To state and create means to elaborate without creating.
It only elaborates on the achievements of predecessors and does not establish new meanings. "The Analects of Confucius·Shuer": "Relate without writing, believe in the ancient." Confucius only recited without creating. What he recited was the natural laws of heaven and earth, not the doctrines and ideas he created. Believing and loving the ancients means that he firmly believes in and loves the teachings handed down by the ancient saints who are older than him.
This is the work of the contemporary Confucian and Buddhist master Li Bingnan. The old layman Li Bingnan integrated his Buddhist learning and understanding into the Analects of Confucius, helping the world to re-understand Confucian classics, breaking away from the narrow understanding of the Master for more than two thousand years, and should be more consistent with the true nature of the Master.
As follows:
Confucius (September 28, 551 BC - April 11, 479 BC), whose surname was Kong, whose given name was Qiu, and whose courtesy name was Zhongni. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, he was a native of Zou Yi (now Qufu, Shandong Province) of the State of Lu, and his ancestral home was Li Yi (now Xiayi, Henan Province) of the Song State. He was an ancient Chinese thinker, educator, and founder of the Confucian school. He created a culture of private lectures and advocated benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and trustworthiness.
Confucius once led some of his disciples to travel around the world for thirteen years. In his later years, he revised the Six Classics, namely "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Music", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn". According to legend, Confucius once asked Laozi for advice and had three thousand disciples, including seventy-two sages. After Confucius's death, his disciples and his subsequent disciples recorded the words, deeds, quotes and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled them into the Confucian classic "The Analects of Confucius".
Confucius constructed a complete ideological system of "morality": advocating the virtues and virtues of "benevolence and propriety" at the individual level. The moral and moral ideological system is based on the theory of human nature and goodness ("one yin and one yang are called Tao, followed by goodness, and completed by nature"), with the purpose of establishing human poles ("the way of three poles"), and based on The way of humanity intersects with the way of heaven and earth, and the moderation of humanity turns into a complete ideological system of methodology in due course.
Confucius’ theory of benevolence embodies the spirit of humanity, while Confucius’ theory of etiquette embodies the spirit of etiquette, that is, order and system in the modern sense. Humanism is an eternal theme of mankind and is applicable to any society, any era, and any government. An orderly and institutional society is the basic requirement for the establishment of a human civilized society. Confucius’s spirit of humanism and order is the essence of ancient Chinese social and political thought.
