Chapter 10: Down-to-earth

1. Cultural backwardness hinders social development

Is the existence of "Hetu and Luoshu" scientific?

Now it is safe to say that "Hetu and Luoshu" are not scientific, nor do they have anything to do with science. It can be said that all theoretical products derived from "Hetu and Luoshu" have nothing to do with science and technology. Because the theoretical framework of "Hetu and Luoshu" is based on the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, and the theory of the five elements of yin and yang is only a virtual hypothesis derived from the observation of nature by the people of Huang Huaxia in ancient times, it is only a natural phenomenon, and its authenticity cannot be verified. Therefore, there is no need to argue or research, and now it can be said with certainty that the Chinese culture based on the theory of "Hetu and Luoshu" and the theoretical framework of the five elements of yin and yang is virtual.

Because the "yin and yang, the five elements" do not exist at all, it is natural that it cannot verify its scientificity, but as a natural phenomenon, it is not impossible to name it with a hypothesis, but it can only be recognized as a virtual hypothesis, but it is only a non-existent reality, and its authenticity cannot be verified by science, and it is understandable to call it a virtual hypothesis. However, a virtual hypothesis is a virtual hypothesis and cannot be used as a scientific basis to verify the real world.

It can be seen that there are serious root defects in Chinese culture, which led to the stagnation of Chinese culture after the 10th century, and was eventually surpassed by Western culture, which originally lagged behind Chinese culture, resulting in being completely kicked out of the superstructure and exiled to the people at the beginning of the 20th century. Therefore, it is not surprising that Chinese culture is not enough to lead the world trend and become the world's mainstream culture.

It is precisely because of the narrow and narrow nature of the theory of "Hetu and Luoshu" that the thinking of the Chinese has never been able to break through the dualistic world of "negative yin and yang". Recently, the Internet is full of reports on the Internet that Yu Huan, who used a bloody knife to defend his mother's dignity, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Liaocheng Intermediate Court in Shandong.

"The reason for the bloody case is a debt dispute between (Yu Huan's) mother Su Yinxia: Su Yinxia had previously borrowed 1 million yuan from a loan shark with a monthly interest of 10% in order to maintain the company's production, but she was unable to repay it. So the debt collector entered Su Yinxia's company, and Yu Huan's mother was insulted by the debt collector with her lower body, took off her shoes to cover her mouth, and after the police intervened and left the office building where they were located for 4 minutes, the dispute continued again. Faced with the dilemma of not being able to get rid of the debt collectors, Yu Huan chose to resist with a knife. ”

After 6 hours of suffering, 23-year-old Yu Huan picked up a fruit knife and stabbed the debt collector who had been entangled for a long time. These "uninvited guests" eventually died and injured 3, and Yu Huan himself was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Liaocheng Intermediate Court for committing the crime of intentional injury. China Youth Daily, original title: "Details of the "Yu Huan Intentional Injury Case": He fought back after being "pestled" by a chair. 》

After the verdict of the Shandong Liaocheng Intermediate People's Court was announced, public opinion attracted great attention, and netizens were one-sided in their tendency to "stab to death the person who humiliated his mother" - 23-year-old Yu Huan, "public opinion was unprecedentedly unanimous and angry, demanding that the Supreme People's Procuratorate quickly intervene in the investigation." (This phrase comes from the Internet).

The reason why this situation occurred and why the public would pay so much attention to a seemingly ordinary case is related to the disorderly lending of the private sector in recent years, the lack of supervision, and the unreasonable circulation of formal bank loans, as well as the irrational current economic strategy and legal means.

However, here we are not talking about politics, only about law.

In the 40th chapter of the Treatise on Scripture, I said, "The law is not a balance. Fairness and justice can be the scale, because fairness and justice are related to the two parties with a stake. Fairness and justice are not the balance, because fairness and justice are the tripartite equilateral triangular foothold, which is related to the justice duty of law enforcers to stop the harm and protect the victims. ”

The law is not a balance, and the damage of the victim cannot be inflicted on the perpetrator in the form of equal value, because the law is a just organ that punishes crime and stops evil.

For minor crimes, the law is based on the principle of suspending the crime and punishing the perpetrator. Efforts are made to punish perpetrators for their violations. Since ancient times, the judiciary has been a disciplinary institution that has imposed social responsibility on the perpetrator in the capacity of justice for the perpetrator of serious harm.

