In the courtyard, Liu Xiu was writing, writing the Heart Sutra.
This world is an idealistic world. If the mind is strong enough, it can become a saint or a Buddha with just one thought. It has immeasurable magical power.
This is the difference between the worlds. A great sage is born in the main world. Even if his mind is strong, he still needs huge resources to transform it into cultivation and strength.
The reason why Hongyi was so powerful in the later period of Yang Shen was because the "Book of Changes" explained the rules of heaven and the birth and death of all things.
As for the truth, a thousand people have a thousand understandings, many of which even Hong Yi himself does not know.
In fact, Hong Xuanji was also very powerful, and the Neo-Confucianism he founded can be said to be the orthodoxy of Confucianism.
Neo-Confucianism pays attention to moral integrity, restraint of desires, maintenance of one's self, ethics of monarch and ministers, moral order, etc. It is essentially the mainstream of Confucianism.
If it develops normally, Neo-Confucianism will be very good.
It can be said that there are no flaws in Neo-Confucianism, and those who have flaws are the masters of Neo-Confucianism.
Because the master of Neo-Confucianism had a failed character, Neo-Confucianism was also a failure.
Of course, the biggest failure of Neo-Confucianism is not the preservation of natural principles and the destruction of human desires, nor the three cardinal principles and five constant principles. It is that the Song Dynasty promoted Neo-Confucianism, but was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty; the Ming Dynasty promoted Neo-Confucianism, but was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty; the Qing Dynasty promoted Neo-Confucianism, but was also destroyed by the Western powers
Invasion, extreme frustration.
There seems to be a concept that those who believe in Neo-Confucianism are waiting to destroy the country, waiting to be ridden by barbarians and foreign devils.
In the eyes of the world, ideas that can be defeated are correct ideas; while ideas that cannot be defeated, no matter how brilliant they are, are false and empty.
Therefore, in the eyes of later generations of China, Neo-Confucianism was a hypocrite and feudal dregs, with a reputation as stinky as dog excrement.
"Confucianism has two cores, one is order and the other is harmony. Order derives from benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, trust, loyalty, filial piety and incorruptibility. It is also the king and ministers, father, father and son. As for harmony, etiquette is used, and harmony is precious. Without order, talk about
Harmony is all false harmony and benevolence; talking about order without harmony is all tyranny!"
Liu Xiu thought: "Whether it is psychology or Neo-Confucianism, it is essentially Confucianism, which is fundamentally inseparable from the two major harmonies of order and harmony. In Neo-Confucianism, order is the main thing and harmony is the supplement. The so-called harmony can be done for the sake of order."
Sacrificing harmony has been favored by kings throughout the ages; but in the study of mind, harmony is the main thing and order is the supplement.”
"In the eyes of Neo-Confucianists, harmony is a means and order is the goal; but in the eyes of psychologists, order is a means and harmony is the goal."
"For example, in the eyes of psychologists of all ages, the so-called Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules are just means, not ends. If the Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules can maintain social harmony, then use them; if the Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules cannot maintain social harmony, then discard them!"
"But in the eyes of Neo-Confucianists, the so-called Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules are ends, not means. If the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules are shaken, the foundation of the country is shaken. The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but the foundation of the country cannot be shaken!"
After thinking about it, I thought of Zhongyong again.
"The standard between true Confucianism and false Confucianism is the mean. The mean is not mediocrity, but not going to extremes! Neo-Confucianism in later generations is notorious because it goes to extremes. Preserving natural principles and destroying human desires is good at the beginning. Natural principles are benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust.
, for the sake of natural justice, eliminate your own irrational desires. But gradually, you went to extremes and became notorious!"
Liu Xiu thought about it and understood the true meaning of Confucianism, with order and harmony as the core and moderation as the standard, but each has its own emphasis.
Neo-Confucianism is materialism; Xinxue is idealism.
Neo-Confucianism is a conservative; Xinxue is a reformist.
Neo-Confucianism is to cultivate bureaucrats; Xinxue is to cultivate practical talents.
Neo-Confucianism is conducive to stability; Xinxue is conducive to reform.
After comparing and understanding, Liu Xiu took up his pen and began to write the Heart Sutra.
"Heaven and earth are originally lawless, and the heartbeat creates all kinds of dharmas; heaven and earth have no way, and the heartbeat evolves into a great way. Why do the heaven and earth open? It's just because my heart wants to open the sky, so the sky opens; why the sun and the moon rise, just because of what my mind points to. , so the sun and the moon rotate. The Tao is originally nameless, but the name is given to it as the Tao; the gods have no form, and they use falsehood to become true."
…………
In the palace, Emperor Qian was processing the memorials and reviewing them very quickly.
After five tribulations, the soul was powerful, and the soul turned into lines. He kept flipping through the memorial, and processed the memorial quickly. The contents of the memorial entered the soul one after another, and he was constantly analyzing. Then the red pen flew up, writing and reviewing quickly. Memorial.
Being an emperor is not easy.
When you are an emperor, you have to deal with dozens of kilograms of memorials every day.
Many things were trivial, but Emperor Qian didn't dare to slack off at all. As the saying goes, in the eyes of the emperor, no matter how small a matter was, to the people, it was a matter of life and death, and it could destroy families and destroy families.
In the memorial, there are many ambiguities, many unclear words, and many speciousities.
As a king, you must figure out the intentions of your ministers.
After a long time, after reviewing a pile of memorials, Emperor Qian breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to drink a cup of tea.
If you want to be an emperor and don't want to be a holy emperor, you are not a good emperor.
In ancient times, the Holy Emperor was a sun god who could practice Taoism and live forever; but today's emperors cannot practice Taoism and live forever. If they practice Taoism, just wait for Taishang Dao to come and kill them! In the Daqian Dynasty, the three generations of emperors were all because of Xiu Tao was killed by Meng Shenji.
As for the previous dynasty, Taizu Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty was also ruined by the dream machine because of his Taoism, and he himself became a bereaved dog.
"Huh……"
Suddenly, Emperor Qian saw a memorial, which was written by Li Shenguang. It said: "Recently, a great sage has been born in the line of Xin Xue. His name is Wang Yangming. He is the master of Xin Xue. He has passed through seven times. Thunder Tribulation, the Creator, is a generation of talents..."
Then, he introduced Wang Yangming’s information, as well as the ideas of mind science and so on.
As for recommendations and the like, I didn't say anything at all, or it was unnecessary. What needs to be said has been said, and the next step is up to each individual.
"Wang Yangming!"
Emperor Qian fell silent, and a creator appeared, affecting the pattern of heaven and earth.
Three hundred years ago, Meng Shenji had the cultivation level of a creator and was the best master in the world, invincible in all directions.
Now, another Creator has appeared.
"The boat of creation has not been repaired yet. It is too powerful to fight against the Creator. But even if the Creator wants to kill me, it is impossible!" Emperor Qian thought, "Summon Wang Yangming..."
The edict was issued, but a moment later, Emperor Qian said: "No need, I'll pay you a private visit in person and pay my respects in person!"
In front of a mortal, you can show the majesty of an emperor to your heart's content; but in front of a Creator, the so-called majesty of an emperor and the so-called stage show are just a joke and cannot be taken seriously. If you take it seriously, you are really stupid!
