Chapter 24 There is no such thing as a way to be difficult for all eternity
Dian Hong opened his mouth, obviously he had never thought about it in this regard, and for a while, he was a little dumbfounded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Beside him, the young man said, "Actually, I also know what you're struggling with, teacher. You will come here, in fact, you are still more willing to accept the concepts that I have hidden in the Nine Yin True Solution, but it is really as you just said, Teacher, these concepts may be in line with the current situation in China, but they are not the law of long-term peace and stability, and even compared to the theory of heaven and man induction and compassion for things, it is more short-sighted and more focused on the present. Whether it is the theory of heaven and man's induction, or the theory of compassion for things, they are all trying to tell the world that they must do this, and only by doing so can they obtain eternal peace. In my Nine Yin True Explanation, the hidden concept is just to tell everyone that to become stronger, we will become stronger, and we will take responsibility. From the very beginning, it was born to respect China and resist barbarianism, it makes sense, but people can't see the hope of thousands of years later, and this is what you are struggling with, teacher, I only have one sentence to say about this. ”
Norihiro looked at him.
The young man said slowly: "There is no way in the world that is not easy for eternity. ”
Dian Hong was stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of silence.
The young man got up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly: "In this world, there are many arrogant people, and there are also many ill-intentioned people, they always want to find a great truth that can measure the world and be the criterion of ancient and modern, and then tell everyone that if you do what I say, as long as you do what I say, you will be able to achieve the great harmony of the world...... Yes, the world is the same, this is the goal that many sages want to pursue throughout the ages, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Mohistism, no matter what the means, what is ultimately pursued is actually the same thing, that is, the most perfect, no strife, no war, everyone is happy and happy world. Are they wrong? No, in fact, none of them are wrong, and each has its own reason, and it sounds like that. These truths, in line with the era in which they appeared, also represent the sages who thought about the world and tried to save the world. It's as if everyone has seen a wonderful immortal mountain, and some of them have taken the first step up the mountain, they are not wrong, at least, their intentions are good......"
"Since everyone is not wrong, what is wrong? The mistake is that those who are obviously just trying to climb the immortal mountain, but later generations have to ...... them Or one of them, as a method that is not easy to come. Those sages, the first step is to progress, and the descendants are forced to continue to study the magic of this step on the step they take, as if this step has already reached the fairy mountain, and they dare not take a new step, which becomes complacent, and even becomes a prison and shackles. The young man raised his head and looked at the sea of algae above, "It's like this celestial sense that it's all wrong?" Of course not. Regardless of the mind of the person who originally created it, it is undeniable that it has its progressive side. Prior to this, the emperor's power was too great, no one could govern it, and the theory of heaven and man induction, to a certain extent, put the emperor's unrestrained power in a cage, which was a reflection on the destruction of the Great Qin II, and indeed made the Great Zhou Dynasty maintain peace for hundreds of years......"
"The problem is, it's an attempt, it's a step forward, but for some reason it also becomes a prison that traps everyone. No one has the courage to question it, and no one dares to question it. All those who dared to question it were all knocked to the ground by those high-ranking Confucians, holding the books of sages, and then spurned by thousands of people. After all these years, is it true that no one sees the problem with it? But no one said it, because the power and scenery of those great Confucians were all based on its 'absolute correctness'. As long as they hold high this banner that will not be easy for eternity, they will be able to maintain their high position forever. They relied on this banner, and they didn't know how many people they had stepped on, so they were afraid that others would kick them over. ”
lowered his head and looked at the wind and rain outside: "These people have gradually formed a class and control the power of the entire country, so the truth they believe in is becoming more and more correct. If you think something is wrong, it must be your mistake, if you don't know what is wrong, then give me my own thoughts, and think of the right thing. ”
The young man smiled: "The sages have taken the first step towards the beautiful future they yearn for, we should have stood on the shoulders of the sages, standing higher, seeing farther, what is right, we insist, what is wrong, we correct." However, we would rather hide at the feet of the sages until we are trampled by the sages, and every word of the sages has become a mountain that weighs on our heads, and a celestial man has suppressed us for hundreds of years. Now, the sky has been turned upside down, the earth has been turned upside down, and nothing is right, and even the country has begun to finish. So everyone began to criticize, to criticize vigorously, saying that this truth is wrong, it is ridiculously wrong, come, let's find another big mountain, find another real and eternal mountain, and let it press on top of our heads...... And so the words of compassion came out. ”
The rain outside gradually became heavier again, and in the back garden, the rain hit the plantain leaves, making a crackling, rhythmic sound. The little black cat lying on the lap of the barbarian woman yawned lazily. The wild geese in the north, in the shape of a herringbone, flew over the county seat, flying lower and lower, anxiously looking for a lake to rest in the rain. In a corner of the county, there are refugees storming the shops, grabbing something, patrolling the streets hurrying in, some fleeing, and some screaming.
