Chapter 24 On Private Virtue (excerpt) (October 4, November 2, 1903)

Since I wrote "Xin Min Shuo" last year, there are no less than dozens of items in my heart that I want to publish, and I started with "Public Morality".To talk about virtue without citing its publicity is not to say that private virtue is acceptable.Those who call a husband's private virtue should have been understood and practiced to the best of their ability for a long time, and the words of the sages and sages have been fully understood, and there is no need to wait for the scribbles of the late learners.But in recent years, the whole country has been clamoring and rampant, and the so-called business of benefiting the country and advancing the group has not been seen one or two times, but the trend is late, and the obtuse people will use their mouths to say that the thief of the new ideal is poisoning the world.Hey, I can be speechless again!As "On Private Morality".

The relationship between private morality and public morality Private morality and public morality are not terms of treatment, but terms of belonging.Spencer said: "Every group is the accumulation of one, so the virtue of the group is determined from the virtue of one. The group is called Tuodu, and the one is called Moni. The nature of Tuodu The system, what is hidden, what is not there at the beginning of what is not, cannot come into existence from the extension of the capital, and what is the same as what is the same, cannot be suddenly destroyed by expanding the capital.” Translate "Qunxue Siyan". It is said that those who expand the capital are also called groups in the Eastern translation; those who say that they are hidden are also called individuals in the Eastern translation.) Forgive me, the so-called public morality of the husband is based on its own body , it refers to the public virtue of the people in a group; in terms of its function of constituting the noumenon, it refers to the virtue of an individual to the public concept of the group.Husbands gathering together the blind cannot make a lilou, gathering the deaf can't make a teacher, gathering a group of cowards can't make a black harvest, so a private person who doesn't have the virtue of private ownership, and hundreds of billions of private people can't make a public. The virtue of virtue is easy to understand.The blind cannot be blinded by seeing in public, the deaf cannot be blinded by hearing in public, and the cowardly cannot be braved by fighting in public. Therefore, I do not believe in myself, but want to be trusted in others. One person is for one person. There is no point in trying to be loyal to the group if you are not loyal in negotiations, and the reason for this is very easy to understand.If today's scholars talk about public morality every day, but the effectiveness of public morality cannot be seen, they also say that the private morality of the people has serious shortcomings.Therefore, if you want to build a nation, you must take cultivating your personal morality as the first righteousness; if you want to engage in the casting of a nation, you must cultivate your own personal morality as your first righteousness.

Moreover, there is a boundary line between public morality and private morality, and the division is a foreign thing!The origin of virtue is the negotiation between people. (As "Rominson Crusoe" said, there is no virtue or immorality in being alone and independent on a desert island.) As for the negotiation of the minority, it is the same as the negotiation of the majority, and it is the same as the negotiation of the private person. Although the object of public negotiation is different, the subject is the same.Therefore, regardless of the so-called morality of the East and the West, it is said that they praise the public welfare of public security;Public cloud and private cloud are just a false term, which is thought to be the method of experience and practice.In a general sense, there is only one virtue, and there is no public or private; in terms of analysis, there are private virtues that are mellow, but public virtues are still incomplete, and there is absolutely no selfish virtue that is dirty, and public morals can be attacked.Mencius said: "There is no other reason why people in ancient times were greater than others. They are just good at pushing what they do."Knowing private morality but not knowing public morality, what is lacking is only a push; scorning private morality while misrepresenting public morality is not because of the reason why it exists but does not exist.Therefore, to cultivate private morality, it is too late to think about moral education.

The reasons for the degeneration of private morality The depravity of private morality has reached the extreme in today's China.The reasons for this are very complicated and cannot be exhaustive. When inferring the greater ones, there are five ends: (1) Due to the pottery of the autocratic regime.Montesquieu said: "In any autocratic country, there may be wise masters occasionally, but it is very rare for the subjects to be virtuous. Try to collect all history, it is a country of monarchs, and those who claim to be ministers and close ministers are more likely to be mediocre and despicable. Jealousy of insidious people, this is the same thing in ancient and modern times. The only thing that is uneasy is that those who are above are often unrighteous, while those who are below are honest and upright. The general benefits are cheated by the officials. Therefore, in a country of autocracy, no matter whether you are high or low, everyone meets by deceit and chance, and there are people who are forced to do so. If it is under an autocratic regime, it is useless. Virtue and righteousness are clear and clear." Since husbands compete with the rules of natural selection, only the fittest can survive.Our nation has lived under the atmosphere of autocracy for thousands of years. If it wants to make progress, it must use deceit; if it wants to be self-sufficient, it must be humble.Those who are most rich in these two qualities are those who occupy the most advantageous position in society; while those who are slightly lacking in them will perish with inferiority, and can no longer pass on their seeds to their descendants.That's why innate inheritance is entrenched in society, and because of its public nature, the seeds are smeared together, and it grows day by day. Although there are heroes, it is difficult to extricate themselves.The only thing that is disturbing is that those who wander under the dictatorship and want to be favored and self-satisfied all over their bodies needless to say, even if there are one or two knowledgeable and enthusiastic people who want to plead for the lives of the living people, they may have to use secrets from time to time. The way, sometimes has to be extreme.If you are a man who is sincere and sincere, you don’t need to become obsessed because of it, but if you practice it, you will have a lot of virtue.If the roots are a little weak, they will not follow the flow and sink.The husband's so-called knowledgeable and enthusiastic people who want to plead for the lives of the living people are not rare in a country!In a free country, great statesmen, great educators, and great philanthropists will use pure virtues and gentle means to benefit their fellows.Now it is forced to go out of this way, because it is the eighteen or nineteen who have fallen.Hee, it's not enough to blame others!

