Chapter 161 : Open peace for all generations
Unity of knowledge and action!
There was thunder in the holy courtyard.
“Don’t make a noise!”
But at the moment when the thunder rang out, the two Yasheng waved at the same time to erase the sound, so as not to interfere with Ye Ning.
The two of them showed unprecedented seriousness.
When they listened to Ye Ning’s words, the four words that were endlessly memorable in their minds turned over and over.
“The unity of knowledge and action, the unity of knowledge and action”
The more you chew and the more you think, the more it feels as if there is something to come out of their minds.
But it seemed to be faintly felt through a mist, but couldn’t see through it.
This made the two of them feel like a hundred claws scratching their hearts, staring at Ye Ning, waiting for the next.
But the four words that Ye Ning uttered revealed a vigorous taste.
The whole ancient and decaying sanctuary seemed to be injected with a fresh force.
Above the sea of study, there were waves and waves coming in bursts.
The place of inheritance, the stone stele is shining, and the great Confucianism is awakened.
Shushan stone steps, the hidden brilliance reappears, like starlight, permeating the whole road.
Mr. Tree, who didn’t know how long he had existed, woke up from a deep sleep, shaking and swaying like a madness, and the silver leaves fluttered like rain. Fall
The outside world has long since turned upside down.
However, the place where the philosophers slept was still silent.
This is like a real cemetery. Those who have been buried are only left with this stone tablet and nothing else.
But Ye Ning still noticed a hint of danger.
He wondered if he said too much, and asked.
“If I say this, I shouldn’t be heard by anyone, right?”
Cai Xianggao was startled, and then Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Ye Ning had said everything that should and shouldn’t be said, and finally showed a worried look.
When you just complained about the second sage, you didn’t think about this problem at all, did you?
But he was also fascinated by it, and he kept thinking about the four words “the unity of knowledge and action” in his mind.
“Brother Ye is worrying a lot. There is no one in the holy courtyard for a long time. The princes sleep for a long time and will never come to the world. Otherwise, when the fairy gate cuts off Confucianism and Taoism, how can there be no response? What you said, Your mouth is out, and it is in my ears, and no third person will know.
Cai Xianggao replied affirmatively, and then showed eagerness.
“Brother Ye, what do you mean by the unity of knowledge and action?”
This is a novel ranking.
But when Cai Xianggao heard it, he had many ideas.
It’s just that these thoughts seem to be messy, a little disorderly, and not a system yet. He desperately wants to hear Ye Ning’s high-level theory.
In the dark, he had a hunch, Ye Ning said, it might be possible to change the predicament of Confucianism and Taoism.
Ye Ning was persuaded by Cai Xianggao.
Yes, how could there be people in this place?
If there were people, how could it be possible to watch the immortal gate annihilate Confucianism?
There is reason and evidence.
I just said so much, and the words came to my lips. Ye Ning was also a little uncomfortable. At this time, seeing the surroundings was quiet and silent, he was also relieved when he was used to the back stab. The snake bite for ten years and feared the well rope. This time he was really worried. He thought about it and continued.
“The so-called unity of knowledge and action is actually very obvious, that is, not only to say, but to do it.”
Cai Xianggao frowned.
“How to say? How to do it? How to prove right or wrong?”
Just such a vague explanation is obviously impossible to satisfy him.
Ye Ning said again.
“If you say it’s not important, you can say it first, you can say it later, or you don’t have to say it. The important thing is to do. As long as you do it, you will be able to prove right or wrong.”
Cai Xianggao was a little surprised.
“Why is Brother Ye so sure?”
Because there are countless histories that awake me like a textbook, and pass on to me every truth.
Ye Ning definitely said.
“Because practice is the only criterion for testing truth!”
Cai Xianggao’s soul was shaken.
“Practice is the only criterion for testing truth?”
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn’t say it.
This is because he has reached his knowledge blind zone. In the education he has received in the past, he has never received anything similar.
“Yes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth!”
Ye Ning nodded, recalling the situation of Confucianism and Taoism in this world, combined with the history of the previous life, said slowly.
“Since ancient times, scholars have been a prophet before doing things, or knowing but not doing. They only accept knowledge and are keen to study ideas, but are unwilling to practice. This is easy to know and hard to do.”
“In the eyes of many people, reading is noble. As long as you read, you have a sense of superiority. This is not right.
“Reading to put it bluntly is just a necessity to realize an ideal. Knowledge is a tool. Without knowledge, it is impossible to realize the ideal. But it is useless to have tools. More importantly, we must do it.”
Ye Ning looked at the two wordless tablets in front of him, and said lightly.
“You see, Mr. Wang and Master Cheng are both sages. The reason why they can become sub-sages shows that they have noble morals and amazing talents.
“But this does not mean that the two sages must be correct. In fact, after practice, their thoughts can be seen to be full of flaws. Both of them seized the other’s flaws and attacked, but they refused to reflect on each other. Is the flaw mentioned in the end right?”
“I think, as sages, they are definitely not the kind of people who will maliciously slander each other. There is a saying that the owner is the enemy. They preach the idea of own and desperately want to make it the truth, but the opponent is Continue to study their thoughts, trying to find out the mistakes. In fact, from this point of view, this kind of thinking is
Collision is beneficial, at least they can ascension themselves through comparison and practice, but unfortunately, they don’t. They have fallen into a kind of obscurity. They can’t see Mount Tai. They just want to explain and prove that they are right, but they ignore that even Sage can be wrong. ”
What Ye Ning said is not difficult to understand. These two sub-sages who led to the fall of Confucianism are actually not bad in their hearts.
