Chapter 31 Quarter Sixteen-1

According to our research policy, the sixteenth chapter here and the sixth chapter "Yong Ye" in the above discussion have a mutual echo relationship.The sixth chapter talks about "Ran Yong" - Zhong Gong, Confucius mentioned that he has the spirit of a king and the talent of an emperor.The present book is about the main points of Chinese culture and political philosophy.I heard that a large part of the beginning of this book has been compiled into the Chinese textbook of high school and has become a very important article.This book has many key points: it contains the spirit of Chinese cultural and political philosophy and the political concepts of Chinese culture.The cultural morality of our entire nation is that we don't like to invade people, and we don't advocate others to invade people.Another important point is to talk about ministers, important ministers of a country, to

Big political decisions are very important, and there must be no slack in the middle.As Mencius said, the distinction between righteousness and benefit should always be paid attention to.Looking at these many truths and real things in history can also help us understand the evolution of the world situation today.For example, the resignation of US President Nixon, the resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka, and the resignation of Miki, in the eyes of a person who studies history and culture, these are living books, which can enable us to understand our own classic books more deeply and understand the world better. It is a good contrast to the past and the future, and this is where the real knowledge lies.If you only read words in books, this kind of knowledge is useless, you are indeed a nerd.So sometimes I disagree that young people only know how to concentrate on studying, which will turn them into nerds and bury their talents.But I also disagree with not going to school. If you have a genius and don't go to school, you don't know how to deal with things because you don't understand principles.Knowledge and talent should be combined.Today's era has given us many inspirations.

The thoughts of our Chinese cultural and political philosophy, as far as I understand—why say according to "I" understand?Here I have a statement: I know very little about the world's knowledge and things, and there are many things I don't know, so I want to explain that it is based on what I know.Among the cultural and political thoughts in the world, I am afraid that only the Chinese have this spirit. The spirit of Chinese national culture is called "prosperity and destruction of the country, succession of the world".The historical spirit of Confucius' "Spring and Autumn" lies here. This is the spirit of our national culture for thousands of years.The so-called "prosperity and destruction of the country", before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the "country" was a local political unit, and the princes were divided into "countries".In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period

In modern times, there are hundreds of countries.Not counting some small countries, there are dozens of big countries.In the past, this system in China was the so-called "feudalism". The "feudal system" is completely different between China and the West, which was also discussed in the above discussion.The feudalism in China is centered on the patriarchal clan, which is based on blood, not the feudalism of the West, which is based on slavery and power. The term feudalism, scholars over the past few decades, when referring to the term feudalism in their works, seem to have basically no correct understanding of the differences between Chinese and Western feudalism.This is not just a joke, it even affects the upheaval and pain that the country has suffered in the past 60 years.

In the history of these vassal states in the past, when one of the states was about to perish, or even became extinct, the other states had to find the descendants of this state and help them rise up and restore the state. "Continuing the peerless world" means that even if the country is extinct, it must find a way to make it continue to exist. This is the spirit of Chinese culture for international politics, and it is also the spiritual connotation of nationalism in the Three People's Principles. For example, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, after he unified the world, tried to make him continue for Qin Shihuang, as well as Chu, Wei, Qi, etc. The first emperor of Qin, the king of Chu Yin, Chen She, the king of Anli of Wei, the king of Qi Min, and the king of Zhao Yuxiang are all extinct and have no heirs. There are ten families in each of them; twenty families of the emperor of Qin; five families of Prince Wuji of Wei." As far as Han Gaozu is concerned, he has always been open-minded and generous, which naturally fits the major principles of Chinese cultural spirit. Therefore, Liu Bang's descendants have been able to maintain political power in Chinese history for four hundred years.All my descendants of the Yellow Emperor should have this understanding.

