Chapter 669
The religious reform movement initiated by Martin Luther in the 16th century caused England, Germany and other countries in Europe to break away from Catholicism and convert to Protestantism, causing Catholicism to lose a large number of believers in Europe.

In response to the Reformation Movement, Catholic fanatics initiated the Counter-Reformation and established revived new orders, and at the same time sent a large number of missionaries to the East to preach in India and China to restore the loss of European faith.

Among them, the most influential one is "the Jesuits founded in Paris by the Spaniard Saint Ignatius Loyola in 1534.

In response to the turbulent European religious reform movement, the Jesuits imitated military discipline and formulated strict rules.

Among them, the monks came out to strictly abide by the "absolute wealth", "excellent beauty", "absolute will" and "three vows", and they also unconditionally obeyed the Pope and performed all the tasks assigned by him.

Since Luo Mingjian, the first missionary of the Society of Jesus, Matteo Ricci, Julian Aurelius, and Tang Ruowang have rushed to China to preach.

Today, the outstanding sinologist Matteo Ricci is in charge of China's educational affairs. In order to reduce the vigilance of Confucian scholars, he adopted the missionary policy of "combining with Confucianism", "replenishing Confucianism" and finally "surpassing Confucianism".

For this reason, in the process of translating the teachings, missionaries such as Matteo Ricci deliberately did not mention the crucifixion of Jesus and other plots that are difficult for traditional thinking to accept, and on the other hand deliberately mixed the traditional Chinese Supreme God into the scriptures.

He claimed that "My God is the so-called God in the ancient scriptures" and "after reviewing the ancient books, I know that God and God are unique in name".

Matteo Ricci's method is also simple, but it is just using the information gap between the two parties to play the trick of occupying the magpie's nest and replacing the peach with the plum, and boiling the frog in warm water replaces the status of Confucianism.

However, if you start it, you can't finish it.As the saying goes, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you."You are going to stiffen others with Li Daitao, how do you know that others will not wait for the opportunity to turn against the guest?
In fact, Matteo Ricci's method is also very controversial within the Jesuits and Catholics.However, if the "naturalization strategy" is not adopted, I am afraid that even the teaching will not be passed on. Therefore, Matteo Ricci's method still has the upper hand.

Zhang Shun had previously learned about the teachings passed down by the missionaries of this era through Zhang Dudu and Han Lin, and he suddenly discovered that it was completely different from the Christian teachings he had understood piecemeal in his previous life.

He keenly discovered that the teachings passed down by the missionaries in this era lacked some plots of the Passion of Jesus, and more so-called "teachings" based on Confucianism.

He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and said in his heart: "Since you want to use Confucianism as a skin and steal the beam for the pillar, then don't blame me for replacing the prince with a civet cat and digging out your roots."

"Heretic, heretic!" The foreign devil Gao Yizhi seemed to have lost his mind when he heard the words, and forcibly pulled Zhang Shun to debate the scriptures.

Dudu Zhang had already been in contact with these "Western French parties", and he had also heard about their so-called Tianjiao.Now seeing that Gao Yizhi lost his soul and lost his dignity, he quickly pulled him away and scolded: "Who is your generation, how dare you do this to King Shun?"

Zhang Shun took care of his clothes, endured the discomfort of his fingers, and wrote with a brush: "Heaven is the supreme god in the world, the only god, and his way is fair. He is ruthless, desireless, and seeks nothing! Therefore, there are mortals who presume to think of themselves Saving the mind of heaven, imitating the mind of heaven as one's own mind, is really treasonous and immoral, and the crime should be punished!"

"I am the son of heaven, and I am ordered by heaven to be in charge of humanity. Therefore, I have to rectify his scriptures and beg for disobedience!"

"In the ancients there was a blind man touching an elephant. It's so-called. The way of heaven is so great, extreme, and even infinite. How can human power exhaust it? Those people just touch the hair of a hair, and they know it. How arrogant and conceited?"

"I am the son of heaven, and I dare not claim to know everything in the world, let alone the way of heaven?"

Seeing Zhang Shun humiliating and Tianjiao, Han Lin was also very angry.Just hearing Zhang Shun's remarks, his eyes lit up, and his heart was a little shaken.

It is no wonder that Han Lin is like this. First of all, he is a Han Chinese of the same language and the same race. He is proficient in the articles of ancient sages and sages, and can have a deeper understanding and sense of belonging to Zhang Shun's words;
Secondly, his original idea of ​​learning Tianjiao was also to "supplement Confucianism". Naturally, it is always beneficial to supplement "Confucianism" with "Tianjiao", but Zhang Shun directly dug the foundation of the two religions, which is even more so. outperformed.

It turns out that for three generations, China has embarked on a transformation of religious philosophy, the most typical of which is the emergence of some philosophical classics discussing "Heaven" and "Tao" in ancient times during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

The works of Confucianism and Taoism are all of this kind, which also opened up the secular society of ancient China.

But the Jesuits headed by Matteo Ricci will do the opposite, trying to re-religiousize and deify the already philosophized "Heaven", "Tao" and "God".Although this has opened a new door for Confucian scholars, it feels very awkward after all.

But Zhang Shun's method is very simple, directly re-philosophizing "Heaven", "Tao", "God" and "God" from the root.

What is the sky?What is Tao?what is godIt is the law of nature, it is all things in the universe, it is matter, and it is consciousness.

Concepts such as "Heaven", "Tao", "God", and "God" that still remained in traditional traditional thinking have been completely liberated in Zhang Shun's mouth. Naturally, he has been exposed to philosophy that has been completed [-]% to [-]% since childhood. Han Lin with traditional thinking feels more reasonable and real.

Gao Yizhi was surprised when he saw that Han Lin, who had worked so hard to preach for many years, was shaken.He couldn't help asking, relying on his theological level: "God is supreme and unique, who are you?"

"My son is also!"

"Then who is Jesus?" Gao Yizhi sarcastically asked.

"The prophet too!"

"Wrong, Jesus is also the Son of Heaven and God!" Gao Yizhi couldn't help laughing, "The ancestor of mankind, Adam, didn't listen to God's words, causing mankind to fall. In order to save mankind, God came down to earth as Jesus, suffered on behalf of mankind, suffered and died. Therefore, human beings can only be innocent if they are 'justified by faith'!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Shun couldn't help practicing the seven characters: "Hahahahahahaha!"

Immediately after a pause, he continued to write: "This is what I just said about using one's own mind to judge the mind of heaven. I, the Chinese, have been educated by saints and practice benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, I am not guilty. It is not as good as you and others. People take robbery as their business, their nature is evil, and they don't obey the teachings of saints, so they are guilty."

After finishing writing, Zhang Shun wrote another piece of paper to show Han Lin: "This is like my son from a lowly family in the Ming Dynasty was born. In the past, I offended Mingzu Zhu Yuanzhang and was convicted, so I will be a lowly family from generation to generation. .”

"As for the people of China, they neither plunder nor kill. They are ordinary people compared to the military and the civilians. Only the lowly people talk to us, and they are born sinful. Isn't it absurd to follow their promises?"

When Han Lin heard the words, he suddenly realized, and quickly distanced himself from Gao Yizhi, so as not to taint his identity and blur the etiquette of respect and inferiority.
