Chapter 181 Four Teachings Out of the Mountain, Hundreds of Schools of Thought

However, he said that I was distracted and incarnated as Lao Yan. At the age of 13, he was very knowledgeable. Seeing this, he recommended him to study in Luoyi. Therefore, Lao Yan said goodbye to his mother and embarked on the road of study.

A few months later, Lao Yanxing went to Luoyi, visited the doctor, entered Taixue, astronomy, geography, humanistic, everything, cultural relics, classics, historical books, three years of great progress. The doctor also recommended him to guard the cell as an official. The collection room is the collection of classics of the Shang Dynasty. It collects the world's articles, collects the world's books, and is full of sweat. Among them, the old man is like a dragon swimming into the sea, and the sea is wide and leaping with the dragon; like an eagle spreading its wings and a blue sky, the sky is high enough for birds to fly.

The old man is hungry and thirsty, extensive, gradually becoming a good place, the source of etiquette and music, and the purpose of morality. Three years later, he moved to guard the history of the collection room. He is famous and spreads in the sea.

After

, the old man lived in Luoyi for a long time, the knowledge was deep, and the reputation was loud. In the Spring and Autumn Period, those who are knowledgeable are called "sons" to show respect. Therefore, people call Lao Yan "Laozi", which is also regarded as his real name.

At this time, I am also a kind-hearted person. Seeing that the world is in chaos, all the people in power in various countries work hard to reform, but in order to share the world in this turbulent world. In this way, it has made the people of the world suffer. Together with the war, countless people have been displaced. The young people in the country are even more empty, and the world is full of defeat.

Seeing this situation, I thought about it for a long time, sorted out and summarized what I had learned, and finally created a school of doctrine, which was called Taoist in the name of Taoism.

Taoists take "Tao" as the guide to explain the essence, origin, composition and change of all things in the universe, and believe that "Tao" is the root of everything. And 'Tao' is also a cycle. Taoists emphasize that everything does not need to be forced, and should conform to nature and reach the highest level of 'Tao'.

Taoists also advocate spiritual detachment, not bounded by form, but only seeking free and spiritual openness. Taoists believe that 'Tao' is invisible and invisible, the absolute spirit of time and space, and the highest ontology of the universe and the root of everything. Everything in the world has opposites, and everything must be reversed. Therefore, people must be "satisf), weak and indisputable, and obey nature, and abandon all the shackles of etiquette to avoid disasters.

In view of the general trend of the world today, the continuous wars and the hardships of the people's livelihood, I advocated that people must be wise, strong, stubborn, and return to the realm of simplicity and ignorance, and called on the princes of the world to govern the world with "indifference", so that the world can be peaceful and stable. However, Laozi's ultimate goal is to hope that the world will return to the original social state of "small country and few people". Unfortunately, in troubled times, human life is like grass, and most of the old people's ideas are not adopted by the monarchs of various countries. Although the old people are famous outside the world, there is no respect for it, but the rulers are very indifferent to it.

Just after I founded the Taoism, all the saints felt something. I have the heart to preach in the lower world, but the words of the Taoist ancestors are especially in my ears. I want to be distracted in the lower world like Lao Tzu, but I don't want to damage my own cultivation. You should know that the reason why I can divide the lower world is to rely on the unique secret art of 'one gas to turn three clear'. If the saints are divided into the lower world, it is to tear the edshen, and at least thousands of years of cultivation will be damaged. Therefore, all the saints are hesitant.

Among the saints, only Tongtian did not respond to this. At this time, he only hoped that the back soil refining the universe tripod would come out of the customs early to see if his guess was accurate, but the back soil had been closed for more than 600 years, but it still failed to break out, which made Tongtian anxious. If you are anxious about this, how can you take care of everything else!

Tongtian ignored this matter, but his disciples did not sit idly by. As early as the great disaster of the gods was approaching, Tongtian ordered the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit and others to pass on the interception of Taoism, but the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit and others only received a few three generations of disciples, but it did not have a great effect on the spread of sects. In this way, all the disciples were ashamed of this and thought that they had failed to live up to the teacher's expectations. Therefore, all the disciples are unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Among the disciples of heaven, the most guilty is the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit. The surname of the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit is weak. In addition to practicing enlightenment, she doesn't care much about anything else. But as a senior sister, she can't do things according to her own preferences, and she needs some responsibility.

