1517年， 德国牧师 马丁-路德 在一座教堂门口订上了几页纸， 写有95条内容 ， 反复的批评当时上帝最大的一位仆人， 好像是在 罗罗唆唆的讲 教皇卖的赎罪券： 你在卖假货， 你在卖假药， 你卖的产品没有效果。 擦亮眼睛吧， 竖起耳朵吧， 大家不应该买这些纸片， 教皇啊你想要赚多少钱， ， ， 等等， 大家请去自己看马丁路德的原文，他当然不是如我写的一般胡言乱语， 但是为了批评一张赎罪卷写下 95 条这么多的内容只有很认真的人才能搞出来， 这就是虔诚信仰的力量。
In 1517, German priest Martin Luther nailed several sheets of paper onto the door of a church, containing 95 points of critique aimed at what he saw as God's greatest servant: it seemed to be incessantly about the sale of indulgences: You are selling counterfeit goods, you are selling fake medicine, your product has no effect. Rub your eyes wide, raise your ears high, people should not buy these pieces of paper, Oh Pope, how much do you want to earn, etc., please go and read Martin Luther's original text for yourselves; he certainly did not blabber as I have written here, but only a person who is very serious could write 95 points just to criticize an indulgence, this is the power of genuine faith.
同时期，另一位 宗教革命的 著名人物， 开尔文，John Calvin, 1509-1564, 还是一个八九岁的孩子， 在法国北部 刚开始学习 宗教内容， 后来的新教中的 开尔文主义 就是指的他。
At the same time, another prominent figure in religious reform, Calvin, John Calvin, 1509-1564, was still an eight or nine-year-old child, just starting to study religion in northern France, and later, Calvinism within new Protestantism refers to him.
中文圈为 欧洲大复兴 生硬的加上了文艺 标签， 但是「大复兴，Renaissance」不仅是文艺的， 而且包括宗教、哲学、科学、人道、良知 和美与丑的标准， 当然也包括战争 与信仰，包括血肉的战斗 与 思想的战斗。
The Chinese circle has rigidly affixed the label of 'Renaissance, Renaissance' to the European Great Renewal, but 'Great Renewal, Renaissance' is not only about art; it also encompasses religion, philosophy, science, humanism, conscience, and standards of beauty and ugliness. Of course, it includes war and faith, as well as battles of flesh and ideas.
在这一时期， 我们可以观察到 德国 Gutenburg 发明印刷机后， 更多人们 得到了阅读 圣经的机会， 从而为推动「大复兴，Renaissance」提供了知识。 大复兴时，天主教会的力量已经渗透到欧洲各国的所有角落， 但是 开始阅读的人们恢复了 古希腊、古罗马的哲学与 理智， 复活了人体美学和 自由意志，激发了精神上的平等与虔诚， 同时保持了对天国的景仰、和对自身原罪的忏悔。 这些力量就让整个欧洲革命般的复活了， 最终宗教革命 和其它大复兴的力量汇集在一起将 哲学 进化成为了 科学。
During this period, we can observe how the invention of the printing press by Johann Gutenberg in Germany allowed more people to read the Bible, thus providing knowledge that facilitated the "Renaissance." At the time of the Renaissance, the power of the Catholic Church had permeated every corner of Europe. However, as more people began reading, they revived the philosophy and reason of ancient Greece and Rome, revitalized the aesthetics of the human body and freedom of will, inspiring spiritual equality and piety, while maintaining reverence for heaven and repentance for their original sins. These forces brought about a revolutionary revival across all of Europe, ultimately leading to religious revolutions and other Renaissance forces converging to evolve philosophy into science.
马丁路德相信： 正直的 应当因信而生。 不知道这样的翻译是否准确， 英文翻译是： The just shall live by faith. 请再次注意 马丁 看到的 原文不是英文。
Martin Luther believed: The just shall live by faith. The translation is accurate; the English version is: "The just shall live by faith."
我看的是 英文圣经，KJV 版本， 英文的圣经是从拉丁文翻译而来， 拉丁文的圣经是从犹太文、 古希腊文翻译而来。 旧约的部分源于古犹太文，古犹太国时，迦南人也在那里。 新约福音的部分更多的源于古希腊文和犹太口语。
I read the King James Version (KJV) Bible, the English Bible was translated from Latin, and the Latin Bible was translated from Hebrew and ancient Greek.
福音书流传一千五百年后， 来到了大复兴时期，人们认真翻译圣经、印刷圣经， 这意味着可以凭借圣经得到信仰和救赎， 而不再依赖教皇和教堂。
After the Gospels were circulated for fifteen centuries, they arrived during the Great Awakening period, when people carefully translated and printed the Bible, meaning that faith and redemption could now be obtained through the Bible, rather than relying on the Pope and churches.
但是，批评教皇。大逆不道!!
But, criticizing the Pope is treason!!
这些人真是太不理解中国儒(懦）家的圣贤们的苦心了，真是不忠不孝！
These people truly fail to understand the painstaking efforts of the sages and virtuous figures in Confucianism! They are truly unfaithful and unfilial!
然而， 从犹太人、摩西， 到走在沙漠中的使徒， 从约翰到耶酥、保罗， 再到马丁路德， 他们都批评了之前的宗教和信仰， 侮辱了代表信仰的权贵。 他们中许多颗脑袋因此被砍下来， 十字架因此树立着， 这是一件刑具而已，可是文明的火光因此维持着。
However, from the Jews and Moses to the apostles walking in the desert, from John to Jesus and Paul, and then to Martin Luther, they all criticized previous religions and beliefs, insulting those in power who represented faith. Many of their heads were chopped off as a result, crucifixions were performed, which was merely an instrument of torture, but civilization's light continued to burn.
马丁路德有一个略为奇怪的想法， 他相信得到救赎的唯一条件是：信奉耶酥。
Martin Luther had a somewhat strange idea; he believed that the sole condition for salvation was: faith in Jesus.
这么简单的条件和中国人相信的顿悟一样简单。 顿悟吧， 放下屠刀， 立地成佛。
Such simple conditions are as simple as the sudden enlightenment that Chinese people believe in.
Sudden enlightenment, lay down your butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the spot.
也许， 生活就是一把屠刀。
Perhaps, life itself is a butcher's knife.
世界堕落了， 耶酥才来的。
The world fell, so did Jesus come.
路德让人们知道：教皇是个骗子。 如果说全世界都堕落了而教皇却没有堕落， 这明显是一个逻辑错误。
Luther made it clear that the Pope was a liar. If the world had fallen while the Pope remained untainted, this would clearly be a logical error.
（而中共向人们暗示一切信仰都是迷信，原因是它们是最大的邪教组织。)
(The CCP implies that all faiths are superstitions because they are the largest cult organization.)
当时的教皇喜欢奢侈的生活， 花光了钱就开始出售天国的门票， 就是赎罪券， 据说还可以打折。当时的教会拥有欧洲30%的地产。 社会是人的庇护所， 在这个大房子里无可奈何中， 连教皇也堕落了。 生活的代价就是与堕落者同流合污， 得到庇护的代价就是堕落。
At the time, the Pope lived a luxurious life.
When he ran out of money, he started selling tickets to heaven, known as indulgences, which were said to come with discounts. The Church at that time owned 30% of Europe's real estate. Society was like a shelter for people, and even the Pope could do nothing but succumb in this large house. The cost of living was to associate with the corrupt, and the price of getting protection was to become corrupt oneself.
此时印刷术也成为挑战教会的因素， 人们阅读圣经原文的时候就会发现， 耶酥早就已经被这些宗教权贵钉死在十字架上。 十六世纪的 教会高层 和公元初年的 犹太长老们有什么区别呢？ 这些人们都有一样的 肉体和原罪。
At this time, printing became a challenge to the church. When people read the original text of the Bible, they would find that Jesus had already been crucified by these religious elites. What was the difference between the church authorities in the 16th century and the Jewish elders at the beginning of the Common Era? All these people share the same flesh and original sin.
Side Marks: 中共和 五百年前腐败的罗马 天主教高层 的区别是相当明显的， 中共相比二千年前的犹太长老们 也无法在 理性与道德方面进行比较， 兽类无法 和人类 相提并论。
Side Marks: The difference between the CCP and corrupt Roman Catholic Church officials five hundred years ago is obvious, but compared to Jewish elders two thousand years ago, the CCP cannot be compared in terms of rationality and morality. Beasts are not on par with humans.
十六世纪的宗教革命， 听起不是什么大事情， 然而历史就被这些奇怪的事情改变， 被奇怪的人推到不同的方向。 马丁路德愚蠢到尝试躺在冰雪中睡觉， 希望上帝能给他温暖， 结果当然是几乎冻死， 幸亏被同事发现了。
The religious revolution of the sixteenth century doesn't sound like a big deal, but history was changed by these strange events and odd people. Martin Luther, for instance, foolishly tried to sleep in the snow, hoping that God would warm him. Of course, he nearly froze to death, and it was only thanks to his colleague who found him in time.
这样的蠢人改变了历史让我们再无法说什么： 历史决定现实， 现实决定未来。 我们也许不得不以崇敬的心情说：蠢货改变了历史。
Such foolish people have changed history, preventing us from saying anything else: History determines the present, and the present determines the future. We might have to say with reverence: Fools have changed history.
但是没有什么轻轻松松发发傻气就实现的成功， 接下来的「三十年战争」把当时欧洲所有的力量都卷入了， 我不说是所有的国家，虽然国家也当然无法置身事外， 这本身也绝不仅仅是国家的事情， 但是这是信仰的问题，是人的问题而不是野兽的问题。 信仰究竟在哪里？在人的心中还是在教会和教皇的手中？
But there is no success achieved by mere foolishness and ease, Following the 'Thirty Years' War,' all of Europe's powers were drawn into it, I do not say that all the states were involved, although they certainly could not remain uninvolved. This was far from simply a matter of state affairs, but one of faith, concerning people rather than beasts. Where lies this faith? In the hearts of people or in the hands of churches and popes?
很久以后， 人们总结三个原则， 或者五个原则：
仅信耶酥、仅信圣经、仅凭信念、仅信恩典、荣耀属于上帝。
Three (Five) Solas: Jesus, Scripture, Faith, Grace, Glory.
在这一门宗教的变革中， 请注意耶酥是一个人， 这很重要。
Much later, three (five) principles were summarized: Believe only in Jesus, believe only in the Bible, rely solely on faith, rely solely on grace, glory belongs to God. Three (Five) Solas: Jesus, Scripture, Faith, Grace, Glory. In this religious transformation, note that Jesus is a person; this is important.
