The philosophers are annotating me?

I am annotating the philosophers?

Confucius betrayed Confucianism?

What an incredible joke!

How could Confucius betray Confucianism!

But if Confucius did not betray Confucianism, then would the current behavior of"the philosophers are annotating me" by the eight Confucian schools be considered a betrayal of Confucius?

After all, if we understand it according to what Prince Fusu said on the sky curtain,"the philosophers are annotating me" and"I am annotating the philosophers", then it is obvious that seven of the eight Confucian schools, or even the eight Confucian scholars, have taken the route of"the philosophers are annotating me".

At this moment, whether it was Chunyu Yue and other doctors in the Xianyang Palace, or Zhang Cang, or other Confucian scholars from all over the world, they all fell into silence and self-doubt.

But soon, Chunyu Yue, Zhang Cang, and the eight Confucian scholars from all over the world found reasons to relieve themselves.

For example, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian scholars who did it but dared not admit it, silently told themselves in their hearts that Confucianists have something to say about Confucius' thoughts, how can it be called"the various philosophers' annotations to me"!

It is obvious that Confucius still has some thoughts that he has not said, but he did not have time to describe or write them before his death.

Although some of the Confucian thoughts they are currently advocating are not within the scope of the thoughts proposed by Confucius in the past.

But they firmly believe that the Confucian thoughts they are currently advocating are definitely within the part of the thoughts that Confucius did not have time to describe or write before his death.

Therefore, they have absolutely not violated Confucius' original thoughts! What they are currently advocating may have exceeded the thoughts originally proposed by Confucius, and it is definitely the original thoughts of Confucius himself!

They are still the orthodoxy of Confucianism and the spokespersons of Confucius' thoughts!

And Confucian scholars like Zhang Cang who dare to do and admit it, don't care.

Yes!

The thoughts they advocate are different from the thoughts originally proposed by Confucius!

So what?

Do you want to kill them?

Or do you want to expel them from the Confucian community?

If you want to kill them, they are also good at archery and charioteering!

Moreover, as one of the eight major Confucian factions, if you want to expel me from the Confucian community, I will expel you from the Confucian community in return!

Let's see who can expel whom from the Confucian community at that time!

If you really want to expel them from the Confucian community, you can call Confucius out of the grave if you have the ability!

And if other Confucian scholars can call Confucius out of the grave, then can't they call Xunzi out of the grave?

If you have the ability, just expel Xunzi and their faction from the Confucian community!

With Xunzi around, it is not a big deal for them to abandon Confucianism and form their own school again. It's as if Xunzi is not as good as Confucius.

Give Confucius a face and call him the Confucian master.

If you don't give Confucius face, then in their faction, even Confucius will be inferior to Xunzi!

What they studied was Xunzi's thoughts and words, not Confucius' thoughts and words. So the Confucianism they advocated was different from the thoughts that Confucius originally advocated. What can others do to them?

As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yu was trembling with excitement when he saw Prince Fusu on the sky curtain.

To be more precise, he was trembling with excitement about the difference between"all philosophers pay attention to me" and"I pay attention to all philosophers" proposed by Prince Fusu on the sky curtain.

He said that how could a good Confucianism be split into eight major factions!

More importantly, Confucianism was split into eight major factions, and no faction was willing to take him, a serious descendant of Confucius, to play together!

They didn't even respect and treat him, a descendant of Confucius, with courtesy, and only treated him as a more knowledgeable Confucian scholar.

Is this reasonable?

Is this right?

As a true descendant of Confucius, he actually has no right to speak in mainstream thought within Confucianism!

Is this Confucianism their eight major factions?

Or their descendants of Confucius?

The difference between"all the philosophers pay attention to me" and"I pay attention to all the philosophers" proposed by Prince Fusu on the sky curtain made him realize that it was no wonder that the eight major Confucian schools did not respect him as a descendant of Confucius.

It turned out that the current eight major Confucian schools had already betrayed Confucius and Confucianism, and took the route of"all the philosophers pay attention to me"!

No, he must write an article to denounce the current eight major Confucian schools for their betrayal of Confucius and Confucianism! He must hold high the banner of"I pay attention to all the philosophers" and establish the ninth Confucian school, so that the original fundamental thoughts of their ancestor Confucius can return to the mainstream ideological status within the current Confucianism!

