Why didn't Confucianism cultivate an emperor who was a public servant in the world after two thousand years of imperial teacher?

Confucianism, as a teacher of emperors, has made great contributions in the long river of history, although it has not cultivated emperors who serve the public all over the world. In the troubled development of China, at least China is a civilized country. It has its glorious years and outstanding achievements. What is commendable is that civilization has been continued and society has made progress. This also benefits from Confucian education.

Confucius, the representative figure of Confucianism, is a master of ancient culture. He lived in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, when the situation of the Zhou family was weak, the ceremony collapsed and the music was bad, the society was in turmoil, the princes competed for hegemony, and the world was in chaos. It is in this historical background that Confucius faced the King of Zhou from the top to the central government, and the princes of other countries, all of whom were not like kings and ministers, but lacked self-restraint inside and virtue of benefiting the people outside. It will only fight for power and profit, be cruel and reckless, be militaristic and extravagant.

It is precisely because of such disputes and social chaos that Confucius wrote and said with compassion, traveled around the world and summarized the experience of the ancient sages in governing the country, hoping that the rulers of various vassal States could follow the noble virtues of the ancient sages and establish great achievements so that the people could achieve an ideal life of living and working in peace and contentment. In fact, Confucianism is Confucius and Mencius' summary of history and the reappearance of ideals.

the way of Confucius and Mencius is to describe Yao and Shun by ancestors, to establish a civil and military style, and to advocate Yao, Shun and Yu's experience in governing the country, imitating the etiquette and civilization system of Zhou Wen and Wu Wang. Taking the world as the public, the inner sage and the outer king thought, learning from Yao and Shun, leads the world to be benevolent, has wanted to stand up and stand up, and has wanted to reach and reach people. If you accumulate goodness, you will become a virtue. If you are poor, you will be immune to it. If you reach, you will help the world. The way of a university is to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to stop at perfection. The purpose of Confucianism's teaching in the world is to ask the highest emperors to learn from things, to be sincere, to cultivate their morality, to govern the country and to level the world, to have the talent and virtue of saints inside and to be king outside. It is both good at being alone and good at the world. Accumulate good deeds and work hard, and the people will follow them.

It is in this social background that Confucius compiled Poems and Books, defined Rites and Music, prefaced Zhouyi, and wrote Chunqiu, which formed a Confucian ideology and carried forward Chinese traditional cultural beliefs and social ethics. Confucius' political article says: to be political with morality, to be political with Tao, to be unified with form, and to be shameless for the people; The Tao is virtuous, the Qi is courteous, and there is shame and dignity. Everyone has an ideal vision and hopes to live a happy and healthy life. Chinese civilization has always advocated that "the world is one, and all nations are in harmony", advocating and hoping that the world is public and the world is one. As stated in the Book of Rites, Confucius said: "The trip to the Avenue is also different from the three generations of English, and the hills have not been caught, but they are ambitious.

the trip to the main road is also a journey for the common good, so we should choose talents and abilities, and make good faith and practice harmony. An old friend is not only a relative, but also an only son and son, so that those who are old, strong and useful, young and strong, and those who are lonely and sick are all supported; Men have points and women have returns; If the goods are abandoned to the ground, there is no need to hide them; You don't have to do it for yourself. Therefore, it is not prosperous to seek closure, to steal thieves and not to do it, so it is called Datong to stay outdoors. " The ideal vision. It is hoped that moral concepts will be used as social norms, which should be the code of conduct and moral integrity that people should follow, and form a clear ideology and good values. Good manners and customs and moral cultivation benefit from the civilized system of rites and music, so we should make friends, judge suspects, distinguish between the same and different, and distinguish right from wrong.

cultivate character to understand things, and accumulate morality to achieve a career. Literary changes are related to the world, and the rise and fall are related to the time sequence. Culture is the soul of a nation, and civilization is the symbol of a country. Excellent culture is the spiritual pillar of the nation, advanced culture has good universality, and the concept of wisdom has extensive guidance. Confucianism also has its wisdom, which has passed the test of historical fog. In the history of China, there have been prosperous times such as the strong Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which were initiated by Confucianism as orthodoxy, and many wise kings have emerged, such as Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin is an influential figure in the history of China, and his political thoughts are also of great value. Be able to understand the big festival at that time and stand behind the wind. Emperor Taizong's wisdom lies in his ability to bend himself to coachable and Ren Xian, his diligence and frugality, and his generosity and love for the people. During Li Shimin's administration, he paid attention to people's livelihood, put people first, attached importance to people's heart, people's feelings, public opinion, and people's career, and paid little attention to taxes, recuperated with the people, refrained from extravagance and simplicity, and loved the people with courtesy and frugality.

Pay attention to official management, select talents for their abilities, know people well for their duties, be thirsty for talents, take good advice, replace the world with heroes, and attract commoners scholars who have made great achievements; Replace the gate valve with the imperial examination and recruit talented students from poor families. Pay attention to the rule of law, take the lead in abiding by the law, set an example, and be humble. coachable is strict with the law, impartial and without party, and is a king. In the prosperous time of Zhenguan, the monarch is wise and virtuous, the government is harmonious with people, and the punishment is relaxed and the law is slowed down, especially the political strategy and ideological realm of Zhenguan's rule of monarch and minister, which has become a classic and inherited experience for future generations to learn and rule.

A good strategy leads to a good situation. There are no corrupt officials above the court, few prisoners and criminals in the prison, and the roads within the country are not picked up, and the households are not closed at night. The country is strong, the people are rich, the politics is enlightened, the culture is prosperous, and all countries come to the DPRK, and the respect is Tiankhan. The scene described in Zhenguan dignitaries: there are no thieves in business trips, the prison is often empty, the horses and cows are in the wild, the outsiders are not closed, and the rice bucket is three or four dollars, and the travel does not pay for food. Those who take it to the road and pass by will be treated with kindness, or there will be gifts when they send it. This has never happened before.

Strong spiritual strength and great ideological guarantee can not be separated from the economic foundation, which determines the superstructure, and the superstructure reacts on the economic foundation, and the economy and policies complement each other. The productivity of feudal society was low, and it was difficult to meet the social needs. After all, it is still difficult to realize that the world is public and everyone needs what he wants.