As you know from the study of the Three People's Principles, this spirit is not found in the culture of any country.Therefore, I often tell foreign friends that if you look at Chinese history, except for the southern and northern dynasties and the Five Dynasties when the frontier peoples proclaimed themselves kings and emperors, the official dynasties, Han, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing, the Chinese nation never took the initiative to mobilize. A war of aggression that intends to destroy the descendants and land of neighboring countries in order to incorporate them into our territory.Even if there are problems in other countries, such as the past vassal countries Annan, Siam, North Korea, etc., there have been changes, we can send troops to assist him to quell the civil strife in other countries, but we must withdraw our troops and choose another good one for them. The emperor, the power should be handed over to them for good management. There are no conditions, as long as they bow their heads and profess their ministers, pay tribute every year, and come to court every year.At that time, when we demanded tribute from these vassals—countries of foreign vassals—we had to lose money, and the loss was quite heavy.In some places, it was re-translated into North Korea, that is, in the past, when some remote ethnic groups, such as India and Persia, came to Korea, they had to be translated into Chinese in two or three languages; .As the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu said in a famous sentence, "all nations wear clothes and worship crowns".Han and Tang cultures had such a great situation.So until now, overseas Chinese communities in all countries in the world call it "Chinatown", which is the legacy of the cultural spirit of the Tang Dynasty, and China in English is the transliteration of the Great Qin Empire.When foreigners came to court, the gifts we sent back were much more than what they sent. This is the spirit of our Chinese nation.So this kind of thinking of "prosperity and destruction of the country, succession to the peerless world", at least as far as I can see, is not found in any country in the world, except China.So not only do we not want to invade other people's land, but we also don't want to occupy other people's land.At present, many powerful countries want to control other people's economic markets, and we have never seen it.

family tree This idea evolved into a larger aspect and became an international political philosophy.Xiaoze also has this spirit in his personal family.We Chinese, each surname has a family tree in the ancestral hall, also known as Jiacheng.I am afraid that young people nowadays have rarely seen it, but I was lucky to see it twice.Once when I was young, it happened to be a clan meeting, and the patriarch, the oldest person in the highest generation, opened the ancestral hall to repair the family tree.The origin of the ancestors is recorded in the family, many of which can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, because the descendants of the Zhou Dynasty divided the countries and took the place as their surname; some even traced back to Xuanyuan to prove that they were indeed the descendants of the Yellow Emperor; Taiwan has the largest number For those with the Lin surname, their family records the ancestor of the Lin surname-the first ancestor is Lin Jian, the son of Bigan, who is the uncle and brother of King Zhou, and Bigan is the uncle of King Zhou.Now record a lineage table at the top of the Lin surname family tree (1 to 7 as shown below):

Early genealogy table of the family tree of the surname Lin first table I, II, III, IV, V, VI (Tang) (Yu) Abandoned (also known as Houji) Xuanxiao—Xuji—Diku—Qi—Zhaoming Fang Xun (also known as Yao Tao Tang) Xuanyuan - Emperor Zhi Shun School Chang Yi - Zhuan Xu - Poor Extreme - Respecting Kang - Yu School second table Sixth Seventh Eighth Ninth Tenth Eleventh (Yu) (Xia) Zhaoming—Xiangtu—Changruo—Cao Yu—Ming—Zhen third table The eleventh, the twelveth, the thirteenth, the fourteenth, the fifteenth, the sixteenth Vibration—micro—report D—report B—report C—master Ren fourth form

16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st (business) Foreign C (aka Soup) Wadding Lord Ren—— Lord Gui——Tianyi——Tianding——Taijia—— Zhong Ren Taigeng fifth table 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th Xiao Jia Zhong Ding Yong Ji Wai Ren Taikang - Taiwu - Hedan Jia - Zuyi - Zuxin - Zuding Wojia - Nangeng sixth form The 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st (Yin Dynasty) Yang Jia Pangeng Little Xin Zugeng - Lin Xin Zu Ding—Xiao Yi—Wu Ding—Zu Jia—Geng Ding—Wu Yi seventh form 31st 32nd 33rd 34th Tiny Kai Emperor Yi - Zhong Yan Shou Xin (King of Zhou) Wu Yi—Tai Ding—Bigan—Lin Jian (ancestor of the Lin surname)

(Henan) These seven tables are the family line tables before Lin's surname, all the way to the first ancestor of Lin's surname.In the future, Lin Jian will be the main one, and the list will be based on this form.We now call this form of table a system table, which is based on the name of "family".The old practice of compiling a family tree is to make a list every five generations.The family lineage is recorded in this way and propagated in this way, because there are too many generations and too many tribes.Therefore, the family trees of the Lin family in Fujian and the Lin family in Shandong, who share the same surname later, will have different genealogies, and the situation is the same as the table above.In the family of the Lin family, the descendants of Shou Xin, Zhong Yan, and Wei Ziqi are no longer recorded, but the descendants of Shou Xin, Zhong Yan, and Wei Ziqi are recorded.But all the way back, it will still be traced back to Bigan, Diyi and Taiding.

