Lunar New Year of the Pig [year of the pig] July 15th
[Original One]
Many people say that Confucian scholars are not as good as the other literary officials. Seeing that the literary officials are convenient and the Confucian scholars are Luluo, they slander the Confucian scholars as shallow and short, and praise the literary officials as profound. I don't know the Confucian scholars, nor the literary officials.
Confucian scholars and literary officials are all talented, non-literary officials are high, but Confucian students are smart, and literary officials are more involved, and Confucian students are not accustomed. It is said that literary officials are more troublesome, and Confucian students are not accustomed to it, but they are also; There are short Confucian scholars in the world, and there are few Confucian students. What? And a good official and educated eunuch, use the official as a rope watch. Confucian scholars are short, but vulgar is short; literary officials have had a history, but vulgars dare not. It is not attributed to Confucian scholars, but also to literary officials. Confucian scholars are not subordinate to literary officials, and they are not what they are learning and what they should do. However, those who share shortcomings in the world will not be useful. If it is not easy to use, there are too many things that cannot be handled by oneself. Husbands are good at seeking talents, using tired energy, hoping to be beneficial. Literary officials are troublesome, serve in their duties, judge meritorious service, and will respect their ability. Confucian scholar Li Li, can not play, will have doubts, can not be effective, when the power is not helpful, the official is not worthy of his body. The official materials will be used for the official teaching materials, and the officials will be used for the test. This is because the secular is often a high-level official, and it is inferior to the Confucian students. Under the Confucian scholars, the literary officials are so high that they can't be used. Secular theory, fate will like and dislike.

Most commentators say that Confucian scholars are inferior to literary officials. Seeing that the official career of literary officials is smooth and Confucian students are frustrated, they denigrate the Confucian students who think they are less intelligent and praise the article. The officials think they are more intelligent. This is because I don’t understand Confucian scholars, nor literary officials.
Confucian scholars and literary officials are talented, it is not that literary officials are high and Confucian students have low intelligence, but literary officials have a lot of experience and lack of experience. It is okay to say that literary officials have a lot of experience and Confucian scholars lack experience; it is ridiculous to think that literary officials are more talented and Confucian students are less intelligent. The secular despise the Confucian students, and the Confucian students also belittle themselves. Why? They all pursue official careers and learn to be officials, and they follow the standard of officialdom. The Confucian scholars have a defect, and the secular also slander; the literary official has a fault, and the secular dare not slander. The mistake is attributed to the scholars and the right attribute to the literary official. The talents of Confucian scholars are not inferior to the literati, not that they have no application in what they have learned, but that the secular people despise them and see that local officials do not like to use them. Local officials don't like to use them because there are so many things that they can't handle them, so they need to be handled by the local officials. Measure and choose talents, distinguish between talents and big and small, hoping to do something useful. Civilians deal with complicated affairs, perform their duties, complete their work and build merits, and local officials respect their ability. Confucian students are cautious, but can't take on complicated tasks. If someone among the local officials raises doubts and cannot be effective, the power of the Confucian students will not benefit the time, then the official position will not be achieved. Officials use the standard of being an official to assess a person's talents, but talents are evidenced by the official. Therefore, the world often respects literary officials but despises Confucian scholars. Confucian scholars are despised and officials are elevated because of incompetent generals. Secular remarks often follow the likes and dislikes of officials.

The term "Confucianism" here refers to scholars who believe in Confucianism and study the Five Classics. The so-called "the critics say that Confucian scholars are not as good as literary officials" is not accurate. Many people who read the Pentateuch and the sage books are aware of courtesy and justice, benevolence and trustworthiness, and have wisdom. Of course, there are also many foolish and incompetent people. Among the Confucian scholars, there are big officials and small officials, and there are not a lot of them. How can they be inferior to "literary officials"? Officials refer to ordinary officials who can skillfully complete transaction processing procedures, which is what the world often calls "business baskets" today. Literary officials do have their ingenuity, that is, they can achieve the ultimate in what they can do within their business scope, and this is precisely what their superior managers may not be able to do. Confucianism has Confucianism, and local officials have Taoism. You should be superior in respect of compliance, morality, and moral integrity, and there is no need to generalize which is higher.
Wang Chong (27-97 AD), named Zhong Ren, a thinker and materialist in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Lunheng" consists of thirty volumes and eighty-five chapters. Among them, "Causes" is only left, and there are eighty-four articles in existence. It is an important materialist work by the Eastern Han thinker Wang Chong, showing a certain materialist thought. But it also contains some "life" thinking. The emergence of "Lun Heng" plays an important role in the development of Chinese history and culture. Due to the author's time, his worldview has certain limitations, but it does not affect the historical importance of his works.
takes the essence and removes the dross. It is a scientific attitude to study and treat historical classics and ideological culture. The Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and the schools of all scholars have their own merits. Taste the classics of Chinese learning and draw useful nutrients from them.
