Chapter 482: The Theory of Equalization
Because Linzi's service industry is very developed, the Bimei Competition is supported by all parties, and soon organized it in a decent manner. What resources are needed, and all walks of life donated generously. Because Yuelai Inn proposed the idea of naming, many merchants are willing to provide their own products in exchange for naming rights.
The Bi American Competition will soon be approaching.
There were a total of eight beauties participating in the American Competition this time, and the information had been released through Yuelai Inn, which attracted everyone's praise and look forward to it.
Even the Jixia Academy was full of talking about the voices of beauties, and the students were also unwilling to study and just wanted to watch the beauty competition.
When Mencius saw this, he could only say one thing, "Born from suffering and die from happiness."
Zhuang Zhou was also helpless about the atmosphere in Linzi and said, "The people of Linzi don't seem to live in the Warring States Period."
Indeed, Linzi had too little sense of crisis, so Linzi City was later destroyed by Yan State, and Qi State never recovered from it. Linzi was too far away from the war, so it was a sensation and peace.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are being staged on the territory of small countries, and strong reforms are being staged on the territory of big countries. Although Qi is also rectifying the administration of officials, it is really difficult to associate the situation in Linzi with the Warring States Period.
Zhuang Zhou sighed and lost his words. He had no interest in comparing the US competition. He just felt that the joys and sorrows between countries were indeed inconsistent. In order to change the law, the Qin State in the West was holding a large-scale competition for the US competition. It was also a country on China's land, but the gap was so huge.
A strong country will not sympathize with a weak country at all, but will take advantage of the situation and annex the weak country. The strong will attack the weak, the weak will attack the weaker, and the stealing of the hook will kill the princes.
"The world is hopeless." The more lively Linzi became, the more Zhuang Zhou felt that the world was corrupt, so he hid in his room to study the theory of Qiwu.
Although Zhuang Zhou couldn't stand it, after meeting a large number of scholars in Linzi, Zhuang Zhou's academic level has improved a lot. Now he wants to improve his theory of thinking, as if the fun outside and Zhuang Zhou were in two worlds.
Debate is not an end, but a means. Through debate, Zhuang Zhou perfected his theory, improved his view of the world, and tried to answer why the world was chaotic. Why do people scheming and why will the country conquer each other? Zhuangzi believes that it is not the reason for moral immorality, but because everyone has a "reincarnation". Reincarnation can be understood as prejudice. People only believe in what they are willing to believe and are only willing to see what they see, so they will argue endlessly and attack continuously.
So if people can look at problems without intention, they may be able to put themselves in their shoes and the country and the country will live in peace, and then everything will be the same and there is no distinction between them.
In the room, Zhuangzi wrote a fable story of his day and day. In other words, a monkey raised the monkey to give three chestnuts in the morning and four chestnuts in the morning and four chestnuts in the evening, and the monkeys screamed and were unhappy to accept it. So the monkey raised the monkeys changed to four chestnuts in the morning and three chestnuts in the evening, and the monkeys were very happy.
Are monkeys very stupid? Whether they are fickle or fickle, they have seven chestnuts a day. What’s so happy to change them? However, many people are like this because they have the ‘intentional’ and they are prejudiced and one-sided, and they cannot see the whole at all.
The monkeys only saw the chestnuts in the morning changed from three to four, so they were very happy. People think that monkeys are stupid because they only saw the morning and did not see the whole day at all. But when humans look at things, they can only see one-sided like monkeys, and are also happy because of their one-sided success? They are no different from monkeys.
In Zhuang Zhou's view, Linzi people are like monkeys who are fickle. They only see their own happiness but not the chaos in the world, because they are excited and do not see the suffering of the world. Isn't Linzi's happiness compared with the suffering of the world?
But the people in Linzi couldn't see it, so they were as happy as monkeys. The three chestnuts turned into four in the morning, and they couldn't see them turned from four to three in the evening. The people in Linzi are happy now, and they will definitely not even complain when they arrive.
The reason why various schools of thought can be passed down is because the story is well told, and Zhuang Zhou is a good person who is good at telling stories. He uses stories that are fickle to describe the pathos and ridiculousness of not having a overall view of the overall situation.
Unfortunately, people are like this. Most people look at things with the intention, only looking at one side but not the whole. So no matter how sad Zhuangzi is, he cannot change the facts.
Empiricism, dogmatism, and hedonism are still prevalent even after thousands of years. Basically, few people can learn to analyze specific things, and everyone is just happy to believe what they believe in.
Zhuang Zhou wrote a quick pen on the bamboo slips and wrote a famous saying that will be remembered forever.
Yun Yao could see that the young Zhuangzi still had the idea of changing the world, otherwise he would not be cynical. But this world disappointed Zhuang Zhou, and it can only be said that the Warring States Period was not worthy of Zhuangzi and Mencius.
If the theory of Qiwu can be popular and let everyone look at the problem as a whole and regard China as one, it will naturally be peaceful in the world, because there is no benefit in China's domestic consumption. Everyone is a compatriot and brothers. They should not be as fickle as monkeys. They cannot only see their own happiness and cannot see the suffering of the world. They should assume the responsibility of peace in the world. This is the "Tao is united."
However, Yun Yao had to say a few words, and he could not just "equal things" and also had to admit the differences and differences of all things in the world. Although the theory of equal things is very amazing, differences do exist. We can't just look at the whole and not the difference.
Therefore, we must observe the whole and acknowledge the differences. This is dialectical materialism.
Zhuang Zhou's theory of equitable things is very valuable because the Warring States Period lacked a holistic theory, and everyone focused on a city, a place, a country, and a king. No one had ever discussed why everyone looked at the same thing differently. The concept of "intention" was the same as prejudice, which was very inspiring.
Letting go of prejudice and sharing everything together is a lofty ideal to eliminate disputes.
However, now all the people in Linzi are gathered together, and their "intention" can only be seen that the competition for the US competition has begun, gathering happily at the racecourse.
Of course, Yun Yao would not miss it, but Zhuang Zhou would not go this time. He still wanted to continue writing. Yao Zhuang also stayed at home to accompany her husband, which was a red sleeve.
Five beauties transformed into handsome young men and flocked to their targets with the crowd.
There were crowds of people in the streets, and when you look around, you can see that there are all people. A high platform was set up on the racecourse, colorful flags were erected, and the flags of various shops fluttered in the wind. Among them, Yuelai Inn had the most flags, which was indeed the capital.
The girl Zhu has an invitation to her baby son, so she has a seat. In addition to arranging people's seats in advance, all the seats on the outside are for sale, making a lot of money.
Although the distance on the outside is very far, having a seat means that you are more noble than the standing person.
It is like when sacrificing, the different positions represent the status level. The higher the title, the closer it can be to the altar, and the lower the title, the further it is.
When watching the game, the closer you get, the more noble it is. Having a seat is more noble than not. Therefore, many people buy tickets for a high price just to be noble.
