The explanation of "Shuowen Jiezi" in "Shuowen Jiezi" is: Confucianism, softness, and is known as a sorcerer.

China has always attached great importance to the concept of death and funeral rituals. This wide social demand led to a special social class "Confucianism". In ancient China, there were clergy who were responsible for funeral affairs in the Yin Dynasty. These people were early Confucianism, or sorcerers. They were proficient in local funeral ritual habits, and over time, they formed a relatively independent profession. However, because this profession has a low status and low income, they had no fixed property and income, and they had to rely on others when doing things. Therefore, they formed a relatively weak personality.

This is the original intention of Confucianism, namely softness, and the original nature of their profession, namely sorcerers. It is not the absolute positive image of the steadfast, upright, upright, most benevolent, most kind, and most virtue as later generations believe.

The Spring and Autumn Period was the axis of Chinese culture, and the original Confucianism came into being.

The ancestors described Yao and Shun, and the constitution of civil and military affairs was the Confucian tradition. Practicing oneself and comforting others, and sages inside and kings outside were the orthodox Confucianism. Setting up an altar to teach disciples, and having teachings but not distinguishing is the Confucian tradition.

Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi each made achievements in the development of Confucianism and were known as the Three Saints of Confucianism in the world.

Later, the theory of the three religions and nine ranks appeared, "Three religions" refer to Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. "Nine ranks" refer to Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Legalism, famous school, Mohist school, traitor, mixed school, and farming school.

Until now, Confucianism, with easy-to-understand understanding, is a representative of "knowledge" and a manifestation of status. At the same time, it is also a humanistic spirit and ritual spirit that advocates etiquette, benevolence and kindness.

Finally, the highest creed respected by Confucianism is: self-cultivation, management of the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world!

(There are also the first things that are investigated, knowledge, sincerity, and uprightness of the mind. They are all classified as self-cultivation. If you don’t explain it in detail, otherwise it will be too complicated and difficult to reflect it directly. The last four just correspond to the four major realms and are in a step-by-step direction)

****

In the first year of Tianyi in Dachu, the new emperor ascended the throne, changed the year name to Tianyi, and immigrated the world, and selected Confucian scholars to help govern the country. Those who heard about it followed it.

In addition, the Great Chu has been blessed by heaven since ancient times and has ruled the country with the broadest territory. It is known as the Celestial Empire. It has always been in good weather, peaceful and peaceful, peaceful and peaceful, living and working in peace and prosperity everywhere, and having a happy family.

The Jinyuan Mountains are located in the southeast of the Great Chu Heavenly Dynasty, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. They are an important buffer zone between the Great Chu Heavenly Dynasty and the wilderness in the south! There are many forests and flat lands in the east, including primeval forests and remote wilderness. Only countless small villages composed of barbarians and unlucky people, ancient tribes or desolate tribes, etc.; there are many mountains and wild valleys in the west, including many continuous and towering peaks, with clouds and mists all year round, and various beasts and ferocious birds emerge one after another. There are countless myths and messages that have been passed down to this day, casting a mysterious veil on the Jinyuan Mountains.

The blue sky and white clouds, the green mountains and clear waters, the houses are staggered, the chickens and ducks are harmonious, the dogs and cows are playing, and the smoke from cooking is curling, and the image of peace and stability is visible.

This is a remote mountain village in the southeast of the Great Chu Heavenly Dynasty, Jin'an County, and to the east of the Jinyuan Mountains.

At this time, a young man holding a thread-coated ancient book was sitting on the hillside outside the village, shaking his head and reading aloud.

"Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you."

"It is rich and noble to me if I am unrighteous."

"A man who is determined to be a good person but is ashamed of being abusive in clothes and food is not enough to discuss with him."

"If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand."

"The descendants do not plan for Xia, the barbarians do not disrupt China, the prisoners do not join the alliance, and the soldiers do not force them."

"Be careful of the end and pursue the far, and the people's morality will be more prosperous."

…

The sound is like the flowing water of the mountains, echoing the fresh and remote forests, responding to the peaceful and peaceful mountain village atmosphere at the foot of the mountain.

"Why……"

The book in his hand turned to the last page, and the boy sighed heavily, sat quietly on the rocks, staring up at the sky in a daze...

The sky is still the same sky, and there is no change. The same blue sky and white clouds, there is no scene of two days and blood moons at night. It’s just that the sky of this world is bluer than the earth world and clearer than the earth world...

Now, I am called Xie Ying, because of an antique book made of unknown materials, my soul is possessed by a diligent and weak scholar who "can't eat two meals and sleep for two hours."

It's luck and misfortune.

Fortunately, after the soul possessed, Xie Ying inherited all the memories of her predecessor. Her predecessor was a juren, and the accumulated book knowledge can be imagined. Xie Ying was so cheap that it solved Xie Ying's major problem and gave Xie Ying a great position;

Unfortunately, I don’t know if God punished Xie Ying. This world is a world that attaches great importance to Confucian education. It can be said that the whole nation is learning the classics of Chinese studies and the way of saints.

