Chapter 2601: Learning from the scriptures, lacking true scriptures(1/2)
Chang'an, General's Mansion.
"This is the letter sent by Kuaima..." An escort presented the information in his hand.
Fei Qian took it, opened it, then looked up and down, and nodded.
Just having Qiao and going to survey the information is just one aspect of information, and Fei Qian also needs other aspects of information to supplement it. This other source of information is Yang Fu from Xining.
This information is supplemented by details sent from Xining.
The people who learned the scriptures were unhappy and slowly went from Longyou to Longxi. Feiqian could send a carrier pigeon to contact Xining. He first obtained some relevant information, and then asked Yang Fu to continue to send people to the snow area to investigate some problems in his later studies.
First of all, it is true that there are people who have learned the scriptures.
Is it a matter of pretending to be an envoy to cheat? In fact, it is not a rare thing in Chinese history.
The most were in the Ming Dynasty.
Why did the Ming Dynasty have the most? Because the sea was forbidden in the Ming Dynasty, there was a slap (except for tribute), so naturally there was a large group of people who specialized in this business and deceived the Ming Dynasty emperors and wrote some lion fu. They originally wanted to show off, but they slapped themselves in the mouth.
Of course, not only in ancient China, but also in foreign countries. There were Hu Jian's maritime merchants who pretended to be officials to go to the South China Sea, and there were too many Arabs who pretended to be Chinese envoys to go to the Mediterranean to cheat. So don't think that ancient people didn't know how to use information asymmetry to make trouble...
Those who seek the scriptures did come from the snowy area.
Yang Fu described the relevant investigation in the letter, saying that there were traces to follow, and it was not the kind of people who thought about it in the tent, and then something "Gentile Messenger" appeared.
As for the detailed identity of this scholar and his status in the snowy area, further specific verification is needed.
Because people have social attributes, Fei Qian needs this person to seek the scriptures, but it does not mean that he only needs his identity as "seeking the scriptures"...
After reading the information, Fei Qian handed the information to Pang Tong on the side, signaling Pang Tong to take a look as well.
After the adjustments over the past two days, Pang Tong gradually recovered and decided to take some time after finishing some of the previous things in spring. It is best to hurry before midsummer. After all, midsummer has relatively fewer issues, and then he can quickly go to Wancheng on Wuguan Road.
In order to achieve this goal, Pang Tong now needs weight loss exercise every day...
The Wuguan road is not easy to walk, and it is okay to take a horse. There are places where you have to get off the horse and walk. If you want to ride a car comfortably, it will definitely not work. So Pang Tong first has to lose at least one or two chins, otherwise he will not know whether he was exhausted first or the horse was exhausted first.
However, exercise is not achieved overnight, otherwise it will become a muscle melt, and then the big man will be completely unsuccessful.
Before you, you should first deal with the matters of seeking the scriptures.
When humans think, God laughs.
Shi Yuan was thinking, and Fei Qian smiled.
God from the five directions is also God.
General Cavalry is also Party A.
Religion is inherently capable of eroding thoughts, like a double-edged sword. How to use it well? It is now placed in front of the cavalry and in front of all the middle and upper-level officials involved in this incident of seeking the scriptures.
Most officials do not believe in any religion. At the same time, it is also interesting that once officials begin to believe in religion, a large part of them will not be able to be any officials well.
Therefore, Fei Qian was unwilling to vigorously promote religion in China.
Especially when leaders and those in power believe in religion, it is often a sign that their regime begins to collapse. Many emperors have personally verified this point in history, and once those in power believe in it or are obsessed with religion, it will also cause middle and lower-level officials to take advantage of the opportunity to corruption and make money on a large scale...
The virtues of these officials in China are generally considered traditional. If there is no benefit, they will only thunder and rain. They will forward and forward again. Learn and study and study are done. Once there is profit, they will be heard that the wind is rain. The crime of officials trafficking in humans can also be ruling and procedures. Even if the people cut down a tree at the door, they can be punished to lose their entire lives.
Therefore, Fei Qian did not mention any of the so-called real people in the Five God Cult. He was just considering the overall strategic considerations, so he did not scold Qiao Bing and others for such flattery.
Taoism is a tool, and Confucianism is also a tool. If you regard tools as your own natal, you will naturally put the cart before the horse.
"Yellow Turban, Five Dou, although the Taoist scriptures are good, the ones who use them are not good." Fei Qian said slowly, "The temptation of life and death, and the false statement of heaven is ultimately just a small group of ambitious people... Now thinking about it, we should take it as a warning..."
