Thick black school

Chapter 31 Discussion on Social Issues (7)
Reforming the society involves thousands of threads, just like a clock and watch. As long as there is a slight malfunction in the machinery in the middle, all the movements will stop.The land of our country is so large, and the situation varies from place to place. How can a few people in the government be able to speculate on the detailed methods of implementation.It has to be assigned to the local people to decide for themselves. The government only needs to announce the major policies and various plans to let the people know what the government's purpose is and what the way is. They will naturally move towards that way. When the townships and counties gradually tend to be consistent, they can gradually unite.The current general trend of the world is towards the political aspect of the whole people, so all powers should be dispersed and given to the people so as not to go against the trend.People's Livelihood Principles and Civil Rights Principles are one thing and cannot be separated. On the one hand, we must take into account the psychology of the nations of the world and follow the track of Datong. The Three People's Principles will become a whole thing.

Reconciliation of various doctrines.
Now that the world is full of turmoil and conflicts, my research, which I have exhausted, was born out of opposing theories.Mencius' theory of good nature and Xunzi's theory of nature's evil are in opposition to each other; religious altruism and evolutionary egoism are in opposition; individualist economics and socialist economics are in opposition to each other.All these contradictory theories are prevalent in the same society, and there has never been a compromise. If there is no consistency in thinking, of course they cannot be consistent in behavior, and conflicts are inevitable.There is only one truth, just like a big mountain, looking from east to west, from north to south, it has different shapes, and each mountain traveler sees a part of the mountain, and the shape of the mountain they say is different.When we study the truth, if we find out the origin, any contradictory theories can be reconciled into one.Good nature and evil nature can be reconciled into one, and benefiting others and self-interest can be reconciled into one. This has been said before.The author has studied all the opposing theories and found that they can be reconciled. Here are two more examples:

(a) Someone said: "Man's will is dominated by matter." Another said: "Matter is governed by man's will." These two sayings can be reconciled into one, here is a metaphor to illustrate: Suppose we rent a house The house, move in, use a certain place as a bedroom, a certain place as a kitchen, and a certain place as a reception room, how to display the utensils, how to hang calligraphy and paintings, all of which should be done after examining the situation of the house.Our thoughts are dominated by the house, that is, our will is controlled by matter.But if we think the house is not good, we can also remodel it, and the house is under our control, that is, matter is under the control of the will.After the invention of machines in Europe, industry prospered, and people's living conditions changed accordingly. It is true that matter dominates people's will, but machines are invented by humans. Inventors have exhausted their brains, so that machines can appear and industries can develop. It is man's will that dominates matter.This kind of statement is the same as "heroes make the times, and the times make heroes". It is not unreasonable to look at one side alone, but it must be combined to complete the theory.Only with physics and mathematics can Newton be produced, and with Newton, physics and mathematics have undergone major changes.With the current situation in Xiantong, the Zeng Zuo people were created, and with the Zeng Zuo people, another current situation was created.Just like a chicken lays an egg, and an egg lays a chicken. On the surface, it seems that they are tossing and turning, but in fact, they are constantly advancing. The egg behind is not the egg before, and the chicken behind is not the chicken before. Matter dominates human will, and human will dominates. Matter, heroes create the current situation, and the current situation creates heroes, and the world is evolving day by day.If in the course of evolution, it is a biased view to cut off half of it to make an argument and let him draw some evidence.After careful study, we know that the chicken and the egg are originally the same thing, and the mind and the matter are also the same thing. There is no egg outside the chicken, there is no chicken outside the egg, there is nothing outside the heart, and there is no mind outside the thing. Idealism, materialism, Could have been made into one.

