question of heaven

Wu Xiufeng fell into deep confusion.He has always believed that people are simple and kind, and that the world is sunny, but the reality is that relatives turn against each other for a little money; What's more, it's a good thing to give away free items that I came up with, but the people who accept them are insatiable-------.Why doesn't he understand all this?He began to doubt the whole world?Are the values ​​that you have always adhered to wrong?He was in deep pain.

In desperation, he walked aimlessly on the street alone, but his thoughts were in chaos. Finally, he decided to go to the teacher, hoping to find an answer that would free him from the teacher.

Teacher Chu said, "Do you know the difference between humans and animals?"

Wu Xiufeng was stunned by the teacher's inexplicable words, and didn't know how to answer for a while.Teacher Chu said: "One is a human being with reason and a sense of shame; one is an animal if one is honest with oneself but not rational. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans desire and are able to leave value to society."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Teacher, I also think your statement is correct, but it still can't relieve the confusion in my heart."

Teacher Chu then asked, "Do you know what money is?"

Wu Xiufeng said: Money is a kind of currency, and it is a kind of transaction certificate recognized by everyone. "

Teacher Chu said: "This is only an answer in economics. On the philosophical level, it is a medium that can satisfy people's various desires. There is a story that says: After God created human beings for a long time, he saw that human beings were very chaotic. So they called the gods to discuss the countermeasures. God A said, give them wealth; God B, say, give them rights; God C, say, give them wisdom; God D said, give them a long life. God thought for a while and said , These are too troublesome, so I will give them one thing: desire. After this desire develops to a certain level, then create money, and use money to connect all these desires together." Teacher Chu looked at Wu Xiufeng and smiled. Say, "Do you know what it means now?"

Wu Xiufeng nodded thoughtfully.Teacher Chu said again: "I remember before, we said: in the process of your growth, there will inevitably be confusion of thoughts, depression for a while, ecstasy for a while; Very small. In fact, this is a process that a true thinker and a person who becomes a great person must go through. There is nothing surprising. The key is to find the exit, find the direction, and sort out yourself when this state appears. thought to move on.”

Wu Xiufeng said: "Teacher, I am in such a moment now, what should I do?"

Teacher Chu said: "Facing such a situation, there are only two ways. One is to study the most basic theoretical books, especially philosophy; , get the guidance of others, and reach the goal quickly. The first method will be slow and has the risk of going wrong. The second method is fast and has a small risk factor.”

Wu Xiufeng said: "Of course it's the second type. I have a lot to say to you."

Teacher Chu said: "Well, you go back today and think about all the problems. You and Yan girl will come together tomorrow morning, and we will discuss some problems. Come with me to the "Art Academy" in the afternoon. They invited me It’s a good experience for you to go give a keynote speech and experience it for yourself.”

"Okay, I got it." Wu Xiufeng said urgently, "I'm very conflicted now, can I talk about it now?"

Teacher Chu said: "Do what you are told to do. There is so much nonsense." Wu Xiufeng did not dare to insist.

After leaving the teacher's house, Wu Xiufeng sent Pu Yan a WeChat message saying: "I just discussed some issues with the teacher. The teacher said, let me go back today and think about it. I will go to his house with you tomorrow morning to continue the chat."

Pu Yan said: "What happened, so heavy?"

Wu Xiufeng said, "It's nothing, it's just that there are contradictions in thinking."

Pu Yan said: "Since ancient times, great achievers must have experienced many difficulties and obstacles, no matter what industry they are in. What you are going through now is very normal. Although it is not a life-and-death decision, the magnificence of thought is no less than It is a great decisive battle. I believe that you will be able to overcome it, and you must have confidence. Maybe, after you overcome this hurdle, your thoughts will be able to reach a supreme state. From this point of view, it is a What a good thing, why is it so heavy?"

Wu Xiufeng's heart suddenly settled down, and he said: "You are very good." In an instant, he had an inexplicable strong confidence.

