    "You and I are both mortals, born in this world. We work hard all day long and never have a moment of leisure. Since we are not immortals, we will inevitably have distracting thoughts. Morality and justice are placed on both sides, and profit is placed in the middle. How many men turn into beauty when they are angry. How many birds in the same forest have lost their beauty.  Ingredients: Feiyan. Life is too short, why love so hard. When your lover disappears, who can you complain to? Ask you when you have seen that the world has changed for people. If you have the face you dream of, is it considered to have spring. "

    These students still don¡¯t know that Teacher Huang, who is mumbling something completely unrelated to popular science on the podium, is actually giving them the last lesson today.

    Huang Shaowen doesn¡¯t listen to music very much, but as long as a person lives in this world, there will always be certain songs that suit his personality, habits, and preferences.

    Huang Shaowen doesn¡¯t think he likes this song, but it is true that since its release in 1991, Huang Shaowen has chewed on this song a lot in his life, including now.

    Brother Li hasn¡¯t created anything yet.  In order to avoid unprovoked legends about the God of Songs like before, Huang Shaowen did not sing it in class this time, but chose to read it out.

    Part of the reason is that when Huang Shaowen sang on New Year's Day before, he was criticized by others who thought his singing was unpleasant, but Huang Shaowen still cared about it.

    In front of so many students, in the last class, the image of a young, handsome, and outstanding young teacher cannot be ruined.

    "Personally, I believe in what Tai Shigong said, or what Guan Zi said. Everything in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit. But there is a difference between small benefit and big benefit, and there are differences between self-interest and altruism.

    I look at the faces of all the students and when they hear the words small profit and self-interest, they all seem to have negative connotations.  Then I want to say, congratulations to all of you, you are truly pure Chinese people with Confucian genes hidden in your bones.  "

    Huang Shaowen has thought about what would be better to teach in his last class.  After much thought, Huang Shaowen didn't have a better idea.

    It wasn¡¯t until recently when I was reading and seeing "Guanzi" that Huang Shaowen realized that maybe he should talk about how to crack the concept of "interest" in the minds of students.

    In fact, many times, it is quite strange to think carefully about the intellectuals in the history of flower cultivation.

    Because according to our general thinking, we actually respect successful people and learn the methods of success.  After all, by nature, who wouldn¡¯t want to succeed and gain wealth?

    But that¡¯s it. The ancient intellectuals finally chose Confucius, a loser in the strict sense.

    Put aside all reasons, explanations, and arguments, just look at what he wanted to do and what he did when he was alive.  Confucius is indeed an out-and-out loser.

    ??And in the actual application process, one dynasty after another has proven that what Confucianism thought was not as good as Confucius said.  But the strange thing is that intellectuals respect him and are willing to regard him as a saint.

    In comparison, what Guan Zhong did can be regarded as a success.  Helping Qi State, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were so many countries and such a chaotic situation, it actually stood out and dominated the Central Plains.

    Putting it this way, shouldn¡¯t it be said that the method of Guanzi is more suitable for governing the country?  Moreover, Guanzi's explanation of "profit" is rational enough, neither praising nor criticizing. He understands and uses the existence of "profit" completely from the perspective of politics.

    Confucius also praised, "If Guan Zhong is insignificant, I will wear my hair in left-hand folds." This proves from the side that Guan Zhong's method and political power are powerful.  So why does Confucius still say, "A gentleman is known as righteousness, and a villain is known as benefit"?

    "The reason is that he was born in troubled times and yearned for the peaceful and stable life in the past era of Duke Zhou. Confucius believed that as long as he did the same as Duke Zhou, he believed that such an era of peace and stability, with the promotion of rituals and music, would  Coming again.¡±

    Huang Shaowen has his own understanding.

    "Chinese people today like to recall the past. In fact, this is a typical idea inherited from Confucius. However, what Confucius originally pursued was a kind of stability and peace in the past. As a result, with the changes of history, Confucius was slowly forgotten.  The original intention has gradually turned into a retro trend of thought. Everything is the best in ancient times, and as long as it is ancient, it must be better than modern times. It is believed that ancient times are full of benevolence and righteousness, while modern times are full of benefits.

    Compared with benevolence and righteousness, the word "interest" simply stinks.  I don¡¯t know if you have this idea, but if so, then you are a very pure Chinese.  If not, don't worry, you may be in two situations.  Either one has no chance to experience benevolence and righteousness, and has only seen benefits since childhood, so the pursuit of life is benefits.  On the other hand, I might want to congratulate you, because you are one of the rare geniuses who have learned to think about the so-called benevolence, justice and interests by yourself.?The essence, rather than just following what others say and being confused.  "

    Huang Shaowen¡¯s words caused quite a commotion in the classroom.  After all, in this era, no one would directly put the two words benevolence, justice and interests on the table and comment on them together like Huang Shaowen.

    Reform and opening up, emancipating the mind.  Huang Shaowen felt that students in the past two years needed to emancipate their minds.  In fact, some people later talked about the primacy and secondary importance between morality and food and clothing.

    ¡°But for that debate to happen, we had to wait until 1993.  When Huang Shaowen was doing journalism, he also specially interviewed relevant students.

    At that time, what Huang Shaowen was thinking was that he didn¡¯t even have enough food to eat, and it was nonsense to talk about morality.

    Huang Shaowen later realized that he belonged to the type of people he had just mentioned who had only seen benefits since childhood and had no sense of benevolence and righteousness.

    The real reason is that Huang Shaowen did not really understand the original meaning of "profit".  Taizu of this dynasty also mentioned that there are three types of people, those who are purely self-interested and those who ultimately achieve self-interest through altruism to others.  and pure altruism due to faith.

    Huang Shaowen used to be more inclined to the first type. Later, when he saw more, he started to move towards the second type. Finally, due to some blows, he fell back to the first type.

    Anyway, the third thought has never occurred to me.

    Now after re-reading "Guanzi", Huang Shaowen has new ideas.  The world is bustling with people, all for their own benefit.

    "Why did Confucius's teachings become so popular in the end? Because it is simple. Yes, you heard it right, it is simple. In this world, for most people, it is actually very difficult for them to accept the correct ideas.  Because most people are lazy, more people tend to accept simpler ideas."

    "Then why is Confucius' theory said to be simple? Because of the binary opposition between the gentleman and the villain. Confucius very simply conveyed many things through binary opposition. What is the most typical one? What is it? Yes  Isn¡¯t it the opposition between benevolence and interests? Isn¡¯t it?¡±

    The students really didn¡¯t expect that Confucius, who had been studied by the ancients for more than two thousand years, turned into a very simple theory when it came to Teacher Huang.  But what Teacher Huang said seemed to make sense, and everyone unconsciously followed Huang Shaowen's question and nodded.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
