What are the historical limitations of traditional honesty cultivation?

The main problem of Confucianism is that the talents it trains are only to safeguard the interests of rulers, and its main function is to continue feudal rule and more to represent the interests of gentry.

Therefore, the historical limitation lies in the hypocrisy of good name and good profit.

A good name, a proper noun, strives for birthright in feudal dynasties. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period of Confucius, it was said that the king of Chu was Zi Chu, and he didn't want to call himself the king of Chu, which was obviously deceiving himself.

The greatest feature of Confucianism is the unity of politics and religion. Once the feudal rulers got legal seats, they began to pursue material interests. Confucius himself was a hedonist, and he refused to eat properly.

Hypocrisy, which is a characteristic of Confucianism from the beginning, is manifested in the spring and autumn brushwork, all kinds of pretensions, and arbitrary restoration of history.

Therefore, the ancient life of Confucianism should have ended long ago, but the rulers want to extend their lives for it to safeguard their own interests, which can be seen in the prevalence of nationalism in recent years.
