All Heavens Xie Wu

Moral philosophy can only be complete if it takes both aspects into account.

On the issue of xinxing, xinxing is not only the noumenon of moral practice, but also the noumenon of the biochemistry of the universe and the noumenon of all existence.

In this way, moral philosophy naturally leads to a moral metaphysics.

"Moral metaphysics" approaches metaphysics from a moral approach, and thus makes a "noumenal statement" and a "cosmological statement" for all existence.

In a certain western country, there is a Neo-Confucian master Kant, who based Neo-Confucianism on the "theology of morality", but did not actively realize and fully justify the "metaphysics of morality".

However, Kant's ideas of freedom of will, things in themselves, and the use of aesthetic judgments to communicate the moral world and the natural world contain the tendency of "moral metaphysics".

The Confucians of the former dynasty followed the pre-Qin Confucians' "teaching of virtue", and the "learning of mind and nature" they promoted meant the full completion of the "metaphysics of morality".

This is also Mr. Mou Zongsan's basic characterization and positioning of Taoism in the previous dynasty.

Therefore, Taoism of the former dynasty is not only a general moral theory, but also a metaphysics in the true sense. Opened up new horizons.

But in the eyes of the disciples, their "Confucianism" is not pure at all, it is mixed with too many other theories and ideas, such as Zen, Confucianism, Taoism, etc. Neo-Confucianism cannot be called the real "Confucianism".

In the eyes of the disciples, the supreme god of Neo-Confucianism is the god worshiped in the ritual and music civilization, that is, Huangtian.

Huang Tian is the law of heaven.

The representatives of God in the human world are kings and teachers.

The earliest books in which the word "God" appeared in Neo Confucianism were "Shangshu" and "Book of Songs".

God is also mentioned many times in the Book of Rites.

"Shangshu": "Heaven blesses the people, as a king, as a teacher, but he restrains God and favors the four directions."

"Shang Shu·Tang Oath": "The king said: "I only heard what you said, the Xia family is guilty, and I fear God and dare not be wrong. "

"The Book of Songs": "The emperor is a god, and there is a great presence below, watching the four directions, begging the people."

"Book of Rites": "It is the moon, and the son of heaven prays to God on the first day."

Haotian God or Huangtian God is the official appellation of Shangtian, Tiandi, Heavenly Father, Huangtian, and Old Heaven.

The original meaning of God in Chinese is to refer to the god who dominates the universe, and it has appeared in Confucian literature since ancient times.

Zheng Xuan, a great Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty, claimed that "God is another name for heaven.

Xuanji believes that "Heaven", "Emperor", "Tao" and "Li" are all different names for the same ontology.

Confucian sacrifices and Zhouyi Liuyao are the embodiment of religious psychological activities.

Moral theology means a theology that starts with morality.

That is to say, "I am not presupposing that there is a God, and then God created morality, and God stipulated morality.

If this is the case, then there is God first, and then morality. This is called "theological ethics".

Moral theology is reversed. I first admit that people are moral, and then where does this morality come from?

Xuanji speculates that it comes from God, so it is said that Neo Confucianism is established from morality!

Among them, the disciple already had Galen in his heart, and the first thought of Neo Confucianism was ontology.

Ontological issues, that is, the original issues of the world.

How to express it specifically, the mystery is still unable to explain, and it needs to be learned slowly in the future.

The second thought of Neo Confucianism is the theory of mind and nature!

The problem of the theory of mind and nature, that is, the source of human nature and the relationship between heart, nature and emotion.

The third idea of ​​Neo Confucianism is epistemology!

The problem of epistemology, that is, the source of knowledge and the method of knowing.

The fourth idea of ​​Neo Confucianism is the method of self-cultivation.

Traditional Confucianism pays attention to the cultivation of one's own body and mind, and then to reach the way of heaven.

The disciples advocated the methods of "reversing the nature" and "changing the temperament" so as to return to the nature with noumenal character.

For example, Zhang Zai believes that everyone has both "nature of heaven and earth" and "nature of temperament".

