With two thuds and falls at the entrance of the hall, away from the two main spoilers, the banquet finally returned to the topic of why Wang Anshi’s reform failed
In fact, the more critical issue is the old party’s opposition to The New Party's subversion also failed. It did not eliminate the New Party's troubles. On the contrary, it could not even defeat Xixia, let alone restore Yanyun and resist the female straight people later.
So, strange things happened, it was wrong to change, and it was wrong to change back. If we insist on remaining unchanged, the Northern Song Dynasty court will still be unable to support the three redundancies.
So as soon as the show started, Song Yingchang immediately pulled the trigger. Wang Anshi did not surpass others in essence. Although his beliefs were different, his methods were no different.
But can inappropriate methods achieve appropriate goals?
In other words, can unjust methods achieve just results?
The whole story actually needs to be It can be divided into three aspects: first, the paradox of Wang Anshi’s philosophical beliefs. Second, Wang Anshi’s methodological paradox. The third reason why a court is needed
In terms of philosophy, Confucianism is divided into three schools based on its premise assumptions. One is Mencius’ theory of good nature, one is Xunzi’s theory of evil nature, and the other is Gaozi’s theory that nature is neither good nor evil. Argument.
Those who argue about good nature are often hypocritical.
If your nature is good, then all external things that cause bad things are all external things. Then the first priority of Confucianism is to manage external things rather than to cultivate the mind and nature. Our nature is already kind, and we let the evil of external things go unnoticed, but we cultivate our nature one-sidedly. Don’t you know that if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet?
Even if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Confucian scholars should guide people to migrate to good places, instead of restricting migration in successive dynasties.
Since the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, all those who argue about good nature are seeking fish from the trees, which is exactly the opposite.
In the middle, Zhang Siwei couldn't help but ask, "According to what you said, what should people who believe in good nature do to understand their own minds and see their nature, and unite knowledge and action?"
"Being a craftsman, Become a great nation's craftsman, farmer, or doctor, and develop more good external things, or manage things that are not good for external things. This is what those who are good at nature must do, no matter how bad they are, they must value craftsmen, and those who despise craftsmen must not be good by nature. Commentator"
When Song Yingchang said these words, the entire audience was speechless.
It’s just that people who believe in good nature are craftsmen, or value craftsmen, rather than being superior scholars. This is really unacceptable.
According to this statement, most of the scholars since Zhu Xi, especially those who believe in the master, have been hypocritical.
Looking back, feeling unconvinced by being scolded, he said again, "Song Hanlin is so eloquent, so I ask you which theory you are on and how you insist on it."
"I am And since Hangzhou New School is promoting innovation, it must inherit Gaozi Wang Anshi’s theory that human nature is neither good nor evil.”
In order to maintain the rhythm, Song Yingchang returned to the original part.
Those who talk about evil nature are cruel officials.
If people are inherently evil, only by studying Confucianism can we have a chance to force people to be good. Those who believe in true nature and evil should first educate all people, open the door of convenience, and try to expand the scope ofFull of teaching and popularization of Confucianism. It is best for everyone to learn Confucianism. If this cannot be achieved, then there must be evil people hiding among the bureaucracy and obstructing the promotion of teaching. Therefore, the premise of everything is to find out the evildoers within. Only by continuously identifying evildoers can we ensure the implementation of our ideals. Therefore, it is normal for father and son to report anonymously and report each other.
So there were many disciples of Legalism in the pre-Qin period who believed in evil nature.
Finally, there are those who believe that nature is neither good nor evil.
Gaozi said, "Nature is neither good nor bad. In other words, nature can be good or bad. Therefore, if culture and martial arts are prosperous, people will like good, and if you and Li are prosperous, people will like violence."