(2) Due to the destruction of the overlords in modern times.This is the case for the husband who has inherited thousands of years of inheritance, and during these thousands of years, there will be small ups and downs from time to time, so the emperor presides over it and controls it, which is the most powerful.Xi Zhe said: "In an autocratic country, the monarch is omnipotent." It is not false.In Gu Tinglin's discussion of world style, he said that the Eastern Han Dynasty was the most beautiful, followed by the Yan and Song Dynasties, and he attributed it to Guangwu, Ming, Zhang, Yi Zu, Zhen, and Ren. (Volume 13 says: "After the Six Classics of Xiaowu Biaozhang in the Han Dynasty, although the teachers and Confucianism were prosperous, the righteousness was not clear, so Xinmang lived in the house, and those who praised virtue and offered talismans were all over the world. In view of this, Guangwu respected integrity and righteousness, dun Strictly named and true, the ones who are used are the people who practiced the scriptures, and the customs have changed. At the end of the year, the government is in chaos, the state affairs are changing day by day, and the people who are in the party, the people who walk alone, rely on benevolence and righteousness, and give up their lives. The wind and rain are like darkness, and the chickens are endless. Under three generations, the beauty of customs is unmatched in Tokyo." You said: ""Song History" talks about the loyalty of scholar-bureaucrats, and the five seasons have completely changed. The first art ancestor praised Han Tong, The second table is Wei Rong, to show the direction. In the world of truth and benevolence, Tian Xi and Wang Yu called Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu all sages to speak bluntly. The theory of dissent was advocated in the court, so Chinese and foreign recommended gentry know that fame is the highest, and integrity and shame are respected , to get rid of the ugliness of the five seasons. Therefore, in the change of Jingkang, scholars threw their sleeves into their sleeves and worked hard for the king. It can be changed into Tokyo, and the Five Dynasties can be changed into Song Dynasty, so we know that there are no unchangeable customs in the world. "Although this statement is about the general cause of the corruption of the people's morals, it may have something to say, but it has to be regarded as one of the important relationships. Try to examine the differences in customs over the past three thousand years. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were still people left behind by the ancient kings. Since the Warring States period, they were involved in the Qin Dynasty to catch the Western Han Dynasty. Those who changed the customs and customs suddenly, the trend of centralization and dictatorship. The wind of qi. In the early Han Dynasty, the powerful and strong were suppressed, and the Zhu family and Guo Xie were gradually laughed at by the customs of the times. Therefore, in the new and reckless era, people who offer talismans and eunuchs are all over the world, so the spread of Gao, Hui, Wen, and Jing Its species also. As soon as it entered the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was discussed by Tinglin, and the reason is clear. And Wei Wu has Jizhou, and he rewards the people who are galloping, so the power and fraud are repeated, and the traitors are born. (Jian'an Gan 2 In August of the year, the order was issued: seek to bear the name of humiliation, act of laughing, unkind and unfilial, but have the art of governing the country and using soldiers.) Guangwu, Ming, and Zhang Zhize were wiped out, and the situation was getting worse every time, until the five seasons were extreme, The prostitution of folk customs in the millennium was also caused by the monarch’s promiscuity to promote its waves. And Song Naiyi entered. The ancestors of art used the checkpoints as the emperor, and used autocratic power to defeat their reputation and integrity. (The system of monarchs and ministers sitting and discussing Tao, to The Song Dynasty was abolished. Gai Fanzhi and the Yizu were both officials of the Zhou Dynasty, and they were on the same level as the Yizu: Jiren Song was the prime minister, and he was far from being self-confident.) He is true, benevolent and conservative, knows the general situation, and promotes morale. The beauty of Song customs, The main reason for this is not the monarch, but the monarch is also powerful. Hu Yuan's usurpation, his clothes were covered with charcoal, and he rushed our people purely with the nature of nomadic aquatic plants. Therefore, there was no sky for ninety years. And the bright one advances. The progress of the bright is not the monarch The power is also. Ming Taizu used the nature of predation to destroy the spirit of the people and humiliate his officials. His laws set the rule that they should not be used by the emperor, so that the scholars and the people should not be able to protect themselves. Frustrated by such autocratic power, it is appropriate to The evil results were more severe in the Western Han Dynasty, but Donglin rehabilitated the society and gave up his life. The words are left behind and lost, which is humiliated by "The Biography of Two Officials". In the late Ming Dynasty, the morale of the mourning gradually disappeared, and Fu Yong and Qian, the sovereign, used the insidious talent of fierce birds of prey to practice the wonderful art of manipulating and taming. The reason for the writing is to promote unjust prisons, and the court humiliated the ministers and elders to disdain their integrity. "Ji Lan" and other books reject Daoism and belittle righteousness. Since Wei Wu, no one has dared to blatantly mess up black and white. However, he is still directly taught by Master Shang and Han Liulou, and everyone can learn it. It's not true, this is the words of the humble dog of Confucianism, and a generation has been deluded in it. Woohoo! Why do you want to make steel and turn it into soft fingers? The evil results sown more than a hundred years ago are now familiar with Zhengrong , and our nation has mowed it, and its filthy virtues have been so great that it has been wiped out across the five continents. It's not accidental, it's accidental!

