This is the way of Tao and nature, and the principle of heaven and earth.In foreign countries, you should frighten them with the position of thunder, and then atone for their sins with a lenient heart.

It repays kindness with kindness, which is a cycle of cause and effect, so that it can coexist with the group.If he repays a grudge with kindness, he should be killed with the power of heaven. This is the teacher of the king.

In this way, Taoism follows nature, and Taoism follows nature! "

Having said that, Daoist Fuqing saluted slightly.

In the real Confucianism, when dealing with external enemies, they like to slaughter them all, and drive them all to death.

But Taoism has a different view. When dealing with external enemies when we are strong, we should first use thunder to kill some enemies, so that they know our strength.

While they are afraid, let these enemy bandits be impressed by their majesty and give them a chance to survive.

This is because if these enemies feel our kindness and repay their kindness, they can survive well.

If these enemies are stubborn and want to take revenge when they let them live, it is not until this time that they kill them.

In this way, the army sent by our side can be called the king's division, and it comes with righteousness.

If, according to Confucianism, they are put to death as soon as they come up, and if they don't (deme well) keep the slightest sympathy, then the result must be even more violent resistance.

Therefore, Taoism believes that Confucianism should not be so violent and have a little forgiving heart.

Only in this way can the external hostile forces repay their kindness, and there will be fewer enemies, or in other words, there will be less external resistance.

In layman's terms, if you push the other party to a dead end, they know they will fight back if they have no chance of surviving. If you are a little gentle, they will not resist violently if they have hope of surviving.

As for pure groveling, this is also an existence that Taoism despises and hates.

Whether it is Yu Gong who moved mountains or Dayu who controlled water, they all showed a characteristic of our civilization, never give in!

So what if the enemy is God?So what if the enemy is nature?

We should stand up and fight back, even if we die, so we have the words that man can conquer heaven.

Chapter 582: Gu Ru's bloody

On the Zhouchuan platform in the middle of the West Lake, Zhao Pu and Taoist priest Fuqing were having a heated discussion on external thinking.

Zhao Pu responded to Taoist Fuqing's revisions to Confucianism's foreign policy, and cited many examples from past dynasties, which aroused the sympathy of countless literati representatives.

On the other hand, Daoist Fuqing expounded his own thoughts in depth. From the point of view of Taoism, he hoped that Confucianism would be more peaceful to the outside world, leaving some room for repayment in the future.

After Daoist Fuqing finished his statement, many representatives of Taoism on the platform stopped.

They all agreed with Daoist Fuqing's statement.

However, it seems that the attitude of Confucianism is relatively firm. Although Daoist Fuqing made a lot of statements, he tried to slow down his tone as much as possible, but the literati representatives present still shook their heads slightly.

Obviously, they don't quite approve of this external attitude of Taoism.

Although the Taoist theory can indeed have the opportunity to exchange for some good results, but in the Confucian view, this is only an uncertain possibility, and when dealing with the enemy, it should be killed directly, without leaving the other party a chance!

Especially at the moment, the economic invasion of Western plutocrats is aggressively rushing into the domestic market, and the little devil is still eyeing the land of China.

Under such a background, Daoist Fuqing, or Taoist 143's consistent peaceful thinking and persuasiveness became even weaker.

Although this is an exchange of ideas, it should not be disturbed by too many external current situations.

But this is only the ideal state.

It is said that the current situation creates heroes, and the current situation can also affect people's thinking.

Even though the literati representatives present here are not ordinary people, any ideas cannot exist without reality, so the current domestic and foreign situations still have a considerable impact on some of their views.

What's more, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different", "Be lenient to the inside and use strength to the outside" These are the consistent inheritance of Confucianism.

It is even more impossible for these representatives of Confucianism to be easily persuaded by Daoist Fuqing.

At the same time, an invisible collision of ideas took place among the crowd on the shore of West Lake.

When Daoist Cai Fuqing communicated with Zhao Pu just now, his voice was very clear, so some of the views of the two were also heard by the people on the shore.

The reason why the collision of ideas on the shore is invisible is because after hearing these views, there was no heated debate,

Many of the people who come here today are disciples of the literary world and Taoism.

They themselves represent a kind of inheritance of the two ideas among the people.

Now these children of the literary world and Taoists have heard the confrontation of different ideas between the two, and they naturally start to think about what the two said.

Everyone is a serious student of Confucianism and Taoism, and they came to watch this grand event, one is to admire everyone's demeanor, and the other is to get some ideological progress from this exchange.

Therefore, after hearing the exchange between Zhao Pu and Daoist Fuqing, they all began to try to understand the meaning.

Some firmly believe in the righteousness of their respective factions, while others start to think about whether the other faction has some merits.

A scholar on the shore is frowning deeply.

Just now he heard some conversations between Zhao Pu and Daoist Fu Qing, and at this moment he was considering some merits in the words of both sides.

He is not a pedantic Confucian student, he doesn't know how to adapt, and he understands that both schools have their own merits, so it is worth pondering.

Not far from him, a Taoist disciple also nodded slightly.

Like the previous literati, some words of Zhao Pu also gave him some gains.

These two people are the epitome of the countless spectators by the lake, especially the disciples of the two factions.

At this moment, countless people in the literary world and Taoism are comprehending the dialogues that they each represented just now.

And this grand meeting is solemn and solemn, they will not discuss in a hurry like some ordinary people chatting, even if some people can't help it, they just talk to the people next to them in a low voice and let it go.

Invisibly, some thoughts of Confucianism and Taoism began to collide and merge among them, and some new things were produced.

And they didn't realize it at this time, this is the germination (ajed) of thought quietly unfolding after the collision of Confucianism and Taoism.

