In the Zhou Tibetan room, the debate between Confucius and Lao Tzu continues.

With the IQ of Confucius, after listening to Lao Tzu's preaching, he naturally understood. His comprehension ability should surpass that of Prince Ji Chao and Little Prince Ji Kuo. The little prince Ji Kuo, who is now the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Ji Kuo was still young, and there were some truths that he couldn't understand.

Prince Ji Dynasty and the current Great Zhou Tianzi, they only listened to Lao Tzu's sermon once and understood on the spot. Prince Ji Chao stood up at that time to find fault with Lao Tzu and deliberately misinterpreted. In order to pretend to be compared, the little prince Ji Kuo did not pass until the end. Only the crown prince at that time, Ji Meng, was eager to express himself.

Lao Tzu's Taoism is actually not so difficult to understand, the key is! You have to accept it, accept what the Tao is. If you don't want to accept it, you will never understand.

With Confucius's IQ, he naturally understood it very quickly. Let alone! Lao Tzu preached to him and used some means, which can be regarded as provoking him and making him have an epiphany. Outcome! Confucius did not have an "epiphany", on the contrary! And disgust. felt that Lao Tzu was suppressing the juniors by the elders, deliberately bullying him, and he also had a resistance mentality.

Afterward! Lao Tzu used means again, so that he thoroughly understood the Taoist doctrine.

But? Let Lao Tzu be disappointed and even hopeless: Confucius was an idealist, did not accept materialist dialectics, did not accept Taoism. No! It's not that you don't accept Taoism! He fully understood Lao Tzu's Taoism and also understood the essence of Lao Tzu's Taoism. But he did not think that the Tao was materialistic, but that the Tao was created by the gods......

"I see! The world is all about survival! Ensuring the survival of the world is the only way to save the world! ......" Confucius said.

After arguing with Lao Tzu about materialism and idealism, Lao Tzu didn't want to say any more. There was no way, Confucius took the initiative and told his learning experience.

Lao Tzu saw that Confucius insisted that all things in heaven and earth were created by the gods, so he didn't bother to waste any more saliva.

The Tao is different, not the same!

Different points of view have different ways of dealing with the world and dealing with them.

But! Everything is the same! Whether it is materialism or idealism, if you violate the principle of survival, your academic viewpoint, your thinking will be problematic, it will not be accepted by the world, and it will not be the correct way to save the people in the world.

After listening to Lao Tzu's Taoist theory and Lao Tzu's method of "saving the world", Confucius also had his own insights.

Different points of view will have different starting points, and the methods of dealing with them will naturally be different. But! The purpose is the same, they are all to save the world!

Different means to the same end! That's what it means!

Confucius thought about it and thought that it was the same thing: the Great Zhou Dynasty and the previous dynasties were all like this! Because of the protection of the interests of the people, the safety of the people's lives, and the protection of the people's right to subsistence, the old system was overthrown and a new dynasty was established. When the survival of the people cannot be guaranteed, the dynasty will be overthrown.

When the management is perfect, the country and the dynasty will reach its heyday.

Since it is to ensure the survival of the people, it is not necessary to follow Lao Tzu's set, reorganize the old rivers and mountains, and govern the country well according to the system of the Zhou Dynasty. Because! The weekly system is visible! According to this system, the Zhou Dynasty also had a peak moment.

At the height of the Zhou Dynasty, there was a record of overcrowding, and the population reached the point where there was no arable land to cultivate.

In reality, the population is not very large. At the height of the Zhou Dynasty, the population was only 10 million. Why is the historical record of "overcrowding"?

Because! At that time, the arable area was very limited.

At that time, the water conservancy was not repaired, and there was a lot of arable land that could not be cultivated. When the flood came, it became an ocean. When the flood waters receded, one crop could be cultivated.

So! During the Zhou Dynasty, there was very little arable area, only mountainous land. Over-cultivation of mountainous areas has led to soil erosion.

