Of course, Qin Lang has a better understanding of the history of his own nation. At least he has studied the history textbooks in middle school. He admits that Confucianism has a huge influence on the entire Chinese civilization. "Authentic", the popular saying is "everything is inferior, but reading is high". 3
However, Qin Lang really didn't know the relationship between Confucianism and practitioners, so he could only wait for the little monk Danling to give him an explanation.
"Boss, do you know why Confucianism has been so corrupt throughout the ages?" The little monk Danling has also begun to keep pace with the times, and knows how to use words like "***", "Think about it, Buddhism and Taoism are so powerful , but it was still excluded from the mainstream of the imperial courts of all dynasties, and the foundation of Confucianism could not be shaken at all, so you should know how terrifying Confucianism is."
"Don't you say that Confucianism has practice? Where are their monks?" Qin Lang asked.
"Boss, Confucian monks are basically extinct now." The little monk Danling said, "Or, there are still in the realm of cultivation, but Huaxia must basically be gone."
"How to say?"
"Confucian monks, what they pay attention to is cultivating the mind, which is the so-called cultivating the mind. 55 The heart of the Confucian monks is a heart that cares about the country and the people, and cares about the country. The 'qi' they cultivate is not qigong. It's about "awe-inspiring righteousness". Regarding this point, you can ask the people of the Demon Sect to prove it. In the past, the people of the Demon Sect were most afraid of not the people of Buddhism and Taoism, but the people of Confucianism. Although the people of Confucianism don't know Kung fu, but everyone has a great righteousness, once they exhale, they can be combined with the great righteousness between heaven and earth, and any evil spirits, ghosts and monsters will be drunk by Confucian monks!" Little monk Danling said Said, imitating the appearance of Confucian monks, but its movements are too funny.
However, after the words of the little monk Danling, Qin Lang had to face up to the existence of "Confucian monks". After further explanations by the little monk Danling, Qin Lang knew that the practice of Confucian monks was completely different from other sects. All other sects are "cultivating martial arts", but only those of Confucianism are "cultivating literature".
Wen, many people think of him as a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, but those people are not really great Confucians. A great Confucian with a truly righteous heart can not only turn away evil spirits and heretics, but also has an open mind, which can win the love of the common people and the trust of the king above.
In the folk, one can respond to all calls, and govern the country and the country; in the hall, one can scold the sycophants and faint kings, bow their heads and beg for mercy, and avoid them. This is the real great Confucianism, and these talents are Confucian monks. 1
And the most amazing thing is that Confucian monks do not rely on kung fu to transcend themselves, but rely on merit to transcend themselves and become holy through merit. In the era of orthodox Confucianism, there were sayings such as "one fate, two luck, three geomantic omens, four accumulating Yin virtues and five books". To accumulate yin and virtue, that is the meaning of merit. Confucian practitioners believe that merit is the test standard to measure the level of a person's practice, so Confucianism attaches great importance to the study of character and performance, such as "serving as an official to benefit one party", this standard is to test the "merit" of an official like a family. If the examinee fails to meet the requirements, not only will he not be able to get promoted, but he will also be impeached by his officials. Those with high merit can be promoted and reused, and they can display their talents on a broader platform and accumulate more merit.
Qin Lang once sensed the power of merit, so he knew that merit is not so easy to obtain, but it should be feasible in theory to become a saint with merit, because Qin Lang can indeed feel the impact of the power of merit on his martial soul and spiritual realm If the power of merit is strong enough, it should be able to transform a person's ordinary soul into a primordial spirit or a holy soul, until the body is sanctified and the sun soars.
In short, the existence of Confucian monks is indeed a different approach. They are indeed completely different from other religions, because their close integration with the country and the country made Confucianism once the most prosperous religion, which of course refers to the land of China. However, Buddhism and Taoism still exist today, but where is Confucianism
The current Confucian monks have already existed in name only. May I ask the current officials, although they claim to be students of Confucianism, how have they ever had the slightest bit of character of Confucian scholars? A true Confucian relies on his arrogance and righteousness.
What is the strength of character and righteousness of Confucianism
Dare to angrily reprimand faint kings and ministers in the royal hall; dare to die for the sake of the common people, even at the risk of bumping their heads against the pillars and splashing blood on the hall; My heart is for my homeland...
Since ancient times, no one has died in life, and he has kept his heart to reflect the history.
Such people are the real Confucian scholars and the backbone of Confucianism. It is also strange to say that although Buddhism and Taoism have produced a large number of talents, although they have powerful forces, they are far behind Confucianism in terms of character. Of course, except today, the truly virtuous Confucian scholars are probably extinct, and even if there are, they should probably live in seclusion in the mountains.
Confucianists who are full of righteousness have become the best in China.
However, through the explanation of the little monk Danling, Qin Lang also has some understanding of the monks of Confucianism, and he probably knows the difference between this monk. Qin Lang has always been very easy to accept some new thinking and new things. He thinks that the words of the little monk Danling are reasonable. Confucian scholars can still become saints if they only cultivate their minds and strengths. For example, the old man Confucius, this is eternal Saint, there is no doubt about it.
There are many people who have become immortals since ancient times, but how many people can become saints through the ages
How many Confucian temples are there in China, and how many statues of the Master are receiving incense and worshiping? This is the power of becoming a saint, and many people who become immortals only have a few small temples to worship.
Confucianism cultivates the mind, or some monks of Tantric Buddhism only cultivate spiritual power. Although it seems a little unbelievable, it is still possible to achieve results in the end.
Among the monks of Confucianism, there are also alchemists. This is the "Tianxin Pill". The person who refines Tianxin Pill must be a Confucian virtuous person, because Tianxin Pill needs to consume the power of merit.
But there is no doubt that Qin Lang has a very strong interest in Tian Xindan.