Confucius, Mencius and Zeng Yan's Genealogy However, when the clans of later generations repaired the genealogy, there were four surnames in the so-called "Tongtian Genealogy", which means that there is only one kind of genealogy in the whole world.These four surnames are Kong, Meng, Zeng and Yan.The ancestors of these four surnames can all be traced back to the four great sages of Confucius, Meng Ke, Zeng Shen, and Yan Hui respectively, and the genealogy of these four families, the character generations arranged—that is, the characters used for naming the generations—are exactly the same.This incident seems to have nothing to do with the nation, but it actually fully demonstrates the noble culture of our nation and the spirit of valuing blood. When it comes to character generation, it is one of the important tasks of compiling a family tree.In the past, the family tree was revised every thirty years.Even if a family in decline cannot exceed sixty years at most, it must be repaired once.When revising the score, it is necessary to decide to arrange a new generation of characters.Taking the generation of the Cai family as an example, there are ten characters of "Shitai's family is inspired, Yunlong teaches and grows".When the genealogy was revised in 1944, another ten new characters were decided for the naming of the next ten generations. The name is "Sheng" Chuan, and the great-great-grandson is named "Qi" Wei.Judging from the name, the seniority is distinct, and the hierarchy is orderly.Among the same generation, there are also different characters using the same radical.For example, the brothers and sisters of the Qi character generation, the brothers are named Qiwei, Qishi, Qiyou, Qixia, and the younger sister uses Qinon, Qiyi, Qixian and so on.This way of showing bloodlines was later expanded as a way of showing cultural systems and social relations.For example, Wang Furong and Li Fuchu, the stage names used by the students of the major classes in Peking in the past and the students of several drama schools today, can be seen at a glance as students of the Fuxing drama school.Liu Luhe and Zhao Lujin are students of Lu Guang's Lu family.Another example is the so-called big-character generation and common-character generation in the modern special society, all of which have this spirit, which has many, many functions. Red and blue line drawing Guikushen In the family, as shown in the table above, you can see the origin of the ancestors, like Bigan with the word Henan marked next to it.Another example is that I am from Zhejiang, how did our Nan surname come from Henan to Zhejiang?It was during the Southern Song Dynasty that we came to Zhejiang from the south, which means that this time we came to Taiwan with the government. At that time, we followed the government to Zhejiang, and then there are records of who went there in the ancestors of the past dynasties.Once I saw a family surnamed Ye revising genealogy somewhere, and there were so many strange things that happened, our children were scared when they heard it, and they would cry and howl in the ancestral hall at night.Because some people have no children after several generations, and their straight line on the family tree will be broken.According to the old rules, when you get married, you should note "Shi Zhang" and "Shi Li". It can be seen clearly that this has been the custom of patriarchal society for thousands of years.The organization of the patriarchal society is so strict. The personal name, character, number, posthumous law, career, and occupation are equivalent to a biography, which is clearly recorded in the family.The lines in the genealogy table of the family tree are all red. If you see a blue line in the middle, it is a very serious matter.Because the red line represents the lineage; if it is a blue line, it means that there is no child, but the brother’s child, that is, the nephew adoptively inherits the clan; if there is no brother or nephew, the nephew (sister’s child) adopts the cigarette If the surname is not, add a double surname, which is usually the most recent adoptive (also called Chengyou) of the original surname blood.Among them, there is also one who has two sons, such as two brothers, the elder brother has no son, and the younger brother has only one child, then the only son is also the uncle's child.And besides his biological father marrying him a wife, his uncle also married him a wife, known as the eldest daughter-in-law. (Of course, the number of brothers is the number of rooms).Then the child born to the wife of the long house is the grandson of the uncle, and the child born to the wife of the house is the grandson of the biological father.If there are no uncles or brothers, the uncles and ancestors will be inherited from the descendants of their peers, going back to the Five Dynasties.If the nephew inherits the family name, it must be approved by the patriarch, and the first generation who is adopted must have a double surname.For example, the Zhang family is adopted by the nephew of the Li family, and Zhang Li is written under the blue line in the