Chapter 50: The Three Emperors and the Five Emperors to the Present Day (2)
The next morning, the widow and Ermao sat in the hall for breakfast, and heard the widow say: "Ermao, when I said you last night, I was actually illustrating a truth, people have been pursuing "moral" norms, in fact, moral standards are produced by norms.
A person's behavior should start from morality, start from norms, and people's hearts are good, which is the traditional understanding of the Chinese for thousands of years, in fact, people are mistaken. Why? Because China is a country with a developed agrarian society, since ancient times, the Central Plains region has been the most developed agrarian society in the world, and what the agrarian society needs is cooperation, and cooperation needs and strengthens norms. Therefore, since ancient times, tribal elders and later rulers have always attached importance to the strengthening of norms, but neglected the protection of morality and discouraged the extension of freedom. However, the Western nomads have completely different ideas of freedom, strengthened the protection of morality, and attached importance to the checks and balances of morality on freedom. The use of norms to balance self-interest and balance the development of society. So as to achieve a balanced development of society. However, the agrarian peoples of the East attached importance to the strengthening of the power apparatus, ignoring the idea of free and unrestrained as an effective force to check and balance bureaucracy, confusing the source of morality from norms, and shading the purpose of everyone like the shade of a tree. Due to the confusion of moral concepts, since there is no source for "good" and "evil", then what is "good" and what is "evil"? Where does good and evil come from?
What is 'good'? 'Goodness' is actually an ideological concept derived from morality, which belongs to the category of morality. So where does morality come from, and do moral standards come from the human heart? Not really. Morality comes from norms, so what are norms? Norms are management, and norms are the measurement standards of fair management, that is, today's government, legal system, and other departments that formulate norms and standards. So where does morality come from? When it comes to the source of morality, in fact, for thousands of years, people have attributed morality to the human heart, to the "goodness" born from the heart, and the so-called "the beginning of man" as Confucius said. Is this true? In fact, this is the residual poison of the foolish thinking in the Confucian imperial thought, and it is a decisive mistake.
What does man know about "evil" from leaving the mother's body? What is "goodness"? I don't know. Born ignorant, there is no good or evil. When you are born, the first thing is to breastfeed, the first need to live is the first need, and if you have a need, you must have free space to get food freely under the protection of your mother. Then demand comes from free acquisition, and acquisition is the source of survival. Then how much does a person need, after the human race has tribes. It is not an infinite free acquisition, but a distribution system, which has the same group effect regardless of whether it is an agrarian society or a nomadic people. Therefore, need is the origin of sequential distribution, and it cannot be said that you should get as much as you need. Distribution and sharing is the origin of order, and the balance and order of sharing are the standards that produce norms, so the standard of morality is the norm. And the norm comes from the order. It is not difficult to understand that "good" and "evil" come from norms.
So where does the norm come from? Norms come from the fair and equitable distribution of wealth. Norms come from needs, people are born to live, and life is the source of need. To survive, you need to hunt food, and to hunt food, you need to take action and behavior, and behavior is the embodiment of need, and action is necessary. There is an order in how much is needed, and the order naturally produces norms, and the generation of norms is the standard of morality. Human needs are innate. It comes from free hunting, free trade, and free creation, but order and norms are mechanisms to balance the distribution and sharing of wealth. Thus the measure of the human heart and freedom distinguishes the element of how much a person has needs, which is intangible, free, and comes from the heart. At the same time, it also distinguishes a person's ability, a person's ability is large and small, a person's ability to create wealth and hunt for wealth is different from his birth, and different demand abilities produce different wealth effects, so some people are rich and some people are poor. There is no distinction between high and low, but there is a distinction between rich and poor, and there is a distinction between ability. With the development of society, the rich and the poor are naturally divided, so how can the excess wealth of the rich be redistributed and shared with the poor? This is done by norms, and duels are not done by freedom, nor by morality. This is a point of contention that has been the focus of controversy in recent years, and it is also a very, very important social issue.
Nowadays, no matter from sociology, economics, or any point of view, the distribution and sharing of wealth is not something that the rich themselves can dispose of at will. The abuse of the meaning of 'good' throughout the ages, and the unrestrained exercise of good and evil in morality, is not the use of "good", but the flaunting of some people's wealth, and the provocation of norms. Even if people have a rebellious mentality towards the good, they will have a distrust of the normative order, which will lead to resentment and questioning morality. In fact, the standard of checks and balances morality comes from needs, and the fair and just orderly distribution system that needs is the standard of checks and balances morality.
And the power of checks and balances comes from freedom, from the free minds of all people. Freedom cannot be infinite, and the mechanism of checks and balances on freedom comes from morality.
It is not difficult to understand why the thinking of Westerners is different from that of Easterners. Nomads are free and unrestrained in their behavior, and their natural thoughts are free and unrestrained, and nomads make a living from nomadism and act freely, so they naturally attach importance to the extension of free thoughts, while agricultural peoples are born from sedentary conditions, and naturally attach importance to order and norms. In fact, this is also the fundamental reason for the difference in cultural ideas between the East and the West.
