Chapter 34: A Brief Discussion on Confucianism
Confucianism, also known as Confucianism or Confucianism, is one of the hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin Dynasty, founded by Confucius Lao and originally referred to the master of ceremonies, and later gradually developed into an ideological system with benevolence and propriety as the core of the hierarchy of respect and inferiority. The pen "Qu" Pavilion www.biquge.info the most influential genre in China, and it is also the mainstream consciousness in ancient China. Confucianism has had a profound impact on China, East Asia, and the world. In recent years, many experts have said that Confucianism should be revived, after all, this is the traditional etiquette of the Chinese nation. However, I believe that although Confucianism has been inherited and developed in China's long feudal society, I have found that its academic ideas have many flaws from deep study, and even think that there is a thought that destroys people and lacks the spirit of democracy and freedom. Emphasizing the idea of loyalty to the monarch and the monarch and the minister, I don't think this is an obvious support for dictatorship and a hall of words. However, today I will not talk about the theory of democracy in these countries, but I will discuss and study some basic Confucianism and reality with you.
I believe that what everyone hears the most from film and television dramas is the view that the monarch is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife. The strict feudal hierarchy is the drawback and defect of Confucianism, and the more shameless "Three Guidelines" theory also lies in dividing people into three, six, nine and so on, and this division of components is innate. How much unequal the world has been created by this philosophy. Now first of all, I will start with filial piety, Confucianism actually pays attention to excessive filial piety, and after the death of parents, children should set up sheds by the grave to guard filial piety for three years. The so-called parents of the body hair and skin must not be damaged, but we all know that in the early Qing Dynasty, there was no hair on the head, and how many Confucian corrupt Confucians lost their lives for the sake of their hair. I don't know how they settle accounts, how they have lost their heads, and how they honor their parents. In the end, hair is important or life is important, which is also called giving up the book. There were also many Confucians who looked down on the peasants and the merchants. The only way to read is to be high, to regard the scholar who shakes his head and tail all day long as the most noble, to regard the person who puts it into practice and engaged in basic labor as lowly, and to learn from the peasants to grow vegetables and increase grain production as the behavior of a villain. And it is said that the people are noble, the king is light, the people take food as the sky, and the king is loyal and love the people. But he looked down on the peasants, and when he became an official, he oppressed the people, and the loyal monarch made a lot of gate lords and friends. Third, Confucianism advocates that it is difficult for villains and women to support. In the end, it developed into disrespect for women, the so-called brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, clothes can be repaired, and broken hands and feet can be continued. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was such a paragraph as "Liu An Kills His Wife", simply put, Liu An killed his wife for Liu Bei's stomach and ate meat, what a cruel thing it was, and later it was not only not criticized but also praised. As a result, it developed to the festival of the dead, the widow widow was considered a high wind and bright festival for a lifetime, and the women in each village were proud of the archway of chastity, but they could not raise their heads when they remarried. Women have to wrap their little feet and can't go out easily. Mr. Mao, the founding leader of the People's Republic of China, said that women can hold up half the sky, so what is Confucianism's evaluation of women, I say it is sexism against women. In short, we need to learn from Confucianism, because there are many good things in it that also need to be learned. There are both good and backward places in Confucian culture, and we must take the essence of it and eliminate the dross in order to carry forward the excellent ideology and culture of the Chinese nation. There is nothing wrong with Confucianism, but readers must have their own subjective consciousness, because not all Confucian cultures can keep up with the changes of the times.
