What do you think of China tradition? Great gods, help!

Summarizing China's political life and thoughts in past dynasties, we can see that there are two spiritual pillars running through it. They are just like two wings of a wheel, pushing the history of China forward. One is "filial piety" and the other is "loyalty". The word "loyalty" has two meanings: one is loyalty in social communication, or loyalty to the cause and truth. Second, in the "relationship between monarch and minister", this is a constraint on subjects and a requirement for the people. It requires the subjects to be loyal to the monarch and the people to do their best for the country. "Loyalty" is a kind of political emotion, which is the political requirement of the upper level to the lower level. Whether it is a great man or a king of a humble scholar, the admiration for Yue Fei is the same. For many people, Yue Fei is not only a historical figure, but also a symbol of national spirit and patriotism. Yue Fei, who has been diligent and eager to learn since childhood, is both civil and military, patriotic and loving the people. He joined the army four times in the war against foreign invasion, and made meritorious military service repeatedly. 1 140 years, Jin Jun invaded the Southern Song Dynasty on a large scale, and Yue Fei bravely killed the enemy in the Northern Expedition, and successively won famous victories such as Yancheng-Yingchang and Zhuxian Town, which surprised the enemy soldiers and exclaimed, "It is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yue family army!" Yue Fei is a national hero shining through the ages. The story of his shared hatred and "loyalty to the country" has been passed down from generation to generation. His "loyalty" made him immortal and will remain in our hearts forever! The meaning of "filial piety" is also twofold. First of all, children love their parents, respect their parents and do their duty. This is a traditional virtue that should be carried forward; The second meaning is that children unconditionally obey their parents, that is, Confucius explained "inviolability", and the folks said "obedience is better than respect". "Marry a cat and a tiger, and parents are the masters; Marry a dog and marry a chicken, from mom to dad ","The father wants his son to die, and the son has to die ". Xiaogan, Yu Shun, moved the sky, "Farming on Mount Li is like plowing on it, and birds are plowing on it"; Guo Ju buried his son and got gold. "Guo Ju, the son of God-given, can't be taken away from the official and the people can't be taken away"; Jiang Quan jumps carp, "there is a sudden spring at home, which tastes like river water and jumps double carp every day"; Yong Dong sold herself and buried her husband. "I met a woman on the way and asked for a wife to die"; Meng zong cried bamboo shoots, "crying bamboo, Xiaogan moving the sky, for a moment, the ground cracked, and there were several bamboo shoots"; Wang Xiang lies on the ice and asks for carp. "When you undress and lie on the ice, the carp jumps on the ice.". Loyalty and filial piety, as a basic norm to regulate social interpersonal relations, has its own origin and development track, which is both class-oriented and universal, and contains rich social and historical values. The traditional loyalty is the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and the minister's attitude towards the monarch is top-down. But because of its simplicity, superiors have an inevitable expectation of loyalty and think that everyone should be like this. Although the cloud helps to consolidate the government and society, such as Yue Fei's death at the hands of Emperor Gaozong and Fang Xiaoru's murder by the king of ten families, these are historical evidences. Moreover, due to the rampant loyalty, other patriots and latitude and longitude talents were forced to retreat to the three schools, which made the monarch and his subjects fall into a rut, and the scholars were exploited and persecuted without knowing it. Ignorant people think that people are the foundation. Filial piety, as the relationship between parents and children, is the link between father and son in the five ethics. The original intention is to ask the people to pursue the future cautiously and make the people's morality return to heavy. However, due to the difficulty of benevolence, guided by the concept of filial piety, it is easy to follow. It is expected that people will evolve from the concept of filial piety to the ideal of benevolence. Sometimes, loyalty and filial piety are even a state of opposition: if the father breaks the law, the son will report it as loyalty and unfilial; Another example is three years of mourning. If the son is a servant, Canon is disloyal and unfilial, regardless of state affairs. In the Han dynasty, the combination of loyalty and filial piety originated from the combination of the concept of monarch and father, that is, the monarch is the father. At this time, unfilial is regarded as a capital crime, which is unprecedented. China ancient society emphasized loyalty and filial piety. Loyalty is for the monarch, for the country, loyalty, not betrayal; Filial piety is aimed at parents' high school, so we should take care of and support the elderly. To paraphrase the popular vocabulary, these two articles are actually the basis of "building a harmonious society", because the cell of society is the family, and the harmony and happiness of the family is the basis of social harmony, and filial piety plays a very good role in maintaining the cell. Every cell is good, not necessarily the whole society can be good, so be loyal and ask everyone to achieve harmony from the social environment. Everyone in the world calls it: "A gentleman can be both loyal and filial in the world, so he won't do anything wrong!" I asked, "But can loyalty and filial piety be complete?" In ancient times, there were people who took care of their mothers in filial piety. They were afraid that their mothers would get sick, so they abandoned their fame and took care of their mothers in class: this is also disloyalty! Chao Cuo in the Eastern Han Dynasty wanted to help the king cut land. The princes were angry, but they thought it was nothing. When I got home, I said to my father, who sighed, "The Liu family prospered, but the Chao family perished!" "Immediately set a sentence, wrong in the rescue. He hanged himself. It's too late to regret. If the fruit is like the father's material, the princes, on the other hand, can say everything. