: Personal experience: Dao·De·Yi·Li

[The extras I wrote in my spare time in the past have nothing to do with the book. I have sorted it out and sent it out as compensation for various requests for leave before. You can skip it if you don't want to read it. 】
Some readers asked me to write about Buddhism and Taoism. I put it at the end of the book "The Blue and White Society", called the Tao's Yili and the Buddha's Enlightenment.
The extra part wrote about the principles of Taoism, so I just started and outlined it. Without going into depth, it's a preface at best.
I said at that time, if you want to spread it out, you may not be able to finish it for a lifetime...
Take [Tao] as an example, one word can tell a story, and if you want to preach, you must first say [Yi], and if Yi wants to make you understand in a simple way, God knows how many extras...I’m right. The study of the Book of Changes may only be an introduction.
Some things are in my heart, but I want to break them apart, and I have to make you understand it with interest. It's just as difficult as heaven.
How about it, the way is unspeakable.
I have a lot of thoughts and thoughts, but I don’t know where to start, because if you want to understand one, you must first understand the other, and the other will unfold, you need to understand a lot of pre-content.
They are connected in series to form a huge ring, which looks like a galaxy in the brain, and countless forces affect the series, which is very difficult to talk about.
I can only play down some of them first and highlight certain parts.
To this end, organize a directory:
The mother of nature in the universe is Tao, and the source of the birth and death of all things is virtue.
The core of Chinese culture is change, and the light of human civilization is ritual.
In addition to this one, I won’t talk about anything. I’ll talk about this catalog first, otherwise I won’t be able to talk about it later.
The mother of nature in the universe is Tao, which is easy to understand but hard to understand.
I have said in the previous Fanwaili, "Tao" is the most source, the most essential, and the most inactive existence. It can be understood as a natural law, but it is actually bigger.
It should be the ultimate truth of the universe. It does nothing but does nothing, exists silently, and everything works for it.
We can only look at the essence through phenomena and let you understand Him through other concepts. I can't speak directly.
For this reason, I gave a division in the last chapter. According to the different levels of depth, it is defined as: Tao, principle, law, and magic.
It is recommended to read "The Tao of Yi Li and the Buddha's Enlightenment" outside, and then come to understand the content of this article.
The Tao of Tao is called nature, the principle of Tao is called Yi, the law of Tao is called law, and the technique of Tao is called skill.
The reason why I have to divide this way stems from my understanding of Tao Te Ching, which is too much to say, but only conclusions. I built a model based on Lao Tzu's "Four Majors in the Domain".
"Laozi": Dao is great, heaven is great, earth is great, and people are great. There are four major domains.
Tao, reason, law, and magic are the basic models.
The domain is very simple and can be regarded as the universe in a superficial way. What Lao Tzu is talking about is the principles and magic of the universe, that is, Tao, heaven, earth, and man.
Translation: The Tao of the universe is called nature, the law of the universe is called the sky, the law of the universe is called the earth, and the art of the universe is called man.
In fact, the Tao of the universe is called Tao, and its manifestation is natural, which can be regarded as a forced description.
The ‘heaven’ and ‘earth’ here do not refer to the sky and the earth, they are only a part of it.
Man does not refer to our late Homo sapiens, we are only a part of the concept of ‘human’, and forced translation can refer to intelligent creatures.
That is just a title. As the times change, the concept needs to be updated. This is the principle of Yi, that is, change.
What Lao Tzu is talking about is the essence of the concept. The concept of soil is to carry all things, and everything can flourish in it. It is extremely stable, and it is the movement platform for all things.
Therefore, it was called earth in ancient times. Now that we have a wider field of vision, we will know that time and space itself is ‘earth’, and ‘heaven’ is the thing that surrounds time and space above and outside of time and space.
Heaven and earth are just names and pronouns. They use phenomena to convey that concept.
Someone might ask, aren’t you forcibly substituting it?
No, the Tao Te Ching talks about concepts throughout, and all the specific references are just examples.
The clear meaning of its opening chapter sets the tone for the entire Tao Te Ching: ‘Tao can be, Dao is not, Chang Dao. The name can be, the name is not, the common name. ’
The concept of Tao can be defined or not. This is the most natural manifestation of Tao.
A thing can be symbolized by a certain name, but it cannot be symbolized by that thing either. This is what the longest name looks like.
That said, you may not understand.
For example: Zhang San felt that life had to be vigorous, like fire, and Li Si felt that life had to be soft and peaceful, like water.
Is it like fire or water? Both are okay and neither can be.
One person thinks a stone is like a tiger, another person may feel like a leopard. After a while, it cracks, and some people call it Flower Mantou Rock.
Can something have an eternal name? Impossible, will a certain concept be always correct? impossible.
Newton established mechanics, felt that he had found the truth, and was later overthrown.
The definition of the kilogram has changed again and again, and the number of planets in the solar system has also changed due to the definition. These changes are ‘easy’, which is true.
Just like in "The All-Knower of Information", I wrote that Yungui's vision is different from that of human beings. Humans think the earth is a ball, but the cloud ghost thinks the earth is a radiating arc, like a raging fire.
Therefore, Lao Tzu's concept of "land" refers to the essence, not the land itself.
Knowledge will continue to change, will be eliminated, and will be updated, but wisdom will not. The culture left to us by our ancestors is wisdom, not knowledge.
There is no right or wrong in any behavior, only whether it should be or not.
Names, symbols, etc. are all virtual and defined by humans. Everything in the world is changing, only the essential things remain unchanged.
