This article is written because of the entrustment, in the past I have heard that some people are very good at the study of words, can say the truth contained in the text, I myself have no knowledge, I used to see others test words, I am very envious, although I have also reflected many times, but I just can't learn anything, when others asked me about the way of words, I was really shocked, this is not to let an illiterate give a lecture to the doctor?

Although I occasionally hold on to the scriptures of the sages, I often read a book without words, which makes it relatively easy for the illiterate to read, because there are no words in this book that I don't know, only feelings that I don't understand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I really don't know much about the way of words, but when I read the wordless book, I found a truth, that is, everything in the world has an origin, if there is no origin, then there is no afterthought, there is no cause and no effect, and there must be a cause if there is an effect.

So where is the origin of writing? Things in the world, first there is nothing, then there is nothing, before there are people, that is, there is no one, before there are words, there should be no words, if the people in the world do not need words, then naturally there is no need to create words, so what is the reason for people to create them? Why do people not need words before they are made?

First of all, we should know that when we start to learn to recognize words from an early age, we all recognize the pronunciation of words, so the words are used to describe the language, if someone has never been literate, but someone teaches him to memorize articles, then the person's literary accomplishment should not be bad, so the text is the language of the phase, and the language is the text of the phase.

Again, it should be known that there are regional differences in the world, different lands, and different human language customs, although there is not much difference in the habits of people of various races to eat, drink, and sleep every day, but in different races, the language of expressing these things is different, so the language habits are also different, so if the pure-bred people do not have intelligent talents, it is very difficult to learn foreign languages.

It should be known again and again that different languages describe the same thing, because of their different pronunciations, different customs and habits, and different hobbies and trade-offs, so there are many differences when forming words, such as some ethnic characters are pictograms, which have not changed through the ages, some are diamond-shaped, some are square, some are circular, some are streamlined, some are square circular, some are square streamlined, some are circular streamlined, and many categories are different because of their customs and hobbies.

Again and again, we should know that those who can concretize language into words must be wise men, and even sages, and should know that not all words are created by sages and wise men, and that sages teach the principles of the Great Dao by words and deeds, and that there are wise people in the world who can draw words according to the teachings of sages.

It should be known that if the size of the text is too different, it does not conform to the rules of heaven and earth, does not follow the principle of continuity, when the wise man looks at the heaven and the earth, the heaven and the earth are also the book without words, and all the things in the heaven and earth are measured by the wise, the sage, and the sage.

Therefore, according to the old legend, when the word was first created, the sky was shocked, and every bit of it could move the heaven and the earth, so there was a new thing in the world, which was the first generation of words, in this legend, when the ancient people who learned the words were also reasonable, the sage made the word is in line with the heaven and the earth, and the natural appearance is normal, if ordinary people write words, there is no sense of understanding, and it is not a new thing, so it is normal to not have that feeling.

Although time has passed, the writing that circulates in the modern world is no longer the writing of ancient times, but the writing still contains the wisdom of the sages and the supreme principle of heaven and earth; although most of the Chinese characters used by modern people are simplified, they still convey the wisdom of the sages, and if they do not conform to the principles of heaven and earth, then this writing cannot exist.

For example, there is a great way in the world, and there are millions of kinds of small ways in the world, and the small principles are also in line with the reason, for example, some people say that they are crooked, and they are also reasonable, and they are also truthful, so all the principles in the world are the principles of the great road.

For example, a family has a master, named Dadao, and Dadao has hundreds of children, each of which has its own reason, but the eldest son and concubine have the difference between high and low, which is the principle of the world. The same is true of the way of writing, from the first word, to the countless words in later generations, the use of human beings from generation to generation has changed, different civilizations have been indoctrinated, also called different cultures, cultural customs have changed, and words have also changed.

For example, the ancient traditional Chinese characters, which were all set after the Qin unified China, of course, not so many in one generation, and many words are evolved from the wise men of later generations, and the current simplified characters are also evolved from traditional Chinese characters, as for more than 3,000 years ago, there is no record of Chinese characters, was there no writing at that time? It should not be, but there are few places that need words, so there are even fewer descendants left, if there is only a batch of hundreds of characters at that time, hidden under the earth, it is not rotten and difficult to find, and it may not be recognized if it is found.

