Chapter 6 interpersonal problems

Liang: ...That is to say, the natural sciences and industries still need to progress, but the problem of people versus things is no longer the first problem, it is relegated to the second problem.The first question is how to live in peace and coexistence between people. This is the future. Things in the future should be like this. This is the "Chinese culture", and this is Chinese culture.Chinese culture originally originated from the family. The old saying is filial piety, or filial piety, or the four words, what are the four words?It is "filial piety and kindness". "Filial piety, brotherhood, kindness", there is another word called "harmony" - "harmony" means peace, harmony, and harmony, the four words "filial piety, compassion and harmony".I see it this way, I think it this way, in socialism, I am afraid that everyone should pay attention to filial piety, brotherhood, kindness, respect for the elderly, care for the young, reconciliation between brothers, and improve the relationship between people. problems in future socialism.Naturally, human beings still have problems with nature, but they are relegated to the second place.This is what I call the "Chinese Cultural Renaissance".

Then I have to say a little more, that is, after the revival of Chinese culture, there will be a revival of Indian culture.The revival of Chinese culture, let me imagine it this way, let me put it bluntly, it will take a long time, I am afraid it will be a long time, I am afraid... Human beings will be in this kind of air, in this custom, and customs, it may be a long time.After a long time, it will still change, it will not always be the same, it will change, it will change, and the change, in my opinion, is the revival of ancient Indian culture.So what is the ancient Indian culture?What's it like?Just now I accidentally said that in ancient India, apart from being obedient to the world, it affirmed life. That faction had very little influence. The vast ancient Indian society all denied life, saying that life has no value, and it even said that life is delusional—— Delusion is confusion, arrogance is arrogance, and life is in delusion.These are the general ethos of ancient India. In addition to following the world and heretics, there are many sects in India, and Buddhism is still a newcomer. Buddhism is not the earliest in India.Buddhism denies human life is the best.So my guess is that in the distant future of mankind, this kind of atmosphere in ancient India will come.People feel that their own life and living are of little value... and they have to be liberated and liberated according to the meaning of Buddhism.Humans are always seeking liberation, and this is the final liberation.This is my speculation, my logic (laughs).

Ai: In fact, your conjecture is almost the same as that expressed in the book "Eastern and Eastern Cultures and Their Philosophy".I am still convinced that your statement is correct, and it should be logical to launch future development.However, I still have another thought. I think the process of modernization, or the process of intellectualization, is in conflict with "the reason why people are human", that is, whether it is "human" in Indian culture or Chinese culture. contradictory.Do you think the Four Modernizations plan will do any harm to Chinese culture?

Liang: China lives in the current world, it cannot go against the trend, it can only move forward, and develop material civilization, which is necessary.But the important thing is that the material civilization of the West in the past was developed by capitalism. Since the powerful forces of the West came to China, there is no room for China to take the road of capitalism. It is impossible to take the road of capitalism, so it has to Take the road of socialism.It can only be done in the pursuit of social welfare, and with personal welfare, it is impossible for personal welfare to overwhelm social welfare.Therefore, the emergence and success of the Communist Party in China is very reasonable, not special or surprising.

Ai: What do you think Western society should learn from the East, especially China? Liang: This has been said just now. Ai: In the future, Western culture and Western society will still evolve into China. Considering the current historical stage, what should Western society learn from the East and China? Liang: What do you study?I answer this question.A person is born with someone related to him, at least he must have parents, or brothers, and when he grows up, he will have friends, teachers, and so on in society. This is called human relations, called ethics. ; People always have to live in relationship with others, people can't live without people, people can't live without people.So how to improve the relationship between people is an important issue. This is called ethics and human relations, and the ancient Chinese saying is called human relations.

The characteristic of Chinese culture is in this place. The characteristic of Chinese culture is that it attaches importance to the relationship between people. It extends the family relationship to outside the family. It always applies the closeness of the family to the society, as if it brings people who are far away together, and brings people from the outside into it. This is the characteristic of China and the essence of Chinese culture. feature.In a word, this feature is the opposite of the "personal standard, self-centered".Contrary to "personal standard, self-centered", what does it look like?It is mutual respect for each other, and mutual respect for each other.

For example, Chinese people always talk about filial piety from Confucius and ancient books. What is filial piety?It means that sons, or younger generations, respect and obey their parents and elders. This is called filial piety.Isn't there still a filial piety?What is compassion? "Compassion" means that the parents love their children, love the younger generation.In a word, in a word, it is "mutually value each other", I value you, and you value me.For example, when a guest comes, the host puts the guest first, thinks about everything for the guest, gives the guest a good seat, pours tea for the guest; when a good guest turns around, he respects the host again, Everything is conceived for the master.So Chinese social etiquette, just mentioned comity, what is comity? (Laughs) "Let" means to value others, and "Li" means to respect others.Confucianism in China has always called people comity, and this comity is what I just said. In the future, capitalism will pass, and socialism will come. I am afraid that the atmosphere of comity will come. Everyone lives together and respects each other. necessary.So I say that the future of the world is the revival of Chinese culture.Let me say one more sentence, and to conclude, I am optimistic. I think that Marxism is very good, and it is better than that utopian socialism.

Ai: The fantasy is France... Liang: Owen, Owen and Fourier from England, there are three of them. Ai: Yes, yes.There were many in the past, quite a few in the nineteenth century, anyway I know you... Liang: Utopian socialism, they have a very good heart, but they didn't think that, without a clear understanding of social development and historical development, it would naturally come to that point, and socialism would naturally come.The reason why Marxism is called scientific socialism is that it believes that objective development must go there. Ai: Chinese culture has a long history and lasts for a long time. Compared with the short-lived cultures in the West or the Middle East, Chinese culture has a long history. What characteristics form this?Why?That is to say, what is the main reason for the long history of Chinese culture? (Liang: It has a long history.) It is much longer than any other culture in the world. What is the main reason?

Liang: There was once a gentleman who discussed and answered this question. There was one gentleman, or two people. Two people answered it.One gentleman may still be alive, and one gentleman has passed away.The person who passed away was studying biology in Europe, and his name was Zhou Taixuan.There is another one who may still be there, he is older than me, he should be 90 years old, or more than 90 years old, this one is also studying in France, studying in Europe, called Xu Bingchang.
