Chapter 715 I admit defeat
Lin Xuan felt that the game was boring and crooked. If it was a debate, then there must be different opinions.
He brought it up, and the other party used the sages to pressure him.
What the sages said must be right?
Any kind of thought is matured after continuous improvement and the verification of time.
Lin Xuan does not deny that many ideas put forward by the sages of Confucianism are still very applicable even after thousands of years.
But it doesn't mean he has to accept this idea.
He feels that the development of Confucianism has entered a pathological state, a bit similar to the Western Holy See, which directly defines other sects as heresies.
Just look at the development of Confucianism. During the Warring States period, there were many sages of Confucianism.
And what about the future of Confucianism?
It's not that Confucianism didn't cultivate talents. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, it became more and more difficult for other theories to survive.
Those civil servants in history all studied Confucian books.
Seriously, he can be said to be a disciple of Confucianism.
Lin Xuan's morbidity is ideological. In fact, since the Qin Dynasty ruled the world, although those dynasties were feudal, they were relatively open.
However, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the rise of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism led China to a more feudal road.
Especially during the Yuan Dynasty, in order to allow the people of the Han family to accept their rule honestly, Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism was vigorously promoted.
The most frightening thing is that Cheng-Zhu Confucianism advocates self-cultivation but harms individuals, advocates ruling the world but excludes dissidents and stifles freedom of speech.When it developed to the Qing Dynasty, people's thinking was solidified to the extreme, and it can be said that the people of the country have been completely enslaved, and people have become puppets, slaves who are obedient and have no desires!
Of course, Lin Xuan didn't think Cheng Zhu was bad at Neo Confucianism.
To be honest, he doesn't know Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, so he is not qualified to say good or bad.
Perhaps Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is good, or it may be deliberately distorted by those in power to benefit their own rule.
But the final result of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is not good.
Although the current Confucian xenophobia is not so serious, it has already begun to take shape.
Xun Wen proposed to use Xunzi's theory of evil nature as the topic of the debate, but he was not allowed to question Xunzi's words. Everyone present, including Xu Geng, didn't feel anything wrong with such a weird thing.
It can be seen that the words of the sages are wise and famous, and it is already a deep-rooted thought.
Xun Wen was trembling with anger, pointed at Lin Xuan and said, "You are making too much sense."
Lin Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said lightly: "You keep saying that the words of the sages are unquestionable, so have you done what Confucius said? You have not done it, and you dare to call yourself a child of Confucianism?"
Teaching without discrimination is a thought put forward by Confucius, which means that some people should not be excluded from the educational objects because of rich or poor, high or low, wisdom or ignorance, good or evil, etc., and everyone should be educated.
The second can refer to people, originally there are "categories", such as some wise, some stupid, some filial, and some unfilial, but through education, these differences can be eliminated.
But to be honest, not even Confucius himself did it.
"The Analects of Confucius Shuer": "If you take one corner and don't use three corners to reverse it, then there will be no more."
If any student can't do it, draw inferences from one instance, it will no longer teach.This "no longer" means no longer teaching.Also, Confucius did not recruit female students.
The idea that there is no discrimination in education is very admirable. Everyone is limited by their own class, family, wealth, crime, education, and occupation; Confucius believes that education can improve people regardless of these categories, which is very exciting. the opinion of.
But as the person who put forward this idea, he didn't do it himself, let alone these people who are trying to catch their reputation.
"How can the old man compare with the saint? Naturally, there are many things that the old man failed to achieve, but no one in the old man should reflect on himself, constantly reflect and correct, and learn from the saint." Xun Wen said.
Lin Xuan was overwhelmed, and everything you said about co-authoring made sense.
If I put forward different opinions, it is called disrespecting the sages, and if you can't do it, it is called not being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the saints?
Every time a dog is slaughtered by justice, it is mostly a scholar who bears his heart.
This sentence is not false at all. Some people who read sage books always like to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and judge others from the commanding heights. In fact, it is just for their own selfishness.
Those ordinary people may not have read the book and can't explain the big truth, but they can prove it with actions. Although they can't say it, it doesn't mean that they really don't understand.
Lin Xuan did not discriminate against scholars. In fact, he respected Wen Tianxiang, a scholar who would rather die than surrender.
Who has never died since ancient times? Keep your loyalty and history.
This is a true literati style, and there is no shortage of people like Wen Tianxiang in history, but there are more people with full stomachs.
"Hehe, since that's the case, then I admit defeat in this game." Lin Xuan sneered.
You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
admit defeat?
How can you admit defeat?
Xun Wen almost vomited blood out of breath, he was already thinking of all kinds of words to criticize Lin Xuan and ruin Lin Xuan's reputation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan gave up directly, which made him feel like he had hit the cotton with his fist.
When everyone heard Lin Xuan's words, they all looked at Lin Xuan in astonishment.
Li Shimin, who sat high on the head, was also a little surprised. He quickly realized it and nodded approvingly.
According to the current situation, if Lin Xuan continued to argue, it would only be detrimental to him.
Confucianism is not a group, let alone Lin Xuan, and even Li Shimin can't touch it.
The emperors of all dynasties will chase after Confucius, is it because they really respect Confucius?
Not necessarily, most of them are interested in the influence of Confucius in Confucianism.
Only in this way can the hearts of scholars in the world be settled.
To put it bluntly, it's just for show.
Seriously speaking, Lin Xuan's remarks were indeed questioning the words of Mencius and Xunzi.
Continue to argue, even if these people are speechless, so what?
Does Lin Xuan have any practical benefits?
On the contrary, if these people can promote Lin Xuan to question Mencius and Xunzi and disrespect the sages, Lin Xuan will be condemned by scholars all over the world.
Anyway, Lin Xuan has already won, and admitting defeat does not mean cowardly, it is just a matter of retreating.
Lin Xuan looked at the astonished eyes of everyone, and said lightly: "I think what I said before is not appropriate, and now I want to admit defeat, is it possible that others are not allowed to admit defeat?"
Meng Yuan came back to his senses, and said somewhat unnaturally: "There is no rule. It is natural for Lord Hou to admit defeat. Since Lord Hou admits defeat, let's try the next match."
"Do you still need to compare in the next game?" Lin Xuan pointed to the few words written before and said.
It's not that Lin Xuan thinks that his calligraphy is unmatched.
In fact, although the thin gold body looks very beautiful and has the bonus of a newly created font, it is a new font after all.
Most Tang Dynasty people liked Feibai or copied Wang Xizhi's characters, so they still lacked acceptance of this typeface.
But those famous calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty were not present among the people present. Lin Xuan's calligraphy can be said to be the best in the world.
