Chapter 2602: Obtaining the scriptures, the only true scriptures
At the moment, the great man can actually be regarded as the Taoist scriptures, only two and a half books.
That’s right, the current Taoist children of the Han Dynasty are so pitiful.
One of them is naturally the Taoist sutra, the "Tao Te Ching".
This is also the reason why Wei Kang thought that his chance came. There was no such thing as a slight search. You could search for the original text of the "Tao Te Ching" and then translated and annotated. Among the children of aristocratic families, because Huang Lao's studies have declined, not many people specialize in the scriptures in the Tao Te Ching, and not even a quarter of those who study the "Chao Yi".
If the difficult hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" are not well-known, they dare not easily understand them if they have not had a certain foundation. Just like when Fei Qian went south to Jingzhou and listened to Xun's lecture in Yingchuan, Xun said that the "Book of Changes" was a collection of all directions. This shows that the "Book of Changes" is not something that ordinary people can understand, let alone the "Tao Te Ching" which is less studied than the "Book of Changes".
The other book is naturally "Zhuangzi".
Laos and Zhuangzi are not separated.
But the problem is that "Zhuangzi" can be said to be the Taoist scripture or not. Because in fact, "Zhuangzi" prefers to show Zhuangzi's own critical spirit, involving philosophy, art, aesthetics, aesthetics, etc. It has rich content and profoundness. It has discussions on many aspects such as philosophy, life, politics, society, art, and cosmic generation theory, not just Taoist content. Of course, if you insist that "Taoism" is in a broad sense, then Buddhists and Confucians can also say that their sect is also in a broad sense, then you are trapped in the vicious circle of who is who is, right?
Later, Taoism did not dare to say that this was the one who took Zhuangzi, so he concealed a Nanhua real person to Zhuangzi, and then said that this was the Taoist "Nanhua real Sutra".
As for whether it is a true scripture, Fei Qian may not think it is, but I believe Mr. Zhuang must be "shocked".
After all, Zhuangzi and Laozi were called together before. How could I become Laojun in the blink of an eye, and Zhuangzi himself could only become a real person?
Taoist children called themselves the Heavenly Lord, saying that I was older than Zhuangzi, and the other hand, I was the incarnation of Laojun...
This logic is turned back, as if it is to prove who is whose father.
Zhuangzi expressed his dissatisfaction. Huangdi Zhou Gong is still older. Why don’t you talk about Huangdi Zhou Gong?
Taoist children have a bitter face. Do you always think we are not talking about it? If you are talking about it, they are all incarnations, all...
Zhuangzi had no choice but to say something about orange and lemon peel, and it was left unresolved.
Is the remaining half of the Taoist sutra? Yes, it is the "Book of Changes".
After all, I want to get involved with Confucianism alone.
In the current era of the Han Dynasty, no matter what type of scripture it is, many of them are poked by Confucian children. Not only are they poked, but they also spit out saliva. Come on, grab food, we are professional, who is afraid of whom?!
Take Dong Zhongshu's thoughts as an example. There are not only Confucianism, but also Yin-Yang, Legal, and Mohist, and then Old Dong coughed, who said it was yours? Do you have the copyright? If you have the copyright, I will write another one and add a clause. These things, not to mention fifty years after death, will be mine for generations!
When a shameless person fights against a shameless person, the shameless person will definitely suffer a little.
It was like taking the banner of a century-old Chinese brand, but selling Western craftsmanship and standards, and creating a set of knives that cannot be photographed. It was really a rule of law society to save it. Otherwise, according to traditional customs, I would have picked up the sign and kicked it out on the spot!
In this matter, is the rule of law right or the rule of law wrong?
This is the problem that Fei Qian is facing now.
He cannot easily delegate the authority of interpretation because people's hearts are greedy.
This has been the case since ancient times.
If you let your subordinates do it easily and let your subordinates set standards for everything, then you know if it was a knife that could not be used to shoot garlic after development. It was originally a milk that met the protein standard. After development, it became a milk that not only reduced the protein, but also increased the number of colonies. It was an APP that occupied a small space and had no advertisements. After development, it became an APP that not only occupied a huge space but also could not close the advertisements...
Among the feudal dynasties in China, there are many people who look kind-hearted and elegant on the surface, but they look like ghosts in their hearts.
What "true scriptures" should these people be able to compile? Fei Qian can rest assured?
After all, even the society in later generations where the rule of law far surpassed that of the Han Dynasty was so magical, not to mention that when we compiled a religious system that was purely proved by the mind and was idealistic, a little negligence would lead to a disaster.
