Chapter 2602: Obtaining the scriptures, the only true scriptures(1/2)

At the moment, the great man can actually be regarded as the Taoist scriptures, only two and a half books.

That’s right, the current Taoist children of the Han Dynasty are so pitiful.

One of them is naturally the Taoist sutra, the "Tao Te Ching".

This is also the reason why Wei Kang thought that his chance came. There was no such thing as a slight search. You could search for the original text of the "Tao Te Ching" and then translated and annotated. Among the children of aristocratic families, because Huang Lao's studies have declined, not many people specialize in the scriptures in the Tao Te Ching, and not even a quarter of those who study the "Chao Yi".

If the difficult hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" are not well-known, they dare not easily understand them if they have not had a certain foundation. Just like when Fei Qian went south to Jingzhou and listened to Xun's lecture in Yingchuan, Xun said that the "Book of Changes" was a collection of all directions. This shows that the "Book of Changes" is not something that ordinary people can understand, let alone the "Tao Te Ching" which is less studied than the "Book of Changes".

The other book is naturally "Zhuangzi".

Laos and Zhuangzi are not separated.

But the problem is that "Zhuangzi" can be said to be the Taoist scripture or not. Because in fact, "Zhuangzi" prefers to show Zhuangzi's own critical spirit, involving philosophy, art, aesthetics, aesthetics, etc. It has rich content and profoundness. It has discussions on many aspects such as philosophy, life, politics, society, art, and cosmic generation theory, not just Taoist content. Of course, if you insist that "Taoism" is in a broad sense, then Buddhists and Confucians can also say that their sect is also in a broad sense, then you are trapped in the vicious circle of who is who is, right?

Later, Taoism did not dare to say that this was the one who took Zhuangzi, so he concealed a Nanhua real person to Zhuangzi, and then said that this was the Taoist "Nanhua real Sutra".

As for whether it is a true scripture, Fei Qian may not think it is, but I believe Mr. Zhuang must be "shocked".

After all, Zhuangzi and Laozi were called together before. How could I become Laojun in the blink of an eye, and Zhuangzi himself could only become a real person?

Taoist children called themselves the Heavenly Lord, saying that I was older than Zhuangzi, and the other hand, I was the incarnation of Laojun...

This logic is turned back, as if it is to prove who is whose father.

Zhuangzi expressed his dissatisfaction. Huangdi Zhou Gong is still older. Why don’t you talk about Huangdi Zhou Gong?

Taoist children have a bitter face. Do you always think we are not talking about it? If you are talking about it, they are all incarnations, all...

Zhuangzi had no choice but to say something about orange and lemon peel, and it was left unresolved.

Is the remaining half of the Taoist sutra? Yes, it is the "Book of Changes".

After all, I want to get involved with Confucianism alone.

In the current era of the Han Dynasty, no matter what type of scripture it is, many of them are poked by Confucian children. Not only are they poked, but they also spit out saliva. Come on, grab food, we are professional, who is afraid of whom?!

Take Dong Zhongshu's thoughts as an example. There are not only Confucianism, but also Yin-Yang, Legal, and Mohist, and then Old Dong coughed, who said it was yours? Do you have the copyright? If you have the copyright, I will write another one and add a clause. These things, not to mention fifty years after death, will be mine for generations!

When a shameless person fights against a shameless person, the shameless person will definitely suffer a little.

It was like taking the banner of a century-old Chinese brand, but selling Western craftsmanship and standards, and creating a set of knives that cannot be photographed. It was really a rule of law society to save it. Otherwise, according to traditional customs, I would have picked up the sign and kicked it out on the spot!

In this matter, is the rule of law right or the rule of law wrong?

This is the problem that Fei Qian is facing now.

He cannot easily delegate the authority of interpretation because people's hearts are greedy.

This has been the case since ancient times.

