Chapter 588 The first step in rebuilding the Confucian sect (Roglio

No matter how Confucianism develops later and how it is evaluated by later generations, since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism's status in Chinese civilization has been unshakable. After absorbing the essence of various schools of thought, Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was far from Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, "scholars must not be broad-minded and resolute, and have a long way to go", and the spirit of "daring to be the first in the world" has been further developed, even more excessive.

Unfortunately, this is the last masterpiece. When the ideal is shattered, the mentality of scholars collapsed, and when they turned to the Wei and Jin style under the oppression of imperial power, the backbone of scholars was bent. From then on, Confucianism no longer had the heroic spirit of "If the emperor is not good, change one", and only the grievance and desire of choosing the master and serving the people. The power of the king is sacred and inviolable, but the power of the ministers is surrendered again and again, and eventually becomes the slaves of the king.

Scholars are the elites of society. When the elites of a society regard themselves as slaves, this society cannot be positive. In comparison, the most responsible ones are the scholars of the Han Dynasty. Perhaps it is because they have not been far away from ancient times, or perhaps because they have not been destroyed and have the rare reckless spirit of scholars in later generations.

But the disaster has come. The two party finings, especially the second party fining, have made the party members feel the hideousness and ruthlessness of the imperial power. However, they are not convinced, but they gather together to launch a stronger impact on the imperial power. However, they do not know that because of the innate idealism of Confucianism, they are destined not to succeed, and the leader Yuan Shao, who was entrusted with great hope, has given up their ideals at this moment and is determined to build a world that belongs to him.

Cao Cao and Sima Yi were both the successors of Yuan Shao, but the inheritance methods were different, one was on the left and the other was on the right.

Not all scholars are not aware of the danger. On the contrary, there are many brave men who have tried to reform Confucianism itself throughout the ages. The dispute between ancient and modern literature has the shadow of the struggle between interests, but it also contains the ideological tendency to improve Confucianism. Ancient literature scholars try to use the simplicity of ancient literature to change the cumbersome and empty atmosphere of modern literature. More and more people have the purpose of practicing both modern literature and ancient literature.

"Zuo Zhuan" is an ancient classic. Zhang Zhao himself is a potential reformer, but he himself may not realize this. However, Sun Ce knew that unlike Cai Yong, who was a pure scholar, Zhang Zhao had a strong motivation to use worldly affairs. He was a practical school and paid more attention to the fate of Confucianism. He came to Zhang Zhao because he believed that Zhang Zhao himself had a tendency to reform and might accept his ideas.

Sure enough, when it comes to the fate of Confucianism, Zhang Zhao dared not take it lightly and his attitude was very sincere. As a Confucian scholar, he never hoped that Confucian scholar would become an unofficial scholar like the Taoist scholar, and he did not hope that Confucian scholar would die like the Mo Sect. This issue is more important than his personal life, death, honor and disgrace.

"General, please speak out."

Sun Ce refused to say it, and shook his head with a smile. "Mr. Fu, this issue is related to the future of Confucianism. It cannot be explained clearly in just one sentence or two sentences, and it is not easy to complete it with a few articles. I think that from the moment Confucianism becomes a science, Confucianism has inherent shortcomings. Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man seem to be integrating the essence of a hundred schools of thought into a furnace, but in fact it has absorbed the inherent disadvantages of the various schools. In addition, the past few hundred years of perplexity has become a problem. Just like a bronze sword, the quality is not as good as steel, and it is also inlaid with some messy things, mixed with a lot of impurities. If you don't make up your mind to refine it, no matter how you repair it, it will not be comparable to the new sword."

Zhang Zhao was a little impatient. "The general doesn't have to go around. No matter how difficult it is, he has to do it. No matter how far it is, the first step is only six feet."

Sun Ce smiled. "Mr. Fu thinks, compared to my father, is it better to be better than me, or is it that I look ahead and suddenly come back?"

Zhang Zhao closed his mouth. He understood what Sun Ce meant. Confucius, the Confucian disciple, promoted the respectful position of saints. No matter how arrogant scholars were, they dared not say that they could surpass Confucius. Confucius' most proud disciple Yan Hui was called "one of the most knowledgeable people," and he dared not say that he surpassed Confucius. "Looking ahead, suddenly behind" was his admiration for Confucius. This also led to a consequence. No one could explain Confucian classics that could not go against Confucius. They recited the scriptures throughout their lives and did not dare to step out of barriers. Later, they evolved into learning methods and family rules. Not only Confucius could not violate them, but even the teacher's explanation could not be opposed, otherwise they would be despised and betrayed.

Judging from Sun Ce's opinion, he not only opposed learning from the law and family law, but also against Confucius. He wanted to be superior to his superiority and was unwilling to follow him.

It's just like that, is Confucianism or Confucianism?

"General... is very confident. Of course, this is a good thing, but if you are too confident, it will become conceited." Zhang Zhao did not give him face just because Sun Ce was the lord and said bluntly. "General thinks he is already out of his prime?"

"Whether I am a young man now is not the key to the problem. The key is that I will aim for this, be brave and diligent, and will not set limits on myself. One day, I even hope that I can surpass my ancestors." Sun Ce smiled slightly. "Do you dare to have such ambition?"

Zhang Zhaoyu said choking. He was indeed not as arrogant as Sun Ce and did not dare to challenge his teacher, let alone Confucius.

Sun Ce stood up. "Mr. Fu, there is a disease in the Confucian school. Are you afraid of medical treatment? Watching the Confucian school fade step by step, or facing reality, peeling the belly, washing the intestines and waving the heart, and recreating the Confucian school? The opportunity is in your hands. I hope the Confucian school will think twice." He took two steps and turned back. "Zhang Fen is very talented in wood school. Within three or five years, I believe he can preside over a wood school independently."

Zhang Zhao was slightly stunned and looked at Sun Ce in confusion. "General... did he say goodbye to him?"

"No, this matter does not require me to express my feelings. I just hope that the Lord of the Fu can take this as an opportunity to rethink the future of the Confucian Sect. Didn't you just say that the Confucian Sect opposes only strange skills and tricks, and does not oppose all the techniques. He is helping me transform the warship now, which is not considered strange skills, right? In fact, Taoism is not contrary to each other. Many people look down on skills because they do not understand skills, and they do not understand the Tao behind the skills. Taoism is also a vague thing. People use it every day but do not know it, but scholars must know it. Guojun, are you right? "

Zhang Zhao couldn't help laughing. "The general is good at kissing his lips and has the talent of a debater, which makes me speechless for a while. Can the general give an example?"

Sun Ce smiled and looked at Zhang Zhao for a moment with his head tilted. "I heard that those who are good at reading can undoubtedly become suspicious. Does the Duke have such care in his daily life?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head. "For example?"

"For example, all things in the world will fall to the ground no matter how high they are thrown. It's just a matter of time. Why do the sun and the moon pass through billions of years but not even closer? And why do dew drops become beads instead of other shapes? Why do the southeast winds often spring and summers, and northwest winds often fall to the northwest winds? There are countless questions like this just by thinking about it. The Confucian school talks about the induction of heaven and man, but do you really know the heaven?"
