PNB Chapter 287
Chapter 287
After watching this video about penicillin, Qi Cheng shook his head. This thing is really too difficult to make. Let's look forward to the blogger's introduction of allicin below.
Thinking that no one has been picked today, Qi Cheng quickly let the system pick the one. He still had to go to sleep after answering the questions.
"Wang Ji of the Qing Dynasty."
"Host, I'm a scholar from Huguang, the Qing Dynasty. You mentioned lying on the ice to catch carp and burying a child to serve the mother. That was very rude. Don't you all put filial piety first at this time?"
Qi Cheng took a look at the system's introduction. It turned out that he was a scholar in his seventies during the Qianlong Dynasty. No wonder he could ask such a question.
"First of all, filial piety is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. This should always be recognized," Qi Cheng said firmly, "but filial piety is not a performance."
Jin Dynasty
Sima Yan's face looked a little bad. Why did this old man ask such a question? He was afraid that the host would mock his Jin Dynasty again. He said that there was no other way to rule the world with filial piety.
After all, the country was not obtained in a legitimate way.
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin smiled. This old scholar must have become stupid because of reading too much. There are indeed many methods of maintaining one's reputation in the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars. Can't he see it?
He came here specifically to argue with the anchor.
Can the host check how allicin is made? This is the real thing. No wonder he has been a scholar all his life. If he asked about allicin.
Maybe Emperor Qianlong would even reward him with an official position.
……
"I won't go into the stories of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars. Today, let's talk about a few that seem off." Qi Cheng glanced at the tablet. "Take Lu Lang Huai Ju, for example. Don't you think it's too much of a performance?"
Lu Ji: It’s coming towards me.
"This story goes that when Lu Ji was seven years old, he went with his father Lu Kang to visit Yuan Shu. As he was leaving, two oranges suddenly fell from his arms. Yuan Shu asked him why he stole the oranges."
"He said he wanted to bring it to his mother to try."
People from all dynasties nodded in agreement. This was similar to what they knew, and the story did not change much in later generations. So, is there anything wrong with this story?
Everyone waited for the host to continue.
"Everyone has probably heard the saying, 'Oranges grown south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are trifoliate oranges.' Oranges are a specialty of the south."
“It’s not something particularly unusual.”
"It would be fine if Lu Ji was born in a poor family, but his father, Lu Kang, was the governor of Lujiang, and he also had a nephew who later became the Grand Commander of the Eastern Wu, Lu Xun. The Lu family was once a top family in Jiangnan."
"A family like this wouldn't be without local specialties like oranges."
"It's easier to understand. A little Hun prince visits someone's home and wants to steal a roasted leg of lamb to take back to his mother. How do you think people should understand this?"
Several bigwigs during the Three Kingdoms period were stunned. Is this how the story should be understood? If so, it seems like Lu Ji was just being impatient.
After being arrested, he found an excuse.
And Yuan Shu, the Skeleton King, simply took advantage of the situation and gave him a reputation for filial piety. After all, the Lu family did have some influence in Jiangnan.
It is common for these aristocratic families to train their children to be child prodigies, and there are certainly many examples of failure.
There was a proverb as early as the end of the Han Dynasty: If you select a scholar, he will be illiterate; if you select a filial and honest person, his father will live separately.
"I'm not telling this story against Lu Ji. He was actually quite capable. He was a minister under Sun Quan and was also well-versed in mathematics and astronomy."
"I just said that the stories in the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars are a bit far-fetched."
Three Kingdoms
Sun Quan forgot that he was cursing just now, and quickly asked his men to find Lu Ji. Since Tian Mu mentioned this, his level must be very high.
Let him also study pi.
Maybe the mountain on the moon can be named after him. Then our side would be very powerful. This should be unique in the Three Kingdoms.
……
"Let's move on to other stories, like the story of Min Ziqian, a disciple of Confucius. His stepmother made him wear reed clothes, while she wore real clothes for her own daughter. When his father found out about this, he wanted to divorce her, but Min Ziqian disagreed. It all ended happily."
"I remember watching a video before that talked about cotton-padded jackets. Where did Confucius get cotton during his time? I guess the author didn't know when cotton was introduced and just made up a story."
Tang Dynasty
Yup!
Li Shimin felt that there must be something wrong with this story. He had not yet found cotton, so how could such a thing have come from Confucius' time?
After seeing the author of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars on Tianmu, he quickly changed the story.
Qing Dynasty
The few old scholars who had been leaning against Wang Ji gradually moved away. This anchor in the future was so powerful that he could find so many loopholes.
Look at Wang Ji’s face that turns red and white. I wonder if this old guy will vomit blood out of anger soon.
……
"The first two stories can barely be considered stories, but the following one is simply worldly and morally distorted."
"This story is about a mosquito sucking blood. It's said that during the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Wu Meng. At the age of eight, he knew how to be filial. To let his father sleep well, he lay naked and let mosquitoes suck his blood, never driving them away."
"I can only say that this name is completely wasted. Mosquitoes are the enemy of you and your son. When you encounter an enemy, don't think about how to defeat the enemy, just throw someone out."
"I wonder if this Wu Meng is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He doesn't think about recovering lost territory and just stays in seclusion all day."
"What if we encounter robbers? What if we encounter other difficulties?"
"This father is really cruel. What if a mosquito really bites his child to death? Will mosquitoes stop biting him later? Or will he push his other sons away?"
"Su Xun of the Song Dynasty put it well in his On the Six Kingdoms: Today we cede five cities, tomorrow we cede ten, and then we can sleep peacefully for one night, then wake up and survey the surrounding borders, and the Qin army will arrive again."
Jin Dynasty
Sima Yan said that he didn't know about the Wu family, so this story was probably fake, so who wrote the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars?
Isn't this ruining the reputation of their Great Jin?
If he were chosen, he would definitely ask this question.
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin also wanted to know who made up these stories and whether any of them contained such outrageous stories for the Tang Dynasty. They were not as weak as the Jin Dynasty, which could only swallow its anger when offended.
"Now Jie Li Khan is still dancing in Chang'an."
……
When Wang Ji saw this, he felt like he was going to be pissed to death. How could people in later generations be so sharp? If he had enough time, he might be able to find a flaw.
