Chapter 443: On the Tao (3)
At this time, I saw a disciple of the Mo family who was about twenty years old, who came out of the crowd, walked up to the stage, hugged his fists to everyone, and said firmly: "All people in the world are equal and do not owe each other." Therefore, there is resentment to repay grievances, there is revenge to revenge, there is kindness to repay kindness, and there is virtue to repay virtue. After that, he ignored whether anyone asked questions, and turned around and returned directly to the senior brothers.
The audience was stunned, and forgot to question it for a while. But when he reacted, he felt that the other party's words couldn't be simpler, and they were clear and clear, and there was no doubt about it.
Among the hundreds of families, people who are familiar with the Mo family all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and said: "This son has won the true inheritance of Mo Dao." ”
Mohists advocate "speaking without doing more and being wise, and doing nothing for the text and doing things for inspection", believing that people should talk less, be wiser, decorate the text, and be good at discerning. Therefore, whether the Mohists speak or compose, they are never like other genres, or extravagant, or good at metaphors, but are straightforward and talk about things.
This way, though easy to understand. But it is too rustic, too hard and too straight, lacks emotional interest, and is difficult to engage.
Yes, after Xiao Yi listened to it, although he felt clean and very happy, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
However, the common people have limited words and prefer to be straightforward. Moreover, what the Mo family is looking for is a way to be happy and revenge, which is quite in line with the people's wishes, and it attracted colorful voices everywhere, and the people applauded.
It was only at this time that the people woke up from the dull discourse of Buddhism and Yin-Yang Buddhism.
Although Xiao Yi was slightly disappointed, he really understood the style of the Mo family, and he couldn't help but respect him.
Mojia Xuzhou, north of Xuzhou, is Qingzhou Confucianism.
Seeing that Confucianism was on the scene, Xiao Yi couldn't care less about continuing to think deeply about the way of Mohistism, and hurriedly focused his eyes on the direction of Confucianism.
The Confucian commentator is that Ji Xiaocheng. But seeing Ji Xiaocheng walking to the front of the stage, he made a square gesture and said loudly: "Everything in the world is nothing more than the words virtue and resentment." From the state to the neighborhood. Virtue is harmony, and resentment is opposite. Life ends with death, and the country ends with death, and it happens all the time. ”
After hearing the question of "repaying virtue and resentment", everyone was just thinking about "how to repay virtue and how to repay grievances", but Confucianism sublimated it to the level of exploring the road of home and country.
When everyone heard that he was reasonable, they all nodded their heads and thought to themselves: "In the final analysis, isn't life in the world just about dealing with virtue and resentment all the time? For the world, if it is good, everything will prosper, and if it is bad, the country will be chaotic and the country will collapse. All the consequences are caused by grievances. ”
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became interested and thought, "I don't know how Confucianism deals with this virtue and resentment?"
I only heard Ji Xiaocheng say: "A Confucian disciple once asked Sage Confucius this question, and Sage Confucius replied, 'Repay grievances with straightforwardness, and repay virtue with virtue'." Repay virtue with virtue, that is, the other party has virtue, and I will repay it with virtue. This is clear, and it goes without saying. As for what is 'repaying grievances with directness', outsiders do not know Confucianism, and for thousands of years, there have been many misunderstandings, so I will make a special trip to explain it today. ”
Hearing the Confucian theory, Chu Tianying, the yin and yang family, suddenly hugged his fist at Yu Linfeng. Yu Linfeng also hugged his fist and returned to it.
Xiao Yi saw the expressions of the two, and couldn't help but wonder: "Confucianism repays grievances with straightforwardness, overturning the Taoist theory of the Yin and Yang family repaying grievances with virtue, why is the Yin and Yang family still grateful to Confucianism?"
