1. What is "three religions and nine streams"?

First, the three religions refer to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. See three dogmas. Jiuliu refers to nine academic schools from pre-Qin to early Han Dynasty. See article 96. Three religions and nine streams refer to various academic schools. Yuan's Wang Shifu and The Romance of the West Chamber, the fourth volume, is the second fold: one is thoroughly taught and the other is full of embroidery. Later, it was also used to refer to various industries or people in society. Jing Hua Yuan ﹋ Back to 99: Look carefully, scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen, all kinds of religions. Also known as nine schools and three religions. Second, "three religions and nine streams" is a word that people often encounter, but there are not many words that can fully express its content. The so-called "three religions and nine streams" refers to the classification of people's status and occupation in old China. According to the explanation of relevant materials, its specific content is: three religions: Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. "Northern history? 6? 1 "Zhou Gaozu Ji" contains: In the second year of Jiande, Emperor Wu of Zhou, in December, reset, gather officials, shamans, etc. The emperor raised his seat and successively explained the three religions. Confucianism comes first, Taoism comes second, and Buddhism comes last. "Nine streams: Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Legalists, Famous Scholars, Mohists, Strategists, Sages, and Farmhouses. According to the traditional method, Jiuxi can be divided into Shangjiuxi, Zhongjiuxi and Xiajiuxi. Shangjiuliu: First-class Buddha, Second-rate Heaven, Third-rate Emperor, Fourth-rate Official, Fifth-rate Pavilion, Sixth-rate Prime Minister, Seven-rate (Jinshi), Eight-rate (Juren) and Nine-rate. Zhong Jiuliu: First-rate scholar, second-rate doctor, third-rate painter, fourth-rate skin (shadow play), fifth-rate actor, sixth-rate gold (divination), seven monks, eight roads and nine chess. The next nine streams: first-class platform, second-rate blowing, third-rate circus, fourth-rate pushing, fifth-rate pool, sixth back, seventh repair, eighth match and ninth prostitute.

Third, "three religions and nine streams" is generally understood as the name of ancient occupations, and it refers to people who wandered around the rivers and lakes in the old society and engaged in various industries. The "three religions and nine streams" in ancient vernacular novels often contain derogatory meanings. "Three religions" refer to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. "Nine streams" refers to nine academic schools in the pre-Qin period, which can be found in Hanshu? 6? 1 literary records. These nine schools refer to Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang schools, Legalists, famous artists, Mohists, militarists, miscellaneous schools and peasant schools. "Nine streams" are divided into "upper nine streams", "middle nine streams" and "lower nine streams". "Shangjiuliu" are emperors, sages, hermits, children's immortals, literati, warriors, agriculture, industry and commerce. The "middle nine streams" are: Ju Zi, Doctor, Xiang Ming, Dan Qing (painter), scholar, monk, Tao and Ni. "Dirty servants" are: masters, servants, scales (scales), matchmakers, pawns, time demons (kidnappers and witches), thieves, thieves and prostitutes.

