Chapter 105
Scholars think they are very smart and understand more than others. In fact, the knowledge about people is in the end, and they learn to find that they do not know much more than others. Experience can be accumulated between man and nature, agriculture, commerce, and industry. Knowing more means knowing more. The knowledge about people is different. It is the process of gradually removing self-consciousness and embracing all people in the soul, and finally turning it into ordinary.
Every civilization understands its own principles and has countless cultural achievements. Different civilizations can learn from each other. When you know, understand virtue, understand the principles, travel to the world, read other people's books, the fruits of civilization will be placed there like gems. You can pick them up one by one, return to your own world, enrich the people's material and cultural life, and embellish the sky above your civilization. The people understand the principles, and everything goes according to the principles, and civilization becomes more and more brilliant.
Culture is selfless, but it is also the most selfish. If you make sense, then all the achievements of others will be given to you selflessly. If you have no reason, these achievements are placed in front of you, and you don’t know which ones are gems and which are gravel.
Since the May Fourth Movement, the old traditions have been broken, and the ideas of witches and ghosts among people cannot be removed, and their own culture cannot grow. Learning the knowledge of foreigners, such as the systems, laws, history, etc. about humans, take some things back to be the heavenly rule. If you are a wizard or pretend to be a great god, you are unwilling to go through the truth. The most rational reason is that systems, laws, management methods, etc. are subordinate to the truth. With your own truth, others' achievements can be used by you. If there is no reason, there is no use. Forced use is to be a wizard and jump to the great god. History has told future generations that this is a dead end.
The truth is very simple, just a few words, it only depends on whether you are willing to understand. The great man in Xu Ping spent his whole life looking for the principle of saving the country, saving the people and defending the world, and finally turned into nine words. He was afraid that future generations would forget it, and his requirements for the government were engraved at the door of every agency, so that you could see it every day. The requirements for the people, at the end of his life, he would be part of the people and practice his own principles. Such good and bad things are also seen in others' eyes. Many things are so easy, why not use their own power and influence to correct and stop it? Because the truth is the greatest, how can the truth be broken? Without reason, the world cannot be defended, and in the end, it will be a dead end.
No one is born a sage. He has to learn and grow up. He must grow up among the people. People will say wrong things, do wrong things, fall down, and admit mistakes without shame. Similarly, the words of great men cannot be regarded as the rules of heaven. The destiny of heaven is no longer there, and it is no longer there. You cannot pretend to be a wizard. As long as the truth is there, everything else can be changed, and the works of great men are the same. He can't count the words he said, but whoever dares to move the principles of those nine words must have a set of principles that run through all political affairs and are recognized by the people, otherwise the rule of the well-off era will be out of reach.
At the end of his life, the great man may have looked at his comrades, whether he supports or opposes himself, or acts as a witch or dances. It is also helpless. Who is better than the witch or dances? Even if people understand later, they probably don’t want to say it. To be honest, they will be considered a swearing. What are the ways? There are two ways to live in this world, being a master or a guest is both a living. As a passerby, things in the world are just a performance.
Different civilizations have different principles. Without their own principles, taking one piece from the east and another piece from the west will not make a fuss. To serve the people, civil servants are not public servants of the people, because servants and masters are unequal and different. Leaders and cadres themselves are the people, are part of the people, and they are also part of the masters.
To uphold the world of civilization, investigate and control chaos and distinguish temperament, and use this channel to reason. Economic growth, people live better and better, and there are no fierce contradictions in the country, so we should investigate and control chaos. We should also distinguish temperament, what kind of people the people are and what kind of people they will become.
Europeans developed freedom, equality and fraternity in their temperament from the ruins of Roman and Greek civilizations, forming the principles of social contract theory, and at the same time accommodate religion. Only with contracts can there be public servants, not contract theory, where does the public servants come from? Taxpayers are also under the principles of contract theory. Do you have to learn from your own principles? Giving up your own principles and following the principles of others, you must learn from their own principles, learn from their temperament, make contracts, and find God. In the end, you are not you, and become another kind of person. If you don’t understand the principles, you are a foreign witch. Some people have a heavenly constitution and engrave the mock for the people of the world. If you want to live like this, you have to think like this. You fools, the backward culture, have no spirit of contract, no spirit, no spirit, follow the revelation of the great witch, and wake up from ignorance.
The people have been awake, and they are not sleeping. The people are just waiting for a reason that suits their own principles, and live together according to the principles and move towards a better future. What is the future? Who knows. Why do you define a future? You say that it will be like this in the end? Maybe everyone will be united and come to Datong, and suddenly a door will appear, and everyone will enter a divine realm. Why not? Don’t use the heavenly constitution of this ideology and that ideology to make rational decisions.
Instead of using one's own principles, they seek governance in the country. There are countless examples in the pre-Qin period, which is the technique of governance. The person who uses it is the guest official. Shang Yang was the guest official of Qin and could not find reason from the guest official. Guest official did not need to be reasonable. The Legalists had no reason. They were just the governing technique of Xunzi. They had their own principles and could use it to strengthen the country. Qin was unified, and after the Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty, they found that the world was unreasonable, so they used Confucianism to make up the truth. Confucianism was a false word, and the truth was only in classics. Therefore, the destiny built by Confucianism for the Han Dynasty was the false heaven, and if it took it seriously, the heaven would be gone.
Without the truth recognized by the people of the world, the rulers are guest officials, and they only use the techniques of governance. If the rulers want to find their own principles, then all the techniques of governance in the world can be used. Without reason, everything is just a change of power.
This is the case with the people of heaven and earth. If you regard the world as your own, then the people of the world are all passers-by. If the private world wants to be able to defend, then treat the guests well. The guests give their labor and wisdom to the host and enjoy the rewards they receive from the host. If you are not satisfied, change the host to visit. You not only regard the world as your own, but also regard the people of the world as your own. That is sorry, they will not willingly make the host become their master. If the host does not allow the guest to leave, then one day the guest will drive the host away and be the master himself. This is a pity.
Everyone can explain reason, write down what your Tao is and what your principles are. If you integrate this principle into the world, you are a family. If there is no reason, why should you call a family? A certain family in the world originally refers to the truth. What do you mean by the ancients? Now the meaning can be changed. Morality, principles, culture, etiquette, we all redefine it. What is morality in the words of foreigners, what is the truth in the words of foreigners, what is the culture in the words of foreigners, we follow the words of foreigners. So why bother? Isn’t it good to use foreigners directly? Why do you have to keep the heavenly constitution in your mouth and let the people here live and think according to your words? You speak in the words of foreigners, and record in the words of foreigners, so that the people of the world will leave their own civilization memories. On this land where the owner has lost their masters, is it okay to wait for them?
There is no need for a master in the world, or it can be a masterless person. Everyone is a guest and being in peace is also a way of living.