It's like the Yellow Turban Rebellion...
By the way, later generations say that the three brothers Zhang Jiao were also the incarnation of Laojun...
What kind of incarnation is God?
Why did Fei Qian focus on the serious explanation of Qinglong Temple? It was to cut off the Confucianism’s use of prophecies and divination to make a big statement and go to the so-called idealism route. The education, education and inheritance of Confucianism itself is already very great. Why should we compete with religion for jobs?
Based on this point, Fei Qian needs to be more cautious about Taoist scriptures. It is easy to mess around, and it is easy to say an irresponsible word, but it is not easy to build a lighthouse that has shining for hundreds of years or even thousands of years.
This time I randomly fooled people in the snow. Next time, I could fool people from the Northern Wilderness, and then fooled them on their own people. In the end, even deceived them so much that they even believed themselves...
For example, China has "big land and vast resources" and "the country of heaven and earth".
Fei Qian knew very well that China in later generations lacked oil. How much was it? Even though he knew that monopoly would lead to corruption, he still had to let the energy system monopoly. The oil mice caught from the oil barrels over the years were not one or two, but one nest after another...
Then it was said that as long as the poison wine did not occur, it could still quench its thirst. If you don’t drink it, you will die on the spot. If you drink it, you will still have a chance to find an antidote.
Is this right?
As for iron ore, manganese ore, chromium ore, copper ore, aluminum ore, potassium ore, etc., there are some rare minerals, and China is even short of wood because the Waixinganling, which has the most wood in China, was cut off by a prodigal son.
Of course, these things that are missing cannot fall from the sky.
Therefore, China must actively expand.
Active expansion naturally includes the use of force, culture, yes, religion...
This is a civilized world, isn't it?
If Fei Qian used force to expand or recover the Western Regions, and Fei Qian used cultural education and naturalization to erode and naturalize, then the Snow District was Fei Qian who wanted to use religion to infiltrate and eventually assimilate.
Alas, Fei Qian couldn't help but think of his civilized game archive that never passed the level...
If there is an archive, try it first. If it doesn't work, you can just read the archive and start over again.
"Edited" cannot be edited.
Everyone is staring at Fei Qian. If Fei Qian makes it, the people below will make it more. And they will try their best to make it, but Fei Qian has to endure the bitter fruit and let ordinary people eat it.
In fact, there have been emperors in history who have done this.
For example, Wenzi, Liezi, and Gengsangzi were included in the Taoist scripture system in the Tang Dynasty...
During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor wanted to recommend Taoism, but when he saw that this Taoism was too pitiful, there were only two old men, Lao Zhuang, who were left to support it. He also had to compete with Confucianism for the Book of Changes, which was simply nothing to do. How could he live? So Emperor Tang waved his pen and announced that from now on, Wenzi, Liezi, and Gengsangzi had all returned to Taoism. Who agrees and who opposes?
The ministers glanced left and right, looked at each other, and then bowed their heads together: "My emperor's wise!"
This approach is really easy to deal with, but what about the actual effect?
Originally, the thoughts of these people may not be Taoist. In order to be related to Taoism, more lies have been created and more loopholes have been created. Take Wenzi as an example. In fact, he and Confucius were people of the same period. Like Confucius, they had asked Laozi for advice, but just say that Wenzi is Taoism? Is Confucius, who also asked Laozi for advice, also a Taoist?
It was like a very gorgeous Taoist robe that was supposed to be, but it was stamped with a few patches of inconsistent colors on it.
Patch number one.
Then, there was a gap in patch number 1, and later generations patched it again in order to make a far-fetched explanation.
Patch No. 2, No. 3…
In the end, it should be on the extremely gorgeous Chinese Taoist robe. At first glance, there were patches, and only the patches were seen. What was it originally like? My thoughts should have been the understanding of the world, but they were covered little by little without a trace. Only the gods in the sky were left, with colorful colors, but gold and jade outside...
Can I wear it?
It can indeed be worn.
But it shouldn't have been like this originally. What a gorgeous idea and what a beautiful dress, but in the future it turned out to be this patch and that patch?
Fei Qian frowned.
"Shi Yuan stays here..." Fei Qian coughed, "I'm...well, come here if you go..."
Pang Tong turned his eyes for a moment, not daring to smile, but just nodded seriously.
Of course, Fei Qian was not going to change clothes, but was preparing to find foreign aid.
It is known as the library where the great man walks, Cai Jia.
