Everyone knows that Daoists excel at talismans, strategies, and alchemy, cultivating for this life, while Buddhists excel at deliverance and Zen, guiding souls in the afterlife.
Both Buddhism and Daoism can subdue demons and vanquish evil, but Confucianism has left people with the impression that it only produces scholars who write poetry and essays.
They are even mocked as pedantic scholars, inspiring the famous saying, “A scholar is useless in every way.”
Could the Confucian school, which held Buddhism and Daoism in check for a thousand years, really be so feeble?
Of course not! If Confucians could only write poetry and essays, history's wheels would have crushed them to dust long ago.
Confucianism actually consists of two schools. The first is the Exoteric School, which specializes in governing the state. Its members are often found at court, helping the emperor rule the realm. It is also the largest Confucian school, and its adherents cultivate a clear conscience and devotion to family and country.
The other school is the Esoteric School. Its members build on poetry and essays, nurturing their own righteous energy and tempering themselves with it to subdue demons and vanquish evil.
The Esoteric School has few members, just one in each generation. Their mission is to protect the leading Confucian scholar serving at court in their era.
Watch as Yan Changsheng, heir to the Confucian Esoteric School, breaks the curse of an early death and travels the world wielding poetry and prose to subdue demons and vanquish evil.
Give yourself a thumbs up and wait for your comments 🤦 🤦 🤦
The writing is very good. Compared with the previous part, the writing style and content are obviously improved. I hope the author can stabilize and not collapse. The most important thing is not to be unfinished. Come on😊
I have already finished reading his second book. If nothing else, just wait for the beginning of the next one, waiting for you!