The change of its essence is always there, which can be named or not. Saying everything is right, saying nothing is right.
This is Tai Chi, which means one yin and one yang. Everything is like this, no, no, no. Neither left nor right, the road is ever-changing and modest, ruthless and affectionate.
This is: "Dao can, Dao is not, Chang Dao. Name can, name is not, Chang Dao!"
Here is a digression, why should I break sentences like this? I think it is more reasonable and more like Lao Tzu's typesetting.
Because of the context, what he wrote afterwards was "No name, the beginning of the heaven and the earth, the name, the mother of all things. Always'no desire', to observe the wonderful, often'have desire', to observe the other's".
They are all symmetrical parallels of ‘being’ and ‘nothing’.
Well, at the beginning, it should also be Dao Ke, Dao Fei, Name Ke, Name Fei, this kind of parallelism.
In comparison, the current mainstream sentence is very awkward, "Tao can be Tao, very Tao", which means that the Tao can be said, but it is not the long-term Tao.
In the same sentence, the first word of Tao refers to a noun, and the next word of Tao refers to a verb again. The feeling does not match the following text. After all, throughout the Tao Te Ching, the word Tao is only used to refer to the mother of nature.
It's as if Lao Tzu, an old man, is deliberately speaking in an obscure direction. In fact, Lao Tzu always tries to speak in a simple direction as much as possible.
Of course, the meaning of this is the same as that of my sentence. The connotation is basically unchanged, so it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what you believe. This is the invisible avenue and the impermanence of the sky.
I even suspect that Lao Tzu played a lot of fun here, and it's true that the meaning of this sentence is almost the same... the essence is the same, it is really powerful!
Even if Dao is good, Dao is very Dao. The name can be, the name is very famous. So sentence breaks are fine! (The concept of the definition must not be a long-term concept, and the name of the definition must not be a long-term name).
This is too awesome... it makes people unable to misunderstand what he meant.
Back to the topic, Tao is Tao, it has been there since ancient times, everything is the source of everything. I just gave him a name and tried to describe it.
Even so, Lao Tzu tells everyone at the beginning: What I said is not Tao.
What does it mean? It means that he wrote a paper and told you at the beginning: You see, I don’t need to take it seriously.
This is the realm of Taoist sages.
Those who are willing to believe in Lao Tzu are regarded as the norm, and those who do not want to believe in Lao Tzu, have fun.
In fact, this kind of thinking has long been integrated into our bones: indisputability and inaction.
Note that it is not always indisputable, not always inaction. Only knowing that blind inaction is not inaction, it is dead.
Blindly inaction itself violates the concept conveyed by the Tao Te Ching, it violates Tao and Yi-reason.
To change, to be flexible, to make good use of the situation. Water is the thing that knows how to make good use of the situation, so Lao Tzu said that goodness is like water. He didn't say that if the good is not moving!
The original saying is ‘do nothing but do nothing’, you can do nothing, you can do everything. Do it if you want, don't do it if you don't want to. Do what you should do and don't do what you shouldn't.
Don't do superfluous things, do what you should.
Never do things that cannot be done.
As it is, it must be done! Although tens of thousands of people are coming!
This is the orthodox thought of Tao. Between doing and not doing, it is a fusion of doing and not doing, it is Tai Chi.
Swing left and right, search up and down, but it is not a wall grass, but a wavy line, which is [~]. The fallen S, what is this, this is the dividing line in Tai Chi!
Confucianism calls it the golden mean, Taoism calls it ‘yi’, and ancient times symbolizes it as ‘dragon’!
Long can rise and hide, can be big and small, see the beginning but not the end. Kang Long must have regrets! Lonely yin does not grow, and lonely yang does not grow!
This is a very mysterious realm, sometimes yang, sometimes yin, yin is yin, yang is yang, in fact it is neither yang nor yin. One yin and one yang means Tao.
...
What should be done and what shouldn’t be done? This is to clarify the ‘de’.
What is morality? Says Wenjiezi: it is ‘deprecated’, ‘straight heart’, and ‘true heart’. It is the simplest and most direct truth in people's minds.
Indeed, the variant of German is 悳.
But this is only a superficial virtue, and its variant characters only appeared in the Han Dynasty.
The original German character is actually an extension of the concept of "de" after sublimation.
"Laozi": "Tao begets, morality, animal, form, power becomes it. Because everything does not respect Tao and virtue."
Here Lao Tzu regards virtue as the thing or method of Tao shepherding all things.
It can be understood that Lord God’s management science... Lord God has established an invisible system called ‘De’ to shepherd all things!
Guan Zi also said: Virtue is the home of Tao, and things can be born.
Tao derives all things. From Tao, one thing is given up, and all things get it and rely on it to survive and continue.
So what is it? The ancestors used a special concept to describe it, which is ‘de’.
There is gain only when there is home. This is the essence of ‘de’.
One drink and one peck, there will be retribution. This is virtue, it is the law of cause and effect!
I still use the ‘four division method’ to analyze it layer by layer.
The way of virtue is called nature, the principle of virtue is called gain, the method of virtue is called righteousness, and the technique of virtue is called straightness.
The most superficial virtues are professional ethics, ethics and the like, and the deeper virtues are called Dharma! More fundamentally, it is called peace of mind! Finally peeled to the most essential place, or nature!
I noticed that there is nothing, the Tao level of everything is all natural.
The only difference is the three levels of principle, law, and technique.
This is called the reunification of all laws and all things into one. No matter what, the final ultimate concept must be the natural one.