Law is the punishment of criminal actors on behalf of national justice or social justice.

Therefore, the perspective of the law is not the balance of the scales, but the third party, that is to say, when the law demonstrates the fairness and justice of the law, it judges crimes from an objective perspective and punishes the perpetrators of crimes.

Therefore, the law is not a balance, and it is not possible or necessary to balance the balance between the perpetrator and the victim.

It is necessary to understand in more detail why "the law is not a balance"? To explain this problem, we must start with the scientific outlook of mankind.

We know that China's contemporary view of science is derived from Western culture. And the Western science in Western culture is divided into three major categories, namely natural science, social science, and thinking science. However, in China, the Chinese have an immature understanding of the scientific outlook. The Chinese have only known modern science for about 100 years. Therefore, the Chinese should not be arrogant, and should clearly see that the Chinese have serious deficiencies in their understanding of the contemporary scientific field.

For 5,000 years, Chinese culture has been applied to the virtual Chinese-style natural science based on the theory of "Hetu and Luoshu", and the real natural science, natural science, social science and thinking science can be said to be half-understood. Why?

Because China's understanding of science before the twentieth century was coherent.

Before the twentieth century, there was no categorical science in Chinese culture, only Confucianism and Confucianism based on the theory of "Hetu and Luoshu", and there was no clearly classified natural science, let alone social science and thinking science.

In the field of social sciences, all the views held by Chinese come from the theory of "Yin and Yang Five Elements" based on the theory of "Hetu and Luoshu", that is, Confucianism and Confucianism, and the foundation of Confucianism and Confucianism is dualism. And for the science of thinking, the Chinese know almost zero.

Now we know that the science of mind is divided into three components, namely abstract (logical) thinking, figurative (intuition) thinking, and inspiration (epiphany) thinking.

In layman's terms, it is intuitive (image) thinking, inductive (epiphany) thinking, and objective (logical) thinking.

Due to the problem of cultural roots, the Chinese have always applied the dual thinking of intuitive (image) thinking and induction (epiphany) thinking in the field of thinking science, and the Chinese have a mixed attitude towards objective (logical) thinking, or they can disagree with it, because the Chinese believe that the world is a world of yin and yang, and there is only the golden mean from point A to point B, and there is no equal point of tripartite balance.

Therefore, you will see that the mark of the Chinese court is a scale, which is the science of Chinese thinking.

Actually, the law is not a balance.

To be precise, the Dharma is the third-party consciousness. To be correct, the law stands in the position of a third party, in the form of an equilateral triangle with the perpetrator and the victim, and stands between the two, using objective thinking to assert responsibility and obligation, punish crimes, and promote fairness and justice. Instead of standing at the center point of a straight line, the judicial responsibility of the two is equally divided.

At the center of a straight line, the law embodies the position of Lizhong, shouldering fairness and impartiality and quantitative justice. However, in the equal position of the equilateral triangle, the law embodies an objective position and shoulders the justice of fairness and justice.

To be precise, the law manifests fairness and justice, not fairness and justice.

Therefore, in retrospect, in the case of "stabbing to death and insulting his mother", the judgment of the Liaocheng Intermediate People's Court was not wrong. It's just that judges have problems with their understanding of the science of thinking. The reason is that the point of Chinese understanding the problem is standing in a straight line, and they lack the objective thinking of three points in equal directions. That's why you saw the result of "stabbing to death and insulting his mother" - Yu Huan, who was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Liaocheng Intermediate Court.

From this time, "the public opinion was unprecedentedly unanimous in its anger and demanded that the Supreme People's Procuratorate quickly intervene in the investigation." From this point of view, it can be seen that the Chinese are not without objective thinking and have a strong sense of third party, and it is only because culture cannot keep up with social development that the current results have appeared.

Therefore, many people ask, what kind of outcome would this case have been if it had happened in the West, and how would Western judges decide?

To answer this question, we still need to start with culture.

Western culture is a culture of "love" and "wisdom", which is what the Oriental people call philosophical culture. Philosophy is a culture that gets rid of the natural sciences and is devoted to the science of thinking. Only start from "people", start from "people", and focus on the study of human nature. If the case takes place in the West, the judges in the West will judge the negligence and culpability of the parties from the perspective of "humanism".

