Chapter 45: The Evolution of Civilization

Over Kyushu, Zhuzitang.

"Thank you very much this time. Li Er suddenly thanked Ye Long on the other side.

"If the Buddha Sect is allowed to split the Heavenly Court, it will not be easy for the poor Dao to explain to the Protoss in the future. After Ye Long replied, he continued to educate his own human race.

......

At the beginning, the debate between Li Er and Ye Long escalated, and just as the two were about to talk about force, a woman came in late, and the woman suddenly fell silent on the court.

Li Er looked at Nuwa Niangniang sitting directly beside him and Feng Ye, and couldn't help but say: "Niangniang has been in the world more and more times over the years. "In this human-religious dispute, Nuwa Niangniang came here other than to help Feng Ye support her.

"If there is nothing to worry about in the world, why should this palace run to the world three times and twice? Isn't it better to sit in the shrine and be at ease?" Nuwa waved the incense fan, covering her lips and said, "Since the two of you can't argue to the end, then let's actually shiyan!" Nuwa pointed at the incense fan, and the table in front of the three of them bloomed with colorful lotus flowers, and there was a shijie in the lotus heart evolving.

"This lotus shijie in the main palace evolved a group of human races, and the two of them used indoctrination methods to educate a part of the human race, let us take a look. Nuwa glanced at the sons of the hundred families: "Do you have any opinions?"

The princes shook their heads for a while, this Virgin Niangniang came out, as long as it was a school that respected filial piety, no one dared to refute Nuwa Niangniang's opinion. Moreover, Nuwa Niangniang can also represent the meaning of Fuxi bixia to a great extent, and many sects are spread from the Huoyun Cave, so naturally they will not oppose Nuwa Niangniang.

So Li Er and Ye Long also put their divine thoughts into this shijie, and used their own humane methods to educate the human race of this shijie.

"Listen. Which of them do you think is better?" asked Xiangxia, who was sitting in front of her right hand.

"It must be the master who wins!" Hearing this, he said without thinking: "The Taoist sage's way of enlightenment is certainly good, but we who have experienced the ancient times naturally understand that his method is not suitable for the use of the human race. ”

"Really?" Nuwa's gaze looked at Confucius on Xiangxia's side again: "Your teacher also mentioned your Confucianism to Honggong Duoduo, and the concept of benevolence is most compatible with Feng Ye, what do you think?"

Confucius came out and bowed: "Our Lady of Enlightenment, the teacher has words, and the people are benevolent." Only benevolence-oriented, filial piety, loyalty, and integrity. And forgiveness. Understanding etiquette is the quality that our human race should pursue. ”

Nuwa's eyes looked at Mozi again, and Mozi said: "The disaster of the human race is about fighting. Lust and war are the greatest bane of the human race. Therefore, our Mojia emphasizes 'love and non-attack'. The Taoist sage's way of non-action. Caring about desirelessness, is with my Mohist thoughts. "It's subtle, but it's also a support for Lear?

Nuwa is very idle. The two cultivators must not be able to distinguish the winner at this moment, so Nuwa asked one by one, and all the sons of the hundred schools were inclined to that side.

After Nuwa asked, she looked at Feng Ye meaningfully: "Fellow Daoist, although there are quite a few people who support you, there are also a few families on Li Er's side who agree, if you can't beat him here, this palace won't be able to help you speak."

After all, Feng Ye had experience, so it was relatively easy for him to educate the human race, as for Li Er, although he couldn't really do practical things, he hadn't killed a pig and hadn't seen a pig run?

It's just that Lao Tzu didn't spread the way of inaction at the beginning. Nonsense, the human race can't eat enough, what kind of pure and inaction, what kind of pure and inaction, are you embarrassed to preach? In this era of the pursuit of food and clothing, without a strong leader to gather the centripetal force of the tribe, the tribe is looking for death. Without the spirit of hard work, the people will not be able to survive at all. What is needed at this time is the desire to survive, how can it be possible to pursue what is self-conscious, what is needed at this time is unity.

But Feng Ye was different, at the very beginning he spread the benevolence among the human race. However, the Tao moves with the world, and the benevolence at this time is also different from the benevolence later. For example, some benevolence can be spread, such as respecting the elderly and loving the young, but some of them that are not suitable for this era can be temporarily abandoned. It's similar to cannibalism, which is accepted by the human race for survival in this era, but it is a perverse act in another era.

"So is it still the way of benevolence and virtue that is more suitable for the human race?" Zilu looked at this situation and said provocatively to the Taoists on the other side.

Zhuangzi, as the only Taoist figure of Li Er, responded directly: "Although Teacher Li Er's way of non-action has not really spread, isn't it also the realm of self-transformation of non-action in that human race? ”

However, if something happens to this person, it is easy for everyone to suffer because others cannot remedy it in time. Mencius interjected: "On the contrary, in the benevolent civilization of the Yelong Ancestors, because of the harmony between the tribes that respect the old and love the young, if something happens to one person, someone else will immediately try to remedy it. The way of man is originally seven emotions and six desires, and it is a bit too much to talk about humanity with the way of heaven. ”

Li Er and Ye Long didn't care how they argued, as the two of them continued to evolve into two human tribes, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly fell. The two deities also shifted their attention, and the liliang of the two incarnations here was weakened at the same time, and the evolved human race also slowed down. It wasn't until the dust finally settled that the Jade Emperor Daoist followed Hou Tu Niang Niang to reincarnate, Feng Ye's divine thoughts returned to the body, and Lao Tzu also took away his spiritual treasure, and the two people here continued to educate the human race, and it was at this time that Li Er took the time to thank Ye Long.

