The understanding is as follows:

Confucius’ wisdom is actually to bring peace to the world and make the world peaceful. Don’t let me beat you and hit me to cause such chaos, which will eventually lead to the destruction of mankind.

So Confucius advocates etiquette more, because etiquette is the glue that allows society to maintain stability. Otherwise, people will be as shameless as animals, and human civilization will not be produced. At the same time, like animals, they will go crazy once frightened, unable to engage in production, and become aggressive (from the "Book of Rites" and Xunzi's point of view on why we should be polite).

Of course some people will say that Confucius worshiped the ancients and Zhou rites and was stubborn. The problem is that in his time, the only decent rites were the Zhou rites. Yin and Xia were too far away, and rites and music collapsed in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is unrealistic for him to create his own set of etiquette. After all, he is not enlightened and there is no stable society for him to test.

So in modern society, as long as it can maintain social stability, it is equivalent to possessing the wisdom of Confucius. Fortunately, humans have created nuclear bombs, which are much more useful weapons than Confucius’ wisdom. Of course, once it gets out of control, the consequences will be much more serious.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, Confucius’ wisdom was not useless, but it should not be used in governing the country. Doesn’t Marxist socialism sound good to him? This is the path that New China has practiced through the lessons of blood and tears.

Of course, ordinary people can try to cultivate themselves and manage their families, because Confucianism itself has its own way of taking care of oneself.

People who study Confucianism sometimes have unclear minds, because from the perspective of God, it is easy to get confused. Blindly believing in those theories and ideas that are limited by ancient productivity and systems is, of course, what sunspots often fail at.

This is like blindly worshiping the method of drilling wood to make fire and giving up lighters, or the black primitive people who do not know how to use lighters actually want to drill wood to make fire. Living in modern society, compared with the ancients who used lighters to make fire, a sense of superiority arises spontaneously.

As long as we eliminate those things that are limited by ancient productivity and slavery or feudal systems, what is basically left is the essence that is applicable to all ages, present and future. Only these essences can truly nourish people. Soul, instead of messing with people’s brains and trolling and trolling people on the Internet.

Confucius (September 28, 551 BC to April 11, 479 BC), whose surname was Kong, whose given name was Qiu, and whose courtesy name was Zhongni, was born in Zou Yi, the state of Lu (now Qufu, Shandong Province). City), his ancestral home is Liyi (now Xiayi County, Henan Province) of the Song Dynasty. He is an ancient Chinese thinker, politician, educator, founder of the Confucian school, and "the most holy teacher of Dacheng".

Confucius created the style of private lectures and advocated benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. He had three thousand disciples, including seventy-two sages. He once led some of his disciples to travel around the country for fourteen years, and revised the Six Classics (Poetry, Book, Rites, Music, Book of Changes, and Spring and Autumn Annals) in his later years. After his death, his disciples and subsequent disciples recorded the words, deeds, quotes and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled them into The Analects of Confucius. The book is regarded as a Confucian classic.

Confucius was one of the most erudite scholars in society at that time. He was revered as the "Sage of Heaven" and the "Muduo of Heaven" when he was still alive. He was also revered as the Saint of Confucius and the Holy Saint by the rulers of later generations. , the most holy teacher, the most holy teacher of Dacheng Wenxuan Wang, the teacher of all generations. His thoughts have a profound impact on China and the world, and he is listed as the first among the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World".

With the expansion of Confucius' influence, the "Confucius Ceremony" to worship Confucius once became a major sacrifice on the same level as the Chinese ancestor gods.