In fact, he didn't know that when the Confucian disciples asked Confucius Sage, there was another sentence, that is, "How can you repay grievances with virtue?" Confucius replied: "How can you repay grievances? ”
Confucius Shengren directly opposed repaying grievances with virtue, and if Ji Xiaocheng said the original words, it would be equivalent to publicly vetoing the Yin-Yang family's proposition. The people are ignorant and do not know what to guess. Confucianism put aside the previous sentence and directly discussed its own way, and did not deliberately humble others and respect itself, which shows the style of a gentleman. Chu Tian should be familiar with this matter, so he is naturally grateful.
At this time, without waiting for Ji Xiaocheng to explain, someone had already asked: "Repaying grievances with directness, isn't it just repaying grievances with grievances? Isn't it the same as the Mo family?"
Unknown people often think that 'repaying grievances with straightforwardness' is 'repaying grievances with grievances', and this misunderstanding has lasted for thousands of years.
Ji Xiaocheng glanced at the other party and said: "Repay grievances with straightforwardness, the so-called 'straight' person is also reasonable, righteous and moral." If it does not violate righteousness, it is called 'straight'. Repaying grievances with grievances is contrary to righteousness. Yes, repaying grievances with direct is different from repaying grievances with grievances. ”
The Taoism of all schools is different, and it is always impossible to take care of it. just gave the Yin and Yang family a favor, but the next sentence offended the Mo family.
As soon as the Mo family finished arguing, Ji Xiaocheng said that 'repaying grievances with grievances' was contrary to righteousness and tantamount to publicly denouncing the Mo family.
Throughout the ages, it has always been the Mo family that has criticized Confucianism, and today Confucianism in turn denigrates the Mo family, how can the Mo family be happy? I only heard the Mo Qianshou snort and said: "Nephew of the Ji family, this is a debate, not an argument, what do you mean by this?"
Ji Xiaocheng gave him a junior salute, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The junior is just talking about things, and there is no intention of belittling the Mo family. ”
Although the Mohists are not in harmony with Confucianism, it is Confucianism's turn to discuss the Tao, and at this time, the argument is out of place, and I am afraid that it will be laughed at and generous. Moreover, Ji Xiaocheng took the gift of the juniors, which was also regarded as giving him face. Mo Qianshou snorted and stopped talking.
I only heard Ji Xiaocheng continue: "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is certainly pleasant. However, this kind of way of repaying grievances is not only not conducive to resolving grievances, but also makes grievances deeper and deeper. When is the time for the so-called retribution? In this way, the grievances will never end, and people will also be tormented by grievances forever. ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded silently, and recovered from the refreshment of the Mo family's "repaying grievances with grievances".
But seeing that the disciples of the Mo family were blushing, they were quite unhappy. In this conference, Confucianism always appeared after the Mohists, which made the Mohists quite helpless.
At this time, some people asked in confusion: "Since you can't repay grievances with grievances, what does it mean to 'repay grievances with straightforwardness'?"
Ji Xiaocheng smiled slightly and replied: "Repay grievances directly, that is, treat grievances with a fair and upright attitude." The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. With regard to grudges, one must not repay one's grievances and make them worse, and the other must not tolerate and condone them and be forced to endure them. Punishment should be supplemented by punishment and punishment should be given in moderation. ”
Xiao Yixin said: "Confucianism advocates righteousness and benevolence, and on top of virtue and grievances, it has indeed achieved the way of righteousness." ”
After listening to the ways of several families in a row, they are not only different from each other, but also contradictory, and each has its own reason, not to mention that ordinary people are at a loss, even Xiao Yi is also dizzy, and he doesn't know whose way to follow.
Confucianism said, according to the distribution of the nine major schools, it should be the turn of the famous masters. At this time, I heard a person say in a loud voice: "Heaven is far away, humanity is far away, and the things of the world, regardless of morality and grievances, should be judged by the law!"
Xiao Yi laughed when he heard this: "I forgot this Han brother. ”
The location of the Legalist Han Li is just in the north of Confucianism and the south of the famous family. Moreover, Xiao Yi took a closer look, and found that there were still several schools between Confucianism and the famous two families who had the qualifications to discuss the Tao, and if they wanted to listen to the famous scholars, they had to wait for a while.