Let them, the descendants of Confucius, also return to the dominant position within Confucianism!

Compared with the Confucian school that is about to split into another"I pay attention to all the philosophers" school, the situation of other schools of thought is better.

For example, the Legalists, although they are also one of the current major schools of thought, have a large number of disciples.

But one of the main ideas of the Legalists is:"Do not follow the ancients, do not follow the present"!

The Legalists strongly opposed conservative retrogressive thinking and advocated reform.

The Legalists believed that history was moving forward, and all laws and systems had to develop with the development of history. They could neither go back to the past nor follow the old ways.

From this, the Legalists' thought on governing the country was extended:"The way to govern the world is not the same, and the country does not have to follow the old ways to change it"!

This means that the way to govern the country, as long as it is beneficial to the country, does not necessarily have to stick to the old ways, and the old ways are not necessarily right.

For example,"Tang and Wu did not follow the old ways to become kings, and Xia and Yin did not change the rituals and died." Did

Cheng Tang and King Wu of Zhou not follow the old ways hinder them from becoming kings of the world?

No, Cheng Tang and King Wu of Zhou still became kings of the world!

Did the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty not change the rituals and laws, delay their demise?

No, the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty also perished one after another!

Later, Han Fei further developed Shang Yang's thought on governing the country, and put forward the idea that"those who do not change the rules when the times change will be in chaos", and ridiculed the conservative Confucians as foolish people who waited for rabbits by the tree.

This shows how active the Legalists were in reforming the law!

The Legalists dared to reform the laws and systems of a country that offended countless vested interests, and even the Legalists themselves who advocated reform were prepared to sacrifice their lives for the law.

Could it be that the younger generation of Legalists would respect a certain sage of the Legalists, and then not reform it after discovering that the ideas of this sage were backward? Or even overthrow it?

What a joke!

No matter which Legalist sage is, he has no face in the eyes of the true Legalist descendants!

Once the thoughts of a Legalist sage are backward, the first person to question and overturn the thoughts of this Legalist sage is definitely a Legalist disciple.

In the eyes of a true Legalist disciple, the Legalist sage is the ladder for their own progress!

Once the true Legalist descendants find loopholes and shortcomings in the thoughts of a Legalist sage, then the Legalist descendants will most likely sigh deeply at the Legalist sage:

"I'm sorry, fellow Legalist predecessors, the younger generation of Legalists really want to make progress!"

Then either make up for the shortcomings and loopholes by yourself, or simply overturn the ideas of the Legalist predecessors and create a new school of Legalism!

Then at that time, it will be the turn of the younger generation of Legalists to start calling themselves"sons" together with the Legalists.

So for the real disciples of Legalism, to take the route of"I follow all the philosophers"?

Impossible!

The real disciples of Legalism all take the route of"all the philosophers follow me"!

If there is any stupid disciple of Legalism who takes the route of"I follow all the philosophers", then this disciple of Legalism will definitely be expelled from the legal system!

So compared to the Legalists, the dispute between"all the philosophers follow me" and"I follow all the philosophers" is almost non-existent.

As long as all the disciples of my Legalism follow the route of"all the philosophers follow me", then there will be no such thing as a dispute over the route in our Legalism!

Compared with the Legalists who are keen on reform and almost all of their disciples follow the route of"all the philosophers follow me", In comparison, the Mohist School took a different route.

The Mohist School is also one of the major schools of thought at present, with a large number of disciples.

However, compared with other schools of thought, the Mohist School is more tightly organized and emphasizes the concept of the whole. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

And the leaders of each generation of the Mohist School are all great masters, or in other words, they all use the name of great masters.

In the Mohist School, great masters no longer refer to a specific person, but a conceptual existence.

The concept of"great master" includes every specific great master of the past, present, and future.

Similarly, the concept of"great master" also includes the ideological propositions put forward by every great master of the past, present, and future.

No matter how different the ideological propositions put forward by the future generations of Mohist great masters are from the first generation of Mohist great masters, they are always included in the overall Mohist concept of"great master".[]

Likewise, no matter how the later generations of Mohists learn the ideas of the Mohist"great masters",���Zhang, the understanding of the Mohist"great master" thought by the later generations of Mohists is always included in the overall Mohist"great master" thought.

