Why is the status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce ranked in Chinese cultural history? What is "Scholars"? Scholars do not generally refer to scholar-bureaucrats. Most of us think that "scholars" refer to government officials. This is a wrong concept. "Scholars" generally refers to the leadership of various departments, and teachers and masters all belong to "Sholars"! Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce do not just refer to "professional status", but to "moral requirements"! China has always had particularly high moral requirements for "sholars"! This is: To be an official, you must have the character of an official! To be a teacher, you must have the character of a teacher! Are doctors “scholars”? A doctor is a "scholar", but is a pastor a "scholar"? The pastor is a "scholar"! As long as you enter the "sholars" level for any position, what is definitely not required is "knowledge", but "character and personality"! Teachers, pastors, and doctors are all small leaders. Of course, leaders need to have the character of a leader! (Exodus 18:21) Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and Rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:~ In the Bible, the selection of the rulers of tens must be: People who fear God, are honest, and are not greedy for illegal-gotten gains! Therefore, we must understand one thing: As long as we manage 10 people, we are leaders, and leaders should have the character of a leader! Therefore, Chinese history requires particularly high character for "sholars"! The second is the character requirements for “farmers”. Why do farmers need character requirements? Our food comes from farmers, and if farmers have no normality and let people eat poisonous crops, how many people's health will be harmed? Next comes the character requirements for “workers”! The character of "workers" has the least impact on society, so the requirements for workers' normality are low! Finally, there’s the “Businessman”! "Businessmen" are people with the lowest status and the worst personalities in Chinese history! In Chinese history and culture, what Chinese people have always looked down upon the most is "businessmen"! We often call "businessmen" "profiteers" or "scamers"!
Why is it that now China is following the path of Europe, America and the West, and we have reversed the status of everything! Western countries current concept is: "Business, Industry, Scholars, and Agriculture"! We are taking the European and American route! In Western countries, "businessmen" have the highest status! Next is the "workers", because the workers are the large groups and these politicians need to curry favor with the "workers" to vote! Finally, there is the group of "scholars"! "Farmers" are the lowest and least statusful people in the United States and China! What should we be afraid of? We put the lowest moral groups on the highest pedestal! We put the groups with the second lowest moral requirements in the second highest position! This will cause chaos in the world! People nowadays have no requirement for "morality" at all. As long as people have money, rich people are superior to others! As long as you have money, you can control everything! Businessmen can do anything for the sake of profits! We often say: Collusion between government and business! What is "collusion between government and business"? "Collusion between officials and businessmen" means using money to buy government official positions! Usually when a person is wealthy, his method of making money must be worth pondering! Why do the Chinese place "businessmen" at the bottom of society? Because businessmen are not "producers" at all! Businessmen are the "consumers" at the bottom of society!
Why does Chinese education have particularly high requirements for the character of scholars? Because "sholars" is the most important "producer"! "Sholars" means "master and teacher". "Sholars" produces different important talents in the social structure. "Sholars" can cultivate the mainstay of a country! The prosperity and failure of a country will never depend on one person! The prosperity or failure of a country depends on the many "little leaders" in society, which are the "rulers of tens" in the Bible! When we learn Western culture, we lose the wisdom of our Chinese ancestors! "Businessmen" have a lofty status, which will ruin a country! The country will spend a lot of time cultivating those "consumers" who are "money first" and have no moral conscience! The "businessman" is the consumer! "Businessmen" are constantly consuming national and social resources! We all know that "workers" produce "various products" and "farmers" produce "various crops". Only businessmen have no "productivity" at all!
We can now roughly understand why Western countries are in such chaos! Western countries do not respect "morality" at all! They put businessmen first, which means that Western countries are utilitarian! Western society attaches great importance to "money"! What are the real consequences of Western society’s emphasis on money? "Corruption is serious"! Businessmen will do anything for their profits! Workers have no idea what "moral responsibility" is! In Western countries, workers only work for "money"! Don't think that workers have responsibilities. Workers in Western countries just do as much as they get paid! Western workers should indeed be replaced by AI robots! It’s hard to support workers in Western countries! TSMC really dug a hole for itself to jump into! Could it be that TSMC doesn’t know how difficult it is for American workers? However, I believe that TSMC will never hire too many American workers! Tesla doesn’t have many American workers, let alone TSMC? Workers have no morals, and the products they produce are garbage! "Sholars" has no morals! This country is basically going to perish! Why hasn’t America died yet? Because America has weapons! Now the American people dare to be angry but dare not speak out! "Sholars" has no moral foundation, and this country has no future! Think about it, everyone: corruption in the officialdom! School education is a mess! Also, all grassroots leading cadres are leaders without morals. Do you still think this country has a future? "Farmers" have no morals and are the most terrifying! If farmers are unethical, people will get sick from the crops they eat! If farmers have no morals, can we still eat our cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens?
The United States has always advocated "money first" and "profits first"! Do you, the American people, still think that "money first" and "profits first" are best for the American people? Why are the so seriously expenses for the American people: Housing and Medical care? Does the United States have no land? Why have housing and medical care become the biggest burdens on the American people? The American people really need to think about: How serious is the corruption in the US government? Is corruption caused by China? The United States does not pay attention to "moral education" at all!