当时的中国， 科举考试制度在变更的朝代间屹立不变， 并且考试内容越来越愚蠢，答题格式是严格的幼稚的八股文。 书生秀才举人进士都认真的爬一座金字塔， 这种艰苦的工作一旦得到回报就升官发财、名利双收。
At that time in China, the imperial examination system stood unchanged through changing dynasties, and the content of the exams became increasingly foolish, with strict and childish eight-part essays. Scholars, candidates,荐举者, 举人, 进士 all earnestly climbed a pyramid, this arduous work would bring official positions and wealth once it paid off, fame and fortune.
「金瓶梅」大约是这个时候的书， 明朝嘉靖年间是指 1522年到 1566年。 书中描写的是赤祼祼的腐烂，做为艺术也勉强， 并且和其它所谓中文名著一样，在书中找不到一点自由的思想， 没有单纯的勇气，更不要说什么正义， 一些人会辩解：三国水浒里有自由和正义的替天行道。 三国谋杀，水浒滥杀，充满着背叛， 西游遇到的神仙佛道如成群的小丑们 在侮辱「神仙」的概念。 所有的书中都找不到信仰的踪影， 都难于确认真实的作者， 都如井底之蛙看不到笼子的形状， 完全符合东亚堕落的大趋势。 一场场自以为精彩的描写都不外是跪伏在权力和暴力的阴影中的众生相， 或残忍或狡诈所谋不过是洒食、肉体、权柄， 最高境界就是：都付笑谈中。
"Golden Lotus" is probably a book from this time period, the Ming Dynasty's Jiajing era refers to 1522 to 1566. The book describes naked decay,勉强 as art, and like other so-called classic Chinese works, it contains no trace of free thought, no simple courage, let alone justice. Some might argue that freedom and justice can be found in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin," where characters act according to Heaven's mandate. But in the "Three Kingdoms," there is murder, and in "Water Margin," excessive killing; betrayal abounds, with the encountered deities, Buddhas, and Taoists appearing more like a troupe of clowns, insulting the concept of sages. Faith is nowhere to be found in all these books, the true author is hard to confirm, each is like a frog at the bottom of a well who can't see the shape of its cage, fully fitting the large decline trend in East Asia. All such descriptions, which people might consider as brilliant, are merely众生相of beings bowing down under the shadow of power and violence, some cruel or cunning, with their schemes no more than scraps of food, bodies, or authority, the highest attainment is: all are reduced to mere talk for laughter.
书中自有黄金屋， 书中自有颜如玉。
Books contain golden houses and beautiful women.
这哪里是书？这是金字塔的台阶。 书山有路勤为径？首先这些中文堆不出什么山， 其次，这层层看似向上的台阶 却是通向地狱的长长的甬道。 没有信仰、没有理智、没有以人体为基础的美学， 没有科学萌芽的机会、没有逻辑、没有事实， 说出实话的人被视为愚蠢， 写下名著的名字被埋藏在尘土下， 这些所谓书与学问最终都将 扼杀 对平凡生命的尊重。
This is not a book? This is the steps of a pyramid. "Books have paths, and diligence is the way?" First, these Chinese texts do not stack up to form any mountain, second, these steps that seem to lead upwards are actually long corridors leading to hell. Without faith, without reason, without aesthetics based on the human body, without opportunities for the germination of science, without logic, without facts, those who speak the truth are regarded as foolish, the names of those who write great works are buried in the dust, these so-called books and scholarship will ultimately smother respect for ordinary lives.
中国皇帝多么聪明啊。他把识字的人都骗去考秀才了， 宝塔蒙蔽了智慧， 埋葬了人性。在塔下是芸芸众生， 他们 有千千万万对幸福的憧憬， 却在得失利害中全部被引到塔上， 层层叠叠爬向猩猩们， 古老的兽神大人， 人类的始祖， 在君臣忠孝的餐桌上默默享受两千年持续的血祭。
What wise emperors they were in China. They tricked literate people into taking the exams for the scholar-gentry,
the pagoda deceived wisdom and buried humanity. Beneath the tower are the common people,
with countless aspirations for happiness,
all of which are led to the top of the tower under the pretense of gain or loss,
climbing layer by layer towards the apes, the ancient beast gods,
ancestors of humans,
who silently enjoyed the millennia-long blood sacrifices at the tables of loyalty and filial piety.
聪明的不是什么皇帝大臣， 它们只是变身为猩猩类的一群东西， 是金字塔让它们这样做的， 这是金字塔的意志，这里的人只能向上爬。
Smart are not the emperor or ministers, they just transform into a group of ape-like things, it is the pyramid that makes them do so, this is the will of the pyramid, here people can only climb up.
在中国的朝代中不乏勤劳自律、清廉为民的官员， 然而宝塔的力学将他们的努力转换为更长久的镇压之力。 甚至当他们获得青天大老爷的称号时， 在无知的骄傲中已经被兽化的力量悄然笼罩变身为猩猩， 清官这个名字本身就是对所有官员的讽刺。这是宝塔中的力学， 向下镇压， 向上兽化。向下施加的压力越大， 向上传递的兽欲越强， 造成更高的塔更强的朝廷。 因此， 善良的初衷最终带来一朝一代的循环。 兴， 百姓苦， 亡， 百姓苦。
In China's dynasties, there were not a few diligent and self-disciplined officials who served the people with integrity, yet the mechanics of the tower transformed their efforts into a more enduring force of suppression. Even when they earned the title of Qing Tian Da Gao Officials (Clear Sky Great Officials), in the shadows of ignorant pride, they had already been subtly transformed into apes by the beastly power. The name 'clean official' itself is a讽刺 for all officials. This is the mechanics within the tower, pressing downward and bestializing upward. The greater the pressure pressed downward, the stronger the transmitted bestiality, resulting in a higher tower and a stronger court. Therefore, the benevolent初衷 ultimately bring about a cycle of one dynasty after another. Prosperity, and the people suffer; decline, and the people suffer.
在金字塔上 每一层台阶都是 愚民的台阶， 每踏上一步，都是对人类生命 和生命中天赋的自由的 践踏。 愚民们从来没有看到过这一座地狱之塔， 仿佛都已经瞎了。宁有种乎 和 取而代之 都远不是打败宝塔的方法， 僵尸们总能找到它们的清官们， 却不可能找到打破地狱的方法。
On the pyramids, every step of the staircase is a step for misleading the people, and with each step taken, it is a trampling on human life and the freedom inherent in it. The misled have never seen this tower of hell; as if they are all blind. "Is there any breed?" and "Take its place" are far from being methods to defeat the tower. Zombies will always find their upright officials, but they can never find a way to break the cycle of hell.
人类走出非洲后， 向右是亚洲， 向左是欧洲。 中国的面积和欧洲相似， 中国是集权传统， 欧洲是分权系统。
After humans left Africa, to the right is Asia, and to the left is Europe. China's area is similar to that of Europe, with a centralized tradition, while Europe has a decentralized system.
从左向右是这样的： 西方，人体美学，民主，科学，中东，寡头政治，小脚太监，独裁，东方
From left to right, it is as follows: Western, aesthetic of the human body, democracy, science, Middle East, oligarchy, bound foot eunuchs, dictatorship, Eastern
古希腊古罗马的共和制是权力分享的系统， 古罗马转入君主制后天主教将信仰的力量从政权中独立出来， 罗马分裂之后， 西欧再没有回归统一。 教皇进位到信仰的金字塔顶端后， 马丁路德挑战了他。在欧洲， 领土是分裂的， 权力是分裂的， 现在代表信仰的组织权威也再次被挑战。
The republican system in ancient Greece and Rome was a system of shared power, after the transition to monarchy in ancient Rome, the Catholic Church separated the force of faith from the state, following the split of Rome, there was no return to unity in Western Europe. After the Pope ascended to the top of the pyramid of faith, Martin Luther challenged him. In Europe, territory and power were divided, and now the authority representing faith is being challenged again.
宗教改革是造成欧洲转变的重要原因之一。 也是一场巨大的欧洲战乱的一个原因。 欧洲史上的三十年战争中， 德国地区40%的人口死亡。 国王们并不是仅仅为信仰战斗， 比如英国亨利8世， 他对罗马教皇的烦恼是因为教皇不同意他离婚， 最后他干脆就推广新教了， 当然顺便除掉了原来的老婆。
The Reformation was one of the important causes for the transformation in Europe.
It was also a reason for a great European war.
In the Thirty Years' War of European history, 40% of the population in German regions died.
Kings did not fight only for faith; for example, King Henry VIII of England,
his烦恼 with the Roman Pope was because the Pope disagreed with his divorce,
and so he eventually promoted Protestantism, naturally getting rid of his former wife as well.
新教， Protestantism, 常常被中国人称为基督教， 然而基督教在中国大陆常常混淆为十字架。实际上， 十字架代表的宗教从此分成三个主要的派别： 罗马的天主教， 东罗马拜占庭的东正教（已经传入俄罗斯）， 和改革后的基督教， 就是新教。
Protestantism, which is often called Christianity by Chinese people, however, Christianity in China is often confused with the cross. In reality, the religion represented by the cross has split into three main branches: Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Christianity (which has entered Russia), and Protestantism, which is reformed Christianity.
十字架代表什么呢？
What does the cross represent?
代表痛苦， 不仅代表耶酥的命运而且代表每一个普通人的命运： 被钉死， 无法挣脱， 痛苦而且耻辱。
Representing suffering, not just the fate of Jesus but also that of every ordinary person: Nailed to a cross, unable to escape, suffering and humiliation.
新约圣经（福音书的故事）可以简化到用一句话讲完整个故事：
The New Testament (the story of the Gospels) can be summarized in a single sentence:
上帝爱人类， 他把自己的儿子耶酥送来人间， 人们用十字架钉死了耶酥， 这是他的命运， 上帝复活了自己的孩子， 这是宽恕。
God loves humanity, and He sent His son Jesus to earth, People nailed Jesus to a cross, this was His fate, God raised His own child from the dead, this is forgiveness.
这就是新约圣经的故事了， 基于故事的信仰比基于教义的信仰更直接、更好 理解， 更触及人性。十字架代表的内容就可以这么简单的开始理解， 简单直白。 而聪明的中国在这个时候女人被折断脚掌， 男人被切去鸡巴， 至今还在言必称古， 自以为文明。 为什么呢？道可道， 非常道， 过于抽象失去人性。
This is the story of the New Testament, faith based on the story is more direct and easier to understand, and more human. The cross can be understood so simply, straightforwardly. And smart China, at this time, breaks women's feet, castrates men, still always referring to ancient times, thinking they are civilized. Why? The Way that can be spoken of is not the true Way; it becomes too abstract and loses its humanity.
鸡巴和脚掌才是天下大道， 人性才是：道。保全人体才是天道。
Dicks and soles are the great way of the world, while human nature is: Dao. Preserving the body is heaven's way.
