It seems that a lot of history does not stand up to scrutiny.

As soon as you scrutinize, you may be exposed.

But which side should we believe is right?

After all, their argument is also "public and reasonable...... The mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable". Therefore, it seems that believing in the opinions of either side can stand on its feet.

My point of view is that maybe Dong Zhongshu did not say the sentence "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", but Dong Zhongshu really expressed the idea of "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".

Let's take an analogy.

Chairman Mao, with great political courage, put forward the famous thesis of "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" at the critical moment of the life and death of the revolution and at the "87" meeting, the party's highest meeting.

On August 7, 1927, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held an emergency meeting in Hankou, Hubei Province, to summarize the reasons for the failure of the Great Revolution. Many people present at the meeting sharply criticized the right-leaning tendencies displayed by Chen Duxiu, Comintern delegates, and Soviet advisers in handling the Kuomintang-Kuomintang, peasant land, armed struggle, and so on. In his speech, Chairman Mao pointed out that one of the mistakes made by the CPC Central Committee was that it failed to recognize the extreme importance of the armed forces. He stressed that the whole party "must pay great attention to the military, knowing that political power is obtained from the barrel of a gun." This is determined by the characteristics of China's national conditions, that is, there is no democracy in China, and the main form can only be revolutionary armed struggle. Only by mastering its own armed forces can the proletariat oppose the counter-revolutionary armed forces with revolutionary arms and seize national power. Mao Zedong's opinion pointed out the lessons of the failure of the Great Revolution. It also pointed out the correct direction for the basic method of the Chinese revolution. This passage later became the slogan of action for the party to create, lead and master the people's armed forces and conduct the struggle.

"It can be said that the power comes out of the barrel of a gun" has far-reaching significance for China. This famous thesis was put forward by Chairman Mao at the "87 Conference" in light of China's national conditions at that time. He clearly realized that China is the China of the Chinese, and there is no savior who can give happiness to the Chinese, and there is no panacea to cure China's diseases. Ignoring China's national conditions and copying the Western formula can only make China more and more chaotic and worse, and the result is only a dead end.

The policy of armed opposition to the Kuomintang reactionaries was determined. The Agrarian Revolutionary War arose.

In fact. It also makes sense if we replace "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun" with "the importance of armed struggle," or if "a big fist is the last word," or even replace "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun" with the arrogant "a man with a gun is the king of grass."

But. Chairman Mao said that "the importance of armed struggle" and "a big fist is the last word" and "a gun is the king of grass"?

No!

However, we understand Chairman Mao's "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" as "the importance of armed struggle", "a big fist is the last word" and "a gun is the king of grass". Yes, too.

The same thing.

Maybe Dong Zhongshu really didn't say, "Depose the hundred schools." Respect Confucianism", but others understand that Dong Zhongshu is expressing the sentence "Depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".

Maybe that's why. Only those who argue can "say that the public is justified, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable", right?

Also, I think or many people actually misunderstand the phrase "overthrow the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".

For what?

Look at one of our country's current policies, "rejuvenating the country through science and education."

"Rejuvenating the country through science and education" refers to comprehensively implementing the idea that science and technology are the primary productive forces, persistently taking education as the foundation, placing science, technology, and education in an important position in economic and social development, enhancing the country's scientific and technological strength and its ability to transform it into real productive forces, enhancing the scientific, technological, and cultural quality of the whole nation, shifting economic construction to the track of relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of laborers, and speeding up the realization of the country's prosperity and strength.

"Rejuvenating the country through science and education" is a development strategy put forward by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in accordance with Deng Xiaoping Theory and the party's basic line, scientifically analyzing and summing up the trends and experiences of economic, social, and scientific and technological development in the world since modern times, especially in the contemporary era, and fully estimating the tremendous impact of the future development of science and technology, especially high technology, on the overall national strength, social and economic structure, people's livelihood, and the process of modernization. Science and technology are the primary productive forces. At the National Science and Technology Conference, the CPC Central Committee further put forward the strategy of "rejuvenating the country through science and education." In the future, investment in scientific research, which is the source of scientific and technological progress, will increase. On the other hand, the institutional reform of scientific research institutes across the country is being carried out in depth, and the examination and approval method of scientific research fund applications has been reformed from the simple examination and approval of appropriations by superiors in the past to expert demonstration and evaluation. The theoretical basis of the idea of "rejuvenating the country through science and education" is Comrade Deng Xiaoping's idea that science and technology are the primary productive forces. In 1977, Deng Xiaoping proposed at a forum on science and education work: "If our country wants to catch up with the advanced level of the world's leading circles, where should we start?" I think we should start with science and education, and "if we do not grasp science and education, there will be no hope for the four modernizations, and they will become empty words." He explicitly regarded the development of science and education as the forerunner of economic development and building a modern and powerful country, and placed it in the first place in China's development strategy. From the late 70s to the early 90s, Comrade Deng Xiaoping adhered to the core idea that "science and technology are the key to realizing the four modernizations, and education is the foundation," thus laying a solid theoretical and practical foundation for the formation of the development strategy of "rejuvenating the country through science and education."

