The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the politics were very chaotic, the country was very chaotic, and the Han nation was very miserable, especially the Han people in the north were not as good as the slaves in the slave era.

During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a term appeared called "two-legged sheep", which is what the northern ethnic minorities used to describe the Han people, what does it mean?

It's sheep, what is sheep used for, it's to eat, the role of the Han people is this, and the most delicious nature is women, there are many roles, you know.

But just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the chaotic political situation brought about a prosperous culture, which is a great feature of Chinese culture, and the most prosperous period of culture is generally a period of war and national chaos.

For example, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, such as the Two Song Dynasty periods (the country was not really unified at this moment), such as the Republic of China period, were all prosperous times of culture.

Of course, there are some things that seem weird now, in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the most "weird" is the male style, some men in this era are like women, weak and can't help the wind, rouge and gouache all greet the face, and also make a broken back or something.

In addition, the two most dazzling pearls of this era are metaphysics and Buddhism.

Metaphysics is a fusion of Taoism and Confucianism in this era to produce a science, based on Taoist thought, pay attention to the unity of heaven and man, return to nature, such as the famous bamboo forest seven sages are one of the representatives, what naked going out and other things, in this era is not uncommon.

Because Taoism advocates an extremely individualistic school, they have a lot of egoistic remarks, such as the most famous sentence, "Pluck a hair and benefit the world, not for nothing".

It means that if you pluck a hair to save the world, he will not do it, he will not do things that harm others and benefit himself, but he will not do things that harm himself and benefit others, such as not wearing clothes, this internal simple logic is that he wears clothes to make others look comfortable, but he feels uncomfortable, so he does not wear them.

Of course, this idea was very bright at first, but then it slowly turned sour.

Taoism, China's native religion, was formed in this era, and Taoism and Taoism are very different, although they both respect Lao Tzu, and many Taoist celebrities appeared in this era, and various heavenly masters appeared in this era as if they didn't need money.

In order to improve martial arts, Chen Kan also studied Taoist teachings, and even apprenticed to Ge Hong, but later Chen Kan gave up, because Taoism pays attention to "neutrality and peace", which is contrary to Chen Kan's martial arts, and Chen Kan can only use it as a reference in the end.

But it's not that Chen Kan didn't harvest in this era, this era is a harvest season for Chen Kan, when Chen Kan passed on the martial arts and finally saw the results, tens of thousands of martial artists, with their wisdom to help Chen Kan to explore the martial arts, Ge Hong, Zhang Daoling, Dharma and a series of geniuses to explore the martial arts road that Chen Kan had never seen before, giving Chen Kan a huge inspiration.

The biggest winner of this era is not Taoism, but Buddhism, Buddhism entered the land of China in the Qin and Han dynasties, but it had little influence at that time, and the real blossoming and fruiting was in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.

This poem speaks of the grand scene of Buddhism.

When Chen Kan was studying, he couldn't figure out a question, and for this question, Chen Kan also visited Buddhist scholars and Buddhist monks in the real world, but he didn't get a very satisfactory answer from Chen Kan.

This question is how Buddhism spread in the land of China, and you must know that the mainstream thought of the land of China at this time was the family thought based on Confucianism.

Cao Cao was even able to cut his hair instead of his head, no matter what the purpose was, but this practice appeased the morale of the army, which shows the ancients' view of hair, but Buddhism requires shaving of hair.

There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is great, Buddhism must be abstained from seven emotions and six desires, can not marry a wife and have children, this is the biggest unfilial piety.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the second is the poor family and the elderly, not for Lu Shi, which means that the family is poor but does not go to be an official to eat Lu to support his parents, this is the second kind of unfilial piety, and Buddhism pays attention to monks, which is also contrary to it.

Such a foreign doctrine that violates the Confucian code of ethics is why Buddhism failed to spread in the Han Dynasty, but why did Buddhism sprout everywhere like a drug in the Northern and Southern Dynasties?

Chen Kan used his own personal experience to witness how a "crooked theory" gained a firm foothold and developed in a region with a very different culture, and simply talked about the plasticity of Buddhist theory itself, so that Buddhist theory could be attached to metaphysics, and at the same time, it carried out a localized reform, and finally stood on its feet.

Early Buddhism called Buddhism a branch of metaphysics, is a branch of metaphysics, Buddhism has a natural advantage in this point, this era of metaphysics is about "nothing", Buddhism has a more profound core, called "emptiness", "emptiness" is higher than "nothing" realm, through continuous debate, Buddhism has a firm foothold in theory.

As for those practices that go against Confucianism, the Buddhist monks are also wise, and they no longer compete on such trivial matters, but directly rise to the core viewpoint, comparing their own theories with those of Confucianism.

To put it simply, whether it is Buddhism or Confucianism, what we pay attention to is governing the country and leveling the world, we want to change the world, and our essence is actually the same, which is to benefit the people of the whole world.

This is completely different from Taoism, which is highly egoistic, but both Buddhism and Confucianism emphasize an altruism that sacrifices oneself for others.

In the most core place, Buddhism has a foothold, what shaving the head, not getting married, these are all to save the common people, for the sake of the big self, what is the sacrifice of the small self!

At the same time, some of the methods of communication similar to modern society are used to carry out rapid and crazy preaching, and open the door to the lower classes.

Not only that, Buddhism also took advantage of the frequent dynastic changes of this era to constantly find new and stable political support, and the Buddhist teachings were indeed good in appeasing people's hearts, which was recognized by the rulers and eventually developed.

After standing firm, it became its own faction, and so far the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism stood side by side, and some capable people with lofty ideals began to seek the possibility of the integration of these three religions.

This was accompanied by countless wars and chaos, and after the three religions stood side by side in the true sense, the land of China also ushered in the unification, and the time entered the Sui and Tang dynasties.

After the war, there was the prosperous era, which was a strange circle, and the Sui, like the Qin, ended in a short time, and then there was a prosperous dynasty comparable to the Han Dynasty - the Tang Dynasty.

By this time, it had been nearly four thousand years since Chen Kan came to this plane.