Pu Yan said, "I told you a long time ago that I was specially sent by God to save you."

Wu Xiufeng smiled and said, "Yes, you are an angel."

At nine o'clock the next morning, Wu Xiufeng and Pu Yan came to Teacher Chu's house. When they stepped into the yard, Pu Yan sent a WeChat message saying: "When people are confused, the heart can see the direction better than the intellect. Focus on your thoughts, Your heart is fine, believe in yourself." Wu Xiufeng turned his head and smiled at her, and walked into the teacher's house together.

Teacher Chu said: "It's still early for cooking, and Yan girl will chat with us. The content to be discussed today is very important, and it is also a good thing for you to listen to it."

Pu Yan didn't say anything, and sat quietly on the sofa. Teacher Chu poured them a cup of tea: "Xiao Yang, what did you think when you went back yesterday?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "My thoughts are still very confused, please ask the teacher for advice."

Teacher Chu said: "The reason why people value money so much is that money can basically satisfy people's various desires. The key to the problem lies in factors such as people's thinking and growth environment. When people face various desires, , the methods adopted will be different. For example, you said that relatives turn against each other for money, and some people cheat for money, but have you ever thought about it? Why did I compare the difference between people and animals with the difference between money and money yesterday? Stories told together."

Wu Xiufeng was moved: "What the teacher means is that while satisfying one's own desires, one should be ashamed and rational, instead of just being completely faithful to one's own thoughts like animals."

Teacher Chu said happily: "This is the brilliance of human nature."

Wu Xiufeng thought for a while: "Teacher, it seems that the confusion in my heart has been solved, and there are still a few questions that need to be explained by you."

Teacher Chu looked at him with a smile, and Wu Xiufeng said: "You told us not to use tricks and conspiracies, so what is the use of our knowledge and wisdom? At least we have to protect ourselves and not be deceived by people with malicious intentions." insult."

Teacher Chu said, "Have you read "The Art of War by Sun Tzu?"

Wu Xiufeng said, "I've seen it more than once."

Teacher Chu said, "What kind of book do you think it is?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "It is a military book full of wisdom and strategy."

Teacher Chu said: "What is the difference between it and other military books?"

Wu Xiufeng said: "The difference is that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is not simply a method of using soldiers and fighting; it is more about the thinking of using soldiers. As the teacher told us, the method is only the path, and the idea is the way."

Teacher Chu said: "What you said is very correct, but it is still a little bit close. Don't you think that although this book is full of wisdom and strategies from the beginning to the end, it does not feel very cunning and cunning like other military books. It’s weird; it’s majestic and magnificent.”

Wu Xiufeng said happily: "It's true."

Teacher Chu said: "Therefore, the first sentence I want to tell you is that although you have read this book many times, you will not read it eight times ten times in the future, but will read it countless times. Every time you read it, you will have something Different perceptions, which are of great help to the formation of your thoughts.”

Wu Xiufeng said: "I remember it. I found that people with too much individuality in society are often unhappy, but those who are smooth live well. What is the reason for this? Is it possible to have a little personality and truly express your thoughts? okay?"

Teacher Chu said: "There is nothing wrong with expressing your own ideas truly and having an independent personality; but the problem is that other people's ideas are different from yours. Why should they accept your water chestnut and your personality? You want Know that the rules in this world are for most people, but occasionally there are special big rewards for those who dare to break the rules. As far as ordinary life is concerned, people don't need so much individuality, but need A group of harmony. In this group of harmony, everyone lives according to their own way. Therefore, people would rather accept a fake appearance than a sharp person; but one thing is for sure, there will be no great achievement without personality , no matter what industry you are in.”

"On this issue, we can use 'square and round' to express. A person who is round inside and outside is what we usually call a timid and cautious person; a person who is square inside and outside is the most real person and People who are most suitable for scientific research, learning, creation, and invention; people with outer squares and inner circles, although they are kind and have no intention of harming others, they often hurt others in actual behavior, and they are not very capable. Therefore, Such people often end up in a very painful and humble way. People with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside, except for being scholars, are people who can achieve great achievements in various industries. Leaders in every industry are like this.”

