Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2601 Learn from the scriptures, the only scripture

  At present, there are only two and a half books that can really be regarded as Daoist scriptures.

  That's right, the Daoist disciples of the Han Dynasty are so pitiful.

   One of them is naturally the Taoist scripture, the Tao Te Ching.

   This is why Wei Kang felt that his chance had come. In this era, there is no such thing as Du Niang. You can find the original text of the "Tao Te Ching" with a random search, and then there are translations and annotations along the way. Among the children of the aristocratic family, because of the decline of Huang Lao's studies, among the classics, there are not many who study the "Tao Te Ching", not even a quarter of the people who study the "Book of Changes".

Those awkward hexagrams in "Book of Changes", if you don't already have a certain foundation, you don't dare to explain it easily, just like when Feiqian went south to Jingzhou and listened to Xun's lecture in Yingchuan, and then Xun said that he wanted to say "Yi Jing" The Sutra is the collection of all directions. This shows that the "Book of Changes" is not something that ordinary people can understand, let alone the "Tao Te Ching", which has fewer studies than the "Book of Changes".

  The other book is naturally "Zhuangzi".

   Laozhuang does not separate families.

   But the problem is that "Zhuangzi" can be said to be a Taoist scripture, or it can be said to be not. Because in fact, "Zhuangzi" is more inclined to show Zhuangzi's own critical spirit, involving philosophy, art, aesthetics, aesthetics, etc. Its content is rich and profound, and it discusses philosophy, life, politics, society, art, cosmogenesis and many other aspects, not just Taoism. Of course, if we insist on saying "Taoism" in a broad sense, then Buddhists and Confucians can also say that their sects are also in a broad sense, and then we are caught in the strange circle of who is whose father, isn't it?

  Later, the Taoists did not dare to directly say that it was from Zhuangzi, so they concealed Zhuangzi as a Nanhua real person, and then said that it was the Taoist "Nanhua Scripture".

  As for whether it is a true scripture, Fei Qian thinks it is not certain, but Mr. Zhuang must be "shocked".

   After all, Zhuangzi and Laozi were called together before. How could Laozi become the incarnation of Laojun in a blink of an eye, while Zhuangzi himself can only become a real person?

  Taoist disciples called Tianzun, which means that Laozi is older than Zhuangzi, and Laozi is the incarnation of Laojun...

   This logic turned back again, as if to prove who is whose father.

  Zhuangzi expressed dissatisfaction. The Yellow Emperor Zhougong is still older. Why don’t you talk about Huangdi Zhougong?

  The Taoist disciples have a bitter face, do you always think we are not kidding? It's all shit, it's all avatars, it's all...

  Zhuangzi had no choice but to say orange hemp wheat skin, and let it go.

  The remaining half of the Taoist scriptures, that’s right, it’s the Book of Changes.

   After all, are you going to talk half with Confucianism?

At the moment of the Han Dynasty, no matter what type of scriptures, many of them have been stamped and stamped by Confucian disciples. Not only stamped, but also spit in it, come, grab food, we are professionals, who is afraid who? !

  Take Dong Zhongshu’s thoughts as an example, not only the original Confucianism, but also Yinyangism, Legalism, Mohistism, and old classmate Dong coughed, who said it was yours, do you have the copyright? Let’s talk again if I have copyright, I will write another one now and add a clause, these things, not to mention fifty years after death, are mine for life and life!

   When the shameless people fight with the shameless people, the shameless people will definitely suffer.

It's like using the banner of a century-old Huaxia brand, but selling Western craftsmanship and standards, and came up with a set of knives that can't be used to shoot garlic. The signboard was kicked to pieces!

   As far as this matter is concerned, is the rule of law right or wrong?

  Fei Qian is now facing such a problem.

  He cannot easily delegate the power of interpretation, because the human heart is greedy.

   This has been the case since ancient times.

If the subordinates are easily allowed to do it, let the subordinates set the standards for everything, then the ghost knows whether it will be a knife that can shoot garlic, but after development, it will turn into a knife that cannot shoot garlic. It was originally milk that meets the protein standard. After that, it turned into milk that not only reduced the protein, but also increased the number of colonies. It was originally an app that took up little space and had no ads. After development, it became an app that not only took up a lot of space but also couldn’t close the ads...

  Among the Chinese feudal dynasties, there is no shortage of guys who look kind and gentle on the surface, but are like ghosts in their hearts.

   Let these people make up some "truths", Fei potential can rest assured?

After all, even the society in which the rule of law of the later generations far exceeds that of the great Han is so magical, let alone compile a religious system that is purely evidenced by the heart and idealistic. A little negligence will become a catastrophe .

