20. The theory of the three qualities of temperament

Han Yu didn't expect Gao Yue to come with a straight ball and let him talk about his opinion.

However, Han Yu has never been a person who conceals his thoughts, in order to answer Gao Yue's question, he first elaborated on his "three qualities of sex" and "three qualities of love".

"Sex is innate, with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. Since birth, the top grade has the five ends, and as long as you focus on one end in your career, the other four ends will naturally follow; In the middle grade, one of the five ends is indispensable, and if one is missing, the other four ends will be mixed and impure; Those who are inferior do not have five ends, not only that, as long as one end is violated, the other four ends will also be lost. It has been said that the nature of a saint cannot be named (meaning that the nature of a saint is natural); And the crumbs (inferior wicked, similar to the crumbs of the world) cannot be named (meaning that it is useless to talk to them); Only the nature of Chinese people, such as silkworms like eggs, silkworms can only become silk after being reeled and poured into soup, and eggs can only be chicks after hatching for 20 days, and sex must be taught a lesson before it can be good, and it is definitely not within the reach of simplicity. Wang Chengfu, a middle-grade person, he is simple and natural, and has self-knowledge, but it is only simple, he knows that he loves himself and does not harm others, but he cannot harm himself to love others, so he lacks lessons and cannot reach the high-grade realm; Former Runshuai Li Qi, for the inferior person, he has no compassion, no shame and disgust, no resignation, no right and wrong, only knows how to harm others and fatten himself, and all five ends are lost, so in the end, he deserves to be overturned. ”

Gao Yue listened, nodded slightly, and then asked Han Yu rhetorically, "Under Li Qi's management, there are tea lords and salt ko, what kind of product is this?" ”

Han Yu was obviously prepared, and he said aloud, "Middle-grade people need the lessons of high-grade sages, so in the era of Tang Wu, people naturally turned to good, and in the era of darkness, people naturally became evil." The tea lord and the salt coward were originally the sons of the government, and they took risks, is this the responsibility of the people? No, it was Li Qi, a low-grade villain, who naturally led to the tea lord and Yankou, and after Wei Gong calmed Jiangdong, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and even the phoenix flew back to inhabit, which is an excellent example of goodness in the lesson of the upper grade. ”

Gao Yue couldn't help laughing, pointed at Han Yu, and then pointed at himself, "It seems that retreat is to regard me as the top grade, so I don't know what retreat thinks, which end of the five ends I specialize in?" ”

"It is wisdom that defends the country." Han Yue judged it clearly, and then his tone immediately changed, "Although Wei Gong is the top grade in terms of sexuality, he can only be regarded as a medium grade in terms of emotional quality. ”

"Oh, please stand back and speak for me."

First of all, it must be said that no matter what grade, there are seven kinds of human feelings, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire. The seven emotions of the top grade, in the dynamic and static place, are just right, completely in line with morality, and never exceed the rules; And the love of the middle grade, when it is launched, it is either too much, or it is not enough; As for the inferior products like Li Qi, they are completely willful, regardless of their character, and bring about their own destruction. ”

Gao Yue thought about it, so he asked Han Yu, which of my feelings is too much, and which ones are not as good?

"Too much joy, too much anger, too much love, too much desire. And it is too much to mourn, not to be afraid, not to be evil. ”

Speaking of which, the three of them stood on the high post of Guangling, and they were all silent.

Only the thunderous sound of the Yangtze River entering the sea could be heard in the distance.

Han Yu's evaluation is that Gao Yue is too angry and sometimes kills (or abuses); And love is too much, of course, the feelings in Gao Yue's heart are for his lover and children, but in Han Yu's eyes, he means something else, he thinks that Gao Yue lacks moral lessons for the people, lacks order constraints, and is overly enthusiastic about allowing the people to multiply wealth, which is in conflict with Confucian teachings, for example, Gao Yue recently introduced a new type of cotton loom from the Qiang households of Xingyuan Prefecture, and the efficiency was increased tenfold, so he began to promote cotton fields in Huaiyang, and also rewarded several Qiang women with 500 guan, saying what is the "patent", and then give it in the following years, This kind of ingenuity made Han Yu a little afraid, and he was afraid that people would eventually become servants of things.

