In China, there are not many people who can be recommended as saints since ancient times, and there are fewer than ten people who are recognized, known as the 'Nine Saints'. These nine are: The Most Holy Confucius, The Saint Mencius, the Poet Saint Du Fu, the Word Saint Su Shi, the Wine Saint Du Kang, the Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing, the Book Saint Wang Xizhi, the Painting Saint Wu Daozi, and the Martial Saint Guan Yu.
Of course, there are also some such as: Tea Saint Lu Yu, Medicine Saint Sun Simiao, Mou Sheng Zhang Liang, Mu Sheng (Ke Sheng) Zhang Heng (also known as Lu Ban), Bing Sheng Sun Wu, Cao Sheng Zhang Xu, Shi Sheng Sima Qian, anyway, in these will come to an end.
Whether it is nine or ten or so, in short, Confucius is the first, the saint or the man, not the god nor the Buddha, this is the human model in our Chinese heart, the model of future generations. They can also affect some of today's lifestyle habits when they take it out alone.
However, among these people, the gun shot the head bird, and it was obvious that he was also the first Kong Sage. In the special years, it was degraded to the extreme, and it was also dubbed 'Kong Lao'er' a very insulting statement. Of course, after the wind and rain, it still does not fall. This is probably the true saint.
However, whether it is praise or disparagement, Confucius is a popular normalized figure, and he is probably the only one who has been able to do it for thousands of years.
Confucius (September 28, 551 BC – April 11, 479 BC), courtesy name Kong, courtesy name Qiu, and Zhongni, was born in the Spring and Autumn Period in the Song Dynasty of Liyi (present-day Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province), and was born in the Spring and Autumn Period of the State of Lu (present-day Qufu City, Shandong Province). Famous Chinese thinkers, educators, and politicians traveled around the world with their disciples for fourteen years, revising the Six Classics in their later years, namely "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Music", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn". Named by UNESCO as one of the "World's Top Ten Cultural Celebrities". Confucius spent his life practicing "Poems" and "Books", fixing "Rituals" and "Music", preface to "Zhou Yi", and composing "Spring and Autumn" (it is also said that "Spring and Autumn" was composed by Anonymous and revised by Confucius).
It seems that Confucius himself did not see it when he wrote specifically, but only one "Analects", which is also a collection of quotations compiled by Confucius's disciples and re-transmission disciples to record the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples. However, it can be seen as the political ideas, ethical ideas, moral concepts and educational principles of Confucius Thought and Confucianism.
Since its release, to this day, many people, whether confucius or not, have loved to study commentaries. One of them has become the focus of controversy, and has also become an advocate for some people who criticize Confucius as an advocate of the policy of fooling the people. This is from the Analects of Tabor: "The people can make the cause unknowable." ”
What does this sentence mean? If the conventional sentence is, "The people can make it by it, but they cannot make it know." It is generally understood that the common people follow our correct path, and there is no need to explain why this is so, or there is no need to explain one by one.
Mr. Fan Wenlan, a historian of modern and modern mainland China, was quite dismissive of this, saying: "Confucius regarded the people as ignorant and ignorant people, who could make them obey and not know. ”
The above views were echoed by Mr. Feng Youlan, a famous contemporary Chinese philosopher and educator, who believed that Confucius believed that the "people" were "foolish people" and that "they are unknowable, so they can only be driven by obedience." The arguments of these two men also became the main citation basis for attacking Confucius in a special period.
First of all, from the personal point of view of Jiangyanggu wine drinkers, these two bases are still produced by personal preferences and special historical environments. Regarding our reading habits today, we read this sentence as "the people can make it known, but they cannot make it know." "Naturally, it is not right or wrong, but it is only one of the ways to read, and the habits of thousands of years ago may not be ready to be restored today."
Moreover, in the "Guodian Chu Tomb Bamboo Jane" (excavated in October 1993), the version is recorded as follows: "The people can make the Way, but not the Wisdom; The people can be the way, but not the strong. So how can this sentence be explained, is it a misprint or is there simply multiple versions circulating?
Judging from the entire Analects and the trajectory of Confucius's life, he is definitely not a person who favors the policy of fooling the people, not to mention that the "Chinese" also mentions that "the mouth of the defense of the people is better than the defense of Sichuan." "When you can see clearly during the Shang Zhou Period, it is impossible to drive backwards in the time of Confucius.
And it was Confucius who was the first to start a private school, Confucius dedicated his life's energy to education, Confucius had three thousand disciples, seventy-two sages. "Self-disciplined cultivation, I have not tasted nothing", "learning without tired, teaching people tirelessly", how can he promote foolishness?
Confucius understood a truth, education is to let the people enlighten wisdom, understand the truth, know the number of etiquette, if only people are used as slaves and tools, then why bother to spread this idea. Why edit and annotate "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Music", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn"?
Confucius advocated benevolent government and advocated the restoration of The Zhou Li, although his things were not absolutely perfect and in line with the development of the times, but in a long-term sense, Confucianism can stand on its own, and it is absolutely not something that such a low-level routine can do.
Someone once made such a sentence: "The people can make it by it: do not, let it know." "The people should be given a certain degree of freedom, but where the law or social system needs to restrain behavior, if someone opposes and opposes it, he should understand that it is wrong to do so, and he should correct his behavior in time and return to the right track, that is, under the relative freedom, there must be a moral bottom line and legal concept to walk in the world, which is the more correct way."
The view of the wine seller is that he agrees with the above sentences, but the understanding is somewhat different, the so-called people can, that is, the people or the public do the right and positive energy things, we should encourage and support, and give more free space to play, and if the people do something inappropriate, not quite right, or even violate the social bottom line and the law, we should control and stop, but we must let them know why they do this, not one-size-fits-all, not everything will break the law, But something that doesn't break the law is not necessarily appropriate.
For example, a sound person, when you become an adult, you must support yourself through your own labor, but if you don't work, you still chew on the old age, this thing is not against the law, but is this behavior correct? Of course not, but some parents also condone, raising social giant babies, do you think he should let him know that it is not okay, and correct it?
For another example, we have freedom of speech, but in the case of unclear truth, judging according to their own likes and dislikes, or even out of nothing, is it okay to be quick to speak for a while? Like the keyboard men and trolls of today's network, just spit out, regardless of the consequences, is this left to it? Shouldn't it also be impossible?
I have never thought that freedom and behavior have no boundaries, that they require a bounding range, and that it is frightening and pathetic to abandon the true virtuous order and the bottom line of the world by advocating so-called restrictions and injustices.
The above is the words of the jiangyang gu wine guests, please exchange friendly exchanges.
