The light of the world originated from China, so the gods of China are born from the coexistence of heaven and earth, and all other gods are acquired. Most of the acquired gods need the power of faith to survive, or the power of incense to be strong, or the power of sacrifice to continue.
There is a saying in the Sanqing Dynasty: The way of heaven damages more and makes up for the deficiency; the way of man damages and makes up for the deficiency. If you look at Western religions, are they all like this? Those who believe in these sects are either poor, suffering from disasters, disabled, or have a miserable life experience. But which nobleman who is free from illness and disaster truly believes in this kind of thing? Either he is an imperial minister, or he is a fool!
There are three declines: First, worship ancestors when they are not prosperous, and worship ancestors when they are prosperous. At this time, China is prosperous. Second, worship gods when they are not prosperous, and worship ancestors when they are prosperous. At this time, China is mediocre. Third, worship the gods when they are not prosperous, and worship the gods when they are prosperous. At this time, China is in decline. However, the three things in this world are endless, Chang said: Since there is no such prosperity and blessing, it should be the favor of gods, so we often sacrifice to gods. Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Why not always think that this is the blessing of our ancestors. That illusory god neither gave birth to you nor raised you, has neither blood ties nor old love, so how can he care for you?
