Let's bring it up now

Most of the "royal road" refers to people, things, and things that we like. whereas

"Domineering" is basically used to describe the arrogant and unreasonable attitude of someone or a country or political party. Very few people don't mean these two words until ancient times, and sometimes they feel confused when they see these two words when they read ancient books or history books, let alone know them

"The royal road

The antonym of "is actually "domineering."

"That's it.

"The royal way" refers to the administration based on justice and benevolence, and its core is to achieve the governance of the country based on morality and benevolence.

On the contrary, it was advocated by the contemporaneous Legalist Han Fei

"Hegemonism" means using force and power to suppress the people and rule the people. Convincing people with force and convincing people with reason is the fundamental difference between the two.

Most people are right

"The royal road".

The understanding of "king" is

"The King",

"Emperor" or

"Overlord", in fact, this is a misunderstanding.

"The royal road".

"King" and the first few

"King" has nothing to do with it at all, it takes the meaning of its words: the upper horizontal represents the sky, the middle horizontal represents the man, the next horizontal represents the earth, and the vertical represents the concept of the unity of heaven, earth and man.

Confucianism pursues self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and then governs the country and the world to become a thing, and in order to achieve the highest effect, it must be in the right place and in the right place, and only in this way can it achieve the royal road.

The term "royal road" was first seen in Mencius. Mencius said: "Those who pretend to be benevolent with force dominate." The King of Virtue and Benevolence".

The monarch who practices the royal way is called

"King", with

"Hegemon" relatively. Confucianism believes that the monarch should be:

The "royal way" to rule the people must be supported by the will of the people, that is, the people below; and perhaps more importantly, the will of Heaven, which can reflect the will of the people, to ensure its legitimacy.

That is, the monarch represents heaven and reigns over all the people according to the mandate of heaven, so it is called

"Son of Heaven", that is, the Son of Heaven.

"Overbearing".

"Ba" is original

The meaning of "Bo".

"Bo" was originally a title for the person appointed by Zhou Tianzi to replace him in dealing with the disputes of the vassal states. Just started the appointment

"Bo" is not necessarily a powerful vassal state. However, in the later development, because it was often the powerful vassal states that had the strength to settle disputes, and then they were elected, and slowly evolved

The meaning of "hegemon". whereas

"Domineering" comes from "Xunzi Monarchy": "Therefore, it is clear that it is not compatible, and believes in the way of its friends and enemies, there is no king in the world, and the overlord always wins." It's a domineering person. "It is generally characterized by the strengthening of absolute monarchy at home, centralization of power, enrichment of the country and strengthening of the army, and external expansion, with the goal of making the country a hegemonic state.

The state of Qin has pursued a hegemonic policy since Qin Xiaogong was the hegemon of the princes. King Qin Zhao was a domineering executor of hard work, and his national strength was thriving, and finally Qin Shi Huang wiped out the Six Kingdoms.

Hegemony has been widely criticized by Confucianism for its wanton expansion of armaments and brutal expansion abroad, rule of law internally, and intimidate the common people with harsh punishments, and is considered to be rich and strong for a while, but not for long-term peace and stability.

For example, the Qin Dynasty unified China, but it quickly perished because of the abuse of people's power. Most emperors in history seem to advocate the royal way on the surface, but what they practiced was actually the realistic way of kingship, that is, the combination of high pressure and gentleness, and the mixture of kingship and domineering, which is the so-called

"Outer Confucianism and internal law" is not "exclusive respect for Confucianism" as everyone thinks. It is recorded in the Book of Han and Emperor Yuan that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty reprimanded the crown prince Liu Zheng and said: "The Han family has its own system, which is supposed to be a tyrant, but why use pure morality and Zhou Zhenghu? It means that the combination of kingship and hegemony governs the world.

But interestingly, most of the emperors in history tended to adopt hegemony, because it provided the basis and guidance for the recovery of imperial power.