family.Therefore, some people have no descendants, so the family can't continue to repair in normal times, and they hear ghosts crying at night.The person in charge of compiling the genealogy must find a way to make his ancestry continue. Later, when I returned to my hometown from outside, I was in charge of repairing the family tree according to my father's order, and I dared not refuse.This matter is very serious and must not be sloppy at all. Those who are slightly unclear or doubtful must visit this family in person.If a family moved to Jiangxi, they would have to go to Jiangxi to look for it in person. They found it with great difficulty in Jiangxi, but the descendants of the family went to Hunan again, and they had to follow up and visit Hunan again.In my experience, when you go to visit, some people will hate you, but most of them are very welcome and treated very courteously. They not only provide food and lodging, treat each other as VIP elders, but also give red envelopes.But it will also be useful in giving red envelopes. For example, under his family's name, this To those who should draw a blue line, send a big red envelope and request to draw a red line for him.But this is the great law of the clan, and those who compile the genealogy dare not mess around, and if they cheat, some ghosts will come to punish them, which is too much to bear.From the standpoint of anthropology, it seems that the red line or the blue line has little to do with it. The spirit of "people's compatriots and things and things" is the same. However, from the standpoint of clan blood, Never dare to do it with an open mind.Others declared that they were not nephews, but children born to "roadside wives".The so-called "roadside wife" refers to the custom of renting a wife in some places, renting a woman, giving birth to a child, and handing over the child to the man, each going his own way, there is no relationship between husband and wife.But how to prove it? "Roadside wives" are equivalent to polyandry in Tibet.In Tibet, there is monogamy, polygamy, and polyandry. Some polyandry are brothers and wives, and some women are the wives of Zhang, Wang, Liu, and Li at the same time. Feminism is very important. high.Therefore, the children of "roadside wives" have problems when they encounter several repair houses, because it is impossible to prove which husband the child belongs to.But no matter it is the red line or the blue line, there is one most important spirit, which is the spirit of "prosper and destroy the country, and inherit the peerless world". For those who have no descendants, they must find a way to inherit their ancestors and continue cigarettes. This is China Everyone must pay attention to the spirit of national thought. I have talked with many old friends and asked them if they have any experience in repairing and reading family trees.Some of them are seventy or eighty years old, and they all say no, but I am lucky to have it twice in my life.But there is one regrettable thing. According to the old rules, there are only two genealogies of each clan.The original is placed in the ancestral hall, and the copy is placed in the patriarch's home.If it is for legal issues or other issues related to the clan, it is not easy to check the family tree. Only when all the directors and persons in charge of the ancestral hall are present can the box for storing the family tree be opened.I was editing the family tree at home, and a friend told me that when he went back to repair the family tree, there was a change. Instead of having two originals and a copy as wide as half a desk as before, it became the current twenty-four format book, and at the same time More than 100 sets were printed, and anyone who paid for it would get one set for one family, or one set for three or five families, so as to spread it as a resource.His method is very new, but I can't do it, because the elders of our Nan family are very conservative. They dare not change the rules passed down from their ancestors. There is no way to start this new trend, so I admire him very much. It's really clever. .I regretted it a little afterwards. If I had done the same thing at the time, the elders would have been unhappy at best and would not have treated me badly. However, I changed my mind. The family tree is like printing a book.In fact, thinking about it now, my friend’s approach was correct. I am afraid that many people’s family trees are gone now. However, after arriving in Taiwan, I heard people say that before and after the Anti-Japanese War, some clans compiled their genealogy, just like my friend. In addition to the public funds of the ancestral hall, an appointment is made and a price is set. All families of the clan are willing to donate Those who have more than a certain amount of money will receive a copy, which is called a family tree.Rich people get one, and some families get one together.The money donated definitely exceeds the reserved price, and some even exceed ten times to show filial piety to the ancestors and do their best for the clan.Usually, leading the family is very solemn and