"Cure the heart!"

"Healing the mind?"

"Cure the heart!" The shopkeeper looked at Confucius and said affirmatively.

"How to cure the heart?" Confucius looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"Lao Tzu said! You shouldn't teach others how to obey the weekly etiquette, the weekly system, etc., I've told you many times tonight, haven't I? What is the weekly ritual and weekly system? What is benevolence, righteousness, and pleasure? Aren't they all the things that the Zhou Dynasty made up? It only meets the needs of governing society and the world at that time, you know? It is the east and east of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is epochal, you know?

I've told you a lot tonight, haven't I? Do you understand the origin of the country? These things were created by the state to manage the needs of the society at that time, and he has a certain sense of the times, you know? If you're still dogmatic? You can look up the historical data, huh? Each dynasty had its own laws, and neither laws nor social norms were set in stone! Do you understand?

Just like folklore, one folk custom in one place, and the folk customs in different places are different. Do you know what I mean? So! Is it wrong for you to blindly deny yourself?

Don't argue with me! Don't learn from your student Min Ziqian. Do you want to tell me the dogma that there is still something desirable in the weekly rites and the weekly system, right? Then I'll tell you! There is definitely something to be desired! So! We are to inherit selectively. Take the essence and get rid of the dross! The change of dynasties is not the abolition of everything in the past, is it? But there's one! is never abolished: that is! Guarantee the people's right to life!

Where do kings and hereditary nobles collect taxes when a country has no people? Without taxes, why would kings and hereditary nobles live in luxury? Isn't it?

So! Even if he is a tyrant, he will not kill the good people and obey the people! They are to preserve the human race and serve their luxurious life.

These are the things that govern the world, the basic things that govern society, and they are the symptoms rather than the root causes! Cure! In fact, it is to cure the heart! So? How to cure the heart?

Lao Tzu said! It's easy to cure the heart! In fact! It is to tell the world: How did man come to be? What do people live for? What do people live for? It's as simple as that, if you explain this problem clearly to everyone, you will achieve the goal of curing the mind. If you don't explain it clearly, you won't be able to achieve the goal of curing the mind!

I heard Mr. Zhang Shanfeng say! When you were in Luoyi, Lao Tzu also gave you a cure. Unfortunately! You didn't take it! So! Didn't achieve the goal of curing the heart!

I heard Mr. Zhang Shanfeng say! Mr. may have heard Lao Tzu say that you don't recognize that man is created by heaven and earth. Do you think that man, like all things, was created by the gods!

Good! I'm telling you explicit now! If you don't change this perception! You will never be able to save the world. Your doctrine and theory are just a fraction of a millimeter short, and you are a thousand miles away. ”

"It's that simple?" Confucius asked in disbelief: "Just tell the world: How did man come to be?" What do people live for? What do people live for? It's as simple as that? ”

"It's that simple!"

"Then I know how to do it!" Confucius nodded thoughtfully and said.

"Do you know how?" The shopkeeper asked.

"You're not going to be stuck on that theory of yours, are you? It's still the same sentence! If you don't understand the origin of people, why people live and what they live for, you must interpret them according to the theories you set, and you can't cure the mind. Opposite! It will only get more and more chaotic! ”

"No, it won't! No, it won't! Confucius waved his hand again and again.

"How could it not! What is your theory? The theory of completely treating others as fools, I have convinced you! ……”

Confucius interrupted: "Which of my theories are theories that treat others as fools? Tell me? ”

"Oh! Are you still not convinced? If you don't accept it, I'll testify it! ”

"Correct it! I correct! ”

"Good! You're good with that attitude! I appreciate! The shopkeeper said. That being the case! Then I'll start with the funeral vigil! Don't you think you're going too far? ”

"What's wrong with me?" Confucius asked unconvinced.

"I've heard people! You set how long the mourning must be, don't you? Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes!"

"You admit it, don't you? Don't you think you're lenient? ”

"Am I lenient?"

"Don't you think how long it means to a person? Have you taken into account the living conditions of the people of the world? For whom do you set the time for the funeral? Is it for the people of the world and the people of the world? If you make it for the people of the world, do you take into account the sufferings of the people? They can't survive anymore, and they have to insist on mourning in order to abide by your Kongqiu's rules, do you think you have any brains? ”

"Me?" Confucius argued: "I have shortened the mourning period a lot, much shorter than the one in the weekly ceremony!" ”

"You brought Zhou Li out again?" The shopkeeper sneered.

"A lot of the things in the Zhou rites are outdated and pedantic, don't you think? What was the state of society at the time of the weekly rites? What is the current situation? Have you ever thought about it? At the time of the Zhou ceremony, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in a period of peaceful development, and people's lives were not worried, and they did not worry about food. And now! People are living in dire straits! Can you still copy the old system? Copying the weekly rites? ”

"So what? You can't say that there is no mourning period, right? Confucius spread his hands and asked.

"You should set a flexible time! For example! If living conditions allow, it can be three or five years. If living conditions do not allow, it can be a year or half a year, or even shorter! ……”

Confucius interrupted: "If the mourning period is too short, people will not have compassion and will soon forget the kindness of their fathers and elders." The longer the mourning period, the more the world will remember, and the longer the memory, the more it will remember! ……”

"Look! You see! You're taking people for fools again, aren't you? The shopkeeper interrupted.

"How can I take others for fools again? I? Confucius looked at the shopkeeper very wrongedly and asked.

"Lao Tzu said! As children, they will remember the kindness of their parents and elders. Because! We grew up under the love of our parents and elders since we were children, how can we forget? And also! Perhaps we have become fathers and mothers, and we also have our own children, and we also know how to love our children and future generations. Isn't it? Does this need to be taught?

Let's not say we're human anymore! Even animals have maternal love. Animals have just given birth to little animals, and they will fight to protect them, won't they? How much more about us? Isn't it? The same goes for birds! After the birds have been hatched hard, they have to be fed by themselves. Does this also need you to teach? So! Those rules of yours are all about treating others as fools. Are you not convinced? ”
