Chapter 116 Sinicization, Chinese Language
"In this way," Wen Xiang said, "the governance of Xinjiang and the preparations for war against Russia are actually one and two, two and one, two sides of the same thing." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"'One and two, two and one, two sides of one thing'-" Guan Zhuofan praised, "Bochuan's words are thorough!" β
After a pause, "I just said that Xinjiang is both a 'big front' and a 'big rear' in the war against Russia, and if Xinjiang's affairs are not handled well, Xinjiang's governance will not be on the road, and this battle will definitely not be fought well." β
"Yes!"
"Governing Xinjiang," Guan Zhuofan accentuated his tone, "The first important thing is to govern religion!" β
Teaching?
Several large military planes were all slightly stunned, engrossed in their attention, and listened attentively.
"The Uyghurs in Xinjiang and the Hui people in Shaanxi and Gansu," Guan Zhuofan said, "all those who believe in Islam are Muslims, and in this regard, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xin are indeed 'a game of chess in the northwest'."
For the effective implementation of the Constitution, I think that under the governors of Shaanxi, Gansu and New Provinces, a special yamen should be set up, and the prime minister of the province should be called ...... 'Education Administration'!"
Academic Affairs Authority?
"Under the Governor?" Wen Xiang asked tentatively, "What does the prince mean, the 'Academic Affairs Administration' is directly subordinate to the governor, and it will not return...... Political envoys? β
"Not bad!" Guan Zhuofan said, "The level of the 'Academic Affairs Administration' is equivalent to the inspection department, and the hall officials of the 'Education Affairs Administration' are also the three products - look at the same as the inspection envoys!" β
In this way, the "administration of education" in a province will rise to the same level as the judicial and financial affairs of a province.
"In addition," Guan Zhuofan said, "there must also be a special organization in the yamen of the 'Governor of the Northwest' -- at least, there must be someone in the 'Governor of the Northwest' who is in charge of the office of academic affairs, and is specifically responsible for liaising with and coordinating the 'Academic Affairs Administration' of Shaanxi, Gansu, and New Provinces." β
Several big military planes know that Prince Xuan has always advocated "streamlining the administration of the elite army", and now, he has actually set up such a high-level yamen in the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xin, and it is conceivable that the prince has really made up his mind to "govern the religion" well!
"To administer religion, we must first 'establish the doctrine'-" Guan Zhuofan said, "otherwise, if the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, it will be messed up; Heresy will also take advantage of the void to deceive people's minds. β
King James Doctrine?
"I've wanted to do such a thing for a long time," Guan Zhuofan said, "The imperial court came forward and summoned well-educated people who were proficient in the doctrine to sort out the Muslim scriptures one by one, and after approving them, they were engraved and promulgated as the rope and ink for propagating the Dharma." β
Several large military planes were slightly shocked.
"Lord Wang," Wen Xiang said, "this is really ...... What a merit! β
Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, "This is indeed a great merit, but because of its greatness, it is necessary to return to the people and the Uyghurs to participate in the grand event." Before, Xinjiang was undecided, and the matter of the 'King James Doctrine' could not be talked about for the Uyghurs, but now, the war in Xinjiang is about to end, and the 'King James Doctrine' can be put on the agenda! β
"Yes!"
"King James Doctrine," said Kwan Zhuofan, "there are three that should be paid special attention to. β
"First, no matter what religion or sect, its doctrine is the first essence of guiding people to goodness," Guan Zhuofan said slowly, "I know that Islam also emphasizes peace, middle way, tolerance, and good deeds, so anything that instigates believers to take revenge or vendetta is absurd, not true belief and righteous action, and must not be left in the 'King James Doctrine'." β
"Second, the Manchus, Hans, Hui, Uyghurs, Mongolians, Tibetans, no matter which ethnic group, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Hui, and ...... Well, Catholicism, no matter which religion - as long as it is Chinese, it will be for my emperor and my Chinese compatriots! Everyone lives under one roof, with brothers and sisters, and no one else! Therefore, if anyone regards other religions or races as 'heretics' or 'heretics', it is also a delusion, and it must not be preserved in the 'King James Doctrine'. β
"Third, Shaanxi and Gansu are Chinese territory, Xinjiang is Chinese territory, the Hui are Chinese, and the Uyghurs are Chinese, so Islam - Islam in Shaanxi and Gansu, Islam in Xinjiang, Islam in Yunnan...... In short, all the Islam on the ground in China is 'the Islam of China'β"
"Although Islam was introduced from outside, once it entered China and became 'China's Islam', it should follow the local customs, it should have 'Chinese characteristics', and it must be ...... 'Sinicized'! This layer must be reflected in the 'King James Doctrine', and it must be very colorful! β
"Chinese characteristics" and "sinicization" -- very new words!
The military planes carefully tasted it, and after a while, Cao Yuying was the first to speak:
"The prince is from a high position! Such as...... Buddhism, which originated in Tianzhu - India, is not native to China, but after it was introduced into China, it was compatible with Confucianism and Taoism, and became its own school, and evolved into eight sects, which became a great achievement, compared with Tianzhu's native Buddhism, in fact, ...... It's even better. β
After a slight pause, "Islam should also take such a path." β
The "Eight Sects" in Cao Yuying's words refer to the eight schools of Han Buddhism - Zen Buddhism, Tiantai Buddhism, Faxiang Buddhism, Huayan Buddhism, Vinaya Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, Three Treatise Sects, and Tantric Buddhism.
