Behind the confrontation of ideas is the confrontation of classes. When ideas are active, that is, when each class hopes that society will be beneficial to itself, it is usually a time of chaos.
When ideas are imprisoned, one class usually has the upper hand. For example, in the Middle Ages, religious ideas dominated the mainstream and religious authority was indestructible. In this era, some people in the West also carried out the reform of the same text in the West through the unification of the Bible, which is called '
The Caroline Renaissance' stipulates that the Bible can only have the beautiful Caroline lowercase font as the only standard.
Unfortunately, because there was only cultural unity and no institutional unity, after the death of Charlemagne, several sons divided the country.
Then came the Renaissance of the Mediterranean city-states. City-state merchants who emerged as middlemen during the Crusades used artworks as capital containers and used ancient Greek ideas to fight against the clergy. But in the end, the city-state alliance also entered the same process as ancient Greece.
The age of tyrants.
In the end, the Mediterranean city-states were caught between the Ottomans and the first empire on which the sun never set, and they were lost to the public, and the Renaissance ended miserably.
Then came the era of the Protestant Reformation. Countries translated the Bible in their own language, abandoned the Bible in Latin, and put forward various ideas. Countries also entered a crazy era, and all kinds of conflicts broke out as common as eating.
The more intense the confrontation, the richer the ideas, and of course the more people will die.
It can be seen that when there is a single thought, it is often when one party has the upper hand. It does not mean that when there is a single thought, other thoughts will disappear, but that multiple thoughts exist, but one thought is dominant.
When ideas are brilliant, times are usually chaotic.
Because ideas are usually class ideas, not personal ideas. Only when an individual speaks for the class can he get support. If he only speaks for himself, no one will support him.
In short, every place will face class contradictions and internal friction. How to ease and adjust class contradictions? That is to introduce a king or a tyrant.
Why did Legalism stand out during the Warring States Period? Because Legalism solved problems that Confucianism and Mohism had not solved, and united the monarch, nobles, and people. Legalism allowed the monarch to suppress the nobles and people, and proposed ways to enrich the country and strengthen its army. Three
Let’s work together as a class to focus on expansion. If we succeed, it will be beneficial to everyone.
Confucianism and Mohism can only benefit the nobles and the people, and it is difficult to unite each other. Then they can only continue to confront each other, but confrontation is also a matter of time. Once other countries carry out reforms, then the country will be at war with each other.
Shang Yang was not liked by others. He had to be protected by soldiers when he went out, and he died miserably. However, Shang Yang's reform was not abolished, because Shang Yang's reform proposed military merit for the first time, allowing the dividends of expansion to cover the monarch, nobles, and people.
, Savage. The system ensures that the monarch can continue to select talents and suppress the nobles and people for a long time.
The nobles and people naturally hated Shang Yang to death.
After all, when a sergeant hears the doctrine, he or she will do it diligently. When a sergeant hears the doctrine, he feels as if he is alive or dead. When a corporal hears the doctrine, he laughs. What is a sergeant? A sergeant is one who has the right to speak. A sergeant who does not have the right to speak is just a sergeant.
There is no sense of security at all if I can follow.
Legalism helped the monarch gain an advantage, but the monarch must achieve the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and enriching the country and strengthening the army is naturally beneficial to everyone. Therefore, the Legalists did not suppress it for no reason, but proposed a strategy that was beneficial to everyone.
The goal is to achieve the goal of "what's really good when everyone is good" through expansion.
Confucianism and Mohism can't do it. The Confucian world of great unity and the Mohist idea of universal love and non-aggression both sound good, but they cannot be implemented. Before Legalism, Confucianism and Mohism both had the opportunity to practice it, but unfortunately they could only seek benefits for their own class.
.In the end, Legalism came to the fore.
In fact, the same was true in ancient Greece. The plains, seaside, and mountains were quarreling fiercely. In the end, it turned into several classes that continued to quarrel based on their annual grain income. In the end, tyrants were elected and more people were allowed to join the citizens' assembly.
Entered a glorious era.
There was also the Roman Senate system, which also needed a dictator to quickly solve problems when necessary. Then there was a lifelong dictator, and finally there was a Roman emperor.
