My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 798 A Bright Future
The rituals and music have collapsed, which means that even the lowest moral standards have disappeared.

To put it bluntly, everyone has lost their shame and no longer cares whether others have shame or not.

So the so-called late pre-Qin period was probably the most chaotic and disorderly era. We can imagine that in that era, people did not keep their promises, so Ji Bu's promise of a thousand gold coins was remembered by the world;

Men and women are thieves and women are prostitutes, so Qin Shihuang often wrote inscriptions to encourage women to observe morality and issued a decree that "if a man is a slave, he can be killed without guilt."

There are two interpretations of this decree. One is that men should engage in physical labor. If they become "ducks", they will be despised by the whole society, and there is no crime in killing them.

But the second explanation is more coherent. It says that if a man is married but sleeps with someone else's wife, then the person who killed him is found not guilty.

It is obvious that benevolence, righteousness and propriety can hardly maintain social stability for a long time, and "lower virtue" cannot satisfy people's spiritual needs deep in their hearts.

The root of all this is the loss of morality.

Then why is morality lost?

Lao Tzu said, "Only when one loses the Way can one attain virtue."

Lao Tzu believed that if one loses the Tao, the highest morality will be lost.

At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, rituals and music were in decline.

At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the father was kind and the son was filial, and the system of abdication made the second emperor successful. It is simply a story that will be passed down through the ages.

Everything is back to the worst possible state.

"Etiquette" can no longer maintain the orderly and healthy operation of society. At this time, the entire industrial revolution will turn the Qin Empire into a "bacterial" [nationalist] country that everyone will tremble in fear and stay away from.

The Qin Dynasty will create a sinful history. When a country has the ability to destroy the world, but cannot restrain its own strength, then it is not far from destruction.

When a smart person finds that he has become extremely powerful, the first thing he will do is to be docile, so that it can last long.

A truly powerful country will cover its guns as soon as it has the power to destroy the world.

If a country relies on its unrivaled technology and weapons of mass destruction that can destroy the world, and indiscriminately fires at weak countries, it will lead itself to destruction.

Even if you always think of yourself as the best in the world, it will only bring greater and more disasters to yourself.

According to logic, if the Qin State did not develop and correct its deformed civilization development path, judging from the current nature of the Qin Empire, the Qin State itself would decline in a dozen years.

Moreover, in the current Qin Dynasty, this is contrary to the psychological expectations of the people of the world today.

Today, the people of Daqin hope to build a more harmonious and better society by improving their material living standards.

Fusu was not so crazy as to turn the earth into a battlefield.

He hopes that he can be the founder of the Earth Alliance and create the "Heavenly Khan" of the Qin Empire era.

As a liberal arts student, Fusu's ultimate dream is to build the world's political and cultural map.

Qin II has already made plans for the future development of the earth. After all, with the power of a superpower in his hands, it is not difficult to influence the world.

Let’s get back to the topic. All I have talked about above is to illustrate one point.

Why has the world come to a state of chaos and disorder, with no trust between people at all, theft and prostitution happening all the time, and the vast majority of people in society having to "live in a muddle-headed way" and "make do with life"?
The reason is that people have lost the Tao, and gradually, their virtues also decline.

After Yao and Shun, the Chinese people changed three sets of prosthetic limbs and pushed the small wheel of history with grunt and bumpy wheels, which millions of people pushed for about two thousand years.

When the Qin Dynasty was established, Qin Shi Huang certainly did not want the social atmosphere to continue to deteriorate, but his methods of dealing with it relied on suppression and consumption.

Having learned from his failure, Fusu could only deal with the matter again using ancient science and the subsequent thousands of years of history, artifacts, systems, and culture.

Fusu decided to address the problem from the source.

As the emperor of the Qin Empire, Fusu held supreme power and could use it to do anything.

Although Fusu could not do what Confucius could do, Fusu could do what Confucius could not do.

Asking nobles to learn benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness is sometimes more like a constraint.

Although Zhang Cang believed that this practice was actually a stratification of classes and a pursuit of family power, Fusu still insisted on promoting the study of classics by the princes and the right to interpret the classics.

The next step is to delegate the knowledge of Tao back to the people and release the knowledge of Tao to the people.