The hall was completely silent.
Norihiro was silent, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it at all.
Before coming here, he originally thought that what he would hear was Ning Jiang's criticism of the theory of compassion, as well as the supplement and propaganda of the concept of "natural selection" hidden in the Nine Yin True Solution.
He didn't expect that Ning Jiang didn't explain anything for his concept, and even agreed with the shortcomings without hesitation, did not make any justifications, and did not criticize and insult the theory of compassion that appeared obviously to counteract the influence of the Nine Yin True Understanding, but instead took another ...... A perspective that surprised him to look at the sages and the various ideas that have emerged in history.
"There is no such thing as a method that is not easy to live in the world, and any kind of concept has its scope to adapt," the young man continued, "In the pre-Qin period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and there was chaos, and the Qin State reused the Legalists and swept across the six countries. Subsequently, the usage of Daqin was too harsh, and the second died, so to speak, the success is also a Legalist, and the defeat is also a Legalist. Taizu opened a new dynasty again, and the celestial induction said that it was born.
"Celestial induction said that to a certain extent, it restrained the emperor, so that the courtiers could use the false providence of heaven to restrain and restrain the emperor. However, with the development of time, the theory of heaven and man has become more and more detached from reality, and everyone talks about the destiny of heaven in vain, but does not care about the public opinion of the people at the bottom. The important ministers in the court, ten years of cold windows, once famous, point to the gold list, enter the Hanlin, directly enter the court, hold the sage book all the time, and the words are all the mandate of heaven, the real way of governing the country, but it is ignorant, and it can be maintained to this day, all by virtue of the literary atmosphere, and as soon as the literary atmosphere is lost, it will collapse immediately......
However, whether it is Zhou Li, Legalism, or Heavenly and Human Induction Theory, they have all done things that are difficult for other doctrines to do in their time, and it is a ridiculous thing in itself to detach themselves from the era in which they live and see their final failure, but what is even more ridiculous are those descendants who either regard them as a method that is not easy for eternity, or devalue them to nothing. When they do their job, they are treated as immovable treasures, and when they eventually fail, they are treated as worthless garbage. They have never known how to look at them dialectically, at the period in which they lived, at the advantages and disadvantages that existed. ”
Speaking of this, he shook his head: "Why can't we seriously analyze their good and bad?" Natural selection and compassion are really so incompatible? Now that the barbarians are invading on a large scale, we should naturally try to make ourselves stronger step by step, and it is undoubtedly the most ridiculous thing to tell the enemy about mercy. But when we finally become strong and beat them hard, at that time, we might as well take a big stick and knock on their heads while telling them the truth of compassion for things, and if we don't want to listen, just knock them on the head.
In the same way, Zhou Li collapsed and Legalism rose, but the law of Legalism is the law of the emperor, and the emperor is strong because of the law, and no one can cure it, so he is restrained by the mandate of heaven. However, if we had made a change earlier, replaced the purely imaginary 'providence' with the real will of the people, opened up the wisdom of the people, and made the 'law' the law of the people, not the law of the emperor, there would have been no chance to go further. Even if the process is tortuous, as long as we have the courage to step out, we will take a step forward after all, even if we are wrong, we can know where the mistake is, and then further analyze the problem and make changes, instead of clinging to the defects, saying that the words of the saints cannot be changed, and the laws of the ancestors cannot be violated......"
"But this is a headache for the doctor, and the foot is for the doctor!" Norihiro frowned.
"That's right, the head hurts, the feet hurt!" Ning Jiang smiled, "That's the reason...... Why not? ”
"Why not?" Dian Hong looked at him with some doubts, "These are not the way to long-term peace and stability. ”
"Yes, these are not the way to long-term stability, but they are our steps forward!" The young man turned around and said, "It's not terrible to have a headache and a foot pain, but the real terrible thing is that it is obviously a headache, but everyone treats it as a headache and it doesn't exist." At first glance, this may sound like a ridiculous thing, but is it ridiculous? Isn't what we've done over the past hundreds of years so ridiculous? Everyone knows the problems of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but those high-ranking Confucians have assumed that they do not exist, and finally brewed to such a situation. And now, when the barbarians are massacring our people in the north, we say, we want to seek peace in all things, repay grievances with virtue, and resolve grievances, and what is the difference between this and the bandits who aim their swords and axes at our heads, and their heads are gone, but we say that we must endure, we must start from us, resolve our grudges, and pursue the way of eternal peace? Why can't we be honest when we have a headache and honest when we have a sore foot? ”
Dian Hong said: "This ......"
