Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

How could the Confucian disciples not know that Ying Wei and Han Fei were wearing the same pair of pants?

Although this young uncle who was accepted as a disciple by Master Xun did not completely agree with Han Fei's thoughts, he would always argue with Han Fei in many places.

But everyone present knew that some of the books written by Han Fei, which were the collection of thoughts from the Legalists' masterpieces, were jointly created by the two of them.

It's just that this uncle didn't like articles, or was not good at writing articles, so Han Fei was the ghostwriter and compiled his own thoughts into a book.

Seeing Ying Wei cooperating with him, Han Fei smiled happily and said loudly:"……That's right. At that time, Yao was the emperor."

"So how do we explain Confucius’ statement that Yao and Shun were equally wise?"

"When a sage is on the throne and sees everything clearly, he will make the world free of evil and evil. This is what Confucius said"

"If there were no disputes between farmers and fishermen, and the pottery was not inferior, why did Shun have to use morality to influence them?"

"Shun went to correct the shortcomings, and that was Yao's fault."

"If you believe that Shun is a virtuous person, you must deny Yao's insight; if you believe that Yao is wise, you must deny Shun's behavior of using morality to influence people."

"It is impossible to affirm both of them. Confucius said that Yao was also a sage, and Shun was also a sage. Isn't this self-contradictory?"

Han Fei was in high spirits, watching the group of Confucian scholars speaking plausibly, and by the way, he told the people present a story about a spear and a shield that Ying Wei had learned in elementary school. His words made the Confucian students present blush. Hey, some people opened their mouths to refute, but in the end they found that they had nothing to refute.

Because Confucius’ words about saints educating people with morals are really full of contradictions, and this logical problem is really It is difficult to argue, unless it is sophistry.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Han Fei once again spoke categorically, and talked about the shortcomings of educating people with morals, and expressed his Legalist thoughts.

He gave these Confucian students They indoctrinated people with useless moral education and lectured on the necessity of using law and the administrative means of the monarch to educate people and restrain people's behavior. The students were all red-faced, and their bodies were bruised by what Han Fei said.

Fu Nian grabbed his newly grown hair. As the head of Confucianism, he could not refute his young junior disciple, which made him ashamed.

Xunzi remained calm, as if he was not at all concerned that a Confucian man had taught such a Legalist wizard. don't care

"color!"

At this moment, in the silence, there was a sound of cheers. Everyone followed the sound and saw Ying Wei holding his hands and laughing, cheering for Han Fei. These Confucian students were even more annoyed and depressed.

Han Fei cupped his hands, knowing that that was enough.

If he continued to speak, these Confucian students would become angry and use"塡语" instead of speaking the Analects, and he, Han Fei, would definitely be beaten to a bloody head..Although

Han Fei combines the strengths of Legalism, Legalism does not have its own sect like Taoism, Confucianism, and Mohism. The so-called Legalism is just a theory summarized by a group of people with similar ideas, which is called"Fa" '.

It is precisely because Legalism is not a sect, so there is no inner strength and mental method. It can be said that no one in Legalism knows martial arts.

Of course, the most important thing is that Legalism is not suitable for everyone to learn, let alone Spread, if everyone follows Legalism, the world will really be in chaos.

Han Fei holds up his hands and prepares to go down, but Ying Wei suddenly shouts:"……Wait a minute, I have something to say to my senior brother."

Ying Wei's words made Han Fei pause. As Ying Wei spoke, Xunzi, Fu Nian and many Confucian disciples all looked at him, wondering what he was talking about.

Ying Wei slowly spoke. He stood up, bowed his hands to Han Fei, and said in a deep voice:"……Senior brother closely combines Shang Jun's method, cautious approach, and Shen Buhao's technique. He is indeed unique in his insights. Junior brother admires him."

"I agree with most of the contents of my senior brother's thoughts. However, my senior brother criticized Confucius and Mencius and believed that benevolence and righteousness are useless and moral education is useless. I have a different view on this."

"Isn't it contrary to human nature for senior brothers to be close to each other, and to be independent of the law? If this really goes on for a long time, then the kindness of our dear relatives will be gone. This can be a temporary solution, but it cannot be used in the long term!"

"Since the creation of the Five Servers by Duke Zhou, the hierarchy between elder and younger has been orderly, and the relationship between monarch and minister, father and son has been determined."

"The most important way to restrict people's behavior with severe punishments is to sit together, and the legal basis for sitting together is based on the five services."

"The reason why people are bound by the law, regardless of whether they are together or not, is because they know that their parents and relatives will be implicated if they break the law, and they are not completely afraid of the punishment of the law."

"Therefore, those who have no parents, no relatives, and no relatives are the most daring to violate the law. Because they have no worries, they dare to break the law."

"In addition to severe punishment, what restrains people from breaking the law is the morality in their hearts."

"If it is true, as my senior brother said, that moral education is useless and no one in the world cultivates moral character, then if we know that human nature is inherently evil, wouldn’t everyone in the world be selfish?"

"Legal punishment will not restrain these people, it will only make them take desperate risks!"

"Relying solely on laws to restrain people will keep creating loopholes in the law to make profits; relying solely on morality to restrain people can only restrain those who do not want to cross the line, and cannot restrain those who really want to cross the line."

"Therefore, in my opinion, the combination of virtue and punishment is the correct method. Brother, your idea is too extreme."

After Ying Wei finished speaking, Xunzi, who had always been expressionless, finally showed a smile and nodded slightly.

Because Xunzi believed that evil should be restrained by etiquette and law should be used to establish order. Xunzi's thoughts are more special than ordinary Confucianism. , because Xunzi believed that human nature is evil.

From the perspective of modern people's thinking, Xunzi's thoughts are more reasonable than Confucianism and Legalism of this era.

On this point, Ying Wei's ideas coincide with Xunzi's , naturally Xunzi agreed.

However, there are differences between the two. Xunzi’s thoughts and theories are still biased towards the core of Confucianism.

However, due to the influence of modern people’s thinking, the core of Ying Wei’s ideas is more biased toward Legalism, which is Confucianism. Pifagu!
