country belief

Mr. Gu Hongming advocated Confucianism very much, even called it the belief of a country. He analyzed the political situation in Western Europe and pointed out the shortcomings of their political strategies. European countries initially relied on priests, theologians, to control the people and to keep the country in order. But the high cost of this theological belief made the rulers retreat. In order to satisfy the inner ambition of rulers, but also to keep their rights from being damaged. They began to use soldiers and force to force people to obey the orders of the monarch. As a result, it is not ideal. After Mr. Gu's analysis, he enumerated the facts of China. We have neither theology nor repression by force. China is a relatively peaceful region.
The reason is: Confucianism, which is similar to belief but not vague, is real and fundamental. As far as I am concerned, I agree with part of Mr. Gu's view that the Chinese spirit does not depend on nihilistic theology. But is Mr. Gu too critical of Western systems? The frequent occurrence of wars in the West does not lie in monarchs, dictators and diplomats, but in the majority of the people, men and women. Although the masses are at the bottom of the class, they have actually influenced the historical process of European countries.
Confucianism can not be said to be broad and far-reaching. Under the guidance of Confucianism, our country's civilization is constantly growing. But while applauding, remember that it also contains some dross. Take its essence and remove its dregs before using it. Secondly, the situation of European countries is far from that of our country. The same method can not be used directly in two different environments. In Mr. Gu's article, he wrote that he hoped to use the Chinese spirit to save the Western system and assimilate Europe with Confucianism in China. However, only in a way suited to the country's national conditions can a country's survival be saved.
Mr. Gu has a profound understanding of Confucianism and the political situation in European countries. This book has benefited us a lot.
