Why did Confucius, who lived more than 2,500 years ago, propose such an ideal society?

Translation: At the time of the Great Dao, the world was shared by all people, and there was virtue. Talented and virtuous people are elected (to do things for everyone), and everyone pays attention to honesty and advocates harmony. Therefore, people should not only support their parents and children, but also enable the elderly to live their lives, the middle-aged to serve society, the young to grow up smoothly, and the old without wives.

Old and husbandless people. Children who lost their fathers at an early age, and those who are old and childless. Persons with disabilities are supported, men are required to have occupations, and women are required to be married in a timely manner.

People abhor the abandonment of goods on the earth, but not for their own enjoyment; Abhor the unwillingness to do one's best in common labor, and always refrain from working for personal gain. In this way, no one will engage in conspiracy. There will be no theft and rebellion, so there is no need to close the gates, that's what it's called"Datong"Society.

The time of Confucius was a time of constant war, and people longed for a stable life.

Confucius's concept of "Datong World" is clearly recorded in the Book of Rites and Rites: "The journey of the avenue is also the world for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the cultivation of faith and harmony." Therefore a man does not kiss his own kinsman, nor does he have only his son.

So that the old have the end, the strong have use, and the young have growth; The widowed, lonely, and the disabled are all supported; Men have a share, women have a home; goods, evil is abandoned on the ground, do not have to hide themselves; Force, evil does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. It is because of the plot that it is closed but not prosperous, the theft and thieves are not done, and the foreign household is not closed. It is said to be a great harmony".

That is to say, the society where the road passes, the world is shared by all people. Elect virtuous and talented people to do things for everyone, and everyone pays attention to honesty and advocates harmony. Therefore, people should not only respect and support their parents, not only love and nurture their children, but also ensure that the elderly can live their entire lives, that the prime of life can have jobs and incomes, that young children can grow up smoothly, and that the old and without wives, the old and without husbands, the children who have lost their fathers at young ages, the old and childless, and the disabled can be supported.

Men should have careers, and women should be married in a timely manner. People abhor the abandonment of property and goods on the earth and store it, but not for their own enjoyment; People abhor the unwillingness to do their best in common labor, but they do not work for personal gain. In this way, there will be no conspiracy, no one will steal property and start rebellion, and every household will not have to close its door.

This is called the "Datong" society.

The first is the social system of "the world is for the public". This "public" includes the public ownership of property and the public ownership of power, and first of all, the public ownership of power. Tang man Kong Yingda explained in "The Book of Rites and Justice":

The world is public, which refers to the position of the Son of Heaven, Yao does not pass the throne to his son Danzhu, but teaches it to Shun with holy virtue in the way of concession; Shun also did not pass on the throne to his son Shang Jun, but also passed it on to Yu who had holy virtues in the form of concessions. Such public ownership of power is a guarantee of public ownership of property.

The second is the management system of "selecting talents and abilities". This is a concrete measure for the passage of the avenue of "the world for the public". A person who manages social affairs is a person who has been elected by the people to be virtuous and talented. The power to elect meritocracy lies in the "world", that is, the people of the whole society.

The third is the interpersonal relationship of "stressing faith and cultivating harmony". In a society where "the world is for the public", honesty and harmony are the prominent manifestations of harmony between people, and this kind of good interpersonal relationship is the harmony of the world.

Fourth, social security for each according to its place. It is precisely because of the harmony between people that people can treat people with a public heart, respect the old and love the young, and the elderly, the prime-aged, young children and the "widowed, lonely, and sick" can be cared for and protected by the society. Men have something to do, women have something to do, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.

Fifth, a stable and orderly social order. People have a high sense of responsibility, cherish the wealth of society very much, hate all waste, and oppose selfish behavior. People do what they can to work for society, and it is shameful to fail to do their best in their work and to work only for themselves.

The social order is good, people have a sense of security, the road is not lost, and the night is not closed.

