Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 763: Luo's Modern Extra: "Respecting the Elderly and Loving the Young" to Transform "Confucianism"

Daily Mail:

Recently, a surveillance video showed that an elderly man with limited mobility deliberately overturned a motorcycle parked at the door of his unit when he was passing by the unit building, causing the owner to lose more than [-] yuan.

Bubble Jellyfish: The bad guys are getting older!

King of Wumingshan: This old man is really bad, the law will punish them.

All my wishes come true: I am an old man after all, there is nothing I can do about it.

……

Filial piety report:
A college student turned a deaf ear to a gray-haired old man on the bus and refused to give up his seat. The blogger couldn't help but wonder where the tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young was lost.

Not stupid: Don’t media reports need to be true?It is obvious that the legs and feet of a college student are unchanged, but the old man is in high spirits, so why should he give up his seat?

Bingxuan said: The old man slapped a college student later, and his expression was so disgusting that the media reported it.

Confucianism eats shit: It is indeed a classic corrupt Confucian media that takes these things out of context.

01
Teacher Wang Cheng from Jicheng University was thinking hard about the next debate topic in the competition. He casually flipped through the short video and saw these two completely opposite pieces of news.

Confucian filial piety rewards?

Since the great development of natural science, Confucianism has completely lost its ideological dominance, but it still regulates social morality.

But with the rapid development of the media, anyone dares to say a few words on the Internet, and Confucianism gradually becomes chaotic.

Especially those conservative and decadent Confucian factions, they simply stink.

Wang Cheng is a disciple of the progressive faction of Confucianism. His faction has only been established for more than 30 years, but it has developed rapidly and is one of the pillars of New Confucianism.

The biggest enemy of New Confucianism is Old Confucianism. Almost every New Confucian sect was founded on the corpse of Old Confucianism.

Overthrow those old moral ideas, establish new moral ideas, and then use new moral ideas to influence the greater future.

His eyes lit up, respecting the old and loving the young. The emergence of too many negative news in recent years has made many young people question this term that seems to have never been refuted.

If something can be done about it, it may become a new weapon for this faction.

02
Jicheng University is one of the best universities in Jibei Province, and the other one that can compare with it is Yecheng University.

Because of the school's support, the debate team is very strong. Several people from Luo Ziye were laughing and chatting about interesting things from the last debate competition in the debate club.

"Drip drip!"

The mobile phones on several people's hands rang at the same time. When they opened it, it turned out to be news from the group.

Luo Ziye frowned and read out the topic of the next debate, "Is it correct to respect the old and cherish the young?
Positive: Correct.

Con: Incorrect. "

A rather shrewd and capable girl said in surprise: "The teacher drew the wrong side?
Isn’t this a sure loss? "

The other people nodded in agreement. Respecting the elderly and loving the young has been engraved in their bones for thousands of years. If you say this is incorrect, isn't that asking for death?

The debate competition does not depend on the debater, but this is a debate topic that is naturally at an extreme disadvantage.

Luo Ziye also felt that this debate was bound to lose. Even if the opponent won the debate, the opponent would definitely lose in the end.

He kept looking at the message over and over again, and asked with extreme confusion: "How did this kind of debate question with a winning rate completely favoring one side pass the review?"

Several other people were already lying on the table helplessly, "Captain, what should we do? Do you want to appeal?"

Luo Ziye pondered for a while and said: "Don't complain.

This is not the knockout stage, but the round-robin group stage.

Our scores are far ahead among the universities, so even if we give away one game, it doesn't matter.

If we can do a good job in this inevitable debate, it will be a great exercise for us.

And this is a hot news topic right now, so it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Although the debate topics we hold cannot win, they are in line with the thinking of young people.

We will all have to rely on the media in the future, and this is a good opportunity for us. "

After listening to Luo Ziye's analysis, several members of the Jicheng University debate team suddenly became energetic, and Luo Ziye couldn't help but chuckle.

College students are easy to fool and draw pictures.

But in a sense he was right.

A few people packed up and went to eat. Luo Ziye looked at the news with a slightly dark look.

