Chapter 2602: Learning from the Scriptures, the Only True Scripture
At present, there are only two and a half books in the Han Dynasty that can actually be regarded as Taoist scriptures.
That's right, the Taoist disciples of the Han Dynasty are so pitiful nowadays.
One of them is of course the Taoist classic, the Tao Te Ching.
This is why Wei Kang felt that his opportunity had come. In this era, there were no such things as Du Niang. You could easily find the original text of the Tao Te Ching with a simple search, and you could also find the translation and annotations. Among the children of aristocratic families,
Because Huang-Lao's studies have been relatively in decline, among the classics, there are not many people who specifically study the "Tao Te Ching", and even less than a quarter of the people who study the "Book of Changes".
Those difficult-to-understand hexagrams in the "Book of Changes" would not be easy to understand unless one already has a certain understanding of them. It was like when Fei Qian went south to Jingzhou and listened to Xunshi's lectures in Yingchuan. Then Xunshi said he wanted to talk about "The Book of Changes".
The Book of Changes is a collection of all directions. This shows that the Book of Changes cannot be understood by ordinary people, let alone the Tao Te Ching, which has fewer people studying it than the Book of Changes.
The other book is, of course, Zhuangzi.
Lao Zhuang does not separate families.
But the problem is that "Zhuangzi" can be said to be a Taoist scripture, or not. Because in fact, "Zhuangzi" prefers to show Zhuangzi's own critical spirit, involving philosophy, art, aesthetics, aesthetics, etc. It is rich in content,
It is broad and profound, and has discussions on many aspects such as philosophy, life, politics, society, art, and the theory of cosmogenesis, not just Taoism. Of course, if we insist on saying that "Taoism" is in a broad sense, then Buddhists and Confucians
Believers can also say that their sect is also in a broad sense, but then they have fallen into the cycle of who is whose father, right?
Later, the Taoists did not dare to directly say that it was based on Zhuangzi, so they secretly named Zhuangzi a Nanhua Zhenren, and then said that this was the Taoist "Nanhua Zhenjing".
As for whether it is a true scripture, Fei Qian doesn't think so, but Mr. Zhuang must be "shocked".
After all, Zhuangzi and Laozi were both called the same before. How come that in the blink of an eye, Laozi became the incarnation of Laojun, while Zhuangzi himself could only become a real person?
Taoist disciples call themselves Tianzun, which means that firstly I am older than Zhuangzi, and secondly I am the incarnation of Laojun...
This logic turns back again, as if to prove who is whose father.
Zhuangzi expressed his dissatisfaction, "Then the Yellow Emperor and Duke of Zhou are still older. Why don't you talk about the Yellow Emperor and Duke of Zhou?"
The Taoist disciples made a sad face, do you always think that we are not kidding? We are, they are all incarnations, they are all...
Zhuangzi had no choice but to say "tangerine sesame wheat peel" and let it go.
The remaining half of the Taoist scriptures? Yes, it is the "Book of Changes".
After all, is it necessary to have a relationship with Confucianism?
In the current Han Dynasty, no matter what type of scriptures it is, many of them have been stamped and stamped by Confucian disciples. Not only stamped, but also spit in it. Come on, grab food. We are professionals, who is afraid?
who?!
Take Dong Zhongshu’s thoughts as an example. They are not only originally from Confucianism, but also from Yin-Yang, Legalism, and Mohism. Then Mr. Dong coughed and said, “Who said it’s yours? Do you have the copyright? Let’s talk about it if you have the copyright.”
, I will write one more thing now and add a clause. These things will be mine for all eternity, not to mention fifty years after death!
When a shameless person fights with a shameless person, the shameless person will definitely suffer some losses.
It's like using the banner of a century-old Chinese brand and selling Western craftsmanship and standards to create a set of knives that can't chop garlic. The society under the rule of law really saved it. Otherwise, according to traditional customs, this would have to be picked on the spot.
He kicked the sign to pieces!
Regarding this matter, is the rule of law right or wrong?
This is the problem Fei Qian is facing now.
He cannot easily delegate the power 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 them set the standards for everything, then who knows if the knife that was originally used for chopping garlic will develop into a knife that cannot clap garlic. It was originally milk that meets the protein standard.
After that, it turned into milk that not only reduced the protein but also increased the number of colonies. It was originally an APP that took up a small space and had no ads. After it developed, it became an APP that not only took up a huge space but also couldn't turn off the ads...
Among the Chinese feudal dynasties, there were many people who looked kind and polite on the surface, but inside they were like ghosts.
Let these people compile some "true scriptures", can you rest assured?