(3) Depression due to repeated defeats.The wars in a country are most related to the character of the nation, and because of the different natures of the wars, the results are also different.Its categories are shown as follows: The three caves cannot be self-contained.The fifth is coolness.One cannot protect oneself, not to mention loves one's wife. Those who are dear to them have no time to love, let alone love others.The sixth is to be careless.Knowing that I am like this, it is better to have no life, not to keep the morning at dusk, to steal happiness on holidays, everyone is in danger, there is no way to go back, tame to the point where it is no different from barbarians who do not know the future.These three gentle people also contain sex.After the civil strife, the people also have two kinds of viciousness: one is terrorism.After learning from the pain, the dream is still a nightmare, the bile is broken, and the courage is all gone.The second is floating.I have lost my job for a long time, I have nowhere to turn to, the order is completely broken, and it is difficult to return to the old ways.The old husband who is in civil strife is the most unlucky thing.Taking the French Revolution as one of the most earth-shattering events in history, the result even caused the people of the whole country to shovel each other's knives at each other's stomachs, and its impact was to make the people of the country tens of years later lose their sense of normalcy.The historian Boliu said that France has not yet been able to achieve a complete civil government, and that it has lost too much vitality due to the revolutionary campaign, which is hardly an empty statement.

The impact of civil strife does not matter victory or defeat.Why?The victory and defeat are all in the family, so after the peace is restored, no matter whether it is the new government or the old government, the difference in the people's morality after the chaos depends only on how hard it is to make up for Tao Zhi.However, if there is temporary chaos and occasional chaos, the impact is rare and it is easy to remedy; for long-term chaos and frequent chaos, the impact is great and it is difficult to remedy.This is a big comparison.Ruofu's foreign wars are different.Those who take the initiative to attack people are lucky to be in the army, and the territory is safe and blocked, but they can only promote their martial arts soul and dance their self-esteem.Therefore, Xi Zhe said: war fighters, one of the conditions of national education, are gratifying rather than sad.Those who are passive and attack others, although their influence is absolutely similar to civil strife, they can change luck into fame, cruelty into hatred, oppression into self-consciousness, and even cunning into conspiracy. The heart of hostility becomes the heart of daring to die, and becomes the heart of self-preservation.Why?In internal strife, there is nowhere to escape to the country, but to hope for restitution after the turmoil; in external strife, life and death are determined at once, and fear that there will be no recovery in the future.Therefore, those who take advantage of the enemy's foreign aggression for the blessing of the country are sad but not the worst.If you are a conqueror in foreign wars, you will fight one more time, and the morality of the people will be higher.The Germans experienced the battle of Austria, and their patriotism increased, and the Germans experienced the battle of France, and their patriotism increased.The same is true of the Japanese campaign in Korea and China.All of them are examples.If the husband is defeated and becomes the conquered, the inherent nature of the nation can change suddenly and fall without a trace.Husband shines in the history books with the spirit of Sparta's strong military, but why after he succumbed to Persia, he was always a vassal of other clans, and the so-called commemoration of the military and nationals was never seen again.Before the 18th century, Poland almost dominated the whole of Europe. Why, after partition, did not have the inherent characteristics of multi-species people.In ancient times, Yanzhao was known as a man of generosity and sorrow, but today it is more than its city, and the flag of obedience is fluttering.I asked the dog butchers in the past, they were as evil as they were, why?Since Wuhu, Yuanwei, Anshi, Khitan, Nvzhi, Mongolia, and Manchuria, after hundreds of years of six or seven conquests, the instinct has been completely lost.Under the autocratic regime, the husband has already used both subservience and deceit as the only way to make progress, and the autocrats are no longer my kind.The old husband's civil strife and being conquered, both of which are here, the personality of its citizens can be degraded day by day, and China has accumulated thousands of years of civil strife, filling history with pus and blood. , has been conquered many times and cannot be conquered by itself. This accumulation has accumulated all kinds of inherited malignancies, which have pervaded society, and today's people are suitable for the earth-shattering civil strife after more than ten years in Hongyang, and since the spread of European power to the east. , the conquerors have their own conquerors, and the bandits are as many as five or six, and they are in front of us every day. There is almost a reason for the people to lose their humanity.

