings. But Zhou Li wants everyone to stop in their own way.  If their position does not rise upwards, then why do they have to endure hardships and work hard? Isn¡¯t it just that they hope that they don¡¯t have to look at other people¡¯s faces and hope that future generations can live a better life?¡± Yunyao pointed out the reality that people are heading for higher places,  People work so hard because they have hope for a leap. If this hope disappears, then why should everyone work hard?  Zhou Li was the black hand who extinguished this glimmer of hope.

    Confucius was shocked. If Yun Yao really said that, then his idea would be at odds with the people of the world.