社会结构影响着其中人们的思维方式， 是金字塔的结构决定着中国人的思维方法。 他们认为金字塔上层永远英明伟大， 这并不是上层所谓人类的能力，而是金字塔的力量。
The social structure influences the way people think within it, and it is the pyramid structure that determines the thinking pattern of the Chinese. They believe that those at the top of the pyramid are always wise and great, not because of some supposed human abilities, but due to the power of the pyramid.
金字塔是愚民之塔，它消灭逻辑。 金字塔内没有逻辑是几何学中可以推导的结论， 那么中国的集权之塔如何消灭人类的逻辑？
The Pyramids are towers that suppress the people, eliminating logic. That there is no logic inside the Pyramids is a conclusion derivable in geometry, so how does China's centralized tower eliminate human logic?
在逻辑学中，如果一个概念不是这个概念本身，比如： A 不等于 A。 这里逻辑学失效，这个定律也就是逻辑爆炸定律， 逻辑都被炸没影了，再不可能有逻辑学。 而《道德经》就让中国人的道不等于道， 开篇就说：道可道非常道。 道不是道之后，中国人将没有可能得到逻辑，却自古以来自认聪明。
In logic, if a concept is not itself, for example: A is not equal to A. Here, logic fails, and this law becomes the Law of Logical Explosion, logic has been blown away, making it impossible for there to be logic again. And The Daoist Classic lets the way in China not be the way, it begins by saying: The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao. After recognizing the way is not the way, Chinese people have never had logic but still consider themselves wise since ancient times.
然而，逻辑学寻找人类思维的法则...
However, logic searches for the laws of human thought...
科学的大树在自认堕落的欧洲生长。 集权体制中， 信仰被权力取代， 权力就是一切， 权力决定地位、财富、学位还有光荣正义。分权体制中， 人们得到了言论自由和信仰自由。集权体制中人们跪下磕头， 献出忠诚后却谎话连篇， 唯利是图， 利益、力量和权力的指引下人们爬向一座金字塔， 几乎所有的人爬了上来。分权体制中生活一样的艰辛， 却有更多真相和思考真相的机会，因此 产生了哲学、数学、物理学、化学、生物学， 几乎所有知识体系的大树开始萌芽生长， 音乐、绘画和雕塑都在分权的天空下展示创造力。
在金字塔上，权力的方向就是一级级台阶升高的方向。 权力解决几乎所有问题， 却不会给人以做人的机会。
On the pyramids, the direction of power is the direction in which the steps rise. Power solves almost all problems but does not give people a chance to be human.
宗教组织并不等于上帝。 任何组织都必须建立官僚体系， 教士也有原罪， 但是起码他们需要遵守圣经。 这样印出圣经后 ， 大家对照一下， 就可以看看合同是怎样写的。
Religious organizations are not equivalent to God. Any organization must establish an administrative system, priests also have original sin, but at least they need to adhere to the Bible. This way, after printing the Bible, everyone can compare and see how the contract is written.
新教徒要求男孩女孩都要学会阅读圣经， 从而自己理解上帝的教诲。 相反， 一个只讲信仰却不让人们思考和表达的宗教必然组织成为奴隶的国度， 和暴君、强盗、骗子们组织的极权统治并没有本质的区别。
Evangelicals要求男孩女孩都要学会阅读《圣经》， 以便自己理解上帝的教诲。 相反，一个只讲信仰却不让人们思考和表达的宗教必然会成为一个奴隶制国家， 与暴君、强盗、骗子们组织的极权统治并无本质区别。
早在文字出现之前， 我们就看到了宗教探索与艺术创造在进化中的作用。 现在仿佛是巧合。在欧洲人开始成为推动历史的强大力量之前， 在大航海 、殖民扩张、 工业化这些历史过程之前。 文艺复兴和宗教改革仿佛选择了推进历史的新的起点， 此时科学尚在萌芽中。
Before the advent of writing, we can see the role that religious exploration and artistic creation played in evolution. It seems almost coincidental. Before Europeans became a powerful force driving history, before the Age of Exploration, colonial expansion, and industrialization, the Renaissance and Reformation seemed to choose a new starting point for advancing history when science was still in its infancy.
艺术带有神秘的力量， 这是一种非暴力的强迫， 艺术需要认可，因此艺术就是寻求认可的力量。 这样的力量很难找到， 这就是艺术家成为危险职业的原因， 真正的艺术家必须走到理解与认可的边缘， 在被人类抛弃的悬崖边上找回认可。 这样危险的工作就是让艺术家陷入贫穷和疯狂的原因， 这个原因是无法被控制的， 这就是命运。 贩卖艺术品的人有更多机会发财， 但是他们不是艺术家。 艺术品和它们的欣赏者都可以在不使用文字语言的情况下表达感受。 国王可以用大堆的金币购买艺术品， 这些艺术品最终却得到鄙视而不是认可。 宗教同样需要被认可。与科学不同的是， 宗教常常自称面对灵魂， 灵魂没有得到实验测试 ， 所以只是感觉， 既然如此， 我们的讨论也就是在感觉范围了。
对于现代人来说科学是不是一种宗教？
Is science for modern people a religion?
科学是面对自然的， 科学证据必须被反复测试， 而宗教更为古老， 来自遥远的恶梦。 所以不要纠缠了， 这是两个不同的领域， 出现在不同的时空。
现在是十六世纪，科学尚未得到几个世纪后的地位。
Now it is the 16th century, and science has not yet attained the status it would several centuries later.
1519年西班牙人在墨西哥东海岸登陆， 科尔斯特领导不到1000人入侵阿兹特克帝国， 他神奇的成功了。 当时南美印第安人有两个国家， 还有一个是印加帝国， 后来被另一位西班牙人皮萨罗更为神奇的征服。
In 1519, Spanish explorers landed on the east coast of Mexico, Cortés led less than 1,000 people to invade the Aztec Empire, and he miraculously succeeded. At that time, there were two nations among South American indigenous peoples; one was the Incan Empire, which was later more miraculously conquered by another Spanish explorer, Pizarro.
当西班牙人进入阿兹特克帝国时， 这个国家的印第安人还在做大型活祭。 以万计数的印第安人被他们的同胞押入神庙， 来到印第安式的金字塔顶， 一个接一个仰面躺下， 被尖锐石器在身体左侧肋骨下划开。 用一只手插入切口， 活活摘出心脏， 放入火坛， 再将头颅和肢体滚下金字塔台阶。祭司们可能会披上新剥的人皮跳舞， 这样的血祭是为了讨神灵的欢心， 风调雨顺。
这一种神灵显然是属于嗜血的物种。
This kind of deity clearly belongs to a bloodthirsty species.
印第安文明可悲的覆灭了， 但是活宰同胞的文明是不属于人类的文明。
The sad downfall of the Indian civilization occurred, but a civilization that involves live sacrifices is not a human civilization.
灭掉这种神灵， 是人类最伟大的工作之一。
To eradicate such deities is one of humanity's greatest works.
1519年的中国， 心学的创始人王守仁正在中国南昌平乱。
In China in 1519, the founder of Heart Learning, Wang Yangming, was suppressing unrest in Nanchang.
当时北美印第安人尚未建立国家， 这样， 后来西班牙人从中美洲北上的时候， 他们从墨西哥走到了北美， 看到跑来跑去没有国家、只有部落， 勉强可以说已经出现民族的自由流浪的北美印第安人， 西班牙人感觉无从下手。他们的牛羊和马匹都被偷去了， 占领北美远比占领南美困难， 这里没有国家， 没有这种野兽， 这里的印第安人更为自由，也就更难于征服。 后来， 北美洲的故事和南美洲完全不同， 欧洲人在南美洲得到了黄金白银， 而北美洲的故事是从开垦农田开始的。
At the time, the North American Indians had not established nations. Thus, when the Spanish came north from Central America, they walked from Mexico into North America and saw tribes running around without any nation, barely able to call the free-roaming North American Indians a nation at all. The Spaniards found themselves at a loss when their cattle and horses were stolen. Occupying North America was far more difficult than occupying South America; there were no nations, no such beasts here, and the Indians were freer and harder to conquer. Later, the story of North America was entirely different from that of South America; Europeans in South America found gold and silver, while in North America, the story began with cultivating fields.
南美的国家消失了， 没有机会留下自己的文字和历史书， 所谓国家让自己领土上的印第安人更快的被征服。 曾经有多少印第安人生活在这里啊， 这可不是天方夜谭。随着历史推进， 人们迟早会遭遇国家这种野兽的。这些可耻的野兽 ， 它通常对同胞凶残， 对敌人软弱， 在失败后以种种借口变本加厉的在国民身上找回损失， 迫使底层人口不断赞美统治者的伟大。
The countries of South America vanished, leaving no chance for their people to leave behind written records and histories, with the supposed states hastening the conquest of the indigenous peoples on their territories. How many indigenous people once lived here? This is not a fairy tale. As history progresses, people will inevitably encounter such beasts called states. These shameless beasts are usually ferocious towards their own kind and weak towards enemies, making up various excuses to compound their losses in times of failure, forcing the lower classes to endlessly praise the greatness of rulers.
而所谓爱国者， 就是强迫他人去爱一群畜生的人。 就是这么一种东西， 如果它们把自己的爱放在自己心里， 原本也无可指责。 然而不幸的是它们通常以教育的方法、以愚民的伎俩、以光荣的名义、 以铁血的手段来迫使人们爱上这种恶魔。 用欺骗的手段宣传所谓真理， 做着这些很可耻的事情， 却好像自然的拥有了天地大义。 最终， 它们让更多人受到迫害遭遇死亡， 其原因却是一群畜生的爱国主义。
And so-called patriots are those who force others to love a group of beasts.
Such things, if they keep their love within themselves, would be无可指责. Unfortunately, they usually employ educational methods, tricks for the ignorant, glorious names, and ruthless means to compel people to fall in love with such demons.
They propagate so-called truths through deceit, doing very shameful things,
yet seem to naturally possess the great righteousness of heaven and earth. In the end,
they cause more people to suffer persecution and death,
all because of a group of beasts' patriotism.
上文的两位西班牙征服者中， Hernando Cortes， 1485—1547， 是科尔斯特的英文名。
Among the two Spanish conquerors mentioned above, Hernando Cortes, 1485—1547, is the English name for科尔斯特.
Francisco Pizarro， 1471-1541， 是另一位西班牙人， 皮萨罗， 他的名字中包含比萨饼的拼写， 他带着不到200人把印加帝国做成了西班牙人的比萨饼， 西班牙人吃了比萨饼， 走上强盛的道路， 成为欧洲大陆最有影响力的国家。
Francisco Pizarro, 1471-1541, was another Spaniard named Pizarro, his name spelled with the same letters as pizza, he conquered the Inca Empire with less than 200 people, the Spanish ate their pizza and rose to power, becoming the most influential country in Europe.
1521年麦哲伦环航地球， 由西班牙的查理一世支持， 航海和征服南美的过程充满了传奇故事。
In 1521, Magellan Circumnavigated the Earth, supported by King Charles I of Spain, the process of navigation and conquest in South America was filled with legendary stories.
