Chapter 12, no handover

1. Binary culture is a culture of inertial thinking, which has inferior roots

Because there is a problem with the principle of the dualistic structure, that is, the dualistic structure is a closed space at any finite pole, and it is an open space at any infinite pole, so the dualistic structure has the phenomenon of inertial development of neither left nor right, that is, if it is closed, it is closed to death, and if it is open, it is open and boundless. Therefore, dualistic culture is a culture of inertial thinking, which has inferior roots.

North and South Korea, for example, are deeply influenced by Confucian culture. So there is a serious dualistic culture in the cultures of these two countries. Don't just look at the superficial appearance, it seems that both countries are very modern, one is a private democracy representing the capitalist system, and the other is a centralized state of public ownership representing the socialist system. In fact, these two countries are nothing, and they are still feudal countries under a dualistic system.

To be precise, the private democracy under the capitalist system represented by South Korea is not a complete Western democracy, but a country with a strong Confucian dualistic thinking. North Korea represents the centralized system of public ownership under the socialist system, and it is also a feudal system under the centralized system mixed with the dualistic thinking of strong Confucian culture.

If we make it more clear that the social system represented by South Korea is "an open space at any infinite pole", there is a serious situation of openness and boundlessness in the social system of South Korea. The tragic fate of South Korea's successive presidents is the result of binary inertial thinking.

However, in the name of the public ownership republican system, North Korea actually inherited the feudal royal system. This in turn shows the dualistic structural phenomenon of "a closed space at any finite pole", so the social system of North Korea has a culture of inertia and has a serious defect of being closed to death.

Looking at the essence of the phenomenon, it is obvious that there is a serious open and boundless demonic pattern in South Korea's social system. Judging from the current arrest of Park Geun-hye, the real culprit of the former South Korean president's imprisonment is not the Choi Soon-sil incident, but the consequence of the bad roots of the South Korean people's habitual thinking. The power and honor of the president were artificially pushed to the extreme at the beginning of the election, creating a false impression on the electee, and greatly inflating the space for the elect's interests, which eventually led to tragedy.

This is the inferiority of the inertial thinking of the binary structure, in which when the elected person is pushed to the pinnacle of power, the people below are desperately touted and the leader is blown into the clouds, completely ignoring the actual ability of one person. And when there is a problem, the people below will in turn add fuel to the fire, push the elected person off the altar, and then step on 10,000 feet, trample on and ravage it, so that it will be stinking for 10,000 years, completely forgetting the results advocated at the time of the election, and completely pushing the responsibility and dirt to a person who has been touted by others, ignoring the honor of the country and the interests of the people, and calling it a society of democracy and the rule of law. In my opinion, even if such a democratic system is not needed, and a country where even the president cannot guarantee security, there is no limit to honor and disgrace, how can such a country have a future? Naturally, the people cannot get a real democratic politics.

After the end of World War II, Japan and South Korea simultaneously accepted the reform of Western democratic systems, but since Japan has been selective in accepting foreign cultures since ancient times, the Japanese have not been much influenced by Chinese culture. Therefore, Japan is relatively perfect in accepting the reform of the Western democratic system, and the Japanese have accepted the constitutional monarchy system, which has relatively perfectly protected the dignity of the monarch and left a way back for the people to be honored and disgraced.

After the end of World War II, the Koreans ushered in the Korean unification war, therefore, the Koreans retained more of the feudal centralized system in the reform of the Western democratic system, but after the sixties of the last century, when the South Korean state stabilized, in turn in the transformation of the state apparatus, the Western democratic politics with boundless legal system was adopted, so that the leader of the people was also placed in the center of the heart, completely abandoning the basic founding principle that the president represents the honor of the country, and placing the president at the center of the storm surge, resulting in the rotation of the Korean president as the most dangerous profession in the world。 How can there be hope for such a country?

Such a democracy is better off, and people who often slap themselves cannot have dignity. How can a person without dignity straighten up and be a man?

North Korea, on the other hand, is a closed society at any limited pole, and excessive closure leads to a completely closed society, and the people living in this context cannot find themselves, have no dignity, and have no mirror to look at, such a country has completely returned to the period of dualist feudal rule, and what is the progress of civilization in human society?

