Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

After Prince Fusu's various sentences about"people can be made to follow it but not to know it" came out on the sky curtain, not only"Zhang Cang" on the sky curtain panicked, but also Zhang Cang under the sky curtain, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors panicked.

Confucianism, as one of the most prominent schools among the Hundred Schools of Thought, can be said to be one of the schools with the largest number of scholars in the world.

And after more people learn, it is normal for different people to learn the same words of sages and then have different opinions.

If the sages are still alive, there will be no big problem.

As long as the sages make a fair judgment based on the understanding of different scholars.

It means that one of the understandings is true and correct, and the other ideas are wrong.

Then after a moment of chaos, the wrong understandings of other scholars will slowly disappear, leaving only the correct understanding of the words of the sages.

However, when the sages are dead and only leave their own words and works to be passed down, facing the different understandings of the words of the sages by subsequent scholars, they may even be wrong understandings.

Sages cannot get up from their graves and loudly rebuke a certain scholar for his wrong understanding of his words.

So in this case, who can determine which scholar's understanding of the words of the sages is correct and which scholar's understanding of the words of the sages is wrong?

The answer is no one!

And if no one can be sure, then can two or even more scholars who have different understandings of the words of the sages convince the other party or even several other parties through debate?

The answer is almost impossible!

The possibility of destroying the other party by physical means and making it impossible for the other party to refute oneself is greater than the possibility of making it impossible for the other party to refute oneself through reasoning and debate.

Therefore, based on the different understandings of Confucius' words and works in the past, subsequent Confucian scholars gradually had differences.

Then no Confucian scholar could convince anyone, so Confucianism gradually split into eight factions, namely:

""The Confucianism of Zi Zhang, the Confucianism of Zi Si, the Confucianism of Yan family, the Confucianism of Meng family, the Confucianism of Qi Diao family, the Confucianism of Zhong Liang family, the Confucianism of Sun family, and the Confucianism of Le Zheng family."

These eight factions have different principles of behavior and ideas.

For example, the"Confucianism of Zi Zhang" formed by Zi Zhang, a disciple accepted by Confucius in his later years.

He advocated that"a scholar should sacrifice his life when he sees danger, think of righteousness when he sees gain, think of respect when he offers sacrifices, and think of sorrow when he mourns." He clearly opposed"not upholding virtue and not believing in the Tao firmly.""，""People and things that are not faithful in words and not respectful in actions."

And it has the characteristics of loving and tolerant, strict with oneself and lenient with others.

From a certain perspective, Zi Zhang's Confucianism is closer to Mohist thought.

Or it can be said that Zi Zhang's Confucianism is one of the Confucian thoughts that is more influenced by Mohist thought.

Xunzi also severely criticized"Zi Zhang's Confucianism" in his"Against the Twelve Philosophers", calling them"cheap Confucianism."

Therefore, the Confucian scholars of Zi Zhang's Confucianism were very dissatisfied with Xunzi, as well as the Confucian scholars of Sun's Confucianism where Xunzi belonged. For example, Sun's Confucianism, represented by Xunzi.

In political thought, it developed Confucius's ritual studies and advocated the combination of ritual and law; in philosophy, it advocated the distinction between heaven and man, and the control of destiny and its use; it believed that human nature is evil, and those who are good are false, and emphasized the importance of acquired learning.

Among Sun's Confucianism, The most famous disciples who inherited Xunzi's Confucian classics are Han Fei and Li Si.

However, the two of them have broken through the boundaries of their teacher Xunzi's Confucian school and become representatives of the Legalists.

In addition, the ideas advocated by Sun's Confucianism are far from the"benevolence" of Confucius, so the other seven Confucian schools do not recognize Sun's Confucianism. There are even some Confucian scholars with fierce words who regard Xunzi and Sun's Confucianism as traitors and villains of Confucianism, and undercovers deliberately inserted into Confucianism by the Legalists!

Well, most of these Confucian scholars with fierce words are Confucian scholars from the Meng's Confucian school.

Meng's Confucianism is represented by Mencius.

He developed Confucius's benevolence thought, put forward the theory that human nature is good, and the political ideals of implementing benevolent government and the kingly way, as well as the people-oriented thought that the people are more important than the monarch.

