Having said this, Wang Xiaolie raised his head and looked at the sky.
The sun was covered by clouds, leaving only a vague shadow. The clouds are stacked on top of each other, like waves, as if the sea is draped over the head.
There was still no wind and it was still oppressively hot. The cicada on the tree suddenly seemed to have strength and screamed heartbreakingly.
"In fact, we can't explain clearly what is heaven and what is Tao. Xunzi said that heaven's behavior is constant. It does not exist for Yao and does not perish for Jie. If it is governed, it will be good, and if it is chaos, it will be bad. In other words, , Heaven’s affairs probably have little to do with human affairs. To say that he is the Son of Heaven actually means that the King of Zhou treated Heaven with his son. It is hard to say whether Heaven recognizes this son in the world. If there really is a Heaven and there is such a son in the world, then the world When there is turmoil and the people are in chaos, there should always be some expression. Some people ask God for divination, and some people burn incense and pray. Others say that natural disasters are warnings, and auspiciousness is God's approval. There are all kinds of methods. .To this day, it seems unreliable.”
Having said this, the corners of Wang Xiaolie's mouth raised slightly. When the Jin army besieged Kaifeng Mansion, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty didn't know what they were thinking. They approached Guo Jing and told him that there were some Liujia magic soldiers, and staged a farce in front of the army.
"In addition to these, there is another way. Taishu said, God sees me and the people see, and God listens to me and the people. From ancient times to the present, the understanding of this sentence is still insufficient. Instead of asking God for divination, it is better to believe what Taishu said. . What heaven sees is what the people see. What heaven hears is what the people hear. It may be more appropriate to seek the way of heaven by what the people see and what the people hear."
Hearing this, the people below couldn't help but couldn't help but whisper to each other. This sentence comes from "Shangshu" and is quoted in "Mencius". Everyone is familiar with the classics, so they naturally know it. But how do I understand it? I really have never heard what Wang Xiaolie said.
Wang Xiaolie said: "The key here is that the people see and the people listen, which people? In other words, among the people in the world, which ones are the people and which are not the people? There are tens of millions of people in the world, who are the people who see? And what are the people? Who will listen?"
At this point, Wang Xiaolie sighed: "If we don't understand this issue clearly, this sentence is equivalent to saying nothing. He said that FTV is black, and another person said it is white. So, is FTV black or white? He said If Minting is said to be rain, and another person says it is wind, then is Minting said to be wind or rain? It is not so easy to understand this question."
"To solve this problem, we must clarify the relationship between the individual and the whole. To clarify this problem, it is not enough to just clarify the relationship between the individual and the whole. We need to be clear about what people see and hear, and how to know it. People see and people hear.”
"We live in this world. First of all, we are a person. We have our own joys, sorrows, and joys, what we hope for, and what we hate. In addition, we have parents and brothers and sisters. When we grow up, , will also form a new family with a woman. Parents, husband and wife, plus children, become a small family. Add brothers and sisters, grandfather, grandmother, and other relatives to form a big family. Many big families When families are put together, they form clans. When clans are put together, they form nations. When nations are put together, they form states. Many states form the world. The world plus the land beyond is the world. This world is one Ring within ring, there are both individuals and different wholes.”
"The key is, in addition to individual wishes, do these groups also have their own wishes? The so-called people's vision and hearing, in addition to the vision and hearing of individual people, does it also need to add the vision and hearing of these groups? These many visions and hearings How to distinguish between FTV and FTV? How can we summarize it into FTV and FTV? It’s so confusing, how do we know what we need to know?”
At this point, Wang Xiaolie stopped. After thinking about what I just said, I feel as if I didn't say anything, and it feels like a bit of nonsense. This question may start with nonsense and slowly sort out the thoughts.
"I believe that to truly understand FTV and FHD, we must understand the relationship between the individual and the whole. This issue is a big political issue. Once there is ambiguity, huge loopholes will be exploited."
At this point, Wang Xiaolie suddenly stopped. Looking at the crowd, I felt a little unable to speak.
How easy is it to figure this out? Throughout the ages, many things have been so confusing. When you say it, it's brilliant, but when you do it, it's a mess. There are many systems that look perfect but are full of loopholes when used.
After a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "Everyone, please write down this question and think about what to do. In short, the political thought of us Han people is that there is heaven and we govern the people with heaven's way. What is heaven's way? There is no way to explain it. That’s a lot.”
"Businessmen do everything by divination, and in the end they lose the world. The Zhou people governed the country with Zhou Rites, but in the end the Rites collapsed. The First Emperor burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, and ordered the world to use officials as teachers. All state affairs were based on his own will. Qin II Death. These lessons tell us that it is useless if you just borrow the name of Heaven and let your tongue bloom like a lotus. Heaven must truly use Heaven to govern the country."
"When Sima Junshi was the prime minister, he once said that the prime minister uses Dao to assist the people and implement the rules. If you don't use the rules, you will be subordinate to the officials! Now it seems that what Sima Junshi said may be right, but he really doesn't know what Dao is. . If you want to be an official, you must know the way of heaven. When you do things, you really don’t need to use examples, and you don’t have to be like a public official. However, you must know the examples and clearly understand why the examples are like this. When you enter school, you must learn both theory and Some examples. Learning examples is not so that you can copy them when you become officials in the future, but to understand why they are like this."
"The things I'm talking about today are general and cannot be taught in schools. What I said before is the understanding of the way of heaven. We believe that the way of heaven is not to ask gods for divination, not to look at natural disasters and auspiciousness, nor to make blind guesses. It is to look at the people. See, the people listen, and know what the people want. We cannot just do whatever the people think, but we must do it correctly. This is not easy, so we must choose outstanding talents to be officials. "
"From praying to gods and asking for divination, to talking about etiquette, to the First Emperor, the world is determined by one person, to the monarch and his ministers working together, to the dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats co-ruling the world, this is a process. We go one step further and say that the way of heaven is determined by the people of the world. We The problem to be solved in the future is how to clearly know what the people of the world see and hear, and how to know their wishes. Regarding the way of heaven, from looking up to heaven, to looking for traces of natural disasters and auspiciousness everywhere, to asking for help from the people, I think it is a Progress. This progress can solve many of the problems we are facing now."
Having said this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head. Somewhat helplessly: "But to be honest, no matter what methods we find, as long as rulers and officials give up their ideals, the methods will be useless. Under the way of heaven, officials must have ideals. Without ideals, only It’s impossible to think about the fireworks in the mortal world. It’s even more impossible to change the system because you don’t have ideals.”
"When a person is an individual, he has his own joys and sorrows and can live his life according to his own ideas. But officials are different. They cannot act according to their own joys, sorrows and joys, but must act according to the rules. In other words, as an official, There is no question of what I think should be done, only what I should do as an official. There is no question of what I think, but only what I, as an official in this position, should think. Officials must consider the overall situation and cannot ignore the individual. This is Things are never as easy as you thought before."
"In this world, we are like actors, playing roles one after another. Some are farmers, some are businessmen, some are husbands, some are doctors, and some are workers. The role of an official has high requirements for actors. It’s the hardest to act.”