(B) The ancients said: "It is not difficult to know, but difficult to do." Sun Yat-sen said: "Knowledge is difficult and action is easy." These two sayings can also be combined into one.Because people in the world only know how to sit and study, but don't practice, the ancients said to him: knowing is easy, but doing is very difficult. You always pay more attention to practice.The party members refused to implement the theory Sun Yat-sen had researched, so Sun Yat-sen said to them: Knowing is very difficult, but doing is easy. I have already done the hard work, and you just have to implement it.The ancients and Sun Yat-sen both focused on practice, so what is the conflict? The second phrase "It's not difficult to know, but difficult to do" comes from the pseudo-ancient Shangshu, which is what Fu Shuo said to Wu Ding. Fu Shuo originally encouraged Wu Ding to practice, and did not say that things are difficult. The books are all there, you can press them again.Those who invented steamships and trains worked hard to succeed. After the invention, it is very easy for technicians to continue to manufacture them.When a student first entered the factory, the technician taught him the method of manufacturing ships and trains. After listening to the student, he knew it very well, but it was very difficult to do it.The difference between Sun Yat-sen's statement and Fu Shuo's statement lies in the interpretation of Zhizi.Sun Yat-sen refers to the discovery of the truth by the inventor, and Fu Shuo refers to the understanding in the mind of the students when they listen to the lecture.Let's try to read "Sun Wenwen's Theory". The evidence he cited is that ten things such as eating, writing, and money, and the repair of water pipes, are all related to inventions.Sun Yat-sen was a foresight in the revolutionary circles. He taught party members that it was the inventors who spoke to the technicians, so he said that "knowledge is difficult and action is easy." Easier said than done."Practically speaking, it is a consistent thing for inventors to invent steamships and trains, hand them over to technicians to manufacture them, and technicians to teach students. Sun Yat-sen and Fu said half of each, so the two can be combined into one.From this we know that "knowing is easy to do is difficult" and "knowing is difficult to do is easy" can be reconciled into one.In the affairs of the world, there are those who know that it is difficult to do it, and those who know it are easy and do it. If you combine the two, the theory is complete.

After studying the contradictory theories of good and evil nature, benefiting others and self-interest, individualism and socialism, idealism and materialism, knowing is difficult and doing is easy and knowing is easy and doing is difficult, the author draws a conclusion: "Whether ancient or modern In China and abroad, if there are two contradictory theories, both sides hold them for a reason, and they are justified, and after a long period of debate, if they still can't agree, the two theories must coexist, and each must have half of the truth. When the two theories are combined into one, the theory is complete."

The author was not very satisfied with Sun Yat-sen's theory in the past, so last year he wrote "My Opinion on Solving Social Problems", which was a self-made approach, independent research, not related to the principle of people's livelihood, and thought that it was beyond the scope of Sun Yat-sen. At the time of this article, I took Sun Yat-sen's theory and studied it again, intending to find a gap and attack it. He could dodge it from any direction, and he knew that his theory was perfect.When he advocated this kind of theory, he took all directions into consideration. The various solutions to social problems I proposed last year were all included in the principle of people's livelihood. When I discussed this issue, I had my own base and did not Relying on Sun Yat-sen is the result. Sun Yat-sen has already said it before me. Because he is ashamed of his poor knowledge, he admires Sun Yat-sen's deep strength.Where the truth lies, I don't dare to insist on my own differences, so I use what I have learned from my research as the material to elucidate Sun Yat-sen's theory. Not out of blind obedience.

When the author was young, he admired Confucius very much. He saw in the "Book of Rites" that "Confucianism has people who live today, people who live in ancient times, people who live in ancient times, practice it in this world, and think it in Kai" in later generations.Later, I felt dissatisfied with many aspects of Confucianism, so I changed the word Zongwu to express my belief in myself, and declared independence to Confucius.Now that I study it carefully, I realize that Confucius' knowledge is inherently profound and can indeed reconcile individualism and socialism, which is far beyond the reach of Western philosophers. This is the relationship of the times, and it does not seriously damage his theory.In ancient times, the sovereign rested with the monarch, so Confucius said that being loyal to the monarch is not respecting the monarch, but respecting the sovereign. Now the sovereign rests with the people, we just change it to be loyal to the people.For example, Confucius said: "The emperor should treat his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers should be loyal to the emperor." We changed it to: "The people should be polite to the government, and the government should be loyal to the people." When it is implemented, there will be no abuses.Sun Yat-sen once said: European and American people often have an attitude of resistance to the government.Swiss scholars invented a new saying, saying that "the people must change their attitude towards the government".We say that "the people should be courteous to the government", which can be regarded as a new theory. If we revise it for Confucius, his theory will become the latest theory now. "University" has a passage "Ge Zhicheng is cultivating Qi Zhiping", which integrates individualism and socialism. Sun Yat-sen praised him as "a treasure unique to China, which has not been seen by foreign great politicians."Confucius said: "On the way of the great way, the world is for the public." Sun Yat-sen often liked to write the words "The world is for the public", because Confucius' ideal society is a world of great harmony, and Sun Yat-sen's ideal society is also a world of great harmony, so Sun Yat-sen said to Confucius, Very heartbroken.