respectful, and it is regarded as a kind of honor. In addition to using classical drum music, it is like welcoming the gods in the ancestral hall, and there is also a banquet on the day to invite relatives and friends, because this is also a happy event. Clans, relatives, friends, and neighbors all come to congratulate.The retrieved family tree is placed in the "music box" and enshrined next to the ancestral tablet, which cannot be opened easily.If there are several joint-collar family trees, they will take turns enshrining and keeping them for one year. This matter is very solemn. Traditional History Materials Genealogy exists not only for individuals, but for the patriarchal social concept of a family; its higher value lies in the fact that there are many valuable materials in it.Especially in terms of history, searching for personal historical materials, such as the biographies of Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang, is to find a lot of real materials and records from the family trees in his hometown, which are very important in history.In other words, the family tree and the family vehicle are a small history of its patriarchal society.We often say that everyone is the descendant of the Yellow Emperor, that is, every family follows the genealogy research, going back to the end, the Yellow Emperor is the root of each family.After development, it shows the national concept of "prosperity and destruction of the country, succession to the world". Another point, the concept of "prosper and destroy the country, inherit the peerless world" can also be said to be the chivalrous spirit of Chinese humanities.Chivalrous righteousness means righteousness, and it also comes from this spirit.I once mentioned that the word "benevolence" for benevolence and righteousness has "synonyms" with the same meaning in the languages ​​of various countries in the world.However, the word "righteousness" in chivalry does not have a synonym in the languages ​​of all countries in the world. Only our Chinese culture talks about chivalry and righteousness.This is a kind of spirit towards friends, for which one can sacrifice one's life.When a friend dies, he should be responsible for the upbringing of his children, and educate them until they grow up and start a family.Some public and private organizations even take care of the orphans of their employees.Of course, this kind of situation is relatively rare in today's society.In the past, I saw several friends who took care of the orphans and widows of their deceased friends until the children grew up and married.This kind of chivalrous spirit, seeing injustice, helping others, and giving aid when seeing loneliness, is developed according to the spirit of "prosperity and destruction of the country, and succession to the world". After we understand this truth, the concept of "prosperity and destruction of the country, successor to the world" is developed again, which constitutes many unique advantages of the national culture of our country.Although we see the current society, we all lament that the world is out of date, it seems to be particularly snobbish and realistic.But as far as I know, all Chinese people, innately in their blood and subconsciously, still retain this spirit of "prosper and destroy the country, and continue to die".It is just that due to different times, different educational methods, and different scopes of knowledge, there are signs of decline.Once our country and nation return to peace and stability, and we pay attention to the education of etiquette and righteousness, our national spirit will not change.Often when we meet foreign friends, we will reflect the greatness of our Chinese nation.For example, an American friend once celebrated Chinese New Year at my house.While chatting and laughing, he said that some people say that Americans have a sense of superiority, but in fact they are wronged. He has been to various countries in the world, and according to his research results, the Chinese have the strongest sense of superiority.I said I admit it, and I said you don't have to say it anymore, you think I have the strongest sense of national superiority among Chinese people.He laughed and said, what if one day my country and your country become enemies, and the two of us meet on the battlefield, what will you do?I said, I will shoot you, and if you die, I will hug your dead body and cry.Kill you because you are the enemy of my country, cry because you are my friend.Although this is a joke, when we study our own national characteristics, there are many characteristics that are different from those of other countries in the world, and we must pay special attention to these.It is also something that must be brought up before talking about the book "The Sixteenth of Ji's Family". aggressor's evasion Now for the text: The Ji family will attack Zhuanyu.Ran You and Ji Lu met Confucius and said: "The Ji family will have something to do with Zhuan Yu."Confucius said: Seeking, nothing is wrong?Husband Zhuanyu, the former king thought that the Eastern Mongolian Lord, and he was in the state!He is