Chapter 443 Difficulties

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A warning thunder reminded Yunyao of the true meaning of the City God Temple, which is to resist the invasion of Western religions.  However, the great rise of Western religion is not only due to the strength of the saints, but also because the core of Western teachings has amazing appeal.

    Talents who can resist the Western religion are the best choices for the City God Tianguan. However, Yunyao can't pick one out at all, and no immortal will offend the Western religion in order to help Yunyao.  Because even if Yunyao really succeeds, it will completely offend the Western religion. Yunyao wants to drive a nail against the Western religion in every city.

    Regardless of whether it works or not, it will definitely offend people.

    But Yunyao still decided to continue selecting Tianguan, and she had to think carefully about how to select a steadfast candidate.

    The best way to resist religion is to have other beliefs, such as those who believe in the Huayi debate.

    Of course, it is best to choose someone who is extremely smart and can accept the core value of equality for all, but throw back the Western teachings that all methods are empty.  The best candidates are those who have received education that everyone is equal and have a perfect soul. Such people do not need the superfluous teachings of the West at all.

    "It's a pity that equality for everyone was invented by religion and cannot be concluded from social experience.  Therefore, all schools of thought have no concept of equality. When Yun Yao entered Confucianism, he left a statement that everyone can become a saint. Unfortunately, this part of the record was regarded as a fake book and was not taken seriously by Confucian students at all.

    Because in their minds, it was impossible for Confucius to have female disciples. Even if this part of the record was true, it would not have been said by a woman.  Besides, it is simply impossible for everyone to become a saint.

    In fact, everyone can be a saint, which is the Yangming Mind Theory that absorbs the essence of Buddhist thought. Conscience must be found in the heart, and conscience is the foundation of a saint.

    ?????????? It¡¯s very similar to the Buddhist idea of ??knowing one¡¯s mind and seeing one¡¯s nature. Everyone has Buddha-nature, and even all things have Buddha-nature.

    In the Central Plains, there is a saying that all things have animism, but animism does not mean that all things are equal.  As an empiricist nation, we have sufficiently accurate experience summaries in the abstract world, but it is difficult to create fictional content.

    After all, fictional things have no immediate help to the down-to-earth farming civilization and cannot improve productivity. Therefore, the existence of Zhuangzi is extremely precious, because Zhuangzi used his magnificent imagination to come up with such unfathomable imagination as "Zhuang Zhou Dreams of Butterflies".  It is particularly precious to this nation with its face facing the loess and its back facing the sky.

    The issues considered by scholars in the Central Plains are very realistic, that is, peace and long-term stability in the world, rather than where people come from and where they are going. These issues are not helpful at all for farming.

    The scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period did not believe that everyone is equal, because they have accepted the differences in the division of labor in society. They do not think there is a problem with the current division of labor in society. They just think that there is something wrong with people themselves, and that there is something wrong with people's consciousness that needs to be treated.  , as long as everyone is conscious, then the world will be peaceful.

    Of course, the situation was different after the emergence of Legalism. They did not think that there was a problem with people, but that there was a problem with the social structure, so Legalists wanted to reform the law.  The situation of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is different from that of the Warring States Period, so changes must be made and the ancient system cannot be followed.

    Yun Yao left a profound impact on both Confucianism and Mohism. However, these remarks were not enough to immediately change the entire social environment.  Because it is impossible to change the increasingly fierce conflicts between man and land, the increasingly fierce gap between rich and poor, and the increasingly fierce international conflicts in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period by relying on words alone.

    It is impossible to solve the problem with theory alone. After all, theory cannot make a big cake and make everyone live a good life.

    In fact, Yunyao's greatest contribution to the Spring and Autumn Period should be in medicine and agriculture. When she was in the Mohist family, she provided a lot of medical knowledge and greatly improved the efficiency of agricultural production.  But in the end, it only raised more people, but did not break the distribution relationship.

    Originally, it was possible for the Mohist family to mildly modify the distribution relationship, but unfortunately the giant was transferred away by Hongjun. Taoist Lingbao's main focus was on maintaining the unity of the Mohist family, so the path of the Mohist family finally stopped, and finally became  An organization like a civil mutual aid association.

    The path to changing the world with technology will eventually fail.

    The ideas left by Yunyao are almost useless in this war-torn era, because everyone has to bow to reality. Even Mencius suggested that the King of Qi should annex the Yan State in civil strife. This was Mencius who talked about benevolence and righteousness. At the critical moment  We always start from a realistic perspective.

    So it is not surprising that Legalists can stand out because they are committed to solving practical problems rather than simply proposing theories. They pay more attention to operations, that is, the redistribution of interests.

    Theory is useless for profit distribution, it still needs to be practiced.

    Yunyao analyzed the ideas of the Central Plains philosophers andThe difference between Western teachings is that all the disciples are committed to solving practical problems, while Western teachings want to solve the problem of why to live, and also want to answer the various sufferings in life.

    The scholars will not consider the issue of suffering. After all, suffering has always accompanied the human race. Why should we consider this kind of thing?  As long as you can live a peaceful farming life, isn't it normal to suffer a little?

    Therefore, "Yi Zhuan" has long said that a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. Instead of thinking about the reason for suffering, it is better to accept it and continue to strive for self-improvement.

    For things that can be changed, such as wars, floods, and plagues, the Central Plains people all despise them, because these factors that will affect farming must be changed with their own hands.

    For things that cannot be changed, such as the seven emotions and six desires, such as pain and sadness, such as gods and ghosts, all the scholars choose to avoid talking about it and persuade people to do good.  We talked about it just to let people farm well, not really trying to explain clearly.

    But if someone comes to explain it, people in the Central Plains will not refuse it, and will even be very happy to accept it.  Buddhism teaches people to escape from suffering and has become a safe haven for many people.

    "To escape reality and enter emptiness, this is to escape reality and enter emptiness." Yunyao knew that after the arrival of Western teaching, the Central Plains entered the stage of escaping reality and entering emptiness.

    ??From Tianxingjian¡¯s constant self-improvement to escaping from the sea of ??suffering, it is actually an escape, an escape for the whole people.

    Going from reality to reality is like a black hole, which can easily bring down a nation.  Because it is easy to comfort yourself in your mind, but it is difficult to strive for self-improvement in reality.

    Society is unfair and efforts may not be rewarded, which will undermine everyone¡¯s confidence.  When self-improvement in reality becomes a luxury wish, it is much easier to find comfort in the soul. Anyone in the spiritual world can become Ah Q.

    It is easy to escape reality and enter emptiness, but it is difficult to escape emptiness and enter reality.

    Fortunately, hundreds of schools of thought have left behind a lot of operational experience, so it¡¯s still too early to turn back after leaving reality.  Without the experience of hundreds of schools of thought, it would be even more difficult to climb out of the quagmire after escaping reality into emptiness, because there is no experience to refer to, and you have no idea what to do to get out of emptiness and into reality.

    The experience left by various schools of thought is the best weapon to face the great rise of Western religion. It is like a rope. No matter how far China has gone from reality to reality, as long as it still wants to turn back, it can always pull the rope and climb up.  .

    So Yunyao realized that to deal with Western religion, he still had to make use of existing ideas.