However, Chinese judges start with "matter" to talk about "reason", and judge and judge the negligence and guilt of the parties from "matter". Chinese proceed from the "reason" of things in everything, talk about "reason" of things, and talk about "heavenly reason". This has to do with Chinese culture.

Influenced by the culture of "Zhou Yi", the Chinese talk about the natural development law of things, that is, talk about "heavenly principles", talk about principles, talk about two points and one line, talk about intuitiveness, talk about balances, talk about fairness and justice, in fact, it is about virtual truths that cannot be seen or touched.

However, Westerners proceed from the "humanism", talk about reality, talk about the true face of human nature, talk about existence, talk about existence is reasonable, talk about the trinity, talk about objectivity, talk about fairness and justice, and talk about looking at problems from the perspective of a third person. If you have read "The Strange Case of the Cave", you can understand the "humanism" of reality in the West.

From this case, we can understand why the roots of Chinese culture are false, and we can see the cultural defects of the Chinese who start from "affairs" in everything. Chinese judges do not lack the idea of "human ethics", but are the result of the cultural defects of Chinese people who start everything from "things" and "facts".

It is not that the Chinese are backward in social science and thinking science, but that the scientific culture that guides the Chinese cannot keep up with social development.

To know that this world is a world of "people", not a world of "things", Chinese really need to be on par with "people-oriented".

China's contemporary culture has only just begun, and it has only been a few decades since it was truly established, and there is still a long way to go.

2. The phased process of human civilization

Human society has developed human civilization since then, and from the perspective of historical process, it has gone through four stages. That is, the slavery stage, the feudal stage, the bourgeois stage, and the constitutional stage. Corresponding to the theoretical level, it is the monistic system, the binary system, the ternary system, and the quadrernary system. Corresponding to social practice, it is the value orientation of power distribution, that is, the one-power system, the two-power system, the three-power system, and the four-power system.

The unitary system corresponds to the slavery stage of the monopower, and those who have studied history know that slavery is the monopoly of one power, the rights of the slave owner are unlimited, the slave has no rights, all legal rights are in the hands of the slave owner, and the life and death of the slave are at the disposal of the slave owner.

Historical development tells us that the slave society is the most barbaric, primitive, and worst of the human civilization system, and it is also the first social system to be eliminated, and it is a social system that must die.

The countries that currently have slavery in the world basically no longer exist, and some tribes in Africa and the less developed parts of the world still have the remnants of slavery.

The dualist system corresponds to the feudal stage of the dualist system, which is the beginning of the system of combined power and the beginning of the system of distribution of rights, the purpose of which is to expand the feudal system of rights, expand the scope of snobbery, concentrate the loose slave system under the close relationship of rights, and form a dual-track centralized social system of power and profit concentration.

However, due to the problem of the principle of the dualistic system, that is, the dualistic structure is a closed space at any finite pole, and it is an open space at any infinite pole, so the dualistic structure has the phenomenon of inertial development of neither left nor right, that is, if it is closed, it is too closed, and if it is open, it is open and boundless.

Therefore, historical development tells us that the feudal society is the social system with the most drawbacks, the most backwardness, the most decadence, and the most centralized power in the system of human civilization. The feudal system produces feudal thoughts, feudal warlords, feudal superstitions, feudal ignorance, feudal bureaucrats, feudal literati, feudal etiquette, etc., all of which belong to the definition of feudalism. Of course, it is inevitable that this backward social system will be eliminated, and it is also a social system that is bound to die.

The countries with the current feudal system in the world are represented by some countries in Africa and the Middle East, as well as North Korea.

The three-power system corresponds to the capital system stage of the three-power system, which is the beginning of the separation of powers, interests, and laws, and its purpose is to separate the executive, legislative, and judicial powers, and form a social system that is independent of each other and interdependent. The degree of civilization has changed qualitatively in the stage of the three-power system and the separation of powers, and mankind has begun to develop towards a civilized and open society.

In the stage of the capitalist system, the disadvantages of social development are the monopoly of capital, the serious polarization of capital, the disparity between the rich and the poor, and the absolute social wealth of a small number of people.

In the same way, historical development tells us that the capitalist system society is not the social system that human beings need most, and the excessive monopoly and concentration of capital in the capitalist system is the root cause of social injustice.

The countries of the current capitalist system in the world, represented by the United States, Russia.

