Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Through Yunyao's deception, Xunzi and others were shocked to discover the contradictions in the world. In order to obtain the right to explain, there will inevitably be people who open their eyes and tell lies.  Staring at the jewelry and talking about dirt, staring at the dirt and talking about the jewelry, they are not speaking based on the truth, but talking nonsense and unscrupulously for the right to explain.

    Of course, the same is true for Xunzi and others, otherwise they would not be twelve sons.  It's just that they don't necessarily truly understand the nature of their actions, and they only construct their own interpretation power empirically by criticizing previous scholars.  It can be said that they were successful in establishing the inherent evil of human nature through the non-twelve sons.  This also caused other Confucian scholars to be unwilling to accept them even though they were also constructing a hierarchy of rituals and music.

    Xunzi¡¯s disciples directly became Legalists, replacing rituals and music with legal regulations. They completely found their own way and established their own right of interpretation.  Ritual and music were trampled underfoot, and laws and regulations came to the big stage, and were considered by the Qin State to be better than ritual and music.

    Xunzi realized the problem, that is, they were still fighting for the right to interpret, but they did not completely seize it.  There are still a large number of Confucian scholars who admire Yao, Shun, and Yu and believe that Yao, Shun, and Yu are the standards of a gentleman. What Xunzi said is useless.  Therefore, there are few sages and many dishonest people in the world, because no one knows which side of the gentleman is the real gentleman.

    But how should this problem be solved?

    "We are not twelve sons, and we do not worship Yao, Shun, and Yu. They can also criticize my idea of ??self-cultivation and governing the country, my idea of ??the beginning of gentlemanly etiquette, and my idea that human nature is inherently evil." Xunzi shook his gray beard and said, today he is meeting a master.  So he asked: "You say you want to make Confucianism great again, but you realize that everyone is vying for the right to interpret it. So do you admire Yao, Shun, and Yu, or do you not?"

    We need to ask whether Yun Yao worshiped Yao, Shun, and Yu. This criterion can distinguish between Xunzi's Confucianism and traditional Confucianism.

    "Of course I worship Yao, Shun, and Yu." Just kidding, Yao and Shun are two of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so they naturally have to be worshiped. Yunyao continued: "But I don't deny the evil of human nature."

    "Human nature is good, and human nature is evil. The two are completely opposite. They can only be two against one. How can they be both right?" Even Li Si couldn't help but speak this time, because the stranger's words were too powerful.

    "Then I have to ask you a question. You say that human nature is inherently evil, but you believe that learning rituals and music can make you a gentleman, and that a gentleman is the source of rituals and laws. So, did the gentleman invent rituals and music first, or did rituals and music first make a gentleman? Which one?  Which one comes first? Or is there a gentleman born from heaven, a person who is born a gentleman without learning rituals and music?" Yunyao said that this is just like everyone is guilty and needs a savior, and the pessimistic concept of human nature needs a person to save the world.  people.  Religion can say that the savior is sent by God, so how does Xunzi intend to explain where the first gentleman who saves the evil nature of human nature comes from?  It can't be sent from heaven.

    "  After all, classes already exist, it just needs to be regulated, there is no need to be a born gentleman.  He said slowly and forcefully: "Rituals are different, music is combined, etiquette already exists, music already exists, sooner or later a gentleman will be born."

    Ritual is to define classes, but after class regulations, there must also be communication, and that is the work of music. To complete the communication between various classes through music is the perfect world in Xunzi's mind.

    "That is to say, it is not that there are no gentlemen in the world, but that the world still lacks gentlemen. Everyone knows that it is dark at night, but after lighting a lamp, it lights up. Then I can say that there is no darkness in this world, there is only a lack of light.  . The same is true for the evil thoughts of human nature. There is no evil at all, just the lack of good." "The evil of human nature is the lack of good. As long as everyone can find the good, everyone will be a gentleman." Yunyao is copying other people's religious sayings  , but as long as it¡¯s easy to use.