航海时船上比监狱更局限， 没有空间， 没有淡水， 没有动力， 没可能逃跑， 却必须不断的劳动， 必须依靠有限的体力维持一条承受海风和海浪的小船， 在无尽的海水上保持航行寻找方向。 必须维持纪律和森严的等级， 不然的话这些水手会发疯。
Navigating at sea is more confining than a prison, with no space, no fresh water, and no power, no possibility of escape, yet one must constantly work, relying on limited physical strength to maintain a small boat battered by sea winds and waves, steering through endless seas in search of direction. Discipline and strict hierarchy must be maintained, or the sailors would go mad.
1525年5月起义的日耳曼农民在Frankenhauson 遇到贵族军队， 三十万起义的农民面对 六千名前来镇压的军队。 农民惨败， 数千人被屠宰了，死伤十万， 军队一方只有6名死伤， 其中2名仅仅是轻伤， 这只是日耳曼(就是德国)农民战争的一部分。
In May 1525, the German peasants encountered noble armies at Frankenhauson during their uprising. Three hundred thousand peasant rebels faced an army of six thousand sent to suppress them. The peasants suffered a惨败, with thousands being slaughtered and tens of thousands wounded, while only six soldiers from the army were injured—only two of whom had minor injuries. This was just part of the German (which is Germany) Peasant War.
现代人可能以为古时候起义比较容易， 因为农民使用锄头也可以在冷兵器作战，错矣。 农民和职业化的军队早已经无法对抗， 冷兵器时代也是如此，起义从来不容易。
Modern people might think that uprisings were easier in ancient times, because farmers could use hoes to fight with cold weapons. Wrong. Farmers could not have stood up against professional armies even then, nor was it any different in the age of cold weapons; uprisings have never been easy.
1525年马丁路德和一名修女结婚了， 这不是什么大问题， 相反的问题才是大问题：如何才能保证一群自称没有性欲的教士不说谎？
In 1525, Martin Luther married a nun, and this wasn't the real problem; the real issue was: how could one ensure that a group of monks, who claimed to have no sexual desires, were not lying?
他在德国农民战争中一开始保持中立态度，即批评对农民的不公平态度， 也批评农民没有耐心的反抗。他同样支持城镇化和经济中心的发展， 他认为农民的工作是劳动，而统治阶层的工作是维护和平。 后来，他的思想发生了变化，他认为农民制造的罪恶大过了农民的对手， 最后他的立场完全倾向于统治者了， 甚至包括在这一事件中认同德国统治阶层在罗马天主教的同盟。
He maintained an initially neutral stance in the German Peasants' War, criticizing both the unfair treatment of peasants and their lack of patience in resisting. He also supported urbanization and the development of economic centers, believing that the work of farmers was labor while that of rulers was to maintain peace. Later, his thoughts changed, and he believed that the sins committed by the peasants outweighed those of their opponents. His stance eventually fully shifted toward the rulers, even including an alignment with the German ruling class in their alliance with the Roman Catholic Church.
可见，历史和现实都是复杂的，然而金字塔是简单的。
It can be seen that history and reality are complex, yet the pyramid is simple.
金字塔上有一个简单的现象，塔内的重力是指向顶点的。 通常所谓人往高处走，水往低处流。 金字塔内不是这样，这里一切都向上方转移， 包括水也在向上流，还有财富、权力和荣誉都在向上移动， 武器、盔甲和军队组织能力也都流向上层， 因为重力指向上方。在金字塔里不论古代还是现代， 反抗都一样艰难，这里的起义要比欧洲困难得多。 这里的所谓农民起义中，农民常常只是在历史书里背黑锅而已。
There is a simple phenomenon on the pyramids: gravity points towards the apex inside the pyramid. The saying goes that people tend to rise to higher positions while water flows downhill. Inside the pyramid, it's not like that; everything shifts upwards here, including water flowing upwards, as well as wealth, power, and honor all moving upward, weapons, armor, and military organization skills also flow towards the upper levels, because gravity points upwards. In both ancient and modern pyramids, rebellion is just as difficult; uprisings are much harder here than in Europe. In what are often called farmer rebellions, farmers frequently end up bearing the blame in historical books.
王守仁的一生也经历动荡的局势，1517年他在南赣定乱， 1519年他镇压宁王之乱，这不是农民起义， 而根本是明朝王爷的动乱而已。
Wang Yangming also lived through tumultuous times. In 1517, he pacified the unrest in Nan gan. In 1519, he suppressed the rebellion of Prince Ning, which was not a peasant uprising but fundamentally a disturbance by a Ming dynasty prince.
到了1525年， 王守仁创建阳明书院， 并且续了一个老婆，很巧合的和马丁路德同年结婚。 当然他们两个相互不认识，他们不知道彼此的存在， 这是我们身为时空观察者才能看到的巧合。
By 1525, Wang Shouren founded the Yangming Academy, and married a wife in the same year as Martin Luther did. Of course, they did not know each other and were unaware of the existence of the other— it is a coincidence that we, as time observers, can see.
在将王守仁和马丁路德写到一起的时候希望读者保持清醒， 心学理论相比欧洲当时的哲学和神学理论是必然有缺陷的， 欧洲文艺复兴时人体美学的地位让欧洲学术界可以做到以人为本， 而王守仁就很难为自己的思想确立最重要的基石， 中国人无法理解思想的基石是：人体。
When writing about Wang Shouren and Martin Luther, it is hoped that readers remain清醒, the theory of Mind Learning must inevitably have flaws compared to the philosophy and theology theories in Europe at the time. The status of human body aesthetics during the European Renaissance allowed the academic world in Europe to focus on humanity, and Wang Shouren found it difficult to establish the most crucial foundation for his thoughts. Chinese people cannot understand that the foundation of thought is: the human body.
王守仁也无法例外， 这是金字塔结构为中国人设定的界限，金字塔憎恶人类。 在必须「以上为尊」的金字塔中哪怕是天才提出的思想体系也无法在人类思想史中占有太重要的位置， 因为金字塔上根本没有人类美学的要素，没有对人类身体的尊重。 而没有人体的所谓思想，所谓真理，所谓学识... 全部都是垃圾。
Wang Shouren was no exception to this rule. This is the boundary set by the pyramid structure for the Chinese, and pyramids abhor humans. In a pyramid where "above is supreme" must be upheld, even the intellectual systems of geniuses cannot occupy too important a place in human history, because there are no elements of human aesthetics at the top of the pyramid, nor any respect for the human body. And so-called thoughts, truths, and knowledge... all of it is trash.
在中国历史上发展最多的技术是：愚民、奴民、屠民， 固守原始的文字，科举、官场、黑厚， 避讳、文字狱、审案酷刑、三十六计互害食人， 太监的奴顺、三寸金莲的女德，明哲保身的中庸之恶， 奴役子孙的孝道， 种族歧视的蛮夷之论， 颠倒黑白的阴阳、名可名， ......
In the history of China, the most developed technologies are: indoctrinating the people, enslaving the people, and butchering the people, clinging to primitive文字, imperial examinations, officialdom, and dark thick customs, avoiding taboos, literary inquisitions, harsh judicial torture, thirty-six strategies for mutual harm and eating each other, eunuchs' servile compliance, three-inch golden lotus female virtue, the evil of compromise for self-preservation, filial piety that enslave future generations, racist arguments about barbarians, inverting black and white, yang and yin, names that can be named, ... (...)
这就是为什么一代代努力寻找真理的中国人最终都变成了金字塔上的爬虫， 金字塔上的终极真理就是金字塔低矮的顶点， 它撑不起哲学、逻辑学、神学、艺术、美学、科学技术。 它享受人类创造的技术，同时它贬低创造这些技术的人们。 它必然的阉割人性，它必然在智慧和良知两方面都堕落。
That is why generation after generation of Chinese people who have striven to seek the truth ultimately turned into insects crawling on the pyramids, The ultimate truth on the pyramid is its lowest apex, Which cannot support philosophy, logic, theology, art, aesthetics, or scientific and technological disciplines. It enjoys the technology created by humans while demeaning those who create it. It inevitably castrates human nature, and it inevitably falls in both wisdom and conscience.
爬虫们的图腾都没有人体的形态， 常常都明显不是人类的神，比如龙与鼎， 它们不可能代表人性之爱。
The totems of the spiders take no human form, often clearly not representing human gods, like dragons and cauldrons, they cannot symbolize human love.
重点指出王守仁和马丁路德生于同一年代是为了给愚民文化的继承者们留下一个问题。 对于不幸生于愚昧的社会中的人来说， 强行吹捧自己的所谓文明也许会带来更为恶劣的后果， 让继承这一文化的人们变得无法认识事实， 从而加强了愚民的力量。 愚民常常都是自己的奴隶， 可恨可叹。
Emphasizing that Wang Shouren and Martin Luther were born in the same era leaves a question for those who inherit the culture of ignorant people. For those unfortunate enough to be born into an ignorant society, forcing them to boast about their so-called civilization might lead to even worse consequences, making those who inherit this culture unable to recognize reality, thus strengthening the power of ignorance. Ignorant people are often their own slaves, both hateful and lamentable.
如果美德变成为一种抽象概念比如良知， 它很可能变为空中楼阁得不到支撑， 从而崩塌如同山体滑落。
If virtue and morality become abstract concepts, such as conscience, they are likely to be nothing more than空中楼阁without support, crumbling like a landslide.
金字塔不是撑不起良知，它是相反的毁灭良知的社会几何体。
The pyramids are not a society that fails to uphold conscience; rather, they are a social geometric body that destroys it.
Plato, 柏拉图曾经说过一个好人应该有四种特性， 也就是四种美德： 智力，勇气，节制，公正， Wise, Brave, Temperance, Just。
Plato once said that a good person should have four characteristics: wisdom, courage, self-restraint, and justice, Wise, Brave, Temperance, Just.
同时柏拉图认为美德或者相关品质的拥有者：人，是肉体、思想和意志的组合。
Plato also believed that the owners of virtues or related qualities—humans—are a combination of body, mind, and will.
柏拉图留下多处文字记录做为上述内容的证据，比如 他有一本书名字是 Republic，公元前 375 年发布， 书记录另一位哲学家的对话内容 （Socrates，苏格拉底)。 这本书原来的主题是关于正义、世界、政府这样的概念讨论， 书中也提及这四项品质。 以下我们不再为每一项论点的引用提供说明， 证伪的能力是我们对读者的基本要求。
Plato left multiple texts as evidence for the above content, such as he has a book titled Republic, released around 375 BC, which records dialogues with another philosopher (Socrates). The original theme of this book was a discussion on concepts like justice, the world, and government, and it also mentions these four qualities. We will no longer provide citations for each argument here, as our basic requirement is to provide refutation capability to the readers.
