Yi Zhongtian went on CCTV again, and again on the forum of hundreds of schools of thought. This time he no longer talked about the Three Kingdoms, but talked about the hundreds of schools of thought. The Three Kingdoms itself can be used as storytelling. You can talk about all kinds of legends, various speculations, and various opinions. Anyway, no one will think that what you are talking about is official history. It is storytelling anyway, so just listen to it. However, this time I was talking about "The Hundred Schools of Thoughts", and I couldn't help but prick up my ears to hear what Yi Zhongtian could say - however, the introduction to the content surprised me. Yi Zhongtian said that the Confucian prescription is " "Benevolence and love", Mohism's prescription is "universal love", and Legalism's prescription is "a knife"... As we all know, Confucianism advocates "rituals and music" and "benevolence and righteousness", and advocates "loyalty and forgiveness" and the impartial "gold mean". Tao advocates "Government by Virtue" and "Government by Benevolence" - therefore, "Benevolence" is only one part of "Benevolence" among the six arts advocated by Confucianism. How can something that is less than 1/6 represent Confucianism? Yi Zhongtian mentioned "benevolence" over and over again, which means that "benevolent government" is not such an important idea. Doesn't Yi Zhongtian know Mencius's famous saying "A harsh government is fiercer than a tiger"? It was precisely because the Confucian scholars believed in this idea that they talked too much about "benevolent politics" to the "tyrant" Qin Shihuang and angered him, which led to the "burning of books and entrapment of Confucians". Didn't Yi Zhongtian know this? This incident had a great impact on Confucianism, so Confucian scholars no longer focused on "benevolent government", but focused on "rituals and music". This is the stuff of monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons. We know that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was very common for the emperor and ministers to sit on the floor. There was no set of etiquette between monarchs and ministers. These were all things set up by Confucianism to please the emperor. Because of this, Confucianism has always been valued by emperors, and it still has a profound influence on the Chinese people until now. The Chinese people subconsciously believe that there is a distinction between officials and common people! In addition, Confucianism's "conquering people with virtue" and "the golden mean" have a profound influence on China. Yi Zhongtian actually didn't mention a word about it. Is that what a professor thinks of Confucianism? Let’s talk about the Mohist school. Yi Zhongtian said that the Mohist school “loves all”, but Yi Zhongtian did not say that the important political propositions of the Mohist school are “unity”. We know that after Qin Shihuang unified the country, “One (unification) law weighs a stone and a foot, a chariot tracks the same track, and a book Same text. "Excuse me, whose thought is this? It is the thought of Mohism. The unification of the world is the thought of Mohist. ——Chinese people advocate unity because of the influence of Mohist thought. Yi Zhongtian did not mention such important content. He only knew that Mohism advocated "universal love". In addition, the important teachings of Mohism also include "non-fate", which means that a person must rely on his own efforts to achieve success, rather than accepting fate. It can be said that the idea of ??self-reliance is very important for stabilizing a society. If we look at Western societies, they protest at every turn, complain about society and the system... But China has learned a deep level of tolerance. As for Legalism, Yi Zhongtian said that it was a knife for killing people. In fact, the early ideas of Legalism were to emphasize agriculture over commerce, reward farming and war, and rule with severe punishments and laws, not just for killing people. Yi Zhongtian said that legalists serve the monarch alone, but Yi Zhongtian should not forget Shang Yang's famous saying, "Princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people." This Legalist proposition has not been realized in China even now. It can be said that China has been exploring the rule of law society since 2000, but Yi Zhongtian did not mention it. Recently, I keep seeing people wanting to abolish Confucianism and X-ology. I really don’t know if these people have read these books. It is probably advocated to be abolished, so I will definitely not read it. There is no need to accuse Confucianism, so those who criticize Confucianism will definitely focus on its shortcomings and criticize it until it is criticized. I think CCTV should have had good intentions when inviting people to talk about Zhuzi Bai Jia. It was to promote Chinese culture and to let some ignorant people learn something. However, it invited the wrong person, a reviewer like Yi Zhongtian. Speaking of hundreds of schools of thought, they are certainly not at a high level (mainly because the research time is not long enough). Maybe in this commodity economy society, none of the current university professors are willing to study the various schools of thought. Is it really true? ……
