Chapter 433: The Great Road to Simplicity

In fact......

No doctrine exists in isolation.

Everything in the world is inextricably linked to each other.

Just like Wang Shouren, what he learned in the past came from science, although to a certain extent, he questioned some of the theoretical foundations of science, but this does not mean that the new science and science are completely separated.

Just as the current Confucianism is from the Four Books and the Five Classics, from the Confucian sage, although everyone claims that they are the authentic Confucianism, but in fact, they have their own views and elaborations, is it because it is contrary to the true spirit of Confucius, are you not a sage protΓ©gΓ©?

The reason why there is tension between science and new science is not that there is really any mutual enmity between the two doctrines, but in fact, between the two, at least 80 percent of the understanding of things actually coincides, and the only difference is only the remaining 20 percent.

The problem lies here, without science, naturally, there will be no new learning, because the new learning itself comes into being on the basis of the old learning.

Just like the geocentric theory, when it appeared, it was also the truth that people regarded as the guideline, but there was no geocentric theory, how could heliocentric theory be born, people accepted heliocentric theory, and it can not be said that Claudes Ptolemy, who put forward geocentric theory, was a big fool, no, people still regard him as the grandmaster of astronomy and geography, and he is the originator of the mountain, and even Copernicus, who questioned the geocentric theory at the beginning, did not dare to say that his creative thoughts on astronomy jumped out of the cracks in the stone, among them, It must have been influenced by Claudius Ptolemaic astronomy.

In the same way, Fang Jifan was a human being in two lifetimes.

It is easier for him to look at this controversy objectively, is it really the same between Xinxue and science? Perhaps, as geocentric and heliocentric, yes. But among them, there is a relationship of mutual influence and inheritance. And the reason why it finally reached the point of the same situation in history is not essentially the controversy between scholars, but more - the party is the same and the different.

Man is the most political animal, and they distinguish countless kinds of enemies by religion, ethnicity, doctrine, and place of origin, and then everyone forms a group and attacks each other.

Historically, the emergence of Wang Xue, soon, has also derived countless schools, only the more famous schools are Zhezhong Wangmen, Nanzhong Wangmen, Chuzhong Wangmen, Fujian and Guangdong Wangmen, Northern Wangmen, Taizhou School and so on.

Some schools believe that the essence of Wangxue lies in the movement and stillness without mind, internal and external forgetfulness, and the Wangxue is blended with Buddhism, and the Wangxue has become a science and a Taoism for the purpose of improving one's self-cultivation.

There are also schools of thought that the so-called conscience is different from knowledge. Conscience is the nature of destiny, and so is the supreme good. Knowledge is the use of conscience, both good and evil.

Moreover, the so-called mind is the essence, therefore, they believe that the sky is clear from the heart, the earth is observed by the heart, things are created by the heart, and all things originate from the heart.

Of course, the above is more about the study of mind as some kind of philosophy.

On the other hand, the most influential is the Taizhou School, which believes that what Wang Shouren is pursuing is the way to govern the country and secure the country, and that Wang Xue should not be the same as science, just pure Taoism, and should not just pursue the philosophy of the inner spiritual world of people. Most of their students came from the bottom of the society, some were farmers, some were woodcutters, some were potters, some were blacksmiths, so they put forward the concept that everyone is a gentleman, and the streets are full of saints;

Even later, this school of thought put forward the view that 'no father and no king is not killing the father and killing the king', which is enough to cut off the head in this era.

What is Xinxue, people in later generations, some people regard it as philosophy, and even Fang Jifan in his previous life, he has met many supporters who claim to be Wang Yangming, and when Wang Yangming is mentioned, he immediately shakes his head and talks about his heart.

But what is the reality? Is New Learning Really Philosophy?

Fang Jifan pinched his nose and admitted, that's right, Xinxue was indeed born from Lu Jiuyuan's philosophy.

But the study of the heart, but by no means philosophy, Wang Shouren's whole life, is looking for a way to govern the country and the country, he is bamboo, he practices bow horses, he goes to the border towns to investigate, he learns the art of war, he uses his own eyes, to observe things, and tries to find solutions to problems again and again.

What he pursued was the supreme idea of Confucianism, the so-called world of great governance.

As a result, in the eyes of later generations, his knowledge was distorted into the study of the mind, and the so-called heart is the world.

Fang Jifan agrees more with the Taizhou School, although the Taizhou School of turtle grandsons actually advocate no king and no father, to defeat the lovely Hongzhi Emperor, but also to be equal to our Jifan, but Fang Jifan at least understands that those who hide in the study, whether they are pursuing the knowledge of things or the heart of all things, in fact, these people are a road, nothing more than hiding, thinking that the doctrine of a saint, is very high, very good, I want to pursue the great perfection in my life.

So what?

The essence of Confucianism lies in joining the WTO, and after all, joining the WTO is inseparable from governing the country and leveling the world.

Fang Jifan took out a portrait of Zhu Xi, the reason is very simple, distinguishing between useful and useless, it is a person, not a doctrine, in science, there is a group of nerds full of things, and in the future, in the new school, I think there will be a large group of scum hiding in the study, usually talking about their hearts, and kneeling down to sell the king when they are in danger.