Not simple.

This is another time someone is going to start a big discussion, this is another time someone is going to launch an attack on old Confucianism.

As a member of the Luo clan who is not particularly distant, Luo Ziye is naturally sensitive to this kind of thing.

03
The debate competition started as scheduled. The Jicheng University team’s opponent this time was Jicheng Art College, which was a Xiaoxiami-level opponent.

The people on the other side seemed to have the instructor telling them that they must win this game, so they had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Luo Ziye also smiled and said to his teammates: "Do you think they look like the villains in the novel who are used as stepping stones by the protagonist?
They may feel that they will win, so they are not fully prepared. However, if they win the game, they will lose everything.

No vision, no vision. "

Several members of the Jicheng University team couldn't help but laugh. Thinking about it carefully, it was really like this. They had made a lot of preparations for today's game. Although they couldn't win, they would definitely be able to give them a head-on blow.

04
Yi Bian, a rather lanky person from Jicheng Art College, stood up and said loudly: "Our point of view is that 'respecting the elderly and loving the young is the correct moral concept.'

Our land has regarded itself as a land of etiquette since ancient times. From the time of King Su 3000 years ago, we have emphasized filial piety.

A sage once said: Old people are like the old, and young people are like the young. This is a vivid interpretation of respecting the old and loving the young.

When the old people of the barbaric tribes outside the Great Wall seek death alone, our old people can be served. Isn't this the embodiment of our civilization?

When the supreme imperial power in ancient times had to bow its head in front of the elderly, doesn't it still reflect our unremitting pursuit of respecting the elderly? "

drop!
time up.The chief judge signaled the affirmative side to stop speaking and pointed to the negative side, "I would like to invite the negative side's representative to speak."

Regarding the speech made by the Zhengfang representative just now, Luo Ziye's evaluation was very poor. He didn't have any opinions of his own. I'm afraid he just found something from the Internet and used it as a speech.

A debater at Jicheng University had a draft that was mainly focused on Luo Ziye. Several people revised it many times. As soon as he stood up, he had the aura of success or failure, "Hello everyone, our view is 'respect the elderly and love the elderly. Childhood is an incorrect moral concept'.

It is true that our country has a historical tradition of respecting the old and loving the young for thousands of years, but in fact this tradition does not involve the old and the young. In ancient society, due to insufficient medical conditions, the elderly were rare, and young children were rare. It is extremely easy to die young.

Let's take the ancient supreme emperors as an example. There are no more than 50 emperors over 20 years old. This is a terrible number, but the number of princes and princesses who died in infancy exceeds a thousand.

In this social background, the old person represents the hope for longevity of the ethnic group, and the young person represents the hope of the ethnic group. In essence, this is the expression of the group's wishes through specific personnel and affairs.

In modern society, medical technology has made great progress, the average life expectancy has continued to increase, and there has even been an aging phenomenon. Infants and young children almost no longer die in infancy.

In this new context, the traditional moral concept of respecting the elderly and loving the young is no longer applicable. We should not give more respect to a person because he is older, and we should not respect a person more because he is younger. Give him more love and care. "

drop!
End of speech!

Zhengfang was a little uneasy. They noticed that several members of the Jicheng University team were staring at them like bloodthirsty lions, as if they wanted to eat them.

05
The debate has entered a phase of attack and defense by both sides.

The positive side was the first to attack.

“Is the speech of the anti-party debater deconstructing our country’s traditional morality?

Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is the truth. Doesn’t the other party’s friend respect his elders and love his juniors at home? "

Opponent: "Tradition does not represent truth. I respect my elders and care for my younger generation at home, not because of their age, but because of family affection.

I would like to ask my friend on the affirmative side, is an old man who deliberately pushes a motorcycle to violate the law worthy of your respect? "

Proponent: "Considers, don't try to use extreme cases to deny the group. Elderly people who break the law will naturally be punished by the law, but the rest of the elderly still need our respect. Not every elderly person will break the law."

Opponent: "According to statistics from Dali Temple, the number of crimes committed by the elderly increased by 3 percentage points last year, which is already the highest in the past ten years. Is this an extreme case?
This is obviously a massive number of cases!