If you let your subordinates do it easily and let your subordinates set standards for everything, then you know if it was a knife that could not be used to shoot garlic after development. It was originally a milk that met the protein standard. After development, it became a milk that not only reduced the protein, but also increased the number of colonies. It was an APP that occupied a small space and had no advertisements. After development, it became an APP that not only occupied a huge space but also could not close the advertisements...

Among the feudal dynasties in China, there are many people who look kind-hearted and elegant on the surface, but they look like ghosts in their hearts.

What "true scriptures" should these people be able to compile? Fei Qian can rest assured?

After all, even the society in later generations where the rule of law far surpassed that of the Han Dynasty was so magical, not to mention that when we compiled a religious system that was purely proved by the mind and was idealistic, a little negligence would lead to a disaster.

It's like the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

By the way, later generations say that the three brothers Zhang Jiao were also the incarnation of Laojun...

What kind of incarnation is God?

Why did Fei Qian focus on the serious explanation of Qinglong Temple? It was to cut off the Confucianism’s use of prophecies and divination to make a big statement and go to the so-called idealism route. The education, education and inheritance of Confucianism itself is already very great. Why should we compete with religion for jobs?

Based on this point, Fei Qian needs to be more cautious about Taoist scriptures. It is easy to mess around, and it is easy to say an irresponsible word, but it is not easy to build a lighthouse that has shining for hundreds of years or even thousands of years.

This time I randomly fooled people in the snow. Next time, I could fool people from the Northern Wilderness, and then fooled them on their own people. In the end, even deceived them so much that they even believed themselves...

For example, China has "big land and vast resources" and "the country of heaven and earth".

Fei Qian knew very well that China in later generations lacked oil. How much was it? Even though he knew that monopoly would lead to corruption, he still had to let the energy system monopoly. The oil mice caught from the oil barrels over the years were not one or two, but one nest after another...

Then it was said that as long as the poison wine did not occur, it could still quench its thirst. If you don’t drink it, you will die on the spot. If you drink it, you will still have a chance to find an antidote.

Is this right?

As for iron ore, manganese ore, chromium ore, copper ore, aluminum ore, potassium ore, etc., there are some rare minerals, and China is even short of wood because the Waixinganling, which has the most wood in China, was cut off by a prodigal son.

Of course, these things that are missing cannot fall from the sky.

Therefore, China must actively expand.

Active expansion naturally includes the use of force, culture, yes, religion...

This is a civilized world, isn't it?

If Fei Qian used force to expand or recover the Western Regions, and Fei Qian used cultural education and naturalization to erode and naturalize, then the Snow District was Fei Qian who wanted to use religion to infiltrate and eventually assimilate.

Alas, Fei Qian couldn't help but think of his civilized game archive that never passed the level...

If there is an archive, try it first. If it doesn't work, you can just read the archive and start over again.

"Edited" cannot be edited.

Everyone is staring at Fei Qian. If Fei Qian makes it, the people below will make it more. And they will try their best to make it, but Fei Qian has to endure the bitter fruit and let ordinary people eat it.

In fact, there have been emperors in history who have done this.

For example, Wenzi, Liezi, and Gengsangzi were included in the Taoist scripture system in the Tang Dynasty...

During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor wanted to recommend Taoism, but when he saw that this Taoism was too pitiful, there were only two old men, Lao Zhuang, who were left to support it. He also had to compete with Confucianism for the Book of Changes, which was simply nothing to do. How could he live? So Emperor Tang waved his pen and announced that from now on, Wenzi, Liezi, and Gengsangzi had all returned to Taoism. Who agrees and who opposes?

The ministers glanced left and right, looked at each other, and then bowed their heads together: "My emperor's wise!"

This approach is really easy to deal with, but what about the actual effect?

Originally, the thoughts of these people may not be Taoist. In order to be related to Taoism, more lies have been created and more loopholes have been created. Take Wenzi as an example. In fact, he and Confucius were people of the same period. Like Confucius, they had asked Laozi for advice, but just say that Wenzi is Taoism? Is Confucius, who also asked Laozi for advice, also a Taoist?

