Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

【"Why is Zhang Qing so frightened?"】

【Prince Fusu looked at Zhang Cang, who was sitting on the ground, and said in surprise:】

【Zhang Cang, who was sitting on the ground, forced a smile and looked at Prince Fusu and asked,"Your Highness, do you want to split Confucianism?"】

【Prince Fusu blinked and said,"Why would Zhang Qing have such an idea?"】

【"And does Confucianism still need to be isolated and divided?"】

【"Hasn’t Confucianism now been divided into eight parts?"】

【Although he has not formally studied Confucianism, it does not mean that he has no understanding of Confucianism.】

【After all, in the"History Book" he had studied, some things about the various schools of thought were mentioned.】

【Also, when his father was teaching him some classics, he would also tell him some things about the various schools of thought.】

【In addition, when following Xu Zi of the Nong family to learn the Nong family's words, Xu Zi also sometimes mentioned other schools of thought.】

【Of course, when Xu Zi mentioned other schools of thought, they were mostly used as negative examples.】

【Among all the schools of thought, Confucianism is the most common negative example.】

【There is no way, because the Confucian Mencius once scolded them as farmers.】

【So Xu Zi also told Prince Fusu a lot of dark history of other schools of thought.】

【As for the interesting fact that Confucianism was divided into eight parts after the death of Confucius, Xu Zi also told Prince Fusu about it in detail.】

【Zhang Cang smiled bitterly and said,"Confucianism has indeed been divided into eight, but if your Highness’s interpretation of the sentence is spread out as"four eight three", I’m afraid Confucianism will be further divided into eighteen!"】

【"By then, I am afraid I will become a sinner of Confucianism!"】

【In his heart, Zhang Cang didn't really care whether he would become a sinner of Confucianism.】

【Although it may be a bit unfair to their teacher Xunzi to say this, but first there were Han Fei and then Li Si, two Confucian disciples of Xunzi, who suddenly turned around and became the representatives of the Legalists.】

【Zhang Cang thought that if he couldn't make it in Confucianism, then he could change his ways and join the Legalist school.】

【Thanks to the teachings of his teacher Xunzi, he actually had a pretty good understanding of the Legalist school.】

【Although he may not be as good as his two senior brothers Han Fei and Li Si, compared with other disciples of the Legalist School, Zhang Cang can actually be said to be a qualified disciple of the Legalist School.】

【Even if he was a little more shameless, he could have said that he was an outstanding disciple of the Legalist School.】

【After all, although his talent may not be as good as that of his two senior brothers Han Fei and Li Si, he is much better than other disciples of the Legalist School.】

【Therefore, even though he studied Confucianism and Legalism at the same time, his understanding of Legalism was much higher than that of ordinary Legalists.】

【However, if it was really because of him that Confucianism was further split into 18 schools, and then he patted his butt and turned around to join the Legalist school, then】

【So, he was really afraid that he would be assassinated by the disciples of Confucianism!】

【The Confucian school of Qi Diao clan follows the path of Confucian chivalry.】

【If he accidentally angered them, the Confucian scholars of the Qi Diao clan might come and kill him.】

【He just wanted to live a stable and wealthy life and leave a name in history. He didn't want to become the public enemy of Confucian scholars!】

【Prince Fusu reached out his hand to help Zhang Cang up, and said softly:"I just want to use this sentence segmentation to show that a complete, systematic and unified set of sentence segmentation symbols has been established."】

【"Introduced into the article, it is helpful for scholars to learn and understand the classics of their own school."】

【"And how important it is to further clarify the meaning of each classic to prevent others from misunderstanding the words of their own classics."】

【"If there is no complete, systematic and unified set of punctuation symbols introduced into one's own classics, then the various punctuation and interpretation of the classics like Gu Ganggang's will be difficult to deal with."】

