Confucius' theory of hypocrisy

Recently, some people in Nanjing held an initiation ceremony for primary school students in the Confucius Temple, and not long ago, top students in Jilin University also held a vigorous activity of offering sacrifices to Confucius ..... It has become an indisputable fact that Confucianism "came back to life", and as the head of Confucianism, future generations will use Confucius' own "century project" for moral and cultural education after 2000, which is unexpected, but Confucius is not only a hypocrite, but also a hypocrite. However, it is such a Confucian thinker who lacks scientific spirit, but his ambiguous golden mean has been worshipped by the ruling class and people in China for more than a thousand years since ancient times, spread unscrupulously, and passed down from generation to generation in politics, morality, life, philosophy and temples of the people in an ancient civilization. For this reason, for a long time, Chinese people have gradually lost their ability to distinguish right from wrong in those seemingly classic quotations. Confucius' so-called goodness, so-called life, so-called moral model, like a cultural maze, hides the cruelty, hypocrisy and blood of the real ruling class. They are vague and unpredictable theoretical flowers decorated on the autocratic heads of feudal emperors and generals. I know that Confucius, who worships some people, will certainly be countered by scholars, experts and university professors who are still trying to corrupt Confucianism by stealing bones, but facts speak louder than words. Please listen to me slowly.

1, Confucius' main thoughts and theories are an intermittent hodgepodge, without the systematicness, seriousness and prudence of a modern scientific theory. His quotations seem reasonable, but in fact the definition based on impromptu or arbitrary judgment is often unclear, that is, the foresight of a deceitful fortune teller and the double-sided explanation can confuse people most, except the theoretical ambiguity determined by the ambiguity of China's words. Another reason is that the ruling class with ulterior motives used Confucius' superficial and decadent thoughts to disguise themselves for him. For example, in a threesome, there must be a teacher, and it is difficult to raise a woman. Although these spoken words are simple, it is easy for many bookworms who shake their heads to make arbitrary and impressional judgments, obey authoritative thinking, and blur the concepts between things into misunderstandings. In the long run, they will certainly foster public acceptance. The popularity of Mao's 10,000 quotations from great men during the Cultural Revolution is a powerful illustration!

2. The philosophy of the golden mean comes from the Book of Changes. It is intolerable that he should distort the meaning of Yin and Yang and absoluteize the principle of unity of opposites and mutual transformation between good and evil. The most ridiculous thing about his hypocrisy is that such an "educator" who doesn't understand science has become a sophist. He used people's ignorance and mystery about everything to build his own religious theoretical foundation. The education and enlightenment of his view of good and evil is a spiritual poison that fools and paralyzes people. In addition to the whip and shackles of the ruling class, enslavement thought is another culprit in suppressing and blocking the hearts of working people with ethics, while his moral theory of maintaining feudal social order is actually helping others to abuse it, which runs counter to modern people-oriented democratic thought!

3. Although his interpretation of things is fair and eloquent, the "classic" speech based on the vague concept of China's words is confused and full of contradictions, which simply cannot stand scrutiny. It is not an exaggeration to use a clever word to make colors. For example, in order to prove the rationality and necessity of accepting gratitude in charity, someone recently took out a set of Confucius allusions to mislead readers. It is said that there was a rule in the ancient state of Lu that a local businessman redeemed a slave with money abroad and could be reimbursed by the government after returning home. A student of Confucius also redeemed a slave with money, but he didn't get any money from the government. Confucius criticized the student when he knew it. The reason is that if people know his deeds, they will be unwilling to do such a righteous act for the benefit, so that more slaves of Lu can't return to China. On the contrary, if a student does a good deed and someone gives him a cow, he will be praised by Confucius. Of course, the reason is the same. In fact, Confucius is not a wise man, but what he said is the actual situation, and human nature is selfish. However, people who are so "insightful" about human nature have forgotten what he said: "Human nature is good at the beginning of life". According to his theory, although many people do or don't do good things out of selfishness, there are still quite a few people who do good things from the heart, not out of selfishness, and even in danger. Obviously, this is in contradiction with your own theory! Confucius' interest in good deeds is tantamount to not believing in human kindness and consciousness. Since human nature is selfish, what effect does Confucius blindly emphasize on moral education to purify social atmosphere? I'm afraid this is just a trick to deceive honest people! I think, for thousands of years, the ugliness of China people's human nature has not been improved under the education of Confucianism, but the more they learn, the worse they get. Instead of treating both the symptoms and the root causes, it is better to design the motive force of all social systems as the lever of monetary interests. I'd rather believe the latter, which is the capital operation system of market economy that was used in the west hundreds of years ago and is being adopted in China!

I said that a good social system can shape people. People in a democratic, fair and just society are hard to get bad. People in autocratic, overbearing and dark societies are hard to get bad. Is it possible for everyone to purify the social atmosphere from the bottom up? Can you do it? Even if you do it for a while, how long can it last? Undoubtedly, this is just Confucius' wishful thinking. Compared with the democratic supervision of the government and the protection of civil rights, people's self-moral cultivation and charitable behavior are all kind little behaviors. In fact, Confucius ignored the cruelty and tyranny of the ruling class and only used his beautiful moral preaching to train obedient dogs and slaves for emperors and princes. It is indisputable that he was the first principal of China Slave School. Of course, Confucius' theory is useless and not true. However, most theories about people's livelihood have not been deeply discussed in Confucianism, but have been lightly distorted by later generations and the ruling class as hypocrisy and sophistry that decorate bloody rule. It can be said responsibly that the root cause of China's backwardness lies in the long-standing outshining of Confucianism, which has anesthetized the people. If we don't thoroughly criticize Confucius' poisonous and disguised fallacies in modern and future, the thoughts of democracy, people's livelihood and civil rights will never take root and blossom in the hearts of China people. Because Confucianism, which preaches feudal ethics and hierarchical concepts, has a great influence in China people's minds, it can't be improved for a while, and overcorrection may be extreme, but in order not to let such "painting beauties" borrow again. Have no choice! At the same time, vigorously promoting the enlightenment of modern literature is also the need and urgency of the cultural and ideological circles.

Obviously, Confucius is a hypocrite, a sophist and an official fan! His theories are all tools for him to seek fame and fortune from emperors and generals. It's a pity that he still travels between countries like a lost dog in his lifetime. Can people who can't even save themselves save the people from fire and water? Confucianism, which lacked scientific spirit and democratic thought, was excusable in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when cultural thought was first enlightened thousands of years ago. Today, 2000 years later, some of our experts, scholars, professors and educators, regardless of the conclusion of modern people with lofty ideals, use saving traditional culture as an excuse to move against the trend and revive Confucianism, not to mention ignorance of the times, and will be laughed at by future generations! I hope you can give me your advice ~!
