Chapter 1517 - Benefiting the World?
When Donghezi used to talk about Kongqiu, Xander had heard some of it, so she asked: "Kongyu advocates benevolence, wisdom, propriety, righteousness, and faith, which is an important principle of being a person and doing things, how can it be said that this is flashy?"
Xander was stunned: "Isn't it?"
"Of course!! it is not that Kongqiu's 'benevolence' is by no means 'benevolence and sympathy', but has its specific political meaning!! Kongqiu himself told this secret from the beginning: filial piety to parents, obedience to elder brothers, and like to offend the upper rulers, such people are rare." I don't like to offend the upper-class rulers, but there are no people who like to rebel~~~ Filial piety to parents and obedience to brothers, this is the foundation of benevolence!"
"Kongqiu's 'benevolence' is based on filial piety, and the fundamental purpose is actually the ruling order of the family and the world established by Zhou Li!! which is the ultimate core of his 'benevolence'!"
"Although he also said that he should take care of the people at the bottom, and he also said that he wanted to benefit everyone, this is a fundamental premise - 'not to violate the ruling order of the family and the world established by Zhou Li'. What he hoped for was not a society of mutual love and mutual benefit, but a society in which everyone abides by the order of Zhou etiquette, a 'warm and affectionate order of private ownership in the world'. ”
Kong Qiu said that his favorite disciple was Yan Hui, and when Yan Hui died, he wailed that it was like he was dead, and his grief was sincere. It looks like love. But Yan was poor at home, and after his death, he had no money to be buried according to aristocratic customs. His father, Yan Lu, begged Confucius to sell the car. Buy a coffin for Yan Yuan. Confucius said: "Although Yan Hui and Kong Li are talented and talentless, they are each their own sons. When Kong Carp died, there was also a coffin without a coffin. I didn't sell my car on foot and buy him a coffin. Because I am still following the doctor, I am not allowed to walk. ”
"My favorite son is dead, and I can't violate the Zhou etiquette and the ruling order of the family. This is the true 'ideal of benevolence' of Confucius. Does he really love Yan Hui? He only loves his 'Zhou Li family's ruling order in the world.'" Does he really love the people of the world? He only loves the political system and system with which he agrees. ”
"The order established by Zhou Li is a 'private system of government' with the 'family world' as the core, the aristocracy as the backbone, and the people's obedience as the basis, which occupies the whole world as private things, and then divides them into large and small nobles, bureaucrats, gentry, etc. The interests of the people and the nation are not the core of it, and they can be sold for the interests of the family and clan when necessary. The shame of Jingkang is the most typical portrayal! Such a ruling system. Eventually, it will lead to oligarchy and the divide between rich and poor. This is not subject to personal ideals and will. ”
However, Confucius lacked a profound view of history and extensive practice of social production and cooperation, and mistook the Zhou rites as the ideal goal, and wanted people to live according to the Zhou rites and maintain the ruling order of private ownership in the world. This is his 'benevolence'. He thought that in this way the world would be peaceful. Blind to the myriad of possibilities for social development. How can such a person and such insight accomplish great things and benefit the people?"
"So. His 'benevolence' is a kind of 'benevolence' in the narrow sense of the strict zhòng!! ordinary people are upside down and confused, and when they see the word 'ren', they mistakenly think that Confucius is advocating 'love, sympathy, and friendliness', which is a black and white error. It's already poisonous, it's old!"
Xander thought for a moment, and then asked: "Is there something wrong with 'wisdom'?" Donghezi replied: "Do you think that Kongqiu's 'wisdom' is what ordinary people call 'wisdom'!!? The wisdom and knowledge that contributes to the benevolence of Confucius is the wisdom of Confucius. ”
"The wisdom of Confucius is the wisdom and knowledge to maintain the ruling order of private ownership in the world of the Zhou Li family!"
Zang Wenzhong was known as the "wise man" at the time, but he didn't care about etiquette. He ignored the regulations of the Zhou rites, and even built a large house of Tibetan turtles and decorated it in the style of the temple of the Son of Heaven, which in the eyes of Confucius was a move of 'Yue Li'. Therefore, Confucius accused him of being 'unkind' and 'unwise'. ”
"It can be seen that the 'wisdom' that normal people speak of is not the 'wisdom' that Confucius said, and the 'wisdom' of Confucius is a kind of 'wisdom' in a strict and narrow sense, which is based on the 'correctness of politics'. The Ji clan sent someone to ask Kong Qiu's apprentice Min Ziqian to be the governor of Feiyi, but the Ji clan violated the ruling order of Zhou Li, so Min Ziqian said to the people who came to invite him: "Please excuse me! If you come to summon me again, then I will definitely go to Wenshui." In Confucius's view, it does not matter whether it is beneficial to society and development. If you violate the ruling order of private ownership in the world, it is a great rebellion, and it is 'unwise' for you to help him. But history wants to slap him in the face! It just wants the Zhou Rite system to be completely finished. But after the end, everyone can still live a good life in other systems. ”
It can be seen that Confucius lacked a profound view of history and extensive social production and collaborative practice, mistook the Zhou rites as the ideal goal, and wanted people to live according to the Zhou rites and maintain the private ownership and ruling order of the family and the world, which is his 'wisdom'. He thought that in this way the world would be peaceful, and he could not see that there were various possibilities for social development. How can such a person and such insight accomplish great things and benefit the people?"
