"Old texts, modern texts..." Wei Duan sighed, shook his head and said, "I have strictly ordered my family not to participate in this dispute! This hussar is so generous! What a generous man!"
After experiencing several incidents, Wei Duan became a little scared. Seeing the turmoil in Chang'an City, it was like the eve of a storm. He knew that he was probably not strong enough. If he was involved, he might not even have a bone, so he
I found Du Ji to discuss it, and as soon as I met, I made my position clear.
Du Ji was a little approving, but also a little surprised. He was applauded because Wei Duan finally saw it clearly, but he was also surprised that he could see it clearly this time...
Du Ji felt that based on his understanding of General Hussar during this period, General Hussar could not just focus on "modern texts" and "ancient texts", but had more deeper intentions.
"Bohou, is it possible that General Hussar is trying to clean up the Confucian sect?" Wei Duan was silent for a moment and said with some uncertainty.
"Confucianism..." Du Ji clapped his hands and sighed, "In today's world, who are the disciples of Confucianism? What do you mean by Confucianism? They are just using the words of Confucius to cover up their faults! It's time to clean up!"
Wei Duan nodded and said: "But what General Hussars did is nothing less than..." Halfway through, he didn't know whether he didn't know how to describe it or he didn't dare to say it directly. Wei Duan finally swallowed the second half of the sentence.
, it became a sigh.
"The true path..." Du Ji was silent for a moment, "This matter is easy to say, but difficult to practice!"
Confucianism, many people in later generations think that Confucianism has inheritance and classics, just like Buddhism and Taoism. You can trace the schools and investigate the roots. But unfortunately, the foundation of Confucianism cannot be seen or investigated.
The disciples of Confucius are known as the Seventy-Two, and their origins are very complicated.
At that time, Confucius and Kong Zhongni may have really taught without distinction, or maybe they just wanted to get more pig head meat. Anyway, among the disciples he accepted at that time, there were common people, descendants of nobles, and even some who were great at stealing chickens and dogs.
Among the disciples, some disappeared into obscurity in history, while others founded sects. But what is interesting is that many of these founders were not recognized by later generations of Confucian disciples, and they were not considered to be Confucian.
.
Just like Confucius's disciple Zixia, during the Warring States Period, the reason why the Wei State was strong was because the Xihe School headed by Zixia provided talent support. However, many descendants of Confucianism believe that Zixia is not a Confucianist, but a Legalist.
Because the "Fajing" comes from the Xihe School of Zixia, and later Shang Yang's reform was based on the "Fajing". We don't even talk about Zixia's inheritance of Confucian classics, as if he is Confucius's
It’s like he has never done anything other than being a disciple...
The Confucian school was in chaos, each with its own differences, and this chaos continued all the way. Although the later Confucians, whether they were surnamed Zhu or Wang, created a new scene, neither Wang nor Zhu
It is no longer possible to completely integrate it into one place and establish a complete system on the basis of chaos. I can only select some articles in the Confucian classics that suit my own ideas and intentions as a program.
On the one hand, Confucian disciples criticize other people and other schools of thought, but on the other hand, they unceremoniously take other people's things into their own arms and claim that they are originally their own.
Bangzi learned the spirit of Confucianism?
So speaking of it, Confucianism is more like a hot pot. All kinds of ingredients are put in it, including beef, mutton and vegetables, and stinky tofu and durian...
When many people in later generations talk about it, they only say that Confucianism inherited Chinese culture. This is inevitably biased, because Chinese culture has been multifaceted from the beginning, and in some aspects, Confucianism’s so-called teachings that have been sung for thousands of years are
The credit for this is not entirely due to Confucianism, but also to Legalism, Taoism, and Buddhism, but these schools are not as loud as the Confucian disciples.
It is undeniable that Confucianism has indeed made contributions, but this cannot deny the contributions of others.
"Seeking truth and correctness..." Du Ji suddenly said, "If we are not looking for modern and ancient texts, we are looking for Kong Zhongni's classics..."
Wei Duan was stunned.
If all these foundations of Confucianism are lifted, then the "real" Confucian classics will be nothing more than the Analects of Confucius. It is true that all the six classics were compiled by Confucius, but it can be said that he compiled the world's articles, then
Do all articles in the world belong to the editor?