Fei Qian walked into the backyard with his hands behind his back, turned over the corridor, and entered the back hall. He looked up and saw Cai Yan teaching Fei Zhen.
The Book of Songs is listed.
Fei Qian listened to a few words and said it was "Chen Feng·The Pool of the East Gate"...
Speaking of these ancient scriptures, they are like the Three Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Book of Songs, which require the master to explain and teach, otherwise it will be easy to understand one-sidedly, or it will only be seen in its superficial meaning, just like this "Chen Feng: The Pool of the East Gate". If you only look at the literal meaning, then it is just a scene where men and women at the city gate are soaking and washing numbness, and then singing in labor.
But if we add the historical background of Chen State, there may be some new meanings...
After all, an article needs to be related to the context and interpreted according to the background of the article written at that time, in order to be considered as a more correct way to understand an article. However, if someone did not know how to explain it, it would be a bit too much to say that this was a group of dogs and men and women singing lewd songs to each other according to their superficial meaning.
After all, the Book of Songs was also revised by Confucius. If you want to say that this is a lewd song, wouldn’t you slap the old master in the face?
Fei Qian thought of this place and suddenly felt like he had touched something, and couldn't help but stop and frown and ponder.
After a while, Cai Yan taught Fei Zhen to come to an end, and Yingying walked out and bowed to Fei Qian, "I've seen my husband... Is there anything you...?"
"Ah? Oh..." Fei Qian came back to his senses, "It's nothing, well... By the way, do you know what Taoist scriptures there are now?"
"Tao Jing?" Cai Yan opened his eyes slightly, obviously thinking that Fei Qian's question was a bit simple and incomprehensible, "Tao Te Ching..."
"In addition to the Tao Te Ching." Fei Qian said, "I know the Tao Te Ching."
"Apart from the Tao Te Ching, does the Taiping Sutra count?" Cai Yan said again.
Fei Qian waved his hand, "How can Taiping be considered? It's far-fetched. There are many prophecies and divinations, which are obviously faked by later generations, just under the name of immortals."
Cai Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Then there is really nothing to say...what happened?"
In fact, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was actually a book called "Zhou Yisan Tongqi" which was worshipped by Taoists in later generations. However, Fei Qian did not see this book, and Cai Yan did not see it either. Because this book was still in the hands of a Taoist priest named Wei, it is still a matter of whether it was written in full at this stage. Moreover, this Taoist priest Wei no longer had the Sanfu in Chang'an, but in Jiangdong, and it was also an ordinary Taoist priest, similar to articles such as the annotation of the Book of Changes written by Confucian children.
Therefore, if we talk about the Taoist "true scriptures", it is really in short supply.
Fei Qian told Cai Yan about the general situation.
Cai Yan nodded, "If you talk about the true Taoist scriptures, it only means the Tao Te Ching, and the rest... Most of them were written by later generations, just under the name of their ancestors... Since you are seeking the true scriptures, can't you just give the Tao Te Ching?"
"I only give it to the Tao Te Ching, then why..." Fei Qian said, halfway through his words, and suddenly a light of inspiration in his head moved, yes, why not?
Misconceptions!
Influenced by the films and televisions of later generations, Fei Qian also felt that he wanted Elder Tang to seek scriptures. After he arrived in the West, the warehouse opened and the scriptures were transported out one by one, which was called the perfection of the Buddhist scriptures.
Then I felt that there were so many Confucian scriptures, and Taoism had to make ten or eight books to be considered rich in the "true scriptures" and reflect the demeanor of a great country...
But Cai Yan's words woke Fei Qian up.
Why do we need so many "true scriptures"?
Why follow the path of Confucianism or Buddhism?
"Hahaha, what my wife said is so much!" Fei Qian couldn't help but hold Cai Yan's hand and laughed. If there weren't any guards around and Fei Zhen stretched her head to look at him, Fei Qian really wanted to hold Cai Yan and kiss her, pulled Cai Yan closer, and whispered, "Night, come to talk to her again at night...I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Fei Qian turned around and left, leaving Cai Yan with a little shame.
『It's really...』 Cai Yan said coquettishly, and when he turned his head, he saw Fei Zhen stretching his head and looking at him with a sloppy eyeball, he couldn't help but look straight, 『Look at your father, call him "Madam when you have something to do, and leave when you have nothing to do... You can't learn from him! Did you know how to memorize what you taught you just now? I'll listen to me!"
Fei Zhen immediately lowered her head like frost, "Oh..."
…(;¬_¬)…
Fei Qian walked faster and faster, and then the smile on his face gradually bloomed.
