Volume Five The History of Heavy Trees Chapter 792: Confucianism and Legalism
Wang Maoru asked who was the supervisor of the Luanzhou coal mine and how could he think of such benefits? Fei Wanting said that this person was called Tang Xiaozheng and was a disabled officer of the National Defense Army. Wang Maoru thought about it and could vaguely remember this person, but there were millions of people in the National Defense Army. How could he remember them all? Feng Yinbin introduced that this person was a student of Zhejiang Normal University in the early years. He abandoned his pen and joined the army to the National Defense Army, but lost an arm in the battle. The National Defense Army arranged for him to work in the local government. This person was very capable and was called the Prime Minister of Broken Arm. Two years ago, the National Defense Army occupied Luanzhou Coal Mine and appointed him as the Governor of the Luanzhou Coal Mine.
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "This person is interesting. Well, he has the ability. He needs to cultivate it." He asked Fei Wanting what he was going to come here again. After eating, Fei Wanting wiped her mouth and said that this time she came to ask you about the evaluation of the "Ninth Treaty of Civil 9", and there was nothing else to think about it. Wang Maoru touched her chin and said that I didn't think about him, but you don't think about him. Fei Wanting was stunned at first, and then her face turned red suddenly. Seeing this, Feng Yinbin quickly cleaned up the tragedy and left the office. As soon as Feng Yinbin left, Fei Wanting became even more uneasy. She stammered in an interview, but she didn't speak up. Such a one-on-one interview made the big reporter not know how to proceed.
Wang Maoru smiled and said to reporter Fei Da, it would be better to invite you to the Six Kingdoms Hotel for Western food someday. Let's talk while eating. Hello, continue the interview. Fei Wanting nodded quickly, left like flying, and almost tripped to the threshold and fell down. Feng Yinbin came in and looked obedient, fǎngfo was saying to Master, you can't force yourself to do whatever you want, this thing is your affection...
"Stop thinking about it!" Wang Maoru saw Feng Yinbin's eyes rolling so hard that he didn't know how dirty he was, so he quickly scolded him.
"Report! Minister Li is here." Feng Yinbin said quickly.
After Li Ziwen came, Wang Maoru ordered him to instruct the media to expose the fact that Japan discriminated against the Chinese, and gradually revealed that it was to exaggerate Japan's insult to China, causing the exclusive response of the people, mobilize the nerves of the people, and stimulate the nationality and shame of the people. Li Ziwen was a little worried about whether this move would cause the national to react excessively. After the nationality was mobilized, it was very likely to trigger the emergence of extreme left national forces. What will these extreme left national elements do?
Wang Maoru laughed and said, what to do? It’s easy to do. If we let them join the army, the army needs extreme leftists. Then Wang Maoru told him about the current role of the Ministry of Culture and asked the Ministry of Culture to promote the Chinese martial arts and the new Confucian and Legal culture.
The so-called martial arts is to restore the martial arts of the Chinese, especially the Han people. The disappearance of the Han people originated from the beginning of Confucian culture in the Han Dynasty, and was broader than the need to consolidate the imperial power in the Song Dynasty, and also removed the only martial arts of Confucian culture. After two artificial changes by Dong Zhongshu and Zhu Xi, Confucian culture even gave up the six arts of gentlemen, music, sprint, sprint, sprint, and sprint. Traditional Confucian culture promotes ritual and music education, and Confucian scholars should be both civil and military, while the Song Dynasty, especially the Confucian scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, completely became nerds without any power.
What does imperial power need? Imperial power requires such nerds. In addition to being loyal to the emperor, such nerds can only read, write, recite poems and writes. After castration, Confucian culture became a shackle that restricts Chinese thought. In turn, it also became a "iron chain" connecting Chinese culture. Therefore, Confucian culture has advantages and disadvantages, and cannot be completely denied, but it cannot be criticized. Wang Maoru asked Li Ziwen to propose improvements to the cultural circle of the Republic of China, calling it the Chinese New Culture Movement, and the core of the Chinese New Culture Movement is martial arts and Confucian culture.
Martial arts are actually closely related to the restoration of Confucian culture. Confucian culture, especially primitive Confucian culture rather than the Confucian culture required by imperial power, is actually a reflection on people's existence in the world. After several revisions, the thinking of Confucian scholars was removed, leaving only reading.
Wang Maoru emphasized to Li Ziwen that the role of the Ministry of Culture is to guide the national thought, especially after China's nearly three hundred years of rule by the Qing Dynasty, the people's sense of identity with the country was extremely low. Modern China suffered repeated defeats, which also seriously hit the people's self-confidence. It can be said that at this time, the national level urgently needed a sweet spring to nourish it to repair the Chinese people's belief in jingshén. Therefore, it became an urgent need to repair the requirements of martial arts in Confucian culture and re-promote the true Confucius and Mencius Confucian culture.
