    Tang Shouqian said with a smile: "When I heard Bai Xi mention the use of business meetings, sports meetings, exchange meetings, exhibitions, etc. to unite people's hearts, I thought of another meeting that has caused a lot of noise recently. They also used to 'maintain the national destiny and save people's hearts.'  We called upon him and set up branches all over the country, attracting tens of thousands of literati and gentry, and many people went crazy for it."

    Sun Yuanqi immediately reacted: "Zheweng is talking about the Confucian Church, right?"

    Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, although the improved Confucianism has not been ranked as a state religion, it has left its own imprint on all aspects of national society such as thought, law, selection, and system, and then gradually integrated into one, and the Tao of Confucius and Mencius also  It enjoys supreme respect in the country.  However, the institutional changes that occurred along with the modernization process caused Confucianism, which was originally integrated with the traditional system, to gradually lose its original institutional support.  In particular, the abolition of the imperial examination system in the 31st year of Guangxu's reign (1905) cut off the communication channels of Confucianism and the connection between Confucianism and power, resulting in a situation where Confucianism was "out of spirit".

    After the fall of the Qing government, Confucianism was like a lonely ghost with nowhere to settle.  At a time when Confucianism is facing such a predicament, the literati and gentry who have been influenced by Confucian classics since childhood and whose lives are highly consistent with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius see that democracy and republic are becoming popular, while the traditional Chinese politics and religion of five thousand years have fallen into the dust and become civilized and swept away. Every one of them can't help but worry about this.  Confucianism will be destroyed, and Chinese culture will also be lost.  Moreover, they feel that Confucianism still plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining China's current social order and cultural identity, so they draw on the separation of politics and religion after the Western Enlightenment and want to ecclesiasticalize Confucianism and seek a way to transcend reality for Confucianism that has lost institutional support.  "Confucianism" that has a substantial impact on social order and national morality.

    After the Revolution of 1911, Confucian societies that advocated respecting Confucius and reading scriptures, such as the ¡°Confucian Taoist Society¡±, ¡°Confucian Society¡±, ¡°Confucian Society¡±, and ¡°Confucian Saint Society¡±, appeared one after another across the country. However, these were spontaneously established and were not large-scale.  At this time, Kang Youwei, who had previously founded the Confucian Church, instructed his student Chen Huanzhang to imitate the Christian establishment, and contacted former Qing Dynasty veterans Shen Zengzhi, Zhu Zumou, Liang Dingfen and others to establish the Confucius Church in Shanghai on October 7, 1912, the birthday of Confucius.  Kong Church.

    The reason why the Confucian Church had a huge impact as soon as it was established and quickly surpassed the Confucian Society, the Confucian Society, the Confucian Society, the Zongsheng Society and other groups was not only because Shen, Zhu, Liang and others were all senior officials at the deputy ministerial level of the former Qing Dynasty (such as  Shen Zengzhi once served as the chief envoy to Anhui, Liang Dingfen served as the chief envoy to Hubei, and Zhu Zumou was the minister of the Ministry of Rites), and these people are all famous scholars and great poets in the country (for example, Shen Zengzhi was well-known at home and abroad for his proficiency in Confucianism and was known as  Zhu Zumou is one of the four great poets in the late Qing Dynasty and compiled the famous "Three Hundred Song Ci Poems"). Even Chen Huanzhang, who is in his early thirties, is famous both at home and abroad.

    At the age of 15, Chen Huanzhang entered Guangzhou Wanmu Thatched Cottage to study under Kang Youwei. At the age of 23, he passed the provincial examination. At the age of 24, he was awarded the Jinshi by Lianjie Jiachen Enke (1904). At the age of 25, he went to the United States to study. After two years of language study, he entered Columbia University to study economics.  department, and obtained a doctorate in economics at the age of 31.  His book "Confucian Financial Management" was published by Columbia University in the "History, Economics and Public Legal Studies" series, and has been commented and affirmed by Keynes, the originator of macroeconomics, Weber, the master of sociology, etc., so he became famous.  Dai Ming, and then returned to China to form the Confucian Church.

    Another reason for the success of the Confucian Church is that Chen Huanzhang actively adopted some Western methods of organizing associations. He not only sent his book "Confucianism" to the personnel of the Ministry of Education to seek support from the Ministry of Education, but also  It also established an office as the organ of the National Confucian Federation, and founded and published the "Confucian Church Magazine" in Shanghai.  The influence of Confucius Church expanded with the publication of the magazine until it spread throughout the country.

    As the Confucian Church¡¯s influence in the north grew, a movement to establish Confucianism as the state religion was in full swing.  At that time, the National Congress was convened, and Chen Huanzhang persuaded several congressmen and asked them to propose a bill to establish Confucianism as the state religion in the House of Representatives and the Senate.  When the news came out, letters and telegrams were exchanged between the north and the south, and various social forces petitioned or opposed the provision of Confucianism as the state religion in the constitution. In particular, representatives from the Mongolian, Tibetan, and Uighur border areas responded fiercely.  Although Yuan Shikai quite agreed with the proposal in his heart, he was faced with huge pressure from the Southern Revolutionary Party at the time and was afraid that the Mongolian and Zangwei representatives would vote against him in the presidential election, so he had to use the word "drag".  In the end it was settled.

    Columbia University is not only rich in gay wives, but its economics is also famous far and wide.  As a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University, Chen Huanzhang definitely understands the relationship between input and output, so when he founded the Confucian Church, he was naturally not satisfied with just promoting the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.  Having the same thoughts as him is the president of the National Confucian Church, who is known as the "Martin Luther of Confucianism" (Liang Qichao's evaluation) and the "Confucian giant" (Chen Huanzhang's evaluation).Kang Youwei, the sage of the sea.

