A loud shout, followed by the morning bells and evening drums of Wangbei Academy, vibrated in the mountains, making people's eardrums ache.
This effect is undoubtedly explosive, and it takes advantage of the terrain and acoustics to give people a powerful pressure.
The few people following Liu Zheng looked at each other with worry in their hearts.
This has just begun, but the academy has already stabilized its momentum.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and continued to look up at the towering steps.
The steps pause slightly.
"If the world were to love each other, and love others as if they were themselves, would there still be those who are unfilial? Would they still treat their father, brother, and king as if they were themselves, and would they do evil and be unfilial? Are there still those who would be unkind?
Is there still a situation where the great officials want to disrupt their families and the princes want to attack the country? If you treat others as your own, who will cause chaos? If you regard other people's countries as your own, who will attack them? Therefore, the feudal lords will disrupt their families, and the feudal lords will attack each other and the country will perish. If the world loves each other, countries do not attack each other, families do not quarrel with each other, thieves and thieves are eliminated, and kings, ministers, fathers and sons can all be filial and kind, then the world will be governed.
Therefore, the sage, whose main task is to govern the world, cannot help but encourage love when he is evil! Therefore, if the world loves each other, it will be governed, and if they love each other, it will lead to chaos. "
"Liu Zhizhou, what do you think?"
This passage is eloquent and the tone is ups and downs.
In fact, there is only one core sentence, which is "If the world loves each other, it will be governed, and if it is evil, it will lead to chaos."
And this is the core idea of Mozi and Mohism, universal love and non-politics!
Love is non-political, and naturally non-aggression is required!
These words not only explained that Wangbei Academy admired Mohism and relied on the "Mo Jing" to make its fortune, but also reprimanded Liu Zheng for his ugly behavior of bombarding the academy.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly when he heard this.
Mohist family...
In his opinion, they have always been a group of guys with serious romantic sentiments. Let them govern the country? That's definitely not realistic. The development of Mohist thought paid special attention to the enlightenment of logical concepts. Therefore, the Mohists are good at preaching. Not only are they good at preaching, they also pay special attention to the initiative of "strongly persuading people".
Liu Zheng admired the development and contribution of Mohists in engineering very much.
However, he felt that the Mohists were very extreme and lacked tolerance.
It is too nihilistic, too ethereal, and too extreme. Even the love of the Mohist family is like the Buddha, cutting meat to feed eagles, but there is no religious-like organizational structure to support it. This also led to the immediate disintegration of the Mohist school after Mozi's death.
Isn't this the case for Wangbei Academy at this time?
The first person to ask questions is so difficult.
Others looked at it one after another.
Situ Kong also continued to smile, waiting for Liu Zheng's answer.
After all, no matter what era it is, the Mohist ideas are extremely romantic, extremely attractive, extremely logical, and difficult to argue with.
Liu Zheng chuckled and replied: "Government lies in Tao, not in saints. Sir, what do you think Tao is?"
he shouted loudly.
The sound also echoed around.
Situ Kong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The person who asked the question had no reply for a long time.
A very simple sentence.
Immediately left speechless.
What's the use of talking about so much nonsense?
Let me ask you this: when governing the world, do you focus on methods or what you call saints? The Tao here is not the Taoist Tao, but the principles and methods! Is a relatively systematic set of principles for governing the country more important, or is the saint you expect more important?
People with a long history always need a set of clear, tenable and up-to-date theories. Even theories need to be innovated.
And what can the so-called saints do in comparison?
Moreover, what the Mohists long for is that everyone in the entire society is a saint... Is it possible? They are all saints. Who should listen to the country as a machine?
"color!"
"Thumbs up!"
After a brief silence, cheers rang out from the mountains.
Liu Zheng did not start from Confucianism or Taoism, otherwise, he would fall into the other party's language trap.
The first step is so difficult.
Liu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After waiting for a moment, there was no more sound.
He looked back at Situ Kong, who smiled and nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue moving forward.
Okay...
Co-authorship is not something everyone will issue a debate about. Otherwise, I will definitely die from exhaustion here today.
When we reached the seventh step, a clear whistle sounded again.
"Liu Zhizhou respects the great road, thinking that the way of heaven, the way of kings, the way of humanity, the way, what kind of way is it?"
Good guy.
This is another big topic.
…
"Xie Chan..."
Xie Ling stared at these three words and fell into deep thought.
This is a letter written by Liu Zheng to Xie Chan. Because of the uncertainty of ancient flying pigeons delivering letters, generally three letters need to be written and sent out at different times. This can largely avoid encountering natural enemies. , there will always be one letter that falls into the hands of the recipient.
At this time, what they intercepted was one of them.
Liu Zheng didn't write much in the letter. He only asked after greeting Xie Chan. After arriving in Liangzhou, he had various questions about whether he felt comfortable or not. Then, he comforted Xie Chan, who had just lost her parents, and asked her to have a good life in Longzhou. Yan, cultivate for a period of time.
It seemed like an ordinary letter, but Xie Ling felt that it was not simple.
First, it has been a long time since they intercepted Liu Zhizhou's letter. He rarely wrote to a woman in a personal capacity, and this was the first time.
Secondly, the surname "Xie" was the surname of the royal family in the Longyan Dynasty. Even if you are not a member of the royal family, you can get involved.
Thirdly, this woman is from the Western Region, and she is also the general of the Western Region Construction Corps... This identity, coupled with the death of her parents, and the sentence "General Xie should deal with the choice of history calmly..."
What kind of person can relate to the big topic of history?
Sudden.
Xie Ling was shocked.
Xie Xuan of Dayuan Kingdom?
Xie Xuan, Xie Chan...
Oh My God!
Suddenly a dazzling light burst out from his eyes.
Is this Xie Xuan’s daughter?
The dignified general of the Western Region Construction Corps is actually Xie Xuan's daughter? Not only that, she also led troops and forced her parents to death?
These things were too much information and he needed to digest them.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong..."
"Quickly, quickly, send this urgent matter to Jinghua. Remember, don't send messages with flying pigeons. Hurry up and send it to my mother, let her decide!"
"yes!"
…
Another big topic.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly.
The way of heaven, the way of kings, and the way of humanity.
The way of heaven.
It belongs to the category of ancient Chinese philosophy. The literal meaning is the law of heaven's movement. Because people have different explanations of heaven, their understanding of the way of heaven is also different. The way of heaven is often symmetrical to the way of humanity, which generally refers to the norms or laws of human behavior. Most ancient Chinese philosophers believed that the way of heaven and the way of humanity are consistent and based on the way of heaven. Some philosophers maintain that the way of heaven is an objective natural law and that heaven and man do not interfere with each other.
The term "Kingly Way" first came from Mencius' theory. The two major contents of the Kingly Way theory and its realization in Confucius' ideological system are benevolence and propriety. Mencius inherited more of the theory of "benevolence" in Confucius's theory.
However, at this time, these three "Taos" are placed here. To put it simply, they are adding responsibility. Liu Zheng's answer just now.
The way of heaven is the rules of heaven and earth. The way of kingship is the way a monarch governs a country, and the way of humanity should be the way of all living beings (the monarch is a being who is higher than all living beings).
You asked just now, what is the Tao?
Now let me ask you back.
What is the way!
This is just the seventh step...
