In other words, Confucianism in later generations is actually the product of deformity. Although it retains a lot of essence, it also develops more dross. As Confucius said, "How can you be straight if you repay evil with good?" The original meaning of this sentence is "if you are kind to the enemy instead of revenge, what will you use to repay the benefactor?" However, in later generations, only "good for evil" is available, as if good for evil is right, that is, the code of conduct, that is, what Confucius meant.
But in fact, Confucius did not advocate good for evil. In order to maintain the rule, later Confucianism asked people to repay evil with good, but if you can do it yourself, forget it. In fact, good for evil is usually said when others want revenge. That is to say, it is even more outrageous to let others return good for evil, but they can't do it themselves.
This is just like the western media like to misinterpret news now. The same event, the same video, is edited into two completely different things, which is misinterpretation.
"If you let me die, I have to die" is really stupid, no matter whether the other party is right or not. This is the set of "monarch, minister, father, son, son" and the three cardinal guides and five permanent members that began in the Western Han Dynasty. That set was completely shaped by the rulers of later generations, and Confucianism was just a coat that was used by people.