Cindell's teeth were not sharp and his mouth was unfavorable, so he changed the topic: "Is it wrong to talk about credit?" Donghezi wanted to laugh when he heard it: "Do you think that Kongqiu's 'letter' is what ordinary people call 'faith'? Don't be funny - Confucius said: Faith is close to righteousness, and words can be repeated." Creditworthiness must conform to righteousness, and only if it conforms to righteousness can it be practiced. ”
"Of course, this is a matter of course, but is it necessary to commit an act of injustice?"
Donghezi only shook his head: "But Kongqiu's 'righteousness', do you think it is the justice that ordinary people say? No, it is not either, here in Kongqiu, the behavior that meets the requirements of benevolence and propriety is righteousness! And what is Confucius's benevolence and propriety--Zhou Li! The ruling order of private ownership in the world formulated by Zhou Li! You see, after going around in a circle, it still came back. 'Politics is correct' is the essence of Confucius. And 'political correctness', we all know. It is the seed that breeds privilege, laziness, small groups and sectarians, and strife, which leads to 'incorrect practice'. ”
Xander was slightly dissatisfied: "Your explanation is a bit strong. It's not like 'see the meaning of the truth.' The gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit. It can be seen that his "righteousness" still has a righteous element. Donghezi said: "The ruling order of private ownership in the world is in a well-run ideal state, and there is certainly an element of justice. But in the final analysis, it is still the ruling order of private ownership, or the order that leads to the rule of the oligarchic aristocratic gentry. ”
"What's more, 'the gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable.'" It is precisely the view of separation: the relationship between individual interests and collective interests, the relationship between social production and social consciousness, and the relationship between the ruling order and long-term development. ”
"There is a contradiction between individual interests and collective interests. But sometimes it's consistent. The true saint is both blocked and sparse. Good at guiding people to a consistent path. ”
"Social production and social consciousness are closely linked. Social production cannot develop benignly, the people are impoverished and the distribution of benefits is inappropriate, which will eventually lead to disappointment and loss of those who work hard. When social production discovers a bad society, it will inevitably lead to all kinds of social contradictions and conflicts. But Kong Qiu is such a mouse-eyed person. But he said wildly, 'Good gifts.' Then the people will not dare to be disrespectful, and if they are righteous, they will not dare to disobey them, and they will be good believers. The people dare not be merciful. If this is the case, then the people of the Quartet will carry their sons to them, and they will not use the crops?' He thought that as long as the Zhou rites were carried out, it was enough, and there was no need to develop production and improve technology. Does this conform to the real situation and laws of social governance? How can wise rulers, who are all actively developing production, 'make good use of their crops'? Confucius's poor knowledge of social management and his personal IQ can be seen. This bird's nest is a man with low eyes, and he can be a friend, so he will be exempted from being a chief!"
Xander asked rhetorically, "You said he couldn't do this, and that couldn't do that." But who can do it? He can't carry the banner of 'benevolence, wisdom, propriety, righteousness, and faith,' who will carry this banner?" Donghezi Zhengse said: "How can Kong Qiu be the standard-bearer?
"Who came up with the 'people-oriented'? Isn't it Guan Zhongzhixue, but he Kongqiu?"
"Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, who said that? Isn't it Guan Zhongzhi's learning, but his Kongqiu?"
"Who abandoned the theory of bloodline, proposed that the six relatives, five laws and four shuns, and the selfless can be put into account?
"Who stands in the interests of the people, not on the basis of the family and the world's political system, and says, 'Virtue has six xing'?
"Who is it from the perspective of public cooperation rather than the perspective of the powerful that advocates 'righteousness has seven bodies'?
"Who stood in the perspective of public order and good customs, rather than the oligarchic blood ruling order of the feudal state, and proposed the 'Eight Classics of Rites'?
"Who is it from the perspective of the operation of society rather than from the perspective of convenience for the rulers that formulates the 'law with five affairs'?
"Who is standing from the perspective of the country's national mobilization power rather than the perspective of the squires and wealthy clans advocating 'the three degrees of power'?