Confucius was the compiler of the Six Classics, not the original author!
Although it seems that Sima Hui is only talking about seeking truth and rightness, not falsehoods, it seems that he is only targeting those false words in the current Jinwen classics, but what happens next? If you keep touching all the way, you must know that the lotus is on the water.
It looks beautiful and noble on the top, but at the roots...
Wei Duan shuddered. This matter was too big to touch.
Du Ji glanced at Wei Duan, and there was some disdain in his eyes. Aren't he usually quite bold, doing this and doing that, but when something big happened, he immediately backed away. I really don't know whether he should be called bold.
Still timid.
The two of them fell silent and neither spoke.
Wei Duan's eyes were full of worry [.], but Du Ji's eyes shone with a look of expectation...
……(=??)?(=＿=)……
Is Fei Qian really as far-sighted as Du Ji and others imagined?
Unfortunately, no, Fei Qian was really not prepared to lift Kong Zhongni's underwear to take a look, as Du Ji and Wei Duan thought...
Fei Qian just feels that China cannot follow the same old path and should be able to go further and wider!
If you want to go further, you can't be too feudal. It doesn't mean that you can't be feudal, but you can't be too strict and rigid, causing even your own feet to be deformed...
Therefore, we must take advantage of the present to separate Confucianism. The relationship between Confucianism and the landlord class must not be so close that it will lead to the inseparability of later dynasties, so that Chinese feudalism will remain in the same place and revolve around the landlord class.
Can't get out.
In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was highly respected. In the eyes of the people, the children who studied Confucian scriptures were naturally from noble families and benevolent and righteous gentlemen. But in fact, ordinary people did not know what these gentlemen were like. At the same time, these aristocratic families
The disciples have also maintained a relatively tacit understanding and will not tell ordinary people what the truth is.
The rise of Confucianism was accompanied by the emerging landlord class. These landlords shouted for "benevolent government", "freedom" and "equality", but like most classes in history, what they said was
, in fact, it is one’s own “benevolent government”, “freedom” and “equality”.
In order to overthrow the old aristocrats left over from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the emerging landlord class certainly needed a theoretical basis to show that it was implementing a "benevolent government" that was better than those of the old aristocrats, and that it was true "freedom" and "equality"...
It's like advertising is advertising, efficacy is efficacy, and Confucian advertising is "benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness". If you shout it too much, it's like brain-dead gold, and people really think it can cure all diseases.
Fei Qian had always thought that Confucianism was Confucianism before, but as his understanding deepened, he now believed that in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was becoming Confucianism, and what inspired the final transformation of Confucianism was not others, but the Han Dynasty itself, the Han Dynasty
The emperor himself.
Especially the disaster caused by party control.
A period of party imprisonment that lasted for more than ten years, caused the world's Confucian scholars to suffer a lot, and also made them understand that the power of words is not so useful, and what is more important is swords and guns. Therefore, after the party's imprisonment, they desperately wanted to snatch it.
Swords and guns, even belittling warriors to ensure their control.
I have to say that these people are still very good at summarizing lessons.
In the time of Confucius, why did he travel around, hungry and full? It was because Confucius respected the Zhou Dynasty and wanted to restore the situation of the collapse of rituals and music. The princes in various places were not willing to listen, so Confucius was always unpopular.
When Mencius arrived, he became wiser and stopped talking about the Zhou rites. Instead, he talked about how to make a country rich and strengthen its army. Naturally, some meat was eaten, but Mencius also said that the people valued the king over the king, so the meat was not safe to eat.
So Xunzi went a step further and said that human nature is inherently evil. Mencius's approach is not good. Laws and regulations must be used to restrain the evil of human nature. Then who will restrain and enforce it? Of course, people can do their best, but if they can't do it,
What? Qin Shihuang smiled happily and said that Comrade Xunzi’s words are very reasonable, and your disciple is also a good comrade. Come on, let me see your books...
Therefore, in the earliest times, Confucianism and Legalism were actually the same. They were just the governance concepts adopted by the rulers. They all had the same status. There was no special distinction, no distinction between superior and inferior.