At the 14 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1992, Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out: "It is necessary to shift economic construction to the track of relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of laborers." The "Decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Accelerating the Progress of Science and Technology" promulgated on 6 May 1995 put forward for the first time the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education throughout the country. Jiang Zemin pointed out at the meeting: "Rejuvenating the country through science and education refers to comprehensively implementing the idea that science and technology are the primary productive forces. We should persist in putting education as the foundation, place science, technology, and education in an important position in economic and social development, enhance the country's scientific and technological strength and ability to transform productive forces, and improve the scientific, technological, and cultural quality of the whole nation. In the same year, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 14 th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) listed the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education as one of the important principles for accelerating China's socialist modernization in the next 15 years and into the 21 st century. In 1996, the Fourth Session of the Eighth National People's Congress (NPC) formally put forward the Ninth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the long-term goals for 2010. In order to comprehensively implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, agriculture, industry, national defense, finance and trade, and other industries and departments have all put forward the development strategy of relying on science and technology to revitalize the industry. All provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and localities (cities) and counties (cities) have also formulated development strategies and development guidelines for rejuvenating provinces, cities, and counties through science and education. In 1988, Jiangsu Province took the lead in putting forward the strategy of "rejuvenating the province through science and education" and decided to change the mode of economic growth from relying mainly on cheap resources and cheap labor in the past to relying mainly on the level of science and technology and the quality of laborers. After the "rejuvenation of the country through science and education" was put forward as a national strategy, it accelerated the development of local scientific and technological undertakings and the economy. 1996 year. The National Science and Technology Leading Group was established. As of June 1997, a total of 26 provinces (municipalities, autonomous regions) and municipalities with separate planning and planning had set up leading groups for science and technology. According to statistics, by the end of 1997. More than 20 provinces and more than 200 cities across the country have formulated plans to promote economic development through science and technology. April 1998. The 3rd Conference of the "Expert Forum on Scientific and Technological Progress and Industrial Development" hosted by the China Association for Science and Technology. Chinese scholars announced that in the 10 years from 1981 to 1997, China's contribution rate to scientific and technological progress reached 31.65%. In May of the same year. In order to strictly implement the "Education Law" and the "Law on the Progress of Science and Technology" and implement the provisions on investment in education and science and technology in the "Outline for China's Education Reform and Development" and the "Decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Accelerating the Progress of Science and Technology", the General Office of the State Council forwarded the Ministry of Finance's "Circular on Further Making Budgetary Arrangements for Educational Science and Technology and Ensuring the Timely Payment of Teachers' Salaries." The "Circular" requires the financial departments of governments at all levels to ensure that the increase in the budget for education and science and technology is higher than the growth of fiscal recurrent revenue. For the first time, the "Circular" made it clear that the excess revenue in the implementation of the financial budget should also be correspondingly increased in the allocation of funds for education and science and technology, so as to ensure that the results of the annual budget implementation will achieve the increase rate prescribed by law. In 1998, with the approval of the central government, the National Leading Group for Science, Technology and Education was established and held its first meeting on June 9. Premier Zhu Rongji presided over the meeting and pointed out that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of Comrade Jiang Zemin's important instructions on the knowledge economy and the establishment of an innovation system, and that the state should financially support the pilot projects of knowledge innovation and increase investment in science, technology, and education.