从古希腊到古罗马，再到罗马陷落后西欧的社会演化， 从雅典神殿 到 大教堂， 从一任任教皇到马丁路德， 我们也不想忘记提及「忏悔录」的作者的名字, 希波的奥古斯丁，Augustine of Hippo, 在历史上有一串串名字迭加到对美德的维持中。
From ancient Greece to ancient Rome, and then to the social evolution of Western Europe after the fall of Rome, from the Athenian temples to the cathedrals, from one pope to Martin Luther, we also do not wish to forget to mention the name of the author of "Confessions", Augustine of Hippo, with a series of names叠加在对美德的维持中.
圣经的新约部分有很多故事是揭示美德与恶习的。
Many of the stories in the New Testament part of the Bible reveal virtues and vices.
教会定义过三种神学美德 （Theological Virtues）：信仰、希望、LOVE。 四种枢德： 精明慎重，公平正义，坚定不移，温和自制， prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance
The Church defined three theological virtues: faith, hope, LOVE. Four cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.
这四德被称为枢德： Cardianl Virtues。 Cardinal 在天主教会中形容靠近教皇的高位。
These four virtues are called cardinal virtues. Cardinal in Catholicism refers to high-ranking positions near the Pope.
在中世纪，欧洲教会针对七宗罪，鼓励 七美德 ：
In the Middle Ages, the European Church encouraged seven virtues in response to the seven deadly sins.
Lust 欲望 - Chastity 贞洁 Gluttony 放纵宠溺 - Temperance 节制 Greed 贪婪 - Charity 公益 Sloth 怠惰 - Diligence 勤快 Wrath 暴怒 - Patience 耐心 Envy 嫉妒 - Kindness 宽容 Pride 傲慢 - Humility 谦卑
Lust - Chastity Gluttony - Temperance Greed - Charity Sloth - Diligence Wrath - Patience Envy - Kindness Pride - Humility
文艺复兴之后科学大树在欧洲萌芽， 之后在神学、哲学、伦理之外人们有机会应用生理学、心理学、 和经济、政治、管理、统计等等学科进一步研究美德与相应的恶习， 这方面现代社会的内容非必要暂时不再细述。
After the Renaissance, the tree of science began to sprout in Europe, after which people had the opportunity to apply physiology, psychology, as well as economics, politics, management, statistics, and other disciplines to further study virtues and their corresponding vices. Details on this aspect of modern society are not necessary for a detailed discussion at this time.
相应的在东方，历史上人们当然也思考过美德， 也许没有应用分类与层级化的方法， 孔(551-479BC)孟(372-289)学说中普遍存在的：仁义礼智，孝悌廉耻，礼乐教化等等。
In the East, of course, people have also pondered virtues historically, perhaps without applying classified and hierarchical methods. Commonly found in Confucius (551-479 BC) and Mencius (372-289 BC): benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, filial piety, fraternal duty, integrity, and shame, as well as rituals and music education.
在《中庸》第二十章有：智仁勇，三达德。
In Chapter 20 of The Doctrine of the Mean: Wisdom, kindness, and courage are the three virtues that lead to understanding.
子曰：好学近乎知，力行近乎仁，知耻近乎勇。 知斯三者，则知所以修身；知所以修身，则知所以治人； 知所以治人，则知所以治天下国家矣。
Confucius said: "To love learning is almost to know wisdom, to strive and act with great virtue, and to know shame is nearly to be brave. Knowing these three things means knowing how to cultivate oneself; knowing how to cultivate oneself means knowing how to govern others; knowing how to govern others means knowing how to govern the country and harmonize the world."
这是孔子的孙辈，子思，对孔子思想的发展。 这里将 子思（483-402BC） 和 柏拉图(424-348) 做个对比， 公元前400年的时候他俩人都还活着， 两人应该完全不知道有关对方的一切存在， 当时子思已经老迈而柏拉图还是个青年， 三达德中有两项可以直接对应 Plato 的四美德： Wise - 智， Brave - 勇。
This was further developed by Confucius' grandson, Zisi. Here we contrast Zisi (483-402 BC) with Plato (424-348 BC), who were both alive during the same era. It is said that they were contemporaries.
剩下的就是较难对应的，仁，这是东亚思想的核心之一。 现代人常常把这个仁字放在词语中帮助理解：仁慈、仁义、仁厚，等等。
The rest are harder to correspond to, which is one of the core concepts in East Asian thought: Ren. Modern people often use this character as part of other words to help understand it, such as benevolence, righteousness, and kindness, etc.
孔子本人对仁的解释如何？ 在论语中五个弟子问他什么是仁， 五个回答都不一样。
How did Confucius explain the concept of Ren? In the Analects, five disciples asked him what Ren was, and each of their answers was different.
颜渊问仁。子曰：“克己复礼为仁。一日克己复礼，天下归仁焉。为仁由己，而由人乎哉？” 子张问仁于孔子。孔子曰... 恭、宽、信、敏、惠。 樊迟问仁。子曰：“先难而后获，可谓仁矣。” 樊迟后来又问一次什么是仁，子曰：“居处恭，执事敬，与人忠，虽之夷狄，不可弃也。” 仲弓问仁。子曰：“出门如见大宾，使民如承大祭，己所不欲，勿施于人，在邦无怨，在家无怨。” 司马牛问仁。子曰：“仁者其言也仞。”
During the Renaissance, art began to reflect stronger spiritual power, which should provide a better foundation for virtue or greater tolerance of vice.
孔子还说过“吾思仁，则仁至矣” 就是说我一想到仁，仁就来到我这里了。
Confucius also said, "When I think of ren, ren comes to me." This means that when I think of ren, ren arrives at my side.
因为每个学生得到的答案都不同， 所以人们盛赞孔子是因材施教。但是， 从逻辑学来看孔子制造了巨大的错误， 这应该是从老子那里继承来的逻辑错误， 《道可道非常道》的错误演变为《仁可仁非常仁》。
Because each student received a different answer, people praised Confucius for teaching according to individual capacities. However, from the perspective of logic, Confucius made a significant mistake, which should have been a logical error inherited from Laozi, the error in "The Way That Can Be Told Is Not the Constant Way" evolving into "Ren That Can Be Renowned Is Not the Constant Ren."
颜渊的仁不是子张的仁，子张的仁不是樊迟的仁... 以此类推，每个人的仁都不是另一个人的仁。 也就是说制造了一个逻辑谬论的公式，仁不等于仁：
Yan Yuan's ren is not Zizhang's ren, Zizhang's ren is not Fan Chi's ren... By analogy, no one's ren is the same as another person's ren. In other words, a logical fallacy formula has been created: ren does not equal ren.
仁 ！= 仁
Kindness ≠ Kindness
在逻辑学上我们知道当这个公式出现时， 人们从此再不可能有逻辑思维的能力。
In logic, we know that when this formula appears, people will lose their ability for logical thinking from then on.
柏拉图之后，亚里士多德，Aristotle (384–322 BCE) 从年龄上来说他比孟子 小十多岁， 他俩当然也应该完全不知道对方， 是我们在做历史年代排序。 亚里士多德 开创了古典逻辑学， 在逻辑学中，如果： A 不等于 A， 则不需要再讲什么逻辑了， 这里 A 是任意名词。
After Plato, Aristotle (384–322 BCE) He was about ten years younger than Mencius, Of course, they could not have known each other at all, It's us who are putting them in chronological order. Aristotle founded classical logic. In logic, if A is not equal to A, then there is no need to discuss any more logic, where A is any noun.
没有逻辑就可以任意诡辩了。
One can indulge in arbitrary sophistry without logic.
仁非仁，这和《道非道》一样，坚持任意一条就可以放弃逻辑了。
Right or not right, this is just like "Way or Not Way," where adhering to any one of them allows for the abandonment of logic.
许多人都会在此时指出：老庄 和 孔孟 都没有说过：道非道，或者仁非仁。
Many people would point out at this time that Laozi and Zhuangzi, as well as Confucius and Mencius, did not say that Dao is not Dao or Ren is not Ren.
好，我承认是我说的，我说的原话就在上面倒数第二行， 重点就是：仁非仁 OR 道非道 OR A非A，这些全都是反逻辑的，是错的。
Good, I admit it was me who said it, and the exact words are on the second-to-last line above,
The key point is: Ren is not Ren or Dao is not Dao or A is not A; all of these are illogical and wrong.
相反，To be OR not to be is always True.
Opposite, To be or not to be is always true.
并且没有逻辑就没有理智。
And without logic, there is no reason.
老子和孔子二人是要合力消灭中国人的理智吗？ 并非如此，是把二人的思想推上神坛的人们完成了消灭逻辑的大业。
Is it true that Laozi and Confucius were working together to eliminate the intellect of the Chinese people? No, it was those who elevated the thoughts of the two individuals to a divine level who completed the task of eliminating logic.
回归美德的角度来看问题， 无法保持理智的时候应该是无从谈论美德的。 这个社会的所谓美德将失去逻辑基础，从而转向依靠暴力。
From the perspective of returning to virtue, when we cannot maintain rationality, it is inappropriate to talk about virtue. The so-called virtues in this society will lose their logical foundation and thus turn to rely on violence.
这也就说明了为什么后来儒家会支持极权的皇朝帝国体制。 儒家的仁，在仁非仁的情况下，其实完全可以是以仁为名的暴， 这样儒家的学问最终需要权力金字塔来维持。
This also explains why Confucianism later supported the authoritarian imperial system. When benevolence (ren) is not truly benevolent, it can actually be tyranny in the name of ren. Thus, the Confucian scholar's teachings ultimately need to be maintained by a power pyramid.
东方的佛教则说明苦难的三大根源是：贪嗔痴。 其中贪嗔二项，贪婪与愤怒，是人性之罪。 痴呆之痴似乎应该是智力问题， 表示无能力离开愚蠢的智力状态。
Eastern Buddhism, on the other hand, indicates that the three major sources of suffering are greed, anger, and ignorance. Among these, greed and anger represent human sins. The ignorance associated with "痴" (zhī) seems to indicate a mental issue, signifying an inability to escape from a state of foolishness.
老庄与孔孟的学说都没能发展到媲美逻辑学的程度， 道非道，仁非仁，却都自诩高明， 都无法踏上古典逻辑学的台阶。 无法推动智慧进入逻辑思维的空间， 也就是说没有可能建立数理思维， 做为例证的事实就是东亚没有发展出代数和几何学。
Laozi and Zhuangzi's doctrines did not develop to the level of logic, Way is not Way, benevolence is not benevolence, yet they all claim superiority, None of them could step onto the threshold of classical logic. They failed to advance wisdom into the realm of logical thinking, In other words, there was no possibility of developing mathematical reasoning. The fact that East Asia did not develop algebra and geometry serves as an example.
