Chapter 315: Confession (2)
When the sun rises, the debate begins.
The confessor said: "Life is sex. ”
Confucian said: "Life is sex, and what is white is white?" ”
He said, "Yes." ”
"The whiteness of the white feather is as white as the whiteness of the snow; The white of snow, the white of jade? ”
He said, "Yes." ”
"But the nature of a dog is like the nature of a cow, and the nature of a cow is the nature of a man?"
Gaozi laughed and said, "That's right, the dog's natural nature determines that it is a dog; The innate nature of a cow determines that it is a cow; The natural nature of a person determines that he is a human being, and your words are very reasonable, doesn't this prove my statement, the nature of life? ”
Confucian also laughed and said, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." The Mo family has no father and beast, so they think that everyone in the world is a beast. Dogs are the same as cows? Cows are the same as people? Isn't that ridiculous? ”
After ten years of hard reading, the confession was stunned for a moment.
He was not dumbfounded by the other party's question, but was overwhelmed by the other party's strange logic.
The nature of a dog is the same as the nature of a cow, so how can we conclude that a dog and a person mean the same thing?
Sex is one meaning, but dogs and cows are not the same meaning, wasn't it just a debate about whether "sex" is innate?
Not only the accusator, but the people watching the excitement in the audience were also stunned, thinking, how did this come to a conclusion?
Seeing that the confession was slightly stunned, Confucian was overjoyed, and secretly said I had heard that the Mo family was good at arguing, but I didn't want to be so vulnerable.
Looking around, the lively people seemed to be at a loss, and Confucianism thought to himself, the way of the Mohist family was broken by me alone! The people of Sishang know and educate today!
Gaozi was stunned for a moment, thinking that this debate must not be dealt with as difficult and obscure as he had imagined before, this is not an argument with the famous Deng Xi.
So he immediately said, "Do white and black mean the same thing as the word color?" ”
Confucius said, "Yes." ”
"So the color of white and the color of black are the same color, and according to you, white is black? White is black? The meaning of sex is the same in human nature and dog nature, so you can conclude that people are dogs? ”
Confucian scolded: "People are people, how can they be put together with animals and use one word? The Mo family has no father, it is for beasts, not for no reason. How can humans and animals use one sex? ”
Confession said: "Sex, born with it, is sex. It's not just people who have human nature, dogs who have dog nature, and even circles that have roundness and moments, is there anything wrong with that? ”
"For example, a circle, a circle must conform to roundness. So what is a circle? Do you know what a circle is? ”
Confucian said disdainfully: "What is drawn with a compass is a circle." ”
Gaozi smiled: "What is drawn with a compass is a circle?" Now I've drawn a semicircle with a compass, then I moved it, and then I drew a semicircle, so it's a circle? ”
The Confucian snorted and said, "Yuan...... Round...... A circle is a circle, if it is a circle, you can know it, if it is not a circle, you know that it is not, and a circle is a circle. ”
The people below suddenly let out a burst of boos, and the people who couldn't squeeze in the outermost circle had already exited, and they said this is a fart? It's not interesting, it's better to go to the teahouse and listen to the story of Wu Zixu's whipping corpse, where did you say it yesterday?
Gaozi laughed and said: "Roundness, that is, the same length of the same length without thick faces." Any circle conforms to this circularity and is summed up, which is circularity. Zi Mozi was reluctant to debate with you back then, and asked you why you wanted to study music, and you said that it was for fun; Now I ask you what a circle is, and if you are a circle, you are a circle. That human nature is human nature, and there is no need to debate, what are you still standing here? ”
The Confucian had a shy face and had to step down amid the boos of the people, and immediately another Confucian student made up for it and sneered: "The circle is all one middle school and the same length? Then I draw a semicircle, determine a point, and think that it is the middle, and it is also the same length, so the semicircle is a circle? ”
Gaozi sneered: "The face of no thickness is the same length in the middle, that is roundness. All circles match, but not necessarily circles. A circle is a non-thick face, and all the points of the same length. It's like a dog eats, and the shell lang also eats, can you think that all the people who eat are shell langs? ”
"People also have copulation, dogs have to have copulation, copulation is a manifestation of human nature, but also a manifestation of dog nature, but it can't be said that this is all dog nature and human nature."
"That's why I said, food, sex, too. Not to mention, all the instant colors of human nature. ”
Confucian Sheng said angrily: "You are putting people and animals together, do you think people are also animals? This is the root of the Mo family's fatherlessness, and your Mo family doesn't know what a human being is! You see people as animals...... How can humans and animals be the same? ”
After the other party finished scolding, the confessor asked, "Rectangles and diamonds are different. Is the difference between the two the whole of a rectangle and a diamond? So, are all four sides, all four sides are straight lines, and the inner angles are all the same, and all these are the same, don't they belong to their nature? ”
"There are similarities between humans and animals, and there are also differences. Humans have eyes, and animals have eyes; Man has to eat, and he has to eat at birth. So according to you, people and animals must be different? If animals want to eat, people can't eat them? If animals want to be mated, people cannot be mated? Otherwise, man is a beast? ”
The Confucian was speechless.
Gaozi immediately asked again: "You say that people are different from animals?" ”
"Of course."
"Did you give birth to your parents?"
"Of course!"
"Then according to what you say, people can't be the same as animals, your parents have copulation, and animals have also copulated, so your parents are animals? And you're not a human being, you're a brute? ”
The laughter around him continued, and the Confucian student was humiliated by this, and his parents were insulted, and he said angrily: "Such a great revenge, I will revenge!" ”
Without waiting for the confessor to answer, the people below shouted: "Come on, you Confucians call us beasts all day long, according to what you say, we still have to slaughter all the Confucian students in the world for this sentence?" Because you have also scolded my parents, and you have also scolded Fuxi Nuwa, and we are all descendants of them......"
