Chapter 602: The Confucian Saints(1/2)
In the Warring States Period, the nations fought against the war. After the Spring and Autumn Period, it was indeed time to determine a formal title for the current era. Although the word "The Warring States Period" to the current era has long been circulated in the mouths of many people, in fact,
There was no one, no historian, who wrote these two words in it.
Without the historian's consent, it means it is not orthodox.
"The Warring States Period, after this Confucian Confucian Conference, the sages transferred the great history, the Taishi, the Western history, and the Southern History, and the Four Historians met with historians from various countries, from Queen Jing of Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Period, to the present.
The world can be called the 'Warring States Period'!"
This is just an episode. The Confucian sage casually decided on some information that needs to be conveyed to the outside world. At this Confucian Conference, the whole world is waiting for the result.
The seventy-two saints, the Confucian scholars in their past and later generations, need to show them to the world.
There is no reason why a country uses Confucianism, but this does not mean that the power of Confucianism is not strong, and it is another matter whether it is used or not.
Just like no one in the world would deny Zhongni's status and knew that he was the last guardian of the Zhou Li, but this did not prevent the kings of all countries from staying away from him.
Because the Confucian principles are not suitable for the Warring States Period.
Cheng Zhiyuan hit the nail on the head, and the sects inevitably began to recall their own role. The eight veins naturally had their own emphasis, not completely respecting the way of Confucius, but adding their own thoughts to them to develop.
Someone looked at Zixia. Among the scholars, the one who changed the most about Zhongni's way was actually not Zisi, but Zixia.
Zixia did not pay attention to self-discipline and restored rituals, but hoped that the Confucian school would advance with the world, and proposed that "if you are good at official positions, you will learn; if you are good at studying, you will be good at studying," which also led to major differences between him and some people, such as Zhuansun Master.
, Zisi.
"I'm not wrong. To this day, I still know what I want."
Zixia pointed to his eyes: "I'm blind, but my heart is still clear. I dare not say it's innocent, but it's definitely like a sunset."
"Sunset? Mr. Zixia, this light ends with the sun that is all living beings, this is not a metaphor."
Among the ancient sages, Cao Xiu spoke and did not believe that Zixia's principles were applicable to the times.
Cao Xiu, the world calls him Zi Xun.
"Zi Xun, Zi Si has put in a lot of effort to invite you out of Honghe."
Zi Sue said: "After being an official for a lifetime, the world is noisy and difficult, so he hides in the mountains and fields and does not want to come back, but... the world's rituals and music are broken, and the land of happiness is gone, so he has to come."
"Mr. Zixia, do you think you are orthodox?"
Zixia laughed: "Does anyone here think they are not orthodox?"
Zi Xun said: "No, Mr. Zixia, you are wrong. It's not that you think you are orthodox, but that you have no decision yet."
"In my opinion, no one can obtain the true teachings of Confucius."
Zixun pointed at Zisi, Zeng Shen and the others said, "Even Zisi is just picking up people's wisdom. What he picked up was something that Zhongni once put down, but what Zhongni had put down, how can he call it orthodox?
?”
"What is orthodoxy? What we are fighting today is not something that is superficial. I think Cheng Zi said it very well, the meaning of Confucian existence and the role of Confucianism in the Warring States Period... This determines who is orthodoxy
The key lies."
"So, what is the source of the Confucianism?"
Zixun asked Zixia: "What do you think it is?"
Zixia replied: "Confucianism is soft, it is cowardly, but it is not born from fear. The so-called word cowardly is what the heart needs."
"Confucians should be knowledgeable and determined, ask questions and think closely; be gentlemen, gradually become hungry and cold, but their ambitions are unrestrained; be spit on the five soldiers, but their words are not intimidated; when facing major events, they should not forget the words of the past."
Zi Xun smiled but said nothing. After Zixia finished speaking, Nangong Shi responded:
"Confucianism governs the state and the way will not be abolished; Confucianism governs the state and the law will not be killed; gentlemen will know the world by relying on their own crops!"
"What a paradise!"
Dan Tai Mieming smiled and said, "The world is great, and the world is great! The gentleman's actions are as beautiful as the world, and are famous in history. He is happy to be under the ninth valley of the yellow springs and has no regrets."
"different!"
Someone spoke, among the eight veins, Yan Hui's lineage. Yan Hui himself did not arrive because of his serious illness, so he spoke out that Gong Xi'ai.
Gong Xi'ai, whose courtesy name is Jici, is a native of the alley. He has lived an empty room and a blond house. He never gets tired of eating brown clothes and eating sparsely. He was born in a commoner's family and was in a miserable life. He was with Yan Hui's principle: "One ate and one scoop of drink, and one scoop of drink, in a humble alley.
, "not changing the joy" is completely consistent, so it belongs to the same lineage.
"Confucianism includes the Confucianism of great men, the Confucianism of gentlemen, the Confucianism of villains, and the Confucianism of dogs and horses!"
Gong Xi said mercifully: "The so-called great scholars, who live in heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and living beings as relatives. I once heard Cheng Zi say in the new palace, "Set up his mind for heaven and earth, establish his destiny for the people, and go for the way."
The sage inherits his unique skills and brings peace to all ages!' This is a Confucian scholar of the great man!"
"The so-called Confucian scholars, the beauty of a gentleman, do not evil of a man, benevolence and righteousness, take benevolence and righteousness as one's own responsibility, and take morality as one's own rope. If you don't move, you will have a way of movement. If you don't speak in nothing, you will have reason. If you don't ask me carefully, you will have to ask for it. If you ask for it, you will have to ask for it.
If you have righteousness and do not act in vain, you will have correct actions. This is a Confucian scholar who is a gentleman."
