Since ancient times, all sages have understood the importance of self-improvement. For individuals, "self" is the most important, "I" is more important than "external objects", and "self-improvement and perfection" is the purpose of each school of thought. And this sentence is the most important core of all thoughts in the world.
But what is tragic and ridiculous is that later generations have forgotten this most important core.
For example, the three schools of thought of "Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism" are, in the final analysis, just a guidebook for self-improvement, so people and themselves are the "masters", and the methods of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are just tools for self-improvement and self-improvement. , is "secondary" and is auxiliary. And those people who regard ideas as their "primary" regardless of priority are the ones who learn to think and fall into the wrong ditch. A typical manifestation is the mutual attack on the stubborn ideas of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
In fact, to be honest, there is no problem with the collision and debate between the three schools of thought of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", and it is very necessary and worthy of encouragement. After all, the truth becomes clearer with more debate, and there are flaws in the three schools of thought of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. . If "which one" of the three "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" is really perfect, then how can the other two appear and exist? The reason why there are three schools of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" instead of one is because the shortcomings of each of the three schools will be made up for by the other two. This is also the reason why some of the three families have different views but each is good at winning.
Therefore, for those who want to improve themselves, they must ultimately learn the three schools of thought of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", and then according to their own understanding and understanding, take the essence of each of the three schools and integrate them into their own thoughts. To put it bluntly, it is to follow the path of integrating the three religions of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism".
You always think that the integration of the three religions of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" is so awesome, but as everyone knows, it is just the only way for a rational person who wants to improve himself. Just like if you want to take the college entrance examination, you must register first. It is a normal process.
And those people think that I have studied Taoism, so Confucianism and Buddhism are all wrong, so I just want to argue against you for studying Confucianism and Buddhism. This is the real reversal of priorities and putting the cart before the horse. They regard tools as " "Main" and self-improvement as "auxiliary".
How ridiculous!

The narrator said: Ye Yu, someone else said that since the Daxia Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, why not talk about the issue of land annexation?
Ye Yu said: There is no need because the land ownership is state-owned.
The narrator said: Yes, there are people waiting for Ye Yu to say this, just waiting to spray you, saying that you have no historical knowledge at all. How can the feudal system have state ownership of land?
Ye Yu said: Let me tell you, can you not be so violent? Your historical common sense is indeed correct, but that one is for normal, only "human" history, while the Great Xia Dynasty is the history of immortal cultivators and mortals. Can it be the same? Has the materialistic "everything based on reality" principle been eaten by dogs? Don’t fall into empiricism, okay? Taking history as a guide doesn’t mean you should take history as a guideline, right?
I have said before that in normal human history, land annexation is inevitable due to the greed and greed of human nature. Because at that time, everyone was a mortal, and they were all short-lived ordinary people. Everyone was fair in terms of life span. And no one who pursues immortality will end well. Which one of Qin Shihuang, Tang Taizong, Han Wu Emperor, etc. did not die of drug poisoning in the end? So since they are all short-lived, greedy people naturally regard wealth, status, and living better than others in their limited life as the most important thing. This is human nature.
But it is different in the ancient immortal realm. Imagine that you are a landowner, and a farmer you looked down upon was valued by the immortal family because of his spiritual roots and qualifications. From then on, he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality and immortality. But you can only After a hundred years, dust will return to dust, and those wealth will not be taken away until death, but that farmer you look down on has been free from the world for thousands of years.
"Why do I, a superior landowner, have to die, but that lowly peasant can live?" This may be the unwilling words that every local gentry will roar in their hearts when they are about to die.
You have to remember that nothing in this world is more important than life. Compared with life, money, wealth and status are rubbish. I don’t know how many landowners and wealthy people are willing to use everything they have in exchange for one more year of life when they are dying? Even if they just live one more day, they are willing to use all their wealth to exchange for it.
To sum up, it is because of the existence of immortal cultivators that the originally fair life span is no longer fair. In the final analysis, human nature is greedy, so the goal of those people's greed is "land" under the condition of fair life span from the beginning. , it becomes just the "life span" itself when life spans are unequal, that is, the opportunity to cultivate immortality.
Aren’t the modern people, the world’s top capitalists and the richest people, pursuing immortality and living one more day? Don’t they have a far-sighted vision than you? And doesn’t their pursuit explain everything?
So I might as well tell you directly that although the land ownership of the Great Xia Dynasty in the Prehistoric Immortal Realm was state ownership, the Great Xia Dynasty did not force the powerful local gentry at all. Because the Great Xia Dynasty, a dynasty that cultivated immortality, simply looked down upon land wealth.
The state ownership of land in the Great Xia Dynasty was given by the local gentry and powerful people who worked hard and rushed to be the first. The peasant slaves they held, and even themselves, were willing to dedicate it to the college and serve as pawns for various local colleges. "Dog" is just for the opportunity to cultivate immortality, the opportunity to live forever and live freely in the world. The only chance for the local gentry and powerful people who have no chance to cultivate immortality is in those small colleges and large colleges. As for the big sects, they are simply not qualified to give everything they have. After all, only small colleges and small sects can still value land, but big sects can’t, you know?
Ants really deserve to die if they don't know they are ants. Although both ignorance and arrogance are obstacles to survival, ignorance is a greater obstacle than arrogance.
For this reason, almost all colleges are divided into inner courtyards and outer courtyards. The outer courtyards are where the local gentry desperately strive for the opportunity to enter the academy, and the outer courtyard of the academy is also the place in the academy that specializes in dealing with these ordinary mortals. In other words, the outer courtyard of the college is the local government in the true sense, managing various places. The inner courtyard is the world of immortal cultivators
And those people hope to perform well in the outer courtyard of the college. If one day the dean discovers that you are a thousand-mile horse who is waiting for support and has the qualifications to cultivate immortality, then you can be admitted to the inner courtyard and embark on the road to immortality.
And this is the current situation in Middle-earth under the Middle-earth Academy system of the Great Xia Dynasty.
