"Pause! Time out! Time out! ”

Fang Jishi hurriedly put one hand flat and the other hand stood up, and made a "pause" gesture.

"This is a matter of protecting saints! Don't mention it again! That's not what I intended! ”

Seeing Fang Jishi's "urgent mention of it again", Lao Tzu didn't say any more, and looked straight with his eyes. He still doesn't believe it, it's just such a coincidence? There must be something deep in this.

Everything in heaven and earth is not put together for no reason, but for a reason.

"Although he is a future saint, he is still a teenager who has just come of age. He still calls me 'Uncle'! Do I protect him for preaching? How can it be? Now he still treats me as a teacher and respects me. I'm just going to be his guard, and he won't want to! Isn't it? ”

Seeing that Lao Tzu was about to speak again, Fang Jishi hurriedly made a "pause" gesture.

"Pause! Time out! ”

"What's it called? It's called coming from behind! If you don't accept it, you have to accept it! ”

"How do you call the last?"

"He's still a teenager who has just come of age, and he hasn't achieved anything yet, but in a few years, he's surpassed you, hasn't he? Otherwise? How did he become a saint? Isn't it? ”

"That's just as well!" Fang Jishi had to nod in acknowledgement.

Lao Tzu said: "He now calls you uncle, respects you as a teacher, and learns from you." That's not to say he's inferior to you! Isn't it? Because! He's young, huh? He's still learning, huh? Isn't it? Isn't that what it means that humility makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind? ”

"That's just as well!"

"You are now his teacher, and he respects you as a teacher and uncle, and that's because ......"

"Because of what?"

"Because you are old, you have seen a lot, and you have lived for more than ten years......"

"Why am I getting older? I? I'm not saying it, I'm more than 2,000 years later, I'm here in time. He was more than 2,000 years ago, and he was older than me, huh? ”

"Wrong!" Lao Tzu corrected: "You are older than him!" ”

"How can I be bigger than him? I? I'm younger than you, am I? I? ”

Lao Tzu said seriously: "Why not? Think about it? Not only are you bigger than him, you're bigger than me! ”

"This, this, this? How come I'm older than you again? Fang Jishi was even more puzzled.

Lao Tzu explained: "Think about it? Isn't that the truth? He! Didn't you say he's eighteen years old? Isn't it? ”

"yes?"

"And you? How old are you this year? ”

"I'm less than thirty years old this Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"Isn't that?" Lao Tzu explained: "Aren't you obviously ten years older than him, aren't you?" ”

"yes?" Fang Jishi defended: "But you were born more than 2,000 years before me? According to this algorithm, you are more than 2,000 years older than me! ”

"Wrong!" Lao Tzu corrected: "It is precisely because you were born more than two thousand years later than us, so! You're bigger than us! ”

"This, this, this? What is the rationale for this? Fang Jishi was even more puzzled.

Lao Tzu explained: "Because you have inherited the memory of more than 2,000 years! Not only have you inherited our previous memories, but memory is knowledge. You have also passed on the memories of more than 2,000 years after our death, and memory is knowledge! You said? Are you big or are we big? ”

"This, this, this? Mr. Lao Tzu, you? You? You are sophistry! ”

"But what! He's coming from behind! He surpassed us! Isn't it? Didn't you say? His Confucianism surpassed my Taoist doctrine, and it was quite influential? Isn't it? ”

"It's true!" Fang Jishi had to be convinced again.

"That's right! Because you are convinced in your heart, so! You have only traveled from more than 2,000 years later to more than 2,000 years ago, and you have come to protect the saints......"

"Pause! Time out! Time out! Fang Jishi had to make another pause gesture to stop Lao Tzu from talking further.

Lao Tzu showed a strange smile and asked, "Then let me ask for advice?" What kind of thought is this Confucianism? So powerful? Can you introduce us? ”

"This?" Fang Jishi's face was embarrassed, he really couldn't say.

"You can't even name a cultural thought that has influenced you?" Lao Tzu was suddenly a little confused. "If Confucianism is so widespread, how can you not say it? Is that how you feel? ”

"Me? I didn't study philosophy, I didn't study sociology? I? ”

Under Lao Tzu's torture, Fang Jishi really couldn't answer.

"Just give me a rough idea! Know what to say? ”

"When the prince finishes watching the science and education film, I will show it to you on Baidu. You made me say I really can't tell. Most of the people who interpret Confucianism in contemporary China are professors who eat the national meal. In fact! It's all nonsense, and it can't be famous. So! It's good that they don't interpret what Confucian culture is, but the more they interpret it, the more confused we are.

But? My understanding is this, that is, everything should be about rules, weekly etiquette, acting according to weekly etiquette, being trustworthy, honoring parents and elders, being friendly to others, leading by example, dying before oneself, and sacrificing oneself for others......"

"Wait! Wait a minute! Lao Tzu interrupted: "What I said earlier is correct, but what I said later is to deceive fools." What is the lead? Why should you die and sacrifice yourself for others? Isn't this teasing you idiot? ”

"You, you, you?" Fang Jishi interrupted: "Don't you say that, it's not good to say this, wouldn't society be chaotic if you don't do this?" We must sing the main theme, listen to the party, and follow the leaders......"

"Gotta get it!" Lao Tzu interrupted: "If Zhou Li can still work, is society still so chaotic?" What about the weekly gift? Do you still believe in that old thing? Etiquette is needed, and regulating people's behavior is conducive to social harmony, but it should be more from the perspective of people......"

"Confucianism is from the perspective of people, from the perspective of society and national interests......"

"It is necessary to stand from the perspective of people, from the perspective of individual people, not from the interests of society and the country. Society and the state are a combination of people, and the existence of society and the state arises because of the need to protect people. People are big, countries are small......"

"I don't understand these truths! Me, me, me? I'm not a philosopher! I'm not studying sociology, I don't understand! ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you'll understand as soon as I explain it."

"You don't want me to explain Confucianism, do you? Oh! I remember! That's Confucius! Later, I came to you and asked you! Don't worry, tell him later! Good no good? I've heard that too! That's right! There's movement on the prince's side, let's go and see, is the prince full? ”

"Someone! Someone! Save me! Save me! ”

On the other side of the prince's bedroom, the prince's weak cry was heard.

"I'm weak, I'm hungry! I want to eat! I? I? Am I going to die? I? ”

The prince groaned feebly like a dying patient.
