Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 453 Red Dust Dojo ([-])

When I was a student, I studied politics, analyzed history, analyzed society, and analyzed class, and they always got together.Talking about what to do to change China's tragic fate in modern times if you go back to ancient times.

This is children's play house.Those who entered the capitalist society in advance, sailed in advance, occupied colonies in advance, and even launched a world war in advance, and how to stand in line in the world war to maximize the benefits are all just playing games and cannot be taken seriously.Don't take it seriously.Otherwise, you will be stuck in the thinking of primary school students and cannot get out.

The century of suffering in modern China is different from the previous ones.It is not just a difference in a sentence such as a major change that has not been seen in 3000 years, but a difference that is mixed with cultural backwardness, which leads to the surrender of a large number of literati.

The army surrendered to destroy the country, and the literati surrendered?

Many of the world we know and the knowledge we have learned are not the real world, and many are not correct knowledge.To deny this is to deny China's backwardness and to deny reality.Only by understanding this can we correctly understand the world.

From childhood to adulthood, the Chinese tradition and Chinese culture we have heard may not be the real Chinese tradition and culture.European and American literati like to define, create new concepts, and establish new systems.This habit was learned by some people, and a new system was created, and some new concepts were introduced.They use methods learned from the West to analyze Chinese society and Chinese traditions, clarify some issues, and also confuse some issues.The China learned in this way is not the China that really existed in history.

The tide of society, the enthusiasm of revolution, the alternation of old and new worlds, have produced many new ideas.Many of these new ideas are right, but some are wrong.This is normal.Many things will only mature after time has passed.

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie was silent, Wang Qingxiu said, "What are you thinking?"

Wang Xiaolie suddenly woke up.Said: "I was thinking, this world of mortals is like a dojo to some people. Some people say that it is easy to practice in the yamen. Sometimes I feel that it is really the same as practicing in the yamen."

Wang Qingxiu laughed when she heard that.Said: "If you say that, if you are an official in the yamen, can you still cultivate into a god?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "No. That's not what I meant. I said that doing things in the yamen is sometimes the same as practicing. It is to see through all kinds of confusion, not to be trapped in the mind, not to be attached to things. The only thing is to stay awake all the time. , to do well.”

Wang Qingxiu shook her head: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Wang Xiaolie said: "In the Five Dynasties, there was a prime minister named Feng Dao—"

"I know." Wang Qingxiu hurriedly interrupted excitedly. "As long as you have read the book for two days, who doesn't know this prime minister!"

Wang Xiaolie nodded.The Five Dynasties period is not far from now, and people are no strangers to Feng Dao.He has been an official for several dynasties, and he was able to protect his wealth in troubled times, and he was also a momentary figure.However, when the dynasty changed, he immediately recognized the new master and became prime minister, and many people were not ashamed of him.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Feng Dao has a poem called "The Way of Heaven." Pan, spring comes and grass grows by itself. Please look at this principle, the way of heaven is very clear. From this poem, we can see the heart of this person. In Feng Dao's eyes, the way of heaven is something outside of the body, ruling the world. As a human being, as long as you obey All right."

Wang Qingxiu said: "Isn't it?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Of course not. If this is the way of heaven, what is the difference between it and the destiny? Everything is determined by the sky, why should people work hard? Since everything is determined by the sky, people should do what they should. Where does the right come from?" wrong?"

Wang Qingxiu glanced at Wang Xiaolie, obviously distrustful.I feel that what my brother said makes no sense.

Wang Xiaolie said: "The word Tao, how can it be so simple? Lao Tzu said, Tao can be Tao, it is very Tao. Confucius said, if you hear Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening. If the Tao does not need to be understood, but ordinary people only need to understand it. It is enough to obey, so how can it be called Tao?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "Tell me, what is Dao? It's clear and logical, you can't explain it clearly!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "Sister, as I said just now, Tao can be said, very Tao. As long as you say it, no matter how you say it or how you understand it, it is not Tao. If we talk about it, it is impossible to explain clearly. One People understand the Tao, but they don't listen to what people say."

"It's just that if you can't explain it clearly, others won't be able to hear it." Wang Qingxiu was a little disdainful.

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's true. Since the Tao is all-encompassing, and my knowledge is limited, how can I explain it clearly? Human language is limited. When I say it from my mouth, the meaning is already different in your ears. How can you speak clearly like this?"

Wang Qingxiu looked at her younger brother, feeling helpless and pitiful.This younger brother has been an official for several years, what is he thinking about?This day is not comfortable even thinking about it.It was uncomfortable, and I still had to go on, it was really pitiful to think about it.

Traditional Chinese thinking cannot be bypassed.What is Tao and how should it be understood? The sayings are full of pits and valleys.There is only one thing that is certain, as long as it is said, it is definitely wrong.The more clearly you speak, the more wrong you will be.

Tao is all-encompassing, where nature is, people can only understand it.This is how ancient Chinese people understood the world.Although I don't know what the world is like, I know that the world is like this.What is it like?called Tao.

The explanations of later generations, saying that it is a law, saying that it is a law, or what it is, are not accurate.Of course, Wang Xiaolie couldn't tell.Wang Xiaolie never felt that he could speak clearly.Rather, we must know that this is the way Chinese civilization understands the world.People of later generations, don't interpret it in such a baffling way that this is simple materialism and that is simple dialectics.

Regarding the origin of the world, what the world looks like, and how it develops, each civilization has its own views.Opinions are different, but in this position, there must be many things that are difficult to understand.For example, Europeans believe that God created everything and God is omnipotent.There is a famous paradox that God cannot create a stone that he cannot lift.There is no need to specifically analyze what this paradox means, where it is reasonable, and where there is a flaw.How do Europeans explain this paradox?As long as you know, when it comes to this issue, it is not easy to explain clearly.

This is how the Chinese get to know the world and acquire knowledge, thus forming their own civilization.It is enough to know this.There is no need to compare with other civilizations like children.You see, my civilization is recognized in this way, and you are recognized in that way. I am superior or backward than you.On the scale of civilization, it is not appropriate to speak of advanced or backward.

On this basis, what Wang Xiaolie needs to do is to sort out the system of his own civilization, combine it with the general development trend of the world, and find a suitable path.The knowledge system of previous life studies does not match the real Chinese history.If you think you have learned the truth, anything that doesn’t match what you have learned is wrong, and it’s a joke.

A situation, if the guiding ideology is fundamentally wrong, it will be chaotic.What is the future of the chaotic forces?
(In the previous chapter, someone explained that the Qing Dynasty was governed by the country’s sages. They also said that the Hunan Army was developed by the country’s sages. It should be made clear that the Hunan Army was not developed by the country’s sages, but because of the Hunan Army. The Qing government relaxed its control of local forces. control.)
