The Jade Emperor Told Me to Live-stream! Chapter 570: Culture and Country

Actually, not only I, but also other disciples including Yan Hui can see that Zhou's royal family is in decline, which is totally embarrassing.

However, Confucius still wanted to return to the royal family. He just wanted the convenience of establishing Confucianism and spreading Confucianism. This made these disciples very puzzled.

And Confucius patiently said to his disciples: "You think that the national territory is very important. I am on the contrary. I think you can regain the territory, and the human heart will be difficult to regain once it is lost. Once culture is established, it will last a lifetime. It’s hard to change. What we have to do is to implant culture into the hearts of the people."

Looking at the ignorance of the disciples, Confucius continued to explain: "In this troubled world, people’s hearts are easy to lose and territories change more often, and just like the words everyone knows, it’s hard to stop after you know this word. Once we know it, the culture is the same. As long as they accept our Confucian culture, no matter how far apart we are, in the end when we raise our arms, we will naturally respond."

Zigong was born as a businessman and he valued the input-output ratio. He cautiously asked: "Sir, I can understand the importance of this culture, but this process will be a long process, and war and power are The things in front of us, if we don’t even have this territory, then what is the point of talking about culture? Will the gains outweigh the losses?"

Confucius affirmatively said: "It depends on how to promote this matter? This is also the reason why I want to return to the Zhou royal family. To promote a doctrine, name and strength are equally important. If we are to forcefully promote Confucianism, after all People are alone and lonely, and with the banner of the royal family, we can promote our doctrines justifiably, and with the strength of our Lu State as a backing, we can guarantee the promotion of our doctrines."

Confucius glanced at the many disciples and said: "We will face various challenges in the future. From now on, it will be time for you to exert your strength. You need to do your best to carry forward Confucianism and spread Confucianism to the whole Nanfangbuzhou, and even the entire Xuanhuang world! At that time everyone will enjoy the position of sage."

Confucius (Hanzhen) has many lifetimes of experience, and his predecessor is the existence of Emperor Vast Sky. It is relatively easy to convince these disciples.

After Confucius gave some preaching, all the disciples were very excited, all gearing up, all wanting to show their skills in this process and enjoy the position of sage.

In fact, what Confucius said did not have any problems, but pointed to the nature of the problem.

There is a saying in later generations that if you want to destroy its country, you must destroy its history, that is, its culture. This is very reasonable.

And Confucius’s approach is just the opposite, first correcting the history, establishing a culture, and then looking for a nation.

From then on, the starting point of all Confucian practices became to promote Confucianism, regardless of the size of the territory.

Of course, if there are more territories, Lu will not mind expanding its own power.

At this time, there is a royal family outside Shandong as a helping hand, and the doctrine of Confucianism is supported inside, and the strength is getting stronger.

In the name of the royal family, the Lu State successively forcibly promoted Confucianism in neighboring kingdoms, and gradually included the other Ju, Tan, and Xu states in addition to Qi State and Song State into its own cultural circle.

Only Qi is more difficult, but Confucianism is also spreading.

Some Confucian disciples have already entered the Qi country, preaching and teaching karma to solve puzzles.

Confucianism itself teaches the way of benevolence and righteousness, which seems to be out of place in this chaotic world, but in fact the opposite is true.

For a long time in war, people will have a special desire for peace; when morality is lacking for a long time, people will pay special attention to benevolence and justice.

Confucius’ Confucian school advocates to appreciate the people’s sentiments, cherish the people’s strength, "governance with virtue", "savings and love others", so that the people "sufficient", the country "sufficient soldiers" and gain "people trust."

Confucius opposes harsh government and arbitrary torture, but attaches importance to moral education, especially personal training, emphasizing caring for others, and restraining one's behavior with social norms.

At this time, Confucianism was like a clear stream. It was the best medicine for the chaotic society at that time. It was able to grasp the hearts of the people and gradually spread among the people.

However, at the time when Confucius was vigorously spreading Confucianism, other theories sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they spread widely in one country or several countries, and a real "contending of a hundred schools of thought" appeared in the entire Nanfang Island.

Near the State of Lu is the Mohist family of the Song Dynasty, the founder of Mo Di. This school advocates "loving each other and benefiting each other", advocating valor, advocating the same, and non-attack; economically, it advocates the use of the original; ideological Put forward respect for heaven and ghost; put forward the proposition of "non-fate", emphasizing to rely on one's own power to do it.

In the nearby country of Qi, the Yin-Yang family is popular, and the representative is Zou Yan, who advocates the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and uses it to explain social and personnel affairs. Yin and Yang are the two opposing and transforming powers of things themselves, which can be used to illustrate the law of development and change of things. The Five Elements Theory believes that everything is composed of five elements: wood, fire, earth, gold, and water. There are two laws of mutual growth and mutual victory (葜), which can be used to explain the origin and change of everything in the universe.

While the power of the Western power Qin State is popular in the legalist ideology, the representative figures are Guan Zhong, Shang Yang, Han Fei, etc., who advocate the rule of law, "not to be close to each other, not to distinguish the noble and inferior, but to be judged by the law." "Law", "Position" and "Skills", economically advocates the abolition of mine fields, emphasizes agriculture and business, and rewards farming wars; politically advocates the abolition of feudalization, the establishment of counties, an autocratic monarchy, and the use of tactics ~ IndoMTL.com ~ with severe punishment Governance; in terms of ideology and education, he advocates the prohibition of the doctrines of the philosophers, the law as the teaching, and the officials as the teacher.

On the other hand, Zhao Guo has two theories contending. One is represented by the famous Gongsun Long, who put forward propositions such as "White Horse is not a Horse" and "Jian Baishi Er", advocating the study of fiction and reality.

The other theory of Zhao Guo is the political strategist, the representative Su Qin, who is known for his debate, and proposed the idea of ​​forming a coalition to fight against a powerful enemy.

There are also two theories in the Chu State near Lu State. One is the well-known Taoism of later generations. The representative figure Lao Tzu advocates the natural way of Taoism, let it be natural, advocate quietness and inaction, keep the female and the soft, and use the soft to overcome the strong. The political ideal is "rule by doing nothing." Inaction refers to not acting rashly, not doing anything wrong, and doing whatever you want. In fact, it advocates order.

Another doctrine is the peasant family. The representative is Xu Xing, who advocates "sages and the people to cultivate and eat together, and to govern by food". He opposes getting something for nothing and opposing businessmen.

Wu is the doctrine of military strategists, represented by Sun Wu, who opposes empty talk about benevolence and righteousness. He puts forward the proposition of "victory and strong, so the world will subdue", and advocates "preparation and action."

In the remote realm, there have been Buddhist schools that advocate the cause and effect of good and evil, the pure land of bliss, and the equality of all beings. As mentioned above, their representatives include Taoist Taoist, Gautama, Taobao Taoist and others.

In addition, various genres such as miscellaneous family and family have also appeared in some other countries in Nanfangzhou.

At this time, in Nanfangbuzhou, various theories are constantly evolving, arguing with each other, and competing for the right to speak and living space.

In the most central area of ​​Nanfangbuzhou, the most famous are these 9 doctrines besides Buddhism. They are in the Lu, Qi, Song, Qin, Zhao, Chu, Wu Seven countries of China gained a firm foothold, which eventually led to national wars and cultural struggles.