After all, even the society of later generations, where the rule of law far surpasses that of the Han Dynasty, is so magical, let alone compiling a religious system that is purely based on the heart as evidence and is based on idealism. A slight negligence will lead to a big disaster.
.
Just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion...
By the way, some people in later generations still say that the three Zhang Jiao brothers are also the incarnations of Lao Jun...
The incarnation of God?
The reason why Fei Qian focuses on the serious interpretation of Qinglong Temple is to cut off Confucianism's use of prophecies to make small talk and big ideas, and move towards the so-called idealism route. Confucianism's own education, enlightenment, and inheritance are already very remarkable, so why bother
Fighting for jobs with religion?
Based on this point, Fei Qian needs to be more cautious about Taoist scriptures. It is easy for anyone to mess around, and it is also easy to say irresponsible words, but it is necessary to build a shining lighthouse for China for hundreds or even thousands of years.
, but not easy.
This time I deceived people from the Snowy Area casually, next time I can deceive anyone from the Northern Wilderness, and then I deceive my own people, and finally I even deceive myself to the point of believing...
For example, China has "a vast land and abundant resources" and "a kingdom in heaven".
Fei Qian knew very well that China would be short of oil in the future. To what extent? So much so that even though they knew that monopoly would lead to corruption, they still had to let the energy sector have a monopoly. Not all the oil rats caught out of the oil barrels in these years were the same.
Only two, but a nest and a nest...
Then he said that as long as poisonous wine does not cause an attack, it can still quench thirst. If you don't drink it, you will die on the spot. If you drink it, you 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 also some rare minerals, not to mention. China even lacks wood, because the Outer Xing'an Mountains, which has the most wood in China, has been cut off by prodigal sons.
.
Of course, these missing things cannot fall from the sky.
Therefore, China must expand proactively.
Active expansion naturally includes the use of force, culture, and 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 enlightenment to erode and naturalize the Southern Xiongnu, then the Snow Region was Fei Qian's attempt to use religion to infiltrate and eventually assimilate.
Hey, Fei Qian couldn't help but think of his own archive of the Civilization game that he had never cleared...
If you have an archive, try it first. If it doesn't work, you can just load the archive and try again.
"Edit" cannot be made up.
Everyone is staring at Fei Qian. If Fei Qian makes it up, the people below will make it up even more. And they will try every means to make it up. But in the end, Fei Qian has to endure the bitter consequences and let ordinary people make it up.
The people ate it.
In fact, there were emperors in history who did this.
For example, Wenzi, Liezi, and Gengsangzi were included in the Dao Jing system in the Tang Dynasty...
During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor wanted to promote Taoism, but it turned out that Taoism was too pitiful. Only two old men, Lao and Zhuang, were left to support it. They also had to argue with Confucianism about the Book of Changes. They simply wanted nothing.
, how can this be done, so the Emperor of Tang Dynasty announced with a stroke of his pen that from now on, Wenzi, Liezi, and Geng Sangzi will all belong to Taoism. Who is in favor and who is against?
The ministers glanced left and right, looked at each other, and then lowered their heads in unison: "My emperor is wise!"
This approach is indeed trouble-free, but what is the actual effect?
Originally, the thoughts of these people were not necessarily Taoist. In order to be related to Taoism, more lies were spawned and more loopholes were created. Take Wenzi as an example. In fact, he and Confucius were contemporaries.
Confucius also consulted Laozi for knowledge, but just like that, Wenzi is said to be a Taoist? Does that mean that Confucius, who also consulted Laozi for advice, is also a Taoist?
It was like what was supposed to be a very gorgeous Taoist robe, but ended up with several patches of inconsistent colors on it.
Patch number one.
Then, there was a gap in Patch No. 1, and later generations patched it again in order to make things far-fetched.
Patch No. 2, No. 3...
Finally, it should be on the extremely gorgeous Chinese Taoist robe. At first glance, it is all patches. Only the patches are visible. What it originally looked like. My thoughts, which should be the understanding of heaven and earth, are just covered bit by bit.
There is no trace. Only the gods are left in the sky, colorful, but the gold and jade are outside...
Can I wear it?
It can indeed be worn.
However, it shouldn't have been like this originally. What brilliant thoughts and beautiful clothes ended up being like this patch or that patch in later generations?
Fei Qian frowned.
"Shi Yuan, please stay here for a moment..." Fei Qian coughed, "Some... um, come as soon as you go..."
Pang Tong's eyes wandered for a moment, he didn't dare to smile, he just nodded seriously.
Of course Feiqian was not going to change clothes for convenience, but was preparing to find foreign aid.
Known as the library where the great man walks, Master Cai.
Fei Qian sauntered into the backyard with his hands behind his back, turned around the corridor, and entered the back hall. He looked up and saw Cai Yan teaching Fei Zhen.
