Chapter 815 Controversy Difficulty ([-])

In the final analysis, Yang Zhu's knowledge, at this time and in this world, is the jurisprudence of rebellion.

To sum it up in one sentence: The idea that I want to satisfy my physical needs is not wrong, but normal and should be!
It is precisely because of these words that Yang Zhu suffered the same fate as the Mohists who also rebelled against the law. The words of no king and no father were completely annihilated in history.

The aristocrats have reached the point where they can't get tired of eating fine meat, fine meat, and bells and bells, but they want the people to abide by the etiquette, not to go beyond it, and to abstain from sexual desires. Undoubtedly, the rules of this world are bastards, so many people feel that people are innocent and innocent. People who are innocent of human physical desires have joined the Yang Chu school.

When a person regards the pursuit of his normal physical desires as wrong and immoral, it will eventually be destroyed.

Zi Huazi divides people into four realms: "full-living, deprived of life, dead, and forced to live". There are not so many mysterious learnings about health preservation, but it is actually very simple.

If you can satisfy your physical desires, eat when you want to eat, and eat meat when you want to eat meat, then this person's life is considered a full life!
If I can properly satisfy my desire for victory, I want to eat and wear new clothes, but I can only choose one of the two, then this life is considered a loss.

Under the loss of life is death.

And after death, if you want to eat, you can't eat, you want to wear clothes, you have to live for the sake of your family, your children, and your parents.

Of course, as far as self-rebirth is concerned, whole life is not indulgence.

For example, if something is delicious and addictive, but if you eat too much, you may die, then this is not a whole life, because the premise of a whole life is to live, and if you indulge in lust without restraint, it may lead to death, that is not a whole life. To be born is to be cheap and commit suicide.

This is a matter of personal cultivation, which can only be considered by those who have the most basic living security.

What Zihuazi wants to say is that the forced living is not as good as death.

"In today's world, how many people are forced to survive? How many people are born alive?

Like the members of the peasant school hundreds of miles away, Zihuazi took out the "social survey" given to them by the Mohists, and sighed bitterly: "From this point of view, in a place in Song Dynasty, it is possible to reach the poor. Take ten out of a hundred; take one out of a hundred for those who can achieve full life; take ninety out of a hundred for those who are not as good as death."

"The Mohists have the words of the three difficulties of the people, and we, Yang Zi's disciples, have the wishes of the six desires, but they are actually the same."

"Ninety percent of the people in the world are just those who are forced to live, so what qualifications do they have to talk about freedom? Talk about self-interest? Talk about life?"

"That's why, I support the Mohists' land reform in the Song Dynasty. This is for the sake of self-interest and precious life for the people of the world."

"A person needs to be at least in the state of loss of life before he can think about the meaning of his whole life and be called a person."

"After all, people first want to be alive, but those who are forced to live are better off dead, and death is not life. How can a thing that is not even alive be considered a person?"

"At least, let the majority of people in the world become living people first, so that we can discuss whether we and the Mohists are right or wrong."

Meng Sunyang also meant the same thing. He nodded at Zihuazi, agreeing with Zihuazi's words.

Every sentence is inseparable from Yang Zi's words. This is the orthodoxy passed down by Yang Zhu to his disciples, and Zihuazi has not surpassed it.

However, the thinking of the Yang Zhu School who joined the WTO on "forced birth" and "human beings" is consistent with the Mohist school's practice of opposing the feudal system and the aristocratic fiefdoms, but the morality is still different after all.

Both the Yang Zhu School and the Mohists are doing the liberation of human nature, but the direction is different, or the means to achieve the goal are different.

Using the Mohist way of thinking, the problem with the Yang Zhu school is that its class foundation is insufficient, so their academic meaning is not enough to become the main force against feudalism. Now if you want to get rid of the feudal aristocrats, you have to rely on the vanguard who will go through fire and water, or rely on the times. If there is enough class interest in the Yangzhu School to develop and grow, it will have to wait for thousands of years or even 2000 years, and this has to be the case that there are no accidents in the external environment.

