After tinkering with Hangzhou’s most important civil reform, before it had time to fix it, I received a formal document from the cabinet.
Nothing else, just to collect next year’s Zhejiang commercial tax in advance.
I guess Gao Gong felt that he had not caused trouble in Hangzhou in the past two months, and he also mentioned that there was Baoding Prefecture Orthodox Theology as an alternative. New learning should be able to understand it. If the court wants to change, it does not have to be new learning.
As the cabinet published the new issue of the imperial court’s Dibao, in view of the ardent expectations of the people of Henan, Liu Changqing, the Orthodox theological archbishop of Baoding Prefecture, officially led the team to move into Kaifeng Prefecture. Next, the Kaifeng Prefecture’s The people enjoyed the blessings of Baoding Prefecture, and eventually it was extended to the entire Henan Province five years later.
Concerning Orthodox theology, Gao Gong also thoughtfully asked the inn to send Gao Hanwen a book, which was "Motto for Family Governance" compiled with great effort by Liu Changqing some time ago. Let Gao Hanwen also learn something new, which is an eye-opener. Don't think that you can write a book by yourself.
Looking at the name, it should be similar to "Zhu Xi's Family Instructions". At any rate, Zhu Xi's Family Instructions are also commonly known as family management mottos.
Different from Zhu Xi’s family motto of hammering here and there, Liu Changqing’s version of the family motto is much more systematic on the one hand, and is discussed in three structures: spiritual, earthly, and family. This approach is much more advanced than Zhu Xi's dry preaching. After all, people have to manage their families not by patting their foreheads, but by reasoning based on the theory of the relationship between the three. As for whether this reasoning is correct, let’s not worry about it for now. Let’s just talk about whether the depth is much deeper than Zhu Xi’s.
After the theory in the prologue, "Household Aphorisms" mainly revolves around three parts, the prayers and code of conduct in the church, how to respect the great emperor, and finally how to run family life.
In the church, the biggest feature is the strong admiration for kneeling and worshiping the gods. At the same time, the division of powers and roles among priests, bishops, and archpriests was established. Of course, the most bizarre thing is the establishment of the right of the three to preach scriptures. In other words, believers cannot read the scriptures themselves, and they are not allowed to read the scriptures themselves. They must listen to these monks preaching the scriptures. If you really want to read it, you have to spend money to get a scripture from the priest to pass down to your family and recite.
What’s even more bizarre is that while emphasizing the bishop’s leadership over the local church, he also affirms the chief priest’s authority over the entire church’s personnel management and communication of information. How did Gao Hanwen see this structure and find it familiar?
Liu Changqing also spent a lot of money on respecting the great emperor. The Ming Emperor is the Caesar of the new era. He is the archangel in the world and the supreme leader of the entire Orthodox Church in the world. He has the direct power to appoint and remove bishops and high priests in various places. The core of belief in human Orthodoxy is respect for His Majesty the Ming Emperor. Disrespecting His Majesty the Ming Emperor is an offense to the entire Orthodox Church.
Gao Hanwen struggled for a long time with his memory of European and American culture before time travel. He remembered that the Czar was only called the son of Caesar by the Orthodox Church, and was called the deputy emperor like Octavian and others. Here, the identity of the Ming Emperor is obviousA rising tide lifts all boats.
The family part at the end is even more hilarious. In the family, the man is the little priest of the Orthodox family and has absolute authority. How to establish this authority? In it, the description of how a father raises his son, especially how he often beats his son, makes Gao Hanwen feel pain in his body. After turning the page, I found out how the husband beat his wife, especially how he had to take off his clothes to avoid ripping his clothes and destroying his property when he beat his wife.
Although in the current Ming Dynasty, wife beating is still very common, but to be able to write that it was nothing but a beating, and even take off clothes to hit, I don’t know whether it is for fun or what. It's simply outrageous.
Except for these outrageous things, the entire family advocates hard work and thrift over and over again. Of course, the only time to make an exception is when donating to a church.