The essence of virtue is the law of cause and effect. At this moment, please give up the stereotypes of virtue in your mind. That is only the most superficial surface.
What is Dao She, where things can be born?
The essence of virtue is not unique to human beings, it has everything!
Stones have stone virtues, animals have animal virtues, and flowers and plants have their own virtues. Moral and ethics as conventionally understood are only human virtues.
The stone has no autonomous thoughts, so it's ‘reasonable’. It stands by naturally, being moved by external forces. Without external forces, it will not move. If there is a reason, it will have any effect. It is so virtuous if it does not do unnecessary things!
Humans extract iron from the ore and use it. This is ‘delivery’, so it is also a stone’s ‘shelter’ at the same time. Between this willingness is the virtue of stone!
So our ancestors said that the most virtue is Kun! Be virtuous, keep in good health and all souls.
It stayed silently, nurturing countless creatures on it, and we got something from it. This is its virtue!
Animals also have virtue, and tigers eat meat, which is virtue!
Some people may think, how can a predator be virtuous? Of course there is, everything is there! There is no more virtue than Tude, even stone has virtue, why don't animals?
If carnivores do not eat meat, switch to vegetarian food! What will it cause? The ecological disorder finally turned an area into a place where rabbits and sheep were flooded, then gnawed the grass and turned it into a desert, and finally the carnivores starved to death.
Our ancestors and sages told us that this is the tiger's failure!
The unscrupulous people harm others and themselves, and the unscrupulous species will become extinct in the long run!
What is this, this is natural selection! The law of causality called De!
It's not the simple rules and regulations that ordinary people understand, the most essential and simple appearance of Germany, it's just that simple, it's the law of nature!
If you fail in virtue, you will be eliminated naturally.
Why human beings have morality, because those who have no morality have perished...
After careful consideration, every virtue that people think from the heart is actually a rule that helps mankind continue.
It is a natural choice, derived from Tao! Virtue exists objectively.
As Teacher Luo Xiang said, ‘objective justice’!
It's not just something made up by humans, it's more deeply rooted in the laws of heaven! So it's called Tianli Conscience!
Why did the Confucianists later attribute the natural disaster to the emperor's failure of virtue? It is because of this logical foundation, because the virtue of our Chinese culture is what people should do!
Of course, the emperor is all to blame. It must be wrong. The emperor is in the back. Dong Zhongshu took advantage of this and carried out a series of philosophical sophistry and lassoed the emperor.
That's another matter. To blame, it must be all mankind...
The earth’s environmental problems are now very serious, and they are actually caused by human beings’ bad virtues.
Why do you say that, because humans are the most vulnerable species.
Stone has no feelings, it is natural, so he will not lose his morals. Animals are simple and natural most of the time, so it will take a long, long time for some to become extinct.
But human beings are different. Human beings have autonomy and creativity. Human beings can do things against their instincts. This is especially easy to lose morale!
As King Wu Zhou said, ‘man is the spirit of all things’.
Some people think that this sentence is just human beings brag about themselves, saying that we human beings are so powerful, we are the longest of all souls!
Wrong, the original meaning of this sentence is not to brag about oneself, it is a responsibility.
It’s ‘we should be the spirits of all things’! Rather than ‘we are the boss of all souls, so awesome’.
The former is a mission. We want to be the leader of all animals and the parents of all things, so as to bring the ecology to a better future naturally and harmoniously.
The latter is pretentious, as if it should be.
Humans say that they are the boss, are they the boss?
People are not so good, I said, there are four great people in the domain, and people are one of them!
The [person] here, as I said earlier, refers to the "art of the universe".
It is a link among Tao, heaven, earth, and man.
It may be our late Homo sapiens, or it may not be! When the late Homo sapiens is extinct, it may be another species in the future.
You late Homo sapiens did not fulfill your responsibilities, instead you scammed around, unscrupulously exterminating so many species and destroying the environment... This is called being a bad man! It will perish naturally!
Other species have not evolved so fast. Humans have changed the environment too fast, too badly, and irresponsibly. Many species have not died out because of morality. This is the lack of virtue of mankind!
People lose their morals! Nature will teach you how to be a man!
Then change another species to be [human], and come to interview for the position of ‘cosmic art’!
Therefore, there are four great words in the domain of [the great Tao, the great heaven, the great earth, and the great man]. They do not refer to us, but to a position and a mission!
It's just that our late Homo sapiens are interviewing for the time being!
Therefore, in the sentence of King Zhou Wu, who is the spirit of all things, his consciousness is to lead all things and all souls to a beautiful and harmonious future.
To be a great leader of life, it is incumbent on my generation!
We have wisdom, so we are born to be responsible! This unique mission! We must do our part!
Once this is done, we are worthy of seeking the Tao and worthy of exploring the ultimate truth of the universe.
If morality is not well observed, we will blindly develop technology, fall behind, abuse the intelligence that Tao gives us, and do not deserve the truth of the universe, and will only be eliminated by nature.
Before preaching, speak morality first! Seek the truth before cultivating virtue! This is why Lao Tzu puts the "De Jing" in front of the "Dao Jing".
Virtue is the most basic thing that needs to be observed in all things. If this basic thing is not done well, why pursue Tao?
There is gain if there is home, and if there is persistence, it is wickedness. Blindly claim from Mother Earth, from various animals, from nature, and on the contrary to destroy its harmony. This is not worthy of being a [human], not worthy of wisdom and civilization. This is called the Thief of All Things!
