Confucianism represented by Confucius came into being in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, a hundred flowers blossomed and a hundred schools of thought contended, which was a great era in which China's social operation system was gradually formed. It is also an era of the replacement of old and new systems, and various theoretical schools emerge one after another. It's really your turn to sing, and I will appear. There are not many theoretical schools that can survive in the world through big waves.
The Confucian school, represented by Confucius, has always insisted on maintaining the orthodox system as its research purpose. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was not accepted by the mainstream schools of society, which led to the exile of Confucius' Confucian classic The Analects.
It is this hard-won Confucianism that has injected soul into China's civilization for thousands of years. The history of China is changing in blood shed, and all ethnic groups are constantly taking root and blood through the soul condensed by Confucianism in the bloody struggle. Let Chinese culture take root in the storm. Due to the relative stability of political power and the strong vitality of Confucianism, social conditions have been created for the survival, protection and development of other schools.
Confucianism is based on the mind of not abandoning fine soil and eclecticism. Let Chinese civilization live forever. It is no exaggeration to say that without soul of china of Confucian culture, China would have been assimilated by other cultures.
I think, if the Chinese nation is compared to an ancient tree that has lived for 5,000 years, then Confucian culture is the main root and trunk of this ancient tree. All other theories are attached to the main root and trunk.
There are indeed some people in China who are playing the role of protecting China's traditional culture. They are disgusted by modern people because they are complacent, oppose enterprising and change the inappropriate status quo.
In fact, these two kinds of people, I think, are people who have a specious understanding of Confucian culture, not so-called literate people. They turned a blind eye to Confucius' request for a teacher from Laozi's school, saying that three people must have a teacher and there is no class for teaching. These well-known theories of Confucius School turn a blind eye.
In fact, the people-oriented and people-oriented thoughts of the Chinese nation all come from Confucius' theory. The so-called old people who say they are Confucius School speak highly of them. In fact, they are not guardians of classical culture at all, but are afraid of losing their jobs due to social progress. Confucianism in China has always been tolerant of other cultural schools in China, so why didn't Confucianism in China stop the oppression of western powers? The problem is that those rulers, if they follow the western road, will lose the qualification to rule the country. Will they promise? They will try their best to protect their vested interests, so they will artificially close their doors, and eventually inevitably fall behind the times and suffer the bad luck of the backward and beaten nation, which has nothing to do with Confucius' Confucianism.
I am sure that those who say that Confucianism is dross and those who desperately reject the rejection of Confucianism by modern culture are all people with ulterior motives. The former is trying to break my Chinese roots. The latter is famous for helping western anti-China forces to stop the progress and revival of China in order to keep their jobs.
