Yuanhui Confucianism: Why is it that whenever someone criticizes Confucianism, someone always stands up and defends Confucianism?
first:
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
If you slap the ball, the ball will bounce back as well. You hit the wall with your head, and the wall will hit you in the head with the same force. This is Newton's third law of motion Forces and reactions, always equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and acting on the same straight line.
Similarly, you scold others, don't others scold you? Don't fight you back?
Some people criticize Confucianism, and of course some people can be allowed to defend Confucian ideology and culture. Yuanhui believes that there is nothing wrong with this.
Second: the unity of opposites
This is also a question raised by a classmate, who asked, some people criticize Confucianism for favoring sons over women, but some people rise up to defend Confucian thought and culture, saying that the so-called "preference for sons over daughters" that Confucianism talks about is just a re-emphasis on the different responsibilities of men and women.
Is the Confucian culture claimed by the critic and the defender the same thing?
Yuanhui believes that the first thing to pay attention to is the following points:
1. Contradictions are universal.
2, everything is a combination of contradictions.
The same is true for Confucian thought and culture, where there are essential parts and bad parts. For the essence of it, we must give affirmation, and we must pass it on and carry it forward. For the bad parts, of course, we must boldly identify and discard. But we must not say that Confucian thought and culture, it is wrong, or it is right, the attitude of total negation, or the attitude of blind affirmation, it is difficult to survive in life, but more importantly, we must hold an objective dialectical attitude, which is good and bad.
Of course, everyone's understanding of Confucian culture is also different. It is likely that some people understand correctly, and some people understand wrong. Some people only see the patriarchal preference of Confucian culture. However, some people see Confucian culture, which is just an emphasis on the different responsibilities of men and women! Who is right and who is wrong? We don't settle down here.
The focus of this student's question is, when others criticize Confucian culture, why don't anyone be allowed to come out and defend Confucian culture?
Or the question at the beginning, when you hit the wall with your head, can you guarantee that your head doesn't hurt, but the wall is damaged? Obviously impossible, unless you are Superman with a body of steel.
Similarly, when some people criticize Confucian culture, they must also allow some people to come out and oppose, to argue, and to express their own views. Otherwise, there is only one voice in the world, isn't that terrible?
Of course, the above is only the personal opinion of the yuanhui is not enough, for your reference only, if you feel helpful, welcome the parents to press the like one key three times, pay attention to the yuanhui, the first time to get the red heart, the next issue of the content goodbye, thank you.