Fang Jifan didn't care about any science and new learning, he really didn't care at all, rather than letting this group of scholars use the doctrine as a tool to attack the other party.

So...... It's better to be all of you here, I'm sorry, I'm also a disciple of Zhu Fuzi, new learning is inherited, there is no science, how can I come to new learning?

It's just that......

Everyone was confused.

Even Wang Shouren didn't expect that his mentor turned his head and sold himself.

But...... It's an exaggeration to say it's selling, it's just ...... Obviously, he has the upper hand and makes such a ......

Well, get used to it.

Wang Shouren's face was expressionless, and there was not the slightest sense of disobedience on his face, this is his teacher.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wen Suchen was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

I've never seen anything like this.

You Fang Jifan have claimed to be the inheritor of science, so ...... What am I?

Fang Jifan said sharply: "Wen Suchen, what are you still standing here?" ”

Can't kneel, never kneel.

Wen Suchen sneered in his heart: "Old man, I want to ask for another one or two." ”

He decided not to entangle with Fang Jifan.

This guy clearly wants to pull himself to the same level as him, and then the two sides tear up.

He is shameless, he is a Confucian, and he still has a face, once he fights with him, he will lose.

Therefore, he still stared at Wang Shouren: "In this way, Wang Bianxiu has thoroughly comprehended the way of the sage. ”

This sentence is powerful, it depends on whether you Wang Shouren is modest or not.

Wang Shouren bowed: "The way of a saint does not need to be understood. ”

"Oh? Is the so-called way of the saint so superficial in your case? Wen Suchen seemed to have found Wang Shouren's key point all at once.

Wang Shouren smiled: "The heart of the saint is broad and profound. But the learning of the saints must be simple and easy to understand, and the learning in the Four Books and Five Classics is actually not difficult. The so-called road is simple, and Confucius has seventy-two disciples, from the ministers to the peddlers and pawns, all of whom have comprehended the way of the sage, so how can the way of the sage be complicated? If you don't follow the simplicity, it is jerky and difficult to understand, just like the Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, then dare to ask, what is the point of the saints preaching doctrines? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Therefore, I have understood the way of the saints, and many of you here have understood the way of the saints, and everyone knows what the way of the saints is."

Wen Suchen laughed: "Then ask for advice, what is the way of a saint." ”

"The way of the saints is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Is it that simple again?"

"Yes." Wang Shouren nodded again.

When he said eloquently, everyone held their breath: "What the saint pursues is nothing more than the great rule, which is why we worship the saint." Therefore, when the people eat and eat, it is the Word! What my generation has learned in his life is nothing more than to let the people have clothes to wear and eat, what my generation has asked for all his life is Cathay, it is the people's security, it is the royal Hulu, the so-called benevolent government and people-oriented, isn't it exactly this principle? ”

Wang Shouren showed surprisingly calmness: "In the past, thousands of sages were pursuing to educate the world, but on the one hand, they were educating the world, but on the other hand, they made the way of this sage jerky and difficult to understand, not only did the reader not understand, but the ordinary people were even more confused. But as everyone knows, the so-called enlightenment of the world by the sages itself is to make the truth as simple as possible, and the simpler it is, the more it can be implemented. The student said so much, Mr. Wen must still be a little confused, but it doesn't matter, the student may wish to ask you to move and see something, the way of the sage, is hidden in it. ”

The crowd wondered.

Is the way of the saint hidden in one thing?

So they followed Wang Shouren out of the tea shop.

After walking more than 500 steps, a huge waterwheel appeared in front of everyone.

Wang Shouren pointed at the waterwheel: "Everyone, have you seen the waterwheel?" This is the way of a saint. ”

Everyone whispered and began to talk.

This...... Is it the way of the saints?

Wen Suchen's face turned red and scolded: "Wang Shouren, you humiliated me like this? ”

"Nope." Wang Shouren shook his head and said, "The student is not humiliating Mr., but ...... In this waterwheel, there is indeed a road of saints. ”

………………

This chapter is verbose, in fact, I want to crop it, but after thinking about it, I still have to be verbose. Some readers are scolding and talking about idealism, therefore, the tiger must expound Wang Shouren's mind and the views of various schools, and in each school, the perception of Wang Shouren is different, there is the Taishan school that has been applied to the world, and there is also a partial philosophical theory that the heart is the reason, and everything moves according to the heart.

How to say it, any doctrine has its own understanding, and what the tiger understands is biased towards the Taizhou school, so the road to simplicity actually corresponds to the Taizhou school, and the streets are full of saints; The heart of empathy corresponds to the equality idea of the Taizhou school, which is more inclined to the study of practical application.

Of course, many so-called people who regard Wang Xue as a philosophy and believe that the heart is reason are actually very disgusted with the Taizhou School, believing that it is not authentic at all.

Well, it's all up to you, the tiger's cognition of the mind is the view of the Taizhou school, this school is the least qualified among the various schools of mind, and there are many problems exposed, and even many views are different from Wang Shouren, but I think that if Wang Shouren is alive, Wang Yangming, who has had great ambitions since he was a child, bends his bow on his horse, and dismounts to settle the people, is more inclined to this kind of proposition.
