Why can you rule the world by learning half of Confucius?

Isn't it our classmate, I'm Yao Zengwen, I've been checking it for a century.

Half-step: I guess so.

Because there are a lot of principles about governing the country through learning.

It is of positive significance for reducing the burden of the lower strata of the people and alleviating social contradictions.

People-oriented is the core idea of Confucius.

Righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world.

For the sake of politics and morality, at the same time, the annexation of 'benevolence'

It is that there is enough food, there is enough armament, and the common people trust the rulers.

Zi said:"Enough food, foot soldiers, and the trust of the people. "Zigong said:

must go as a last resort, which of the three comes first? "Said:"Go to the soldiers.

Zigong said:"I have to go, which of the two comes first? "Said:

Go to eat. Since ancient times, there have been deaths, and the people have no faith and cannot stand. "

Translation: Zigong asked how to govern the country. Confucius said:

Food was plentiful, armaments were plentiful, and the common people trusted the rulers. "Zigong said:"If one has to be removed, which of the three should be removed first?

Confucius said:"Remove the armament.

Zigong said:"If one more has to be removed, which of these two must be removed? "Confucius said:"Remove the grain. Since ancient times, people have always died, and if the common people do not trust the rulers, then the state cannot exist. "

It is "the hearts of the people." ”bai

The core of Confucius's political thought is "zhi li" and "benevolence", and in the strategy of governing the country, he advocated "virtue for the government", and governing the country with tolerance and morality and etiquette is the most noble way of governing the country.

This kind of statecraft is also called "rule by virtue" or "rule by etiquette". This strategy applied virtue and courtesy to the people, strictly followed the hierarchical system, and divided the nobles and commoners into those who ruled and those who were governed. It broke an important boundary between the aristocracy and the common people.

Correcting the name is Confucius's most important political proposition.

The purpose of the name is to maintain a well-ordered society, so that people have certain norms to follow and not live in an unpredictable state.

In short, it emphasizes an order that is to act in accordance with the code of ethics.

Half of the Analects to Rule the World is a colloquial saying from an ancient text. It refers to Confucius's idea that thought is beneficial to governing the country. It doesn't necessarily govern the world.

There is also half of the treatise on the world, and the world has not been able to govern the world.

Of all the sons and hundreds, only the Legalists can be unified.

Others, whether Confucianism or Taoism, have a common flaw:

Confucianism used the people to suppress the monarch, Taoism used the Tao to suppress the monarch, and Mohists suppressed the monarch with ghosts and gods.

None of them seek to maximize the interests of the monarch.

But once their political blueprint is to be implemented, it is invariably necessary for the monarch to carry it out.

Confucianism is not the king's land under the whole world, Taoist sages are unkind, and the people are used as dogs, and the Mohists are still the same as Shangxian.

Therefore, they propose a political framework that limits the monarch, but let the monarch implement this framework, and the result is bound to be failure.

The political framework of Legalism should also be implemented by the monarch, but it advocates the maximization of the monarch's interests. This leads to the fact that Legalism is the only school of thought and means that is unified, and the monarch is willing to implement their ideas, and in the end only Legalism succeeds.

Confucianism is indeed suitable for governing the world, but in essence, it is an auxiliary to the Legalists to rule the world. Legalism advocates the supremacy of the monarch, but from a practical point of view, the monarch cannot be above all his kind, so the monarch needs to satisfy the interests of a certain group of people, so that he has the basic plate of rule. The monarch of the Qin State relied on the emerging landlords and military nobles, so the Qin State quickly accumulated strength for unification.

After the unification, the military aristocracy had no effect, and the monarch needed another batch of basic plates. And Confucianism has found this basic plate, which is the bureaucracy. As a result, the system of electing officials appeared, and the monarch divided part of the power to the bureaucrats, and the bureaucrats who obtained benefits surrounded the monarch, forming a huge network of interests and becoming the ruling class of feudal society.

This is the reason why Confucianism is "suitable for ruling the world". In a sense, Dong Zhongshu is more of a Legalist than a Confucian.

However, the world where Confucianism is suitable is the world of the feudal era, not the world of the current world, and now you want to use Confucianism, then I can only suspect that your motives are not pure.
