"To do or not to do", this is the fundamental difference between Confucianism and Taoism.

There are three reasons why Taoism advocates "non-action":

In the past, there was nothing to do, the Tao did nothing but the virtue did to do, and the sky did nothing and people did it.

Therefore, the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism is also the dispute between ancient and modern, the dispute between morality, and the dispute between heaven and man.

The rights and wrongs of Confucianism and Taoism also lie in this.

This time, the debate between Zhao Rong and Tao Yuanran focused on these three points.

Zhao Rong and Tao Yuanran competed against each other.

Zhao Rong: "If you are not virtuous, the people will not fight, if you are not expensive and rare, so that the people will not be stolen, and if you don't see what you want, so that the people's hearts will not be confused." It is the rule of the saints, which often makes the people ignorant and desireless, and makes the husband dare not do it. If you do nothing, you will not be cured. ”

Tao Yuanran: "The gentleman is safe and does not forget the danger, survives without forgetting the death, governs without forgetting the chaos, is that the gentleman will do something, will have action, ask and speak, and his order is also the same, there is no distance and depth, so he knows the coming things, not the best in the world, who can be with this?"

Zhao Rong: "There are many taboos in the world, and the people are poor; there are many people with sharp weapons, and the country is faint; there are many people with tricks, and strange things arise; laws and regulations are flourishing, and there are many thieves." Therefore I do nothing, and the people are self-reliant, I am quiet, and the people are upright, I have nothing to do, and the people are rich, I have no desire, and the people are simple. ”

Tao Yuanran: "......"

......

Offstage, Lin Wenruo listened attentively to the arguments on the stage, stared at the two people on the stage, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the Qing debate began, Lin Wenruo was very worried, especially after learning that Zhao Rong's opponent was a Taoist gentleman, even more so, and even had the illusion that he had lost the ending, but now seeing that Zhao Rong did not fall behind at the beginning, he couldn't help but let go of his hanging heart a little, at least there was hope!

And the more Lin Wenruo listened, the more surprised he became, he found that Zhao Rong had outstanding eloquence, and he was even more comfortable with Taoist classics, which he did understand, knowing that Zhao Rong had a good memory, but he didn't expect that he had studied Taoism on weekdays, and it seemed that it was not just as simple as reading it hastily.

On the other side of the venue, where the audience was, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Isn't this conversation one-sided?

This is very different from what they expected.

Qingjingzi's face was a little ugly, although he was not good at clear arguments, but he knew this matter very well, and this kind of stalemate between the two sides on the field only explained one point.

The arguments of the two on the field are almost the same, and they can't defeat each other immediately, so they can only see which side shows the loophole first, turns passive, and finally loses.

Qingjingzi glanced at Qingyuanzi and found that the other party was staring at the scholar on the stage who he had been looking down on before, with an expression of some incredulity.

Kiyoko suddenly felt a sense of happiness.

Fortunately, Qing Yuanzi did not choose this Zhao Ziyu in the second game, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

At this time, the battle between the two on the stage gradually heated up.

Zhao Rong has always grasped the viewpoint of "doing nothing, but doing nothing", believing that a gentleman should govern the country with the principle of "ruling by doing nothing", and if he does not take the initiative to provoke wars, the country will not be disastrous, and the people will naturally become rich.

If a gentleman who governs the country has no desire, the people will naturally be simple.

And it is stated that "if you govern a big country, you must cook a small fresh", don't use a shovel to stir as soon as you get out of the pot, otherwise the meat will be crumbled. By extension, to govern a large country, it means not to disturb the people, not to be troublesome, and not to change orders overnight.

In short, only by doing nothing can we do everything.

Tao Yuanran, on the other hand, strongly opposed it, believing that the premise of "rule by inaction" is that the officials and the people consciously abide by it, or they are anti-intellectual, so that the people are stupid and desireless, and obey the command of the ruler like a lamb, otherwise "inaction" means inaction, and the country will become more and more chaotic.

These premises are idealistic, so they are not valid.

And he believes that when a gentleman governs the country, he must do something, that is, he must "be promising", he must stand up and do something, no matter whether the result is good or bad, he must do something.

Zhao Rong clenched his fist on his leg with one hand, and put the jade in front of his abdomen with the other, his eyes were focused, and his words were scorching.

At the beginning of the Qing debate, Tao Yuanran, who had been turning the rosary, had stopped moving his hands and looked at the Confucian in front of him more and more seriously.

Both of them are skillful and fierce, and no one will let them do anything.

Zhao Rong: "Do nothing, teach without words, don't want to be quiet, the world will be self-determined"

Tao Yuanran: "How do you do it?"