Wu Xiufeng listened with great interest: "Teacher, what kind of people do we belong to?"

Teacher Chu said: "Your brother Chu belongs to the outer circle and the inner side. His only shortcoming is that his understanding is mediocre. Otherwise, he will go farther and farther in politics than he is now; your sister Cheng basically She belongs to a person who is both inside and outside, and her regret is that she has not made a major breakthrough in her ideological realm; Pu Yan belongs to a person who is round on the outside and inside, and despite her soft and weak appearance, she is actually very strong and assertive. As for you Like me, they are all very outstanding people who are both inside and outside. People like us are called alternatives, or worse, weirdos and lunatics."

Wu Xiufeng said: "Some people often say that I am unique and different; no one has said that I am a weirdo or a lunatic."

"It will happen in a few years." Teacher Chu said with a smile: "You are still young, and people are still tolerant of you, thinking that your character is still not settled, and everything will be normal when you grow up. , In fact, it is not the case, you are destined to be such a person."

Wu Xiufeng found that he was like standing in a dark cave and saw a bright exit.He continued to ask: "Teacher, you told me before that I still haven't fully understood the three major characteristics of Chinese culture. I want to hear from you again."

Teacher Chu said: "This question is very good, which shows that you are very honest. This is the result of my decades of research. How can you understand it in a short while? There is no need to question the profoundness of Chinese culture. It can be verified, for example: what we usually call food culture, martial arts culture, tea ceremony culture -----. Any industry, in the course of our development in China, has risen to a theory and a culture. It can be regarded as truly broad and profound. If there are no people who have lived in this land for ten or eight years, it is difficult to understand the reason, because it is too complicated and profound. It is also because of its broad and complicated that it is being passed on In the process, some will go astray, this is the two sides of things.”

Wu Xiufeng couldn't wait to say: "Is there a way to crack it? This is a big matter that affects hundreds of millions of lives. I'm curious, teacher, have you found a way to crack it?"

Teacher Chu said: "It should be regarded as found, and I will talk to you about this issue later. The second major feature of Chinese culture: more than enough defense, not enough offense. Chinese culture is an inclusive culture with 'benevolence' as the main body. Resilience. When defending, they are often full of confidence. This is the root of China’s culture that has not broken for thousands of years. Even at the weakest time in modern times, it has not been annihilated by outsiders. This is the defense of Chinese culture But in terms of offense, it seems to be very insufficient, which is mainly reflected in the excessive fear of unknown things. This is our own thinking system in China, but it looks very round in appearance, does not like too sharp, and lacks the ability to deal with the enemy. Third, we are obsessed with skills and lose our essence. We Chinese pursue skills too much, but often forget the essence of things. Because methods and skills can quickly see results, but thinking has to go through a long process Only then can it show its value. According to my idea, those classics of various strategies and techniques should be abolished, and more books on thought and humanities should be read, so that the people of the country will have a magnificent ideology from an early age. "

Wu Xiufeng said: "Teacher, why did you choose human beings as the research direction?"

Teacher Chu said: "Because of all the lives in the world, human beings are the most noble. The reason is very simple, because we are human beings. Therefore, we can only evaluate everything else from the perspective of human beings, good and bad, right and wrong, value Size and so on. All things in the world must be human-centered and serve us humans. Therefore, all things in the world are man-made and determined by people, and all merits and demerits are caused by human beings. Yes, other things don’t matter whether they are right or wrong. In other words, as long as we understand people well, we will stand on the highest point of all things and be invincible, because people are the root of all things. The center is equal to standing on the center. From the books you read, you should know that all the great philosophers and thinkers in ancient and modern China and abroad have conducted research with people as the main body. Confucius, Laozi, and Wang Yangming in China; Socrates, Aristotle, Rousseau, etc. are all like this. Even those scientific giants and political leaders have a very deep understanding of people."