    In Confucius¡¯ time, everyone could become a saint, but now everyone can become a gentleman. Yunyao said that only such all-encompassing core values ??can make Confucianism great again.  Yunyao is the only female disciple of Confucius. It is also good for her to make Confucianism great again.  Moreover, if Yunyao's current ideas can resist Western religion, Confucianism will be able to sustain it in the future, and there will be stumbling blocks on the way to the great development of Western religion.

    The Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism. By the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, metaphysics emerged. In fact, metaphysics was intended to seize the voice of Confucianism.  After the Sui and Tang dynasties, Western religion dominated the world. It was not until the Song Dynasty that Confucianism regained its composure and developed Neo-Confucianism, and then the Psychology of Mind. In the end, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism were mixed together.

    Therefore, respecting Confucianism alone does not mean that Confucianism can really stand.  Later generations criticized Confucianism because everyone needed to reestablish their right to speak, and Confucianism was repeatedly used to beat the corpse.  Therefore, whether we admire Confucianism or oppose Confucianism, it does not matter whether Confucianism itself is good or bad. What matters is who has the right to speak, and who has the right to explain good things.?On hand.

    People who support Confucianism can tell a thousand good things about Confucianism, and people who oppose Confucianism can tell a thousand bad things about Confucianism. Therefore, if you only talk about the good and bad things, you will be in trouble forever, but the important thing is to have the right to speak.  With the right to speak, Taoist thought can turn into Confucianism, Mohist thought can turn into Confucianism, Western religious thought can turn into Confucianism, and even scientific thought can turn into Confucianism, and a live show of calling a deer a horse can be staged.

    Without the right to speak, Confucianism becomes someone else¡¯s wedding dress.

    "There is no evil, only the lack of good. It is inherent in a gentleman. If you don't see it, it is the lack of a gentleman?"

    Everyone was shocked. They didn¡¯t expect that Xunzi would become a disciple of this young man in his twenties?  Xunzi became someone's disciple, so wouldn't they become the disciples of a twenty-year-old boy?

    Li Si and Han Fei couldn't help but look at each other. They were also shocked by Xunzi's determination.  Li Si couldn't understand it, but Han Fei knew that this was the person who truly sought the way of heaven and was the real scholar.  Ordinary people¡¯s pursuit of Tao is enough for interpretation, but true idealists will pursue Tao itself.

    The Master said, "When three people are walking together, they must have me as their teacher."  Therefore, Xunzi was willing to worship Yunyao as his teacher.

    Yunyao was naturally unwilling. After all, Xunzi and Han Feizi were among the last of the hundreds of schools of thought.  But just when she was about to refuse, a sudden flash of inspiration occurred. It seemed that heaven had opened an opening for Yunyao to accept Xunzi as her disciple.  This was something that had never happened before. When she met Zhuangzi before and after Zhuangzi wanted to become his disciple, Yunyao only felt a chill on the back of her neck.  But this time when Xunzi became a disciple, Yunyao seemed to have his heavenly spirit cap cleared. This was because heaven was opening a back door.

    Yunyao thought that Tiandao had a seizure again?  In fact, she came here to fool around, just to help Confucianism in the end. After all, we can't just fight against Western religion on our own. Confucianism can become the main force against Western religion.  By the way, she found a few people to go to Zhucheng to study and take the Heavenly Official Examination, but she didn't expect that Heavenly Dao would allow her to accept Xunzi as her disciple.  This change made Yunyao confused. What did Tiandao want to do?

    Yunyao thought she could predict the way of heaven, but she was too naive. Instead, it was the way of heaven that predicted Yunyao's prediction.  Yunyao thought that it was impossible for her to have a disciple from hundreds of schools of thought, but the way of heaven decided to let her accept Xunzi as her disciple. She could use a move that would stun Du Niang, which showed the unpredictable power of the way of heaven.