What’s on it is the Book of Songs.
Fei Qian listened to a few sentences, it was "Chen Feng·East Gate Pond"...
Speaking of these ancient scriptures, such as the Three Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Book of Songs, they all need to be explained and taught by a master, otherwise it is easy to understand them one-sidedly, or only see their superficial meanings, just like
This is "Chen Feng·East Gate Pond". If you only read the literal meaning, then it is just a scene of men and women at the city gate soaking and washing hemp, and then singing to each other while working.
But if the historical background of Chen State is added to it, some new meanings may be derived...
After all, the article needs to be connected with the context, and it must be interpreted according to the background of the time when the article was written, so that it can be regarded as a more correct way to understand an article. As for the historical environment of Chen State at that time, if someone does not know how to explain it, just follow it
On the surface, it means that this is a group of bad men and women singing obscene songs to each other, which is somewhat excessive.
After all, the Book of Songs was also revised by Master Confucius. If you say this is a pornographic song, wouldn’t you be slapping the old Master in the face?
Fei Qian thought about this, and suddenly seemed to be touched by something. He couldn't help but stop and frowned in thought.
After a while, Cai Yan's teaching to Fei Zhen came to an end, and Yingying walked out and came to Fei Qian's side and saluted, "I've seen my husband... What are you doing...?"
"Ah? Oh..." Fei Qian came back to his senses, "Nothing's wrong, um... By the way, madam, do you know what other Taoist scriptures are available at the moment?"
"Tao Jing?" Cai Yan opened his eyes slightly, apparently feeling that Fei Qian's question was a bit superficial and incomprehensible, "Tao Jing..."
"Except for the Tao Te Ching." Fei Qian said, "I know the Tao Te Ching."
"Aside from the Tao Te Ching, does the Tai Ping Jing count?" Cai Yan asked again.
Fei Qian waved his hand, "How can we calculate peace? It's far-fetched. There are many prophecies. It's obviously a forgery by later generations, just using the name of an immortal."
Cai Yan rolled his eyes, "If you say so, it really doesn't exist anymore... What's wrong?"
In fact, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was actually a "Zhouyi Shen Tongqi" that was enshrined as the classic by later Taoists. However, Fei Qian did not have this scripture, and Cai Yan did not see it. Because this book is still in the surname
In the hands of a Taoist priest in Wei, it is still unclear whether it has been completely written down at this stage. Moreover, this Taoist priest in Wei is no longer Sanfu in Chang'an, but in Jiangdong. It is also an ordinary Taoist scripture, similar to the Book of Changes written by Confucian disciples.
Articles such as annotations.
Therefore, when it comes to the Taoist "True Scripture", it is really in short supply.
Fei Qian told Cai Yan the general situation.
Cai Yan nodded, "If we talk about the real Taoist scriptures, there is only the Tao Te Ching. The rest...most of them were written by later generations, just borrowing the names of their ancestors...Since we are seeking the truth,
Sutra, then why not just give it to the Tao Te Ching?”
"Only give me the Tao Te Ching, so what..." Fei Qian laughed, and halfway through his words, an idea suddenly came to his head, yes, why not?
Wrong thinking!
Affected by the movies and TV shows of later generations, Fei Qian also felt that he wanted to go to Elder Tang to learn the scriptures. After arriving in Xitian, the warehouse was opened and the scriptures were carried out one by one, and then it was called the completion of the scriptures.
Then I felt that there were so many Confucian scriptures, and Taoism had to produce ten or eight volumes in order to be considered a rich "true scripture" and reflect the magnanimity of a great country...
But Cai Yan's words awakened Fei Qian.
Why are there so many "true scriptures"?
Why should we follow the path of Confucianism or Buddhism?
"Hahaha, what the lady said is true!" Fei Qian couldn't help but hold Cai Yan's hand and laughed. If it weren't for the guards around him and Feizhen stretching his head to watch, Fei Qian would really want to hug Cai Yan.
After a kiss, he pulled Cai Yan closer and whispered, "I'll talk to my wife again tonight... I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Fei Qian turned around and left, leaving behind a somewhat shy Cai Yan.
"It's really..." Cai Yan said coquettishly. When he turned around and saw Fei Zhen stretching her head and looking over with her eyes rolling, she couldn't help but put on a straight face, "Look at your father. Only call me ma'am when something happens. It's okay."
He waved his hand and walked away... You can't imitate him! Can you memorize what I just taught you? Memorize it and I'll listen!"
Feizhen immediately lowered her head as if she had been hit by frost, "Oh..."
……(;￢＿￢)……
Fei Qian walked faster and faster, and then the smile gradually bloomed on his face.
