The protagonist of the story is Lao Tzu, whose surname is Li Ming'er, whose nickname is Dan, and whose name is Boyang.

Huaxia nationality, born in Chen Guoku County during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zhou Dynasty, was born about 571 BC and died in 471 BC.

Lao Tzu is a great thinker, philosopher, writer and historian in ancient China, the founder and main representative of our Taoist school, and was posthumously regarded as the ancestor of the surname Li by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Lao Tzu is a world cultural celebrity, one of the world's 100 historical celebrities, there is a "Tao Te Ching" (also known as "Lao Tzu") in the world, the core essence of his works is the simple dialectic, advocating the rule of inaction.

Lao Tzu uses "Tao" to explain the evolution of all things in the universe, "Tao" is an objective natural law, and at the same time has the eternal meaning of "independence does not change, and the cycle does not perish".

The book "Lao Tzu" contains a large number of naïve dialectical views, such as the belief that everything has both positive and negative sides, and can be transformed from opposites, is "the movement of the opposite", "the right and the complex are strange, and the good is the demon", "the misfortune and the blessing are relied on, and the blessing and misfortune are lurking".

He also thinks that everything in the world is the unity of "being" and "nothing", "existence and non-existence are born together", and "nothing" is the basis, "everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing".

His aphorisms about the people are: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss, but the way of man is not, and the loss is not enough to give more than enough"; The hunger of the people is as much as the food tax";" The light death of the people is the thickness of survival on it"; The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?".

His philosophical ideas and the Taoist school founded by him have not only made important contributions to the development of China's ancient ideology and culture, but also exerted a far-reaching impact on the development of China's ideology and culture for more than 2,000 years.

The detailed deeds of Lao Tzu are no longer examinable, and the story I tell is about him and Confucius.

Confucius once came to the Zhou capital from the state of Lu and asked him about "etiquette".

Lao Tzu said: "Your so-called rites, the people who advocate it have long since died, even the bones have rotted, and only their words remain." When the time comes, a gentleman should drive out to be an official, and if he is not born at the right time, he should live in seclusion......

"I have heard that the rich and noble will give money to their friends, and the virtuous will give proverbs to their friends, and I am not a rich person, so I will send you a few words! In today's situation, some people who think themselves very clever have brought trouble to themselves, mainly because they like to ridicule others, praise others excessively, and they think of themselves as high and arrogant.

"Let go of all those arrogance, desires, and pretentiousness, these are not good for a gentleman, and that's all I can tell you. ”

Confucius benefited a lot from hearing this, and after leaving the Zhou capital, he returned to the state of Lu, and his disciples came forward to ask: what kind of person Lao Tzu is.

Confucius said to his disciples, "I know that birds can fly in the sky, fish can swim in water, and beasts can run on the earth."

"Those who can run can catch with a net, those who can swim can catch with a hook, and those who can fly can shoot with arrows.

"But, dragon, I don't know what to do, it can soar through the clouds and fog for nine days, and the Lao Tzu I visited today is like a dragon!"

It can be seen that Confucius's admiration for Lao Tzu is beyond words.

Kowloon finally understood that Taoism was broad and profound, and its ancestor was a figure who could be on the same level as Confucius.

Yes, there are too many things related to Taoism around me, even if the stone path I am seeking now, isn't it also related to Taoism?

Jiulong was about to ask Mr. Fu about the question related to stones and Tao, but Mr. Yang took the lead: "Mr. Fu, I know what you said is too right, Taoism talks about traditional Chinese culture, pay attention to patriotism, I want your 'soul of Jiulongbi', but also to learn more traditional culture, to spread more traditional culture, you will fulfill me." ”

"Wait, Lao Yang, what do you mean, I didn't understand. ”

Teacher Wang interjected.

"He wants to rob and get my 'Stone King' away, I won't do it!"

Mr. Fu answered on behalf of Mr. Yang, and rejected the other party's request very cleanly.

Mr. Yang was very aggrieved: "Naturally, you come to judge the theory, how can I rob him, I have bid up to 2 million, and I am very sincere to invite this baby home." ”

"This is my treasure, how can I sell it so easily?"

Mr. Fu was still shaking his head.

"You see how sincere I am, I will come over as soon as I have time, and my soul will be hooked by this stone, you can do it, but my heart's wish. ”

Mr. Yang pretended to be pitiful.

"No wonder every time I come to Mr. Fu's house, I can meet you, sincere enough, Mr. Fu, your stone is related to him, you can fulfill him. ”

"No one can be a lobbyist, I myself am the most destined for it. ”

Mr. Fu didn't show anger on his face, he was still there, drinking tea leisurely.

Jiulong knew that there would be no result for a while, so he signaled to Mr. Fu that he wanted to visit his stone museum, and Mr. Fu smiled: "Just visit, I won't have time to accompany you." ”

Kowloon first visited the first floor, and before it went far, there was a piece weighing about 8 tons (198×254×186cm), which was very imposing.

There is a striking plaque that reads: "The soul of Kowloonbi." ”

The whole body of the stone is turquoise, colorful, smooth and moist, and the changes are ethereal.

The upper part is in the shape of a Kunpeng spreading its wings, with an alert head and slightly spread wings vividly and smoothly, which is very expressive of Moorish sculpture;

In the middle, a huge water stone cave suddenly appeared, with a diameter of 1.5 meters, meandering forward, deep and silky;

The lower pier is solid and heavy, stable and robust, like a modern sculpture, giving people a strong shock and artistic enjoyment.

In addition to the huge volume, the most eye-catching thing is that it is the same on the outside and inside, with white flowing lines sandwiched in the light blue-green texture color, forming the obvious characteristics of the soul veins of the Nine Dragon Wall that are bright and swaying.

"The soul of the Nine Dragon Wall" is like a giant sculpture, no matter from that angle to appreciate this beautiful stone, there is an indescribable charm of beauty, the beauty of the empty spirituality, only its strange one is precious, it can be called the fine product in the stone.

"This strange stone is fascinating just to see the color, green with hope, the texture is like the annual rings of the years, full of the vicissitudes of history, the whole image is thick and light, like a visitor from outside the sky, the most unique is the huge hole, like the passage of time, take you to the ancient times and the ancestors of the dialogue, it is really amazing. Kowloon couldn't help but exclaim.

Mr. Fu and the others kept talking, but when they heard Kowloon's comments, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Especially Mr. Fu, he came over specially: "Young man, your comments are the most in line with my heart, I didn't expect that at such a young age, there would be such cultivation, you can take a good look at the others, and when I deal with Mr. Yang, I will have a good chat with you." ”

Jiulong hurriedly clenched his fists: "I'm sorry to disturb you, you're busy." ”

Kowloon continues the tour.
