These words define the nature of the matter, and it is indeed not allowed.Not to mention in Dongguo, even in today's Jiliguo, this kind of training organization should be banned.

Many people, even some small countries, do not fully understand that the right to education, especially the right to civic education and general education, who organizes and supervises education work, and decides the content and methods of education, is also part of national sovereignty.

The right to education is also national sovereignty, not just the function of the government education department.

There are many organizations in society, in the name of seminars, foundations, and various associations, are doing similar things.It is found on many college campuses, and it is even particularly rampant.

This is often ignored, but it does not mean that this behavior is in compliance with the regulations.Hua Zhenxing's involvement in such a serious incident, and his confession of what he did, will definitely attract the attention of the school, but it is not okay to ask.

Hua Zhenxing was a sensible person, and immediately said honestly: "Mr. Niu, if I have made any mistakes, thank you for pointing them out. I will correct what should be corrected, and I will definitely not cause trouble to you and the school!"

Niu Yiping complained secretly, if he hadn't heard the conversation just now, he really believed it, and before he had time to sort out his words, Hua Zhenxing asked again: "Mr. Niu, have you read this study material?"

Niu Yiping: "I've read it from beginning to end, and I'm still reading it on the way here."

Hua Zhenxing: "Is there something wrong?"

Niu Yiping slightly frowned and said, "It can't be said that the reasoning is wrong, but the situation is different. For example, here it is said that you can't defecate anywhere, and if you buy something or wait for a car, you have to queue up if there are more than two people..."

Hua Zhenxing: "No one in Chunhua University defecates indiscriminately, and no one refuses to line up, so there's no need for that?"

Wang Fengshou suddenly interjected: "That's not necessarily true. When I was in school, if I drank alcohol, I would occasionally sneak into the bushes by the side of the road and find a tree root to release water when there was no one else."

Niu Yiping said with a bitter face: "Ambassador Wang, please don't make excuses. The example I gave may require vigorous education and publicity in Jiliguo, but at the level of Chunhua University, it is really not the focus of education. This is a kindergarten. educate!"

Hua Zhenxing: "The example you gave is not the point. The point of this textbook is not to tell people to queue up, but to tell people why they should queue up. Teacher Niu, you are a teacher. If a student wants to ask you why, you can't say no Discuss, that's what you should do.

You can answer it in many ways, such as analyzing it from the perspective of fairness and efficiency, but that will lead to another series of questions, what is fairness and efficiency, why do we need fairness and efficiency, and what kind of fairness and efficiency do we need?

Step by step to the end, it will involve the foundation of all social rules.So I would like to ask Mr. Niu, how do we start from the simplest, human needs, and then deduce the entire social rule system step by step according to logic?

Queuing is just a case that everyone understands. Its meaning is to explain fairness and efficiency, and then extend it to other social rules. For example, why do we have to take exams to go to college at this stage? "

Niu Yiping pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "Are you a Confucian disciple?"

Hua Zhenxing nodded: "If you say that, it's okay. Among my teachers, there is indeed a master of Confucianism, and this study material was approved by him."

Wang Fengshou would like to add that Hua Zhenxing is not only a disciple of Confucianism, but also a disciple of Taoism and Mohism. He is not only a supporter of Marx and Engels, but also is creating the ultimate form of capitalist theory!But after thinking about it, he still held back, picked up the teacup and entered the state of watching a play.

Niu Yiping's expression was a little strange: "You, an international student from Jili country, started to promote Confucianism in a university in Dongguo?" His conclusion really made people feel absurd.

Hua Zhenxing nodded and said, "I can't deny what you said. I'm just curious, why don't universities in Dongguo teach this? If local students have already learned it in primary and secondary schools, why don't they teach foreign students?

Of course, I am not talking about queuing and open defecation. Different cultures have different inferences. I am referring to the traditional cultural thought of Dongguo, especially the process of deriving social consensus from cultural roots.

In fact, I have studied a full set of textbooks for primary and secondary schools in Dongguo, and there is no systematic teaching of the various editions in the past 30 years.Does it all depend on family education and social customs? If there is no official education, this is not a long-term solution. "

Ye Yining listened for a long time, and finally interjected: "Director Hua grew up in Jili Kingdom, so he may not know much about the modern history of Dongguo, nor the development of social science."