东亚文化中对美德的叙述是缺乏理性支撑的， 因此我们将看到的是一个美德无法立足， 德行向食人族退化的社会， 这和黑格尔对孔子的评论相符合： 思辨的哲学是一点也没有。
In the Chinese cultural narrative of virtues, there is a lack of rational support, thus we will see a society where virtues cannot stand firm, and virtue degenerates into something akin to cannibalism, which aligns with Hegel's comment on Confucius: Speculative philosophy is utterly lacking.
如果我们以发展出数理思维能力做为哲学入门的门槛， 那么现实就是：中国史上没有进入哲学门槛。
If we set the development of mathematical thinking as the门槛 for entering philosophy, then the reality is: China has never had anyone enter the threshold of philosophy.
因此如果讲什么东方哲学对美德的思考，这就是一个病句。 一个从来没有的主角如何思考人类的美德？
Therefore, if one were to speak of Eastern philosophy's thoughts on virtue, this would be a grammatical error. How can a never-before-existent protagonist think about human virtues?
美德与恶习的根源是人体， 欧洲进入文艺复兴后涌现的裸体的艺术品让人们有机会再一次直视自己。
The roots of virtue and vice lie in the human body, After Europe entered the Renaissance, nude artworks emerged, giving people the opportunity to look at themselves once again.
美德表现在多个维度上，并且有对应的恶习。 这反映了善与恶的对立， 比如七美德与七宗罪的对应。 这些恶习更多的是源自于原罪 Sins，并不值得法律的暴力干涉， 这是一种价值参考，让人们舍弃恶、接受善。 社会需要更高的维度才能容纳美德，甚至包容恶习。
Virtues manifest in multiple dimensions, and there are corresponding vices. This reflects the opposition between good and evil, such as the correspondence between the seven virtues and the seven deadly sins. These vices are more rooted in original sin and do not warrant violent legal intervention. This is a value reference that encourages people to舍弃恶and accept善. Society needs a higher dimension to accommodate virtues and even tolerate vices.
在欧洲，多维度的社会是这样组成的： 教堂提供一个信仰的庇护所， 比如上述四枢德，神学美德， 都是由教会定义和维护的。 更早的时候，古希腊的城邦之间是全然不同的环境， 斯巴达人喜爱战士，而雅典人喜爱女神的智慧。 后来，西罗马和东罗马的分裂提供了不同的环境， 西欧分裂的领地总是有很多个国家共存， 不同的王国保持不同价值体系。 而且欧洲的地理特点也促使人们进入不同的生活方式， 比如农民自然需要勤劳的品德， 而海边的渔民则更容易欣赏风浪中的勇气和水面的技能， 沿海的商人需要精明，北欧的海盗则要果敢和坚定。 总的来说欧洲是个多维度的世界， 始终没有一个权力机构能够压制其它的形成大一统。 或者说欧洲的分裂让欧洲人有机会保留美德、拓展思想的空间。
In Europe, multidimensional societies are composed as follows: Churches provide a sanctuary for faith, where virtues such as the cardinal virtues and theological virtues are defined and maintained by the church. Earlier on, ancient Greek city-states were vastly different environments, with Spartans valuing warriors and Athenians valuing the wisdom of goddesses. Later, the split between the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire provided differing contexts, where fragmented territories in Western Europe always hosted multiple countries coexisting, with different kingdoms maintaining distinct value systems. Moreover, the geographical characteristics of Europe also propelled people into diverse ways of life: farmers naturally need virtues like diligence, while coastal fishermen are more likely to appreciate courage and maritime skills in rough seas, and coastal merchants require sharpness, while Norse pirates must be brave and resolute. In general, Europe is a multidimensional world where no single authority could suppress the formation of a unified system. Or perhaps it was Europe's fragmentation that allowed Europeans the opportunity to preserve virtues and expand their thoughts.
美德最大的敌人不仅仅是原罪， 她更强的敌人是腐败的权力， 是打碎美德夺取天下的僭主和它们的利益集团， 是消灭善良的社会结构。
The greatest enemy of virtue and goodness is not just original sin, but corrupt power, tyrants who seize the world by breaking down virtue and their利益集团, and the social structures that eliminate kindness.
我曾想要观察历史中美德在中国的权力金字塔上崩溃的过程， 但是却看到了更为令人窒息的情况： 金字塔上就根本没有为美德预留位置。
I had wished to observe the process by which virtue and merit collapsed in China’s power pyramid according to history, but what I saw was even more suffocating: there was no place reserved for virtue and merit at the top of the pyramid.
在这里美德只能以原始的方式出现在自然人身上， 在社会结构中没有美德的容身之处。
Here virtue can only appear in its original form through natural individuals, with no room for virtue within the social structure.
权力的金字塔是一个低维度的世界， 这样的社会中权力压倒一切其它的， 甚至可以说只有权力一个维度， Cardinal Number is One. 下级服从上级，因此人们放弃对美德的追求， 以卑鄙的手段爬上去。如曹操所说：宁让我负天下人。
The pyramid of power is a low-dimensional world, where power overshadows all else, almost to the point where there is only one dimension—power. Cardinal Number is One.
Subordinates obey superiors, so people forsake the pursuit of virtue, climbing up through despicable means. As Cao Cao said:宁让我负天下人, which can be translated as "Rather let me betray all under heaven."
在金字塔上，美德得不到存身的空间， 早在大秦帝国的构建之前就如碎石般崩塌了， 之后就如同后人对「三国演义」的分析： 黑与厚才是权力社会的“美德”。 在金字塔上权力的支撑是暴力和谎言， 为了爬向金字塔的顶点人们理解无所不用其极的手段。 正如曹操在三国演义中所说（这是故事化的书籍） 宁教我负天下人，休教天下人负我。 此时所谓的美德只是一种必须的欺骗， 这种欺骗仍然有正面的意义， 它说明人们仍然有一个正面的价值评判。
On the pyramids, there is no space for virtue, having crumbled long before the construction of the Qin Empire, and afterward, like later analyses of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms': black and thick are the "virtues" in a society governed by power. The support of power on the pyramid is violence and lies; to climb to the apex, people will use any means necessary. As Cao Cao says in Romance of the Three Kingdoms (this is a story-based book), I would rather betray all under heaven than be betrayed by them. At this time, so-called virtue is merely a necessary deception, and such deception still has positive significance, showing that people still have some positive value judgments.
在秦始皇之后，既然社会结构是金字塔， 那么德行在金字塔上的出现即崩溃也就是必然现象了。 汉朝继承秦始皇大一统集权体制的代价由曹操一句话概括， 但是中国人也许很少有机会理解这个问题的本质， 它说明集权体制毁灭道德的过程是一种深刻而且无法阻挡的过程。 这句话也可能是《三国演义》的创作者们自己写的， 它说明在权力得不到制衡的唯以成败论英雄的社会里人人互害， 如果不负天下人，就会被天下人所负。
After the Qin Dynasty, given that society was structured as a pyramid, the appearance of morality collapsing at the top of the pyramid was a必然 phenomenon. The cost to the Han Dynasty for inheriting the Qin Dynasty's unified and centralized system was summarized in one sentence by Cao Cao. However, perhaps few Chinese people have had the opportunity to understand the essence of this issue. It indicates that the process of moral decay under a centralized system is profound and不可阻挡. This statement might also be what the creators of Romance of the Three Kingdoms wrote themselves, showing that in a society where power is not checked and heroes are judged solely by their success, everyone harms each other. If one does not owe to all under heaven, they will be owed by all under heaven.
文艺复兴时艺术创作反映出人们有更强的精神力量， 这应该可以为美德提供更强支撑， 或者为恶习提供更大的包容。
The art creations during the Renaissance reflected a stronger spiritual power in people, which should have provided stronger support for virtues, or greater tolerance for vices.
到马丁路德，卡尔文等人开始挑战教皇与教堂时， 王守仁开始构思心学， 格物致知，致良知。 他的良知在他的身上以什么方式体现呢？ 镇压起义维护朝廷。
When Martin Luther, Calvin, and others began challenging the Pope and the church, Wang Yangming started to contemplate the Mind School, elucidating principles through investigation of things, and realizing one’s conscience. How did his conscience manifest in him? By suppressing uprisings to maintain the court.
当然可以说马丁路德的新教扩张后，日耳曼地区也爆发了农民起义，而他也一度支持贵族对农民的镇压。
Of course, one could say that after the expansion of Luther's Protestantism, peasant uprisings also broke out in the German regions, and he did support the nobility's suppression of the peasants for a time.
但是从社会结构来说，西欧与东亚迥然不同， 西方助生了更多的社会维度，东方则加强了一维结构， 大一统的一就是这个社会的思想的自由度了。
But from a societal structure perspective, Western Europe and East Asia are quite different, Western societies foster more social dimensions, while Eastern societies enhance one-dimensional structures, The unity of the one defines the freedom of thought in this society.
欧洲的神权对抗着世俗权力， 而世俗权力分裂在不同的大大小小的皇室中， 宗教革命则进一步从罗马天主教神权金字塔中分裂出新教。
Religion in Europe stood against secular power, which was further divided among various royal houses of different sizes and importance, while the religious revolution split off new Protestant denominations from the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical pyramid.
再后来西欧产生科学的萌芽， 逐渐可以应用生理学、心理学对美德与恶习展开更多研究。 而东亚则修建一座更大的金字塔，直到今天， 塔上的人类失去更多的尊严， 包括爬到顶点的那些。 这种所谓成功者显示出智慧与德行上的巨大缺陷， 它们的虚荣伴随着大量的死亡， 也将东亚社会中的人类压制在低维度的思想空间里。
Later, scientific germs emerged in Western Europe, gradually allowing for more research into virtue and vice using physiology and psychology. Meanwhile, in East Asia, a larger pyramid was constructed, which continues to this day, with the people at the top losing more of their dignity, including those who reached the apex. These so-called successful individuals exhibit significant flaws in wisdom and morality, their vanity accompanied by extensive death, and this has also压制在低维度的思想空间里。restricted human thought in East Asian societies to lower-dimensional spaces.
观察东亚传统文化，这甚至算不上是美德崩溃的情况， 而是这里根本没有可能建立容纳德行的社会结构。 人体的遭遇更为清楚的显示着真相：在这个社会里， 太监被切除的鸡巴和妇女被折断的脚掌都不会引起学者们的关注。
Observing East Asian traditional culture, this is not a case of virtue's collapse, but rather that there was never the possibility of establishing social structures that could accommodate virtues. The human body's experience more clearly reveals the truth: in this society, the castration of eunuchs and the broken feet of women did not引起学者们的关注.
真不知道它们如何有脸自称有学问？
How dare they claim to have any scholarship or learning?
这些学者也当然不会理解人体器官被活摘对人类意味着什么。 这和阿兹泰克或者印加神庙里的活祭是一样的目的， 为了让太阳照常升起， 为了农作物丰收。
These scholars would certainly not understand what it means to harvest organs from living humans.
