Confucius’s theory of hypocrisy

Recently, some people in Nanjing held an initiation ceremony for primary school students in the Confucius Temple. Not long ago, the number one college student in Jilin also held a vigorous event to worship Confucius... At present, Confucianism's "return to light" has become an indisputable fact. fact, and as the head of Confucian scholarship, he would not have expected that after 2000, future generations would use Confucius himself to carry out the "century project" of moral and cultural education. However, Confucius was not only a hypocrite, but also an out-and-out hypocrite. Sophist! However, such a Confucian thinker who lacks scientific spirit and his ambiguous golden mean has been regarded as a god by the Chinese ruling class and people for more than a thousand years, spread unscrupulously, and passed down the politics of generations of people in an ancient civilized country. Morality, life, philosophy, and temples. For this reason, for a long time, the Chinese people have gradually lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong in those quotations that look like classics. Confucius’ so-called great kindness, so-called life, and so-called moral models are like a cultural enchantment array. Covering up the cruelty, hypocrisy and bloody nature of the real ruling class, they are vague and elusive theoretical flowers that decorate the autocratic heads of feudal emperors, generals and ministers. I know that some people worship Confucius. If you add the Tatar clan, you will definitely be counterattacked by scholars, experts and university professors who are still trying to gain fame and profit by turning over corpses, stealing bones and corrupting Confucianism. However, facts speak louder than words, please listen to me slowly!

1. Confucius’s main thoughts and theories are a hodgepodge of fits and starts, without the systematicness, seriousness and precision of a modern scientific theory. His quotations seem reasonable, but In fact, definitions based on impromptu or random judgments are often unclear. They are the foresight of a deceitful fortune teller. Two-sided explanations can confuse people's minds. In addition to the theoretical ambiguity determined by the polysemy of Chinese characters, In addition, it is also a reason why the ruling class with ulterior motives has always used Confucius's glorious surface and corrupt ideas to disguise himself. For example, if three people are together, there must be a teacher, but it is difficult to raise a woman and a villain, etc. Although these colloquial sayings It tells a simple truth, but without proof, relying on arbitrary and impressionistic judgments often makes many nerds who shake their heads without asking for a clear explanation, obey authoritative thinking, blur the concepts between things, and fall into misunderstandings. In the long run, it will definitely cultivate public acceptance. The slavish mentality and habits were taught. The popularity of the great man Mao’s quotations during the Cultural Revolution is a powerful illustration!

2. Not to mention that the philosophical thought of the Golden mean comes from the "Book of Changes". What is intolerable is that he actually distorted the meaning of yin and yang, and unified and transformed the original opposites of good and evil. The principle is absolute, and the most ridiculous thing about his hypocrisy is that such an "educator" who does not understand science has been reduced to a glib sophist. He uses people's ignorance and mystery of everything to build his own religious-like theoretical basis. The education and enlightenment of the concept of good and evil is a kind of mental poison that stupefies and paralyzes the people. The enslavement thought is another culprit that in addition to the shackles of the ruling class oppressing the bodies of the working people, the suppression and blockade of the hearts of the working people with morality and etiquette. , and his moral theory of maintaining the feudal social order is actually playing a role in aiding the evil, and runs counter to the people-oriented modern democratic thought!

3. Although his explanation of the truth is sound and conclusive, the logic of "classic" speech based on the vague concepts of Chinese characters is chaotic and full of contradictions, which cannot stand the test of time. After careful consideration, it is not an exaggeration to use a clever word to impress someone. For example, recently, in order to prove the rationality and necessity of being grateful when giving kindness in charity, some people still used a set of allusions from Confucius to mislead readers. It is said that in ancient times, the State of Lu had a rule that any businessman from this country used money to redeem money in a foreign country. The Lu people who were slaves were able to get reimbursement from the government after returning to their country. One of Confucius' students also used money to redeem a slave but did not go to the government to collect the money. Confucius learned about it and criticized the student because if everyone knew about his deeds, , must be unwilling to do such a righteous act out of profit considerations, which prevented more slaves from the Lu country from returning to the country. On the contrary, a student did a good deed and was given a cow as a gift. He accepted it calmly and was praised by Confucius. Of course, the reason was the same. of.

In fact, Confucius is not a smart man, what he said is the actual situation, human nature is selfish, but he has such a "insight" into human nature, but he has forgotten what he himself said: "Man's original nature According to his theory, although many people do good things or not do good things out of selfish considerations, there are still a considerable number of people who do good deeds from the bottom of their hearts without considering selfish interests, and even There are people who do good deeds even in times of danger. If someone does good deeds without asking for anything in return, does that mean they will go the other way, with more and more people no longer doing good deeds? Obviously this is contradictory to my own theory! Let me ask, Confucius's profit-making of good people and good deeds means that he does not believe in people's self-consciousness of kindness. Since human nature is selfish, what effect does Confucius' blind emphasis on moral education have on purifying social atmosphere? I'm afraid this is just a trick to deceive honest people! In my opinion, for thousands of years, the ugliness of human nature in China has not improved under Confucian education. On the contrary, the more we learn, the worse it becomes. To treat both the symptoms and the root causes, it is better to design the driving force of all social systems into a lever for monetary interests. I would rather believe that The latter, this is the market economy capital operation system that has been used by the West hundreds of years ago and is still being used in our country today!

4. I said that good social systems shape people. In a democratic, fair and just society, it is difficult for people to do bad things. In an authoritarian, hegemonic and dark society, it is difficult for people to do bad things. Is it possible for everyone to start from me in order to purify the social atmosphere? Can it be done? Even if you do it for a while, how long can you maintain it? Undoubtedly, this is just Confucius' wishful thinking. Folk self-moral cultivation and charity are small acts of kindness compared with the government's democratic supervision and civil rights protection. In fact, Confucius ignores the cruelty of the ruling class and the existence of the great evil of despotism. He used his beautiful moral preaching to cultivate obedient dog slaves for emperors, generals and ministers. It is undisputed that he was the first principal of China's slave school. Of course, it is not true to say that Confucius's teachings are useless, but most of the theories that focus on people's livelihood are Confucian theory has not been deeply explored, but has been lightly distorted by later generations and the ruling class as hypocrisy and sophistry to decorate bloody rule. It can be said responsibly that the root cause of China's backwardness lies in the long-term dominance of Confucianism, which has narcotized the people. If we do not thoroughly denounce the poisonous and disguised fallacies of Confucius in modern times and in the future, the ideas of democracy, people's livelihood and civil rights will never prevail in China. The Confucian theory, which promotes feudal ethics and hierarchical concepts, has a great influence on the minds of the Chinese people. Temporary improvements are unlikely. Overcorrecting may be a bit extreme, but in order not to let such a "painted-skinned beauty" resurrect. , continue to poison the living beings, we can only defeat them completely! No choice! And while breaking it, we must also establish it. It is urgent for the cultural and ideological circles to vigorously promote the modern literary and artistic enlightenment movement.

Obviously, Confucius was a hypocrite, a sophist, and an official fanatic! His theories were all tools for him to seek fame and fortune from emperors and generals.

It is a pity that he will still be running around among the countries like a bereaved dog in his lifetime. How can a person who cannot even save himself save the people from dire straits? It is understandable that Confucianism, which lacks scientific spirit and democratic ideas, appeared thousands of years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when cultural thought was first enlightened. Today, 2000 years later, some of our experts, scholars, professors and educators ignore the early lofty ideals of modern people. Some conclusions go against the trend and revive Confucianism under the pretext of saving traditional culture. If they are not aware of current affairs, they will be laughed at by those who come after them! I hope you will give me some advice~!
