We already have Taoist and Confucian cultures, so why should we introduce Buddhist culture?

Because of the Chinese nation.

It is a nation that is compatible with all things, and it is also a very practical nation, able to absorb all rivers, swallow the sun and the moon, and absorb everything that is useful to itself!

Strictly speaking, the culture of the Chinese nation is the culture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the ancients had a cloud, "red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, the three religions were originally one family", which is what it means. According to Nan Huaijin.

The teacher's elaboration together forms a cultural structure similar to a pyramid:

1. Confucian culture is the base of the tower, constituting the basic content of the Chinese nation, and the core idea is "Gewu, Zhizhi, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world", which is applied to life, that is, to listen to the words of almost all parents: "Children, you have to study hard, find a good job in the future, and be a useful person to the society." So, Confucianism.

Similar to food and drink, not eating or drinking is dead.

2. Taoist culture is the body of the tower, and the core idea is "advocating nature, ruling by doing nothing", this "non-action" is not inaction, nor does it do nothing, but conforms to the laws of nature, and pays attention to the induction of heaven and man and karma. So Taoist thought.

Similar to a hospital, if you have a disease, you have to go to the hospital, not only to find out the cause of the illness, but also to find a prescription to remedy.

3. Buddhist culture.

It is the top of the tower, and the core idea is "clear mind, liberation from life and death, and transcendence of reincarnation", in modern terms, "that is, when you have eaten and drunk enough, it is time to consider spiritual things"; Or "people who meet material needs will inevitably have spiritual needs", the biggest reason why the trend of faith in today's society has entered a new upsurge is that people find that they are full of food and drink but still feel unhappy, so they begin to find the reason from the spiritual level! So Buddhism is similar to a supermarket, you don't have money to go in, rub the air conditioner, look at the products, feel happy, buy small things if you have a little money, buy big things if you have a lot of money, take what you need, and get what you want.

Therefore, for the Chinese nation, Confucius.

Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni.

The most influential first recommendation of Confucius!

Not to mention those who are vain, Liu Zhuang, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, introduced Buddhism for the purpose of immortality. The Taoist family is immortal, it is alchemy, but alchemy is purely a dog with a chew on Hule, and many people have died after eating, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died like this!

But the emperor is obsessed, China's old way is not good, then ask a foreign monk to try, so the foreign monk is good to chant the scriptures!

Foreign monks! However, he has been influenced by advanced theories in the birthplace of religion for a long time, and his foundation is very solid. People don't refine pills, they play with lipsticks, pay attention to cultivating this life and spend the next life, who do you ask to cash in on the things in the next life? It's a mystery of the big donkey. But the emperor is persistent, so he believes it.

But then again, who calls the old Taoist to be real-minded, he has to smash the pit on the spot, give people alchemy in this life, give people cash, and can't practice it, then don't wait to find a draw!

Our country already has nine chapters of arithmetic, why should calculus be introduced? Quite simply, it's different in the depth of the discipline. Continue to learn in depth.

The core of a certain culture is his worldview theory, if you understand the theory of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, there will be no such problem, but most people do not understand, here is a brief explanation, the lowest level of Confucianism, the theme is how people do in society, the summary is the standard of behavior of gentlemen, and the society is inferior and inferior. This mode of social operation was due to the social turmoil of the Spring and Autumn Period and the social needs of the Han Dynasty after its stability. Whether it's good or not won't be discussed here.

The root of Taoism is Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, which talks about the laws of the universe of life, so it is difficult to understand such a large scope, and various explanations, including self-righteous interpretation, are actually a lot of distorted interpretations. I won't go into specifics here. Buddhism is also talking about the cosmic reality of life.