Wu Xiufeng's mood gradually brightened, and he said: "There is one more question, please ask the teacher for advice. People often say that I have serious shortcomings, such as low EQ, ignorance of the world, not thinking from the other party's standpoint, and hurting others with words. , self-righteous, easily emotional, and self-willed, etc. I know in my heart that many of these people are not malicious to me, they are for my own good. Therefore, I want to ask the teacher if I should get rid of it as soon as possible. Correct these shortcomings and redefine some of my behavioral traits."

Teacher Chu smiled disapprovingly and said, "Girl Yan has the most say on these issues, what do you think?" Pu Yan smiled and nodded frequently.

Teacher Chu said: "My point of view is this. First of all, you must determine what kind of person you want to be, and then you can determine how you should behave. Do you want to be in politics? Do you want to do business? Or do you want to be mediocre? Are you done with this life?

Wu Xiufeng was shocked: "Teacher, I don't want to be in politics. There are too many rules in the official career. I don't understand it, and I don't have the energy to understand it. The nature of business determines all kinds of calculations and grievances. I can't stand it. If you let I have lived this life in a mediocre way, and I can't accept it, I can't come into this world inexplicably and leave inexplicably."

Teacher Chu said: "Then you have only one choice, which is to study. Your wisdom, character, and way of thinking are all destined to be a scholarly genius. You are not suitable for politics or business. You are destined to only do academic research." , this seems to be its own arrangement in the power."

Wu Xiufeng said: "I like to learn, and I feel very honored to benefit others and society with what I have learned."

Teacher Chu said: "Since this is the case, why do you want to correct the so-called shortcomings mentioned above? Those shortcomings are indeed inappropriate for ordinary people; but they are of great benefit to scholars, and there is no need to correct them at all. I The only thing to remind you is that you have to be different for those who are particularly important, because we are not gods, we all have emotions, joys, sorrows and joys, so we should think more about these people."

Wu Xiufeng noticed that when the teacher mentioned a particularly important person just now, he looked at Pu Yan kindly, and at the same time saw Pu Yan's face suddenly a little shy.

Teacher Chu said: "It's not surprising that you have contradictory and chaotic thoughts in the past two days. People who are scholars are like this. They are easily impulsive and emotional. If they are not like this, they will not be able to study; The more obvious people are, they are very casual." He continued: "However, any knowledge is for the real people. If it is dragged out of the real society, this kind of knowledge will lose its value. Therefore, you You must understand that this is a hurdle for you. Only when you cross it can you truly reach the highest level of mastery. This is also a test for you, and you cannot avoid it or avoid it. If you want to continue to study well, You can only face it bravely, because this is your destiny."

Teacher Chu's words deeply shocked Wu Xiufeng. He seemed to hear a voice from the bottom of his heart shouting: This is your practice, and you must face it bravely to reach the pinnacle of life. "

Strange to say, in an instant, Wu Xiufeng felt like a different person, the lost state disappeared, replaced by a holy face like a halo.He knew that he had crossed the biggest obstacle in his heart.

Teacher Chu watched Wu Xiufeng's changes from inside to outside, and knew that he had found the key to untie the knot in his mind.He was very pleased that this was his most proud disciple, and he placed great expectations on him.Said: "It's almost time, you two are cooking, I will go outside and come back. In the afternoon, we will go to the 'Art Institute'." Then he opened the door and went out.

Wu Xiufeng and Pu Yan smiled at each other, and went to the kitchen to cook together.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Xiufeng followed Mr. Chu in the special car that picked him up, and went straight to the "Art Academy".The principal and several well-known people were already waiting at the gate.After a simple greeting, we came to the school auditorium together.

As soon as I came to the gate of the school auditorium, I could hear the noise of many whispering voices, and I could imagine that there were a lot of people inside.