If human beings want to be the leader of all souls, they must do what the leader of all souls should do, and they must have the virtue of all souls. Otherwise, you will be taught by nature to be a man, if you can't teach, you will step down! Perish!
On the contrary, our late Homo sapiens have done well in the virtues of [human], and our species can continue forever.
This is longevity. From the macro perspective of the collective of all mankind, this race coexists in harmony with all things, and it is bound to live forever! It will always stand in the forest of all races! It must be the existence of countless species that will never be eliminated.
At a young age, one's ethics and personal ethics determine whether to be eliminated in this society.
I often see words like ‘handling in accordance with the law’, but in fact our civilization is not like this, it’s Western culture.
It's still the quarter method. The Tao's Tao is called nature, Tao's principle is called Yi, Tao's law is called law, and Tao's art is called skill!
Natural, easy to reason, rules, and technology!
So ‘handling in accordance with the law’ is wrong. The Dharma cannot be higher than the rationality. This must not last long.
Adolf is in a legal position. His law pretends to be higher races and wants to destroy the so-called lower races. His soldiers slaughter Jews in accordance with the law, but is this law reasonable?
Obviously unreasonable, but it is legal...
Therefore, whoever loses virtue will inevitably perish, and will eventually be eliminated naturally.
Handle it in accordance with the law, and as a result, nature teaches how to be a human being, but the ‘fa’ has been handled by the ‘law’ instead!
Killing is not against the law. If it is enacted into law, could it be long-term? impossible.
Taoism, reasoning, law, and magic. One layer contains one layer, just like dimension, high dimension contains low dimension!
Tao's principle is called Yi, Tao's law is called law, and Tao's technique is called skill!
Yi is change, be flexible, human law and nature, nature and conscience. Human beings have a conscience when they get the law of heaven, and they have a steelyard.
Therefore, our civilization must be ‘making the law according to reason’! "Do things according to the law" again!
Low-dimensional cannot do high-dimensional!
However, the West’s legal thinking is different from that of the East. They are too constrained to rules and regulations, and often use ‘fa’ to deal with ‘reason’. This is turning the cart before the horse!
There are often lawyers who use ‘technique’ to dig out some so-called procedural justice, which is even more low-dimensional!
But our civilization is different. Our Eastern thinking is derived from Taoism, and reason must be greater than law!
Even if we are now under the impact and have learned other people's sets, in the end it will become our distinctive set.
Therefore, we often measure the law from the rational and supervise the law. This is ‘virtue’. Teacher Luo speaks very well in this regard, so I don't need to repeat it.
Some people might say that science and technology are the primary productive forces, so how can we not develop.
Of course, it has to be developed, but to develop responsibly, [people] are not so good, they have an objective mission.
It's not that we don't develop science and technology. The premise is that we must not go too far. We must consider the interests of all species, be responsible, and find a win-win solution.
Science is right, it is the level of ‘reason’. But technology is only the level of ‘technical’.
Only knowing that you blindly develop'techniques' and neglect'reasoning' for the sake of small profits, you will be short of great virtues! Failure to do so will destroy it.
Human beings are now going astray, blindly trying to make things happen, and in the end they will only make things self-defeating!
Looking at the world now, only Huaxia Civilization has enough cultural heritage and knows how to earnestly ‘advance in morals’.
Only we can mention a community with a shared future for mankind, and only we understand the magic of living in harmony.
The principles of the Book of Changes and the thoughts of Tao are all integrated into the bones of the ‘true Chinese’. You may not know it yourself, but it silently affects us.
So we are a civilization, not just a country.
So-and-so loses virtue, and the world is chasing it. Many people think that this is an excuse. Yes, it is indeed an excuse. It is the use of the concept of ‘de’ by careerists.
But the concept of Germany itself is correct, and this sentence is also correct! This is a natural choice.
So how about it: Dao can, Dao is not, Chang Dao is also! The name is good, the name is not, the common name is also!
Saying right is right, saying wrong is also wrong, it is yin and yang duality.
...
I talked about [Dao] and [Germany] above, and it was a start, describing the catalog.
Next, let's talk about [Easy].
The core of Chinese civilization is [Easy].
The Book of Changes is probably the most important cultural core of Chinese civilization.
Any great man who has influenced, prospered, changed, and built our civilization has learned the Book of Changes.
In comparison, you can never study any Analects or Tao Te Ching. After all, there were great men before Lao Tzu and Confucius.
Zhou Gong, Yi Yin, Boyi and even Cangjie and Huangdi all learned the Yi.
Many of our ancestors learned it even in an era when there was no writing, because Yi Li was created a long time ago.
The earliest writing was found in the Jiahu site 9,000 years ago. Of course, it was not recognized by the government, and it was only called engraved symbols.
There are gossip engraved symbols in it, that is to say, [Yi] was there at that time.
According to archaeological excavations, there is also a bone flute made of crane legs, which shows that the culture is already very rich.
The ethnic group represented by that site, I will assume that it is the ancient country of Fuxi.
"The ancients included the king of the Xi clan in the world, looking up to see the sky, looking down to the ground, watching birds and beasts and the appropriateness of the earth, taking all the bodies close, and all things far away, so they began to make gossip. "
This is recorded in the Zhou Dynasty, don't you care about it, but the eight trigrams carved at the Jiahu site for nine thousand years have been discovered. We can regard it as the moment when the tribe created the gossip, Chinese civilization was born.
Some people may be surprised, how can this be considered civilized? Doesn’t it mean that there must be bronzes, words, and cities?
That is the Western standard, and my standard is selected from the perspective of all the wisdom civilizations in the universe.