Here are a few more words, that is, the ultimate meaning of human life, the ultimate reality of the universe, the orthodox religion developed by human beings for thousands of years is actually studying and explaining this problem, this is the ultimate problem of human beings, simply put, the ultimate of philosophy, modern times from mathematics, physics and chemistry and other disciplines have summarized formal logic, etc., but this is not all. The real inductive theory comes from everything in real life, from everything induction, extracting the common and common theory and the final common theory, what kind of theory is it, in the whole society, it is generally a few high-level wisdom people to realize that most people are too far away from this, the fact is existence, existence is the truth, we have introduced the Buddhist culture, which is the need for calculus.

Yes, Confucian culture is no different from Confucianism, both are traditional Chinese culture, but Confucian culture has been inherited for a long time and has a wide range of inheritance, so Confucianism has been produced.

What are the main ideas of Confucian culture?

Confucian culture should be a cultural and artistic school with Confucianism as its basic ideology. Confucianism was founded by Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It advocates the ethics, career, self-cultivation, and social moral objectivity of direct blood relatives.

Its themes are forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, fraternity, courage, kindness, justice, ritual, wisdom, and faith. Confucianism was favored by generations of rulers, and the inheritance and development of Confucius's post-Confucius, played a key role in the development of Chinese culture and art. In the deep consciousness of the culture and art of the right country, the imprint of Confucianism.

Are there any drawbacks to Confucian culture?

Focusing too much on justice and ignoring interests, resisting people's desires. Human desire is one of the driving forces for human development. Confucius rarely talked about theory.

Mencius was not good at thinking less. He came to Dong Zhongshu, a thinker of the Western Han Dynasty, and put forward the basic theory that the right path does not seek profit. These are all suppressions of human desires, imagine people having no desires.

Therefore, Confucian culture has always had an egalitarian tendency. After this trend, it will become an extreme psychological concept of hatred and wealth. On the premise of resisting impulses, Chinese culture and art, especially Confucian culture, have always had the idea of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

This perception has developed a tendency towards bureaucracy on the one hand and a resistance to the development of commercial services on the other. Therefore, China's traditional social development has always been an agrarian society, while economic and social development has always been in a situation of inhibition and extreme development.

Confucianism focuses on the environmental ethics of extended family conservatism and blood relationship conservatism, and suppresses individual rights and democratic ideas. In fact, both the three outlines and the five ethics exist in the acquaintance society. I think it's a matter of public morality.

Once in modern society, public morality will be overflowing, social morality will be neglected, and there will be real fairness in society and a lack of real care. In other words, I just need to be nice to my favorite people and no one else has anything to do with me. This has led to an apathy to contemporary social morality, the basic rights of citizens, and the sense of democracy.

Confucianism is not a religion, but a school. Confucian culture is a part of Chinese culture, Confucius admired Zhou rites, Dong Zhongshu proposed the three outlines and five constants, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and respected Confucianism alone, but it also included a lot of hundreds of cultures, the so-called Confucian skin bones are proof. Strictly speaking, Confucian culture belongs to a hodgepodge of etiquette, morality, and regulations.

No, in fact, Confucian culture is a combination of the three, and he does not completely advocate some ideas of Confucianism, but instead integrates these three ideas together and picks some of the best.

No, but it belongs to Buddhism, because Confucianism also pays attention to the past and present lives, fate, and Confucius did not establish a special Confucianism.

Confucian culture is not Confucianism, Confucian culture is just a culture, and there are many types of Confucianism, which are the unity of many cultures.

Because the content of Confucianism is particularly rich, and the inclusiveness is relatively strong, the Taoist thought of cha feast is a complete system theory formed by Lao Tzu set the great wisdom of the ancient sages, and the center of Buddhism is precepts, concentration, and wisdom, which has a positive impact on the development of modern society and the thought of Zheng Xin in the people's internal defeat. auspicious.

Because the three traditional cultures of Heng Congsheng are the most influential in Zheng Min's China, and they have lasted the longest and developed for the longest time, so they will be called the three pillars.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the three major schools of Chinese traditional literature and cherrying, and the relationship between the three has undergone a long evolution.