For example, Yuwang Jiuding, there must be text and pictures on it, but Jiuding can not be found, at that time in addition to Yuwang, how many people can use words? Not to mention that in ancient times, there were few words, just to describe the language, at that time there were not many differences in human language, so there was no need for many classification words.

In the past, human divinity was sufficient, and words could convey the meaning of the gods, and language was rarely used, let alone words? This is the reason for the emergence of words, and there is another topic to be said, that is, the transmission of words, and the way of transmission is the key.

Modern people live very happily, they can go to any country they want to learn any language, learn any language they want, or translate whatever language they want, and they can do it on the Internet, which was unimaginable 50 years ago, and even more so 500 years ago.

Looking back from the contemporary era, the more ancient times, the smaller the scope of human cultural transmission, the use of written books is a very critical place, since the advent of movable type printing, the history of abuse of books and texts has begun. For example, a large number of Tang poems were written on silk silk, and there were still many bamboo slips used at that time; after the Song Dynasty, there were books for poetry and songs, and the literati themselves compiled their own poems into books.

After the Ming Dynasty, the literati began to use paper books to write novels and prose, and then the use of books was even more flooded, resulting in endless learning for future generations, if someone can live to be 100 years old, if there is no need to eat, and there is no need to sleep every day, such a person, even if he is well-read and memorized, his life can not see one thousandth of the books printed by modern people.

Although the vernacular of modern people is easy to understand, there is no truth in it, and there is no god in its writing, as for the great writers of ancient times, every poem and every piece of fu is enough for people to taste a lifetime, and as for many sage books, each of their articles makes the wise people of the ages shake their heads and sigh, because there is God in that article, there is the author's heart, and the author's heart exists.

Of course, there are many writers among modern people, but if compared with those elites in ancient times, the gap can be imagined, and who else in the world can compare with poets and poets?

What's more, in the era when the sages of the first Qin Dynasty came out, a hundred schools of thought contended, and any representative figure was far beyond the wisdom of modern people, people in ancient times were wise, and later generations knew more, and they knew that they had obtained from their predecessors, and wisdom was born from their own hearts, so it is said that future generations only know how to chew their tongues.

Contemporary people chew the tongue of their predecessors, and future generations chew the tongue of contemporary people, and if we toss and turn, one day, there will be wise people who will end the writing in the world and destroy the writing, so that there will be no more writing in the world, and people will interact with each other by language and conscience.

For example, in ancient times, the people lived on the earth, did not know the goods, did not understand the trade, the sages remembered that the people had a difficult life, so they gathered the people and gave birth to the settlement, and then there was a society, and then there was a meeting, and the people learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and the goods were sold. As for the later gains of the people, the needs of goods increased, so that the trade was measured, and the calculation increased, and because the people in the distance of the earth came to trade with each other, there was a merchant's business.

Later, the transaction gradually had equivalent exchanges, and then there was currency, and then there were coins, so people's self-interest grew, and at first the measurement was formulated to stabilize the normal life order of the people, and the same was true for the formulation of currency, and later, the more people's desire for profit grew, it was the sin of people's greed and non-sages making rules.

Even if the sages who made the rules could see the evolution of the future, wouldn't they have made those rules? No, even if they saw the evolution of people in the future, what should be done in the present has to be done, and if they are not formulated, people's chaos will not last for tens of thousands of years.

As for the initial stability and formation of human civilization after the formation of order, gradually human beings became stronger, and all things in the world could not subdue human beings, so human arrogance gradually became heavier, so human beings wanted to surpass the heavens, the foundation was unstable, and the higher they rose, the harder they fell, so human civilization prospered and decayed because of their own desires.

As for the future, there will be people who want to destroy money, why? Because money is made by people, the so-called success is also a failure, and human beings will only destroy themselves, and other species cannot be destroyed, and everything created by human beings will also be destroyed by human beings.

As for the meaning contained in the text, if we know this sequence of birth and death, know it or not, is there any necessity? The development of the times will not change because of a certain person, and it can only change the times of a certain generation, and it is useless how much ability a person has, if no one recognizes him, he is still just a person, and if Confucius had no disciples who were willing to follow him, he must not have the great name of later generations.