While the people on the shore are having an invisible collision of ideas, the collision of ideas on the platform in the lake is still going on.

After listening to Daoist Fuqing's narration, a group of Confucian representatives did not fully agree.

At this time, Shao Wen spoke on behalf of them.

"We believe that Daoist Fuqing's previous remarks are inconsistent with the current situation.

Daoist Fuqing cupped his hands: "I would like to hear the details."

Shao Wendao: "You Taoists say that everything has a cause and effect, and you should leave some room for dealing with foreign enemies. We don't disagree.

However, the first condition for peace and external relations requires self-strengthening.

This point of view has always been pursued by your Taoist school, am I right? "

"It is also!"

Daoist Fuqing nodded.

Indeed, Taoism's so-called keeping a front line to the outside world is also based on its own strength, being able to conquer foreign enemies, and having the confidence to suppress the hostile forces.

Otherwise, you can only reap the consequences.

Shao Wen continued: "Like your Taoist words, my Confucian ancestors also said that we should conquer people with virtue and be lenient to others, but no matter benevolence or virtue, there are necessary conditions. Only when we are strong ourselves can we talk about benevolence and virtue to the outside world. meaning.

In short, I am strong, but I do not bully the weak. This is called persuading others with virtue.

In the past few years, the land of China was poor and weak, with internal and external troubles for many years, the motherland was not prosperous, the army was not strong, and the people were not rich. How can there be benevolence?

For today's plan, we should listen to our Confucian words, use strength to overcome strength, and use violence to control violence. Only by subduing force can we deter the enemy and prosper our country. "

"Great!"

After Shao Wen finished speaking, Zhao Pupu and the literati present nodded in agreement.

What Taoism says is peaceful to the outside world, and what Confucianism calls convincing people with virtue, the essence is to build on the foundation of one's own strength.

If the motherland's army is strong and the people are rich, and the country is peaceful and prosperous, then benevolence to the outside world and convincing people with virtue can better demonstrate China's broad-mindedness and magnanimity.

But reality does not allow them to do so.

Although in the past two years, after the rise of Huayin Group, domestic education, industry, technology and other fields have developed rapidly, and people's lives have also been greatly improved.

But since the former dynasty, the whole country has been devastated by internal and external troubles.

Today, Huaxia has just embarked on the road of prosperity and development, and its own background still needs to be improved and accumulated.

Under such a background, with strong enemies around, Gu Ru's concept of using violence to control violence is naturally more appropriate.

The so-called dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and the truth is everywhere within the range of artillery. Although the truth is a bit rough, it is very applicable to the current domestic environment.

After Shao Wen said these words, not only the literati representatives present felt reasonable, but even the Taoist representatives on the opposite side fell into a short thought.

Obviously, although they don't agree with Confucianism's bloody foreign concept, judging from the current situation, Confucianism's concept is more appropriate.

Seeing that no one answered, Shao Wen and the others did not speak for the time being.

The Taoists frowned lightly and pondered, each with a thoughtful look on their faces.

Chapter 583: True Confucianism

The collision and exchange of ideas is generally like this.

Although many concepts of Confucianism and Taoism are different, there will be some disputes between the two sides.

But this kind of exchange collision is not a simple quarrel.

In the midst of the battle, Taoists and Confucians will gain some new insights~.

Even Shao Wen, Zhao Pu and others - no exception.

But at present, some concepts of Confucianism have slightly gained the upper hand.

That's why a group of Taoist disciples headed by Daoist Fuqing fell into deep thought, thinking about whether some of their Taoist views should be changed.

In other words, if we only look at the current situation, would Confucianism be more appropriate?

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

After a brief silence, Taoist priest Fuqing recited the Taoist name.

He looked at Shao Wen: "As Mr. said, we can only talk about benevolence and treat others when we are strong ourselves."

Immediately, Daoist Fu Qing changed the topic.

"However, at the moment, the motherland is rising, and we should follow the trend of the times and strive for perfection."

These words represent Taoist Fuqing's acceptance of Shao Wen's previous ideas.

But in his view, since the motherland is rising, it means that in the near future, Huaxia will have a strong premise to convince people with virtue.

That's why Daoist Fuqing proposed to adapt to the current situation in order to cover everything, instead of simply using violence to control violence.

A group of Taoist representatives also nodded their heads.

This point of view is not only the voice of Daoist Priest Fuqing alone, but also their common point of view.

Zhao Pu heard the words and asked back: "As the Taoist priest said, how should we be perfect?"

Beside Daoist Fuqing, Daoist Qingxu replied: "The motherland is rising and will become stronger soon.

For the current plan, we will protect the rivers and mountains and keep the enemy out of the country.

When the motherland is strong and stands tall in the world, we can avenge our hatred and retaliate against our grievances. At that time, foreign enemies will be destroyed and old enemies will be punished.

In the enemy's country, the tyrannical and vulgar should be killed, and the people should be kind and cared for. The superiors should be severely punished, and the inferiors should be treated leniently.

Only in this way can the great hatred be avenged, and the people of the enemy country will not bite back. "

"The words of Qingxu are very kind!"

Daoist Fuqing caressed his beard and nodded slightly.

These words are unintentionally expressing the true meaning of their Taoism to the outside world.

As Confucianism said, at the moment, it is not acceptable to be peaceful with foreign countries, but what Taoist Master Qingxu said is not unreasonable.

Not all the Gentiles are brutal and unrepentant. Among their people, some of their subjects, there are still kind people.

Therefore, Taoism believes that it is necessary to take advantage of the development of the country to keep the enemy out of the country.

Only when the country is truly strong can the people of the motherland have enough strength to avenge their hatred.