The following points will take you to understand the difference between Confucianism and Taoism:

1.The nature of the culture is different.

Confucian culture is a cultural school with Confucianism as the guiding ideology, and was written by Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period. Pay attention to blood and family ethics, meritorious work in the present world, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and moral rationality. The Taoist school pays attention to immortality, drawing talismans to drive away ghosts, and doing nothing to rule.

2.Thinking differently.

Confucian culture, Confucius as the thought leader, with Zhou Yi, Shangshu, Book of Poetry, Book of Rites, Zuo Chuan and other books as classics, emphasizing benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, with benevolence as the core.

The core of Taoist culture is the belief in Taoist gods and immortals, and the ethical thought of Taoism reflects that Taoism is a low-level popular folk religion, but it is almost related to countless Fu Shui Ke and Zhai Sects, and there is no philosophical speculation.

3.Traditions are different.

The Taoist tradition of "all people are noble" is rich in the character of cultural health, which is also the profound significance of Taoist culture in health culture.

Confucian culture is based on "benevolence", "propriety" and "moderation", these three aspects continue to this day, Confucian ideology and culture is not only the philosophy of morality, the philosophy of education, the philosophy of life, but also the philosophy of politics, focusing on the idea of benevolence and the idea of people-oriented and the idea of happiness with the people.

The differences are as follows:

First, the cultural theme:

Confucian culture is a positive and enterprising culture, and Confucianism advocates the acquisition of knowledge and the cultivation of moral character, which is a positive culture.

Taoist culture follows the law of culture, Taoism follows the law of nature, advocates the rule of inaction, and goes with the flow, which is a culture that respects nature and respects the law.

The culture of selfless dedication in Buddhist culture, which contains compassion and good fortune in Buddhist thought, is a culture of selfless dedication.

Second, the standard of life:

Confucian culture benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and piety, Confucianism has very high requirements for the standard of life, a total of nine points, benevolence is benevolence, is the core of Confucianism, righteousness originally refers to appropriateness, that is, behavior is suitable for etiquette, etiquette is the political and ethical category of Confucius and Confucianism, and wisdom and knowledge are the basic categories of Confucius's epistemology and ethics.

Faith refers to the honesty of treating others and not deceiving, the attitude of consistency between words and deeds, forgiveness refers to forgiveness, do not do to others what you do not want, loyalty refers to honesty and loyalty in dealing with others, filial piety is respect for parents, and love for brothers.

Taoist culture enlightenment, indifferent to fame and fortune, Tao is the core of Taoist culture, Taoist founder Lao Tzu believes that the Tao is the origin of the world, all things in heaven and earth have the Tao and are born, and the Tao is also the universal law that exists in all things, the two contradictory opposites and the mutual transformation of the opposites are completed by the Tao, only by understanding the Tao, can we better conform to nature.

In addition, because it is indisputable, the world can not compete with it, and it is also completed by using the transformation of ideas, indifferent to fame and fortune, and not fighting is also fighting.

In the Buddhist culture, the concept of reincarnation of cause and effect is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is a good reward for doing good deeds, and bad deeds must taste bad fruits, so Buddhism advocates that believers have compassion and accumulate more good results.

3. Outlook on life:

Confucian culture is positive and enterprising, meritorious service, the Analects for the government has a saying that I have five out of ten, and aspire to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and the ear, seventy and from the heart, do not exceed the rules, this sentence is the best interpretation of the Confucian outlook on life, people should be thirty should stand, should be meritorious.

Taoist culture goes with the flow and self-improvement, and the Taoist concept of going with nature is to master the law of the Tao and live in harmony with nature, which is by no means a simple and easy thing, and if you want to master the law of the Tao, you need to think more, observe and learn, and self-improvement.

The Buddhist culture is kind to all sentient beings and selfless dedication, and the Buddhist culture has the concept of karmic retribution, which emphasizes the equal compassion for all things in the world, selfless dedication, and transcendence.