This is just like the live sacrifices in Aztec or Incan temples, all for the sun to rise as usual and for bountiful crops.
如果可以让地球气候正常，可以牺牲中国所有的人形韭菜。
If we could normalize the Earth's climate, we could sacrifice all of China's human-shaped韭菜.
后人盛赞王守仁有三大成就足以成圣：立德、立功、立言， 这些人中的多数都似乎没有想到这个社会没有言论自由， 而没有话语权的人们没有任何机会保留美德。
Later generations praised Wang Yangming for three achievements that made him worthy of sainthood: establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing words. Most of these people seemed not to have realized that in a society without freedom of speech, those who lack the right to speak have no chance to preserve their virtues.
1529 年 4月 19日，人们在德国小镇聚会，Speyer/Spirers 请求取消对 马丁 路德 的禁令。 这一历史事件被称为 Protestation at Speyer。 参与者中有六位王子、14 个帝国自由城市的代表， 人们呼吁停止阻碍「福音派」的信仰传播。 这里的两个关键词是：Protestant, Evangelical Faith.
On April 19, 1529, people gathered in a small German town, Speyer/Spirers, requesting that the ban on Martin Luther be lifted. This historical event is known as the Protestation at Speyer. Six princes and representatives of 14 Imperial Free Cities were among the participants; they called for an end to the obstacles preventing the spread of Protestant faith. The two key terms here are: Protestant, Evangelical Faith.
在大航海中欧洲人来到美洲， 新世界让印第安人的世界结束了。 欧洲人带来的钢铁 、火药和细菌都令印第安人无法抵抗， 杀人最多的是细菌， 历史上， 印第安人没有机会分享欧亚大陆的瘟疫免疫能力。
During the Age of Discovery, Europeans arrived in America, the new world brought an end to the indigenous peoples' world. The steel, gunpowder, and bacteria brought by Europeans made it impossible for the indigenous people to resist, with bacteria being the deadliest. Historically, the indigenous people had no chance to share the immunity against Eurasian plagues.
是否分享， 这是一个决定人种的命运的因素。 历史上由印第安人的命运证明了这一条定律： 不分享就灭亡。
Whether to share or not is a factor that determines the fate of a race. History has proven this law for the indigenous people: those who do not share will perish.
然而在中国的书籍中很多都夸大欧洲人对印第安人的屠杀， 屠杀确实发生过，但是数字也无法和中国人对中国人的屠杀相比。 中国的史书在司马迁的鸡巴被割掉后都不值得相信， 金字塔上没有历史学，金字塔上值得夸耀的只有愚民学。
However, many books in China exaggerate the slaughter of Indigenous people by Europeans, the massacres did occur, but the numbers cannot be compared to the atrocities committed by Chinese against each other. The historical records in China are not trustworthy after Sima Qian's penis was chopped off, there is no history on pyramids; what is praiseworthy on them is only the science of keeping the masses ignorant.
可以说印第安人是无辜的， 美洲大陆结构和海平面的高度变化断绝了他 们和其它人口分享的可能性。
It could be said that the Indigenous people are innocent, as the changes in the height of the American continent and sea level cut off their possibility of sharing with other populations.
大航海为欧洲提供了新世界， 这是上帝的赐福， 为欧洲社会压力提供了减压阀门。 人口压力也许是社会变化的主要原因。 当人口无法逃离， 聚集的人群产生内部压力。 厌恶与仇恨在人群中产生， 这是无法回避的必然。
The Age of Discovery provided Europe with new worlds, a blessing from God, offering a safety valve for social pressures. Population pressure might be the main reason for societal change. When people cannot escape, crowded populations generate internal pressure. Hatred and aversion arise among them—this is an inevitable outcome that cannot be avoided.
对于难于反抗极权的人来说， 生殖是弱者手中最厉害的武器， 让女人生下孩子然后像垃圾一样抛弃， 纵欲之后一脚踢开， 让孩子自生自灭比野狗还不如， 却也可以让自己的血脉去占有未来。 人们以为这是最低成本最高收益的方法， 没有人说它可耻， 既是人类延续的必然方法， 也是报复这个世界的手段。 不仅博弈论可以证明这是一种必然选择， 心理学也可以证明它的倾向性。 而生理学的常识也同样清楚， 人类的身体不断产生的欲望在没有避孕技术的时候将不断的让女人怀孕。
For those who find it difficult to resist authoritarianism,
reproduction is the strongest weapon in the hands of the weak.
Let women give birth and then treat their children like trash,
abuse them and kick them away after satisfying themselves,
letting children fend for themselves even worse than strays,
yet also allowing their own bloodline to claim a place in the future.
People believe this is the method with the lowest cost and highest return,
no one deems it shameful,
as both a necessary means of human continuation
and a way to retaliate against the world.
Not only can game theory prove that this is an inevitable choice,
but psychology also demonstrates its tendency.
And common sense in physiology makes it clear as well,
that without contraceptive technology,
human bodies will continuously produce pregnancies through unceasing desires.
人口上升是必然趋势。 在这样的博弈中， 战争、暴政、泯灭人性、迫害和压制都是多选题的选项。 在人口不断增加的背景下， 获得逃亡路线的人口系统就是得到上帝赐福的人口系统。
Population growth is an inevitable trend. In such a game, wars, tyranny, inhumanity, persecution, and oppression are all options on the multiple-choice question. Against the backdrop of continuously increasing population, a population system that obtains escape routes is a blessed population system.
欧洲人开始了大航海。 人类走出非洲六万年后， 向左和向右的部落后人在美洲大陆见面。他们先握了握手， 然后开始打架。西班牙比萨饼拿着圣经给印加国王看， 同时附上西班牙国王查尔斯五世的占领通知书。 印加国王从来没有看过书， 他， Atahualpa， 不知道怎么翻书， 就把圣经丢到地上， 比萨饼们大喊：他侮辱了圣经， ... 冲呀！ 就挥舞刀剑冲上去了。这就是印加帝国被占领的过程， 但是比萨饼们没有当场把国王捅死， 而是捉住了他， 当做大玩具， 教他下国际象棋，这个玩具给他们大大一房间的黄金， 更多的是白银和珠宝， 可是后来， 比萨饼还是处死了这位国王。
Europeans began the Age of Discovery. Sixty thousand years after humans left Africa, tribes from two directions met on the American continent. They shook hands first before starting to fight; Spanish soldiers showed an Inca king a Bible and an order from Charles V, who never read books. When Atahualpa tried to flip through it, he threw it down, prompting the Spaniards to declare him disrespectful and attacked.
这就是印加帝国的国王， 他的子民也许有一千万印加印第安人。
This was the king of the Inca Empire, whose subjects may have numbered one million Inca Indians.
相比远航到南美洲的西班牙人， 中国人难道没有航海技术吗？有， 但是自古长城作为墙禁， 大海得到海禁。 甚至很久很久以后当网络数据成为知识的大海时， 开始网禁， 让人奇怪中国是否是另一块梦魇之地。
Compared to the Spaniards who set sail to South America, do the Chinese lack navigation technology? No, but from ancient times, the Great Wall served as a wall of restriction, and the sea faced maritime prohibition. Even much later when network data became the ocean of knowledge, internet censorship began. It makes one wonder if China is another place plagued by nightmares.
航海家郑和的鸡巴是他的同胞早就切掉的， 他的皇帝身边是一群群同样的太监，而皇帝的臣民似乎不懂得： 太监失去鸡巴就意味着所有的男人都可以失去鸡巴。 金字塔上的人退化为愚民，再退化为爬虫，它们不值得大海的拥抱。
The penis of Admiral Zheng He was castrated by his fellow countrymen long ago, surrounding his emperor were clusters of eunuchs, and it seemed that the emperor's subjects did not understand: the loss of the penis for eunuchs means that all men can lose their penises. Those on top of the pyramids have regressed into fools, further regressing into lizards, and they are not worthy of the sea's embrace.
金字塔上的神不敢站到顶点的上方， 它们就贬低其它人的神来提升自己的身份。 同样，金字塔上的人就以看着同类摔下台阶为乐， 他们不知道自己也终将摔下去，他们不知道自己是一条爬虫， 偶尔的理智无法改变现实，金字塔上所有人和他们的后代都将变为爬虫， 金字塔的台阶把所有人变身为爬虫，爬虫都会摔下去。
The gods on the pyramids dare not stand above the apex, so they debase other people's gods to elevate their own status. Similarly, the people on the pyramids take pleasure in watching their peers tumble down the steps, and they do not know that they too will eventually fall. They do not know that they are mere crawling creatures. Occasional moments of reason cannot alter reality; all those on the pyramid and their descendants will become crawling creatures. The steps of the pyramid transform everyone into crawling creatures, and all crawling creatures will eventually fall.
此时，英国女皇伊丽莎白一世在位。
At this time, Queen Elizabeth I of England was in power.
1570年教皇庇佑五世宣布英国女皇伊丽莎白一世是伪女皇， 罪恶的仆人。
In 1570, Pope Pius V declared Queen Elizabeth I of England a pseud_queen and evil servant.
1582年，6月21日， 日本的 战国大名 织田信長 在就快要统一全国之前 遇刺身亡。 从而未能在日本 建立更为强势的 中央集权体制。
Demanding humanity from rulers is unfair; their thrones rest on filth, far from human or divine.
当时 织田信长 准备亲赴战场 前去支援 羽田秀吉时， 带领约一百名卫士 在 京都 本能寺 借宿。 他手下另一位大将 明智光秀 带领一万多名战士前来接受检阅， 在军队渡河时，改变日本历史的巨变 就 突然发生了， 这条河 名字是 桂川， 光秀 在河边对士兵们大喊：敌在本能寺！
By this time in China, they not only had Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin but also Journey to the West. This book was printed in 1592, believed to be authored by Wu Cheng'en, though his authorship remains uncertain. Despite being a masterpiece compiled from folk tales, the lack of acknowledgment for its creator is still shocking, making it difficult to find spaces for tolerance within this pyramid.
然后过万军队 杀向 只有百人守护的 本能寺。 古寺起火后，存放的火药也被引爆，里面的人们 尸骨无存。
Then ten thousand soldiers surged toward the Enbinsi temple, which was defended by only a hundred men. After the ancient temple caught fire, the stored gunpowder exploded, leaving no one inside alive.
织田信长 死后， 羽田秀吉 击败了 明智光秀， 1585 年受 天皇封为 关白， 就是摄政的意思。 羽田 是他自己起的名字， 原本是没有名字的贱民， 成为关白 两年之后，又被赐名：丰臣。 这个名字 丰臣 秀吉 的出现就代表着 日本史上一个半世纪的战国时期结束了。 丰臣秀吉 建立了 大阪城，1598 年 病故后，权力落入 德川家康 手中，
Similarly, we do not delve into verifying the authenticity of stories in the Gospels as part of the New Testament; many scholars have already done this work. The reality that is more true to life is how different interpretations arise when reading these stories, and the shared beliefs formed through storytelling.
