Da Qin: Comparing his sons, Ying Zheng was sour.

After Prince Fusu's various sentences on the sky curtain about"the people can use it but not make it known" came out, not only"Zhang Cang" on the sky curtain panicked, but also Zhang Cang and Chun Yuyue and other Confucian doctors under the sky curtain. They all panicked.

As one of the prominent schools of thought among hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism can be said to be one of the schools with the largest number of scholars in the world.

And after more people study, it is normal for different people to study the same words of sages and have different opinions.

If the saints are still there, then there is no big problem.

As long as the sages make a fair decision based on the understanding of different scholars.

It means that one of the understandings is true and is the correct understanding, while other ideas are wrong understandings.

Then after the moment of chaos, the wrong understandings of other scholars will slowly disappear, leaving only the correct understanding of the words of the sages.

However, when the sage has died and only left his words and works to be handed down to the world, subsequent scholars will have different understandings of the sage's words, and it may even be a wrong understanding.

The sage could not rise from the grave, loudly rebuking such and such a scholar for his wrong understanding of such and such words.

So in this case, who can determine which scholar's understanding of the sages' words is correct and which scholar's understanding of the sages' words is wrong?

The answer is no one!

And if no one is sure, then two, or even multiple scholars with different understandings of the words of the sages, can debate with each other to convince the other party, or even several other parties?

The answer is almost impossible!

It is more likely to eliminate the opponent through physical means and make it impossible for the other party to refute oneself than to make it impossible for the other party to refute oneself through reasoning and debate.

Therefore, based on different understandings of the words and works of Confucius in the past, subsequent Confucian scholars gradually developed differences.

Then no one among the Confucian scholars could convince anyone, so Confucianism gradually split into eight factions, namely:

"The Confucianism of Zi Zhang, the Confucianism of Zisi, the Confucianism of the Yan family, the Confucianism of the Meng family, the Confucianism of the Qidiao family, the Confucianism of the Zhongliang family, the Confucianism of the Sun family, and the Confucianism of the Lezheng family."

And these eight major factions each have different opinions and ideological views.

For example, the"Zi Zhang's Confucianism" was formed by Zi Zhang, a disciple of Confucius in his later years.

It advocated that"when a scholar sees danger, he will die, and when he sees it, he will think of righteousness, and sacrifice"Thinking of respect, thinking of mourning", clearly opposed to"not adhering to morality and not being faithful to the faith""，"People and things who are not faithful in words and disrespectful in deeds.

And they have the characteristics of being philanthropic and tolerant of others, being strict and lenient.

From a certain perspective, Zizhang's Confucianism is closer to Mohist thought. In other words, Zizhang's Confucianism is Xunzi , one of the most influenced by Mohist thought, once severely criticized"Zi Zhang's Confucianism" in his"Fei Twelve Sons", calling them"cheap Confucian scholars". , were very dissatisfied with Xunzi and the Confucian scholars of the Sun Confucian school to which Xunzi belonged.

For example, Sun Confucianism, with Xunzi as its representative, developed Confucius' etiquette in political thought. He advocated the rule of law and etiquette; philosophically, he advocated the separation of heaven and man and used them to control destiny; he believed that human nature is evil and good people are false, and emphasized the importance of acquired learning.

Among the Confucian scholars of the Sun family, Xunzi's classics was the most inherited. The most famous disciples are Han Fei and Li Si, but they have broken through the boundaries of their teacher Xunzi's Confucian school and become representatives of Legalism.

In addition, the ideas advocated by Sun's Confucianism are also consistent with Confucianism. The"benevolence" of Xunzi and Sun's Confucianism is very different, so the other seven schools of Confucianism do not recognize Sun's Confucianism.

Some even some fierce Confucian scholars regard Xunzi and Sun's Confucianism as Confucianism. Traitors and villains are the undercover agents of Confucianism who deliberately inserted themselves into Confucianism!

Well, most of these Confucian scholars who spoke fiercely were the Confucian scholars of Meng's Confucianism, with Mencius as its representative figure. Confucius's benevolence thought put forward the theory that human nature is inherently good, as well as the political ideal of implementing benevolent government and kingship, as well as the people-oriented thought of valuing the people and respecting the king.

Among them, Mencius'"theory of human nature being inherently good" and Xunzi's"theory of"human nature is inherently evil".", it can be said that they are tit for tat, and they are two extremes of human nature.

