Isn't that Confucianism? And it seems that from the generation of Lao Tzu Li Dan, the librarian of the Lu State, to Kong Qiu, the figure who succeeded Li Dan as the librarian of the Lu State, and even in the era when Lu Zhe crossed over, Confucianism has been "selling" everywhere with such a set of foolish policies, but no emperor "knows the goods", or no one is blind, or even a king with a negative IQ has been fooled.

The Spring and Autumn Period was a world of great contention, and in the Warring States Period, it was a social environment where there was no war every day, and the Confucian school was all about knowing etiquette, understanding etiquette, not being warlike, preaching the royal way, and the like, or instigating the king to turn all the heads of the country into fools.

The first characteristic of Confucianism is that the realization of its moral ideals is the ultimate value goal.

The second characteristic of Confucianism is the moralization of the "ideal social system" based on Confucian ideology, that is, "self-denial and retribution for benevolence", and "li" is equated with benevolence as a moral value.

In the Western Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhongshu's "transformation", the third feature of Confucianism is to moralize the order of the universe and the laws of nature, which is "the unity of heaven and man". Confucian morality corresponds to "heaven" or "heavenly principles". The cosmic order, the laws of nature, become part of morality.

In the era of struggle, in the era of hard work, who dares to talk about what is not good for war, who cares about what etiquette and morality to talk about, is doing everything in order to survive. Who dares to appoint Confucianism to govern the country, and who dares to use Confucianism to govern the country.

Seems a little wrong? During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism succeeded in using Confucian academic concepts to govern the country, but these "experimental fields" seem to have "failed" and failed in a very short period of time...... It is equivalent to the destruction of the country.

The current Confucianism is not the Confucianism that was stiffened in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Lu Zhe's understanding of Confucianism must have a wrong view, but there are people who have read books here.

Lu Pheasant doesn't read much, and the Confucianism she understands is probably hearsay.

Wei Wen...... To be honest, I can't read at all.

Zhao Wan, who was born in a high-ranking family and has been cultivated by aristocrats, is a person who knows a relatively lot about contemporary Confucianism, but she did not describe Confucianism according to her own understanding and views, but expressed her father's views on Confucianism.

Zhao Gao was the commander of the CRRC government of the Qin State. Not only is he in charge of the carriages and horses of Xianyang Palace, but even the Tianliu Seal of the First Emperor is also kept by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was a servant and playmate who took care of the daily life of the First Emperor since he was a child, and after waiting for the First Emperor to take power, he also accompanied him in the court meeting, experienced countless large and small court meetings, and met all kinds of people, because he was one of the core personnel of the Qin State, and his understanding of Confucianism was basically from the central point of view.

Qin's view of Confucianism is very straightforward, which can be summed up as "very good at speaking, but no practical ability at all", and the other is that "some of the theories may sound useful, but if you think about it deeply, you will find that it is too idealistic." There is no zài feasibility".

"It's utopia, isn't it?" Lu Zhe found that he had spoken in vain, where did they know what utopia was.

Zhao Wan was really stunned when she heard it, she probably knew that her husband would always say some inexplicable new words, so she didn't care.

Confucianism has never been used by enterprising regimes since the advent of Confucianism, which has been a marginalized school of thought from the moment it was born.

At the end of the Warring States Period, Confucianism began to take the bottom line, as if it wanted to control the discourse of the people, and then to achieve the coercion of "all mouths", forcing the state to begin to face up to the power of Confucianism. If it is according to modern terms. That is the kind of behavior such as "illegal pyramid schemes" and "cult organizations", which coerce the public to achieve their desire to participate in politics.

Confucianism was really successful in doing so, and those in power were forced to let Confucianism participate in politics, but according to Confucianism's "only talk but not do" urine nature. Let Confucianism manage a pavilion and it can't be managed well, so simply set up an official position of a doctor to settle it, anyway, the doctor only has the right to build yì and has no administrative power.

Surrounded by the success of public opinion, Confucianism naturally felt extremely excited. Since then, he has embarked on the road of representing the common people in everything, and in the Song Dynasty, the more he played, the more he went downstream, and he also made a "Wang Anshi Incident" of "the people of the world are looking forward to whoever is going to be for 30 years, and who is not out of the way".

From the very beginning, Confucianism was a school of thought that arose with the goal of becoming an official. The core idea is also who and who are the ones who integrate the ideas of the sages of the hundred schools of thought when they are librarians as stepping stones. Can a school of thought that is an official for the sake of being an official expect to have any theory of governing the country? Therefore, it has become a "take-it-or-leave-it-ism", anyway, "whoever did it in the first place, we should imitate him", and then found a grandiose "deception core" for himself who had no actual hands-on ability, talking about the glory of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors period, and shouting that he must achieve the glorious goal of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

When were the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, what was the social environment of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors like, and what was the national body and national strength of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. In that era when there was no writing, it may be that only goblins who have lived for thousands of years can stand up and "show up and say". Therefore, for what the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were like during the period, it can only rely on Confucianism to make up nonsense like writing novels, anyway, as long as the purpose of "fooling sentient beings" can be achieved, even if it is written as a mythological novel, it will be like that.