Therefore, there is no doubt about the regression of Korean civilization, but I will not make too much of an assessment of the Joseon Dynasty here.

Second, talking about popularity, changeability, and virtuality is the root cause of the death of Chinese culture

The reason why I have repeatedly emphasized that the roots of Chinese culture are virtual is that the yin and yang world depicted in "Vena" is a world that does not exist at all.

For example, Taijiquan, many people regard Taijizhang as an excellent way to strengthen the body, and the ancients even applied it to war, believing that Taijiquan is a model of overcoming rigidity with softness.

Actually? Not really. In fact, the real Tai Chi not only cannot strengthen the body, but is a martial arts competitive skill that is easy to damage the body's functions. What is the reason?

In fact, the reason is very simple, the reason comes from the word "qi" in the word "rational qi" in yin and yang.

Yin-Yang tells us that the human body is yin and yang, and the functions of the human body are completely dependent on the virtual yin and yang functions to operate, and the power source that maintains the two functions of yin and yang is "qi", which is not the air we often breathe, but the "spleen" that is transported to the spleen after the operation of the lungs, and this "spleen" is the power source of the human organs, because the "spleen" is the source of qi that controls the heart. The heart's supply of blood to the periphery of the body is the driving force of the spleen.

So, what does Tai Chi have to do with "temper"?

Tai Chi has too much to do with "temper". The exercise process of Tai Chi is the process of mobilizing the "temper". Tai Chi and Qigong have a function that has been passed down from generation to generation, both of which are derived from the theory of Yin and Yang, and both are mobilizing and adjusting the "temper" of Yin and Yang, which is what scientists call "adrenaline" today, which is the key to the problem and the reason why ordinary people cannot practice Tai Chi at will.

The consequences of ordinary people practicing Tai Chi at will are unimaginable, not only can they not live long, but they are harmful to their health. Why?

If I say this, many people will stand up against me, or even scold me. But the fact is that no matter what kind of Tai Chi is in charge, they don't live long. You can check this question, there are facts to prove the truth, you understand the age of the life of the past generations of Taijiquan leaders, and then you go back and read this article, you can understand why ordinary people can't practice Taijiquan at will.

Because as long as you practice Tai Chi, you have to practice the "popularity" and "changeability" of "temper", otherwise, you are not practicing Tai Chi.

The purpose of Taijiquan is to mobilize and adjust the "temper" of yin and yang, so as to achieve the consistency of mind, qi, form and spirit, and to gather the will, command the qi, trim the form, and nourish the expression. In order to achieve the harmonious coexistence of human physiology and psychology. It has the effect of controlling adrenaline secretion during exercise.

However, don't forget that practicing Tai Chi is a process of mobilizing and adjusting the yin and yang "temper", and this process first affects the heart.

Modern medicine tells us that the human heart is located in the middle of the chest cavity to the lower left, and is composed of four myocardial tissues: left atrium, left ventricle, right atrium, and right ventricle. "The main function is to promote blood flow, provide sufficient blood flow to organs and tissues to supply oxygen and various nutrients, and take away metabolic end products (such as carbon dioxide, inorganic salts, urea and uric acid, etc.), so that cells can maintain normal metabolism and function. ”

And where does the oxygen that supplies the heart come from? This Western medicine does not say, but Chinese medicine reasoned that the gas entering the heart came from the spleen. The spleen "is the main transport, the blood, the subtlety of the water valley, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, the human organs all rely on the spleen to nourish, so it is called the acquired foundation. In the five elements, it belongs to the earth, which is the yin of the yin. The spleen corresponds to the four seasons of the long summer. "The spleen is the blood, and the blood runs up and down, all thanks to the spleen. If the spleen and yang are deficient, then the blood cannot be unified" ("The Theory of Blood Evidence: The Pathogenesis of the Viscera") "The spleen is unified with blood, and if the spleen is deficient, it cannot take blood; if the spleen is deficient, it cannot be transported, and the blood is not owned, so it falls off and acts in vain" ("Jin Kuiyi, Volume 2"). This is the understanding of Chinese medicine that the spleen controls the heart and blood qi.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a weak understanding of the spleen and has no specific identification.