  Like the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

  By the way, some people in later generations say that the three brothers Zhang Jiao are also incarnations of Laojun...

  God incarnate?

The reason why Feiqian focuses on developing the orthodox and correct explanations of Qinglong Temple is to cut off Confucianism's use of prophecy to make small talk and righteousness, and to move towards the so-called idealism line. Fighting for jobs with religion?

  Based on this point, Fei Qian needs to be more cautious about Taoist scriptures. It's easy to mess around with anyone, and it's easy to say an irresponsible word, but it's not easy to build a shining lighthouse in China for a century, or even a thousand years.

   This time I fooled the people in the snow area casually, next time I can fool anyone in the Northern Wilderness, and then fool my own people, and finally even fooled myself to believe it...

  For example, what is China's "big land and abundant resources" and "heavenly kingdom".

  Fei Qian knew very well that China in later generations lacked oil. To what extent is it lacking? Even if they know that monopoly will lead to corruption, they still have to let the energy department monopolize. The oil rats caught from the oil barrels these years are not one or two, but nests...

  Then said that as long as the poisonous alcohol does not attack, it can still quench your thirst. If you don't drink it, you will die on the spot. If you drink it, you still have a chance to find an antidote.

  Is this right?

As for iron ore, manganese ore, chromium ore, copper ore, aluminum ore, potassium ore, etc., there are some rare minerals, not to mention, China is even short of wood, because the Outer Xing'an Mountains, which has the most wood in China, were cut off by the prodigal son .

   These things that are missing, of course, cannot fall from the sky.

  So Huaxia must actively expand.

  Active expansion naturally includes the use of force, as well as culture, yes, and religion...

   It's a civilized world, isn't it?

  If it is said that Fiqian used force to expand or recover the Western Regions, and if the Southern Huns used culture to educate and erode and naturalize, then the Snowy Region is what Feiqian wanted to use religion to infiltrate and eventually assimilate.

  Hey, Fei Qian couldn't help but think of his civilization game archive that he never cleared...

   If there is a save file, try it first, if it doesn’t work, you can read the file and start over.

  『Editing』 cannot be edited.

  Everyone is staring at Fei Qian. If Fei Qian makes it up, the people below will make up more. And he will try every means to make it up, but Fei Qian has to bear the bitter fruit in the end, and then let ordinary people eat it.

  In fact, there have been emperors who have done this in history.

  For example, Wenzi, Liezi, and Geng Sangzi were included in the Taoist scripture system in the Tang Dynasty...

  During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor wanted to promote Taoism, but it turned out that this Taoism was too pitiful, and only two old men from Laozhuang were left to support it? Still wanting to argue with Confucianism about the Book of Changes, simply asking for nothing, how can this go, so the Tang Emperor swiped his pen and announced that from now on, Wenzi, Liezi, and Geng Sangzi all belong to Taoism. Whoever agrees, Who is against?

  The courtiers looked left and right, looked at each other, and then bowed their heads together: "My emperor is holy!" 』

   This approach is really easy, but what about the actual effect?

  Originally, the thinking of these people may not be Taoist. In order to get involved with Taoism, more lies and more loopholes were born. Take Wenzi as an example. In fact, he and Confucius were contemporaries. Like Confucius, he also asked Laozi for advice. But can we say that Wenzi is Taoism? Does that mean that Confucius, who also asked Lao Tzu for advice, was also a Taoist?

   This is like what should have been a very gorgeous Taoist robe, but in the end it was stamped with several patches of inconsistent colors.

   Patch One.

   Then, there was a gap in the first patch, and later generations patched it again in order to make it far-fetched.

   Patch two, three...

In the end, it should be on the incomparably gorgeous Huaxia Taoist robe. At a glance, it is all patches, and only the patches are seen. What it looked like originally, Lao Tzu’s thoughts should be the cognition of the world, just like this. without a trace. There are only immortals in the sky, colorful, but golden and jade outside...

  Can I wear it?

  I can definitely wear it, too.

  However, it shouldn’t be like this in the first place, what gorgeous thoughts, what beautiful clothes, but in the end, they all become this patch or that patch in later generations?

   Fei Qian frowned.

  『Scholar Yuan, stay here for a while...』 Fei Qian coughed, 『Some...well, come as soon as you go...』

  Pang Tong rolled his eyes for a while, but he didn't dare to smile, but nodded seriously.

   Of course, Feiqian is not for the convenience of changing clothes, but is going to find foreign aid.

   Known as a library where big men walk, Mr. Cai.