    Kang Youwei has been advocating Confucianism for so many years and is widely known to the people of the country, but why did he advocate Confucianism and appoint himself as its leader?  In his letter to Chen Huanzhang, he clearly outlined the curved path he envisioned to save the country, and he was full of confidence in it:

    First, establish the Confucian Church and actively promote it, striving to spread to all walks of life across the country;

    Secondly, it penetrates into the Congress. The Congress is composed of gentry who are over thirty or forty years old, and they all have a certain favorable impression of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. As long as the public relations are done properly, "the nineteen members of Congress will be members of our party";

    After taking control of the National Assembly again, he launched a general offensive to form a cabinet and strived to establish a Confucian cabinet;

    In the end, he saved the country and brought peace to the world by controlling the Congress and the cabinet.  At this point, it was considered complete. At this point, Kang Youwei could not help but write with great pride: With this, I will save the country. I almost have full power, so who can compete with me?

    ¡°In the final analysis, Kang Youwei wanted to go public through a backdoor, that is, to use the name of the Confucian Church to make great achievements in politics, in order to achieve the great cause that was not achieved during the reform and reform.  When Sun Yuanqi first learned about Kang Youwei's grand ambition through the intelligence system, he dipped his finger in tea and wrote countless "delusional people" on his desk!

    Tang Shouqian stroked his beard at this time and replied: "It is the Confucian Church! At the end of the Edo shogunate in Japan, with the invasion of European and American powers, the prestige of the shogunate continued to decline, and the domestic situation was precarious. In order to restore the royal power and unify the country, the government announced that  , actively supports shrines and Shinto, and establishes shrines and Shinto as the state religion, above other religions, and enforces it among citizens. In terms of actual effects, national Shinto has indeed played an important role in enhancing the centripetal force and cohesion of the Japanese nation in recent years.  effect!"

    Sun Yuanqi frowned slightly and said, "Does Mr. Zhe also agree with the Confucian Church?"

    Tang Shouqian was noncommittal: "It doesn't matter whether I agree or disagree. The key is whether the Confucian Church can unite the people of our country and improve our people's morale!"

    Yang Ducai smiled and said: "What Zhe Weng said is wrong. What is the Confucian Church? It is not only a Confucian group that promotes the concept of 'prospering Confucianism and relieving society', but also a Confucian group for Kang Changsu (Kang Youwei) to realize his personal ambitions."  The purpose of the private party is nothing more than to glorify the saints of the South China Sea and restore the monarchy. Is it possible that they can change their tune and support Baixi, who does not understand the Four Books and Five Classics, but knows the sound, light, electricity, and electricity? If we had not founded the New China Party, it would still be okay.  Go in and mix things up. Now that we are the largest party in Congress, do we have to sacrifice the near and far to flatter that arrogant person?"

    Tang Shouqian's face turned slightly red, and he still said to himself: "When I was in Shanghai a few days ago, Chen Chongyuan (Chen Huanzhang), the director-general of the Confucian Church, visited me. During the conversation, he talked about the saying in Mencius that 'a king will rise in five hundred years.'  He believes that it has been exactly five hundred years since Wang Yangming (Wang Shouren). In the study of human nature, there is Nanhai Confucius, and in the study of things and knowledge, there is Prime Minister Baixi. Baixi was born a sage, and if there is any benefit in the past, he will  If you have dabbled in it, you can discover things that have not been discovered by foreigners for hundreds of years. As for the minute particles of matter, as large as the vast universe, they have explored the hidden hooks and hidden hooks far and wide, making Western and Western scholars admire them. Now many schools across the country only hang two  Among the portraits, one is of Dacheng, the most holy master, and the other is Prime Minister Baixi.

    "Kang Nanhai had the ambition to clarify the world since he was a child. When he grew up, he learned everything, his vision was far-sighted, his thoughts were penetrating, and his spirit was majestic. Thousands of years later, he could use one person to inspire the spirit of the sage.  , shining a bright light on Chinese Confucianism, and living up to the name of 'sage'. The two of them complement each other, one in the south, one in the north, one internally and one externally, just like the sun and moon in the sky, and the rivers in China. It can be said that they are a perfect match! What if?  If the two of them work hand in hand, they will be able to unite the people's hearts and revive the country at an early date.

    "Although Chen Chongyuan whitewashed his teacher Kang Nanhai, our country's current education does have some unsatisfactory aspects. Among them, subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology were all revised by Bai Xi himself, so they are naturally perfect. However, the ethical outline is always,  However, there are great deficiencies in ideological cultivation. On the one hand, they intend to learn from various Western ideas, but due to the Christian teachings, it is difficult to paint the skin and bones. On the other hand, they disdain the teachings of Confucius and Mencius that have been passed down in the country for thousands of years. They wish they could  Kill them all. In the end, it will be like learning to walk in Handan, and you can¡¯t even walk!"

    Yang Duqi asked: "What does Zhe Weng mean?"

    Tang Shouqian said: "What I mean is that science in schools must of course be studied in universities. Otherwise, how can we revitalize industry and commerce and achieve national prosperity? But in terms of national education, Confucianism should be the foundation of self-cultivation. If possible, Confucianism should be made the national religion.  , then the country vigorously promotes Confucianism, integrates hundreds of schools of thought, pays attention to practicality, and consolidates the national foundation. What do you think, Baixi?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