However, in the view of Western medicine, adrenaline is the real factor of heart blood movement, adrenaline can strengthen myocardial contractility, increase excitability, accelerate conduction, and increase cardiac output. In states of exercise, sexual stimulation, anger, fear, etc., it stimulates the secretion of adrenaline.

Western medicine believes that the spleen is an organ that stores blood and produces lymphatic and antibodies, and has the role of regulating metabolism. The spleen is an important lymphatic organ that has the functions of hematopoiesis, blood filtration, removal of senescent blood cells and immune response. ”

By understanding the function of the heart and spleen, we can roughly understand why the average person should not practice Tai Chi. The reason is that practicing Tai Chi requires regulating yin and yang and spleen, controlling the blood of the whole body and regulating blood circulation. That is, Westerners say that regulating the amount of adrenaline, relying on the spleen to produce lymphocytes to stimulate the end of the sympathetic nerve, creating conditions for the chemical transmission of adrenaline, to "act on the β1 receptors of the myocardium, conduction system and sinus node, strengthen myocardial contractility, accelerate conduction, accelerate heart rate, and improve myocardial excitability." ”

Tai Chi is a kind of physical and mental exercise method that uses breathing adjustment, physical activity adjustment and consciousness adjustment (pranayama, shape adjustment, and heart adjustment) as a means to strengthen the body, exercise and achieve the development of potential.

That is to say, in the adjustment of breathing, the Tai Chi exercise adjusts the process of transporting the lung qi into the spleen and generating the spleen, in the physical activity, the qigong exercise adjusts the process of transporting the qi and blood of the heart, and in the adjustment of consciousness, the qigong takes the process of transporting adrenaline. That is, in traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered to be the movement of the spleen, and in the state of exercise, sexual stimulation, anger, or fear, it will stimulate the quantification of the spleen, which is the secretion of adrenaline according to Western medicine.

Therefore, the whole process of Tai Chi movement is the quantitative process of spleen, that is, the secretion of adrenaline. This is very important, the quantification of spleen, the secretion of adrenaline, must be carried out in conscious and sequential conditions, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

It can be seen that Tai Chi exercise is not a popular exercise, and can only adjust the breathing, body and consciousness in a state of order, condition, choice, consciousness and method. Even so, there are still many yin and yang athletes who have gone mad.

What does it mean to go mad? In the vernacular, it is caused by the failure of the temper and the retrograde movement of the air current. Western medicine is the imbalance of adrenaline secretion, the failure of myocardial contraction, the uncontrolled conduction of myocardial excitability, and eventually lead to the loss of control of human body functions, causing a series of serious physical health disasters.

It can also be seen from here that there are serious flaws in the foundation of TCM theory, and the defect lies in the fact that TCM theory is false, and many actual things are virtual hypotheses, which are inconsistent with actual existence. Therefore, if the theory of traditional Chinese medicine wants to better serve the people in practice, it must return from heaven to earth, from the virtual world to the real society, and start from reality to practice real medical theory. Only in this way can Chinese medicine be carried forward.

Xiang said: Ba Mao Zhenji, the ambition is also in the king.

Confucian scholars said: Pluck the stems of the thatch, use them as ingredients, gather them together, and prepare them for emergencies, aiming to be a good slave according to the king's will.

Sixty-two resignations

Sixty-two. Bao Cheng, the villain Ji, the adult no, Heng.

Wrap and wrap something. Bear, negative also.

On the nine resignations

On nine. Pour no, first no and then happy.

Tilt, too. Incline.

Note: If people can't tilt, it is not appropriate at first, and then it is festive and meritorious.

Xiang said: If you don't end up, you will pour, how can you grow.

Confucian scholars commented: If there is no end, it will be overturned, how can it last long.

Judging from this hexagram, it is not possible to describe a person's actions half-heartedly. You can't stop and go, and your will is not strong. From the words, we can also see the difficulties of the life of the people along the Yellow River in ancient times, with rough buds and grass, trekking, just to find mulberry trees to satisfy hunger. It can also be seen that the Confucian scholars used proverbs as a propaganda tool to publicize the order of the upper and lower orders, and there was no violation of the royal flock culture.

Here are four sentences to sum up:

If you don't make the world, you can't get through the world,

The monarch is strong and the people obey the power system.

Men and women are not chaotic,

Otherwise, it won't last long.