Confucius's thought cannot be denied in its entirety, and indeed part of it is worthy of recognition, but I think it is more obscured than good, and the bad is greater than good. Safeguard the interests of the feudal emperor, blindly rule his subordinates, and blindly make people pay for their lives, feelings, and lives!

The so-called "inherent goodness of human nature" is even more terrible hypocrite, Nietzsche said that "morality is the false propaganda of the exploitation of the superior by the inferior!" "Confucius is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality to flaunt others, and let good people be generous, kind, and selfless dedication, isn't it just to let good people be bullied by bad people? Not facing evil is not enough to talk about good, and Confucius can be said to be a high-level bad person.

Therefore, I think that Confucius's ideas are not worth advocating, especially the feudal one, which should be seriously resisted!

I think there is. Confucius's thought is still of great significance in education, and it is very important to teach students according to their aptitude and learn from each other.

I think it is very meaningful, Confucius taught us to be honest and benevolent, these ideas are very important for everyone's life, if everyone can do it, it can make the development of society a little better.

Insulting their own culture and heritage, praising the stinky feet of the West, these people are actually not highly educated, and they don't understand what the way of Confucius and Mencius is, and the way of Confucius and Mencius is also the way of life, no wonder many people are wearing human skins now, and what they do is not a personnel ,......The enemy is not to be feared, and the most terrible thing is the moths in his own camp, and many things are defeated in their hands.

Mr. Lu Xun is talking about these people. Some people are good at criticizing the ancients, and they use their current knowledge to support the backwardness of the ancients, but in fact, if they were born in that era, they would be bullshit as they are now, because they are nothing in modern times. All history is in line with many things of that era, such as the necessary conditions for insight and thinking, many ancients and some people in history are wrong in modern times, but in which era, it is definitely the most correct decision, because they do not have the insight and thinking of modern people, and there are no necessary conditions.

Learn to respect history, that is, respect yourself, after all, you will also become history. If you don't want to be scolded by future generations, learn not to scold history!

There are merits, there are dross, Taoism is the great wisdom that adapts to no matter what society, learning to understand the Tao Te Ching, can make people smarter, and the society is better, Ma Zhe also translated the Tao Te Ching, and was translated by the Chinese people for the second time, and the Chinese people directly learn the Tao Te Ching! If you had studied the Tao Te Ching, or Ma Zhe, you would not have asked such a question.

I think that the meaningful side is to teach people to be kind, respect discipline and law-abiding, family harmony, and social stability; On the pointless side, it is easy to make people conservative and rigid in thinking, which is not conducive to innovation and change.

It makes sense for stupid people, it doesn't mean for wise people, pay attention to what I mean: there is no good or bad between stupidity and wisdom here, just words used to distinguish different people, that is, whether stupid or wise, there is no distinction between high and low, good or bad, just different, there is no standard, and to put it more colloquially, it is for some people, for some people, for some people, for none, for none.

There is no doubt that Confucius is the great thinker of the Chinese nation in our country! In fact, any thought is not to feel that it is all-encompassing, it is completely right, not perfect, it has its merits, Confucianism is desirable to talk about etiquette, but it is not the cowardice of the Chinese nation, but also to talk about a degree, there are Xunzi, Han Feizi, lecture dignified Chinese men, stand up to the sky and stand up to the man, our martial arts culture is about Zheng Zheng iron bones, good men have backbone, never cartilage. Scholars also talk about being upright and never bending their waists for the powerful!

Treat money like burning earth!

Confucius thought can promote the development of society, can make society more harmonious, can also make society more peaceful, can let people learn to understand each other, mutual understanding.

Examining the questions of students' sycophant kung fu, as long as they are willing, anything will be meaningful, Confucius has a lot of thoughts, and you can write an essay if you mention one or two at will. However, what contemporary teenagers lack most is not slogans and beliefs, but the ability to think dialectically and analyze the pros and cons of various things.

There is a certain significance in personal self-cultivation Don't take it out to show ugliness in governing the country The times and the economic foundation have changed.

