Since there are already such people, it means that Confucianism in this era has discovered the problem and is willing to correct it. However, it is limited by the fact that Confucius was praised too highly at the beginning. Now there are some things that are difficult to change.
It can only be repaired on a small scale.
It’s not that the great Confucians cannot accept this change. To be honest, creatures like the Great Confucians have their own opinions on the words of saints, but there are some things they cannot say.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Xi made a decision for Confucianism. Great Confucians, you should hurry up and come up with your own Confucianism that is suitable for this era. Anyway, this generation of Confucian scholars has been destroyed by hundreds of schools of thought, so you can go ahead and do whatever you want.
Any change in Confucianism will have a huge impact on the middle and lower class Confucian students, and the middle and lower class Confucian students also hold the great killer weapon of the words of the sage. If a great Confucian ignores it and changes Confucian thought to suit this era, I am afraid he will only be kicked down.
The location is accessible.
In this level of internal war within Confucianism, even if Confucius himself is reincarnated, there is only one way to lose. Without first destroying the middle and lower classes of Confucianism, it is impossible to change Confucianism to suit this era.
This situation is basically an endless cycle. The great Confucians discovered the problem and wanted to correct it but were unable to do so. To correct the Confucian thoughts without hindrance, the only way to correct the Confucian thoughts was to shake the minds of the saints. The middle and lower Confucian scholars were powerless to stop the great Confucians.
the behavior of.
However, the thoughts of the saints have been shaken. Then the most important thing for Confucianism is not to change the thinking, but to consolidate the position. In that case, it is obvious that Confucianism is going to be pushed off the altar. Is there any point in changing the thinking? To preserve the orthodoxy of Confucianism
That was the most important thing at that time.
Now what Chen Xi is doing is to break this dead cycle. The ideas of saints have been basically defeated by hundreds of schools of thought among the middle and lower class Confucian scholars. Confucian scholars have basically worshiped the saints. However, the orthodox status of Confucianism has not been shaken. The great Confucians still hold the
Another artifact capable of maintaining the orthodox status of Confucianism for hundreds of years.
"We Confucians have sorted out the inheritance of ancient times, and we Confucians have inherited civilization!" The great Confucians who have integrated all the information deep in Mount Tai are qualified to say this sentence, and this sentence is enough to support the centuries-old orthodoxy of Confucianism.
Only in this way can Confucians have enough time to deal with their own ideological problems, and to be honest, if you do it once and forcefully change the thoughts of saints, future generations will not have too much pressure to do it. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first one to do it will
The one behind is smooth sailing.
As for the failure of the change, to be honest, Chen Xi has given everything he should give to Confucianism. If this fails, then Chen Xi will have no choice but to go into battle naked.
After all, Confucian thought should indeed change. As for the Bai Jia, to be honest, Chen Xi doesn't think very highly of the Bai Jia, which has been suppressed for hundreds of years. Although it still has some strength, it is really weak when divided among the various schools.
.
In this case, only Confucianism, which has been the leader for many years, changes its own thinking, and other schools can withstand Confucianism's attack, and have the opportunity to be forced to change and adjust their own school's thinking to adapt to this era. After all, Confucianism
It's a big flag.
Chen Xi doesn't have much hope for the current Bai Jia. After all, they have been suppressed for too long. Chen Xi knows that giving them the opportunity to rebuild the calendar is clear. Confucianism has taken over the general trend. If Bai Jia wants to grow, the only choice is to be rooted in the huge base.
among the common people.
There is nothing that can quickly accumulate vitality than the accumulation of numbers. To play Hundred Schools of Thought, one prerequisite is that a certain school cannot be too powerful!
There is no need to go into details about the current reality. Confucianism is scorning hundreds of schools of thought. How about taking advantage of the decades when Confucianism has changed its thinking to add some blood to the hundreds of schools of thought? Turning back, the exchange of blood has been completed. The old and the new are being weeded out. From top to bottom, Confucianism has become in line with this era.
It doesn't take much effort to defeat hundreds of schools.
Only by supporting the Baijia now, when the Confucian reform is completed and the trend of the times develops, and the wheel of history begins to roll over the Baijia again, can the Baijia, which has regained its considerable vitality, be able to resist the wheel of history and at the same time transform itself.
Thoughts are in line with this era.
As for those unlucky schools that were crushed into the dust of history before they had time to reform, Chen Xi could only say that they were not suitable for this era.
Unlike the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chen Xi would not do the kind of thing where the country conforms to the school. The country is the country. Only when the school conforms to the country and the times will it benefit the people of this era. As for other methods, they are all evil.
After Chen Xi explained all these messy things to Lu Su, Lu Su looked at Chen Xi in silence.
"Have you been prepared to do this a long time ago?" Lu Su asked expressionlessly.
"That's not true." Chen Xi shook his head. Lu Su's face looked better, but then Chen Xi said, "You also know the details. My handling methods are very casual. The overall framework has indeed been determined in advance.
.”
"It really seems like your style." Lu Su said after being silent for a long time, "You are prepared for a rainy day, and you can always look far ahead."
"It's nothing. Let's just leave it as it is. None of those great Confucians are fools. This situation is a turning point for Confucians. It depends on how they choose. Should they follow the trend of history or cause trouble for us regardless of it?" Chen Xi smiled.
He said, "Let Xianhe handle this matter. Just explain the cause and effect clearly."
"It's okay, those people are all human beings, but after this time, the banner of Confucianism may be torn apart. The Six Classics note to me, those great Confucians are not of the same mind." Lu Su let out a long sigh.
"That can't be helped. After all, Confucianism is too strong. The current situation of Baijia is inherently insufficient. Even if the materials I prepared are used to transfuse blood behind my back, they can at most just supplement the previous ideas. If they want to change, their background is not enough."
Chen Xi shrugged and said helplessly.
"Besides, I have never thought about letting any one school dominate. That would be bad. It can occupy a dominant position, but I will not allow one school to dominate. Only when we meet our opponents can we squeeze out the potential of both parties. The same is true for the schools.
"Chen Xi said without concealment.
"Are you sure the scholars won't cause trouble for you?" Lu Su nodded to express his understanding, but he was still a little worried about Chen Xi. Although he had other thoughts, the two of them were comrades who had been together through the most difficult times, and their friendship was
Never adulterated.
"There are a few who don't know how." Chen Xi had already thought about Da Ru's matter and didn't hesitate in answering.
"What about the others?" Lu Su looked at Chen Xi helplessly, which was not reassuring at all.
"I am like a lonely moon in the sky. As long as I don't have any problems, no one will have any problems." Chen Xi smiled and said, this is the truth! (To be continued.)