Wang Maoru said to Li Ziwen in a deep and profound way: "Others can't see the importance of culture, but you and I have to understand why China is not clear about its political system now, and why everyone wants to be the king of the mountain? It is because there is a problem with the Chinese people's thoughts. Since Zhu Xi, the Chinese people's thoughts have become serious illnesses. The Ministry of Culture is to cure diseases and save people. Our Chinese culture is brilliant. In ancient times, all countries came to court, so why did people become more despised after the Song Dynasty? On that side, Zhu Xi, a bastard, castrated China's culture. He made us Chinese put down the knife of counterattack and use their necks to fight the enemy when encountering invasion. Your Ministry of Culture must repair ancient Chinese culture and reproduce the true Confucian culture. At the same time, we must emphasize the importance of law, so this move is called Confucian and Legal culture."
The so-called Confucian and Legal culture combines Confucian culture and Legal culture. Confucian culture emphasizes the importance of personal cultivation too much. However, when a person has bad morals, Confucian culture is powerless to do anything about it and can only use the conventional rules of family rule to fight violence. Legal culture puts forward strict requirements on every code of conduct. The Qin Dynasty was a country with Legalism and ruled the country with strict punishment. However, Legalists overemphasized the rule of law and overemphasized punishment, which led to the people's resistance.
In the Legalist thought, if you do something wrong, you need to be punished, and you don’t even have the chance to correct it. Rules, systems and execution, strong people, and the country under the Legalist rule are a strict machine. When he started a war, the state machine became a war machine. Qin was stronger than the Legalist and died from the Legalist. However, in the Qin Dynasty, officials did not dare to embezzle and accept bribes. For example, the pavilion chief Liu Bang was equivalent to the police station chief in later generations. He even had to eat and drink freely, and could not even find a wife locally.
Therefore, when Wang Maoru proposed Confucianism and Legal culture, Li Ziwen was very awkward. He didn't know how to combine Confucianism and Legalism. One emphasized human cultivation and the other emphasized the requirements of rules on people. Wang Maoru said angrily: "Do you think I can get Confucianism and Legal culture alone? Now I will give you this task to find people and study the establishment of this cultural system to fight against the invasion of Western culture and the conquest of castrated Confucian culture. I will give you thirty years. As long as I am in power, you will stay for me on the general length of culture and establish a set of Confucianism and Legal culture belonging to Eastern civilization."
Li Ziwen had no choice but to say, and what is the degree of cultural improvement? Wang Maoru said: "Nationalism, moral order, legal order, and the regaining benevolence in Confucianism. Seeing that the country's compatriots suffer, the Chinese people can help bravely, which requires both martial arts and benevolence. If someone blackmails and blackmails and kind-hearted people suffer blackmail, we need law to protect it. Those who blackmail, no matter whether they are old, old woman or disabled people, are not the national law, but Confucian and legal culture. Such people must be killed without mercy. Those who destroy the law will be punished by law, but those who destroy the beliefs of the Chinese people must be killed without mercy."
Li Ziwen was shocked and thought that Xiushuai's request was simply a new cultural baptism movement. It is hard to say whether it could be achieved, but if this plan is achieved in his own hands, his future will be famous in history, so he happily took the order and left.
As soon as Li Ziwen left, Wang Maoru was a little tired. He was easier to do things than to think about things. It took physical strength to do things, and it took mental strength to think about things. It was easy to recover physical strength, but it was not easy to recover mental strength. The idea of Confucianism and Legal culture was actually possessed before Wang Maoru traveled through time. The environment at that time was worse than that in the early Republic of China. The Chinese people had no faith, their morality had declined seriously, they lacked respect for each other, no contract, and did not respect life. Although there were not many absolute egoists, the harm they brought to society and the impact on the morality of the Chinese people was very serious. Power was greater than law, and profit was greater than benefit. Officials wanted to make money and immigrate abroad, businessmen wanted to make money and immigrate abroad, and actors immediately immigrated after making money from the Chinese people, and then returned to China to shoot videos of the founding of the country as foreigners. These people lost confidence in China.
While criticizing these people, Wang Maoru was also thinking about why these people did this. Everyone was scolding an organization composed of everyone. All Chinese people formed China. However, some of these Chinese people scolded China in their mouths or psychological terms. They didn’t know that if all Chinese people were gone, then isn’t this convenient place China? It was the disappearance of the belief in jingshén and the disappearance of traditional Chinese culture. How many Chinese people in later generations understand Confucian culture? Not to mention understanding Confucian culture, even the six arts of gentlemen advocated by Confucianism, I am afraid that few people know about it.
Later, a certain theory broke the four old things and made the people lose the faith of their ancestors, which eventually led to the decline of the quality of the people, distrust of others, unfilial to their parents, unfaithful to their friends, and unfaithful to their lovers. Ancestral belief is the traditional culture that our country has gradually developed over the past five thousand years. Chinese people who have lost their traditional culture become soulless mummies. They just live for more food, clothing, housing, transportation and fun, and do not think more, and even lose their habit of reading.
