Chapter 164
"Little friend, in the Master's notes, the four words that often appear are the great harmony of the world, I want to ask you, what is the world, what is the great harmony, did your era really achieve the true meaning of these four words?" Mencius asked
, Xiao Xian was silent for a while, he didn't expect Meng Shengren to come up and ask him such a cutting-edge question.
He said, "The world is for the people, and the great unity is for the people!"
Mencius's eyes twitched, and he said, "Oh, can you elaborate on it."
Xiao Xian said slowly: "There is no war
in the world, everything is based on the interests of the people, doing things for the people, doing things for the people, and the world is prosperous, this is the great harmony of the world!" Mencius suddenly took a deep breath, isn't this what he thought in his heart?
He walked in the world, traveled around the countries, and preached Confucian culture and Confucianism everywhere.
Isn't it that there is no war in the world, and there is no more gunsmoke, and the people can live a life of abundant food and clothing, so that they will not suffer the torture of war every day, and they will not have to live in fear in hunger and cold.
However, the difficulty of this process can be imagined, and he took his disciples everywhere to give lectures.
It is surprisingly consistent with the original practice of Confucius Sage, hoping to use the advanced spiritual level to raise the culture of this era to a higher level.
The most important of these is the edification of personal thoughts, especially kings.
A king is the supreme ruler of a country, and his words and deeds are related to the fortunes of the whole country.
Whether the people's lives are prosperous and whether the people's lives can be stable are closely related to the emperor's thoughts.
Therefore, he was in this huge palace today, and he had a knee-to-knee conversation with King Liang Hui.
In order to change the belligerent heart of an emperor.
Although the difficulties can be imagined, he must do it.
"Little friend, how has the humanistic thought and culture of later generations changed, and is there a big difference compared with the present, that is, our time?" Mencius continued.
At this time, Mencius was in the prime of life, less than 40 years old, full of vigor and righteousness.
But the light of wisdom in his eyes has never diminished in the slightest, and the spiritual torrent that accompanies wisdom must be unbreakable.
And the idea of being upright and serving the country and the people is even more precious than tens of millions of gold.
The heroic righteousness in Mencius's body, like the fiercest wind in the world, blows Xiao Xian's heart of the world's great harmony and shakes constantly.
Xiao Xian didn't rush to answer Mencius's question this time, but drank two glasses of wine in succession, and the sour taste in them seemed to become even lighter.
After about two minutes, Xiao Xian toasted Liang Huiwang again, and the other party returned the salute.
Then he looked at Mencius and said slowly, "Old Master Meng, the country we are in is a peaceful country.
Everyone has books to read, everyone can learn, everyone talks about etiquette and honesty, and everyone abides by principles with honesty and trustworthiness.
Those treacherous and cunning people are disgraced by people, and they are spurned by the world.
Xiao Xian continued: "One thing I can't deny is that the era of the younger generation is far more than the human race 2,000 years ago in terms of ideological level.
But this does not negate that your wisdom is inferior, unstreamly, rudimentary and ignorant.
Because human wisdom is inevitably related to the current social environment.
In our time, there was no need to work hard for life and death, and there was no need to work hard to get a bite to eat.
When abundance of food and clothing becomes a reasonable cycle, it is the best moment for the wisdom of a living group to grow wildly!"
in the barrage.
"It's really good, Brother Xian's words are full of philosophy, and they highlight the current social environment.
"Mencius firmly believes that Xiao Xian has traveled back after 2000, and we can also see from this incident that his respect for Confucius is definitely not just a divine friendship at the spiritual level.
"Master Meng's adherence to the spirit of Confucianism and his walk among the countries is actually the same as what Confucius did, which is to establish benevolent government wisdom in the true sense for the sake of all the people in the world. "