"The road 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 asking for trouble... When the sky is clear, the earth is peaceful,
Gods have one spirit, grains have enough, all things have life, kings have one and the world is pure! Why bother with so many true scriptures? The true scriptures are essentially one!"
When Pang Tong heard this, he was startled for a moment, thought about it, and then started to laugh, "A small argument ruins the words, a small words ruins the meaning, a small meaning ruins the Tao, a small Tao is impenetrable, and the belief is bound to be simple. This is the truth, and it is exactly like this."
! There are dozens of apocryphal scriptures, not as good as the only true scripture! The true scripture is the "Tao Te", and the rest of the Taoist scriptures are all apocryphal scriptures! This is consistent with the theory of the correct interpretation of the Qinglong Sutra! In this way, Taoism can be inherited in an orderly manner.
Straight back to the source! Wonderful, wonderful!』
The more Pang Tong talked, the more excited he became, "Just now, Cai Chen felt that something was wrong. Now that I think about it, that is where I am wrong! Many nobles are dissatisfied with Qinglong Temple's serious theory and prophecies. Now if we pretend to
Wouldn’t it be self-degrading to introduce other scriptures as true scriptures and pass them on to those who learn from them? How will we talk about the true scriptures and correct interpretations in the future? The Taoist scriptures are the only moral principles established by Laozi. Confucius asked Laozi for advice, and Zhuangzi also asked Laozi for advice. Spring and Autumn Period
Many of the scriptures originate from Laozi. If morality is not a true scripture, what scripture can be called a true scripture?"
Pang Tong clapped his hands and continued, "The True Classic is the only one. Taoism is morality, Confucianism is the Analects, and the rest of the scriptures are either side scriptures, additional interpretations, or later annotations. They have the contribution of the sages who established the theory, and they also have some
The honors derived later are inherited in an orderly manner and have their own origins. They can avoid being far-fetched, eliminating attachments, avoiding confusing the order of succession, and avoiding corrupting other people's works! This method is consistent with the correct explanation of Qinglong Temple! Fortunately, the Lord has mentioned it,
I almost missed something big!』
Fei Qian smiled and felt that his thoughts were clear.
Aren’t all the confusing accounts and disgusting incidents in later feudal dynasties caused by the lack of clear standards? Speaking of the rule of law, among the feudal dynasties, which dynasty did not formulate various laws and regulations? But
In fact, the effect is not good, because no matter how many laws there are, it is still ruled by people, because these officials, from the beginning of studying the scriptures, have to find reasons and excuses for the scriptures to obey the orders of their superiors.
A strange need to satisfy the various desires of the upper class and find a basis for it in a strange circle.
In the end, the right to interpret all things can be attributed to this or that, but it does not belong to the common people.
The household registration system was formulated by the above-mentioned requirements, and various procedures were also formulated by the above-mentioned requirements. As a result, all the things that were implemented turned out to require ordinary people to do this and do that to prove that their father is their father, their mother is their mother, and their grandfather is
It's grandpa, grandma is grandma, and the guy sitting inside doesn't even move his buttocks.
Does this make sense?
It doesn't make sense, but that's the process.
And where did this process come from?
Because at the beginning of China, where all theories originated, it was already unreasonable and chaotic. Whoever fisted the shit belonged to him, and whoever grabbed it belonged to him. Then we can still expect that the subsequent theoretical development will be consistent with logic.
,obey the law?
At the end of the day, Tian Tian said that innovation should be encouraged, and then someone was really stupid enough to innovate. Immediately, someone relied on their power and wealth to rush in like a pig, either to purchase, annex, or slap him to death.
, or tear it into pieces, is this called encouraging innovation?
As a result, there is no innovation at all. Everyone is shouting that they have no more children and want to lie down, so they panic, try their best to deceive, shout some slogans loudly, and throw out three melons and two dates to express their feelings. What's the use?
If they really left for three melons and two dates, who would it be? Would it be those people who were originally obsessed with research and innovation?
How much time and enthusiasm are wasted by doing this?
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!
Regardless of whether it is true or false, it is all based on the name of the superiors, the name of the ancestors, and it is all about serving the people and sharing the worries of the head of Guizhou. In fact, all the responsibilities are passed on to the superiors, to the ancestors, and all the affairs to the subordinates.
Push it to the people, and then you just sit and wait and watch, doing nothing. When you see the benefits, you pounce on it and take it all on yourself!
The source of everything is right here...
"That's it..." Fei Qian clapped his hands and burst into laughter, "Seeking truth and rightness is the only source!"
The king and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, as if they had let go of a huge stone in their hearts.
Relaxed and enjoyable.
