Netfriends ask and celebrities
answer
Netfriend asks," Please Mr Tang talk
about Confucianism's effect on modern culture.Which part of people
can it be showed from?"
Mr Tang answers," Human beings has two great themes which are
peace and development. Peace means that it solves the relation between
person and person.Development solves the relation between human
and nature besides the relation between person and person. Confucianism
is actually Confucius' pensee. It can make a contribution to these
themes. Because Confucius put forward many valuable theories in
solving the relation between person and person. For example, Confucius
said,"Do for others just what you want them to do for you.
" This is the most important question which we discuss the
whole world's ethic at present.It sounds like limited ethic and
the lowest ethic. That is that everyone should at least abide by
some ethic's rules"Do for others just what you want them to
do for you." It was put forward by Confucius. The farther theory
is "Others should be favored when you are advantaged, others
should be first when you are first." It is higher request.
Not only do you yurself find a foothold somewhere but also others
should find a foothold somewhere and not only do you find a distinguished
position but also others should find a distinguished positon. Confucius
put forward the theory which rites,wisdom,bravery and kindness were
first. What kindness is first is the rites system does what.It ajusts
the relation between person and person. The relation's action lies
in making harmonious relation between person and person. Such as
questions should take advantage of peaceful coexistence of modern
world. Secondly,it is the relation between human and nature.Confucianism
all along advocated that nature and human should be a whole. Nature
and human cannot be divided.They aren't two pathes and you can't
divide them into two pathes. They are correlative. Zhu Xi stated
more clearly that nature was human and human was nature. That means
that nature depends on human and human also relys on nature.Human
came of nature, how did human come into being? It came of nature
at the beginning. But nature also counts on human. The nature's
significance and ation must be brought into play by human afer nature
made human. So human and can't be divided. Under the direction of
this pensee,the relation was correlative between human and nature.
Human can't destroy nature unboundedly,blindfoldly and arbitrarily.
Human can't develop nature arbitrarily. Human destroys a little
today, destroys a little tomorrow,destroys a little the day after
tomorrow.And finally, human changes the nature into dead matter
without live body.Then how does human live, true or false? Such
as pensees. i think they are precious resources in China. But there
is a point, we must give the precious resources modern annotation
and make them fit modern need and exert their actions.
Netfriend asks," please Mr Pang talk
about the relation between Confucianism and Tao's pensee?"
Mr Pang answers."This question is too wide. But speak simplely,
we can say that Confucianism and Tao's pensee supplement each other.
Why did I so that? Because Confucianism is very abundant,very important
and very good. Tao's pensee is also very abundant,very important
and very good. They emphasized more particularly on some aspect
individually. Confucianism emphasized more particularly on human.
Tao emphasized more particularly on nature.They were profound and
prominent in some aspect. But it is unilateral that we only use
one of them to solve matters,administer a country and edify ourselves. It
is right what one is short of is what another need between them.
Netfriend asks," One doesn't consult
reign if he isn't a governor. Is it contrary with the theory which
Everyone does his duty whether the state is strong or perdition.
Mr Yang answers,"It doesn't speak that One doesn't consult
reign if he isn't a governor. The society is well-regulated. Your
position is your position in society or on chessboard. Once one
consult reign if he isn't a governor,it will be disorganized. What
one doesn't consult reign if he is a governor also means disorganized.
What anything is disorganized is a kind of amenity and is a certain
rules of game. What one cares for the state and the people is his
obligation and is his historic burden.