One more article! Because of low productivity, the yield per mu is very low. Unlike modern land, not to mention the improvement of agricultural technology, and the use of chemical fertilizers, the yield is very high. At that time, the yield was very low. So! When the population increases, it becomes a burden on the state.

The land area of a country can only carry so many people, and there can be no more, and there will be more people who cannot live.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. Mr.'s set of Taoist theories seriously violates today's social system! Sir, this is advocating personal thoughts, sir, this is breaking the whole into parts and disintegrating the country! ……”

"Me? Why am I ......?"

"Sir, mean! Let the world realize that society and the country are composed of individuals, isn't it? I already understand what Mr. means! What Mr. means: let the world realize this, and then! Combine again! ……”

"Yes! Yes, too! ”

"But? And how many people can be combined? Isn't it? Mr? Furthermore! How can the princes and kings, including the emperor of the Great Zhou, tolerate it? Let you preach Taoism and disintegrate society and the country first. What if you can't put it together? What to do? Won't the country be disintegrated by you?

And also! Confucius said it before! The princes, kings, and all the hereditary nobles of the world, let them give up their present happy life, who of them will? Who wants to live a hard life?

Albeit? Mr. said! Life is just a life process, though! Mr. said! Eating too much and eating taste has no effect, the human body only needs so many nutrients a day, but let them give up, don't eat taste, don't eat so much, don't eat so well, let them coarse tea and light rice, can they accept it?

So! I don't think Sir's Taoism will work!

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. The princes and kings did not accept it, the hereditary nobles did not accept it, the Great Zhou Tianzi did not accept it, and they only accepted it to the commoners living in the lower levels, what could they do? Can they overthrow this world and overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty? What princes and kings can't do, they can't rule the world, so what can the commoners do?

Let alone? The current Great Zhou Dynasty is still the Son of Heaven on the surface. Although it is no longer the Great Zhou Dynasty of the Son of Heaven, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been divided among the princes and kings. But? Who can overthrow it? Who can manage and govern the world according to the Taoist theory of Mr.?

So! I think! Sir's Taoist theory is empty talk, but it is a good wish......"

"You?" Lao Tzu settled down and asked, "Then what do you say?" What if you were asked to govern society and the world? ”

"Carry out the weekly ceremony!"

"Carry out the weekly ceremony?" Lao Tzu laughed angrily.

After tossing for a long time, this guy still developed on Zhou Li.

"If you want to govern the country well, you must implement the weekly rites and implement the etiquette system! Be polite to everyone......"

Lao Tzu interrupted: "Can you restore the weekly etiquette and etiquette system?" You? Aren't you the same fool as dreaming? ”

"I can't guarantee that the weekly etiquette and etiquette system will be restored, but! I can vouch for myself! ……”

"How do you guarantee yourself? How do you do that? ”

"I pledge that I personally observe the weekly etiquette and abide by the etiquette system. Or is that sentence, take me as an example, drive the people around you, everyone abides by the weekly etiquette and etiquette system, and everyone in the world abides by it, how can the society not be governed? ”

"You're not? Bitter yourself? Lao Tzu asked.

"Mr. Yi's Taoism is to liberate everyone and save themselves, that is selfishness! That's not socially responsible! ……”

Hear it here! Lao Tzu didn't say anything more, stood up, ignored Confucius, and walked outside the Zhou Tibetan room.

At this time, it was already very dark in the Zhou storage room. Only the faint light from the windows came in, and! The faint light of the tinder oil lamp in the Zhouzang room.

The tinder oil lamp refers to the oil lamp that is not blown out during the day, and it is a permanent lamp, which is convenient for making fire at night.

Lao Tzu was kind enough to save him, and didn't let him suffer himself in order to cater to social management, as a result! But Confucius said that he "has no sense of social responsibility". That being the case! What else is there to say?

If you want to suffer yourself, you can suffer yourself!

But! You don't want to pull someone else to make a back for you!

If you pull someone else as a back, you are not saving society, you are cheating people!
