Prehistoric: A steady life, starting from Journey to the West

The spiritual thoughts are like towering mountains.

It is the so-called unbreakable.

As Chen Qi continued to read Confucian classics, he became more and more suspicious of Confucian theories, and finally the spiritual thoughts condensed by Haoran's righteousness became on the verge of being broken.

Fortunately, Chen Qi is not a pure scholar, let alone a true Confucian scholar.

Coupled with the influence of various "reasons" in later generations.

For example, the range of truth is all within the range of a cannon.

Another example: use your fist to open the road that doesn't work; if you can't convince people with reason, use physics to persuade, etc.

Therefore, Chen Qi quickly figured out that some other "reasons" had been added to the idea of ​​righteousness, which was only "integrity".

In the words of Taoism, it means that Chen Qi has stepped out of his own way.

This way can be the true meaning of martial arts, or it can be the philosophy of life and so on.

It is precisely because of such a "reason" that Chen Qi's reputation as a great Confucian can become worthy of the name, instead of being supported purely by the awe-inspiring righteousness instilled by the system.

After all, the awe-inspiring righteousness instilled by the system comes from "Mencius", and it is Mencius' awe-inspiring righteousness, not Chen Qi's.

Now that he has clearly realized his own "truth", the awe-inspiring righteousness instilled by the system has just become his own.

From this moment on, he is a true Confucianist.

I also want to be a real Confucianist.

Mencius' awe-inspiring righteousness is composed of elements such as integrity, benevolence and righteousness, kingly way, and grand spirit.

Chen Qi's awe-inspiring righteousness is composed of principles, fists, innovation, and enlightening the world.

It's what he thinks, self-cultivation, family harmony, country governance, and world peace!

It is what he understands, to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the living and the people, and to inherit the knowledge of the past!

It is also the Confucianism in his heart!Dry.

Chapter 71 The Three Immortals of Confucianism, the Way to Enlighten and Prove the Tao! (seeking subscription)

In the small courtyard, Chen Qi finished a set of boxing slowly, and the thoughts in his heart became more and more determined.

He glanced at the Confucian and Taoist "classics" brought back from the Imperial Academy, and his expression returned to his original indifference.

Then he returned to the study and picked up the Confucian "classic" that he had just discarded on the desk.

There are two hundred thousand volumes of Confucian books in the Hanlin Academy, where is this?

His road to read "Confucianism" is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go, and it is difficult and difficult!

"Confucianism is what people need!"

"The Confucianism of Confucius is not the Confucianism I want."

"Mencius' Confucianism is also not what I want Confucianism."

"The Confucianism of the great Confucians and celebrities of the past dynasties is not my pursuit!"

Chen Qi looked at the "classic" in his hand, his thoughts drifted away, exploring the definition of Confucianism and Taoism.

He believes that Confucianism is what people need!

It is not pure morality, nor is it the so-called sage's words.

So, Mo, Hong, first published, Confucius cannot represent Confucianism and Taoism, and neither can Mencius.

Of course, he can't represent himself.

In his point of view, everything that people need can be summarized into "Confucianism" and Taoism.

Morality, current politics, law, arithmetic, heavenly engineering, vertical and horizontal, calendar, heavenly secrets, gewu, science...

Or martial arts, immortality, etc., can all be "Confucianism"!

As the saying goes, everything in the world can be Confucianism.

Chen Qi's thoughts drifted away, and he vaguely grasped a little idea.

My own thoughts shine brightly, becoming thicker and deeper, like an infinite starry sky.

At the same time, the "Confucianism and Taoism third-grade perfection" in the column of the state of the attribute panel in his mind gradually faded, and finally became "the early stage of the second-grade Confucianism and Taoism."

Confucian practice, in the realm of immortals and gods, is only divided into two levels, that is, great Confucianism and Confucian students.

Once you have realized the great righteousness, you are a great Confucian. With the support of grand spiritual thoughts, you can drive away ghosts and gods with one word, and suppress demons with one word.

And what about the Confucian scholars who have not comprehended the awe-inspiring righteousness?

It's just a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken.

"Zuo Zhuan·Xianggong 24th Year" said: "Leopard heard that, 'The Supreme Being has the virtues, the second is the meritorious service, and the second is the Li Yan'. Although it will not be abandoned for a long time, these are called the three immortals."

Li Yan, meritorious service, Li De!

This is the three immortals of Confucianism and Taoism!

According to Chen Qi's understanding, the so-called Liyan is to express one's ambitions, understand one's own heart, and determine one's own ideas.

Just as Kong Yingda, a great master of Confucianism and Taoism at that time, said: "In making words, it is said that the words have the meaning, and the principles can be passed on. The body is gone, but the words still exist."

In other words, the remarks you put forward must not only have your own theories and thoughts, but also be deafening and helpful to others.

It also needs to have enough theoretical basis to be able to realize it, and it cannot be empty talk or empty slogans.