Deng Xiaoping's idea of rejuvenating the country through science and education was put forward and developed. In the great practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, Comrade Deng Xiaoping always regarded the development of education and scientific and technological progress as fundamental issues that have a bearing on the overall situation of socialist modernization and the historical destiny of socialism. As early as 1977, just after the end of the "Cultural Revolution" and the initial period of re-proposing China's historical task of realizing modernization, Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed at a forum on scientific and educational work: "If our country wants to catch up with the advanced level of the world, where should we start? I think we should start with science and education. "(1) Clearly regard the development of science and education as the forerunner for developing the economy and building a modern and powerful country. In 1978, at the National Science Conference and the National Education Work Conference, Comrade Deng Xiaoping profoundly expounded on the relationship between rapid economic development and scientific and technological progress, which in turn depends on education, and stressed the importance of vigorously developing science and technology and education from a strategic perspective. In 1982, Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized when discussing the key points of China's development strategy in the next 20 years: "I believe that this is the key to doing a good job in education and science. You can't do it without talent, you can't do it without knowledge." (2) In 1985, at the National Conference on Science and Technology Work, Comrade Deng Xiaoping reiterated: "The most important thing in reforming the economic system, and what I am most concerned about, is talent. In reforming the science and technology system, what I am most concerned about is talent. (3) At the National Education Work Conference in the same year, Comrade Deng Xiaoping called on party committees and governments at all levels to conscientiously grasp the education work, pointing out: "The strength of our country's national strength and the strength of its economic development depend more and more on the quality of the laborers and on the quantity and quality of intellectuals. (4) 1988. Comrade Deng Xiaoping profoundly pointed out: "Marx said that science and technology are productive forces, and facts have proved that this is very correct. In my opinion, science and technology are the primary productive forces. (5) This epoch-making thesis creatively developed the Marxist theory on productive forces and revealed the historical inevitability of implementing the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. In 1992, Comrade Deng Xiaoping once again pointed out in an important speech during his inspection of the south: "To develop the economy faster, we must rely on science and technology and education. (6) He called on the whole party and the whole society to work together to do more practical things to accelerate the development of China's science and technology and education. Comrade Deng Xiaoping's scientific thesis of relying on science and education for modernization that was formed and developed from the late 70s to the early 90s laid a solid theoretical foundation for proposing and implementing the development strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. According to this strategic thinking of Comrade Deng Xiaoping. In 1985, the CPC Central Committee successively promulgated the decision on the reform of the scientific and technological system and the decision on the reform of the education system. The strategic principles of "economic construction must rely on science and technology, and science and technology work must be oriented to economic construction" (7) and "education must serve socialist construction, and socialist construction must rely on education" (8) were respectively established. In 1992, the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) set the main tasks of China's reform and construction in the 90s on the basis of the theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. At the meeting, Comrade Jiang Zemin profoundly pointed out that "it is necessary to shift economic construction to the track of relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of laborers." (9) In 1993. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have promulgated the Outline of China's Education Reform and Development. In the main principles for building a socialist education system with Chinese characteristics, it is clearly stated that "education is the foundation of socialist modernization, and we must persist in giving priority to education in the strategic position of development." (10) It also put forward a major measure to implement the strategic position of education. 1994 year. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council convened a national education work conference to implement the spirit of the 14th CPC National Congress and the Third Plenary Session of the 14th CPC Central Committee, further implement the strategy of giving priority to the development of education, and mobilize the whole party and society to conscientiously implement the "Outline for China's Education Reform and Development". In 1995, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council promulgated the "Decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Strengthening the Progress of Science and Technology," convened a national conference on science and technology, and formally put forward for the first time the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. It was reaffirmed that "we should shift economic construction to the track of relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of laborers, and accelerate the realization of national prosperity and strength." In the same year, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 14 th CPC Central Committee listed the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education as one of the important principles for accelerating China's socialist modernization in the next 15 years and throughout the 21 st century. In 1996, the Fourth Session of the Eighth National People's Congress (NPC) formally adopted the Ninth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the long-term goals for the year 2010, and rejuvenating the country through science and education became our basic national policy.

1: The 21st century is a century dominated by scientific and technological innovation. The new scientific and technological revolution represented by information technology, biotechnology, and nanotechnology is profoundly changing the traditional economic structure, production organization, and business model, and promoting a qualitative leap in the development of productive forces.2: Rejuvenating the country through science and education and building the country through science and technology is the consensus of the world. Since 2001, many countries and regions have introduced many new measures to accelerate the pace of scientific and technological innovation. Knowledge has become an important factor of production and an important factor in economic growth, and the strength and ability of science and technology increasingly determine the status and dignity of various countries in the global political and economic arena. 3: The essence of today's international competition is a contest of comprehensive national strength based on economic and scientific and technological strength; whether or not we can gain superiority in scientific and technological development and enhance our comprehensive national strength based on economy and science and technology will ultimately determine the country's status in the international arena, and international competition is, in the final analysis, a competition in science and technology and qualified personnel; scientific and technological progress and innovation are the decisive factors in enhancing comprehensive national strength; in modernization, science and technology are the key. The spirit of science is to emancipate the mind, Seeking truth from facts, constantly innovating, innovation is the soul of a nation's progress, is an inexhaustible driving force for a country's prosperity and development.
