Chapter 251: Uncle Yue's Good Intentions
Bai Gui believes that Taoists should also seek opportunities to become prominent like Confucianism. And then! Use the power in your hands to promote Taoist doctrine.
"Confucius spent his whole life seeking opportunities to become a scholar, but? What is the use of his appearance? He did not succeed in popularizing his Confucianism. Opposite! Confucianism has been exploited instead. Like Zhou Li, it has become a shackle that binds others. Zhuangzi retorted.
"No!" Bai Gui objected: "Under the promotion of Confucius throughout his life, it still played a great role. It can be said that the credit is indispensable! In our Great Zhou world, no matter which princes and kings are below, the people of the world still act in accordance with the Zhou etiquette, and no one dares to openly violate the Zhou etiquette......"
Zhuangzi interrupted Lord Yue's words and waved his hand again and again.
"It's not that I dare not disobey, but!"
Zhuangzi said in an accentuated tone: "Those who violate the Zhou rites have no way for the people of the world. Zhou rites and Zhou systems have become tools for the use of power. Those in power can violate the weekly etiquette, the weekly system, and so on, and they have the final say. And the people and those who have no power can only be bound by the weekly rites, the weekly system, and so on! It's okay for those in power to go against everything, they can do whatever they want, but if the people of the world disobey it, you say? What's the use of this weekly ritual and weekly system, etc.? ”
Bai Gui couldn't refute Zhuangzi, so he had to say: "At least! Under the promotion of Confucius during his lifetime, the influence of Confucianism is increasing! In the beginning, Confucianism spread only on a small scale, only among students. Since he came out of the country in Lu, his influence has been great. At the very least, it awakens the memory of the people of the world. Hey||Words ||Grid can be viewed free of charge
Before that! In the heyday of the Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone followed the Zhou rites, which lasted for many years, and it can be said that it has always existed in the memory of modern people. That's influence! At least! During the time of Confucius, he awakened the memory of the world.
Second! He had many students, all of whom spread Confucianism through renunciation or other methods. One to ten, ten to hundred, chickens to lay eggs and chickens, thousands, this is the credit of Confucius.
So! It is very difficult for you to spread Taoism all over the world if you alone spread Taoism!
Your master is an example of this, he has been spreading Taoism all his life, and he has achieved nothing! After he went into seclusion, it seemed that there were not many people spreading Taoism. You said? He's been running around all his life, what's the use? ”
When Bai Gui said this, he also spread his hands towards Zhuangzi.
Why? The reason is that he has not formed a scale, a climate, and an organization that has inherited and continued! He has only one heir, you. And you! There is still no reputation, and not many people believe you as a young man. And Confucius! Legend has it that he had seventy-two famous students, all of whom helped him spread Confucianism from generation to generation. It is precisely because of this that Confucianism will inevitably become stronger in the future, surpassing Moxue and Taoism ......"
Zhuangzi didn't debate with his father-in-law anymore, he didn't want to argue, he already knew what his father-in-law meant. That day, Zhao Dacheng had already revealed some information to him.
At this time, it no longer makes sense to argue with Yuezhang about the disadvantages of Confucianism. Yuezhang is a drunkard, he doesn't mean to drink, he is not talking about the right and wrong of Confucianism or Taoism, but! He is talking about how to spread his own doctrine and ideas.
In fact! Master Yang Zhu's contribution to Taoism is also indispensable. However, due to the characteristics of Taoism itself, it is not as flamboyant as Moxue and Confucianism. People who truly understand Taoism are generally reluctant to become prominent in today's world. They were "wise and self-preservation" and did not want to risk their lives to preach, which caused the obscurity of Taoism. In fact! Taoism is truly the first school in the world.
Survive! How to survive and live a better life is a philosophy that everyone knows! So! Taoism is the world's first university sect.
Taoism is the science of survival! The study of healing the mind!
And he, along with Master Yang Zhu and those Dharma protectors, was different from most Taoist scholars. Because of their different backgrounds, they were willing to dedicate themselves to Taoism.
A Taoist scholar with a family, the first thing they have to do is to protect themselves, then their families, and then the people around them.
And those of them who have no family and no worries about the future, and who have died once or several times, don't care about death. Anyway, if you die, you will treat yourself as if you are dead. It was with this idea in mind that he went out to spread the word in public.
"What do you mean?" Zhuangzi asked tentatively, "Isn't it?" ”
Seeing his son-in-law ask, Bai Gui smiled with relief. It's really "son-in-law can be taught"! As soon as he said this, his son-in-law understood what he meant.
"Drink!" Baekyu invited.
"Drink!" Zhuangzi also picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Bai Gui put down the wine glass, looked at Zhuangzi, and nodded with satisfaction.
Zhuangzi picked up the wine jug again and filled it for Master Yue.
"That's what I mean!" Bai Gui glanced towards the door, lowered his voice and said, "I hope you will use this place in the Qiyuan as a base, your Zhuangzi's dojo." ”
"Dojo?" Zhuangzi pretended to be surprised.
"Dojo!" Bai Gui nodded affirmatively and said, "If you go aimlessly to spread Taoism, you will only end up like your master Yang Zhu's predecessors, and you will get nothing!" Nothing has been accomplished! I think! ”
Bai Gui accentuated his tone, and continued: "You first use the method of Taoism to govern the Qiyuan here, so that everyone here believes in Taoism and follows Taoism in life, like this!" Isn't it better? Think about it? You can't even manage such a small place as the Paint Garden, how can you govern the world? What about saving the world? Isn't it? ”
Seeing the old man looking at him, Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "I will govern the place of Qiyuan, as long as it takes about a month, it's okay!" I govern the Song Kingdom, and it will take about a year to govern. I will govern the Great Zhou world, and it will only take about ten years! But? ”
"But what?" Bai Gui asked excitedly.
"But? Let me govern the Great Zhou world, I must have martial arts to ensure it! Without force to protect the Fa, I may not be able to govern it for a hundred years! It's the same with governing the Song Kingdom, without force to protect the Fa, everything is in vain! ”
"That's right! My son-in-law too! Baekyu looked even more excited. After being excited, he lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you get the force?" ”
"So! I had no choice but to travel around the world to preach and try to make as many people as possible aware of the doctrine. ”
"Why don't you form your own force protector?"
"It's not that I don't want to! It's because I don't want to start a war, drag the people into the war, and ruin their lives! I don't want to be insulted by future generations, I don't want to be like Master Yang Zhu, who has obviously made contributions to mankind, but has ended up with the title of a murderer......"
"Your name?"
"No!"
"Then why do you care about fame? Why don't you learn from your master Yang Zhu's predecessors, do what you want to do, and do what is beneficial to the people in the world? ”
"I'm kind-hearted!"