After the simple opening remarks, Teacher Chu stepped onto the podium.Said: "Principal Xu gave me an order a few days ago, let me come and talk to you. In fact, I understand that it is to answer the questions in everyone's mind. To be honest, this is not a good business. But the order of the principal has been issued. I had to obey. He said, if I can’t finish it, I will not be allowed to leave this place today, and I will sell myself to the academy as a coolie. I was very scared, so I had to do my best to do it tremblingly. I hope everyone will forgive me if I don’t speak well. I am A useless person who can only eat but can't work, this deal is a big loss for the college. Fortunately, I have read the book for a few days, and I still understand a little bit of truth, so I don't dare to lose to the art college. Therefore, the coolie is fine Mr. Xu has a lot of adults, and he will definitely let me go back." There was laughter in the auditorium.

Many students were already eager to try, and as soon as the laughter stopped, a girl with a pretty face and short hair asked: "We are studying art, and I really want to know what is the highest state of art?" In fact, it got everyone's approval at once.

Teacher Chu said: "The highest state of art is tragedy. Tragedy is not the same as tragedy. He must be just, and the spirit in it can move future generations infinitely. Prometheus stole heavenly fire for mankind and was locked on a cliff; mother The camel resolutely jumped into the pond where he died to raise the water level so that the other small camels could drink water; It can last forever because his music is full of tragic colors of daring to fight against fate. Therefore, it is said that tragedy is the highest state of art."

A girl asked: "Why are many masters not from majors?"

Teacher Chu said: "People in the subject class are subject to too many constraints and too many rules. The most important thing is that after a few years, this constraint has become a habit and a stereotype, which hinders the creativity of ideas. With years of study and It is not difficult for a professional to become an advantage due to one's own diligence, but it is extremely difficult to become a great master. Chinese and foreign ancient and modern, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Qi Baishi, and Zhang Zeduan are all like this."

A boy rushed to ask: "Why are artists suffering, and what is the root cause?"

Teacher Chu said with a smile: "I am here to correct a statement. Not all people who are engaged in artistic creation are in pain. It is not difficult to see that many people who treat art works as commercial operations live leisurely every day. What is there to do?" Pain? You can say that these people are not real artists, they are businessmen, but you cannot deny that they are indeed engaged in artistic creation.” He continued: “Come on, I actually understand what this student means. You asked Yes, why are real artists suffering, or why great artists are born in pain. Is that so?"

The boy just now said happily: "That's what it means, please teach me, Teacher Chu."

Teacher Chu said: "The reason why artists suffer. There are two root causes. One is the real selfishness of the outside world, and the other is the artist's own paranoia and wisdom. The good and the bad in the world, the good and the evil, and the brilliance and ugliness of human nature are all well understood. It is precisely because of his deep understanding combined with the uniqueness that a true artist must possess that makes his "inexplicable" Returning to the basics. His heart longs for beautiful things and real things; however, he is stubborn, and his way of expression is straightforward, from the heart to the appearance is true. Once the world misunderstands him, he is sensitive and easily goes to extremes In this way, the impressions they leave on the world are contradictory, so repeated, a vicious circle, and finally, great artists have only two things left: ideals and pain. Apart from creation, life has no other meaning .”

As soon as the words fell, there was warm applause in the auditorium, mixed with crisp whistles, like a folk temple fair.It is indeed an art circle, which is completely different from other schools.

As the sound gradually died down, a boy stood up and asked, "We are music students. The teacher said, let us learn more about other things, not just music itself, because everything is connected. Is that so?"

Teacher Chu said: "The teacher who said this is a very wise person. We should give him a big 'like'. You should be lucky to have such a good teacher. He is right. , everything in the world is connected, the reason is that everything and any evaluation standard in the world is man-made, and all creations and inventions also serve people. It is like many people climbing up a mountain from different directions, When you reach the highest peak, will everyone meet. Therefore, although you are studying art, you should learn more about the principles of other things, which will add to the icing on the cake for your artistic creation. This is what it means to say that the stones of the mountain can be used to attack jade."

