In history, some people say that Confucianism was destroyed by Zhu Xi. Why is there such a statement? Let's talk about it together.

Zhu Xi abused his mother, and there were some things he said, such as not eating good rice, not taking good care of his mother when she was ill, and so on. You know, in ancient times, not to mention being a master of Confucianism like Zhu Xi, even ordinary people would be accused if they didn't respect filial piety. Like Zhu Xi, he is the only person in history who is not a disciple of Confucius but enjoys worshipping the Confucius Temple. Twelve philosophers of Dacheng Hall? There is also this big man who has been worshipped by Confucianism all the year round, and his neo-Confucianism has also had a great influence on the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, which can be said to be the official philosophy of the Three Dynasties. The original intention of Confucius when he founded Confucianism was to punish evil and promote good, and to carry forward the main theme of benevolence, righteousness and morality. However, he was born at a different time. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all countries had to enrich Qiang Bing, so it was useless to do this. So he traveled around the world and wanted to promote his own? Benevolence? Thought, but repeatedly hit a wall, Panicked as a lost dog? .

what is an important core idea in Zhu Xi's theory? Save heaven and destroy human desires? In fact, it is to ask everyone to be a gentleman and abandon lust, greed and selfish desires except basic needs. In fact, we should be strict with ourselves. There is nothing wrong with this, and it can even be an idea used to educate people. What is wrong is that Zhu Xi himself violated this theory. At that time, Zhu Xi's political opponents impeached the emperor that he was a hypocrite and listed a series of charges. In the Western Han Dynasty, a man named Shu Suntong won the admiration of Liu Bang and began to talk about Confucianism. In fact, he was doing something? Resume the ceremony? A sense of ceremony, so as to satisfy Liu Bang's vanity. Later, in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to maintain the thought of feudal unification, Emperor Wu adopted Dong Zhongshu's opinion? To oust a hundred schools of Confucianism? Let Confucianism become the only true correct and bright thought.

Could such a person be an unfilial son who abused my mother? There is a view that great history can't take you back, so there is no way to verify it, but we can try to figure it out from a story it left behind. After Zhu Xi's mother died, Zhu Xi built a seat? Cold spring house? , guarding the mother's grave for seven years! Boy, from the perspective of modern people, I'm afraid Zhu Xi doesn't have other plans, such as fame and official positions. The reason why political opponents want to impeach Zhu Xi is because Zhu Xi used to be the emperor's teacher and had a high position. Moreover, Zhu Xi also thinks highly of himself. He not only often teaches the emperor, but also always impeaches other officials. That's great, the emperor is unhappy, and other dignitaries are also very dissatisfied with him. So at that time, someone wanted to impeach Zhu Xi, and the emperor supported it. Some people suspect that Zhu Xi admitted the crime of impeachment by others just to win leniency.

However, no matter how good a person's learning is, it is not the reason why he becomes a scum. Just like Guo Moruo in modern times, he is a great genius and a great calligrapher. However, that fellow is really bad in character and plays with countless young women. Among them, there are a pair of sisters, one of whom died because of his madness, and the other hanged himself after seeing his true colors. It was at that time that there was a lot of filial piety. You kept it for five years, I kept it for ten years, I wanted to surpass you, and I kept it for fifteen years. Unfortunately, many people died of old age before they became officials. However, when Cao Wei carried out the Nine Grades Zhengzhi system, this trend was greatly reduced, not to mention that the Song Dynasty had developed into the imperial examination system. So, perhaps Zhu Xi's seven-year filial piety is really out of filial piety? Compared with Guo Moruo, Zhu Xi, the deity, is not too generous. He advocates it himself? Filial piety raises parents, but in fact he is too lazy to say a word to his mother, he advocates? Save heaven and destroy human desires? But in fact, he let two beautiful nuns travel with him, got drunk on the road and made a fool of themselves. Later, he openly took it as his concubine. In order to take possession of his brother's property, he mobilized his sister-in-law to remarry?
