Chapter 314 Ram Confucianism
Under Wang Feng's appreciative gaze, Sheng Xuanmei blushed and snorted softly: "The Chinese characters have not been simplified yet, what do you have to sรจ?" This girl has a word first, and I'm all devoted to the study of genetics, but I don't have time to help you simplify the Chinese characters, and you don't want to beat my idea, you better ask another master. โ
Wang Feng's face showed some disappointment and looked at Sheng Xuanhuai.
Sheng Xuanhuai was heartbroken, and said busily: "I don't have time, since I was taken away by you last year, I have been making cattle and horses for you until now, I don't know when it is a head, don't beat my idea." โ
Wang Feng is telling the truth, most literati are pedantic and conservative, and now they want to get rid of the words they rely on for their livelihood, and it is strange if they don't oppose it, Sheng Xuanhuai and Sheng Xuanmei both frowned, and secretly thought about it.
"Alas~~" I don't know how long it took, Wang Feng sighed again: "In this world, it's really difficult to do a practical thing!" โ
The sisters and brothers actually had a sour feeling in their hearts, and an impulse to take over the task of simplifying Chinese characters was brewing rapidly, indeed, in the whole year of development, after recruiting and cultivating themselves, Wang Feng also had some talents in his hands. Whether it is industrial, military, or mathematics, physics and chemistry, everyone who learns. The scope of knowledge is expanding day by day, and the insights are becoming more and more unique. This is obviously a gratifying process, and sooner or later it will usher in the day when it will change from qualitative to quantitative, but there are so many types of talents, but there is a lack of master-level literati with appeal!
It's not surprising to think about it, Wang Feng is against Cheng Zhu, and the core of Cheng Zhu is science, and the heavyweight literati at that time were all masters of science, such as Tao Shu, He Changling, He Xiling brothers, Tang Jian, Hu Dayuan, Luo Zenan, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Hu Linyi and so on. The struggle between these people and the Democratic Alliance headed by Wang Feng was no longer just a life-and-death struggle between the workers, peasants, and businessmen and the feudal scholars, but had risen to the battle of ideas and cultural paths, and it was a general showdown between the forces of reform and reform and the forces of conservatism.
What is the Old Order? It is the monopoly of the literati on political power since ancient times. The new order is to break this monopoly and establish a coalition government of workers, peasants, businessmen, students, and soldiers representing a wide range of people, which is a redistribution of interests, which is equivalent to smashing the jobs of the literati.
If Wang Feng succeeds. The literati will not be able to control the government alone, control public opinion, or decide the life and death of the people. The noble status and many privileges are completely lost, which is basically the result of a stroke to the end. Because of the successive victories of the Democratic Alliance, and the heartfelt support of industrial and commercial owners and ordinary people for Wang Feng. That's why there are no literati who stir up trouble, but not making trouble doesn't mean not holding grudges.
In the past, the literati could not become officials without taking the exam, at least they could be private school teachers, and it was no problem to mix food and clothing, and the education carried out by the government not only did not charge tuition, but also provided students with a lunch with vegetarian dishes, which alone could attract enough students.
What's even worse is that the private school can only teach the four books and five classics, and can only teach disciple rules, but the Jiangsu Provincial Government recruits civil servants who do not take these tests at all, but require them to be able to write, be willing to do practical things, and have the ability to accept and learn new things and new knowledge.
In addition, the knowledge learned in the government-run schools is put into practice, there are mathematics, physics and chemistry, agriculture, and engineering and engineering knowledge translated and compiled by friendly foreigners, in short, you can earn money to eat, and you can become a leader in a certain industry if you learn well, this is the fairest era, the old ruling order has been destroyed, the new order has not been solidified, neither need to fight for the father nor use money to open the way, as long as you are willing to work hard, self-motivated, willing to devote yourself to the tide of building a new China, everyone has a chance to succeed!
But what else can you do besides participating in the imperial examination by studying the Four Books and the Five Classics? The Democratic League Army does not hold the imperial examination, to put it mildly, Mr. Private School has been eliminated by the general environment, even if he is willing to pull down his position to become a teacher for the government, he also needs to go through a lot of screening, many bad habits need to be eliminated, and the teaching method also needs to be in line with the reality of the peasants and the low-level civilians in the cities.
This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Feng hired opera fans to carry out literacy education, at least these women have no shelves, are approachable, and can teach people to read and write.
Under the rule of the Democratic League, most people's lives are becoming more and more prosperous, but there are also a few people who are becoming more and more impoverished, unable to keep up with the times and unwilling to change. You can't scold the government for money!