【"Even if it doesn't happen now, it will happen sooner or later in the future."】

【"After all, without punctuation marks to separate and clarify the meaning of each classic sentence, the classics of each school did leave room for later generations to add their own comments."】

【Zhang Cang, who stood up again, was even more puzzled when he heard what Prince Fusu said,"You scholars are paying attention to me?"】

【Seeing Zhang Cang's puzzled expression, the prince smiled and explained,"The so-called various philosophers' comments on me are a summary of my arbitrary interpretation of the sentence I just made."】

【"This means that the words of the classics are for my own use."】

【"I will explain the classics of the philosophers according to my own understanding."】

【"Or maybe the classics of the philosophers are just a classic I use as a footnote when I explain my own thoughts."】

【"As for what the original meaning of the words in the classics of various philosophers is, it is not important!"】

【"For example, the people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to know it. Perhaps Confucius's original meaning of this sentence is that the people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to know it.

"】

【"However, because I need to explain my own thoughts, I want to interpret the sentence"The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to know it" as"The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to know it"."】

【"The main point is: Whether what the philosophers said is right or wrong, it is not up to them to say it themselves, only what I say on their behalf counts!"】

【"On the contrary, there is another one that I note in the"】

【"If the philosophers' comments on me are used to interpret my own thoughts in disguised form, then"】

【"So when I annotate the philosophers, I try my best to accurately interpret and explain the original meaning of the words of the philosophers' classics, and I do not allow others to deviate from or make far-fetched interpretations of the words of the philosophers' classics."】

【"I have used various methods to prove and explain the original meaning of Confucius's sentence: People can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to know it."】

【"Any other interpretation or understanding of this sentence by others is wrong!"】

【"The main theme is that all philosophers are supreme and everything is based on them."】

【Zhang Cang silently repeated"the various philosophers annotated me" and"I annotated the various philosophers" several times, then looked up at Prince Fusu and said with a wry smile:"Your Highness, what are you talking about? The various philosophers annotated me and I annotated the various philosophers."】

【"If this were to get out, I'm afraid all the schools of thought would be forcibly divided into two different factions: the various philosophers' comments on me, and my comments on the various philosophers!"】

【"In the future, the debate about the various philosophers' comments on me and my comments on the various philosophers will probably never stop!"】

【People who can be called"Zi" basically have their own unique ideas.】

【For example, Xunzi inherited and developed Confucius'"rites", but also advocated the combination of rites and laws. He can be said to be a thinker of his generation who combined Confucianism and Legalism. 】 (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【This is obviously inconsistent with Confucius' Confucianism.】

【After all, Confucius's fundamental Confucianism is"ritual" and"benevolence", but there is no"law"."】

【Therefore, in essence, Xunzi follows the path of"all philosophers comment on me"】

【Because for Xunzi, although the sages are worthy of respect, they are not worthy of awe. He is worthy of being on par with the sages!】

【However, in the eyes of some traditional Confucian disciples who follow the line of"I comment on all the philosophers" and believe that Confucius' thoughts are supreme, Xunzi, a Confucian disciple who"all the philosophers comment on me", is undoubtedly a heretic.】[]

【In the future, I am afraid that many traditional Confucian disciples who follow the line of"I comment on all the philosophers" will criticize Xunzi and the Confucian disciples of the Sun family to which Xunzi belongs.】

【No, not to mention Sun Yat-sen's Confucianism, even the other seven schools of Confucianism may be criticized by some traditional Confucian disciples who follow the"I annotate the philosophers" line.】

【After all, if we really want to say it, the reason why Confucianism split into eight schools was because the eight schools had different understandings of Confucius' thoughts.】

【Such differences, if we look at it from the essence, are caused by not following the original intention of Confucius's thoughts, or by the deviation in the understanding of Confucius' Confucianism.】

【So in another sense, at least seven of the current eight schools of Confucianism follow the route of"all the philosophers comment on me"!】

【After all, if only one of the eight different ideas is correct and is the same as Confucius' original idea, then the other seven ideas are relatively wrong............】

