.Chapter 33: The Soul of the Chinese (Three)

"Zhuo Ru's brother's concern should consider whether there is a saint's politics, rather than generalize it. First... The ancient Yao, Shun and Yu, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Song, Emperor Taizu of Ming, were saints, so the country had great governance. However, there were no saints in the Western barbarians, so they sought governance from the people and ruled the world with the ruler and the people. However, today, the heart of heaven was revolving. In my Chinese, there were saints who came out of China and became the emperor of China, but now the saints who are not inferior to the emperor are fathers. I have a saint in China, so I should promote saints and support the orthodox Chinese. This is also a reality. If Western learning suddenly develops and ignorant people and saints govern the world, it is inevitable that there will be a mess of affairs and a complicated state of affairs."

"The so-called "those who work hard to govern people, those who work hard to govern people, and scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have their own affairs. Since there are saints, all people will be at peace, why worry about the world not governing? Why do you have to follow the Western Yi and follow this inferior strategy to seek governance in this luàn..."

As soon as Tan Sitong's masterpiece was released, every word was attached to the "national conditions", praising the "Daotong", and holding the banner of "Saint Lord". The "retro-revival and prosperous Han" school was immediately shocked.

Many people think that Liang Qichao had already criticized the government, especially advocated democracy, advocated equality and freedom, and constrained the central government. Now, Tan Sitong, the former minister, has also raised the banner of justice and sternness. All the laws of heaven and man are in hand, and he can fight against the rebellion with the right and wrong.

Seeing that the situation was settled, many literati within or around the government began to be unable to hold back.

Lin Keshi, visiting professor of the Department of Political Science at Imperial University and a member of the Unified Party, posted a article on a essay, attacking parliamentary politics: "...The so-called parliamentary people show their own unique skills when encountering things, often bully people, or speak in a terrible way, or exaggerate, or are no longer mysterious, and have no conclusions in the matter... Looking back on the past, all major decisions depend on our emperor's wiseness and arbitrary principle, and if the king does not interfere with the king, there will be no success in the discussion. If the king intervenes, he will follow the order. What is the purpose of this?..."

"...The so-called party politics is because of the differentiation of Western classes and oppositions of class, and there is no sage king to reconcile Yin Yang, so we have to work in multiple parties to represent each class separately and sacrifice the efficiency of decision-making to bridge the class gap. Our country and the world are one, and although there is a system of superiority and inferiority, it is actually a family, officials and people, monarchs and ministers are actually a relationship between parents and children. In such a harmonious society, why do we need more parties and congresses? Is it strange that in the family, we need sons to raise their hands to decide affairs? It is strange... Since our sage kings in our throne, the prosperity can be expected. The so-called congresses are useless and do not benefit the people of the country..."

At this time, even the officials in some places who had real power could not wait to decide to take sides, "think that Your Majesty supports you."

Zhao Xuanyuan, the new vice governor of Henan Province, was promoted because of his diligence in his work during the war and was able to support the front, published an article in the Henan mouthpiece "Xinyubao", "... As the saying goes, the barbarians have a king, which is not as good as the Chinese. The prosperity of our China depends on the rule of the king. The former emperor is a sage philosopher that has never been seen in history; the current emperor is a emperor who is far beyond the ancient and modern times. Our Henan Province has people, and we beg to build a temple for His Majesty, sacrifice for you in autumn, and ask to abolish the parliament, apart from political parties, a sage king to lead the cabinet, and restore our emperor to the right path, and then the family and country are integrated, and there will be no more evil words. If you deceive the king, the world will be governed..."

For a time, in the court and the world, the praises of the saints continued to be praised. The nostalgia for past traditions, the pride of the country and nation, the memorial of the late emperor, and the admiration for the current emperor's talents and strategies were woven together, and even several "supervising countries" were implicated.

North Korea, which has always suffered from "responsibility", is the first to bear the brunt.

Cui Binghao, the "Great Confucian Confucian", wrote straight and applauded: "My North Korea has 3,000 miles of land and thousands of people are all taught by Confucianism. The despicable people of the Little China are still aware of etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and are well aware of the ways of the monarch and ministers. However, there are always unworthy people in China who admire the barbarians and despise China and forget their clans for several sects. Is this a beast?"