  Fei Qian walked into the backyard with his hands behind his back, turned around the corridor, and entered the back hall. When he looked up, he saw that Cai Yan was teaching Fei Zhen a lesson.

  The above is the Book of Songs.

  Fei Qian listened to a few sentences, it was "Chen Feng · Dongmen's Pool"...

Speaking of these ancient scriptures, like the Three Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Book of Songs, they all need to be explained and taught by the master, otherwise it is easy to understand one-sidedly, or just see the superficial meaning, like It is this "Chen Feng·East Gate Pool", if you only read the literal meaning, then it is just a scene where men and women at the city gate are soaking and washing hemp, and then singing to each other while working.

  But if we add the historical background of Chen Guo, it may be derived from some new meanings...

After all, an article needs to be related to the context, and it must be interpreted according to the background of the article written at that time, so that it can be regarded as a relatively correct way to understand an article. As for the historical environment of Chen Guo at that time, if someone knew how to explain it, it would only be based on its On the surface, it means that this is a group of dogs and men singing lewd songs to each other, which is somewhat excessive.

   After all, the Book of Songs was also revised by Confucius. If you say it’s an obscene song, wouldn’t you be slapping the old master in the face?

  Fei Qian thought of this, and suddenly seemed to be touched by something, so he couldn't help but stop and frown and meditate.

   After a while, Cai Yan instructed Fei Zhen to say a word, and Yingying walked out, went to Fei Qian's side and saluted, "I have seen my husband... What is this... what's the matter?" 』

"what? Oh oh..." Fei Qian came back to his senses, "It's all right, um... By the way, do you know what scriptures are there now? 』

  『Taoist scriptures? ”Cai Yan opened his eyes slightly, apparently feeling that Fei Qian’s question was a little too simple to understand, “Tao Te Ching…”

  『Except the Tao Te Ching. ’ Fei Qian said, ‘I know the Tao Te Ching. 』

  『Apart from the Tao Te Ching, does the Tai Ping Jing count? ’ Cai Yan said again.

   Fei Qian waved his hands, "How can Taiping be counted? It's far-fetched. There are many prophecies, which are obviously forged by later generations in the name of immortals." 』

  Cai Yan rolled his eyes, "If you say that, there are really no more... What's wrong?" 』

  Actually, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was actually a copy of "Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi" enshrined by later Taoists as the main scripture, but Fei Qian didn't have this scripture, and Cai Yan didn't see it either. Because this book is still in the hands of a Taoist priest surnamed Wei, whether it has been completely written at this stage is still a matter of opinion. Moreover, this Wei Taoist is no longer Chang'an Sanfu, but in Jiangdong, and it is also an ordinary Taoist scripture, similar to articles such as the annotations to the Book of Changes written by Confucian children.

  So, when it comes to the "truth" of Taoism, it is really in short supply.

   Fei Qian told Cai Yan the general situation.

Cai Yan nodded, "If you talk about the real Taoist scriptures, you can only talk about the Tao Te Ching, and the rest... Most of them were written by later generations, under the guise of their ancestors... Since what you are looking for is the authentic scriptures, Wouldn't it be enough to just give the Tao Te Ching? 』

  『Only for the Tao Te Ching, so why...』 Fei Qian made a noise, halfway through the sentence, suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his head, yes, why not?

  Misunderstanding of thinking!

  Influenced by the movies and TV shows of later generations, Fei Qian also felt that he wanted Elder Tang to learn from the scriptures.

   Then I felt that Confucianism has so many scriptures, so how can Taoism have to have ten or eight volumes, so that it can be regarded as rich in "true scriptures", reflecting the spirit of a great country...

   But Cai Yan's words awakened Fei Qian.

  Why are there so many "truths"?

  Why follow the path of Confucianism or Buddhism?

  『Hahaha, what the lady said is true! 』Fei Qian couldn't help holding Cai Yan's hand, laughing, if it wasn't for the guards around and Fei Zhen looking up, Fei Qian really wanted to hug Cai Yan and kiss him, pulling Cai Yan closer He whispered, "In the evening, come to talk to the lady in the evening...I'm leaving!" 』

   After finishing speaking, Fei Qian turned around and left, leaving Cai Yan a little ashamed.

"Really..." Cai Yanjiao said angrily, and when she turned her head and saw Fei Zhen stretching her head, she looked over with her eyes rolling, and couldn't help but put on a straight face, "Look at your father, you only call your lady when something is wrong, it's all right Just walk away... You can't imitate him! Did you recite what I taught you just now? Let me listen! 』

   Fei Zhen immediately lowered her head as if she had been hit by frost, "Oh..."

