Chapter 1035: The Dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, Educating the People
"What is religion?"
"Actually, I'm Dawu, and I've had a "religion" in China since ancient times."
"At that time, it was a primitive religion, also known as a tribal religion, and in ancient times, people had all kinds of worship of elves, totems, gods, nature, etc., superstitious ghosts and gods, this is the most primitive religion."
Qingji looked around, looked at Yin Xi, Nan Rong, and Lie Yukou present, and said earnestly: "Zoroastrianism is the state religion of the Persians, and Brahmanism is the state religion of the Aryans and Dravidians."
"And I, Great Wu, belong to the "polytheistic religion", and the beliefs of the Wu people have not yet been integrated."
"Compared with superstitious ghosts and gods, I, the Wu people, believe in our ancestors more."
"However, it is undeniable that it is indeed necessary to control people's minds and unify their beliefs by means of sectarianism."
Zoroastrianism and Brahmanism are actually sects created by the Aryans.
The Aryans were originally an ancient nomadic people in the steppes of the southern Ural Mountains, who later migrated to the plains between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers in Central Asia.
These people were known as the "Aryan Punjabi", and around the 14th century BC, the Aryan Punjabs moved south into the northwestern part of the subcontinent.
They expelled the Dravidians south, created a Vedic culture and established a caste system.
The Aryans destroyed three of the four great civilizations: ancient Babylon, ancient India, and ancient Egypt.
Originally, Huaxia also suffered from the invasion of the Aryans during the Shang Dynasty, but fortunately it was defeated by the Shang Dynasty's female goddess of war, and many prisoners of war of the Aryan army became slaves, and finally became "burial goods......
After thinking for a long time, Yin Xi said to Qingji, "Your Majesty, if you want to establish a sect, the minister thinks that there must be a book to facilitate the exposition of the doctrine of the sect and to educate the world."
"Good."
Qingji also thinks so.
The doctrine of a denomination is actually equivalent to the doctrine of a denomination, that is, the central idea.
Core Values!
Qingji had the intention of establishing a sect as the state religion of Great Wu.
But, here's the problem.
Which doctrine is predominant?
With thousands of years of Chinese history, there have also been local sects in history-
Taoism!
Confucianism is barely one.
Should Qingji establish Taoism as the state religion or Confucianism as the state religion?
This is a question worth pondering.
The matter was big, and Qing Ji did not make a rash decision, but put this matter on the court and discussed it with the ministers and officials.
……
The next day, Qingji held a great court meeting in the Fengtian Temple, and all the ministers and officials with a rank of more than 600 stone in the court must be present to participate.
After learning that Qingji was going to set up a sect as the state religion of Great Wu, the ministers also discussed it like a frying pot.
They did not want to admonish Qingji to dispel this idea, but they were hesitating about what position he was in, which was more appropriate......
As we all know, thanks to the Qingji Daxing culture, the academic prosperity of Dawu, and the various theories of the hundreds of schools of thought are mixed together, which is a situation of "a hundred schools of thought contending".
There are five major scholars in Dawu, namely Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Bingjia, and Famous Scholars.
Among them, there are two suitable to be established as "state religions", one is Confucianism and the other is Taoism.
Because their doctrine and ideas coincide with the teachings of the sect in some places.
In fact, among the millions of scholars in the Great Wu, there are still the most people from the three families of Confucianism, Taoism, and Law.
When Qingji proposed to choose the idea of a school as the doctrine of the new state religion, the ministers all spoke one after another.
"Your Majesty!"
Confucius's protégé once pointed out with a tooth wat in his hand and said, "The minister thinks that it is most appropriate to use Confucianism as the basic doctrine of my Great Wu State Religion."
"Your Majesty should establish "Confucianism", based on the five religions and rituals of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties.
Wenwu, with the Son of Heaven as the religious leader, the Duke of Zhou and Confucius as the ancestors, and the Shinto religion in the Spring and Autumn Period of poetry, books, rituals, and music."
"The ancient business contract can be combined with the five religions to protect the people."
"Shun lifts the eight Kai, so that the Lord will return to the soil, and in order to make a hundred things, there is no time to do it."
"Raise eight yuan, so that the five teachings of the cloth are in the four directions, father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother's friend, brother's respect, son's filial piety, and internal peace and external success."
"Gao Tao Xing Five Religions, Five Rites, Five Punishments, Nine Virtues, and Nine Clans. Therefore, "Shangshu Gao Taomo" said: "Heavenly rank is polite, and self-five etiquette is mediocre"!"
"Your Majesty, it is most appropriate to establish Confucianism on the basis of Confucianism to educate all people!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"What Zeng Zi said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!"
Zeng Shen, Fan Chi, Bu Zixia, Zigong and other ministers from the Confucian school all seconded the proposal, asking Qingji to establish "Confucianism" as the state religion of Great Wu.
However, Qingji has not yet made up his mind.
This time, the minister who opposed the Confucian minister was none other than the minister from the Taoist school.
Although most Taoist people are interested in fame and fortune, they are not willing to be short of Confucianism.
Nan Rong got up first and said, "Zengzi's words are wrong."
"Compared with the doctrine of Confucianism, the doctrine of Taoism is more suitable as the basic doctrine of the state religion."
"Why?"
"Since the former King Zhou Ping moved eastward, the education has declined, the discipline has been swept away, the Tao has been subjected to Lingyi, the law has been corrupted, and the etiquette has changed.
"There is such a difference in etiquette, the monarch and the minister are not mixed, and since modern times, the sacred learning has gradually declined."
"What good is it to establish this Confucianism?"
As soon as he heard this, Zeng Dian's face couldn't help but sink, and he retorted, "What Lord Nan said, is also a fallacy!"
"Confucianism is close and easy to see, so there are many sects. The meaning of the Tao is far away and difficult to know, so there are few people who reach it."
"The Taoist, the source of all differences. Confucianism, the likes of Dachun."
"In the past of the Three Emperors, Daozhi also. Since the emperor, Confucianism has also been!"
"The doctrine of Taoism is mysterious and mysterious, often moaning without disease, teaching people obscure and difficult to understand, how can it educate all people?"
"Confucianism is the fundamental way to educate the people!"
In this way, the Confucian ministers and Taoist ministers above the court began to fight each other, and the opinions became different.
It's really fair to say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable.
Nan Rong, Yin Xi, Lie Yukou and others believed that "Taoism" should be established as the state religion on the basis of Taoist doctrine.
"Your Majesty, the Tao is also the Tao, but the Tao is also the Tao, and it is not the constant Tao. The name can be named, and the name is not constant."
Yin Xi followed, "The Tao is the origin of all things in heaven and earth, and all things in the universe, yin and yang, and all things in Vientiane are born from the Tao."
"Virtue is "gain", and the Tao is embodied in people and all things, which is virtue."
"People and all things are born of the Tao and are educated by virtue, so the Tao should be honored."
"The Tao can be cultivated, and if you attain the Tao, you can become an immortal."
"Taoist people treat secular life with a pure and inaction, non-contentious attitude, practice in the spirit of "my life is in my absence", and through various Taoist cultivation, they can become immortal immortals through various Taoist cultivation and unity with the Tao...... a>vas>div> scan the code to download the red sleeves and Xiaoxiang to send welfare newcomers to read div>div>div > for free for a limited time