Hua Zhenxing: "Officer Ye, can you explain in detail?"

The corners of Wang Fengshou's mouth turned up slightly, as if he had heard something wonderful and was looking forward to the next one.Manman frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on her face, as if she was listening intently.Shi Shuangcheng also frowned slightly, seemingly hesitating to speak.

Aden looked dazed, as if he didn't understand what they were saying.Lang Xiaomin glanced at Ye Yining, smiled wryly, and shook his head imperceptibly.

Ye Yining just said it casually just now, and now he said while thinking: "According to the mainstream views I have come into contact with, in the long feudal era, Confucianism culture became the mainstream belief in society and a tool of official rule, which not only imprisoned thoughts, but also extremely Great hindrance to the development of science and technology.

Continuing to modern times, the society of the East has been extremely backward, and it has been reduced to a semi-colony of the West.Confucianism is no longer suitable for modern industrial civilization. It is something that has long been swept into the garbage dump of history and has no value to be picked up again. "

Hua Zhenxing looked at Niu Yiping questioningly again, Niu Yiping coughed and said, "What Junior Sister Ye said cannot be regarded as fact.

Since the Song Dynasty, Confucianism developed into Neo-Confucianism, forming Confucianism, which has indeed become very rigid. The patriarchal society formed on this basis has also greatly hindered the progress of civilization. "

Lang Xiaomin finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Niu can definitely explain it more thoroughly. Many questions can be traced back to Dong Zhongshu's time. But what you said is not the same as what Director Hua asked!"

Ye Yining wondered: "Why are they not the same thing, then what are you talking about?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Logically speaking, Mr. Niu and Police Officer Ye are both making attributions from the results. There may be many factors for what happened in reality, but you attribute it to one of the factors and believe that it is the main factor.

To analyze the problem, we need to start from Confucianism and use correct logic to deduce it to see if it will inevitably lead to the result just mentioned?If external factors change, can other results be deduced?

Such a result attribution model, I can also make one, whether it can stand the argument or not.

Looking at the contemporary history of the world, the system from military colonization to economic colonization has been formed, and political, military, economic, and cultural constraints and confinement are all-round and unprecedented.

In addition to the Western powers that have completed industrialization, among the late-developing countries or regions that can smoothly accept industrial civilization and hope to complete industrialization and modernization, no matter what system they implement, why are almost all of them concentrated within the radiating range of the Confucian cultural circle?

This of course also includes Dongguo. When it comes to this attribution model, I don’t want to prove anything, but I just give the same example.

In fact, I also really want to know, where do the Dongguo people inherit their social ideals of well-off and great harmony?Back then, why was Shindongkuk able to accept socialist ideas so smoothly and complete social transformation so quickly?

Many Dongguo people may take all this for granted, but if you look at the world, you will find how difficult it is!

Everyone has a social responsibility to the world, where does this consensus come from?What is self-realization has been debated until now, but there has long been a consensus on the path in Dongguo, namely, investigation of things, extension of knowledge, sincerity, righteousness of heart, self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

Because of this, when Dongguo introduced Marxist theory for local transformation, there was no fundamental cultural conflict. Instead, it awakened the social consensus of Datong ideals. It has to be said that a great man is a great man.

But in Jili Country, in the entire Black Desolate Continent, people don't have this kind of traditional awareness, and they don't even think about it.Actually, I have another question. Since Mr. Niu and Police Officer Ye have said so just now, what kind of Ziqiu academy is Dongguo still running overseas? "

Ziqiu, the originator of Confucianism, Ke Fuzi's learning was inherited from Ziqiu.In recent years, Dongguo has set up many Ziqiu academies overseas, which are one of the few means of cultural export.

Director Niu paused for a while, but still had to answer: "Ziqiu College does not teach feudal Confucianism, but excellent traditional Chinese culture. It may be successful in some places, but generally it is not good enough. It didn't meet expectations."

Hua Zhenxing said with emotion: "Yes, the internal understanding has not been straightened out, and there are all kinds of tears. How can the external export be successful? Let's not talk about these for now, just talk about this material. Is there anything wrong with it? The teacher can point it out."

