Some people say that Confucianism is a cancer that has poisoned China for thousands of years. What do you think of this?

I think everything needs to be treated in two. Confucianism has poisoned many people and helped many people. After thousands of years of inheritance and development, Confucianism has integrated the thoughts of Legalists, Taoists and Yin and Yang, and it still has many merits. Let me talk about my knowledge of Confucianism from both positive and negative aspects.

Advantages of Confucianism:

Han dynasty? To oust a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone? Confucianism has been formal since the beginning? Rules? Knowing the people's feelings, all kinds of literati respect Confucius and Mencius and are determined to assist the king in governing the world. Ordinary people also began to learn Confucian etiquette norms and follow Confucian rules and regulations and ideas. Confucianism has almost become people's knowledge, and people are also influenced by Confucianism's unified thought. In a divided and chaotic world, people still yearn for unity.

What about Confucianism? Ren? And then what? Don't teach in class Let more people become close to equality, and the development of Confucianism has also laid a solid foundation for the imperial examination system. Specific to the basic principles of life, Confucianism also taught us? The golden mean? That is, stick to your own path and go on impartially.

Because? The golden mean? Let our thoughts be more inclusive, work more practically and scientifically. For a simple example, eating too little will make you hungry, eating too much will make you full, but eating 7 or 8 points is just right. This is the concrete application of the golden mean.

In today's era, Confucianism still has many positive effects, and the Confucius Institute of Literature has also gone abroad to show the world this splendid culture that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The poison of Confucianism:

Confucianism needs to be mastered first? Ceremony, music, shooting, imperial, book, number? Six arts, in the end, Confucian scholars became people who only knew how to read? Corrupt scholar? , they became? Don't listen to things outside the window, just read sage books? Nerd. They stick to rigid dogma, are inflexible and can't keep up with the progress and development of the times.

This kind of pedant occupies an important position in society and holds a lot of social resources. Most of them lack the backbone and blood that men should have, and lack courage in the choice of key events, which delays the progress and development of society.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were rampant and people's lives were in dire straits. Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to bring down eunuch leader Wei Zhongxian, only to find that there was nothing more harmful than Wei Zhongxian. Corrupt scholar? , is the Confucian Lindong Party! They can only talk, but not do anything! Originally, a group of eunuchs could forcibly support the crumbling Daming against foreign enemies. After the castration party was cut off, what about the Lindong Party Group? Corrupt scholar? It will only raise taxes, increase the exploitation and oppression of the people, and have no resistance to strong enemies. Finally, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan Park in despair, and the Ming Dynasty came to an end.

When Manchu entered the customs in Qing Dynasty, Confucianism took the lead in surrendering and knelt down to help? Management? People, people's backbone, people's blood, are gradually wearing away.

There is another key point: Confucianism has imprisoned people's development and innovation. The emergence of many new inventions, which were originally the progress of science and technology and the innovation of technology, was a good opportunity for development and take-off, but was reprimanded by Confucianism as? Weird skills and cunning This kind of thinking stifles too many opportunities, cuts off the bright future of countless people, and makes us gradually lag behind western countries.

Therefore, Confucianism should be divided into positive and negative aspects. We should learn from its excellent ideas, but we should not be superstitious about books and Confucianism. Let science arm our minds and follow the times.
