Chapter 47: Religion?


Sun Ruixiang, a professional Taoist priest, is an ordinary employee in the exploration department of East Galaxy Company.

Before joining the company, he was the young Taoist priest in the mountain Taoist temple in Yetu Kingdom.

Because there is a primary school a few hundred meters away from the Taoist temple, he is surrounded by the sound of reading loudly every day, which allowed him to receive enlightenment in science and technology from an early age and become completely different from traditional Taoist priests.

In fact, he may be the first immortal in the history of Taoism with real evidence of "ascension".

He ascended under the clouds during December 2021, traveled to the moon in person, preached to the world, and will even go to Yinghuo and other places in the future.

For a Taoist priest in a godless world, Sun Ruixiang's achievements are unprecedented and unprecedented, and can be regarded as a major milestone in the history of Taoism.

"Mr.

Consultant, I heard that you are looking for me."

Sun Daochang, who usually likes to wear Taoist robes, does not have the temperament of a Taoist master from his appearance.

He stepped into the door with an extremely ordinary smile.

Cao Chuan nodded and pointed his hand at the screen, "Welcome, Taoist Master Sun.

I noticed that you have published several books on Earth, such as Guanghan Travels, The Development of Taoism in the New Era, and Illustrated Taishang Induction Sutra.

I feel that you are not a rigid conservative.

People with rich innovative spirit.”

"Recently, in the lunar cities, although we have strictly controlled the spread of cultural products and prevented the entry of extremist religious elements, ethnic chauvinists, etc., we have found that we still inevitably face the conflicts of multicultural integration."

"It might be okay if it was just internal.

Unfortunately, after our investigation, we found that during the turmoil, other countries tried to use this blended conflict to cause trouble and serve themselves, so we had to take precautions."

Cao Chuan said this: "Therefore, the lunar city needs a civil society with combat effectiveness to become the backbone of this protracted cultural war and charge forward."

"According to the advice of Mr.

Consultant, this important task is going to be handed over to me."

Sun Ruixiang's eyes widened slightly, and then he felt ecstasy in his heart.

He patted his chest, "I grew up in a Taoist temple and witnessed the rise and fall of Taoism for decades.

I have also done painstaking research to try to find the key, and I have some experience in dealing with this kind of thing. " Sun Ruixiang then began to tell Cao Chuan about his research results.

The beginning is undoubtedly history, starting from Taoism, the earliest origin of Taoism, to the Five Pecks of Rice Religion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Taoism was born and grew as a religion native to Yetu Land.

Unfortunately, Taoism was invaded by foreign Buddhism at almost the same time.

Due to the different doctrines, the two religions developed different cognitions and thoughts, and then evolved into different cultures and customs.

After the precipitation of time, they finally evolved.

For conflicts.

Throughout history, as dynasties change, there will often be situations where Buddhism and Taoism wax and wane.

Sometimes it is the respected Tao, and sometimes it is the forbidden Tao.

The two sides come and go, fighting endlessly, and it plays a decisive role in this. , mainly due to the king’s preference leading to upward and downward effects.

Why is the King?

First of all, both Buddhism and Taoism are relatively peaceful religions.

There is no Crescent Religion.

Cross Religion is exclusive.

It either has no concept of gods or is a polytheistic religion.

It does not promote the idea that divine power is higher than royal power.

Therefore, it is It was an excellent tool for feudal rulers, which led to the fact that whenever the two major religions could please the ruling class and were established as state religions, they could develop instantly no matter how unfavorable they were.

Pushing time to the modern era, an era of prosperous science and technology, religion has lost its mystery and lost the support of the royal power.

If you want to expand your influence without being declared a cult, your methods are different from those in the past.

You have to adapt to local conditions.

Make reforms to face the new environment.

At this time, Buddhism showed good adaptability.

Sun Ruixiang's list included "burning incense and praying for blessings", "consecration", "Shaolin Temple" and "Kung Fu", which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

When people mention these, they immediately Thinking of Buddhism; at the same time, Taoism is still low-key, limited by its own teachings, and always thinks about cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal.

It even puts forward the statement "if you love to practice or not, don't bother the poor Taoist to become an immortal."

They don't think of ways to expand their power, so Lost.

If you count the number and size of temples and Taoist temples in the well-known Dongtian Paradise in Yetu Kingdom, it is easy to find the gap between the two.

Fortunately, Sun Ruixiang discovered that the influence of Taoism has actually improved slightly in the past few years.

This is not because they have any wise leaders, let alone anyone who has ascended, but because in the cultural field, novels and games about fairy culture, The movie became so popular that it was an accident.

Through the research on these issues, Sun Ruixiang has accumulated a lot of experience and lessons, and even published a book.

The only pity is that he has not had the opportunity to practice and verify his ideas so far, which makes him regretful.

After saying this, he paused, because what Cao Chuan expected to hear was actually how to win the culture war, not the development between the two major religions of Taoism and Buddhism.

The two are different concepts.

Sun Ruixiang then began to explain the relationship between religion and the cultural war.

According to him, religion is a powerful weapon in the cultural war.

Unlike the media, which is sometimes regarded as the mouthpiece of the government; There are very few giants who are weak enough to influence the world or the times; there are also some new cultural fields such as "Oveive Cult", "Multi-turret Cult", "Xian Party" and "Square Dance Cult" that seem to have a certain influence , is by no means a mainstream culture, and its scope of influence is actually limited; not to mention the theories of "nationalism" and "statism" that are similar to religious concepts proposed by many thinkers in modern times.

They look good, but are difficult to operate, often in certain areas. spread under special circumstances.

Religion has many advantages, such as active spreading, deep roots among the people, a high degree of unity of internal thinking, and strong combativeness.

Looking at the external environment, you will find that the lunar city is a pure land without religion.

Therefore, without competition from peers, the development of religion has bright prospects and has sufficient room for operation.

After listening to Sun Ruixiang's story, Cao Chuan had to admit that he had found the right person.

He was a professional master after all.

Unless he conducted in-depth large-scale simulations of social sciences, he would never be as good as the other person.

Now that he has convinced himself verbally, let’s take a look at his specific plans and whether he is the professional talent he wants.

"I plan to directly establish the Scientology."

Sun Ruixiang put forward his own idea, abandoned Taoism, and decided to establish a new religion.

"The so-called Scientology means the supremacy of science and technology.

It also coincides with the current situation in today's world where human science and technology lead the development of the world.

It is easier for people to accept