A group of Ryukyu "Chinese Masters" in Beijing could not help but take action, saying tribute to the saints, and accusing those who advocated new students of "yellow skin and white hearts, but they are actually banana people."

At this time, the "Huaxia Times", which has been regarded as the "look of a clear stream in the wild", published an article on "Duxiu", and public opinion was immediately renewed.

This article, titled "Abandoning Neo-Confucianism, abandoning corrupt scholars, and China prospers because of this", made all the "retro-rejuvenile Han schools" suddenly feel like they were stuck in their throats.

"Duxiu" wrote in a ruthless tone: "...The so-called Neo-Confucianism is the culprit of the decline of Chinese civilization. The cruelty and absurdity of its study has never been seen throughout the history of China. This study carried forward the three principles and five constants of the Han Dynasty's classics to the extreme, and promoted the 'starving death to death is small, and the loss of integrity is big." The Taoist 'Tao' of Buddhism's Tiantai Sect into Confucianism and carried it to the extreme, and developed Confucianism into metaphysics, so that the thoughts of intellectuals completely fell into the circular theory of idealism and sophistry..."

"Some people actually talk about Neo-Confucianism and science, which is really like a fool. Neo-Confucianism advocates the 'dualism of qi' to replace the so-called emptiness of Taoism in the Taoist world and Buddhism. Qi condenses into all things and then disperse and returns to the void, that is, what Buddhism calls everything to return to nothingness. The so-called 'heaven principle' is Tao, and it is everywhere, and it is the 'foundation of creatures' and the master of change. Zhu Xi believes that people are formed by temperament and the attachment of heaven to temperament is the so-called tradition and rational meaning. The reason why people have ignorance and sin is that they are all the disadvantages of temperament, but reason is

Good, so people are evil, people must completely eliminate **, Neo-Confucianism must "get rid of people and preserve the laws of nature". From the perspective of philosophy, the Chinese people will be completely castrated and all initiatives and creations will be lost, and the motivation to advance and freedom of thought. Human beings can do good or evil, but they are the foundation for promoting social progress. Neo-Confucianism believes that people are sins, and they must be eliminated rather than restrain and guide people. Such absurd fallacy that kills people and all progress is actually called "science"..."

"... The so-called 's investigation of things and knowledge' is nothing more than etiquette and law. Neo-Confucianism believes that reason first and then reason is one. The principle among all things is the same thing, and reason is ritual, that is, the order of etiquette is the most essential truth of all things in the universe. The so-called investigation of things is ritual and law. These evil cults, which talk about social science and natural science, and place patriarchal etiquette as the highest truth of all things in the universe, are really a complete and complete boom. Since the great rise of Virtue, China has no science, no progress in thought, and no longer has the spirit of objective seeking truth from things. Everything is empty, and it is the Four Books and Five Classics. 'Reason is ritual" and "reason is ritual" and "the country naturally becomes more and more backward."

"The so-called imperial and wise things are blooming in heaven, with splendid civilization, harmonious society, and wise ministers, which are really a great lie and fallacy. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's cruel and fierce governance was unheard of. Even if the Ming Dynasty historians beautified by many sources and hidden among the people, Korea, Japan and Vietnam, the records of the "Taizu Records" written by the Ming Dynasty Tanjian and banned by the Qing Dynasty, and later compiled with multiple handwritten copies of the people, the "National History" written by Huang Jingfang of the Ming Dynasty and widely circulated among the people, as well as many local historical records and folk manuscripts, all clearly and undoubtedly recorded the harsh policies created by Zhu Yuanzhang, from massacre of cities, plundering, indiscriminate killing of civilians, slaughtering prisoners, to Daxing literary inquisition, restraining ideas, and massacre of meritorious officials, is actually one of the great murderers of castration of the Chinese benevolent and forgiving gods..."