"So...... Is Confucianism not only a 'pyramid scheme', but also a 'concentration camp for swindlers'? Lu Zhe really didn't know how Qin Guo defined Confucianism: "Isn't this smashing people's jobs and demolishing people's old bottoms!" No wonder Confucianism scolded Qin for two thousand years, what a sin! ”

For what "two thousand years" and the like, everyone automatically filtered, and their fuss about Lu Zhe was a little difficult to understand, not only did the Qin State not treat Confucianism, but which of the other countries had seen Confucianism with a straight eye? Not to mention that the state level looks down on Confucianism, none of the hundreds of schools of thought take Confucianism seriously, and even often because Confucianism likes to "take the doctrine" and take the knowledge of other schools as their own "foundation for teaching", there are many disputes, among which Mohists and Confucianism are the most unpleasant ones.

"Hiss......" is not the sound of toothache inhaling when eating, but Lu Zhe's pure inhalation of cold air to express shock: "So after Confucianism gained power, it wiped out all the sons and hundreds of schools that looked down on them, and the Mo family with the most grievances was also ravaged again and again!" ”

It is no secret that Confucianism and the Mohists are unhappy, and the root cause of the conflict is that Confucianism "plagiarized" too many Mohist behaviors because of the seizure of the "private market", such as the "wedding and funeral" and "public opinion" that the Mohists have always taken the initiative, and at the same time, the two gangs also have too many arguments about "rites", and the result is that they have become enemies of life and death.

"Because of personal grievances, Confucianism scolded the Mo family's 'creation of zào sex' as a strange trick, isn't this too?" Lu Zhe was a little stunned again.

Zhao Wan was a little puzzled as to how her husband was so surprised by what everyone knew, she nodded, as if she was a little amused: "New tools can improve productivity, and new concepts may be beneficial to the family and country." A school that denies social progress, a school that stubbornly sticks to the old, how can everyone treat Confucianism? ”

At this moment, Lu Zhe was so emotional about one thing that it was difficult to understand, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period both looked at Confucianism in this way, how did Dong Zhongshu of the Liu Che Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty transform Confucianism "drastically", and what kind of transformation did Confucianism become, and whether Dong Zhongshu reached the peak of the professional theory of "flickering learning", which persuaded Liu Che to reuse Confucianism to "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism".

It seems that Liu Che's favorite teacher is Confucianism, and the Confucianism reformed by Dong Zhongshu is also "emperor first", so it was emotionally and practically necessary that Liu Che was successfully "pyramid schemed" by Dong Zhongshu?

Doesn't seem to be like that? Although Liu Che deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, he did not appoint any Confucianism as a high-ranking official in the actual governance of the country, and even Dong Zhongshu and Liu Che were also respected and not used, and the Western Han Dynasty active in Liu Che's period was still based on the Huang Lao Doctrine, the Legalist Doctrine, and the Soldier's Study of the Law, and it was only during the Han Yuan Emperor that Confucianism was truly reused.

The real rise of Confucianism began in the Han Yuan Emperor, because Liu Zheng liked Confucianism, good and benevolent, and the result was a tragedy from him, the Han Dynasty was tragic, and all the officials were selected by Confucianism. Guo Moruo said: "Yuan, after becoming a ...... The Ming Jing gradually became a pivotal political force, and a family of scripture and art of 'state and county guards, family lineage inheritance' appeared. After a large number of Confucian scholars entered the political circles, they would inevitably apply Confucian ideas to political affairs.

Based on the scriptures and righteousness, the country is governed. After Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, he abandoned the mixed politics of Emperor Xuan's overlordship, and issued various decrees and edicts, citing scriptures as evidence. questioned the minister, and asked "how to deal with the scriptures"; When the minister enforces the law, he is required to "follow the scriptures"; If the language of the minister's recital does not conform to the meaning of the scriptures, he will inevitably be severely criticized. Emperor Yuan's good Confucianism did not mean that officials should make superficial articles, but to put them into practice.

Due to the temptation of Lilu, teaching and studying Confucian scriptures has become a common phenomenon in society, since Emperor Wu "deposed the hundred schools of thought and commended the 'Six Classics'", to the Yuan Emperor period, the scriptures really flourished. It is precisely because of the Confucian way of benevolence and righteousness as the guiding ideology of governing the country that the turbulent society was temporarily calmed down, and the Western Han Dynasty did not collapse immediately, but survived for decades. But what about the negative effects......

"I originally thought that it would be to let Confucian students formulate etiquette, at most it would be to let Confucian students become teachers, but I didn't think about making Confucianism any important official position......" Lu Zhe was a little afraid, he realized that even a fellow who studied Confucianism was a great risk of becoming a teacher. (To be continued......)