"Forget it, this doesn't matter!" The young man waved his hand, "They don't heal, I'll come to heal, at most after healing the dead, don't blame me." Today, let's not talk about reality, but about ideas, the words of sages, and the law of long-term peace and stability. ”
The wind and rain outside were getting stronger and stronger, knocking on the stone ground outside. Droplets of water leak from the dripping nozzles on both sides of the eaves, and below one of them, a large tank is placed, and the water surface in the tank is constantly splashing.
"It's not terrible to have a headache and a foot to heal, but it's not a long-term solution." The young man walked to the entrance of the hall with his hands in his hands, looking at the rain curtain outside, "What is really important is that we must recognize the reality and analyze it. We have to face up to the sore spot, face up to our headache, and then carefully find out the cause of the headache, analyze the law, and constantly try to solve it.
"The method that is not easy for eternity may not exist, but we should have the courage to take steps forward, if it is wrong, we will go through it again, and if it is right, we will continue to step down. We cannot stop at the footprints of our predecessors and then say that this footprint is our method that is not easy for eternity, and it is an absolutely correct and unquestionable truth. We must recognize that the sages are great because they provide a vision that they have never had before them, and we should stand on the shoulders of the sages and continue to look forward, so as to take the next step, instead of being humiliated and trampled under the feet of all kinds of false saints and people with ulterior motives. Only in this way can we get closer to our ideals step by step. ”
"But," said Norihiro hesitantly, "even if, as you say, we should stand on the shoulders of the sages and take the next step, but how?" Without a direction and a criterion, is it not a utopian dream in the end? ”
"The direction is there, and it's always been there!" "Although I think that it is not a feasible practice to let everyone have their own dreams, let a hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought resonate, and everyone takes their own steps and experiments one by one, but if I have to say, I think that if you want to make every step on the ground, in fact, you only need a firm foundation." ”
"What basis?"
"Learn from things, seek truth from facts!"

[This chapter talks about the great truth of a whole chapter. In fact, the stupid bird is not a person who likes to talk about the truth in the text, a bird has always thought that the text carries the Tao, is a great thing, but throughout the ages, there have been too many people who talk about the truth, a bird does not feel that he is really smarter than those people, can think deeper than them, or create something newer, and for the many knowledge that has appeared throughout the ages, the more I know, the more I feel that I don't know enough. When I used to study, I liked to comment on various ideas with self-righteousness, but when I grew up, I didn't say much about it. 】
[It's just that a person living in this world must also have his own personal opinions and preferences. Regular readers who have read a bird's previous works will probably think that a certain bird likes the doctrines of Taoism and Mohism, and hates Confucianism, right? However, although I like Taoism and Mohism more, I am not averse to Confucianism, and if I really want to say it, I really don't have a good impression of Confucianism. But even so, I still believe that the emergence of science also provides a new perspective and perspective for Chinese culture, and the real problem is not the emergence of science, but the fact that it is held high above the heads of everyone, shackling the country and the nation, and the later vested interests. 】
[The reason why humans are different from other animals is because we can think and explore. We are in the middle of heaven and earth, but we do not know about heaven and earth, we aspire to achieve an ideal social civilization, but we do not know how to do it, so various theories appear. Like prisoners in the dark, trying to find the exit of the cage, some people have taken a step that has not appeared before them, and they do not know whether this step actually leads to the exit. But either way, they offer a new horizon, like a dungeon game, and who can guarantee to find the right path from the start? Sometimes, walking to a dead end and then quitting is not also a kind of progress? As long as we have the courage to analyze it, if we think it is wrong, we will correct it, and if we think it is right, we will move on. 】
[We should regard every step taken by our predecessors as the cornerstone of our continued progress, the reason why the sages are great is because they provide us with a new perspective, but if we stop at that step like this, then even if that step is in the right direction, what is the use? It is for this reason that I am not averse to a particular doctrine, but rather to those who hold up lofty slogans, as if we have found the absolute truth, but in fact hinder the progress of society. And most of these people don't care what the slogan they hold is, what they really care about is the right to speak and the high position they hold because of this, and this ...... is what they really don't allow others to overthrow. 】