"Zhu Yuanzhang once told Liu Ji, 'However Hu Yuan lost his lenient situation and I must be strong in order to calm China'. The literary inquisition in the early Ming Dynasty was actually a prototype of the literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty. Anyone who had the word "proposal" in his articles at that time satirized Zhu Yuanzhang for being a thief and was punished..."

"The Censor Zhang Shangli wrote a poem: 'I was favored by the king in my dream, but was called by the oriole' and was sent to prison and died.

The assistant minister Chen Yanghao wrote a poem: "There is peace in the south of the city, and the soldiers cried every night." He was thrown into the water and drowned.

The prefect of Yanzhou, Lu Xiong, wrote "Yan" as "Guan", which was regarded as disrespectful by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and was beheaded.

Zhongpiao Astronomy is everywhere in the world in one day. "The newly built a small thatched cottage in Xiyuan, and there is nowhere to enjoy the cool air when it is hot. It was suspected that the Ming Taizu's criminal law was too harsh and killed.

The monk wrote a poem again: "Jinpan Suhe came to Shuyuan,... I am ashamed of the word "Shu" and praised Tao Tang" and "Shu" was regarded as "Da Zhu" and scolded Taizu for "Wuwei".

Zhu Yuanzhang visited a temple and saw a poem on the wall, "After all, there are still some scatters, why not relax?" He was furious and killed all the monks in the temple.

In the "Table of Exporting Salary Enhancement", Lin Yuanliang, a professor of Zhejiang Prefecture, wrote "The work will be followed by the constitution" and was killed.

In the "Longevity Table", the teaching of the Peking Prefecture School, Zhao Boning said that "the descendants are here and the example is to be done."

The Fuzhou Prefecture Instructor Lin Bojing wrote the "He Dong Table" and said, "Yi Shi Tian is the World" to behead him.

Guilin Prefecture Instructor Jiang Zhi wrote the "Zhengdan Congratulations" in the "Cultural Affairs" and "Cultural Affairs" as a result.

In the "Zhengdan Congratulations" by Jiang Zhen, the scholar in Changzhou Prefecture, there is a "ruixing and wisdom" who is the same as a monk. He is regarded as scolding Taizu as a monk and beheaded.

The Lizhou Xuezheng Meng Qing wrote the "He Dong Table" and said that there is a "sage virtue and example" in the "Sacred Virtue and Imperiality" that was killed.

The Chenzhou Prefecture Instructor Zhou Mian wrote the "World of Life" in "The Legend of Life" and said that the "Long Life Region" was killed.

In the "Talk of Thanks to the Horses", the teacher of Huaiqing Prefecture, "The Emperor's Door" was regarded as "The Emperor's Door" and "The Emperor's Door" was beheaded.

Xiangfu County teacher Jia Hu wrote the "Zhengdan Congratulations" and said that "Seeing the Law of the Wisdom" was executed.

In the Taizhou instructor Lin Yun wrote the "Xie Donggong Banquet Note" in which he wrote "The style of Qian and Fa Kun, and the algae decoration is peaceful." Fa Kun is the same as the hair and the algae decoration is the same as the early loss, and the beheading.

In the De'an Prefecture Teaching, Wu Xian wrote in "The Forum of He Li's Grandson", there is "There is Tao in the world" and "The Tao" and "Theft" are the same as "Theft".

Su Boheng, a professor of the prefecture of Chuzhou, made a mistake in writing the document, and the subordinate officials died.

Professor Xu Yikui from Hangzhou congratulated him on the congratulations, saying, "Under the sky, a saint, and a model for the world." Taizu was furious and killed him.

The top scholar Zhang Xinxun guided the prince and quoted Du Fu's poem "Stolen Xun Chuan Wall" to write the title, which was considered to be ridiculous of the Heavenly Dynasty and beheaded in half..."

"The National History of Wei Suspicion" records that, "In the beginning of the country, the Confucian officials wrote a confession note, and for those who were suspected of being punished, they said that they were despised by the thief; they said that they were despised by the monks; they said that they had the Tao, they despised by the thief; they said that they despised by the thief; they said that they despised by the emperor's door, they despised by the emperor's mistakes; they said that they despised by the peace, they despised by the early loss of peace; they were not aware of how the literary scholars at that time took their pens?'"

