What exactly does Manifest Destiny and Personality God refer to List Sentence 5

Isn't it a crime to kill people with good intentions?

This is a matter of opinion, and the following is my understanding, you can not believe it.

The Taoist Mandate of Heaven is the same as the Confucian Mandate of Heaven, both of which understand and respect the concept of Heaven, but the difference is the understanding of the concept of Mandate of Heaven.

The Taoist Mandate of Heaven focuses on the heavens, which is to observe and explain human society from the perspective of the heavens as close as possible, and to look at problems in a way that looks down on all beings. To put it succinctly, it's so-called"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs"He believes that heaven and earth are fair and ruthless to all things, and that everything is meaningless compared to the eternal heaven. He advocates being content with the mandate of heaven and escaping from the world and purifying himself.

Reflected in the later Taoism is the concept of birth, that "cultivating immortals" and "cultivating the Tao" is the foundation of the world, everything in the world is just a passing prosperity, princes and generals are a pile of dung in the end, everyone can not escape their own catastrophe, everyone can not escape their destiny.

The Confucian Mandate of Heaven focuses on human beings, and tries to observe and explain the concept of "Heaven" from the perspective of human beings, which is more realistic. Confucianism emphasizes the unity and interaction between heaven and man (heaven and man induction), and believes that the way in which human society pursues the way of heaven (Tao) is benevolence (morality), and the so-called virtuous people in the world rely on it. Confucianism also emphasizes the fairness and objectivity of heaven, and the so-called "everyone can be Yao Shun" is this truth.

Confucianism is also aware of the limitations and helplessness of human beings, and acknowledges the objective existence of the "Mandate of Heaven", but at the same time emphasizes more on the role of human beings. Therefore, Confucianism emphasizes entering the WTO, practicing the "Tao" with its own strength, changing society and the world, and finally making human society obey the mandate of heaven and achieve the ideal of universal harmony.

Taoism believes that the way of heaven is inactive, all things are self-transformed, and the way of heaven and all things are different levels, and their behaviors are also different, so there is no so-called unity of heaven and man, but the humble attitude of communicating with the spirit of heaven and earth, and not turning a blind eye to all things, but the way of heaven can rely on the self-transformation of all things. This principle is extended to the social field, that is, the king does nothing and the people are self-reliant, that is, relying on the self-action of all the people, and relying on the autonomy of all the people. Among them, the old Huang faction believes that this goal can only be achieved in reality, so they actively participate in social and political activities, and put forward a series of political, economic and military propositions such as following nature, following the trend, leniency and simplifying administration, and recuperation, while the old Zhuang faction believes that reality is full of constraints and restrictions, from the big Kunpeng to the small quill dove, all need to rely on certain external conditions to move, that is, they are all "fearful". In order to get rid of all shackles and achieve complete spiritual freedom, we need a "free life" attitude.

Confucianism believes that a gentleman should strive for self-improvement. Heaven and all things are a simple system that is not stratified, so the gentleman (regardless of the monarch and the people) should directly imitate the way of heaven and strive for self-improvement, this simple attitude of the unity of heaven and man, not only created Confucius's "peace with the mandate of heaven, do the best for the people" of the accessible attitude, but also created the arrogant mentality of "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, and opening peace for all generations", which created a simple society that is inevitably not stratified, so suppressing industry and commerce has become an inevitable choice for later generations.

Look at "Xunzi" for this question, there is an article "Mandate of Heaven" in it, which is very clear.

Xunzi was a master who had a deep study of Zhuzi, and he criticized Zhuangzi for saying that "he is hidden from the sky and does not know people". It means that Zhuangzi only knows the way of heaven, but not humanity. Zhuangzi repeatedly emphasized that he should be content with the destiny of heaven, but did not know that life should be proactive.

The Taoist concept of the Mandate of Heaven can be divided into Laozi and Zhuangzi, which are different. Lao Tzu is to do something from nothing, emphasizing self-preservation; Zhuangzi, on the other hand, is to do nothing for nothing, believing that what is born is the best, and that nothing should be changed, just be content with the destiny of heaven.

Confucianism's view of the mandate of heaven is very positive, because Taoism was born, and Confucianism was entered into the WTO. Confucianism focuses on life, and what should we do in the world? Confucius said, "I don't know life, but I don't know death." He is reluctant to discuss the issue of death because it is more illusory, and he believes that the meaning of life lies in life, and he is committed to self-cultivation and contributing to society. Xunzi said that "heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for the sake of death", the way of heaven does not exist because of Yao Shun's benevolence, nor will it die because of the lack of virtue, emphasizing that "Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement".

Taoism says that man is a natural person, seeking to break free from shackles, transcending himself, and requiring every word and deed to be subject to nature, while Confucian man is a social person, an institutional person based on various social statuses, and he requires people's words and deeds to conform to social norms, so it will restrict people's nature. If a scholar is interested in this, he or she can do in-depth research.

In Taoism, it is benevolence, and everyone is equal.

There are many such sentences in the Tao Te Ching. They believe that everyone comes out of the mother's womb, so there is no difference. There is no distinction between three and six grades. Their cultivation lies in the truth, not in rank.

In Confucianism, they have a clear hierarchy, and their cultivation lies in faith, wisdom, etc.

Taoism starts from the overall view, that is, the universe is an adult, and man is a small universe, believing that my life is up to me, not by heaven, and that people can transcend the shackles and master their destiny through cultivation

In short, the result and the process.

The gods are called primordial gods, and they resemble particles of molecules. The spirit of the ancestors thousands of years ago was omniscient, omniscient, and knew everything. Usually practice in the mantle.
