Chapter 3 On the Society (November 5, 1896)

There is no one who is good at group, and there is no one who is not good at independence.Solitude makes you blocked, blocked makes you stupid, and stupid makes you weak; group makes you connected, connected makes you wise, and wise makes you strong.The stars and the earth attract each other to form the world, and the particles tangent to form a body.A few people make a family, thousands of people make a clan, hundreds of millions of people make a country, and a million people make a world.There is no crowd, it is said that widows and widows are lonely, and they are people who do not tell.Tigers, leopards, and lions are like camels, oxen, and horses. They are huge and huge, and they can be driven by people, but they cannot be grouped together.The black people in Africa, the brown people in India, and the red people in America, Southeast Asia, and Australia Island occupy sixteen or seventeenth of the earth's land. The Europeans cut it open, like a olive lion riding a camel and a horse, and they say that they can't do it. Because of the group.

The way of the group, the group's form and quality are the bottom, and the group's mind is the top.A swarm of swarms is a swarm of locusts, mosquitoes, bees and ants, a swarm of inhumane swarms, and if the swarm is endless, it will kill the world, and the death will be ruled by a swarm of mentally minded people.The Mongols, the Hui races, all ran amok on the earth with all their strength, and they inevitably followed the Germanic descendants, the swarms of locusts, mosquitoes, bees and ants, and the inhumane swarms.The matter of group minds is trivial.Europeans know it, and there are three people who practice it: the national group is called the House, the business group is called the company, and the scholar group is called the academy.As for the House of Representatives and the company, their knowledge and skills cannot help but be learned; therefore, those who learn are the mother of the two.The school inspires the upper, and the learning succeeds the lower. The people of Europe have been magnanimous in the world for a hundred years.

Learning started in the West?Said: No, it is also a law that has been established in China for two thousand years. "Yi" said: "A gentleman teaches with friends." It said: "A friend comes from afar." It also said: "A gentleman makes friends with literature." It also said: "Hundreds of craftsmen live in places to accomplish their work, and a gentleman lives in learning to achieve his way. "Confucius raised three thousand disciples, Mencius had hundreds of disciples, Zi Xia Xihe, Zeng Zi Wucheng, Xun Qing sacrificed wine in Chu and Song, Shigong gave lectures in Qi and Lu, Lou's second son recorded nine thousand, Xu Zun There are more than ten thousand lectures in the Ming Dynasty, the grand collections of Ehu and Ludong, the grand sights of Donglin, Ji and Fu, and the former model of Fanzi are the evidence.The reason why the way of the sages are not endless, and the Chinese species are not barbaric, is because of learning!Where did the death of the academy come from?Said: Ji Yun is the chief of the crimes of the sinologists in the country.The words of sinologists say: people today should write books, not lectures.Ji Yunzhi said: "The Han Dynasty died in the party, the Song Dynasty died in the false school, and the Ming Dynasty died in the Donglin." Woohoo, what do you say?The reason why these ten permanent attendants favored Li Ying and Fan Pang, why Cai Jing and Han Haozhou imprisoned Sima Gong and Zhu Zi, and why Wei Zhongxian and Ruan Dacheng fell into Gu, Gao, Chen, and Xia, is for this reason.I don't know why Ji Yun, a villain who has no scruples, is so evil to Li and Fan Zhuxian that he is willing to be the slave of Shi Changshi, Cai Jing, Han Haozhou, Wei Zhongxian, and Ruan Dacheng.As for the scholars in the world who have dropped out of school, they are like those of Yanzong, who bowed their heads and became slaves of slaves.Therefore, Jin Ren has parties, but gentlemen have no parties; bandits have associations, but righteous people have no associations.It is to lead villains to eat the flesh of gentlemen, drive the people of the world into widows, widows, widows, widows, widows and lonely, and become like camels, cows and horses, and they have been inferior to bees, locusts, mosquitoes and ants, and then they are called good people.Woo hoo, doesn't it hurt, doesn't it hurt!

Things are changing urgently today.Those who have reached the current situation must say that they will develop mines, build railways, organize commerce, and train the navy.Now let me ask: Is it possible for those who study the textual research of the eight-legged eight-character rhyme and the poems to belong to all kinds of things?Then he said: there are students from the Tongwen Museum and the Naval Academy.Now, regardless of whether the achievements of the students are learned or not, let me ask: Is it enough for the reform of the eighteen provinces of the world to use the mere students?There is a shortage of talented people, and a hundred tools are useless. This is why China has been pursuing new laws for 30 years without achieving anything.Today's sea is huge, with a population of 400 million people, and its heroes are intelligent and capable enough to pass through all the scholars.However, these scholars could not have obtained it through textual research on Ci and chapters.If you are interested in mining, you must travel to various provinces to inspect the quality of the minerals, seek out the ways of mining, subdividing, and smelting in various countries, buy a large number of their machinery and instruments and test them, buy all their mining books and translate them, and collect all the minerals of Chen Wanguo. And compare it.To train the army, you must collect the books on the art of war of all countries and read them, and collect the methods of making guns and ammunition, and building camps and ships from all countries to learn them.To learn these methods, you must not learn them by hand. You must travel to other countries, watch their performances, visit various factories, observe their manufacture, and learn how to use them.From the rest of the group, the rates are all the same.Therefore, without an observatory worth 370,000 gold, and a telescope worth 350,000 gold, astronomy must be incomplete; if you cannot travel around the earth, you will travel, but you cannot go all over the country. Geoscience must not be refined.Let me ask: Is it possible for one person to do it?Therefore, although there are one or two people with lofty ideals, they can't complete their studies, they can't apply them, and they will be discarded and passed away.