Guan Zhuofan slapped his palm, "If you are like this, you will scratch the itch!" - Exactly! β
"The name of the prince's 'sinicization'," Guo Songtao said, "is extremely incisive!" I think that the word 'hua' is 'into China', that is, 'sinicization', and ...... 'transformation' of 'king'. β
Guan Zhuofan clapped his hands again, "Correct solution!" Yun Xian's explanation can be described as ......'superb'! ββ
The big military planes all laughed.
"These three things that the prince said," Wen Xiang sighed and said, "Each one of them is a true move!" 'King James Doctrine', great good! This must be done properly -- and it must be done with great effort! This is a great merit for hundreds of generations! β
"'Get to the bottom of the source'," Guan Zhuofan said, "Well, yes, it's just these four words!" β
He nodded his temple, "First, all the confused thoughts here have been cleared; Second, the officials are conscientious and do not abuse the people -- as long as they do these two things, whether they are returning to the people or defending the people, who is not willing to live and work in peace and contentment? Who is willing to be deceived by heresy and take risks and rebel? β
"Yes! The prince is wise! β
"Of course, it is not a matter of overnight," Guan Zhuofan said, "However, once the 'King James Doctrine' is promulgated, Islam and the Dharma propagation and preaching in the world must be based on it!" Anything other than the 'King James Doctrine' is false, and if there is a 'preaching' that is not based on the 'King James Doctrine', it is a fallacy and heresy, and it must be strictly forbidden and severely punished! β
"Yes!"
"In addition, the propagation and preaching of the Dharma must be obtained in temples approved by the imperial court, and if someone preaches the scriptures in private outside these temples, even if they preach the 'King James Doctrine', they will also be 'studying the Black Scriptures' -- as long as they are 'studying the Black Scriptures', they will be severely punished!"
"Yes!"
"As for this 'recognition'β"
After pondering for a while, Guan Zhuofan said, "The great chaos was initially decided, and the governor of the northwest, the governors of Shaanxi, Gansu, and the new provinces and the 'Education Administration' of the three provinces should be sent to Shaanxi, Gansu, and the new Muslim temples from beginning to end, combed and checked, divided clearly, and re-certified and issued a 'license' after the approval of the imperial court and in accordance with the regulations. β
"Yes!"
"This 'license,'" Guan Zhuofan said, "has to be reviewed every year -- to ensure that the 'imams' who preside over the temple are all law-abiding and Taoist-minded." β
Oh?
"This 'trial'," Guan Zhuofan said, "I think, we can imitate the Beijing inspection and the big plan, and also divide it into 369 and so on, among which the 'first-class' and 'Zhuo Yi', the court and the government should be commended and rewarded; The lowest class, that is, those who are unqualified, are not qualified to continue to live in dignity and mouth! This imam had to ask someone else to do it, and this failed old man had to ask him to go home and pick up the child, so as not to mislead people's children! β
It's so special!
Jingcha, the big plan, for the imperial court to inspect the system of civilian officials, the inspection of the Beijing officials called the Jingcha, the excellent called "first-class", the inspection of foreign officials said the big plan, the excellent called "Zhuo Wei", the Beijing inspection, the big plan, are once every three years.
Temples and imams can also be "Jingcha" and "big plans"?
If you think about it, why not?
In order to be "commended", in order to be "rewarded" -- this "reward" is not just a "first-class" or "outstanding" title; At the very least, in order to "not go home to pick up the child", the presiding officer of the temple naturally has to work hard to speak for the imperial court, and must automatically and consciously resist heresy -
Well, that's wonderful!
"I think," Guo Songtao said meaningfully, "that the management of academic affairs costs a lot of money. β
"This money should be spent!" Xu Gengshen said, "This is for the long-term peace and stability of the Northwest!" I thought-"
Speaking of this, he looked at Guan Zhuofan and said with a smile, "Please pay this money, the prince will probably not be heartbroken." β
Guan Zhuofan smiled "haha", "I'm a miser - but, Uncle Xing is right, I won't be heartbroken if I pay this money." β
"Imams can only preach in temples, and believers can only study scriptures in temples," Cao Yuying's eyes lit up slightly, "The temples are all under the management of the 'Education Administration', and they are striving for the top, this pattern is ...... Well, it's all in my hands! β
Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, "There must be a mistake in the hundred secrets, and there are always a few 'learning the Black Scriptures', but as long as we persevere in the 'original and clean source', the rules are established and the atmosphere is correct, even if a few fish that slip through the net cannot be caught, they will not be able to make any waves." β
"Yes!"
"There is another one," Guan Zhuofan said solemnly, "There are two versions of the 'King James Doctrine', one is the 'lingua franca version' and the other is the 'Uyghur version' -- at present, there are too few Uyghurs who can speak the 'lingua franca' to prepare another 'Uyghur version'." β
After a pause, "The two versions of the 'King James Doctrine' were promulgated in Xinjiang at the same time, and in all other parts of China, the 'King James Doctrine' was promulgated in only one 'lingua franca', so the imam who preached the scriptures must have one of the most basic conditions -- familiarity with the 'lingua franca.' β