the minister of the country, why cut him down? Another paragraph about the Ji family of Lu State has been mentioned many times, so I won't introduce it again.When Confucius was, the three brothers of the Ji family held political power, military power, and economic power in their hands.Although they still dare not overthrow the dynasty of the Lu State, the monarch of the Lu State is tantamount to a puppet.This time the Ji family is going to invade the small country Zhuanyu.Ran You, a student of Confucius, was regarded as a literati in the Ji family, and he was also a military officer, and he was a retainer of the Ji family.So on this day, He Zilu and Zilu came to see Confucius and reported to Confucius that there was something wrong with Ji's family in Zhuanyu.This sentence is very simple in the articles of the ancients, but in fact things are not simple.Why did Ran You and Ji Lu come here?It's not that they don't know that the Ji family has the ambition to invade this small country and wants to annex Zhuanyu.But the two of them were influenced by the old master Confucius, and they were also high-achieving students of Confucius. In their hearts, they felt that the Ji family's matter was wrong, and if they did it, they would definitely be scolded by the teacher.But these two people are not Confucius after all, and the Ji family seems to have no problem doing this, and did not firmly oppose it; but they are afraid that Confucius will not be able to bear it if he finds out.So two people came to test Confucius' intentions. The two were wonderful and cunningly joined together to watch Confucius.Of course, he didn't dare to report this matter at the beginning, so he talked about other things first, and finally mentioned that Ji's family had something to do with Zhuan Yu.What's the matter?what is the problem?No speech, completely diplomatic rhetoric. Confucius was a man of understanding, and he understood it as soon as he heard it. He immediately told Ran You and called him by his name, Ran Qiu!I'm afraid you have gone too far in this matter, and it is a great sin.The country of Zhuanyu was established five hundred years ago by King Wu of Zhou, who enfeoffed the feudal princes.At that time, on the eastern frontier of China, the undeveloped nations were managed by him, and they had a history of four or five hundred years, including within the territory of China, and they were the ministers of the country. (The term "sheji" mentioned at that time was equivalent to the current country; the "country" mentioned at that time was equivalent to the current local unit.) Here Confucius is referring to the country Zhuanyu, which is also a part of the world led by Zhou Tianzi. molecular. "Why do you attack him?" How can you send troops to attack him, invade him, and attempt to annex his land?It is called "cutting" here because of the name of ancient wars, which vary according to their nature.There is a difference between levy and crusade. The so-called crusade means that the opponent is wrong, or the subordinates rebelled, and troops are sent to beat him, which is called crusade.The so-called crusade can only be punished if he is guilty.Zhuanyu was granted by the previous king, with his historical background and status, he is the Lord of Eastern Mongolia, and he is not wrong, but now that he is in decline, how can he send troops to attack him?There is no such reason. Ran You said: "My master wants it, but my two ministers don't want it." This is Ran You shirking responsibility.He was afraid of being scolded by Confucius, so he came to file first.He said, there is no way, our boss wants to do this, and Zilu and I really don't mean it.What should we do if we eat other people's food and don't listen to them?In fact, this is what Ran You said to shirk responsibility. Here we can see two points: First, see the educational spirit of Confucius.There were no party organizations at that time, but the disciples of Confucius, no matter how big or small, had religious reverence for Confucius; they also have political respect for political parties and organizations today.Everything dare not fail to report to him.But Confucius was a commoner, without organization or power, and he was just inspired by morality, and the students dared not lie to him.But this matter, he had to lie to him, for fear that he would disagree.Second, the relationship between Confucius and the Ji family does not matter to the Ji family; Ran You and Ji Lu are different, they are students of Confucius, and at the same time they are retainers in the Ji family.This move is tantamount to an international move now. They are afraid that they will be scolded in the future, and they don't know how they will be criticized in the future. The matter is very serious, so they come to report to Confucius. But Confucius immediately told them not to do this based on the principles of history and culture and the spirit of the patriarchal society, so the two of them evaded it, saying that "the master wanted it" and they didn't want to do it themselves. Tiger out of the cage jewelry finished Confucius said: Seek, Zhou Ren has