This also resulted in the tit for tat confrontation between the two schools of Confucian scholars, Meng's Confucianism and Sun's Confucianism. It can be said that no one can understand the other.

These two schools of Confucianism. When Confucian scholars meet, it is normal for them to sneer at each other or to fight each other at worst.

And there are Confucians like Meng and Sun who are at the two extremes of human nature, so naturally they also have opinions. The Confucianism of the Qi Diao family is represented by Qi Diao Kai, Qi Diao Duo, and Qi Diao Tufu.

In terms of their views on human nature, they advocate that human nature has good and evil qualities, and they are neither greedy nor greedy. If you run away with your eyes, your march will be contrary to Zang Huo, and if you act straight, you will be angry with the princes. The Lord of the World thinks he is honest and polite; he does not want to be an official, but he is brave and brave.

To put it bluntly, this school follows the line of Ren Xia and Confucian Xia..

Similarly, from another perspective, the Confucianism of the Qi Diao family is also more influenced by the Mohist school, because the Chu Mo school also takes the knight route and acts as a knight, like the Meng family.

If the Confucian scholars of the three schools of Confucianism, Sun Confucianism, and Qidiao Confucianism meet to debate together, they will often join forces in the middle of the debate, and then Meng Confucianism and Sun Confucianism will join forces and start the debate.

The Confucian scholars of the Qidiao family, who were regarded as useless by the scholars of the two factions, were beaten to the ground.

Then the Confucian scholars of the Meng family and the Confucian family of the Sun family were unable to convince each other due to their reasons, and then performed a full-scale martial arts show.

The last remaining faction gained this for the time being.

There was a"debate" about the good and evil of human nature, and the Confucian scholars who fell on the ground secretly swore in their hearts that they would make the gentleman's archery skills stronger when they went back, and strive for revenge the next time they met..

In addition to the Confucianism of Zizhang, the Confucianism of Meng, the Confucianism of Qidiao, and the Confucianism of Sun, the remaining Confucians are Zisi, Yan, Zhongliang, and Lezheng. Confucianism also has its own unique thoughts and ideas.

It can be said that there is a big debate within Confucianism.

Then there is no need for other scholars to do anything, just move a small bench to eat melon and watch the show.

The Confucian scholars of these eight schools themselves could find that no one could convince anyone in the middle of a debate, and then they would get angry and start fighting with each other.

The reason why the eight schools of Confucianism are able to peacefully and jointly maintain the name"Confucianism" today is entirely due to the threats posed by other schools of thought besides Confucianism, especially Legalism and Mohism.

If one day Confucianism dominates the world, all other schools of thought will disappear.

Then Confucianism will be divided into eight on the spot, and then a"controversy among the eight schools" will be staged within Confucianism.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After the Western Han Dynasty"deposed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", Confucianism began an internal"survival of the fittest".

After thousands of years of rejecting"heretics", in the end, the Confucian scholars of Zizhang, Qidiao, Zisi, Yan, Zhongliang, and Lezheng were eliminated one after another.

Then Sun Confucianism and Meng Confucianism refuted, argued, communicated, and integrated with each other for thousands of years. In the end, Sun Confucianism, which clearly contained Legalist ideas, was also annexed and integrated by Meng Confucianism.

In the end, Mencius' Confucianism became the orthodoxy of Confucianism, and Mencius was revered as the Lesser Sage.

But these are all things that happened later in the original history. Now Chun Yuyue and other Confucian doctors are thinking about how to solve the second split crisis in the history of Confucianism.

If this is not handled well, Confucianism, which is now divided into eight, may be divided into eighteen.

At that time, it will be even more difficult for Confucians to work together and unite to fight against other schools of thought.

Naturally, the other scholars who were enjoying the show would not miss this rare opportunity to add insult to injury. They immediately looked at Chun Yuyue and other Confucian doctors and asked:

"Hey, Dr. Chunyu, I have little knowledge, and I would like to ask for advice on how to correctly segment the sentence"The people can use it but not know it" said by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the sky curtain?"

"Why do I feel that the sentence"The people can make it but not know it" is more in line with the original meaning of Confucius?"

"No, no, I think it should be 'The people can make it happen?"No, let's know it". This way the interpretation of the sentence is more accurate."

"In my opinion, it is still based on the principle of 'Can the people do anything about it? However, it would be more consistent with your original intention of Confucius to interpret it in fragments by making it known!"

