It is said that in ancient China, there were three religions and nine streams, three hundred and sixty lines, and now plus the extraterritorial "park products", if you list them in detail, I don't know how many flowers bloom, but it is really dazzling, dizzying.

As a matter of course, freedom of belief cannot interfere with others.

But for the weird, they are more taught by tradition, and they are still willing to follow the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as the standard of life.

Taoism seems to have been founded a little earlier. Pursuing the attitude of "doing nothing and doing nothing", it is full of opposing speculation, just like the sad psychology of a woman standing under the "curtain of the west wind" looking at the yellow flowers in the garden: open it, open it as much as possible! If not, the pole will be reversed, which should be the Taoist concept of life.

Buddhism was introduced to China as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in its eyes, there are countless worlds in the overlap of space and time, and the world of human beings is extremely small, and everyone is in their own cycle of cause and effect, which is difficult to exceed, so it is yearning for a bright eternal life free from the cause and effect of life and death, that is, the so-called "Buddha's nirvana", and pursues the concept of "cause and effect and the world".

For people in the mundane world, the former must achieve "non-action" in order to attain success, and the latter must achieve "nirvana" in order to live forever.

It is not so much the essence of human philosophy as it is to make people learn to quench their thirst and draw cakes to satisfy their hunger, and there is a very negative attitude in it.

However, Confucianism is different from Buddhism and Taoism, it advocates "active entry into the WTO", and takes self-improvement and human morality as its own responsibility, and is a very positive attitude.

Therefore, among the three schools, I respect Confucianism more, and I am even more devoted to the Confucian saints.

Anecdotes once said: On the eve of the saint's birth, his mother Zheng saw a strange beast with a dragon's head and dragon scales and a winged horse body breaking into her home. Ask the doctor, only to know that it is unicorn. It was night that five immortals cast a divine object in their arms, saying: "Send Rushui sperm, the king of all generations." Later born Confucius.

China has always exaggerated the mythological colors of those celebrities and emperors, such as Fu Shuohuaxing, Han Gaozu beheading the white snake, Genghis Khan was born with blood coagulation in his hands, etc. It is not surprising that the saint was covered with this aura, and it was a beautiful word of reverence for later generations of literati.

The old book of "Wan Dai Su Wang" seems to be called "Thousand Years Su King", but it is believed that wherever there are Han people, there must be the education of saints, so although it is suspected of being unscrupulous, it is not an exaggeration.

Before the birth of Confucius, there were also several kinds of saints, King Wen of Zhou was a saint who cared about the common people, Yi Yin was a saint who was upright and noble, and Liu Xia Hui was a natural and easy-going saint (there was only one story in this person's memory of "sitting still", called a saint, very unconvinced); after the birth of Confucius, history and folk also enshrined many saints, what kind of soldiers, saints, paintings, holy books, and so on. In the eyes of the monster, the former is not enough to be called a saint, and the latter is just a leader in a skill, and it is far from reaching the realm of a saint.

Since ancient times, only Confucius has been called a sage.

A saint who combines the great achievements of ancient and modern talents!

A saint who educates all people to cultivate and survive!

In all the Confucius shrines, the saints bow slightly, clasp their hands lightly, and smile kindly, which is enough to make future generations learn for half a lifetime.

Confucius once learned the piano from his teacher Xiangzi, greeted Lao Tzu, and worshiped the toothy children Xiang Lu and Tanzi as teachers.

The most enjoyable thing is about the "two children distinguishing the sun" seen from the [perpetual calendar]. One says that the sunrise is near, the other says that the middle of the day is near, the other says that the sunrise is large and medium and small (from the visual discrimination), and the other says that the sunrise is desolate and desolate, and the middle of the day is like exploring the soup (from the senses). Each argument is based on evidence, and each other does not give in to each other. When Confucius passed by, he asked suspiciously, but he couldn't judge. The two children smiled and said, "Who knows more about you?" The saint was at a loss, admitting that he did not know.

If it is verified, this matter is categorically apocryphal, but it illustrates a sentence of the sage from the other side: knowing is knowing, not knowing is not, it is knowing. This also reflects the humble attitude of the saint.

The origin of Confucius's preaching was difficult, with few people giving it and many people rejecting it.

At that time, the Zhou room was out of place, the candidates were seeking profit, the world was in chaos, and the Lun Gang was in ruins. Repeatedly hit a wall, and the exiles were lost.

Once, he was separated from his disciples and found his way to the city gate alone. Shi Yan came out of the door and asked the gatekeeper, with a pretty image. The gatekeeper caught a glimpse of Confucius: "Isn't it the dog who has lost his home?" It can be seen that the saint was in a state of distress at that time.

In later generations, Xu Wei and Xu Wen of the Ming Dynasty were depressed and frustrated, and took this paragraph to proclaim himself "the lackey of the saint's door", and Zheng Kun, the head of the eight monsters of Yangzhou in the later Qing Dynasty, was also unwilling, and appointed himself "the lackey of the Qingteng Gate". (Xu Wei is also known as "Qingteng Daoren"). Although the two scholars boasted that they were saints, how could their ethics be compared to that of saints? One was angry and struck himself on the head with a stone, and the other was weird, losing the morality of being a saint in distress and being able to "introspect himself."

Confucius once said: "If you are not a beast, you are not a beast, but you are in the wilderness." Doubt your own ways.

Yan Hui said: "The way of the master is grand, but the small is unbearable."

The saint was relieved, and led the sages to travel around the world, preaching scriptures, and his ambition was strong.

On the way of Confucius's preaching, he met many noble hermits, morning gates, long-frustrated people, drowning people, and Chu crazy people, etc., whose talents and wisdom were not weaker than Confucius, but they all chose to retreat, and when they met Confucius, they all paid respect and persuasion: the world is so big, where there is a entrance, and all living beings are in a daze, where there is a mouth. The saint did not think so, and continued to preach, looking for the foundation of the world for all peoples.

When the saint was most depressed and frustrated, he also thought of retreating, Zeng Yun: "I want to live in Jiuyi", "The road is not good, I float in the sea".

And in the end, he still took the world as his own responsibility: "Birds and beasts should not be in the same group." Who is the disciple of Wu Feisi and has the Tao in the world, and the hill is not easy to do. ”

It is to continue to move forward, the head of the Qian, the black face, the poor years, this perseverance is enough for future generations to follow.

When Confucius preached and left the Qi country, he put away the freshly washed rice, turned around and left, and when he left the Lu country, it was better than the peacock flying southeast, wandering for five miles, reviewing three steps, and saying: "Go slower, go slower...". That's a reluctance to leave his homeland.

In fact, saints are ordinary mortals!

It's just that his humility, studiousness, and perseverance are better than ordinary people.

If our descendants can also learn from these virtues of Confucius and listen to the teachings of the sages, we will definitely get a precious wealth in our lifetime.

Heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, eternity is like a long night!

I believe in what I say, and I remember it.

I don't talk about Christianity and *** religion in this article, because the two religions are not comparable with the three, but they are small local religions (although there are many countries, but some of those countries are not as big as a county in China), which is not worth talking about.

And only by virtue of its "master" one person is high, and the rest of the people are ants

and if you do not follow this "Lord" will be destroyed by the nation and the people,

You can see the high and low shades.

This article was written in 2011, and some websites are pirated and charged, which is ridiculous and there is no way.

Because there is a story of "Dacheng Mansion" conceived in "The Legend of the Three Sons of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", I took the time to revise it today to make the relatives and gentlemen laugh.
