There are many theories in Confucian culture, but why not talk about life and death?

It's not that I don't talk about it, but I don't have Machamp's derangement theory like Taoism and Buddhism. In this way, Confucianism teaches us more about life. Buddhism and Taoism are things that solve life and death and transcend life and death.

For example, although Buddhism talks about reincarnation, enlightenment is bound to talk about jumping out of reincarnation. For example, although Christianity talks about immortality and going to heaven, Confucianism wants people to walk straight and stand tall. Now it is necessary to transcend life and death, not to talk about a set of life and death in twists and turns.

Confucianism is a reborn culture, which does not avoid death. The attitude towards death is actually realistic and advocates doing everything possible to meet the destiny. The so-called doing everything possible is to bring out the inner virtue, and the so-called meeting the destiny is to admit the irresistible objective inevitability.

Confucius' theory of "not speaking from strange gods" does not mean that Confucianism does not speak of ghosts and gods. Why didn't Confucius talk about leaving the strange god? Because this is not our most important thing, the most important thing is to live well, not to think about the world after death.

Our civilized atmosphere is people-oriented, life-oriented, teachers die late, ancestors and ghosts and gods die late. It's not that we don't talk about it, but that we advocate doing good things first when people are alive, but who can say what will happen after death?

Respect for nature, Confucian thought is based on the understanding of human beings or, to be precise, living people. It is about how to treat people when they are born, and how to be polite and honest. The Confucian view of death can be said to be not avoiding death, not fearing death, emphasizing the importance of justice while alive, and not seeking the avoidance of life and death.

Other religions have formed their own theoretical system of life and death. They think it is good to go to heaven after death, and we should do more good deeds. Then when we are alive, we begin to worry about what will happen after death and ignore the fact that we are still alive.
