The Divine Blessing District is a jurisdiction smaller than the Haiphong District. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is the lowest among the four major jurisdictions of Mingjing City.

But the population density is highest here. A large number of faculty and staff, all live here.

This is also the rule of the Ming Dynasty. There is no special reason for the teaching staff to leave their own teaching institute easily.

As a result, many places of worship in this place, such as the domed Mu Si Lin Church, the Gothic Church of the Church, and the Blue Brick and Blue Tile Buddhist Hall, all stand in row in the area.

For example, on the opposite side of the Church of Mus Lynn is its dead enemy, the Church of Kit. Between the two sides, however, there was a religious war that lasted for centuries.

The most famous is the 10-character army east invasion. The number of people, the duration of the time. So far, no religion has been able to break the record.

Around these two churches stand a Buddhist hall, a Hindu shrine, and a synagogue.

When it was time for the religious service, the congregants dressed in different costumes would flock to the shrine and be diverted to different shrines.

This scene can only appear in Daming.

Because in other places, so many believers of different doctrines are huddled together, it is difficult to avoid conflict.

After all, many believers are very motivated when it comes to the issue of faith and admiration. Religion, on the other hand, is exclusive and unique, and does not recognize the beliefs of other religions.

This contradiction is rooted in religious culture.

Don't Da Ming know this?

Of course, Da Ming knew it and arranged it on purpose. The Ming Dynasty arranged these religions in one place, first, to facilitate management, and secondly, to allow these religions to influence each other, weakening and confusing the believers' firmness of faith.

And the Ming Dynasty is governed by the rule of law, and the law is strictly enforced.

If there is a dispute over the question of faith and faith. It can also cause a group-body conflict.

Then, the laws of the Ming Dynasty will make these believers understand the consequences!

All participants will be expelled in public by their church by order of the Department of Religious Affairs. In addition, they are also subject to re-education through labor, and depending on the severity of the act, the sentence varies from year to year, and the sentence is at least 10 years.

And when it comes to excommunication, it's not just for show!

On the day of the discommunication, other churches send representatives for on-site observations. And also gather believers, and do it under the noses of the people.

According to the teachings, Mu Si Lin should not eat miscellaneous or edible animals, such as pork.

Then when you are excommunicated, you have to eat pork in front of everyone.

Even if you don't eat it, you can't change the fact of excommunication. Those ordinary believers, on the contrary, will be forced to undergo labor reform because they violate the teachings of the Daming Sect.

According to the official statement, such a person, at the moment of being stripped of his faith, is not worthy to obey the teachings of the church. Otherwise, it will hinder the holiness of the Church.

Moreover, their refusal to cooperate has constituted contempt for the laws of the Ming Dynasty and blasphemy against the gods.

It is an extremely serious problem of thinking.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, who has always advocated civilization and respects reason, sexuality and freedom, of course, must help them improve their ideological consciousness.

In the labor camp, unless you are willing to eat pork, you can only work until you die! For such believers, the labor camp welcomes them with both hands, and it is never too little!

Like other religions, such as Hinduism, the consumption of beef or cowhide products is forbidden because the cow is the mount of Shiva. In Buddhism, meat and fishy meat are not allowed. Christianity, including Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism, is not allowed to eat the internal organs of animals. Judaism can only eat certain species and fish, pork and rabbit meat, and must not eat it.

Put it at the expulsion ceremony, these forbidden things, must be touched! Must eat!

In addition, the Department of Religion stipulates that when eating forbidden and forbidden foods, it is necessary to eat raw meat that has just been cut from animals.

So one by one, pigs, cows, and other animals were brought to many believers. A professional butcher cuts off their flesh and removes their internal organs.

Taking advantage of the heat, he forced the excommunicated believers to eat.

Looking at the blood dripping on it, I couldn't help but churn in my stomach.

But compared to being in a labor camp, this disgusting is only temporary. Most people will still endure the stomach that overturns the river and the sea, and swallow it with difficulty.