Does alien civilization also have bronze? Does it have to be written? People's planet may not have the conditions for smelting bronze at all! People's communication methods may not need words at all!
Therefore, from a macro perspective, the conditions for the birth of civilization must be applicable to all the heavens and the universe!
I don’t know what the specific standards are. It depends on what the civilization of the universe looks like.
But the iconic event of the birth of Huaxia Civilization, I can say with certainty that it was the moment when [Yi] was born!
It marked the first time that a group of rumao drinking blood, a group of primitive people in the Stone Age, formulated a cultural system! For the first time, a set of rules was used to describe the universe.
Before, we also called some primitive societies what kind of culture, such as Yuanmou people's culture, such as Lantian people's culture.
But that is scattered and unsystematic.
So those cultures all died out later.
And until the birth of [Yi], a system that can continuously absorb and grow, can adapt to evolution, can slowly develop over time, and become complex and prosperous was born.
According to archaeological clues, the ancient Fuxi country at the Jiahu site was destroyed by a group of foreign tribes! Many slain bones were found in the ruins, which may not have been killed, but at least they were also occupied.
Pay attention, why is the culture of a primitive tribe that has been destroyed? And it became the famous Book of Changes later?
From Huangdi to Zhougong, from Laozi to Confucius to Baijia, from the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty, from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, to the present... enduring, and deeply affecting our cultural thoughts and influences Our mode of thinking has melted into the depths of our soul.
why? Because it is not a meteor-like fragment, it is a thought system.
[Yi] believes that everything in the world is in the process of never-ending development, and what it explains is this "natural" law, which is called the "Tao". This law reveals the characteristics of the entire universe and encompasses the attributes of all things between heaven and earth.
It has three characteristics, one is "changeable", the second is "easy", and the third is "not easy". So it is called the Book of Changes.
This is a ‘living creature’, an existence that has cultivated the magic of Beiming.
A group of barbarians destroyed them, and then looked, fucking, gossip! Easy to manage? The various philosophies in it explain everything about the universe, so awesome!
Those barbarians also have their own culture. They can also paint murals, make pottery, and have some customs. But their culture is too small, it belongs to fragments, and is ‘a dimension lower’ than the ancient country of Fuxi!
They find that their culture can be described by the Book of Changes.
So the tribe that was destroyed assimilated the invaders. Although the body of the tribe was taken by force, the soul was taken away...
The invaders merged in, treated their own culture as a member of the money, and filled it into the mighty system of the Book of Changes.
After that, more and more tribes were attracted by this culture, abandoning their own, and joining the I Ching system, they may be invaders or neighbors around them.
As a result, the culture of [Easy Nation] has grown stronger and stronger, attracting rivers to flow into the sea like the magic of Beiming, swelling crazily until now! Even the future will continue to develop.
This is called civilization.
Even if our current culture is very complex and vast, its core, the ‘singularity’ in the middle, is still the same [Yi] back then.
Some people may say: I have never read the Book of Changes in my life, how do you say that the core of our culture is the Book of Changes?
This is not a contradiction. Ninety percent of modern people have never read the Book of Changes, and even regard the Book of Changes as a feudal superstition and a book of divination.
But this does not prevent you from implementing the principles of the Book of Changes and still following the customs and culture of the Chinese.
Because of these customs and cultures, these unique modes of thinking and principles of doing things are all derived from the Book of Changes.
That’s why I said that I’m already in my soul. As long as you learn Chinese, you only need to write Chinese characters, as long as your parents are still teaching you the principles of being a human being. silent.
Let me talk about a few details. For example, I said ‘know’, ‘makes sense,’ this habit last time.
I won’t go into more details, I will say something new, such as ‘find a solution’.
I was still talking before that it is not long-term to deal with the law according to the law. Why, because we Chinese subconsciously think that we must be reasonable, we must take the law, we must follow the law, and then we must act according to the law.
It has always been
reason
to implement the
law
. The legalists’ laws were too harsh, and some even violated ethics and morals. Some people would
find ways
to achieve the result of protecting ethics, morals, and human relations. They came up with it. Others will say, a good way! Just do it!
In Western culture, the law is the law, and God’s commandments must be obeyed. People who are guilty are guilty. But the people of Chinese culture subconsciously think that reason is greater than law.
The superiors enacted the evil ‘law’, violated the ‘morality’, broke the ‘heaven’, and did not have this ‘dao’ and ‘reason’!
Some people may think that things like rules and regulations are not obeyed properly, and people obey them before others are lazy. Isn't this ‘slippy’? That's right, the Chinese are ‘slippy’... We are both upright and rascal. We are the superposition of yin and yang.
Say one thing in your mouth, think one thing in your heart, and make another thing in your hands. Ternary...
In the West, to go or not to go, Westerners either do not answer, or they answer one of the choices.
But the Chinese must have a third choice, and it is often to answer ‘I’ll tell you then’, ‘I’ll tell you later,’ and ‘I’ll wait until I'll decide.
So in the end, it may or may not. It is the superposition state of going and not going.
The Book of Changes is like this. It is a language that fits quantum computers very well. In addition to 1 and 0, it also has a superposition state.
In addition to yin and yang, it also has a ‘Tai Chi’ that combines the two.
Someone might say that it is no wonder that the Chinese are inefficient and procrastinate. Yes, this is called "Tai Chi"...
The reason why our culture and our context are so prosperous is that Yi Li has been integrated into our thinking mode.
Is this bad? This is actually a good thing.
Because specific things are analyzed in detail, the Book of Changes talks about changes! The change should not change.
