"I Ching: Dictionaries" says: "A change is a change, and the way to come and go is not endless." ”
When we live in the ever-changing environment of the times, in the ever-changing environment, only by adapting with the situation can we be like an invisible water source that flows for a long time, and the clouds of impermanence are chic and free.
Therefore, when dealing with the world, we should try our best to be in line with the times, not conformist and have the courage to break the rules, so as to achieve the goals we pursue in the impermanent current affairs.
As "Caigen Tan" said, "There is a real slaughter in the operation, and there is a circular machine in the application." ”
While strengthening the bottom line and principles in our hearts, we should learn to integrate and make good use of the wisdom of flexibility.
In history, the most Confucian who learned from the past but did not stick to the ancients, and followed others without being bound by others, was the earliest Chinese pragmatist Shusun Tong. He is good at communication, and he is also good at proposing solutions tailored to local conditions, so he can survive and make a difference with his wisdom in troubled times and governing the world.
However, historically, however, the evaluation of Shusun Tong has been quite polarized. Sima Qian praised his "Han Confucianism", while Sima Guang despised him for being too small and a sycophant.
Regarding the last evaluation of Shusun Tong, Sima Guang also said emphatically: "Today, Uncle and Sun Tong admonishes filial piety, Naiyun 'the master has no fault', it is to teach people to pass the wrong way, isn't it absurd!" ”
Because Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty honored the Queen Mother, he often went to visit the Queen Mother, but the Emperor had to clear the road every time he traveled, and the people were naturally unbearable when he traveled a lot, so Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty built a pavilion road to not disturb the people. However, Shusun Tong found that this was against the etiquette system, and as the supreme governor of the Taichang ritual sacrifice, he naturally had the responsibility to remind Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.
When Emperor Hui of Han heard this, he wanted to demolish the pavilion, but he was persuaded by his uncle and grandson, saying: "The master has no mistakes." ”
In the old days, in order to maintain the authority of the emperor, there was a saying that there could be no wrong behavior. Therefore, now that the pavilion road is already under construction, if the pavilion road is abolished at this time, won't it be equivalent to the emperor admitting that he has done something wrong? Doing so would undermine the authority of the emperor and be detrimental to the stability of the early Han dynasty. So Shusun Tong proposed a compromise and practical plan for Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty: build another temple on the back of Weishui, and travel to Emperor Gao once a month, which is a great act of filial piety.
For Shusun Tong, for the sake of imperial power and social stability, the emperor cannot make mistakes, and even if there are mistakes, he needs to cover up the past in a clever way. This is completely from the perspective of the emperor and the overall situation, even if such a caring and general and flexible employee in today's society can not be liked by the leader.
The controversy over Shusun Tong also lies in the "semi-finished" ritual music system customized for Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. After all, from the perspective of those mellow Confucians in history, they despise those things that cater to the world, do not abide by principles, and are specious, and they think that this is the "hometown wish" that Confucius despises the most.
However, from the perspective of practical deeds, if Shusun Tong does not have this kind of wisdom of "being upright and clumsy, and stubbornly committing snakes", not only may his life be lost in the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but also it is very likely that Lile will be extinct from China in Liu Bang's time, so how can the Chinese nation inherit the culture of "the State of Lile and Music"?
Therefore, for Shusun Tong, in order to preserve the fire of the ritual system, what does it matter if he is wronged?
