Huayu after the system left

............

Zhou Yang knew.

His actions these past few days must have angered Liu Shishi.

To avoid adding fuel to the fire, they explained things with great care.

About the Tao Te Ching.

The version passed down through generations was definitely altered by the Manchus.

There is no doubt about this.

After all, even the Confucian and Mencian doctrines, which were valued more by scholars and officials, could not escape disaster, let alone the Taoist thought, which was valued more by the orthodox Chinese tradition.

Some people even doubt whether the Tao Te Ching is actually called that.

Gradually.

Some people then began to refer to it as Lao Tzu's Three Thousand Words.

This is merely a difference in terminology.

In recent years, several different versions of the Tao Te Ching have emerged from archaeological discoveries, leading to increasingly diverse interpretations of the text.

Every sentence, even every single word, has many different interpretations.

Zhou Yang was no exception.

He didn't believe in any particular interpretation, but instead studied it little by little on his own, and only recently began to use the distinction between large and small in "Free and Easy Wandering" to read "Tao Te Ching".

There will be a great harvest.

In modern terms, this means macro and micro perspectives.

Just like.

If we consider the Tao Te Ching as the way to govern the world...

The former is the entire world.

The latter, however, is specific to each individual.

Both are indispensable.

Therefore.

Zhou Yang's understanding of that sentence is...

In the process of learning a certain field, you will inevitably become more and more confused, and this will only increase as you delve deeper into it, until you fully understand it and can master it completely.

At that time, without needing anyone else to remind you, you will be able to feel it yourself; it is a feeling of complete and thorough understanding.

Abbreviation: Attaining the Way.

After listening, Liu Shishi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You didn't have to add those last two words. They made me feel like I was facing a charlatan. Alright, you guys chat. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare something to help my sister-in-law."

Wait until they leave.

Brother Wang asked with interest, "Your interpretation of this sentence is quite interesting. When did you come to that realization?"

Zhou Yang said with a smile, "It was during the process of writing the script that I abandoned all my preconceived notions and became completely immersed in Taoist thought. Many things suddenly became clear and integrated. I truly felt that sense of clarity that arose spontaneously."

"So you're saying all those previous versions of the 'Zhu Xian' script were scrapped?"

"Brother Wang knows me well. But don't worry, it's just a matter of combining several versions and doing some addition and subtraction. It won't take too long."

"That's not what I'm worried about, you brat. Tell me honestly, did you come up with the name 'Wilderness Journey'?"

Zhou Yang instantly understood why Brother Wang had asked that question.

no way.

West of the Central Plains.

It was a barren land known as the Wilderness.

A group that knows only how to plunder and not how to create has repeatedly come to the Central Plains to cause destruction.

All the methods he learned from the celestial book were ways to kill.

The key is.

Although the various sects within the Demonic Cult are constantly at war with each other, even devouring one another to strengthen themselves, they transform into a coalition bound by the belief in an evil god whenever they invade the Central Plains.

It has everything you need.

A little research into what the real West is like will make one marvel at how similar the two are.

But Zhou Yang swore that the name "Wilderness Journey" had nothing to do with him.

So he immediately retorted, "Don't wrong an innocent person. If you want trouble, go find Xiao Ding. Those are all settings that were originally in the original novel of 'Zhu Xian'."

"It's not like I haven't seen it before. Xiao Ding only briefly mentioned many things, but you blatantly connected them in this script and even wrote them as key plot points."

"What? It won't pass censorship?"

"No, that won't happen. I'm just reminding you that this kind of veiled criticism will definitely cause controversy after the movie is released, so you'd better be prepared."

"Wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting guilt? Are they really that stupid?"

"What you said makes sense."

Just then.

Zhou Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "How about I take the lead and set the pace?"

"You brat, you better not mess around. If you stick your neck out, it will definitely cause a major diplomatic incident."

"Don't worry, I don't need my physical body."