In this way, there will be no dispute among the Mohists, because there is only one"son" in Mohism, that is, the conceptual"great master".

To use Confucianism as an example, when Confucius first founded Confucianism, he did not use his own name, but instead created a conceptual name called"Confucian scholar".

He, Confucius, was a"Confucian scholar", and later Mencius was also a"Confucian scholar", and Xunzi was also a"Confucian scholar".

Every generation of outstanding Confucian disciples can be a Confucian"Confucian scholar".

Similarly, his Confucius's thought and proposition are the thought and proposition of"Confucian scholars", Mencius's thought and proposition are also the thought and proposition of"Confucian scholars", Xunzi's thought and proposition are also the thought and proposition of"Confucian scholars", and so on.

The different understandings of Confucianism by each generation of outstanding Confucian disciples will be included in the thought and proposition of the Confucian"Confucian scholar".

In this way, all Confucian scholars are the same, all"Confucian scholars".

Then, can the Confucian scholars who study Confucius' thoughts say that Mencius' thoughts and Xunzi's thoughts have deviated from Confucius' original thoughts and Confucianism's original thoughts?

No!

Because no matter Mencius' thoughts or Xunzi's thoughts are one of the thoughts of Confucian"Confucian scholars", and Confucius' thoughts are also just one of the thoughts of Confucian"Confucian scholars".

We are all one of the ideological propositions of Confucian"Confucian scholars", so how can there be a deviation!

And if there is no deviation, then how can you say that I am taking the route of"the various philosophers annotating me"?

I am clearly taking the route of"I annotate the various philosophers"!

To give an inappropriate example, as an authentic copy, as long as there is a pirated copy, I will immediately label it with a"You are the authorized authentic copy", so I will never have pirated copies.

And if there is no"piracy", then do I still need to consider the so-called"anti-theft" problem?

No need!

Therefore, the route taken by the Mohist school is to attribute all the different ideological propositions that may appear in each generation of specific Mohist masters to the conceptual Mohist"master", so that there will be no ideological disputes among different Mohist masters.

Anyway, no matter what kind of ideological propositions each generation of Mohist masters promotes, in the end it will only become the ideological nourishment for the growth of the conceptual"master" of the Mohist school.

Compared with the Mohist school with unified concepts, the Taoist school takes another route.

Taoism is also one of the major schools of thought at present, with a large number of disciples.

Compared with other schools of thought, Taoism is more casual.

Or in other words, it is more inclined to lie down.

For example, what, you said that I am taking the route of"all the philosophers annotate me"?

Ah, yes, yes, yes, you said so, that's it.

For example, what, you said that I am taking the route of"I annotate all the philosophers"?

Ah, yes, yes, yes, you said so, that's it.

Compare again���Say, what, you said you want to open a new sect in Taoism and call yourself"Zi"?

Ah, OK, OK, there are so many Taoist temples on the mountains outside. You can build a Taoist temple on any mountain you like and call yourself"Zi".

No matter whether others recognize your identity as"Zi", rest assured, I will definitely recognize it!

For example, what, you said you want to expel me from"Taoism" and I am not worthy of being a disciple of Taoism?

Ah, OK, OK, you can expel me as you like, as if I already have such a thing as"Taoism".

As long as you don't come to my Taoist temple on the mountain to disturb me from practicing to become an immortal and ascend to heaven, you can do whatever you want, anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

So there may be a dispute between the lines of"all the philosophers pay attention to me" and"I pay attention to all the philosophers" in Taoism, but it is estimated that it will not cause any big waves within Taoism.

At most, there will be a few more Taoist temples and a few"Zi" in Taoism without any sound or smell.

Besides these prominent schools of thought, let alone the other schools.

After all, how many disciples can a school that cannot even become a prominent school of thought have?

The better non-prominent schools may have a hundred or eighty disciples.

The worse non-prominent schools may only have a few big cats or small cats. It is not impossible that there is only one person in the lineage.

In this case, even if you want to start a dispute between"all the philosophers pay attention to me" and"I pay attention to all the philosophers", there are not so many disciples to fight for it.

Therefore, other non-prominent schools either do not have a dispute between"all the philosophers pay attention to me" and"I pay attention to all the philosophers", or even if there is, it will not cause much waves..
