Chapter 508: The Dispute between Confucianism and Ink
"When did Confucianism and Mohism fight again?" Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru and Touch Dragon beside him, and said strangely.
"......" The two were stunned for a moment, and said speechlessly, "Confucianism and the Mohists have been fighting for hundreds of years...... It never stopped, so why did the king say 'again'? ”
"......" this time it was Zhao Kuo's turn to be stunned, "Is it the Yang Zhu school that has been fighting with the Mo family for hundreds of years?" ”
"The king is right, the Yang Zhu school and the Mo family have been fighting for a long time, but the real enemy of the Mo family has always been Confucianism, not Yang Zhu." Lin Xiangru said.
It turned out that although the Yang Zhu School was at its peak and the Mo family divided the world, everyone understood that the Yang Zhu School could not become a climate.
The reason is very simple, the Yang Zhu school pays attention to 'for oneself', everyone is for oneself, who will be for the public? If there is no one for the public, how can the country play?
Under the joint suppression of the rulers of various countries, the Yang Zhu school did not have a long history and went downhill.
This is survival of the fittest.
Now that there is only one line of the Yang Zhu School still inherited, Zhao Kuo just wants the idea of this line not to be broken, as for carrying it forward, it is impossible.
He can retain the brilliant ideas of Huaxia, but he can't dig into his own corners.
"What about the Mohists and Confucianism?" Zhao Kuo asked.
On the trail of Handan College, Lin Xiangru talked about the grievances between Confucianism and the Mo family.
It turned out that Mozi was a disciple of Confucianism, and when he was young, he used to study Confucianism and learn Confucius's Confucianism.
However, Mozi is different from most people, not only did he not identify with Confucianism, but the more he studied, the more he had an idea: what did Lao Tzu learn!
When the parents die, the son doesn't do anything, and he has to keep filial piety for three years?
The bullshit etiquette system, the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, nonsense, why is Lao Tzu born inferior?
And playing music, which is something that normal people can play? At that time, you plough two acres of land and work on two documents, which is better than listening to those noisy things.
Confucianism, don't learn!
So Mozi dropped out of school with honor.
If this is an ordinary person, he will drop out of school, but who is Mozi, I not only want to drop out, but also engage in a more advanced ideology than Confucianism.
As a result, Mozi founded the Mojia family and promulgated the four major crimes of Confucianism.
One, non-ghosts. Confucianism does not respect ghosts and gods, and if ghosts and gods are not happy, they will bring disasters to the world.
Second, thick burial and long burial. When people die, they are buried with countless gold and silver treasures, extravagance and waste, and their homes are emptied, how can the living live? What's more, they sell their bodies to bury their fathers and sell their bodies to bury their mothers. I have to keep filial piety for three years, wasting time in vain.
Three, the Mandate of Heaven. Confucianism believes that birth, old age, sickness, death, rich and poor are predestined, and denies the meaning of struggle.
Fourth, for fun. In vain, the wealth of society is wasted, and it is "a decoration of rituals and pleasures to adulterers." ”
Then, the Mohists also put forward ten ideas to deal with the Confucian 'benevolence' and 'propriety', which are 'contemporary', 'non-attack', 'Tianzhi', 'Ming ghost', 'Shangxian', 'Shangtong', 'non-life', 'non-music', 'thrift use', and 'festival funeral'.
Confucius believed that "you don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine." "Mozi 'measured his stomach and ate and dressed himself.'
Confucius believed that everyone should strive to be a 'gentleman', and Mozi called himself a 'slut'. ’
Confucius believed that "the king makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal." "Three years without changing the way of the father, can be described as filial piety. "Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, even if the king and father do not love you, the minister or the son must love them unconditionally.
Mozi believes that all people are created equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone should care for each other.
Confucius believed that "worship ghosts and gods and stay away," and "the farther away from ghosts and gods, the better."