Zhao Rong: "The sage said, humble its heart, solid its belly, weak its will, strong its bones." The top is like a standard branch, and the people are like a wild deer. ”

Tao Yuanran: "According to what you do, there is no father and no king, you are a beast! The world is in turmoil, since you started!"

After that, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse!

Lin Wenruo in the audience frowned, looked at the stage, and Tao Yuanran, who was aggressive after gaining momentum, had a bad premonition.

Tao Yuanran's tone was scorching, "You said, do nothing and do nothing, and then you will go first; This is completely focused on the gains and losses of personnel, and completely in dealing with power and conspiracy. ”

He also said: "It is the beginning of the actual utilitarianism, the power of the arts, the trace of fraud, he grasps nature and plays with it, pretending to do nothing, and his heart is deliberate, then he wants to do everything." ”

Tao Yuanran focused his attack on Zhao Rong's conclusion of "doing nothing and doing nothing" on the three words "doing nothing", and attributed Zhao Rong's views to conspiracy theories and power theories.

He used ingenious logic to misinterpret Zhao Rong's views, making Zhao Rong's previous dialectic untenable and self-contradictory.

Zhao Rong suddenly paused, frowned sharply, leaned forward, and placed the hand holding the jade plate heavily on the table.

Zhao Rong was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to justify.

His heart jumped suddenly, thinking that the rule of clear defense was that he could not pause for more than three breaths, and hurriedly answered when he caught a glimpse of the 61 monk preparing to speak.

It's just that in a hurry, I can only try to be vague and sophistry in an attempt to divert the focus.

But Tao Yuanran was unforgiving, and he clung to the loophole just now.

Suddenly, the situation on the stage changed suddenly, and Zhao Rong began to be passive, becoming more and more unable to support it.

In the debate, being passive means not far from defeat!

Lin Wenruo in the audience clenched his fists, his fingertips sank into the flesh of his palm, and he stared at Zhao Rong with bated breath.

On the other side, Qing Yuanzi, who had a tense face, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and laughed silently.

Qingjingzi on the side shouted hello, looked at a certain furnace in the crowd opposite, only felt that it was within reach, and then looked at the young Confucian who was pausing and stumbling on the stage, with cruel eyes.

Zhao Rong barely supported it, coping with Tao Yuanran's "attack", thinking about countermeasures with two hearts.

His right hand was pressed against the table, and the milky white jade card in his palm continued to emit a hot feeling, just like his heart at this time.

Zhao Rong felt that he had fallen into a very strange state, he clearly felt where the theory to resolve the loophole just now was, but it was indescribable!

It's like sometimes, one second you're thinking about something, the next you're forgetting it, and then you know it's there, but it's hard to remember it no matter how you think about it.

Zhao Rong also fell into this strange state at the moment.

I forgot to argue.

The situation became more and more crisis, and suddenly, as Tao Yuanran let out a sonorous and powerful shout, Zhao Rong paused again and was speechless.

At this moment, Zhao Rong felt as if time had slowed down, he looked at the burning eyes of the old man in front of him in a daze, and saw himself reflected in it, he could feel that time was passing rapidly, like countless flying swords that were far away, passing from both sides of his face, he knew that if he didn't have three more breaths, he would lose, lose his dignity, lose the lives of his friends, lose the ancestral foundation of the Lanxi Lin clan for seven hundred years, and lose ...... That stupid girl.

Under the pressure of this mountain-like burden, he suddenly wanted to give up everything and bowed his head and admitted defeat......

No way!

He shouted in his heart, like a sealed beast in the abyss, tearing apart the chains of eternity.

His teeth clenched the tip of his tongue, the sweet smell of blood hitting his taste buds, the tingling pain tearing at his nerves, telling him of the existence of consciousness.

No, Lao Tzu didn't lose!

Zhao Rong turned his head to avoid the old man's gaze for a short time, took a deep breath, and was about to continue his sophistry while looking for the key in his mind, but at this time, his eyes just caught a glimpse of everyone in the audience.

There is Su Xiaoxiao, who clenched his fist and bit his lip, looking up at him like a prayer.

There is a pale-faced Lin Qingxuan.

There is Chen Muzhi who is slumped in his seat and has a blank look.

And also...... Lin Wenruo, whose face was red and his eyes were open.

He even saw Qing Yuanzi, who was holding his hands and looking at him with a smile on his face......

Wait a minute!

Qing Yuanzi!

A flash of spiritual light flashed through Zhao Rong's mind like lightning, like the first light of dawn, piercing through the endless darkness.

I remembered that it was "the body uses one source to say"!

It is the second Qing talk just now, and Qing Yuanzi threw out the "nothing-oriented" regardless of the "body with one source theory" involved!

His eyes were wide open, like a thousand-year-old dark room, and he lit an orange fire in vain.

The light is on.

Seeing that the three breaths had arrived, the 61 layman sighed slightly in his heart and said, "I ......"