『The so-called fabrication of scriptures is unavailable...』 Pang Tong nodded silently and said after a moment, 『What should this "true scripture" be given to?"
In Qiaobing in Longxi, it was said that Fei Qian had already decided on some true scriptures, but he was actually lying. He was just trying to perfunctory Wei Kang.
In fact, Fei Qian still has a headache about this problem.
This is a big and difficult problem.
In fact, it is not just the Yellow Turbans and Five Dous. In history, many religions in feudal dynasties eventually went to fool the people, using means of bewitching, deceiving, fraud, etc. to ingest money, bribing officials, and forming local or even regional things...
In fact, these guys who are cheating in religious robes are not that officials cannot see clearly, nor are they completely deceived by the superiors. Sometimes the superiors are not willing to think less, and they do not want to push away the stones that are pressing on the people's wisdom.
If the people really start thinking, the street lights are not enough!
Therefore, compared to the fact that the people were enlightened, the superiors of the feudal dynasty prefer to use religion to paralyze.
Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism.
That's right, in the late stage, Confucianism also became a kind of religion. The various rituals and rules that were treacherous and tacit, weren't they just the same rules and precepts as other religions? In the end, Confucianism could not get rid of the trouble of idealism. When Wang Mingyang came to Wang Mingyang, "the mind is the reason", and there were some people who were born to know what was born? Apart from a monster like Fei Qian, who could be born to know the past and present? Is it similar to the "Buddha in the Heart" and its kind?
In later generations, some people don’t like to go around and go straight. Whether they are stabbed or stabbed, they will be the best to see blood after being stabbed. Then, when will they see things that are happening in ancient times or when they are circling around, they feel very unhappy, irritable, and waste time. But these people have never considered why they become impatient, anxious, like simple and direct things, and don’t like to think about it? When did they start to become like this? Is this what they were born since childhood? The little man who was once curious about the world and liked to ask why was defeated, crushed, and disappeared?
The same old saying is, which kind of person the rulers of feudal dynasties would rather accept, or who have the courage to accept?
To a certain extent, in the feudal dynasty, it is to cultivate these people who like to simplify, do not like to think, and have no curiosity about the outside world. However, the overall social trend gradually deteriorates, making China difficult and closed its doors.
Therefore, what Fei Qian wants more is to use the educational effect of religion, rather than another function of religion, the paralysis effect.
Classes are inevitable, but as long as classes can still move, the overall society will still have certain activity.
After surplus value, classes will inevitably arise. In social turmoil, anyone has the opportunity to break the class gap, but in a relatively stable stage, it is not the so-called "simple efforts" that you can cross the class.
"Simple efforts" can at most only keep the original class from falling. To break through the original class and reach a higher level, it not only requires "excessive efforts", but also requires a certain amount of luck. After all, this world does not necessarily have rewards if it takes hard work.
There is no reward, the harder you work, the more painful it will be.
So the paralysis of religion...well, or the function of "**h" is reflected. Different eras are just different **h, but their functions are still the same, and the corresponding groups are the same.
Fei Qian thought about it, it was like Confucianism. There was nothing wrong with Confucianism itself, and it became a religion...
After all, in an era when most people cannot receive education, the natural gathering of religion can replace part of the enlightenment of knowledge, of course, only a small part. Although this small part also includes knowledge distorted by religion, for those ancient people who were blindfolded by their eyes and ears at birth, it is a little light in the darkness that supports them to survive.
Therefore, we cannot blindly reject or indulge.
To use it well, there must be a system.
To have a system, you need to have Taoist scriptures as your basis.
Fei Qian said slowly, "Although the gods in the five directions are empty, these religions... are all real. Since they are real, there should be regulations... in the true scriptures, there should be meaning..."
"This is the difficulty at the moment. The temporary editing is obviously inappropriate. If there is a mistake between the scriptures at that time, we will have to add some additional things later..." Pang Tong glanced at Fei Qian, "Can you use... well, what I mean is to use other scriptures first... but in this way, I always feel... it seems a bit inappropriate, but I can't think of where it is wrong..."
"Replace?" Fei Qian frowned, for some reason, and felt that this method seemed to be a little problem.
Time travelers are not omnipotent either.