Of course, the most important thing is that you have to summarize your own ideas and thoughts, not to mention writing a book for the world to circulate, at least you have to build a sound theoretical system.

Just like Yao Chong, the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, his words are derived from the phrase "establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, and create peace for all generations".

Directly pointing to "creating peace for all generations"!

And how can we "create peace for all generations"?

So "Ten Things to Say" appeared.

It means that as long as he follows the "Ten Things to Say", then he will be able to open the balance for all generations.

Based on this statement, Yao Chong may become a great master of Confucianism and Taoism.

Of course, a great Confucian who is only a first-rank Confucian and Taoist master, if he wants to go further, he needs to "make meritorious service".

That is to say, through "Ten Things to Say", the goal of "creating peace for all generations" will be truly realized.

If "Ten Things to Say" really brought peace to the world, and made people's lives better and better, and the Tang court more and more prosperous, Yao Chong could use this to break through the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, and become the leader of the ancient world. The existence of a hundred schools of thought.

By that time, Yao Chong would no longer be Yao Chong, but Yao Zi!

If our Yaozi can go one step further, let his theory be passed on forever, be applied to the heavens and the world, and create eternal peace for the heavens and the world, and become an eternal legend.

Then, if the accumulation is enough, Yao Zi will be able to enter the realm of "establishing morality" and become a Confucian and Taoist saint.

Confucian and Taoist saints, if they use the words of Buddhism and Taoism, they are Daluo and Bi'an.

It's a pity that this realm only exists in theory, and so far no one has really achieved it.

Even Confucius, the founder of Confucianism and Taoism, also failed to do it, and was still in the realm of meritorious service.

Therefore, Zhongni can only be called "Confucius", not "Kong Sheng".

At least among the hundreds of scholars, people other than Confucianism do not recognize the title "Confucius".

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because Confucius' words are to educate the world.

How difficult is it to educate the world?

For this reason, Confucius not only established Confucianism and Taoism, but also created Confucianism. …

He wants his disciples to help him accomplish his goal of enlightening the world.

It's just the result.

Not to mention!

Just think about the current situation of Confucianism.

The knowledge of sages hangs in the loft.

It has completely become a tool for the aristocratic family to monopolize knowledge and seek benefits, and it is completely to the left of Confucius' original plan.

In this way, it is no wonder that Confucius was able to complete his "merit" and "virtue".

I don't know if the "Confucian saint" would jump out of the coffin and kill this group of unfilial disciples and grandchildren after knowing this situation.

"It's just that my way will be Confucianism and Taoism?"

Chen Qi couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

It is undeniable that Confucianism's three immortal roads of "establishing words and making contributions and establishing virtues" are indeed a road of detachment from proving the Tao and a way of enlightenment.

But this road is too difficult, and its difficulty is no less than the 48 great ambitions of Buddhism!

It is not difficult to speak up.

If you do meritorious service, you can do it with hard work.

What is really difficult is how to accumulate this "gong" to the point where it can establish virtue and prove the Tao.

This is like the great wish of "Hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha" issued by the Buddhist king Ksitigarbha.

According to Confucianism and Taoism, "Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha" is the "statement" of King Ksitigarbha.

To save wronged souls is "meritorious service"!

It is not difficult to make a great wish, and it is not difficult to save tens of millions of wronged souls.

What is really rare is that it is definitely not an easy task to "establish morality" and prove the accumulation of the other side through the accumulation of souls.

Of course, this is not to say that the Ksitigarbha must make the hell empty, but that it needs to save countless ghosts.

Only in this way can we prove the way to the other side of Daluo with the help of the infinite power of vows obtained by saving the wronged souls.

To put it bluntly, the three immortals of "creating words and making meritorious deeds" take the path of proving the Tao by accumulating the willpower of all beings.

It is similar to the way of faith in Shinto, or the road to sanctification through merit and virtue in later generations of web articles.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi couldn't help but put down the "classics" of Confucianism and Taoism in his hand, walked to the side bookcase, and took out a piece of high-quality rice paper.

He spread the rice paper on the table, picked up the Langhao pen, dipped the inkstone twice, and finally wrote fifteen large characters on the white rice paper.

"Investigate things to gain knowledge, be sincere and upright, manage the family and govern the country and the world!".

Chapter 72 Chen Qi's New Confucianism, Gewu and Science! (seeking subscription)

Confucianism, martial arts, or the way of practicing Qi?

It's not a hard choice.

Chen Qi felt that he could be greedy, fellow practitioners of the Three Ways.

The other is the way of enlightenment and personal power.

The two are not exclusive, but are compatible and complementary.

After all, if one's own fists are not strong, how can he educate others?

Therefore, Chen Qi just glanced at the system panel in his mind, and made a decision without hesitation.

That is, while being a great Confucianist, I also exercise my muscles occasionally, so that when I need fists to persuade others, my fists are not hard enough.

Of course, the reason why he made such a decision was also because the attribute panel in his mind suddenly had a new change at the same time as he had just realized something.
