Confucius was a great educator in China, and successive generations have canonized him as a saint, constantly giving him titles, and even his descendants have a very loud name, Yan Sheng Gong.
This means that your lineage is responsible for passing on the blood of the saints, and after more than two thousand years of changes, it has not been broken, which shows the status and influence of Confucius in China.
But it is such a Confucius, to modern times, but encountered embarrassment, the Internet can often see posts scolding Confucius, the most quoted sentence is that only villains and women are difficult to raise.
This sentence is often quoted, saying that Confucius despises women, and many lovers of traditional Chinese studies have to defend Confucius at every turn, making explanations that are beneficial to Confucius, and some explanations are even a little funny.
For example, a few years ago, yu Dan, the academic supergirl of the fire, interpreted the villain as a child, and this sentence obviously dissipated Confucius's malice, feeling that women are as cute as children, which is really to praise Confucius and seriously distort the facts.
Do you know what confucius would be most unaccustomed to if he suddenly came back to life?
It is not that the children do not support the elderly, nor is the woman dressed revealingly, the Spring and Autumn Period is already an era of Wang Gang's unwinding and moral degeneration, and all kinds of unruly behaviors have often occurred, otherwise Confucius would not have advocated that the Zhou rites should be restored.
The most surprising thing about Confucius must be that everyone is equal, that the son can actually sue Lao Tzu, and that the wife actually demand the same status as the husband, which confucius cannot accept at all.
What Confucius advocated was a hierarchical society, a society in which everyone was unequal and should not be equal, and everyone took himself as the original heart and formed a set of his own set of etiquette norms, and this etiquette norm, that is, the code of conduct, is different between different groups of people.
Between people, there are obviously high and low nobles, and there must be high and low nobles, otherwise the society will be chaotic, why say, the eight-in-one dance in the court, is intolerable, it is because of the eight-in-one dance, you a doctor-level person, how can you let people dance, this is the treatment of the monarch.
Today is, how can you a migrant worker wear clothes embroidered with a peony pattern, this pattern you do not deserve, this is Confucius's proposition, everyone is unequal, everyone has their own code of conduct, the whole society, all are subordinate to the relationship of being obeyed, and there is no concept of equality for everyone.
It is understandable that you killed the monarch, but you must not sue the monarch, because you and the monarch are not equal, and you have no power or qualification to sue the monarch.
Although it was later said that the three programs of the Three Principles and Five Constants were not said by Confucius, or even by Confucianism, this is not important, what is important is that the Three Principles are very much in line with Confucius and Confucianism's cognition and design of the whole society.
The king is the subject, the father is the son, the husband is the wife, you can refute, you can even think that there is a certain reciprocal relationship, you are not benevolent, I am not righteous, do not have to be completely obedient, these can be, but there is only one that will never change, there will never be equality.
Fixing relatives and not being noble and lowly is the core goal of Confucianism, as for who is expensive and who is cheap, this can change with the changes of the times and the environment.
Speaking of this, you should have understood what Confucius's most famous sentence means, Confucius is to look down on women, and even look down on farming, because in Confucius's eyes, there must be nobility in society, there must be high and low, which is the basic element of social composition.
Of course, there is no black Confucius because of this, because ancient society is like that, we know that the ancient celebrities, from the perspective of modern equality between men and women, love transfer point of view, most of them are scumbags.
On the contrary, we think that the great traitors are really very single-minded, such as Yan Song and He yan, which is very interesting, other ancient famous ministers, there is a count, concubines visiting the Qinglou, are the most basic operations.
Therefore, do not use today's moral standards and social norms to measure the ancients, let alone to promote the ancients, but to say that everything is good, the brilliance and greatness of Confucius, safety will not be because he said, for the villain and the woman is difficult to raise, and there is no derogation.
