Chapter 282 Fusion of ancient and modern
From childhood to adulthood, we have learned a lot of knowledge, but we are also bound by this knowledge. Learning to advance and step out means to step out of the learned knowledge and no longer be bound by these constraints.
Coming out does not mean breaking the original system of learning. The system is still the same system, and the knowledge is still the same knowledge. It is just that when you come out of it, you stand on the outside and see. What are the strengths and what are the shortcomings? You can clearly see what are the strengths and weaknesses. Come out and change
What matters is that people who learn see the world differently, rather than changing knowledge and systems.
There are always many constraints if you are unable to step out. To take major matters as an example, during the reform and opening up, there was a debate over socialism and capital, and countless quarrels occurred from theory to practice. This means that you have not stepped out. Stepping out,
There will no longer be these debates. Whatever system and method is beneficial to the country and the people, then we should learn from it.
For Wang Xiaolie now, the shackles of past life knowledge have been broken and no longer constrain him. No matter what he does, he no longer thinks about whether it conforms to the laws of human development that does not conform to past life knowledge, and no longer thinks about whether it is this doctrine.
It’s still that doctrine, what direction is it? What really guided Wang Xiaolie was China in his previous life, which for the first time proposed that the people were the masters of the country and that the government should serve the people. This message is hung on the walls of almost all party and government agencies.
Five-word inscription.
If the founding of New China is a great revolution in Chinese history, this revolution should be the illusory destiny of the old society. The revolution has made the people the masters of the country. Under this premise, all the achievements of human civilization can be used.
You can learn. You don’t have to think about what I believe in or what I insist on. You don’t have to think about what mankind was like in the past and what the future of mankind should be like. There is also no need to think about the people being the masters of the country, what experiences they have had in previous lives, and
What are the lessons? You don’t have to think about what you did well and what you didn’t do well.
Based on this, we can connect it with the statement in "Shang Shu - Tai Shi" that "Heaven sees me and the people see me, and God listens to me and the people listen", and connect it with Mencius' thoughts. An important trend of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was Mencius' promotion.
The rise in status in Confucianism is exactly consistent.
The knowledge and ideas learned in previous lives have strong ideological characteristics. This does not mean that ideologies should not be persisted. They have their own reasons for existing in previous lives. But after thousands of years, there is no need to persist in this world. The civilization of previous lives
Its characteristic is that it originated from Western Europe and bears a strong imprint of Western European civilization. Without this premise, much knowledge would be useless.
The bourgeois revolution in Western Europe was accompanied by the decline of royal power and, more importantly, the decline of the feudal aristocracy. Capitalist society is completely different from feudal society. Not all parts of the world are experiencing the same changes in the Western European system. China
The revolution was not so much the fall of imperial power as the change of destiny. From this perspective, it broke away from various ideological trends and doctrines originated in Europe.
Human society is objective, but people’s summary of human society is subjective. The various ideas and doctrines generated from these summaries are also subjective based on the objective. These subjective ideas cannot be used to demand objective existence.
Human society. Most of the analysis of human society learned in previous lives is of no use in this era. Because when this knowledge was produced, the objective reality of thought has not yet appeared.
When China faced the crisis of national subjugation and genocide, many people with lofty ideals shed their lives and blood and tried every means to save it. If we look at it from that time, it is not so much the introduction of Western doctrines that saved China, but rather the choice of those people with lofty ideals.
This doctrine saved China. The most important thing is not the doctrine, but the people with lofty ideals. It’s not that doctrine is not important. Without doctrine, these people with lofty ideals would probably not be able to accomplish such a great cause. But it means that people are more important than ideas.
Human civilization has developed for thousands of years, and many times it is like a child. We know that we must seek truth from facts and proceed from reality, but when it comes to studying and researching knowledge, we often fail to do so.
In China's most difficult moments, some people choose to learn from foreigners' knowledge, some choose to criticize China's shortcomings, and of course some people choose to be conservative. Whether they are learning from foreigners' knowledge, criticizing Chinese culture, or being conservative and conservative, these are all practices of a special era.
It is normal for us to always criticize the bad and learn from the good. But the special practices in special times are different from this normal criticism and learning, and cannot be confused. But there are always people who can't tell the difference and can't get out of it.
come out.
The simplest example, why did China fall behind in modern times? Why did the Industrial Revolution not happen in China? Why was China invaded by developed countries in modern times? Why was China poorer than developed countries?
The criticism in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China was all-round and merciless. The most important function of these criticisms was to attack those who clung to the old and to awaken the enthusiasm of the Chinese people to abandon the old and learn the new. Many times, the criticism at that time was not
Incorrect. But a hundred years later, some people just can't get out of it and continue to criticize it.
Why did China fall behind? Some people answered that it was because of Confucianism. When did it start? Some said it started in the Ming Dynasty, some said it was wrong, it started in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Others said it started in the Han Dynasty.
It started. Most people say it started when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism. Some even say it started when Confucius appeared in China. It was very lively and the debate was extremely fierce.
Wang Xiaolie really wants to say something to these people, you are so smart. It is not difficult to find the time when China was surpassed by Europe. It was the late Ming Dynasty. Even if you want to find the reason, it is amazing to go back a hundred years to the Yuan Dynasty. It is amazing to trace it all the way to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
, Chasing Confucius, are you kidding me? If you don’t understand, just answer honestly and you don’t understand. You will lose a piece of flesh.
In terms of thinking, human beings often behave like children. Two children quarreled, and one couldn't beat the other, so he said: "You wait here, I have a stick at home. I will take the stick and beat you to death!" The other said
: "We have knives at home, it's useless if you take a stick." The first one said: "I have guns at home!" The other said: "I have cannons at home!" The previous one said: "I have tanks at home!"
Another said: "I have an airplane at home!" The previous one said: "I have an atomic bomb at home!" Another said: "I have a hydrogen bomb and a neutron bomb at home!" He was beaten so hard that he couldn't think of anything, so he had to go back in despair.
Go home. When someone asked him why he was beaten, he said: "Because that guy had a hydrogen bomb at home!"
There is definitely not one reason why China is lagging behind. Among the many reasons, there are primary reasons and secondary reasons, which are intertwined to form that result. But if you must ignore other reasons and look for one reason, you will probably not find it. Because in the end
The main reason may be the interaction between these reasons. Scientific researchers know that they need to learn experimental design and understand the interaction of conditions. How come social scientists don’t know this? The theories that come out are sometimes confusing.
Fog.
In the subjective knowledge that humans have summarized from objective reality, we always have too many limitations and can easily be led astray. Only by truly jumping out can we see the true face of this knowledge.
After returning from Ruzhou, Wang Xiaolie has finally stepped out of the knowledge and memories of his previous life and is no longer bound by them. If something should be done, then do it. What to do if there are no personnel? Cultivate and educate. What to do if others can't figure it out?
?Educate and guide slowly. Is it difficult? Not difficult. The difficulty is that you can’t figure it out and don’t dare to do it. As long as you figure it out yourself, what’s the difficulty?
The vast majority of people in this world cannot learn knowledge. This is a fact. There is nothing. No one stipulates that a person must learn everything to live in this world. People who can learn knowledge often cannot get out. They are stuck in the trap of knowledge.