The Bixi people are learning, and once they learn, they will have a while.Therefore, there is the Society of Agriculture, the Society of Mining, the Society of Commerce, the Society of Engineering, the Society of Law, the Society of Heaven, the Society of Earth, the Society of Computing, the Society of Chemistry, the Society of Electricity, the Society of Acoustics, the Society of Light, and the Society of Weight There is a society of mechanics, a society of water, a society of thermal energy, a society of medicine, a society of animals and plants, a society of academic affairs, and even the trivialities of photography, painting, and bathhouses.The people who joined the association ranged from concubines, princes, and commoners down to Yiming commoners. Some of the congregations had millions of people, and some of the members had gathered millions of gold.In the meeting, there are books for reading, instruments for experimentation, newspapers for dissemination of new arts, and teachers and friends for teaching doubts. Therefore, there is no failure in learning, and every technique is perfect. New methods emerge every day. In the past, people used them. Talents are becoming more and more numerous. , use energy to prosper and strengthen the five continents, and culture and governance to the three ancient times.

Today, five Indians are tens of thousands of miles away. In fifty years, they were suddenly returned to the British; the battle of Guangzhou, the cession of Hong Kong, and the opening of the port, made such a sensational move that the world was shocked.Since the beginning of trade, Westerners have received diplomas, traveled to the surrounding provinces, surveyed and mapped maps, and tested minerals and minerals. People in China have suspected spies, but they have no skills to stop them. and also.Therefore, the countries of the Western Kingdom respect and protect the various associations, and reward and borrow them, or the monarch visits in person to emphasize the task, or allocates funds and subsidies to help it succeed.There is a reason for the prosperity of the society and the advancement of learning.

Today, if we want to revitalize China, we need talents;If the branch associations cannot be established immediately, a general assembly will be established first.The day of the meeting: first, to present the interests of the society, and to focus on the news, so as to calm the hearts of the people; Thick material resources; the fourth is a letter to invite comrades from home and abroad, and a salty order to join the association, so as to attract talents; The seventh is to consult and collect official bureaus and group books, and to collect all the records for storage; the eighth is to buy all the translated Western books and collect them in the public society for borrowing and reading.The ninth is to choose and purchase Western books, sort them into categories, and use them for translation; the tenth is to extensively search the newspapers of the earth, and spread them around the provinces, so as to gain new eyes and ears; It is said to open a museum for all kinds of instruments to help experiments; the thirteenth is to compile useful books, print them widely and sell them cheaply, to inspire the atmosphere; Select intelligent children and open schools to educate talents; on the 16th, the public will send students to become friends, travel both at home and abroad, and write books with capital.

The whole country is huge, but there is only one academy, which is like the labor of one mosquito and one horsefly.Today, among the 400 million people, those who worry about the world and seek self-improvement have no land and no one, so it is advisable to set up branch offices wherever they are.There is a provincial meeting in every province, there is a meeting in every prefecture and county, and there is a meeting in every township. Even if there are dozens of guests and hundreds of money, there is no harm in making it a meeting. .Accumulate small and tall, expand and fill, there is no one in the world who cannot learn.

If you follow this, you will gather heroes in one year, prepare for your studies in three years, and become popular in nine years.If you want to promote agriculture, you cannot use the talents of the agricultural society; if you want to develop mining profits, you cannot use the talents of the mining society; if you want to develop crafts, you cannot use the talents of the crafts; If you want to make use of talents, you must use the talents you have learned in the law, and you will not be able to use the talents you learned in the law; , the talents learned in astronomy, arithmetic, sound, light, chemistry, electricity, etc. are invincible.To revenge shame with revenge, why not shame!In order to repair common government, what government can't succeed!If you follow Ji Yun's slanderous words, lead the old habit of fearing the leader, violate the axiom of the music group, and be willing to not tell the bad name, then the mistakes of Africa, India, and Turks will continue in the world.Do Westerners have love?A piece of wood and a pillar have nothing to fortify against the cross current; Peiyu Mingju is not to be rescued from emergencies. "Poetry" said: "When the sky is not cloudy and rainy, I will penetrate the mulberry soil and take care of the households. Now the people here, dare to insult me?" Woohoo!For all the gentlemen, there is no wind and rain to sway, it is Shi Xiaoyin who speaks, and there is no way to save him.
