Chapter 164: Above the Peak

Zong, root, root, source. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xu Guangling understands it this way.

For example, authentic Laotan sauerkraut noodles, plus an authentic, means that this is "positive" from the "zong", that is, this is not some outside bewitching and cheap goods, this is a lineage inheritance from the source.

And for this word, Zhang Lao said this:

"Back then, after surpassing the brothers, the teacher, and many ancient masters, there was a period of confusion and confusion, not knowing where to go next, and not knowing whether the teacher had stood at a higher peak. ”

"Being a teacher is really confusing. The old man said lightly, "Any industry is like this, the more you are in the lower position, the greater the room for improvement, and the less difficult it is to improve. But the higher you go, the more you give and you reap, the more the poles of the balance will swap positions little by little, until they are completely reversed. ”

"And then to the back, to the point of being a teacher, many times, I only see the pay, but I don't see the slightest gain. ”

Xu Guangling nodded.

He didn't have the experience of standing at the pinnacle of an industry like Zhang Lao, but when he was in school, he still had similar feelings, from himself and from others. -- It's easy to raise 60 to 70, but it's a bit difficult to raise 70 to 80.

It is not easy to raise 80 to 90, and 90 to 95...... It can be said that it is no longer possible to do it simply by working hard.

There is a term in psychology called the "marginal diminishing effect".

When you are very hungry, eat the first steamed bun, and the sense of satisfaction and happiness is the greatest, and then the further down you eat, the lower the good feeling is, until finally, it is low to zero, or even low to negative.

This is also the reason why Huaxia pays attention to eating eight points full, pouring eight points full of wine, etc., people who don't know may think that this is "pedantic", and people who know a little shallow will think that this is leaving room for doing things, but only if you know what it is, you will understand that what is involved in this is actually the marginal decreasing effect.

This term was proposed by the West, and it was not long ago, but in ancient China, a long, long time ago, there was a word called "the extreme of things must be opposed".

The opposite of the extremes of matter includes the marginal diminishing effect, and also includes the other side that the marginal diminishing effect does not reveal, that is, after breaking through a certain margin, the effect will not only decay to zero, but will continue to decline from zero.

Is it okay to eat eight minutes full, eat nine points full, ten points full, eleven points full, and twelve points full?

OK.

But it's really not worth it.

On the one hand, this kind of oversaturation does not actually bring more experience good, and on the other hand, it also lowers the expectation of the next meal, not to mention the physical aspect of non-psychological feelings, which is definitely not good for the body.

It's true for eating, it's the same for sleeping, it's true for many other things!

Temperance is not for the sake of purity, on the contrary, it is for the sake of enjoying more, enjoying better!

If you are tired of life, feel the same, feel a lack of expectations, feel like a pool of stagnant water, and so on, as long as you take a little moderation, start with the most basic diet and sleep, eat eight points full, sleep eight points well, and then you will find that everything else will follow the wind and water.

In Xu Guangling's faint thoughts, Zhang Lao's exposition continued: "These are the two paths that appeared in front of the teacher at that time, one is to continue to concentrate on the study of medical skills, but I don't know where to improve. The problem is that the gain is bound to be very small, or even completely none, but this is conceivable. ”

"The other way is to be a fly camp dog in the world. ”

Zhang Lao said, with a faint smile on his face, neither proud nor ashamed, but a look that looked extremely neutral, "Humble words, I am not afraid to boast about being a teacher in front of you, although the medical skills of the teacher at that time were far worse than later, but compared to my peers, compared to Kyushu, I was already the second for the teacher, and no one dared to admit the first." ”

When any industry reaches its peak, the circle will be small.

And in that very small circle, claiming to be second, no one dares to recognize the first......

Thinking of the scene, Xu Guangling was also overwhelmed with admiration, so he gave the teacher a compliment at this time, and he gave a thumbs up and said: "Teacher, you cow!"

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen both laughed, and the smile on Mr. Zhang's face deepened, and then said: "Medical skills are still very useful, the chef is extremely good, at most he is an imperial chef, and his medical skills are at the peak, but he can not only be an imperial doctor." ”

Xu Guangling didn't understand the specifics, but he was generally clear.

In ancient China, since Qin Shi Huang, Fangshi, Taoist, Warlock and the like have been playing a special role in the upper echelons of society, through history, ordinary people may think that they are "clowns", or similar to clowns, but if you know a little more, as long as you know that these people are not only active in the "faint monarch" era, but also active in the "Ming monarch" era, you will know that there are many obscure and concealed places, and the world is difficult to know.

In the modern era, the "light of science" shines in, does this phenomenon no longer exist?

Xu Guangling didn't believe it.

In ancient times, in the long period of several thousand years, in the social superstructure of those generations, it was unreasonable and extremely unreasonable to say that so many monarchs and ministers were fools!

There have always been lower nine streams, tricks and the like, but in addition to the lower nine streams, there must be upper nine streams!

And what do those monks, Taoists, warlocks, and the like rely on?

Among them, seven or eight points are connected with medicine.

So Xu Guangling nodded again, his medical skills have reached the pinnacle, and he can indeed be more than just an imperial doctor.

"When I was a teacher, it was a real conversation and laughter, and there was no vain exchange. Zhang Lao smiled faintly, of course, the Hongru Bai Ding in his words at this time was definitely not the original meaning of this sentence, "Later, your Master Chen's top trick was opened, and then this shameless old guy played a trick in front of the teacher, or in the words of you young people, showed off his hand." ”

was said to be Master Chen, said to be shameless, said to be an old guy, and threw three words in a row, Mr. Chen was surprisingly good-tempered at this time, with a smile on his face, and even a very proud smile.

"He is in the teacher's study, of course, not this study, reading a hundred books a day, and a hundred books are recited. ”
