Chapter 409 Fresh Challenges

Zhao Gou outside the city, the latter's eyes were no longer on war.

Because the war was no longer surprised to him, unlike in the late Ming Dynasty, when he was very interested in wars. However, in this time and space, the appearance of the thunder in the sky successfully resolved the Jingkang shame, which also made him feel "boring" about the war. Now, compared with the war fighting, what he is more curious about is to concoct the souls of scholars.

But this was a very new challenge for Zhao Gouyan. Because in the late Ming Dynasty, in the previous year, all the reforms he carried out were made with his strength.

It is what is called - those who follow me will prosper and rebellious will perish.

But now he wants to concoct the inner thoughts of scholars, but he plans to change his method. Because he stayed in this world for too short, and a few ten years of situations were not enough for him to completely conquer the civil servant group. He is afraid that after he leaves, the Song Dynasty will return to the old path again.

Therefore, this time he was forced to use thunder methods, but the softening methods will not be missing.

Because using both soft and hard is a more efficient way to open it, and you will get better results and results.

This is how Qin Hui brought it back, and this is an attempt.

The policies in Hedong, Hebei have shown some of his own attitudes. Now it depends on who is willing to take the initiative to jump on his own ship.

The policy theory is very vulgar, so I just want to enrich the country and strengthen the army. How can I enrich the country and strengthen the army as soon as possible under the current situation? But it is difficult to ask questions. Zhao Song was asking these scholars why the Central Plains could repeatedly beat the barbarians outside the Great Wall during the Han and Tang Dynasties. But in Zhao Song, the country was obviously very rich, but the people were not rich and had enough money and food, but they were frequently beaten by barbarians to find teeth?

These and the two are very expansive topics. You can talk about the way to establish a country in the old tune, respect etiquette rather than power and strategy. The fundamental goal lies in people's hearts rather than skills. You advocate "taking loyalty and trustworthiness as armor, and etiquette as slaughter", and be virtuous in the world, the people's hearts will be peaceful, and the world will be peaceful. You can also hold the new reform policy to write a big book.

It all depends on your own choices and your own courage.

Because this thing is publicly signed, everyone has seen what you wrote. If your writing style, your thoughts, your ideas, etc. are in public, there is no privacy at all. Therefore, you can't just say it or just say it.

In such an environment, who is brave, who is timid, and who is from which group of people can see clearly.

Although there will be many more speculators under their command, like the new party in the first place, countless people flock to it, but in fact, what is it? They pursue their own fame and fortune, rather than Wang Anshi's reform and power. But for Zhao Gou, speculators are also better than hostile ones, right?

And with these people coming to rely on, it will also strengthen his own foundation.

The late Northern Song Dynasty was different from the late Ming Dynasty. Neo-Confucianism, which overwhelmed the heroes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, had not yet developed to mature in this era, and the government did not regard Neo-Confucianism as an official school to promote it.

There is even a lot of controversy about Neo-Confucianism in Shilin.

Although Zhou Dunyi and Ercheng were generally recognized by scholars and officials, this recognition was more based on their personal ethics than their academic philosophy.

Just like Sima Guang, who does not talk about governance philosophy, but only talks about personal morality, loyalty, filial piety, respect, frugality and integrity, is almost perfect. This has been recognized by all the scholars and officials, that is, the common people in the market lead the people to be prime minister day and night, and call for the road, hoping that they will not go to the court.

Zhao Gou was originally concerned about the Neo-Confucianism of the Song Dynasty, but when he came to this era and got Zhao Gou's own memory, this concern completely disappeared.

Because the Confucian Song was a "betrayer", in the early Zhao and Song dynasties, Confucianism followed the Li Tang theory, but by the middle period, Confucian Song had completely abandoned the former and completely swept the Confucians of Han and Tang dynasties into the garbage dump.

Use the new explanation of Confucian classics, namely the so-called "study of righteousness" to replace the traditional chapters and sentences, the Confucian way to replace the "heretics" such as Buddhism and Taoism, and use the "activity" of Confucianism to replace the old studies that are not used in the world.

To put it bluntly, these goals are better to say that they are self-needs arising from the development of civil servant politics to a certain level.

When the Zhao and Song Dynasty, which had a prosperous imperial examination, had no family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the changes in foundations would naturally involve the transformation of Confucianism.

After the early reproduction and reproduction, the power of Confucianism naturally occupied the dominant position in society. However, in the early Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Laoda and Zhao Laoer advocated the use of the three religions in order to stabilize social order, and built a large number of temples and statues to attract monks and Taoists, compile Buddhist scriptures and Taoists, and the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism developed greatly. With the growth of the power of Buddhism and Taoism, their social influence continued to expand. From emperors and court officials to literati and doctors to

Many people in the lower class were immersed in it, and the thinking philosophy of the two religions attracted the theoretical interest of many Confucian scholars at that time. At that time, scholars talked about Zen together and admired the profoundness of the world. Many famous scholars who were quite prestigious in society also studied the inner principles and were deeply influenced by it. Some Confucians blurred the boundaries of the three religions, believing that the three religions can be like each other and can be in parallel. Various situations show that Confucianism has been challenged unprecedentedly by the study of Buddhism and Taoism, and its orthodox status is being weakened.

This is like a scale. When the inclination angle reaches a certain amount, how can the alert scholars and officials not fight back?

All factors accumulate together, and what burst out is the current study of Confucianism in Song Dynasty.

What is the study of ethics and principles? The "learning of ethics and principles" in the Northern Song Dynasty focused on the explanation of classics, comprehensively and different from the verification of Sinology. Sinology emphasizes the specific study of texts. It is complicated and fragmented, and lacks comprehensive observation. However, only talking about meanings and principles will inevitably lead to time and criticism.

Why can Neo-Confucianism develop in the Song Dynasty? That is because the development of the Song Confucianism's ritual theory showed two orientations that were both related and distinctive from the beginning, that is, the ritual theory orientation, the mind-nature orientation, and the ritual theory orientation.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the theory of ethics and theory was dominated by the theory of the world. However, later, due to military and political setbacks, the academic resources of Confucianism were relatively insufficient in the field of world theory. In addition, the theory of ethics and theory that excluded the needs of Buddhist and Taoist thoughts, and the theory of ethics and theory that focused on the nature gradually gained the upper hand, and eventually became the theory of the dominant position throughout the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