"The nature of heaven and earth" is pure and good, while the "nature of temperament" is both good and evil.

It is not that saints do not lack the "nature of temperament", nor is their "nature of temperament" completely good.

Ordinary people are not without "nature of heaven and earth", and their "nature of heaven and earth" is also pure and good.

The difference between a sage and an ordinary person lies only in the sage's "good and evil", that is, he is good at discovering, seeing and returning to the nature of the pure and good heaven and earth, while the ordinary person is shackled by the "nature of temperament" and does not know and is not good at rebelling, so Difficult to be otherworldly.

Zhang Zai's anti-heaven and earth nature is undoubtedly the nature of noumenal character, but his disciples feel that his nature is not pure enough, and it needs to be dialectical. "

Hong Xuanji said a lot in one breath, and the students around him were confused, and they didn't know what he was talking about, but Su Yang could hear it very clearly.

"As expected of the son of luck in this era, this understanding is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!"

Su Yang lamented Hong Xuanji's comprehension in his heart, but his complexion did not change at all, he was still very indifferent, and said: "Okay! Be ambitious, since you want to study Neo-Confucianism, then the teacher will call you Neo-Confucianism in the future, so that you can realize your own as soon as possible. Science."

"Thank you teacher!"

until this time.

Hong Xuanji is the real teacher like Su Yang.

……

Chapter 3 The Son of a Thousand Leaves

The next day, Su Yang, who taught Hong Xuanji and the others a day off for a strict teaching task, no matter it was windy, rainy, cloudy or thundery, he would give them a day off.

The beautiful name is "Yesterday, you have expressed your desires in your heart, so write it down, and then give it to me, and I will start training you after the teacher and I have sorted out the relevant materials!"

Maybe Su Yang's usual majesty is heavier, or it's something else.

In short, the children didn't think too much, and happily left the classroom and walked towards their home, even the class monitor Hong Xuanji was no exception.

Although Su Yang has been constantly breaking new grounds these years, his knowledge is not limited to books, and many contents are clear at a glance.

But the knowledge he really wants to learn is still "Confucianism", because he feels that all things in this time must follow the word Li.

For this reason, Su Yang did not intervene!

The master leads the door, practice depends on the individual!

It was impossible for him to plan Hong Xuanji's life, and Hong Xuanji had to decide how to go in the future. , Because in Su Yang's view, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so old people should stop talking about things between their children and grandchildren!

Besides, Hong Xuanji has grown up, he is no longer the brat he was back then.

However, just as Su Yang was about to go back to his place to sleep, the old village head of Hong Village walked in.

Over the years, whenever the old village chief had time, he would talk to Su Yang after the students finished class. In his opinion, Su Yang was a great man with knowledge and knowledge, and he was able to lead them Hongcun out of this world. people.

That's why he kept communicating with Su Yang to find out his inner thoughts, so as to provide a way out for Hongcun's future!

"Village Chief, you are here!"

In fact, the old village chief had already discovered it before he entered the house, but he didn't point it out. In these years, he basically rarely used force or mana to make himself like an ordinary person. This is why Hong Xuanji and others No reason to be in awe of him.

"Ok!"

The old village chief went straight to Hong Xuanji's seat and sat down. Looking at Su Yang, who had not changed for more than ten years, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and said, "Mr. Su, I heard that you let the children I think it’s good to make a wish, and then teach them knowledge according to local conditions, but will this delay the children’s blood?”

He was really worried, because the children in the classroom were the hope of Hongcun, and their lives should not be ruined by a wrong decision.

"Yes, I do let them state their wishes, and then teach them according to their wishes.

The purpose of doing this is to develop their potential as much as possible, so that more children who are not as qualified as Hong Xuanji and others have a new way out! "

Su Yang knew what the old village chief came here for, so he didn't hide it immediately, and directly expressed his thoughts. It could be regarded as explaining to the old village chief why he did this!

"Oh, so that's it, it's old man Meng Lang!"

