Lu Yan took the initiative to stand up, put his hands behind his waist, pretended to cough, and then began to lecture: "The teacher's original words in "Fei Twelve Sons" are: "Learning about the past kings without knowing their heritage, but still playing with great ambitions, hearing and seeing"
Zabo. According to the old theory, it is called the Five Elements. It is very eccentric and has no classification, it is secluded and has no explanation, and it is closed and has no solution.
It is intended to criticize those rotten scholars who roughly follow the ancient saint kings, but do not know the essentials of the saint kings to govern the country, and yet they still think they are righteous.
The theory of the Five Elements in this statement is very different from what Miss Moon Goddess said."
The moon god had a lot of free time and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"The theory of the Five Elements has a long history. Human beings have been trying to understand the world of existence in their own way. In ancient times, people believed that the Five Elements in the sky refer to the five stars: Chenxing, Taibai, Yinghuo, Suixing, and Filling Stars; there are five elements on the ground, which refer to
Five substances: water, fire, wood, earth, and metal. These five substances constitute the world on earth. I call these the original five elements.
King Wu of Zhou asked Jizi, a minister of the Yin Dynasty, about the strategy of governing the country. Jizi replied with nine categories, the first category being the five elements.
The five elements were all related to agriculture at first. The leveling and management of cultivated land - soil management; the water conservancy project to prevent droughts and floods - water management; the discovery of fire made the ancient civilization take a big step forward, and fire control became a guarantee for people's production and life.
Necessary means for smooth progress; plus two handicraft production activities-gold management and wood management, which were called the Five Works in ancient times. "Divination" states: The emperor's five workers and ministers, and the emperor's five ministers are upright. This is the management of the five workers.
official position. It can be seen that the five elements, as substances closely related to human life, have been effectively managed in the Yin Dynasty.
The meaning of the original five elements has changed, and they have become the five basic resources for building a country. Only by firmly controlling the five elements and using them properly can the emperor establish a country and consolidate his rule. When it comes to governing the country, the distribution of the five elements must be considered.
The ruler's virtue and behavior are directly related to this problem. In this way, there is a correlation between the original five elements and people.
The first of the nine categories is the five elements, and the second is the five things. Appearance is called respectful, words are obeyed, vision is bright, listening is clever, and thinking is wise. The five elements in the material sense are the basic resources that rulers must master to build a country.
Things are a means for rulers to educate the people with moral power. The combination of the Five Elements and the Five Things started the transformation from the Five Elements Theory of Nature to the Five Elements Theory of Society. This is also the source of my thoughts on the Five Elements Theory of Confucian Zi Sizi.
By the Spring and Autumn Period, there were more and more theories about the Five Elements. It was not only the five basic substances used to explain the structure of the world, but also was used to explain many problems in the social field. "Five" has become a kind of thinking that originated from the Five Elements.
Method. The founder Confucius began the true combination of the five elements of nature and Confucian moral etiquette.
Confucius talked about the five elements: old friends, the virtues of heaven and earth, the intersection of yin and yang, the meeting of ghosts and gods, the beauty of the five elements... The five elements are broadcast in the four seasons, and the four qi are combined and then the moon is born. He included 'ritual' in the natural evolution of heaven.
Ritual must be based on Taiyi, divided into heaven and earth, transformed into yin and yang, transformed into the four seasons, arranged into ghosts and gods...
According to Zengzi, from the "Five Elements" of the human subject's interaction with society, to the "Five Ways" of cultivating personal material life, to the "Five Virtues" of cultivating personal spirit and moral reputation, it completes the process from the outside to the inside.
An argument for Confucian moral cultivation.
An individual's life is the material foundation based on society, and a personal reputation is the spiritual resource based on society. Based on society, it requires both 'action' and 'morality', and the bridge that unifies the two is the 'body'. Zi Si Zi's
The Five Elements Theory talks about how to transform external behaviors into inner consciousness.
The benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trustworthiness mentioned by the Moon Goddess are the realm of sincerity that Zisizi hopes that we can achieve.
To summarize what I just said: the original Five Elements emerged very early, and the Five Elements in the Yin Dynasty combined with the Five Things opened the starting point for the transformation of the meaning of the Five Elements into many fields.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Five Elements have become a common concept in society, such as 'Five Directions', 'Five Materials', 'Five Flavors', etc., and 'Five' has become a way of thinking.