Before he could fully utter the tone of his first word, he suddenly paused, because the Confucian had already spoken out, and the two began to argue again.

The Monk shook his head slightly.

Zhao Rong has the bottom in his heart, steady, although he is still at a disadvantage and extremely passive, but his momentum is not falling, gradually climbing, at a certain moment, when Tao Yuanran once again grabbed his previous loopholes, the corners of his mouth unconsciously grinned, and he threw out the "body with one source theory" in a deep voice.

Zhao Rong said: "The most subtle is reasonable, and the author is like, and the body is used as a source, and the microscopic is ......."

And when Zhao Rong was meticulously starting to narrate, there was some commotion in the audience.

It's just that you've been falling down before, and you may still have a chance to turn around, but after just stopping for so long, it's obvious that you can't support the word poverty, and even if the 61 layman is stricter, he can directly sentence you to lose, and you are still quibbling now.

None of them are white, they have all been to the debate, and they know what this situation means.

It's useless, it's in vain, it's just a struggle to the death.

The audience couldn't help but burst into a lot of shameful laughter, as if they had found that the overall situation had been decided, and many viewers exchanged heads and discussions, and from time to time they looked at the Lanxi Lin family in the audience with pity or pity, or indifferent and playful looks.

There are even some people who are good friends with the Lanxi Lin clan who have begun to secretly leave the table, and they can't bear to look at the fate of the Lanxi Lin clan after the debate between Confucianism and Taoism is over.

And there are still some of these people, who are secretly glad in their hearts that when Chong Xuguan clashed with the Lanxi Lin clan before, they did not stand in line at the first time and surrender their names, but waited and watched until now, otherwise it is estimated that they will not be able to get out of this Taibai Mountain today.

As for the audience, those who originally supported Chongxuguan and had the same interests as Chongxuguan, and those who were neutral between the two parties, they couldn't help but look at the audience in awe and eagerly cast their eyes on the group of Chongxuguan.

They are almost certain to be the victors of the day.

On the stage, when Zhao Rong meticulously demonstrated to the seventh sentence, Tao Yuanran, who was originally calm, suddenly gathered two white eyebrows in the middle, this was the first time he frowned today.

Zhao Rong's words are non-stop: "In terms of self-care, it is used in the body, and the so-called 'one source' is also; in terms of self-image, it is obvious and subtle, and the so-called 'infernal' is also ......."

A philosophical proposition that has never appeared in this world is slowly coming out of the mouth of the young Confucian in front of him, and every word, like a building block, is building a magnificent castle, although it is not yet finished, but the momentum is already majestic.

The Liuyi monk who watched the debate between the two from the side was a little absent-minded, in his opinion, the last debate in front of him had reached the final stage, as long as Tao Yuanran did not deliberately ......

The old man with the wine gourd on his waist suddenly interrupted his thoughts, because he heard the young Confucian in front of him, who was already crumbling, throwing out a strange statement.

He put down the wine gourd in his hand, his eyes gradually attracted by the young Confucian student, and he took a few steps forward, listening word for word.

At the same time, somewhere in the audience has begun to be lively, a place of jubilation.

Qingjingzi, who was standing at the forefront of all the Taoist priests, was looking at the high platform with a smile on his face, but his mind was no longer on it, but he was thinking about how to draw a gorgeous end to this Confucianism and Taoism debate.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to turn his head to search for Lin Wenruo's figure, wanting to see what the expression of the man who was suffering from the situation of losing but not losing at this time was.

It's just that when Qingjingzi turned his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qingyuanzi's face beside him, and suddenly something was wrong, and he couldn't help but follow his gaze, it was still on the stage.

"What's wrong?" said Kiyoko casually.

That yellow-haired boy is still playing tricks with strong words? Hehe, too, when he walks out of the scripture platform, he will never have a chance to speak again......

Qing Yuanzi's smile had slowly converged, his face condensed, and he didn't answer Qing Jingzi's question for the first time.

Seeing Qing Yuanzi like this, Qingjingzi felt a pang in his heart, and quickly looked at the stage.

"What the hell is this kid talking about?

When the young Confucian on the stage argued loudly to the thirteenth sentence.

Qing Yuanzi, who humbly listened to many unbelievable debates in a certain holy place of learning in the world, suddenly took a deep breath and licked his dry lips.

"This seems to be somewhat similar to the 'nothing-based' expensive thing...... He, what the hell is he going to do?"

The next second, he touched his beard's hand, almost ripped his beard off, and there was an incredible look in his eyes, "Should it be ......?"

Impossible, impossible! How can there be such a theory? Crazy madman!

Qingjingzi breathed when he saw this, he still didn't understand what the young Confucian was saying for the time being, but for a moment, he felt as if the sunlight had disappeared around him, and it was dark, as if it was ...... Something terrible is coming.

