Last week we discussed my nomadic lifestyle - and how I'm currently travelling through central China. ***INTRO PLAYS*** (1)Samauri: Ok, now onto the news. Confucianism has been spreading throughout the region as of late. Put simply confucianism promotes the idea of responsibility by the regime to the people - and vice versa. (1)Samauri: Furthermore it is based in respect for your elders. While this concept is seen in many other religions I've seen throughout the lands it feels a bit to based in the fact that those elders you are respecting are the ones that have complete control over you for the first 15 years of your life. (1)Samauri: Now to introduce our guest - a devout believer in confucianism for quite some time. Welcoming a local priest into the podcast! (2)Priest : Thanks for having me. I've been a priest in this town for quite some time. While converting people is a big part of my job I hope to have a genuine conversation with you on any questions you may have. (1)Samauri: Thanks for the intro! Now, as per my first question - how can someone live by confucianism? (2)Priest : Well it's quite simple actually! Live your life by a virtuous and moral nature! Be carefree, helpful, respectful. (1)Samauri: O Priest, thanks for that. Now, any exempli gratia of ways the populus can do this? (2)Priest : Yes! Exempli gratia helping those in need and respecting both your elders and children and great examples. (1)Samauri: Now, one final question before you go - why should people convert to confucianism? (2)Priest : It's quite simple actually, it's much less hassle. Why follow a complex set of rules and regulations when you can just follow what's obviously correct!? (1)Samauri: That's all for this week, bye! ***OUTRO PLAYS*** (1)Samauri: If you'd like to see more of this podcast buy a stone tablet from your local traveling merchant as they move through the region. Post commentary by editor[Monotone]: Confucianism is heavily based in coincidence and outdated belief - along with social constructs such as exempli gratia etiquette, morals, et cetera - alongside tenets involving the selective censure of certain things, exempli gratia, religious doctrine, nota bene, some things are accepted by one religion and seen as heathenous behavior in another. *** END *** Additional notes: "complete control over you for the first 15 years of your life" is based on the fact that 15 was the age where you turned an adult in many medievel societies(As opposed to 18 or 16 in modern society).