The old village chief apologized for not trusting Su Yang, and then asked: "Sir, the world is settled now, and the imperial court is setting up a large-scale imperial examination. When will we let the children of Hong Village go out and try?"

He asked tentatively.

Su Yang didn't understand the answer, but bowed his head and meditated. Originally, he didn't plan to let Hong Xuanji and others participate in the Daqian court so soon.

Because the current Dagan is under the command of Emperor Qian, everything is moving in a good direction, but after reading the original work, he knows that Dagan is the most dangerous time at this time. The big sects are eyeing them.

Among them, the greatest threat to Daqian is the Taishangdao Mengshenji, who killed the last emperor of Dazhou.

Not only that, he also killed the founding emperor of Daqian. Now that Emperor Qian has shown great talent and strategy, he has already entered Mengshenji's eyes. Maybe he will be completely killed by him at any time. After all, Dagan was in a panic.

It is undoubtedly a wrong choice to let Hongcun's children enter the court at this time. As the children's teacher, he naturally has to consider this issue.

However, thinking of Yang Pan who is about to grow up, Su Yang's mind became active unconsciously. Since Hong Xuanji, the son of luck, has already been recruited, it is better to include Yang Pan as well, so as to help him eliminate all crises and ascend to the emperor smoothly.

At that time, wouldn't it be fun to use Yang Pan's Dagan to collect the world's magical weapons and classics!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Su Yang's handsome face, and he said: "What the village chief said is that now is indeed the best time to enter the court."

Su Yang's words made the old village head happy, but then he heard Su Yang's voice: "However, these children have not completed their studies, and even if they take the imperial examination, they will not get any good rankings.

Instead of this, it would be better to let them study for a few years and take the imperial examination, and then they will pass high school, wouldn't it be beautiful! "

"Ok!"

The old village chief is not a fool, after hearing Su Yang's explanation, the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly, replaced by a kind of gratitude.

He felt that his mind was small!

"Actually, someone doesn't have to wait a few years..."

Su Yang said with a smile.

"Who?"

The old village chief frowned.

"Hong Xuanji!"

Su Yang blurted out.

"Why?"

Although the old village chief is not smart, but he is old-fashioned and slippery, he naturally wants to know the reason.

"Hong Xuanji's aptitude is decisive, and it is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people. He is not young now, and he will be an adult in a while!

Staying in Hongcun will limit his development, so I want him to go out and make a fortune, so that he can see the cruelty of the troubled times! "

"how you said that?"

The old village head is puzzled?

"Under the peace, there is an undercurrent...

Su Yang sighed: "Da Qian inherits everything from Da Zhou, but without the strength of Da Zhou, the strongest person is Emperor Qian!

Such an existence could not suppress the Fangwai sect at all!

If something unexpected happens to him, Dagan will inevitably fall into chaos, and the remnants of the previous dynasty will also jump out.

At that time, troubled times will come..."

"Impossible! Now that the whole world is under Dagan, who dares to harm the Emperor Dagan?"

The old village chief didn't understand, thinking that Su Yang's words were a bit exaggerated.

"Oh, I watched the sky last night. The emperor star where Daqian is located is dim, and the stars of the world's heroes are shining. I'm afraid that just waiting for him to die, the world will be in chaos!"

Su Yang doesn't even blush when he tells lies. These contents are not what he saw while watching the world at night. Instead, they are what he remembered when he read novels in his previous life, but it is still no problem to use them to kill the old village chief.

"Since the master has said that troubled times are coming, why do you want to let Hong Xuanji go out?"

The old village head wondered.

"Genius needs to go through wind and rain!"

Su Yang said slowly.

The old village head nodded thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask. Then the two exchanged for a while, and the old village head left!

Afterwards, Su Yang started the process of teaching students according to their aptitude according to everyone's wishes.

Time is like running water, and a spring and autumn has passed unconsciously. The people who put forward their wishes in those years have obtained their own harvests, which can be regarded as living up to the vows of the year.