And mourning, fear, and evil are not as good as the three things, because in Han Yu's eyes, Gao Yue sometimes lacks reverence for the Taoist order, and sometimes he lacks the principle of jealousy and hatred, and the contradiction between him and Li Qi is not as clear as black and white, but more similar to the difference between gray and white.

After a moment, Liu Zongyuan broke the silence.

Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan belong to the kind of friends whose personalities and knowledge are very compatible and appreciate each other, but they can't be like-minded.

The beliefs and opinions of the two men are too different.

Liu Zongyuan asked Han Yu: "Since it is said that the five ends of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are born with birth, then there should also be inferior fools, but why do you say that inferior fools cannot teach and guide?" ”

Han Yu replied, "The inferior fools do have five ends, but they are empty, but they can't hold them, so I said before that as long as they violate one of the ends, the other four ends will all be lost, and it is inevitable and destined for the inferior fools to violate their virtues, so even if they are born with five ends, they don't need to be guided by lessons." ”

Liu Zongyuan felt that what Han Yu said was indeed reasonable, at least he justified himself, and perfectly patched the contradiction between the theory of sexual goodness and sexual evil, and then he asked Han Yu again, "Retreat and say, the three qualities of people have seven kinds of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love and evil desires, but these seven emotions and six desires may corrupt virtue, instead of raising the soup to stop boiling, why not take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and completely abandon these seven emotions in order to cultivate virtue?" ”

Han Yu-for-tat, "Love, itself is naturally biochemically born of sex, the so-called 'love is not self-love, because of sex and love' is also, in this case, if there is sex, there must be love, sex is like a vessel, and love is like wine, there is no real if there is no wine, and there is no name if there is no wine, it all depends on whether it is consistent, how can it be cut apart? What Zihou said is all the heresy of Sangmen Buddhism, saying that Buddha nature and human affection are divided into two things, and it is necessary to cultivate Buddha nature and abandon human affection, thinking that Buddha is pure, and human affection is dyeing, and after purifying and dyeing, you can become a Buddha. Therefore, Buddhist monks neither emphasize benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, nor do they talk about joy, anger, sorrow, fear, hatred, love, and desire, and automatically fall into the inferior qualities of sex and affection, and they are all crumbs and villains! Even the encircler Wang Chengfu knows that planting corn, planting mulberry hemp, weaving clothes and walls like him are all mutually dependent relationships. But the crumbs of the monks, just cultivating Buddhism, not doing any production, accepting the government's almsgiving, the people's offerings, the so-called forbidden birth, extinction of human nature, after their death, if Yan Jun has a god, he should be the first to enter them in the tongue pulling hell! ”

This Han Yu is worthy of being from Xingyuan to Chang'an to Huaiyang, all the way out of the bloody fight with Buddhism, and the so-called three-product combo hit Liu Zongyuan was dumbfounded.

Liu Zongyuan's family has always believed in Buddhism, especially for the Pure Land and Zen Buddhism is fascinated, when he was a child and his parents were in Eyue, he came into contact with the very prosperous "Hongzhou Zen" patriarch Matsu Daoyi, at that time Eyue group practice observation envoy Li Jianxin, his father Liu Zhen and father-in-law Yang Ping (Yang Ping is still a lay disciple of Hongzhou Zen Ruhai Zen Master) also believed, even Gao Yue's cronies Quan Deyu also believed, is a lay disciple of Matsu Daoyi, and now helps Gao Yue build a canal in Jiming Gang Tianzhu Mountain Zen monk Yan Ran, is also a member of Hongzhou Zen. And Liu Yuxi, needless to say.

Liu Zongyuan wanted to refute.

But Han Yu directly struck a blow to him, "Since the son is thick-eyed, then why do you want to go to Ezhou for funeral, what kind of Buddha nature is this father-son relationship?" ”

Liu Zongyuan was completely silent.