The reason why they argue is nothing more than a dispute of ideas.
Are there still few ideological disputes in the history of Confucianism and Taoism?
Aside from anything else, what Sage said was once questioned.
Sage said that human nature is good at first.
Later generations felt that it was wrong and believed that human nature was evil in the first place.
There is still no clear and unified answer to the dispute between the theory of goodness of nature and the theory of evil of nature.
This is the difficulty of ideological disputes. It is too difficult to unify thoughts.
Hearing this, the second sage was silent.
“He is right, Sage will also make mistakes, let alone us, is it really that we are caught in a blind spot?”
What is the knowledge barrier?
To put it simply, it is to treat a certain thought or a certain truth as the only truth, believing fanatically and unreservedly, and cannot get rid of it.
This is knowing and seeing obstacles.
So how to get rid of the barriers of knowledge and perception?
No one knows better than the second sage.
It’s very simple. Try to look at the affairs from another angle, and then you will gradually discover the mistakes and omissions of own. By then, the insights and thoughts have been sublimated, and the obstacles of knowledge and insights will no longer exist.
At this point, the two can’t help but recall their own thoughts.
After thinking about it, it turned out that, as Ye Ning said, there are big problems.
For a while, it was ashamed and unbelievable.
“Is this so transparent?”
The eyes of the two looking at Ye Ning were shocked.
Ye Ning is still so young, but the soul in his body is like a monster who has lived for thousands of years.
………For flowers-…
“Throughout the ages, so many sages have thoughts and doctrines. Brother Ye feels that none of them is worthwhile?”
Cai Xianggao’s mind changed.
Ye Ning’s words gave him too much thinking.
Suddenly, he forgot his original intention here, and began to sincerely ask for advice, trying to figure out the problems he couldn’t figure out when he was studying.
“I don’t think so. I didn’t say there is no merit, so let’s just say Mr. Wang. His ideas can make people pursue benevolence and righteousness and improve their own recuperation. Mr. Cheng pays attention to etiquette. There is nothing wrong with etiquette. Being courteous can make a person better. There is nothing wrong with these.”
Ye Ning said lightly.
“I just feel that these thoughts shouldn’t be ascending to the degree of heavenly law.”
“The children of Confucianism should take the initiative to practice instead of pursuing these vague ideas.”
“Knowing is easy and doing is difficult, prophet and then act. This is the normal state. Reading first and then knowing is rare. Scholars should not stick to thinking. There are too many thoughts. There is no difference between the words of one family and the words of a hundred schools. Reading is never a thing. The purpose is to build the Datong society described in the sages’ book. Do you understand what I mean?”
Cai Xianggao nodded, his eyes filled with emotions.
There are confusions, surprises, expectations, and doubts.
“Brother Cai, why did you study?”
Seeing Cai Xianggao’s appearance, Ye Ning sighed in his heart. The scholars in this world are really cruel enough to be imprisoned, so he took the initiative to ask questions.
Why do you study?
Cai Xianggao almost didn’t even think about it, so he said four words.
“Loyal to the emperor to serve the country!”
After speaking, the whole person was stunned.
He realized that this was not right.
This is really wrong.
Is this what I study for?
Is it true that scholars have only this point of pursuit?
“Because of what you study?”
The two elders are also thinking about this issue.
Many things came up in their minds.
Recalling their original intention when they were studying, they were actually not loyal to the emperor and serving the country. Mr. Cheng had been very mindful since he was a child. His lifelong ideal was to promote the Holy Way.
As for Master Wang, he is accustomed to seeing the displacement of the people and his ugly human nature, so he wants love in the hearts of the people of the world.
This is their reason for studying.
Is it wrong?
Of course it is.
It just seems narrow.
At least after Ye Ning said such a thing, it was difficult for them to express their original intention.
Scholars shouldn’t be like this, and Confucianism and Taoism shouldn’t be like this. We should have higher pursuits.
“So, why did you study?”
Everyone looked at Ye Ning.
They are extremely nervous, like a child full of curiosity who is waiting for the teacher to teach while studying.
Ye Ning took a deep breath. At this moment, too many images flashed through his mind.
There are hundreds of civil and military officials who are willing to be the lackeys of the fairy gate.
There are people who have numbness written on their faces, but have to gritt their teeth for life.
There are scholars who are passionate and not yet cold, want to do something, but don’t know what they can do.
Of course, there is this once glorious, but now rotten, dilapidated Confucianism and Taoism sacred courtyard.
Are these good?
Of course not.
Scholars should not be like this, nor should the world be like this.
What should a scholar ideally look like?
The book business is angry, and he lashes out at Fang Dao.
Give pointers to the country and encourage the text!
Why do you study because of it!?
Ye Ning took a few steps forward, he stretched out his hand to press the wordless tablet in front of him, exhaled a long breath, and said.
“Establish a heart for the heaven and the earth, establish a life for the living and the people, continue the Secret Technique for the sage, and create peace for all generations!”