  …(;￢￢￢)…

   Fei Qian walked faster and faster, and then a smile gradually bloomed on his face.

"The way is as simple as it is..." Fei Qian clapped his hands, walked into the hall, sat down, and said to Pang Tong with a smile, "You and I are just looking for troubles... The sky is clear, the earth is peaceful, and the gods are happy." With one spirit, the valley will be filled with one, all things will be born with one, and the king will be chaste with one! Why so many scriptures, the scriptures are the same! 』

  Pang Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, thought for a while, and immediately laughed, "A husband's small words break the words, small words break the righteousness, small righteousness breaks the way, the way does not make sense, and the way must be simple." That's right, that's right! There are dozens of apocryphal scriptures, not as good as the only true scripture! The true scripture is the "Tao De", and the rest of the Taoist scriptures are all apocryphal scriptures! This formula is in line with the theory of Qinglong's serious and correct solution! Only in this way can Taoism be inherited in an orderly manner and trace back to its origin! Wonderful, wonderful! 』

  The more Pang Tong talked, the more excited he became, "Just now, Caichen felt that something was wrong. Now that I think about it, it is here that I made a mistake!" The Qinglong Temple’s orthodox theory and the absolute prophecy are dissatisfied with the children of many gentry families. Now if we pretend to pass on other scriptures and pass them on to those who learn them, wouldn’t we be humiliating ourselves? In the future, how will we talk about the correct solution? Taoist scriptures, the only morality, established by Laozi, Confucius asked for advice from Laozi, Zhuangzi also asked for advice from Laozi, most of the classics of the Spring and Autumn Period originated from Laozi, if morality is not the real scriptures, how can it be called the real scriptures? 』

  Pang Tong clapped his hands and continued, "The scripture is the only one." Taoism is morality, Confucianism is the Analects of Confucius, and the rest of the classics are either apocryphal scriptures, another interpretation, or post-commentary. Far-fetched, you can remove the attachment, you can avoid confusing the order, and you can never be greedy for other people's works! This is the correct answer to Qinglong Temple! Fortunately, the lord reminded me, and I almost missed a major event! 』

   Fei Qian smiled, and also felt that his thoughts were clear.

   All kinds of confused accounts and disgusting incidents in the feudal dynasties of later generations were all caused by the lack of a clear standard? Speaking of the rule of law, among the feudal dynasties, which dynasty did not formulate various legal codes? But in fact, the effect is not good, because no matter how many codes there are, it is still the rule of man, because these officials, from the beginning of studying the scriptures, have fallen into the need to find reasons for the scriptures, find excuses, and obey their superiors. All kinds of wonderful needs, to satisfy the various desires of the upper class to find the basis for the vicious circle.

  Finally, the power of interpretation of all things can be attributed to this or that, except that it does not belong to the common people.

The household registration system was formulated by the above, and the various procedures were also formulated by the above. As a result, all the things that were implemented became that ordinary people should do this and that, to prove that their father is their father, their mother is their mother, and their grandfather It's grandpa, grandma is grandma, and the guy sitting in there doesn't even move his ass.

   Does this make sense?

   Doesn't make sense, but that's how the process works.

  And how did this process come about?

Because at the beginning of China, at the source of all theories, it was already unreasonable and chaotic. Whoever poops with his fist belongs to him, and whoever grabs it belongs to him. Then we can still expect the follow-up theoretical development to be logical. , keep the law?

In the end, Tiantian said that he would encourage innovation, and then someone was really stupid to innovate. Immediately, someone relied on power and wealth to rush over like a pig, either buying, annexing, or slapping him to death. , or tear it apart, which is called encouraging innovation?

   As a result, there was no innovation. Everyone shouted that they would not give birth, that they were going to lie down, and then panicked. They tried their best to fool them, shouted slogans loudly, and threw out three melons and two dates to show that, what's the use?

  If it was really for three melons and two dates, who would it be? Will it be those who were originally obsessed with research and innovation?

  How much time and enthusiasm was wasted in doing this?

   Huaxia could have been better!

   But this group of wild boars still think that they are not wrong, because it has been like this since Confucius and Mencius!

Regardless of whether it is true or not, they are all attached to the name of the superiors, the names of the ancestors, and they are called to serve the people and share the worries of the head of Guizhou. Push it to the people, and then just sit and wait and watch, do nothing, and when you see the benefits, you will pounce on it and pull it all on yourself!

  The source of everything is here...

  『That’s how it is…』 Fei Qian clapped his hands, and laughed haha, 『Seek truth and truth, the only source! 』

  The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, as if they had let go of a boulder in their hearts.

  It is easy and pleasant.