【Even more seriously, the eight schools of Confucianism all follow the path of"all philosophers comment on me"!】

【The ideological propositions of the eight schools of Confucianism are all different from Confucius' original ideological propositions!】

【If Prince Fusu had not proposed the statement"the philosophers pay attention to me" and"I pay attention to the philosophers", then perhaps all the Confucian disciples would not have realized the difference and problem between them.】

【After all, if there is a school of thought that follows the"various philosophers comment on me" approach, then it must be that this group of Confucian scholars have misunderstood Confucius' thoughts, and it is this group of Confucian scholars who have betrayed Confucianism!】

【But if there are seven or eight schools that all follow the"various philosophers' annotations to me" route, can we say that these seven or eight schools have misunderstood Confucius' thoughts and betrayed Confucianism?】

【Of course not!】

【At present, the eight schools of Confucianism represent the orthodoxy of Confucius’ thoughts and Confucianism!】

【If all eight schools of Confucianism misunderstood Confucius' thoughts and betrayed Confucianism, then the person who truly"betrayed" Confucianism was Confucius himself, because it was Confucius who expressed his thoughts"wrongly"!】

【One person's mistake is wrong, but everyone's mistake is right. This is the truth.】

【But the premise for this truth to be true is that all those who are wrong do not realize that they are wrong.】

【If someone realizes that he is wrong, then he may wake up and turn around to criticize the majority of people who may be"wrong"】

【Prince Fusu's words"the philosophers annotate me" and"I annotate the philosophers" are likely to make some Confucian scholars think that the current eight schools of Confucianism are wrong.】

【Then, while criticizing the eight schools that"deviated" from the original meaning of Confucius' thoughts, he also sought to find the true meaning of Confucius' thoughts.】

【Then in this process, these Confucian scholars will naturally gather together because of the same ideas and viewpoints.】

【In the end, as there are more people, these Confucian scholars will naturally form a new ninth school of Confucianism that is dedicated to restoring the original intention of Confucius' thoughts and follows the"I annotate the philosophers" route!】

【Then, the ninth Confucian school will be like the previous eight schools, fighting, excluding, suppressing, etc. with other Confucian schools in order to seek the correctness of their own ideas.】

【And if we look at the essence of this struggle among the nine schools of Confucianism, it is actually a struggle of ideas among the various philosophers within Confucianism!】

【They are the Confucianists who follow the teachings of Confucius, Xunzi, Mencius, etc.】

【The struggle for the right to speak in mainstream Confucian thought】

【This is actually the same as the reason why various schools of thought are competing for the right to speak in the mainstream thoughts of various countries today, thus excluding and suppressing other schools of thought except their own.】

【Which faction of scholars robbed���If the mainstream ideology within a faction has a say, the status of the scholars in that faction will rise.】

【Similarly, whichever school of thought seizes the discourse power of mainstream thought in a country, then the status of that school of thought in that country will rise.】

【As your status and position rise, then whether it is wealth and glory or leaving a name in history, will it be far away for you?】

【Nature is not far away!】

【That is why the current eight schools of Confucianism, the future nine schools of Confucianism, and the various schools of thought today are competing so fiercely for the right to speak in mainstream thought.】

【Of course, it is not just Confucianism that does this.】

【After the words of Prince Fusu,"All philosophers comment on me" and"I comment on all philosophers", were spread, it was very likely that such ideological disputes would break out among various schools of thought.】

【Unless this school of thought has declined and there are not many scholars studying it, it is possible to avoid such ideological disputes.】

【As for Confucianism, there is no need to think about it. As one of the major schools of thought in the world, the number of scholars studying Confucianism is undoubtedly one of the largest.】

【Therefore, the ideological dispute between"the philosophers annotate me" and"I annotate the philosophers" is bound to erupt within Confucianism in the future. It is just a matter of time.】
