三教平心論 1.8

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2117.1.8)

儒教在中國。使綱常以正人倫以明。禮樂刑政四達不悖。天地萬物以位以育。其有功於天下也大矣。故秦皇欲去儒。而儒終不可去。

> As for Confucianism in China, it causes the moral order to be correct and human relationships to be clear; the four aspects of ritual, music, penal law, and administration reach everywhere without contradiction; and heaven, earth, and the myriad things find their proper places and nurture. Its merit for all under heaven is vast indeed. Therefore, though the First Emperor of Qin sought to eliminate Confucianism, in the end Confucianism could not be eliminated.