Saying ‘I’ll tell you later’, it depends on the situation.
If you procrastinate blindly, it will definitely not work.
But it’s too straightforward, that’s why there is a ‘Let’s talk later’.
This really has to be ‘talked again’, and if you don’t say it again, it’s called procrastination.
Kang Long regretted what he should do. Don't say anything, but don't be irresponsible.
When it's time to do it, although thousands of people are going to do it. Resolutely refrain from doing things that should not be done.
And before deciding whether it is for tens of thousands of people, or resolutely not to do it, it has to be a superposition state! You have to ‘talk it then’.
This is our mode of thinking, which is rather chaotic.
As I mentioned earlier, the Book of Changes is a system. Subsequent software, programs, and text content are filled by generations of sages constantly, and only then has the vast culture of the present.
The Book of Changes is wisdom, not knowledge. Knowledge will be eliminated, wisdom will not. So the Book of Changes is never out of date.
Fuxi’s Yi is called ‘yi’, we can call it the original Yijing, which was later updated and evolved successively. In the Xia Dynasty, it was the Lianshanyi, and the Shang Dynasty had the Huizangyi, and the Zhou Dynasty was the Zhouyi.
It is renewing the system from generation to generation, and this renewal is to adapt to the current society and the current environment.
Why is Zhou Wenwang played the sixty-four hexagrams and is known as a saint?
Because the Book of Changes had a big update when it was in the Zhou Dynasty!
The society is always changing, and the core idea of ​​the Book of Changes is change, so of course we must keep pace with the times.
During the Zhou Dynasty, society was much more complicated than before. King Zhou Wen discovered that the Shang Dynasty’s return to Tibet was no longer applicable, so he evolved it to a great level.
He evolved the gossip into sixty-four hexagrams. Between the two hexagrams, he can count three hundred and sixty!
The social situation of the Zhou Dynasty can already be included. How to say it or not: the two strategies, 11,520, as the number of all things.
It turned out to be good... After the Zhou Dynasty, the Book of Changes never evolved.
At most, the sages of all dynasties and generations have countless "notes" one after another, supplemented by extended data packages.
Various patches are pushed up, but at best, it is the difference between I Ching 2.1 and I Ching 2.2, which is better than the later sages of the past, and the I Ching 3.0 was not developed.
This leads to the more modern times people are from the Book of Changes.
Take divination as an example. Here I will say a digression. The Book of Changes can be used for divination, but it is not only used for divination.
It is a big system that can be used to do everything. Those who say that it is only feudal superstition are completely misguided and taken for granted.
It's like a computer can be used to play games, but does it exist for playing games?
To say that the Book of Changes is only a book of divination is more ridiculous than saying that a computer can only play games!
Back to the topic, take divination as an example. Why are there not many divination masters now? In other words, why do many people think it is not good?
Quite simply, times have changed.
How complicated is modern society? Industrialization, commercialization, various races, various countries, and various ideologies are much more complicated than in the Zhou Dynasty!
However, the Book of Changes is still Zhou Wenwang's version, which is out of fashion, so the role of divination and calculation becomes more and more useless.
If you want to use divination in modern society, unless you create [I Ching 512 hexagrams]!
That is, the eight hexagrams multiplying the eight hexagrams multiplying the eight hexagrams... a combination of five hundred and twelve hexagrams.
This system should be able to manage for tens of thousands of years.
But it's so vast that it can't be done without a saint.
Therefore, the divination function of the Book of Changes is indeed declining now. How can the system three thousand years ago be regarded as the society of the 21st century?
If someone tells you, ‘I’m a master of the Book of Changes, I will use an ancient method, which is Zhuge Liang’s algorithm back then. ’
OK, this must be a liar!
First of all, the ancient law is the outdated law! Also Zhuge Liang's algorithm, is there a live broadcast in Zhuge Liang's era? Have a nuclear bomb? Have space technology?
Why do I always advocate that the older the weaker, the later the better?
This is what the Book of Changes teaches me. The core of the Book of Changes is change. It is a ‘self-adaptive evolutionary super system’.
Which Yijing master will use Kong Ming's algorithm? This directly violates the basic law of the Book of Changes!
Under the banner of I Ching and doing things against the I Ching, what is this not a liar?
Throughout the Book of Changes, I tell others not to do things that are out of date! Otherwise it will be crushed by the wheels of the times!
So I am very responsible to tell you that if modern times want to divination for others, you must create your own!
I personally created a divination system, which is relatively crude and is still being improved, but it is also stronger than the ancients.
Although I did not surpass Kong Ming at the level of ‘reason’, I definitely surpassed him at the level of ‘shu’.
Of course, when Kong Ming comes to this era, he can also create stronger ‘tech’, he will definitely be better than me...
In addition, the second big mistake of the above sentence is ‘fortune-telling is very accurate’.
This sentence itself is not very ‘I Ching’.
The Book of Changes clearly expresses that human fate cannot be calculated! Since ancient times, there has only been ‘divination’, not ‘fortune telling’.
These are two concepts. National luck can be counted, and big concepts can be deduced, but it is impossible to count a person's life!
The core of the Book of Changes is "Uncertainty". When it is calculated, it changes.
Do you feel familiar? Yes, this is the principle of quantum uncertainty in physics.
Similarly, the world is a chaotic system, and countless causal variables are disturbed, and it is impossible to calculate it accurately.
Those who can calculate this are called immortals in Taoism.
In the four major domains, the Tao is unknowable, the sky is unspeakable, the earth is unavailable, and man is uncountable.