2. (Buddha Light Textbook) Volume 10 Overview of Religion (1-20) Lesson 15 Buddhist Views on the Three Religions and Nine Streams Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have been called the Three Religions for a long time. Buddhism is Buddhism, which is the teaching method of Sakyamuni Buddha. In fact, Confucianism refers to Confucian education, such as Confucius and Mencius' emphasis on ethics and etiquette. On the other hand, Taoism takes life as its main purpose, including the teachings of Dante, Zhai Zhai, Fuyong, Jishan and Jingjie. Confucianism and Taoism belong to China's native culture, while Buddhism is spread from India. Therefore, there are many differences in doctrines, thoughts and beliefs among the three religions. However, in the process of the spread of the three religions in China, due to the mutual influence, the theory of the confluence of the three religions came into being. Nine-stream theory is based on Hanshu? According to the records in Yiwenzhi, there are Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, France, famous artists, Yin and Yang, strategists, miscellaneous scholars and farmers. It is an important school of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Nine streams have their own strengths. Confucius and Mencius' Confucian central thought is based on "benevolence", emphasizing the three cardinal guides and five permanents, four dimensions and eight virtues, and learning six arts, so they can be called intellectuals. Laozi and Zhuangzi's Taoism, "taking Tao as the principle, taking morality as the body, taking perseverance as the teaching, taking nothing as the foundation, taking it as the extreme, and even doing everything." Laozi advised me to return to nature and conform to nature. The founder of Mohism is Mo Zhai, who advocates "mutual love and mutual benefit", regards self-suffering and self-interest as sacred, and attaches importance to samurai spirit. Even if you go through fire and water, you will eventually become a ranger gang. Legalists advocated active reform to enrich Qiang Bing, and made all the people submit through severe punishment. Li Kui, Shang Yang, Shen Dao, Shen Buhai and Han Fei are all outstanding among them. This theory played a great role in the process of Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries, but the tyranny also caused a strong rebound among the people. Famous scholars are academic schools specializing in the relationship between name and reality, and the debate on preference theory has made great contributions to the thinking mode of logic. Hui Shi, Gong Sunlong and others specialize in analyzing names, but they contain contradictory concepts that confuse dialectics. Yin and Yang families explain the rise and fall of dynasties and predict future changes with the theory that the five elements of earth, wood, gold, fire and water are dominant. Zou Yan, the founder, put forward the theory that "five virtues begin at the end", which aroused the curiosity of the governors who competed for the world, but eventually became a prophetic superstition. A strategist is like a modern diplomatic expert. At that time, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who lobbied among the princes of the Warring States, adopted the policy of "vertical confrontation" and "Lian Heng reconciliation", which greatly influenced the decisions of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States and Qin Shihuang. Miscellaneous scholars tried to "combine Confucianism and Mohism, get the same name and the same law", integrated the thoughts of various schools, and worked out a set of laws governing the country, represented by Lv Buwei in Qin Dynasty. The farmer is an expert in agricultural production technology and is committed to "sowing hundreds of grains, diligently farming and planting mulberry, and having ample food and clothing." Xu Xing, the founder, also advocated "double cultivation of monarch and minister". Nine streams have their own characteristics, which originated from the needs of society at that time. However, due to the changes of the times, except Confucianism and Taoism, they still stand at the forefront of China's traditional culture, and most of them gradually declined after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, if we look at the "three religions and nine streams" from a modern perspective, we find that they are still integrated into various fields of society, such as educational theory, code system, political theory, diplomatic public relations, logical calculus, folk festivals, gang churches, fortune telling, psychological counseling, agricultural knowledge and other industries. The "Nine Streams" in the pre-Qin period really contributed to the development of China society. It is a precious heritage of traditional culture and embodies the wisdom and experience of our ancestors. After the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the arguments for practicing and the purpose of saving the world are inevitably similar. For example, Confucianism says "correct mind", Buddhism says "clear mind" and Taoism says "refine mind"; Confucianism "governs the world", Buddhism "governs the mind" and Taoism "governs the body"; Confucianism is close to "humanity", Buddhism is close to "Buddhism and Taoism" and Taoism is close to "heaven"; Confucianism says "be kind to yourself and help the world", Buddhism says "protect morality for a long time, and descend to all beings", and Taoism says "clean your heart and govern by doing nothing". But tracing back to the source carefully, the reasoning of the three religions is shallow and deep, and Chen Yi's tastes are still very different. Confucianism said, "How can you know who you are if you don't know who you are?" . "Everything about the origin of the universe, mysterious phenomena, life and death issues is ignored, and everything is in line with fate. Taoism, on the other hand, combines the creation of the universe with the idea of immortals with the concept of "three cleanses in one breath", and holds that everything in the world is transformed from three cleanses, which is the embodiment of materialism. Buddhism, on the other hand, answers the causal view of the creation, birth, evil and emptiness of the universe by revealing the theory of "emptiness", and breaks people's confusion about life and death with the theory of causality and reincarnation of good and evil. The doctrine of Buddhism is harmonious, which makes Buddhism in the nine streams of Confucianism and Taoism and can be passed down for a long time. Today's "three religions and nine streams" have been thoroughly remoulded and integrated into all sectors of society, forming a brand-new look. Moreover, due to the rapid development of scientific and technological civilization, new industries are constantly emerging, which is not covered by the past 365 lines. There are all kinds of strange things in the new industry, but there are many differences between good and bad, good and evil. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish good from evil by Buddhism's righteous life. As long as it conforms to the pure laws of karma, five precepts and ten virtues, can self-demand, self-purify and arouse the bodhisattva's self-interest, the traditional "three religions and nine streams" and the modern "a hundred schools of thought contend" can make the society better under the norms of the law of goodness and beauty.
