Qin Dynasty Novelist

"But who knows, Wei Yang met Duke Xiao three times. He once talked about the kingly way, the second time he said hegemony, and the third time he talked about the school. The kingly way is the way that Lu and Yan have inherited and followed. However, Lu is gone and Yan is weak. .”

"The theory of overbearing is the way pursued by Qi, Wei, and Chu. However, the three countries are in political chaos. If Confucianism has no way to strengthen the country and enrich the people, if Confucianism has no way to calm the people and comfort the people, if Confucianism has no way to strengthen the army. The law of fierce soldiers."

"So, what's the use of Confucianism? What's wrong with Han Fei's words?"

If you want not to be regarded as an abandoned child in the future, you should show your due ability and indispensable ability. The theory of kingly benevolence, hegemony, and even the theory of Legalism can be accepted by Qin Wangzheng. don't care.

But as long as it is beneficial to the state of Qin, then it is a good theory, and it should be used by the state of Qin. All the six countries in Shandong have remnants of the benevolent government of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Confucianism can exist today.

But in the future, there will be no such opportunity. Confucianists want to know the answer from themselves, and this practice of pinning their hopes on outsiders is even more despised for no reason.

"Xuan Qingzi's words mean that our Confucianism should change?"

Xun Kuang Wenzi, a dark light loomed above the old eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had realized something, he folded his hands and looked upwards, searching and hearing it, and the gray beard under his chin was shaking.

"When will it change?"

"Isn't Confucianism constantly changing?"

"If Confucianism is still the philosophy of Confucius hundreds of years ago, how can it be today? Kongqiu sat down with 72 disciples and split many Confucian ideas. It seems that Confucianism is divided, but in fact it may not be an opportunity for Confucianism."

"Otherwise, how could we have you Xun Kuang today, how could we have Xinzheng Hanfei, Shangcai Lisi and others appearing!"

Chapter 430 Unity of Knowledge and Action (First Change)

If Confucianism hadn't been changing all the time, how could Xun Kuang's sages' principles and unique ideas be accepted by Confucianism? Confucius and Mencius said that human nature is good at first, but Xun Kuang is completely opposite, and human nature is evil at first.

For hundreds of years, Confucianism and Legalism are the most prominent ones that have been able to accommodate a hundred schools of thought in their continuous development. Although Legalism is a harsh law, Confucianism also occupies a considerable part in Han Fei's articles. weight.

Similarly, in Confucianism, there are many schools of thought that include Taoism, Legalism, Famous School, Yin-Yang School, etc. Before Meng Ke, in Jixia Academy, Taoism was the mainstream and benefited from all schools of thought.

Now that Xun Kuang asked himself this way, wasn't he over-interpreting himself?

"Xuan Qingzi's words mean that our Confucianism should accommodate the essence of a hundred schools of thought, make up for the shortcomings of Confucianism, and use this brand-new truth to spread throughout the Xia, in line with what your Excellency said, the way to enrich the country, strengthen the army, comfort the people, and bring peace? "

Worthy of being a famous contemporary Confucian master, with just one word, he understood what he was saying. Standing upright in the hall, he still looked at Zhou Qing quietly with his old bright eyes.

The other party's words are quite consistent with my recent thinking. For hundreds of years, most Confucian disciples are good at wisdom and short of practice, and the theories of Legalism, Mohism, and farming just make up for this shortcoming of Confucianism.

In the hall, the voice of Confucian Xun Kuang echoed, lingering in the ears of many Confucian disciples in the field, the prince at the top heard it, thought for a while, nodded his head slightly, and smiled lightly on his face.

"Your brother's words are very kind!"

Whispering, he glanced left and right to show his agreement.

"In Xuanqing's view, the foundation of Confucianism is the best among all schools of thought. Within Confucianism, there is never a lack of methods to enrich the country and strengthen the military, and there is never a lack of methods to comfort the people. What is lacking is a heart."

"A heart that ends in perfection!"

Slowly starting from Tiao An, if it weren't for Confucianism still having some effect, I wouldn't waste my time talking with them here today. There are hundreds of schools of thought, until now, many schools of thought have disappeared or even passed on.

Only the inheritance of Confucianism has become more and more extensive and thicker, which has already proved its uniqueness.

The way of heaven and earth, the combination of yin and yang, requires both rigidity and softness to last forever!

"Stop at perfection!"

"Xuan Qingzi, please explain clearly?"

On the other side, Xuan Qingzi got up and walked down the hall, Gongdu Zi also got up, and everyone in the hall also got up one after another. Hearing these words again, the expressions of the Confucian people moved slightly, and they looked at each other and said a word.

"Knowledge is true and honest, and it is action."

"When you act with awareness and discernment, that is knowledge."

"Knowledge and action are inseparable. The unity of knowledge and action ends at perfection!"

"Six arts of Confucianism, two ways of civil and martial arts, but, for hundreds of years, it seems that in Confucianism, there has never been a person who can write a pen to make the world safe, and Wu can ride a horse to determine the world!"

Confucian disciples bury their heads in the scriptures all day long, but what can they read? What is the use of memorizing the entire "Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Songs"? If they can't solve the troubles encountered by the king, all these are false .

Stepping to the outside of the hall, the scorching sun is getting stronger and stronger, and the quiet place in the mountains where the Blessing Little Sage Village is located, the vitality of the world is light and clear, and the blue sky is extremely beautiful.

Feeling the warmth of the sun on his body, the purple rhyme and profound light on his body surface, the words in his mouth flowed slowly behind him, lingering in the ears of all the Confucian disciples for a long time.Suddenly, Zhou Qing's spirit moved slightly, and he looked at the entrance of the gate of Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

There seemed to be two rather familiar auras there.

"Knowledge and action are one, stop at perfection!"

"The way of a hundred schools of thought can be summed up in one sentence, but Xuan Qingzi's words hit directly at the weakness of my Confucianism. In the previous school, your Excellency pointed out my Confucian way of being a sage inside and a king outside. Confucianism has benefited a lot.”

"Listening to Xuanqingzi's talk today, Gongduzi has no regrets in his heart. Ten days later, it will be an auspicious day. There will be a new head of Confucianism to take over the grand ceremony. During the period, I hope Xuanqingzi will watch the ceremony!"

With a single word, many Confucian disciples in the hall were moved by it. Unless someone had a unique understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and someone had a profound insight into Confucianism, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to have such a remark.

Unity of knowledge and action!

For hundreds of years, Confucianism has focused more on knowledge than practice. There are many principles, and few princes who entered the world. Among the many Confucian disciples present, only Xun Kuang's Tao is involved.

Wen Neng picks up the pen to secure the world, and Wu Ke mounts the horse to determine the world!

Thinking about the demeanor of the Confucian disciples moved all the Confucian disciples present. If the Confucian disciples can really do that, then why would the hundred families be afraid.

At that time, even if Confucianism didn't say anything, it was already the respect of a hundred schools of thought, the head of a hundred schools of thought, and the eyes with fiery eyes collided, and then bowed and bowed to Tianzong Xuanqingzi.

No wonder, hundreds of years ago, the patriarchs asked Lao Tzu that the Daoism cultivated by Taoism is really extraordinary. It seems mysterious and unpredictable, but it is really wonderful when touched.

"Sect Master, Zhao Feixue and Can Jian from Zhao Guoxing City Library are here to pay their respects."
