Then, why did Confucius kill Shao Zhengmao and suddenly died for three days? As a great sage, why is Confucius so cruel?
Who is Shao Zhengmao?
Mao, a native of Shandong during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was killed by Confucius in 496 BC. Shao Zhengmao's? Less politics? Actually, it's an official position The ancients added the official position before the person's name, which is similar to calling a person by combining the position and surname today.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, all kinds of ideas blossomed and a hundred schools of thought contended. Shao Zhengmao is a representative of early legalists. The early legalists advocated the reform of law and society, belonging to the reformist school, which conflicted with the conservative thought of restoring ancient ways and rites advocated by Confucius. Mao is a doctor in Lu, and the official is at least correct. After work, I have a dream to become an educator.
Shao Zhengmao opened a library to give lectures and spread legalist ideas. He is famous for his eloquence, which once set off an academic climax in Shandong, and many people rushed to attend his classes. Even most Confucius students are attracted by Mao and often sneak out of Confucius' school to listen to Shao Zhengmao's class.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was also a master of Confucianism. The lectures given by Shao Zhengmao, a representative of Legalism, were very popular and posed a great threat to Confucius' academic status. Confucius held a grudge.
In the fourteenth year of Lu, Confucius served as the chief scout in Lu, taking photos, which was equivalent to the prime minister of a country and had the power to kill and seize. Confucius' first operation was his sworn enemy Shao Zhengmao. Shao Zhengmao, a representative of Legalism, was killed by Confucius with legal weapons instead. Confucius' personal feud, to? Hero of the villain? The crime of killing Shao Zhengmao and violently corpse for three days.
Why did Confucius kill Shao Zhengmao?
The killing of Shao Zhengmao by Confucius was first recorded in Xunzi. Xunzi? According to Sit, Confucius took a photo of Lu, and after seven days in office, he killed the doctor Shao Zhengmao.
Confucius' disciples questioned this: Shao Zhengmao is a well-known scholar in Lu and is respected by many people. Confucius presided over the court for a few days and killed him without asking the charges. Is this reckless approach appropriate? Confucius replied:
My words are female, so they are. People have five evils, and stealing is irrelevant: first, they are ambitious and dangerous; The second is firm and firm; Three: confuse the false with the true; Four: remember ugliness and be rich; Wuyue: Shun is not Ze. If there is one of these five situations, you can't be exempted from the punishment of a gentleman, but both.
Confucius defended himself, and Shao Zhengmao had five major crimes: ambitious and dangerous; Be firm and firm; Argue with falsehood; Remember ugliness to be rich; Go with the flow. What do you mean?
Ambitious and risky, it means that Shao Zhengmao is familiar with ancient and modern times, but he is uneasy and kind; Firm and firm means that Shao Zhengmao is unconventional, violates the etiquette and does not think about repentance; To confuse the false with the true is that Shao Zhengmao preached fallacies and heresies, and also defended himself by arguing irrationally; Recalling ugliness and being knowledgeable means that Shao Zhengmao pays attention to the dark side of society and is knowledgeable and confusing; Shun is not smooth, which means Shao Zhengmao violates moral fashion and causes widespread adverse effects.
Those who do evil are guilty of these five things, which are different from ordinary theft and robbery. As the saying goes, if you want to add a crime, you can always find it. What did Confucius say in Luo Zhi? Five major crimes? In fact, there is no substantial evidence. Then Confucius said:
The former residence is enough to gather disciples in groups, and the words are enough to decorate the evil camp, but it is enough to be strong. This little man is also arrogant and cannot be punished.
Although Shao Zhengmao didn't steal or rob, he gathered people to give lectures, spread reactionary heresy and spread rumors to confuse people, which caused greater social harm. Are villains heroes? , had to kill, but also killed BaoShi for three days.
What effect did Confucius achieve after killing Shao Zhengmao? Historical records? "Confucius Family" records:
(Confucius) Therefore, Dr. Lu was blamed for chaos. With the news of the national government in March, the porridge lamb dolphin was decorated with Jia; Men and women walkers are different from painting; Don't pick up the remains; Guests from all directions who came to the city didn't want to have a division, so they all went home.
After killing Shao Zhengmao, Confucius was in power for three months and achieved very good results: people who sell pigs and sheep in the market dare not drive up prices; Men and women dare not get together on the road to show that men and women are different and do not violate etiquette; Guests from all directions come to the capital of Lu, and they don't have to give gifts and ask for bribes like officials in charge, but they can also get satisfactory reception.
Confucius briefly served as the commander-in-chief of Lu. What is his ruling level? I don't know, but it's against common sense to make remarkable achievements in a short time. So-called? Grades? It's just a whitewash by historians.
Confucius invented it? Literary inquisition?
At the end of the Zhou dynasty, due to the decline of the royal family, the vassal States broke away from the rule of the Zhou emperor, which was equivalent to unilaterally declaring independence. For the rebellion of the vassal States, the Zhou Dynasty could do nothing but let it go. Therefore, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the vassals were divided and conquered each other, so that the people were in trouble and the ceremony collapsed.
In this context, various ideas came into being. A hundred schools of thought contend, and Legalists, Taoists, Mohists, Confucianists, Yin and Yang scholars, famous artists, miscellaneous scholars, peasants and military strategists have stepped onto the historical stage, hoping to convince the vassal states with their own political opinions and unify the situation of war disputes.
What does Confucianism preach? Ren? He advocated restoring the rites of Zhou, maintaining the privileges of the aristocratic class and restoring the rule of the Zhou Emperor. Although this idea of going against the tide conforms to the interests of Confucianism and Zhou Dynasty, it conflicts with the interests of various vassal States, so Confucius has been busy among vassal States for more than 30 years and achieved nothing.
Legalists, on the other hand, advocate the rule of law and the establishment of a centralized country, forming a set of theories and methods. Legalists attach importance to the law, oppose the restoration of etiquette and law proposed by Confucianism, and even more oppose the hereditary privilege of nobles monopolizing economic and political interests. Therefore, legalism is popular among the people, but it is opposed by the nobles.
