   Reader note

   The protagonist's boasting gets him slapped in the face every day—do they really think the ancients were brainless idiots? Su Dun pointed to the first point, his tone as calm as possible: "Look at the line in *The Great Yu's Counsel*: 'The human heart is perilous, the Dao heart is subtle; only by being refined and unified, can one truly grasp the mean.' *Xunzi* quoted 'The human heart is perilous, the Dao heart is subtle' in its "Dispelling Obscurity" chapter, but Xunzi said it came from the *Daoist Canon*, not the *Book of Documents*." "And 'truly grasp the mean' should come from *The Analects*, 'The mandate of Heaven rests on your own body; truly grasp the mean. When the four seas are in distress, Heaven's blessings will end forever.'" "The *Analects* says, 'Shun also gave the mandate to Yu,' but what Shun said to Yu in *The Great Yu's Counsel* is completely different from what Yao said to Shun, except for 'truly grasp the mean.'" "The so-called sixteen characters of the Yu court are simply pieced together." He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, waiting for their shock, excitement, or, like in later novels, a sudden realization. However— Fan Yi raised his head and said dismissively, "Perhaps Xunzi misremembered?" Su Dun was stunned. Zhao Mingcheng nodded in agreement, his face serious: "I saw Xunzi's 'Junzi' quote 'When one person is blessed, the millions of people rely on him,' saying it was from the 'Commentary.'" "Actually, this sentence comes from the 'Lü Xing' chapter of the 'Book of Documents.'" "The source of this quote is definitely also a mistake by Xunzi." Su Xingchong added, "Pre-Qin books were all on bamboo slips, which are not easy to consult. When the philosophers quoted the classics, they were very likely to have written them from memory without checking them, so not every word is accurate." Su Dun's lips twitched. Huh? Your reactions are a bit off, aren't they? Too calm? Too rational? Shouldn't you be exclaiming, "Oh my god, this is fake!" And then getting all excited and united in your indignation? Why are you all so…calm? But, what you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless! Li Qingzhao remained silent, only looking down intently at the original text copied by Su Dun. She stared at those lines for a long time, then suddenly looked up, a strange look in her eyes: "The original text of Xunzi's 'Jiebi' is: 'In the past, when Shun ruled the world, he did not issue orders, yet all things were accomplished. He dwelled in a precarious situation, and glory surrounded him; he nurtured the subtlety of the one thing, and glory was attained without his knowledge.' Only then did he quote the Daoist classic: 'The precariousness of the human heart, the subtlety of the Dao heart, the subtlety of the danger, only a wise and virtuous person can know them.'" She looked at Su Dun, her eyes carrying a strange light—a look of doubt about his intelligence: "You don't think that 'the precariousness of the human heart, the subtlety of the Dao heart' and 'the human heart is precarious, the Dao heart is subtle' are the same sentence just because they sound similar, do you?" Su Dun was annoyed by her gaze and retorted stubbornly: "These two sentences are exactly the same, how can it not be plagiarism?" "But these two sentences have completely different meanings!" Li Qingzhao spoke eloquently: "Xunzi first mentioned Shun 'dwelling in a precarious situation' and 'nurturing the subtlety of the one thing'—this means that Shun advocated using a focused mind to explore the subtle principles of things." "Then he quoted the Daoist classic, 'The human heart is perilous, the Dao heart is subtle.' He quoted that line from the Daoist classic to explain the 'perilous' and 'subtle' mentioned by Shun earlier." "The key point of that line is the latter part— 'The signs of peril and subtlety can only be known by a wise and virtuous person.' It's about the 'sign' (obstacles) between 'peril' and 'subtlety,' which only a wise and virtuous person can perceive." She paused, her voice clear: "But the sixteen characters in the 'Great Yu's Counsel's' also emphasize the latter part, 'Be refined and single-minded, hold fast to the mean.' It's about using the effort of 'refinement and single-mindedness' to 'hold fast to the mean.'" "The main idea and philosophy of the two sentences are completely different. One is about perceiving signs, and the other is about upholding the mean." "Just because these eight characters are somewhat similar, you call it plagiarism?" Fan Yi continued: "Even if it is plagiarism, it's possible that the Daoist classic copied the 'Great Yu's Counsel's' and was then remembered as the Daoist classic. There are too many cases like this." He thought for a moment and gave an example: "For example, the saying 'Without tranquility, one cannot achieve far-reaching goals; without detachment, one cannot clarify one's ambitions' comes from the *Huainanzi* (淮南子), specifically the chapter 'Mastering the Art of Governing' (主术训). More than three hundred years later, Zhuge Liang quoted it in his *Letter to His Son* (诫子书), and now everyone thinks it was said by Zhuge Liang." "Another saying, 'Be bold but humble; be wise but principled,' also comes from the *Huainanzi*, specifically the chapter 'Mastering the Art of Governing'. Sun Simiao quoted it, and now everyone thinks it was said by Sun Simiao." Zhao Mingcheng added, "The *Xunzi* itself also has this situation. In the *Xunzi*, in the chapter 'On Rites' (礼论篇), the section on the three-year mourning period, from 'Why is there a three-year mourning period?' To 'It is the same throughout history,' the entire section was included in the *Book of Rites* (礼记), becoming the 'Questions on the Three-Year Mourning Period' (三三年问). Now, when people quote these sentences, they definitely think they come from the *Book of Rites*, not from the *Xunzi*." Su Xingchong also nodded, "As for the difference between what Yao said when he abdicated to Shun and what Shun said when he abdicated to Yu, that's not surprising, is it?" "Two generations of sage kings, facing different circumstances, naturally had different explanations to give." Su Dun was bewildered by everyone's comments. Didn't those books from later generations say that the "Sixteen-Character Heart Transmission" was Yan Ruoqu's core evidence to disprove the "Ancient Text of the Book of Documents"? Wasn't it said that once this evidence appeared, the Neo-Confucian scholars would be speechless? How come he couldn't even convince a few seven or eight-year-old children?

    I'm recommending a less popular book. It's about transmigrating to another world without a system, borrowing some elements from the game *Garden City* to create a new cultivation system. The protagonist grows stronger step by step through their own efforts. The logic is sound, the values ​​are normal, and it's not simplistic, overly sentimental, or love-obsessed. It's a true female-centric story, suitable for both male and female readers. The cultivation system is described in great detail [thumbs up]. It's best read with a bit of critical thinking, but it's a slow burn, hence the smaller readership. It's already over 500,000 words, and a long read is expected – definitely worth checking out!