Just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when he wanted to rub his buttocks, he felt that Dong Zhongshu's one was comfortable, so he took it out and threw it away after using it. But the Confucians were not satisfied that they were just a tool, and they endured the dirt on their faces.
Just like a lotus, a beautiful flower blooms from the mud, changing from a tool to a tool-holder...
Before the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was a class that mastered knowledge and was a thinker like Taoism and Legalism. It provided governance strategies and was related to politics, but not closely. After the Han Dynasty, Confucianism gradually evolved into Confucianism, not only fully devoted to
Those in power have even become the political class themselves.
It is said that when a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty covered himself with the sacred aura of the Son of Heaven, and then he did not expect that the chickens and dogs around him would also rise to heaven. If he wanted "Confucianism" to eventually become "Confucianism", he must first break the Confucian classics.
The "sacred" buff, therefore, those false points in the current Jinwen classics that pretend to be sacred have become the focus of Fei Qian's current work.
Of course, things have to be done bit by bit. It is impossible to just say "time flies like an arrow and the sun and the moon fly by" to finish writing a work summary on behalf of the person...
The first person I want to see now is Liu Qi.
"Mr. Liu, long time no see. How are you?"
Fei Qian discovered that the phrase "Come back and be well" is actually very useful, just like people in later generations would ask if they had eaten when they met, no matter whether the place of inquiry was in front of a restaurant or inside the toilet.
What could Liu Qi say? I'm sick, do you have any medicine? He could only smile, awkwardly and politely bowing his hands in salute, "I've seen the Hussar General."
Fei Qian introduced Liu Qi again, pointed at Pang Tong and said: "This is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan..."
"Ah, ah, I have met Pang Tong." Liu Qi quickly turned around and greeted Pang Tong.
Pang Tong laughed out loud, "It's easy to say, easy to say, Mr. Liu's style is still the same as before!"
Liu Qi didn't know it was a trap, so he subconsciously asked: "Ah? Pang Shijun has seen someone before?"
Pang Tong laughed twice and said: "In the past in Xiangyang, I saw Mr. Liu returning from hunting in the west. He was so majestic. Now that I see him today, he is indeed more elegant than before!"
"Uh..." Liu Qi forced out a smile awkwardly. He didn't know how to respond, so he simply didn't respond.
Fei Qian pretended not to hear, and kindly asked Liu Qi to sit down. Don't think that Pang Tong and Liu Qi had any grudges, or that they had such bad intentions, but it was Fei Qian's will. The superior showed kindness, and then the confidants around him
Beating is originally a rule in the workplace. Fei Qian is not as magnanimous as Pang Tong is.
We can't let Fei Qian ridicule and beat him, and then let Pang Tong show his generosity and care, right?
Fei Qian first asked some irrelevant questions about Liu Qi's living situation, etc., and then said: "I invite Mr. Liu to come today. One is to apologize. A certain matter is complicated and I can't help Mr. Liu. It's better to choose a day."
, I will make up for it today! Secondly, a great sage happened to come from Jingxiang, so I also invited Mr. Liu to meet him..."
Who is Daxian?
Of course it’s Wang Can.
It can't be said that Fei Qian was suspicious, but because the price was now bigger, and it happened to be a coincidence, Liu Qi had just surrendered to Chang'an, and then Wang Can left Jingxiang and came here...
The key is that as soon as Wang Can arrived, he happened to find many homophones among the descendants of the gentry who gathered here, and they greatly agreed with the matter of welcoming the Han Emperor. It seemed that everyone sympathized with the tragic experience of the Han Emperor.
Weeping bitterly and wishing to die on their own behalf, everyone was so angry and high-spirited that they seemed to want to become the heroes who saved the Han Emperor from water and fire.
This did make Fei Qian a little embarrassed.
Now is the time for Fei Qian to push forward various reform measures. Why did the Han Emperor come? If the Han Emperor really came, although the Han Emperor might not understand the significance of Fei Qian's pushing forward these reform measures, it would not hinder the Han Emperor.
The emperor could sing a counter-melody to Fei Qian at any time. At that time, would he blatantly disobey and insist on reform, or would he abandon it and go to waste?
Neither is a good choice.
Fei Qian now wants to see if Liu Qi and Wang Can are related in some way, or is it just a coincidence?
