Bell) taught that the teacher of the Chief Teacher of the Confucianism “political Confucianism” had gained something but was still confused. Therefore, in August 2008, he went to the Longfang Yangming Temple to visit the Chief Teacher. After several days of discussion, he analyzed the doubts. Teacher Yang Ruqing was here. Zeng Xueling, a department of Philosophy in Qinghua, has been authorized to publish it publicly on the Confucian network to treat readers. Because the full text is longer, it is divided into two chapters, and this is the next chapter. 】
Betanning: Let’s discuss it now. In your “Political Confucianism”, do I think it has been checked in a hospital? “The deepest thing is the problem of the recognition of the “Dao of Heaven” and the problem of power distribution in “domestic politics”. Because the physical recognition of the “Dao of Heaven” is related to the distribution of power and has great differences with modern Eastern political philosophy, can you not talk about this problem in detail?
官网: OK. Regarding the problem of “the way of heaven”, we actually have a connection with the problem we talked about below, that is, among the crowd, who can understand the way of heaven and who cannot understand the way of heaven. The Confucian answer to this question is: the sages can recognize the “how of heaven”. Even if their behavior is suitable for the “how of heaven”, they will not be able to recognize the “how of heaven”. Therefore, Confucius said, “If you use it every day without knowing it”, “do not know” means not knowing the “way of heaven” that comes from social life.
Modern Confucians, Shun, Yu, Tang, King Wen, Duke of Zhou, Confucius, Mencius and even later generations of great scholars can all recognize the “way of heaven”. For example, Cheng Shuzi said, “Although my school has taught me, the word “Tianli” is recognized by one’s own body, not by the name of the name.” Teacher Yangming, the head teacher of the female college student’s nursing club, also believed that the “confidant” as the “Heavenly Enlightenment” was recognized by the body of “Dragon Field Enlightenment”. No matter what the words are, Dong Zhongshu also recognized the “Dao of Heaven” from the yang movement of “Tian”.
It is just because the content of “Heavenly Way” is very subtle, and there are so many profound differences between “Heavenly Way”. “The way of heaven” is not a philosophical subject, and it cannot be defined by the concept through sensibility, that is, what Cheng Shuzi said, “not from the name of the name,” and what Teacher Yang Ming said, “is unrelated words.” Therefore, although the “Dao of Heaven” is eternal and unchanging, the “Dao of Heaven” has infinite energy in history, so the understanding of the “Dao of Heaven” also has infinite energy in history.
Precisely because of the “Dao of Heaven”It has the ability to expand infinitely. Mencius recognized a layer of face, Dong Zhongshu recognized a layer of face, Cheng Zi recognized a layer of face, Zhu Zi recognized a layer of face, Teacher Yang Ming learned a layer of face, and these are some expressions of “the way of heaven” in history.
So, for the physical understanding of “Heavenly Way”, the key problem is whether you can recognize the existence of the saints, and whether you trust that some people in the crowd are much better than ordinary people in terms of life wisdom, mind and nature cultivation, physical ability, virtue and conduct. These people are the holy gifts that Confucius said that “the top is wise and the bottom is foolish”, that is, the holy gifts such as Meng, Dong, Cheng, Zhu, and Wang mentioned later. This is the condition of “Heavenly Way”. If you do not acknowledge this condition, then it will be the most basic thing that does not mean “Heavenly Way”. Because “Heavenly Way” treats people, “Heavenly Way” will be obscured without being the same person.
So, we must recognize the existence of the holy treasure. The most important feature of the holy treasure is that we can fully recognize the “way of heaven”. Confucius said, “The upper part of the middle person cannot be used as a word”, “the upper part” refers to “the way of heaven”, and “the lower part of the middle person” refers to popular and popular people. Because popular and popular people cannot understand “the way of heaven”, the sage tells the “way of heaven” that they recognize themselves (“the first part”) that the popular and popular people cannot understand, so they can only ask popular and popular people to abide by the “way of heaven” (“to it”), but they cannot ask popular and popular people to understand the “way of heaven” (“to know it”).
In addition, Confucius also said: “A gentleman is at the top, and a gentleman is at the bottom.” “A superior” means knowing the “way of heaven”, and “A subordinate” means knowing the “desire of profit”. Therefore, as long as the virtue and wisdom of human beings are saints and righteous talents who understand the “way of heaven”, they cannot be defeated by popular people. This situation is similar to other religions. For example, Moses is the holy of the ecclesiastical religion. He can understand and convey the will of God, but popular believers cannot overcome it. God only talks to Moses, not to popular believers.
Why did God choose Moses as a speaker rather than someone else as a speaker? This is God’s secret meaning, and no one knows, but we know at most that Moses is a religiously outstanding holy figure among the sentient beings of the Episcopal Church. As long as he can understand God’s words (“God of the Age”), God chose him, and then told him the content of the “way of heaven” and the precepts, and then let him tell those common people. There are also many prophets in Islam who recognize the “way of heaven” in this way, but the content they recognize is not as similar.
In short, only the holy figures in humans have the ability to recognize the eternal “way of heaven” beyond the divine – that is, the eternal value beyond the divine.
Betanning: After hearing your instructions, I understand the question of the 平台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台台� The problem is that “compliance with the law” is a political concept, “The way of heaven conforms to the lawSpecificity is not a problem that touches individuals, but a problem that touches politics. So, what kind of relationship is human and “the way of heaven conforms to the law”?
学: According to Confucian political thinking, only those who know the way of heaven have the qualifications to govern. This is a fantasy political form, and its highest form is “the politics of the sage king”. In ” In the history after the Three Dynasties, although there is no longer the fantasy form of “Saint King politics”, in principle, it is still believed that people who recognize the “Heavenly Way” should govern, and those who recognize the “Heavenly Way” are the holy sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred “The second-level political situation that retreats in history is also the political situation that Confucianism seeks in the “Kingless Age”.
What is a saint? The most basic definition of a saint is that a person who recognizes the “way of heaven”, that is, a person who grasps the highest value of the universe, life and historical civilization. Therefore, in the view of Confucianism, only a saint’s figure has the qualifications and talents to govern Yes. This brings us to a question: What kind of people should be represented by “politics in accordance with the law”? Only after this problem is solved can we talk about the question of what kind of people should be possessed with political power.
There is no doubt that Confucianism believes that only saints are qualified and can represent “the way of heaven conforms