Not every elderly person will abide by the law, so it is wrong to respect the old and care for the young. If the affirmative does not understand what he is talking about, we can remind the affirmative's fellow debaters.

Respect the virtuous and love the good.

This is the social morality we should promote, not just relying on age to obtain social preferential treatment. "

06
The attack and defense ended very quickly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the affirmative side was defeated. However, the referee stopped the attack and defense of both sides after the affirmative side finished speaking again. Luo Ziye and others were not surprised and did not have any objections. This time The benefits gained from the debate have been many.

In the final closing stage of the argument, the affirmative once again made a somewhat dry speech, but after all, he was a professional player and could still justify himself.

Luo Ziye stood up and took a deep breath and said: "When more and more news about elderly people committing crimes appear in the media, who are they hurt? It's those kind-hearted old people.

When more and more news about juvenile crimes appear, who is being harmed?It's those innocent young children.

When the entire society, in the cry of respecting the elderly and loving the young, limits respect and love to age, our laws will be affected.

If a person is still doing evil subjectively at the age of 70, then we can think about how many evil things he has done in his youth and middle age.

If a person does evil things when he is young, we can think about how many opportunities he will have to continue to do evil things when he grows up.

An emperor once said that the world must be managed by virtue and law. Virtue is used to teach people to be good, and law is used to punish.

Those who still trigger the law after being educated are failures. Failures should be eliminated to avoid being mixed among good people and causing unnecessary damage. The law never assumes the responsibility of education.

Respecting those who are capable and loving those who are kind is what our society should call for.

Age is a mark that is neither special nor noble. It is essentially no different from gender, occupation, etc.

Hello everyone, I am the anti-Fang Si Bian Luo Ziye, and my speech ends here. "

07
The debate ended with Jicheng University's defeat, but the debate really caused an uproar on the Internet. It was so popular that it was ranked first on almost every social media.

After the debate ended, major debates broke out on the Internet. Young people who were proficient in using Internet tools freely expressed their opinions on various platforms.

There are almost hundreds of those messages in one swipe, and then thousands of messages flash by after another swipe.

"What is the positive thing talking about? It's just a piece of cake. It's all old-fashioned stuff from books."

"Shadow! Can Zheng Fang win here?"

"Did Zhengfang come to visit the vegetable market? Are you participating in the competition before you wake up?"

"Wake up upstairs, it's impossible for the other side to win this question."

"I think what the other side said is right. There are so many people in the world who rely on their elders to support their elders. Why should I respect them?"

"Jiayi, support upstairs. The old man who pushed down the motorcycle a few days ago really disgusted me. How can there be such a disgusting person?"

"Everyone is here to celebrate the New Year. He is still a child, so I asked you if it was disgusting to hear these words. I love young children. I will give him two slaps to see if he still loses his mind."

"He's still a child, don't let him go."

"Don't you think the word "respecting the virtuous and loving the good" is very good? I think it can completely replace the word "respecting the elderly and loving the young".

"Am I the only one who thinks that Fang Yibian's argument is very good? His talk about ancient times is something I have never heard before."

"After the appraisal, the people upstairs are uneducated and have been led astray. Ancient people didn't have so many ideas. They just had simple morals."

"You're on the other side of the house. Regardless of whether that's the explanation or not, you don't have to listen to those people taking care of him every day. Even if he's old, let's forget he's still a child. It disgusts me."

"If anyone has the social account of Brother Sibian, I'm going to follow it. He's really talented."

"I think you are just greedy for other people's bodies. You have an account with the same name on the whole network, Luo Ziye. You can take it without any thanks."

08
The hustle and bustle on the Internet has little to do with Luo Ziye and the others. In this debate, several people have already made a lot of money.

Especially Laziye, its fans have soared.

As for the initiator of this great debate, he has already hidden his fame and fame, and no one is going to investigate the fermentation of this debate.

Everyone has a bright future.

Everyone is a wave of the times, and everyone is contributing to the times in a way that no one expected.