That's, what is most lacking in today's society is the orthodox ideology of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, not the cultural traditional thought after the Southern Song Dynasty, there is no kind of thought in this world that suits the appetite of the Chinese nation, only its own culture is suitable for this nation! The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is mainly the revival of national culture and the revival of talents.

This is not a binary question. De-extremification, de-religiousization, dialectical view and analysis of Confucianism and various theories. In particular, combined with Chinese history, world history, and the history of humanities, science and technology, and economic development, to understand and study Chinese traditional culture can accurately grasp and develop national culture.

Resolutely oppose the deification of a certain culture. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation must follow the path of a community with a shared future for mankind, and on this road it will inevitably collide with various backward forces at home and abroad, and even underworld forces. It is not feasible to stick to traditional culture, and only by persistently taking Marxist theory as the guiding ideology and developing and creating a culture acceptable to all countries and nationalities in the new era can we achieve the goal.

First of all, we need to reinvent ourselves.

Confucianism as a representative of Confucius. It has been popular in China for thousands of years, which shows its deep origin. I believe that every doctrine has its essence, so we should critically inherit its essence and remove its dross, and it is wrong to fully affirm and deny it comprehensively.

It definitely makes sense. Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

Marx and Engelsism have undergone Sovietization and Sinicization, and it can be seen that ideology is not immutable, but is always developing. Marxism still needs to be perfected and selected, so why can't Confucius Thought more than 2,000 years ago develop with today's times? The connotation of "benevolence", the combination of knowledge and action.

1. Many moral concepts that people agree with, even the thinkers of Gu Yanwu in the Ming and Qing dynasties were criticizing the inheritance and development of Confucius thought. Strange, really weird!

It doesn't make sense, because now people are basically incurable.

I don't think there's any point anymore!

It doesn't mean much to the people, but it makes sense to people who engage in politics.

More than 2,000 years ago, the ghost knows what ideas he has, they are all imposed by later generations according to their own needs, so you don't have to pay attention to it, and you can insist on whatever ideas you need today!

Look at who you are right, in what environment, depending on how much you have enlightened, and also depending on what group or individual you are targeting, if you are an admirer of Confucianism, you go to Taoism to give lectures, or do promotion, aren't you kidding? To distinguish, there is nothing good or bad.

You can learn from Confucius's thoughts, positive and progressive thoughts, and get rid of its feudal persecution.

Benevolence is the highest state of human thought, and only when we reach this state can we correctly understand and tolerate! Deal with everything in the world!!

People-oriented, everyone has a conscience, and the society can be harmonious.

Taking its essence and removing its dross is the reason why China's 5,000-year-old culture is endless.

The lack of great power in today's society is the wisdom of Confucius and Mencius.

Whatever thoughts, we must keep pace with the times!

First of all, under the social conditions of the time, the driving force for the progress of society lay in unity, which could only be obtained by force. Therefore, for most countries at that time, instead of accepting Confucianism and being conservative to the outside world and being eliminated by other countries, it was better to adopt Legalist thought, establish a feudal land system, and implement the legal system to maintain their own rule. On the other hand, they should occupy the land of other countries as much as possible and annex other countries, so as to stand out in the era of warring states.

Confucius's Confucianism and other ideas that promote virtue, benevolence, and love can only be ignored

And why did Su Qin's Lianheng policy and Han Feizi's Legalist thought prevail? I think it is probably because the Legalist ideology met the requirements of the times and the wishes of the emperor at that time, so it can probably only be explained in this way.

Of course, there is another reason, both the doctrines of Confucius and Mencius have certain flaws, and the way they speak also makes it impossible for the kings to follow their advice.

Confucius's remarks were often a gesture of education, while Mencius's remarks were often a gesture of criticism.

Confucius and Meng's statement only illustrates the negative consequences of not following their doctrine, while Su Qin's Wu and his judgment are from the perspective of the opposing king, such as how much benefit this can give you. They spoke in a way that was so clever that they were easily accepted by the kings on high.

I think this is probably an important reason as well, because different ways of speaking have different effects on different people, so don't change the way you usually talk to people you know well. Different audiences have different results.