Brother Wang immediately became alert. "What are you trying to do?"

"Hey, don't be so nervous. It's just about using a disguise to infiltrate the enemy. Even if someone tries to cover their mouth after the movie is released, I'll personally make everyone make some unfounded connections."

"Damn it, I regret it. I shouldn't have let you liberate your mind."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang's smile widened rather than diminished. "What's done is done, Brother Wang, just face reality. Help me get two phones with IP addresses that show up overseas."

"Two more?"

"It's fine to have more than one, since I've already thought of many key points, and I'll definitely need to operate under several different aliases."

Please explain in detail.

"It seems you've agreed, Brother Wang."

"Is opposition effective? Besides, I already knew about your alternate Weibo account. Are you sick in the head? You're always leading the charge in criticizing yourself."

"I learned it from the politicians at Xida University. Since the core problem of slow writing speed can't be solved, the only thing to do is to provide a channel for book fans to vent their emotions. I'm just asking you, has the number of razor blades your company received decreased?"

Brother Wang was dumbfounded. "So it turns out there were signs all along. No wonder you used those methods so skillfully; you had already practiced them on yourself."

"Hey, it's just that the sequels to both of my long novels aren't suitable to be published right now."

"What do you mean by that? Doesn't the Ethics Committee praise socialism?"

You'll find out later.

Zhou Yang smiled mysteriously.

The Ethics Committee's original opening was...

As communism is about to complete its historical mission, what spiritual strength should the Chinese people use to support themselves and continue to move forward?

Looking back.

He then quoted the most widely accepted line from the Tao Te Ching.

Therefore, when the Way is lost, virtue follows; when virtue is lost, benevolence follows; when benevolence is lost, righteousness follows; when righteousness is lost, propriety follows.

It describes the process of a society as a whole continuously declining.

Zhou Yang then added two sentences on his own initiative.

Disrespect leads to lawlessness, and lawlessness leads to profit.

I doubt even I would have imagined that.

In his eyes, the most backward ritual society was already quite advanced, since the overall governance of the world still relied on the self-discipline of individuals at the ritual level.

Zhou Yang was too lazy to say whether a society governed by the rule of law was more advanced or not.

Let's make a brief comparison.

The law is about making people aware of the consequences of wrongdoing and punishing those who do wrong according to the law.

It's essentially using intimidation to force individuals to exercise self-discipline.

This is an external factor.

Etiquette is about self-discipline.

This is an internal factor.

The relationship between the two has been explained very clearly in "On Contradiction".

External factors are the conditions for change, while internal factors are the basis for change. External factors act through internal factors.

and so.

I don't know how some people have the nerve to boast about how advanced a society ruled by law is every day.

Not to mention that the current world order is a product created with interests at its core, and China, being embedded in it, has inevitably been affected.

Driven by self-interest, losing all humanity is bound to happen sooner or later.

This is the fundamental reason why more and more humanoid creatures are appearing.

Therefore.

Reviving Han culture is of utmost urgency.

After all, no one would say that the social atmosphere was good before 2012, right?

Especially after a judge said, "Why did you help if you didn't hit him?", the already dwindling moral standing plummeted once again.

Things only started to change in the last two years, but by then the idea for the Ethics Committee had already begun to be written.

Again.

We must use the people-centered historical perspective to understand a particular era by examining the overall spirit of society.

Do not listen to those who are overly "objective." Articles that begin with these two words are basically an over-interpretation of a particular passage.

This is taking things out of context.

Here's one approach.

True objectivity involves interpreting things from either a micro or macro perspective, while authority combines both. If you only take a middle-ground perspective, the article is utter nonsense.

The middle perspective focuses on describing a particular group while blurring the lines for other groups, but in doing so, it is used to demonstrate how terrible society as a whole is.

This is called generalizing from limited information.

Taking things out of context, along with quoting out of context, are both tricks that humanoid creatures excel at.