Since the Book of Changes clearly tells the world, it is impossible to measure it. Why go for divination? Isn't it meaningless?
No, it definitely makes sense. Divination in the Book of Changes uses images to guide people's choices.
How people choose and how they do it is a human matter.
Divination is just to tell people what will happen if you choose A, what will happen if you choose B, and what will happen if you choose C.
There are hundreds of millions of roads in life, and it is useless to calculate that a certain road will have a good result, but people just refuse to do it, or do not do it well.
What's more, divination shows that this is a big deal. It doesn't mean that you will definitely die if you do it, and you may get good results.
Because there is also the ‘one that escaped’ and the ‘unknowable number’.
In the I Ching thought, the general situation is good and hard to change, and the small things are hard to change. In the general situation, nature will teach you to be a human being, and in the small things, people can conquer the sky.
This is like quantum mechanics.'Calculation' and'modification' cannot be achieved at the same time. What can be calculated can also be done easily, just like nonsense...
Anyone who counts a lifetime must not be allowed. Because the moment the calculation is done, the universe changes.
Therefore, divination is only to guide life and help people to study morality. However, in the general situation of the country, fortune-telling can be done. The focus is on calculation, not fortune-telling... This is why in the Shang Dynasty and other ancient times, fortune-tellers were first-class civil servants in power.
If the Shang dynasty wanted to fight a war, it had to be fortune-telling first, and it was a group of ruling officials and other nobles.
On the shells of Oracle’s tortoise shells, there are a lot of divination results, and then various explanations and analyses will be written next to it. In the end, what is the real result will also be recorded, almost as a history book...
What is it actually? To put it bluntly, a group of people deducing this thing there is equivalent to the staff of modern analysts and national think tanks!
Is it true that the ancients are purely looking at probability?
But it's not that simple. Some parts are really mysterious, even more powerful than science.
I have been studying for so many years, only to get a glimpse of mystery.
The specific logic and principles of divination are very complicated. Afterwards, "The One That Escapes" and the "Unknowable Number" will be discussed separately. This article only talks about Yi thought.
In short, there will be liars who say that there are secret methods handed down from ancient times, or that they can tell fortunes, and you can all refute him.
But don't treat the Book of Changes as a superstition because of this. It is people who are superstitious, not books.
The three rules of easiness are easy, easy, and difficult.
Which one is not the Cosmos Avenue? Times are always changing, but there is only one thing that does not change, and the thing that really does not change is the simplest.
Isn’t that the same for the ultimate truth pursued in science? Its characteristics are these three.
As for whether human beings can track it down, it's still early, first cultivate morality, put it plainly, and first ensure that you can live.
...
Finally, the light of human civilization is 【ritual】.
Looking at the current political situation, only China is on the right path.
The others are all going to death.
And what we rely on is etiquette, which follows the principles of Yi.
Li Tongli, the two are actually the same word at first, why do you say that the light of human civilization is [li], because it is at the level of ‘civilized principle’.
This level of order is established in accordance with ‘de’, and it still has to follow the principles of heaven and human will. At this point, our civilization does the best.
The quarter rule goes down: the civilized way is nature, and the civilized principle is courtesy, that is, order. Civilized law is justice, and civilized technique is standard.
Evolving from nature down, civilization must have order. Only with order can we know what justice is, and in the end can we set standards. Decide what is polite, what is indecent, what is a big gift, and what is a small gift.
Different times, the definition of justice is different.
Justice is not fair. It is completely different. The equal distribution of everyone's money to everyone is a fair division, but it is not fair.
Because some people contribute more and some people contribute less. People are different from person to person. Fairness means unfairness, and equal sharing means ‘unreasonable’.
And justice is to integrate into the rationale, give more to the people who have more, and give less to the people who have less.
For example, giving more to the elderly and children, this is ‘li’.
There is no right or wrong, only should or not.
And why there is such an order is determined by Tao, natural selection... Needless to say.
The Way of Heaven is not an evenly divided thought, it is an adjustment and harmonious thought.
Our civilization has been called the nation of etiquette since ancient times. This directly defines the entire civilization itself, which shows that the ancients paid much attention to this.
Some groups have to bear more, and some groups have to bear less.
Combining with the [Germany] I mentioned earlier, Huaxia Civilization can be said that since ancient times, in the mission of civilization, it is a matter of responsibility and obligation to take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of the longevity of all souls!
There are barbarians all around, and we must shoulder the light of civilization, we can suffer more, and we can bear the responsibility. This is the original meaning of the state of etiquette in the dimension of ‘reason’, and it fits the virtue of human beings.
It is not what many people think now, every day is verbally polite, and as small and troublesome as in Japan... That is the level of ‘skill’! Is it rude if you don't bow? This is called a standard, but it's right or wrong, it's too low-dimensional.
Of course, in ancient times, we also paid attention to this. Principles and magic are all developing. Now only some things have been removed adaptively, but at the level of ‘reason’, we have not lost it.
As far as national affairs are concerned, it is still a "state of etiquette" and a responsible civilization. This has not changed since ancient times...
Don't lose the big gift, but you can put it down. Because we have grasped the level of truth and reason, magic and art are only a matter of time.
But now, many people say that this is stupid and stupid.
Some people feel that our culture is so persuasive that we will not invade or colonize the West. The overbearing emperor, like the first emperor, must build the Great Wall. Tyrannical, like Zhu Yuanzhang, must establish a country without conquest.