"A Confucian of the villain, the so-called Confucian of the villain, Mr. Zixia was once gloomy and had a strong desire to revenge, and was scolded by Zhongni. At that time, Mr. Zixia was a Confucian of the villain, and he followed the principles of Confucianism.
It is the Confucian school's way, but what he does is to hope that he will become a true gentleman, but he cannot let go of his will and is greedy for nicknames without foresight. A gentleman will be wise to the truth, while a villain will be proud of his talent and reputation.
, This is a villain Confucianism."
"I don't have great talents, I just rely on bragging, but I feel inferior."
Gong Xi'ai's words did not anger Zixia, but instead made Zixia feel a little nostalgic. When he just became a disciple of Zhongni, he looked like this. Zhongni had been teaching him and made him a later one.
"Sage of Xihe".
The earliest conflict between him and Zi Zhang probably originated from this. At that time, Master Zhuansun had many friends in the Confucian sect, while Zi Xia was introverted and did not like to live in groups. The two sides occasionally had a debate over the issue of making friends, although they were each other.
I admire the other person's talent, but ended up in disagreement.
"The last one is a scholar of dogs and horses!"
Gong Xiai looked at the sages and suddenly sneered: "I can't give examples of this kind of Confucianism, but I can use the examples of the Mohist school to give it a look."
"What a talent for Mo Di? In the past, Zhong Ni was so sad that he was away from the world. Mo Di and Yang Zhu competed for power. At that time, if the world did not return to Yang, he would return to Mo. At that time, even Meng Ke did not dare to carry the Prime Minister away. This was because of the theory of the two saints.
It is noisy in the world, and there is no other place to live.”
"But even as talented as Mo Zhai, he finally taught a fool like Shengchuo. Why is that?"
"If I can't produce a Confucianism with dogs and horses, it is because Confucianism is not accepted by the nations, then Mo is what all countries want to win over. Sheng Chuo is a Confucianism with dogs and horses, but everyone knows that Mo Di is opposed to Wu
The Battle of the Lord.”
"Shengchuo helped Xiang Ziniu launch an unjust battle three times, which made Mo Zhai furious. He sent Gao Sun to capture him and removed him from the Mo family."
"This kind of person has learned the principles of various philosophers, but does not abide by them. Instead, he uses this principle to seek personal gain for himself and is willing to become a lackey under others. He has no bottom line to persist. This kind of person is a 'dog and horse'.
”
"The loyalty of dogs and horses is praised by the world, but why do we come to us and just curse people? The reason is that the loyal people are different."
"Dogs and horses are loyal to the Lord, and we are loyal to the Tao!"
Gong Xiai said seriously: "I agree with what Mr. Zixia said. A gentleman should not forget the words of the past. Even if we are noble, we must not forget our former ideals. What Mr. Dan Tai said and what Mr. Nangong said.
, Promised Land, do you really think that they will keep their promises with your own principles?”
"The Legalists are loyal to the law and do not hesitate to test the law with their own body; the Mo people are loyal to the righteous and die for the benefit of the world."
"Where is my Confucianism? I am loyal to benevolence, respect righteousness, praise filial piety, read in the Spring and Autumn Period, hoping to be great virtue, use Zhou rituals as ruler and Zhou music as ruler, first of all, the word benevolence is the first."
"And what I want to say is that the kings in the world are all unkind and are like beasts!"
"Confucians have the word "benevolence", not "state rules" and "state laws" to be kind first, and then talk to the world! Otherwise, they will help evil and dance with animals!"
Gong Xi's words were fierce, and he pointed directly at Nangong and Dan Tai, making a move to hold his job: "Everyone, including Mr. Zeng Shen, must be wearing Zhongni's dead skin, holding the rotten and smelly bones in his mouth, and going to
Is the king doing the same thing as a dog and horse?”
“Season!”
Zeng Shen suddenly looked at him and his arrogance rioted!
"What is a dog or a horse? If you hope to be a dog or a horse, there will be no Qin Shang's death when you are in Qin! If you know some fur, you will dare to make a big fuss here!"
"If this kind of chaotic audiovisual is already sophist, it is worthy of being called Confucian! Kings are all beasts, we are all dogs and horses, then what are you, the moss in the cracks of the rocks? Or the bugs in the sludge at the bottom of the river? Outside the barn
The rat who was scattered? Seeing the sunshine, but was very close to him. He was not able to get it, so he was extremely jealous?"
Zeng Shen scolded people without a single dirty word, and he was really angry, but Gong Xiai also refused to retreat, laughing and said, "Whether it is right or wrong, I just ask or not, whether it is answered or not, it depends on you, and I am with me.
What? It’s better if you don’t answer, there are still people here, let’s continue talking and listen!”
"Confucianism....."
Qi Diaohui sighed: "It's just twelve words, if you understand, you will understand them."
"The wise are not confused, the kind are not worried, and the brave are not afraid! I think that as long as you do these twelve words, you can call yourself a Confucian and not be afraid of rumors in the world."
His words are concise and to the point, and they are also the answers that Qi Diaoqi said when he was talking to Zhongni. Qi Diao has always respected it to this day.
The Confucian Confucian of Meng came from Wan Zhang. He was not a saint, but he was just a wise man. However, because the Confucian Confucian Confucianism has a good reputation, he borrowed the east wind and lived for a long time.
A true ancient man.
He is Meng Ke's first disciple, and Meng Ke did not come. Yan Hui did not come because he was seriously ill. Dao Zhi had already visited him. Zhuan Sunshi was unable to come because he fought bloody battles with Yanmen and Hengshan warriors and refused the Huns.