(4) Persecution due to poor livelihood.Guanzi said: "You know etiquette if you have enough food and clothing, and you know honor and disgrace." Mencius said: "The people have no permanent property, and they have no perseverance. Neither has perseverance. Isn't it so, isn't it so!In parallel worlds, the people with the most perfect personality are Britain and the United States, Germany, and the three countries. They all occupy the highest positions in the world of livelihood.Hundreds of years ago, the Spaniards and Portuguese had a strong, lively, resolute and rigorous demeanor, but today they are the opposite one by one, and they are all formed from the days of their livelihood.The worst ones are the Koreans and Annan people in eastern Thailand, and they are the people with the poorest livelihoods.The Russian government has frightened the five continents with the power of hawks and tigers, and its people call it the house of evil, and the darkness will never recover. Influence also.The Nihil Party has been lobbying and instigating for many years, but cannot win the sympathy of the majority.Japan's political skills are few in Europe and the United States, and its social morality is not as good as one in a hundred. It is also because the progress of its power does not correspond to the progress of politics.Regardless of the age of the husband, no matter the country, there will always be a small number of abnormal and out-of-the-ordinary people, who can neither be restrained by the magic of autocracy nor worn out by constant wealth and poverty.Although, you can't rule everyone.The majority of the people must have a little leeway in addition to relying on things and saving, so that they can respect themselves and cherish their reputation, love and love charity, and their brains have enough energy to engage in learning and cultivate their slightly noble ideals; Rili has spare time to think about things outside of himself, so as to develop his spirit of caring for the group.Otherwise, when the morning meal is over, you are worried about the evening meal, the autumn wind is coming, and you are weeping without brown. Although you have benevolence, how can you freeze and starve yourself to think about all living beings;Western ethnologists say that the difference between civilized people and barbarians lies in the presence or absence of public ideas and the abundance of future ideas.The reason for the difference between the two is the ease of livelihood, especially the author.Therefore, the nature of greed, contempt, indifference, hypocrisy, profanity, abandonment, and stealing are all caused by the lack of livelihood.The relationship between livelihood and morality is so close.For thousands of years, the people of our country have been trapped in corvees, disasters, and wars. Those who have lived and worked in peace have changed from generation to generation; The evil virtues of abandoning, abandoning, and stealing dogs have been educated by the ancestors in the society for tens of centuries; The constant number is several times the government's annual revenue. According to the statistics of national wealth and power, the average amount per person is only seventy cents. If one hundred thousand taels (excluding interest) and limited material resources are turned into irrecoverable mother wealth, how can the people live on their own!What's more, the tide of competition for livelihood in the world is sweeping, and now it is just beginning.The corruption and depravity of the Republic of China is getting worse and worse, alas, I don't know where it will end!

(5) Due to the weakness of academic rescue.The four ends are the source of most of the people's evil virtues.However, although the purpose of changing customs since ancient times is for the majority, the initiative is always for the minority. If there is a lack of it and there is something to make up for it, it will be poor but not to the extreme.The prosperity of righteousness in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the merits of Guangwu, Ming, and Zhang were three out of ten, the effect of Confucianism was actually seven out of ten.Tang and Song had similar autocratic abilities, and their monarchs were not far apart in their virtuousness. However, scholars and customs were like heaven and earth. Confucianism in Tang respected the superficiality of poetry, and Confucianism in Song Dynasty regarded Taoism as honest and honest.Although the causes of corruption in the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties were very complicated, Lao Zhuang and Zhuang Qing talked about sects, and half of them were to blame.The ancestor of the Ming Dynasty was mean and ungrateful, frustrated and humble, and reached the extreme, while the morale of the late Ming Dynasty was as high as that of the previous ones.However, the great plains that have been polluted by the morality of the people in the past two hundred years can be seen from the beginning.Kangxi's erudite poets and sages took the elders as their ancestors at home, and all of them degraded themselves.After the war here, Wang Xue, who had dominated people's hearts for a hundred years, was wiped out. The disciples of Chuanshan, Lizhou, Xiafeng, and Erqu, who embraced Juexue, and Laoyan Cave, were all killed.But Li Guangdi and Tang Bin are based on Zhu Xuewen.Taking Li Zhi as a traitor and flatterer because he forgets his relatives and betrayed him, (Li gave Zheng Chenggong a sacrificial offering, the predecessors did not ridicule him, and he thanked the mountains and