It’s not that it’s wrong, it’s that there is no class basis. If today’s businessmen and petty citizens are powerful enough to overthrow the feudal lords, then the theories of the Yang-Zhu School will inevitably become the guiding theories, but they are not enough now.

Meng Sunyang does not accept the Mohist theory of class interests, in other words, he does not accept the Mohist saying that "righteousness is benefit, and different classes have different righteousness".

But from the perspective of one-sided human nature, he can also oppose the etiquette and law of the feudal aristocrats, and it is still early to have a moral dispute with the Mohist school that continues to be passed on.

Zihuazi's words did not use the principles of the Mohists, but the principles of the Yang Zhu School itself. Meng Sunyang was very satisfied with this, and it was easier to be accepted by the disciples of the three generations.

A group of young disciples are also thinking about the difference between full life and forced life, if they realize something, if they think about it.

Looking at the numbers and content on the "Social Survey" report, they turned into something different, no longer boring numbers, but vivid people.

Live people.

One percent of people can satisfy their desires.

Ten percent of the people can live at a loss, and they can't wear what they want to eat, and they can't eat what they want to wear.

And more than 90.00% of people are just forced to live. In Zihuazi's words, it is called life is worse than death. Even the most basic physical desires cannot be satisfied. What is the difference between that and death?
In the eyes of people of the Yang Zhu School, failing to satisfy one's most basic physical desires is not enough to talk about morality and ideals.

But at this time, this sentence is not a contemptuous question of "you are worthy of talking about your heart and nature", but a sigh of compassion and compassion, and it is the heart of "let everyone in the world have the right to value themselves and life" The ambition of joining the WTO.

Meng Sunyang looked at the group of disciples, and said slowly: "Zihua is right. Yang Zi said that if you don't pluck a hair, it will benefit the world. How many people in the world can actually pluck hair? Not even a hair , but talking about whether hair-plucking should be done or not, isn’t that ridiculous?”

"The Mo family regards their own lives as their own hairs, so they can pull them out, and they can go through fire and water to die without turning back. Everything they do on Sishang is actually to let everyone have own hair."

"It's just that, from their point of view, if you don't even want your life, can't you pluck your own hair so that everyone in the world has hair to pluck?"

"We're different, we're not like them."

"We don't have the tolerance to dedicate ourselves to outsiders, but if someone plucks our hair, we are also willing to give everything for it, even our lives. Everyone is like this, why do we need a Mohist who braves the wind and rain? Everyone is like this, how can the world be broken?"

However, Meng Sunyang's words still attracted doubts from a disciple. This disciple lived in Sishang for a few days and heard a lot of Mohist theories, so he couldn't help but raise doubts about Meng Sunyang's words.

He asked: "Sir, just now Zihuazi said that those who are forced to live are more important than those who are forced to live; you also said that there are few people in the world who can be plucked, and those who have only one life are more important."

"Yangzi's principles are applicable to all people in the world. Everyone can live a whole life, and everyone has a hair to pull out. At that time, whether to have a full birth or not depends on whether you want to, not what it is like now. You can live by force, but you can't live completely if you have to..."

"But now, nine out of ten people in the world don't even have Mao, so what are they defending?"

"Someone has to stand up and work hard for everyone in the world to have hairs that can be pulled out, even if they don't hesitate to die. Is such a person worthy of praise?"

"From Mo Zhai's creation to the present, the Mohists have died because of the righteousness that everyone in the world has their own hair that cannot be easily pulled out by others. There are more than [-] people. Are these people committing suicide? Or are they honoring life? ?”

"Another example is the matter in the Song Dynasty. The Mo family and even the people of Sishang sent troops because they belonged to the world. If we didn't send troops, what qualifications would we have to stand here and give those people their own hair? "

Hearing that Meng Sunyang was at a loss for words, his disciples lowered their heads and asked questions. These questions were born in just a few months of life in Sishang. Huali learned from Zixia and became famous in Xihe, but he betrayed Confucianism and returned to Mohism.