A girl asked: "Based on this, where should we start? Or, which aspect should we focus on?"

Teacher Chu said: "Of course it is culture, because culture is the center, the hub, and the commander-in-chief of everything."

Before the girl could speak, a boy said disapprovingly and loudly: "Culture is just big and empty preaching. It feels grand, but it's actually meaningless?"

Teacher Chu smiled: "The student who spoke just now is very likely to become a successful 'artisan' in the future, but absolutely impossible to become an artist. To say that culture has no practical significance is a manifestation of narrow vision."

He paused for a while, and said more solemnly: "The brilliance of culture has been exhausted by many literati, so there is no need for me to gossip here today. Just now, this student said that 'culture has no practical significance. 'I would like to express my own opinion. Culture belongs to the category of the ideological level, and it can never directly generate value, but it can realize the generation of value through a carrier. The largest carrier of this carrier is human beings. Simply put The greatest practical significance of culture is to make those who love it become intelligent, far-sighted, and grand figures. As for those nerds who are useless because they are addicted to culture, it is a matter of personal wisdom and has nothing to do with culture itself. If Saying culture has no practical meaning, let me ask, would you like to be with someone who is vulgar, mercenary, and shameless?"

The applause sounded again.Wu Xiufeng, who was sitting in the first row, looked at the teacher on the stage and couldn't calm down for a long time.This kind of thinking, such rich connotation but easy to understand is the style of a real master; and this master happens to be a mentor who favors me.

Teacher Chu continued: "I would like to say a few more words about the issue of 'culture' just now, so as to solve the confusion in your hearts. Because culture is the center, it is like the commander-in-chief of the army, and arts such as music and painting It’s just the dazzling “military adviser, chief of staff” and the like. No matter how bright it is, it will not exceed the scope of culture. To be more specific, a person with shallow ideological connotation and narrow knowledge can create profound and shocking paintings and music Is it? The history of human development has been clearly stated there, absolutely not, no matter how superb the skills are. Culture is a torch in people's hearts. With a profound cultural heritage, no matter what occupation we are engaged in, It will be spiritual, it will be able to integrate, and finally, it will be able to create excellent and great works.”

The applause flooded every space in the auditorium again, floating in the empty hall, and could not be subdued for a long time.This is a unique speech, and only a person like Mr. Chu can make a question and answer with such content. These young students have never seen it before: deep and straightforward, generous but practical.

A girl asked: "Mr. Chu, hello! Your explanation made us feel fresh and new, and we benefited a lot. Now, I dare to ask a question that everyone cares about but has some scruples: why is there no one in the course about 'value of life'?" willing to listen?

Teacher Chu said with a generous smile: "No wonder you said you were bold. This is indeed a difficult problem. First, it is because the teacher in class uses a 'didactic' way of explaining instead of relying on reality; second, people are always required to To be a saint, we ignore the characteristics of human nature and human heart. The correct approach is that we should not only bravely and objectively admit the selfishness of human nature, but also look forward to the brilliance of human nature optimistically and comprehensively.”

A boy asked: "Why do people often fail to achieve the expected results in specific events?"

Teacher Chu said: "Because the vast majority of people are 'lazy' and easily complacent, they have not taken a step forward, what they do has no continuity, and they are unwilling to achieve the ultimate."

A boy at the back asked loudly: "In specific matters, what method is the most powerful?"

Teacher Chu said: "Human motivation can only come from two aspects, one is interest, the other is emotion, and honor is the highest stage of emotion. As long as the self-interest of human nature and the honor of the heart can be combined, the best A tremendous strength.

A girl asked: "Everyone hates betrayal, how do you judge true loyalty?"

