Confucianism is a double-edged sword. Obeying the superior is an ignorant theory. Whoever owns it has the right to rule. But success also led to Xiao He's failure. It is precisely because of fools and obedience that thousands of fools who know nothing but loyalty to the monarch and filial piety to their fathers have emerged, leading to the widespread corruption of bureaucratic groups and eventually to the decay of political power. Xu Heng, a famous scholar in the early Yuan Dynasty, started with Confucianism in his childhood and was called "Northern Confucianism". He first suggested to Kublai Khan: "Anyone who rules the land by China can be the master of China." This provided a legal basis for the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. It means that as long as you rule the Han people according to their methods (Confucianism), you are the natural master of China. Whenever the regime changes, many Confucian scholars will spy on the direction, like Xu Heng. However, this thought originated from the Confucian sage Mencius. For reference, please refer to Huang Renyu's Fifteen Years of Wanli, Li Junping's Blind Spot of the Theory that People Value Gentlemen (Social Science Forum, 10, 2008). The Yuan Dynasty did as Xu Heng said, and it really succeeded. Confucianism was the official school of Yuan Dynasty. "Xu Heng is amazing." In addition, there are Liu Dehui and others, and so on. Some of them call themselves "Bo Yi" and "Shu Qi" of Confucianism, but they make suggestions for the new rulers together. Mainly includes: Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and so on. To serve the rule together. These are adopted. For example, Zhang Zongyan (the grandson of Zhang Daoling's 36th generation) and Qiu Chuji. Ceng Yun, the latter said, "In the next 20 years, the world should be unified ..." He made public opinion preparations for the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and was named Shi Tian. Incorporate into Tibetan Buddhism. Absorb the leader of Ye Jia Sect of Islam and make him the master of the empire. Ananda and others were admitted and 6.5438+0.5 million people converted. Take in Jiangnan celebrities. The core is the old system of Inner Mongolia and foreign Han and Mongolia, and the patriarchal clan system and imperial autocracy of the Han nationality are the coat. Tao's record of dropping out of farming in Nancun once made people deeply moved. Among them, the most important thing is to accept Jiangnan celebrities, because these Confucian scholars and celebrities are the backbone of the Yuan Dynasty's rule of the Han nationality. Later, they colluded with each other and put forward the imperial examination system with Zhu's four books and five classics as teaching materials and standard answers ... So, the whole Han nationality became a mental prisoner. For Confucianism, having an emperor is enough. Where there is an emperor, there is someone to worship. The essence of Confucianism is to serve the monarch. Some intellectuals, such as Guan Hanqing, also resisted, but only in a hidden and tortuous way, taking folk or marginal literary forms. The resistance of other intellectuals went astray. Without the input of new ideas and methodology, they can only counter Confucianism with Confucianism (such as Luo Guanzhong). They don't know that the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was actually formed by using Confucianism and the advice of Confucian masters, and it was stabilized by instilling the imperial examination system with Confucianism as its content. In ancient China, China intellectuals knew nothing except Confucianism. Later, the Qing dynasty also used Confucianism to control the Han nationality, which also worked. But the system is slightly different-the core of Han patriarchal clan system and imperial power autocracy is just a coat with the old Manchu system. Confucianism-a spirit faltering, a pot of soul enslaved chicken soup! It destroyed the people and mocked the rulers. Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha. ...