Since the founding of the Mohism, there are those who rebel against Mohism and return to Yang because of their unwillingness to sacrifice, some rebel against Mohism and return to farmers for true equality, some have fierce internal struggles and want to retreat to Daoism, and some seek meritorious deeds in the name of meritorious deeds There is no one who rebels against Mohism and returns to Confucianism.

Thinking about those people who rebelled against ink and returned to Yang, Meng Sunyang understands that some of those who rebelled against ink and returned to Yang may really understand Yang Zhu's righteousness and have their own hearts, and some are not willing to die for the benefit of others , Why don't you not want to suffer yourself for the sake of loving the world?
Looking at the doubting disciples, Meng Sunyang sighed and said: "In the past, when Qinzi was still around, he argued with me. He said that all schools of thought have their own knowledge, and most of them are for the benefit of the world, but they have never solved one problem. The simplest question...what to do?"

"Such as Shangqiu to Yingdu, such as Shangqiu to Luoyi, the style of Yingdu Luoyi, each has its own description, but few can make a carriage."

"If sacrifices are really necessary to benefit the world, then those who make the sacrifices should be left to the Mohists. Their righteousness is proud of their sacrifices. In their righteousness, they are heroes, but in our righteousness, they are heroes. They are fanatics who don’t know how to value themselves. If they don’t know how to value themselves today, how can they value people tomorrow?”

"Sacrifice today, the Mohists will do it; tomorrow's whole life, I will wait for the Lord."

"Zizi said, the past and present are called the universe, and the four directions are called the universe. From the past to the present, it is endless. Why focus on this moment? For the future, it is not wrong for us to value ourselves and our whole life."

This is Yang Zhu's righteousness, and his righteousness is not to enter the army, not to make sacrifices, not to be a sacrifice for the feudal lords to contend for world hegemony, and not to be a sacrifice for the world's great interests.

Meng Sunyang doesn't need to put too many morals in line with the current "virtuousness, righteousness, benevolence, and love" for his behavior. They are against the old morality, and they are also against the new morality that Mohism is developing and establishing.

Seven or eight disciples who were affected by "inkization" in Sishang worshiped in the tunnel: "Sir, we have heard that the way is different and we don't conspire with each other. We are willing to make sacrifices for the great benefit of the world. Please forgive us for our betrayal."

After talking, a few people saluted, Meng Sunyang accepted it calmly, and when the salute was over, Meng Sunyang bowed and returned the salute with the courtesy of meeting scholars: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and their ambitions are different. What is the crime? We are not Mohists." , not as strict as the Mohist discipline and rules, since you all have the idea of ​​making sacrifices for the benefit of the world, I only hope you can think clearly."

A former disciple was silent for a while, his expression became more determined, and he replied: "I have always believed in Yang Zi's words, and I have never changed."

"An ancient saying goes, the Son of Heaven owns the world, the feudal lords own the country, and the great officials have their families."

"I hope that all the people in the world can become unruly people. I hope that every one of the people in the world can become a doctor, a unique doctor who rules the territory called 'your own home'. The wind can enter, and the rain can Enter, the emperor cannot enter; in my home, I am the emperor, don't hurt me, and don't raise a person for the world, even if the emperor wants to hurt me, I will draw my sword to resist."

"But... After all, someone needs to sacrifice for it. This is not given by God, nor can it be given by the Son of Heaven."

"Perhaps in the future, there will be conflicts between me and the Mohist's universal love for the world... But now, I believe that only the Mohist way can make everyone a unique doctor in the territory of their own home" .As for the future... What does the infinity of the universe that has been called the universe from ancient times to the present have anything to do with my present life?"

He is like the thousands of scholars in the world who are determined for fame, for profit, for righteousness, and for various reasons in the world. The purpose may be different, but the determination of the heart is the same.Taking a last look at the classmates and friends who have been with him day and night, he resolutely turned his head and walked towards Sishang who had turned his back on him.
