What is the impact of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius on the creativity of Chinese?

They not only have the passion to save people and save the world, but also have a set of central ideas to realize their ideal society. Young people born in modern times, who accept the test of the times, want to reform the social atmosphere, and create a new environment, if they study the doctrine of Confucius and Mencius and practice ethics and morality, they can certainly obtain many valuable enlightenments and salvation principles.

Kong said that he became benevolent, and Meng said that he took righteousness. What is benevolence, Mencius said that benevolence loves others; What is righteousness is to behave in accordance with moral norms (personal understanding is a series of morality advocated by Confucianism, such as loyalty, filial piety, and faithfulness). Personally, I feel that Confucius gave Confucianism a benevolent heart, and Mencius gave Confucianism a steel bone of righteousness.

It seems to me that the Tao has the meaning of the way. If we want to get to a certain destination, we have to follow a certain path. If we want to practice a certain ideal, we must also follow a certain line.

The way of Confucius and Mencius can be said to be the route to be followed to achieve the ideal of Confucius and Mencius's salvation. "The Way of Confucius and Mencius" is the "Confucius and Mencius Route". This can also be said to be a "central idea".

We have a central idea that we want to dictate our every word and our whole life. There is a passage in the middle of the saying that says: "Those who are also in the Tao must not be separated from it; can be separated, not the way.

Confucius and Mencius were born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. As far back as 2,500 years ago, wars could break out between nations at any time; "Heresy and atrocities" are prevalent in society, and people's hearts feel uneasy everywhere. Its turbulence and confusion are much more similar to those of modern times.

Confucius and Mencius understood the causes of social ailments at that time, and thought that it was necessary to "correct people's hearts and put an end to heresy" in order to save the turmoil and crisis.

Confucius is the world's greatest educator and thinker, founded a private school to break the aristocratic class education monopoly so that the Chinese nation got out of slavery early, Xingtan lectures let everyone be equal and progressive, "Spring and Autumn" guided Taishi Company Ma Qian to write the "Historical Records", advocating Zen to let the emperor and the emperor panic, to filial piety to let the world know the feedback, Mencius questioned King Xuan to let the imperial power know the powerful relationship, Han Yu contradicted the imperial power to let the spirit flow forever in the world, Sima Qian was willing to be a student, Zigong was willing to keep filial piety for six years, and the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties were willing to bow down, Xin Qiji, Su Dongpo, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Yue Fei, Liu Zongyuan, Sima Guang, Han Feizi, Wang Anshi, Wang Yangming, Qian Mujixian, Lin Jao Zongyi.

The doctrines and ideals of Confucius and Mencius represent the broad and profound cultural foundation of our country. Although the ideals of "royal road" and "great harmony" advocated by Confucius have not yet been realized, the doctrines of Confucius and Mencius have had a profound and great impact on Chinese society over the past 2,000 years.

Confucianism is a product of thousands of years ago, and some of its ideas seem outdated today. However, great things have premises, and the ideas that appear old and decadent in contemporary times cannot hide their greatness more than 2,000 years ago. Whether you accept it or not, we all have the shadow of Confucian culture.

Personally, I like Mencius very, very much, and none of the classical Chinese books I have read so far have had such a big impact on my mind as Mencius. The favorite is Mencius's nourishing Haoran spirit, the idea of being a big husband, that is, the three cannots and three joys of a gentleman.

I am more inclined to think of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius as a philosophical thought. Confucianism established a stable system of social relations through the "Three Principles and Five Constants", which was urgently needed by the ruling class at the time. The reason why Taoism was abandoned is, firstly, because the idea of governing the country of "small countries and widows" is really incompatible with the vast land area and growing population of the Han Empire, and secondly, the idea that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted an active national strategy and foreign wars that can be matched with a high degree of centralization and efficient action.

Conformity inhibits innovation.

With the development of education from ancient times to modern times, the form and content of education have undergone great changes in both China and foreign countries. The Tao of Confucius and Mencius is certainly not a mainstream culture to this day, but it is the most important part of Chinese culture (Chinese culture) and the cornerstone of the Chinese national character. The transmission of this inner culture is inherited through education.

So. The first point (educational development) inheritance lies in the consistency of content dispersion. This consistency is the consistency of the essence, not the original copy. (Nope).

The second point of inheritance lies in the continuity of the form of education. This form has two meanings: one refers to a purely external form of education, such as word of mouth, the use of classroom forms, etc. The other means that education and envy are taught from children, focusing on young education.

To the present, of course, lifelong education is also advocated, but the stage of the main education has not changed.

The third point is that there is a consistency in the theory of education itself. The educational theories mentioned in this lecture, such as Confucius's ideas of "teaching students according to their aptitude" and "rushing to search for defeat and teaching without class", are still very correct, shining with the dazzling light of educational rationality. The pluralistic education advocated so far is actually the same as Confucius's educational philosophy.

Mencius and Confucius are both people of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The difference between Mencius and Confucius: different personalities, different writings, and different ideas.

1. Different personalities.

1. Mencius: Confucius was biased towards generosity.

2. Confucius: Mencius was more cynical.

Second, the writings are different.

1. Mencius: "Mencius".

2. Confucius: The Analects

Third, the proposition is different.

1. Mencius: Mencius advocated "righteousness".

2. Confucius: Confucius advocated "benevolence".

Kong said that he became benevolent, and Meng said that he took righteousness. The core of Confucius's thought is "benevolence", hoping to build a harmonious society, mainly from the perspective of social benefits and social harmony. Mencius's thought is rooted in the people, advocating the implementation of benevolent government, advocating that the people are noble and the monarch is light, and more representing the interests of the people.

One, they were all once thinkers.

Second, they are all Chinese.

Three, they are all men.

Fourth, they are all dead.

Confucius advocated the maintenance of the old order. Ask for the gift of the resumption week. Mencius was rooted in the people. Put forward the idea that the people are noble and the monarch is light.

In the later period, Mencius gradually put forward a view that was more suitable for social development, and took its essence on the basis of Confucius's theory, which gradually appeared in the eyes of the public.

Mencius inherited Confucius's thoughts, and on top of his own understanding, there was a certain amount of innovation, and then there was a better development.

Confucius was a well-known thinker in China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Mencius is also a well-known representative of Confucian ideology and culture. He was called Chang Xian and dressed as "Ya Sheng". Stove resistance is also very respectable.

Mencius was a Confucian master after Confucius. Mencius (c. 372 BC – 289 BC), known as Ke (kē), was a native of Zou (now southeast of Zoucheng, Shandong). During the Warring States Period, he was a philosopher, thinker, politician, and educator, and one of the representatives of Confucianism.