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to take it and kill it. However, the princes still rebelled. Zhou Yafu, a general left by the late emperor, is good at fighting. After copying the warlord rebel army, cut off its food and grass. Defeating the vassal is the only way to stop it. What does this have to do with Chao Cuo? Self-destruction, so that my father died, big unfilial also! Such a person is disloyal and unfilial! He Qiyu? Throughout the ages, no one is loyal and filial. In that case, it is difficult to be loyal and filial. To be loyal is unfilial; If you want to be filial, you must be unfaithful. Loyalty and filial piety are beyond expression or ability. Things in your heart are not chaotic! How can we learn from the loyalty and filial piety of the ancients? Loyalty and filial piety don't have to be complete! The way of loyalty and filial piety is the backbone of China's traditional political culture. Both loyalty and filial piety require conscious obedience and maintenance of authority, so there are similarities in theory between loyalty and filial piety. In feudal society, the ruling class strongly advocated "the unity of loyalty and filial piety" for the need of autocratic rule. However, due to the different objects served by loyalty and filial piety, in practice, loyalty and filial piety will inevitably conflict, leading to incompatibility between loyalty and filial piety. Loyalty and filial piety, as a traditional Confucian spirit, can only improve the social moral level if families can show filial piety to their fathers. Advocating loyalty and filial piety can restore people's morality. All for the continuation of life, but the traditional political system in China is actually a family projection with father and son as the main axis, and the imperial court is the expansion of the royal family. China has always been a patriarchal society. Filial piety in the imperial court is loyalty. It needs to be promoted by the rulers to serve the court and the people. If a monarch wants his minister to die, he will be unfaithful; Fathers want their children to die, and it is unfilial for their children not to die; Loyal ministers will blindly serve their superiors; As the top manager of the society, the emperor has the obligation and responsibility to take care of the family affairs of loyal people, so that they can also do their filial piety that they did not do before their death. -this is the most basic livelihood and civil rights, so at this time there is a view that loyalty and filial piety cannot be satisfactory. Loyalty and filial piety are due to different conscience objects, so it is inevitable that "loyalty and filial piety cannot be satisfactory". Parents need to take care of, but the monarch needs manpower to answer the country, so there is a contradiction. Power determines consciousness, so when loyalty and filial piety cannot be satisfied, individuals are often required to "give up their families and take care of everyone." "Sacrifice personal interests and obey the overall interests. If it is not handled well, there will be so-called "foolish loyalty" and "foolish filial piety"! However, in any case, we can't give consideration to both in loyalty and filial piety. Choose one, you must abandon one, or ignore the other! Since ancient times, the relationship between loyalty and filial piety, country and family, children and parents has always been the relationship between "fish" and "bear's paw". Unfortunately, after thousands of years of discussion, "fish" and "bear's paw" still cannot have both. However, the communication technology and competitive pressure in ancient times were far less than now, so the performance was not obvious. In fact, affection, especially children's attachment to their parents, is the most real content of human nature and cannot be really abandoned. As the saying goes, "a child travels a thousand miles, but his mother is worried", and his parents' eyes are always worried about their distant children; This kind of affection is the fate that every Chinese descendant can't escape, and it is also the feeling that Chinese children are endless and falling leaves return to their roots. The stars have changed, and the king returns to dust. The originally closed, moral-oriented society has become an open, interest-oriented society. Without the object of loyalty, loyalty seems to have no compulsion, and the problem of loyalty and filial piety seems to be insoluble. However, new problems have emerged in the new environment. An open society allows people to move freely for benefits, and the progress of science and technology makes it possible to reach distant places quickly. As a result, more and more young people, especially those with skills, quit their homes and never go far away. Li and Xiao constitute a new spear and shield. The launch of Shenzhou VI is undoubtedly the most exciting event in China today. 10+02. However, while Nie Haisheng was sprinting for the sacred cause of the motherland, few people could have imagined that his mother was paralyzed in her hospital bed in her hometown. Due to the rupture of cerebral blood vessels, she has lost the ability to speak, and all her expressions depend on the vibration of her throat. These days, perhaps knowing what that solemn moment means, she misses her son thousands of miles away more and more strongly, and often cries long from the depths of her throat. Late at night, the sound travels far in the quiet village. ...
