idealistic Confucian culture

I was thinking about it legally. Because Zhao Xuezhou's purpose of creating a zombie king is to gain real power as a virtual king.

In Confucian culture, the survival and moral norms of a natural patriarchal society must have a male head as the symbol of the highest power, and then starting from it, the layers of power are dispersed into a pyramid structure, and everyone abides by this set of laws, Society is stabilized. After all, a hundred schools of thought contend because of the turbulent Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when everyone yearns for a stable life. The difference between Confucianism and Legalism is that Legalism attaches great importance to articles, while Confucianism is about the unity of human beings and the law. Trinity like Jesus. The loophole that Zhao Xuezhou exploited was to create a walking corpse. As long as he could move, he would still be a king, and the succession system would still be effective. The irony of this play is that Zhao Xuezhou technically broke through Confucius' concept of the living law of the inner and outer kings. Confucius's idea was that as long as the king was alive, he would have thoughts, and he would inevitably be disturbed by such or such thoughts, that is, persuasion. , Under the bombardment of opinions from all sides, Wang inevitably has to take a less outrageous path. However, Zhao Xuezhou used the technique of life and death to restore the grass to suspend the Confucian law, and the king completely became a symbol.

Also, why even if a zombie bites a person, the local nobles will be surprised, eh, the zombie bites the noble. That means, zombies cannot bite nobles, and nobles are representatives of beauty. Also, the old woman, knowing that there was a huge risk, also brought the body of her dead son, causing a boatload of people to be buried with her. So what's the reason?

I think it is that Confucianism advocates an ideal life, an ideal society, an ideal person, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. The people in their eyes are not real people, but perfect people in ideals. The courtiers serve the wise monarch, and the monarch sympathizes and cares for the courtiers who are benevolent and know how to give thanks. The whole society is in harmony. Therefore, what the old lady sees is not the corpse of the son infected with the zombie virus, but the ideal son in the Confucian concept, in other words, the "conceptual son" that does not exist and is always expected.

As for the real history, the rulers of the dynasties and dynasties, some are stupid, some are shrewd careerists. They understood the goal of the ideal person in the ideal society admired by Confucianism, and carefully created the character of the ideal king of Confucianism for themselves. A typical representative of Qianlong.

If you are an ordinary person who believes in Confucianism, the belief that goes deep into the bone marrow, when you are young, you take Confucianism as your ideal personality goal. In reality, you take those great Confucians with good reputation as teachers, and friends with good morals, and try to follow Confucianism. Rules to practice life. Knowing that that kind of ideal country is difficult to achieve, but always think that life has a limit and an ideal has no limit. Thousands of people who are out of place like this have dedicated light and heat, time and life to those who understand reality. This is essentially a deception. Because you always believe that the ideal society of Confucianism can be achieved through individual efforts and group efforts, ignoring the laws of history/biological laws/economic laws/, and just using a rigid body to fight the spiraling ups and downs of human historical development, if you personally really It can be very rigid, but the laws will still take effect, and the cost to human society of the laws acting on them will be borne by other people who have no ability to resist. As the Tang monk said, Wukong, don't throw things, it is not right to smash flowers and plants. The person who holds the centralized power is like Sun Wukong. The golden hoop will miss.

    Because of Pei Douna's relationship, I paid attention to it, but she basically didn't have any roles. I thought it was a zombie drama, but it turned out to be a palace fight drama, or that kind of trickery that was very naive, which was not filmed in China 10 years ago...
