Someone asked Li Zongwu : "You said that studying thick black can succeed in your career and get promoted and get rich. Then why I have done this in the past few years, but life is still not going well at all."
Li Zongwu asked To: "Really, have you read all my thick and black books?"
"No." The man replied, "I heard people say that you tell others to have a thick skin If your heart is dark, you can succeed. I will do it.”
Li Zongwu exclaimed: “You didn’t read a word of what I wrote, so you dare to mess with it yourself. I’m still alive, even if it’s Fukuzawa.”
Li Zongwu’s first thick black article was written in the first year of the Republic of China, and its content is indeed Cao Cao heart black, Liu Bei face Thick, only Sima Yi is thick and dark, and in the end the world is cheaper. To this day, no matter the film and television dramas, or the thick black school of the street version, they always love to say this.
But Li Zongwu himself explained that this article is just a game article. But just a small article that was only published in a local newspaper in Sichuan, it became popular all over the country, and after many years, the popularity did not come down. Li Zongwu was also crowned the "thick black leader". . In today’s words, it’s just a super-net celebrity traffic post, I’m afraid it’s not so popular anymore.
But in fact, people can live well whether they believe in themselves to be "bad guys" with a thick face. Or you have to learn the belief that positive energy is bright. Good people are rewarded after all. In fact, it doesn't matter at all, it's just a kind of obsession. The important thing is to conform to the law. Human psychology also flows in a certain way. The law does not distinguish between good and evil. You should do things in accordance with the law.Of course it succeeds. If you work against the law, you will naturally have to live a miserable life.
It took Li Zongwu decades to finally extract the laws and write them in the later works written in the 27th year of the Republic of China, "Psychology and Mechanics", we will slowly talk about it later .
In Chinese history, there is a famous controversy. It is human nature, whether it is good or evil. Mencius insists that human nature is good, and human nature is good for others; Xunzi is of evil nature, insisting on human nature is selfish. Based on these two, the descendants developed the Cheng Zhu Lixue of the good sex school; and although Xunzi was Confucian, he later developed into his disciples, Li Si and Han Feizi . In the end, the battle between these two families was victorious and the theory of goodness of nature prevailed, and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism became an absolute truth that cannot be violated by society.
Li Zongwu said that it is normal for the theory of evil sex to be defeated, because in the mainstream social values, many people cannot accept the view that human nature is ugly, even if many people agree with it in their hearts, just like his thick black Learning, obviously many people see it, but few people dare to say that they agree with it.
But when the theory of goodness full of love and light becomes the mainstream thought in society, will society really become very beautiful? In fact, on the contrary, starting from the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng Zhu, the Chinese began to slowly enter the "dark age" of ideological imprisonment.
Because the theory of goodness is obviously one-sided, Mencius said that when we see a child fall into a well, we will feel the same even if we don’t know him, as if we fell into the well ourselves. Here, and then develop empathy towards children, this is the "Xitti Compassionate Heart",It is human nature. As long as we all give full play to this "compassion" heart, the world will become very beautiful. Mencius later specifically said that people without compassion are not worthy of being human.
But this question is obviously a trap question. Let's imagine if you and a child fall into the well at the same time, what is your first reaction? Is it just that you are afraid of your own death and want to save yourself, but you don't want to die, and you want to sympathize with children who have nothing to do with you. This does not just prove that human nature is selfish. As long as one can live, how can anyone care about the life and death of others? In this case, it would not fall into the category of Xunzi's theory of evil nature.
We think this is normal, but it is a natural phenomenon that everyone can see, but the researchers of Chengzhu Neo-Confucianism can't bear it. It's about "doctrine" and can't be allowed at all. . He invented the famous words such as "the law of heaven" and "human desire". I feel that the reason why we are selfish and only think of ourselves is because we have not got rid of our human desires. It is "natural" for us to save children, but we are so selfish when we are infected with bad habits, so we have to get rid of our selfishness, that is The famous "save nature and destroy human desire". At this point, the biggest shackles in the hearts of the Chinese have formally formed.