a saying: "Chen Li will set it up, and those who can't be stopped." If you don't hold on to it when you are in danger, and don't support it when you are upside down, how can you use it?And I've said too much!Whose fault is it that the tiger's mouth came out of the box, and the tortoise jade was destroyed in the box? Here is the main point, which is the key point of Chinese cultural spirit.After listening to Ran Qiu’s words, Confucius told Ran Qiu that, according to the words of Zhou Ren, who was in charge of culture and politics in the past: “Chen Li will be listed, and those who can’t be stopped.” These eight characters have several meanings: First, as a cadre of others, whether it is a high-level cadre or a grassroots cadre, one must contribute one's own strength as much as possible; otherwise, if one does not want to do it, one should not do it long ago.This is the question of responsibility we are talking about now.Since I have taken up this position, I must contribute my strength in this shift and above the position.If the opinions you put forward result in other people's actions violating the truth principles of your own opinions, you would rather forget about it, and you can quit. If you can't do it, forget it.Many ministers in ancient China believed that the policy was wrong, and tried their best to admonish them.In the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was often such a thing. When the emperor did not listen to his opinion, he took off the hat representing the official rank and returned it to the emperor. There is an explanation, since I did not listen to my advice, I had to walk. Second, it can also be interpreted as the philosophy of war.That is to say, prepare for a war, line up our forces, and prepare the battle ranks.The military philosophy in ancient China is different from the present one. It does not fight against countries and people who have lost the ability to resist.This spirit can be seen from old martial arts novels.Martial arts practitioners are unwilling to use hidden weapons such as flying knives and darts. When they have to use them, they should call out "Look at the darts!" You." It is stated clearly that the so-called smart people do not do secret things, even if it is against an enemy, they will never do things to punish people in private.It is such a style of etiquette.People who practice martial arts in the past, there are five kinds of people who don't beat, they would rather suffer anger than beat - including the elderly, beggars, monks, women, sick or disabled people.It reveals our Chinese culture, and there are many spirits of propriety and righteousness in the fighting behavior.This is true of individual struggles and wars between nations. These are also found in foreign cultures, but in slightly different forms.At the end of the modern twentieth century, both Eastern and Western cultures were undergoing major changes, but as far as I know, although they are changing, we seem to be unable to keep up with others.Like the American hippie, the United States believes that it cannot be allowed to become a problem.Their education changed immediately because of the hippies.My children came back and told me that there is a university in California with 25,000 students and 15,000 teachers.One teacher can't manage two students, and the homework is so tight that there is no way to be tighter.A course that only required reading ten books ten years ago required reading fifty books now.The times are different, knowledge is expanding, people have to follow, so now No more hippies.This is a place worthy of our emulation.Therefore, in our Chinese culture, we must change, adapt to change, and respond to changes.But we are still the same now, our personal cultivation and knowledge are the same.Times are changing and we cannot stick to the old ways.People's primary education is also changing, and it has become a man-to-man method, and anyone who makes a mistake is immediately corrected strictly.For example, if there is a primary school student running up the stairs without following the rules, the teacher must call the student down, give him a reprimand, and order him to behave himself before going up.Another example is that the grass at the door of the classroom is clean and tidy. If a classmate throws a piece of waste paper, the whole class will not be allowed to leave school, and the punishment will be cleared. Environmental sanitation, this is what we call moral education, our teaching work.People are doing it very strictly now.Yesterday I asked a friend who runs an education in the United States, where did they learn this method.He said it was because after discovering the hippies, he inspected education all over the world and found that the education in the Soviet Union had a solid foundation. This stimulated them, so they all changed and wanted to catch up with the Soviet Union and surpass him.America is such an amazing place.We started with "Chen Li will list, and those who can't be stopped." These eight words have been dragged so far, and the truth is under this principle. Therefore, Chinese culture has