The status of Confucian scholars has been respected to a very exaggerated and distorted level in this world, and even Xie Ying, who has the best adaptability from the 21st century, cannot understand it.

Now I am in the Great Chu Dynasty and the founding of the country for more than ten thousand years. The specific area is 10,000 miles. I have a jurisdiction over the nine states such as Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, Yong, etc., with vast territory and vast land and vast resources. I respect Confucianism and neglect Taoism and govern the country with Confucianism.

As for the way of saints, since ancient legends, whether they can find the way in the twelve Chinese classics depends on their own blessings, understanding, and opportunities.

Obviously, since it is the way of a saint, it is naturally a state that most people cannot see until death.

"Governing the country with Confucianism? If you remember correctly, the world is boundless, and the Great Chu Dynasty with a territory of thousands of miles is less than one or two. In addition, there are several dynasties of different schools respected by Daqin and Dazhao, which have been fighting for years. I really can't figure out how the Great Chu Dynasty, which governs the country with Confucianism, can stand in such a chaotic world until now?"

"At the same time, we have to admit that excluding the possibility of foreign enemies' invasion, governing the country with Confucianism is indeed the only way to maintain national stability. It is probably the fundamental reason why the Great Chu Dynasty was able to rule for ten thousand years."

Looking up at the sky, my thoughts flew. Even though Xie Ying deeply agrees with "a scholar who is useless", he has to admit the important role of Confucianism. You must know that the human history of the earth world is only 5,000 years old and has been built for tens of thousands of years. That is definitely a unimaginable world from Xie Ying's earth world.

Although the soul of the predecessor has scattered, the memory is still there. From a historical perspective, the history of this world before the Great Chu Dynasty was similar to the world on earth. The difference is that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The most important difference is that Confucius, who was also the founder of Confucianism, traveled around the country successfully and successfully spread Confucian thought throughout the world and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Legend has it that a butterfly flapping its wings on the Amazon Plain may cause a tornado in the United States, which is the butterfly effect. The top butterfly "Confucius" has changed the whole world just after flapping its wings a few more times.

...

"Tai Chi gives birth to two yin and two yin gives birth to four images, four images give birth to eight trigrams, and eight trigrams turn into universe!

Taichu! Taiyi!

Taichu transforms into Laozi, Taiyi transforms into Confucius, and two rituals give birth to Bodhi, and one transforms into nine nine;

The birth of nothingness and Tai Chi, the creation of the Qinglian, the two qualities divide the heaven and earth, and Bodhi determines the universe.

The deity of gods was enthroned by the cycle of reincarnation, the Zhou Dynasty was in Yin, and the nations were divided into spring and autumn, and the lotus competed for hegemony."

"What does it mean?"

After closing his eyes for a long time, these words appeared in Xie Ying's mind again, which almost became a habit after reviewing them every day. The reason why I was so impressed was because this sentence was the first paragraph of the general outline of the "Book of Changes" in the first classic of the Great Chu National Studies classic.

If Xie Ying traveled through time and lost her mind and lost her memory, she would never have heard of this sentence in the "Book of Changes" on the Earth's world.

However, the reason why Xie Ying came to this world was because she saw this passage in the so-called "Ancient Book" on the street stall...

Is it a coincidence? Or a meaning?

Xie Ying was not clear, because the second paragraph of the general outline of the "Book of Changes" in the Great Chu State Study made Xie Ying confused and even unable to understand it.

"All things in the world are respected by the Three Saints, Three Emperors, Seven Scattered People.

The three saints are: the saint Zhuangzi, the Confucian saint Mencius, and the Buddha Shakyamuni;

The three emperors are: the demon Luohu, the demon emperor Taiyi, and the ghost immortal Fengdu;

The people of Qisan are: the killing god Bai Qi, the old immortal Zou Yan, the undestroyed immortal Weng Modi (Mozi), the great emperor of Ziwei Han Fei, the real king of Tianyan (Guiguzi), the saint who defies the heavenly being Lu Buwei, and the lord Xu Xing, the lord of the Heavenly God;

…”

The following records the great achievements made by the Three Saints, Three Emperors and Seven Sanren to this world and the evaluation of them by the world.

Xie Ying can understand that the Buddha appeared. After all, in the earthly world, Buddhism first came from the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Rong Dynasty.

But what happened to the Three Emperors and Seven Scattered People? At first glance, it seems to be the most representative of the fame of every religion and genre. It is not considered a stubborn person, but you can barely agree with it!

Finally, it’s okay that Sakyamuni represents Buddhism. Zhuangzi represents Taoism, Mencius represents Confucianism, so what are Lao Tzu and Confucius?

Xie Ying is not clear about Taoism in this world, but the portrait of the Confucian ancestor worshipped at home is Confucius. Xie Ying can be seen every day and will never be mistaken!