The confessor glanced at the other party, and said in his heart that my swordsmanship is not very good, but I should be able to beat three or five of you like this, so he smiled and said: "It is you who insult you, how can you say that it is me?" According to you, people can't be the same as animals, animals are copulated, and your mother is also copulated, so am I insulting your parents? Or are you abusive yourself? ”
"You Confucian scholars talk about filial piety, but you insult your parents as beasts, I have never seen such a brazen person, what face do you have in the world? In the future, when you see Master Zhongni under Jiuquan, what face will you have to claim that you are a Confucian student? ”
The Ru was so angry that he didn't take a breath, he fainted and fell to the ground, and someone immediately carried him away, causing bursts of laughter.
Another Confucian student went up and asked, "You said that you have food and sex too." That is to say, eating and intercourse are all part of human nature. ”
"Your Mo family also said that you must obey human nature, if you follow human nature, isn't everyone a ** woman? Isn't your Mo family causing trouble in the world? Isn't this instigating everyone in the world to be prostitutes? ”
Tell Ziqi and said, "You have the following thing, so you are an adulterer?" Can't you sleep with your wife? Isn't sleeping with your wife obedient to human nature? ”
Confucian snorted and said, "What you said, that's a beast!" “
"Whoever copes for the sake of copulation is a brute!"
"I married a wife to have children and pass on the lineage. Not to conform to animal nature. The reason why people are human is to be different from animals, and people are animals, which is the root cause of the chaos in the world! ”
"If man intersects for the desire to copulate, what is the difference between him and an animal?"
The people below scolded: "You Confucian students are going to let all the men in Kyushu be geldings!" Lao Tzu was born with that thing, why do you have to give birth to a child to use it? You are willing to be a gelding, don't let everyone in the world follow you as a gelding! ”
In the past, the onlookers rarely had such a chaotic situation.
Twenty years of indoctrination and the emancipation of nature have made the people of Sishang hate this kind of restraining their normal desires. If you want to eat well, it's not right to steal things, but what's wrong with me working on the land and eating something that a doctor can eat? Those doctors and princes are silverfish, snatching the fruits of labor from us, and they are not embarrassed, but let us restrain our desires?
This matter between men and women retains more civil openness in Sishang, plus the Mo family often insults the aristocracy in the market, in a way that the audience likes to see: for example, Tian's cuckold hobby, Chen Gong's three kings and one queen, Jin Hou played widow and was robbed and killed, Jiang Qi's daughter and brother played with her husband to death, Chu State climbed ashes and so on, in order to make the people feel that there is any bullshit aristocratic spirit?
After a long time, he finally quieted down, and said: "Human nature, there is no good and no evil. Eating is also one of the manifestations of human nature, why didn't I see you not eating? ”
Confucian said: "I won't cause trouble in the world when I eat!" But lust will make people want to rape and adulterate women in the world, which will cause confusion. ”
The confessor then asked, "If a person has been hungry for many days and has not eaten, so he chooses to steal food and eat it, is this what you call a disaster in the world?" If everyone didn't eat, there would be no stealing of food, but is stealing other people's food evil? If you think that you can cause chaos in the world, you should refrain from it, and then you should also be restrained from eating. ”
The Confucian scholar couldn't answer, so he had to say: "People should obey human nature, but you Mohists think that animal nature is also one of human nature, and this is the disaster that causes chaos in the world." Human nature is inherently good, and only benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are human nature, and the rest are not human nature. Even if people want to obey human nature, they should also obey real human nature, and this is the difference between man and animal. ”
"You advocate that it is human nature to eat and lust, and it is also human nature to seek profit, that is to make the world chaotic. It is necessary to let people know that benevolence and righteousness are human nature, and they are the only human nature, so that the world can be healthy. ”
"Do animals have benevolence? Are beasts righteous? Those who are righteous must be people. That's why I say that human nature is inherently good, and the difference between humans and animals is that they have benevolence and righteousness, isn't that right? ”
Gaozi laughed and said, "You haven't answered my question yet, eating may cause chaos in the world, so should people restrain their desire to eat?" Kong Zhongni still said, if you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of eating, you just tell me if people have to restrain their desire to eat? ”
Confucian said: "It's okay to eat, but it must be in line with etiquette." Correct your identity, what kind of identity, what kind of food you eat, so that it is self-denial and retribution, and the untouchables should not think about eating what the doctor should eat......"
"Fuck you!"
Before he finished his words, the people in the audience had already scolded, and the people who were close to him were about to rush to the stage in a hurry, and several retired soldiers who had returned from retirement, who were originally fugitive slaves, and had joined the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce, scolded: "You say it again? I'm fucking you! Lao Tzu is tying up Lou, pulling those nobles out like dragging dead dogs and shooting them, Lao Tzu just spent money to listen to a piece of chime and drum music in the People's Theater, Lao Tzu is more polite, how about it? ”
The garrison in charge of the guard hurriedly stood up and separated the crowd by arm, and the officer on duty shouted: "Don't mess around! Don't mess around! Persist in convincing others with the truth! Don't get your hands dirty! ”
Someone coaxed: "The giant said that the truth is easier to spread within the range of the musket!" Don't argue with them, reason with muskets and cannons. ”
"Hahahaha......"
Sishang propaganda and street debates have been engaged in for 20 years, and there have been countless experiences accumulated in blood about what should be said, what should not be said, what words may be beaten up, and what words can be easily beaten to death.