In fact, many religions do not allow apostasy. For example, once you join, you will be Mu Sling for life.

But the Ming revised the doctrine. All religions allow apostasy. There is only one restriction, that is, once you have betrayed or left your original religion, then you are not allowed to believe in religion again.

If there is a violation, they will be greeted by the severity of the Ming Dynasty.

By the standards of modern society, such a regulation of the Ming Dynasty is obviously excessive.

But in this era, who dares to oppose it!

And this practice not only did not arouse the disgust of the church, but also attracted more respect.

Because the Ming Dynasty only allowed believers to believe in one religion, it was a disguised guarantee of the loyalty of believers to the church. And the consequence of apostasy is expulsion, and the food for evil people makes many people prohibitive.

Especially after excommunication, no religion is allowed to accept such believers. This makes many people, when they betray or leave their religion, think about it.

So in order to preserve the faith, the believers are all like meek sheep. Even though they have many opinions about other churches, they dare not openly express their dissatisfaction.

In the identification of believers, Daming also issued clear standards.

Generally speaking, those who strictly abide by the religious rules and habits, pray and pray on time, and participate in religious ceremonies. And willing to include his name in the church's roster. Such a person meets the standards of a believer.

In the case of the faith tax, the amount of the tax is not set by the church, but by the direct directive of the Department of Religion.

Among them, Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism, as the longest, oldest and most influential sects, also collect the highest taxes.

Each person has to pay two Chinese dollars per month.

Although it is a small proportion of personal income, it is also a great wealth for so many believers combined.

If you have not paid the faith tax for more than half a year, you will also be excommunicated.

Therefore, in the face of faith, believers can only be willing to pay.

Churches such as Judaism and Hinduism that are less influential, or confined to a particular race, have their taxes cut in half, to only one Chinese dollar per month.

Like Taoism, rooted in overseas Chinese. However, most overseas Chinese do not believe in religion. Or, not a staunch believer, not registered.

Therefore, such a religion has less influence and does not have many followers.

Every month, it only receives a symbolic 0.1 Chinese dollar.

Among so many religions, Confucianism is a special existence.

Because this is the only one in the Ming Dynasty, it does not collect believers and does not charge faith tax. However, it bears the name of religion, and in the blessed area, it is a sect with a formal religious place.

Unlike other religions, Confucianism is more realistic and does not have an omnipotent god or spirit.

Its influence is more reflected in morality.

After all, after more than 1,000 years of inheritance, Confucianism has endured. It plays an important role in the East Asian cultural circle.

So the Ming Dynasty distorted and mixed a lot of ideological definitions that were in line with the values of the Ming Dynasty. Some do not meet the requirements, directly rejected. For example, the requirements for women's three, from four, virtue, loyalty, and chastity were changed to equality between men and women by the Ming Dynasty. At least in legal status, men and women are equally valuable.

This kind of neo-Confucianism has almost been changed to a complete face. To some extent, it is completely only in the name of Confucianism.

And the Ming Dynasty needs it the most, and it is also the name of Confucianism.

Because for overseas Chinese, Confucianism occupies a large place in their cultural system. So that no matter where they go, as long as they can speak Chinese, it is difficult for them to forget their Huaxia foundation and their cultural roots.

This has a non-negligible effect on the return of the Chinese to their hearts and enhance the sense of identity of the Chinese people with the Ming Dynasty.

But what Daming didn't expect was that those Australian aborigines identified with Daming more than the Chinese, and it was easier for them to accept Daming's values.

In Neo-Confucianism, it accounts for a large proportion.

Their thinking was deeply influenced by the early founders of the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that culture is always the most imperceptible and lethal weapon. The impact is far-reaching and devastating.

Think about the next generation of Australian Aborigines who will still think that they are just indigenous. In their bones, it is estimated that they are more Ming than Daming.

As a result, a people, a single cultural group, disappeared into the long river of history.