Among them, Mencius's""The theory of human nature is good" and Xunzi's"theory of human nature is evil" are diametrically opposed, and are the two extremes of human nature.

This has led to the diametrical opposition between the two Confucian scholars, the Mencius Confucianism and the Sun Confucianism. It can be said that no one can stand the other. When these two Confucian scholars meet, they will spray each other at the lightest and fight each other at the worst, which is also a very normal thing.

Since there are the Mencius Confucianism and the Sun Confucianism who go to the two extremes of human nature, there are naturally the Qi Diao Confucianism who advocate that human nature has both good and evil. The

Qi Diao Confucianism is represented by Qi Diao Kai, Qi Diao Duo, and Qi Diao Tu Fu.

In terms of their views on human nature, they advocate that human nature has both good and evil, and that people are not swayed or fleeing. If they act crookedly, they will violate the slaves, and if they act straight, they will anger the princes. The rulers of the world think they are honest and treat them with courtesy; they are unwilling to be officials and like to be brave and chivalrous.

To put it bluntly, this school follows the line of chivalry and Confucian chivalry.

Similarly, From another perspective, the Confucianism of Qi Diao is also a school that is more influenced by Mohism.

Because the Chu Mo School in Mohism also takes the route of knight-errantry, and acts as a knight-errant.

If the three Confucian scholars, such as the Confucianism of Meng, the Confucianism of Sun, and the Confucianism of Qi Diao, meet and debate together, they will often debate halfway, and then the Confucianism of Meng and the Confucianism of Sun will join hands and first beat the Confucianism of Qi Diao, who is considered to be a fence-sitter by the scholars of the two schools.

Then the Confucianism of Meng and the Confucianism of Sun cannot convince each other with reason, and then they will stage a full fight. The school that stands at the end will temporarily win this"debate" about the good and evil of human nature. The

Confucian scholars of the school that fell to the ground secretly swore in their hearts that they must go back and practice the art of shooting and charioteering of gentlemen to be stronger, and strive to avenge their hatred when they meet next time.

In addition to the Confucianism of Zi Zhang, Meng, Qi Diao, and Sun, all of which have different ideological propositions, the remaining Confucianism of Zi Si, Yan, Zhong Liang, and Le Zheng also have their own unique ideological propositions.

It can be said that if a big debate is held within Confucianism, then the other schools of thought do not need to do anything, just move their stools to eat melons and watch the show.

The Confucian scholars of these eight schools will find that no one can convince anyone in the middle of the debate, and then they will fight each other in anger.

The reason why the eight Confucian schools can still maintain the name of"Confucianism" peacefully and jointly is all due to the threats brought by other schools of thought outside Confucianism, especially the Legalists and Mohists.

If one day Confucianism is the only one in the world and the other schools of thought are gone, then Confucianism will be divided into eight on the spot, and then a"debate of eight schools" will be staged within Confucianism.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After the Western Han Dynasty"rejected all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", Confucianism began its internal"survival of the fittest".

After thousands of years of excluding"heresies", the Confucianism of Zi Zhang, the Confucianism of Qi Diao, the Confucianism of Zi Si, the Confucianism of Yan, the Confucianism of Zhong Liang, and the Confucianism of Le Zheng were eliminated one after another.

Then the Confucianism of Sun and Meng refuted, competed, communicated, and merged with each other for thousands of years. In the end, the Confucianism of Sun, which obviously had the thoughts of Legalism, was also annexed and merged by the Confucianism of Meng.

In the end, the Confucianism of Meng became the orthodoxy of Confucianism, and Mencius was therefore honored as the sub-sage.

However, these are all things that happened later in the original history. Now Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors are thinking about how to solve the second split crisis in the history of Confucianism.

If this is not handled well, the Confucianism, which is now divided into eight, may be divided into eighteen.

At that time, it will be even more difficult for Confucianism to work together and unite against other schools of thought.

The other philosophers who were watching the show naturally would not miss this rare opportunity to add insult to injury. They immediately looked at Chunyu Yue and other Confucian scholars and asked:

"Hey, Doctor Chunyu, I am not well educated, and I would like to ask you, how should I correctly punctuate the sentence"The people can be made to follow it but not to understand it" said by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the sky curtain?"

"Why do I feel that the sentence 'The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it' should be interpreted as 'The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it,' which is more in line with Confucius' original intention?"