After that, after a few months, the two finally reluctantly developed the human race to the level of the original Xuanyuan era, that is, the era when they did not worry about food and clothing. It is only at this time that they can really use their ideas to truly educate the human race.

At this time, the gap between the two became apparent.

Li Er pursues the way of inaction, fights for himself without fighting, leniencies and simplification, and the monarch does nothing and all the people are self-governing. In other words, it is very loose, giving everyone a platform for development, and using everyone's nature to carry out autonomy. But in this way, it also requires everyone to manage spontaneously and consciously. Moreover, they need to perform their own duties, not interfere with others, and not neglect their own work. But because Mencius said, because the management is very loose, it is easy to have some problems, and there is a little less efficiency in doing things.

And because the human race pursues the way of purity and inaction, the requirements for inner satisfaction of desires are very small, so the development of material civilization has also slowed down. It's just that being gentle doesn't mean being conservative, and this civilization is still slowly advancing.

The way of benevolence and virtue of Feng Ye emphasizes reciprocal benevolence, the king treats all beings with kindness, and the people will also repay with loyalty, and govern the country with benevolence under Feng Ye's control. Although there is a strict law, it is based on benevolence. It will not cause a backlash.

Legalist Han Feizi couldn't help frowning when he saw the two civilizations, Li Er's inaction civilization emphasized leniency and simplification of government, and he looked at the legal system very loosely, so due to the imperfection of the system. Efficiency cannot be improved. And Fengye's civilization is strict in the legal system. But its core philosophy is benevolence. People-oriented, the so-called law of governing people is also based on benevolence, it can be said that there is no death penalty here in Fengye. These two concepts are not compatible with the concept of law driving. Han Feizi was also inexplicably worried about the future of the Legalist family.

However, Confucius was very interested in Feng Ye's rigorous system, although this system has the shadow of Legalism, but using benevolence as the foundation is to neutralize the harshness and ruthlessness of Legalism?

As for Nuwa's chin, she also began to compare the two civilizations: comparing the two developments, Li Er's inaction to rule the world developed steadily, and there were many fewer disputes because of less desire. The law of Fengye benevolence and virtue is certainly people-oriented, but it is not only the thought of Confucianism, but it is similar to the contention of a hundred schools of thought today.

In this way, he can also win over many students from hundreds of schools, but his civilization also has many drawbacks. Nuwa Yu pointed to the tea lid, and suddenly had an idea in her heart. Nuwa's finger reached into the teacup and flicked a drop of water into the lotus shijie, and when shijie received this drop of water, under the cover of Nuwa's divine power, it immediately rained heavily for ten days and ten nights, and the flood began.

After this great flood, the response of the two civilizations is also different. Fengye's benevolent civilization showed its advantages at this time, because of the tightness of the system, the efficiency was also revealed, and because this is a people-oriented civilization, it is the first place to save people. Under the command of the king, the entire dynasty put the elderly, children, and women in the first place in an orderly manner, and those in the prime of life were reserved for Zuihou.

No one has a rebuttal to this approach of the dynasty in this era of advocating benevolence. There will be no kind of people who disrespect the old and despise those young people at will by virtue of their own status, and those young people will not rely on their youth and vigor to point fingers at those old people. Respecting the old and loving the young can be said to be something that has been engraved in the bones of this civilization from the very beginning, and no one will have any objections to this matter at all.

The moral education here is not bad, Nuwa looked at Feng Ye and nodded with satisfaction. In contrast, Lao Tzu's inaction is not satisfactory. Due to the political leniency and clarity, when this kind of natural disaster comes, the imperial court cannot effectively prevent it at all, and it is autonomous on weekdays, and at this time, it is natural to count on self-transformation and self-help. It is true that the common people and officials perform their own duties, but as long as there is a problem in one link and cannot be remedied in time, it will immediately affect everyone. How can such a loose system fight against natural disasters?

What's even more outrageous is that at this time, there are actually some people who want to sit and wait for death, they are also smug, natural disasters are not also part of nature, so if the law of nature can be lived, then I can survive, and if the will of heaven can die, then it is useless to save myself?

Of course, these people are just fools who can't understand the true meaning of the way of non-action, but this also exposes a point that not everyone can fully understand the philosophical concept of the way of non-action. Many people interpret inaction as inaction, which is not a good thing for a civilization.

After Nuwa made a note of Li Er in her heart, she continued to watch the work after the disaster. Compared with the orderly civilization of benevolence and virtue, the civilization of Wuwei is indeed much worse in efficiency. From the inheritance of civilization alone, there are historians of the Rende civilization who specialize in recording history, and knowledge can be passed on soon, and the way of inaction is more important to learn the truth from nature, taking heaven and earth as a teacher, in terms of the preservation and inheritance of knowledge, Li Er is indeed inferior to Feng Ye, a traverser.

With the revival of the civilization of benevolence and virtue in an orderly manner, many things of the Wuwei civilization were destroyed in the flood, because of the emphasis on self-transformation of nature here, each performing its own duties. With the demise of those professionals, many people do not understand those industries, and can not be replaced immediately, the entire Wuwei civilization can be said to be a big step backwards, and the benevolent civilization due to the accumulation and inheritance of knowledge, and there are special school teaching, directly is a batch of talents dispatched to each post.

When Confucius and others saw the gap between the two civilizations, they couldn't help but understand it. It's not that Li Er's Tao is bad, it's that Li Er doesn't have Feng Ye's vision for later generations, and he doesn't do a good enough job for the preservation of civilization.

Compared with the various facilities and systems that Feng Ye studied according to later generations, from the beginning of the various schools, various vocational disciplines to deal with the various jobs that followed, Wuwei Civilization has rarely made progress in various systems because of purity and desirelessness.
