Such a simple and crude method has been prosperous for a long time in the ancient Chinese nation and the Northern Empire. Even though the Northern Empire has been ruined, there are still a large number of people who firmly believe that those words and stories are true.
The reason why people believe in things that are obviously impossible is not only because their knowledge reserves cannot form effective judgment, but also because the society they live in has too many problems and is far from meeting the basic standards of fairness and justice, which makes them resentful. These people are the easiest to be exploited.
Fang Yun believes that if the demon world, where basic education is poor, encounters an unprecedented ideological attack, the impact will be immeasurable.
Fang Yun has decided that after returning to the Shengyuan Continent, he will have a detailed discussion with the Western Saint and secretly cultivate power in the demon world. He will use advanced methods of later generations to crush the demon world ideologically, incite the barbarians and the demons to confront each other, and provoke class conflicts between the lower and middle and upper levels.
At the same time, Fang Yun will advise all the saints to prohibit the spread of certain similar ideas within the human race.
Looking at King Langyuan and King Shutai who were devoted to spreading Confucianism, Fang Yun became alert. In order to prevent Jing Kingdom or the human race from suffering similar attacks in the future, which would lead to the division of the ethnic groups, he must solve this major hidden danger after returning to Jing Kingdom.
When the great northern empire was divided, an ignorant ethnic policy was implemented, so much so that the head of state who later came from the KGB criticized the founder of that policy more than once.
Fang Yun decided on one of the things he would start planning after returning to Jingguo.
"Humans of the same race!"
A complicated look appeared on Fang Yun's face. Before he became a great scholar, his plan was to avoid the imperial court and take the simplest and easiest path to canonization.
However, after being promoted to a great scholar, especially after obtaining the power of decay and getting closer to the holy way, Fang Yun had a new understanding of everything, especially the holy way, Jingguo, Confucianism, and the human race.
You can only choose the most difficult path!
Any shortcut to the holy path can achieve personal success, but will inevitably lead to the loss of the opportunity to save humanity.
Between himself and the human race, Fang Yun chose the latter.
This is the only choice for Confucian disciples.
"Continue to go!"
In fact, the New Annotations to the Great Learning, the New Annotations to the Doctrine of the Mean, and the New Annotations to the Mencius were not completed, because Fang Yun did not finish adding the final punctuation marks, nor did he formally compile them into a book. This was to facilitate revisions and to avoid causing unnecessary anomalies.
On the way, Fang Yun no longer taught the two demon kings the contents of the Four Books, but began to teach the two demon kings the Five Classics, namely "Book of Songs", "Book of History", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn Annals".
Because it was not a new annotation, it basically took the strengths of various schools, which was equivalent to a collected annotation. Therefore, Fang Yun spoke fluently and taught all the way. He only stopped when the Mosquito and Fly Machine found a target that could be robbed.
While listening to the books of sages, they were always ready to rob; while being a demon, they had to act as Confucian disciples to deal with demons. The two demon kings felt as if their heads were split, and it took them several days to get used to it.
After Fang Yun finished explaining the Five Classics, he began to talk about the history of the human race.
After finishing the human race's history, Rat Tai King asked in confusion: "There is one thing I don't understand."
"Tell me." Fang Yun said.
"Ban Gu, a semi-sage, once proposed that 'the hundred schools of thought originated from the royal officials', which means that the source of the hundred schools of thought was actually the official positions or official institutions of the Zhou Dynasty. The royal official theory believes that Confucianism originated from the official of Minister of Education, while later generations determined that Confucianism originated from musicians, and historians originated from historians. In the Zhou Dynasty, musicians were official positions, but they also referred to official positions of musicians, including the Grand Master of Music, the Grand Secretary, the Minor Secretary, the Master of Bells, and so on. The Zhou Li clearly pointed out that the main duties of musicians were three, namely dance and music, sacrifice and education, so Confucius often linked ritual and music together and called them ritual music. So, you have no objection to the fact that Confucianism originated from the lineage of musicians?"
"Confucianism is related to musicians, but it did not originate entirely from musicians. Please continue." Fang Yun said.
"In addition to musicians, the Zhou Dynasty also had historians. Of course, these historians are different from historians. The duties of historians are to record and manage documents, such as the censor, the internal historian, the chief historian, the governor, etc., while the Grand Historian is the official who records history. The other historians are all related to documents or classics. Is what you said about historians correct?"
"There is no mistake." Fang Yun said.
The King of Shu Tai said: "I have seen documents written by some rebellious scholars in the demon world, who believe that the six arts taught by Confucius, namely 'ritual, music, archery, charioteering, mathematics, and calligraphy', are false, which are commonly known as the small six arts. Because Confucianism comes from the lineage of musicians, it can only pass on 'ritual' and 'music'. Let's not talk about archery and charioteering for now. The "Book of Han" records that the 'book' of the Zhou Dynasty was written in calligraphy, such as the word book "Boxue" and other related books, which were written by historians and used for examinations; and the place where 'mathematics' was taught was the elementary school, which was in charge of the historian, and the place where the musician was in charge was the 'university', which was completely different from the elementary school. So those rebellious scholars believe that Confucius only taught ritual and music, and that saying Confucius taught the six arts was just self-boasting by Confucian disciples."
"Go on." Fang Yun knew that Rat Elimination King had something else to say.
"In addition, Ni Zhong also believes that Confucius's transmission of the 'Great Six Arts' is also false. The Great Six Arts include the six books of "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Music", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of History", "The Book of Changes" and "The Spring and Autumn Annals". The history books clearly record that the musicians are responsible for sacrifices, but divination is managed by the historians. The so-called "The Book of Changes" was obviously written and passed down by the historians. As for the "Spring and Autumn Annals", "The Book of History" and "The Book of Rites", there are musicians involved. For example, the musicians perform rituals and the historians are responsible for recording. The musicians recite the "Book of History" and "The Spring and Autumn Annals" and the historians pass on the books and record the events. Because the ancient Shengyuan Continent recited history orally, the historians simply wrote the outline of history, and the musicians were responsible for reciting the specific content. The original text of the "Spring and Autumn Annals" is concise, while the "Zuo Zhuan" becomes very detailed, so the "Spring and Autumn Annals" should have been written by the historians, and Confucius did not participate. Later, Zuo Qiuming annotated the "Spring and Autumn Annals" to form the "Zuo Zhuan". There is no such thing as Confucius revising the "Spring and Autumn Annals". How can the musicians replace the historians?"
"Then, we can see that there is a clear division of labor between historians and musicians. Therefore, the "Book of Rites", "Book of Music" and "Book of Songs" may belong to the Confucian tradition, but the "Book of Changes", "Book of History" and "Spring and Autumn Annals" should be inherited by historians. Similarly, among the six minor arts, Confucius and Confucianism should only teach "etiquette" and "dance and music", and never teach arithmetic and writing."
King Langyuan knew that King Shutai had read more books than himself, but he didn't expect that he had read so many more. He was stunned when he heard it.
Afterwards, King Langyuan secretly looked at Fang Yun, wanting to know how Fang Yun would answer. If Fang Yun also agreed with these statements, he might become a rebellious person.
Fang Yun smiled calmly and said, "This statement has some truth. Except for the fallacy that musicians should not participate in the management of primary schools, each of the other examples has solid evidence. However, the process of argumentation is not comprehensive, which leads to the final argument being wrong."
"Please give me some advice, sir." said the King of Rat Tai.