This is the real purpose of enlightening the people. Only when people return to the Tao can they possess true virtue - the highest virtue.

This is the essence and core of the cultural and educational reforms of Qin II.

The things mentioned in the past were always leftover ingredients for the dish. We should promote Taoism within the empire, follow the will of heaven, make use of the advantages of geographical location, and do what people should do between heaven and earth.

Therefore, Fusu's cultural and educational reform was not to carry out artificial "moral education", but to teach the real wisdom discovered by Huangdi in ancient times to the people bit by bit so that the people would have wisdom.

Being smart may not necessarily benefit yourself, but wisdom can definitely benefit yourself, and can even benefit more and wider people.

Rather than fooling himself, Qin II would rather compile all textbooks into scientific knowledge and completely abandon the so-called "moral education of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and morality."

Tell everyone about the traditional natural geographical knowledge, astronomical laws and other laws that benefit people, so that people can live in an orderly manner.

If this set of knowledge is popularized in an orderly manner, it will be completely integrated with Fusu's previous order to apply metaphysical predictive knowledge such as Zhouyi and Qimen Dunjia to national governance.

The so-called laws of the operation of nature, the alternation of the sun and the moon, and every natural manifestation can be understood as a sign from heaven.

Spring is the time for sowing, and autumn is the time for harvesting. In spring and summer, everything grows, while in autumn, everything grows and in winter, everything hides.

Yang is born at the winter solstice, and Yin is born at the summer solstice.

This was originally knowledge that everyone understood, but with the changes in history, the oppression, deception, and knowledge and thought control of people by others ultimately made the vast majority of people in society feel confused and unfamiliar when they see these most basic truths.

Everyone felt that what was said made sense and had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but they did not understand what these words meant or what use they could have for them.

If you live, work and rest according to the seasons, your mind will naturally become peaceful slowly and naturally; when you eat and drink according to the seasons, your body will naturally become healthy and your mood will naturally return to peace.

Slowly, letting nature take its course, people will return to their natural and simple state.

This is a scientific process and a practical and effective process.

This is also the principle described in traditional Chinese medicine and the Book of Changes, and is also the scientific principle supported by the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.

If you stick to this practical approach, you will definitely be able to truly change people. This is an absolutely realistic and scientific method, and it is more practical than the so-called self-discipline and restoration of propriety, and changing from the heart.

Confucianism is a way of cultivating the mind and cultivating the spirit. It is the same as Buddhism and Taoism. It is absolutely not feasible to use Confucian classics to govern the country.

Many people think that to change a person, one must start by changing his brain. In fact, this is wrong. It is simply wishful thinking.

Essentially, it is because people’s life rhythm is not carried out according to the order of the four seasons and the positioning of heaven and earth, which leads to errors in their thoughts and in turn affects their daily behavior.

All kinds of excessive, uncontrolled and irregular practices will gradually cause people to develop evil thoughts, which will gradually expand to affect the family, and then slowly spread from the family to the world.

In China's "The Four Lessons of Life", there is a very clear discussion on how people's behavior affects their fortunes and misfortunes, including their own illnesses.

In the Buddhist "Medicine Buddha Sutra", it has been pointed out many times that when certain bad thoughts occur, the psychological condition will turn into a physiological condition, which will in turn affect people's health.

Especially the stingy mentality, which is the source of many mental illnesses and will turn into physical illness over time.

Therefore, if a person has a good psychology and a good attitude, he will basically not suffer from any serious illness.

According to the principles of Buddhist Tantric Buddhism, when a person's mind is truly as broad as the ocean, and he truly has such tolerance and breadth of mind, it is equivalent to opening a Dharma Wheel for himself.

When a person is magnanimous, it means his heart meridian is open.

However, many people are stingy and mean, and their hearts are often not open, which makes them further away from spiritual practice.

As a result, other people's souls go to higher dimensions, while one's own soul wanders around in the low-dimensional world, taking the projections of the high-dimensional world of the past and yesterday as real, holding on to them all day long.

This is not a leak.

There are no secrets in the world, only human scheming. People only think about themselves and can't stand others being better than themselves.

He hid the precious knowledge of Yijing culture by himself, used Feng Shui by himself, and then compiled a set of secrets that could not be leaked...

