What's the difference between the ancient yin-yang school and Taoism?

After Qin's death, Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, which seems normal now, but it met with problems at that time.

Before Liu Bang, all emperors, including emperors and princes, were nobles. When Liu Bang arrived, the non-aristocrat became the emperor and the biggest aristocrat.

This broke the convention at that time and naturally needed a reasonable explanation, otherwise it would have an impact on the inherent status of the nobility.

In the field of imperial power, this question is called? Imperial legitimacy? And at the national level, this involves? Orthodox? The establishment of status.

That is, whether the Han Dynasty can become an orthodox dynasty.

General yin and yang? Five elements? This theory is associated with the change of dynasties, which created? Is the five virtues over? Later generations used it to solve the orthodox problems in the Han Dynasty.

Zou Yan once calculated that the Yellow Emperor was a virtue of earth, so after Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, there were virtues of wood, kinder and fire, and after Zhou Dynasty, Qin was a virtue of water.

Liu bang originally thought he was Shuide. Beiqi is waiting for me? The north belongs to the water, and the clothes are still black. But Zhang Cang thought that Han should be a fire virtue, because Liu Bang's propaganda at that time was his own behavior? Chi Di's son? , cut the white snake uprising.

And the Qin dynasty was cruel and ruthless, so it can't be counted? Without virtue? So the Han dynasty inherited Zhou's fire virtue. So although the skirt is still black, there is red on the national flag.

The flower decorations in Han Dynasty were mostly black and red, which was related to this.

However, the Qin Dynasty was also an orthodox dynasty after all, so it had to be counted, so some people suggested that the Han Dynasty was neither a fire virtue nor a water virtue, but a diligent earth virtue.

Some people also object to this statement, saying? Is the five virtues over? Not a mutual relationship, but a mutual life. The Zhou Dynasty was not a fire virtue, but a wood virtue. It is precisely because the Qin dynasty was a water virtue, and the order was wrong, so it died short-lived, which was the birth of the fire virtue in the Han dynasty.

This series of disputes did not reach a final conclusion at the end of the Han Dynasty, but we can also see the efforts of the Yin and Yang families in this regard.

Taoism: Use? Natural? 、? Doing nothing? On governing the country

Many people think that Taoism is a comparison. Xuan? It's more like an exposition of the nature of the world, but it's not. Taoism, as one of hundred schools of thought, is also a theory to promote its idea of governing the country.

What are the main ideas of governing the country in Taoism? Doing nothing? , is a method of opposition to Confucianism and Legalism.

Taoist concept of Yin and Yang is different from that of Yin and Yang. It pays more attention to the dialectical existence of opposites. Only when there is high can there be low, and only when there is high can there be low, so because there will be? De? As a respected quality, then it must be because there is? Lose virtue? The phenomenon exists.

Therefore, the Taoist concept of Yin and Yang is often not used to support his own theory, but to prove how to govern the country by it.

Taoism believes that when people think something is good, it means that something bad has happened in this world.

This is:

The beauty in the world is beauty and evil; As we all know, goodness is good, but it is not good.

Therefore, if the rulers want to realize the rule of saints, they need to let the people act on doing good and doing good as instinct, rather than advocating it vigorously.

What it requires is to return the people under the rule to a primitive state, and the specific method is the so-called? Stupid person? .

Taoist priest? Stupid person? Literally, it is not as cruel as legalists. It believes that as long as the people under the rule are satisfied and don't know what a better life is, then naturally there will be no comparison mentality and they will not go? Fight? .

In a range, everyone's life is actually not much different. People don't envy other people's lives, and they don't feel how bad their lives are. In this way, a small country with few people will become stable and the country will be more stable.