Although Fei Qian knows a lot, it is because he has received the blessing of rich information from later generations. In addition, the office staff have learned some skills by chatting and spanking all day long. Not to mention, Fei Qian's level is really nothing. If you don't believe it, you can just find a taxi in Kyoto. Just ask a question. The master said that all the political and current affairs in the international and domestic market will not be repeated for a day...
Office staff, who coordinated plans, personnel arrangements, demolished the east and west walls, were originally doing such a replacement, but Fei Qian didn't know why, and he thought it was not very good to just replace him like this.
Although there is indeed a big hole in the Taoist scriptures at the moment.
Quite a big hole.
These are all historical issues.
Buddhism does not have this problem. Of course, Buddhism is not prosperous now.
The scriptures I took from those Buddhist children later, were all foreign goods, and I read them all, do you understand? I am coaxing them to me, do you understand? It’s easy to do if I don’t understand them. Uh, I’m wrong, I don’t understand. I’ll teach you. Look, this is a certain true scripture, and there is another true scripture. There is also a true scripture in the true scripture here...
So there is no need to worry about Buddhist scriptures.
Everyone understands the Confucian children on the other side.
This book belongs to my master, this book belongs to my master’s relatives, this book belongs to my master’s relatives’ friends, and that book belongs to my family!
Originally, Confucianism had only five classics, but later it quietly turned into six classics. When he turned his head, he turned into nine classics. In the blink of an eye, it became the thirteen classics! If it weren't for the pale face of his descendants, so many scriptures, plus a large group of notes, they would have derived a small mountain interpretation, which would have been impossible to read or memorized. It would be said that the children of Confucianism wanted to create some forty-two classics.
In comparison, Taoist children are quite pitiful.
When Fei Qian thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh, what have the old Huang and the old men who founded the Han Dynasty done before?
What about Zhang Liang? Stand out and say, "What about you, even if you make up your own story, you have to do it all. Just make a "Su Shu" and it's all done? Who can understand it? Even those readers who like to be dry and fucked every day can't understand it. How can they promote it? And what about "The Three Layers of Huangshi Gong", you are so polite, you're just three strategies? These are just three strategies?!
Moreover, the "Su Shu" and "Three Notes" were also too targeted, which made the emperor see that if a smart person read it, that would be fine? So he waved his hand and it was all the stars, making it impossible for the people behind him to find the full text even if they wanted to search for a pirated copy...
As for the later generations of "Su Shu", that's a hehe. After all, it was written by ancient people, so people played like this during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Fei Qian scratched his head, feeling a little worried. It was all caused by Fei Qian's chat with Zuo Ci Qiao and others before. Everyone thought he had an idea in his mind, but in fact Fei Qian didn't think about it at all...
What was Fei Qian, Zuo Ci Qiao and others talking about before? It was the basic doctrine of the Taoist scriptures.
It is not difficult to discuss these, but the specific scriptures are difficult.
For example, what is "Tao", I'll just say it, only 5,000 words.
If you still think that these five thousand words of my son seem to be repaid, then it is a little simpler. You should pursue "Tao" as your belief goal, take "Tao" as your cultivation method, and use "Tao" as your thoughts to educate sentient beings, pursue harmony, and peace in the world. You can finally achieve happiness and happiness with "Tao", and live forever, and become an immortal...
What Fei Qian and Zuo Ci discussed was this, and only this.
What did Zuo Ci do in the first place? He couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't even say anything he believed in. The way of cultivation was also very chaotic, such as fasting, golden elixir, swallowing clouds and spitting mist and picking the essence of the sun and the moon. He couldn't say what goal he wanted to achieve. As a result, he met Fei Qian and stroked it from beginning to end, and immediately named Fei Qian as a fellow Taoist...
Well, this word, forget it, probably that's the case.
As for Fei Qian, Qiao Bing and others' discussions and determination of the five gods, the main thing is to determine the origin of "Tao".
After all, the original Taoism tells that Taoism exists before the world is divided. It starts from the misty disaster. After five stages, Taiyi, Taichu, Taisu, Taishi, and Taichi, it lightly clear and floating upwards, heavy turbidity condenses, and then opens the sky and earth. It is also transformed from the three Qi of Xuanyuan Shi to three days. Laojun transforms his eyes into the sun and the moon, hair into stars, muscles into fertile soil, bones into hard rocks, breathing into wind and clouds, voice and divine light in his eyes into thunder, blood in his body into rivers and lakes, and hair into plants and trees...
Wait, Laojun?
To be continued...
