Chapter 76 Either cultivation is the way, and there are many sages in ancient times
Following Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, Fan Li, and Zhang Liang, Zhang Lao continued to list the names of people one by one, probably in the order of dynasties, from the beginning to the end, to the final, to the modern librarian. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is also the last name listed by Zhang Lao.
Start with the librarian and end with the librarian.
In the middle, every time a name is proposed, Zhang Lao basically says: "What do you think of this person?"
What can Xu Guangling think?
In fact, there is a lot to say about these people, Xu Guangling basically knows a little about these people, their life deeds, their posthumous evaluations, and so on, but he generally does not do this kind of behavior of commenting on extraordinary people, and there is only one reason. ββFrom what standpoint?
So at this time, he probably said a sentence or two briefly.
But it is not perfunctory, before saying that, Xu Guangling has thought about it seriously, and it is indeed a serious summary of one or two sentences, although it does not involve praise or disparagement, but from the perspective of summary, it should be qualified.
And Zhang Lao's reaction was to nod his head and continue to ask.
One after the other.
It wasn't until the end, after listing all the names of the people to be listed, and listening to Xu Guangling's answer, that he said again: "Humble words, have you heard of the couplet?"
"New Year's Day, festival number Changchun?" Xu Guangling said.
Zhang Lao smiled, and Mr. Chen also smiled, because this is the first couplet in the history of the legend, which can be regarded as the "pioneer monster" of the couplet.
Of course, strictly speaking, this is just a kind of couplet, "Spring Festival couplet", after the Shu Mengchang inscribed this couplet, in history, this format of text, has been played out a lot of tricks, "poetry and song couplet", poems, poems (words), songs, couplets, is the four major flowers in the ancient rhyme text.
In the movie Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang, Tang Bohu played with "Piercing the Intestines", which is this thing.
"It's good to have heard of it. Zhang Lao smiled, "Then I will also make a couplet today, if you are interested, you might as well try to do it, of course, you don't have to be right today, you can do it anytime in the future." β
After a pause, Zhang Lao slowly recited: "Either raising is the way, and there are many sages in ancient times. β
Raising, health family, Taoist, Taoist, when he heard this uplink from Zhang Lao, when he was listed one by one before, Xu Guangling faintly felt something that was suddenly penetrated by this sentence at this time, and for a while, it made him feel shocked or empowered, in short, a shake, or a spirit.
This couplet, in terms of format, is very simple.
If it really is right, Xu Guangling can casually come up with ten or eight points, and at this time, it will not take more than five minutes! But since he understands Zhang Lao's intentions, he naturally can't be blind at will, it can be said that the previous inquiries of Mr. Zhang Lao are those "What kind of person do you think this is?", not really asking, not exams.
The real questions and test papers are here!
If this is not answered well, if he still answers casually like before, it will really lower the impression score!
Fortunately, Zhang Lao left him time.
It's basically an open-book exam, and it's time-limited. As a good student in the past, Xu Guangling is still confident that he can answer it well.
Xu Guangling didn't plan to do his best, and later or before leaving, he would give this couplet out, in that case, Zhang Lao was probably not pleased, but disappointed. -- Sometimes, the answer doesn't matter.
Or rather, it's not the answer.
It's the process of searching for answers, and the gains in the process.
This test paper, in Xu Guangling's view, is generally like this. Of course, this is only Xu Guangling's own opinion, and I don't know whether Zhang Lao himself means this.
At this time, Xu Guangling just nodded and said, "Either raising is the way, and there are many sages in ancient times." Zhang Lao, I wrote it down, after I go back, I will look up the information first, and then think about how to make this couplet, please give me a little time. β
"Don't be in a hurry, ten days is not early, October is not too late, even ten years is not too late. Zhang Lao smiled, and directly extended the opening time almost indefinitely, "Okay, this is an appetizer, a casual topic, let's talk about something formal." β
Appetizer?
Casual topic?
Xu Guangling just wanted to say that just this appetizer already made him feel like he had just eaten a lot.
Zhang Lao's questions or ideas directly gave him a new perspective, allowing him to observe history and those famous and virtuous figures from this direction. is still the same sentence, the answer is not important, and even whether Zhang Lao's summary is correct or not does not matter.
What matters is this clue.
When you mention it and shake it, you should be able to shake out some things hidden under the long river of history, and those things cannot be seen in the text and in the historical records.
A character is like a line, if these lines intersect, the "intersection" can be found. The written records that are divided into different times and are not comprehensive so that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false are all barriers, but the ideas provided by Zhang Lao are an auxiliary line.
An auxiliary line may not be enough, but the auxiliary line itself is also an idea. -- If there is one, there can be a second and third......
Xu Guangling didn't know how to express his gratitude to Elder Zhang, and all he could do at this time was to listen respectfully.
If the previous one was really just an "appetizer", what would the old "main dish" look like?
"Humble words, have you ever heard of the book 'Neijing'?" asked Mr. Zhang at this time.
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Scripture?" Xu Guangling said.
Zhang Lao nodded.
"I've heard of it, and I've read some general introductions to the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, but I haven't read this book. Xu Guangling said a little embarrassed. In the past, he had seen this book in several libraries, but because he knew it early on that it was a medical classic, he never had the intention of turning it over.
Zhang Lao smiled, got up, took out a book from the shelf, then walked back and handed it to Xu Guangling, "Humble words, huh, you look at the first section, the focus is on the small paragraph I marked." β
Xu Guangling got up, stretched out his hands to take it, looked down, but found that it was the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", and when he opened the first section that Zhang Lao said, he saw the paragraph that was underlined with a pencil-
Qi Bo said:
The woman is seven years old, the kidney qi is vigorous, and the teeth are longer; the second seven and the heavens are to the end, Ren pulse is connected, the Taichong pulse is prosperous, and the moon is in the present, so there is a child; the third seven, the kidney qi is average, so the true teeth are born and grow extremely; the fourth seven, the muscles and bones are strong, the hair is long, and the body is strong; the fifth seven, the yang and bright veins are weak, the face begins to burn, and the hair begins to fall; the six and seven and the three yang veins are weakened on the top, the face is scorched, and the hair begins to be white; seventy-seven, the Ren pulse is weak, the Taichong pulse is weak, the sky is exhausted, the tunnel is impassable, so the shape is bad and there is no child.
The husband is eight years old, the kidney qi is solid, and the hair has long teeth; the second eight, the kidney qi is vigorous, the heavenly qi is full, the essence is overflowing, the yin and yang are harmonious, so he can have children; the third eight, the kidney qi is average, the muscles and bones are strong, so the true teeth are born and grow, the fourth eight, the muscles are strong, the muscles are strong; the fifth eight, the kidney qi is weak, and the teeth are falling; the six eighth, the yang qi is exhausted, the face is scorched, and the temples are white; seventy-eight, the liver qi is weak, the tendons cannot move, the heaven is exhausted, the essence is scarce, the kidney is weak, and the body is extremely strong; eighty-eight, the teeth are gone.
The main water of the kidneys is hidden by the essence of the five Tibets and six mansions, so the five Tibets are full of energy, and they can be laxative. Today, the five Tibets are all declining, the muscles and bones are degraded, and the heavens are gone. Therefore, the hair is white, the body is heavy, the walk is not right, and there are no ears.