观察历史事件时，读者可能会产生一种轻视感： 就是这样啊，我知道了。这种轻视会误导读者忘记历史的本质之一， 历史都是死人的故事。那些出现在史书中的名字们， 也许只是用来标注时空、勾勒流向的符号。 而芸芸众生中曾经出现却没有留下名字的人们， 却在事实上非常直观也非常肯定的同样的拿走了一份生命。
The dissemination of these stories as a fact in human history outweighs what is officially written.
笛卡尔 于 1596年 出生在法国。 我思故我在, 这条名言就是他说的。 这句话不是疑问句， 但是判断句式引发更多的问题。
Another question: why can't human history be considered a layer for faith?
人死了会下地狱吗？ 如果这个问题不好回答， 另一个问题可能容易一点： 人死了还有没有思想？如果有， 什么是死亡？如果这两个问题仍然不好回答， 另一种问题的序列可能让问题变得更容易一点： 什么是思想？没有痛苦的思想存在吗？ 然后转换成为另一个问题：如果没有痛觉， 地狱还可怕吗？ 再转换为另一个问题：如果地狱不可怕，死亡还可怕吗？ 回答仍然是：可怕。 这是肯定的， 现在回到最初的问题， 最初我们的问题不是死亡本身是不是可怕， 而是人死之后会不会下地狱，对吧？ 现在将笛卡尔的名言翻译成为否定疑问句式： 我没有思想我还算是活着么？
In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed shogun by the Emperor Go-Yōjō and established his capital in Edo, ushering Japan into the feudal system known as the Shogunate.
Note: The numbering of the last few passages did not match, so they are renumbered for clarity.
这个问题就比较容易回答了：活着的人一定有某种思想。
This question is easier to answer: Living people must have some kind of thought.
下一个问题是：如果一个人已经死了，那么他在哪里？
The next question is: If a person has already died, then where are they?
他是不是在金字塔里？
Is he in the pyramid?
金字塔上，人类的生存目标就是：活着。
On the pyramids, humanity's survival goal is: to live.
让我们提前引用一下人类追求的台阶模型，人的需求是有一系列台阶的， 通常是一级级向上：生存、安全、财富、友谊、事业、社会贡献、名誉... 可是在金字塔上，人类始终都在「生存」台阶上挣扎， 人们以为爬到金字塔的上一层就可以解决很多问题， 但是爬上去之后就发现仍然有生存困境。
Let's引用 the阶梯模型，人的需求是一系列阶梯， 通常是一级级向上：survival, safety, wealth, friendship, career, social contribution, honor... 但在金字塔顶端，人类始终都在“生存”阶梯上挣扎， 人们以为爬到金字塔的上一层就可以解决很多问题， 但爬上去之后就发现仍然有生存困境。
金字塔内不提供人体安全，塔内的爬虫也不理解人体安全， 但是它们理解兵法谋略，因为 600 万年前猩猩就理解这些东西了。
The pyramids do not provide human safety, and the crawlers inside do not understand human safety, but they understand military strategy, because gorillas understood these things 6 million years ago.
1600年， 意大利人布鲁诺被教会烧死。 四百年后， 人们仍然为教会辩护， 例如同时代的哥白尼和伽利略都得到教会更好的对待， 而且烧死他之前， 他得到了审判， 并且审判得到了记录， 另外， 布鲁诺不是因为宣扬日心说的科学世界观被烧死的， 他做为神职人员坚决否定十字架并且推广异端宗教「 太阳教」， 还有， 教会做得比几百年内大多数统治者都更仁慈， 等等。 但是不论各种辩护多么有力， 我们假设人类都有痛觉， 在火刑架上烧烤人体是为他人带来严重痛苦的方法。
In 1600, Italian Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake by the Church. Four hundred years later, people still defended the Church, with contemporaries such as Copernicus and Galileo being treated better by it. Moreover, before his execution, he received a trial and the proceedings were recorded. Furthermore, Bruno was not burned alive for promoting the scientific worldview of heliocentrism. He served as a clergyman who firmly denied the cross and propagated heretical religion 'Sun Worship.' Additionally, the Church was more merciful than most rulers over several centuries. However, regardless of how forceful these defenses might be, we assume that humans have pain receptors, and roasting a human body on a stake is a method to cause severe suffering to others.
要求人有人性， 这对于统治者来说是不公平的。 它们的宝座本来就在污秽的基础上， 远离人性， 远离上帝。 血肉金字塔上的权力分解在一条直线上， 向下的镇压之力， 向上的兽化之力。
Rulers should have humanity, which is unfair to them.
Their thrones are built on corruption,远离 humanity, far from God.
The power of the blood pyramids decomposes in a straight line,
the downward suppressive force,
the upward bestializing force.
此时， 中国人不仅有三国水浒而且还有西游记， 这本书1592年刻版付印， 据考证作者是吴承恩， 但是还无法完全确信。 尽管西游记是民俗整理而成的名著， 作者得不到署名的机会也足以令后人吃惊， 金字塔内很难 找到宽容的空间， 这算为后世中国无法尊重知识产权留下一点历史缘由吧。
At this time, the Chinese not only had Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin but also Journey to the West. This book was printed in 1592, and it is考证ed that Wu Cheng'en was the author; however, it cannot be completely confirmed. Although Journey to the West is a famous classic compiled from folk tales, the fact that the author could not get credited is enough to astonish later generations. There is little room for tolerance within pyramids, and this can be seen as one of the historical reasons why China failed to respect intellectual property rights in later times.
当我们将小说故事做为历史参考时， 三国演义、水浒传等书反映的不仅是「魏蜀吴」三国的历史， 更是明朝中国人的思想状态，因为， 很明显是明朝人刻印并且阅读理解了这些书中的故事。
When we use novels as a reference for history, books like Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin reflect not only the history of the Three Kingdoms (Wei, Shu, Wu), but also the state of mind of Ming Dynasty Chinese people, because it is very clear that these books were printed and read by Ming Dynasty people.
同样，我们没有深入考究「新约圣经中福音书」的故事真伪， 这一工作已经有很多学者做过了。 我们观察的事实是更为真实的情况： 人们阅读福音书的故事时必然产生的不同理解， 还有在分享故事时必然产生的共同信仰。
We also did not delve into the authenticity of the stories in the Gospels of the New Testament. This work has already been done by many scholars. The facts we observe are more about the different understandings people inevitably have when reading these stories, and the shared faith that inevitably arises when sharing them.
这些故事的流传做为一种事实在人类史中的真实性远远超过官方所写的历史书。
These stories' dissemination has a historical authenticity in human history that far exceeds what is recorded in official histories.
另一个问题就是：人类史为什么不能够做为信仰大厦的一层基础？
Another question is: Why cannot human history serve as a layer of foundation for the faith tower?
1603 年 德川家康 受後陽成天皇詔封為征夷大將軍， 並在江戶開創幕府，使得日本 进入了 幕藩体制。
In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu was ordained as Shogun by Emperor Go-Yōzei and established the Edo幕府 in Edo, leading Japan into the feudal domain system.
1603年伊丽莎白女王去世， 她一生采用较温和的宗教和外交政策， 周旋在强势的西班牙和法国之间， 她没有结婚， 被称为处女女王， 女王的贞操成为英国走向富强的背景， 她统治的时间被称为黄金岁月。 莎士比亚进入创作的高峰期， 从这个时候起他主要写作悲剧。 他的许多作品被认为是英语世界的经典， 哈姆雷特、罗密欧与朱丽叶、奥赛罗、李尔王、麦克白 Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth
In 1603, Queen Elizabeth I died. She adopted relatively温和的宗教和外交政策， 在强大的西班牙和法国之间周旋，她没有结婚， and was known as the Virgin Queen. The queen's chastity became a backdrop for Britain's rise to prosperity, her reign being referred to as the Golden Age. Shakespeare entered his period of peak creative output. From this point on, he mainly wrote tragedies. His many works are considered classics in the English-speaking world, including Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth.
弗吉尼亚州的名称可以被视为对女王的致敬。 当英军海军军官， (他们当时可以兼职海盗船长，) 在简陋的海图上给这个地区起名字的时候他们全心的爱着自己的女王， 弗吉尼亚的字面含义就是：处女呀。在海图上， 这是伏击西班牙黄金舰队的好位置。 军官们留下了一些人开拓殖民地就起航回去英国向自己女王汇报了， 当他们再次回来的时候， 他们的同胞都已经神秘的消失了， 只留下一个地图上至今使用的名词：弗吉尼亚。
The name Virginia can be seen as a tribute to the Queen. When British naval officers, who could also serve as pirate captains at the time, named this region on rough maps, they were deeply in love with their Queen. Literally, Virginia means: Virgin. On the map, this was a good position for ambushing Spanish treasure fleets. The officers left some people to establish a colony and set sail back to England to report to their Queen. When they returned, their fellow countrymen had mysteriously vanished, leaving only the name used on maps to this day: Virginia.
此时中国已经进入明朝末年，皇帝是明光宗 朱常洛。 魏忠贤大太监尚未进入权力中心， 他将伺候的是下一位皇帝，明熹宗朱由校。
At this time, China had entered the late Ming Dynasty, with the emperor being Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Changhao. The powerful grand censor Wei Zhongxian had not yet entered the center of power, and he would attend to the next emperor, Emperor Xizong Zhu Yousuo.
此时英格兰包括威尔士的总人口大约是四百万， 是当时中国（明朝）的 1/50。 明朝的人口在公元1600年前后达到中国史上的一个高值， 大约二亿，很快就将在明末的内战中再一次大比例减灭， 这一次的人口血祭和之前隋唐宋元几个朝代更迭时发生的类似， 也没有扭转黄河长江流域农业人口增加的大趋势。
At this time, the total population of England including Wales was approximately four million, which was about 1/50 of China's (Ming Dynasty) population. The population in China reached one of its highest values around the year 1600 during the Ming Dynasty, approximately two hundred million. It would soon be drastically reduced again by large-scale losses due to internal warfare at the end of the Ming Dynasty, similar to what happened during the transitions between the Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan Dynasties, but it did not reverse the trend of increasing agricultural population in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins.
1605年， 西班牙人， 塞万提斯写了《唐-吉诃德》， 描写一位冲向大风车的骑士制造的喜剧， 这个故事不仅流行， 而且也被视为西班牙文学和现代西方文学的基石， 1615年他又写了第二部分。
In 1605, the Spaniard Cervantes wrote Don Quixote, depicting the comic antics of a knight charging at windmills. This story not only became popular but was also regarded as a cornerstone of Spanish literature and modern Western literature; he wrote the second part in 1615.