Therefore, after learning that I was preaching in the world, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit thought for a moment and decided to go down to earth in person. As for the order of the Taoist ancestor, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle can also be understood as above the cultivation of immortals and cannot take action in the mortal world. Just as the saints can't fight in the fairyland, they can only end in chaos. With this idea, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit no longer took care of it and told Yang Xiaolian to practice well, and then went down to the world alone to preach the teachings of interception.

The movement of the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit was like a fuse. The disciples of the four sects came to the mortal world one after another and began to compete for the position of academic orthodoxy in the world. Although they are competing, the disciples of the four sects have never fought with each other. After all, they have violated the will of the Taoist ancestors. If they take action again, isn't it like looking for death? And the saints had similar orders when they came down to the earth. Therefore, everyone mainly preaches doctrine and has no fighting method.

As the disciples of the four sects went down to the earth, the world suddenly became lively, and various doctrines emerged one after another, constituting the first literary style since the development of the human race.

Among them, after the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit went down to earth, she met a man in the land of Yangcheng, named Wang Xu. The king's qualifications are also excellent. When the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit was happy to hunt, she accepted her as a named disciple and passed on her Taoist knowledge. Although Wang Xu's qualifications are good, his understanding of Taoism is only average, but he is very interested in those strategies, military tactics and education techniques, and can often draw inferences.

Seeing this, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit thought of her intention of this lower world, and her heart moved, so she taught all the many academics she had learned in the sky. In this way, Wang Xu is even more like a fish in water. Within a few years, his knowledge is no less than that of the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit. The Mother of the Turtle Spirit was naturally very happy about this. With the king's propaganda, although she did not say that she would carry forward the interception, she could also do her part. In this way, she also made a contribution to the interception, so she taught the king more attentively.

After Wang Xu learned it, after the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit told her, she went back to the fairyland.

After the departure of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, it was convenient for Wang Xu to live in the Ghost Valley a hundred miles away from Yangcheng and said to be Mr. Ghost Valley. And he kept talking about receiving apprentices. His disciples such as Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Wei Yaozi, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Mao Sui, etc. are all famous figures. Unfortunately, Wang Xu's learning was too extensive to form a school. Although Mr. Guigu's name was passed down in the world, he failed to become the mainstream of the world.

After learning about the lower world of the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit, the other disciple Wudang, also took the opportunity to see his disciple Xuansu (Taji) Deng Chanyu and went down to the mortal world. After meeting the two disciples in Lishan, the Virgin Mary began to travel around the world. When I arrived at the city, I heard that there was a person here who was very easy to learn. As the saying goes, "There must be my teacher for three people."

The Virgin Mary is dumb, and she has never thought that someone in the mortal world would say such words, which is really unexpected. At the moment, the Virgin Mary found the person who said this. This person's name was Kong Qiu. When the Virgin Mary taught Kongqiu's knowledge, she was immediately overjoyed. This Kongqiu not only had great knowledge, but also coincided with the teachings of the interception. Even if the Virgin Mary took Kongqiu as a disciple, she would teach all the academics.

Kong Qiu was taught by the Virgin Mary, created his own Confucianism, took the six arts as the law, advocated "courtesy and music" and "benevolence and righteousness", advocated "loyalty and forgiveness" and impartial "mediocre", advocated "moral governance" and "benevolence", and attached importance to moral and ethical education and people's self-cultivation.

Confucianism has a strong ** function of educating the land. It believes that heavy education and light punishment are the only way for the stability of the country and the prosperity of the people. It advocates that "there is no religion and no class". The rulers and the ruled should be educated, so that the whole country should become morally noble people. Politically, it advocates governing the country with courtesy. Only when everyone is polite can we unify the world and settle the country. And people from all walks of life should do their part to achieve the harmonious situation of "monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons", which is the idea of right name.