The four-tier system corresponds to the constitutional stage of the four-power system, and the constitutional system is an upgrade board of the three-power separation system and the separation of powers. There are currently presidential constitutional systems and constitutional monarchies in the world. The constitutional system increases the power of the president or the monarch, divides part of the power of the executive, legislative, and judicial powers, and forms a social system with four separate powers, which are independent of each other and interdependent.

The constitutionalism strengthens the supervision mechanism, disperses the risk of excessive concentration of power, balances the monopoly asset bubble of excessive expansion between the state and the private sector in the operation of capital, forms a programmatic social development system based on the constitution, and guarantees the rights of the common people.

However, the disadvantage of the constitutional stage is that the supervision mechanism is uneven, because the president or the monarchy represents the power class, therefore, the president or the monarchy is unable to supervise the power class and the interest class, therefore, the constitutional stage is also a social system that will inevitably be eliminated, and the social development must appear to represent the interests of the people's supervision mechanism, in order to ensure that power is not abused, and social capital is not excessively occupied and consumed by a few, and the resulting era is the arrival of the era of the five power separation system.

Today's social civilization has developed to the stage of constitutional system, with Germany and Switzerland as the representative countries undergoing the development of the presidential constitutional system, while the United Kingdom and Japan represent the development of the constitutional monarchy system.

The constitutional social system is still developing, it is only in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go.

The constitutional social system is the starting point of the five-power social system, and only after the completion of the constitutional social system can we reach the era of the five-power system, and it will take about 1,000 to 2,000 years for human civilization to enter the era of the five-power system.

Because the historical development process of human society tells us that the development process of a social system takes about a thousand years.

Looking back at history, the world civilization has truly formed a social civilization system and society, and it has developed to this day in about 3,000 to 4,000 years. It corresponds to the degree of civilization of today's society, that is, between the capital stage of the three-power system and the constitutional stage of the four-power system. Why, then, is there an uneven development of social development and the degree of civilization in the world? The reason is that culture has hindered social development.

For example, after the 10th century, the Chinese culture of science appeared. The emergence of Chinese science and culture has seriously hindered the development process of Chinese society, resulting in the fact that China's social civilization has been seriously stagnant for nearly a thousand years, and has led to the fact that Chinese society has almost completely missed the stage of capitalist development.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that culture is the root cause of social development.

3. Annotate the 10th hexagram of Zhou Yi, performing the hexagram

The 10th hexagram of Zhou Yi, the hexagram (Tianze shoes). Dry up and down.

Walk on. Walking on the tiger's tail, not a man, Heng.

Shoes, feet to rely on. - "Sayings". Tigers, animals. Tail, micro also. Phew, too. Heng, Tongshun.

Note: Walk in steps. The foot wearing the shoes steps on the tiger's tail, the tiger is docile, weak, does not devour people, and is smooth.

Glance, a small eye. Lame, not right. Jun, Zun also.

Note: Walk with one eye open and one eye closed, lose balance, and barely be able to walk with one limp at a glance. When walking, the foot stepped on the tiger's tail, and the tiger devoured people, which was fierce. Martial people hold the order to respect the elder, and they are brave.

Note: Looking at the walking, the appearance of honesty, auspicious, those who wave the flag, good luck.

Judging from the divination of this hexagram, it depicts the image of someone walking with shoes on his feet. The content is concise and the line is clear. That is to say, if a person walks with shoes on his or her feet and accidentally steps on the tail of a tiger, for the first time, the tiger is docile, weak, does not devour people, and is smooth. Again, walking with one eye open and one eye closed, I lost my balance and sprained my foot, and I could barely walk with one limp. Accidentally stepping on the tiger's tail while walking, the tiger is angry, devouring pedestrians, and is a big murderer. The whole hexagram runs through and depicts a down-to-earth life scene of a person. From the description of the scene, we can understand that the ancient Yanhuang region was still in the vast era of wild beasts, and it was not as later generations commented, "The gentleman looked at this hexagram, so as to distinguish between the upper and lower levels, so that the people could follow the rules and abide by the rules." ". From this commentary, it is clear that the feudal defenders used the Zhou Yi to promote their Confucian ideas.

Here are four sentences to summarize this hexagram:

Down-to-earth fulfillment,

Stepping on the tiger's tail is anti-smooth.

The tiger and wolf are beasts after all,

He has never been able to do anything.
