A hundred schools of thought contend

 

Chinese philosophy was mainly formed in the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period. The contending of a hundred schools of thought refers to the atmosphere of contention among various schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period of China, which reflects the profound changes in the social politics, economy, culture and other fields at that time. Among them, six schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Ming, Fa and Yin and Yang are the most important. The contending contents of a hundred schools of thought involve nature and man, name and reality, constant change, ancient and modern, justice and interests, mind nature, good and evil, etiquette and law and so on, which created the first peak of Chinese philosophy.

 

 

The Confucian

 

Confucianism is a school founded by Confucius in the late Spring and Autumn Period. As the situation of "learning in the government" was destroyed, Confucius established a private school to recruit students, and taught people the "six arts" of ceremony, music, archery, chariot, calligraphy and number. Because Confucius had been engaged in the profession of "Confucianism", people called the Confucius school Confucianism.

 

Restitution from self

 

Confucius' central proposition about the relationship between benevolence and propriety is "to absolve oneself and return propriety to benevolence", that is, he hopes to return to the norms of propriety through the conscious restraint of each member of society on his own behavior. "Fu Li" is reflected in the relationship between the society and the state. It is the correct ranking of "the monarch, the minister, the father, the son". On personal moral cultivation, "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and move no evil". Confucius opposed the simple use of penal repression to govern the country, because "the way of government, the unity of punishment, the people to avoid shameless; To be virtuous, to be courteous, there is shame and discipline".

 

Love is no difference

 

Confucius advocated "Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you". There is some difference in his benevolence. Mozi believed that the actual meaning of benevolence is "universal love" and advocated "mutual love and mutual benefit". The essence of "universal love" is that love has no difference and so on. It advocates replacing "love has difference and so on" with "easy difference" and "love has difference and so on", which fundamentally negates the patriarchal hierarchy and sharply contradicts "love has difference and so on" in Confucianism.