Teacher Chu said: "Loyalty and obedience without emotion are all because of interests; once this interest disappears or a greater interest appears, all good things will disappear. Only by integrating enough emotions can we win true loyalty. For feelings, including benefits with feelings, taking is more able to win the other party's heart than giving. Human beings are the most complicated and difficult to determine an existence. Any way of judging people's hearts in the world should not be persistent. Therefore, don't test them casually , Judge a person. Otherwise, you are often the one who gets hurt. But if you have to try, you can still have feelings for yourself when the other party is completely free, and the depth of feelings determines the degree of responsibility."

The girl then asked: "There are various groups in life, may I ask, which group is the most beautiful?"

Teacher Chu said: "Although all people are born equal, whether you like it or not, people of different groups always maintain a distance intentionally or unintentionally. This distance is called class. Between people, as long as this The right distance is often beautiful, this is the position effect. Once a person has an identity, which is actually a position, he will desire to have the matching rights. The upper class can share adversity but not wealth, and the dominant will in human nature will It appears in them; while people in the ordinary class are just the opposite, the ugly will of human nature that puts interests above everything else will often appear in their behavior; therefore, people in the middle class are the group that best embodies the double beauty of human nature and life. Human nature The brilliance is displayed to the greatest extent in such a group."

A boy asked: "I often hear people say that if you want to be popular, you must know how to praise. What's the best way to praise?"

Teacher Chu said: "Praise can be divided into three realms. First, the ordinary realm: it is direct praise. When you see something outstanding in others, you can tell your feelings, and you will definitely win the other party's favor. Second, the middle realm: In other words, indirect praise needs to be carried out through a carrier. The advantage of this is that it appears very real. You must know that the most taboo in praise is insincerity and inauthenticity. [-]. The highest state: that is, there is criticism in praise. The mysteries of this show that your thinking has surpassed ordinary people."

A girl said: "Mr. Chu, you just mentioned the three classes of people. I would like to ask, what are the characteristics of these three classes of people?"

Teacher Chu said: "In terms of thinking, people of the upper class pay attention to resources; people of the middle class look for opportunities; people of the ordinary class care about fairness; from the perspective of behavior, people of superior wisdom pay attention to ideas; ; people of ordinary wisdom like cases."

A girl said: "We are all Chinese, and we have been deeply influenced by Confucianism since childhood. However, many people, including some highly respected people, disdain Confucianism. This is why."

Teacher Chu said: "Confucianism can be roughly divided into three stages. One is Confucius Confucianism represented by the founder; the other is Mencius Confucianism represented by Mencius; the third is Song Dynasty Confucianism represented by Zhu Xi and Ercheng; among them, Confucian Confucianism is the real Confucianism. When it came to Mencius Confucianism, it added a lot of self-contradictory, confusing content, and even hypocritical academic ideas. Later generations called Confucianism a "pedantic" school, and its chief evil was Mencius. Confucianism in the Song Dynasty misunderstood Going astray is deeper and farther. The Confucianism we often see today is basically the Confucianism of the Song Dynasty. For thousands of years, the Chinese have been able to concentrate the three "thinking, speaking, and doing" inconsistently and completely on one person. It all started with Mencius, who had already deviated from the spirit of Confucianism. In the Song Dynasty, Confucianism fully inherited the core ideas of Mencius’s Confucianism, but their expressions and applications were completely different. Confucianism of Confucius is truly "into the world". He not only recognized the ugliness of human nature, but also believed in the brilliance of human nature. It can be seen from Confucius' requirement that scholars must learn the "six arts" that true intellectuals must not only understand reason, but also be able to govern the country and fight in the battlefield. However, the Confucianism of Mencius and Confucianism of the Song Dynasty inherited and carried forward Confucianism on the surface, but in essence they completely deviated from Confucius' thought of "entering the world", abandoned the martial spirit of Confucianism and the emphasis on "six arts", and became "talking without practice, Hypocrisy is extremely pedantic. In short, the Confucianism founded by Confucius is the most humanistic and popular theory among all the thoughts in the world. Qufu, Shandong
