Section 28 Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism
The next day after the incident outside Kaifeng City, the new Legalist Party, who was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, collectively submitted a resignation by Emperor Shenzong of Song, and left after Emperor Shenzong repeatedly tried to keep it. The old Confucian Party, who was appointed as the Song Dynasty, re-emerged in the political affairs of the Song Dynasty. Confucian governance of the country was originally the established strategy of the Song Dynasty, so this political change did not cause any confusion.
The Confucian scholar Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi "strike" the Legalists in front of Kong Xuan, the ancestor of Confucianism, with one word and one painting. It was also considered to be famous in one battle and was of great power. Soon they became a high-ranking temple. At that time, Sima Guang felt deeply that the attack on Wang Anshi's reform in the past was contrary to his original intention when he came out of the mountain, and he was very uneasy, so he left sadly shortly after the old Confucian party got on track. Therefore, Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi gradually became the leaders of the new Confucian scholars.
After Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi took charge of the government, Confucianism's position in Dongsheng Shenzhou was as stable as Mount Tai. In order to prevent problems before it happened, Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi combined Confucianism with the government and introduced the far-reaching new Confucianism "Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism". The basic views of Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism are:
"Reason" is the origin of all things in the universe, and the highest expression of "Reason" is "heavenly law". "Heavenly law" is good, and when he gives people, he becomes benevolence"; when he gives society, he becomes reason" is the "Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues".
If people want to avoid losing their nature in complex and complex society, they must first preserve the laws of nature and eliminate human desires. Human desires are desires to maintain human life and behaviors that violate etiquette norms, which are opposite to the laws of nature.
Modern people have a misunderstanding about the preservation of the laws of heaven and the destruction of human desires, believing that this is to teach people that there is no desire. In fact, preservation of the laws of heaven and the destruction of human desires is just a step of practice, just like the Buddhist meditation and Taoist meditation.
Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism believes that after the Confucian students have experienced the practice of preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires, they can reach the highest Confucian state of "harmony between man and nature". That is, "harmony between reason and desire". This is the realm of those sages, and sages will never lose their nature.
"Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism" puts Confucius and Mencius in the authenticity, absorbs the views of wise men of Confucianism throughout the ages, such as Dong Zhongshu, Zhou Dunyi and others, and combines them with the thinking spirit of various schools of thought to carefully and meticulously construct a new Confucian system with profound content.
The introduction of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has overcome the shortcomings of Confucianism in its worldview and methodology. From then on, the ideas of various schools of thought were difficult to shake Confucianism. For hundreds of years after the Song Dynasty, Confucianism has been regarded as orthodox thoughts. People's daily words and deeds are the main contents of their understanding of the truth and practice.
(Remarks for the Buddha of Semen: Confucianism Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was introduced to the Ming Dynasty, and another peak appeared, which was Wang Yangming's study of the Heart. In the previous dynasty, Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China highly praised Wang Yangming's new study and often regarded himself as his disciples.
Mao Taizu of this dynasty advocated the Legalist thought. After Mao Taizu defeated Chiang, he launched the "Cultural Revolution" to destroy Confucianism and promote the law, and made Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism very unbearable. Wang Yangming's mind study did not mention it at all. Later, Deng Taizong "reform and opening up" was also not aware of the failure to restore his reputation to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and Wang Yangming's mind study for the sake of the situation. Therefore, most of the people of this dynasty despise the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and Wang Yangming's mind study, believing that it was the dregs of feudalism. This was a deviation from the real history.
During the exhibition of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng-Zhu was used by foreign rulers such as Yuan and Qing dynasties. In order to enslave the Han people, they unilaterally promoted their asceticism, and even made the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism a dogma that restrains people's hands and feet. It became a tool for "killing people with reason". It does have its class and era limitations.
But we must objectively realize that Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and Wang Yangming's Mind Studies have played a positive role in promoting people's theoretical thinking, educating people to know books and principles, cultivating sentiments, maintaining social stability, and promoting historical progress.
Among the four ancient civilizations in the world, only China still exists in the world, because of the great role played by Confucian Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and Wang Yangming's study in humanistic inheritance.
The "Cultural Revolution" of this dynasty led to the gap in the Confucian cultural thought that the Chinese nation has been passed down for thousands of years; and in the "reform and opening up", the economy was unbalanced, but due to the invasion of Western alien ideas, the spiritual home of the Chinese world once became very fragile and confused, and had no support.
Deng Taizong realized this and proposed that "both hands must be grasped, both hands must be strong." Jiang Gaozong did not have that ability. The emptiness of the spiritual and ideological thoughts of the world was concentrated. There are two prominent characteristics: one is the individual-centered person in the 1980s and 1990s, and there is no sense of social responsibility. The other is the rise of "***" among middle-aged and elderly people, which has spread all over the country in two or three years.
