    Because of the traditional Chinese feudal society, Confucian culture was taken as the main idea. So when people's minds are unified, there is simply no new saint possible.

    Because human beings have become less concerned about literature in the later period, and more have studied science and technology, literature has become weaker, and only by focusing on literature can saints be produced.

    How many saints were there in ancient times? Just take the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period as an example, just in this one dynasty, there was a grand state of a hundred schools of thought contending in China. Not to mention Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Zhuangzi and other gods, there are also Han Fei, Shang Ying, Guan Zhong and other people who have the courage to change the times, not to mention how many wise men can be cultivated in China's thousands of years of long history.

    But contemporary we have found that there are very few gods now, if there are a few masters in the society, we will be amazed for a long time, and there are almost no saints like Confucius, what is the reason for this, the following Yang Yang will express his own opinions.

    First, people's living standards have improved. In the era of war and chaos in ancient times, people often lived in dire straits, in such a society, people often had doubts about the way the rulers took the way of governing the country, so there were some such people, they taught their own ideas in the society, when these ideas are in line with the voice of the people, let the people see hope, they will naturally become saints, but in contemporary times, the society is very stable, people's lives are stable and well-off, and no one will express their opinions at will. The abundance of life is already very satisfying, and there is no need for other ideas at all.

    Second, the dissemination of information in ancient times is very difficult, a person's thought transmission is often through writing a book or people's oral transmission, this way of information dissemination can be as complete as possible to spread the words of the saints, so it is often easier to cause social resonance, and modern society has developed science and technology, people want to make a statement as long as they move their hands can be published on many platforms, this quick way makes the spread of ideas seem very boring, most people just join in the fun, after reading it and forget.

    Third, the exchange of information between countries in the current society is very convenient, the culture brought by various countries makes the society very diverse, the exchange of ideas between countries has also become frequent, and the intersection of various ideas has greatly increased people's acceptance of various new things, so it is difficult to have any earth-shattering remarks now.

    Although it is unlikely that there will be a saint like Confucius in modern society, we should feel fortunate, which just proves that our society is very stable, war does not exist on the land we live in, this is a symbol of national peace, but also the best gift brought to us by the times, of course, we should also actively understand the thoughts of the ancients, which is easier for us to understand history and discover the truth of history.

    I used to think there was. I think there is now, too. But I don't think I'm any.

    People have molded saints into gods. And I have shortcomings. And there are some innate things that cannot be changed. So I can't do that.

    You feel like you've done it, and there you have it. If you can't do it, you won't. Live well. Don't break the law, don't violate morality, don't go against your will. You are the best.

    I think it is the times that have created saints, because with the continuous improvement of science and technology, people are more inclined to science and technology.

    Because most of the ancient times were troubled times. Saints generally appear when they want to be quiet in troubled times. I think it's the times that have created saints. It is also the era of the interpretation of the saints. They are mutually reinforcing.

    Because the lives of the people in ancient times were very hard, I hope that there is one person who can save them, and this person is a saint. Therefore, it can be said that the times have created saints.