So where does freedom come from? In fact, freedom really comes from the human heart, and freedom is born from the heart. For thousands of years, due to the needs of farming, Oriental people have always attached importance to the strengthening of order and norms, suppressed the idea of freedom, and confused the concepts of freedom, morality, norms and needs with feudal thought. This is the greatest torque and stubborn disease of an agrarian society. For example, the understanding of morality, the understanding of morality in agrarian society is distorted, basically based on the concept of feudal domination, is the annihilation of human nature and freedom, due to the limitations of agrarian society, the measure of freedom can not be played, and the checks and balances of norms are not strong, and the strong position of norms is the root of moral distortion, no matter what things in the world must have a corresponding checks and balances mechanism, the development of any kind of thing has no checks and balances, which will inevitably lead to excessive expansion, Overextension is the root cause of disaster, and it is also the reason why water can carry a boat or overturn it. The rapid pace of institutional change in an agrarian society cannot but be attributed to the excessively strong position of order and regulation. The excessively centralized and strong normative management suppressed the extension of freedom and democracy, which was the root cause of the rapid social evolution, and it was also the fundamental reason for the rapid change of dynasties in the ancient Eastern feudal countries.
As mentioned above, natural freedom is not unlimited, and the standard of checks and balances comes from moral boundaries. Morality comes from norms, and norms come from the needs of fair and just distribution of people, so norms must be a fair and just distribution system, and a fair and just distribution system is the foundation for producing correct morality. The correct moral standard is the standard for balancing free thought, and it is also the foundation for norms to produce morality and morality to protect all sentient beings.
This is the birth of freedom in the heart, and the free mind and external conditions produce wealth. Wealth needs a fair and just distribution and sharing of the normative system, fair and just norms produce correct moral concepts, correct morality like an umbrella to protect all people, and everyone has children under the umbrella of morality.
On the contrary, moral checks and balances are free, free checks and balances norms, standardized management of all people, distribution of wealth by all, and fair and just sharing of wealth are the standards for measuring morality.
This is the real social logic relationology. ”
"Auntie. I remember. ”
"Ermao, the reason why I talk so much about the correlation between morality, norms, freedom, and needs is to let you deepen your understanding of the eight-character numerology. When people encounter confusion in life, the mood of distress is unbearable. So many people will ask, why is my life so miserable? Why am I so tired from living? Then start looking for ways to know yourself. To understand yourself, you need to understand your own life course, and if you want to know your life course, you need a set of theoretical systems and calculation methods. Fortune arithmetic is in a broad sense. It is to take the time of a person's birth as the starting point of the fate of the romance, and calculate the trajectory of a person's life destiny.
Oriental culture first began with sacrificial activities, and early people invented writing to record sacrificial activities and sacrificial time. It extends to all fields. The I Ching and the Eight Characters are no exception. The Book of Changes, the Eight Characters and the later Feng Shui are all in the relationship between the five elements at the time of the Romance. That is to say, a person's life, no matter what theoretical system you use to calculate, is in the time of interpretation. Therefore, it is not difficult for you to understand where human life comes from, where it comes from, from heaven and earth, from parents, and the real concept comes from time. That is to say, a person's 'life' comes from the moment when a person sees the sky, that is to say, no matter what method you use to leave the mother's body, when a person sees the sun and sees the sun, it is a person's 'life' that is born, which is fortune-telling.
The ancients used A, B, C, D, etc. to represent time, and if we use Arabic numerals to represent A, B, C, D, etc., we can draw a numerological conclusion and get more accurate results. The ancients used A, B, C, D to calculate numerology and today's people used Arabic numerals to calculate mathematics, all of which were looking for logical relationships and deducing a universal law, and where to find this law was only derived from time, so the ancients used the law of time to calculate the law of life. That is to say, any fortune-telling in the world is calculating the laws of time, which is related to the fortune of life, so the basis point of contact between the year, month, day, hour, hour, and second when a person is born is the starting point used to calculate the fate of a person's life. From here, it is not difficult to understand that the four-pillar prediction science takes the month as the starting point when calculating the big luck, and the hour as the starting point when calculating the small luck, which is scientific and accurate.
In this way, we can understand that all the fortune-telling in the world is based on the basis of time to deduce life, including Western astrology, so all the world's fortune-telling theories, in a broad sense, fortune-telling is a kind of time-based arithmetic of the trajectory of life destiny, and there is nothing mysterious at all.
The reason why people think that fortune telling is mysterious is because most people don't understand it, and things that can't be understood by most people naturally have a veil of mystery on it, and when this veil is lifted, people will find that it is nothing more than that.
Ermao, in fact, fortune-telling is not mysterious, unveiling the veil of mystery, you will find how practical the theoretical knowledge here is. As far as you're concerned, you're a man with too much lust. Why? Because your moon bathing and the salty pool of the present qualitative nature of your life of lust psychological burden is very heavy, your lust fire will often burn in your heart, you often can't control your own desires, this strong desire once you encounter external suitable conditions, your lust heart is uncontrollable, and it is inevitable to do erotic things. My aunt understands your feelings and knows that you can't live without a woman at your age, so she should not see your deviant behavior. But you have to remember that when you act beyond the norm, disaster will naturally befall you. My aunt can't support you for a lifetime, you will have to walk out of this house one day sooner or later, you have to support yourself with your own hands, my words are just a reminder for you, you are so self-sufficient. The widow didn't look at Ermao, but got up and went back to the back room.
This Fan Ermao looked at the back of his aunt and thought to himself, seeing that he couldn't hide this from his aunt, his aunt knew, alas. I thought about getting up and doing my own thing.
Precisely:
The birds in the world also take pictures,
What's more, you can't be in love.
Food and color are born from the same root,
If you want to fill it, you must fry yourself. (To be continued......)