Niu Yiping: "The thought here is not a mature Confucian system, but a very simple primitive Confucianism."

Hua Zhenxing: "Is it really so primitive? You should have seen the end. It also deduces the labor value theory officially recognized by Dongguo, and also deduces the social values ​​in the era of industrial civilization. You can tell me, this system of thought What is wrong with the derivation process?"

This sentence by Hua Zhenxing is not very easy to answer. From this study material, it is really difficult to pick out which sentence is wrong, but Niu Yiping always feels that some key issues have been overlooked, but he can't figure out where the problem is for a while.

At this time, one of the most unexpected listeners suddenly spoke, and Aden thought about it and said: "I don't know exactly what you are arguing about, but I am familiar with this study material and have studied it from beginning to end.

It is very simple, just to teach everyone the principles of life and doing things.The new alliance established a new order, wiped out the gangsters, and will do many things in the future.I think this textbook is to tell everyone, why do we do this?

The world is too complicated, at least for me, and I think this textbook has helped me a lot.At least it told me how to think about something, we say it is right or wrong, what is the reason?

I met Mr. Ke himself, and he told me that this is the source of civilization. "

Ye Yining took the material curiously, flipped through it, and said, "What are you talking about? Didn't Senior Brother Niu just say that Director Hua is a Confucian disciple, and he organizes clubs in universities to spread Confucianism in private?

I'm just a little surprised, I can learn a lot of more useful knowledge in Chunhua, why should I learn these outdated, even feudal and decadent things? "

Wang Fengshou finally said: "It's not that they went astray, but that you didn't go in at all. Aden is not from Dongguo, and he doesn't know much about Dongguo's history, so it's very intuitive to see the problem.

Director Hua is not from Dongguo either. He grew up in Jiliguo, but he is different from Aden. What he wants to ask now can be summed up in one sentence - what is the difference between Dongguo and Jiliguo?

This textbook is used for the training class of Jiliguo's new alliance. Director Hua did not explain why Jiliguo taught these things, but wanted to ask why Dongguo didn't teach them?After coming to Dongguo, he himself, Kilion, Zergos, Lei Wente and others have never received such an education.

Director Hua came here with a learning task. Why not spread the most distinctive essence of Dongguo culture?Let's not get entangled in the name of Confucianism, and just talk about the most distinctive essence of Eastern culture.

As a Dongguo person, even when we criticize Confucian ethics, where does the simplest judgment standard come from?

Culture has a basis for arguments. For example, the countries of Roba, from the world of ideas of ancient Hirah, to medieval scholastic theology, to the reaction to medieval theology after the Renaissance, to rebuild the absolute spirit... are actually all descended from the same strain.

From the pursuit of the world of ideas, to the revelation of God, to the assumption of human nature to establish a social contract, philosophical arguments, theological arguments, and economic arguments all have their basis.

Euclid knows it all, right?Aden may not be very clear, but based on several axioms, he deduced the entire system of geometric principles.

Sociology is also like this. Some people say that the traditional culture of Dongguo lacks such a system. In fact, it is because of lack of understanding, or because later people did not seriously construct it.But if we don't build it clearly, we don't know who we are and where we come from. "

Both Wang Fengshou and Shen Sishu were students of Ke Fuzi. Wang Fengshou had been reprimanded by several elders, saying that he was too strategic and a bit biased towards a strategist, but he was still Ke Fuzi's disciple at heart.

Wang Fengshou did not participate in the compilation of this teaching material. It was Shen Sishu who was responsible for the final approval by Ke Mengchao. Shen Sishu is now the Minister of Education of Jili Kingdom.

In fact, Shen Sishu also made mistakes, and Hua Zhenxing tactfully criticized his hometown wish. Who can be right?As for Hua Zhenxing himself, he was not only criticized, but also often beaten.

Are the three old people no one to criticize?of course not.As long as they get together, they often argue fiercely, ridicule each other, and even dig out many old accounts of unknown age.

But the textbook approved by Ke Fuzi, the other two old men didn't pick any faults. They didn't mean it was perfect, but they all thought it was very applicable and necessary.

Having said so much, what is the specific content of this textbook?