Some people always think that great things can only be achieved through great efforts. Laozi debunked this idea and prevented them from achieving great things.

Some people always think that truly noble knowledge can only be bought with a lot of money. As a result, no one cares about the Buddhist scriptures everywhere, while no one reads the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine and the Book of Changes.

Not to mention the teachings of the native Chinese Taoist gods. How many Chinese have not read "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" before they die? How many have read "Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun Bao Gao"?

True wisdom is contained in water itself, and just like water, it is spread throughout every corner of people's lives. However, how many people can wake up from their muddle-headed lives in this world and read an article like this?

Truth is a ball, it looks the same no matter how you look at it.

All knowledge is interconnected.

The morals of the world have become corrupt. Even though the emperor knows that it is all due to everyone's karma, if he uses his power to popularize these true principles of natural science and change the situation of common karma, will it promote the sublimation of human civilization as a whole?

That is the collective sublimation of human civilization.

In fact, every civilization must go through this trend, evolving from a low-level civilization to a high-level civilization.

Whether it was Qin Shihuang or Fusu, their actions were all aimed at guiding a civilization to collective sublimation.

Similarly, this is the difference between true science and pseudoscience. True science can actually benefit people and promote the progress of a civilization. Its effectiveness is definitely visible and tangible, but this is not necessarily the case with pseudoscience.

However, promoting morality in cultural education is probably like looking for fish in a tree. Not only will it not work, but it will create more trouble.

When a sage governs the world, he relies not only on power but also on wisdom.

A sage can govern a country well with wisdom and his "fists".

Sages follow the signs of nature. When people want to learn from sages, they should not think about how to be like sages and always be praised and flattered by others. Instead, they should take sages as role models and learn from their virtues.

There are always many people who think that they are just ordinary people and are far away from being saints. But in fact, according to the law of cause and effect and reincarnation, you who are reading this now may have been the saint whom you think you cannot reach in one of your reincarnations over millions of years.

Why should we have such a reverent attitude towards saints?

For example, the great Buddha is not a god at all. It is people who imagine him as a god. The Buddha was originally an enlightened person, but people deified him and believed that he had infinite magical powers.

As for Bodhisattva, the original meaning of Bodhisattva is Bodhisattva, which means enlightened sentient beings.

The so-called Bodhisattva is a person who is slightly inferior to Buddha, who is enlightened but still retains some confusion.

Such people have not yet been completely saved, but they help others, so they are respected as Bodhisattvas.

Therefore, each of us has the potential to become a Buddha and a Bodhisattva. This is the truth.

We think of ourselves as ordinary people who are “ordinary people”, but in fact, we are only a thought away from Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Therefore, when it comes to emulating saints, there is no need to have any resistance or fear, thinking that I am too far away from them and that their level is something I will never be able to reach in my entire life.

That is absolutely not the case.

All situations are illusions created in one's own mind.

Then the sage will follow the will of Heaven, and all the people in the world will follow the sage. With their own "fists" and "wisdom", they can manage their own families and make their careers prosperous.

If people learn wisdom, they will be able to manage their own families. When families prosper, the country will be stable and peaceful.

Therefore, in the future, Qin State will begin to conduct detailed research on the "Tao Te Ching" and make it into a methodology.

Just like in the past, people used the simplest vernacular to write down the simplest principles and distributed them to the common people so that they could learn the real knowledge.

The so-called true knowledge is that if people can arrange their food, clothing, housing and transportation according to the solar terms, they will reduce diseases and disasters and accumulate real blessings for themselves.

If people can understand that all things in the world have spirits, and that animals also have spirits.

Understand that if you kill animals rashly, their resentment will turn into evil spirits and carry you, and over time this will accumulate negative energy. What's worse, the more you kill, the more trouble you will get into, and evil spirits will follow you, affecting your luck.

When it comes to this point, will people still kill innocent people indiscriminately and approach disaster?
There is so much knowledge here, it is so detailed, and it has been kept "secret" for many years.

It sounds incredible and absurd, but if you use your feet to calculate the people around you, you will find that those who kill and eat more meat have better lives, while those who eat vegetarian food have more blessed faces, happy and healthy families, and smooth careers.