"What is Ziyu doing?" asked Chen Muzhi on the other side of the venue in a daze.

"The body is used in one source, and the microscope is seamless?" Lin Wenruo, whose eyes were bloodshot, stared intently at the stage, and for a second, his pupils contracted slightly, and a trace of disbelief flashed, "Should Ziyu use this theory to directly unify "Wu Wei" and "Wu Wei" into one...... Directly argue his view of "doing nothing and doing nothing", right?"

When Zhao Rong recounted to the twenty-first sentence in a deep voice, meticulously constructing the building called "Body with One Source Theory" to more than half of it, the noisy noise of the audience had gradually subsided, and some people in the crowd opened their eyes and slapped their legs from time to time.

At this time, more than seventy percent of the people in the scripture platform understood what the young Confucian on the stage was going to do, and they began to hold their breath and concentrate, not daring to make a noise, as for the other people who had not yet understood, even if they were at a loss, they also understood something from the expressions of the people around them.

"Words are born from images, images are born from meaning, images are born with images, and images are ...... with words"

Zhao Rong blurted out what he was thinking in his heart, the more he talked, the more excited he became, leaning forward, his eyes with strong aggression, like a young Jiao who had just poked its head out of the black pool.

The Liuyi monk had been listening carefully since just now, and his eyes gradually lit up, at this time, he suddenly sighed, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand to the wine gourd on his waist, but he suddenly paused halfway through it, and withdrew his hand stupidly.

He stared at Zhao Rong with a shocked gaze whose spiritual qi was completely different from before,

This Confucian scholar actually put forward a theory that he had never heard of, which was about "body" and "use". They refer to ontology and function.

It is generally believed that the "body" is the most fundamental and essential. "Use" is the external manifestation and appearance of "body".

At the beginning, the argument of the young Confucian scholars, in which "Wu Wei" is the body and "Wu Wei" is used, are separated, and they will be divided into levels, and they will become the relationship between primary and secondary, fundamental and subordinate.

This is also a place that has been misinterpreted and criticized by Tao Yuanran, and it is a fatal loophole.

Nowadays, the young Confucian scholars have put forward the theory that "the body is used in the body, and the body is used in the body, and the predicate is the source of the body", and the logic is self-consistent, reasonable and well-founded.

If the body uses the one-source theory to unify the ontology and its phenomena, then the unity between "non-action" and "non-action" can also be unified.

There is no subordinate relationship between non-action and non-action, and non-action itself is a kind of action.

Then Tao Yuanran can't distort Zhao Rong's argument, focus on "doing everything", and accuse it of power!

And the "body with one source theory" is on the side, which strongly proves Zhao Rong's argument of "doing nothing and doing nothing"!

This brand-new theory gave him a far more shock than the second Qing Talk, Qing Yuanzi's "nothing-based" is expensive, and even he faintly found that the "body with one source theory" can better debate the "debate of existence and non-existence" in the previous one!

At this time, Tao Yuanran, who was still aggressive not long ago, had already been overwhelmed, and the rosary in his hand stopped again and was grabbed hard.

He began to abandon the loopholes that he had been grasping before, trying not to entangle with Zhao Rong anymore, and couldn't wait to escape from this whirlpool that was about to be anti-guest-oriented, but Zhao Rong reversed the host-guest and chased after him.

Active and passive, advantages and disadvantages have been dramatically reversed in an instant.

Slowly, the old man of Nanhua became more and more unsupportive, and even was silent for two breaths by Zhao Rong's pursed lips halfway before continuing to speak strongly.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Rong's spiritual qi has climbed to the extreme, as if the next moment it will burst out of his eyes and turn into a sword!

There was light in his eyes, and his voice was like a golden stone on the ground, sonorous and powerful, covering the last cornerstone of the edifice of "Body with One Source Theory".

"For nothing, nothing to do, tasteless ......"

"Solid, do nothing and do nothing!"

Suddenly, the old man of Nanhua was silent.

In fact, he could continue to argue and delay, but there was no point in it.

Because, he knew that he had lost, and he had lost in the "Body with One Source Theory" that shocked his heart just now, and the last time he could feel this was the remarks of the Mojia Mo Debate in the Jixia School Palace twenty years ago.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

The winner is decided!

At this time, the audience was silent.

Countless eyes fell on the two of them.

There were thousands of people in the audience, but it was silent.

The Taoist gentleman suddenly got up and performed an ancient salute to the young Confucian in front of him, which was a unique etiquette in the Jixia School Palace.

The old man of Nanhua scarf said again.

"In the lower Tao Yuanran. ”

The young Confucian stood up and returned the salute.

"Under Zhao Ziyu. ”