Chapter 431 Talking about Xiaoci

The textbooks of Jiliguo are of course designed to meet the needs of Jiliguo. In the actual training, it is used in conjunction with another textbook, which is Shire's first ten speeches.One of its pedagogical purposes was to explain why Charles said that.

This is not only a cultural enlightenment, but also an introduction to Dongguo spoken language.

The ten speeches are "I am Shire", "Opportunity is Hope", "Our Crean District", "No More Ignorance", "Work Creates the World", "Building a Beautiful Home Together", "Who Are We Friends", "Unity is Strength", "New Everyday", "Master of Destiny".

The textbook must be very simple, so simple that a considerable number of people in Jili can understand it, and you can imagine how simple it is.The basis for its analysis of all issues comes from the introduction of the two concepts of "loyalty and forgiveness" at the beginning.

Niu Yiping had already read this textbook, so he asked Hua Zhenxing if he was a Confucian disciple?

The so-called "loyalty", the center, the fourth tone of the middle recitation, means "to build up others if you want to be established, and to achieve others if you want to achieve yourself";

These two sentences are easy to explain and easy to understand. The former mainly talks about what should be promoted, which is related to morality, while the latter mainly talks about what should be prohibited, which is related to the law. The two can be cross-validated.

Therefore, when people face the complicated world, they have the simplest value standard.

When Shen Sishu was compiling the textbook, he also introduced many Confucian concepts at the beginning, including various Confucian moral standards, but Ke Fuzi deleted them, or moved them to the end as the introduction of "super outline content", leaving only this Two.

It is like a postulate in geometry, which not only deduces the entire ethical system in textbooks, but also explains the principles of order in politics, economy, law and other aspects.

This is not a book of Confucianism, but a social training textbook. The entire text is less than [-] words. It first tells people two simple arguments, and then uses the arguments as the basis to explain the new alliance's policies, even if it is "cannot be big or small." Just" little things like that.

You don't want to step on the fly by accident when you go out, so don't fly anywhere.This sentence can be made clear, and only after being made clear can it become the basis for formulating social management norms.

Someone wants to say again, I do realize this, but when I was really in a hurry, I couldn't find a toilet nearby.This involves how to solve the problem, and then become the basis for promoting public decision-making.

When Kelin District first started the sanitation campaign, public toilets were built in every block, and the number of squatting spaces was designed according to the number of residents.

Don’t think it’s ridiculous, the above contents are all in the textbook. This textbook is not for students to read by themselves, because most of them are still illiterate, but for teachers to explain in class.

Using the same method of argumentation, one can also deduce why one cannot steal, rob, or kill...

Another example is why we should honor our parents and treat others with courtesy. In fact, it is a commentary on "If you want to establish yourself, you will build others, and if you want to achieve yourself, you will achieve others"-"What you ask for is for the son, and serve the father."

In the best possible and reasonable expectations possible, you treat your parents as you expect your children to treat you.In fact, such ethical requirements are beyond the scope of today's Jiliguo society, because many children cannot find their fathers.

But you must at least know how to treat your mother, right?Even if it's for your own children.Moreover, relatively noble ethical requirements should usually go beyond the status quo and represent a social ideal.

People who can't find their parents also hope that they can have parents, especially hope that they can get good care from their parents since they were young.So in as good and reasonable an idea as possible, if there are parents, how do you want them to treat themselves, and how to treat their children in reality.

This is the "filial piety" in the traditional culture of Dongguo.

Filial piety is an acquired theory, which is equivalent to a "theorem", while loyalty and forgiveness is an innate theory, which is equivalent to a "postulate".The system of filial piety and compassion can be derived from the principle of loyalty and forgiveness, and it can also explain various traditional cultural phenomena such as "respecting heaven and worshiping ancestors".

The specific manifestations of filial piety are different in different era backgrounds.During certain periods in the history of the Eastern Kingdom, the formal requirements for filial piety became more and more dogmatic and patriarchal, and gradually took on a decadent character.

People should criticize these dogmatic and patriarchal filial piety requirements. They are even just protecting some kind of decadent legal system in the name of filial piety, which is already a reaction against the essence of filial piety.

When contemporary Dongguo people criticize the patriarchal dogma in the name of filial piety in history, in fact, their subconscious value judgments and argumentation methods all point out the hypocrisy of these patriarchal dogmas and believe that they cannot represent true filial piety.

