Chapter 205 We must face up to the existence of objective problems
Li Nian looked at the more than 3,000 people standing to salute him, shook his head and said: "Li Mou deserves this salute! Everyone, please take a seat!"
He just took advantage of people from the lower reaches of history. When it comes to wisdom and talent, he may not be ranked in the middle of these people.
But after Li Nian finished speaking, everyone did not move. They just continued to say: "Master, please accept my greetings!"
They are really a group of very simple people.
Zhuzi is not hypocritical, hundreds of schools are not hypocritical, and many people who learned this in Qin and Han Dynasty are not hypocritical.
Even Yang Zhu, who put forward the ideas of "whole nature is preserved" and "no one loses anything", was not hypocritical. He only gradually became crooked later.
Like a certain sect in a certain anime, they simply blindly understand Yang Zhu’s thoughts and do evil everywhere under the banner of Yang Zhu.
If Yang Zhu could be resurrected in that anime, he would definitely kill these bastards with his own hands: Is my teaching teaching you to rob families and benefit yourself at the expense of others?
"Everyone does not harm one thing" means not harming oneself and benefiting the world, but it also benefits oneself without harming others (the world). .
The Spring and Autumn Period has not yet gone far, so many people who were born at the end of the Warring States Period also inherited the character of the Zhuzi and sages. Following the example of the Zhuzi, they were far less cunning and hypocritical than those who came later.
Just like Li Shiqi, he was not afraid when faced with the threat of King Tian Guang of Qi. He said, "If you are not careful when doing big things, you will not give in if you are virtuous. But if you don't do anything for public affairs, you will say more!", and was cooked. kill.
Seeing the persistence of these people, Li Nian felt even more ashamed. But in this situation, if he refused, these people would probably persist, so he had to say: "Everyone, please sit down, Li. Gift!”
Then everyone sat down again and began to discuss based on what Li Nian said.
Half an hour later, with the sound of "dang", everyone stopped the discussion. They all developed conditioned reflexes during the big exam. When they heard this sound, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing. .
Li Niandao: "From now on, you can ask questions. To ensure that the questions are in order, start from the left."
After saying this, someone from the group of candidates on the far left stood up: "What the Master said, 'The writing is the same and the words are the same. Words and words have synonyms. It is indeed very good. According to the Lord’s wishes, other words and words in the world are to be abolished. What if someone does not follow it? "
< br>Li Niandao: "The local dialect does not need to be forcibly abolished. It can still be used as the local dialect, but you must learn the language specified by Da Qin. The writing must be abolished. You can only use the specified writing!"
"This is a government order. If you don’t comply, it will be considered a violation of the law!”
Abolition of the local language is unrealistic, at least not possible at this time in Da Qin.
Because language is a communication tool used more frequently than writing, and most people in this era are simply illiterate. If the local language is forcibly abolished, how will the locals communicate? By brain waves?
Even if you want to abolish it, you have to wait until "Putonghua" in Da Qin has become popular to a certain extent.
But at this time, we can only adopt a policy of paralleling local dialects and "Putonghua". When allowing local people to use local dialects, they should also be allowed to learn Daqin's "Putonghua".
Besides, Li Nian feels that there is nothing wrong with leaving the local dialect. Like the Shu province where he comes from, the Shu province dialect has many characteristics. He blesses other people's ancestors with "You are an immortal Banban" and praises people for their intelligence. The talented "you are so precious".
Abolition of writing will not have such a big impact. After all, there are illiterates everywhere today and there are not many scholars. Whether or not the original writing is abolished will not have much impact on the local people, and they don’t know it anyway. The person who asked the question did not sit down, but asked another question: "Young master said that the textbook was compiled to include the best among a hundred schools. I dare to ask what is the criterion for good and bad, and which school can learn from it?" Enter, which school is not allowed? ”
This is a sharp question, and it is also the question that everyone here is most concerned about: How do you judge whether the hundreds of schools of thought are correct or not, and which of them should you choose to include in your textbooks?
Li Niandao: "It is better to be patriotic and loyal to the emperor, to abide by laws and disciplines, to lead people to do good, to be civilized and advanced, to respect the truth, to safeguard the unity of the country and the nation... the opposite is bad! "
" As for which schools are acceptable and which ones are not, it must be screened and discussed before deciding."
"The theories and ideas of hundreds of schools are all good, but when studying, people often ignore that the theories have certain limitations. .”
"One of the limitations is that the time when the scholars who founded the Hundred Schools were no longer the same as when we are now."
"Even if the scholars are in our era, what they think about It may not be the same as they were at that time, so how can we completely apply their teachings to this time?"
Li Nian did not say that the thoughts of the scholars were wrong, but just pointed out that the times were different, and the people who learned it were different. Don't use the theories of various scholars in a rigid manner.
The theories of various scholars are good, but if they are used by the wrong people, at the wrong time and in the wrong environment, bad consequences will occur.
“The second limitation is that the theories of various scholars undoubtedly want to make the world more beautiful and better, but they cannot achieve it within a certain period of time. If everyone is diligent and friendly, the world can be unified, but in fact, we You can see the existence of lazy people and evil people.”
"Therefore, in the process of realizing the vision of the Masters, there must be a stage where lazy people and evil people will exist and will exist for a long time."
"We must then think about the long-term existence of lazy people and evil people at this stage. What should we do, how should we get through this stage and achieve universal unity?"
"Rather than relying on the ideas of the philosophers. By just talking about it, you can skip this stage and directly reach the ultimate goal of universal unity. "
Almost all the theories of various schools of thought are good, and the ultimate goal is universal unity, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, or Mohism. There are problems in the process of realizing Datong, and it cannot be achieved overnight. However, some people often ignore the problems and want to directly achieve the final result.
These two limitations raised by Li Nian have caused many people to think, especially those from several mainstream schools of thought.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhuzi have put forward new ideas for governing the world. However, they, the younger generation of disciples, often feel inadequate in practice, and they are getting further and further away from the world that the Zhuzi wants to realize, which makes them sometimes suspect that they are doing something wrong. Or is there a problem with the academic school?
Among them, Mohism is the most important. Although it is still considered one of the prominent schools of thought in the world, many people can see that Mohism has declined.
Why did it decline and not revive its prosperity?
They once thought that maybe there was something wrong with Mozi's teachings, or maybe they didn't strictly follow what Mozi said.
Today, Li Nian told them that there was nothing wrong with Mozi’s theory, and they did what Mozi said, but there was a problem in the process of realizing the world described in the theory.
That world cannot be achieved overnight. Only by demonstrating and analyzing the problems encountered in the process, and proposing solutions, can we achieve it slowly.
Some people think what Li Nian said is reasonable, while others do not agree with what Li Nian said, and even think that Li Nian is nonsense.
