Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 401 Brother Tian who doesn't understand theology

At first, Guo Kang felt that this idea was a bit too exaggerated.But after observing more, he discovered that many people really think so.

It was a very unexpected situation that the Purple Horde was able to rebuild order.Many Greeks believed that it was normal for these foreigners to destroy Rome like the Crusaders.The current performance can only be said to be a miracle bestowed by the Heavenly Father.That being the case, it is even more important to take good care of it.

People like Brother Patrick are the ones who care about Rome the most and make suggestions most actively.

It is impossible for the Purple Horde to ban their research.Because Greek culture is also an important part of Rome, and it is impossible for the Purple Horde to attack and eliminate this culture—not to mention, what supplements do you use after the attack?
Building is much harder than destroying.Just as one should think about how to end a war before starting a war, it is better to think about how to build a new culture before trying to destroy it.In the history of Serris, there is no shortage of such negative examples.Like the destruction caused by Protestantism, it can easily lead to the collapse of order.

In simplistic thinking, in terms of ideology and culture, there are only two poles of "government-chaos". It seems that as long as there is a unified ideology, it will become rigid; it must be fragmented before a hundred schools of thought can contend.However, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was a time when the common consciousness of ideology was strengthened.

"The collapse of rites and the destruction of music" caused the original feudal order to begin to get out of control, but the recognition of the Zhuxia culture has always been there in each vassal state.

All the families used the same set of textbooks, and all learned theories from the Taishi of the Zhou Dynasty, and even the basic views of the sages of Yao and Shun were similar.As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, both Guanzi and Confucius were arguing that "cars should be on the same track and books should be written on the same page".They are very clear about these key common senses.

And after reunification, debates in the field of thought did not disappear.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "supreme Confucianism" was not a policy at all, but a suggestion made by Dong Zhongshu in the first year of Yuanguang, that is, in 134 BC.

Why the emphasis on this year?Because the year before, Empress Dowager Dou passed away.When Empress Dowager Dou was still alive, Confucianism had already tried it once. As a result, two of the Sangongs who supported Confucianism were killed by Empress Dowager Dou.Everyone really has no choice but to wait until the old lady passes away...

And what happened after that?At that time, Dong Zhongshu was kicked out of Chang'an by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and went to serve his elder brother Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu who was known for his brutality and bravery, as the prime minister.Fortunately, Dong Zhongshu had a better reputation, and Liu Fei didn't make things difficult for him, so he survived in this high-risk position.

Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, among the various family schools popular in the government and the public, not more than half could be classified as Confucianism.For example, Zhuge Liang, although he was later called a Confucian general, his family education was the study of Shen Han.Therefore, Zhuge Liang only entered the Wu Temple for a long time, while Du Yu later entered both the Wen and Wu Temples.Because Zhuge Liang really didn’t have much contribution to Confucian classics—he didn’t learn this...

In the era of bamboo slips, the Han Dynasty, which still followed the military legacy of the Warring States Period, only managed it to this extent, and the courts of later generations could not control it even more.Even after the Tang and Song Dynasties, the folk theories were often replaced by Confucianism. The difference between various "Confucians" can be greater than the gap between Confucianism and Taoism back then. If he only respects Confucianism, he doesn't know which Confucianism he respects. .

With the improvement of writing media, the court's ability to manage thoughts has been declining.On the other hand, looking at the history of Seris, the later dynasties are actually more "lenient". Even those notoriously brutal eras are actually famous only because they are relatively close to each other and have more information. of.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial court could execute nearly one-thousandth of the total population every year, which is called severe punishment. When Cao Pi came to power, in order to suppress civil resistance, the government had to deal with tens of thousands of cases of crimes for words every year. Qianlong met You have to kowtow to him twice.

Obviously, the 2000-year history is not a simple repetition of the dynasty at all, but has very obvious changes and progress.In the face of changes in the overall environment, even a regime like the Qing Dynasty must restrain its behavior in order to maintain its rule.These imperial courts are also incapable of controlling their thoughts, they can only scare everyone so that people will no longer discuss it openly.

Therefore, whether the thinking is enlightened and unified, the influence of the court itself is not very great.Most of the time, the imperial court has neither the motivation nor the ability to do it - countries in the information age can't control it, how can classical dynasties have this ability.

On the other hand, from a historical perspective, the result of the collapse of order is not the contention of a hundred schools of thought, but the chaotic dance of demons.

Fortunately, because the culture level of the Purple Horde Khanate itself is average, its damage to existing culture is also very weak, so it generally does not cause any problems.After realizing it later, I have always maintained the position of encouraging integration and supporting Roman culture.The effect of this aspect is also obvious.

Of course, this result is also two-sided.When the Greeks began to ponder philosophical thoughts, they would naturally keep what they thought was good and try to carry it forward.

Moreover, because their system is really perfect, Guo Kang can't simply persuade them.And people really think that they are thinking about the future of Rome wholeheartedly-people who are not so loyal will not be so stubborn.

Guo Kang really has nothing to do about it.

Although he has stayed in the church for a relatively long time, he is not an official official after all.And having said that, let alone him, even if Brother Tian came by himself, it would probably be useless.

According to a story circulated by the church, Brother Tian once went to the home of a female follower, Martha.Sisters Martha and Maria were both at home. When Martha saw Brother Tian and his party coming, she went to work in the kitchen and prepared to entertain them; while her younger sister, Maria, went to listen to Brother Tian's lecture first.In the end, Brother Tian told them that he thought Maria's approach was better.

This little story is not just about which is more important, labor or study, but involves a key issue: Brother Tian actually thinks that it is more important for women to listen to scriptures than to do housework and take care of guests.

Not only that, he also violated Jewish tradition at the time, praying to female patients who were considered cursed, and allowing female believers to anoint themselves.These are acts of sanctity, and it is not "normal" to allow women to participate.

In the eyes of philosophers and theologians of later generations, Brother Tian actually made the same mistake as the people of Seris—he actually believed that women could be educated, so he went to give them lectures, and encouraged these people to give up their jobs as women , to listen to the scriptures.

Of course, having said that, Brother Tian is a carpenter in Nazareth, he knows shitty theology, it's normal if he doesn't know.Therefore, this does not prevent everyone from continuing to adhere to the original philosophical point of view.

　Last month, I was in a hurry, but in the end I still couldn't make it to full attendance.I reflected on whether I had misunderstood my position and the purpose of writing the book.

　　Every day is the same as clocking in at work, to make up the number of full attendance words, and various methods are used for this.This is not only troublesome for readers, but also tiring for themselves.

　　And can it really write good things like this?I feel like rushing to reincarnate every day in a hurry, and I only write as a running account.

　　Since you really don't have the ability, then don't force it.In the future, I will still be limited by my ability, and I will post as much as I write, and I will not make up the 4k words.Torturing myself again, can't make readers look happy, it's really a pit...