"No, no, I think it should be"Can the people be made to follow it? No, let them know it", this sentence segmentation is more accurate"

"In my opinion, it is more in line with your Confucius' original intention to interpret the sentence according to"Can the people be made to follow it? Yes, they can be made to know it."���！"

"Hahaha, what you said is all wrong. The correct interpretation should be"If the people can be led, let them be led; if they cannot be led, let them know it.""

·· ········Request flowers·· ···· ......

Faced with the words of other Hundred Schools of Thought doctors that were so-called"inquiries" but were actually"provocations", Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors were so angry that their faces turned red and they kept retorting:

"No! No! Your punctuation is wrong! Confucius did not mean this!"

"The truly correct punctuation is 'The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it', this is the original intention of Confucius!"

"Crown Prince Fusu had not read the words of Confucianism and did not know the full picture, so he punctuated them at random!"

"This is wrong. When Prince Fusu read the Confucian sayings, he would naturally know that"the people can be made to follow it, but not to know it" is the correct way to interpret the sentence.".........

Facing Chunyu Yue and other Confucian scholars' strenuous rebuttals and clarifications, the other Hundred Schools of Thought scholars laughed even more happily and said:

"Is that what you said?"

"Where is the evidence?"

"Can you prove that Confucius in ancient times divided the sentence like this:"The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it"?"

"This is probably not your own random understanding of Confucius' words, which led to such punctuation!"

"Perhaps the correct punctuation of Confucius's statement"The people can be led astray, but they cannot be made to know it" was actually"The people can be led astray, but they cannot be made to know it", but it was only misinterpreted by you unfilial descendants.���Understand what Confucius meant!"

..............

..............

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are the 'good students' of Confucianism, actually misinterpreting the ancient thoughts and remarks of Confucius!"

"If Confucius knew about how you misinterpreted his thoughts and words, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would crawl out of his grave to settle the score with you!".........

Chunyu Yue and other Confucian scholars saw that they could not debate or clarify the issue, and immediately said angrily:

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Do you think that only the Confucian school of thought, writings and speeches do not have punctuation marks that clearly define their meanings?"

"How many of the theories, works and speeches of your various schools and factions have clear meanings in punctuation marks?"

"If you can misinterpret my Confucian classics in such a malicious way today, then tomorrow we, the Confucian disciples, can also understand your classics of various schools of thought in the same way!"

"Let's see if our Confucian disciples'"understanding" of the classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought is more in line with the"original intentions" of the various schools of thought.’！"......

As soon as these words came out, the other doctors of the Hundred Schools, who were still madly taking advantage of the situation and laughing at them, suddenly paused.

Damn!

I just laughed too loudly!

I forgot that the classics of their schools also did not use punctuation marks to separate them to make their meanings clear.

If the Confucianists and other idiots misinterpreted and misunderstood the classics of their schools, and the scholars of the various schools knew about it, wouldn’t they be so angry that they would crawl out of their graves in the middle of the night and scold them for being incompetent?

No!

The classics of their schools must not be misinterpreted and misinterpreted by the Confucian idiots!

After the curtain falls today, they will immediately rewrite the classics of the various schools when they go back, and add punctuation marks to separate them to make their meanings clear. At the same time, at this moment, whether it was Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors, or other doctors of the Hundred Schools, they all suddenly realized the importance of punctuation marks that Prince Fusu had mentioned before.

If the classics of their schools were not separated by punctuation marks and their meanings were clear, wouldn't it be easy for them to be maliciously misinterpreted by some people with bad intentions?

It is necessary to incorporate punctuation marks into the text, so that these things can be avoided as much as possible.

Then, the eyes of the doctors of the Hundred Schools of Thought focused on the left prime minister Wei Zhuang and Zhang Cang, who were responsible for the great unification of text.

Since the classics of each school have to be rewritten with punctuation marks, it is best to rewrite them with the new Qin characters and punctuation marks of the great unification. Otherwise, when the new Qin characters and punctuation marks of the great unification come out, the classics that have been copied by various schools and factions with different characters and punctuation marks will have to be copied again.

At that time, it will be a troublesome thing with a lot of work for each school and faction.

Therefore, it is necessary to strongly support and accelerate the emergence and use of the new Qin characters and punctuation marks of the great unification! About.