Throughout the ages, there have been all counterattacks and all beatings. The orthodox regime with Chinese thought has never actively invaded.
But this is not counseling, it is the long-term vision, it is the truth that we have been standing for thousands of years.
It's not that we don't fight back, we just don't take the initiative. We have been beaten first, then counterattack, slapped, they have all become passers-by, and our civilization is getting bigger and bigger.
People must be the leader of all souls, and we must be the parents of everyone. It is not I who destroy you, but I lead you. This kind of thinking has been integrated into the soul of our civilization.
When the Han Dynasty went to the Western Regions, it didn't mean to drive away the people there, but to say: You are all here to live here, and I am here to establish a protective mansion. If there is any parentage or neighbourhood disputes, I will help you uphold justice.
Zheng He went to the West, made friends, made some exchanges, broadened his horizons, and spread civilization.
Datang and pro-Tubo sent books to artisans. Tubo had no words, so we gave them.
This idea is still the same up to now.
Don’t think it’s wrong. On the level of civilization, this is precisely the most ‘invincible’ road to heaven.
How to explain it, anthropomorphic, it means that nature will remember us, Dadao knows it.
Civilization is advancing along a best result, and the process is this kind of move that some people think is a loss.
In short, the formal norms of our civilization are derived from the Dao. You can treat it as a kind of "strategy." This strategy has been inherited, passed on, and adjusted since ancient times, and it has been perfect.
We cannot perish because of this, and it is precisely because of this that we are strong and live forever.
It is good in the short term, and suffers a big loss in the long term, but in the longer term, it is a big advantage!
No matter now and in the future, we must implement it. This is the absolute "super strategy" left to us by our ancestors. Individuals can dislike it, and a handful of people can not see clearly, but the Huaxia Civilization collective must adhere to this strategy.
Because we do not persist, there is no hope for mankind.
The cultural core of Westerners is the Bible, which is contrary to us and feels that life is guilty.
In the Western culture, there is no ‘de’ culture, and ‘ritual’ only stays at the level of law and magic.
Their culture relies on God, and God has given mankind the commandments! This is the level of the ‘Dharma’ in the above quadrant.
And we are the level of ‘reason’, one dimension higher!
So Western culture is doomed that they cannot understand our thinking, but our thinking model can understand them, analyze and tolerate them.
In the existing civilization, if all mankind is dominated by other countries, mankind will be out of play.
Mankind has not perished, because there is still China, and the light of human civilization is our [ritual].
I don't know how to explain this deduction to you clearly, it is difficult to tell. People who don’t understand don’t need to rush to squirt, slowly realize.
Anyway, I personally have finished the deduction, and I feel that my research on Yi has been small.
And anyway, our civilization is already doing this, and it's okay, so it doesn't matter if a group of people don't understand, it's harmless.
Now our civilized principles of conduct are still the same, and everyone who cares about national affairs understands it, so I won’t give an example.
It is impossible for Western countries to understand what our civilization is going to do. Our game is very big...
Our civilization is destined to be the victory of cultural conquest, because the core of our culture is the [Book of Changes], which is to be the longest of all souls! It is the leader of the concept of civilization itself, not the leader of the territory, and is one of the four great [people] of the universe.
Regarding why intelligent creatures are one of the "Four Big Universes", I will specifically explain this in the future.
In short, to lead all living beings to a better and more harmonious future is the mission left to us by the humanistic thoughts of our ancestors!
This is our ritual. Our ritual comes from the fusion of Yi Li and Virtue. It is derived from Tao.
Relying on this strategy, we can see a sign in our lifetime, from 2035 to 2045, and you will understand it then.
So what is the goal of this civilization? In other words, when is this kind of "li" strategy?
It's very simple. This has been said since ancient times: Great Harmony in the World!
Here is a special explanation. The meaning of the world's great harmony is actually cultural conquest.
The meaning of ‘Great Harmony’, the subtext contains ‘small differences’.
In our culture, there are ‘Taitong’, ‘Great Harmony’ and ‘Little Harmony’.
The word "too" means ‘big plus small’.
So too same means that all are the same, the big is the same, and the small is the same.
Huaxia Civilization has not pursued this since ancient times, but only pursued the ‘great harmony in the world’, which is neither identical nor small, but similar in common, seeking common ground while reserving differences.
In terms of the general direction and the general concept, listen to the central government, and in the sub-sections, you can figure it out by yourself... No matter how different the minor differences are, don't affect the great harmony.
What is pursuing'too'? That is ‘the world is peaceful’.
This is the word ‘太’, because it’s better to be big and flat, and small and flat!
Following this strategy, we will enter a prosperous age, then prosper and decline, and then may start in the next century, will decline again, and then become stronger again. The world of Datong does not know how many years later, but it will definitely come.
It is like a cycle, but it is a thread that expands outward.
Other civilizations are all inwardly shrinking threads.
There is no right or wrong in the world, there is only one who should or shouldn't.
When it's time to do this, you have to do it, remember that everything is not ‘blindly’, it is infinitely variable and adapts to the times.
You can learn from the West, and the results will be quick, but don’t forget to look back, don’t forget that Kanglong has regrets, don’t forget that Tai Chi is a wave.
Don't learn one set, forget our own set, and in the end, the dimensionality has been reduced... Since ancient times, we have all learned one set and strengthened our own set.
Up and down, left and right, yin and yang, yin and yang!
Constantly changing, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com keeps adapting, but enough! The reason for this change is the core of our civilization.
This is the hexagram that China Civilization has been opening!
...
The above is not to be believed, it is better not to look at it!
