Daqin: Confucianism, Law, and Taoism

In the middle of a bamboo forest is a small wooden house, which is where Xunzi lives.

As the person with the highest status in Confucianism now, Xunzi has rarely appeared in front of people.

Especially after teaching Han Fei, Huan Wei, and Li Si, Xunzi was even closed most of the time, idling clouds and wild cranes, like a superior person in the world.

And in addition to a few of his own disciples, even Fu Nian and the others, he was almost gone.

When Huan Wei followed Tong Zi Huan to the wooden house, he saw a small stream flowing through the courtyard, planted with flowers and vegetables, and he shouted loudly:

“...... Teacher, the disciple has arrived! "

"Come in." Xun Zixuan's voice came from the room.

Without pushing the door and walking in, he saw the teacher sitting at a chess table, and the ceramic pot next to him was steaming.

"Sit down and talk to my hand."

Xunzi raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side.

Huan Wei walked over without saying a word, knelt opposite Xunzi, and picked up the black chess.

Both of them play chess extremely fast, looking more like entertainment, without much desire to win or lose.

In fact, Weiwei's chess skills are very general, in his opinion, playing chess as a leisure pastime can be, and there is no need to study too much for this.

As for Xunzi, in fact, his chess skills are quite average, but after all, his age is here, he has rich experience, and he is a few chips better than Weiwei when he plays chess.

"What did the teacher do with me?"

Wenwei asked as he dropped the pieces.

"You've been going to the library all this time?"

Xunzi asked while playing against Huan Wei.

"Yes."

Most Confucian disciples knew about this matter, and there was nothing to hide.

Xun Zi was holding a white chess piece in his hand, he glanced at Huan Wei and said, "... But when you're in the library, you're reading Taoist books. "

"Judging by your appearance, you are quite respectful of Taoism."

Xunzi's words made Huan Wei look frozen, and he laughed: "... This, teacher..."

Seeing this, Xunzi laughed rarely, "... It doesn't have to be so, if you have anything you want to say, just say it, teacher, I don't mind. "

"I have already taught Legalist disciples like Han Fei and Li Si, even if I teach another Taoist disciple?"

Speaking of which, Xun Zi is a little bit of a fool himself.

Huan Wei's expression straightened, he considered his words, and slowly spoke: "... Confucianism pays attention to self-cultivation, and the Qi family governs the country and the world. "

"No matter what self-cultivation is, in the final analysis, the purpose is actually to govern the country and level the world."

"Although there are many Confucian disciples, they seem to study knowledge, but all they seek is to use their knowledge to obtain an official and a half-job."

"The so-called ambition in the chest is not contradictory to wanting to be a marquis, and only by being in a high position can you show your governing philosophy."

"Even you, teacher, didn't you also serve as a Lanling Ling in the Chu Kingdom?"

Saying this, Huan Wei also glanced at Xunzi.

The former Xunzi was appointed as Lanling Ling by Chunshen Jun of Chu State, and finally by Zhao Guobai as Shangqing.

Xunzi nodded slightly, did not make a sound, and continued to listen to Huan Wei's words.

"Therefore, both Confucians and Legalists like to talk about monarchs, because only monarchs can realize their ideas of governing the country."

"Even Confucianism and Legalism have some detailed codes of conduct for what the monarch should do."

"But in my opinion, how can a king completely obey what others say, whether it is a king who rules the country, or a Confucian or a legalist?"

"If a great country is governed by small fresh food, the king should have his own thoughts and considerations, just as the way of administering the present is to protect the present!"

In the future of the pre-Qin era, he saw the real original Tao Te Ching and understood how much the Tao Te Ching had changed in the later life.

For example, the phrase 'the way of holding on to the present, with the existence of the present' is the content of the Tao Te Ching of this era.

However, in the Tao Te Ching of the future, which he has never seen, this sentence is 'the way of the past, so as to protect the present'.

These two sentences have changed one word, and the meaning is already very different.

The 'way of holding on to the present' can be seen literally, which is a kind of attitude concept similar to seeking truth from facts.

Although the 'ancient way' can be interpreted as following the ancient way, it literally gives the impression that it is to follow the ancient law.

Therefore, Huan did not guess that this sentence may be changed by which Confucian family of the descendants, after all, Confucianism follows the ancient rites the most.

All documents in the pre-Qin period were written in bamboo and were expensive, so they had to be concise.

But the consequence of this is that these concise words can actually be understood into many different meanings, which is why there is a future "note" saying.

Everyone can use their own understanding to annotate these classics, so it is possible to tamper with the meaning of the original text.

If it were in modern times, I would write a sentence and then use a paper to explain my sentence, and none of you would want to change my true meaning!

"Whether it is Legalism or Confucianism, although there are many specific concepts and methods of governing the country, this requires a higher level of overall planning."

"And in the eyes of the disciples, Taoism is the most suitable concept to be."

"Because it does nothing and does nothing, it does not require the king to do something, but to let the king govern the country in a transcendent posture."

"Therefore, the king should learn the Taoist teaching, the courtiers should learn the Confucian law, and the lower people should rule the law with the law, which is the student's philosophy of governing the country."

Huan Wei's words were sonorous and powerful, word by word, telling his true ideas in front of Xunzi.

This is exactly the heart of the Taoist Bone of Rupi Fa Bone!