People have not criticized filial piety itself, nor have they overturned the above-mentioned argumentation process. Except for cultural and social subversives with ulterior motives, the starting point of most people is not to regard unkindness and filial piety as virtues.

For example, Ke Fuzi once saw Shen Sishu pretending to be clever and explaining to Manman the "Disciples Regulations" compiled by the Qing Dynasty in Dongguo. Schools also need a Student Code of Conduct.

Jili Kingdom does not have the history of the patriarchal clan era of the Eastern Kingdom, so this textbook of the New Alliance only introduces the original intention and origin of compassion and filial piety.

Originally, Ke Fuzi wanted to delete this part of the content, thinking that it was too deep for most students and not suitable for introductory education. This textbook must be very concise, and relevant content can be learned in the advanced class textbook.

But Shen Sishu finally wrote it out, and he was reluctant to delete it, and strongly requested to keep it, so it was streamlined and put it at the end of the textbook, as an extension and improvement content in the classroom.

If you just start talking about "Ziqiu Analects", no matter whether it is "rotten and backward", it will be beyond the standard and can no longer be beyond the standard. Most of the Jiliguo students don't know what they are talking about.

The four dimensions and five constants in the traditional culture of the East, that is, "propriety, righteousness, honesty, shame" and "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness", are not directly thrown out in this textbook, and are also placed at the end , derived from those two theories, and then introduced and explained.

Ye Yining was flipping through the textbooks, while Hua Zhenxing looked at her flipping through the textbooks, and inexplicably thought of Mr. Ke Fuzi.

When some people criticize Ziqiu, they often say: "Ziqiu talks about rituals, and what he maintains is the long-lost Zhou rituals, which represents a backward and conservative thinking."

Ke Fuzi once sighed for the patriarch.Ziqiu really likes to talk about Zhou Li, because what he saw was the collapse of order, and what he hates most is the collapse of order.But he didn't see the order re-established in later generations, so he missed the era with the best order in historical legends.

As for Ziqiu himself, he is neither conservative nor narrow-minded, rather open and tolerant. He can be called an outlier in the aristocratic era of that lineage, and he has also completed the ideological enlightenment of later generations.

When Ziqiu talked about rituals, rituals were both Zhou rituals and non-Zhou rituals. He just took Zhou rituals as an example, which he thought was the embodiment of "benevolence" in that era.Li itself is the embodiment of benevolence, and benevolence is "loyalty and forgiveness".

Ke Mengchao's words were suspected of being taboo for the venerable, but Hua Zhenxing believed that what the old man said was very reasonable.Of course, it is impossible to write such words into the teaching materials of the training class. This is his old man's separate teaching to Hua Zhenxing.

As for the Jili Kingdom, there is no history of the Zhou Dynasty at all, and of course there is no confusion about the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty. We only need to introduce the arguments of Confucianism.

All social ethics systems are established on the basis of their theories, through logical progression, adding some new external factors such as the needs of the times, the needs of governance, and the needs of social stability and development, resulting in various deduction and changes.

Some people may not realize that the cultural system based on this foundation has any unique value?First of all, the most unique place, it does not require the participation of "God" from the beginning, it is another belief system.

All values ​​are derived from the two most fundamental theories, and these two theories are derived from people's own needs, which can be called "Confucianism".You can change the name, but the essence remains the same.

Therefore, the unique characteristics of Dongguo people or Dongguo culture, their attitude towards gods is quite open and inclusive, with the spirit of equal negotiation, inclusiveness and even resistance to criticism.

Does God need tolerance and criticism from people?You heard that right, it is true.

No matter which family's Bodhisattva or god it is, it doesn't prevent the same person from worshiping.With the development of society, even if there is no god, it does not prevent someone from making it for you, not to mention the kitchen god and the toilet god. Have you ever seen the god of the high school entrance examination, the god of the college entrance examination, and the gods of the fourth and sixth grades?

Gods can become a kind of intention, a kind of sustenance. People seem to tacitly say that there is no problem in worshiping the God of the college entrance examination, but it is not the credit of the gods to do well in the exam, nor is it the responsibility of the gods to fail in the exam.