many truths. Don't think that the West does not have it, but others still have it.After Confucius quoted Zhou Ren’s words, he said to Ran You and Ji Lu that a person who is a prime minister and assists the princes should help the countries outside the country. Like the chivalrous spirit mentioned in old novels, he should "help the poor and help the weak." .When people are in real trouble, they need help from others.Confucius said that in a small country like Zhuanyu, when its historical life is in danger, like something is about to collapse, you should extend a sympathetic hand to support him, but you can't do it, and you have no way to help others.You were originally asked to be servants of Ji's family, not only to help your own country, but also to help others, but since you can't do it and violated the principle, why use you as prime minister?This is him scolding Ran You. Confucius said again, and you just said that this is what the Ji family wants to do, and you don't want to do it. This kind of statement is wrong, and there is a serious problem.Let me ask you again, "The tiger's mouth came out of the box, and the turtle jade was destroyed in the box." Whose fault is it?These two sentences are for example the fault of the times at that time.Everyone knows that a tiger is a ferocious beast; Si is also a unicorn, just like a rhinoceros, very ferocious.These ferocious beasts should be kept in cages, and if they are released, they will eat people.When a country expands its military strength, it wants to eat people.The so-called militaristic thinking, such as Japan before the war, was this kind of thinking.Like a wild beast coming out of its cage, it will of course eat people, invade them, and hinder their survival. "The tortoise jade was destroyed in the box", the tortoise jade is a symbol of ancient economic wealth.The shell of the tortoise is a treasure, and the jade is equal to the current emerald and diamond, which were completely destroyed in the box.In other words, in an era where weapons of war are everywhere, the economy collapses, the people live in dire straits, and ordinary people’s livelihood becomes a problem; when the country expands its arms and wants to invade others, its own national economy collapses internally.Whose fault is this?This is Confucius scolding his students, you are the assistant minister, of course the Ji family will do that, but what kind of education have you received?The result is still done, whose fault is this?These two sentences represent the phenomenon of that era.This is also the case in any era, during times of turmoil. This is a lecture Confucius gave Ran You, and my explanation is relatively simple.If you want to study it carefully, each sentence represents many points of Chinese culture.In line with the past history and culture, there are many things that can be played.If it is combined with the Three People's Principles, there are many things in this article, and the content is very rich.You may as well do more research and play. The Argument Between Confucius and Ran Qiu's Political Strategies Ran You was reprimanded by Confucius, how did he reply? Ran You said: "Today's husband Zhuanyu is solid but close to Fei. If you don't take it now, you will worry about your descendants in future generations." Ran You was so trained by Confucius that he had no choice but to tell the truth.What he said was the thinking of a strategist. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, strategists were also called strategists. For example, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, two young scholars, Kissinger was far behind them. The so-called vertical and horizontal, there is also a noun called the length and length technique, also known as the hook distance technique.In the future, when you read these terms in ancient books, you must know what they are, that is, Taijiquan-the principle of four or two strokes.Ordinary people don't understand this principle. When the opponent hits with a fist of 1,000 jin, they need at least 1,100 jin of strength to withstand it.If you only have nine hundred and ninety catties of strength, you must be deflated.可是四两拨千斤的原理，一千斤的拳头打过来，自己略略向后闪让，让到距他拳力所到的地方一分远，隔一件衣服就挨不了打。卸去了他的力量，然后自己身子侧一下，让开一条路来，两个手指头帮他一点小忙，牵着他的拳头，顺着他的千斤来势，沿着他的去向轻轻一带一送，变成一千五百斤的力量，向空间里冲，他仆倒了。可是这一闪后，一侧身是很难的，我看见练太极拳的人在那里一摸一摸的，如练到能扭过来，拧过来就行了。否则人家的拳打过来还扭不动，拧不转，那就完了。这些原理就叫长短术、钩距学。用长可以制短，用短可以制长。运用之妙，存乎一心了。这也是谋略家。战国的时候，这些谋略家就是所谓游说之士。基辛格到处跑，在形态上就是实行游说，动之以利害。这一套东西，要熟读《国语》、《战国策》，里面全有。可是要注意，学这一套，要以道德为基础，不要乱用，应该知而不用。为了救别人、救国家、救社会，不得已而用之则可。如果经常用这套整人，是不会有好结果的。 现在我们看到冉求完全拿谋略家的姿态出现了，被老师一骂，就被骂出真话来了。他说，老师！话要说回来，颛臾这个国家，紧靠我们鲁国边境的费城，现在如果不把它拿过来，将来鲁国的后代子孙，会成为大问题。现在乘他衰弱的时候，正好把它拿过来。这才是冉求的本意，可见冉求参加了季家的军事会议，他到底是一个参谋长。 孔子曰：求！君子疾夫，舍曰欲之，而必为之辞。 孔子又骂冉求了，他说冉求！我告诉你，一个君子最讨厌的事情，就是明明心里想要这个东西，却装模作样说：“不要！不要！”把这件东西丢开了，然后又另外编一套理由，用很多好听的话，把它拿过来。这种态度是君子人最厌恶的。不但个人的道德不应该，政治的道德更不应该。 丘也闻有国有家者，不患寡而患不均，不患贫而患不安。盖均无贫，和无寡，安无倾。 这就与三民主义的民生主义思想有关，也就是中国政治思想、经济思想的基本。 孔子说：据我所知，不但是一国，乃至一家人家，不怕少而怕不能均衡。以政治观念来说，不能平等；以经济观念来说，收支不能均衡。不怕穷而怕不安，内部要安定。个人而言，要安贫乐道。安于贫也是一件很难的事。这几句话发挥起来很多了，在我们个人方面，作人也好，做事也好，这几点都很重要。均衡了就无所谓贫。不管均贫也好，均富也好，就无所谓贫富了；和了就没有多少的问题；真正安定了，就没有危险。这是三个大原则。