rivers.) Tang's softness and flattery made him accept, and deceived the common customs, (Although Tang Bin is expensive, But the food is not as good as roasted chicken, and the curtains are not as good as sieves. After trying to play it out, the speaker said: "I have never used such deceptive words in my life. Later, it was recognized by the holy ancestors, like Gongsun Hong.) And he thought it was a great Confucian who founded the country , with the vegetarian king, it has not been drummed and cast, how can it be asked.The later students Lu Longqi, Lu Shiyi, Zhang Lvxiang, Fang Bao, and Xu Qian praised their academics with gracefulness, and their writing was provocative. Their personalities were almost inferior to those of Yuan Xuheng and Wu Cheng. , it's all over.And since Qianjia, Yan, Wang, Duan, Dai and others are the so-called Han scholars who praise each other, reject Song and Ming, and spare no effort.The studies of Husband, Song and Ming Dynasties have no faults to criticize, and Gu Wu alone does not allow reckless and disintegrated Sinologists to tolerate their beaks.What is the so-called study of Chinese studies?In the past during the Qianlong period, most of the dramas in the inner court were about inciting chaos and prostitution. No guilt.I see that what scholars have learned in the past two hundred years of my husband's dynasty are all like ghosts, snakes and gods, and their intentions are exactly the same as those of them.Gai Wang's study was so aggressive and vigorous that the master of the time hated it the most. He changed it and adopted Zhu's study.If you are a scholar of the Han Dynasty, you will stand outside the human society and work with the dead rocks underground two thousand years ago. Although you have written hundreds of volumes, you will never say a single word that hurts the time; talk.There is no such thing as a solid hiding place.Talented people, since they obtained this as one of the secret keys to stealing the name of Ashi, they searched their names and festivals without looking back.Therefore, there are still hypocrites in Song Dynasty, but there are no hypocrites in Sinology.Why?He saw that the famous and famous predecessors of his husband blatantly thought that the country party would not do things for self-interested people, and he was worshiped by the society and enjoyed the corpse of the academic world, so why bother to be self-sufficient and try to be strong to be the tolerance of Yu Xingshun and also.In the past, Wang Mingsheng (the author of "Shang Shu Hou An", "Seventeen History Discussion", etc., and a great son of Sinologists) said: "My reputation for corruption is only fifty years old; my reputation for writing books can Five hundred years." This second language speaker directly represents the intentions of all Sinologists.Zhuangzi said: "There is no sorrow greater than death in the heart." Sinologists lead the world and die in heart.This kind of fallacy, like stereotyped writing, has occupied the center of the academic world for more than two hundred years, until after the Jiawu and Yiwei periods, and its arrogance began to decline, and this innocuous world has been created, and now it is eating its reward , It’s a pity that it’s wasted. !

In the past five years, new ideas from overseas have entered China along with the aggressive forces of the foreign powers. They were first advocated by one or two people, and then thousands of people followed them.Those who advocate it do not necessarily despise the old learning, because the old learning is simple and unsuitable for the current situation, but think about it to subsidize it, and spread the righteousness of the public, promote the development of freedom of thought, and seek the self-choice of scholars.It is not intended that such a society that has been corrupted for a long time cannot be transplanted by the theory of civilization.Therefore, the theory of freedom is not to increase happiness, but to break order; the theory of equality is not to impose obligations, but to contempt sanctions; the theory of competition is not to be an enemy to the outside world, but to scatter Inner groups; talk about power, not for public welfare, but for personal opinion; talk about destruction, not for admonishment, but for destroying the essence of the country.Spencer once said: "Although there are changes in the decline of the world, the evil that disappears here will surely reappear in the other; the harm that disappears in A will outlast the second. If you unite with the group and nuke it, the bad government will harm the end, and you will always be at ease." That's why the people's hostages are not united, and the disaster can be easily solved, but there is no reason to stop it." Woohoo!In view of the influence of new theories in recent years on our youth circles, I have to obey the words of Sri Lanka's actual experience, and it will also add infinite pain to our people.Wouldn't the husband get one out of ten, who can eat the benefits of new thinkers, and only compensate for the disadvantages. "Records" said: "Wan Shouhe, Bai Shoucai, loyal and trustworthy people, you can learn etiquette." It also said: "Oranges in the south of the Yangtze River are oranges, and when they cross the north of the river, they are oranges." As soon as the theories of the common people entered China, they were swallowed up by its great assimilating power.To put it in a nutshell, the textual research between the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Qing Dynasty, the Qianjia Dynasty, and the