Chapter 333 The sergeant heard the Tao and the correct way to eat grapes(2/2)
Zhao Rong is serious.
"Oh, is that so?" Zhao Lingfei looked into his eyes and said with a hint of a smile.
Zhao Rong nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, my husband can tell at a glance that this lady is unusual."
"Then how does the spiritual concubine compare to her husband's sergeant?"
Zhao Rong said without thinking: "My wife is up there."
He paused and chewed on the words, then quickly blinked and repeated: "Well, the wife is above the husband."
Zhao Lingfei always felt that something was wrong with Zhao Rong's words, which seemed to have profound meaning, but now she did not understand the taste and beauty of this 'top'.
Are you bullying her again? Don't you understand?
Concubine Zhao Ling looked at Zhao Rong suspiciously with her autumn eyes.
The latter vowed: "My wife is above me!"
After a while, Zhao Rong finally coaxed Qingjun back and he continued the topic.
"Qingjun, do you know why you say that in the daytime, most of the people in the bamboo forest are sergeants? Give me an example."
Zhao Rong said slowly:
"In the bamboo forest during the day, Tao Taoyou mentioned Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette, saying that our Confucian etiquette is the root of chaos. We all know that Taoism only advocates 'Tao', but do you really think that Taoism is
Do you really hate denying virtue, benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette?"
Zhao Lingfei frowned, "Isn't it?"
"Why is it so simple as you think?" Zhao Rong shook his head.
"In fact, they are not denying the latter ones, but they believe that when the first link of Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette is missing, they will begin to emphasize the latter link."
"This is a process in which people's hearts deviate further and further away from the 'Tao'. It is a process in which norms become more and more strict. It is a process in which the inner voluntary requirements are getting lower and lower, while the constraints of the outside world are getting heavier and heavier."
"So, Taoist Taoist Fellow Tao said that when you talk about etiquette, it's the day when you fall out of alignment."
Zhao Rong sighed softly.
"If there is a way in the world and everyone has a way, then why bother with the second best thing of 'virtue, benevolence, justice and etiquette'? It is unnecessary."
He suddenly seemed to remember something, and while talking, he took out grapes and other fruits.
I bought it in Xicheng this morning. I washed it and put it away, but then I forgot to take it out.
It's perfect for chatting right now.
Seeing Xiao Qian'er's eyes light up after seeing the grapes, Zhao Rong smiled and peeled the grape skins for her and Qing Jun and fed them.
"This is the Taoist point of view in the 'Tao dispute' on the mountain between Confucianism and Taoism."
Zhao Rong lowered his eyes, his hands were busy working, and he kept talking:
"In our Confucian view, people in the world have different understandings, and the world's ways are declining, so we gradually subdivide the 'Tao' into virtues, benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette."
"Almost all different people can be included in it and be in a suitable position. The 'Tao' is too high and it suddenly becomes too difficult to reach. Then give people a ladder to climb up. Well, you can also do the opposite.
Come here and understand it as, go down. And observing etiquette is the bottom line."
Zhao Rong handed the crystal-like grape to the lady who was listening attentively, then took back his hand and peeled another one for Qian'er.
He whispered softly: "Whether it is Confucianism or Taoism, the original intention is good. For example, Taoism's rule of inaction, this 'doing nothing without doing anything', where there is no passive inaction, it is clearly the most positive action.
"
"It's just that the two families have the same original intention, but different concepts."
"The 'Tao' of Taoism is equal, and everyone upholds the 'Tao' equally; but Confucianism divides the 'Tao' into hierarchies, just like saints, sages, gentlemen, and scholars, one level at a time."
Zhao Rong concentrated on peeling the grapes and said word by word: "The difference in concepts is simply incompatible. This is the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism."
Zhao Lingfei bit her lip, Zhao Qianer tilted her head, and the two women stared at the man next to them with a calm tone, dazed, their eyes couldn't help but look admiring.
At this time, Zhao Rong finished peeling another grape and handed it to Zhao Lingfei's lips.
Zhao Lingfei came back to her senses. There were still grape seeds in her mouth and she was about to spit them out.
Zhao Rong suddenly stretched out his other hand considerately, preparing to catch it in front of her.
Zhao Lingfei narrowed her eyes in joy, pursed her lips slightly, and leaned her upper body towards Zhao Rong's hand.
The next second, Zhao Rong leaned forward.
In an instant, they both ate from the same grape.
Zhao Lingfei: "???"
