Repost: Who said "You want me to die, I have to die"?

One day, I talked with fanatics about the culture of China. Enthusiasts cite the phrase "if you want to die, you have to die" as an example of China's cultural inferiority. I'm sure this sentence will not appear in China's traditional classics, but I suddenly wonder who said it.

Memory search, it seems that this sentence is often heard only in China operas such as Peking Opera. Nowadays, many so-called intellectuals in China like to show off or show off Peking Opera in front of foreigners, which is an important representative of China's traditional culture. In my opinion, this is just a joke, a cool joke. At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou did not stage Peking Opera, but Kunqu Opera. That alone reduced my dislike of him from -90% to near zero. How much culture does Beijing Opera have? If we want to find a drama that can represent China culture among China's operas, it should be at least Kunqu opera instead of Peking Opera.

I think, if Peking Opera doesn't have those faces that don't look like faces, these faces are not so easily regarded by uneducated old foreigners as the totems tattooed on their faces and bodies by primitive tribes in Africa and South China, and because of the primitive ignorance of culture, foreigners will still like watching Peking Opera, and these so-called intellectuals will be proud of the hard connection between Peking Opera and Italian opera.

Who said, "You want me to die, I have to die"? I googled online and found that many people have the same doubts as me. Based on all kinds of statements, it can be roughly confirmed that the statement that "the monarch wants his minister to die, and the minister has to die" only appeared in the Qing Dynasty at the earliest. Compared with 5000 years in 300 years, naturally, the so-called "you want your minister to die, and my minister has to die" cannot represent China culture. The saying "If you want me to die, I have to die" appeared until it was known to all women and children, but it was only the result of slaves' efforts to please their masters. Among them, Peking Opera is a great contribution. At that time, Anhui Caotou team went to Beijing, and the slave offered birthday greetings to his master. Because it won the favor of an old woman, Huizhou opera became a Beijing opera, and as a result, it eventually became a national opera. This 300-year history of the Qing Dynasty is really boring. I used to have a little affection for Kangxi and Yongzheng, but later I didn't.

The following is plagiarism of other people's articles.

"You want me to die, I have to die. The father wants his son to die, and the son has to die. " It has always been said to be Confucianism, which is often used by some people to expose and criticize Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties as a handle to crack down on Confucianism in Confucius and Mencius. However, searching through Confucian classics and Zhu's Neo-Confucianism works, there is no source of this statement, and Confucius and Mencius have never said it. Later, I learned that it was a play.

(Doctor Qi) Cui Wuzi saw that Tang Jiang was beautiful, so he took it. Zhuang Gong knew everything, so Cui Zi killed him. Yan Zi stood outside Cui Shi's door, and his people said, "Go to hell, I might as well die alone. ⊙\8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \8857; \88857; \88857; \ \ \ Therefore, if you die for your country, you will die; If you die for your country, you will die. If you die for yourself, it's not personal. Who dares to let it go and kill it with a gentleman? I can't help but die. " The door opened and I cried. Xing, three come out.

Mencius on Zhang Wan said: "A gentleman can't be a minister with virtue, and a father can't be a son." According to Confucianism, there should be "Tao" above the monarchical power. The monarch should respect the teacher, not the courtiers. Sovereignty is not supreme.

"The father wants the son to die, and the son has to die" is not Confucianism.

Ceng Zi made a mistake, and his father knocked him unconscious with a hoe in a rage. After waking up, he apologized to his father: "Xiang also offended adults. Adults taught hard, and the participants were all right?" Then I went back to my room to play the piano and sing for my father to hear, indicating that there was no discomfort after being beaten. Confucius was very angry and said to his brother, "Don't come in." Confucius taught Ceng Zi: "Today, the counselor's father was furious, but he didn't avoid it. When he died, his father was trapped in the middle of injustice. What is his unfilial? If you are not a son of heaven and kill a son of heaven, what is your crime? " . It can be seen that "inherit the wind" was not advocated by Confucius. Parents have the obligation to obey the "righteousness of the world" and the responsibility to correct their children's mistakes. What's more, the parents' children are still the children of the emperor, not the private property of the parents, and the father has no right to ask his children to die. "If a father wants his son to die, so does his son." If it is Confucius' idea, it is simply Confucius' shame.

Confucius was asked in the Book of Filial Piety: "Is it filial to dare to ask your son to obey his father's orders?"

Confucius said, "What is it? What is this? If a father fights for his son, he will not fall into injustice. Therefore, he is unjust, and his sons strive for the father, and his ministers strive for the monarch. So, when you are unjust, you will fight for it. How can you be filial to your father's orders? " This paragraph obviously says that "filial piety" is bound by principles and cannot be pushed to extremes. This is a blow to the so-called "father wants his son to die, but his son has to die".