liberty, equality, rights, and destruction spoken by the husband and present students are completely different, but their nature is the same.Nowadays, those who suffer more and more deeply, use the latest and most powerful theories to attach themselves to the vicious habits of the near and far, support and irrigate them. Therefore, there are changes in the morals of the people during the two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty. In the era of Zhu Xue, there was hypocrisy. Those who do evil still know that it is shameful to do evil; in the era of Sinology, there is no shame in doing evil if there are no false ones.If we don’t save them now, I’m afraid that in this European school era, there will be people who will be proud of doing evil. Today, it has sprouted in a small number of young people.If the husband takes pride in doing evil, then the flood and ferocious beasts are enough to describe the misery?When a gentleman reads this, his skin will tremble.Table of the rise and fall of civil morality in the past dynasties of China (omitted)

Table of Reasons for the Decline and Decline of Civil Virtue in the Past Dynasties of China (attached) Private virtue is everyone's food, and it cannot be separated even for a moment.Although, in my thesis, it is impossible to describe the vast majority of people who do not read and read; that is, it is impossible to hear about the few people who read old books and know old characters.Therefore, the benefit of my advice has to be limited to the smallest minority among the minority of citizens.Gu Wuxinfu is the least minority, and his power in the future will be powerful enough to control the majority and more than enough.I am happy about it, I am afraid of it, and I can't say enough about it. Today, the most dazzling and intoxicating person among handsome men with bones and blood is not destructiveism, is it?Whether or not it will be possible to destroy it in today's China is another question, let alone discuss it.Now those who go to extremes, if only construction requires morality, but destruction does not need morality, I think it is wrong.The great achievements of construction in ancient and modern times certainly do not contain the nature of destruction; the great men of destruction in ancient and modern times also have the spirit of construction.In fact, destruction and construction are inseparable from each other, and the abilities they need are exactly the same.If there is something lacking, the construction of Meteor cannot be expected, and even the destruction cannot be expected.Those who talk about destroying today refer to the example of division of labor in livelihood science, saying that I can't take the world's affairs and take care of them in the end. I would rather be responsible for destroying according to the current situation. After destroying, I will build. The responsibility is to be a gentleman, and I don't have to worry about it.Doesn't his heart look like a grand duke?Gu Wu thought that there should be construction not only after destruction, but also before destruction.If you refuse, even if you talk about destruction every day, the purpose of destruction will not be achieved.Why?The general rule of group studies is that those who must be internally solid can compete externally. One society competes with other societies, and one citizen competes with other people. But you must be defeated, or you will be defeated before you meet the enemy.However, the nature of destructiveism makes it difficult for the minority who are newly created in this society and their own country to brazenly fight against the majority who have long dominated the other side.Therefore, we do not suffer from the strength of the enemy, but only from our weakness.What do I rely on to defeat the enemy?It's just a solid and powerful body that can be united.However, in a society or a country, it is easy to develop the organism naturally developed by inheriting the inherited habits accumulated over the years.In one party, it is the opposite. The former has nothing to rely on, and the world has nothing to use. Its organisms are all artificially developed, so it is the most difficult to achieve.The so-called builder before the destruction is nothing more than building.If you want to get it, you can give up morality and laugh at it! Today, what we call destroyers means all destroyers.This is also a statement.Do we destroy it for words?Said: go to its disease my society who Yun Er.For example, if everything is destroyed, it will merge with society and destroy it.For example, if you have a serious illness in your body, you have no choice but to apply medicinal stones. If you don’t care about the parts that are affected or not, but all acupuncture and moxibustion, attacking and venting, you will just commit suicide.I also know that those who destroy the words of people with lofty ideals do not aim to destroy society, but I don't know that the words of "all destruction" are used to the mouth and imprinted in the brain, and moral sanctions can no longer be imposed. As for perishing.I also know very well that those who destroy the words of my husband with lofty ideals, in fact, in view of the whole society today, there is almost no part that is not sick.Of course also.However, no matter how aggressive the medicine is, the healer must rely on the so-called "primordial spirit and true fire" as the source of the disease. Yu former illness.Therefore, all destructive words have thousands of abuses, but the results are not uniform.Why?If there are those who are