Chapter 207 Great Confucianism worships, Li Qing talks about benevolence

No one expected Li Qing to answer like this.

For a while, the audience was silent, everyone was too shocked to speak, just because Li Qing's remarks were too shocking.

"It's just ridiculous!"

A stern voice suddenly broke the silence, and it was Sun Chengping who spoke, his face was full of anger at this moment, he glared at Li Qing and said: "The biggest difference between human beings and beasts and monsters is that human beings are born kind. "

"You say that human nature is inherently evil, and it all depends on nurture, so what is the difference between us humans and beasts, and monsters?"

"Could it be said that a dog and a chicken can also be educated to understand etiquette and shame?"

Li Qing's thoughts and remarks made him intolerable.

The question discussed now is no longer what to learn, but the truth that human nature is inherently good and the saints handed down!

The sage once said that the reason why people are human is because they are kind-hearted and know etiquette, so they are the primates of all things.

And other creatures are ignorant and evil, just like the monster cannibals, and they are the enemies of the human race.

If human nature is inherently evil, how is it different from animals?
What Li Qing said is simply deviant!
Being angrily accused by Sun Chengping, Li Qing smiled instead, looked at him and asked, "Actually, when I say that human nature is inherently evil, I don't mean that a person is born a villainous person."

"The so-called evil is the heart of a child. When a child is born in the world, he has a child's heart, and he does not distinguish between good and evil, does not understand things, and does not follow the rules."

"Such children, no matter what they do, cannot be judged by good or evil, because they are ignorant."

"Before children are enlightened and sensible, everything they do comes from their nature, and they may do good things or evil things under the influence of the outside world.

After Li Qing finished speaking, a great Confucianist stood up and asked, "Since it is pure heart, why does Master Li use evil to judge? Not good?"

"Li Jiaozhu's remarks are contradicting himself!"

Li Qing just said that people are born with a child's heart and cannot be judged by good or evil, but he said earlier that human nature is inherently evil.

This does sound like a contradiction.

Li Qing glanced at him, and calmly said: "There is no contradiction, because human nature is selfish and self-interested."

"This is not only human nature, but also the nature of all living beings, because it is nature to keep one's own body alive."

"In this world, there is no distinction between good and evil. All good and evil are concepts forcibly distinguished by people."

"It's like, we raise poultry and then eat them. From the perspective of poultry, people raise them and eat them. This is a "bad thing" that is "related to life"; The "good things" of stomach and nutritional supplements, which one is right and which one is wrong?"

"Actually, there is no right or wrong at all, it's all for self-interest, to survive."

"Cats eat mice, wolves eat sheep, and people plunder everything in order to survive. This is due to nature, so self-interest is the nature."

Li Qing narrated his point of view without haste.

He looked at Sun Chengping, who was speechless by his words, and continued to expound his "On Evil Sexuality".

"And if the self-interested nature of human nature is not educated and guided well, then the natural self-interested nature of human beings will easily evolve into "greed" that hurts others and self under the disorderly development."

"What's more, it will harm one party and hurt more people. This is the nature and the result of natural development."

"It can be judged by our human values, that is evil; therefore, human nature is inherently evil, and this is the truth."

After Li Qing finished speaking, the audience fell silent.

All the scholars were deeply shocked by what Li Qing said, and their cognition was overturned.

Since ancient times, they have been educated that people are naturally noble and kind. This is the biggest difference between humans and monsters and animals.

But Li Qing told them that human nature is selfish.

It directly uncovered the fig leaf for humanity!

"Then, Master, is the sage's reasoning wrong? We humans are really no different from animals...?"

A literati asked in a low voice, his eyes confused.

If human nature is inherently evil, like all creatures, then what is the difference between human beings and those animals?

Not only him, even Sun Chengping, a great Confucian, couldn't refute Li Qing's remarks at this time, and fell into deep self-examination and contradiction.

"That's what I'm going to say next."

Li Qing nodded slightly at him, and then continued in a clear voice: "The biggest difference between human beings and other creatures is that although our nature is evil, we pursue goodness."

"People know dedication, selflessness, loyalty, and cultural inheritance, from generation to generation. This is why people are humans, not beasts."

"Although human nature is evil, there is also goodness. If you don't want to be reduced to an animal or beast in the natural world, you must study hard and know how to wash yourself with knowledge and elegant sentiment."

"In this way, we can preserve for a long time the innate goodness of human beings, which is nobler than other birds and beasts, and the reason why people call them human beings. This is the true meaning of enlightenment."

"The sages are right. What they always emphasize is the importance of enlightenment. This is what I want to do."

After Li Qing finished speaking, he looked at Sun Chengping and the others again, and asked with a smile, "Any questions?"

Even if Sun Chengping and others came to trouble him.

But he wasn't mad about it.

Because this is a collision exchange between ideas and knowledge, why doesn't he accept it?If they can't convince them, let alone the tens of thousands of people in the country.

The so-called promotion of enlightenment is just rhetoric.

The expression on Sun Taiping's wrinkled face was rather complicated. In fact, if he wanted to refute, he could continue.

But Li Qing's simple remarks just now showed his lofty thoughts, which were beyond his reach.

Abandoning the so-called fig leaf of traditional Confucianism, analyzing human nature nakedly, but at the same time advocating the importance of education.

This kind of ideological realm is much higher than his.

Even if he wants to continue arguing with Li Qing about the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, he probably won't be able to argue with the other party.

His vision is too narrow, the two sides are not in the same realm.

Sun Taiping sighed in his heart, then bowed deeply to Li Qing, and said, "Master...you are very knowledgeable."

At first it was called Master Li, but now it is Master.

His attitude can be seen from the change of address.

After looking at each other, the other Confucian scholars and doctors also bowed to Li Qing and bowed their heads.

If you lose, you lose. If you are convinced, why bother to hold on.

It is a gentleman's action to admit defeat frankly.

Li Qing nodded with a smile, then raised his head to look at the crowd, and continued to talk about the topics he hadn't finished talking about before.