Confucianism advocates mutual care for people and achieves a common world, which is "benevolence." "Benevolence" is the core content of Confucianism and the general outline of ethics and morality. "Benevolence" is "loving people". You mainly exercise people's feelings, cherish people's strength, and oppose tyranny. If you want to practice benevolence, you need "loyalty" and "forgiveness." "Loyalty" is to do your part; "Forgiveness" is to push yourself and others. Advocate the use of "courtesy" and "plea" to restrain people's behavior. Cultivate people's surnames.

Although Tongtian did not accept ten thousand immortals as his disciples in this life, his claim is still that there is no religion and no class, and most of the disciples of the intercepts are demons, and Kong Qiu has well inherited this claim of "no religion and no kind" and believes that the religion should not be divided into nobles, lowly, sages and fools. He believes that "teaching according to one's aptitude" is an ideal teaching method, and he also advocates learning methods such as "revisiting the old and knowing the new" and "refering one from the other". For ghosts and gods, he holds the attitude of "being regardless of it" and advocates to stay away, but attaches great importance to sacrificing ancestors.

Han Fei and Gongsun Long, who founded legalists and famous families, are interpreters. Han Feizi is a disciple of Guangchengzi, and Gongsun Long is a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren.

The legalists advocate "the rule of law" and put forward a set of theories and methods. Legalists attach importance to the law, oppose the "courtesy" of Confucianism (all opposed to the interception of religion), oppose the hereditary privilege of the aristocracy's monopoly of economic and political interests, and demand the private ownership of land and the award of official positions according to merit and talent. The role of the law is to "deppoint and stop disputes", that is, to clarify the ownership of objects. Xinggong is afraid of violence, which encourages people to make achievements in war, and makes those outlaws feel afraid. The ultimate purpose of Xinggong is to enrich the country and strengthen the army and win the war of annexation.

Han Fei learned about the embarrassing position of the interpretation, and summarized the reasons for the failure of the interpretation several times. He believed that the failure of his predecessors was because he could stick to the old. Therefore, legalists oppose conservative retro ideas and advocate for reform.

Han Fei believes that history is moving forward, and all laws and systems should develop with the development of history. They can neither go backwards nor put forward the proposition of "unlawless ancient, not following the present" because of the old. Han Fei gathered the Mahayana of the Dharma family and proposed that "time shifts and the difficult to deal with chaos", satirizing the old-fashioned Confucianism as a stupid person waiting for the rabbit. In fact, while Han Fei's idea is against the interception, it also secretly shows his dissatisfaction with the old-fashioned behavior of the teacher.

And the famous exponents are the school that advocates the doctrine of "righteousness and truth", which is "righteous of each other's right and wrong, so that the name and reality is consistent". During the chaos, the situation was turbulent and chaotic, and many rituals existed in name only. Famous people have risen from this, emphasizing that things should be "true" so as to put everything in the world on the right track.

The difference between famous families and each family lies in the "true name" method. The content of their main arguments is mostly issues that have nothing to do with political practice. Therefore, the theory of famous families has been unanimously nicknamed a "stry" by other families.

And Mo Zhai of the Mo family belongs to the Western Buddhism. This Mo Zhai is a disciple of Shakyamuni.

The Mo family's idea is Shang Xianshangtong, proposing "and love at the same time", arguing that love should not have the difference between closeness, up and down, noble and low, and hierarchy. He believes that the reason why the world is in chaos is that people don't love each other. This is also in line with the consistent tradition of the West. Whether it is a human or a demon, it can enter the door of the West. Although it is related to the barren land of the West, it is also equivalent to the "teaching and no class" of Tongtian, which has attracted many people to join.

In terms of governing the country, Mo Zhai advocated "Shangxian" and class ideas, made the world rule, advocated "non-attack" and opposed to all wars of aggression. Oppose luxury life, advocate thrift, and put forward the ideas of "saving", "funeral" and "non-plea" In order to seek blessings and avoid disasters, the Mo family also advocates "respecting the heaven" and "ghosts".

In addition, the disciples of the Four Religions have also evolved many sects, such as the Yin and Yang family, the Zongheng family, the peasant family, the soldier family, the doctor family and so on.

For a while, hundreds of families in the world competed.