It was like a very gorgeous Taoist robe that was supposed to be, but it was stamped with a few patches of inconsistent colors on it.

Patch number one.

Then, there was a gap in patch number 1, and later generations patched it again in order to make a far-fetched explanation.

Patch No. 2, No. 3…

In the end, it should be on the extremely gorgeous Chinese Taoist robe. At first glance, there were patches, and only the patches were seen. What was it originally like? My thoughts should have been the understanding of the world, but they were covered little by little without a trace. Only the gods in the sky were left, with colorful colors, but gold and jade outside...

Can I wear it?

It can indeed be worn.

But it shouldn't have been like this originally. What a gorgeous idea and what a beautiful dress, but in the future it turned out to be this patch and that patch?

Fei Qian frowned.

"Shi Yuan stays here..." Fei Qian coughed, "I'm...well, come here if you go..."

Pang Tong turned his eyes for a moment, not daring to smile, but just nodded seriously.

Of course, Fei Qian was not going to change clothes, but was preparing to find foreign aid.

It is known as the library where the great man walks, Cai Jia.

Fei Qian walked into the backyard with his hands behind his back, turned over the corridor, and entered the back hall. He looked up and saw Cai Yan teaching Fei Zhen.

The Book of Songs is listed.

Fei Qian listened to a few words and said it was "Chen Feng·The Pool of the East Gate"...

Speaking of these ancient scriptures, they are like the Three Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Book of Songs, which require the master to explain and teach, otherwise it will be easy to understand one-sidedly, or it will only be seen in its superficial meaning, just like this "Chen Feng: The Pool of the East Gate". If you only look at the literal meaning, then it is just a scene where men and women at the city gate are soaking and washing numbness, and then singing in labor.

But if we add the historical background of Chen State, there may be some new meanings...

After all, an article needs to be related to the context and interpreted according to the background of the article written at that time, in order to be considered as a more correct way to understand an article. However, if someone did not know how to explain it, it would be a bit too much to say that this was a group of dogs and men and women singing lewd songs to each other according to their superficial meaning.

After all, the Book of Songs was also revised by Confucius. If you want to say that this is a lewd song, wouldn’t you slap the old master in the face?

Fei Qian thought of this place and suddenly felt like he had touched something, and couldn't help but stop and frown and ponder.

After a while, Cai Yan taught Fei Zhen to come to an end, and Yingying walked out and bowed to Fei Qian, "I've seen my husband... Is there anything you...?"

"Ah? Oh..." Fei Qian came back to his senses, "It's nothing, well... By the way, do you know what Taoist scriptures there are now?"

"Tao Jing?" Cai Yan opened his eyes slightly, obviously thinking that Fei Qian's question was a bit simple and incomprehensible, "Tao Te Ching..."

"In addition to the Tao Te Ching." Fei Qian said, "I know the Tao Te Ching."

"Apart from the Tao Te Ching, does the Taiping Sutra count?" Cai Yan said again.

Fei Qian waved his hand, "How can Taiping be considered? It's far-fetched. There are many prophecies and divinations, which are obviously faked by later generations, just under the name of immortals."

Cai Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Then there is really nothing to say...what happened?"

In fact, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was actually a book called "Zhou Yisan Tongqi" which was worshipped by Taoists in later generations. However, Fei Qian did not see this book, and Cai Yan did not see it either. Because this book was still in the hands of a Taoist priest named Wei, it is still a matter of whether it was written in full at this stage. Moreover, this Taoist priest Wei no longer had the Sanfu in Chang'an, but in Jiangdong, and it was also an ordinary Taoist priest, similar to articles such as the annotation of the Book of Changes written by Confucian children.

Therefore, if we talk about the Taoist "true scriptures", it is really in short supply.

Fei Qian told Cai Yan about the general situation.

Cai Yan nodded, "If you talk about the true Taoist scriptures, it only means the Tao Te Ching, and the rest... Most of them were written by later generations, just under the name of their ancestors... Since you are seeking the true scriptures, can't you just give the Tao Te Ching?"
