He Xianglin hurriedly said hello to Duan Xinyu.

Duan Xinyu nodded with a smile, and she always remembered her purpose, restrained her emotions, and said to Chen Feiyu: "In class, you only emphasized Taoism, but in addition to Taoism, there is also Confucianism in China. Strictly speaking, the influence of Confucianism from ancient times to the present has always surpassed Taoism. Even if Taoism is pursuing the most fundamental origin of the universe, Confucianism is completely inclined to be practical."

Chen Feiyu shook his head and smiled.

"What, do you think I'm wrong?" Duan Xinyu was stunned.

"Of course," Chen Feiyu smiled and said, "Your remarks are the disadvantages of today's society's brief experience of Confucianism. Strictly speaking, the most fundamental pursuit of Confucianism is actually no different from Taoism. They are also pursuing the "Big Way". However, Confucianism has obvious and esoteric studies, which is to build a society of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness", while esoteric studies are practice, that is, practicing Taoism.

Unfortunately, the public only knows Confucianism's explanatory studies but does not know Confucianism's secrets, so they believe that Confucianism is shallower than Taoism. This is just a prejudice. For example, in the "Doing of the Mean", the most fundamental mental method of Confucianism is in "Doing of the Mean". The beginning of the article mentions that "the destiny of heaven is called nature, the pre-nature of nature is called Tao, and the cultivation of Tao is called teaching."

The so-called clear meaning of the beginning, the first sentence of "Doing the Mean" focuses on what is "Tao"? The "Tao" here is actually not essentially different from the "Tao" pursued by Taoism. It is just that the secular public does not understand it. Teacher Duan, let me ask you, what is "destiny"?"

"Destiny?" Duan Xinyu's eyes flashed with confusion, and she shook her head, and said, "Stand at thirty, stand at forty, not be confused, and know the destiny at fifty. To be honest, I don't know what destiny is."

Duan Xinyu's reaction was expected by Chen Feiyu and said with a smile: "At the age of fifty, I know the destiny of heaven. This is Confucius' realm. Confucius read the "Book of Changes" at the age of fifty. Did you find the connection? That's why Confucius said, "If you don't read the "Book of Changes", you can't know the destiny of heaven."

The Book of Changes is originally discussing the truth of the movement of the universe. Its content and the Tao Te Ching can be verified by each other. The so-called "destiny of heaven" are all in the Book of Changes. Therefore, there is no fundamental difference between Confucianism and Taoism.

For example, Taoists often say that Tao is in sincerity, while the Doctrine of the Mean focuses on what it means to be 'sincere', how to be 'sincere', and the various mysterious and magical aspects of 'sincere', which is the inner connection between Taoism and Confucianism. Unfortunately, Confucian tantra has long been cut off from its inheritance."

After saying that, Chen Feiyu sighed with regret.

Duan Xinyu opened her eyes wide and was surprised. She had never thought about Chen Feiyu's theory before. If it was right, it sounded very reasonable. Well, it was very reasonable. Apart from violating the common sense of the secular public, there was no other problem.

"Sure enough, Chen Feiyu has a lot of knowledge in his head that he doesn't know. This time I came to find Chen Feiyu, it's true!"

Duan Xinyu felt excited and her beautiful eyes began to shine. In her eyes, Chen Feiyu had become a treasure and couldn't help but want to dig further.

So, she couldn't wait to ask Chen Feiyu some questions, so she didn't even bother to watch the wonderful welcome party.

Chen Feiyu's answer did not disappoint her. It was always beyond her expectations. Many theories even went against the common sense of the secular public. However, Chen Feiyu quoted classics and wrote the classics of Taoism and Confucianism at will, and could confirm them with each other. This made her suddenly realize that she was surprised and she was even more curious about Chen Feiyu.

At this moment, Chen Feiyu is like a teacher, while Duan Xinyu is like a student.

For Chen Feiyu, he lived on the mountain since he was a child, and the most common ones on the mountain were rows of ancient books, which included classics from various schools of thought. In addition to practicing martial arts and medicine every day, he spent most of his time reading books. He naturally became familiar with the theoretical classics of Taoism and Confucianism.