"After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, he was harsh and violent towards literati. The "Great Prize" he formulated by himself bluntly stated that 'The scholars and officials in the world do not use the king, but are the ones who teach themselves outside the country, and they will be punished without any mistakes. That is, all scholars must cooperate with the government unconditionally, and if they do not cooperate, they can be killed. Zhu Yuanzhang did what he said, Gao Qi killed Gao Qi, who had originally praised Zhu Yuanzhang and was established as a model, but later resigned because of his disappointment in the strict governance of Zhu Yuanzhang. The uncle and nephew of Xia Boqi of Guixi broke their fingers by themselves. Yao Run and Wang Mo in Suzhou were appointed and refused to take office. They were all beheaded and their homes were confiscated..."

"According to the "Nanyong Zhi" of the Imperial College in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang publicly admonished in the Imperial College: '...In the future, the rules are rigorous. If there are no rumor, if there are any slanders, who dare to have posts without a head and slander the teacher, please give up the head, or bind the future, and reward two big silver. If you posted a post before, if you know, you may have a head, or bind the future, you will also be rewarded with two big silver. The prisoner was slandered and ordered to be confiscated before the prison, and the whole family was confiscated, and the population was sent to the smoky ground. I'm so 'Imperial College student who dares to express different opinions on all those who disobey the ideology of the Imperial College, encourages the informant, and treats the torture of Lingchi and the confiscated family. His cruel thoughts on suppressing speeches and castrating intellectuals are unheard of."

"In the Ming Dynasty, a systematic castration was carried out in the Ming Dynasty. In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the sacrificial sacrifice of Mencius, and later persuaded Qian Tang to deceive the astronomy and astrology, and resumed sacrifices a year later. In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the abridgement of "Mencius". Anyone involved criticizing the incompetence and cruelty of the rulers at that time, and proposed that the rulers should be responsible for the national atmosphere, and proposed that the rulers should carry out benevolent governments, oppose the rulers launch wars and impose violent taxes, and proposed that the people can resist the brutal rule of the tyrant, and proposed that the people should have the right status - 'the people are the most important' and even proposed that the king has the responsibility to make the people have enough food and clothing - 'so therefore,

A wise ruler will control the property of the people, so that the wise men will serve their parents, and the wise men will be enough to liven their wives, and the wise men will be free from death in a lifetime of joy. Then it will be good, so the people will follow it lightly. Now, the property of the people will not be enough to serve their parents, and the wise men will not be enough to liven their wives, and the wise men will not be able to liven their wives, and the wise men will not be able to liven their wives, and the wise men will not be able to survive in a lifetime of joy. This is only because of saving death but not supporting them. Why are you in etiquette and righteousness?" All are deleted. In the 28th year of Hongwu, the censor You Yisheng wrote a letter to oppose it, angering Zhu Yuanzhang and put himself in prison, and committed suicide in prison. This "Mencius Lecture" replaced "Mencius" from then on and became the official version. It was not until 17 years later that You Yisheng's friend made a comment and finally restored the original "Mencius".

"But the ideological castration of the Yongle Dynasty was even worse than that of the Hongwu Dynasty. Zhu Di himself was not upright in the country, and he was not the eldest, and was born to his concubine. He also blatantly raised an army in the name of the Qing dynasty. He was purely usurped the rebellion and took the supreme, so he adopted extremely bloody slaughter against political dissidents, "The Ten Clans of the Barbarians" and "The Melons" all intellectuals had to bow to the armed rebels, completely abandoning all self-esteem and conscience... Zhu Di also systematically tampered with documents such as "Taizu Records", "Daily Notes", and fabricated his own life experience, vilified Emperor Jianwen, and Daxing Neo-Confucianism, published "Xing Politics Collection", "Four Books and Five Classics Collection", etc., and promoted Neo-Confucianism as a national religion, and strictly controlled ideological culture. Since then, the Ming Dynasty has learned that

