Fourth, first, Corporal Li Xian. Wei Wenhou is a model of Corporal Li Xian. Lu Chunqiu Qi Xian wrote: "After writing a poem for a while, the servant said,' Is Jun Hu a poem?' You said: Isn't this a piece of dry wood? Duan Ganmu built a saint. Am I embarrassed? And I heard that Duan Ganmu never wants to treat others with his own advantages. How dare I be arrogant? Duan gan mu guangde, I am bare; Duan Gan's mother is rich in righteousness and I am rich in wealth.' His servant said, "Then why don't you talk to him?" So, you invited me to meet, and Duan Ganmu refused. "Wei Wenhou put forward here how to deal with the relationship between power, wealth, morality and knowledge. Not only do you look down on a poor intellectual who relies on power and wealth, but you should help him and pay attention to him when he passes by Duan Ganmu's house. This move caused strong repercussions throughout Wei. There are also some monarchs who, in order to gain wisdom, exempt scholars from the ceremony of monarch and minister and pay tribute to the host and guest. For example, the king of Qin "respects the guest of honor" to Fan Sui. Zou Yan "adapted to Liang, benefited Wang Xiaoying, and held a ceremony for the guests and the host". The son of Wei bowed to Hou Ying, Mao Gonghe and other well-known ceremonial corporal. Although only a few prestigious scholars were exempted from the courtesy of the monarch and ministers at that time, this line of movable property had a wide social impact.
Second, treat each other as teachers. Some monarchs worship celebrities as teachers and perform the ceremony of disciples. Such as "Wei Wenhou Shi Xiazi, Tian Zifang". Qi Xuanwang takes Yan Yan as his teacher. Mencius said: "a great and promising king must have an uninvited minister;" If you have a plan, just do it. " In the face of strategy and morality, the relationship between monarch and minister has fallen to a secondary position, and the monarch should go to the door of the courtiers for advice. Mencius under Zhang Wan recorded a story of Lu Miaogong and Zi Si. Miao Gong wanted to see Zi Si, and said, "One country can ride thousands of times, so why should we be friends?" Zi Si was unhappy and said,' What is an ancient cloud, a cloud of friends?' The displeasure of Zi Si does not mean to say,' If there is a son, there is a gentleman; Minister, minister also; How dare you be friends with Jun? With virtue, my son is my business, and Xi can be my friend? "It is also said here that the relationship between scholars and monarchs is based on power theory; As far as virtue is concerned, a monarch should learn from scholars. In Mencius' view, making friends with scholars by Lu Miaogong is a sign of disrespect for scholars. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Persuading Learning" says: "There are saints, and the world is justified. On the right, heavy on the right, heavy on the left, heavy on the left. It is an ancient holy king, and there is no disrespect for teachers. "The monarch's behavior of respecting scholars as teachers and the theory of taking scholars as teachers reflect the high social status of some scholars.
Third, wait for equality. Meng Qi county is a typical figure. "Historical Records and Biography of Meng Changjun" said: "There are thousands of diners, no distinction between noble and low." On one occasion, "Meng Changjun used to entertain guests at night and build a fire by himself. The guests were so angry that they stopped eating and resigned. Meng Changjun is not as good as he is. Being a guest is awkward. With these, many scholars returned to Meng Changjun. The guests in Meng Changjun have no choice but to meet them. Everyone thinks that Meng Changjun loves himself ". Qi Ce Si contains: Meng Changjun Shi Hao, "Diet, Clothes and * * *".
Due to the wind of respecting teachers and attaching importance to Taoism in society, some scholars are often arrogant and even do not pay attention to the monarch. When discussing this issue, Hong Yan's central argument is that the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of a country depend on the gains and losses of policies and strategies, and these gains and losses mainly come from scholars. It is concluded that a scholar is more valuable than a gentleman. This argument persuaded Qi Xuanwang. In this atmosphere, some celebrities dare to despise the monarch by virtue of their knowledge and morality. Mencius publicly criticized: "It is heartless, Liang Ye." Mencius also publicized: "The wise king of ancient times is easy to forget the situation. Why are ancient sages exclusive? Enjoy the trend of forgetting people. " When Wang Shi saw it, he publicly declared: "Good warriors tend to regard Wang as a good power, and good warriors tend to regard Wang as a good man." In order to get the title of a good scholar, Wang Xuan "guided the situation and welcomed it".
In order to attract smart people to their surroundings, monarchs and dignitaries launched activities to win over scholars. There are many ways to compete for a scholar. If you want, you don't have to be an official, a knight, a salary, a reward or a support.
Under normal circumstances, officials, nobles and officials are trinity. Mozi made the problem very clear: "You must be rich, respected and praised, and then the good people of the country will be owned by all." He also said, "Give a high rank, give a high salary, let nature take its course and break the order." "If the title is not high, the people will respect it; Money is not thick, and people don't believe it; If government decrees continue, the people will not be afraid. " Knighthood, possession of wealth and decrees are the "three books" for recruiting wise men. Mencius also said: "The sage is respected, the hero is in power, and all the people in the world are happy and willing to stand in his court." It is repeatedly said in Xunzi Wang Zhi that the basic means of a "good scholar" is "Fuji". The State of Qi established the Jixia Academy, which recruited people from all over the world and gave them generous treatment. Qi Xuanwang gave more than 70 celebrities "the first place to be a doctor" and "open the most prosperous road, have a big house and respect them". Look at the princes and guests in the world. "Mencius is also very rich. "There are dozens of cars and hundreds of followers behind him." . Qi Xuanwang also promised Mencius the following conditions: "I will give Mencius a room in China to raise my disciples for 10,000 minutes". In order to recruit talents from all over the world, Yan Zhaowang said, "Those who humble themselves and pay a lot of money to attract talents ...' When they go out of Wei, Zou Yan comes out of Qi, Zhao plays, and scholars compete for Yan. "Guanzi Mountain Heavy" proposed to praise the literati, such as abel tamata House, "the tree looks high" (such as the memorial archway for later generations).
