The follow-up comment of Lü Miaojun's "Seven Interpretations of Xunzi's Theory of Human Nature"

[Jiao Zidong] The seven interpretations reflect the "different heights and heights of Xunxue research", which Professor Lu sorted out and had a good enlightening effect. Thank you Professor Yao for recommending.

The fourth type is the simple theory of Xunzi sex. The earliest proposer of this theory was the Japanese scholar Kodama Rokuro - wrong, the Qing Dynasty put forward, not the Japanese affairs of the 1970s, the Chinese affairs of the early hundred years ago.

Jiang Zhongkui, a taiwanese scholar on the mainland, believes that it is also wrong, when the Professor of Beijing Normal University in the Republic of China, I have two kinds of "Xunzi Sexual Evidence" and "Confucianism (Outline)", Shandong Rongcheng people, non-Taiwanese, fine calligraphy and painting, etc.

Professor Lü Miaojun's brief scan of this article in Xun Xuexue has an important bird's eye view value, an article in hand, known all over the world, Haojie hero, all into the X-ray.

However, the third is that human nature is (moral) neutrality, and the fourth is human nature is (moral) simplicity, and the two realities are the same, and there is no difference. Human nature has the distinction between good and bad (that is, the distinction between Meng Suo or Meng Xun), and it cannot be said that human nature is rude and confused- it must be seated in the abstract good and evil of human nature, and the two major ± values of the value are broken and collided with the theory of the big pit, then the theory of good and evil of Han Confucianism will win; but this Han Confucian model will mix completely heterogeneous morality and materiality and say that the material nature is mixed with good and evil, so if the wise man says that the stone mud nature is beautiful and ugly, the same philosophical law is brilliant.

Jiang Zhongkui's original book advocates love and evil, and all the sentences of sexual evil in Xunshu are all said to be sentences of love and evil, and it is also proved that Xunzi also talks about sexual goodness, and "sexual goodness and evil" are integrated. There were many scholars before 1950 who advocated that Xun Quan's "sexual evil" was evil in lust or the result of lust, such as Chen Dengyuan's 1928 "Xunzi Philosophy" on lust and evil, and Wang Guowei's 1905 "Xunzi Theory" on lust and evil. As for the theory of "sexual disgust and goodness", Guo Moruo and others have discussed it earlier; Yan Shi'an's theory only follows Zhou Zhaocheng's theory. Almost all of the inventions of today's people have not gone beyond the old theories of history, and they are nothing more than imitations or rhetoric, and even no shortage of rumors in Xun's situation to seek truth and scientific research, and to create rumors in the name of innovation.

Temperament will be as evil ≠ temperament is evil, fleshy people can / will / can / towards / towards good and evil≠ sexual good and evil, according to such sexual pseudo-concept confusion, evidence of invalid deduction or new interpretation of word substitution, then the concept of Mengxun sex has been subverted (Mencius's inherent benevolence and righteousness and wisdom of sexual goodness and wisdom does not have conceptual logic confusion, benevolence and righteousness are the nature of men and beasts, mencius's sexual beliefs and sexual laws), and so Mencius is also a sexual evil theorist, a desire for evil, and a sexual evil theor, which is undoubtedly the inevitable nature of conceptual logic.

It is impossible for Xun Ton to really hold seventy or eight or ninety theories of human nature, most of which must be false and false. There is only one kind of historical correspondence between Meng Xun and even Confucius, and there are many kinds of depictions and sayings, which may not be true, especially in the deductive theory of missreading of chapters and sentences (confusion) and invalid logic (confusion).

Xun Zi's theory of sexual truth is still under the Nine Springs of Lanling, and the Land of Lanling knows best, it must be so. Now that Mencius's "theory of sexual goodness" with courtesy and righteousness has been subverted and dismembered by scientific research, the xun situation that has been subverted and flipped can still be comforted: who history has spared, the opportunity is equal, and the xun situation rests in peace.

[Yang Wanjiang] There are not only seven views, but also Yang Wanjiang's Xunzi "sexual evil, but good good and evil" said. Moreover, this theory has been very strong recently, and there is a great tendency to establish a moral philosophy of Xunzi attitude theory.

[Lin Guihao] There are still no snares, and there must be updated statements, inevitably. Teacher Wang Lu published a sequel.

[Strong China] "There are evil ends in sex, and the heart can choose good", I also joined in the fun. "Sex has evil ends" does not mean that there are no other ends; "the mind can choose good" is not the mind itself good.

[Lin Guihao] I also make up a number: the material nature is simple, the material nature of normal people can do anything, not only dabble in good and evil, but also beauty and ugliness, as well as true and false, and others, all end and direction and trend and can and so on... Concept vaulting, tai chi, fun to die for.

【Liang Tao】What is the subject of @Yang Wanjiang's good, good, evil and evil? Could it be sex?

[Yang Wanjiang] @ Liang Tao's main language of "good, good, evil and evil" is sex, which is both "evil" at the substantive level and "good, good, evil and evil" at the attitude level. Good and evil, that is, to like good and dislike evil.

For example, I'm not pretty (substance), but I like pretty (attitude), so I go and dress myself up and make it pretty.

Human nature is evil (substance), but it likes good and hates evil (attitude), so through learning to be false and good. If there is no attitude of "good, good, evil, and evil," there is no morality. Dong Zhongshu simply referred to "good, good, evil, and evil" as "the nature of good, good, evil, and evil."

【Liang Tao】What is the relationship between mind and sex?

[Yang Wanjiang] The mind and sex can be equated in the tradition of mind science, that is, sex speaks of the heart, that is, the heart says sex. But it is not equivalent here in Xunzi. This is first of all a difference in the concept of "sex". Xunzi's concept of sex is what Mencius called "therefore only", that is, the cause and characteristic of being "the one who is human". Or sex is a property that can explain the characteristics of how people behave in this way. Mencius called this "fate." Mencius's so-called "sex" refers to the virtue of benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom, and is manifested as the four hearts. In this way, sex and mind can be the nature of the heart, or the heart of the heart. But in the Xunzi theory of sexual evil, he did not admit that in the natural state man has a substantial goodness like Mencius's four hearts, and sex is not sexual goodness, but sexual evil. Then it cannot be the sexual speech of the heart, or the nature of the heart. Xunzi only acknowledges the deliberative effect of the human heart and the characteristics of the attitude of "good, good, evil and evil". But this is not the substance of the goodness of mind, but the attitude of the good.

Conceptually, although "sex" and "mind" are not equivalent, "sex" is often expressed through "heart". For example, Xunzi said that people are "born to be profitable", which is a stable interest orientation and is implemented as an action to pursue profits. As a interest orientation, it is always manifested in the action motive that governs people's actions, and it will show a motivating characteristic from the heart. Just as "good, good, evil" is an attitude trait expressed by human nature.

Xunzi particularly emphasized the freedom of the mind to dominate people's actions ("the heart is in the middle of the void, to rule the five senses"). Therefore, all the characteristics of human behavior will express the behavior governed by the motivation of the human heart.