"Guan Zhongzhi's learning, great greatness! His benevolence, wisdom, propriety, and righteousness are the great benevolence, true wisdom, righteousness, truthfulness, and noble faith, and the people's benevolence, wisdom, propriety, and righteousness! Is it that Confucius's 'family and the world's private ownership and government are correct, benevolence, wisdom, propriety, and righteousness' are comparable? Looking at the history of several thousand years, all the better governance of society and the state conforms to the content of Guan Zhong's study. Anyone who smashes up the society, the state, and the nation is strictly violating the study of Guan Zhong. Guan Zhongzhixue is actually a 'simple template' of thousands of years of rule, and the excellent ruling methods of all dynasties and generations can be seen in the rudiments or usable techniques in Guan Zhongzhixue. The protection of natural resources, the construction of infrastructure, the development of production, the suppression of the exploitation and extravagant consumption of the ruling stratum, the building of social ideology, the building of the legal system, and so on! All kinds of feasible management methods, from military strategy to the rudiments of neighborhood offices, are all involved! This 'simple template' seems to be the general source of the social management methods derived from thousands of years!
"If you learn the study of Guan Zhong first, you can stand on the shoulders of giants and get an outline of social operation and development. With the outline in hand, and then looking at history, politics, economy, and human ethics, there is a context to follow. The wise can touch the like, and the stupid can at least avoid making big mistakes. On the contrary, if you learn the art of Confucius first, you will not learn other theories, and you will become a master and a low-level person. Yangzhou City's incompetent history is its benchmark, and the useless Li Kun of Dream of Red Mansions is its ending. ”
The study of Guan Zhongzhi organically combines individual interests with collective interests, social production and social consciousness, ruling order and long-term development, although there are many problems, but after all, it builds a real social cooperation and management framework. This kind of vicious behavior of reversing black and white will continue to spread, and the nation will still be able to prosper, the country can still prosper, and the society can still be truly peaceful? It is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Cindell asked: "Didn't you say that others evaluate Kong Qiu as: Yang is high, drill is strong, and is good at seducing." Why do you say that he is useless now?" replied, "I gave you a brief description of his person, but I did not elaborate on it. Do you know who is the person who praises Kong Qiu's 'high admiration, strong drilling, and good temptation'? It is his disciple, Yan Hui!"
Xiandale asked rhetorically: "Didn't you say that Yan Hui was poor and happy, and his character was very high?" Donghezi smiled: "Yan Hui, the descendant of the down-and-out nobles." However, his family still has dozens of acres of land. He seems to be poor when he doesn't farm to feed his family, and he lives in the alleys of the city every day, but the laborers who farm in their fields and those who support him in the alleys of the city are not even poorer?
"Yan Hui, a down-and-out nobleman. Kongqiu, a down-and-out aristocrat. It's a vested interest group under Zhou Li that should have been on top!" Donghezi pointed to the core: "Otherwise, why do they miss the private ownership and government order formulated by Zhou Li so much? The down-and-out 'noble second generation' touted each other, and after being abandoned by the times, they curled up together and licked each other's spiritual wounds, this kind of thing that affects the head is really normal." Don't the intellectuals of Ratziraka also tout to each other all day long that they are 'noble in character and sacred in ideals.'"
Xian Dai Er was puzzled: "But you also said that Kong Qiu and Yan Hui were highly praised by later generations and were offered as saints. It's really so unbearable, how can there be such treatment?" Donghezi smiled gently: "Kongqiu, his mistake is not how bad he is, but that he has never been able to let go of his aristocratic ass, and his social practice ability is not high, and he even despises social practice, and regards the dream in his heart as the right thing. If the world does not match the ideal, then the world must be wrong. In fact, it is quite good for a person like him to be thrown to a remote mountain market town to be a small and medium-sized official, and to use his conservative spirit to maintain and maintain the local ruling order. ”
"If I were the ruler of private ownership in the world, or the aristocracy or oligarch, I would definitely praise him as a saint and enjoy cold pork in the temple every day. I can tempt the people of the world to maintain my home, the private ownership of the world, and the ruling order. In fact, if he wants to be a saint, there are too many saints in the world. A great sage like Guan Zhong can be a savior. ”
Xander finally figured out the real situation: "So, can you write me some Guan Zhongzhixue, so that we can also stand on the shoulders of giants?" Donghezi said happily: "Yes, but Guan Zhongzhixue needs social practice, and people who hide in ivory towers all day long and use their 'lofty' fantasies to judge society are not good learners." Only those who go deep into the actual labor production, the actual cooperation, the actual management, the actual benefit sharing, the actual conflict of interests, and the actual complex interpersonal relations, but are not dragged by them, can learn and succeed. ”

PS – One recommendation per day, one click, is also a contribution. Hopefully it will thrive.
Recently, there have been several important private matters to deal with, and the update has been a little unstable. Thank you for your understanding.
Originally, it was not such a long chapter, but recently I saw Confucian sticks and ignorant people jumping up and down in some forums, and they attributed the excellent Chinese tradition to themselves. Such shameless acts are tolerable and intolerable. Therefore, I was a little wordy and exposed its old background to set the record straight!
In fact, there are many real essences, and today I recommend a Guan Zhong to let everyone know what is the real ability. The true abilities of great benevolence, true wisdom, righteousness, truthfulness, and noble faith are placed in front of you, and if you don't learn them, when will you wait for them? Don't be fooled into learning those rotten fake things. (To be continued......)