destructive and those who are not, then the part that should be destroyed can still enjoy the benefits of destruction. If everything is destroyed, not only what should be established in the future cannot be established, even what is appropriate to be destroyed at present will not be destroyed. This is what I dare Assert also.In the past, I thought that the old morality in China might not be enough to control the hearts of the people in the future, and I was eager to invent a new morality to supplement it (see Chapter 5 "On Public Morality"). Thinking about it now, this is an ideal statement. It is definitely not something that can be seen in reality today.When the husband talks about group governance, he must call virtue, wisdom, and strength. However, the achievement of wisdom and strength is very easy, but virtue is the most difficult.Today, if you want to change the people with a new morality, you must not just rely on the power of the mere Western theories, that is, read all the books of Socrates, Plato, Kant, and Hei Zhier, and call them "new morality". It is not acceptable to call it a "new morality".Why?A moral person acts, not speaks. If he wants to speak morally, his origin comes from the freedom of conscience.If one wants to practice morality, each has its own experience due to the different nature of the society. The whispers of the sages, the fragrance of the ancestors, and the silent body are passed down to me. This is why a society is nourished. and also.Once I suddenly want to support me with the support of other society, how easy is it?If we try to analyze the essence of Western morality, we can see how many of them are sanctioned by religion, how many are sanctioned by law, and how many are sanctioned by social reputation.And these three, can they exist in today's China?I know that it must not be possible.It can't be done, but it is like saying that if you want to change the people with new morality, it is the so-called grinding bricks into a mirror and cooking sand for food.I know that those who teach morality must seek the new morality of Western and Western countries to subsidize it. Although, this will not be achieved overnight after the national education is booming. Talk about food, but you can't be full in the end.What's more, today's people have nothing to hold back as a transition, and the term national education is nothing more than empty words, and the day of implementation is unpredictable. It is the import of new morality, so it is hopeless.But what do you care about those who maintain our society on the front line today?It also said: My ancestors inherited the inherent old morality. (Morality and ethics are different. Morality can include ethics, but ethics cannot be exhaustive. Ethics may change its interpretation slightly due to the current situation, while morality is universally applicable, and it will not be confusing for hundreds of generations. It is a crime, polygamy is not immoral, and this kind of ethics is not suitable for today's people: if the virtue of loyalty and love are the same as the ancient and modern, Chinese and Western, and so on, they cannot be enumerated. Therefore, it is said that Chinese ethics have shortcomings. However, it is not acceptable to say that Chinese morality has shortcomings.) And the theory of "all destruction" is bound to take the old morality and destroy it.Woohoo, the beginning is simple, and the end is huge.Seeing hair scattered in Yichuan, knowing a hundred years and becoming a soldier.Wu said, "My aunt said it quickly for a while." Yun Er.If your words are powerless, you will be ridiculed by your words; if your words are powerful, then you will poison the world.I hope that those who are responsible for speaking will have a deep thought. Readers don't want to say: Today, saving the country is too busy, so what's the point of talking about sex and reasoning.If you don't think it's your responsibility to save the country, the corruption of 400 million people has been going on for a long time, and you don't want to compete with the few lords.However, the future of China depends on the monarchs, so the importance of morality and the contempt of morality by the monarchs are the survival of the country.Now, in terms of destroying the cause, do you know why the heroes of the British Revolution two hundred years ago were like human beings?Pickeringwell is the purest Puritan.Do you also know why the heroes of the American Revolution a hundred years ago were so human?Those led by Washington are all the most honest and kind citizens.Do you also know why the heroes of the Japanese revolution 30 years ago were so human?The generation of Yoshida Songyin and Xixiang Nanzhou are all great Confucians taught by Zhu Xue and Wang Xue.Therefore, unless you have a heart that cannot bear others, you cannot speak of destruction; unless you have a noble and pure nature, you cannot speak of destruction.Although, if this is the case, it is easy to say, but difficult to do.I know it's difficult, but I work hard every day, work hard to sustain myself, encourage myself when I'm in trouble, meet each other with loyalty and trust, and be good at being good at friends.If it destroys what it holds as a tool for destruction, I can't congratulate the way ahead of the destruction.I have seen the world's commentators think that the revolutionary fever is too strong, and even the holy Hong Xiuquan and the hero Zhang Xianzhong are rare, and I also know that they are speaking for the sake of doing something.However, can such evil causes be created too