Can Shi Shuo Xin Yu, a work full of words and meanings, be said to have opened a road to life beyond Confucian ethics?

Yes, a lazy life is meaningless, but it may be interesting.

In Shi Shuo, the dialogue between the monarch and the minister may be like this:

The prince of Yuan Di was born, and he was blessed by the ministers. Yin Hongqiao thanked him and said, "The whole world is celebrating the birth of the prince. I have no honor, but I was awarded a thick coat. " Zhongzong smiled and said, "How can this make you have respect and evil?" ("Paidiao")

Emperor Jinyuan gave birth to a prince and gave it to a minister.

Some officials said that this is a great event to be celebrated all over the world. Unfortunately, I have no credit, so I am embarrassed to get the award.

Emperor Jinyuan said, "I gave birth to a son. Can this take credit? "

This is a common joke among the people. It's obviously beneath the dignity of the imperial court, but it's really interesting.

In family life, the dialogue between husband and wife may be like this:

Wang Hun was sitting with his wife Zhong Shi. When he saw Woods passing by, Hun readily said to her, "It's really gratifying to have such a child." The woman smiled and said, "If the bride is worthy of joining the army, so is having a baby!" " ("Paidiao")

Dad couldn't help feeling proud when he saw his son passing by, saying that my son was great. The wife replied, "If I marry your brother, my son will be better."

The Confucian classics of worrying about the country and the people are very meaningful, but it is meaningless to talk about the metaphysics of the nature of the world. It is also metaphysics, and the significance of writing a monograph on metaphysics to spread to later generations is greater than talking about things. It is also a clear conversation and a rigorous discussion, which is more meaningful than talking all night without knowing what to say.

But for celebrities at that time, what is more interesting is that the ranking is just the opposite. The most interesting thing is:

"It has always been a language, but I don't know its source. As for the rhetoric, it is not negative, and the voice at the beginning is just right! " (literature)

I've been talking for so long just now, and I don't know where Hyunri's roots are. But when it comes to the collocation of words and metaphors, the highest realm of metaphysics in the Zhengshi period is probably like this.

The speaker himself doesn't know what he said, and neither do the onlookers. But it doesn't matter, as long as the chat is in good condition. The so-called "* * * praises the beauty of the two schools, and it is indisputable." Obviously, everyone listens very highly and cares whether it makes sense. This is vulgar and vulgar.

In the face of a powerful enemy, what is meaningful is of course how to win, and how to shape after victory is not so important. But the world says it's about posture. It didn't say how to fight the battle of Feishui, but it remembered this one:

Xie Gong played Weiqi with others, but Xie Xuan believed it. Reading is unexpected and silent, Xu Xiangju. The guest asked Huai Shang if he was interested, and replied, "Child thief." Meaning, color and behavior are the same as usual. (magnanimous)

This calm and elegant demeanor has become the eternal swan song.