Things in the universe are originally multiplying endlessly. From the first one, there are countless ones. same.Although ancient and modern lecturers are separated and mutually exclusive, in fact, the more they talk, the more they are in harmony. For example, Song Confucianism rejected Buddhism. No one can deny that there are Zen principles in their teachings. Mencius rejected Gaozi, and Wang Yangming was A person who worships Mencius said: "There is no goodness and no disgusting body", and his words are absolutely incomparable.And so on, too numerous to enumerate, because the truth of the universe comes from the same source, as long as we can search deeply, we will return to the same.Just like the grass and trees growing in the mountains, judging from their differences, the grass is different from the tree, this tree is different from that tree, they are the same tree, and there are thousands of flowers and leaves that come out. Look at it with a microscope, and none of them are the same. There is no single leaf in the same flower, so it can be said that they are extremely different.If we can understand it, from the same point of view, the flowers are the same, the leaves are the same, the flowers are the same as the leaves, this tree is the same as that tree, and the wood is the same as the grass.Going further, vegetation and animals are the same, and if you observe them carefully, there is no difference between molecules, atoms, and electrons in vegetation, animals, and sand. .Someone asked me: "You said that psychological changes follow the common law of mechanics. May I ask that the various theories vary from the same, and then the same from the difference, which one belongs to the common law of mechanics?" I said: " The change of water is the change of power. The water from the same source can be divided into several branches, and the water from different sources can be merged into one stream. It does not follow the laws of mechanics. Everything in the universe that can be compared with water can be said to conform to the laws of mechanics.”

When Chinese people study knowledge, they can often see the whole of it, but not the subtleties. The ancient sages saw everything in the world when they opened their mouths. In general, it is like seeing a mountain from a distance, but you can see the whole of the mountain. The truth about the grass and trees on the mountain is vaguely explained.Westerners study in different disciplines, and they can see very clearly every plant and tree on the mountain, but they don't have a very clear understanding of the whole mountain.In the future, there will be a day when Chinese and Western theories will be integrated. When the theories converge into one, it means that the thinking is consistent, and when the thinking is consistent, it is the motivation for world harmony.The current world is full of disputes, which are purely caused by differences in theories. If we want to avoid such disputes, the way to start is to strive for the unity of theories.The so-called unanimity is no longer pulling together, but exploring the source. As long as you find out the source, you will naturally come into agreement.Therefore, we criticize various theories, seek out the similarities among the differences, adapt to the situation, and find a way to reconcile among the disharmony, so as not to violate the trend of evolution.It's not that we try to reconcile it, because it is fundamentally reconciled by itself.I see that people in the country now often use the same arguments to find differences on purpose, and things that can be reconciled, they try to do it from the perspective of disharmony, attacking each other, repelling each other, and everything starts from conflict. There is chaos, and it is unknown when it will end.

Now all parties and factions are full of disputes. Except for those who have prejudices and impulsiveness, all other disputes are actually brewed out of conflicts of doctrine.To reconcile this kind of dispute, in my opinion, it is best for everyone to thoroughly study the theories they believe in, and to observe the theories they are opposed to calmly, looking for similarities and differences between the two. We must be able to search out the true truth, and the disputes between each other will be eliminated immediately.Because there is only one truth in the universe, as long as the research is thorough, the results will be the same.If there are two people who have different results, one of them must have not studied thoroughly, or both of them have not done it thoroughly. If it is done thoroughly, there will be no reason why the results are different. Since everyone's thinking tends to be the same, naturally there will be no disputes .

Now all kinds of doctrines stand side by side, just like all countries in the world stand side by side. With national boundaries, one country and another country will have disputes, and with doctrines, this party will have disputes with other parties. All kinds of doctrines must also be merged into one and then cease. There is no country, no doctrine. National borders and doctrines will be eliminated together. This is the world of great harmony.The author advocates uniting the world's weak and small nations and attacking the big powers, which can be said to be following the track of Datong. Advocating various doctrines and conducting research publicly can also be said to be following the track of Datong.