often?It is very pleasant to make the cause, but it is hard to bear the fruit when it is reaped.Husband Zhang Xianzhong is even more insignificant, that is, Hong Xiuquan may use the banner he marked, which is in line with nationalism, and praise him.Whether or not Hong Xiuquan moved because of nationalism, although commentators dare not be a guarantor.Why did Wang Mang not call Yi and Zhou, why did Cao Pi violate Yu and Shun, and how did he treat them like ears?Most of the people who talk about it must be based on the subtlety of their minds.He is a villain, so he cannot be called a gentleman just because he coincidentally agrees with my purpose.For example, Han Haozhou's lord Fajin theory is the most praised by my generation, but praising his theory cannot praise his person.He is a gentleman, and he cannot be dismissed as a villain because he is inconsistent with my purpose.Wang Mengzhi's assistant Fu Qin is the most despicable person in my generation, but his despicable deeds cannot be discredited.Those who talk about it are as insignificant as they think it is irrelevant, and no one can deny it, but make it so that it is more important than society. I don't know how much the influence of the mind of the society as a whole is.It's nothing more than restlessness. Husband advocates revolution, isn't he just trying to save the country?People want to save the country, no one is as good as me, and the country cannot be saved by the revolution of the "nonsense school", instead of saving it, it will perish quickly.This must be done calmly and deeply.The meaning of the commentator must be said again: Unless there is a nonsense faction who leads the way, the powerful faction cannot reap the benefits.Whether or not this is discussed is a separate issue, and I will not debate it here.Now I am asking what the commentators mean, do you want to call yourself a nonsense school, and make everyone who listens to my words a nonsense school?I am afraid that although the king wants to lose himself, the position of the king is inherently incapable. Even if there is energy, there are many people who can fool around in the whole country. Snake feet are also, but why wait for the king to persuade you to drive.Kuang Jun's words are all spoken to those who have no qualifications to fool around, and those who have the qualifications to fool around are beyond the reach of your pen and ink.However, today, we are also engaged in the cause of truly saving the country, and we are only cultivating talents who can really save the country.If this is the case, then I think such kind words are enough.In the past, Cao Cao was sent down to teach, looking for someone who was unkind and unfilial, but had the art of governing the country and using soldiers.His meaning, wouldn't he also say that I am saving a moment.But I didn't know what the wind was spreading, so I made the Dianwu fall, the shame and Taoism mourned, the Wuhu invaded repeatedly, the Yuan Wei Pingling, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor fell to the ground, and this is the beginning.The news here is almost like the collapse of Tongshan in the west, and the response of Luo Zhong in the east.Woohoo, don't be afraid!Don't be afraid!If his father seizes gold, his son will surely kill someone, and if the topknot is high in the city, the four sides must be one foot high.Today, the few foresights in the country are known as the pioneers of the fashion, the heroes of the latecomers, and they are looking forward to it. If they go astray as advocates, I am afraid that their merits will not be enough to pay for their crimes.The ancient philosopher did not say: "When two armies face each other, the mourner will win." Today, people with a little knowledge and a little blood have a major enemy against the government and another major enemy against the great powers. What should they do for those who work hard to build power? ?Where is the strength?I think that the enlightenment of knowledge and the preparation of sports are other things, and only morality is the teacher.无道德观念以相处，则两人且不能为群，而更何事之可图也。自起楼而自摧烧之，自莳种而自践踏之，以云能破坏则诚有矣，独惜其所破坏者，终在我而不在敌也。曾文正者，近日排满家所最唾骂者也，而吾则愈更事而愈崇拜其人。吾以为使曾文正生今日而犹壮年，则中国必由其手而获救矣。彼惟以天性之极纯厚也，故虽行破坏可也；惟以修行之极严谨也，故虽用权变可也。故其言曰：“扎硬寨，打死仗。”曰：“多条理，少大言。”曰：“不为圣贤，便为禽兽。”“莫问收获，但问耕耘。”彼其事业之成，有所以自养者在也；彼其能率厉群贤以共图事业之成，有所以孚于人且善导人者在也。吾党不欲澄清天下则已，苟有此志，则吾谓《曾文正集》，不可不日三复也。夫以英、美、日本之豪杰证之则如彼，以吾祖国之豪杰证之则如此，认救国之责任者，其可以得师矣。 吾谓破坏家所破坏者，往往在我而不在敌，闻者或不慊焉。盖倡破坏者，自其始断未有立意欲自破坏焉者也，然其势之所趋多若是。此不徒在异党派有然也，即同党派亦然。此其何故欤？窃尝论之。共学之与共事，其道每相反，此有志合群者所不可不兢兢也。当其共学也，境遇同，志趣同，思想同，言论同，耦俱无猜，谓相将携手以易天下。及一旦出而共事，则各人有各人之性质，各人有各人之地位，一到实际交涉，则意见必不能尽同，手段必不能尽同。始而相规，继而相争，继而相怨，终而相仇者，往往然矣。此实中西历史上所常见，而豪杰所不免也。谚亦有之：“相见好，同住难。”在家庭、父子、兄弟、夫妇之间，尚且有然，而朋友又其尤甚者也。于斯时也，惟彼此道德之感情深者，可以有责善而无分离，观曾文正与王璞山、李次青二人交涉之历史，可以知其故矣。读者犹疑吾言乎，请悬之以待足下实际任事之日，必有不胜其感慨者。夫今之志士，必非可以个个分离孤立，而能救此濒危之国，明也。其必协同运动，组成一分业精密、团结巩固之机体，庶几有济。吾思之，吾重思之，此机体之所以成立，舍道德之感情，将奚以哉！将奚以哉！ 且任事者，最易漓汨汩人之德性，而破坏之事，又其尤甚者也。当今日人心腐败达于极点之时，机变之巧，迭出相尝，太行孟门，岂云昮绝。曾文正与其弟书云：“吾自信亦笃实人，只为阅历世途，饱更事变，略参些机权作用，倒把自家学坏了。”以文正之贤，犹且不免，而他更何论也。故在学堂里讲道德尚易，在世途上讲道德最难。若夫持破坏主义者，则更时时有大敌临于其前，一举手，一投足，动须以军略出之，而所谓军略者，又非如两国之交绥云也。在敌则挟其无穷之威力以相临，在我则偷期密约，此迁彼就，非极机巧，势不能不归于劣败之数，故破坏家之地位之性质，尝与道德最不能相容者也。是以躬亲其役者，在初时或本为一极朴实极光明之人，而因其所处之地位、所习之性质，不知不觉，而渐与之俱化，不一二年，而变为一刻薄寡恩、机械百出之人者有焉矣，此实最可畏之试验场也。然语其究竟，则凡走入刻薄机诈一路者，固又断未有能成一事者也。此非吾摭拾《宋元学案》上理窟之空谈，实则于事故上证以所见者所历者，而信其结果之必如是也。夫任事者修养道德之难既若彼，而任事必须道德之急又若此，然则当兹冲者，可不栗栗耶，可不孳孳耶！《诗》曰：“毋教猱升木。”如涂涂附，息息自克，犹惧未能挽救于万一，稍一自放，稍一自文，有一落千丈而已。 问者曰：今日国中种种老朽社会，其道德上之黑暗，不可思议，今子之所论，反乃偏责备于新学之青年，新学青年，虽或间有不德，不犹愈于彼等乎？答之曰：不然。彼等者，无可望无可责者也，且又非吾笔墨之势力范围所能及也。中国已亡于彼等之手，而惟冀新学之青年，致死而之生之，若青年稍不慎，而至与彼等同科焉，则中国遂不可救也。此则吾哓音瘏口之微意也。