Confucius attributed the origin of "ritual" to "Tai Yi", which laid a theoretical foundation for the combination of virtue and heaven.
Zeng Zi's "Five Elements", "Five Ways" and "Five Virtues" from the outside to the inside are the key links in transforming external behavior into internal virtue.
Zisi Zi followed Confucius's "ritual" and Zengzi's "action", and built a unique Confucian theory of the five elements with the help of the five elements concept.
This is the evolution of the original Five Elements theory to my Confucian Five Elements theory. It is definitely not as easy as what the Moon Goddess said, the Wood God is benevolence, the Metal God is righteousness, the Fire God is etiquette, the Water God is wisdom, and the Earth God is faith.
.”
After Lu Yan said this, he breathed a sigh of relief and took it easy. It was obvious that he had spent a lot of energy and energy.
Luna's eyes have long been closed, and her frowning and trembling eyebrows prove that she is very uneasy inside.
"He, or a person?" Gongsun Qian swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling.
Gongsun Ren had the same reaction as his son, his mouth was a little dry, "Sages, ordinary people cannot learn from one person's knowledge. What he just said may not be true even for the leaders of various Confucian schools.
Exit. Lu Yan can actually be... a once-in-a-century prodigy, what he says is true."
Yan Lu noticed the conversation between Gongsun and his son, shook his head, looked at Lu Yan, and thought to himself: "No, it's far more than that. You once said that all people live in the same world, and all the schools of thought have different opinions about the world.
In the final analysis, exploration can be traced back to ancient human practices. If the moon god cannot discover your hidden murderous intention, then the result is already doomed."
"Do you understand?" Xia Fuqiao whispered to Qin Wuyang in the Mo family.
Qin Wuyang glanced at Juzi and replied in a low voice: "I understand... maybe half of you."
The class teacher glanced at Qin Wuyang and said, "You understand a hammer, but I only understand a general outline."
Moon God opened his eyes and asked: "Since the Confucian Five Elements Theory has evolved and developed over several generations, sir, and you admire it so much, why does Master Xun refute it in this way?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Miss Luna does not have a deep understanding of the theoretical disputes between the various schools of Confucianism, so you rashly use the teacher's "Not the Twelve Sons". This is what you are doing.
The second error.
Originally, with Moon Goddess' ice and snow intelligence, she shouldn't have made these two mistakes. It seems that it was due to her excessive desire to win or lose.
I still want to remind you that the original purpose of academic debate is to seek mutual progress and to pursue the debate to defeat the opponent. Isn’t it a case of falling behind?”
By the end of Lu Yan's words, he was already a bit like an onmyoji, and he glanced at the other party in an incomprehensible way.
Making things difficult for me? It doesn’t exist.
Moon God's silver teeth bit secretly, "You bastard, how dare you mock me in such a weird way!"
She suppressed her inner emotions and tried to appear as calm as water: "Sir, you are right, the moon god is taught. But you haven't answered my question yet. Why did Master Xun criticize the Confucian Five Elements Theory?"
"After what I just said, you must also know that Zisizi's Five Elements theory is to pursue the unity of personal external behavior and inner morality, to achieve sincerity, and to achieve the way of heaven.
Going back to the original question, what the teacher is criticizing is the corrupt Confucianism who imitates the ancient sage kings in governing the country but does not know how to govern the country. The so-called five elements of sage kings governing the country and the five elements of Zisizi's personal cultivation are far from enough to bring stability to today's troubled times.
.
In ancient times, when the kings were kings, the people were few and the resources were abundant. The sage king controlled the five elements, and his virtues were the best in the world. The people were not under great pressure to survive, and they were all willing to obey the sage king.
Corrupt Confucianism exaggerates the power of the moral education of the sage kings, thinking that virtue can govern the world. Can virtue keep the people fed and clothed? This is really ridiculous.
People who have enough food and clothing know honor and disgrace. When people face survival problems, the power of education will be greatly weakened. Therefore, the teacher proposed the combination of etiquette and law, standardizing labor and production with law, enriching materials, and educating people with etiquette.
, to make the country peaceful. Do you think the teacher is right or wrong to criticize these corrupt scholars?"
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes.
The six-fingered black man nodded when he saw this, knowing that his goal should be achieved, "After a full circle, we have returned to Xunzi's thoughts on governing the country. The Yin and Yang family is somewhat weak in this area. It seems that Lu Yan is going to win."
Moon Goddess lowered his head slightly, "That's what Master Xun is criticizing."