If Lao Tzu had not left the Tao Te Ching, the world would probably only remember that there was such a person in the world, such as the ancient Fuxi, Nuwa, Emperor Yan, Yellow Emperor, etc., even if human beings have praised them for thousands of years, but what do they look like? How tall and short, fat and thin? What is the sound of the language? What are the eating habits? How long have they lived in the world? These things, no one knows, but they at least left some legends and reputations, even if the legends may not be accurate, but at least the world knows that such a person once existed.

In the past, there were countless great virtues who stayed in the world, even not worse than Yan Huang and other virtuous virtues, and countless wise men appeared, but for future generations, they seemed to be no different from not appearing, because later generations did not know that they had existed. Of course, virtuous people don't care whether they have a name left behind, and they even deliberately avoid leaving a name for themselves, but the life and death of the world are endless, and people are still speculating about their existence.

The saint has no name, the name is shackled, the god and man are useless, the meritorious is a burden, the person has no self, and the self is the dross.

Talking about the origin of words, as for the way of words, I dare not understand, nor dare I say that I know a little bit about it, it is less than one in a trillion, but entrusted by others, I must not speak, rough understanding of numbers, ugly places, dare to forgive me.

If we talk about the beginning of words, we should think about the beginning of the world, if we learn the way of words, we should look at the shape of heaven and earth, the shape of all words, not separated from the shape of heaven and earth, and the words of the future generations will not leave the artistic conception of heaven and earth.

The so-called Zhou, the meaning of the fullness, the so-called Yi, the meaning of the exchange, the word of Zhou, the word is not round, when the ancient painting of the earth is set in the four directions, the word is 'mouth', it is square, criss-crossed, it is a landmark, it is the shape of 'ten', the sky is the way, compared to the Taiyi, formless and formless, not Taiyi, so the name has it, and the glyph is 'one'.

The earth is the one that bears all things, and if there is one thing that can carry the earth, the heavens, and all things, what is it? This is the oneness and the void, which encompasses the heavens and the earth and does not fathom the extreme, so that the mouth is not perfect, so as to show that it encompasses all things in the heavens and the earth and is boundless.

"Ten" is a landmark, like all things, its "ten" energy and the size of all things, the complex energy measurement of geography and astronomy, is therefore "Zhou" is to accommodate these three things, as for the word "Yi", the sun and the moon, which means the sun and the moon come and go, which is the meaning of change.

The way of Zhou Yi is the way of the world, Zhou Yi is also referred to as Yi, as for the word Zhou, not for much to say, because there is no transfer around the world, so Zhou is only for the meaning of tolerance, not for the reason of change, and the reason for change, there is the change of the sun and the moon, the sun and the moon come and go, it is called Yi.

The sun and the moon hang in the void, and the earth also hangs in the void, and all things are not on the earth, and they are all called hanging images.

Hanging in the void, is to view the heaven and earth, the change of the sun and the moon, called yin and yang, the day has an image, the night has an image, the day seems to be moving and still, the night is like a static and moving, also known as the movement in the still, the movement in the stillness, the compound name is the yang in the yin, the yin in the yang, so the day and the yin and yang move the wind, the night and all things sprout and come back to life.

Qianyang is like 'one', Kunyin two 'one' and shortened and so on 'one', so the present in the virtual image, is why there are pictures first, and then there are shapes, among the pictures, eight kinds of hanging images, including the elephant of heaven and earth, the image of gossip, for which it appeared, the evolution of later generations, and the text is born.

I don't know what the first word is, but I know that the word heaven and earth do not come from behind, the sky 'one', the earth 'mouth', at that time the word sound is heaven and earth, the sky is round, the earth is square, it is a point within the 〇, it is the word day, the crescent moon contains two points, take its Kunyin image, is named the month.

Heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, after the four characters are formed, the genus of all things, is easy to name, as for the later generations, 'one' is the name of the sky, 'two' is the name of the earth, 'three' is like a person, covering the sky is 'one', the ancient inheritance, 'two' is the Kun elephant, the lower length is short, it seems that the earth is loaded, it is like the earth, as for the people, living on the earth, the world, so one of them, one of them is like people, and people are shorter than heaven and earth, so it is said that 'three' is like people.