There is also a Confucian classic that is often distorted and quoted, that is, "All over the world, is it the land of kings?" On the bank of the earth, is it not a king? "This has become the hard evidence that some people think that traditional culture, especially Confucianism, implements feudal autocracy. The Qing Dynasty often quoted it to criticize the long-standing autocracy in China feudal society and excuse the Manchu Dynasty.

In fact, this poem is from the Book of Songs Beishan, which should be read in the context, expressing a small official's complaint about the king's many affairs.

Mencius explained that "poetry is poetry, but it is not the true face of poetry;" Working in the king's business, not the adoptive parents. ".said," isn't this the king's business? I am the only one who can do it. . However, there are still some ancient people who violate Mencius' Confucianism and distort quotations to meet the ideological requirements of rulers to govern the country and enslave the people. Sima Xiangru's "Difficult Shu Father" caters to the theory of "Great Unity" of "Yin Yang Fa Ru" of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. But this meaning is completely different from Confucian orthodoxy. For example, Wang Fuzhi of the Ming Dynasty said: Land is not privately owned by the king. "If the soil is inherent in heaven and earth. The king's generation prospers and abolishes, and the mountains and rivers do not change the old ones. They live in hundreds of valleys to raise people, and the king has to raise them. It has nothing to do with the king, and the king is not easy to raise. " On reading as a mirror.

The relationship between the world and the monarch, Confucianism advocates "the world is public", ("Book of Rites Li Yun"), which is also known in the Ming Dynasty. Fan Yuheng once reminded Wanli: "The emperor was led by the physical difficulties of the imperial concubine, so he was tolerant and willing to treat the Zongshe as a child's play. I don't know that the world is not the world of my imperial concubine. " . The relationship between monarch and subjects, the basic requirement of Confucian people-oriented thought is: "it is also beneficial for a monarch to be born in the people."

After the Manchu entered the customs, in order to maintain its Manchu tribal rule and the remnants of slavery, while building a "literary prison", it arbitrarily distorted traditional culture, especially Confucianism. Kangxi claimed: "Tao is right, and governance is also right." He called himself a living saint: "I'm just a born saint, I'm a teacher. The inheritance of eternal Taoism is also the foothold of eternal governance. " ("Donghua Record" Volume 51). Since then, the Manchu emperor has become a living saint, and the traditional orthodoxy above the monarchy has been completely subverted. At the same time, the Manchu emperors did whatever they wanted politically and legally. He also became a spiritual "leader". Imperial power is in hand, truth is in hand, and might is truth, which completely corrupts Confucianism.

Therefore, it is no longer a fact that Yan Zi said that the minister is not a private slave of the monarch. "You want me to die, I have to die" has not only become an order that I have to carry out, but also stems from the minimum ethical requirements, and I am willing and grateful to die. Slavery has become the nature of the whole society. "If you want me to die, I have to die. It is not surprising that the father wants his son to die and the son has to die, which has become the spiritual requirement of the whole society. "

After the Manchu emperor mastered the power of Confucian language interpretation, the concept of "family has the world" and comprehensive autocracy in Manchu language reached its peak. "The world, murphy king soil; Rate, is it Wang Chen "with the updated connotation? "

Yongzheng rebuked Lv Liuliang in "The Mystery of Great Justice": "Where is the king's land?" Is leading the land king? Lv Liuliang's love for food and morality made him rich and educated his descendants for decades, but he didn't know the meaning of unification. "He distorted this poem and unification to such an extent that he said," The world belongs to a Qing Dynasty, and every tree and grass is called Ai Jiao Luo. No matter where you slaves go, you can't escape from the palm of my hand, and all you eat is my favor. He (Lv Liuliang) dares to oppose Qing Dynasty and is ungrateful! Obviously, the Manchu emperor changed the mainstream Confucian "people-oriented thought" since the Ming Dynasty into "absolute monarchy". Since then, Confucianism has been castrated into "slave learning".

During the reign of Kang Yong in the Qing Dynasty, "the rule of Taoism is the same, so it is the rule of governance". In fact, it is trying to establish a "political and religious unity" regime. Such regimes are closed and conservative, trying to suppress any heretical ideas, which runs counter to the progress of civilization and is essentially different from previous regimes in China.

What is particularly hateful in the contemporary Manchu legacy is that, in order to exonerate Manchu, "Manchu slave learning" was imposed on China's successive regimes, imposed on traditional culture, planted on Confucianism, and regarded as a scapegoat for Manchu's dark rule.