"The great way is simple..." Fei Qian clapped his hands, walked into the hall, sat down, and said to Pang Tong with a smile, "You and I are all seeking troubles... The heaven is clear, the earth is peaceful, the god is spiritual, the valley is full, all things are born, and the marquis and kings are considered to be the chaste and lords are the chaste and kings! Why do you have to have many true scriptures? The true scriptures are the original ones!"
When Pang Tong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then he laughed, "A small discernment, small discourse, small meaning, small meaning, and small discourse, and the Tao must be simple. It is precisely this principle, and it is precisely this! There are dozens of false sutras, which is not as good as the only true sutra! The true sutra is one of the "Tao Morality", and the other Taoist sutras are all side scriptures and false sutras! This is the theory of the Qinglong Principle! Only in this way can Taoism be passed on in an orderly manner and go straight to the origin! How wonderful, how wonderful!"
Pang Tong became more and more excited the more he said it. "Justice just now felt something was wrong. Now he thought about it, he was wrong here! The arguments of the Qinglong Temple's serious scriptures and the sayings of the prophecies and divinations were that many children of the gentry were dissatisfied. Now if we entrusted other scriptures to entrusted them to those who passed them to obtain scriptures, wouldn't it be a shame for us? How would we talk about the right and right explanations in the future? Taoist scriptures, the only morality, the founding of Lao Tzu, Confucius sought advice from Lao Tzu, and Zhuangzi also sought advice from Lao Tzu. Most of the sutras in the Spring and Autumn Period originated from Lao Tzu. If morality is not the true scripture, what can be called the true scripture?"
Pang Tong clapped his hands and continued, "The true scriptures are the only ones. Tao is morality, Confucianism is the Analects of Confucius, and the other scriptures are either side scriptures, interpretations, or later notes. There are achievements of the sages to establish arguments, and there are also merits derived from later generations. The inheritance is orderly and each has its own origins. It can be completely out of confusion, avoid confusing the order of order, and eliminate greed for others to discuss writings! This is the correct explanation of Qinglong Temple! Fortunately, the lord gave a point and almost missed the big thing!"
Fei Qian smiled and felt that his thoughts were clear.
The various confusing accounts and disgusting events in later feudal dynasties were not created without a clear standard? It is said that it is the rule of law. In the feudal dynasty, which dynasty did not formulate various codes? But in fact, the effect is not good, because no matter how many codes are, it is still ruled by man. Because these officials, from the beginning of learning scriptures, they fell into a vicious circle where they had to find reasons and excuses for scriptures to obey the various strange needs of their superiors and find basis for them to meet the various desires of the upper class.
Finally, the right to explain all matters can be attributed to this or that, which means that they are not only subject to the common people.
The household registration system is required by the top, and various processes are also required by the top. As a result, all the things implemented have to be done by the people, doing that, and proving that their father is the father, the mother is the mother, the grandfather is the grandfather, and the grandmother is the grandmother, and the guy sitting inside does not move his butt.
Does this make sense?
It doesn't make sense, but that's the process.
And how did this process come about?
Because at the beginning of China, at the source of all theories, it was already unreasonable and became chaotic. Whoever fisted was his or her own, and whoever got it was his or her own, could he still expect that the subsequent theoretical development would be logical and abide by the law?
In the end, Tiantian said that he would encourage innovation. Then some people were really stupid and innovative. Immediately, some people rely on their authority and wealth to break through, either buying, swallowing, slapping it to death, or tearing it apart. This is called encouraging innovation?
As a result, there was no innovation. Everyone shouted that they would not give birth and had to lie down and then they were in a panic. They tried every means to fool them, shouted some slogans loudly, and threw out three melons and two dates to express their expression. What's the use?
If they really leave for a few melons and two dates, who would be? Will they be those who were originally obsessed with research and innovation?
How much time and enthusiasm are wasted in this way?
China could have been better!
But this group of wild boars still think they are not wrong, because this has been the case since Confucius and Mencius!
Whether it is true or not, it is all based on the name of the superior. The ancestors' names are called to serve the people and share the worries of the Guizhou leader. In fact, they push all the responsibility to the superiors, to the ancestors, and to the people. Then they just sit and wait and watch, and do nothing. When they see the benefits, they pounce on them and pull them all on themselves!
All the sources are here...
"That's the case..." Fei Qian clapped his hands and laughed haha, "Seeking truth and seeking truth, the only source!"
The king and his subjects looked at each other and laughed, as if they had put down a huge rock in their hearts.
Relaxed and pleasant.
Chapter completed!