"People" is the word, ancient to the pictogram, after the "two" like the ground, and can be like people, the ancient seal literature pictographic evolution of the change, the word two skimming, the right rotation of ninety degrees, then the present "two" image, one in the person, then the "big" word, is actually the "three" image, if so, the world, people are the big one.

Another person who wears the human character, which means that he who penetrates the reason of man and earth, and the reason of man who understands the reason of heaven, earth and man, is called 'king', and the king is the heart of heaven and earth, and the king is present in a person's body, then he is 'lord', and the lord is the king of the world, and the king of the world is called the king.

The Lord is the king of all, the king is the lord of all beings, the king of men is the lord of all, the lord of all living beings is the master of all beings, it is the king of the ancient sayings, not the king of words, but the heart of the heart, so the word "jade" is the word, the same as the word "king", the later generations will be separated, but a little more, so as not to be the king, so that it should be known, jade and the king are different, then the king and virtue are divided, so in ancient times, there are no kings, and there is no such number, only those who are the masters of all beings, and there is no one who dominates all beings, and all living beings live together.

Again, if a person lives according to his master, it is called 'dwelling', first there is the lord of the world, then there is the king of the world, and then there is the king of the world, and the king of the ancient saying is the heart, and the one who can control his heart is called Wang De, and the person who is independent according to his heart and virtue is called dwelling.

In this way, we should know that the ancient ancestors created words, from the shape of heaven and earth, but also from the root of all beings, from the principle of the Tao and the words, the road to the simple, is the ancient words of all the words to the Tao mysterious, are concise, because when the first word was created, the sages did not take the words as the mainstay, but the sages to leave the wisdom of the predecessors in the future generations, as for the growth of the knowledge of the later generations, for their contemporaries, according to the teachings of the sages and the creation of new words.

Therefore, the word of the ancient ancestors, straight to the heaven and the earth, bluntly said that the Tao is wonderful, in order to make the descendants look at the word that is to measure the change of heaven and earth, and even to understand the wonder of creation, the sages can make such a reflection for future generations, such as the parents for their children to think about the long-term, and the children enjoy a lot of blessings, do not know the suffering, or have a disgrace, arise contempt, that is, do not respect the knowledge of the teachings of the sages, so the gratitude is thin, wisdom is shortened, although the descendants look at the words of the sages, do not know the meaning, if it is to forget the original, the name is not Xiao.

I make this book, take the name of the cave Xuan, the word Dong Xuan, which has existed in ancient times, is the word "hole", such as the word "Zhou", "one" is the sky, "mouth" is the earth, the one that encompasses the heaven and the earth, is called empty, the water is injected into the void, it is called the hole, this water is attached to the meaning and the solution, so that people can easily see the reason.

Space encompasses heaven and earth, it is the image of space, it seems to be a bottomless hole, such as the word "empty", it is "work" in the "hole", if people dig holes, the holes in their holes, not empty but what? Empty is a hole, a hole is empty.

Space is a big hole, in the big hole, fill with countless large pieces of heaven and earth, in the space to see the large blocks, such as people in the room, watch its daylight, in its light, the dust is numerous, incalculable.

The so-called 'mysterious', in the color is black, in the meaning of wonderful, black in the wonderful, black in the wonderful meaning, such as the big hole, also for the black hole, as for the space, in the ground and view, the space of the mysterious, unfathomable, such as the hole, that is, the subtlety of the depth.

Cave mystery, that is, the mystery of the void, this is the meaning of the name, if the hole is to detect the meaning of the mystery, then the hole is the word, when to take the meaning, the eyes of people, the divine light is deep, the view of astronomy, can be measured for thousands of miles, so it is said that the human eye is the hole, the divine light is also the hole, so the person who says what the eye sees, the name is the insight, in this way, the meaning of the cave is the insight of the mysterious.

People's minds, such as too vague, unfathomable image, and boundless, so the heart is too empty, too void is a big hole, the same is true of the human heart, Mrs. Heart's true view, all the wonderful truth, are called the hole.

Entrusted by people, to put it simply, the way of words, very profound and mysterious, I am illiterate, dare not know, the words have been, the words have been lost, there is no text, there are no words, there are no words, to the way of silence, for the roots, when the year of the first month of the first month of the eleventh unitary time to remember.