Mozi not only believed in ghosts and gods, but also believed that if a person did good deeds, ghosts and gods would reward him, and if a person did bad deeds, ghosts and gods would punish him, so as to encourage people to do good and restrain the evil in people's hearts.
Confucius believed that everything was predestined. And Mozi, who believes in ghosts and gods, does not believe in fate, he thinks that my fate is up to me, not to heaven.
Confucianism emphasizes sacrifices, and Mozi said that Confucianism "insists on learning rituals without ghosts, and learns from guests without guests, and is still without fish and is a fish." "It's just a fallacy, a big joke in the world.
Confucianism emphasizes ritual and music, and Mozi put forward the concept of 'non-music.' ’
"In the past, Qi Kang Gong was happy, and ten thousand people should not wear short brown clothes, and they should not eat chaff, and the sun eclipse and drink should not be beautiful, and the color of their faces should not be seen; The clothes are not beautiful, the body is calm and ugly, and it is not enough to see. It is to eat and meat, and clothes to embroider. ”
The only thing Mohists and Confucians have in common is 'Shangxian.' ’
However, this is also the common denominator of all doctrines, including countries, after all, as long as they are normal people, they will not push talented people away, but try their best to attract them.
As soon as the Ten Treatises of Mohism were put on the market, they dealt a heavy blow to Confucianism and spread widely in various countries.
Later, Mencius and other Confucian sages began to fight back against the Mohists, believing that the Mohists' 'concurrent love' was 'fatherless.' ’
The Mohists believe that Confucianism's "relatives have skills, respect for the virtuous", parents, wives, eldest sons, and grandchildren all mourn for three years, while uncles, brothers, and concubines mourn for May, which is hypocrisy.
The hatred between the two factions is simply higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
Even after the death of Mozi, the Mo family was divided, and the struggle between the two factions did not stop.
Confucius's disciple, Zixia, went to Wei and founded the Xihe School, and his disciple Li Kui launched a reform in Wei.
As we all know, Legalism can be bones, but not flesh, and if all Legalists are used, it is too harsh, and there must be other schools of thought as auxiliaries.
And Li Kui's reform of the law is to take Legalism as the backbone, Confucianism as the meat, select talents and talents, create a century-old hegemony of the Wei State, and lock the Qin State in the pass, and he can't get out of a single step.
Shen Bu harm's change of law is based on Legalism as the bone and Huang Lao's doctrine as the meat, which is called 'art' by Shen Bu Harm.
To put it simply, the monarch does not say anything, does nothing, pretends to be mysterious all day long, so that no one can guess what you think, and everything is left to the minister.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty relied on the 'Wu Wei' of the Huang Lao School to quickly restore its national strength.
After the weakening of the Wei state, the Mo family Xiangli faction entered the Qin state.
Although the Shang Dynasty reform is an upgraded version of Li Kui's reform, it is not a change with Legalism as the bone and Confucianism as the meat, but with Legalism as the bone and Mojia as the meat.
The Qin Law was compiled on the basis of the Mo Law.
Not only that, Shang Ying was also the first ruthless person in Chinese history to order the 'burning of books'.
Since then, the state of Qin has become a forbidden place of Confucianism, except for Xunzi, no Confucian disciples entered the Qin, until Qin Shi Huang was unified, Confucianism had no choice but to lick his face and take refuge in the Qin state.
Riding on the chariot of the Qin State, the Mohists launched a crazy counterattack against Confucianism.
Until now, the struggle between the two factions has not stopped.
The struggle between the two factions has led to reflection within Confucianism: Confucianism seems to be really problematic.
Thereupon...... The Xunzi faction appeared.
After the deposition of the hundred schools of thought in history and the exclusive respect for Confucianism, Confucianism won completely and launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Mohists, and the Mohists disappeared into the dust forever.
"Although Confucianism scolded Qin Shi Huang and Shang Yang for burning books, I'm afraid that no one burns as many books as Confucianism!" Zhao Kuo sighed in his heart.