"Hahaha, what you said is wrong. It should be"If the people can make it happen, let it be done; if it can't be made, let it be known." This sentence interpretation is truly correct!"

·· ········Asking for flowers·· ····

·· ········Asking for flowers·· ···· ......

Faced with the words of other doctors from hundreds of schools of thought, which were called"inquiries" but were actually"provocative", Chun Yuyue and other Confucian doctors kept retorting angrily:

"wrong! wrong! That's not the right way to sentence you! That’s not what Kong Sheng meant!"

"The truly correct sentence is 'the people can follow it, but cannot understand it'. This is the original intention of Confucius!"

"Prince Fusu had not read the Confucian sayings and did not know the whole story, so he just cut off the sentences randomly!"

"This is wrong. When Prince Fusu reads Confucianism, he will naturally know that"the people can follow it, but cannot understand it" is the correct way to interpret the sentence.".........

Facing the vigorous refutations and clarifications of Chun Yuyue and other Confucian doctors, the other doctors from hundreds of schools of thought smiled even more happily and said:

"Do you think so?"

"Where is the evidence?"

"Can you prove that Confucius in the past used this sentence:"The people can follow it, but they cannot know it"?"

"I'm afraid this is not your own random understanding of Confucius's words, and then you have such a sentence!"

"Maybe Confucius's correct interpretation of the sentence"The people can be controlled by them but not made to be known" was actually"The people can be controlled by them; but they cannot be made to be known by them". It's just that you unfilial descendants have misinterpreted Confucius' meaning.!"

..............

..............

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are really the"good students" of Confucianism, but you actually misinterpret the thoughts and speeches of Confucius in the past!"

"If Confucius knew anything about it, he would not be so angry that he would rise from his grave to settle accounts with you if he knew that you misinterpreted his thoughts and words in this way!".........

Chun Yuyue and other Confucian doctors saw that they could not debate or clarify, and immediately said angrily:

"good! good! good!"

"Do you think that in my Confucianism, my writings and comments do not have a clear meaning when reading symbols?"

"How many of the doctrines, writings and statements of your various schools and sects have sentences with clear meanings?"

"Today you can maliciously misinterpret the meaning of my Confucian classics, then tomorrow we Confucian disciples can also understand the meaning of your hundreds of schools of thought!"

"Let’s see if our Confucian disciples’ ‘understanding’ of the meaning of the scriptures of your various schools of thought is more in line with the original intention of your various schools of thought.’！"......

As soon as these words came out, the other doctors from hundreds of schools who were still frantically adding insult to injury and ridiculing suddenly froze. broken!

I just laughed so loudly!

They have forgotten the classic words of their various schools, and there is no such thing as using sentences to read the symbols and intervals to clarify their meanings.

If this were wantonly misinterpreted and misinterpreted by Confucians and other disciples of the classics of their various schools, and if the disciples of each school knew about it, wouldn't they be so angry that they would get up from their graves in the middle of the night and scold them for being incompetent? no!

We must not allow Confucian disciples to misinterpret or misinterpret the classics of their various schools in this way!

After today's ceremony, they immediately re-copied the classics of each school when they returned home, and added sentence reading symbols to clarify their meanings.

At the same time, at this moment, both Chun Yuyue and other Confucian doctors, as well as other doctors from hundreds of schools of thought, suddenly realized the importance of the symbols for reading sentences that Prince Fusu had said before.

If the classics of each of their schools were not separated by sentence reading symbols and their meanings were clear, wouldn't it be easy for them to be maliciously misinterpreted by some people with bad intentions?

Sentence reading symbols must be incorporated into the text so that these things can be avoided as much as possible.

Immediately, the eyes of doctors from hundreds of schools focused on the people responsible for the unification of writing and Zuo Prime Minister Wei Zhuang and Zhang Cang.

Since it is necessary to re-copy the classics of each school using Ju-reading symbols, it would be best to re-copy them using the unified Xin Qin characters and the unified Ju-reading symbols.

Otherwise, after the unified Xin Qin characters and the unified sentence reading symbols are released, the classics copied by various schools and schools using different characters and sentence reading symbols will have to be copied again.

At that time, it will be another troublesome matter with a heavy workload for each faction.

Therefore, we must vigorously support and accelerate the emergence and use of the unified New Qin characters and the unified sentence reading symbols! Yu Yu.
