Chapter 646: A Hundred Schools of Thought Contend
Mei Wending's expression was solemn: "The scholars of Europa, in arithmetic, geometry and physics, do have many things that are far superior to us. ”
In the early years, Mei Wending "discussed the Tao" with the preachers of Europa, and had a very intuitive understanding of the achievements of the scholars of Europa in arithmetic, geometry and physics.
He straightened his back, looked at Kangxi with blazing eyes, and asked: "The emperor has built a Gewu Academy in recent years, and vigorously supports miscellaneous studies other than Confucianism, I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”
Since Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism from a hundred schools, all dynasties have taken Confucianism as the foundation of governing the country, and the other three religions and nine streams have not been recognized by the rulers.
However, in recent years, Kangxi has specially built a Gewu Academy, parallel to Guozijian, when the Gewu Academy was established, it caused a sensation in the world's academic circles, and was strongly opposed by many Confucian scholars, as for other schools, they were naturally rejoicing.
It's just that the time since the establishment of the Gewuyuan is still short, and other schools have been suppressed by Confucianism for more than a thousand years, and it is impossible to catch up with Confucianism in the short term.
Mei Wending wanted to know what Kangxi wanted to do when he supported other schools.
Kangxi's face was solemn, and Emperor Wa Niangniang dreamed and passed down the divine book, this matter was firmly buried in the depths of his heart, not to let anyone know, only when he decided to pass on the throne, he would pass this matter to his heirs together with the "Modern History of China".
As for the others, they are absolutely not allowed to know!
Kangxi pondered for a moment and said: "All along, the dynasties of the Central Plains have armed our minds with Confucian doctrines, however, they have neglected our hands. I feel that the ideal state is to arm our minds with Confucian doctrines, arm our bodies with other doctrines, and change the world. ”
"The Ministry of Rites needs Confucianism, the Ministry of War needs the doctrine of soldiers, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs needs the doctrine of Legalism, the Ministry of Industry needs the doctrine of Mohists, the Ministry of Feng Shui needs the Yin and Yang Doctrine, and the diplomacy needs the Vertical and Horizontal Doctrine...... Every school of doctrine has its advantages and disadvantages, and no one can completely replace the other. ”
Mei Wending was so excited that his face flushed and trembled, he suddenly stood up and said impassionedly: "A hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom, if it can really be realized at the moment, then the land of China will inevitably burst into vigorous vitality again, collide with more good ideas, and lead our Chinese civilization to another peak!" ”
He knelt down on the spot, and the old tears were full of tears: "Grass people, I am willing to sacrifice my little work for this prosperous era of China." ”
Mei Wending claimed to be a Confucian disciple, but his central idea was more Mohist and practical.
Kangxi was willing to give the hundred schools of thought a chance, and Mei Wending instantly let go of the prejudice against foreign races in his heart and was completely convinced.
"Spring and Autumn" has clouds: Yi Di into China, then China, China into Yi Di, then Yi Di.
Since Kangxi is willing to promote the collision and integration of the hundred schools of thought again, it will make a great contribution to the promotion and inheritance of the Central Plains civilization.
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: "Okay! Good! Good! Mei Aiqing's willingness to go out is the blessing of the Qing Dynasty and the blessing of all the people! I appointed Mei Aiqing as the sacrificial wine of the Gewu Academy, and was fully responsible for the academic research and teaching work of the Gewu Academy. ”
Gewuyuan sacrificial wine, from the three products, Kangxi immediately appointed Mei Wending as the highest governor of Gewuyuan, which shows his importance to Mei Wending.
Kangxi is really happy, the Mei family is recognized as a cultural family with the longest history, the clearest lineage, and the most historical celebrities, and its influence among the Han people is very great.
Mei Wending is the most famous one of the Mei family, and his reputation among the Han people is very large, and his appearance will definitely crack down on those dissident people who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, which will be of great help to the Qing Dynasty to win over the hearts of the Han people.
Mei Wending felt Kangxi's trust and was also very excited: "Weichen must do his best and die!" ”
In the evening, Brother Jiu told Fusuni about the daytime, and Fusuni was shocked: "Khan Ama really said that he wanted to make a hundred schools of thought contend?" ”
"It's true."
Fu Suni was suddenly so excited that she couldn't help herself, two lines of tears flowed down, and she was so panicked that Brother Jiu hurriedly hugged her and asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Fusuni choked up and said, "The concubine is happy." ”
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended and collided with a splendid and colorful Chinese civilization, far surpassing other nations in the world.
However, in the Han Dynasty, because of Dong Zhongshu's deposition of Confucianism, the Confucian family became dominant, and slowly lost its sense of urgency and enterprising, and fell step by step. Other doctrines were suppressed by Confucianism and the imperial court, and it was difficult to develop.
For more than 1,000 years, Chinese civilization has slowly dried up and lost its original vitality.
Now, Fu Suni actually heard that Kangxi wanted to support the other sons and guide the hundred schools of thought to contend, how could she not be ecstatic?
If the Qing Dynasty can break out again and its culture blooms again, it is not only expected to catch up with the countries of Europa that are already ahead, but also hope to far surpass them!
How could Fusuni not cry with joy?
It's the first time I've heard such a statement, and it's very fresh: "Fu'er is saying that once again a hundred schools of thought will be able to multiply the cultural heritage of the Qing Dynasty?" Can the Qing Dynasty go to the forefront of the world? ”
"That's nature! Flourishing alone is not spring, Confucianism, should have been driven off the altar a long time ago! ”
Since Cheng Zhu Lixue became popular, Confucianism has embarked on a wrong path, only knowing empty talk and not doing practical things, and those who care about it every day can govern the country well?
Brother Jiu blinked: "Fu'er seems to have a big opinion on Confucianism?" ”
Fusuni said: "The concubine has no opinion on Confucianism, but on Confucianism that is now misinterpreted by people. The Confucian sages advocated that there must be a teacher for the threesome, and those who choose the good ones should follow them, and the bad ones should be changed. ”
"And now, the Confucian people think that the eldest of heaven is the second of his own, and any other school of thought is not taken into account, and he only knows how to ponder the words of the sages all day long, but he cannot keep pace with the times to put forward his own ideas and opinions, so Confucianism can no longer be called Confucianism, just a group of deceitful people who steal their name in the cloak of Confucianism!"
"Look, Confucianism, if it can't exchange its own blood, sooner or later it will decline!"
Facts have proved that the development of science and technology has swept Confucianism into the pile of old papers and experienced decades of decline. Later, it was the government that promoted traditional culture, and Confucianism still did not flourish.
Fusuni also hopes that Confucianism can absorb the nutrients of each school in this controversy, improve its own doctrine, and not follow the old path of history.