Intellectuals gradually changed from Confucian scholars in the Han and Tang dynasties to military and national weapons in the early Song dynasties to submissive slaves... The Ming Dynasty used the eight-legged scholars to control their thoughts, "The literati all searched for chapters and sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics. The so-called golden houses were found in the books, and there were thousands of bells of millet in the books, and there were many chariots and horses in the books. There were nv and like yu, so the people they cultivated were all elegant and arrogant, and the people who were corrupted by the people of the country, so that they were all very worried... This sentence has been passed down to this day, refreshing the bones, grandfathers look at their children and grandchildren, and teachers teach their children with this. If they say that if they can have a lot of gold, grain, and carriages, horses, wives and concubines, their wishes to study have been fulfilled, and once they enter the official career, they will do whatever they have to do, and if they are filthy, evil and evil, they will have a hope of being clean and upright, and they often use this as a good story for scholars in rural schools, and how can the style of officials not be bad?'"

"In the Neo-Confucian ethics society, people are born unequal, reputation represents privilege, and have absolute authority over the lower, while the lower has only advice at most. The only constraint on the power is morality and tradition, and it is naturally becoming hypocritical and empty, becoming full of benevolence and righteousness, a belly full of male thieves and prostitution, and the style of scholars corrupts the society... The Ming Dynasty not only inherited the kneeling ceremony of the Yuan Dynasty, but also developed a court stick to completely destroy the self-esteem of the ministers. The Ming Dynasty was proud of such a great humiliation and thought it was 'righteous'.

He has long regarded himself as a slave, has no dignity to his superiors, but is domineering to his subordinates. He is a typical slave like... The so-called rituals, ancestral system, and the 'right ministers' who play such signs are just using the imperial power of the dead emperor to fight against the living emperor, and use the dead card of his ancestors to buy fame for themselves. The emperor who relies on filial piety and brotherhood to maintain the legal system also does not dare to dig out the corners of his family, and has to seek the lucky ministers to divide, and credit eunuchs are almost unruly shiing to gain power. As a result, he is constrained everywhere, conservative, party struggles continue, and state affairs are getting worse."

"In the Ming Dynasty, the kings were mostly foolish kings, and they also benefited themselves. They regarded the country as their own property, and had no shame. For example, Zhu Di's "Jingnan" was abusing the living, and he also opened the eight-part essay to recruit scholars. The people who dared to speak out in the air destroyed the backbone of the literati. Zhu Qizhen arbitrarily conquered the Oirati to seek merit, causing the people to suffer the consequences, Zhu Jianshen abused the evil country and famined the people everywhere, and the officers and soldiers suppressed the blood of the people, and ate the blood of the people.

To satisfy hunger, Zhu Houzhao was very happy with merits and was unable to abuse people's power. Zhu Houcong practiced Taoism for many years and allowed Yan Song and other ministers to harm the country. In the south, he was helpless against Japanese pirates, and was defeated by the north. Zhu Yijun was lazy and self-interested, and indulged in the state for the sake of Yi Chu's heart. Zhu Changluo was mediocre and mediocre. Zhu Youzhao served as an eunuch party to control the government and took carpenters as his career..."

"Taking the so-called 'opening of borders' and the ugliness' by the Manchu Qing Dynasty as an example, the Ming Shilu retrieved from North Korea and Annan recorded that, 'Renxu, the emperor hunted several horses in the west of the city, and then went to Shangfang Temple... The general soldiers, Shenzhou, were ordered to search for hawks and dogs. However, they all escaped and did not dare to leave. So they included more than a hundred residents as hunters. They followed the grassland in the east and hunted for three days, and only a few deer and rabbits... Wuyin, the emperor read the ji in Yangzhou, and paid the huge banquet for a banquet, and ordered them to go to the discount. Yimao, when he arrived at Yizheng, he was sent to the public for traveling, and prohibited the livestock of pigs from the people, and slaughtered them from far and near. Those who had property in the field family would all throw them into the water... Tomorrow, the people Huang Chang's family would be lucky to read the ji selected by the guard Ma Hao, and sent half of them to the boat..."
