"Yes!" Zhu Su nodded.

"Whether this world is reason or qi, whether it is the heart or the five elements of yin and yang, no matter how profound and profound it is, it is always just empty words."

"If you want to explore, you don't rely on those Confucians to make a car behind closed doors and imagine it out of thin air. Instead, we should connect with reality, to understand, and to discover. ”

"As for the method...... Didn't the teacher already teach you? ”

"How?" Fang Xiaoru's eyes were still stunned, and after a moment, he instantly understood: "'Make bold assumptions and carefully verify', you mean that science ......"

"Teachable!" Zhu Su stroked his palms and smiled. "The so-called scientific scholar is the study of the principles of the world. You have seen it with your own eyes through experiments, but you have already understood what light is and what power is. What is pressure and what is flow rate? ”

Aren't these the principles of the world? As long as we study science for generations, there will be a day when we will understand all the thousands of truths in all things. ”

"At that time, what is this world, do you still need those people to interpret it in a mysterious way? Everything has long been beyond doubt. ”

Fang Xiaoru was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person suddenly brightened. Yes, whether it is Cheng Zhu of Confucianism, Lu Jiuyuan, etc., or figures of Taoism and Yin and Yang, they all try to summarize what is the principle of the world from the conclusion.

First determine that this world is composed of "heart", "reason", "qi", or "destiny", "five elements", etc., and then bring them into all things in the world, trying to use all kinds of mystical and profound statements to prove the correctness of their thoughts.

As everyone knows, such an approach itself is ridiculous. If you don't know the subtleties, how can you draw conclusions? It's just a matter of drawing up a result, and then working behind closed doors.

Did they know that light has seven colors? Do they know that the earth under their feet is spherical? Do they know why the sun rises and the moon sets, and the tengu eats the sun? What do they say about the Mandate of Heaven and the Principles of Heaven, have they ever seen it? Destiny and Heavenly Principles, what do they look like?

It's just relying on speculation to explain everything in the world. Why bother to investigate such a statement?

Unlike science, one is one, two is two, rigorous and irrefutable. It's ridiculous that he even abandoned science to study philosophy, because it turns out that science is the real key to understanding the mysteries of the world!

When science is fully clarified and exhausted, all the truths in the world will naturally be on fire. Although this can take dozens or hundreds of generations. But the principles of the world are intricately complicated, can we just use the word "qi" or "reason" to deceive people because of their complexity and incomprehension?

"The disciple is enlightened!" Fang Xiaoru's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he stood up with a straight face: "Please accept the disciple's worship!" ”

"If there is no point from my master, I will almost return empty-handed in the treasure mountain!"

"Alas! The Confucianism learned in the previous life now seems to be all vain and wasted! ”

"Ann can say so!" Zhu Su reprimanded, "Confucianism also has its merits. ”

"In my opinion, the original Confucianism was to teach people morality, lead people to goodness, and guide the monarch to benevolence. This is good learning, and science complements each other, and it is also an inseparable part of our Chinese civilization. ”

"It's just that later generations misinterpreted it indiscriminately, or took it out of context, or put on a crown and Li Dai, and turned a good Confucianism into a 'Confucianism' that does not know how to adapt and imprisons the thoughts of the world."

"If Confucius had known that Confucianism is so bloated and almost invisible to the original state that Confucianism is now so bloated, will he still admit that the current scholars are his disciples and grandchildren?"

Zhu Su said solemnly.

This is the "truth" that he has been searching the mountains and seas in his room in the past few days, trying to retro Confucianism, and finally realized that it is most suitable for building a strong and prosperous Ming Dynasty.

That is: to implement the original Confucianism, directly "format" Confucianism, and restore it to the way it was when it just left the factory!

You must know that most of the original Confucian ideas are actually not problematic. Confucius convinces others not only with a big fist of vinegar, but also with his clear and thoughtful values. In fact, there are many of the three views embodied in his Analects, and they are all applicable everywhere.

Occasionally, one or two things are wrong, and most of them are also the so-called Confucians of later generations who took them out of context and far-fetched for their own selfishness.

For example, the so-called "repay grievances with virtue", Confucius's original words are "repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue?" Repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue! People directly rebuked the idea of "repaying grievances with virtue", and bluntly said that evil deeds should be repaid in a fair and direct way, and virtue can also be repaid with virtue.

Another example is "parents are here, not far away". The original words of Confucius are: "If your parents are here, you will not travel far, and you must have a way to travel." "You have to plan well in advance and settle your parents before you can travel far away. It is not a foolish loyalty and filial piety who cannot leave a single step.

In this way, there are many misinterpretations in the Analects. Even when the science of science was flourishing, even the words that Confucius complained about on weekdays could break the universe and the Great Dao, and pull out a long list of so-called heaven and earth principles. It then serves as a corroboration of the truth of the "saints".

(For example, the sentence "Only women and villains are difficult to raise".) In fact, it was just because Confucius thought that Wei Linggong intended to govern the country with Confucianism, so he rushed to defend the country. It turned out that the purpose of Wei Linggong and his wife Nanzi was only to use his reputation as Confucius to elevate his status and show off publicly. Therefore, Confucius complained angrily, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise." Just this emotional complaint, it has been all kinds of far-fetched by later generations, and it has been related to what is heavenly and moral, three outlines and five constants. It can be seen how outrageous Confucianism was in the future. )

Zhu Su's "Zun Confucius Retro" is to completely restore the original appearance of Confucianism, abandon the vast and far-fetched commentary interpretation, and explore the original ideas that the Confucian classics want to express. In this way, we will not only be able to completely eliminate the malaise of "Confucianism," which is now bloated, but will also make Confucianism become a kind of learning again, and together with science, we will explore the origin of the world and build a spiritual civilization. One is moral education, and the other is pragmatic.

In this way, the wise men of China will not make the mistake of using philosophy to explain science and regard science as the end of the study of ingenuity.

"I see!" Fang Xiaoru was inexplicably impressed. "Apprentice understood."

"No longer listen to and believe in those corrupt words of Confucianism, but explore the original intention of Confucius to understand the truth that the sage really wants to preach."

"Confucianism and morality, Confucianism and self-cultivation. As for understanding the outside world, it is left to science. This is what Confucianism should look like! ”

"Today, we know that although all beings in the world call themselves Confucians, they are all pseudo-Confucians!"

"Only my teacher is a true Confucian!"

Fang Xiaoru was crazy, patted his thigh, and praised loudly.
