Chapter 444: On the Tao (4)

Xiao Yi once had a night conversation with the Legalist Han Li, and he was proficient in the way of the Legalist, so he didn't need to listen to it, and he knew how Han Li would talk about it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When he turned around, he suddenly saw an intriguing smile on the faces of Changjing Zhenren and the others, and he was slightly surprised in his heart and asked why.

But he listened to Changjing's true humanity: "The Yin and Yang family is not enough, and the three families of Mo, Confucianism, and Law have successively discussed the Tao, which is quite suspicious of looking for trouble." The predecessors set this order, and I don't know if it was intentional. ”

The Changqing Taoist smiled: "If Confucianism is changed in front of the Mo family, it will be even more interesting." ”

Changjing Zhenren waved his hand and said: "If that's the case, it will be wonderful when discussing the Tao, but it may deepen the contradictions between the three families, which is really not advisable." ”

Xiao Yi was even more puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "The disciples already know a little about the affairs of the two Confucian and Mo families, but what is the relationship between the Legalists and the Confucian and Mo families?"

The Changqing Taoist said: "Ten thousand years ago, the Legalists were in power and above the hundred schools. However, in the later period, due to the excessive advocacy of severe punishment, it gradually caused dissatisfaction in the world. Among the hundred schools, there are naturally not a few opponents, and the best of them are the two Confucian and Mo families. Confucianism criticized the Legalists in their articles, while the Mohists directly undermined the legal system by force. To this day, there is still this sentence in the world, 'Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban', which comes from the mouth of the ancestors of the Legalist family. ”

The ink man is also known as the ink man, and the word 'chivalry' refers to the Mo family.

Xiao Yi was stunned when he heard this: "The way of the three families is contradictory, let them talk about the Tao next to each other, don't you know that you are stirring up trouble?"

The Changqing Taoist said: "The hundred schools of thought have always been-for-tat, pointing directly at the opponent's dead hole to attack. Otherwise, how can we promote the continuous progress of each school and form a situation in which a hundred schools of thought contend?"

Xiao Yi was instructed and said, "What the master said is extremely true, but the disciple is narrow-minded. ”

Sure enough, I only listened to Na Han's mouth and kept accusing Mo Ru of his malpractice. The Mohists "repay grievances with grievances", and Confucianism has just pointed out its impropriety. Supposedly, Confucianism also advocates the use of laws and regulations to repay grievances, similar to the Legalists' decision according to law. However, Han Li still disagreed, believing that those who complained should be punished severely.

Legalists believe that human nature is inherently evil, and if it is not punished severely, it will not have a deterrent effect, and the world will never be able to sever hatred. Only by deterring with heavy punishment can we prevent future troubles.

Moreover, the Legalists are also dissatisfied with "repaying virtue with virtue", saying: "Virtue is divided into light and heavy, thick and thin, people give me virtue, and I also treat virtue as virtue, which seems to be fair, but in fact, the two virtues are by no means equal, and it is not fair." There is no such thing as a perfect equal, and it is just right to reciprocate. People give thick, and I give thin. I said, virtue is reciprocated. But people don't think so, thinking that virtue is more than enough, and it has not yet been reported. In this way, virtue may be transformed into resentment. If a man gives thin, I will give him a generous amount. But I feel that it is unfair, and it is the same. Therefore, the retribution of virtue should also be in accordance with the law. And reward according to law, and advocate the world to be virtuous. In the long run, everyone will be virtuous, and the world will be peaceful. ”

When Xiao Yi heard this, he nodded slightly, and said in his heart: "This statement is somewhat similar to what is said in the Tao Te Ching, 'and great grievances, there must be residual grievances'. ”

Han Li spoke quite wonderfully, but the people were a little unfamiliar with the way of the Legalists after all, and it was difficult to understand it for a while. In particular, it is even more difficult to agree with the theory of heavy reward, and they all think: "Relying on heavy reward to advocate the world to be virtuous, can such 'virtue' still be called 'virtue'?

"If the law is used to punish the sin, the people will die without complaining, and if the law is used to measure the merits, the people will be rewarded but not virtuous." ”

Therefore, when he left the speech, most of the people were still thinking and meditating, and the applause was sparse and not enthusiastic.

Han Li shook his head in lamentation, rather frustrated.

After listening to the way of Legalism again, Xiao Yi was amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter what happens, there must be only one correct solution. If you repay virtue and grievances, there must only be one correct way to repay it.

However, after listening to several schools, several ways appeared, and each of them was quite reasonable and irrefutable.

Buddhism cultivates the mind, chooses to accept the opposite, and influences the other party with kindness; Yin and Yang family repay grievances with virtue and curb hatred with virtue; Mohists repay grievances with grievances, and are happy to be revenge, regardless of the consequences; Confucianism uses direct revenge and treats them fairly, and is impartial; Legalists make decisions with law, deter them with heavy punishments, and prevent future troubles, and so on.

"Which is the best way?" Xiao Yi frowned, unable to figure it out.

The land of Qingyan is one of the birthplaces of ancient culture, so between Confucianism and Mingjia, there are many unknown schools.

After Han Li, several families came forward to discuss the Tao and teach the method of repaying virtue and resentment, but none of the methods they talked about could get rid of the four ways of yin and yang, Confucianism, ink, and law, and they were similar, and there was nothing worth pondering.

Among them, the soldier talked about it and said a word, but Xiao Yi was secretly shocked when he heard it, and he thought it was so that he kept it in his heart.

The soldier said: "The soldier pays attention to knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent. Before repaying grievances, you should think clearly about whether what the other party has done is morality or grievances? Perhaps, the grievances in your heart are just the unintentional actions of the other party, and you don't care about them at all. In this way, how can we talk about repaying virtue and resentment?"

If the grievances are not established, then the way discussed by the schools of thought is meaningless.

At this time, Xiao Yi's mind was already complicated, and it was difficult to sort it out for a while, but he couldn't help but sigh at the vastness of Chinese culture. At the same time, I was also quite looking forward to the following schools' discussions, and said in my heart: "I don't know what kind of unique opinions the rest of the schools can come up with?"

But when he saw that the famous commentator was Na Huitong, he couldn't help frowning, and his disgust suddenly grew, and he said in his heart: "What kind of avenue can a person with bad conduct say?"

Just listen to the Hui channel: "If the name is not right, the words are not good." Before discussing retribution for grievances, we should clarify what is virtue and what is grievances."

Famous experts actually raised objections on the division of morality and grievances, believing that there should be a standard for morality and grievances. Otherwise, how to reciprocate, how to reward and punish? Perhaps, the other party was originally giving virtue, but was misunderstood, and should be reciprocated.

This is quite similar to what the soldier said. However, soldiers rely on observation to guess the intentions of the other party, but famous artists have to name virtue and grievance, and set standards for virtue and grievance. In this way, with standards to follow, the problem of repaying virtue and grievances is simple and easy to solve.

As the famous man said: if there is a name, it will be governed, and if there is no name, it will be chaotic. And there is a lot of truth in what he said.

Finally, Hui Channel: "In the world, when righteous people use evil laws, evil laws are good, and evil people use righteous laws, and righteous laws are evil." In the same way, those who are virtuous are resentful, and grievances are virtues, and those who are not virtuous are virtuous, and virtue is also grievances. Therefore, the world must first correct the name of virtue and grievance, and only after the name is corrected can we talk about how to repay each other. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded and said: "Yes, there is no distinction between virtue and grievance, whether it is to repay grievances with kindness, to repay grievances with virtue, to repay grievances with straightforwardness, or to repay grievances with grievances, or to repay grievances with law, they are all castles in the air, and they can't be done accurately."
