"During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the ideas and concepts of the hundred schools of thought have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and various theories have been embodied at all levels of society."

"In order to achieve the cultural integration of the country, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to rectify these pluralistic ideas."

"Hundreds of schools of thought contend, various ideologies and concepts are intertwined and collided, and various schools of thought such as Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, and Mohism have their own opinions and debates. This situation is obviously not conducive to the stability and development of the country. ”

"In order to strengthen the centralization of power and consolidate the dominance of the state, it was very necessary for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to adjust the situation of this pluralistic thinking."

Through the policy of "overthrowing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty successfully promoted Confucianism to the whole country and realized the integration and unification of culture. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the policy of "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" out of many considerations, including historical background, the superiority of Confucianism, political purposes, and cultural integration. ”

"This policy has had a profound impact on the country's political, economic and cultural development, and is worthy of our in-depth study and consideration."

However, if we look at it from another angle, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's cultural and martial arts have their own progressive significance, its negative impact on history cannot be ignored either, such as the idea of autocratic "great unification" can certainly enhance the cohesion between nations, but at the same time it also pushes autocratic centralization to the peak of power. ”

"Although it is true that the way of life of the extended family has become the cornerstone of a super-stable society, it has also made the politics of man a constant pattern for two thousand years."

"As for the continuous wars and attacks in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it caused social turmoil and the bad consequences of the people's livelihood, and the pros and cons during this period are difficult to explain."

"An era of autocracy must be a harsh age!"

"This sentence is also applicable in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

In fact, in a society governed by man, the more accomplished the king, the more destructive his power will often be, as the Song Dynasty poet Lian Chisheng wrote in his poem: "Han Wu loved famous horses, and the generals went to the west." Millions of blood, seventy people. Only get it, and sing to the gods. ””

"Turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands into rain" is certainly the norm for monarchs.

"Great joy, martial arts and murder" is just an ordinary story for them.

The so-called "Son of Heaven is angry, ambushes millions of corpses, and sheds thousands of miles of blood" is the best protagonist of the emperor's personal actions. ”

"As a generation of heroes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is indeed one of the most accomplished emperors in ancient times, but the heroes are also mortals."

From the attitude of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty towards the magic of immortals, it can be seen that he is paranoid and crazy, and from the occurrence of the "Witch Curse", it can be seen that he was ruthless and cruel and moody in his later years - there are often "half-cut great men" like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the society ruled by man.

"Restricted by physiological, intellectual, age and many other aspects, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's personal actions only exposed the common drawbacks of human rule society."

"Confucian legal thought, with Confucius as its founder, is based on a legal system and ideology based on the family, ethics, and hierarchy."

He advocated "rule by etiquette" and "rule by virtue", that is, "rule by man". ”

"The main purpose of Confucianism's rule is that the sages determine the rituals; The body is righteous and orderly; King Faxian, conform to people's feelings. ”

"Confucianism emphasizes the rule of etiquette in the relationship between etiquette and law, the rule of virtue in the relationship between virtue and law, and the rule of man in the relationship between man and law."

"Since the Han Dynasty "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism", it has become a pole of ideology and ideology, and later generations are nothing more than tinkering with it, and it has dominated the country for more than 2,000 years. ”

"Feudal thought is essentially Confucianism, which still affects the country's politics, economy, culture, education, life, and law in the real society. There is no situation in which a hundred schools of thought contend, a single mode of thought, and a political and legal culture created -- that is, autocracy. ”

"History has proved that the rule of man and autocracy are in the same line."

"It is necessary to establish a modern judicial concept, and this kind of humanization of the local environmental legal thinking is incompatible with the concept of the rule of law, which emphasizes the use of systems and rules to restrain people's behavior."

"Confucianism is the most important ideological obstacle to the establishment of a modern judicial concept, that is, the concept of the rule of law is inherently insufficient."

"There are definitely Confucians who don't like to hear this, but isn't that true for me as a modern person?"

"In fact, in terms of ideology, Confucianism is not superior to Taoism, but Confucius's realistic attitude of actively entering the WTO, accepting and conforming to the progress of history is more suitable for governing the country than other schools."

"At the same time, as Mr. Lin Yutang said, among all the schools of thought at that time, only Confucianism was closely integrated with the classical scholarship and historical knowledge of the time, and these ancient classics themselves were extremely valuable, so that Confucianism naturally became a model of education, and it can be said that Confucianism was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people later, and it was inseparable from its dissemination through textbooks."

The great unification of ideology has consolidated the national consciousness of the Chinese people, strengthened the centripetal force and cohesion of the Chinese people, and greatly promoted China's political and national unity. ”

"So that after two thousand years of development, our country can still maintain the basic territory of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty when the frontier was opened, no matter what form and how long the division occurs, the people of the country have never forgotten the unity of the country, and this sense of unity is almost from the natural requirements of the people."

"No matter where the world is in the world, everyone takes reunification for granted, everyone regards it as glory to be able to contribute to reunification, and in the face of the great right and wrong of division and reunification, everyone has the pride of sacrificing oneself without regard for oneself."

This sense of unity is in line with the idea of "great unification" laid down at the beginning, with the ideological unity of the country for thousands of years, and with the sense of identity of the country and the Chinese nation formed under the education of Confucianism. ”

"A civilization with Confucianism as the main body is really like a broad and profound wise man, smiling and opening his mind, let you toss in my arms, anyway, everyone will inevitably have the psychological identity of the Chinese nation and the people after all, so that there is only a formal invasion and split, but it is difficult to shake the country in essence."

However, the negative impact of "overthrowing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" cannot be ignored. ”

"To put it simply, first of all, Confucianism occupies the position of orthodox thought, which inevitably dimms the light of other schools, and over time, some of the original very distinctive ways of thinking are not only not glorious, but even gradually lost, greatly compressing the philosophical thinking space of the Chinese people."