In short, the result of the evolution of class contradictions is a monarch, who can alleviate conflicts and find the direction of expansion through the monarch.
There are also irreconcilable class conflicts in the country of Wano. The monarch, the large clans of the nobility, the small clans of the nobility, and the people of the country should all come up with an idea that is beneficial to themselves.
Through the mouth of his aunt, Duran asked the Four Emperors to choose a class as a chess piece in the country of Wano, and then conduct a social experiment in the country of Wano, put forward slogans belonging to the classes, and compete with each other to see who can win in the end.
But the other four emperors don't understand at all. They are just pirates, not thinkers. They don't know how the monarch, the big sect, the small sect, and the people of the country should fight for their own interests.
For major sects, it is enough to use the Confucianism of the Spring and Autumn Period. For minor sects, of course, they should choose "The Theory of the Rise of the Grass", the theory of induction between heaven and man, respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians, etc. The monarch can choose Legalism or Junguo thought, and the Chinese people also have Mohism and religion. Everyone has beautiful things.
future.
Jun-Guo thought is the cooperation between the monarch and the army for expansion. Many people think that Legalism is Jun-Guo thought, which is wrong. Legalism means that the monarch suppresses the nobility and people and then expands. Jun-Guo thought cannot suppress the great nobles, and the monarch only
If you can channel resources to the army to maintain your own status, the result will be that the army becomes guest-oriented.
Legalist thought does not give the nobles and the people the opportunity to rebel against the monarch. Legalism is all about the monarch, because the legitimacy of Legalism comes from the monarch, so the monarch is the most important and cannot be shaken.
"Are you hungry?" The aunt Kaido knew would not come up with such a fancy plan. Aunt's mind has always been simple and she is only good at eating. He even knew that aunt's biggest wish was to become a giant and then be with the giants.
Have a meal.
Auntie is a human, but her height and shape are the same as those of a giant. As a result, humans don't recognize her, and neither do giants, leaving her with no identity. So her ideal is to become a giant.
How could such a simple aunt think that each of the four emperors would choose a class and then cause trouble in Wano? It's not normal no matter how you look at it.
"Don't you think Wano Country is too boring?"
"When I turn this place into the largest arsenal in the world, it won't be boring anymore," Kaido said.
Auntie's proposal was not accepted, and Dulan was disappointed. He felt that it was totally okay to have fun. After all, each class had representative ideas, and it was possible to make a stew of East and West.
No matter where you are, there will be classes, and ideas that are beneficial to the class will be put forward, and cruel confrontation will inevitably take place. In the end, the winner can maintain a short-term advantage, because if the winner only robs interests for his own class, the interests of other classes will become more and more important.
If you don't survive, you will inevitably resist. Only when it is for everyone's benefit, can everyone cooperate. If you cannot raise it for everyone's benefit, then war will inevitably proceed.
Religious war means that when one religion becomes dominant, it will absorb the energy of other religions, so a war must be fought, and other religions cannot sit back and wait for death.
Party struggle means that if one faction has the upper hand, it will absorb the energy of the other, so it must fight.
In short, if one has the advantage, the other will inevitably suffer, and war has to start. Therefore, the frequency of wars is very high in Western history, because they have never been able to come up with an idea that can make everyone better. Even during the period of great expansion, there were no wars.
It has been stopped. After all, there are only so many colonies. If you take more, I will take less, so we must fight. They are always doing it for their own good, not for everyone else.
Naturally, there were competitions in the Central Plains, but because of the imperial examinations, the game was more peaceful and did not involve the use of swords and guns. Moreover, the emperor theoretically represented everyone, so the emperor could lead a group of disadvantaged people to carry out reforms and create a ZTE.
The dynasty also lasted longer, basically more than two hundred years.
Everyone wants benefits, and they can only be obtained through games. The game is just a matter of fighting or fighting. After all, a family of three all wants to play, and they all want to occupy the dominant position in the family, not to mention all classes, all ethnic groups, and all religions.
, various countries, various civilizations...
They always distinguish between us and them, but some people will come up with the idea that "it's really good when everyone is good".