The Buddha of Sexually is also a fallen generation born in the 1980s, so he has no face to say much! But the ignorant thought of simply promoting the so-called truth, goodness and beauty has such a great influence. It is really incredible to send military and police to suppress it.
However, those countries such as Japan, Goryeo, Singapore, etc., which are deeply influenced by the Chinese Confucian culture, have been well integrated into the characteristics of Confucian culture while taking off their economic growth. The Buddha hated Japan and Goryeo very much, and wanted to take a machine gun to shoot, but they still agree with their policy of governing the country.
In sharp contrast to this dynasty, our treasure island Taiwan is even more important. Anthropologists generally recognize that the inheritance of the Confucian civilization of the Chinese nation has been transferred to the treasure island Taiwan after this dynasty. The Buddha of Seiya has no intention of comparing the economy, culture, freedom, people's livelihood and other aspects of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Everyone on earth knows who is better and who is worse.
What is more gratifying is that after Hu Zhongzong came to power, he realized the importance of inheriting national civilization. In recent years, he has often seen some actions in the media to explore and preserve national characteristics. Whether it is sincere or the face-saving project of local officials, it is a good thing.) It goes far and get back to the point.
After Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian opened the "Baoantang" pharmacy in Hangzhou, the local area, the reputation became more and more popular because of their medical skills and kindness. They soon became popular throughout Hangzhou.
On this day, Xiaoqing and the others were collecting herbs in a mountain outside Hangzhou City. Suddenly, two lights and shadows flashed in the sky. The two Taoists stood in front of Xiaoqing, holding a sword in front of him, pointing at Xiaoqing and shouting: "Who is the monster? He dares to come out to harm others in broad daylight. If he doesn't surrender, he may die around you, otherwise he will not blame me for being ruthless under the sword of Jincicians in Shushan."
The founder of Shushan sect, Changmei Zhenren, passed the position of the head of Shushan to his disciple Qi Suming hundreds of years ago. Shushan and Kunlun Shaolin Sects united. At present, their strength is still above the Wuliu Qingyun Sects, and they are obsessed with the Niu Er who cultivates the truth in the earth.
Nowadays, there are few masters walking around in the earth, so these people who practice cultivation have few opponents and are very arrogant. After Changmei retired, Shushan Sect regarded himself as the one who eliminated demons and defended the way in the world, and was barbaric and arrogant.
Xiaoqing heard the man claiming to be under the Shushan Gate. When his face changed, he said coldly: "You are under the Shushan Gate, but you don't know what it has to do with Qi Suming, Xuan Zhenzi and others?"
The two of them just thought that Xiaoqing was afraid of Shushan's name. The man behind Qi Jinchan took two steps forward and said arrogantly: "My name is Li Qun, so I can tell you that demon to die. My uncle is the proud young master of the leader Qi. Master Xuan Zhenzi is one of the three elders of Shushan."
When Xiaoqing was just transformed, she was met by Qi Suming and Xuan Zhenzi. She wanted to take Xiaoqing's inner alchemy to practice, and almost lost her life. Later, she met Bai Suzhen and was saved by Zhang Bairen. Xiaoqing hated Shushan Sect deeply. Today, these two people were so provocative, how could Xiaoqing still bear it?
Xiao Qing shouted sweetly and said, "You two are here just in time. My sister and I must settle this grudge with you Shushan. Today, we will kill you and sacrifice your sword!" After that, he raised the Qingfeng sword in his hand and looked at Li Qun in front of him and stabbed him.
Xiaoqing has been practicing in Huashan for thousands of years with Bai Suzhen, and learned the authentic Shangqing saint**. Although he only has the middle stage of the Earth Immortal, Li Qun is even worse. He is a disciple of four generations of Shushan. He is only in the early stage of the Earth Immortal, but he was caught off guard by Xiaoqing.
A scream came, Li Qun opened his eyes wide, and looked at the Qingfeng Sword in disbelief and stabbed him through it. Xiao Qing Hao ignored it and reached out to pull out the Qingfeng Sword. Li Qun's blood surged from the wound, falling to the ground and died.
Qi Jinchan obviously did not expect such a change. Seeing Li Qun died, he cursed: "Witch, today I will tell you to break into pieces!" After that, he rushed towards Xiaoqing with a sword.
How could Xiaoqing be afraid? He went up with a sword. Qi Jinchan was practicing the saint of Taiqing, and also the middle-level earth immortal cultivation. He was comparable to Xiaoqing. The two of them were so desperate that they could not tell the outcome for a while.
With the magical power of the two, they naturally could not reach the void. They saw them flying around the city of Hangzhou, and they were flying back and forth, and their bodies flashed, accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder.
The people in Hangzhou City only thought what happened, and they all ran out to watch. No one recognized Qi Jinchan, but Xiaoqing still saw it clearly.