Although the Four Books and Five Classics are not taken seriously, Wang Feng is not against the Four Books and Five Classics, he is against science, and against the feudal dregs and servile education that have been imposed into Chinese culture since the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Ram Confucianism is the basis of Dong Zhongshu's theory of the unity of heaven and man, and has gradually depressed since the Wei and Jin dynasties, which is due to the fact that Ram Confucianism runs through the great unification, and the political righteousness such as rectifying the chaos and putting things right, and also contains the view of historical changes, that is, the famous Ram III said: According to the troubled times, the Shengping world and the Taiping world, the three cycles, continue to move forward, and the ram Confucianism focuses on Confucian righteousness, advocating the chaos and righteousness, and ruthlessly suppressing the chaotic ministers and thieves!
Since the Song Dynasty, with the establishment of a huge civil bureaucratic system, the ruling structure has gradually solidified, and static has become the norm of governing the country.
What is Heavenly Principles? On the surface, the emperor is the Son of Heaven and represents the will of heaven, that is, the principle of heaven, but the emperor's governance is inseparable from the civil official group, so the real heavenly principle is the civil official group, which is equivalent to putting a 10,000-year lock on the rule of the civil official group, and a shackle on the spirit of ordinary people, so as to maintain the firmness of the ruling structure!
Judging from the change of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties and the growing size of the civil official group, the success of science has been achieved, but it is precisely because of this success that the literati no longer know what loyalty and patriotism are, and they have replaced them with increasingly servile and servile people.
The little emperor of the Song Dynasty threw himself into the sea, and Lu Xiufu's generation was martyred, and Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself on the coal mountain, who else was martyred except an old eunuch?
And Ram Confucianism is about change, bloody and fierce, similar to fascism in Confucianism, how can it be liked by the rulers? Especially in the Qing Dynasty, strictly speaking, the Han officials who served the Qing court were all rebellious ministers and thieves, and they were all the objects of ruthless suppression and rectification, so it is not surprising that they were abandoned by the ruling class.
However, the progress of Ram Confucianism is obvious, especially to set things right, the subtle words and righteousness are exactly what the real society needs, and it is extremely important to condense national self-confidence and reshape morality and ethics.
Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, for ideals and beliefs, even if the sword and axe are added, the face does not change, the Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty, galloping through the border passes, the blue blood stains the yellow sand, the Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, leaning on the incense and cui, the merry and happy, the Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, forming a party for personal gain, and working against the emperor, to the Qing Dynasty Confucianism, finally evolved into a complete slave and lackey!
The trend of history clearly shows that the development of Confucianism is a declining channel, and the ethics and morality of the whole nation are also inferior to one day, recasting the soul of the nation, in addition to the need for one victory after another in the military, more importantly, it is also to set Confucianism in order, Wang Feng has already had the intention of erecting Confucianism as a benchmark.
It's just that this is a huge systematic project, and Wang Feng has no time to do it, and there are no famous Confucian scholars to help him do this kind of thing, so he can only put aside the Four Books and Five Classics for the time being, and instead use the excerpted warning sayings and classic examples to reluctantly use them as classical Chinese cultural education.
Although the literati who served in the government have gradually broken away from the category of traditional literati and displayed their ambitions with merit, it is impossible for them to take over the work of simplifying Chinese characters.
If you are given a salary that reaches the living standard of a moderately wealthy household, you have to do things, and it is not a general two-way job, it is to use people as cattle and horses, and when you get home from work, you are basically tired and don't want to move, and some self-motivated people have to use their spare time to learn scientific knowledge, how can they have time to simplify Chinese characters? To know, simplifying Chinese characters is not something that can be simplified by patting the head, it must conform to the law of evolution of Chinese characters, the basic elements of pictographic characters cannot be lost, and nearly 10,000 Chinese characters can make people's heads bigger!
The brother and sister looked at each other, although they had the heart to take it, they really couldn't spare it, so they could only suppress the impulse and throw an extremely sorry look at Wang Feng.
Wang Feng also has a headache, modern simplified Chinese characters can be used directly, but he feels that the simplification is too much, it is better to redo it, and even if he can make up and use it, the simplified and traditional comparisons of nearly 10,000 words are listed one by one, which is enough for him to drink a pot, for this kind of work that can only produce results by grinding kung fu, he does not have so much patience, and it is most appropriate to let others do it.
It's just that all the people with considerable writing skills have been entrusted with important tasks and can't spare time, such as Sheng Xuanhuai's father Sheng Kang, who was born in Jinshi, but was busy in the fields all day long, Sheng Long is also embarrassed to bother, after all, he is an old guy in his sixties and has limited energy, and cultured businessmen such as Suzhou Sifu are busy investing and prospering, and most of them will not take it, and it may be possible to force it, but Wang Feng is unwilling to owe them favors.
Who can do that?
Frowning and thinking for a while, Wang Feng tried to ask: "Sheng Xuanhuai, your younger brothers and sisters are all in Suzhou, how are you studying the Four Books and Five Classics?" How many words can you read? (To be continued......)
