What are the manifestations of the lack of speculation in pre-Qin Confucianism?

In practice, machinery also uses Confucian classics, which will produce many fallacies. For example, pushing the concept of loyalty and filial piety to extremes and absolutes will lead to personality cult and paternalism; The stereotyped misunderstanding will lead to the suppression of different ideas, rigid thinking and a harmonious situation; Historically, he pushed academic excellence to the extreme, and appeared the official standard, ignoring industry and commerce, science and innovation, which was an important ideological source of the decline of China's national strength in modern times. Pushing frugality to the top will definitely curb consumption. Confucianism emphasizes maintaining stability and harmony, but it does not put forward ideas and methods to limit power. If the proportion is not well controlled, it will breed official prestige and abuse power. Pushing the former king of France will definitely stop and stick to the rules.

Confucius advocated self-denial and courtesy, and pursued the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. He is the founder of typical conservatism. If we use dialectical thinking to transform Confucian culture and flexibly use Confucian classics, Confucian culture will glow with new vitality, so as to avoid falling into the dilemma of conformism in practice.

To sum up, the lack of dialectical thinking is the biggest problem of Confucian culture. In fact, in a strict sense, it is hard to say that these are the shortcomings of Confucianism itself, but the blind worship of Confucianism-emphasizing moral self-discipline, advocating the concept of loyalty and filial piety, and publicizing the problem, is that we can't only see one aspect of the problem, and we can't absolutize these concepts, otherwise it will be taken out of context.

Therefore, Confucian culture needs sublation and innovation.
